Remember [] in one second, free reading of wonderful novels without pop-ups!
As the old saying goes, the county magistrate who breaks the family, the mansion who destroys the door, the county magistrate is just a small seven-rank official, but in front of the people of the county, they are the parents of the official, the existence of heaven, even the rich squire, as long as there is no strong backer, The magistrate wanted to destroy his family, and that was a matter of one sentence.
Now that the county magistrate wants to stand up for Master Chen, there is no need to go out in person and issue a ticket, and the fast-paced bureaucracy detained several defendants with iron chains. The head of the Chen family was in the village with a show of power, and arrived at the county’s grandfather’s In the lobby, both legs could not stand. Chen Yongtai was born as a scholar and dared not to kneel because of his fame. The soap staff on both sides slammed on the ground with water and fire sticks, yelling in unison and shouting for power. He has never seen the world. Wherever the ordinary people can withstand such threats, their knees bend unconsciously.
As the old saying goes, the yamen opens to the south, and it is reasonable to do not come in without money. The patriarch of the Chen clan is considered a squire, even if he encounters a lawsuit, he is nothing more than spending money, but when he sees sitting next to the county grandfather’s case The man in the dress was dumbfounded. Isn't that Chen Yongren, who actually came back from Citigroup alive, and he looks like a dog, he has his seat in the court, where can I go for reason?
"Who is in the hall, why don't you kneel!" The county grandfather knocked on the gavel, and Chen Yongtai boldly replied: "In return to his old parents, the villain is a talent in the 30th year of Guangxu, who has fame..."
"Bold! As a scholar, you should read sages and sages, how can you still do that damaging thing, your fame, don't worry, I will say hello to the inspector tomorrow and get rid of your fame!"
Chen Yongtai was so scared that his three souls and seven souls were all flying, and he fell to his knees: "I'm wrong!"
The county grandfather gave a shocker again: "I dare to quibble. The suffering master didn't say that he was wronged. You, the murderer, first called out the wrongdoing. It's really a big mess in the world."
Obedient, the case has not yet started, the attitude of the county grandfather is obviously partial to the plaintiff. The results of the trial of this case can be imagined. The homicide case was serious and the trial could not be completed in a day. The two defendants were put in prison. Retrial every day.
Deciding whether to win or lose a case is not in court, but in private. After the head of the Chen family was in jail, the family began to take care of the money. The money was usually sent to the yamen. The bureaucrats in three classes and six rooms were all It is a shrewd character who looks at people's dishes. In this case, there was a big master who favored the plaintiff. No matter how much gifts the defendant gave, it was useless. Naturally, they would not tell the truth. They would coax the defendant with ambiguous words and take bribes.
Liu Yanzhi didn’t want to delay too much time here. He made a lot more money than the defendant. He was always a big penny like a hundred taels of silver. He took care of the whole yamen up and down. The case progressed very fast, and the results came out within three days. Chen Yongtai invaded property, forced deaths, expelled fame, and was severely sentenced to Qiuhou. The patriarch’s incriminating evidence was vague. Even if the verdict was not very serious, Liu Yan simply bought the prisoner. The two jailers covered the patriarch with a quilt in the middle of the night. He took a cloth bag filled with iron sand and gave him a mess. It was all internal injuries that looked good on the outside. The next day, the man died. The Yamen said he had relapsed and died in prison.
The sudden death of the patriarch caused trouble. The villagers of Chenjia Village, under the instigation of people with ulterior motives, went to the county government to make trouble, saying they wanted to ask for an explanation.
The county grandfather was furious and sneered and said that these undead people, let's see how the official's patrol and defense camp cleans up them.
After the disgrace of the Gengzi, all provinces are working hard to do westernization, open factories and mines, build machines, and train new troops. Hunan is a remote rural area, not comparable to the capital and Jiangnan. Although they are also training the new army, they are still wearing the hurdles and the firearms are used, but the name has changed from the green camp to the patrol camp. Ningxiang County has a breech gun. The patrol camp in China is not enough to fight foreign devils, and it is more than enough to suppress the people.
