As soon as these words came out, there was no sound inside and outside the court!

Counting the more than 100 officials who maintained order and the more than 1,000 ordinary people who were watching, they suddenly fell silent, and everyone stared at them, all stupid!

A second.

Three seconds.

Five seconds.

Finally, a very young lady in the onlookers stared at the ground with a "smack", and a foul word squirted out of her mouth unabashedly!

Then, one after another screams came out!

"Oh my God!"

"What did Wang Zhizhou just say?"

"Can anyone repeat that? I don't seem to hear clearly!"

"That's right, the yamen is twenty miles away from Huajia Village, how did the officials arrive within twenty minutes? It's just that as a magistrate, he can say such things without shielding his subordinates at all?

"This is disgrace to the court and the government!"

"Do you want to be so exciting?"

"Why did he dare to say that?"

"It's the first time I've seen an official act like this!"

"If the emperor knows about it, will he feel disgraced?"

Having said that, the people were already faintly excited, feeling that this Zhizhou was really a little different.

Chen Siqing, who was sitting in the front row, had already slapped his forehead, "It's over." ”

The squire of the criminal department almost spit out a mouthful of old blood, the wisdom of the court and the government is going to be ruined today!

Zeng Huan and other officials in Tongzhou Jinghai had dark eyes, and many people were almost frightened by Wang Chen's words, Wang Zhizhou, don't make trouble, really don't make trouble!

In the imperial history, Cheng Du was about to curse, and looked at Fan Mingou at a glance, "Fan Caosi, look at your subordinates, these words are embarrassing the face of our court and government!"

Fan Mingou blinked, "Jinghai is not under my control now. ”

Yu Shi Zhongcheng was so angry that his face turned green, and when he thought about it, it seemed to be really like that.

Judge Zhou: "......"

Ding signed the judgment: "......"

Other Jinghai officials: "......"

and the officials, all of them were blinded.

Because what Wang Chen said was really ...... It's a bit too much, something like this about officials protecting each other, if it is not for political enemies to fight each other, even if it is true, generally speaking, it is investigated and dealt with in private, who said it openly in front of more than a thousand ordinary people like Wang Chen!

Especially these officials are likely to be the people of the Jinghai Prefecture Ya now!

Don't you want any face?

One of the officials of Dali Temple couldn't help but shout: "Wang Zhizhou, don't talk nonsense!" It is not easy for Lao Zhao to run a face for the imperial court, all kinds of people are close to the people, yes, you Wang Chen is like this, and the business of more than 20 years is ruined.

Wang Chen looked at him, "Let me ask, are we trying a case or are we making a joke?" Since it is a trial, it is natural to present evidence, since I dare to say it, there must be evidence, or you will be the presiding judge?"

No matter what Wang Chen said, today he is the presiding judge, especially in terms of procedures, there is no mistake, he is indeed adducing evidence, and others really have nothing to say, even if the official of Dali Temple is very angry, he did not say anything again.

Wang Chen, who uttered this "earth-shattering" remark, seemed very calm and casual, as if he didn't feel that he had done anything wrong, and said to everyone: "I know that saying these words will damage the face of the government and the imperial court, but as the chief judge, what I have to do is to make a case come to light, otherwise how can I be worthy of the 13 members of the dead Hua family? How can I be worthy of the 230,000 Li people in Tongzhou? How can I be worthy of the people of the world?" Even if the court dismisses me at the end of the trial, as long as I am worthy of the conscience of heaven and earth, I, Wang Chen, would rather 'go my own way'!"

Do you hesitate to dismiss your post?

Just to get justice for the deceased?

What a noble man you are!

At first, they thought that Wang Chen was trying to protect his own family workers, but they didn't expect that not long after the trial had just been tried, the newly appointed Wang Zhizhou began to use "his own people", but they didn't fully trust it, and felt that they had to see whether it was to sacrifice some people in exchange for Leng Yan's safety, or Wang Chen was really selfless, and finally it depended on the evidence, but at this time, everyone was not as indignant as at the beginning, but faintly with a little expectation.

Wang Chen ordered the five officials to be brought up.

Not long after, the officials who "discovered" Leng Yan as the murderer were brought in.

Wang Chen looked at the five of them, asked the question just now, and then said, "Let's talk about it, how did you get to Huajia Village within a stick of incense?"

Several officials glanced at each other, and one of them said respectfully: "That day, we happened to inspect Huajia Village, and when we heard a shout in front of us, we rushed over, and we happened to see the criminal Leng Shi coming out of the sword from the inside, and we saw a large amount of blood stains inside, so we decided that he was the murderer." ”

Wang Chen smiled and said, "Just inspect Huajia Village?"

The fat man confirmed, "Yes." ”

Wang Chen bowed slightly, and said: "Not to mention whether you happened to inspect Huajia Village, let me ask you a few doubts, first of all, when you arrived at Huajia Village, twelve of the thirteen members of the Hua family had been dead for at least half an hour, and I have the records of the autopsy here." He reached out and picked up the autopsy report on the table and raised it, "And the rest of the third sister Hua died almost when you entered the village, but at that time she had been stabbed for more than half an hour, bleeding nonstop, and her body was extremely weak, how could you shout out the voice you could hear?"

"This ......," the fat servant was speechless for a moment.

The others were also stunned for a moment, uh, if it is according to the autopsy report, it seems that it is really like that, even if Hua Sanmei shouts, it is not so loud.

The remaining four officials also didn't think of this at once, and wanted to quibble, but the time was too short to think of how to answer.

"In other words, you are lying, the real situation is not like this at all!" Wang Chen looked coldly, did not criticize too directly, but continued: " In addition, I checked the inspection records of the county government at that time, and it was indeed the five of you who were responsible for inspecting Huajia Village that day, but the time point of the crime was in the afternoon, and your inspection time should be in the morning, and in the afternoon, your inspection location should be in Xiaoshi Village, which is four miles away from Huajia Village, and the walking speed of people is about seven to eight miles an hour, and it is about half an hour from the time when the crime occurred to you to Huajia Village, isn't it just the time when the real murderer walked to Xiaoshi Village to meet you, and then you rushed to Huajia Village? So I'm pretty sure you're lying!"

The analysis is well-founded.

Fan Mingou raised his head, "Huh?"

Zeng Huan also sighed, suddenly put away the emotions he wanted to complain about before, and became interested, he wanted to hear how Wang Chen solved the case.

These suspicions were all negligent on their part before, mainly because all the evidence pointed to Leng Yan, which was so conclusive that they thought that they should not investigate again, and no one paid attention to the fact that there would be problems with a few officials who found the "murderer".

But the point of view of "guarding and stealing" put forward by Wang Chen is really like that!

……

Outermost.

The commotion was heard.

The outermost circle of people couldn't hear what was being said inside.

"Huh, what's the mess in there?"

"What's going on? There's a new development in the case?"

"Could it be that Wang Zhizhou is really playing favoritism, right?

