Time passed day by day, and finally on September 18, Fatty Tang came to pick Zhao Hao down the mountain.
It was already late autumn, and it was even more chilly in the mountains. Zhao Hao wore a brocade cloak.
"I heard that Li Jiutian's ass is about to be spread open." On the luxurious carriage, Fatty Tang said with some schadenfreude: "It seems that the young master has taught him a deep enough lesson. Even though he is like this, he still doesn't dare to go up the mountain to find the young master."
"Stop talking about him." Zhao Hao glanced at Tang Youde and said, "Aren't you okay too?"
"Don't look at me like this, Old Tang, but I am a dignified eighth-grade Xielu Lang!" Tang Youde smiled proudly, patted the black horn belt wrapped around his waist, and said with a smile: "Although this donation class is usually useless, I want to catch him I have to ask the Southern Civil Service Department to fire me from my official position first, but they may not agree to it yet."
"I see." Zhao Hao made a contemptuous gesture and said, "I thought you were sincerely fighting against Japan by donating money."
"Of course we sincerely resist the Japanese!" Tang Youde smiled slyly: "Of course, if we can bring some benefits along the way, this will naturally be more sincere."
Zhao Hao teased him and said to the two apprentices: "Today is the day when the results will be released. Don't follow me to the county government later."
"Looking at the list is not as important as Master!" The two of them said in unison, shaking their heads and saying, "Besides, isn't there someone watching over there? They will report the news as soon as the list is released."
"That's fine." Zhao Hao nodded and did not stop him.
"Ah, the young master is really going to the county government office?" Tang Youde heard this and couldn't help but worry for Zhao Hao: "I heard that Zhang Zhixian was angry with you for being so negligent, and had already prepared a full set of things to prepare for your arrival. I¡¯ll give you a killing stick first!¡±
"Hmm" Zhao Hao sneered contemptuously, caressing the cloak on his body and said, "Let him dream."
"Young master, please tell me what a clever plan you have?" Tang Youde asked, scratching his head and scratching his head: "At this time, please stop hiding it."
"You can just wait and watch the show." Zhao Hao made up his mind and kept it secret.
??~~
At three o'clock in the morning, the carriage stopped at Yaqian Street.
Wang Wuyang straightened Zhao Hao's cloak, Hua Shuyang arranged the brocade pier and helped the teacher get out of the carriage.
Zhao Hao happened to see Liu Yuanwai, whose eyes were spitting fire.
For today¡¯s court appearance, Liu Yuanwai specially put on his righteous official crown and came to the county government office early in the morning. He happened to see Zhao Hao being shouted out of the carriage.
By now, Yuan Liu still couldn't see clearly that this young thief was clearly the real mastermind. And that Fatty Tang who used his shoulders as an armrest was just an errand boy!
"Little thief, I want you to look good today!" The so-called enemy was extremely jealous when they met. Liu Yuanwai glared at Zhao Hao, wishing he could eat him alive.
"Oh, Yuan Liu is so angry." Zhao Hao didn't take it seriously and asked with a smile: "Could it be that the price of silk has dropped again"
"Pfft" Liu Yuanwai's vision went dark, and he almost spurted out a mouthful of blood. If it weren't for the support of the attendant beside him, he would have fallen headlong to the ground.
"Isn't that right? It's just in time for the great autumn silkworm harvest." The praising Fatty Tang was still rubbing salt on Liu Yuanwai's wounds. "When the market closed yesterday, it had already fallen to one tael of silver and one pound of silk. I'm afraid I won't be able to hold on to one tael today"
"Ouch, did it fall so badly?" Zhao Hao asked sympathetically: "I wonder how much Yuan Liu sold the hundreds of thousands of kilograms of silk?"
"I must have sold a lot, otherwise you wouldn't have thought to litigate with us." Tang Youde said with a smile.
"I'll fight with you!" Liu Yuanwai was shouted at by the two of them, his face was livid, and he was about to pounce on him with all his teeth and claws.
He has lost nearly two hundred thousand taels of silver this time. If he hadn't transferred his hatred to these two people, he would have gone crazy.
Gao Wu and several fierce and strong men were ready to stand in front of Zhao Hao.
"This is the gate of the county government office. Do you want to act wild?" Zhao Shouzheng also walked out from behind the screen wall accompanied by Fan Datong. He looked at Liu Yuanwai coldly and said: "You are not a prince even if you wear a yellow robe, you are a dog meat dumpling who cannot get a seat on the table!"
"You, you" Liu Yuanwai was immediately stabbed in the painful spot, but seeing those black men who looked like iron towers, how could he dare to step forward again. That's the bad thing about being an official. Everywhere he goes, he looks like a dwarf. He even dares to laugh at a poor prison student.
Not only him, but also Fatty Tang next to Zhao Hao, his smile was choked, he was obviously accidentally injured.
"Relax, my father didn't say anything about you, he just habitually makes fun of you." Zhao Hao hurriedly patted Tang Youde on the shoulder to express comfort.
At this time, I heard Liu Yuanwai retort:"You're a good-for-nothing second generation ancestor. You gave birth to a scoundrel and a liar. Not getting married to you was my most correct decision."
