"Go away." Ye Anyian looked at Liu Zhuo coldly, raised his hand and shook him away.
Liu Zhuo was just pretending, so he took a step back and watched Ye Anyian jump into the fire pit.
At this time, two of the government officials who were rushing to the front had already raised their water and fire sticks and were about to hit Jiang Zhu, but Jiang Zhu stood motionless and didn't even try to dodge.
Ye Anian's pupils shrank suddenly, and he immediately rushed forward to block it, but Jiang Zhu reached out and took it into his arms.
--boom!
At the same time, the stick fell, and there was a loud noise.
"stop!"
Yao Jun shouted so hard that his throat was broken. He rushed out from behind the screen, and because of panic, he slammed into the screen. This was how the loud noise was made.
Fang Jinyuan, who was sitting in the hall, was so frightened that he almost jumped up from his chair. He watched with confusion as Yao Jun rushed out of the screen and shouted at the government officials.
Things happened so fast that Ye Anyian barely reacted.
He was stunned for a moment before he came back to his senses, only to see Jiang Zhu hugging him, and the falling stick had been blocked by his raised hand.
"Prefect Yao, long time no see." Jiang Zhu looked at the frightened Yao Jun with a smile.
Yao Jun slammed into the screen just now, and the pain caused cold sweat to break out on his forehead, but he couldn't care about that at the moment.
He looked at Jiang Zhu and stuttered as he spoke: "Jiang, Jiang..."
"Master Yao, don't be so excited. I have settled down here now and am living well. I didn't expect to see you grow old here."
Jiang Zhu said, patted Ye Anyian's shoulder, and introduced to Yao Jun: "Master Yao, this is my husband, Ye Anyian."
Yao Jun hadn't figured it out yet, so he had no choice but to nod and wait for a while before he understood the meaning of Jiang Zhu's words.
Dui smiled and said, "Mr. Jiang, you are all well. I really didn't expect to see you here."
"Don't stand still, Doctor Jiang and Mr. Ye... Mr. Ye, please sit down, sit down!"
As Yao Jun spoke, he came down in person, invited the two of them to sit down, and ordered his servants to bring more tea.
Fang Jinyuan was already dumbfounded. He stood there with his hands on the table, and after a while he said, "Yao... Mr. Yao, do you know Jiang Zhu?"
Yao Jun was stunned for a moment when he was asked. Jiang Zhu obviously didn't want to reveal his identity. This...
"I have seen Mr. Yao before." Jiang Zhu said leisurely.
"Oh..." Fang Jinyuan seemed to understand.
But I thought about it deeply but didn't understand how Yao Jun could treat the doctor like his own living father, just to treat a disease.
Yao Jun didn't know what Fang Jinyuan was thinking at the moment. He was so scared that he almost knelt down just now.
This Fang Jinyuan didn't want to offend anyone, but he wanted to offend this ancestor. Now the man in the East Palace has legs that were discounted by his ancestor. How dare Fang Jinyuan be beaten? I'm afraid my head doesn't want it anymore.
After inviting the two of them back to their seats, Yao Jun finally breathed a sigh of relief and walked directly to Fang Jinyuan's seat to sit down.
He cleared his throat and said: "There are many doubts about Fan Chengju's case, and the verdict just now cannot be confirmed. If you have any doubts and evidence, you can submit them to me, and I will make a new decision."
As soon as Yao Jun said these words, Fang Jinyuan, who was standing beside him, had his legs weak.
After all, he had been a county magistrate for so many years, and he had some ability to observe people's emotions. At this time, he finally came to his senses, and he was afraid that he would be in trouble today.
"Then invite the suffering master to come up." Jiang Zhu said.
When Yao Jun heard this, he quickly asked the Yamen servant to find Yuan Tai.
Not long after, a government official brought Yuan Tai in.
Yuan Tai knelt on the ground, and when he saw Fang Jinyuan, he didn't dare to say anything, but when he saw someone he didn't know sitting in the hall, wearing an official uniform, he intuitively thought it was the prefect Yao, so he opened the door tremblingly. After speaking, he told how Fang Jinyuan threatened him and blocked his mouth with money.
