Chapter 15 Twists and turns
Jiang Anyi was a little nervous, and could see that the county magistrate had a bad impression of him. Thinking of his younger brother who was in prison, Jiang Anyi encouraged him and raised his eyebrows and said, "I'm accusing Jiang Chen of my brother Jiang Anyong. My brother is thirteen years old and is a simple young man in the countryside. He has never had any evil words to deceive the public. Please be aware of my brother and make the decision to avenge my brother."
Chen Shide frowned. Yesterday, Hou Qi reported that someone from Pingshan Town reported that a villager Jiang Anyong was a mountain god showing his spirit to confuse the people. It happened that the prefecture issued a document to prohibit all localities from verbal words to prevent anyone from causing trouble. He did not think much about it and ordered Jiang Anyong to be arrested. Regardless of whether it is true or false, there will be investments in lawsuits. He thought he was just an ordinary villager, but he didn't expect that his brother was a scholar, which seemed to be a trouble.
After thinking with a gloomy face for a moment, Chen Shide felt that Jiang Anyi was not old and should not be familiar with the law of Dazheng. He said in a deep voice: "Whether to falsely accuse me, my county will find out that you are arrogant and arrogant at a young age and are clamoring for the wrongdoing. I think you are the first offense, and I will not pursue it and will not retreat."
Jiang Anyi read the Zheng Lu and learned that the crime was reduced by one level under the age of fourteen and could not be imprisoned before being convicted. County Magistrate Chen had a mistake first, so he responded confidently: "Sir, according to your words, my brother's guilt has not been determined. According to Zheng Lu, my brother cannot be imprisoned before being convicted before being convicted. Please investigate clearly."
Chen Shide secretly complained that this scholar was young and knew the law well. According to the provisions of the Dazheng Law, the county magistrate used the law incorrectly, and the fine was severe, and the official was thrown away or even went to jail. He didn't know many ordinary people, so he would not know the law. So the county magistrate said whatever the county magistrate said. He thought that the Jiang family was just an ordinary family and didn't care when arresting people. Unexpectedly, things became tricky.
However, in the officialdom, the superiors have always had the wrong subordinates to blame him. Chen Shide glanced left and right and said in a false anger: "Hou Qi, why did you catch a boy under the age of fourteen? Do you know your mistake?"
Among the yamen runners on the left side of Hou Qi, when he heard that the county magistrate was angry, he had to come out with a bitter face and admit his mistake: "I deserve to die. Seeing that Jiang Anyong was tall and failed to investigate for a moment, he thought he was over fourteen years old."
When Jiang Anyi saw Hou Qi, he immediately understood. He remembered the resentful eyes that day. He was bitten by the snake even if he could not die. It was obvious that these two people were accused of embarrassing revenge at the market, which caused An Yong to suffer.
Thinking of this, Jiang Anyi sneered and said, "My teacher, Yu Zhijieyu, once said that this person is a devil who bullies others by virtue. Please don't be deceived by him."
Lord Yu Zhijie Yu, Jiang Anyi's words are very informative. Chen Shide's head buzzed and quickly thought: Family teacher, Jiang Anyi is Yu Zhijie's student? Why haven't I heard that Lord Yu accepted students in Xinqi County? Since Jiang Anyi said that, this must be true. If Jiang Anyi was a student of Yu Zhijie, this lawsuit would have to be biased towards him. Lord Yu said that Hou Qi was a devilish official who bullied others with power. Why didn't he know what Hou Qi did bad things that Hou Qi did and bumped into Lord Yu? Why didn't he know? He bullied others with power and who was power? Lord Yu wouldn't mean me? No wonder he was turned away several times when he came to the door to see him. Could it be because of the bad things that Hou Qi was a kid. Although the county magistrate was not as good as the county manager, Lord Yu was not a direct boss, but Lord Yu said casually and his future would be dangerous.