"Probably not, so many people are staring, and it is said that there are also high-ranking officials from the capital, but why are they shocked?"

The crowd was itching and desperate to know what's going on inside.

It's just that they can't squeeze in at all, the water in front of them is already impassable, and they can't know the situation in the public hall for the time being.

Only those who were close to the inside knew that Wang Chen had made the greatest progress in the case just now.

It's dark under the lights!

Sure enough, it's dark under the lights!

Who would have thought that there was a problem with the officials who enforced the law? But Wang Chen noticed it!

Standing in the public hall, looking at the surprised faces of the people outside and the group of officials and lords sitting inside, Wang Chen subconsciously straightened his waist, feeling that this moment was extremely solemn and a little honored. The reason why he was able to notice what others didn't notice was because he knew from the beginning that the murderer was not Leng Yan, but Wang Shimei, the head of Wang Shimei, and after that, Wang Chen used death threats to make Wang Shimei confide the truth, so as to learn how Wang Shimei hid the truth after the murder, how could the truth confided by the real murderer be fake?

Nowhere to hide!

"We were lazy and derelict in the morning, and we only went in the afternoon. One of the thin men was in a hurry.

Wang Chen had a smile on his face, "Really?"

The thin man was already terrified in his heart, but this kind of thing can't be admitted, once admitted, they are all accomplices, and they will be sent to the border to fill the army, "Yes, we are derelict in our duties, if you want to punish because of this, we admit it." ”

Everyone looked over.

Wang Chen looked at him and didn't speak, "Witness witnesses in Huajia Village and Xiaoshi Village. ”

Although the word eyewitness is relatively new, everyone understands what it means.

The officials at the scene immediately went to call someone.

In a short time, four or five people came up, three women in their forties, a young man and an old man.

Wang Chen looked at Lao Suo, "Uncle Hua, you are the head of Huajia Village, do you remember when the officials inspected your village on November 2 last year?"

Lao Su arched his hand, "Back to Zhizhou, I remember that I was eating with Bei Nei at that time, and it was close to noon. ”

Wang Chen turned to the young man and said, "Brother Shi, it is said that at that time, a servant took the two carps you just caught from the river?"

"Yes. The young man pointed to the fat servant: "That's him." ”

The fat servant's face darkened, and he said with a slight threat: "You can eat indiscriminately, you can't talk nonsense, Shi Ming, you have to think about it carefully!"

The young man seemed to be a little afraid of the other party's retribution and did not dare to speak.

Wang Chen immediately said: "Brother Shi, don't be afraid, this official is your strong backing, you tell the situation carefully." ”

The young man hesitated, gritted his teeth and said: "I remember that it was the beginning of Shen Shichu, I just caught two big crucian carp from the river, and I was going to make up for the family that had just given birth to a child, but after a few of their officials saw it, they snatched it hard, and the fat man also threatened me that if I didn't give it, when I went back to plant rice, let Li Zhengshui finally release it to my family." ”

What the?

Still threaten with water conservancy?

These officials are too much!

Many people showed angry looks, especially the ordinary people outside, they all knew how important the water conservancy of farming was, it was the foundation of life, and the fat servants were too much!

Wang Chen snorted coldly, "Someone in Huajia Village saw that the five of you went to inspect from midnight to noon in the morning, and you were in Xiaoshi Village at the beginning of Shen Shichu in the afternoon, and according to the autopsy records made by Shen, the thirteen members of the Hua family should have been killed by Shen Shichu, and you arrived in the middle of Shen Shi, and there is no difference with what I just deduced, and you said that you have nothing to do with the murderer?"

The five officials were shocked, but they refused to admit it, and they quibbled.

At this time, even Chen Siqing of Dali Temple was silent, he knew that everyone was likely to be wronged by Leng Yan.

Wang Chen didn't pay any attention to the five servants, and instead looked at one of the middle-aged women, "Ling Fei, do you know her?" he pointed at Leng Yan.

The woman in the linen dress bowed down and said: "Yes, everyone in our Huajia village knows that Leng Gong once had an agreement with Hua Weng, and the two of them will give birth to men and women to become husband and wife, and give birth to two men to become brothers.

Wang Chen said with a smile: "Then on the day of the crime, when did you see Little Lady Leng go to Huajia Village?"

The woman in the linen dress carefully recalled, "It seems that the sun is just setting in the west, about the middle of the hour." ”

Everyone's eyes widened, and Shen Shi was in the middle?

Secretary Xu Zhang shouted: "Isn't that one after the other with the officials who found out that she was the murderer?"

The manager of Jinghai Prefecture got up and said with a solemn face: "The time of the post-mortem examination in the Hua family, except for Hua Sanmei, the time of death of the others was about the beginning of Shen Shichu, so she is not a murderer!"

"How can you win the trust of a family?" Chen Siqing frowned and said, "Is she the only witness?"

Wang Chen shook his head and looked at the other two women, "You also saw the cold little lady, right?"

One of the women in a long white dress said: "Yes, I was planting vegetables that day, and Mrs. Leng also helped me carry a bucket of water. ”

The rest of the women responded: "Although the cold little lady is not smiling on weekdays, but she is a warm-hearted person, I fell at the door at that time, and my left arm was cut by a reed, or she applied gold sore medicine for me." As she spoke, she stretched out her left arm and lifted her sleeve, revealing a scar, "You see, it's deep, if she hadn't stopped the bleeding for me in time, maybe the old woman would have to see Lang Zhong spend money in vain." ”

Several witnesses testified in one fell swoop, and the facts of the case immediately became clear.

Wang Chen looked at the five officials fiercely, and said angrily: "You still don't tell the truth!?"

"Wronged. ”

"Zhizhou, we were wronged. ”

"We really don't know what's going on. ”

Several officials still refused to admit it.

Yes, now it has been proved that Leng Yan is indeed not a murderer, but she is not completely out of suspicion, after all, many people know that she is agile, maybe kill people first, and then create a false impression.

So I want to completely clear my grievances for Leng Yan, unless the real murderer is found out.

"So it seems that the cold little lady has nothing to do with the case?" many people showed hesitant looks, "So who is the murderer?"

Wang Chen seemed to hear what they were saying, and stretched out his hand to point at Wang Shimei who was standing there, "The murderer is him!

Wang Shimei shouted again: "Wronged, Wang Zhizhou, I have no grievances with the Hua family, and the third sister of Hua almost became my concubine, why should I kill her?"

The middle-aged woman in the linen cloth confirmed earlier: "He and Hua Xiaoniang do correspond often, I heard Hua Weng say that he will be married." ”

Zeng Huan looked puzzled.

The same is true of many other officials, yes, Wang Shimei has no motive to kill.

