It is said that the prince hurriedly received it to the river, and Bai Taizun had already walked over from the ice. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info Zi handed over the hand version, rushed to the front to say goodbye, and said, "Adults are hard." Bai Gong replied and said, "Why do you have to take it out? Naturally, my brother wants to go to your yamen to ask for peace. Zijin even said "don't dare".

There are tea sheds by the river, and colorful silk is hung. At that time, let me sit in the tea shed. Bai Gong asked, "Is Tiejun gone?" Zijin replied: "Not yet." Because when the adults come, I am afraid that there will be something to say. The lowly and suitable people came to the iron office. Bai Gong nodded and said, "Very good." It's inconvenient for me to worship at this moment, for fear of arousing Gangjun's suspicion. After taking a sip of tea, the deacon had already prepared the sedan chair prepared by the county, so Bai Gong took the sedan chair and went to the county office. It is forbidden to raise the flag and set off cannons, play music and open the door. Go to the office and let you live in the West Flower Hall.

Just put on his clothes and hat early, and when Bai Gong came in, he asked for a book. After the meeting, Bai Gong asked Wei Jia in detail about the case and how to ask the law. Gangbi told them one by one, quite proud, and said, "Gong Bao sent a letter, I don't know who to listen to, the situation of this case, according to the humble position, has become an iron case, and there is no doubt about it." But this Wei Lao is quite rich and literate, and he gave a thousand silver to the lowly position, and the lowly position came to collect it, so he bought someone to come to the palace security office to disturb the black and white. I heard that there was a man who sold medicine, and he got a lot of money from him, and sent a letter to the palace guard. Because of the money, this man bought a prostitute at that time and still lived outside the city. I heard that if this case is really turned over, I will thank him for a few thousand silver, so this Lang Zhong will not leave, and will wait for Xie Yi. It seems that this person should also be brought up for interrogation. The revelation of this person's stolen evidence has added another layer of evidence. Bai Gong said: "What my brother has seen is very much. But the brother must read the whole case tonight, and bring in the evidence of the people in the case tomorrow before reasoning. Or according to the old brother's judgment, it can also be seen that he does not dare to have prejudices at this moment. Like the old brother, he is smart and upright, and if he has a plan in advance, he will naturally have no disadvantage. The brother's qualifications are very reckless, so he has to talk about the matter, carefully ask, and dare not say that there is no fault, but it is a blessing to be able to be few. After that, he said some gossip about the scenery in the province.

After dinner, Bai Gong returned to his room, looked at the whole case carefully, and sent out a list to mention tomorrow. The next day, when the card was already played, the door reported: "The people have been raised." Please tell me: Do you want to sit in the hall after this afternoon, or do you want to get up early tomorrow? Bai Gongdao: "The people and certificates are ready, so sit in the lobby at this moment." There are three seats in the hall. Gang and Wang Erjun hurriedly went up to ask for a peace, and said: "Please take care of yourself, the lowly rank does not dare to jury, for fear that something is inappropriate, and should be recused." Bai Gongdao: "Say what you say there." The brothers are reckless, and their spirits can't be taken care of, and they are looking forward to the two brothers. The two of them did not dare to be too modest.

Stop, the hall has been completed, and the manuscript sign door begs for promotion. All three of them came out dressed and sat in the lobby. Bai Gong raised the red pen, and the first to pass on the plaintiff Jia Gan. He was sent to bring Jia Gan and knelt down in front of him. Bai Gong asked, "Your name is Jia Gan?" He replied, "Yes." Bai Gong asked, "Are you teenagers this year?" He replied, "Sixteen years old." Asked: "Is it the biological life of the deceased Jia Zhi, or is it the inheritance?" He replied: "This is the nephew of the concubine, and he inherited it from the house." Asked, "When did it come to pass?" He replied: "Because his deceased father was killed and died, he was buried the next day, and no one was served, and he was accepted by the clan to succeed him." ”

