Chapter 494

"Here comes Liu Jingzhou!"

A shout came from a distance.

In an instant, everyone's expression was solemn, waiting quietly.

The soldiers opened the way, and Liu Xiu soon came to the throne.

Liu Xiu's eyes swept over the countless people gathered below, as well as the major families and officials, with a smile on his lips. It's really gratifying that all these people are here.

The more people there are, the better the effect can be achieved.

Liu xiulang said in a voice, "come on, bring Qiu Chen and march up."

"Yes

The soldier got the order and went down immediately. Not long after, Joaquin and March were brought out.

They stood under the stage, bending over.

Both of them were well dressed and without shackles. Although they were detained, they did not receive any criminal law. This situation also makes people around feel relieved.

"See you, my Lord!"

Jo and March saluted at the same time.

Liu xiudao: "no gift!"

As soon as the words changed, Liu Xiu said, "what kind of conflicts do you have between the two of you? Let's try our best. I'll make the decision for you."

In a word, it opened up the trouble.

Qiu Chen took the lead in saying: "the elder is the most respected, and the master of the Ma family will invite you first."

"You're welcome," said March

At this time, among the people watching around, the officials of the poor family all nodded slightly to what Qiu Chen had done, with a look of appreciation on their faces. It is reasonable for Qiu Chen to let March speak first and say that the elderly are respected.

Ma Qi said: "I will tell you that Ma's family abides by the law and discipline in Yicheng County, but the magistrate of Qiu county insists on targeting Ma's family and saying that Ma's family has taken advantage of it. This is clearly a frame up. Not only that, for the sake of investigation, the magistrate of Qiu county blocked the shops of Ma family. One or two days later, after ten and a half days of plugging, how can the shops of the Ma family survive? What's the reputation of the Ma family? The Ma family is also a big family with a head and a face. What face does the Ma family have to stand on when it's spread

After hearing this, Liu Xiu's eyes twinkled, but he didn't express his opinion.

Immediately, Liu xiudao said, "is master Ma's words over?"

"That's it!"

March bowed to answer.

Liu Xiu looked at Qiu Chen and said, "magistrate Qiu, now it's your turn to speak."

Qiu Chen said: "tell me, my Lord, there are three reasons why my humble position blocked Ma's shop. First, the grain sold by Ma's shops was shoddy; second, Ma's shops used the influence of Ma's family to suppress other merchants, extort and annex other shops; third, Ma's shops concealed the population. If you get the news, you should check it. However, in the investigation, the Ma family refused to cooperate. Under such circumstances, the humble officers dispatched troops to surround the Ma family. But I didn't expect that Ma Qi was bold enough to mobilize the private soldiers of the Ma family to kill them, and then surrounded the county government. "

What he said was reasonable and clear-cut, and Qiu Chen even despised March's words.

The Ma family wanted to fight with him. It was self humiliating.

After listening to their opinions, Liu Xiu still didn't say what he thought, but looked at Ma Qi again: "master Ma, what do you want to say about Qiu county magistrate?"

"Not true!"

March didn't even think about it, so he refused.

He would not admit such slander.

March then said, "the first point about Qiu county magistrate is that the grain of the Ma family is shoddy. On this point, I want to clarify that this kind of grain is common in the market, and the price is the same as the market price. Is this the case? How can we replace inferior products with good ones. Second, the Ma family has always been fair and just and never bullied anyone. Third, the population of the Ma family is all slaves bought by the government, and there are refugees everywhere in troubled times. The Ma family's acceptance of refugees is to relieve the pressure of the government. This is a good deed. "

Liu Xiu nodded slightly and said, "Qiu Chen, what do you have to say?"

In March's mind, however, he felt that the situation was not good.

There seems to be something wrong.

Liu Xiu kept asking them, but didn't give a clear answer. It's really weird. Ma Qi couldn't figure out Liu Xiu's ideas, but he had to deal with the changes with constancy.

