After slamming the gavel a few times, the yamen fell silent.
County Magistrate Zhang cleared his throat and was about to speak when he was interrupted by Zhangsun Wuji.
"Since the commoners have said so, then it must be my son's problem.”
"According to the Zhenguan Law, you should be punished with twenty strokes of the cane.”
By the time he finished speaking, Zhangsun Chong was completely dumbfounded!
Is this really my father?
Chai Ling Wu and Fang Yi 'ai finally reacted and shouted,
"How can this be? We're the ones who were beaten up!!”
"Shut up! It was fine if he was usually arrogant, but what day was it now that he dared to be like this?”
"I will inform your elders about this matter and let them handle it!”
Upon hearing this, the two of them immediately wilted.
Although they were usually silkpants, they did not dare to go against Duke Zhao.
After Zhangsun Wuji finished speaking, he saw that County Magistrate Zhang still had the intention to speak, so he glared at him.
Helpless, County Magistrate Zhang changed his words,
"Let's do as Duke Zhao says.”
This is what you wanted to do. You can't blame me, right?
After the announcement, he muttered in his heart.
Then, the two bailiffs dragged the wailing Zhangsun Chong out.
Li Yun, who was watching from the side, watched the entire scene with great interest.
The name Zhangsun Wuji, the Duke of Zhao, was like thunder in his ears.
Now that he saw her in person, he was still a little dazed.
"Young man, did you lose anything?”
"This old man is willing to double the compensation!"
"My son is used to being arrogant. When I return, I will discipline him strictly.”Zhangsun Wuji said kindly.
"Then there's no need." Li Yun waved his hand.
"Alright, I'll take my leave first.”
After saying that, Zhangsun Wuji left with Zhangsun Chong, who was on the verge of death.
Hearing the conversation between the two, County Magistrate Zhang looked at Li Yun with a different expression.
This was too strange!
It was common for Zhangsun Chong to cause trouble in Chang 'an. He would come to his yamen every few days.
Zhangsun Wuji had naturally interacted with him a few times. He had never been so friendly before.
Could it be that this youth had a powerful background?
Chang 'an was a place where dignitaries gathered. As a small county magistrate, he felt like he was treading on thin ice every day.
Therefore, after so many years, he had developed a pair of eyes that were good at identifying people.
However, he was a little uncertain about today's matter.
However, following in Duke Zhao's footsteps was never wrong.
Hence, he said,
"Since that's the case, then this case will be declared closed. As for Chai Ling Wu and Fang Jun,"
County Magistrate Zhang was a little stumped.
Logically speaking, since Zhangsun Chong was sentenced, the two of them should be punished together as accomplices.
However, Zhangsun Chong was beaten up by his father. It had nothing to do with him.
If he really beat these two twenty times, what would he do if he was punished later?
Just as he was hesitating, Li Junxian couldn't wait any longer. More and more people had gathered outside the yamen, and this wasn't a good sign!
Hence, he called over a subordinate and gave him a few instructions in a low voice.
Then, the subordinate quietly found a servant and stuffed him with a token before whispering in his ear.
The bailiff was stunned at first, then nodded. He came to County Magistrate Zhang's side and whispered a few words.
County Magistrate Zhang tried his best to hide the shock in his heart and said with a trembling voice,
"Chai Lingwu, Fang Jun, twenty strokes of the cane, execute immediately!”
"You dare!"
"Who dares to touch me!"
The two people whose names were called exclaimed!
However, County Magistrate Zhang ignored him. His attitude was very firm.
"Drag him away!"
After the two people's angry shouts went away, County Magistrate Zhang said,
"This case ends here.”
After saying that, he secretly glanced at Li Yun and turned around to return to the back hall.
Li Junxian was already waiting for him inside. After taking the Left Guard's token from him, he said,
"Don't tell anyone about this. Once you leave this room, you won't know anything.”
County Magistrate Zhang hurriedly nodded.
"The Chai and Fang families will handle it, you don't have to worry.”
After saying that, he left.
......
After walking out of the yamen safe and sound, Li Yun praised Old Huang,
"I didn't expect this county magistrate to be such a good person. He handled it very fairly!”
"Isn't that so? The case was finished before we even opened our mouths.”
After this incident, Li Yun's mood to continue playing was also put to rest. He led everyone straight to Taiji Palace.
Along the way, Li Yun sighed in his heart!
This historical document, he really just had to look at it!
This was the first time Zhangsun Wuji had interacted with him. He was such a kind person!
Why was it smeared as a thousand-year-old schemer in the historical records?
Isn't this pure nonsense!
What a righteous person. His own son had been beaten up so badly, but he did not show any mercy and continued to beat him up!
It was worthy of respect!
......
On the way back to the residence.
"I really don't understand why you're treating me like this today!”
Zhangsun Chong said hoarsely.
He was almost dumbfounded!
He had just returned from hunting in the suburbs and was in a hurry to go to Taiji Palace to watch the coronation ceremony. However, such a series of events had happened that made him dizzy!
He rode out on his horse, but he was carried back while lying on his stomach!
Even his front teeth were gone!
It was simply a great humiliation!
Zhangsun Wuji, who was beside him, no longer had the dignified look he had in the yamen.
He sighed helplessly,
"There is another story behind this matter.”
"I really don't dare to provoke that young man!”
