Just a few minutes ago, Magistrate Song was eating and drinking in the mansion, receiving gifts, happily waiting to welcome his daughter-in-law through the door, joining forces with the richest man in Dangtu.
A few minutes later, he was shocked to see his in-laws being beaten into pig heads, and the perpetrator wanted to accuse his in-laws of illegally marrying his daughter and his son.
Such a huge contrast made Magistrate Song feel like he was on a roller coaster, and he couldn't turn his head for a long time.
"What, could it be that Mr. Song wants to protect an acquaintance and doesn't want to uphold justice for me?" Shi Wei said displeased.
Song Zhixian finally came to his senses. He looked so embarrassed, but he still had to pretend to be calm. He cupped his hands and said, "As an official of one parent, I handle everything as a matter of public service. How dare you bend the law for personal gain?"
Shi Wei was then satisfied, nodded and said with a smile: "This is best, then let's go to the Yamen to attend court."
After saying that, Shi Wei took a big step and walked into the county government office as if entering his own home.
Seeing that their county magistrate was so polite to this young man, the government officials who had been looking so fierce just now also realized that this man had a good background, so they stepped aside in fear and did not dare to look at him.
Magistrate Song did not dare to be careless. He ordered Huang Bai to be escorted in, and he followed him into the Yamen.
When all the government officials gathered together, the magistrate of Song County smiled and asked Shi Wei to take a seat.
Shi Wei waved his hand and said: "This yamen is your territory, Magistrate Song. I am just an ordinary person who comes to complain. How can I take the seat?"
After several refusals, Song Zhixian hurriedly asked Shi Wei to show him his seat. After settling down with Xiao, he dared to carefully sit on his seat as the county magistrate.
According to the usual practice. Magistrate Song should have knocked the alarm, but with Shi Wei around, he wouldn't dare to show off even if he had ten more courages.
He felt like he was scratching an itch. He held the gavel gently and put it down, then shouted to Huang Bai who was kneeling below: "You are a disobedient person below the steps, do you know your guilt?"
Huang Baiyuan was still thinking about his in-laws. She would try her best to excuse him from begging for mercy, but now looking at Magistrate Song's situation, he looks so righteous and awe-inspiring, as if he doesn't recognize himself at all.
Huang Bai¡¯s heart suddenly became cold to the core, and he knelt there not knowing what to do.
Shi Wei, who was sitting idle next to him, said: "Song Magistrate, why don't you ask Huang Bai to plead guilty without even asking about the facts of the case? What if I am at fault for this case?"
Song Zhixian hurriedly smiled and said: "There is no need to ask, Mr. Shi, how can you be wrong? It must be Huang Bai's fault."
But Shi Wei shook his head and said: "Master Song, you are wrong. If you try the case like this and it spreads, people will think that I, Shi Wei, am bullying others and protecting you. I don't want people to gossip."
He was in prison in Dangtu. Shi Wei had always looked at the face of such an official. It would be better if he didn't bump into him now. If he bumped into him, of course he would take revenge as much as he wanted.
The magistrate of Song Dynasty knew that Shi Wei was making fun of him, but as the saying goes, the first level of officialdom kills people. What's more, Shi Wei is not one level higher than his official rank.
With Shi Wei¡¯s status as a celebrity of the emperor, as long as he says something bad about him to the emperor after returning to the capital, not to mention losing his official position, it will only take a matter of minutes for him to be killed.
Magistrate Song had no choice but to swallow his own saliva, saying yes again and again, and laughingly asked about the cause and effect of the case.
Shi Wei then told the Magistrate of Song how his master Du Zhong had arranged a marriage between him and Huang Bai's daughter.
As Magistrate Song listened, he couldn't help but stare at Huang Bai secretly, with a look of resentment.
¡°Obviously, Magistrate Song had never heard Huang Bai talk about this past incident at all, and now he was blaming Huang Bai for causing him to be implicated.
As soon as the gavel tree clicked, Magistrate Song said sternly: "Bold Huangbai, since your daughter has a marriage contract, why do you still deceive me and deceive me into marrying my boy?"
Huang Bai had no intention of defending himself at the moment, so he could only lower his head and apologize.
The Magistrate of Song was eager to end this embarrassing matter as soon as possible, so he immediately ordered the marriage contract to be cancelled, and fined Huang Bai to pay Shi Wei a thousand guan.
???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? One thousand guan is already a large sum for Huang Bai, a tyrant in the Dangtu dynasty.
At this moment, Huang Bai felt pain as if a piece of flesh had been cut out of his body, but he could only admit that he was unlucky, hurriedly admitted his crime, and voluntarily paid compensation.
Magistrate Song was afraid that his in-laws would be ignorant, so when he saw him pleading guilty, he was secretly relieved and was about to announce the closure of the case immediately.
"Wait a minute!" At the last moment, Shi Wei interrupted.
"Do you have any other instructions from Master Shi?" Magistrate Song asked uneasily.
? ?Wei stood up and his expression became solemn. "When I visited Caishi Town incognito, many people complained that Huang Bai was domineering, oppressing people, and even using various illegal means to amass money. If it is true, , Magistrate Song, how could you sentence him so lightly?"
After watching the good show, Shi Wei resorted to a cruel move.
Shi Wei has always believed in not being lenient when dealing with his enemies.
Huang Bai not only offended himself, but was also a complete evil person, so Shi Wei decided to take revenge and eliminate harm for the people, which could be regarded as a meritorious deed.
