Chapter 20 Chapter Twenty

Five days later, the yamen servants with the big ticket of Jinkou County took Lu Niupi, Zhong Deliang, Xiaodou sprouts and more than ten brothers one by one.Then, Chen's parents summoned Baozheng on the street in Nansipo, Qingpu Town, for questioning and evidence collection. After finding out the ins and outs of the matter and obtaining conclusive evidence, Chen's parents arrogantly raised the case. The movement was quite loud.Before Chen's parents went to court to ask the case, the whole Qingpu Town was already in a turmoil. Almost everyone in the big Qingpu Town knew about Lu Niupi's being taken to the Yamen in Jinkou County.At the beginning, the public opinion on the street was quite unfavorable to Lu Niupi and the others. Everyone agreed that they did it on their own, and they should really eat dozens of big boards from Chen's parents.Later, the public opinion changed—when the noble and upright Qingpu people clarified the whole story and learned that Lu Niupi had beaten Jie Maozi this time, they unanimously sympathized with them again.Compared with Lu Niupi and others, Jie Maozi and Li Maozi are even worse!These two foreigners are from outside Fanbang. It is unreasonable to come across the ocean to Qingpu. It is also unreasonable not to want to be beaten on the ground in Qingpu. It is even more unreasonable to sue the officials after being beaten. !Public opinion believes that Lu Niupi are tough and have bones, they have won face for Qingpu people, and they really shouldn't be taken away by the government.

Lu Niupi's allies saw public opinion at first sight.Sympathize with them, and they will become more enthusiastic.Under the instigation of Ruan Dacheng, they complained about Lu Niupi's grievances everywhere, saying how Jie Maozi and Li Maozi did a lot of evil, how they spread cults, and how they ruined the good geomantic omen of Qingpu Shiba Beach; How to be a hero, how to oppose a cult, how to save a declining world. In just a few days, Brother Hongmen from Qingpu successfully turned the battered Brother Lu into an incomparably brilliant hero. Ruan Dacheng and those far-sighted people in Qingpu realized that this was not a simple case of extortion, but a life-and-death struggle between two forces and two beliefs!They knew that Lu Niupi was riddled with holes, but they deliberately turned a blind eye to it. They wanted to cultivate Lu Niupi into a hero!They want to rely on this great hero to defeat Jie Maozi and Li Maozi and the forces attached to these two foreigners!

These two damn foreign men do have a lot of power, they have a group of dummies who don't want their ancestors under them, and they have a group of rentier businessmen who don't pay attention to etiquette!They and their power are at odds with the spirit of this ancient land, and they should not continue to stay in this ancient land at all. On the second day after he bribed Mr. Shadow, Ruan Dacheng consulted with Qi Mingda and Du Tianxing. The three of them agreed that this lawsuit is worth fighting. The benefits of this lawsuit outweigh the disadvantages.Winning the lawsuit will naturally establish the prestige of Ruan Dacheng and the Hongmen brothers, and at the same time eliminate the evil cult forces of the foreigners; root line.After repeated deliberation, all three of them believed that the possibility of winning the lawsuit was extremely high.

So, Ruan Dacheng sent a message to Lu Niupi through brother Hongmen in the county yamen, telling them to persevere and bite to death: The Tianfu shop was not for money, but for eradicating the cult.In this way, the key to winning or losing lies in the testimony of Mr. Shadow.Mr. Shadow firmly agreed that he must prove to death the fact that Jie Maozi preached a cult! It was a cloudy day on the opening day of the hall, the dark sky was suppressed by black clouds. Judging from the scene, a downpour of rain might fall at any time. However, there were many people gathered outside the main hall of the county government office. When he stepped into the main hall, before the first sound of "promoting the hall" came out, Ruan Dacheng, not afraid of the majesty of the government, held a petition and wanted to enter the hall.Old Chen's parents immediately passed on the message and escorted Ruan Dacheng to the court for questioning.

Ruan Dacheng was escorted to the main hall by two wolf-like guards. There is a solemn and solemn atmosphere in the main hall.The emaciated old parents of Chen sat high on the grand master's chair behind the case, a pair of eyes sunk in the eye sockets were darkly looking at the servants in the hall, and their two hands like chicken feet were playing with a stick of oil. Shiny torches.When entering the door, Ruan Dacheng also found that Jie Maozi and Li Maozi were kneeling on the left side of the main hall gate, and Lu Niupi and Zhong Deliang were kneeling on the right side of the gate. He knelt down in front of his parents.While kneeling on the ground, he saw the feet of old Chen's parents beating drums from time to time.