In a short moment, Chen Shide's head turned countless thoughts, his face calmed down, and he asked softly: "Jiang Anyi, where do you start with this?"
Jiang Anyi sold bamboo at the market. Hou Qimaba was a crime. Lord Yu angrily rebuked the two of them and asked them to go back to take the fight. Hou Qi looked like a slut, but Jiang Anyi shook the matter in front of the county magistrate. He knew that Chen County Magistrate's virtue of bullying the superiors and betrayed the subordinates, so he would probably not be able to escape this beating.
Sure enough, Chen Shide was furious and scolded: "Damn dogs, you are doing something wrong on me, but let me take the blame, even making Lord Yu misunderstand me. It's really annoying. Come on, let's pull these two dogs down and blame them for twenty times."
The sound of the board was mixed with screams. Jiang Anyi felt relieved in his heart. He knew that these two people would not give up, but he did not intend to spare them easily.
In the court, Chen Shide said seriously: "Jiang Anyi, the county has failed to observe for a while, and many misunderstandings arise. Please tell Lord Yu about the situation and don't let Mr. Yu misunderstand me."
"Sir, the mirror is hanging high, and the young student must report it to Master Yu," Jiang Anyi bowed and said, "Sir, my mother is worried about my brother. She is ill in bed. My brother is young, and the young student is willing to go to jail on behalf of her. I also ask the adults to be able to promptly investigate the case and restore my brother's innocence."
"Be kind and filial piety are commendable." Chen Shide nodded with a smile and said, "Well, this county will settle the case today. Come on, and the Chen family in Jiang was arrested."
It is a distance from Pingshan Town to Xinqi County. Of course, Chen Shide would not wait in the hall. He brushed his sleeves and left the hall.
Jiang Anyi wanted to take advantage of this time to go to the prison cell to see his younger brother, but a clerk chased him out and said that the county magistrate was invited. Through Chongguang Gate and walked along the corridor to the second hall. Jiang Anyi saw a couplet hanging outside the hall: I came here because I was destined to be with the people. I am confident and I am willing to let down the people. I didn’t have time to take a closer look. The clerk led the clerk to turn over the second hall to the living room. Chen Shide was waiting in the hall.
After the ceremony, the servant presented tea. Chen Shide asked with a smile: "I just said something in the lobby and asked in detail. Jiang Anyi, when did Lord Yu accept you as a student?"
Lord Yu did not officially accept himself as a student. Jiang Anyi felt guilty and had to bite the bullet and answer, "Mr. Meng Yu taught him for a while after the New Year."
"Oh, Chen Shide rolled his eyes. Yu Zhijie left at the end of February, and it was time for him to see him off. It was only more than a month after the New Year. How could Yu Zhijie accept Jiang Anyi as a student? This kid is lying to me. Chen Shide was secretly annoyed, and the smile on his face was put away, and he asked lightly: "Jiang Anyi, are you on the A or B list this time?"
"Sir, the young student won the first place in the first place in the Chinese New Year."
"What?" Chen Shide was shocked, and raised his butt and asked, "How old are you this year?"
"The sixteen spring and autumn are passed."
Chen Shide gasped and said that he was not full of food today, but he was full of food. It is rare to be a scholar at the age of sixteen. After the age of twenty, he is a scholar at the age of twenty. This Jiang Anyi not only became a scholar at the age of sixteen, but also won the case head. This son must be smart and talented, which made Yu Zhijie happy to see the hunting. He decided to accept Jiang Anyi as a student in a short time. As the saying goes, don’t bully the young man’s poor, this Jiang Anyi can almost determine his future.
Chen Shide's face filled with smiles and said, "Before the New Year, my son Houyuan came to visit relatives, and I intended to ask Master Ling to give him a few words. Unfortunately, Master Ling had no time, so I had to do it. My son is also a person who likes to study, but unfortunately he will go back to his hometown after the New Year, otherwise he would be friends with An Yi. I would have multiple nephews, but it's a pity."