Bai Gong asked again: "When the county official inspected him, did you already come over?" Answer: "It's already here." Asked: "When you were buried, did you see it in person?" He replied, "Look at the burial." Ask: "What color is the face of a dead man when he is buried?" He replied, "The white ones are like the dead." Asked, "Do you have bruises?" Answer: "No." Ask: "Is the joint stiff or not?" He replied, "Not stiff." Asked: "Neither stiff, but have you ever felt the heat in your chest?" Answer: "Someone touched it and said there was no heat." Asked: "When did you know that there is arsenic in the moon cake?" Answer: "I found out on the second day of burial." Asked, "Who sees it?" Answer: "My sister saw it." Asked, "How did your sister know that there was arsenic in it?" Answer: "I didn't know that there was arsenic in it, but I suspected that there was something wrong with the mooncake, so I opened it and looked at it carefully, and saw that there were pink spots and hairs, so I asked someone." Some people said that it was arsenic, so they asked the pharmacy to take a closer look, and they also said that it was arsenic, so they knew that they were poisoned by arsenic. ”

Bai Gong said, "Got it." Go down! He shook the pen a little and said, "Spread the four beautiful Zhai." "Send someone to bring it. Bai Gong asked, "What's your name?" Who are you from Si Mei Zhai? He replied: "The villain's name is Wang Futing, and he is in charge of Simeizhai." Asked: "How many catties did the Wei family make moon cakes?" Answer: "I made twenty pounds." Asked: "Was the stuffing sent by the Wei family?" He replied, "Yes." Asked: "Do you make 20 catties, will you make no more and no less?" He said, "It was twenty pounds, and eighty-three." Asked: "The moon cakes he ordered are a kind of filling?" Are there two kinds of stuffing? Answer: "One, all of them are rock sugar, sesame seeds, and walnut kernels." Q: "What kind of stuffing do you sell?" Answer: "There are several." Asked: "Do you have ice essence sesame walnut kernels?" Answer: "Yes." Asked, "The stuffing in your shop is better than his stuffing?" Answer: "It's the good point of his house." Ask: "What are the benefits?" Answer: "The villain doesn't know, I heard the secretary who makes moon cakes say that his ingredients are good, and the taste is more fragrant and sweet than ours." Bai Gong said: "However, the clerk in your store tasted it first, don't you think it's poisonous?" He replied, "I don't think so." ”

Bai Gong said, "Got it." Go down! He put the pen a little bit and said, "Take Wei Qian." Wei Qian walked up, kowtowed again and again, and said, "My lord! Wronged! Bai Gong said: "I don't ask if you are wronged or not!" Listen to me ask you! I don't ask you what you say, you don't say it! The officials on both sides let out a loud "quack".

Judge, what is the reason for this? Whenever the government sits in the court, these officials will shout and scream, called "shouting hall power", so that the prisoner is stunned, and he can confess indiscriminately, I don't know if it is the rule handed down from generation to generation, but it is a teaching in the eighteen provinces. Today, Wei Qian is the main defendant and murderer, so he has to shout a voice and scare him.

The gossip was suspended, but Bai Gong asked Wei Qian, "How many mooncakes have you ordered?" He replied, "Twenty pounds." Asked: "How many catties did you give to the Jia family?" Answer: "Eight pounds." Asked: "Did you send it to someone else's house?" Answer: "I gave my youngest son's father-in-law four catties." Asked, "What about the rest of the eight pounds?" Answer: "My own family has eaten it." Asked: "Are there any people who have eaten mooncakes here?" Answer: "Everyone in the family has a share, and now there is no one who is not eating moon cakes." Bai Gong said to the messenger: "Check it, there are a few people who came with Wei Qian, and they all came to the court." ”

At one moment, an old man and two middle-aged men knelt down. The messenger replied: "This is a steward of the Wei family, two long-term workers. Bai Gong asked, "Do you all eat moon cakes?" They replied in unison, "Eat them all." Ask: "How many people each eat, and say them." The steward said, "I divided four, I ate two, and there are two left." The chief worker said, "Each person was divided into two, and they all ate that day." Bai Gong asked the steward, "When did you eat the remaining two mooncakes?" He replied: "I haven't eaten it yet, so I came out of this case, saying that the moon cakes are poisonous, so I didn't dare to eat them anymore, and kept them as a witness." Bai Gong said, "Okay, did you bring it?" He replied, "Bring it down there." Bai Gong said, "Very good." "Let him send and fetch it with him." He also said: "Wei Qian and the long-term workers will all go down." Then he asked the scribe: "Did you file an arsenic half-moon cake the day before yesterday?" The scribe replied: "The case is in the library." Bai Gong said, "Bring it up." ”