Old Chen's parents acted as if they didn't know him. They played with fire sticks, squinted their eyes, and asked with a long nasal voice: "Who is kneeling down? Who is he? Why disturb the court? All with this county." Come together!" Ruan Dacheng said cautiously: "Xiaomin Ruan Dacheng, a family member of the Ruan family in this county, is today to report on the Tianfu businessman in Qingpu Town who was killed. Jackson and Li Yuehan privately passed on the heresy, so I kowtow to the county lord!" "Is there a complaint?" "Yes! Please take a look, my lord!"

"bring here!" A yamen servant took the complaint from Ruan Dacheng and handed it to Chen's parents.Old Chen's parents took a look, then pressed the petition under the inkstone, slapped the gavel, stared at each other, and shouted sharply: "When this county is promoted to handle the case, you dare to break into the court without permission. Today, the county will give you back your courage first, and then handle this case, and let you know what laws and regulations are!" With a bang, a torch fell off. "First charge me twenty sticks, press them outside the door and wait for trial!"

An old gatekeeper standing at the entrance of the main hall immediately conveyed the order of Chen's parents to use torture in a long voice. In the torture room, two strong men came up to the hall with sticks and pushed Ruan Dacheng to the ground at once. Fight step by step. Ruan Dacheng seemed to have expected that the beating would be inevitable, he neither struggled nor cried out during the beating, he just scolded Chen's old parents who were sitting in the hall in his heart. Old Chen's parents watched Ruan Dacheng being beaten, and they were very happy in their hearts. However, after beating all the way down, they didn't hear any sound—neither Ruan Dacheng's howling nor Ruan Dacheng's moaning, The happiness of old Chen's parents was mixed with some anger...

After the stick was finished, two yamen servants carried Ruan Dacheng to the door, and made Ruan Dacheng kneel with Lu Niupi, Zhong Deliang, and Xiaodou Sprout on the right side of the door.When Lu Niupi and Zhong Deliang saw Brother Ruan coming, they were greatly moved. While moving their knees to make room for Brother Ruan, they lowered their voices to greet Brother Ruan. The yamen servant beside him shouted, "Stop talking!" Lu Niupi and Zhong Deliang shook their bodies and dared not speak anymore. At this time, the old parents of Chen in the lobby had started to handle the case. Ruan Dacheng saw that an officer in the signing room ran to the hall with a red ticket, put on one knee, presented the red ticket in his hand, and reported loudly: "Qingpu Township Tianfu Company Kill Undead Jackson and Li Yuehan have reported the county rogues Lu Huatian, Zhong Deliang, Xiao Dexia and others for provoking quarrels and extortion.

Old Chen's parents pressed the red ticket under the inkstone as usual, waved their hands, and asked the guard to step down. Then, they yelled loudly: "Sign the deposit and submit the original indictment! Bring the plaintiffs, Jackson and John Li, to the court hearing!" With a call from the door, Jackson and John Lee both ran up to the hall, standing like tree stumps.The yamen servants shouted in unison: "Kneel down!" John Lee and Jackson both knelt down again. Old Chen's parents pondered over Jackson and John Li's complaint with their chins up. After pondering for a while, they coughed dryly, cleared their throats, and asked gloomily, "Are you the plaintiffs Zhan Bushi and John Li?"