Huang Bai and Magistrate Song were both shocked at the same time.
They and Shi Wei did this just to vent their anger or to get some filial money, but they never expected that Shi Wei actually wanted to kill Huang Bai.
Huang Bai was so frightened that he fell to the ground and howled: "I have been wronged. It was all those unscrupulous people who deliberately slandered and framed me. Master Shi, please tell me clearly."
Magistrate Song also came down the stairs and said with a smile: "Although Huang Bai has some faults, he is a large local taxpayer. Whenever there is something for the government, he always actively donates. I think most of the rumors that your Excellency has heard are It¡¯s probably some unscrupulous people with malicious intentions who are deliberately framing me.¡±
Snapped!
Shi Wei stood up after snapping the case and said sternly: "I saw that Huang Bai bully others on the street with my own eyes. Magistrate Song, could it be that you want to openly protect such a bully because you have a good relationship with him?"
When Shi Wei wasn't angry, he would panic Song. When he lost his temper, he was so shocked that he didn't even dare to express his anger.
In fear, Magistrate Song bowed his head to the end and said in a trembling voice: "Your Excellency, please calm down. I will never dare to show favoritism to you. Please calm down your anger."
Shi Wei showed off his power for a moment and immediately regained his composure.
He sat down again and said with a smile: "As long as Magistrate Song doesn't bend the law for personal gain, then I'll see what you do with Huang Bai."
Song Zhixian breathed a sigh of relief, but found that his back was already wet.
He returned to his seat trembling, slapped the alarm once more, and shouted: "Come on, put the bully Huang Bai in jail, and he will be punished after the county finds out the evidence that he oppressed the people."
The officials on the left and right hesitated for a moment and did not dare to take action.
Song Zhixian was afraid that Shi Wei would be angry, so he shouted urgently: "Are you all deaf? This county asked you to put him in jail, why don't you do it now!"
The government officials did not dare to hesitate any longer. They swarmed over him, picked up the bruised and swollen Huang Bai and took him to the prison.
¡°It¡¯s a small injustice, it¡¯s a small injustice¡¡±
The sound of crying and howling gradually faded away. In Nuo Da's yamen, the local officials in Dangtu, including Song Magistrate, were all frightened and did not even dare to make a sound.
Who here has not confiscated Huang Bai's benefits, and now that Huang Bai is in jail, who will not feel guilty, fearing that if Mr. Shi continues to investigate further, it may be his turn to be unlucky.
After Magistrate Song put Huang Bai in jail, he quickly went down the stairs and said, "Sir Shi, are you satisfied with how this official dealt with the bully named Huang?"
Shi Wei immediately showed displeasure again, "Song Magistrate, I don't like hearing what you say. What do you mean I am dissatisfied? I am also asking for orders for the people and doing things in accordance with the law. Are you mocking me for not avenging my personal revenge?"
"How dare you lower your rank? How dare you lower your rank?" Magistrate Song shivered again in fright.
Shi Wei was satisfied and stood up to leave. Before leaving, he suddenly remembered something and said: "Sir Song, you must handle this case impartially. Dangtu is my hometown and I am not willing to let it go." The folks in the village continue to suffer from that bully, do you understand?"
Shi Wei has already made it clear that he does not intend to give Huang Bai a way to survive.
Magistrate Song felt his heart tremble when he heard this, and said hurriedly: "Don't worry, sir. I will bear in mind your teachings, and I will judge the case impartially and give an explanation to the people of the county."
Shi Wei nodded, patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Very good, Tu is so lucky to have a fair and honest parent like you. I will leave first and won't disturb you in handling the case."
With a happy smile on his face, Shi Wei left with Xiong Qingye and a group of tiger and bear warriors.
The magistrate of Song followed behind like a pug and respectfully sent Shi Wei away.
It wasn¡¯t until Shi Wei¡¯s figure disappeared at the corner of the street that Song Zhixian let out a long breath. His body seemed to be in collapse and he was unsteady on his feet.
Seeing this, the officials on the left and right hurriedly stepped forward to help him, and Magistrate Song did not fall to the ground and make a fool of himself.
Everyone supported Magistrate Song back toIn the yamen, the master brought the tea and asked cautiously: "Sir, what is the background of this Master Shi? How can you be so afraid?"
Song Zhixian said with lingering fear: "You don't know how powerful this person is. When it was still the Southern Tang Dynasty, I heard that he had an affair with Empress Li's little empress Zhou, but Empress Li couldn't stand him. Now he is even more deeply affected." He has gained the trust of the emperor, and I heard that he even dared to offend the original King of Jin. How can I not be afraid of such a person?"
It was not until this moment that everyone truly knew how powerful Shi Wei was, and everyone was filled with sighs.
The master added: "In this case, Master Shi really can't afford to offend him, but sir, do you really have to deal with Mr. Huang? You must know that Mr. Huang and you have been brothers for many years."
Song Zhixian sighed helplessly: "If it comes to a last resort, I will not care about brotherhood, so I will have to abandon the car to protect the commander and sacrifice him."
Everyone fell silent for a moment, as if they were also "cars" and might be abandoned by their county magistrate at any time.
Song Zhixian scratched his scalp and murmured: "But before that, we still have to think of a way. As the saying goes, wine, sex and wealth, I don't believe that Master Shi can really remain unmoved"! ~!
