Chapter 422 Case Trial

Treat everyone equally, no, it is Zhao Hanzhang who is administering justice and is sitting in the front seat with a smile on his face, listening to the people on the left and right of the seat fiercely criticizing each other.

She lowered her head and took a sip of tea, extracting useful information from their quarrel. For example, the person who was having a heated argument with her seventh uncle was not from Xiping, or even from Runan County, but from Lu.

So the question is, what are the people of Lu doing here?

Naturally, he came to Zhao Hanzhang to do business. Hearing that the five counties in Yuzhou were short of food and cloth, the Lu native brought some cloth produced in his own village to sell, and at the same time, he witnessed Zhao's famous winter solstice banquet in Zhongzhou.

"I didn't expect that it is true that the Zhao family is good at business, but the rumored hospitality and courtesy are false. This old man bullies foreigners wantonly because he is the ancestor of the envoy. I am still here to deliver cloth to the envoy. Wouldn’t it be even worse if it were an ordinary traveler?”

When Zhao Hu heard this, he was furious. He immediately slapped the table and stood up. He pointed at the other person's nose and cursed: "Why did I bully you? This is in Xiping, you..."

Zhao Hanzhang coughed twice and said in a gentle voice: "Seventh Uncle, you seem to be angry again, haven't you? We haven't figured out the matter yet, so why do you think you are the one bullying others?"

Lu Ren sneered, "Shijun means that I bullied him?"

He said with a look of humiliation: "If your Majesty thinks so, then I have nothing to say, I...

"Hey, righteous man, wait a minute, don't be in such a hurry, sit down and have a cup of tea first," Zhao Hanzhang said with a smile: "It's true that I am the governor, but this is Runan County, such disputes should be brought to the attention of Magistrate Chang. "

Sanjin, who had been standing, finally found something to say, and immediately said: "It snowed last night. I heard that Sanjiao Village was trapped by the snow, and there were houses inside that were crushed by the snow, so Magistrate Chang went to Sanjiao Village early in the morning."

Zhao Hanzhang nodded and asked, "What about County Sheriff Zhao? If the county magistrate is not here, you can still file a complaint to the county governor's office."

Moreover, Zhao Ming is so suitable. He is still in charge of family affairs, and Zhao Hu is afraid of him.

Sanjin lowered his head and said, "Minglangjun is not here either. I heard that he went out early in the morning for something."

Zhao Hanzhang turned his eyes to the left, and Fan Ying stepped forward and whispered: "Zhao County Sheriff wants to see the iron mine again, He Heng takes him there."

The large iron mine owned by the He family was in Runan County. Although Zhao Hanzhang wanted to hold it personally and appointed someone to manage it, as long as the mine was in Runan County, it must have something to do with Zhao Ming, the county governor.

Zhao Hanzhang did not shy away from Zhao Ming on this matter, and was very willing to share some of his rights with him.

The main reason is that she has limited talents on hand, and she has to rely on him for some things in the iron mine.

Zhao Ming did not shirk. He felt that there would be no major events in the county governor's house in the next few days, and Zhao Hanzhang could handle it, so he patted his butt and took He Heng to inspect the iron mine again.

It is such a coincidence that the person currently calling the shots in Xiping has become Zhao Hanzhang.

Of course, she could shirk it. Even the county lieutenant could handle such a small case, so there was no need to report it to her. The reason was that the two people involved had some special identities and it was difficult for the county lieutenant to handle it due to his feelings. , just waiting for her to set the tone.

One is an elder in her clan, and the other is a nobleman from outside the country who came to help her. Which side will the county captain prefer?

Of course, the county captain wanted to favor Zhao Hu. After all, the county magistrate was not as good as the current governor. This was the Zhao family's territory, and Zhao Hu was the uncle of the governor.

But considering Zhao Hanzhang's personality and character, the county lieutenant did not dare to do this, so the case was pushed to Zhao Hanzhang.

Because he felt that even if he made an impartial judgment, things would not be good.

Now Zhao Hanzhang feels the county captain's embarrassment. Judging from the current situation of the two of them, even if the county captain makes a fair verdict, the two of them will probably be unconvinced with each other. As long as the parties involved think that the judge is biased, then this matter In the eyes of the world, there is a bias. It is just a matter of debate over who is biased.

Zhao Hanzhang gently tapped her knee, so how this case was decided showed her attitude towards her relatives and other noble families.

This will directly affect the clan's view of her and the views of the talents who come to seek refuge.

Zhao Hanzhang raised his lips, this case really turned out wonderfully.

She smiled and said: "It's such an unfortunate coincidence that neither the county magistrate nor the county warden is here. In that case, I will decide this case. Have you two decided to appeal?"

The other party was stunned, but Zhao Hu had already shouted loudly: "Sue! I will sue now!"

Zhao Hanzhang nodded and said: "Okay, the yamen has its own set of regulations. Fan Ying, you can act as my master today."

Fan Ying agreed, asked her servants to place pens and papers on her desk, and then began to polish ink and wait.

Zhao Hanzhang smiled and asked the two of them, "Please tell me your place of birth and name first."

Lu Ren: ...Has he been arguing with Zhao Hu here for a long time just now in vain?

Although Zhao Hanzhang did not ask them to get up and reply according to the rules, he still let them sit at the table with a smile, and even turned to ask the maid next to her to come down and give them more tea. However, Lu Ren met Zhao Hanzhang's cold eyes and did not dare to object. She said bylaws.

So he paused and then said: "I'm in the next room, a native of Lu..."

Zhao Hanzhang leaned forward and listened carefully. After he finished introducing himself, he smiled gently at him and then looked at Zhao Hu.

Zhao Hu stared at her.

Zhao Hanzhang said to Fan Ying in an obedient manner: "This is the seventh prince of the Zhao family. His native place is here in Xiping. Please note it down."

Fan Ying smiled and bowed: "Yes."

Fang Jing: ...Is the partiality so obvious?

Zhao Hanzhang asked Fan Ying to remember it. She turned around and asked, "Why are you fighting?"

Although he had already said it once, Zhao Hu was still very excited and the conversation was still lively. He was about to speak directly. Zhao Hanzhang suddenly smiled and pointed at Fang Jing and said, "Fang Jing will tell you."

Zhao Hu pursed his lips somewhat unhappily, but because it was Zhao Hanzhang who appointed him, he did not speak again, but sat in his seat depressedly.

Fang Jing swallowed and felt nervous under Zhao Hanzhang's gaze. He said: "At that time, I took a fancy to a house made entirely of colored glaze in Zhenbao Pavilion. The guy said it was called the Glass Flower House. Now there is only a team of masters. I could make it, so I placed an order and hired a master to do it. Unexpectedly, Mr. Zhao Qi suddenly stopped and wanted to build the glass greenhouse first before me."

He said: "To be honest with you, if it were other things, I would give in, but the reason why I want to build a glass flower house is because I have a batch of rare flowers in my hands, including several pots of precious orchids. We don’t want to let them freeze, so we are eager to build a greenhouse, so this matter must not be allowed."

Zhao Hanzhang nodded slightly, turned around and asked Zhao Hu, who was already angry, "Does Seventh Uncle agree?"

"I agree with you, it's obviously the Treasure Pavilion that I advanced, and the glass flower house that I asked about first, I also placed the order first!"

Fang Jing was unhappy and said: "Mr. Zhao Qi, I was the one who placed the order first. I paid the deposit. Did you give it?"

Zhao Hu blushed, and Zhao Hanzhang hurriedly reached out to stop the two of them, and said with a smile: "Whatever the situation is, just the guy from Chuan Zhenbao Pavilion will do."