The patrol battalion didn’t even release the gun, and when it pulled out, the people were scared away. Liu Yanzhi spent money to ask a storyteller to promote Chen Yongtai’s evil deeds everywhere. The people in the county knew about it. When it comes to stalls, the clansmen of Chenjiacun have no face to make trouble.
The head of the patriarch died, and all his homes and fields were sold out, and his family became poor and white. This line was ruined and was replaced by other branches of the clan. Chen Yongtai deserved his crime. After reporting to the Ministry of Justice for review, he would be attacked after next autumn. As for Chen, who hanged himself. Liu family, Liu Yanzhi spent a thousand taels of silver, and asked the county magistrate to report on her behalf and set up a chastity memorial for her at the entrance of the village.
Liu Yanzhi worried that the uncertain factors of the Xinhai Revolution next year would affect Chen Yongtai’s death sentence, and he spent money to buy medicine for him. Even if he was exempt from the death penalty, he would not live for a few years. After all these things, he felt that he could barely be able to live up to Chen Liu. The souls of Shi and others died unjustly, and they went to the cemetery to check again, and the grievances really faded a lot.
...
After finishing Chen Yongren’s family affairs, Liu Yanzhi bid farewell to the prefecture, and took Chen Zikun to continue northward, traveling through the famous mountains and rivers of the motherland. If there is a train, take the train, if there is a ship, take a steamer. If there is no advanced transportation, he rented a horse and cart, and hired two people to carry it. Small sedan chair, walked from Hunan to Hubei, went west by boat in Wuchang, and visited the scenic spots of the Three Gorges.
The father and son chartered a boat. In addition to watching the scenery, they practiced guns. The practice of martial arts is about strengthening the body and self-defense. If you want to make a difference, you must be skilled in handling guns. In the 20th century, China was the most popular. The box cannon, that is, the two Mauser C　96 automatic pistols in Liu Yan's straight suitcase.
The box gun is a large pistol, which is extremely heavy for a ten-year-old child. Xiao Chen Zikun carried it as a submachine gun. This child had a good gun feel. Liu Yan bought hundreds of gourds as floating targets and threw them into the river one by one. , After a few days of practice, he can play without any false hair.
The scenery of the Three Gorges is magnificent, with majestic mountains on both sides of the bank. Looking far away, you can see the hanging spring waterfalls in the mountains and the strange pines and cypresses on the top of the mountain~EbookFREE.me~ Sometimes apes are crying at high places, their voices are miserable, and the river rocks. Constantly, it was difficult to navigate the boat. Sometimes the trackers on the shore came to pull them. The trackers were filled with poor people, unclothed, and marching barefoot, allowing Xiao Chen Zikun to enjoy the suffering of the world.
The boat passed through Kuimen and Baidi City and arrived in Chongqing. It docked at the wharf. On the hundreds of steps were the ancient Chongqing city towers. Under the blue-gray city walls were bustling with people. Chongqing is a big wharf with a strong atmosphere of rivers and lakes. It belongs to Brother Pao, and Brother Pao is Brother Brothers, and is known as the three big gangs together with Qinggang and Hongmen.
In order to give his son more experience, Liu Yanzhi spent a few days in Chongqing Panhuan, played a few fights, met a group of brothers, and tasted enough hot pot, then went west to Chengdu, and then went to Xikang along the ancient tea-horse road to enjoy the plateau scenery To the west is Tibet. It is not suitable to go deep this season. The father and son returned to Hankou by boat and took the Jinghan Road train north to Beijing.
The steam locomotive carried carriages full of passengers, all the way from Hankou across Dabie Mountains, passing Xiaogan, Xinyang, Zhumadian, Xuchang, Zhengzhou, crossing China’s first steel-structured railway bridge across the north and south of the Yellow River, and then passing through Xinxiang, Handan, Shijiazhuang, Zhengding and Baoding finally arrived at the Jingshi Zhengyangmen Railway Station.
On the side of the road in front of the railway station, remnant snow is still there, and the Zhengyangmen arrow tower stands tall, showing the glory and decline of the imperial capital.
