Li Baoshan's complaint came after all, and in a way that Li Luoyang had never thought of.
Early that morning, there was a commotion from the gate of Anning county. The sound of gongs, drums and suona made a noise, which attracted the attention of countless people. Many people put down their things to see the excitement. After all, there are too few fresh facts under the sun in this small town.
At first, I thought someone was getting married. Later, I thought someone had developed and returned home in good clothes. However, as the music became more and more sad, someone found that this should be a funeral.
Such a large-scale funeral has not appeared in Anning County for many years, and naturally more and more people are attracted.
Li Baoshan, dressed in black, was at the head of the team. He clung a crutch in his hand and looked sad and angry. Immediately behind him was the Li Pingwu family in sackcloth, of which Zhang Xiaohua was the most eye-catching, not only because she had a tall figure, but also because of her flying eyes under the sackcloth. To tell the truth, she couldn't see much sadness, mostly frivolous.
There are also some close relatives of Li Pingwu in the team. The rest are the people who carry the coffin, play music and sprinkle yellow paper. This battle can't be made up by relying on Li Jiacun alone. Li Baoshan and Zhang Xiaohua must have paid money to hire a group of professionals to make room for the current situation. Even Zhang Ling, who heard the sound, was shocked to see it.
"Xiaohua, what are you doing?"
Zhang Ling can't control others, but Zhang Xiaohua is from Zhangjia. Her every move also represents the image of Zhangjia.
"Brother, you're here. Your brother-in-law was killed. You have to decide for him!" Zhang Xiaohua grabbed Zhang Ling and knelt down. The action is exaggerated and the tone of voice is desolate, but there is no tear in his eyes. Zhang Ling was really upset when he saw it.
Shaking off Zhang Xiaohua's hand, Zhang Ling said positively, "I'm a member of the Yamen. I'm always on business."
"Of course it's business!" Li Baoshan, standing on the side, suddenly came up and said loudly, "today we're here for business. We're looking for Lord Liu to preside over justice for our Lijia village!"
"Li Baoshan, what can you say directly to the Yamen? What do you mean by doing so?"
"I'm going to the Yamen! We don't mean anything else. We just want Pingwu to see the people who killed him before he goes to the earth. If he has a spirit in heaven, he will jump up and drag the cruel man down!" Li Baoshan said with tears in his eyes, and many onlookers also looked quite moved.
Zhang Ling is a little anxious. This occasion is very unfavorable to him. If he is not careful, he may form a wind evaluation. Wind evaluation is today's public opinion. Public opinion is unfavorable to you. Even if the master thinks much of you, he doesn't dare to use it.
Therefore, Zhang Ling can only choose to retreat temporarily. He is going to find Li Luoyang. He will take a breath first, and then go back to the Yamen to report to the Lord.
Seeing that Li Baoshan is determined to make things bigger, Zhang Ling is very worried about whether Li Luoyang can cope with it.
In Liao's courtyard, before Li Luoyang went out, she saw Mother Zeng coming back in a panic. "Young master, young master, it's not good, it's not good. I just heard in the vegetable market that people in Lijia village came to you with gongs and drums."
"Beating gongs and drums? Come to me? I can't sing." Li Luoyang smiled faintly, and there was no panic in his expression.
"Young master, you're still joking. I heard they're going to the Yamen to sue you."
"Don't worry, Mammy. They can't tell me. What should you do or do? Remember to prepare dinner. I'll come back for dinner in the evening."
"Have dinner? This report, young master, you may be in prison. I'd better hurry to prepare bedding and dry food for you."
As a defendant, he should be put into prison and wait for the matter to be found out before he is released. This is the rule of the Zhou Dynasty. He is mainly worried that the defendant will escape after knowing the incident. Nowadays, there is no Skynet monitoring. The mountain is high and the emperor is far away. If he runs out, who can pat his chest and catch him back.
"Don't worry, I won't be put in prison. Keep your voice down and don't be heard by yingzi." Li Luoyang lowered his voice. After urging mother Zeng away, he shook his head and put down the prepared "schoolbag". It seems that it's impossible to go to the county school today. What's left is to surrender voluntarily or wait for summons.
"Wait."
After thinking about it, it seems a little "guilty of being a thief" to take the initiative to surrender. It's better to stay at home and point out that there will be someone in a while. Li Luoyang thought of it here and heard the sound of the door being photographed.
"Is Li Luoyang there? Open the door, open the door, you guys surround first, don't go, suspect!"
"How is this silly beep beep? Alas, I know that Zhang Xiaohua will not stop. It's annoying." Li Luoyang shook his head. He didn't want to affect his family at first. Now it seems that his hope will be lost.
"What are you doing? Spread out. Do you dare to stop me?"
Li Luoyang came to the door and was about to take off the latch. Suddenly, a familiar voice came from outside. It was Wu Cheng, the Lord of Wu County.
"Good buddy." with a slight smile, Li Luoyang accelerated his action. As soon as he opened the door, he saw Wu Cheng "in a rage", while Zhang Jiong and several yamen servants who were originally fierce retreated to one side, one by one.
"Oh, Luoyang, I'm free today. My elders gave me a batch of brocade. Let's go and appreciate it with me."
Wu Cheng smiled angrily when he saw Li Luoyang. His kind expression made the melon eaters around envy him - it's a royal family. If you can have a good relationship with the royal family, should you be able to walk sideways in Anning county?
Appreciate brocade?
Wu Cheng's reason made Li Luoyang almost laugh. A fart big child, but also a boy, to appreciate brocade, no one believes it! But I have to thank others for their kindness, not just to pull him out of the mud?
"County leader, we came here at the order of the county magistrate and detained Li Luoyang to ask the Yamen. Can the county magistrate be accommodating?" Zhang Jiong was really afraid that Li Luoyang would be taken away by Wu Cheng. On the one hand, it was difficult to enter the county magistrate's house, even if it was the county magistrate's words. On the other hand, his younger sister and Li Baoshan were still making trouble at the yamen gate, If it goes on like this, the county magistrate must be angry. He will be the one who can't eat and hang up at that time.
"Well," Wu Cheng was pondering how to refuse Zhang Jiong, but Li Luoyang secretly pulled Wu Cheng's sleeve, "it's all right, I'll come."
"Sure?" Wu Cheng bent down and stared at Li Luoyang.
"Don't worry, when did you see me do something uncertain?"
With Li Luoyang's words, Wu Cheng couldn't be stronger. He glared at Zhang Jiong, put on a face of "I remember you", and then stepped back with a heavy hum and gave the venue to Luoyang.
Zhang Jiong is happy now. Without the protection of the county leader, I won't deal with you.
"Come on, cuff the prisoner!"
