Chapter 789 - Happy Tipping
At this moment, someone replied: The Wang family came to find Lord Wang.
It turned out that Wang Kang and Wang Chong also sent the coffins over, and conveyed Wang Ji's words: The Wang family has received these two coffins, and now they are transferred to the imperial court to collect the bones of Lin Xiaotian's father and son, and save a little silver for the household department.
Everyone was speechless—
The father and son wanted to go together!
At the corner of the street where the government was located, the people were looking at the coffin and talking about it, and suddenly saw the dragon and tiger guards dodge to both sides, making way for a passage, Liang Xinming and Wang Heng walked out of it side by side, Xie Yaohui followed closely, and they all thought blankly: Lord Liang is really not dead! Suddenly, the news spread outward like wings.
Many people shouted "Lord Liang!"
Liang Xinming glanced at the crowd and was a little moved in his heart: It is not easy to be a parent official on that side, and let the people there remember your goodness. She didn't respond, and waited for the signature to be completed before clasping her fist at the crowd around her.
The people were excited and shouted louder.
Wang Heng instructed Yi'an to reward the people in the coffin shop, and Xie Yaohui ordered Ye Luo to call a group of officials to carry the coffin into the palace.
More than 20 coffins, not spectacular!
When Shen Qi came back, he happened to see the backs of Wang Heng and Liang Xinming leaving side by side, supported by dragon guards in front of and on the left and right;
"Lord Liang is really not dead!"
"What are you talking about? The big living person is standing here, and there can be a fake!"
"How did she put the coffin away?"
"That's a big measure. ”
"I can't accept it again because of the big amount, Lord Liang is pregnant, how unlucky it is, and he is dead. ”
……
The shopkeeper of the coffin shop was happy to get the reward, and he had never been happy to do this business today, so he smiled and told everyone: "This coffin is not for Lord Liang, it is for the anti-thief Lin family, saying that it is to save some money for the treasury." ”
The crowd shook their heads and burst into laughter, feeling that this was indeed the style of Lord Liang in their minds, and the anti-thief was in vain.
After standing in the cold wind all morning, they relaxed and slowly dispersed, talking endlessly.
Shen Qi was a little jealous when he saw that Liang Xinming was so respected by the people, not only her ability, but also her luck. He only saw Wang Heng digging Liang Xinming out of the ground, but he didn't know that this was what they had prepared, thinking that there was a tunnel under the house, and Liang Xinming could only hide in it at a critical moment last night.
When he entered the lobby, his eyes met Wang Heng's sharp gaze, and he "chuckled" in his heart, panicking for no reason;
Of course, he refused to admit it, insisting that he had been misled by the anti-thief, so that he made a mistake in judgment and negligence, and knelt down to plead guilty, and also cited Yu Ying, the commander of the forbidden army, saying that he could testify that he did meet the anti-thief last night.
Wang Heng wanted to go to the scene with him to verify.
Shen Qi asked uneasily: "How to verify?"
Wang Heng said: "I'll know when I go." ”
Shen Qi couldn't, so he had to take him there.
Jing Kangdi also went in person.
Liang Xinming stayed in the government to rest.
At Dezheng Road, the Tiger Guards put the entire street under martial law, as well as the parallel streets in front and back, and all the pedestrians were dispersed.
Shen Qi led everyone to a willow tree and said to Emperor Jing Kang: "After Weichen heard the drum, he immediately led people to the mansion. When he got here, he heard a 'click', and then heard a 'whoosh' wind blowing across his face, and a figure flew down to the eaves. Weichen ordered someone to search, lest the thieves have other tricks. ”
Wang Heng looked up and saw that there was indeed a branch in the canopy of the willow tree that was broken and drooped down, as if Shen Qi said "click" sound source.
Wang Heng hurriedly stepped forward to inspect.
Lin Ping and Xie Yaohui followed.
Shen Qi looked at them calmly. Last night he found that the tree had broken a branch and hung down, so he made up that lie improvised, and if he casually made up a reason, it would inevitably reveal a flaw.