"yes!" "yes!" "You used to have contacts with Lu Huatian, Zhong...oh, Zhong Deliang and others?" "No!" "No!" "Since you have never been in contact with each other, why do Lu Huayou and others have trouble with you? Why don't they bully others, but only bully you? There must be some hidden secrets in this, right?" Jackson hastily defended: "Mine, ours, indeed have nothing to do with Lu Huatian and the others! All of this is entirely theirs. They are the ones who provoked trouble. At first, it was Xiao Dexia, Mr. Xiao who came to provoke troubles, and then...then..." Old Chen's parents slapped the gavel and interrupted Jackson's words: "You mentioned that Xiao Dexia, then, this county would like to ask you, why did Xiao Dexia come to provoke you? Isn't it to take back his nephew? Why don't you allow it? Could it be that the child belongs to you? I really don’t understand the rules and etiquette of this court! Just for this one, you should be hit by dozens of slaps!” Li Yuehan refused to accept, raised his face and said: "What's the crime in adopting an abandoned child that no one cares about? Don't you also pay attention to benevolence and charity? Isn't it a sin to be kind? I, John Li, swear to the Almighty Lord that we adopt Qingpu abandoned children out of a kind of humanity." There is absolutely no other disagreement! But Xiao Dexia wants to sell his nephew to others..." Old Chen's parents were impatient.In fact, he already knew the details of the case clearly, and he was just going through the motions by asking questions like this. Old Chen's parents patted the gavel again: "Okay! Alright! Don't be too long-winded! The two of you and This county kneels aside, this county has its own reasons!" Old Chen's parents summoned Lu Niupi to court. As soon as Lu Niupi knelt down in front of Chen's parents' case, Chen's parents turned sideways, squinted their eyes, and smiled maliciously: "Lu Niupi, you don't have a good memory, you have a good memory! Huh? Last time After returning to the shackle for ten days, didn't shackle your stubborn nature at all! From this point of view, you are really an excellent piece of cowhide? Hey!" Lu Niupi hastily kowtowed: "Master! Master! I have been wronged! I have been wronged! This time I have been really wronged! I beg Master to make the decision!" The cold smiles on the faces of old Chen's parents disappeared, replaced by a solemn indifference: "Oh? You have been wronged, and someone dares to wrong you? This is really rare!" Lu Niupi kowtowed again like pounding garlic: "Master Rong Xiao's enlightenment..." Old Chen's parents grabbed a fire stick, looked at Lu Niupi like a cat playing with a mouse, and held up the fire stick again: "Don't rush to report, the county wants to have a longer memory with you before we can reason! " The fire sign will fall down. Along with the fire lottery fell down, old Chen's parents stopped drinking majesticly—— "Someone from the punishment room, and I will punish this piece of stinky cowhide thirty times!" Two big men with sticks ran into the hall again, knocked down Lu Niupi and beat him for thirty times, until Lu Niupi yelled "Dad" and "Mother" for a long time. It's fun.The highest enjoyment of Chen's parents is to listen to the howl of the criminal when he was hit with a stick.After beating Lu Niupi, Chen's parents didn't seem to have had enough, they dropped a stick and asked the torture room to beat Zhong Deliang, Xiao Douya and more than a dozen rascals twenty times. It was as if a battalion had been bombed inside and outside the hall, suddenly there was an earth-shattering sound, the servants beat hard, and the bullies screamed hard, Chen's parents naturally listened with great enjoyment.After hearing this, old Chen's parents narrowed their eyes and leaned on the back of the grand master's chair, shaking and shaking, a little ecstatic. After a long time of commotion, the howling and sticking gradually subsided, and old Chen's parents stopped shaking, slowly opened their eyes, and asked kindly, "Is the beating over?" The prison yamen reported: "If you go back to the master, there will be 20 people per person, and they have all been beaten!" Old Chen's parents nodded their heads and told all the government servants in the punishment room to retreat, and then carefully inspected the criminals kneeling together in the hall. At this time, the criminals shouted their grievances loudly as if they had been ordered by someone. "Well, is there really wronged? If there is really wronged, let's come together with the county one by one!" Lu Niupi took the lead in stating that Jie Maozi and Li Maozi openly opened a firm, spread a cult secretly, disturbed the hearts of the people, and harmed the locality. Old Chen's parents didn't believe it at all, he thought these two foreigners didn't have such guts!In the 20th year of Jiaqing, the foreign Mao Zilan Yuewang secretly preached a cult and was killed by the imperial