When Jiang Zhen left Hexi Village, he was in a bad mood.
Although he has traveled to ancient times, he has always had no great sense of identification with this world, and now, he feels even more powerless.
On the pier in Hexi Village, his people were everywhere. Those people looked at him worriedly, but they didn't dare to approach him, who was surrounded by yamen, because they were afraid of the government.
It is him, why is he not afraid of the government.
In modern times, although it can't be 100% fair, at least it can be called equality for everyone, but what about here
This is a place where imperial power is paramount, and the power of the government is very, very large.
The Jiang family is a good one. It's not that they can't survive at all. He has actually done nothing to the Jiang family. Under such circumstances, the Jiang family can sue him. This Zheng Yi mentioned The imperial envoy was able to capture him.
A long time ago, Jiang Zhen actually had some worries, worried that his life would not be guaranteed in this place. When Zhao Jinge was first discovered to be pregnant, he also worried about the future of his child and worried that his child might suffer injustice in the future.
And now, he himself has encountered injustice.
Jiang Zhen's face was sinking like water, he followed the yamen to their boat, and then asked, "Where am I going?"
This Jiang Zhen is just a commoner. Not only is he not afraid when he sees them, he actually looks like an uncle? One of those yamen was dissatisfied and reached out to push Jiang Zhen: "You can be honest with me... oops!"
His hand was caught by Jiang Zhen.
"What do you want to do?" The surrounding yamen all looked at Jiang Zhen on alert, but Jiang Zhen looked at Zhou Maohe who was following up: "Master Zhou, before you arrive at the yamen, are you going to be lynched?"
"Nonsense!" Zhou Maohe said angrily, he didn't like being wronged, and immediately said: "Let go of this person, and after the interrogation, let's see what else he can say!"
Those yamen servants let go of Jiang Zhen resentfully, and Jiang Zhen ignored them and went directly into a room next to them.
This time, whether it is too big or not, it is not too small.
It's just that Lord Zhou obviously wanted to make things bigger. He even involved the magistrate of Hecheng County when he spoke.
I don't know if it is the Zheng family that has implicated him, or whether he has become a breakthrough for the Zheng family.
Jiang Zhen heard about this Lord Zhou from Zheng Yi. At that time, Zheng Yi obviously didn't take this Lord Zhou seriously, so he must have made preparations, but he didn't know why Lord Zhou suddenly appeared before this week. West Village.
Jiang Zhen was puzzled, but he didn't go into it. He soon thought about his current situation, and began to think about what he should do and what he could do.
Then, he realized that he couldn't do anything now.
He actually had the ability to escape from this ship, but he is no longer alone. He has Zhao Jingge, Zhao Mingzhu, and Zhao Liu's Zhao Fugui...
As soon as he escapes, what will these people do
If you can keep...
Jiang Zhen's fists were clenched tightly, and he couldn't control his emotions. At the same time, he suddenly thought of many people who have been wronged in history.
After returning to Hexi Village from the capital, he wanted to live a good life, open an escort agency to make some money, have a little power, and then live his peaceful life peacefully in Hexi Village...
However, is there really a peaceful life in this world
It is Zheng Yi's uncle, the second-rank official of the dynasty, who might make a mistake at some point and will be fired from office, let alone a small role like him.
Now, to others, he may be like an ant, who can be crushed to death at will.
He doesn't have the ability to be an official, but his business can be bigger, but what if it's bigger? You might be killed by others as a fat chicken!
Is this kind of thing rare in this world? Throughout the ages, are there still fewer people who have been killed for no reason
Not to mention the war.
Maybe, he can avoid all this, but what about his pearl
What about his pearl children
In modern times, he can generously say that children and grandchildren have their own blessings, because there, without encountering a very small probability event, he can always live a peaceful life, but who can guarantee here
Jiang Zhen's heart, which had slowly settled down because he became a biological son, suddenly started to move.
Closing his eyes, Jiang Zhen slowly calmed himself down.