Finally, he knelt on the ground and said with choked eyes: "Please make the decision for the common people!"
Yao Jun listened with a straight face and glanced uncontrollably towards Jiang Zhu, but Jiang Zhu just looked at him with a smile, which made him feel scared.
"Ahem, Fang Jinyuan, do you know your guilt?"
Yao Jun's shout made Fang Jinyuan stagger and kneel down in the hall, right next to Ye Ansong.
He kowtowed repeatedly, his fat body pushing Ye Ansong aside.
"Master Yao, I am also confused for a moment!"
"It's...it's him. He found the official, gave me a lot of money, and even gave me a beauty!"
Fang Jinyuan pointed sharply at Ye Ansong, who was kneeling next to him.
"Master Yao is unjustly accused! The common people are not guilty. The common people are unjustly accused, Master Yao!"
Ye Ansong never expected that things would develop to this point. In fear, he could only kowtow and shout that he was wronged.
Ye Annian didn't feel happy when he saw him so scared that he was pissed off. He only felt that it was ridiculous and sad.
Seeing that he was staring at Ye Ansong, Jiang Zhu raised his hand and waved it in front of his eyes: "What are you thinking about?"
"It's nothing," Ye Anyian came back to his senses, "I just think he is quite pitiful."
Jiang Zhu raised his eyebrows: "Why, do you still sympathize with him?"
"That's not true." Ye Anqing breathed a sigh of relief and said, "There is a reason why he has reached this point."
The old Ye family values boys over girls, and Ye Ansong grew up being held in the palm of his hand. He naturally felt that he was a head above others, and everything that was good should be his.
His vanity and greed have been cultivated since he was a child, and his appetite has gradually grown bigger and bigger. From a young age, his family will give him whatever he wants, and he has become accustomed to this kind of life.
He is just a scholar. Although he cannot pass the exam, he can take other paths. He was Ye Ansong, a man who was regarded as proud and the son of heaven by the old Ye family. How could he not even be able to get a scholar?
Ye Annian lowered his eyes and chuckled: "When we go back, the news here will probably reach the Ye family, and we don't know what the trouble will be by then."
"Let's make trouble," Jiang Zhu put one hand on the table and came closer to Ye Anyian, "I really wish that their family would not be peaceful. Who told them to bully you with such evil hearts?"
In the hall, Fang Jinyuan and the servant named Ding Datou had confessed completely, leaving only Ye Ansong who still refused to admit guilt.
Yao Jun felt a headache and was shocked: "The prisoner has a tough mouth, so hit him with twenty big sticks and pry his mouth open!"
"Master Yao, please spare my life!"
Ye Ansong was so frightened that he collapsed on the ground. With his knee injury, he couldn't even get up. He was still shouting at the top of his lungs: "The common people have confessed their guilt! The common people have confessed their crimes, sir!"
But Yao Jun acted as if he hadn't heard anything and ignored him at all. He allowed the officer to drag him down, and the court suddenly became much quieter.
While everyone was waiting for Ye Ansong to be slapped and then hear the interrogation, they saw Liu Zhuo, who had been sitting silently, suddenly walking down the hall.
I saw him kneeling respectfully in front of Yao Jun, kowtowed to Yao Jun a few times, and then said: "Master Yao, the common people want to report Fang Jinyuan!"
Yao Jun was shocked by his words: "You? What are you going to sue him for?"
Yao Jun was pounding in his heart, Fang Jinyuan would definitely not be able to keep his official position, and he might even lose his life if this continues.
"Fang Jinyuan increased taxes without authorization, oppressed the people, and even robbed civilian men."
Liu Zhuo knelt down in the hall and straightened his body, saying word by word: "Fang Jinyuan forced me to commit myself to him, and also threatened me to keep their matter of replacing the scholar quota a secret. Only then did I have the opportunity to get close to him and give these evidences." Get it."
With that said, he took out a copied account book and a list of dozens of victimized boys from his arms, and presented them to Yao Jun.
Fang Jinyuan almost burst out of his eyes. He pointed at Liu Zhuo and yelled: "You ungrateful bitch! How did I help you in the first place?! How dare you, how dare you...!"