court. The foreign Maozi all knew about it, and they never dared to make fun of their own heads.While listening to Lu Niupi's statement, old Chen's parents responsibly wondered whether they should reward Lu Niupi with dozens of boards? After Lu Niupi finished speaking, Zhong Deliang and Xiaodou Sprout said again, with the same meaning: These two foreign men spread a cult! Old Chen's parents began to scan Jackson and John Lee with those two gloomy eyes.Old Chen's parents didn't have a good impression of these two foreigners, and they really wanted to find an excuse to beat the two foreigners with sticks, so that the two foreigners could experience the majesty of the Qing government and make them grow up. Remember, don't come here for lawsuits over trivial matters. But looking for an excuse. The gavel slapped, and he shouted loudly: "You say that these two fanatics spread a cult, do you have any proof?" Lu Niupi said: "Yes! The evidence is with my brother Ruan - Ruan Dacheng! That's why Brother Ruan asked to see the elder!" "Let Ruan Dacheng go to court!" Ruan Dacheng was brought to the front of the hall. "Is it true that you reported these two people spreading the cult?" "it is true!" "What evidence do you have?" Ruan Dacheng said: "There is indeed evidence! The small ones have all been written on the complaint!" Only then did Chen's parents remember the complaint submitted by Ruan Dacheng, so they found it out, read it quickly, and asked again: "Did you see the cult artifact in John Li's room with your own eyes?" Ruan Dacheng said: "This is what Xiao Dexia saw with his own eyes! Xiao Dexia saw the cross of the cult and decided that it would be a disaster for his nephew to fall into the hands of foreigners, so he proposed to have his nephew back! Master Shengming must also know, The child is innocent, but if you teach a cult to that innocent child, the child will die forever!" Old Chen's parents nodded, approved Ruan Dacheng's analysis, and asked Xiao Dexia, "Did you see the cross of the cult?" Little Bean Sprout said: "See you, I've seen you a long time ago. That cross was hung in Li Maozi's room, and it was covered with a cloth during the day!" Old Chen's parents were happy, he finally found an excuse to beat the two foreigners. "I can't kill you, John Li, what do you have to say? Do you really have a cross in your house?" Li Yuehan said: "Yes! But this is only our belief, and it has nothing to do with anyone in Qingpu! Besides, we know that the imperial court of your country does not allow preaching, so we have never preached to anyone. This is the truth!" Jackson also said: "Yes, hanging the cross, doing your own prayers, and preaching are two different things. We have never preached!" Old Chen's parents were a little uncertain.Since there is no preaching, it is not easy to fight, but it is a little uncertain whether it is right to fight while hanging a cross and praying behind closed doors! Instead, he turned his anger on Ruan Dacheng: "Do you say that they preach, besides hanging the cross, do you have any other evidence?" Ruan Dacheng calmly said: "Also! These two foreigners preached the truth, and Mo Yide, the 'Baoji Church' in this town can testify! Mo Yide was deceived by these two foreigners. A cult! Right now, Mo Yide is waiting outside the hall!" When Chen's parents heard Ruan Dacheng's words so affirmatively, they believed them 80% and immediately shouted: "Certificate of passing on to Mo Yide!" In an instant, Mr. Mo Yide, the dry and thin shadow, was brought into the lobby.After he entered the lobby, he first smiled at Ruan Dacheng with shame, and then knelt down in front of the case in a proper manner. Old Chen's parents asked solemnly: "Are you Mo Yide from Qingpu 'Baojitang'?" "The villain is right!" "Qingpu Ruan Dacheng's denunciation of Zhan Bushi and Li Yuehan's private transmission of a cult is your testimony. What do you have to say?" "If you go back to the master, you don't know anything about the little... the little... the little one!" Hearing this, Ruan Dacheng's heart turned cold. He disregarded the rules in the hall and shouted, "Mr. Mo, didn't you agree to testify? Why did you go back on your word?" Old Chen's parents patted the gavel just in time: "Hugh interrupt!" Turning his face away, he asked Mo Yide again: "Have you ever met these two people?" Mr. Ying nodded again and again: "I know! I know! The younger one is Lao Jie, and the older one is Lao Li. They often come to me for medical treatment!" "Have they ever taught you a cult?" Mr. Ying said affirmatively: "No! No! How can there be such a thing! Lao Jie and Lao Li are both well-behaved people! They know that preaching is not allowed in this dynasty, so how dare they preach?" "Have you ever believed in a cult?" Mr. Ying looked fearful and fearful: "My lord is a good lesson! Even if you beat me to death, I wouldn't dare to believe in that cult! Besides, Lao Li and Lao Jie are