Chapter 644: County Magistrate Tang invites the navy
The news that Sun Shan stood up for his classmate spread throughout Huangyang County in just one afternoon. Everyone praised him for his loyalty and loyalty, and called him a good person worthy of close friendship.
But what made Sun Shan spit blood was that the magistrate of Huangyang County was impartial, just, fair in law enforcement, honest and upright, and served the people. The praises were louder and louder, and the people admired Magistrate Tang endlessly.
Just ask yourself, Yang Xiong is the brother-in-law of County Magistrate Tang. Lord Tang enforces the law impartially without regard for personal feelings. This kind of official quality is rare. County Magistrate Tang eradicates evil and redresses grievances for the people, which is exactly the good official that the people desire. The people can't wait to worship County Magistrate Tang highly.
As for the fact that Yang Xiong took advantage of Magistrate Tang's status to bully others, it was entirely because Magistrate Tang had just arrived and was busy with official duties, and was temporarily deceived by Yang Xiong.
Now someone came to file a lawsuit and expose Yang Xiong's evil deeds. County Magistrate Tang said nothing and enforced the law impartially and honestly.
He seems to be the modern-day "Gong Bao", and is greatly respected and loved by the people.
When Sun Shan heard such rumors, his blood almost gushed out.
The people praised him, and Sun Shan thought he deserved it, but County Magistrate Tang, bah!
The corrupt official was portrayed in a way that was beyond belief. Sun Shan wanted to jump up and expose the true face of County Magistrate Tang.
Sun Dingnan walked in from outside and whispered, "Ashan, I found out that the words praising County Magistrate Tang were spread by County Magistrate Tang's master. I saw that the master found several scoundrels, and these words were spread by these scoundrels."
No wonder the words praising County Magistrate Tang spread so widely. It turned out that County Magistrate Tang was marketing himself, bragging about himself, and hired a group of internet trolls to spread rumors.
Sun Shan couldn't help but despise Magistrate Tang once again, and at the same time he secretly summed up the loss he suffered this time.
I thought that if I encounter such a thing next time, I should strike first. Whether Gu Shuijun is speaking ill of others or praising others, I should take the initiative and not passively accept it.
County Magistrate Tang is indeed a seasoned veteran. He needs to be more careful in the future.
Sun Shan said to Sun Dingnan, "Don't relax for a moment. Keep monitoring the government office. Also arrange for people to guard outside the city gate. Don't be lazy. Tell them to keep a close eye on it."
Fortunately, I have achieved financial freedom, otherwise I would not have the money to hire people to do things for me.
Sun Shan thought that after he passed the imperial examination and became an official, he must find a way to make money, because in this world, one cannot survive without money.
As for failing the imperial examination, you can take it more times. If you still fail after several attempts, you can only interrupt your studies and find a job, and then you still have to find a way to make money. In this world, you cannot survive without money.
The news that Sun Shan sued Yang Xiong and defeated him soon spread from Huangyang County to Sunjia Village.
Sun Bomin and Su rushed out of the village. On the third day, they knocked on the door and shouted, "Shanzi, Dad and Mom are here, open the door quickly."
Sun Shan opened his eyes drowsily, thinking that he must get a few more keys. He didn't want to be woken up to open the door when he was sleeping soundly.
Gui Ge'er opened the door, and Sun Bomin and Su ran into Sun Shan's bedroom, one quickly and the other running, and saw Sun Shan, who was still sleepy.
Sun Bomin shouted anxiously: "Shanzi, how can you still sleep? Tell me quickly, what happened? Why did you become a lawyer? And the person you sued is the brother-in-law of County Magistrate Tang, how dare you sue him?"
The people should not fight against the officials. Although Sun Shan passed the imperial examination, his family became local gentry.
But the impression that peasants are afraid of officials had long been imprinted in Sun Boming's mind. When Sun Shan heard that he was complaining, and that the person he was complaining about was a government official, he was so frightened that his legs and hands went weak and his head was buzzing.
He once suspected that Sun Shan had offended someone and that people outside were spreading rumors and slandering Sun Shan.
Su was also very anxious and didn't care whether Sun Shan was awake or confused. She quickly pulled Sun Shan up and held Sun Shan's hand tightly, no, it should be said that she pinched it.
She asked in panic, "Shanzi, tell me what happened. I've heard a lot of rumors, but I don't believe them. Go out and clarify them. We are country folk, so why would we go and file a complaint? Don't you think so?"
Su was so nervous, she thought it was people outside who were spreading rumors. Her son was studying hard in the county, so why would he help someone to file a complaint?
Su had also heard of Yang Xiong, the brother-in-law of Magistrate Tang, and was said to be very domineering and arrogant.
Su thought that Yang Qingbei did not die of illness but was beaten to death by Yang Xiong, and she became frightened again.
He trembled and said, "Shanzi, did Yang Xiong really beat Qingbei to death? Then will you be beaten to death by him too? He is the brother-in-law of the county magistrate and has absolute power. What should we do?"
Sun Shan yawned and quickly comforted Sun Bomin and Su: "Dad, Mom, don't worry. The rumors outside are all false. Look at me, I'm fine. There's no way I'll be in trouble."
Sun Shan said that the rumor was false because of the high evaluation of County Magistrate Tang, and he had to make it clear to prevent Sun Bomin and Su from being deceived.
Sun Bomin and Su couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when they heard Sun Shan say that the rumors outside were false.
It seems that we still cannot believe what people say outside, we must hear it from the person involved himself.
Sun Bomin felt relieved and said, "It turns out that it was all fake. Those people said that you sued the county magistrate's brother-in-law and he was executed immediately. Father was shocked when he heard it. It turns out that it was all fake. Alas, father is relieved now."
When Sun Bomin and Su heard the news, they wanted to travel overnight.
After a sleepless night, the couple climbed the mountain out of the village at daybreak without even having breakfast.
Huang also wanted to come along, but Sun Boming had to persuade her to stay in the village and wait for news.
Su wanted to know what happened, and asked anxiously: "Shanzi, tell Dad and Mom quickly, what happened these days? How did Qingbei die? And why are there such rumors?
Oh, those people are really harmful. Are they jealous and envious of you because you are the only juren in Huangyang County, and spread rumors about you?
"I know that the higher you stand, the more jealous you will be. Humph, people outside definitely don't wish you well."
Sun Shan put on his clothes and Gui Ge'er came in with some water.
Su said again, "Dad, let's go to the market and buy some breakfast. We woke Shanzi up so early in the morning, he must be hungry."
Sun Shan was indeed hungry, so he said, "Dad, Mom, please buy more. I'm so hungry. I stayed up late reading last night, which used up my brain and energy."
Sun Bomin and Su responded, and the couple went to buy breakfast.
Gui Ge'er didn't dare to breathe. After the people left, he said anxiously, "Brother Shan, what if uncle and aunt knew that the rumor was true?"
Gui Ge'er thought that Sun Shan said the rumor was false in order to appease Sun Bomin and Su so that they would not worry.
Gui Ge'er believed that as long as Sun Shan insisted that he did not do it, Sun Boming and Su would definitely believe it.
In their hearts, it is definitely better to trust their son than to trust outsiders, as there are bad people outside who want to harm Sun Shan.
After Sun Shan finished washing up, his mind became much clearer. He said in a very negative tone, "So what if it's true? I've already done it. It's too late to regret it."
Gui Ge'er stared at Sun Shan with wide eyes, but Sun Shan waved his hand and told him to continue doing what he was doing.
Only Gui Ge'er is at Sun's house.
Sun Dali, Sun Dingnan and ten other heroes from Sunjia Village lived in a temporary rented house.
They are still acting as spies, monitoring the government's every move.