Wang Chen was laughing," Yes, you do have a lot of relationship with Hua Sanmei, but people have never said that you want to be your concubine, according to my inference, Hua Sanmei thinks that you are not married, and wants to be your wife, but in fact, you already have a family, she does not want to be a concubine, so she wants to cut off contact with you, you are unwilling, several times to persuade to no avail, and finally chased to the Hua family, wanting to rape Hua Sanmei, let her become your woman, but Hua Sanmei did not agree, and angered you in the resistance, so you drew a sword and stabbed into her heart, causing Hua Laozhang and others outside to rush to hear the sound, you were frightened, and did not do two endlessly, and killed all the thirteen members of the Hua family！”

Everyone: "......"

Chen Siqing was also speechless, "This ......"

Wang Zhizhou, are you making up a story? And this story is so clumsy?

Where is Wang Shimei willing to admit it, "No, Wang Zhizhou, you have wronged me! I and Hua Sanmei are extremely affectionate, she already knew that I had a family, otherwise how could I enter her house?"

Wang Chen asked rhetorically: "Is it? Then why was your left arm stabbed by Hua Sanmei's hairpin? I still have Hua Sanmei's iron hairpin stabbed by you, you lift up the sleeve of your left arm, and let everyone see if there is an iron hairpin that stabbed you." ”

Vozh.

You don't even know if someone is injured or not?

You must know that there is no proof of this kind of thing, except for Hua Sanmei and Wang Shimei, can others know?

Zeng Huan's eyes widened.

Secretary Xu Zhang was stunned when he heard this.

Wang Shimei is still denying, "I was stabbed in the arm, but not by Hua Sanmei's hairpin, but by the cheap, don't believe it, you can call my Hun family to confront me, why do you say that I was stabbed by Hua Sanmei?"

"That's right. ”

"Why?"

"People can call his wife to prove it." ”

A few people nodded.

Wang Chen walked to the presiding table with a smile, opened the wooden box, took out a rusty iron hairpin from it, and held it high: "This is the physical evidence I collected, it is the hairpin used by Hua Sanmei, you see, this iron hairpin is a little different from the ordinary hairpin, it has three holes, Wang Shimei, you roll up your sleeves and see if your wound marks match this hairpin?"

"Huh?"

"Oh my God!"

"Isn't it?"

Everyone was stunned.

You can find this hairpin? Didn't the murderer clean up the scene?

Wang Chen was still talking, and said: "Of course, only an iron hairpin can't prove anything, that day, after you killed someone, you were covered in blood, and it was impossible to go out directly, so you changed into Hua Laozhang's clothes, but you are tall, Hua Laozhang is relatively short, and you will inevitably look different in length when you wear his clothes." He looked over and said, "I happen to have a witness who saw what you were wearing that day, and I passed on the blacksmith!"

The reason why he didn't force Wang Shimei to roll up his sleeves was because it was unnecessary, and more than two months had passed, and the wound marks might not be right.

If you want to solve the mystery, you have to prove it.

Blacksmith Chen, who melted the murder weapon and sword for Wang Shimei, is the best witness, Wang Chen is not prepared to waste too much time, so he directly declares the witness in.

And Wang Chen knows in his heart that no matter how he adduces evidence, Wang Shimei will definitely deny it desperately and will not admit it, which can be seen from the fact that he shot with a gun in the warehouse that day, Wang Shimei belongs to the kind of person who does not shed tears when he does not see the coffin, and it is impossible for him to kill Wang Shimei in the court as a threat, so he can only go on like this.

This way.

Chen Siqing, who was originally very disdainful of Wang Chen's trial, suddenly became solemn.

and many officials who were disdainful of Wang Chen before, also quieted.

It is true that they still can't know who Wang Shimei and Leng Yan are the murderers, but after Wang Chen gave some evidence, they found that the case was getting clearer and clearer.

……

There was a brief silence.

"Is it really Wang Shimei?"

"It's unlikely, Hua Sanmei almost became his concubine. ”

"Yes, Wang Shimei has no reason to kill the other party. ”

Many people think that since Wang Shimei dares to admit the relationship with Hua Sanmei in a grand manner, and dares to move his wife out as a witness, there must be no problem in this regard.

The people of the Song Dynasty are more afraid of guilt, and they dare to admit such a thing as a concubine, Wang Shimei's wife is still willing to be a witness, how can there be a problem?

So until Wang Chen completely solved the doubts, everyone remained skeptical.

Fortunately, Blacksmith Chen was brought in.

Wang Shimei's face turned pale when she saw Blacksmith Chen.

Wang Chen looked at Blacksmith Chen and asked, "Do you remember him?"

Blacksmith Chen, who was five short statures, looked at Wang Shimei and said with a smile: "I remember, he came to my shop a year ago to melt an iron sword, and then asked me to reforge an identical one for him. ”

Everyone looked at Blacksmith Chen.

Wang Chen continued to ask: "Then do you remember what kind of clothes he wore that day?"

"If it were a different person, I probably wouldn't remember. Blacksmith Chen said with a serious face: "At that time, I remember that it was snowing, and it was very cold outside, but this guest officer was wearing ill-fitting clothes, and half of his arms and calves were exposed. ”

Wang Chen looked at Wang Shimei, "What else do you have to say?"

"That doesn't prove that I'm a murderer, I really haven't been afraid of the cold since I was a child. Wang Shimei was already in a cold sweat on her forehead, and she still refused to admit it in her mouth.

Everyone else looked at Wang Chen.

Wang Chen hummed again, "Present the evidence." ”

The two officials even came over with a sword, one of which was a cold sword, and the other was Wang Shimei.

Wang Chen first named whose sword it was, and then picked up Leng Yan's sword and pulled it out, "Everyone, look, this is Leng Xiaoniang's sword, although this sword is also an iron sword, it is very thin and belongs to a soft sword." Putting down the cold sword, he picked up Wang Shimei's long sword again, "This sword is the exact same sword that Blacksmith Chen reforged for Wang Shimei, Blacksmith Chen, right?"

"That's right, it's this sword, and there is the mark of my Chen's blacksmith shop on the hilt. Blacksmith Chen pointed, "That ring is." ”

Wang Chen said: "Please do it." ”

The servants brought two more servants.

Everyone held their breath and knew that the case had reached the most tense part.

Wang Chen looked at the two swordsmen, "Qin Lizuo, your autopsy said that the thirteen members of the Hua family were injured by sharp weapons, and it is very likely that they were long swords, so you look at these two swords, which sword is more consistent with the wound." ”

Qin Yanzuo, who was in his fifties, first looked at the cold sword, took it out, shook his head and said: "The blade of this sword is too thin, the wound of the thirteen mouths of the Hua family is large, it is not very similar, and the wound on the heart of the little lady Hua is four inches long, and this sword is only two and a half inches wide, it doesn't look like it." ”

Wang Shimei, who was standing there, was already covered with dense beads of sweat on her face.

Qin Qizuo looked at the sword in Wang Chen's hand again, and his eyes lit up and said: "This sword statue has a wide blade and a width of about four inches, which is more consistent with the murder weapon. ”

How can the more evidence is adduced, the more Wang Shimei looks like a murderer.

