判官是当地的县太爷，通常引用儒家经典来裁判财产与家庭纠纷。

Magistrates, who were also local officials, often quoted Confucian classics in judging property and family disputes.

信洋教，说洋话，有事情可以一直地找宛平县的县太爷去，要不怎么连官面上都不惹他呢！

Follows their religion, speak their language. Whenever he wants something done he goes straight to the Magistrate of Wanping County. Why else would even officials be afraid of provoking him?