well-behaved people, and they don't know how to preach to me at all!" This Mr. Shadow really deserves to be damned, he didn't pay attention to Chen's parents' intention to teach foreigners a lesson, and just blindly spoke good words to Jackson and John Li. Old Chen's parents were upset, and scolded sharply: "You bastard! They are full of nonsense, you say that Jie Maozi and Li Maozi are well-behaved, and the well-behaved people still hang crosses? Presumably you have got some benefits from these two foreign men. It’s just for them to cover up! It seems that if you don’t let you suffer some flesh and blood today, you will definitely not tell the truth! The punishment room is served by sticks!” After the words fell, several shirtless men rushed to the hall, threw the wet stick to Mr. Shadow's side, and roared in unison: "The punishment is here!" Mr. Ying's face turned pale with fright, and he hurriedly kowtowed to old Chen's parents, "Master! Master! You are telling the truth! You have never believed in a cult! You... " Where are Chen's parents willing to listen to this weak excuse?The chicken claw-like hand suddenly pointed at Mr. Shadow: "Slap his stinky mouth with me first!" A yamen servant immediately hugged Mr. Shadow from behind, making Mr. Shadow's body and arms unable to move; another yamen servant jumped in front of Mr. Shadow and slapped him in a hurry.In an instant, the entire lobby was filled with the sound of the collision of flesh and flesh. More than a dozen slaps came down, Mr. Ying's thin face suddenly turned red and plump, and blood beads flowed from the corners of his crooked mouth. After the beating, before Mr. Shadow could catch his breath, he kicked him to the ground again, and put a stick on his leg. With only a slight pressure on the stick, Mr. Shadow couldn't stand it any longer. With a mournful cry, he passed out on the ground. Old Chen's parents ordered the yamen servant to wake Mr. Ying up with cold water, and after waking up, they asked, "Is the punishment in this hall okay? Huh? Now, should you tell the truth?" Mr. Ying refused to give in, lying on the ground, and said weakly: "Everything you said just now is the truth! The little Mo Yide was a member of the Qing Dynasty and died as a ghost of the Qing Dynasty. He always pays attention to the word loyalty and filial piety the most. A character, a character of benevolence, a character of righteousness! The little one would rather go to death than believe in a cult! Please also learn from the master!" Chen's parents had no choice but to encounter such a smelly, hard and unflattering thing.Old Chen's parents had no choice but to believe that Mr. Ying was telling the truth.Then, if what Mr. Ying told the truth, then what Ruan Dacheng and Lu Niupi and his gang said was a lie! Immediately turned his target to Ruan Dacheng: "Ruan Dacheng, did you hear it with your own ears? The dry evidence you found cannot testify for you! You must have told lies and falsely accused others. Yes, what else do you have to say now?" Ruan Dacheng hated Mr. Ying so much, he never dreamed that Mr. Ying would change his mind in the face of the court!At this moment, he already understood that there was no hope of winning this lawsuit, and he had no choice but to risk his body and become an unyielding hero.He wants to let old Chen's parents, these two damned foreign men, and the brothers all over the house see clearly that he, Ruan Dacheng, is an upright man who is not afraid of death and will not accept softness!He lost the lawsuit, but he couldn't lose the style of the Hong family and the backbone of the Hong family! Therefore, he said proudly: "My lord, I really don't dare to make false accusations! It is true that Jackson and John Lee preached, and it is also true that Mo Yide believed in religion! Mo Yide must have hidden secrets when he changes his mind in court. If Mo Yide is executed again, he must finally be able to find out the truth!" Old Chen's parents gave a pat on the gavel: "Bold! When did this county let you sit in this lobby? Huh? From your tone of voice, this county would have guessed that you are not a serious person! When you first arrived in Qingpu, this county The county then earnestly told you that you should not bring the Nanyang mischievous style to this place. Fortunately, you not only made a scene in Qingpu, but also made a scene in the lobby. Today, the county should do it. Let me show you some colors, let you know some court rules and etiquette! Someone from the execution room, let me point out this stubborn guy!" Ruan Dacheng's heart trembled, and he secretly cried out!This is another unexpected thing.He originally hoped that the mediocre Mr. Chen would use his fingers to punish Mr. Ying, but he never thought that in the end, he would have experienced the pain of fingering!Ruan Dacheng knew how severe the punishment was. There was a daze in front of his eyes, and there was a sound of footsteps