Suddenly, the messenger brought the steward, and the two mooncakes were brought to the court, and the half-moon cakes in the storehouse were also mentioned. Bai Gong passed on Simei Zhai Wang Futing, while proofreading these two kinds of moon cakes in detail, and sent them to Gang and Wang Ergong to see, saying: "These two moon cakes, the skin color is indeed the same, why does the second prince think it is?" The two dukes hurriedly bowed and agreed: "Yes." At that time, Simei Zhai Wang Futing had already brought it to the court, and Bai Gong broke one of the moon cakes and handed them over, asked him to inspect them, and asked, "Did the Wei family ask you to make it?" Wang Futing looked at it carefully and replied: "It's not bad, it's custom-made by my family." Bai Gong said: "Wang Futing told him to go back." ”

Bai Gong took the half of the broken moon cake in the hall, looked at it carefully, and said to Gangbi: "Brother Shengmu, please take a closer look." This moon cake filling is made of rock sugar, sesame and walnut kernels, all of which are oily objects, if arsenic is made in the filling, it will naturally stick to other things. You see, this arsenic is added after the system, and it will never stick to anything else. In addition, there is only one kind of filling. Today, take a closer look at these two kinds of fillings, except for arsenic, they are indeed the same on the inside and outside, they are the same filling, others will not die if they eat it, and the Jia family will die. It is not known by moon cakes. If there is a soup, you can also add poison to it; Moon cakes are things, the skin is dry and hard, and there is no reason to add them. Why do you think so? He bowed and said, "Yes." ”

Bai Gong said again: "Since there is no poison in the moon cakes, the father and daughter of the Wei family are innocent people, and they can be made to close the case." The prince replied, "Yes." Gangbi was very sad in his heart, but he couldn't say anything, so he had to agree with "yes".

Bai Gong immediately took Wei Qian and said, "This government has verified that there is no poison in the moon cakes, and your father and daughter are not guilty, so you can close the case and go home." Wei Qian kowtowed a few times.

Bai Gong called to bring Jia Gan up again. Jia Gan was originally a useless person, but his sister supported him to come forward, and today seeing that the Wei family's father and daughter have been released from the case, his heart is a little upset; When he heard that he had been preached, not only could he not say what had been taught to him by his predecessors, but even those who taught him did not know where he had been taught at this moment.

Jia Gan came to the court, and Bai Gong said: "Jia Gan, since you inherited your deceased father as a son, you should carefully study how these twelve people died; If you don't have a way, you should ask others; Why do you add arsenic to moon cakes to frame good people? Wicked men will stir you up. Recruit from the truth, who taught you to make false accusations. Don't you know that there is a law of recital? Jia Gan hurriedly kowtowed, trembling with fright, and said with tears: "I don't know! My sister told me to do it! The arsenic in the cake was also told to me by my sister, and I didn't know anything else. Bai Gong said: "According to what you say, if it is not for your sister to come to the court, this arsenic case will not be investigated?" Jia Gan just kowtowed.

Bai Gong laughed and said: "You are fortunate to have met me, if you are a shrewd and capable committee member, this moon cake case is over, and the arsenic case should be turned upside down." I don't like to bring other women to court easily, you go back and tell your sister that this arsenic must have been added later. Who added it, I won't be busy investigating it for the time being, because the thirteen lives of your family are a big mystery case, and they must be investigated. Therefore, the matter of arsenic has to be postponed for the time being, what do you think? Jia Wei kowtowed again and again: "Let the adults decide." Bai Gongdao: "Since this is the case, let him make an agreement and let him take the case." When he went down, he shouted again: "If you make any more nonsense, I will investigate the case of arsenic false accusations!" Jia Ganlian said: "Don't dare, don't dare!" "I went down to the church.

