Liu Jin and Mu Lin looked at each other. Mu Lin was really stubborn.
Now county magistrate Chen dare not mess around. He thought his family admiring power could threaten these three people.
Liu Jin came out at this time, saluted county magistrate Chen and said, "county magistrate, I think this second childe Mu is intimidating the three of them. My halogen was falsely accused for some reason. Please make a decision for us."
Chen county magistrate originally didn't want to pay attention to Liu Jin. He didn't say that there was a gap between Mu Lin and Liu Jin, and the relationship between his Chen family and Liu Jin was not very friendly, because Mu Yu refused his family's willingness to cooperate.
However, Huang Lang and Liu Jin obviously knew each other. Therefore, county magistrate Chen dared not ignore Liu Jin's words any more.
"Don't worry, I'll find out about it and give you justice. You should stand aside."
Chen county magistrate did not dare to judge indiscriminately, and his eyes looked at the three diners.
"Tell me carefully what happened. If you dare to deceive me, I will never forgive you."
The three diners did not expect that an imperial envoy would suddenly appear.
With the imperial envoy in their presence, they were much more at ease and told the whole story.
Roughly, Mu Lin found the three of them and asked them to eat in the Taihe building. He specially ordered a plate of brine, and then put the prepared flies in, so as to frame the Taihe building and Sue the Yamen.
"You're talking nonsense. When did I find you? You have to think clearly. I'm not easy to bully when I admire my family."
Mu Lin threatened again and again, but with little effect. The three people didn't want to shrink back at all.
County Magistrate Chen then looked at Mu Lin, "you said they were making a false accusation, and they said it was true. Then I ask you, where were you at that time? Can someone testify to you?"
Mu Lin was originally with the three of them. How can he find someone else to testify?
The three diners said, "at that time, in Zuixian building, many guests saw us drinking together. They can testify that young master Mu ER was with us at that time."
Mu Lin gnashed his teeth and looked at the three, but he didn't know how to refute.
The audience immediately understood that Mu Lin was sophistry.
"Mu Lin is bold and dare to slander Taihe building. I declare that Taihe building can continue to sell brine, and Miss Liu's brine can also be lifted. I can do business at will. As for Mu Lin, I will punish you to compensate Taihe building and Miss Liu fifty Liang. You three should reflect on yourself and apologize to the shopkeeper of Taihe building."
Seeing this, county magistrate Chen felt almost ready and immediately said the judgment.
There was no problem with the judgment, and he was able to deal with Huang lang. county magistrate Chen felt that his judgment was fairly good.
But at this time, Mu Lin stood up, pointed to county magistrate Chen and said loudly to Huang Lang: "my Lord, county magistrate Chen privately accepted 200 liang of bribes from me and promised me that he would never sell the brine of the Liu family again."
Hearing the speech, Huang Lang immediately stood up and looked at county magistrate Chen.
"You talk nonsense, you talk nonsense and frame me." County Magistrate Chen immediately scolded.
He never thought that he had punished Mu Lin lightly. He just paid fifty-two, which was nothing to him at all.
But this guy, at such a time, broke the matter between them.
He was very angry and cursed Mu Lin in his heart.
Mu Lin looked at county magistrate Chen with resentment, "since you can't do anything, don't blame me for not letting you live."
He looked at Huang Lang, hugged his fist and said, "Sir, you can check this county magistrate Chen carefully. He took bribes and perverted the law in Meiyuan county and plundered a lot of silver. My two hundred Liang is a drop in the bucket for him. You will know as soon as you check it."
"You fart. Lord Huang, I think he's crazy. He doesn't accept my judgment and talks nonsense here. Adults don't listen to him."
County Magistrate Chen was scared to death. Unexpectedly, Mu Lin said so about him.
He regretted his death now. He had known that he would not accept his two hundred liang of Mu Lin.
He took unknown bribes in private, but nothing happened. Who knows that after receiving two hundred liang of Mu Lin, Mu Lin poked such a big hole.
"If it's true, just check it out. Lord Chen, you can sit upright. Are you afraid of being framed?"
Huang Lang seems to be defending county magistrate Chen. In fact, he pushed county magistrate Chen to the point where he had to promise.
County Magistrate Chen was stunned.
Huang Lang looked at Mu Yu and Liu Jin and said to them, "I think you two have a good eye. In this way, you and the Yamen in the Yamen go to the county magistrate's residence to see if the county magistrate has evidence of corruption. Search carefully and be sure to return the county magistrate's innocence."
Mu Yu and Liu Jin answered and went to the back of the county magistrate's residence to search.
Mu Lin stood up again at this time and said, "I'll go too. Maybe they'll show something."
Huang Lang looked at Mu Lin in wonder. Mu Lin was really an unexpected figure.
"Stupid." Mu Yu's evaluation of Mu Lin is only two words.
This younger brother, who has been spoiled by his stepmother since he was a child, is often not very smart. Therefore, his stepmother didn't let him out much before, just worried that he would make trouble.
However, Mu Lin still didn't grow up. At this time, he wanted to be a member of the Chen family.
Seeing that he was so positive, Huang Lang nodded and agreed.
After all, it was Mu Lin who reported that county magistrate Chen privately took bribes. If he asked him to investigate, he would certainly work harder.
The three men took the Yamen and searched. Many precious things in the magistrate's residence were not collected in time. They were all moved out and put in the court.
Huang Lang looked more and more gloomy when he saw these things.
He did not expect that such a small county magistrate could be greedy for so much money.
When Mu Yu and the three returned, Huang Lang looked at them.
"Report to your excellency, I have found these for the time being, but I'm a little suspicious. There are still many Chen family properties outside. They must have taken other people's things."
Mu Lin really didn't break his spare strength. He was still dissatisfied at this time.
Chen county magistrate was completely afraid to speak. He bowed his head and waited to be judged by Huang Lang.
"OK, you step back first." Huang Lang waved. He didn't know what to say to Mu Lin.
Mu Yu and Liu Jin step down, while Mu Lin stands aside and waits to report Chen county magistrate again.
"Lord Chen, is there anything else you want to say?" Huang Lang looked at county magistrate Chen and asked in a deep voice.
County Magistrate Chen trembled, and then knelt down. "Spare your life, sir. I'm just confused and didn't stand the temptation. Please give me another chance."
"Give you another chance? You have to ask the people if they will give you this chance!"
Huang Lang angrily patted the handrail, stood up and scolded.
