Chapter 456 Capturing Zou Xiancheng
"Okay, okay, stop talking. It's been more than 20 years ago, and you still remember." County Magistrate Xu was convinced by Master Tian, and pulled him up and said: "Shengtangshengtang, I will be here now Lets go to Shengtang.
If he doesn't go to the court, Master Tian will probably cut off his robe and sever ties with him.
besides
"What are you swearing? Those are drunk words we say when we are drunk." Magistrate Xu corrected him dissatisfied.
Master Tian: "This is called telling the truth after drinking."
Xu County Magistrate:
Jiang Xianwei knocked on the door at this time and said: "Your Excellency, County Magistrate, I have something important to report for my humble position."
Come in. County Magistrate Xu straightened his clothes and said.
County Lieutenant Jiang opened the door and came in and told Magistrate Xu what happened in the courtroom: "The Zou family nurse has been imprisoned. Zou Jiang and Master Shao are still in the courtroom. They both insist on one thing. One said they are not slaves." I firmly believe that Zou Jiang is a slave of the Zou family and ask the county magistrate to bring him to court."
What else could Magistrate Xu say? He could only take Master Tian, call Master Yu and a few followers, and the group went to the court.
Snapped!
As soon as the alarm bell sounded, Magistrate Xu asked: "Who is here? What are you telling me?"
"Your Excellency, the Shao family has come to capture their slave Zou Jiang." Master Shao took the lead and pointed at Zou Jiang and said: "Zou Jiang has been suffering from chronic illnesses for many years, and because of the tragedy at home when he was young, he has often talked crazy recently, and today it is even more so. He came to the county government office privately and disturbed the peace of the county magistrate. It is really the fault of the Zou family, so Shao will take this crazy slave away immediately."
Master Shao is a smart man. He said that Zou Jiang was crazy as soon as he opened his mouth. He killed two birds with one stone and made Zou Jiang's lawsuit against Zou Xiancheng seem crazy.
Zou Jiang smiled, knelt down in the hall, bowed to the county magistrate, and said to Master Shao: "Shao, before you slander me, you must have evidence. I am hysterical? I was still in charge of Zou Mansion yesterday. General affairs, Master Shao also lives in Zou Mansion, are you all being managed by a lunatic like me? Its really ridiculous.
Master Shao was overjoyed and hurriedly pointed at Zou Jiang and said: "Sir, Zou Jiang has personally admitted that he works in the Zou Mansion. He is a slave of the Zou Mansion. Please let Shao take Zou Jiang back to the Zou family!"
Only those who survive the threat of death can sue the imperial magistrate. Zou Jiang was seriously injured back then and was old. Once he was tortured, he would probably die in court on the spot.
Since Zou Jiang dared to sue Zou County Magistrate, he had already put his own death aside. He kowtowed heavily to County Magistrate Xu: "The common people are willing to accept the threat of death."
As soon as these words came out, not only Master Shao, but also everyone present was shocked.
County Magistrate Xu looked at Zou Jiang with admiration and asked: "Jiang Sheng, the punishment of killing a person can kill people. You have to think clearly. Once the execution is carried out, you will not regret taking the medicine."
Zou Jiang gave Magistrate Xu another hard knock and said in a sonorous voice: "As long as Zou Youlian can be brought to justice, Jiang Sheng will die without regrets."
What a man who will die without regrets! Jiang Sheng, you are worthy of being a well-educated person. Tian admires you.
I admire you so much, please calm down.
County Magistrate Xu had a headache, why did his staff member and classmate friend get back to life more and more, he was no longer a young boy, and he was still so impulsive. In court, as the county magistrate, is this what he can say?
With a snap, Magistrate Xu said: "Execution!"
Team leader Yang immediately came forward with his yamen servants, pressed Zou Jiang on the bench, and beat Zou Jiang twenty times with a stick covered with iron sheets. Although he was merciful, Zou Jiang was still beaten to pieces.
This is not over yet. After being slapped twenty times, he will be slapped twenty more times. After every two slaps, he will ask Zou Jiang: "Jiang Sheng, do you want to sue Zou Youlian?"
Zou Jiang would always reply: "Jiang Sheng, a grassroots citizen, wants to sue Zou Youlian for corruption and perverting the law..."
The people outside were watching the excitement at first. It was obvious that even though Zou Jiang was almost beaten to death, he was still talking about suing Zou Xiancheng. Everyone became quiet.
Master Shao felt chills all over when he saw Zou Jiang wanting to sue Zou Xiancheng even if he died. He was already thinking about what he should do to avoid being implicated by Zou Xiancheng.
With one breath, Zou Jiang endured the murderous torture and presented all the written pleadings and various evidences.
Zou Jiang had many cloth bags hanging on his waist. These cloth bags contained various documents, letters, rosters, and account books, all of which were evidence that Zou County Cheng was corrupt, perverting the law, and seeking money and life.
These evidences were enough for Magistrate Xu to order the arrest of Zou County Cheng.