Here Bai Gong said to the prince respectfully: "Do you have any fine points in your county?" Zi Jin promised: "It's good to have a Xu Liang." Bai Gong said, "Pass it on." "I saw a messenger walking up below, in his forties, who had not yet left a beard and knelt down in front of the public case, and said;" Xu Liang kowtowed, "Bai is fair; First, you went to Qidong Village to investigate whether these thirteen murders were poisoned, and what are the other cases? You are limited to one month, and you are not allowed to use a little official power. If you deceive by this, you will be put to death. Xu Liang kowtowed: "Don't dare." ”

At that time, the prince immediately marked the card ticket and handed it to Xu Liang. Bai Gong said again: "All the previous witnesses will be released without bail." Flipping over the case casually, he found two pieces of Wei Qian's written evidence, and said, "Send Wei Qian up again." ”

Bai Gongdao: "Wei Qian, do you want the silver ticket sent by your manager?" Wei Qian said: "The staff is wronged, Lord Meng Zhaoxue, all the silver, let the Lord fall." Bai Gong said: "The 5,500 vouchers will be returned to you." This thousand silver tickets, but the government wants to borrow them, but they are not used by me, and they are temporarily stored in the warehouse, and they are still the case of Chajia's family, so they have to use the axe first. After the case is clarified, the government has returned to Futai and will still return you. Wei Qianlian said: "Willingly, willingly." "When he put the notes away, he went down to the church.

Bai Gong handed over the 1,000 silver tickets to the scribe, went to the money house to take the silver, and paid it with the official documents of the government. turned around and smiled at Gangbi and said, "Brother Shengmu, can't help but laugh at the brother who took bribes in court?" Gangbi said: "Don't dare." So he beat the drum and withdrew.

But said that this big case, everyone in Qihe County knows, yesterday Bai Taizun arrived, today the heirs, Na Jia, Wei are ready to live for at least ten days and half a month, that knows that before an hour, the case has been closed, and word of mouth along the road is praised.

But it was said that Bai Gong retreated to the flower hall, stepped into the threshold, and only listened to a large self-striking bell placed in it, which rang twelve times, as if to welcome him. The prince came in and said, "Please eat with a wide coat." Bai Gongdao: "I'm not busy." Seeing that Gangbi also followed, he said, "Please sit down, brother, I have something to say." The two sat down. Bai Gong said to Gangbi: "Is this case reasonable? Gangbi said: "My lord is clear, and he can't be wrong." It's just that the humble always doesn't understand: this Wei family has no shortcomings, why is it willing to spend money? He has never given anyone a penny in his life. ”

Bai Gong laughed and said: "My brother has not given anyone money, why will he respect you when he comes to power?" It can be seen that not all people in the world are open-minded about money. The incorruptible people are the most admirable. There is only one person with a bad temper, he always feels that everyone in the world is a villain, and he is the only one who is a gentleman. This idea is the most harmful, and I don't know how much it has harmed the world's major events! The old brother also made this mistake, no wonder the brother said bluntly. As for the Wei family's spending money, it is not surprising that he is a countryman who has no knowledge. He said to Zi carefully: "At this moment, the case is over, but it seems that someone has taken our two business cards, and invited Tie Gong to come in and sit down." He smiled at Gangbi and said, "Doesn't this person, Brother Shengmu, know?" It's the medicine seller you just said. The surname is Tie, the name is Ying, the number is disabled, he is a gallbladder man, extremely knowledgeable, and extremely easy in temperament, and never refuses to despise people. My brother even treats him as a villain, so I'm going too far. ”

Gangbi said: "Could it be that he is the 'old crippled old cripple' in the province, is that him?" Bai Gongdao: "It's not! Gangbi said: "I heard a legend that the palace guard asked him to move into the yamen to live, donate officials for him, protect him, he didn't want it, and he escaped in the middle of the night, is he the one?" Bai Gongdao: "How dare you." Your Excellency would like to bring him to the hearing. Gangbi blushed and said, "That's really despicable and reckless." This person has heard his name for a long time, but he has not seen it. Zijin got up again and said, "My lord, please change your clothes." Bai Gongdao: "Everyone changed their clothes, so they could drink happily." ”

Wang and Gang returned to the house, changed their clothes, and still went to the flower hall. It happened that the old cripple also arrived, so he first made a gesture for Zijin, and then made a gesture for Bai Gong and Gangbi, and let them sit down on the kang. Bai Gong accompanies him. The old remnant said: "Such a big case, it was closed in half an hour, Mr. Zishou, how fast!" