The vendor gave a thumbs up and drooled.
Linghu Yunlong was furious when he saw his wretched appearance. He slammed his sword on the table and said, "If you have something to say, please speak up!"
The vendor was startled and swallowed back the words that were about to come out of his mouth.
Zhao Huan hurriedly smiled and said, "Oh, it's okay, it's okay. My brother has a bad temper, but he's a good person."
The vendor didn't dare look at Linghu Yunlong anymore, and instead turned to Zhao Huan and said, "Chen Jiaoniang's land was taken over by the local wealthy businessman Zhou Paopi. She went to the county to file a complaint. The gate to the yamen faces south, so if you have a reason but no money, don't come in. The local magistrate will naturally not intervene."
Zhao Huan couldn't help but ask, "How much land did you occupy?"
"Hey, it's not much more beautiful. Zhou Paopi expanded his house and occupied a ditch from Chen Jiao's mother's house. It was because of this ditch that the two families got into a lawsuit."
Huan was greatly disappointed when he heard this. He thought it was a big deal, but after all the trouble it was just for a broken ditch.
"Then why do you say that the prefect of Yingchang Prefecture is confused?" Cao Dongsheng couldn't help asking.
The vendor chuckled and said, "This Chen Jiaoniang is no pushover. After failing to file a lawsuit in Pang County, she came to Yingchang City. The prefect, Lord Li, was quite forthright and agreed to urge Pang County to handle the case as soon as possible. But when the case was sent to Pang County, the county magistrate, Zhang Sanpai, refused to handle it and even went to the Yingchang government office to scold the prefect. You say, a mere county magistrate, actually dared to challenge his immediate superior. Hehe, Lord Li, the prefect, didn't even dare to talk back and was scolded like a dog."
Now Zhao Huan was interested again: "No, who gave this little magistrate of Pang County the courage to dare to challenge the prefectural governor in the government office?"
The vendor shook his head: "I don't know about that."
Cao Dongsheng asked curiously, "How did you know that the county magistrate scolded the prefect?"
The vendor smiled and said, "To be honest, sir, my brother works at the Yingchang government office. If it weren't for his protection, I wouldn't be able to set up a stall like this in Yingchang."
