Chapter 399 Confrontation in the lobby

In the lobby, Zhang Biejia made the governor's fault without any hesitation, which made the officials below stand up so excited that they wanted to bring a lounge chair, a pot of tea, and a whole plate of melon seeds. Two girls came next to them, one slap the legs and the other squeezed their legs, and watched the show happily.

Zhang Wenjin was determined. He had already broken up with Jiang Anyi in the matter of trafficking in children in Washington. In the appointment of deputy chief of the border city, Jiang Anyi broke the rules in the officialdom and ate alone, which annoyed Zhang Wenjin. In the officialdom, everyone was carrying flowers and sedan chairs, hello, I'm good, everyone, especially in the appointment of officials, the governor and the other party wanted to divide the cakes.

However, Zhang Wenjin had his confidence. He was from the fifth rank, and Jiang Anyi was the temporary governor of the fifth rank, and the two were not different in terms of official rank. In addition, when he was the governor, he was assassinated by the Yuantian Sect, Zhang Wenjin temporarily took over the position of governor as a different rank, and Huazhou was a resident state. He had just experienced the war, so Zhang Wenjin thought that no one was willing to come here to serve as governor, so he naturally promoted himself.

Officials of the government office also realized this and came to the door to handle the matter in order to renew their posts. As the saying goes, once the emperor is the emperor and the ministers, the new governor will most likely re-appoint and remove officials. Zhang Biejia is an old person. If he is promoted, it is easy for acquaintances to do things, so everyone will not have to worry about losing their position.

As a result, Jiang Anyi fell from the sky and broke the dream of everyone. It was impossible to return the money after spending money. The officials in the government office had to suffer a loss. However, Zhang Wenjin served as an official in Huazhou for several years, and his connections were far better than those in the new Jiang Anyi. Zhang Wenjin and officials of the yamen were willing to pick up the group and fight against the new governor, so Jiang's governor was difficult to implement. Zhang Wenjin was confident that once Jiang Anyi stalemate, most officials would stand on his side.

If it were a few years ago, Jiang Anyi would have fought back without mercy and then a death-death battle. After years of hardship, Jiang Anyi knew that being tough would be easy to break, and detour was also a tactic. Facing Zhang Wenjin's provocative gaze, Jiang Anyi smiled and said, "Mr. Zhang is indeed familiar with the "Da Zheng Lu". This official is Meng Lang, so he will follow Lord Zhang's words, come."

With the sound of "coming", there was a slight sound from below. I thought it was a fierce battle, but I didn't expect that the governor admitted the loss so easily, and there was a little more contempt in everyone's eyes. These days, Governor Jiang received a lot of secret anger, but he didn't see him. Today, Zhang Biejia slapped him in the face directly in the lobby. Governor Jiang took the initiative to give in. It seemed that it was right to follow Lord Biejia's choice. Many officials thought that if there was a time when he didn't go to Biejia's home, should he go?

The yamen runners in the standing squad beat the water and fire sticks in their hands and shouted in unison: "Serve the master." Waiting for Jiang Anyi to issue an order, they were about to pull down the old man who complained and beat him to the thirty-year-old board.

Old Man Tian was so scared that he was weak by the shouting. His body, which was originally kneeling, tilted and collapsed to the ground. Although he was prepared when he came, he really didn't know if he could withstand the thirty-pin hit him. He was afraid that he would faint at that time and could not tell his grievances to the governor.

After shouting "Comeone", Jiang Anyi paused and said to Zhang Biejia with a kind look: "Master Zhang, you are familiar with the "Da Zheng Law", but do the three stipulated in the law that do not fight?"

Zhang Wenjin was stunned, and his thoughts were heard. It seemed that Jiang Anyi was preparing to make an article on the "three no fights". The "three no fights" in the law were stipulated by Taizu, which means that a teenager under the age of fourteen would not beat him, an old man over sixty would not beat him, and a weak and sickly person would not beat him. The old man in front of him said just now that he was only fifty-eight years old and could not be beat him.

With his right hand combed his beard, Zhang Wenjin said the "three no fights" in a lesson tone. Jiang Anyi smiled and said, "So that's it. I see that the old man is skinny and trembling all over, and he can't even kneel. Eighty-mostly he is weak and sick. Old man, let me ask you, can you stand the thirty-six boards?"

As soon as these words were said, Zhang Wenjin's nose was almost pissed. There was a question like this, it was obvious that he didn't want to hit the old man. When Old Man Tian heard the words of the governor, he knew that the governor was pitying him. He plucked up his head and looked at Jiang Anyi quickly. After the case, there was a young man with a whisker with a slightly black complexion, unlike the white-faced black-bearded official sitting next to him.

He bent down and the old man Tian said sarcastically: "The little old man is weak, often has headaches and gasps, and his hands and legs are numb..."

Before Old Man Tian finished speaking, Zhang Wenjin shouted in anger: "Nothing is said, you can complain from Wuyun County to Huiye Mansion, it is obvious that you are strong. If you want to talk nonsense, you will be punished first for deceiving."

Old Man Tian was so scared that he didn't dare to say anything.

Jiang Anyi said calmly: "Mr. Zhang, what do you mean? Do you still take this official seriously intimidate the plaintiff in the lobby?"

Zhang Wenjin's face twitched twice and said with a smirk: "I dare not, I am just trying to argue with reason, so as not to be fooled by the unruly people and it is difficult to be clear."

"It turns out that Lord Zhang has a good intention," Jiang Anyi sneered on his face and said, "Since Lord Zhang believes that this old man is strong and strong, these thirty pillars cannot be avoided."