The people who were taken away by Zhou Maohe from Hexi Village were not only Jiang Zhen, but also the old man and Mrs. Jiang, as well as Jiang Chengcai and Jiang Chengxiang.
As for Zhu Shufen and Huang Min, they stayed at home to take care of their children.
The Jiang family also has a separate cabin to stay in. Looking at everything around, Mrs. Jiang is very strange.
She touched the furnishings in the room, wishing she could take them away in her arms...
"Mother, don't move, it will be bad if you break it." Jiang Chengxiang reminded.
"Okay, I won't move." Mrs. Jiang stopped moving, and asked again, "Chengxiang, this time... can we do it?"
"Mother, it's definitely possible, this imperial consignor has come to help us!" Jiang Chengxiang said, he has also read the Daqi Law, Jiang Zhen is definitely breaking the law!
"This is good, this is good." Mrs. Jiang smiled and blossomed.
The Jiang family is very proud. At this moment, Zheng Yi is staying in the Zheng Mansion, but he is full of anxiety.
The Jiang family is all right, Jiang Zhen didn't kill the Jiang family, and since Jiang Zhen had already joined the Zhao family, he never took the Jiang family to heart. Now it seems... Knowing this, he That family should be sent far away!
Zhao Jinge had already told Zheng Yi about the previous situation and what he had done. At this time, he asked, "Master Zheng, what should we do now?"
"You did a good job, we'll do it like this..." Zheng Yi and Zhao Jinge discussed it, and just after the two of them said a few words, someone came to report that Zhou Maohe's boat had docked at the pier. With many people, they have already left for the county office.
"Let's go have a look." Zheng Yi said, and walked out with Zhao Jinge, and just after they went out, they met Feng Jingyuan.
"Master Zheng, I heard that something happened?" Feng Jingyuan looked at Zheng Yi worriedly.
Zheng Yi didn't have time to talk to him, so he and Zhao Jinge walked outside quickly.
Seeing this, Feng Jingyuan quickly followed.
For the people at this time, the imperial minister was a legendary figure.
Zhou Maohe did not hide his identity this time, and he brought many people with him, so naturally his identity was known.
Originally, people didn't dare to approach Zhou Maohe and his group. Even if they knew that the imperial minister was coming, they only dared to watch from a distance. In the end, they were afraid that they didn't even know what Zhou Maohe was here for.
However, this time Zhou Mao and his side brought a lot of people.
In addition to the yamen, many scholars who admired Zhou Maohe also came. A great scholar in the Hexing mansion who had a good relationship with Zhou Maohe also asked his disciples to follow Zhou Maohe. The servants in the family borrowed Zhou Mao and more than 20 people.
These scholars believe that they are here to do a big thing, and they are naturally very excited at this moment. They want everyone to know what they are here for. In the end, they explain it to the people around them.
So, by the time Zheng Yi and the others arrived, there were more and more people around Zhou Mao and his group, and everyone was still talking about it.
"I heard that the imperial envoy is here to arrest the head of the Jin Zhen escort."
"Yeah, I heard that Jiang Zhen was disobedient and beaten up his parents!"
"The people at the Jin Zhen Escort are very good. I didn't expect that their boss would be such a person."
"Fortunately, I didn't go to the Jin Zhen Escort to work."
…
When Zhao Jinge heard these words, his heart became more and more anxious, and Zheng Yi's brows also wrinkled.
Jiang Zhen has indeed done many things.
Now that Zhou Maohe has already incited the people like this, one can't handle it well...
"Such an unfilial person should have their head chopped off!" said an old man blowing his beard and staring.
"I didn't expect Jiang Zhen to be such a person, but fortunately, the imperial consignor is very aware of the situation."
"It's not just Jiang Zhen, it's the county magistrate... I heard that Jiang Zhen's mother wanted to file a complaint, but there was no way to plead, and the magistrate immediately kicked them out!"
"Isn't this normal? People in the yamen don't have a good thing."
…
Zheng Yi's face sank.
