Xu is a medicinal soup mixed with Guo Yifeng's blood, the medicinal effect has a great effect, Bai Sujin after taking it for a few days, his body gradually improved, his complexion was also ruddy, and the cane punishment he received under his waist was originally a traumatic injury, and the recovery was relatively fast. Bai Sujin can now get out of bed and walk.

Of course, Guo Yifeng cuts his blood every day as medicine, even if he takes more supplements afterwards, his body will eventually be damaged, but fortunately, Guo Yifeng has practiced martial arts, his body is quite tough, and there is nothing big for a while, but his complexion is worse than before.

Bai Sujin has always been an idle person, her body has just seen well, and she has the idea of continuing to complain, on this day, she gathered everyone together and said slowly: "Now I can get out of bed and walk around, I think that the matter surnamed Zhang can't be delayed any longer, so I plan to continue to sue the criminal department with Miaoqiu early tomorrow morning." ”

As soon as these words came out, they were immediately opposed by everyone, Guo Yifeng took the lead and said: "You don't want to die, you have just seen your body, why do you want to go to the criminal department, in case they still insist that you are falsely accused, then you will not be punished, it is possible to go to prison, you can't do this!" ”

Li Miaoqiu also looked worried, and persuaded her: "Yifeng is right, my sister's body is better, it is really not appropriate to involve myself in a lawsuit again for my sake at this time, so it is better to recuperate!" As for the surname Zhang, according to my meaning, since we are fortunate to live, we will make a living here, and we will not provoke the surname Zhang again, and we may be able to get along safely. ”

When Bai Sujin heard this, he couldn't help coughing twice, and said angrily: "Miaoqiu, why are you so unassertive, have you forgotten how that bastard surnamed Zhang treated us?" We survived because we had a big life, but can you guarantee that the bastard surnamed Zhang will no longer be against us? If we don't file a lawsuit, maybe in a few days, the bastard surnamed Zhang will come up with other plans to kill us, and then we may not be able to survive. ”

Zijuan had some fear on his face, shook his head, and said softly, "It's not like this, right?" ”

At this time, Li Quan suddenly interjected: "Madame is right, I just remembered something, but I am afraid that Madame will not be good." ”

Bai Sujin was puzzled, and hurriedly asked, "What's the matter, you can tell me?" ”

Li Quanzheng said: "In the past two days, when I went to buy things on the street, I happened to meet a fellow who had a good relationship, he was a dart master, and he was escorted into Beijing. Since we left, the matchmaker's shop caught fire, and the neighbors ran to put out the fire, and the brother surnamed Zhang was also among them, but everyone else was fine, but the brother surnamed Zhang unfortunately died. ”

Bai Sujin frowned and speculated: "How could the matchmaker's shop catch fire, isn't it intentional by the surname Zhang?" Moreover, since it is a firefight, why is everyone else fine, but the brother surnamed Zhang was burned to death? ”

Li Quan continued: "Madam, the younger brother surnamed Zhang was not burned to death by the fire, but because of the heat of the firefighting, the younger brother surnamed Zhang took the lead in running to the water tank and scooping a scoop of water to drink, and died of poisoning. ”

Bai Sujin thought about it carefully, probably understood the cause of the matter, and sneered: "It's really retribution, the bastard surnamed Zhang wanted to poison us, but he poisoned his own brother to death, it's really evil and evil!" ”

Li Quan sighed before he said, "It's just that in this way, the bastard surnamed Zhang will only be more resentful of us, and I think he won't spare us easily." It's just that, as soon as we came, we had already entered Beijing, and at the feet of the Son of Heaven, he didn't dare to act rashly for a while; Second, he did not have sufficient evidence to prove that we deliberately poisoned people, so he could not convict and pursue our crimes. However, he must hate us in his heart, and sooner or later he will look for a suitable opportunity to attack us. ”

Li Miaoqiu was still a little hesitant before, planning to settle the matter, after listening to Li Quan's words, he felt that the chance of even surviving and stealing his life was very slim, and after thinking about it, he said: "Now it seems that it is not that we refuse to let go of that bastard, but that bastard refuses to let us go, in this case, we really have no way out, so we can only continue to sue." ”

Bai Sujin nodded, agreed with what Li Miaoqiu said, and said: "The matter of the complaint is urgent, if we can't let the surnamed Zhang be punished as soon as possible, I'm afraid that our lives will be in danger." ”

That night, a distinguished guest came to the Criminal Department.

Shangshu of the Criminal Department saluted respectfully and said: "Weichen sees Lord Ling, I don't know if the prince is here, what are you doing?" ”

Although Guo Yifeng smiled gently, there was a chill in his eyes, and he said lightly: "It's not a big deal, it's just for a case, this king heard that someone came to sue the magistrate of Anxian County, Suzhou a few days ago, and was beaten back by you with the 20th board, right?" ”

Shangshu of the Criminal Department has been in the officialdom for many years, and when he heard this tone, he was a little blamed, and hurriedly said: "That's true, they failed to come up with definite evidence, and I can't file a case, and they also confronted the squire in the court, so according to the law, they hit the twenty boards." ”

Guo Yifeng smiled faintly, but his tone became more aggressive: "You can do things, as a scholar, a few words from the squire can disturb your judgment, a person who doesn't even have an opinion is really not suitable to be a secretary of the criminal department, otherwise I don't know how many unjust, false and wrongful cases will be caused?" ”

When Shangshu of the Criminal Department heard this, he quickly knelt down and said: "The prince forgives the sin, and Weichen neglected for a while. The prince came late at night, he must have something important to entrust Weichen, I don't know what the prince thinks about this case? ”

Guo Yifeng glanced at the Shangshu of the Criminal Department, and said lightly: "You should also be a smart person, this king has no other requirements, I just hope that you can do official business, like those magistrates who are not honest officials, it is better to punish them severely, this is also your duty." ”

The Shangshu of the Criminal Department said yes, Guo Yifeng got up and said: "This king has said it here, how to be specific, and ask the Shangshu of the Criminal Department to strictly follow the law." In addition, you tell the squire that he can do a good job of housekeeping, and as for reviewing the case, he is incompetent and easily deceived, so it is better to participate as little as possible. ”

Early the next morning, the lobby of the Criminal Department.

Li Miaoqiu repeated the plea again, and took out the letter left by Zhang Runcheng as evidence in court.

The Shangshu of the Criminal Department asked a few words, and then said: "If you took out this letter last time, wouldn't it be conclusive evidence." The official also believes that the facts of this case are basically true, and that the official will send someone to send the document to the governor of Suzhou, so that he can immediately escort Zhang Runcheng to Beijing for trial as soon as he receives the document, and if he confesses, he can be sentenced. ”

When Bai Sujin and Li Miaoqiu heard this, they both smiled happily and hoped that Zhang Runcheng would be punished as soon as possible.

Seven days later, Zhang Runcheng was escorted to Beijing, and although he argued on the basis of reason and refused to admit to death, the evidence was ironclad and there was no way to deny it. Under the investigation, Zhang Runcheng was found to have committed more crimes.

In the end, the verdict of the Criminal Department Shangshu is as follows: Zhang Runcheng, crime 1, seducing a woman from a good family; The second crime is to kill parents and children with medicine; sin 3, intentionally murdering others; Crime four, killing Zhao Chang and sinking his body; The fifth crime is accepting bribes. His wife, Han, shielded others and concealed crimes. The verdict is as follows. Zhang Runcheng, who was imprisoned in the sky, was beheaded after the autumn; Han was imprisoned and sentenced to three years.