But Wang Shimei was still gritting her teeth and denying, "If I am a murderer, why do I have to forge an identical sword?"

"Huh?"

"Makes sense. ”

"Isn't this your own incriminating evidence?"

Everyone was puzzled.

Wang Chen laughed and said: "It's very simple, because the sword you killed was issued by the army, and each one has a record, if you lose it, others will suspect you, so you must reforge an identical one!"

Wang Shimei was a little panicked, and said loudly: "A sword can't show that I am a murderer, I didn't kill anyone, and I don't have a motive to kill, you just deliberately wronged me for favoritism for the long-term workers in your house." ”

This is also the main reason why everyone doesn't believe Wang Chen.

In the final analysis, Leng Yan is a person in Wang Chen's mansion, and from the beginning, everyone felt that Wang Chen would be favoritism as the chief judge.

Even if the case has been analyzed so far, the evidence everywhere points to Wang Shimei, but when everyone hears this, they still feel that Wang Chen's motive does not exist.

Because there is no evidence of a complete conviction.

No one has seen Wang Shimei kill people, and there is no murder weapon, and the only physical evidence, the iron hairpin, has not yet made Wang Shimei lift his sleeves to compare the wounds.

In the final analysis, everything just now was Wang Chen's speculation.

It's normal for everyone to have questions, it's just that they are not as resistant to Wang Chen as the presiding judge as they were at the beginning, and they just want to see the result.

"A sword really doesn't mean much. ”

"Does Wang Zhizhou have any conclusive evidence?"

If there is no conclusive evidence in the trial of the case, it is indeed impossible to convict based on what a few people say, or the kind of certification that cannot prove that Wang Shimei is the murderer.

In the final analysis, Wang Chen still needs to continue to provide evidence.

But Wang Chen said: "I really don't have more physical evidence to prove that you are the murderer." ”

Wang Shimei showed a relieved expression, "That's ......"

Wang Chen smiled, "But I have a witness, a witness who can prove that you are the murderer." ”

Everyone was stunned.

"Witnesses?"

"Really?"

"Uh, what kind of witness?"

The officials were all sitting there whispering.

Zeng Huan also frowned, he couldn't think of anyone else who could be a witness.

A official in charge of collecting evidence also leaned into Wang Chen's ear and said, "Zhizhou, we really don't have any witnesses." ”

Wang Chen smiled, "I said that there must be a witness, and the witnesses I invited are better than anyone else, but the identity of these witnesses is a bit special, I think it is better for the timid people present to leave, don't wait to be scared and sick to find me." "He's already getting vaccinated.

The case has developed to this point, who is willing to go? Who doesn't want to see the end?

Zeng Huan and Fan Min hooked Chen Siqing, they all had question marks in their hearts, don't sell it, hurry up and ask the person to come out.

Wang Chen took a deep breath and said, "Wang Shimei, do you have to ask the official to reveal your identity and invite the witness to come before you admit it? ”

Wang Shimei felt that Wang Chen was deceiving him, and said righteously: "Zhizhou, if you have a witness, please come up, I really didn't commit any crimes." ”

If there were important witnesses who had been shouted out a long time ago, they would have used it again and again to pretend to be pretending? Not only Wang Shimei, but many people felt that Wang Chen was playing tricks.

It is true that Wang Chen is playing tricks, but he is now building momentum for himself, hearing Wang Shimei's answer, he did not speak, but turned around and walked towards the main trial table, sat down, he lowered his head slightly, hid behind the piles of files, secretly put on the mask that had been prepared a long time ago, and said unhurriedly:" In this case, this official has no choice but to reveal his identity, my true identity is the local city god, more than two months ago, the thirteen members of the Chen family died unjustly, and the soul came to my city god temple, and the resentment was so angry that he could not enter the underworld, since you don't admit it, I can only show my true face, and call the ghosts of Chen Sanmei and Chen Laozhang from Yin Cao to confront you!"

This look up scared a lot of people!

Even the few officials and gentlemen sitting there were startled and almost jumped up from their chairs!

Many people were frightened, and then they all laughed dumbly.

You?

Lord Chenghuang?

Do you want to joke with everyone like this?

Chen Siqing said with a dark face at the moment: "Wang Zhizhou, you ......"

Before he finished speaking, Wang Chen pulled the lamp rope beside him, and with a click, the entire public hall fell into darkness, leaving only the two big lanterns at the door still shining, and then, there was a terrifying sound of "woo woo woo" from all directions, not to mention it, whirl, a fierce wind blew above the public hall, and the sound of turning pages of the books on the table was blown by the wind!

Everyone looked around in disbelief, but suddenly it was dark, and only the dim light of the lantern was left, and they couldn't see anything at all, and with the eerie music, many of them had their hairs standing on end.

What's more, his teeth chattered in shock.

Nima, could it be that Wang Zhizhou is really a local city god, right?

Otherwise, how could the light disappear for no reason, and such a cool wind blows, and most importantly, where did that eerie sound come from?

"This ......"

"Wang ...... Wang Zhizhou is really ...... Is it really the lord of the city god?"

"No, I don't know, what's going on?

A woman in the crowd was shivering, a little frightened by the sight in front of her.

Wang Shimei obviously didn't expect such a thing to happen, but he still mustered up the courage and said loudly: "Wang Zhizhou, don't pretend to be a ghost!"

Wang Chen ignored him, and said with a serious face: "Hua's third sister, Hua's Tiandu, Hua's Erlang, and Kun's Wuniang, don't wait for your life quickly!"

As soon as the words fell.

A strange light was cast.

Then there appeared four people in disheveled hair, two men and two women, two old and two young, gathered in the public court.

As soon as the four cloaked figures appeared, they all knelt down in unison.

"I've seen Lord Chenghuang. ”

"Lord Chenghuang, Wan An. ”

The four figures are kneeling.

The woman in the linen dress who was still in the public court glanced at it, jumped up in shock, and said loudly: "Oh my God! Third Sister Hua! Old Lady Hua!

The other two women from Huajia Village, their eyes full of fear, giggled and made the sound of teeth fighting.

When they heard their voices, they all sighed.

Chen Siqing took a cool breath, "He...... Did he really invite the ghost of the Hua family?"

Yu Shi Zhongcheng also said with a frightened face: "This ...... That's not true, is it?"

The people outside were in an uproar.

"It's from the Hua family!"

"Ghost ...... What the hell!"

"Hurry up, don't wait for the ghosts to hurt people!"

"You...... What are you afraid of, I ...... I...... I'm not afraid, city ...... Master Chenghuang is here, what are you afraid of?"

"That's right, Lord Chenghuang is in charge, ghosts don't dare to harm people, I didn't expect Wang Zhizhou's real identity to be a local Chenghuang, I still doubted whether he was favoritism, how could Lord Chenghuang be favoritism?"

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, the city god is here. ”

At first, many people tried to pull their feet and ran away.

But after someone reminded Wang Chen, the "City God's Master", that he was in charge, they all let go of their panic, even if their backs still felt cold, but they still insisted on staying.

To say that the most frightened person present was Wang Shimei, he was so frightened that he jumped up all of a sudden, and said in horror: "This is not true! It's really not true!" He was so frightened that he retreated again and again, and suddenly, as if he had thought of something, Wang Shimei laughed, "Pretending to be a ghost to scare people?

Wang Chen held back a smile and didn't make any moves.

In front of everyone's eyes, Wang Shimei punched through Hua Sanmei's body, and the whole person fell forward forcelessly, he only felt that a punch hit the air!

Poof.

Wang Shimei fell heavily to the ground.

Hua Sanmei and the other figures were still kneeling there.

All of a sudden, the scene became even more noisy!

"What a ghost!"

"It's not a human pretend!"

Chen Siqing, who was more timid, trembled all over, and looked to the side tremblingly, "Fan...... Fan Caosi?"

Fan Mingou was also scared, where could he speak?

Not only them, but throughout the audience, one is counted as one, and when they saw Wang Shimei "penetrating" Hua Sanmei's body, they were all shocked!

The ancients were too superstitious.

Many things can't be explained scientifically, they can only be pushed to superstition, and the ancient imperial power does need divine power to support, and naturally, superstition goes deep into the bone marrow of every ancient person.

Of course, not everyone is superstitious, some people may not believe too much in ghosts and gods, especially scholars, although Confucius once said that the son is silent and strange and chaotic, but it does not mean to deny the existence of ghosts and gods, but to educate disciples to stay away from ghosts and gods.

Even Confucius acquiesced in the existence of ghosts and gods, let alone those who read books?

Therefore, when they saw this scene at the scene, their hearts were full of fear and awe.

Especially when everyone looked at Wang Chen, who was sitting in the position of the chief judge, with a blue face and fangs, their hearts were full of awe of the unknown and mysterious.

Wang Chen didn't waste time, this three-dimensional short film is only thirty minutes, and he must solve this case within thirty minutes, so he said with majesty in his tone: "Third sister Hua, why don't you quickly tell me your grievances?"

The third sister Hua who was kneeling over there still lowered her head, but the ethereal voice sounded here again, "The third sister of the people's daughter, Hua's third sister, was killed by the traitor Wang Shimei, please ask the lord of the city god to clear the grievances of the slave family." ”

"This is not true! This is not true!" Wang Shimei shouted and screamed like crazy, the whole person sat on the ground, her eyes were full of fear, her legs kept kicking back, and she didn't dare to face the four members of the Hua family kneeling over there!

Wang Chen said: "How Wang Shimei harms you, come." ”

Hua Sanmei: " In the spring of last year, I traveled with the little lady of the Tang family, and met Wang Shimei by chance, I saw that he was handsome and chic, and moved the spring heart, and it happened that I accidentally tripped and fell, and the palm of my hand broke, and he handed over the wound medicine to the ancient road, so I met him, and in the days to come, I exchanged letters, and often traveled together, and then my father and mother knew, I took Wang Shimei home to see my parents, he promised to marry me as a wife, but I accidentally found out that he had a family, and he coaxed, wanted me to be his concubine, I didn't allow, thinking that the long pain is not as good as the short pain, I never thought, he actually killed me！”

Another bomb!

It exploded again in the public court!

No one thought that the ghost of Hua Sanmei, who was invited by Wang Chen from the Netherworld, really pointed out that the murderer was Wang Shimei?

You really have the ability to understand yin and yang!

"You talk nonsense, I didn't kill you, not me. Wang Shimei still didn't admit it, and shouted loudly, as if he was grabbing the last life-saving dish, he looked at Chen Siqing and the others who were sitting there, "Wang Zhizhou is playing tricks, he framed me!"

"Quiet!" Wang Chen patted the wood in surprise and sneered: "Since you say that I framed you, then let me ask the third sister Hua's what happened between her and you, and you can listen to whether I have any tricks." ”

Many people looked at each other, and when they heard Wang Chen's words, they felt that it was really the ghost of Hua Sanmei who was kneeling there.

Wang Chen said: "Third sister Hua, tell this seat, have you ever had anything intimate and unforgettable between you and Wang Shimei?"

"Yes. Hua Sanmei still lowered her head, "On the seventh day of May last year, Wang Shimei accidentally injured her left thigh when she was training, and that place was very embarrassing and slave...... The slave family felt sorry for him at that time, but he still put aside his face, applied medicine for him, and then went to the barracks to take care of him every day during the day, which lasted for ten days. ”

Wang Shimei's pupils shrank.

Wang Chen turned to look at Wang Shimei and said sharply: "Is there such a thing!?"

Wang Shimei did not answer.

Wang Chen didn't talk nonsense, time was precious, and asked Hua Sanmei again, "Is there anything else?"

Hua Sanmei: "On July 17 last year, the weather was hot, Wang Shimei invited me to travel, we were so hot that we were sweating profusely, he proposed to go down to the river to bathe together, the slave family is a daughter, although Fang secretly agreed, but refused to obey, he even coaxed and deceived, I thought that sooner or later I would marry him, so I gritted my teeth and agreed, only wearing profane clothes to go down to the river, and ...... with him and him...... Anyway, the slave family saw that he had three black moles on his chest, one of which also had long hair. ”

Wang Chen asked Wang Shimei again, "Is there such a thing?"

Wang Shimei trembled and squirmed her lips several times, but she just couldn't speak.

The crowd exclaimed.

"It's true!"

"Wang Shimei didn't dare to answer?"

"Looks like you're a thief?"

"Straight mother thief, I didn't expect this person to be a beast, and he still wants to coax someone's yellow flower girl to be a concubine?"

Chen Siqing and the others were also shocked, listening to what Hua Sanmei said was all privacy, if it wasn't for personal experience, who would know?

Wang Chen, who was wearing a mask, couldn't see his expression, in fact, he was already laughing, the reason why he knew so clearly was because all this information was told to him by Wang Shimei, and in order to make it more realistic, he deliberately made Wang Wenxiu, who was pretending to be Hua Sanmei, have his voice a little more ethereal, and then through the audio, no matter how familiar he is, no matter how familiar he is, he can't hear whether this voice is or not, hey, have any of you ever heard the voice of a ghost?

He said: "You are in love, why did Wang Shimei hurt your whole family in the end?"

"The heart of a beast with a human face!" Hua Sanmei's voice became sharper, not to mention, Wang Wenxiu's performance was really good, she said angrily: " Since I found out that he has a family, I want to cut off the relationship with him, but Wang Shimei refuses, has been entangled, this matter my father and mother do not know, in order to avoid him, I simply stay at home and no longer go out, I never thought, he chased to my house, my parents knew that my previous relationship with him had reached the point of talking about marriage, and did not stop, let him enter my boudoir, he coaxed in every way, but I have seen through his true face, just ignore it, he lives in ...... I actually wanted to force it, I struggled desperately, and I didn't dare to scream, for fear that the father and mother outside would hear it, in a hurry, I took out a hairpin and stabbed him, he slapped me in pain, and continued to come hard, I took the hairpin again, he was angry, pulled out the long sword and stabbed into my heart, I screamed in pain for help, my father and mother and the eldest brother and the second brother rushed in, all of them were killed by him!"

"Huh?"

"It's not the same as what Wang Zhizhou said before!"

"Really!

"At first, I thought Wang Zhizhou was guessing wildly, but I didn't expect the real situation to be like this!"

The people near the door were all surprised.

Even Zeng Huan couldn't help but say angrily: "This person has really lost his conscience!"

Wang Chen slapped the shocked wood again, and shouted: "Wang Shimei, when will you wait if you don't admit your guilt!?"

Wang Shimei's hair, which had shrunk to Wang Chen's heels, was slightly scattered, still denying, "I didn't! I didn't kill anyone!"

Wang Chen looked at his watch, which was glowing in the night, he could see the time clearly, and he calculated that the time was almost up, and said one by one: "The four of you raise your heads and see if he is the fierce beast that killed you." ”

The four did not respond.

Wang Chen sweated for a moment, and the time calculation failed.

Fortunately, there was not much difference, about five seconds later, Hua Sanmei and the other four three-dimensional figures slowly raised their heads, and the four faces that were originally clean and clean, all of them bled from seven holes the moment they were raised, and they became hideous!

"Give me my life!"

"Give me my life!"

"Dog thief King Shimei, give me back my life!"

The four figures slowly stood up with their teeth and claws, and they all stretched out their hands, which were full of Yin Hong's blood, and slowly staggered forward.

Seeing this, Wang Shimei's whole face was distorted in horror, and he shouted frantically, "Don't come! Don't come!"

But the aperture was still moving slowly, and as the aperture moved, Hua Sanmei and the other four people were still approaching.

Old man Hua smiled cruelly: "Wang Shimei, come down to accompany us!"

Old Concubine Kun also said in a dry voice: "King Yama said that he would knock you down to the eighteenth layer of hell, come and accompany us!"

Hua Erlang's voice was sharp, "Dog thief!

Seeing the four bloody figures getting closer and closer, Wang Shimei's psychological defense line collapsed, he couldn't hold back any longer, and shouted: "Lord Chenghuang, help! Help! I said! I killed them! Help me!"

"What?

"Sure enough, it's this human-faced beast's heart!?"

The people outside were in an uproar.

Even Zeng Huan and the other officials present, their faces obviously showed a look of extreme anger, and at the same time, their hearts were also full of shock and awe for Wang Chen, how could a "City God's Master" who could summon ghosts and gods from the underworld to try cases and know yin and yang not let them be in awe?

Fan Min inhaled and looked at Wang Chen, he didn't dare to squeak.

Yushi Zhongcheng and Chen Siqing and other officials of Dali Temple and the Criminal Department also showed a look of awe at Wang Chen.

……

The court was silent.

After hearing Wang Shimei's admission, Wang Chen immediately said, "Why don't you wait for the four ghosts to retreat quickly?"

As soon as he finished shouting, the aperture disappeared.

After a few moments, the whirring and inexplicable wind also disappeared, and along with it was the eerie music.

Taking advantage of this time, Wang Chen lowered his head again, took off his mask and hid it in his sleeve, and then pulled the lamp rope, and with a click, the light turned on, and he raised his head and looked calm.

A thirty-year-old official from the Criminal Department in the corner below couldn't help but say, "This Wang Zhizhou turned out to be the old man of the city god?"

An official from Dali Temple on the side said respectfully: "Isn't it that the old man of the city god can understand yin and yang?"

The squire of the criminal department was silent.

The people outside were also talking.

"Hey, I didn't expect our Zhizhou to be the living master of the city god. ”

"No wonder our Tongzhou Jinghai is smooth in wind and rain, it turns out that there is a city god who is blessing. ”

"Even if you are not the master of the city god, you can know yin and yang and summon the ghosts of the Hua family from the underworld, that is amazing, people in the fairy road. ”

"We have wronged Wang Zhizhou. ”

"Yes, he is the lord of the city god, and it is impossible to show favoritism. ”

"That is, didn't you hear that Wang Shimei has admitted that she is a murderer?"

"For the first time, I knew that the gods were all around us, no wonder the ancients said that there were gods who were three feet above their heads. ”

From the beginning of knowing that Wang Chen became the chief judge of the case of the thirteen members of the Hua family, almost everyone was questioning his credibility, and the Beijing officials knew that Wang Chen's ultimate goal was to keep Leng Yan, and it was true that they were ready for Wang Chen's favoritism, and even did it according to the emperor's instructions。 Moreover, before this, all kinds of evidence pointed to Leng Yan, in everyone's opinion, it is difficult to overturn the case, yes, Wang Chen did come up with some evidence at the beginning, but can this evidence be overturned? It can only be said that the doubts are not enough to overturn the case, but what no one expected is that Wang Chen is actually the "City God's Master"? And then he really summoned Hua Sanmei and others from the Netherworld Mansion to come to the court to confront him!

Three hours have passed since the opening of the class.

From the beginning, everyone questioned it until the truth was announced.

Many people feel very ashamed, the first time they looked at Wang Chen's eyes were full of inexplicable meaning, the first time they knew how "incredible" the young governor of a state in front of them was, not to mention whether it was the city god or not, just talking about the evidence that was taken out at the beginning, we must admit that Wang Chen has reached a very high level in the trial, all kinds of analysis, all kinds of evidence, and the eyes are like torches!

Chen Siqing?

The squire of the criminal department?

Imperial History?

Or even all the officials in charge of criminal matters here?

There is no dispute, they feel that they are still far from Wang Chen's level in terms of trial cases, they feel that they are not as good as Wang Chen, because the file they saw first in this case did not feel that there was any doubt, but Wang Chen alone raised countless doubts and took out evidence to prove that the murderer was indeed not Leng Yan, just saying this is enough to cause a sensation all over the world!

What's more, his true identity is still a god?

The ancients' reverence for the gods was beyond the imagination of all modern people, and it was a kind of fanaticism, so fanatical that they all wanted to kneel in front of Wang Chen, the "living immortal", and pray for blessings!

More than a dozen seconds passed.

Everyone had come back to their senses.

Wang Chen looked down lightly, "Wang Shimei, don't you tell all about the incident?"

After Wang Shimei's heart was shocked, her emotions gradually stabilized, and he still wanted to deny it, "Zhizhou, I really didn't kill anyone?"

Wang Chen's eyes widened angrily, "Do you have to summon Hua's Manmen from the Netherworld to you again to ask for your life?"

Thinking of the situation just now, Wang Shimei was chilling all over, but he still gritted his teeth and said, "I really don't have anyone." ”

Zeng Huan, who was sitting, frowned, if Wang Shimei didn't admit it, this case still couldn't be judged, after all, the person just now was a ghost, not a living person.