in his ears. Ruan Dacheng couldn't stand on his knees, and he couldn't help but lean to one side... Just at this moment, several execution room officials rushed up, two stood on both sides of his body, clamped him firmly, and the other two took his arm, and put a tool on his thick palm .He heard the "pop" sound from the impact of the stick, and saw two strands of hemp rope tied to the stick floating in front of his eyes like light smoke, and cold sweat rolled down his head and face involuntarily. The entire hall was eerily quiet, and everyone in the hall knew that the heart-piercing howls of the tortured were brewing in the suffocating silence. After the harness was put on, a tall and broad yamen servant began to tighten the rope. After a burst of "squeaks" and "sizzling" sounds, the howling that was bound to erupt did not erupt, and the man kneeling beside Ruan Dacheng Lu Niupi and Zhong Deliang saw their elder brother Ruan was sweating profusely, his teeth were clenched, and his face was distorted by the pain, but he refused to let out a single moan! Lu Niupi burst into his forehead with hot blood, and cried out: "Brother Ruan is a hero!" Old Chen's parents were enraged by this blatant contempt, and clapped the table and shouted: "Slap me! Slap this stinky dog's mouth with me!" After a while, Lu Niupi's mouth was full of red, and his cheeks were red, and the heroic brother Ruan also fell to the ground with a "plop"... Spray with cool water as usual. Ruan Dacheng was woken up by the cold well water.At this time, there was a moment of commotion in the solemn and gloomy hall, and some great figure entered the hall in a trance, and the old Chen's parents who were sitting on the grand master's chair came down to greet him.When the person walked past Ruan Dacheng, Ruan Dacheng didn't recognize it, until he turned around and sat down facing him, then Ruan Dacheng recognized: that person is Mr. Xiaolian from the Lu family! Master Xiaolian is here! This lawsuit shocked the respected and respected Master Xiaolian! However, at this time, Ruan Dacheng didn't dare to have any illusions about Mr. Xiaolian, he knew what Mr. Xiaolian was like, he knew that Mr. Xiaolian looked down on his nephew Lu Niupi, and he also looked down on Ruan Dacheng. I really didn't expect to see Master Xiaolian at such a time and on such an occasion! Master Xiaolian sat down firmly in front of the crowd, and slowly sipped a cup of tea in his hand, before Old Chen's parents continued to ask questions. "Say, tell me the truth! You accused Na Zhanbushi and Li Yuehan of preaching a cult are false words? Why did you do this slander! Who gave you any benefits?" Ruan Dacheng was extremely obstinate, and still said proudly: "Xiaomin will never dare to make false accusations. Zhan Bushi and Li Yuehan are foreign demons, and they have indeed spread a cult. The folk customs in my place have fallen to this point, and it is all because of these two foreigners. Xiaomin thinks that the master is the magistrate of Jinkou County, and he needs to make decisions for the people and eradicate the cult, so that people will be convinced, otherwise, Xiaomin will be beaten to death, and he will not accept it!" "If you don't accept it, hit it again!" Master Xiaolian frowned when he heard the scolding from old Chen's parents. Old Chen's parents said again: "You said that you can't die, John Li is preaching, but you can't produce any evidence, and you still keep saying that if you don't accept it, the county can't punish you..." Master Xiaolian coughed heavily. Old Chen's parents stopped talking, and stared fixedly at Master Xiaolian's face. Master Xiaolian spoke slowly: "My lord, how about I give a testimony for the nephew of the Ruan family?" Old Chen's parents were stunned, silent for a moment, then nodded and said: "Very good! Very good! Old Xiaolian just say something!" Master Xiaolian shook his loose sleeves, stood up from the chair calmly, and said loudly: "I have heard about the details of this case a few days ago. My nephew of the Lu family, Lu Huatian, is stubborn. It is known far and near that the old man is incapable of teaching and is ashamed of his hometown. Therefore, the old man has no intention of defending it. It is true that Li Yuehan ran amok. There are two evidences: one is to rob my youngest son; the other is to sell foreign medicine privately and poison the village. It is also true that Jackson beat my local citizen Xiao Dexia first, and Li Er, an employee of Nanbao Company, can testify. But Ruan Dacheng hates cults, and it is a righteous deed to come forward and sue the officials. It should be commended. It should be noted that Ruan Dacheng did not participate He was beaten with weapons, and he didn't ask for money from foreigners. He showed up this time without fear of risks, originally to maintain the local atmosphere, which is really admirable! The old man is willing to testify for Ruan Dacheng, proving