The first county magistrate in history

Except for disaster relief, the rest of the wealth Qin Zheng recently obtained in Liangjin Prefecture was sent to Yangping County by Wu Xiaoyou and handed over to Tian Fuan to build a factory.

Qin Zheng nodded: "Thank you for your hard work. Here is some tea, pour it yourself!"

Wu Xiaoyou was not polite either.

I drank two bowls of tea.

He said, "The plastic product samples are out, and I'm anxious to ask you to take a look, so I haven't prepared any packaging."

As he spoke, he opened the bundle on the table.

Qin Zheng looked over.

It is a set of colorful plastic tea sets.

Qin Zheng smiled: "It looks pretty good."

He picked it up and examined it carefully: "Not bad, it meets the design standards."

Wu Xiaoyou said excitedly, "Great, then we can prepare for production. Next up is the production of plastic tables, chairs, benches, and some plastic building and decorative materials. However, Prefect Tian said that while there are a lot of plastic ore reserves, there aren't many that are transparent. I'm afraid it's unlikely that the plastic-steel glass products you want can be mass-produced, at least with the current purification technology and equipment."

Qin Zheng thought for a moment: "Then we will position plastic-steel glass as a high-end product and sell it at a high price. We will produce as much as we can. And..."

Qin Zheng took out a stack of design drawings from the drawer and handed them to Wu Xiaoyou: "These are the design drawings, technical plans, and marketing plans for plastic steel windows, plastic raincoats, rain boots, umbrellas, and plastic jewelry."

Wu Xiaoyou took it, took a look, and exclaimed: "This is so beautiful!"

Qin Zheng instructed, "Tell Lao Tian that all original color transparent products must be classified as high-end products. Don't give the agency rights to anyone else. Even if you are the agent for other plastic products, don't charge too low a price. When there are more products and the market is saturated, you can lower the price!"

"Yes!" Wu Xiaoyou turned and left.

Qin Zheng warned: "Just send the message via carrier pigeon. Don't run around."

"I understand, sir!" Wu Xiaoyou waved his hand and walked out of the room.

"Miss Xia, are you eavesdropping again?" Wu Xiaoyou looked speechlessly at Xia Mo Ning who was squatting against the wall.

"Hehehe, I'm catching ants!" Xia Mo Ning's pretty face flushed.

Wu Xiaoyou was speechless: "Can't you just find another excuse and lie to me?"

Xia Mo Ning stopped pretending: "My sister asked me to look after Master Qin."

Wu Xiaoyou's face changed slightly, no wonder.

Could it be that the Lord and Miss Xia...

Xia Mo Ning rushed into the house and went straight to the plastic tea set on the table.

"Wow! It's so beautiful!" He said, rolling up the bundle and running with it: "Master Qin, since you have already mass-produced it, give me this sample!"

Qin Zheng didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

He also heard what the girl said just now. It turns out that she is a spy!

I don't really care. I'll just monitor you. I'm not a playboy.

"Sir! She..." Wu Xiaoyou was very angry at the door. I brought it back from far away, and she took it away before I even started using it?

Qin Zheng waved his hand: "Let her be!"

Wu Xiaoyou's eyes narrowed slightly. Did I guess right?

The moment I turned and left, I suddenly felt a little lost...

Not long after Wu Xiaoyou left, the special agent came back: "Sir, Boss Cui and his family have moved away and their whereabouts are unknown!"

Qin Zheng thought to himself, as expected.

Nodding: "I understand, go ahead!"

"Yes!" The special agent left.

Qin Zheng didn't ask anyone to check Boss Cui's whereabouts. There was no need to do that.

He was certain that Boss Cui and Hong Wu were definitely not in the same group, nor were they relatives.

Because it wouldn't be such a coincidence.

Hong Wu couldn't have known before that he would be an imperial envoy and would come to Liangjin on business, so how could she have made arrangements in advance?

Boss Cui had been operating here for many years and had already established a certain foundation. If they were in the same group or relatives, Hongwu would never be willing to give up this stronghold just for a performance.

Boss Cui must have been coerced or bribed by Hong Wu, so he wouldn't know anything.

The investigation was just to confirm that Hongwu approached him for a purpose.

Now it has been confirmed that Hongwu has a purpose, there is no need to confirm it again!

dong dong dong...

Suddenly, there was a sound of drumming outside.

"Beat the drum to appeal for justice?" Qin Zheng was shocked.

Beating drums to complain about grievances must be the people suing the officials!

According to the laws of Daqian, if a citizen sues an official, he will be beaten with twenty sticks regardless of the reason.

Twenty killing sticks, even if you don’t die, you will still lose a layer of skin!

This is the price people pay for suing officials!

Therefore, unless it is a great injustice, no one will beat the drum to complain.

Zhang Shaoyong ran in and said, "Sir, someone is complaining outside."