The gossip that everyone mentioned was immediately sunk to the bottom by Jiang Anyi's words. It seems that the governor Jiang intended to show Zhang Bie, but poor that the old man became a victim.

"However, the law is nothing more than human favors. Old Man Tian is nearly 60 years old. Let's do it, and you can beat the three major boards by one, and you can beat the three major boards by one." Zhang Wenjin was about to refute, but Jiang Anyi shouted: "You won't drag the old man down and blame the three major boards."

The yamen runners stepped forward to pull up the old man Tian. Zhang Wenjin showed with his eyes that the three big boards would also be hit hard, which made the old man's bones break and his tendons break, and finally died. The yamen runners understood and put up the old man Tian like a wolve and were about to execute him.

Jiang Anyi's words came again, "I think this old man is weak and sick, but Zhang Biejia disagrees with him. Lord Zhang is a senior, and I have always respected him. However, you should pay attention when hitting the board. If the old man is really weak and unable to stand up after hitting the board or causes a disease to break out, then Lord Zhang has violated the "three no-fighting" rule set by Taizu back then. Like Lord Zhang, I am also a person who is law-abiding. The prince violates the law and the common people, so he has to punish Lord Zhang according to the law. You guys who hit the board should have some responsibility, so you are careful with me."

The words full of pressure fell into the ears of the yamen runners. The yamen runners looked at Zhang Biejia with bitter faces. The two fights together. Lord Zhang, please say something. What can Zhang Wenjin say? Jiang Anyi used the law to be tightly held. What law is nothing more than human favors. One to ten, and he still holds up the "three no fights". If you have a problem or your own fault, it is your own fault. It is your reason. You might as well not fight.

Zhang Wenjin rolled his eyes in anger. He accidentally used too much force on his hands and pulled off two of the beards on his jaw. He felt very heartbroken, and he didn't care about the resentful eyes of the yamen runners.

The yamen runners are all clever people, and the heroes do not suffer any loss in front of them. The governor clearly doesn't want to hit this old man. We can't afford to offend Zhang Biejia, and they dare not offend Jiang. Since the governor said, his fluttering three-board hit the old man Tian's butt, and the dust on his clothes did not rise.

Old Man Tian was puzzled. When he was in the county town, he had seen the board where the county master beat people. There was a purple mark when the stick came down. Why did he slap dust on him like his wife? He knelt in front of the hall again, and Jiang Anyi asked, "Who is kneeling down? What's wrong with him? Let's tell the truth."

He met Master Qingtian. Old Man Tian made honey fruits for Mr. Sun's house in Wuyun County. For some reason, the honey fruits rotted. Mr. Sun detained everyone who worked and asked each person to compensate him for five taels of silver, otherwise he would have to sell him to pay the debt.

"... The old man's family is poor. He can't afford to pay ten taels of money except selling the land. If he sells the land, he will starve to death next year." When he talked about the sadness, the old man Tian burst into tears and cried.

Zhang Wenjin listened to Old Man Tian’s statement and thoughts in his mind. He knew what Old Man Tian said, Sun Fucheng, Mr. Sun. When he arrived in Wuyun County, Bai Zhiguang invited him to eat flower wine, and this Mr. Sun accompanied him. I remember that Mr. Sun also bought a gift of 200 taels of silver to him.

This Sun Yuanwai is in-laws with the Liu family of Zhao He. The Liu family is among the top ten aristocratic families. Although Liu Xinming retired from the position of Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, Liu Xinming mobilized a large amount of money when the Beimo was about to invade, stabilizing the border situation. The emperor thought of his benefits and did not make things difficult for him. Instead, he gave him gold to return. Although the Liu family was not as authoritative as before, he still lived in the middle of the top ten aristocratic families. Sun Yuanwai was naturally as stable as Mount Tai.

While thinking about his thoughts, Zhang Wenjin secretly looked at Jiang Anyi's face. The face of the governor was so gloomy that water dripped out. He had heard of Jiang Anyi's life experience. I think this Lord Jiang remembered the situation when he was forced to pay debts back then. Needless to ask, he would definitely help this old man Tian.

Zhang Wenjin calculated that what kind of Western Regions trade permit certificates Jiang Anyi had in Huazhou had already made the officials and gentry in Hezhou complain. If he could think of another way to make him collide with the Liu family, he could mobilize officials and gentry to petition the court together. Maybe he could get rid of Jiang Anyi's position as governor. Even if he couldn't take the position of governor, it would be better to change to Jiang Anyi.

After Old Man Tian finished speaking, Jiang Anyi asked Old Man Tian carefully about the process of making honey fruits by his two daughters-in-law. Everyone in Manhuazhou knew about this recipe, and even the Hu people in the businessmen knew about it. Old Man Tian had asked his daughter-in-law, so he naturally knew about it.

Listening to Old Man Tian’s narration, Jiang Anyi also asked the details from time to time. He did follow the prescription step by step, but one step was missing, and no honey was added. Jiang Anyi patted the case and scolded: "I told them to act according to the prescription in the beginning. Who told them to change the prescription without authorization, and to commit suicide and want to accuse a good person. It is really hateful."

"Wen Qi." Wen Qi, a Huazhou official, joined the army.

An official in green uniform stood up from the crowd of people who were hearing the trial and bowed and said, "The emperor has met the adults."

"Wen Qi, tomorrow you will take Old Man Tian to Wuyun County to find out the reason, and ask Sun Fucheng to release him and deal with it as appropriate."

"Yes." Wen Qi replied with a smile. Such an errand is to give him money, and Sun Fu will inevitably suffer a heavy bleeding when he finishes the matter.
