"Big... Sir, no matter how bold this lowly one is, I would not dare to offend the heavens. I beg Sir to be magnanimous and spare this lowly one this time…"
Liu Xuan picked up the teacup on the table, took a sip, and said leisurely,""Spare you? You wanted to force this grandchild and grandchild just now!”
"You're a good person, Fang Lin!”
"Men, take him back to the county office and wait for my interrogation!”
"Yes, my lord!"
Liu Xuan gave the order. The bailiffs immediately pinned Fang Lin and his evil servants on the ground. They pinned their arms down and tied them up before taking them away.?
The poor grandfather and grandson had already understood what was going on.
A county magistrate came in front of them and helped them solve the problem.
Although the blind old man couldn't see Liu Xuan's face clearly, he still quickly pulled his granddaughter who was hiding behind him. Then, the two of them knelt in front of Liu Xuan.
"Sir, this old man thanks you. I kowtow to you!”
Liu Xuan quickly helped the blind old man up." Old man, get up quickly. Since I am the magistrate of Longmen, as a father and mother, I will naturally make decisions for the people. I will definitely punish this evil gentleman who bullies men and women severely!"”
After helping the old man up, Liu Xuan gave Shangguan Wan 'er a look.
The intelligent Shangguan Wan 'er immediately took out an ingot of five taels of silver from her purse and stuffed it into the hands of the old man's granddaughter.
"Sister, take it!"
The girl took the silver shyly and wanted to kneel down gratefully, but Wan 'er pulled her back.
"Thank you, my lord!"
Liu Xuan nodded." Find a good job."”
After speaking to his grandfather and grandson, Liu Xuan left with Shangguan Wan 'er and the others.
As soon as Liu Xuan left, the people who were originally eating in the restaurant immediately returned to being noisy.
"What a good official!" One of them could not help but praise.
The person beside him nodded repeatedly." That's right. Who doesn't know that this Official Fang is no different from Wang Youcai? After Wang Youcai was dealt with, he restrained himself for a while. I didn't expect that he would start to bully the market again today. In the end, he actually bumped into our county magistrate today."”
"He deserved it. He brought it upon himself. Our Dragon Sect is finally clear!”
Another old man in his fifties also praised,"Don't look down on our Liu Zhixian's youth, but he's really decisive!”
"Everyone will have a good life in the future!”
Everyone nodded.
......
Liu Xuan interrogated Fang Lin immediately after he returned to the government office. Fang Lin did not have the backing of Wang Youcai's wealthy clan.?
Fang Lin was so frightened that he confessed his crimes without even using the Killing Might Rod.?
Then, Liu Xuan waved his hand, ransacked the house, and threw him into prison!
From the start of the interrogation to the end of the raid, it had not even been six hours.
Naturally, Fang Lin's family assets were not small either.
There were eight wives and concubines, and more than thirty maids. All of them were dismissed with silver taels. The money confiscated was also quite a lot, as much as fifty thousand taels.
Liu Xuan kept 40,000 taels, wrote 10,000 taels on the official document, and handed it over to the Ministry of Justice.
However, Liu Xuan thought of a solution after Fang Lin's incident.?
He asked Niu Debao and the others to place a report box at the entrance of the yamen.
Although they could beat the drum at the entrance of the yamen if they were wronged, many commoners were still worried about revenge.
Fang Lin, whom Liu Xuan met in the restaurant today, dared to threaten others openly, let alone others. Therefore, Liu Xuan came up with this idea.?
Soon, Niu Debao posted the notice at the yamen, and the matter of the report box spread.
First, it was Wang Youcai, and now, it was Fang Lin. All of them were taken care of by Liu Xuan.?
The remaining aristocrats were all so frightened that they shut their doors and refused to come out. Many of them were like Wang Youcai or Fang Lin previously. They were extremely flamboyant in their actions.?
Right now, they witnessed Wang Youcai and Fang Lin's house being raided by Liu Xuan. Everyone was in a state of panic. They were afraid that Liu Xuan would find something on them, so they followed in their footsteps.?
This was especially true for the few people who had gathered together to use the Wang family to trick Liu Xuan.
However, just because you shut yourself in doesn't mean that your past won't be exposed.
This was especially so now that Wang Youcai and Fang Lin's houses had been confiscated and locked up in prison. This gave some of the poor commoners in Dragon Sect hope.?
One of the middle-aged men gritted his teeth and reported the evil gentry.
The bailiffs would check the complaint box every morning to see if there was any complaint paper inside.
When he opened it this morning, a piece of paper appeared in front of him.
Liu Xuan had just woken up. He was writing on the table with a brush about the methods of harnessing the river in the future. He planned to select the ones that were suitable for the Fen River.
Suddenly, the bailiff came quickly to report.
"Milord, there's a complaint!"
Liu Xuan paused." Hand it over!”
The complaint was handed over. Liu Xuan took it and understood the situation.
The person who wrote the complaint was called Xu Nian. He originally ran a cloth shop and made a lot of money. In the end, it was taken over by a gentry. Xu Nian wanted to resist, but he was beaten up and went to the former magistrate to complain.
However, this despotic gentry had long colluded with the former magistrate. Not only did he not get his shop back, but he also almost became a beggar on the streets.
Initially, he was in despair. However, Liu Xuan's arrival and his swift and decisive action in dealing with Wang Youcai and Fang Lin gave Xu Nian a glimmer of hope.?
As soon as the complaint box came out, he stuffed the complaint paper inside.
Liu Xuan saw that there was nothing else and immediately ordered," Summon him to the hall!”
The middle-aged man, Xu Nian, and the evil gentry, Liu Kaiyuan, were quickly brought up by the bailiffs.
Pa!
Liu Xuan slammed the table." Liu Kaiyuan! Xu Nian sued you for occupying his clothing shop, do you admit it?”
As soon as the gavel sounded, the shifty-looking Liu Kaiyuan trembled and hurriedly knelt down to beg for mercy." Sir, I admit my guilt. I will compensate you immediately and give up the cloth shop…"
He had thought very well. There was no room for him to turn things around in this matter. It was not a major crime for him to admit it. He would definitely not be as miserable as Wang Youcai and Fang Lin. He would only need to compensate them with some money.?
He just had to deal with this matter first and then quickly move his family away from the Dragon Sect.
However, when the Dragon Sect's citizens heard that Liu Kaiyuan had also been summoned, the citizens who had been bullied by him could not help but complain in the hall.
"Milord, he occupied my family's land two years ago!”
"Milord, he even injured my father.”
"Sir, he…"
...
Liu Kaiyuan did not expect that these commoners would actually start to kick him when he was down, and it was under everyone's watchful eyes.
Immediately, a layer of sweat appeared on his shiny forehead, and his entire body went limp.
"Liu Kaiyuan, what else do you have to say?”