Qin Zheng asked anxiously, "What case?"

"The person who is complaining is holding a blood petition. According to the law, only an adult can read the blood petition!" Zhang Shaoyong said seriously.

Qin Zheng was shocked: "What a strange injustice?"

Anyone who beats drums and presents blood as a token of injustice will surely suffer an injustice that will be remembered for eternity.

According to the laws of Daqian, those who beat drums to appeal for justice and made false accusations would be torn into pieces by five horses and their entire family would be executed.

Hold a blood petition and beat the drum to appeal for justice. Anyone who makes a false accusation will have his entire clan executed!

If it weren't for the eternal injustice, who would dare to do this?

According to Qin Zheng’s modern understanding, anyone who dares to do this does not need to be tried, as they must have been wronged.

But the law is the law, and he has to follow the procedures.

"Court open!" Qin Zheng stood up.

Zhang Shaoyong hesitated for a moment: "Then, the killing stick..."

"What a bullshit killing stick. Let's try it first." Qin Zheng said.

Zhang Shaoyong breathed a sigh of relief. The complainant was a woman. If he had really beaten her with twenty sticks, she would have been killed immediately.

Zhang Shaoyong hurried to bring people.

The gate of the yamen was crowded with people.

In the court, Qin Zheng sat upright.

On both sides, three squads of yamen runners composed of special agents looked very majestic.

After a while, Zhang Shaoyong led a slender girl into the hall.

"Wei..."

The third shift of yamen runners, as usual, just started to speak.

"Bullshit, forget it, don't scare her!" Qin Zheng shouted.

The three squads of yamen runners were about to utter the word "Wu" but quickly held it back, their faces flushing red from holding it in.

"Hahaha……"

The onlookers burst into laughter.

They are willing to watch Lord Qin try the case.

You talk about wisdom, but there is no method at all in the trial. They hit the nail on the head, and the parties involved are confused and the bystanders are dumbfounded.

It's a complete mess.

You may say it's confusing, but the final result is guaranteed to benefit the people and make them happy.

Qin Zheng looked at the woman.

She was wearing a light green silk skirt, and her figure was light and delicate.

She has a dignified appearance, and a haggard look, but a sense of determination is revealed in her face.

The woman knelt on the ground, holding up the petition in both hands: "I pay my respects to the great judge!"

Qin Zheng said, "Whether you are a judge or not, the public will judge after the case is over. What is your name, where are you from, what is your grievance, and who are you suing?"

"I am Yang Wanting, a commoner from Sheli County. My father, Yang Renpu, the Sheli County Magistrate, was falsely accused of embezzling disaster relief funds and was subsequently dismissed from office. When your Excellency was inspecting Sheli County, my father attempted to lodge a complaint with you, but was instead arrested and imprisoned by Ji Chengzhi, the Censor of Liangjin Prefecture, who will execute him in the coming autumn. I, this commoner, will inform Censor Ji Chengzhi that he has abused his power, engaged in corruption for personal gain, framed and slandered people, and has disregarded human life!"

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a loud bang and the onlookers began to talk.

"Sue Liangjin Censor Ji Chengzhi?" Qin Zheng frowned slightly.

During this period, he has investigated and punished more than 30 officials.

I thought it was almost over, but unexpectedly, another big fish popped up.

"I wonder if Lord Qin dares to punish the Censor, who is a third-rank official!"

"Don't worry, Lord Qin scared the governor into Alzheimer's disease, what else is there to be afraid of?"

"Didn't you see that Lord Qin didn't even hit her with a stick?"

"That's a must. When has Lord Qin ever bullied us ordinary people?"

"Haha, I wonder if Master Qin will make a mistake this time!"

"Don't talk nonsense. That's not called confusion, that's madness. Lord Qin is sick!"

The people were talking loudly.

Qin Zheng heard it all and almost rolled his eyes. You are the ones who are sick.

Yang Wanting felt discouraged when she saw Qin Zheng didn't speak for a long time.

I thought Qin Zheng must be a righteous judge because he didn't hit her with a stick to intimidate her. But it turns out that all crows are evil. This righteous judge was just trying to gain fame and reputation, and didn't dare to investigate the censor.

Thinking of her father being wrongfully imprisoned, Yang Wanting burst into tears.

But at this moment, Qin Zheng said, "Bring up the petition!"

Yang Wanting's body trembled. Is there hope?

Receiving the complaint is equivalent to accepting the case!

You know, she went to the prefectural government office, but when the prefect heard that it involved the Provincial Surveillance Commissioner, he didn't even dare to accept the petition and directly drove her out.

If there hadn't been an imperial envoy stationed in Liangjin Prefecture, the prefect would probably have arrested her.

A bailiff came over, took the petition and presented it to Qin Zheng.

Qin Zheng unfolded the petition and saw the beautiful blood-red handwriting and a bloody smell!
