Unexpected Wu Dalang's Telling!
Yang Yi's observation was right. Although Liu Fulai did not seem to be in charge, this matter concerned human lives, so he did not slack off.
According to his request, when they posted notices to remind the people, they were also looking for experienced hunters.
He hoped that he could get rid of the tiger as soon as possible and obtain some credit.
According to the retirement period of the imperial court, he still had more than ten years before he could retire and return to his hometown.
If he worked hard, he might even be able to become a county magistrate.
At that time, the benefits would definitely be endless.
"Xing Tong, how is the progress of the tiger hunt?”
Although Yang Yi did not go personally, he had been paying attention to the development of the situation.
They also hoped to get rid of the tiger as soon as possible and return peace to the surrounding people.
Xing Tong was responsible for assisting in the fight against the tiger, so Yang Yi wanted to know the latest progress.
"Milord, yesterday, Official Liu organized an operation to eliminate the tiger. However, due to their underestimation, they did not have many backup plans and did not occupy a favorable terrain.
Therefore, not only did he fail the first time, but he also injured a few hunters. Fortunately, there were enough people. In the end, the tiger was so scared that it fled into the forest.”
Hearing Yang Yi's question, Xing Tong immediately told him the latest situation.
However, it was not good news. After he finished speaking, he seemed to blame himself and did not dare to look up at Yang Yi.
He felt that he had failed to win and had tarnished the reputation of Yanggu County.
"How many people were injured?”
Hearing that someone was injured and that he had let the tiger return to the mountain, Yang Yi's expression instantly became serious.
He was more concerned about the injured hunters.
"Milord, they are all superficial wounds. They will recover after a few days of rest. Liu said that in a few days, he would go up the mountain again to kill the tiger.”
He realized that Yang Yi did not ask about the tiger's condition, but asked about the injuries of the hunters.
Xing Tong looked up at Yang Yi and thought that the young man was not pretending. He was truly concerned about people like them who were fighting tigers.
"Should we go in a few days? How about this, I'll ask the county magistrate to take out some copper coins later to subsidize the injured hunters. The others will be rewarded as well."
After thinking about it, Yang Yi decided to transfer some copper coins from the county treasury to compensate the injured and the participating hunters.
Only in this way could they not have any resentment and focus on fighting the tiger.
He could not let these people's family lives be affected because of the tiger incident.
"Daren is really a good official!"
Xing Tong hurriedly praised Yang Yi when he heard that there was a reward.
They thought that he was sincere for the people, unlike the previous county magistrate who only cared about making money. It was harder than ascending to the heavens to get a copper coin from him.
"Alright, go and rest first. Remember to ensure your safety!”
After understanding the situation clearly, Yang Yi asked Xing Tong to rest.
The matter of killing the tiger could not be rushed. This beast had escaped once, and it would definitely be more troublesome to find it the next time. He could only think about it carefully.
"Understood!"
Xing Tong left without hesitation after receiving Yang Yi's order.
He had indeed been very busy these few days and needed more rest.
However, Xing Tong had returned not long after he left, leaving Yang Yi confused.
"Is there anything else?"
Yang Yi wanted to check Yanggu County's accounts over the years. When he saw Xing Tong turn around, he asked curiously.
They wondered if he had something to report.
"Sir, someone has come to complain outside. This lowly servant has specially come in to inform you to prepare for the trial.”
Xing Tong immediately replied.
Yang Yi only realized that someone had come to complain after hearing this. Hence, he asked Xing Tong to gather the bailiffs and start the trial again.
"Might!"
After the two bailiffs stood up with their wooden staffs and shouted, Yang Yi began his second trial in Yanggu County.
He wanted to see what kind of case it was this time and come to let him decide when he was fighting the tiger!
"Bring the person who complained."
Yang Yi ordered as he sat back down on the main seat. His handsome face was filled with dignity.
The two bailiffs standing at the door heard Yang Yi's order and immediately summoned the person who complained.
"Bring the person who complained!"
A bailiff repeated Yang Yi's order.
Not long after, two people were brought into the hall by the bailiffs.
Yang Yi took a closer look and found that the person who complained was a man who looked like a dwarf.
The accused was a middle-aged man with an ordinary appearance.
Behind the two of them was a bailiff carrying a load.
Obviously, the reason why someone complained was definitely related to this burden.
"Bang!"
"Who is complaining? Give me your name."
Yang Yi patted the gavel and asked with a serious expression.
The reason why he asked this was to make it easier for the documents to record and find out the background of the two.
"Sir, I am Wu Zhi from Yanggu County. Sir, you must help me! This person bullied my short stature and wanted to take away my property!”
Yang Yi's cold shout shocked the two people in the hall.
The short plaintiffs stated their names and the facts at the same time!
Wu Zhi's face turned red as he finished speaking. Then, he stared at the man beside him angrily.
"Sir, I am Niu San. Don't listen to Wu Dalang's nonsense. I didn't take anything from him. This burden belongs to me.”
After the short man finished speaking, the villager named Niu San immediately retorted.
It looked extremely wronged, making it difficult to tell if it was real or fake!
"Eh, today, the county magistrate is going to try a case again. Finally, there's something interesting to watch.”
"Who's squeezing me? My foot hurts so much that I quickly move my hoof away.”
"Tsk, tsk, tsk. Did Brother Wu eat bear gall today? He actually dared to challenge Niu San. This was going to overturn the heavens! Aren't you afraid of revenge?"
"You can't say that. Wu Dalang's life is already very bad. Why can't he complain? I don't believe Niu San would dare to take revenge!"
When they heard that someone had come to the county government to complain, many people on the street immediately ran in to watch the commotion.
It was as if he was very curious about Yang Yi's trial and wanted to see his elegant demeanor again.
Especially among the onlookers, there were many middle-aged women.
These women looked at Yang Yi, who was sitting in the hall, and all of them secretly stared at him with different gazes.
"Your name is Wu Dalang?"
Yang Yi noticed that this man named Wu Zhi was actually the famous Wu Dalang.
If he wasn't wrong, this person should be Pan Jinlian's husband.
Yang Yi's gaze fell on Wu Dalang when he noticed that he had come to complain.
He wanted to know what this miserable fellow looked like and if he was as lowly as the legends said.
"Master, Wu Dalang is my nickname.”
He saw the handsome new county magistrate staring at him curiously.
Wu Dalang seemed very nervous. He lowered his head and replied respectfully. His expression was indeed a little humble. Perhaps it was because of his figure that he was not confident.
"Milord, this load is used by me to sell rice and noodles. Wu Dalang wanted to take it away from me.”
The man called Niu San saw the new county magistrate looking at Wu Dalang curiously.
He immediately defended himself, hoping that Yang Yi would look at him.
When everyone heard the two of them fighting for a burden, they all looked at Yang Yi with high spirits, wanting to know how he would quickly resolve the case.