Zhao Shouzheng was furious when he heard this. He also pointed at Liu Yuanwai and cursed: "Who do you think is a scoundrel and liar? Your whole family is a scoundrel and liar! Your shabby daughter almost became my daughter-in-law. I'm afraid just thinking about it"
Zhao Hao couldn't stand it anymore, so he stepped forward and pulled Zhao Shouzheng over and asked, "Didn't you ask father to wait at home?"
"That's what you're saying, you're here to go to court, can I sit still at home?" Zhao Shouzheng winked at Zhao Hao, pointed behind him and said, "Not only can I not sit still, everyone from Caijia Lane is here. "
Zhao Hao followed what he pointed at and couldn't help but gasped. Good guy, I saw Gao Tiejian, Yu Jia Chang, Shopkeeper Fang, Qiao Qiao Mama, Wu Yu and his wife, the delicious cooks and guys, men, women and children from Caijia Lane, all crowded at the entrance of the county government office.
Even Qiaoqiao and Ma Xianglan were in the crowd, looking at him with concern.
Is this an all-out attack?
"Everyone stopped working?" Zhao Hao was touched and funny at the same time.
"No matter what happens, I still don't know your prestige in the hearts of everyone in Caijiaxiang." Zhao Shouzheng laughed softly: "Everyone is here to cheer you up. If the county magistrate's referee is unfair, everyone will make noise together and challenge the county Master puts pressure on me.¡±
This is the basic configuration and inherent routine of famous Jin gentry when they go to court. Unexpectedly, Zhao Hao has only been enjoying this kind of treatment after hanging out in Caijiaxiang for half a year.
Seeing that there were so many people around Zhao Hao, Liu Yuanwai didn't dare to talk nonsense anymore, so he hurried in first and complained to the elder.
Zhao Hao gratefully bowed his hands to all the neighbors, and then walked into the Yamen with high spirits, ready to fight with Tang Youde.
Li Jiutian limped and stood guard at the door. Seeing Zhao Hao come in, he said with relief: "The little ancestor is here. If we wait for two more days, he will be beaten to death in nine days."
"Thank you for your hard work." Zhao Hao smiled and thanked him.
"Let's not talk about anything else for now," Li Jiutian whispered in his ear: "Young master, you have to calm down your temper later. Our eldest master has been left in the dark by you for so many days. He is so angry that he has even arranged everything." Come on we heroes will not suffer the immediate consequences."
"Thank you Jiutian." Zhao Hao nodded, not sure if he had listened to Li Jiutian's advice, so he walked towards the lobby under the leadership of the yamen servant.
Normally, this kind of civil dispute is usually heard in the second hall, and there is no need to hold a serious inquiry in the main hall. However, when Zhang Zhixian collects money to perform services, the plaintiff must feel that the money spent is worth the money. And more importantly, he had to kill the defendant's dignity so that the people of Shangyuan County could see what would happen if they dared to despise the government and the county magistrate!
Since we are killing a chicken to show the monkey, we naturally have to let the monkey in. Therefore, the people are allowed to watch today's trial. Li Jiutian led people to set up a fence outside the lobby, and ordered the people who flocked in to watch outside the fence.
"Don't cross this white line!"
But today there were so many onlookers that they almost overturned the fence, so the guards had to shout to maintain order. It was a mess outside the lobby, like a market.
How can Wu Kangyuan, Zhao Shouzheng, and Eryang, who are famous and famous, be crowded with the common people? Naturally, he was placed in the white line and stood in the hall to watch.
In the lobby at the moment.
Zhang Zhixian was wearing court clothes and sitting behind a koan with a large seal, a sign tube and a gavel. Behind him was a picture of the rising sun on the sea water, which means "clear as sea water, bright as the morning sun", and a plaque with "a bright mirror hanging high" hanging above his head. , three classes of yamen servants lined up neatly in the hall.
When the plaintiff and defendants arrived, Zhang Zhixian, with a dark face, slapped the crowd hard and shouted:
"Ascend to the throne!"
"Mightwu"
The government officials shouted "Tangwei" in unison, and beat the water and fire sticks on the ground rhythmically, making a creepy knocking sound.
If it were normal, everyone in the hall would be so frightened that they would kneel down when they heard this terrifying authority.
But today, both the plaintiff and the defendant were standing there, showing no intention of bending their knees.
"Who is this person in the hall? Why don't you kneel before an official?" The defendant's official on duty shouted loudly.
"Liu Zhengqi, the candidate for the lower official position, has met his old parents." He saw Liu Yuanwai arching his hands in the hall.
"Tang Youde, the candidate for the lower post of Xielu Lang, pays homage to his parents." Tang Youde also bowed to Zhang Zhixian.
Everyone in the hall looked at Zhao Hao and thought to themselves, you are a stupid kid, you will no longer have an official position, right? Still want to muddle through?
However, Zhao Hao was still calm and composed, with no intention of kneeling.
"This animal has been repeatedly missed. He is contemptuous of the court. Let's beat him twenty times with a powerful stick first!" Zhang Zhixian picked up the fire stick and was about to throw it down.
However, Zhao Hao smiled faintly and took off his cloak, revealing a brand new black silk round collar robe.
Then he bowed to Zhang Zhixian.