However, Qiu Chen has a different idea. He is loyal to Liu Xiu, and the suppression of his aristocratic family is also for the sake of Jingzhou. Therefore, Qiu Chen is quite confident, and says in a loud voice: "my Lord, what march said seems reasonable, but it's actually sophistry. The so-called market price is set by March and the shops of other aristocratic families. What can the common people do? The horse family is fair and just. It's a joke. Where the people of the Ma family go is not high spirited. Since you want to relieve the pressure on the government, why don't you set up a porridge awning so that the refugees can live in peace, and then settle down in Yicheng County? On the contrary, you take the opportunity to make a lot of money. "

The language of both sides is more and more sharp, and the language is more and more intense.

Liu Xiu listened without any worry.

Look, as always calm.

Liu Xiu's eyes turned to March, and without saying anything, March understood.At this time, the faces of the people around, the heads of the great families, and the officials of the poor families all looked puzzled. Liu Xiu has not said a word until now, just let Qiu Chen and March argue constantly, the situation is really strange.

Maggie continued: "my Lord, as the saying goes, if you want to catch a thief, you can't slander the horse family in empty words. Otherwise, Jingzhou will not be in chaos. At least, Jo has to bring out the evidence. "

Up to now, March didn't speak at all and let Qiu Chen give the evidence directly.

The Ma family has not left any evidence before. March believes that Qiu Chen can't get the evidence, otherwise Qiu Chen won't surround the Ma family, but he doesn't move.

Liu Xiu looked at Qiu Chen again and waited quietly.

Qiu Chen said: "my Lord, the reason why I didn't find any evidence is because the Ma family refused to investigate. Despicable sent people to surround the Ma family, but they were resisted by the Ma family. That's why we can't get evidence. "

For the Ma family, although Qiu Chen got the news, he didn't have the final evidence, which is also the most headache. Otherwise, he would have won the Ma family by thunder.

March said, "what resistance? Hum, if you bring people here in a fierce manner, how can the Ma family let you do anything about it? "

Up to now, Qiu Chen has gradually shown a decadent momentum.

The situation is gradually favorable to him.

There was a winning smile in the corner of March's mouth. His two sons are both highly valued by Liu Xiu. Under such circumstances, the Ma family plays an important role under Liu Xiu's command. He believes that Liu Xiu will not and can't target the Ma family.

Qiu Chen frowned and said, "my Lord, as long as you let the lower officials thoroughly investigate, there will be something wrong with the Ma family."

As soon as these words came out, Qiu Chen had already lost a chip.

There was a look of anxiety in the eyes of the poor officials around. In the eyes of the major families, the victory is in hand. As for the people watching, most of them are watching the opera. They don't have any opinions at all. They just watch the excitement.

Liu Xiu stared at them and said, "the debate between you two has begun to take shape. Now, it's up to me to deal with it. "

"Deng Zhan, bring people up."

Liu Xiu directly ordered that Deng Zhan escorted a middle-aged man up.

When Qiu Chen saw this man, his face suddenly changed.

It's no one else. It's his staff, song Chan. Now Liu Xiu sent someone to bring his aide song Chan up, and Qiu Chen had a bad feeling in his heart.

Is the adult on the side of the aristocratic family?

Qiu Chen's heart began to sink to the bottom. He thought he was loyal to Liu Xiu and thought about Jingzhou everywhere. But now Liu Xiu's practice has disappointed Qiu Chen.

Lost!

In Qiu Chen's heart, he made such a decision.

March looked in his eyes. He glanced at the family around him, with a faint smile on his face. Judging from Liu Xiu's actions, he really won this time.

Soon after, song Chan came to the stage and stood still, kneeling on the ground.

Song Chan arched his hand and said, "Cao min, song Chan, meet you."

Liu Xiu waved his hand and said, "get up and talk."

"No!"

Song Chan stood up and stood with his hands down.

Liu Xiu stares at Song Chan and says coldly, "you are Qiu Chen's staff. The Ma family accuses Qiu Chen of having no evidence to slander him. What do you say? And you are Qiu Chen's staff. Do you know that Qiu Chen oppressed the Ma family? "

Song Chan replied: "in reply, it is true that the magistrate of Qiu county suppressed the Ma family. But Ma's bullying and dominating the market does exist. It's just that the Ma family resisted the government's investigation that no evidence was found. "

"Oh, are you sure?"

The corner of Liu Xiu's mouth rose slightly, and there was already a touch of cool tone.
