Chapter 629: Sun Shan is the first one, he must do the fifth
Lord Tang saw that Sun Shan did not give him face, so he would do the fifteenth day of the month if Sun Shan did the first day, without giving Sun Shan face.
He said in a cold tone: "Sun Shan, what do you want from me?"
Although he has made achievements, he is not an official anyway, and Lord Tang thinks he can afford to offend him.
What's more, it was Sun Shan who offended him first, and not punishing Sun Shan on the pretext was already giving him enough face.
Sun Shan didn't care about Lord Tang's attitude at all, and went straight to the point and said, "Lord Tang, I want to talk to you about something alone."
Looking at the master standing beside him, the meaning was self-evident.
Lord Tang was stunned for a moment, staring at Sun Shan's expression with a very serious expression, as if he really had something important to discuss with him.
Lord Tang had no idea what Sun Shan would talk about next?
What do they have to talk about?
But judging by Sun Shan's abnormal behavior, it seems like there is really something important to discuss with him?
Could it be that she was deliberately acting abnormally to attract his attention, and her real purpose was to talk about some unknown secrets?
Lord Tang looked at the legal advisor, who nodded. The two worked closely together, so he naturally knew what he meant.
The lawyer said silently: "The visitor has bad intentions, and we must understand his intentions. The yamen here, sir, please talk to him."
Lord Tang nodded, and the lawyer went out.
Seeing the two servants brought by Sun Shan, they stood on the left and right like guardians.
He also gave Sun Shan a look: My people have left, and it's time for yours to leave too.
Lord Tang wanted his advisor to get some information, and Sun Shan's servants were the most suitable people to do so.
Lord Tang also felt aggrieved. If he were an ordinary scholar, there would be no need to do this. He could just fight back directly.
But Sun Shan has the He family behind him, and it is said that he is engaged to a girl from the He family.
Alas, because of our relationship, we should not look down on others but look down on others. Lord Tang knows that he has no one and nothing, and he has used up all his talents to pass the imperial examination.
Through careful calculations, whether it is looking for a marriage or an official position, one will put in a lot of thought and foresight.
Always adhere to the code of conduct of not offending anyone if possible.
Of course, the "people" in Lord Tang's eyes refer to those with background and power. In his eyes, ordinary people are not considered people.
Sun Shan didn't notice the look in Magistrate Tang's eyes, but saw his advisor walk out.
There were only four people here, so he said bluntly: "Sir Tang, I have something to talk to you about today. It's about Yang Xiong."
Lord Tang's heart skipped a beat. Yang Xiong, what happened to Yang Xiong?
Could it be that Yang Xiong had offended Mr. Sun in front of him?
County Magistrate Tang got a headache when he thought of his brother-in-law. He was the pampered son of his father-in-law and often got into trouble.
However, he always knew his limits and knew which people he could not offend and which people he could offend. So how did he offend the first scholar in Huangyang County?
Lord Tang did not show any emotion, and asked calmly, "Mr. Sun, what happened to Yang Xiong? If you have anything to say, just speak up."
Sun Shan gave Gui Ge'er a look, and Gui Ge'er understood immediately.
He pulled out a stack of papers from his bosom and read out the words one by one: "In the thirty-seventh year of Taiqi, Yang Xiong was wandering on the street and saw a roasted pig from an old man selling food. He not only took the whole roasted pig away, but also kicked the old man.
In the 37th year of Taiqi, Yang Xiong opened a casino, causing many people to lose their families and sell their children. A villager in Xiaokeng Village could not pay off his gambling debts, so Yang Xiong led his thugs to his house and beat the man to a cripple. He also confiscated the villager's land and injured the villager's family.
In the 38th year of Taiqi, Yang Xiong was idle and walking on the street. He fell in love with a virgin girl in Shishan Village. The girl refused, so Yang Xiong used threats and inducements to force her to give herself to him. The girl's fiancé came to argue with him, but was beaten to a pulp by Yang Xiong.
In the thirty-eighth year of Taiqi, Yang Xiong......."
Gui Ge'er took the charge sheet and read it one by one.
County Magistrate Tang was so angry that he shouted, "Stop! Mr. Sun, what do you mean by this?"
County Magistrate Tang was a little nervous. Mr. Sun actually investigated so thoroughly. What on earth was he trying to do?
Could it be that he was using Yang Xiong to threaten himself to do things?
But there is no need to threaten him at all. Just build a good relationship with him, give him some money, and as long as it is not something that is outrageous to both humans and gods, he will definitely give you face and do it.
Then County Magistrate Tang thought, could it be that the goal was not to work for Sun Shan, but himself, and he wanted to pull himself down through Yang Xiong?
But if he wanted to deal with me, why would I tell him? I could just go to the next higher level and file a complaint.
County Magistrate Tang was confused about what Sun Shan wanted to do, so he asked directly, "Mr. Sun, let's be frank. What do you want?"
It was the first time that County Magistrate Tang had encountered such a thing. Mr. Sun came straight at him without any hesitation.
County Magistrate Tang really didn't know what he was trying to do.
Sun Shan looked at County Magistrate Tang coldly and said, "In the 38th year of Taiqi, Yang Xiong took a fancy to a woman who went to Fugui Embroidery Workshop to buy cloth and raped her. The woman's husband came and argued with Yang Xiong, but Yang Xiong ordered his servants to beat the husband to death and dumped his body outside the main gate of Huangyang County."
County Magistrate Tang was startled. When did this happen? How come he didn't know about it?
County Magistrate Tang pretended to be calm and said, "Mr. Sun, you must be mistaken. Yang Xiong is a bit of a dandy, but he would never do such a thing."
County Magistrate Tang knew that his brother-in-law was naughty, playful and lustful.
But how could he be so tough that he raped someone and beat her husband to death?
Usually it’s done through coercion or inducement, how could it be so strong?
County Magistrate Tang really wanted to find Yang Xiong and ask him in person.
Sun Shan looked at Magistrate Tang coldly and continued, "Sir Tang, my husband who was beaten to death was my childhood friend. We grew up together and were as close as brothers."
As close as brothers!
These four words were deeply imprinted in County Magistrate Tang's mind. He also understood the purpose of Sun Shan's visit today. He must have wanted to seek revenge for his brother.
At this moment, County Magistrate Tang wanted to beat Yang Xiong up for bringing such trouble upon him.
However, County Magistrate Tang still believed that Yang Xiong was not that crazy. The woman was probably forced and bribed into obeying Yang Xiong. The woman's husband was cuckolded, so she came to Yang Xiong to argue.
Perhaps in theory, after learning the truth, the woman's husband became so angry that he died.
Yang Xiong usually wouldn't kill anyone, he was very sensible.
Over the years, I have only caused minor troubles and dared not to cause major troubles.
County Magistrate Tang said calmly, "Mr. Sun, I am sorry for your loss. But Yang Xiong will not kill your childhood friend. He is a man of measure and will not do anything extreme. Why don't I ask Yang Xiong first? If it is true, I will ask him to apologize to you."
County Magistrate Tang wanted to make a big deal out of a small matter.
Those who owe apologies should apologize, and then everything will be forgotten.
Sun Shan did not look at Magistrate Tang and continued, "Yang Xiong beat the woman's husband to death. The woman hugged the corpse and cried bitterly. After she told the truth, she hanged herself in her bedroom the next day.
The woman's husband and mother suddenly heard the bad news and fell seriously ill. They passed away within half a year.
The woman's husband and father struggled to seek justice for their son, holding on for long periods of time.
The poor woman's three-year-old child lost his parents and grandmother overnight."
