As soon as the big drum in front of the Yamen was beaten by Zou Jiang, many people immediately gathered around.

Many people on the street of the county government knew Zou Jiang. When they saw him playing drums to express his grievances, they hurriedly asked: "Steward Zou, what grievances do you have?"

"Yes, Butler Zou, you are a popular person next to the county magistrate. If you have any grievances, you can just tell the county magistrate directly. Do you still need to go to the Yamen to play drums?"

Although Zou Xiancheng was cuckolded by his son and his aunt and his whole family were runaway slaves, which made him the biggest laughing stock in the county in the past hundred years, he still had his official position and was able to redress Zou Jiang's grievances.

Zou Jiang threw away the drum hammer in his hand, looked at the crowd and shouted: "The person I want to sue is Zou Youlian!"

"Zou Youlian, who is it?"

An older man thought for a while and exclaimed: "Hey, it's Zou County Cheng!"

"What? Zou Youlian is Zou County Cheng?"

"This is really new. Zou Xiancheng's confidant is suing Zou Xiancheng."

"Zou County Cheng must have committed an offense against Tai Sui. A man named Zhong Junwang came to sue him two months ago."

"What does that person named Zhong do? The Zhong family is dead. Now it is Butler Zou who is suing Prime Minister Zou... Hey, Butler Zou, what are you suing Prime Minister Zou? Hurry up and tell us."

They were almost dying of curiosity about this strange news that was rare in a century. They couldn't sleep at night unless they asked clearly.

Zou Jiangdao: "I want to accuse Zou Youlian of corruption, perverting the law, seeking wealth and killing, engaging in malpractice for personal gain, cheating in imperial examinations, and treating people as unworthy..."

Everyone present was stunned. With so many charges, Zou County Cheng was definitely dead this time!

As soon as these charges came out, the whole street was in a state of excitement. Everyone rushed to complain, spreading the news about Zou Jiang's lawsuit against Zou Xiancheng to everyone in the county.

As soon as Master Shao learned the news, he immediately went to inform Zou County Cheng.

Zou Xiancheng was still recovering at home. When he heard Master Shao's words, he turned pale with fright and fell off the bed.

Master Shao and Master Cao immediately came over to help him up.

Master Cao said: "Sir, please hold on, if you have any good intentions..."

"Shut up!" Master Shao scolded Master Cao. This man surnamed Cao is too poor at talking. Do you want to make Zou Xiancheng angry to death by saying this?

Sure enough, Zou Xiancheng stared at Master Cao with blazing eyes, which frightened Master Cao to the point of pleading guilty: "Sir, please calm down, I am unintentional, I am just too worried about you."

With a bang, as soon as Zou County Cheng sat down on the bed, he immediately kicked Master Cao. After expressing his anger, he asked: "I asked you to stare at Zou Jiang. How did you do it? You actually asked him to sue. official!"

Master Cao was wronged: "The younger one has been staring at Zou Jiang every day for the past two months, but when he goes out, he either goes to help the adults or goes to the bookstore and medical clinic. The younger brother has also checked the people he has come into contact with, and there is no problem with any of them. .”

He was really wronged and had no idea why Zou Jiang suddenly went crazy and sued Zou Xiancheng.

"There must be something wrong, it must be!" Zou Xiancheng knew that Master Cao must have been deceived by Zou Jiang, but Zou Jiang had been to many places in the past two months, and now he was burning his butt to investigate. To no avail.

"What is Zou Jiang suing me for?" Zou Xiancheng calmed down after his anger and asked Master Shao.

Master Shao repeated what Zou Jiang said at the yamen gate.

After hearing this, Zou Xiancheng breathed a sigh of relief. He was not accused of colluding with the water bandits except for murder, corruption and corruption... It seemed that Zou Jiang had no evidence that he colluded with the water bandits.

At this moment, Zou County Cheng was very happy. Fortunately, when Zou Jiang suspected that he bribed the water bandits to kill Aunt Lu, he did not admit it and quickly sent Cripple Liu away. Otherwise, it would be difficult for him to stand up now. .

but……

"Oh, a domestic slave dares to sue me. I will let him know today whether he is a human or a dog!" Zou Xiancheng said to Master Shao and Master Cao: "Take the nurse to the county government and arrest him. Take the escaped slave Zou Jiang!"

