Chapter 177

Ma Wenying was escorted into the government hall.

Sitting in the middle of the lobby is the new magistrate Liu Yuanqiao. A man dressed as a martial master stood by him and waited on him. On both sides were yamen servants with water and fire sticks. The other side was the plaintiff and the owner. Under the lobby, there were many people crowded here to watch the excitement, and the people were full.

Ma Wenying was surprised to see that there were dozens of people on the plaintiff's side. His father was the governor of Laizhou, which made him bully, bully and do many evil things. He didn't even have any impression on himself. Even he didn't think he would have so many enemies.

Ma Wenying looked at the Yamen servants holding water and fire sticks on both sides. Originally, he knew all these yamen servants and was very familiar. Many people helped him and often went to work or eat wine with him. But now, more than half of them didn't know him, especially those familiar with him. Basically, they were changed, even the constable.

Liu Yuanqiao is really cruel. He changed more than half of the constables and yamen servants in the government.

Ma Wenying was ordered to kneel down as soon as he entered the lobby. When he reacted a little slowly, he was swept away by the Yamen with a water and fire stick and knelt down directly.

Liu Yuanqiao said, "who is kneeling? Tell me your name?"

Ma Wenying had to say, "Ma Wenying, a Laizhou man," is a registered residence.

Liu Yongqiao said to him, "I have 41 bitter lords here, accusing you of robbing people's wealth, bullying people, robbing property, killing people's lives, hurting people, robbing people's women, guarding stores, etc. What do you say?"

After Liu Yuanqiao finished, his master put 41 pieces of paper in front of Ma Wenying. Ma Wenying was confused in his mind. He was also frightened. He didn't remember how he had done so many bad things and offended so many people. He didn't know where to start for a moment and a half. Ma Wenying looked up blankly and glared at her, Staring hard at his plaintiffs, he didn't remember when he had offended these people, and he knew his temper. In the past, what he liked was him, so he took what he liked. In the past, he had an old father who was the magistrate. There must be no problem, but now it's hard to say. People have turned over the old accounts.

Looking at the current situation, he just wanted to retreat. It was impossible, which made him very afraid. He said, "I don't know. I'm innocent."

Ma Wenying argued that he was innocent, which was just an instinctive reaction. When the people in the hall heard it, they booed everywhere, because he was not well-known. Everyone knew that he had done many shady things. Now people came to court and Ju ran dared to deny it.

Liu Yuanqiao had nothing to be angry about. He said directly, "heirs and exhibits..."

When he saw Ma Wenying being taken away, he was also a little worried and afraid, so he changed his clothes, made up a little, mixed in the government office and peeped in the crowd. He saw that there was basically a big change of blood on the government office. Now he basically doesn't know people, but the other party's trial of Ma Wenying is quite formal.

In order to get rid of Ma Wenying, they found 41 families. All of them had papers and physical evidence. They were identified in court. Before Ma Wenying refused to recognize him, he knew that Liu Yuanqiao was cruel and ruthless. This time he killed them all. He thought of each other's hands. He was afraid. Can he come to a good end against people like him? Thinking of this section, he immediately left quietly.

However, when he wanted to go, he met a pedestrian who stopped him. This pedestrian was Liu bu.

Liu Bu stood here surrounded by several of his men and stopped him.

Liu Bupi smiled and said, "isn't this gaozhizhou? Why is it so good Yaxing to come here to study the case?"

When Gao Gao saw the other party's sneer and bad intention, he coaxed his hand and said, "my official, I have an old relationship with the Ma family. I heard that the only son of the Ma family was tried here, so I came to see him."

Liu preached, "since Lord Gao is here, why are you outside? Why don't you come in and watch."

Height said, "no! No, I'll go right away."

Liu Bu said, "I thought you came to complain about the grievances of the Ma family, Lord Gao. Now that you have come, you should go to court and say a few fair words." his fair words bite very hard, and the irony is obvious.

He hurriedly said, "no! No, I'll go right away. I'll go right away." he also saw the end of fighting against the Liu family, that is, he was broken and killed, and his chickens and dogs were restless. Where would he dare to fight against the Liu family?

Now the Liu family has become one of the best figures in Laizhou. His father is the prefect of Laizhou, and his son is the garrison commander of Jimo camp. He is a leader officer and a leader soldier, which can be said to be a local bully.