Wang Chen sneered, "Okay, that's the case, you don't regret it!" he snuck the lamp rope again.

It's dark again in the courtroom!

Then, the eerie music came again!

Wang Chen's palms were full of sweat, if he couldn't bluff the other party anymore, he would be exhausted.

However, Wang Shimei was too frightened just now, when she thought of Hua Sanmei's cloak and her face covered with blood, and then saw Wang Chen "casting a spell" again to prepare to summon spirits, and this time she might directly ask for her life, Wang Shimei was so frightened that she hurriedly said: "I admit it! I admit it! Master Chenghuang, don't call them up again!"

Wang Chen breathed a sigh of relief, and then said into the walkie-talkie microphone hidden in the official hat, "Since Wang Shimei has confessed, then I won't invite the ghosts of the Hua family to come three times or twice, and the deceased will be safe." ”

Wang Wenxiu and the others, who were hiding in another room, received the order and immediately turned off the stereo.

Wang Chen also took advantage of the situation to pull the lantern rope, and the court regained its light again.

But the people outside were scolding.

"Phew!"

"If you don't see the coffin, you won't shed tears!"

"Yes, I have to recruit the ghosts of the Hua family to come and ask for my life before I admit it!"

"Thanks to Wang Zhizhou's real identity as the City God, otherwise this case will never be solved. ”

A group of people were indignant, if it weren't for the officials to stop them, they would have wanted to rush in and kill Wang Shimei.

Several officials also looked at Wang Chen, sighing in their hearts.

However, Wang Chen was not affected in any way, although he wanted to laugh in his heart, he held back and said expressionlessly: "Wang Shimei, say it." ”

Wang Shimei didn't have any luck this time, he always felt that the ghosts of the thirteen members of the Hua family were nearby, and said tremblingly: "The city ...... Lord Chenghuang, is ...... It was I who killed the thirteen members of the Hua family. "Yes, he is no longer called Wang Chen Zhizhou, and he is directly called Master Chenghuang.

Wang Chen asked: "Tell me what happened again. ”

Wang Shimei hung her head and told the original story of the case, and there was no discrepancy with what "Hua Sanmei" said just now, that is, she was stabbed by a hairpin and lost her mind, and a sword was inserted into Hua Sanmei's heart, and then saw Hua Laozhang and others rushing in, and said that they would arrest him to see the official, Wang Shimei moved the idea of killing one and killing one, and killing one family is also killing, and killed all the people, and then he sorted out the scene, went to find the officials to go to the relationship, and promised to give the fat officials and others a thousand yuan.

At this point, the matter has come to light.

Wang Chen looked at the five officials standing over there, "What else do you have to say?"

"Zhizhou spares his life!"

"We are foolish and greedy for money. ”

Several officials were so frightened that they hurriedly knelt down, and they all said like pouring beans, including where they had hidden the two hundred yuan of money they had been allocated.

Confession of the truth!

The people clenched their fists, the officials protected each other, and shielded the real murderers, especially this group of officials are all people from the Jinghai Prefecture Ya, as Wang Chen, who is the governor of the state, did not hesitate to find out, for a while, their hearts are extremely complicated, on the one hand, they are extremely angry with Wang Shimei and several officials, on the other hand, they are full of respect for Wang Chen, whether it is the city god or not, this can risk the world for the deceased, can find out the real murderer regardless of the face of the government, Zhizhou, is a good official, a rare good official in the world.

Now it's time to see the verdict.

How to convict these people.

Wang Chen went down to discuss with Dali Temple, the Criminal Department, and Yushi Zhongcheng and others, even if the truth comes out, this kind of thing cannot be sentenced casually, and the laws of the Song Dynasty are very strict.

After half a ring, the result of the deliberations came out.

Wang Chen sat back in the position of the presiding judge, patted the shocking wood, and cleared his throat, "After deliberation, the verdict is as follows. ”

How to judge?

How will these people be judged?

The crowd stared intently.

Wang Chen said with full anger: "The evidence that the criminal Wang Shimei killed the thirteen members of the Hua family is conclusive, and the crime is extremely heinous, and Ling Chi is sentenced to death! Ding Jun, Cui Xi, Xu San, Du Lin, and Qian Yin are public officials who know the law and violate the law to shield criminals, and are sentenced to 50 lashes and 1,000 miles to fill the army!"

As soon as the verdict was announced, the audience applauded.

"Good!"

"Wang Zhizhou's sentence is good!"

"A person like Wang Shimei who has committed a heinous crime should be executed at Ling Chi!"

"Jinghai has a good official! Wang Zhizhou, we blamed you wrongly!"

The world-shattering Hua family extermination case has been solved!

Just when everyone in the world thought that the murderer was cold, Wang Chen stood up and used real evidence, plus earth-shattering methods to recruit the ghosts of the Hua family to come to the court, and did not let the murderer go unpunished!

No matter what means were used to crack this case, all the officials present felt that Wang Chen's methods of solving the case were too clever, as if they knew that this case was like this from the beginning.

Fan Mingou smiled appreciatively: "Wang Zhizhou is really powerful. ”

Chen Siqing, who failed in the mission, even had a calm face, but still said: "It's quite powerful." "He is loyal to the emperor, the emperor wants to move Wang Chen, he naturally has no good impression of Wang Chen, but he is not only an official, but also the lord of the city god, Chen Siqing really doesn't dare to say anything bad about Wang Chen behind his back, this is the awe of ghosts and gods.

The same goes for everyone else.

Everyone present can see that no matter whether Wang Chen is the lord of the city god or not, just by cracking this shocking case of destroying the door is enough to go down in history and spread through the ages!

……

The trial is over.

Wang Shimei and the five officials were escorted down.

Leng Yan was naturally acquitted, and in addition, several witnesses Wang Chen actually rewarded him and gave him a little money.

The people outside are still applauding desperately.

Many officials in Jinghai and Tongzhou looked at Wang Chen with admiration, compared with the officials in Beijing, the officials in Jinghai and Tongzhou knew that Wang Chen was a "local" and a "local god", and they were more likely to accept and have a good impression of Wang Chen, and from the case just now, they were already completely convinced of Wang Chen.

"Blue sky!"

"Lord Qingtian!"

"Wang Qingtian, well-deserved!"

"Master Chenghuang, can I ask how long I still have to live?"

The common people shouted loudly outside, and they did not dare to rush into the court.

It was eleven o'clock in the evening.

It was terriblely dark, and at this time of the week, everyone had already gone to sleep, but in order to watch this "judgment of the century", they all stayed until now.

Wang Chen knew that his time for a show had come, he took the initiative to run outside the door, and said loudly to the people: "It's late today, I don't feel at ease on your way back, there are probably more than a thousand good people present, a group of fifteen people, I let the officials send you home one by one, although I am an official, but the rights in my hands are given by the court and you, only if you are safe, I can be at ease as an official." ”

There was no applause.

Not a single one applauded.

