The father of the original owner of Li Qingzhi's body was once a county magistrate.
Li Qingzhi knew clearly how the county magistrate usually made judgments, and he also roughly knew how the county magistrate would rule in this case.
Li Qingzhi had previously tried to find out about the county magistrate of Chongcheng County.
The original owner's father, Li Zhao, was a juren. Although he could become an official, he was only the magistrate of a poor county.
The county magistrate of a wealthy county like Chongcheng County must be a Jinshi. The current county magistrate of Chongcheng County is a Jinshi with a little background, named Gou.
County Magistrate Gou has little presence in Chongcheng County.
He is kind to others and never offends anyone. He will make some money, but not too much.
Chongcheng County is very wealthy, and there are many businessmen. There are countless ships docking at the dock every day... County Magistrate Gou made most of his money from merchants and the dock. The merchants actually wanted him to take money, and even if he didn't want it, they would give it to him. They would feel at ease only after he gave it to them.
As for judging cases... the county magistrate cannot sentence people to death. Major cases have to be sent to higher authorities for judgment. As for minor cases, County Magistrate Gou is relatively fair when judging.
The Hong family is a scholarly family and has a very good reputation in the scholar circle of Chongcheng County, but the highest achievement in the family is just a scholar. County Magistrate Gou does not have to be afraid of him at all, and he will not favor the Hong family when judging a case.
There is nothing to be partial to in this case itself.
In this case, he will definitely report to the police. Only by making a big deal out of this can he prevent the emergence of another Zhao Mancang.
Otherwise, what would they do if the Hong family found another servant for their young master
The courtroom of this era was actually quite small, and unlike in TV dramas, there was no group of yamen runners standing neatly on both sides.
Well, there were yamen runners, but they looked quite casual, and some of them even greeted Zhu Qian with a smile.
As a businessman, Zhu Qian knows all kinds of people.
However, the county government office of Chongcheng County is much better than the county government office where the original owner's father worked. The county government office where the original owner's father worked looked shabby.
In the original owner's memory, sometimes the people would fight in court. The original owner once rolled up his sleeves to stop the fight, but he didn't know who kicked him twice.
The original owner was the son of a county magistrate when he was young. Although he was not good at studying, he always lived a happy life and had many friends... Unfortunately, a sudden change happened later and the entire Yu County was flooded.
Jin Xiaoye did not go into the court, but Zhu Qian, Zhu Xunmiao, Li Qingzhi and Zhao Mancang went in. Also present was Hong Hui, who came to the county town by boat after Li Qingzhi and his friends left the Hong family.
Hong Hui originally wanted to ask Li Qingzhi for compensation to suppress the matter, but he never expected that he would be brought to court in the end.
Therefore, his face looked very ugly. He could never have imagined that Zhu Xunmiao would actually report to the police.
Nothing happened to Zhu Xunmiao again!
Although a scholar had injured his arm, he had never seen or heard of this scholar before, and he was obviously a man of no ability. Even if his arm was broken... he could just pay some money, why bother reporting it to the police
As for Zhao Mancang, he is their servant!
Zhao Mancang didn't take good care of his brother, so what if he got hit a few times? His brother was still a child!