that Jie Maozi and Li Maozi smuggled foreign medicine !" Master Xiaolian recklessly raised a new problem: the sale of foreign medicine by foreign men. However, Ruan Dacheng's complaint did not include this item. Old Chen's parents were a little embarrassed. Ruan Dacheng is a clever character. Seeing Master Xiaolian speaking for him in person, he knew that the situation had changed fundamentally, so he lied recklessly: "Master, the foreign-maozi illicitly sold foreign medicines." , It is also written in the small complaint, please read it carefully, the private sale of foreign medicine is written on the back of the complaint!" Old Chen's parents pretended to read the petition again, and they seemed to see a lot of words on the back of the petition, so they coughed twice and said: "I don't understand the rules, and the messy words are written on the back of the petition. Master Xiaolian reminds me that some people are really going to be wronged! Just for such unruly complaints against you, you will not be wronged even once, and you will kneel aside with me and wait to be dealt with!" This time, old Chen's parents finally found a reason to teach the two foreigners a lesson. They slapped the gavel and shouted loudly: "Zhan Bushi, Li Yuehan, Ruan Dacheng sued you for privately selling foreign medicines, but it's the truth!" John Lee and Jackson unanimously refused to admit it. Master Xiaolian suggested passing on the dry certificate to Li Er. Old Chen's parents agreed. Immediately pass the dry certificate to Li Er and go to court.Then Li Er showed a pack of foreign medicines in court, and clearly pointed out that it was Jackson who sold the foreign medicines privately. Jackson was dumbfounded and had nothing to say. Old Chen's parents were overjoyed, and dropped a stick of fire, causing the execution room guards to strike Jackson forty times with a cane, and immediately started beating him, until Jackson screamed and lost his soul. After beating Jackson, he also said that John Li had been deceived by the government because he knew about it but did not act. He also dropped a fire stick and hit him twenty times. A messy lawsuit with a lot of clues came here, only to see the resolution. Old Chen's parents were extremely wise, and under the watchful eyes of Master Xiaolian, they said in court: "Qingpu's stubborn Lu Huatian, Zhong Deliang, and Xiao Dexia. Twelve people gathered to fight and defraud people of money. The circumstances are true and should be dealt with strictly according to the law. However, they thought there was a reason for the incident, and they were flogged. If it is false, it should be dealt with severely according to the law, but it is the first crime and it will be severely punished, so it will not be prosecuted. The county is merciful and will give silver ten taels to recuperate! Fanren can't be killed to sell foreign medicine, and he has been flogged I will not be prosecuted any longer; the fan Li Yuehan knew that he did not act, he has been flogged and will not be prosecuted..." Old Chen's parents believed that his verdict was extremely satisfactory, and the basis for it was that all the people involved in this case had experienced the pain of flesh and blood, and they all experienced the majesty of the government.However, old Chen's parents are kind people with a dark face and a soft heart, and it's fine if they beat them, and their punishment is always very light—at least he thinks so. Those two foreign men who had been beaten were extremely ignorant, and they regarded the kindness of old Chen's parents as weakness and deceit, and asked a very inappropriate question: "Mine, our two hundred and seventy-three taels When will the silver be returned to us!" Old Chen's parents got angry seriously, slapped the gavel, stood upright, and said solemnly: "You still dare to mention money? That money is black money from private sales of foreign medicine, and it is already cheap to enter the government." I'm sorry for you! Next time you dare to sell foreign medicine again, the county will punish you severely. I want to see how tough your foreign heads are, whether you can kill them or not! Get out!" There was another loud bang of "snap". With this loud noise, the sound was finalized, and a thrilling lawsuit came to an end.Just at this time, the rain that had been lingering in the low sky for a long time was about to fall, and the "crash" and "crash" were very sensual.Jie Maozi, Li Maozi and Mr. Shadow were driven out of the gate by the yamen servants like three poor dogs, and disappeared into the rain with a limp.But the hero Ruan Dacheng, brother Ruan, was surrounded by many brothers surnamed Hong, and walked away in the heavy rain. Brother Ruan didn't receive the ten taels of compensation for the wounded, and he didn't say goodbye to the venerable Master Xiaolian—but Master Xiaolian was looking at him!Master Xiaolian's gaze sent his sedan chair far, far away...