Zou Jiang is really stupid. After being a slave for so many years, he still treats himself as a human being. Doesn't he know that a slave cannot sue his master? When people sue an official, they must first hit twenty boards with a cane. How does Zou Jiang, a slave, have the right to sue his master?

"Yes, sir!" Master Shao and Master Cao responded, and they immediately left Zou County Cheng's yard and summoned the nursing staff to go to the county government office to arrest Zou Jiang.

Zou Yuzhen already knew that Zou Xiancheng had contact with the water bandits. In the past two months, he had been trying to get in touch with the water bandits so that he could use the water bandits to kill Qin Guluotian's family.

He has been blaming the Qin Gu Luotian family for the collapse of the Lu family, the murder of Aunt Lu, and the fact that he was hated by Zou County Prime Minister. He has been planning how to kill those families, but he has not followed Shui yet. When the bandits contacted him, they heard that Zou Jiang had sued Zou County Cheng.

Zou Yuzhen was so worried that he hurriedly called his personal servant and asked: "Your uncle and the others went to arrest Zou Jiang? What happened to Zou Jiang? Why did he suddenly sue my father?"

Although he hates the old man and wishes he would die soon, if the old man is accused and the charges are proven, his son will also be implicated. Therefore, the old man can die, but he will never be convicted.

The boy replied: "Uncle said that Zou Jiang is a slave and he has no right to sue the master."

The boy's reply was less respectful and more impatient... Zou Yuzhen had been completely disliked by Zou County Prime Minister because of Aunt Lu's incident. He could not get anything out of Zou Yuzhen, and now he was begging his uncle to take him away. Work somewhere else.

Zou Yuzhen narrowed his eyes and gave the young man a gloomy look. He didn't say anything, but he held a grudge in his heart. He was waiting for me. When I gain power, you slaves who look down on me will all die. !

"Well, you go and keep an eye on it. If there is any new news from your uncle, come and report it to me." Zou Yuzhen said.

"Yes, Third Master." The boy casually called a thousand, turned around and left.

Master Shao and Master Cao rushed to the gate of the county government office angrily, pointing at Zou Jiang who was still counting Zou County Cheng's crimes and said angrily: "Come on, take this escaped slave back!"

The Zou family nurse immediately rushed towards Zou Jiang.

Luo Wu and the others had been waiting for a long time. When they saw this, they immediately rushed over with the government officials and stopped the Zou family to protect the courtyard: "Stop, this is the center of the government office. You are shouting about beating and killing because you want to be punished for disturbing the county government office." ?!"

Master Shao frowned... Zou Jiang had been making trouble here for two-quarters of an hour. No one in the yamen stopped Zou Jiang, leaving Zou Jiang to complain at the yamen gate. Now that they came to arrest him, the yamen servants came immediately. Needless to say, I know it must have been ordered by County Magistrate Xu.

Master Shao took two steps forward, stood with his hands behind his back, and looked at Luo Wudao: "Zou Jiang is a slave of the Zou family. Today he came to sue the master privately. He is regarded as a runaway slave. The Zou family has the right to capture his runaway slaves. This matter Erluo Yamen can't control it, and neither can the county magistrate."

After hearing this, the onlookers said one after another: "This master is right. The master's arrest of the slave is a private matter, and the Yamen really has nothing to do with it."

When Master Shao heard this, he looked at Zou Jiang and said with a smile: "Steward Zou, come back with me. For the sake of you serving him for decades, Mr. Zou will definitely be lenient and not let you suffer too much." .”

Zou Jiang looked at Master Shao's proud smile and asked: "Shao, are you so sure that I am a slave of the Zou family? Do you know that if you wrongfully accuse a good person of being a slave, you will be charged with forcing a good person to be a slave? This crime is yours Can you afford it?”

Master Shao frowned, what did Zou Jiang mean?

Isn't Zou Jiang a slave?

It's impossible. Zou Jiang has been a slave of the Zou family for many years. It's impossible for him to become a good member in an instant.
