Yipin County Magistrate: Start with invincibility

Chapter 58
Naturally, the country gentry couldn't come up with written evidence, and their faces were flushed as if they were on fire from eating too much cow dung.

Only Zhang Shun was in a very comfortable mood at the moment, looking at the other squires, he felt inexplicably comforted: let you grandsons make fun of me.Now it's your turn to be depressed, right?
Since ancient times, repaying debts has been a matter of course, but evidence must be paid attention to in everything.

It is said that Qin Feng was given a bank note, but there is no written proof, so how can he ask for it?
Even Zhizhou, in this case, can't open his eyes and tell nonsense, let Qin Feng pay the money.

Seeing that Qin Feng was about to pass this level, Hu Lai gritted his teeth and became cruel, knelt down in front of Zhizhou, cupped his fists and said, "Master Zhizhou, don't listen to Qin Feng's sophistry! With so many of us, how can we frame him together?" No?"

"We were all deceived by Qin Feng. We didn't know about the fraudulent donation at the beginning. If we knew, we would definitely not do such a thing."

"I don't expect to get back the 3 taels of silver cheated by Qin Feng now. I only hope that Lord Zhizhou can uphold justice and sue this corrupt county magistrate to the court! We will jointly report against Qin Feng today! Please Master Zhizhou uphold justice for us and the people of Ninghai County!"

"As long as he can, let him be an official, give us Ninghai County, and arrange a real master Qingtian!"

"The 3 taels of silver afterwards, I am willing to donate directly to Lord Zhizhou!"

Hu Lai took the lead and knelt down, and the rest of the country gentry also went all out and knelt down in front of Zhizhou together.

"Master Zhizhou, please decide for me and other grassroots people!"

They were willing to go all out, thinking that Qin Feng was too deceitful, even if they didn't want the money, they would sue Qin Feng!
The squires are planning for the long-term, the 3 taels of silver are gone, and they can find a way to transfer it back in the future, and the family will share it equally, which is only a few thousand taels.

The key lies in this Qin Feng!
You can say that he is a corrupt official, now this Qin Feng does not associate with the country gentry like them, all he does is to take care of the common people.

The same is true of Zhang Shun's case, and so is the matter of suppressing bandits.

Let's say he is a clean official, this Qin Feng's tricks are worse than many corrupt officials.

Conversing black and white, pointing deeds for horses, and conspiring and tricking him, he is too difficult to deal with.

If we don't take him down and keep him in Ninghai County, will these country gentry have a good life in the future?

When Zhizhou heard what the squires said, he grinned happily.

Thirty thousand taels of silver is not a small amount even for Zhizhou.

Not to mention his relationship with Zhang Shun, even if it's just for the 3 taels of silver, Qin Feng, a small county magistrate, will do it if he can.

He glanced at Qin Feng.

Qin Feng, Qin Feng, you don't cherish the opportunity given to you. If you honestly handed over the 3 taels of silver just now, how could I embarrass you?

"it is good!"

Zhizhou looked at the squires, then at Qin Feng, and said directly: "Then, I will borrow your county yamen to have a good trial of your case! Pass on my order and be promoted!"

Zhizhou is Qin Feng's chief and has the right to use Qin Feng's place to handle the case.

Even if the case is for the trial of Qin Feng, Qin Feng is helpless.

Two officials around Zhizhou walked up to Qin Feng and stretched out their hands to hold Qin Feng: "Master Qin, you are the defendant, please?"

But as soon as the two of them touched Qin Feng's shoulder, they felt that Qin Feng's shoulder moved, and the whole body slipped away, causing their hands to fall into the empty space.

"I will go by myself."

"You two dare to move my lord, be bold!"

Sun Dabao and Wang Long saw that the officials in Zhizhou dared to be rude to their own adults, and angrily stepped forward to stop them.

Qin Feng waved lightly and said to the two of them, "Back off!"

While speaking, he winked at the two of them.

Only then did the two suppress their emotions and took two steps back.

Qin Feng said to Zhizhou neither humble nor overbearing: "Master, Qin Feng has only one wish, please judge the case fairly, and be worthy of the black yarn above his head."

"Tsk! I still use you to teach?"

"Take it down, Shengtang!"

The news that Zhizhou wanted to interrogate Qin Feng was quickly spread by Sun Dabao and Wang Long, and within a short while, it became known to the whole county.

If Qin Feng a few months ago had been interrogated by the high-ranking officials, then no one in the county would care about it, and even think that the heavens have eyes.

But Qin Feng's image has changed drastically in the eyes of the common people recently.

In the case of the old man Li and Zhang Shun, he was in charge of the people.

There were mountain bandits in Ninghai County. He borrowed troops to suppress the bandits and eradicated them all at once.

Not to mention, after the fall of Jiawu, Qin Feng confiscated the money embezzled by Jiawu, and distributed part of it to poor households in the county the next day.

In the past few days, food has been distributed continuously and porridge sheds have been built.

It can be said that it has been more than ten years, and it is only these two days that the people of Ninghai County really feel that they have a parent officer.

Such a good Mr. Qin, who can watch him stand trial innocently?
Not to mention, those unscrupulous evil gentry in Ninghai County are suing Qin Feng?
When Zhizhou was ready to stop, he changed into court clothes, put on his official hat, and sat in the lobby, a lot of people around him had already gathered, and they surrounded the small county yamen so tightly that the doors couldn't even be closed.

"Ascension to the hall, leading prisoners!"

Zhizhou sat up straight and yelled.

Qin Feng, as the defendant, had been stripped of his official clothes, and was brought to the hall wearing only his underwear.

In fact, this is unreasonable, but the master Zhizhou issued an order, and the people in the yamen did not dare to disobey.

On the other side of the lobby, Hu Lai and other squires stood in a group. Hu Lai, the leader, already had an extra piece of pleading paper in his hand.

"Whoever reports the crime, what is the report, tell me quickly!"

Zhizhou patted the gavel.

Hu Lai immediately stepped forward, holding the paper in his hand, and raised his voice and said: "The local gentry of Ninghai County, Hu Lai, Zhang Shun..."

He read more than a dozen names in one breath: "We jointly sued Qin Feng, the county magistrate, for corrupting the law, colluding with bandits, and defrauding us of 3 taels of silver in the name of suppressing bandits! !"

The official next to Zhizhou put the pleadings on it, and Zhizhou looked it up pretendingly, slapped the gavel, and said directly: "Huh! Bold Qin Feng! As an official of the court, how dare you take money and pervert the law to enrich your own pockets! Do you know crime?"

In a word, the onlookers were immediately blown away.

"How can there be such a case?"

"That's right, I only asked the plaintiff, and the defendant didn't even ask, just opened his mouth and asked someone to confess! Who is this lord official? Could it be that he has a grudge against our Master Qin?"

"Hmph, whoever he is, if he dares to convict Mr. Qin today, I will risk my life to avenge Mr. Qin!"

"Me too!"

Several people said indignantly.

Among the crowd, a well-dressed person squeezed to the front, looked at the situation in the hall, and asked the people around him: "That person in white is Qin Feng?"