Liu Bu smiled and said, "Lord Gao, you're here. Why don't you sit for a while and see the results“

Gao didn't dare to entangle with each other again. He smiled, arched his hands, bowed his head and left. He also used to see the results. He basically knew the results.

The result was not unexpected, that is, 41 bitter owners jointly sued Ma Wenying, convicted, sentenced to beheading, reported to the Ministry of punishment, and asked to be beheaded after autumn.

Liu Yuanqiao's judgment was very fast and clean. When he announced the beheading after autumn, the people under the hall applauded.

Among the dozens of plaintiffs, Liu Yuanqiao also announced to return the robbed fields and shops. They knelt down one after another and said, "thank you, master Qingtian, for presiding over justice for us."

Liu Bu looked at his father's beautiful trial. He was very envious of him. He said to Zheng zining, who was dressed in men's clothes: "this is the official, this is power."

Today, the horse family in Laizhou is completely over. Ma Wenying, the only child of the Ma family, did all kinds of bad things. He was sentenced to beheading and public display by the magistrate, which can be regarded as a complete end.

Liu Bu came here to watch the fun when he was idle. He found that his father used a new master. In the past, his master was song xiance, but now Song xiance has been appointed as Jimo county magistrate, so he reappointed a new master. As a magistrate, it is impossible without a master.

The new master is called Wang Wendong. He is a native. He was born as a scholar and won the appreciation of Liu Yuanqiao because he was recommended. As the master of Liu Yuanqiao, he doesn't know how talented he is, but it's estimated that he can be admitted as a scholar. However, he has good looks and should be a handsome boy when he was young. Wang Wendong saluted Liu Bu and said: "Young master, my Lord asked you to eat tonight."

"I know. I'll come back early," Liu said

Liu Bu doesn't have anything to do here. He just played around with Zheng zining for a while and took a few turns. After all, they just got on. Now it's time to mix honey with oil, so we made an appointment to go out and play together.

Liu Bu didn't mean to intimidate or intimidate Gao. He just saw the past and said hello. They were a little unhappy with Gao family, but now the other party has lost power, and he doesn't need to entangle with the other party. His eyes should look forward and look at the longer term.

He admires his father Liu Yuanqiao a little. He is a man of great means and fragile hands. He can't cure all the officials under the former magistrate. However, Liu Yuanqiao has only been here for a few days, and the officials on his hands have been tamed. At least now, these people are basically listening to him in his duty room.

Liu Bu and Zheng zining looked at the nearby scenic spots along the edge of Laizhou City, but they were still a little unhappy because they saw that there were refugees everywhere, beggars everywhere, and the place was dirty and messy. There was rubbish everywhere outside the city, and there were some unclean corpses and blood stains in many places.

After all, at the beginning of the year before last, Laizhou experienced the most tragic war in the Wuqiao mutiny. You know, Laizhou was surrounded by rebels for six months, and the two sides broke out a fierce tug of war here. Although Laizhou Prefecture was not attacked, even the magistrate died. It can be seen that the war situation was tragic. Everything around the government office was leveled, and many places have not recovered Come back.

Liu Bu said, "the place here is fertile. If we could plant sweet potatoes and potatoes, how nice it would be?"

They still have time to plant in Jimo and Fushan, but it's really too late here, and now the weather has cooled and the land has hardened. It's not easy to turn the soil.

Zheng zining said: "this may have to wait until the warm flowers bloom next spring. Now it's too late to turn the soil and sow."

"It is estimated that this winter will be very cold, and many people will not be able to live this winter," Liu said

Now it's the little ice age. The weather is very cold. It begins to snow in October, and the Northern Canal section begins to form troops. If it's a normal year, it usually only freezes in December and January. However, in the cold weather of the little ice age, it usually begins to freeze in November until March next year, which means that Beijing Hangzhou University, the main artery of the imperial court The canal was frozen for nearly five months.

This is the largest blood transfusion tube of the Ming Dynasty. It has been frozen for nearly five months, which has a fatal impact on the Ming Dynasty.

The grain in the capital and even in Jiubian is transported through the Beijing Hangzhou Grand Canal, which means that after the second half of the year, the grain price began to soar and the military grain transported to various places began to default.

When even the army began to default, not to mention the relief to the people.
