Chapter Seventy-Five: Bureau
Song Jinliang's expression didn't seem to be fake, but it seemed like he was the one who had grievances. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info He pointed at Zhang Erhu and was speechless for a long time.
"Your Highness, since this little brother who sued Lord Song said that he imprisoned his father, His Highness can send someone to the cell to take a look, and you can understand who is right and who is wrong in this matter." Hou Yuan on the side stood up and said methodically.
"Yes, yes, yes." Song Jinliang reacted and hurriedly knelt on the ground, "Your Highness, please send someone to the cell to take a look, the lower official is innocent!" ”
Since the matter has come to this point, both sides have said that they are innocent. Zhao Mu frowned worriedly and glanced back at Shen Qiwu.
Shen Qiwu sat there silently, watching coldly from the beginning to the present, until Hou Yuan stood up, until Hou Yuan said those words along with the situation in front of him.
In this case, presumably the person who laid out the layout should be prepared seamlessly.
"Good! So, Sophobia will go with you. Lonely to see who is lying! Zhao Mu flicked his sleeves and said angrily.
Outside the county government prison, surrounded by the guards of the East Palace, the water was impassable, and the outside was also crowded with ordinary people who came to hear the trial, just now His Royal Highness the Crown Prince led people into the cell.
The prison was a little dark, and even though it was daylight, only a faint light was cast in, and the smell of oppression and rancid smell filled the air.
The cell boss was also at a loss, he groveled in front of Zhao Mu like a pug, leading the big men through the prison.
"Your Highness, the county has always been safe. The prison had been empty for a long time, but only recently had one person inhabited. The cell leader cautiously led the way in front of him, while explaining to Zhao Mu.
"Oh?" Zhao Mu glanced at Song Jinliang coldly and asked, "Do you know what crime that person committed?" ”
"I don't know if it's the little one, it's the one who came from above."
When Song Jinliang heard this, his heart was on fire, and he said angrily: "You fart, there is nothing to commit during this time!" How could there be anyone in prison? ”
The cell leader was a timid person, although Zhao Mu was standing here, he was still frightened by Song Jinliang's words, and said hesitantly: "That night, it was dark in the prison. I didn't see the small one clearly, but the official seal of the escort was your seal of the adult! ”
Before he finished speaking, he had already come to the end of the cell.
"What does it smell like?" A foul smell hit, Zhao Mu hurriedly covered his nose, and even Shen Qiwu, who was standing not far away, frowned.
As soon as she entered this cell, Shen Qiwu smelled a strange smell for a while, at first she didn't pay much attention to it, thinking that most of the cells had this smell, but now that she thinks about it, this smell is probably the smell of corpses.
"Daddy? Father! What happened to you? What happened to you! The cell boss opened the cell door, and Zhang Erhu hurriedly rushed in.
Zhao Mu was afraid of the smell, so he stood outside, pinched his nose and asked, "Zhang Erhu, are you clear?" Is this your dad? ”
Zhang Erhu hugged the corpse that had emitted a foul smell in his arms, and cried out heartbreakingly.
"Your Highness, you have to be the master of the grass people. My dad was killed by this dog officer! ”
"You dog! I want your life! Saying that, Zhang Erhu rushed out with emotion, if he hadn't been stopped by the guards, he was afraid that he would have to fight with Song Jinliang.
"This, this.... This, Your Highness, the lower officials don't know, it's not about the lower officials! Song Jinliang's brain was already in a state of paralysis at this time, and he looked at Zhang Erhu who was crazy in front of him blankly.
Just now, Zhang Erhu's dirty nails were about to touch his cheeks, he knelt on the ground in a distraction, pulling Zhao Mu's sleeve, "Your Highness, the lower officials really don't know, Your Highness, please find out!" ”
Hou Yuan also knelt down, Song Jinliang was his superior, he had been doing things for Song Jinliang all these years, once this kind of thing was really found, he would naturally not be able to get out of it.
"Humph!" Zhao Mu kicked Song Jinliang away and looked at him with disgust, "Come on, Song Jinliang is an improper official, greedy for bending the law, and took his black gauze hat and put him in prison!" ”
"Yes!" The guards set up Song Jinliang, who was crying and pleading, and threw him into a cell or something.
"Your Highness has been wronged, Your Highness, please find out!"
Song Jinliang's tearing screams were still heard behind him, and Zhao Mu turned a deaf ear and asked people to help Zhang Erhu carry his father's body out.
Although the human and material evidence in this case is complete, there are still many doubts.
Zhao Mu was not in a hurry to pronounce Song Jinliang's death sentence, he led people back to the county office, because it was not convenient to live in the post station, he simply stayed in this county office temporarily.
The guards of the East Palace guarded the gate of the county government, and at this time, only Zhao Mu and Shen Qiwu were left in the hall.
Zhao Mu stood under the plaque of fairness and integrity, silent and in a daze.
Shen Qiwu followed his gaze and asked suspiciously, "What are you thinking?" ”
Zhao Mu turned his head to look at Shen Qiwu, pursed his lips and said, "Don't you think this matter is very strange?" It's kind of like...."
"Since you are in the game, just follow the game." Shen Qiwu saw it very clearly, all this was nothing more than a bureau. Since last night's letter, the situation in the whole game has begun to gradually become clearer.
Zhao Mu's doubts didn't matter, because the situation was not dominated by them. What Shen Qiwu and they have to do is nothing more than follow the situation and watch the play to the end.
Zhao Mu thought for a long time, and complained with a wry smile: "I knew that I would definitely not be clean when I left." ”
Shen Qiwu just smiled, taking this sentence as a joke as a matter of course.
......
......
At night, there are no people who often hang out in Tu County.
Everyone stayed honestly in their respective homes, digesting the major events of the day.
The prefectural commander has fallen.
I don't know whether these people are bitter or sweet in their hearts.
In the prison, due to the old man's negligence, Zhang Erhu's father died in prison. He was dismissed from his post and went back to farming in the countryside, and the new cell boss was a young-looking young man.
He wore his hat crookedly, sat on a chair with his legs crossed, and hummed a little song with a pleasant face.
Even a man in black came in the prison and didn't care.
Hou Yuan was wrapped in a black robe and quietly came to the cell where Song Jinliang was held.
"Your Excellency."
Song Jinliang turned his back to him and carried his hands behind his back.
"I didn't expect to be put on a table by the prince, could it be that the matter of the prince was detected? That Zhang Erhu must also be the prince's person. ”
Unlike Song Jinliang, who cried out and cried out for wrongs during the day, he was very calm and calm at this time.
Standing in prison, it's like just coming in and sitting.
"My lord, since the prince has already noticed. We should have transferred the books earlier. ”
Hou Yuan lowered his head and shrugged under the black robe, so that no one could see his face. (To be continued.) )