He was trembling with fat all over his body, and rushed forward to tear Liu Zhuo to pieces.
Feng Mingxu listened with a complicated look on his face. Ye Anyian and Jiang Zhu looked at each other, both of them looking understanding.
Liu Zhuo's true nature was exposed as early as the imitation of the Rubik's Cube.
First it was Wen Heng, then Ye Ansong and Fang Jinyuan.
Ye Annian looked at Liu Zhuo, who was kneeling in the hall and wearing a green shirt. He felt that this man was like a vicious snake. Anyone who came near him would be bitten.
And this bite can cause injury at least, or fatally at worst.
At this moment, the government servants came back dragging Ye Ansong, who was beaten half to death.
At this time, Ye Ansong's lower body was stained red with blood, his legs were dragged to the ground without feeling, and he was thrown next to Fang Jinyuan by two government officials.
When Fang Jinyuan saw this scene, he was so frightened that he rolled his eyes and fainted.
Yao Jun cursed Fang Jinyuan in his heart for being cowardly and stupid, but with a cold face he ordered the government servant to bring a basin of water to wake him up.
He has been friends with Fang Jinyuan for many years, but in this situation, he does not dare to care about the old friendship anymore. In front of this ancestor, if he does not handle it well, he may suffer.
At first, he decided to come over for the sake of old man Feng Leshan. In fact, it was just a visit, but it was just a formality to cooperate with Fang Jinyuan.
Who knew that the ancestor named Jiang was here? If he knew, he wouldn't come even to death!
Seeing Fang Jinyuan slowly wake up, Magistrate Yao was shocked and shouted: "Prisoner Fang Jinyuan, do you know your crime?"
There was a man in front of him who refused to admit his guilt and was beaten to a bloody pulp. How dare he deny it? Fang Jinyuan kowtowed repeatedly and said, "I admit it! I admit it! Mr. Yao, please admit your guilt!"
"That's the case. The prisoner raised a lot of money, increased taxes without authorization, oppressed the people, and tampered with the number of scholars in the list. He was dismissed from his official position, severely beaten, sentenced to three years in prison, and all his family property was confiscated!"
"Prisoner Ye Ansong bribed a court official, pretended to be Yuan Zihua, and indirectly killed people. He was fined a hundred taels of silver, compensated the Yuan family, and was sentenced to three years in prison. He was never allowed to take the scientific examination again!"
"Prisoner Ding Datou, under the instruction of Fang Jinyuan, assassinated Yuan Tai, gave false evidence, was beaten twenty times, and sentenced to three months in prison to serve as a warning to others! Retreat!"
After Yao Jun finished speaking, the government officials immediately stepped forward and dragged the three of them down.
The court fell silent for a while.
Fan Chengju, who was kneeling in the corner, was already stunned.
In just a blink of an eye, the people who were dragged down to fight were Fang Jinyuan and Ye Ansong.
The most important thing is, Fang Jinyuan, that bitch, was fucked like this?
He was still in shock and had not recovered, but Yao Jun kept glancing towards Jiang Zhu with a flattering look on his face. He didn't know that his ancestor was not satisfied with his judgment!
But at this time, Jiang Zhu was only talking to Ye Anyian and didn't even look at Yao Jun.
Yao Jun anxiously circled around, hesitated for a long time, and finally came forward and said: "You guys have been sitting here for a long time, why not go to the back and rest first."
Yao Jun came to invite him personally, but Feng Mingxu and Liu Zhuo did not dare to respond. They quickly saluted Yao Jun.
When Ye Annian saw this, he also wanted to salute, but Jiang Zhu reached out to hold him back.
Yao Jun didn't care about this, and said with a smile on his face: "You are welcome. Dr. Jiang is my savior, and you are all my friends."
The four of them followed Yao Jun into the third hall at the back where they were resting and entertaining guests. Yao Jun familiarly ordered his servants to serve tea and fruit plates.
Then he said to Jiang Zhu with a smile on his face: "Mr. Jiang, we meet old friends, how about we go inside and catch up on old times?"
