After checking, Bai Shan confirmed that Sun San was indeed arrested by mistake, so he let him go, but before he let him go, he beat him up for his stealing behavior, and admonished him: "To be a man, you must Be honest and upright, if you continue to do such sneaky and immoral things in the future, it will not only be a matter of a few boards, but the accumulation will add up, and this county can send you to prison to reunite with your brother."
Sun San was startled, and hurriedly said: "I don't dare anymore, I won't dare again..."
Bai Shan asked Chen Danong again, and after comprehensive consideration, he fined the Sun family to compensate the Chen family for some financial expenses.
Sun San had no objection at all, and agreed with tears streaming down his face.
He wants to go home now, as long as he can leave the prison and the county government, let him do anything.
After hitting the board, Bai Shan looked outside, "Is anyone from the Sun family here?"
If not, he would have to send the county government to send him back.
As soon as the words fell, an old man squeezed in from behind the crowd. He bent his back and squeezed in hard. Everyone heard him say that he was from the Sun family, so they tried to make room for him and let people in.
Old man Sun bowed his back and knelt down before entering the lobby. He felt bad when he knelt down, so he immediately crawled over the threshold and kowtowed to Bai Shan.
Bai Shan looked at him silently, his eyes moved from his gray hair to his wrinkled face, and then to his cracked hands...
It was also the first time for Old Man Sun to go to the lobby, he was a little nervous, he put his head on the ground without raising his head, stumbling and said: "Please forgive me, no, please forgive me, I, Cao Min, is the young one, and the young one is his father."
Bai Shan thought carefully about the situation of the Sun family mentioned by Chief Sun, got up and walked to old man Sun, stretched out his hands to help him up, looked him up and down, and looked down at Sun San who was still stretching out his hand to cover his waist.
Bai Shan sighed, "Master Sun, why don't I accept such unfilial offspring for you?"
Sun San was so frightened that he fell to the ground with a slap, and immediately looked up at his father.
Old man Sun was also terrified, and immediately wanted to kneel on the ground, "My lord, spare my life, my lord, spare my life."
The literati from Qingzhou couldn't help but shouted: "Old man, what are you going to do with such an unfilial descendant? Just let the adults judge him as unfilial, and just put him in prison."
Sun San was so frightened that he hugged his father's leg, raised his head and shouted, "Father—"
The onlookers couldn't help saying: "It doesn't look like your father, but your grandfather. It's because of unfilial descendants like you that you age so quickly."
"It's the son's fault for not teaching his father. If you want me to say, this old man is not innocent. He doesn't know how to teach his son. He might as well be drowned right after he was born."
Bai Shan frowned when he heard the words, he couldn't help looking at the speaker, and asked, "Brother, you have the ability to see the future, so you can tell whether the children will be filial or not in the future as soon as they are born?"
The other party choked.
Then Bai Shan said to the terrified old man Sun: "But what they said is right, the son is not the father's fault, it is indeed your fault that you failed to raise the children well, and let them make a disaster for the village. The board is ready."
The crowd fell silent for a moment.
Bai Shan said again: "But since you are old and weak, let your son replace you. It is common sense for the son to take the place of the father."
So Sun San, who had just been spanked, was pushed to spank five more.
Sun San burst into tears and cried: "Sir, I know I was wrong, I know I was wrong, I will definitely reform in the future, be filial to my father, and dare not let my father make mistakes again."
Bai Shan nodded approvingly, "You are smart, that's right, it should be like this, but that's a matter of the future, and now the punishment is from the past. If you commit the crime again in the future, your father will not be able to teach you well, so you come to live it again on behalf of your father." that is."
Sun San howled in pain, and he swore he would never dare to do this again.
After beating the board, Bai Shan asked old man Sun to draw a bet to take Sun San away.
Old man Sun was still a little scared, but he still couldn't help asking: "My lord, my youngest son."
Bai Shandao: "This county will judge according to the law. Even if you just robbed a chicken and a pot, it's still robbery, not to mention he hurt someone."
Their atmosphere is not good, and they must be turned around. The best way is to use heavy codes to let them know what can and cannot be done.
Bai Shan asks someone to bring the next one.
Several scribes from Qingzhou looked at each other and squeezed out of the crowd, their hair crowns almost messed up.
"This County Magistrate Bai is indeed a legendary righteous man with courage and wisdom. This trial is excellent. People who are afraid of being unfilial in the future should be careful about their ass."
"This Beihai County didn't think it before, but now it looks like it's a sieve. There are nearly a hundred people doing such stealthy things in that three to five miles away."
"Is it because you are too poor that there are troublemakers in the backcountry?"
"Fart, that Xiaoliu Village doesn't look rich, why haven't I seen such a person in their village? It can be seen that it is a matter of folk customs, and the chief of the village should take the main responsibility."
"Magistrate Bai should have the same point of view as Brother Cui. Didn't you read it? Since the day of the trial, there have been five lizhengs sitting in the lobby. I find it interesting to watch them wipe the cold sweat off their foreheads every day."
"This magistrate Bai is not very old, but he is very interesting."
"It's interesting because you're young. People like County Magistrate Lu are smart and capable, but they're really boring."
"There is such a bandit den hidden under the rule, and the people's livelihood and folk customs are so poor, he can't be regarded as shrewd and capable."
"Hey, brother Cui, this is just prejudice. Although I didn't expect such a bandit den to be hidden in Beihai County, Beihai County is indeed much better after County Magistrate Lu took over Beihai County. There isn't a third of it here."
"That's right. Although County Magistrate Lu didn't find out about the problems in Dajing Village, he can't be dismissed just because of that."
"So do you want to try the county exam? I heard that this time the governor will hold the county exam not only to select people to take the exam in the capital, but also to recruit officials for the counties. I think Beihai County is good."
"Too poor?"
"But the county magistrate is good. With a background like magistrate Bai and such courage and talent, if you can stay by his side, even if you don't have a bright future in the future, it will be great to make a career. Brother Cui, are you going?"
Brother Cui pondered, "Then you can't apply for officials, you have to apply for masters."
"Magistrate Bai doesn't want Master."
A female voice came in, extinguishing everyone's enthusiasm like a basin of cold water, everyone turned their heads together, "How do you know?"
Zhou Man said: "That's what he said. In the affairs of the county yamen, there is the head of the county government, and there are clerks under it, and there are people who do the paperwork. Why do you need to call another master?"
The master has to pay the wages himself.
Brother Cui frowned and said, "Master can be an assistant."
Zhou Man said: "I can give him a reference."
Brother Cui couldn't help being anxious, "Master Zhou, there are still many benefits to the staff. If Lord Bai doesn't like some notes written, the staff can replace them."
Zhou Man: "How do you know I'm Mr. Zhou?"
Brother Cui: "...You speak so clearly, who doesn't know that you are someone close to Master Bai? Who else do you have besides Master Zhou? Not to mention Beihai County, but the entire Qingzhou City, who is as graceful as Your Excellency There is no second woman."
Zhou Man became happy when he said this, while the scribes on the side stared at him with disbelief, they didn't expect you to be such Brother Cui.
