Therefore, to a certain extent, the chief clerk was basically the second-in-command in the county, and ordinary people could not even see the county magistrate, so the case was settled.
The landlord spent all his wealth and sought help everywhere. However, the county magistrate was transferred soon after, and the county judicial system was already in chaos, with bribery, dereliction of duty, and bribery rampant. Even the officials and clerks responsible for the case disappeared, which directly led to the case being left unresolved.
If Zhao Jun had not learned about this from the landlord Yu, whose family had fallen into poverty because of this incident, and had not written a letter requesting the Constitutional Council to immediately issue an order for the Jingdong Road Judicial Department to conduct a thorough investigation, this case would probably never have been cleared up.
So as a stranger, it is not easy to get anything out of the local people.
The two chatted casually about some family matters. Seeing that he couldn't get anything out of them, Zhao Jun prepared to leave soon.
At this moment, a heart-wrenching cry suddenly came from outside: "Zhou family, you will not die well! You will not die well!"
It was a female scream, full of panic and anger, as if she was trapped in a cage.
Along with this cry, other voices were heard outside: "Why did she spit out the cloth?" "Put it back in quickly, put it back in quickly." "Don't let her scream."
Zhao Jun quickly said, "Go out and take a look."
Everyone immediately left the yard and saw a group of people coming from the village.
They were carrying a pig cage with a woman inside. At this moment, the men were putting the pig cage on the ground and then hurriedly stuffing back the cloth strips that the woman had originally spit out.
Soon the woman's mouth was blocked again, and the people carried her forward towards the small river in Zhao Jun's yard.
“What a sin!”
The old farmer followed them out.
Zhao Jun hurriedly asked, "Father, do you know what's going on?"
"What a stupid thing the Zhou family did."
The old farmer sighed, and then said something rather secretive, "Ah Xia is a pitiful woman. It was a sin to marry into the Zhou family."
"Then it seems there is injustice involved."
Zhao Jun frowned and said, "Da Lang, go stop them."
The old farmer hurriedly said, "Master, don't be reckless. The Wang family is involved here."
"Wang family?"
Zhao Jun laughed and said, "Who cares if it's the Wang family or the royal family? I've always been a busybody, so I'll take care of this matter."
He said this with a wave of his hand.
Jiang Dalang and others rushed out immediately, blocking the road and not allowing the other party to pass.
