Chapter 116 Compensation
Cheng Wenwen brought this group of people to the Beijing government office and then struck the gongs and drums outside the government office.
Someone from the government office came out immediately, and was a little surprised when he saw such a large group of people.
"What are you doing?"
This scene made the officers alert, fearing that this group of people were here to cause trouble.
Cheng Wenwen walked over from the gongs and drums and said, "Sir, we are here to ask you to judge a case! These hooligans pretended to be officials and came to my store to make a scene, breaking everything in my store. We are bringing them to see the official."
"Fake officials?" The officials from the Beijing government looked at the people who were knocked unconscious, and they were also a little confused.
I couldn't help but think that it was really bold of people to pretend to be officials in the capital these days.
However, are these people really fake?
Looking at the people who were knocked unconscious, the officials from the Beijing government immediately shook their heads. How could such stupid people be real officials?
"Okay, I'll go report to the Lord, you guys wait outside first."
Cheng Wenwen nodded and waited for the officer to come back and call her in.
But she was not idle. She said to everyone, "You all helped me a lot. Now you are all waiting outside. Those who helped just now can go to Xiulan and write down your names. I will reward you later. Those who didn't help can also write down their names. I said that from now on, I will give you a 50% discount in my store!"
"Yeah!"
"Boss Cheng is indeed a man of his word."
Everyone was happy and went to Xiulan to write down their names.
Xiulan said, "Everyone come one by one, don't crowd, everyone will get a share!"
Everyone was pushing each other, and although it was a bit messy, we were able to get the process going.
The door of the imperial court opened immediately, and then an official came out and said, "Bring them all in!"
"Yes!"
Cheng Wenwen followed him in.
Most cases in the capital government are open to the public. With so many people at the door, it is inevitable that some curious people will follow in and want to hear the results.
As a result, there were suddenly more people in the capital government today.
The prefect was also shocked when he saw this scene.
"What's going on today? Why are there so many people listening in?"
"It seems that these people pretended to be police officers and broke into someone's store, which aroused public anger, so everyone came together to arrest them."
"Oh! So that's it! How dare you pretend to be an official." The prefect slammed the table and said, "Wake these people up! I want to question them thoroughly."
"It's my lord!"
The officers immediately splashed water on those people, and they woke up soon after.
"Where is this?"
"Why are we in court?"
"Sir, these unruly people actually dared to attack the police. You have to help us!"
The officers immediately started crying.
Cheng Wenwen said quickly before the master could speak: "Master! They are fakes. They came to my store and smashed things for no reason. I asked them why, and they even beat up the shopkeeper. They said they just smashed things for no reason. How can they be officials with such behavior? Isn't this discrediting the officials?"
The prefect in the hall nodded immediately after hearing this and said, "Yes! Such behavior is not what an official would do. You thieves actually dare to discredit the officials of the court! Why don't you confess quickly!"
"Sir, we are real. If you don't believe me, just look at our badges! We are patrol officers of the city, specializing in patrolling the shops in the market."
These people took out their badges one after another to show their identities.
When the prefect saw it, he immediately frowned.
"Are you really the mayor? Why are you smashing people's shops for no reason?"
"We are not unprovoked. It is their shop that violates the rules and sells prohibited items privately. And this group of unruly people attacked us one by one. Your Excellency must arrest them all!"
"Unruly people?" The prefect looked at the group of people outside. There were so many of them, how could they be caught?
"Sir, don't listen to their nonsense. This badge must be fake, or it must be stolen. How can an official behave like this? If we don't punish them, we, the people, will have a shadow on the officials and think that all officials are as bullies as them."
"This……"
The prefect took the badges and looked at them carefully, and found that they were indeed authentic.
"Sir, these people are just troublemakers. You should put them all in jail. Otherwise, how can you teach them a lesson?"
"That's right, sir. They almost beat us to death just now. We can't let them off this time!"
After these people shouted like this, the people outside began to talk about it.
"What should we do? Did we call the wrong number?"
"Impossible! With their bullying behavior, how could they be real officials? They must be fake."
"But what if it's true? What if they come out to retaliate against us? Or we should just leave."
"Let's go."
"..."
Some people were scared, but the case was not over yet and they could not enter or leave freely, so they had no choice but to stay here.
Cheng Wenwen continued, "Sir! They are fake! If they are real, they must produce documents from the government and evidence that there is something wrong with our store before they can act. Who smashed our store right away? Is this how the government handles cases?"
"Yes! Everyone, please give us your judgment. Is it right for the government to handle a case this way?" Someone suddenly shouted in the crowd.
Everyone started talking.
"Yes, the government can't act like such a bully!"
"That's right, this isn't an official! This is a bully!"
"Yeah, he even beats women, he doesn't look like a good person!"
"..."
When the prefect heard the public outcry outside, his face suddenly darkened and he looked at these people.
"Go to the Municipal Command Bureau to verify their true identities! Even if they are really officials, you can't do this. You should pay the compensation. If they are not officials, then you can expect to go to jail!"
Although they are all government officials, the guest prefect is unwilling to get himself into trouble for such a few small people! The sentence should be whatever he wants.
Unexpectedly, after the people sent out came back, they actually told the prefect: "Sir, they are not official officials, they are just temporarily hired to patrol the streets! They rely on this status to act so tyrannically!"
"So that's what's going on! You guys are so brave! Come on, grab the sticks and beat them hard!"
"Sir, please spare us! We are really the mayor's officials!"
These people panicked immediately, not understanding what was going on? Why were they no longer officials?
It turned out that the mayor learned that the matter had become a big deal, so he hurriedly distanced himself from it and was unwilling to acknowledge the identities of these people.
They were beaten with sticks and complained bitterly.
Cheng Wenwen didn't expect that she could actually handle such a thing, and she couldn't help but have a new understanding of herself.
"Sir, they should compensate for the losses in my store!"