Wang Heng pulled down a branch with his hand, broke it hard, and said: "This one is as thick as that one, you listen, it's not a 'click' sound." ”
Shen Qi was stunned for a moment, and shouted urgently: "This is a living branch, and that root is withered, so it sounds." ”
Wang Heng nodded, did not argue with him, beckoned a forbidden army to step forward, asked him to use a knife to cut off another section of the dead branch, revealing the core inside, and said to Jing Kangdi and others: "Look, this is green." This shows that this branch was not trampled on last night, but was broken for many days before it showed a dead state. If it were a dead branch, there would be no life under the bark. ”
Everyone nodded.
Shen Qi was stunned.
Wang Heng didn't wait for him to find a reason to argue, and said to the Marquis of Zhongyi: "Please send a master to jump from this tree to the eaves, and imitate the situation last night to demonstrate to the emperor, and see that he may escape without a trace." ”
The Marquis of Zhongyi ordered his own guard Qi Hua to carry it out.
Qi Hua pounced from the willow branches to the eaves, sticking to the eaves like a gecko, and then looked for a way out, but found that there was no way out.
Wang Heng said to everyone: "Your Majesty, please see: there are no alleys here, and when he goes to the eaves, whether he climbs up to the roof, or flees to the left or right, under the eyes of hundreds of forbidden troops, he can't be invisible and invisible. Unless—"
Emperor Jing Kangdi hurriedly asked, "Unless what?"
Xie Yaohui blurted out, "Unless he entered the house through this window." ”
Wang Heng praised: "Exactly." ”
Emperor Jing Kang ordered: "Call this family out." ”
When I was young, a husband and wife and a pair of children were brought out, and the husband and wife were honest, the boy was six or seven years old, and the girl was four or five years old. According to them, they have lived here for several lifetimes, and their neighbors know it.
Wang Heng asked Xie Yaohui to go next door to inquire about what the family said was true, and he himself asked them what they heard last night.
The man hurriedly said: "I heard it, I heard it, it was like thunder, and we couldn't sleep, so we all ran out to see ......."
Wang Heng interrupted him and said, "Don't ask that, before the explosion, was there any movement at your own door? Do you close the windows before you go to bed? This official suspects that a thief has entered your house, and look at the branches of this tree are broken......
The man listened blankly, and then suddenly turned around and rushed into the house with a howl: "Sorry daughter-in-law, go and take a look! The silver I hid under the bed! That's what my father has saved for half his life......
His daughter-in-law also hurriedly followed.
Emperor Jing Kang and the others looked at each other.
The little boy bit his fingers, tangled his little brows, and thought for a long time before he turned up to Wang Heng and said, "My lord, I broke the branch. It was snowing heavily that day, and I ...... I climbed up a tree to play, and accidentally broke it—" He asked timidly, looking at the majestic emperor and the murderous forbidden army around him—"Your Excellency wants to punish me?"
Is it illegal to break a tree branch?
Haven't heard of it!
All......
It has been snowing heavily for at least ten days.
Wang Heng bent down and said to the boy: "You have done nothing wrong, how can this official punish you? Not only will you not be punished, but this official will reward you because you have made meritorious service." "Anyway, take the money out of the purse and give a reward. He was so happy that he had already touched a small piece of silver in his hand, put it down again, and took out a small handful of golden beans and gave it to him. Then he said, "This is gold, and you can't eat it, so give it to your father for silver." ”
The boy was pleasantly surprised: "Thank you, sir!"
The little girl suddenly said tenderly, "I also broke the branch of the tree when I was old. She didn't understand anything, but she heard her brother say that she had broken the branch, and then Wang Heng rewarded her brother with a handful of golden beans, so she also wanted to ask for a reward. Her dark eyes were full of expectation, hoping that Wang Heng would be treated fairly, not from person to person.
Wang Heng: "......"
I didn't explain it anymore, and I also gave three.