But instead, there were a nest of ordinary people rushing up, and several officials wanted to stop them, but they were stopped by Wang Chen, and he directly greeted the enthusiasm of the people, and was surrounded by three circles inside and three circles outside.

"Lord Qingtian. ”

"You're our good pro-people. ”

"Master Chenghuang, can you help the old man ask Hades, how many years can I live?"

"You must bless us with good weather in Tongzhou and Jinghai. ”

At this moment, in the minds of Baixin in Tongzhou and Jinghai, Wang Chen's prestige has risen to a point that cannot be touched, Wang Chen told everyone with practical actions that he is not a favoritism and fraud for the long-term workers in the house to be the chief judge, but wants to return justice to the thirteen deceased members of the Hua family, at this moment, everyone was impressed by Wang Chen's actions.

The people don't want much, as long as they can be fed and clothed, and live a good life, the vast majority of the people in Tongzhou Jinghai have it.

Therefore, when they saw Wang Chen taking a case so seriously, not letting go of a bad person, nor wronging a good person, their hearts were full of respect.

Who said that Wang Chen would cheat for personal gain?

Who says a person who has just become an official can't try a case?

Before, a group of scholars in Tongzhou City were still indignant to boycott Wang Chen, which seemed ridiculous!

From the beginning of the evidence, one by one analysis of the case, how it is, Wang Chen is reasonable, yes, many people thought he was guessing at first, and even thought that he came up with a ridiculous "plot" in order to cover up Leng Yan, but it turned out that Wang Chen did not, everything he said before was that he knew the case well, and he dared to determine that the murderer was Wang Shimei as soon as he opened his mouth!

Those officials in the capital wanted to see Wang Chen's jokes? They still thought that this case could not be overturned? Nonsense, Wang Chen never thought of overturning the case at all, and they directly found out the murderer in the public court, even if it was an old official who had been engaged in criminal law for decades...... That's it, right? It won't be better than Wang Zhizhou, right? Well, even if there is an official who can be compared with Wang Chen in solving the case, and can also adduce evidence in all aspects, but what about the earth-shattering methods that made Wang Shimei confess his guilt in the end? Isn't it something that the immortal family can use?

This Zhizhou is incredible!

The people launched a "siege" on Wang Chen.

It's just that Wang Chen doesn't have the slightest shelf in front of the people, he learns from the modern social leaders he sees on the TV, with a look close to the people, a "father-in-law" and an "aunt", anyway, the people are moved to almost tears.

It was not easy to persuade all the people away.

Then, the officials of Jinghai rushed up with collective joy.

"Zhizhou. ”

"This time you're going to make a name for yourself!"

"Yes, after tomorrow, you may have no one in the world who doesn't know you!"

"Wang Zhizhou, do you know how much of a sensation the case you solved today will cause in the world?"

"Haha, our Zhizhou is from the immortal family, where will we put these false names in our eyes?"

"Wang Zhizhou. ”

"Bless a big fat boy in the cheap, okay?"

Wang Chen looked at this group of colleagues speechlessly, and said in his heart, "Shouldn't you hang the portraits of your buddies at home to ward off evil spirits like Mengyin did over there?"

A little chat.

After tossing for nearly an hour, Wang Chen had to take a breath, although he would not be tired in the Northern Song Dynasty, but after a long time of trying the case, coupled with acting, he would still be mentally tired, he originally wanted to find Dali Temple, the Criminal Department and others to discuss the follow-up of this case, but he couldn't see anyone left and right, so he had to walk inside.

The other end.

Location close to the corridor.

Fan Mingou and Zeng Huan walked inside, and there were officials such as Dali Temple and the Criminal Department, talking as they walked.

"It's all recorded?" asked Chen Siqing.

An official from Dali Temple in his thirties said: "Yes, every sentence has been recorded. ”

Another official from Dali Temple said respectfully: "Chen Siqing, it is said that in the past, when we tried such a big case, the practice had to be announced to the world, but Wang Zhizhou's methods of trying the case this time were a bit ...... Somewhat...... Well, aren't we going to announce it?"

Chen Siqing frowned and hesitated, "Let's announce it." ”

The waiter of the Criminal Department said: "The trial of the case with the power of ghosts and gods has been unheard of since ancient times, if we announce it, wouldn't it be good?"

Fan Min sighed: "Do you think we won't be able to spread this matter if we don't announce it?" There are more than 1,000 ordinary people present today, and they don't know whether to pass on Wang Zhizhou to the Jade Emperor or the Sanqing Dao Ancestor when they turn around. ”

Chen Siqing said: "Fan Caosi is reasonable, Wang Zhizhou is a local city god, so he should be treated according to the city god, and must not be regarded by the world as other gods, otherwise it is disrespectful to the gods." ”

The squire of the criminal department said with some disapproval: "I think it is better to start this matter with Your Majesty." ”

Chen Siqing said: "Your Majesty is definitely going to start playing, but this place is more than a thousand miles away from the capital, and it will take four days to rush back and forth for eight hundred miles. He said to an official of the Dali Temple: "Tomorrow morning notices will appear everywhere in Tongzhou and Jinghai." ”

"Yes, Chen Siqing. The man commanded.

Then Chen Siqing said to the waiter of the Criminal Department: "I actually think the same as you, and I don't want to publish the details of this case to the world, because the matter of ghosts and gods is too terrifying, and it is better to ask Your Majesty for such a thing, but we have to consider the consequences, you can imagine that if Wang Zhizhou is falsely rumored to be a great god, what kind of sensation will it cause among the people?" ”

He didn't say a word very clearly.

But everyone present understood.

It probably means that if Wang Chen is regarded as a more authoritative god, if he rebels in the future, it will not be a matter of raising his arms?

Chenghuang is different, normally speaking, a city god in one place, similar to an official, has a "jurisdiction", no matter whether Wang Chen is really a city god or not, if he wants to raise his arms in the future, at most only the people of Tongzhou and Jinghai will respond, and the whole world will not listen to it.

Zeng Huan heard this, and was happy, "It seems that it will not work for me, the governor of Tongzhou, to speak in the future, after all, a living city god lord is over there, and I said that Wang Zhizhou used to have many magical things, it turns out that his real identity is the city god lord?"

Fan Mingou and the other officials in Tongzhou obviously knew much more about Wang Chen than these Beijing officials, and they couldn't help but think of some things that they couldn't explain before, but now they can explain them.

Well, theological explanation.

Just like Einstein said in his old age, "above science is theology", many things cannot be explained at the current level of knowledge, so they can only be pushed to theology.

Of course, there are some things that everyone tacitly did not say, they still have some doubts about whether Wang Chen is the identity of the city god master, but so many people are watching, even if they think it is useless, everyone knows one thing, from today onwards, just like Zeng Huan said, Wang Chen's prestige in Tongzhou and Jinghai will reach a terrifying level, I am afraid that the emperor's words are not as useful as Wang Chen's squeak!

。 Sogou
