I am a judge in the Tang Dynasty - #118 - Chapter 118

Lin Xiu stood in the county government hall and stabbed three people with a guillotine.

This news spread throughout Qingshui County early in the morning, and everyone knew it.

Suddenly, many people in the county were full of praise for Lin Xiu.

The county magistrate, Song Yan, had just taken office not long ago.

But it is already a source of resentment for people’s livelihood.

As for Zhao Wenzhao, as the son of Zhao Zhuang, a wealthy family in the county, he usually hangs out with a bunch of drunkards.

He also did many unscrupulous things.

There is collusion between officials and businessmen, but ordinary people dare not speak out.

Who couldn’t see that Zhao Zhuang was poisoned by his son that day?

I still remember that on the day of the burial, the coffin fell to the ground for some reason when it was halfway carried.

Because the nails in the coffin have to be nailed in before they are buried in the ground.

Therefore, no nails were put on the coffin before it was carried to the cemetery.

After this fall, the coffin lid opened naturally, and Zhao Zhuang’s body was revealed inside. His face was dark and there was no trace of purple-black blood.

Even ordinary people know that this Zhaozhuang death was not an ordinary one.

Now that this case has been solved, people immediately speculate about it.

I’m afraid Zhao Zhuang appeared on that day and wanted to let everyone know the true cause of his death so that they could help file a complaint.

However, how can people sue officials?

Moreover, even the county government has stated that Zhao Zhuang died of a stroke, and his post-mortem examination was also conducted.

Even if I go to the Yamen now, I’m afraid I won’t be able to sue at all.

Therefore, many people can only hide this matter in their hearts.

Who would have thought that Lin Xiu would break the story just two or three days ago.

Not only did the unfilial son Zhao Wenzhao be killed, but the county magistrate Song Yan and the widower Cui San were not spared.

Immediately, many people praised him.

This is truly an upright official who is rarely seen in thousands of years.

It was the pride of their Qingshui County…

The next day, Lin Xiu was not in a hurry to return to Chang’an City, but instead submitted a letter in person and asked Meng Lang to personally deliver it to the palace and report it to Li Shimin.

Although Lin Xiu has arbitrary power, he can kill criminal officials first and then punish them.

But after all, he had just defeated a county magistrate who was bending the law for personal gain, and he had to explain the reason to Li Shimin.

Let him select a new county magistrate as soon as possible.

After all, in a county, if there are no officials in charge, sooner or later there will be trouble.

It just so happened that Lin Rongrong also wanted to stay and say goodbye to her former playmates.

At that time, the brother and sister were following Lao Cheng and Lao Niu in such a hurry that they didn’t even have time to say goodbye.

It’s not easy this time, and I have the opportunity to come back.

Lin Xiu simply had nothing else to do, so he agreed.

Early in the morning, the two brothers and sisters had breakfast and walked out of the hotel in casual clothes.

Of course, Princess Changle, Zhong Li, Zhong Kui and Zhao Sheng all disguised themselves and followed Lin Xiu, responsible for protecting his safety.

The two brothers and sisters came to the old house where they lived before, and the neighbors all came out after hearing the news.

Immediately, they surrounded Lin Xiu and Rong, asking questions non-stop.

“Oops, now this little cultivator has become a high official, seriously!”A woman said with a smile

“Who says it’s not the case? I said at the beginning that Lin Xiu is a person who does great things. Let’s see. Did I say it too seriously?”A middle-aged man also said next to him

“Humph, as you can tell, I remember at that time, who went around saying that Lin Xiu was a loser? Why, now that he has become an official, you have changed again?”

“This this……”

His words left the man speechless.

Suddenly, all the old neighbors around him started laughing.

Lin Xiu didn’t mind either. In fact, over the years, after his parents passed away, he and his sister lived here alone.

They have encountered many difficulties. Without the help of these neighbors, they may not be able to survive safely until now.

Besides, this place is in chaos, with wars and natural disasters happening all the time.

It is not easy for your own family to have enough food to eat. Who will take out the rest to help you?

Lin Xiu kept all these things in mind.

As the saying goes, don’t forget the person who dug the well when you are ready, and you can’t do things without conscience.

Lin Xiu asked someone to bring over some cakes, clothes and other items he bought from the street.

“Thanks to all the uncles and aunts for their help, we, brother and sister, are alive today. A small gift is not disrespectful, so I hope you don’t dislike it and share it!”Lin Xiu said with cupped hands.

“Oh, it’s our honor for you to come back and see us. How dare we ask you to bring something?”

“Who says it’s not the case? Your child is promising now and is the pride of our Qingshui County!”

“This cloth is really beautiful. I have never seen it before in my life. I can’t imagine making a set of clothes.……”

Lin Xiu smiled and chatted with them for a few more words.

Let them divide all those things.

In fact, there is no big gift.

Lin Xiu also came from a poor family and knew what they needed most.

Sure enough, although these things were not worth much, they all accepted them happily.

In fact, Lin Xiu acts as the judge of yin and yang.

I really don’t have much money on hand.

I can’t be like a corrupt official, collecting money and accepting bribes everywhere.

And the Tang Dynasty, especially in its early days.

The salary is really pitiful, and it is barely enough to maintain food and clothing.

Lin Xiu looked at them happily, with a happy smile on his face as well.

At this time, Lin Rongrong and Princess Changle were talking to several girls of the same age.

They held Lin Rongrong’s hand and looked up and down.

Today’s Lin Rongrong really looks like someone else.

She originally had a beautiful face, but now she has become even more generous, giving people the feeling of a wealthy lady.

“Ah, this woman is really beautiful, I have never seen her before!”

“Hee hee, you didn’t see it, but I did. She was also in the carriage from the last time I came here!”

“Um? Isn’t she Brother Lin’s wife?”

A few girls started chattering.

When she heard these words, the cheerful and generous Princess Changle’s cheeks turned red and she became shy.

She lowered her head slightly and said softly:”Don’t be messy. He said, who is his wife? Even if he wants to marry me, I don’t want to marry him yet.……”

The saying”don’t mean what you say” is very useful both in ancient times and modern times.

Men cannot guess women’s thoughts, but women understand women.

Seeing Princess Changle’s shy look and the unconcealed joy in her eyes when she said this… the girls all laughed tacitly.

Lin Xiu glanced back subconsciously.

I didn’t understand what they were talking about, but they were so happy.

“Sir, look over there!”

At this time, Zhao Sheng pointed to the horizon in the distance and said.

Lin Xiu looked for the sound and turned his head to take a look.

As a result, he found a dark cloud slowly drifting towards the east.

And that direction was Jing The location of River Town…_
