The little Fubao in the deserted village made all the dignitaries in the court go crazy with envy

Wutong Town Yamen.

Yang Fu sat in the office, bored, and from time to time he looked up at the sky and sighed, his sighs were long and sad.

The chief clerk was also bored at the small table next to him, drowsy with his chin supported by one hand.

I've heard so many sighs during this period that I've gotten used to it.

"Yuanzhou is trying a case across regions. Cao Wu's case has spread all over Dari. Alas."

"Why isn't the case being tried in my hands? Alas."

"Obviously, the people were hiding in Wutong Town at the beginning, so I should have handled the case. Chief Registrar, do you think this is reasonable? Is this the way it should be?"

The person on the other end nodded and fished, but didn't respond.

Yang Fu looked up at the sky and sighed.

How could there be such an unreasonable rule that town and county officials cannot judge homicide cases?

Such a great political achievement! But it didn't fall on his head, and the prefecture made a profit!

Ugh……

Suddenly.

Boom boom boom!

Boom boom boom!

Suddenly, there was a burst of drumbeats outside the front hall, which scared the two absent-minded people so much that they almost fell off their chairs.

Yang Fu stood up and walked to the front hall, straightening his official hat. When he passed by the chief clerk's desk, he kicked the table leg and said, "Don't fall asleep. Wake up quickly. The town residents are so idle that they are not afraid of being beaten with a stick!"

The chief clerk had no choice but to get up and follow, his eyes still half asleep, muttering, "He's really brave, beating the drum for a small matter. I wonder whose chickens have roosted in someone else's chicken coop this time, or which farmer has caught a cattle thief again."

Yang Fu: "..." Aren't these just trivial matters?

Nowadays, people in the town live more and more peacefully, the atmosphere is getting better and better, and major incidents rarely happen.

His job as a garrison officer became increasingly idle, and he could only deal with chickens, ducks, and dogs all day long. Apart from the unresolved case of Li's adopted daughter a month ago, the biggest case he had been handling recently was the arrest of a cattle thief.

When we arrived at the front hall, there was already an old man with gray hair standing there, holding a stack of petitions in his hand and passing them up.

Before Yang Fu could sit down, his eyes lit up when he saw the old man's face clearly, and he was visibly excited, like a wolf seeing meat.

Who doesn’t know that there’s an old lawyer living in Yuxi Village who’s very good at handling lawsuits?

The old lawyer became famous after this battle. What he said in the lobby of the yamen had spread throughout Yuanzhou, and his reputation had even spread to the imperial capital Changjing!

"I am Xu Hanzhang, a commoner, greeting your Excellency. I am beating the drum to appeal for justice and have five complaints. Here are the petitions, please have a look at them!" The old man spoke in a sonorous voice, neither humble nor arrogant.

Yang Fu likes it so much!

The huge wealth finally started to flow into his head!

If he can't handle this, he will be letting down his ancestors, his descendants, and himself for the decades of his mediocre career!

"Master, submit the complaint immediately!"

Outside the yamen lobby, there were as many ordinary people watching as before, and even more this time.

The case inside had not yet been tried and the complaint had not yet been read, but outside, a gossiper had already learned the inside story and started talking about it.

"This is the old lawyer in the Cao Wu case! He accepted several commissions in Yuxi Village a few days ago. All the cases are reported for trial together!"

"All the people who came to him were ordinary people who came here because of his reputation! The Meng siblings from Shuangjiang Village sued their grandparents, uncle and aunt for stealing their land and house! That family was so cruel that not only did they leave the siblings homeless, but they also kept forcing the little girl to give up her job in the tea workshop. They even wanted to take away the siblings' livelihood, and they didn't care about their life at all! The old lawyer took the case, good!"

"There are also the old couple from the Dishi Luo family. Their two sons were working in a mine in a neighboring town. The mine collapsed and both of them died inside. After several years, they were unable to seek justice. The mine owner had power and money, and the poor had no place to seek justice. Their family was truly torn apart!"

"There was also the incident in Tianshui Lane in Ma County a while ago. You may not know about it, but I happened to hear about it! A few kids from rich families teased a little beggar, forced him to urinate and pressed a dung bucket... The little beggar was almost killed, and in the end he managed to snatch the dagger from the rich kid and stabbed him in the leg. At that time, there was a big fuss, and people from all over the county went door to door looking for the little beggar, wanting to catch him and beat him to death, but they didn't find him! Hey, I didn't expect him to run to our Wutong Town, and he was very smart, and even went to Yuxi Village to ask the old lawyer for help!"

The people around who heard it were all amazed, and even their eyes turned different when they looked at the old man with his back straight in the hall. They were full of admiration and enthusiasm.

"The old lawyer only takes on disputes, and all of them are cases involving poor people. If he can finally get justice for the wronged, it will be good news! Good news for the common people!"

"Isn't it? If Da Rui could have more people like the old lawyer who could speak up for the poor people, how great would that be?"

"Look at the old lawyer, he is already quite old. I wonder how many more years he can keep working like this? I really hope that good people can live longer..."

The gavel was banged in the hall, and the official ordered the runners to summon those involved in the case to the court.

The case submitted by the old lawyer was directly handled as an exception, without even having to schedule a court hearing.

There were so many people outside the yamen that the small child was squeezed all over the place and couldn't even stand, with his feet hanging in the air due to being clamped by the adults.

Bai Xiang and Jin Duobao struggled to crawl out of the crowd, and sat on the crescent stone next to them, gasping for breath.

After looking at each other, the two kids laughed together.

Today, Lin Jiang delivered medicinal herbs to the town, and happened to meet Old Xu coming to hand in a complaint. Bai Xiang insisted on coming to watch the fun, and Jin Duobao also pestered him to join in.

While the uncle was in the pharmacy, the two kids sneaked over to watch the fun. It was really lively.

Bai Xiang leaned back and stretched his short legs. "Brother Duobao, Grandpa Xu will definitely win, right?"

"Of course, who can beat Grandpa Xu in a fight? The aunties and grandmothers in the village don't dare to yell at Grandpa Xu when they see him, hahaha!" Jin Duobao patted his bulging belly and laughed, "Don't worry, Meng Liu and Meng Yuan will definitely get their fields and houses back, and no one can take their workstations away... In short, Grandpa Xu will definitely win!"

After a pause, Jin Duobao turned his head to look at the little girl.

In the past six months of knowing each other, Baixiang has grown taller than when we first met, with more flesh on his face and a little fat on his chin...

Well, she still looks good, and her smile is quite cheerful, in short, she is likable.

"Bai Xiang, why do you like to help others so much?" Jin Duobao was curious. Bai Xiang was only a little over five years old this year. He didn't know if he was influenced by the customs of his home village, but he seemed to be unable to bear the sufferings of the world.

Whenever I see something unfair, I always pay extra attention to it.

When I see someone in need, I always lend a hand.

Jin Duobao couldn't tell whether this was good or bad, because in Yuanzhou City where he used to live, most of the people he knew liked to avoid trouble.

It is normal to curry favor with the powerful, seek good fortune and avoid misfortune.
