Chapter 224: The reputation of Zhao County Wei

"Didn't the yamen say public trial? Why isn't the door open yet?"

"Can the dog official inside frame Zhao County Wei and don't want us to see?"

"Since it's a public trial, there's no reason to close the door! Open the door!"

"Open the door! Open the door! Open the door!"

Hundreds of people gathered in front of the yamen, each holding his right arms high and shouting loudly, with a deafening voice. Even the stone beast guarding at the yamen, the Divine Sheep and Shaw, seemed to tremble.

It seemed that the surging crowd was responding to it. The gate of the county yamen suddenly opened wide, and two teams of yamen staff holding water and fire sticks walked out of it.

The two teams of yamen were lined up on both sides, and the water and fire sticks in their hands hit the ground neatly, making a sonorous and powerful sound of the earth, which contrasted with the chaotic sound of the crowd.

"quiet!"

Zheng Ershu held the long sword on his waist and walked forward from the two teams of yamen, stood in front of the high steps in front of the yamen, and roared down like thunder.

The surging crowd immediately dropped by 70%.

"This man, the public trial of the yamen, has been summoned to us. Now, can we let us go in to watch the case?" asked the yellow-faced man who had been favored by Zhao County Wei before.

Zheng Er glanced at the yellow-faced man and said arrogantly: "The space inside the yamen is small and cannot accommodate so many people. The chief clerk of the king said that he only allowed gentry, clerk, household chief, chief chief, and other people to enter. You are stupid and noisy when you wait outside the yamen until the trial ends."

"Ah? Is this unreasonable? Since it is a public trial, we and the people are also qualified to enter the Inner Contempt case!" The yellow-faced man protested dissatisfied.

"That's it! That's it! If you don't show us the public trial, is it because you want to kill Zhao County Weir unjustly? We won't agree!" The yellow-faced man's words received public support.

Zheng Er sneered and half-sheathed his knife: "Those who do not obey the orders of the chief clerk will be punished for trespassing the yamen and disrupting public order. Are you going to rebel?"

His fierce and vicious expression caused everyone to take several steps back, and their faces became panicked.

One of the people said timidly: "Although Zhao County Wei is a good official, the chief clerk of the king is not bad. He has done a lot of good things in our county. I think it would not be unjust to Zhao County Wei. We should retreat to avoid causing trouble."

His speech immediately received a lot of responses: "Yes, yes, don't be fooled and disobey the government. What are we ordinary people involved in the affairs of the government? I believe that the king can give us justice."

"This statement makes sense, and I believe in the King's Bookkeeper!"

Seeing everyone's desire to retreat, a peasant woman holding the child stood up and said in tears:

"You guys must not withdraw! Although Wang Zhuzhu is a good official, he has brought us bridges and roads to Pingji County and many scholars and merchants, he has never looked down on us!"

The peasant woman pushed the child out and whispered loudly: "My house is accidentally kidnapped by a forced person the day before yesterday. I went to the yamen for help. They told me that Zhao County Wei was imprisoned and that it is now the chief clerk in charge of the yamen.

I had no choice but to ask the King of Lords, but the King of Lords didn't even see me, so I asked someone to send me off! My poor wood almost died at the hands of the evil man!"

Zheng Er looked at her coldly: "What's your wife, what's the matter? Isn't your child here?"

The peasant woman cried and said, "That was rescued by Captain Yun and Gan Junzuo, who were under the command of Zhao County, and they fought to the death to help me save it! Big guy, we can't have the King's Principal of Pingji County, but we must not have the Prince Zhao County!

If they dirty Zhao County Wei, if our children are raped by force and stolen by someone in the future, the chief clerk of the king will not help at all. If we don’t rely on Zhao County Wei, who else can we rely on?

Don’t be confused, everyone, we help Zhao County Wei not for others, but for ourselves! Only by such a good official who truly loves the people can we have a good life!"

"Mom..." Mu Tou burst into tears when she saw her mother crying.

A stone caused a thousand waves, and the people who were still in a state of retreat immediately stopped and their eyes changed.

Who doesn’t have children? Who doesn’t want their children to be safe and smooth? If the local official doesn’t even care about this, why should he believe him instead of a good official?

One of the octogenarians was leaning on crutches, with their lips like dead leaves, revealing their few remaining teeth, and said awkwardly: "Big guy, we really can't live without the good official Zhao County Wei!"

My son was working in the salt merchant Lin Mansion. A few days ago, he unfortunately died for the Lin Mansion. He should have had a ten tael of silver settlement fee.

But the Lin family refused to admit this. Their family was so rich that they even used more than thirty taels of bowls and chopsticks to eat, but they were reluctant to pay for just ten taels of life.

My old man went to his house to ask for it, but was beaten by his bad slaves and almost left with my son. I sued the yamen, but the king's clerk ignored it at all. If the Zhao County Magistrate had not stood up for my old man, my son would have died in vain!

You timid people just want to leave. I have lived enough, so I am not afraid!

If Zhao County Wei is really a murderer, I will never help him, but if you don’t even let us see the public trial, I am the first one to refuse to agree!”

"Yes! I won't agree!" The crowd that had just calmed down surged again, and some young and strong men even stepped forward a few steps, intending to climb the steps and confront Zheng Er and others.

Zheng Ern never expected that this group of untouchables would dare to resist. He drew his sword and looked vicious: "Those who trespassed the yamen will be punished for rebellion, and they will be killed without any hesitation! I see whoever wants to live!"

Some of the yamen servants behind Zheng Er followed Zheng Er to put the knife together, while others dodged their eyes and took a step back silently.

The one who followed Zheng Qi to draw his sword was Zheng Qi's people. Those who retreated were local yamen in Pingji County, who obeyed the orders of the King's clerk.

The local yamen student was born here and grew up here. This is their hometown, and under the steps are their fellow villagers. If they are asked to attack their fellow villagers, they cannot do anything!

"Even you want to rebel!" Zheng Er glared at them with his eyes.

The Yamashi replied: "The chief clerk of the king only said that he would let the gentry wait for people to come in, and the others were waiting outside, but he did not let us use the knife to the villagers! If something happened, we would not be responsible!"

"Okay! OK!" Zheng Er said sinisterly, "I didn't expect you waste to be useful. I only believe in my own knife! I put my words here. If anyone dares to come forward, don't blame the knife in my hand for being ruthless!"

His words failed to stop the surging feelings. The yellow-faced man, the wooden mother and the octogenarian came forward together, and were not afraid at all!

Zheng Er narrowed his eyes, wrapped his right fingers around the knife one by one, and he bit his two rows of teeth, and his facial muscles were tight.

"I will warn you one last time, who dares to go further, hum!"

"We can die today, but County Magistrate Zhao, don't be killed unjustly!" The yellow-faced man stepped forward.