"Zheng Shao, this matter can't be handled very well, but it's going to implicate Zheng Shao. It's better for Zheng Shao to make a decisive decision." Feng Jingyuan persuaded Zheng Yi beside him.
"What makes a quick decision?" Zheng Yi looked at Feng Jingyuan.
"Naturally, a strong man broke his wrist." Feng Jingyuan said, he felt that Zheng Yi should immediately give up that Jiang Zhen at this time, so that Jiang Zhen's matter would not be implicated in himself.
When Feng Jingyuan just spoke, Zhao Jinge didn't understand, but he knew the meaning of "a strong man broke his wrist". With a jolt, he understood what Feng Jingyuan meant.
Without thinking, Zhao Jinge stretched out his fist towards Feng Jingyuan, and then punched Feng Jingyuan on the nose.
Zhao Jinge's temper has always been good, but now, Jiang Zhen has been arrested!
He was full of unease. At this moment, there were still people who persuaded Zheng Yi to break his wrist... Brother Zhao Jin punched him and didn't stop, grabbed Feng Jingyuan's clothes, and threw him to the ground.
Feng Jingyuan's fat body was just thrown to the ground, but he was not very angry, and sighed: "Brother Zhao Jin, this is really the best way, don't worry, Zheng Shao will definitely protect you."
When Feng Jingyuan said this, he secretly glanced at Zheng Yi. He felt that what he came up with was definitely a good idea for Zheng Yi. Without Jiang Zhen, wouldn't the Jin Zhen Escort and Qingfeng Building become Zheng Yi's
Zheng Yi did not speak with a sullen face, but at this time, Brother Zhao Jin gave Feng Jingyuan another kick.
"Brother Zhao Jin, let's go ahead and take a look." Zheng Yi said to Brother Zhao Jin.
Zheng Yi said this, obviously not willing to give up Jiang Zhen, Feng Jingyuan frowned slightly.
He had offended Jiang Zhen for a long time, and he wanted to take this opportunity to suppress Jiang Zhen, but he didn't expect it to happen.
However, at this moment, Jiang Zhen, even if he didn't die, he would have to go to half his life.
Feng Jingyuan wiped his nosebleed, rubbed the place where Zhao Jinge kicked, got up from the ground, and followed up like no one else. At this time, a servant of the Zheng family came running from a distance with a happy face: "Zheng Shao, Zheng Shao..."
Zhou Maohe came from Fucheng overnight, and it was still early when he took Jiang Zhen away, but after a lot of tossing, it was already past the time for everyone to have lunch.
As soon as he arrived at the county office in Hecheng County, he ordered people to control all the people in the county office, and then opened the door of the county office to publicly interrogate Jiang Zhen.
When Jiang Zhen was brought to the lobby, the entrance of the yamen was already crowded with people.
Song Li was just outside the yamen, constantly promoting what Jiang Zhen had done. No one had listened to him before, but now, everyone nodded.
Most of the people in this county have nothing to do with the Jin Zhen Escort Bureau, so they are naturally very interested at this moment, just want to watch a scene where the imperial commissioner tries the wicked.
"Sir, you have to decide for me!" Mrs. Jiang followed Jiang Zhen out and knelt on the ground all of a sudden, and Mrs. Jiang cried.
Jiang Zhen was dressed brightly, but the Jiang family was dressed in tatters and looked pitiful.
People all sympathize with the weak. Seeing this scene, some people had doubts before, and now they feel that Jiang Zhen is not good. Zhou Maohe even showed sympathy for the Jiang family.
He slapped the shock and said to Jiang Zhen, "Jiang Zhen, can you plead guilty?"
Jiang Zhen did not speak.
Zhou Maohe looked at Jiang Zhen who was indifferent, and his anger came out, and suddenly he found out... This Jiang Zhen never knelt down!
He immediately patted the gavel again: "Kneel down for me!"
Jiang Zhen's expression suddenly turned ugly.
After he crossed over, he never knelt down, and even when he saw Zheng Yi's second uncle in the capital, he never knelt down. Now, he actually wants to kneel
In fact, kneeling is nothing. There is gold under the man's knees. When he is training like this, he has to do everything. For many people who kneel and practice guns, they really don't care at all.
But to kneel on Zhou Maohe, he was still a little unhappy.
"Someone, let him kneel down for me!" Zhou Mao said peacefully.
As soon as Zhou Maohe finished speaking, someone stepped forward to kick Jiang Zhen's leg.
"Wait!" At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded outside.
The voice Jiang Zhen was very familiar with, he turned his head to look and saw Brother Zhao Jin.
Zhao Jinge pushed away several people, and was standing at the gate of the yamen, looking at Jiang Zhen worriedly.
"Presumptuous!" Zhou Maohe looked at Brother Zhao Jin with dissatisfaction.
Zhou Maohe is also very dissatisfied with Zhao Jinge, who is not filial to the two elders of the Jiang family. If he didn't see Zhao Jinge dressed in tattered clothes, he would not have let him go.
And now, he is dissatisfied with Zhao Jinge again.
"Brother Jin." Jiang Zhen frowned. He didn't want to kneel before, mainly because he was a little nervous, but now...
He can't always implicate Zhao Jinge.
It doesn't matter if you kneel, just think that there is a tablet in front of you!
Jiang Zhen was about to kneel down when he suddenly heard a sharp voice saying, "Where is Jiang Zhen? The imperial decree is here! Jiang Zhen accepts the decree!"
Holy decree? Almost all the people present were stunned when they heard the words.
Okay, why did the imperial edict come suddenly? This imperial edict was actually given to Jiang Zhen
Zhou Maohe couldn't help frowning, but no matter how dissatisfied he was, he still wanted to make way for the imperial decree.
The Jiang family was taken aback. The imperial envoy was already a legendary figure, and now there is still an imperial edict? This decree? Or for Jiang Zhen
What exactly is going on? How could Jiang Zhen still receive the imperial edict
Jiang Chengxiang's face turned pale, and he suddenly regretted it. He had already made up his mind not to provoke Jiang Zhen before, how could he still be persuaded to sue Jiang Zhen
The people outside are also very strange. They even came to the imperial edict. What the hell is going on
No matter how confused everyone is, at this moment, everyone must kneel and listen to the decree.
"Fengtian transports the emperor's edict... The Jiang Clan in Hecheng County offers a strategy to save people..."
The imperial decree is the most common single-color imperial decree. After all, Jiang Zhen is just a civilian.
There are not many rewards, except for one hundred gold, there is only one plaque that is a bit embarrassing to Jiang Zhen - the benevolence of the doctor.
In the previous dynasty, the commoners were lucky, and maybe they could be given the lowest title, but in Daqi, people who did not have great contributions to Jiangshan, society and Ji could not be granted titles, so Jiang Zhen naturally couldn't have this honor.
But the imperial edict also gave him preferential treatment.
"It can be seen that the official does not kneel. I respect this." The middle-aged father-in-law who was holding the imperial decree seemed a little uncomfortable. He almost forced his body to finish reading the imperial decree in his hand. At the end, his sharp voice became hoarse. .
In Daqi, as long as you have a reputation as a scholar, you can see an official without kneeling. This kind of preferential treatment is actually nothing, but at this time, such an imperial decree...
Zhou Mao and his face darkened.
When the father-in-law saw Zhou Maohe, his heart was beating.
Zhou Maohe even dared to participate in the Queen Mother, let alone their eunuchs, he actually didn't want to treat Zhou Maohe at all.
It's just... Young Master Zheng forced him to come.
"Lord Zhou, Jiang Zhen offered a way to heal his wounds and saved the lives of many soldiers. All the generals attached great importance to him. Lord Zhou..."
"What's going on with Jiang Zhen, this officer will naturally have a clear understanding, no need for father-in-law to say more!" Zhou Maohe said.
Although this imperial decree allowed Jiang Zhen to see an official without kneeling, it didn't stop there. He couldn't believe that he couldn't let Jiang Zhen subdue the law!
Thinking of this, Zhou Maohe looked at Jiang Zhen with a gloomy expression, and planned to teach Jiang Zhen a lesson before continuing the interrogation.
"Anyone whose grandparents and parents are present, but whose children and grandchildren do not set up household registration to differentiate their property, will get a hundred sticks." Zhou Maohe said: "Someone! Drag it down and fight!"
In the previous dynasties, there were descendants who did not set up household registration to separate property, that is, separate families to hide money from private houses, and they would be sentenced to three years in prison, but when they arrived in Daqi, they changed it to one hundred sticks.
This crime has always been charged, but there are really few people who have been beaten because of it. The people of Hecheng County didn't even know about it before.
This... so it doesn't work? Everyone was full of doubts, but Zhao Jinge was very anxious.
"My lord! Jiang Zhen was married to my house, so he can't afford this crime!" Zhao Jinge said loudly.
At this moment, the big drum outside the yamen was knocked, and at the same time, He Chunsheng's father came out from nowhere: "Sir, I want to sue, I want to sue! Just sue my son... that hidden room. money!"
Father He was stopped by the yamen, but the shouting was very loud, not only that, but soon, several middle-aged or elderly men rushed over and squeezed beside Father He: "Sir, Lord, I'm going to sue too!"
"I'm going to sue too!"
"And I!"
…
These people were introduced to He Chunsheng by Father He, one by one... They were all gamblers from Hecheng County.
If these people lose money, they can sell their sons and daughters. Now if they come to the yamen to sue and they can get the money, they are naturally willing.
They didn't care at all about their married daughters or twins, and some of them had been fired out for borrowing money, and they even hated their daughters.
"My lord, I haven't eaten for several days, and I have no money to spend. My daughter doesn't even give me money... My lord, you have to decide for me!"
"My lord, my son-in-law is very rich, and he doesn't even allow his daughter to give it to me! My lord! You have to decide for me too!"
Father He also shouted: "My lord, after my son gets married, he doesn't care about me, my lord! I am so miserable!"
Zhou Maohe's face turned dark: "You guys don't have to mess around!"
These people are obviously here to make trouble. In this world, how can anyone ask for money from a married woman to live
This is definitely what Jiang Zhen found in order to get rid of the crime!
Zhou Maohe was a little furious. At this time, Jiang Ping also brought the people from He Xicun.
Too many people came, and they crowded out those who were watching the fun.
In fact, some people watching the lively are not willing to leave, but among the people who can't stand He Xicun, there is a guard from Jin Zhen's bodyguard.
It really couldn't be easier for these people to push those people away.
"My lord, we are here to testify to Jiang Zhen. Jiang Zhen didn't commit... the crime of unfilial piety!" Jiang Pingdao said, a little guilty when he spoke.
However, his guilt soon disappeared.
Although Jiang Zhen did a little too much at the beginning, but really speaking, what Jiang Zhen has done is much better than what Jiang Chengcai and Jiang Chengxiang have done!
These two people are unfilial. They squeezed out all the money of old man Jiang and Mrs. Jiang, and they refused to work. They insisted on letting the two old people do farm work for them.
"Lord Mingcha, please." Others in Hexi Village also knelt down.
If Jiang Zhen is unrelenting to the Jiang family, they may not come to testify, but in fact, Jiang Zhen did nothing to the Jiang family. Before the Jiang family wanted to sell Jiang Xiaomei, he also spent money to buy Jiang Xiaomei, Raised at home, I heard that in a few days, Jiang Xiaomei was about to get married, and Jiang Zhen would also give a dowry.
In contrast, it was them... They were actually not good to the Jiang family.
This Jiang family even wants to sue their own sons and brothers, this... what will happen to them in the future!
For a time, there was actually kneeling at the entrance of the county government office, some came to complain, some came to testify, and there were all kinds of noise.