This is straightforward, and Jiang Anyi naturally would not miss it. He stood up and bowed and said, "If you don't think your nephew is vulgar, An Yi is willing to regard Brother Houyuan as your elder brother." Whether in front of you or in the long run, it is a good thing to be able to get along with the county magistrate, so how can you not continue the good thing that has fallen into the sky?
"Okay, okay, you brothers will get close to each other in the future and make progress together, hahahaha." Chen Shide laughed loudly, and seemed extremely happy.
After recognizing his brother, the atmosphere immediately became close. Chen Shide called out a virtuous nephew, Jiang Anyi endured the slander and flattered him, and his younger brother was still in prison, so he had to rely on his uncle.
After an hour and a half, the yamen runner came in to report that Jiang Chen had already brought him. Chen Shide smiled and said to Jiang Anyi: "Don't worry, I will make the decision for you."
As soon as he was promoted to the hall, Jiang Chen knelt on the rock and shivered. When she came, she learned from the yamen runner that the eldest son of the Jiang family had won a scholar, and her relative Hou Qi was beaten, and that this lawsuit was probably lost. Jiang Chen was afraid and regretful, so why was she obsessed with it? After hearing Hou Qi's words, she reported Jiang Anyong. It was too late to regret it now, and only the sieve was left on the stone.
Asking about the case, it is very important to ask questions. There are all knowledges in the voice, tone, and words. Chen Shide has been an official for many years and has a certain idea in his mind. After a call, Jiang Chen was so scared that he was out of touch and honestly explained the whole story: Jiang Chen's family got married in April, and Hou Qi, as the bride's uncle, sent her to Pingshan Town and recognized Jiang Huang's family who was having a wedding banquet.
Hou Qi did not forget his previous grudge and deliberately inquired about the Jiang family and found out that the mountain god gave him prey. Hou Qi was ashamed to have a treasure and discussed with Jiang Chen's family to deal with the Jiang family. Jiang Chen was just angry that he did not get the Jiang family's land. The two hit it off. Jiang Chen went to the county government to report, and Hou Qi went to Pingshan Town to get people.
Jiang Anyi was so angry that he was so vicious that this pair of dogs and men were so vicious. If he hadn't become a scholar, he would have lost his family this time. Chen Shide pronounced the sentence in the court, Jiang Anyong was acquitted, Jiang Chen falsely accused Liangshan and was put into detention for trial, Hou Qi falsely accused Liang of being a thief, and then blamed him for twenty more, and was dismissed from his post as a yamen runner and never hired him.
At the entrance of the county yamen, Jiang Anyi saw his younger brother. Jiang Anyong's eyes were dull and his expression was listless, and he followed the yamen runner timidly. After seeing Jiang Anyi, Jiang Anyong's eyes lit up, and he ran to his brother, crying out "wow".
Jiang Anyi felt sad. An Yong was just a thirteen-year-old boy. He must have been shocked and scared in prison. It would be good to be able to hold on until now. He gently stroked his younger brother's back and Jiang Anyi comforted him: "It's okay, I'll take you home."
His hands fell on An Yong's back, Jiang An Yong's shoulders shrank, his face showed a painful expression, and blood oozed from the coarse cloth shirt. Jiang Anyi felt ache in his heart, and gently untied his brother's clothes. Several whip marks bit An Yong's back like centipedes with teeth and claws, red and tender, and blood was still emitting.
Jiang Anyi was furious and shouted: "Which beast can beat you?"
On the other side, Ma Bawu helped the limping Hou Qi out, Jiang Anyong pointed at the two of them and said in horror: "It's them."
Jiang Anyi silently put on his clothes for his younger brother, asked his third uncle to hire a carriage, turned around to face Hou Qi and Ma Ba, and said calmly: "You two are kind enough, Jiang will definitely repay you."
Hou Qi sneered from his teeth: "Boy, wait and see."
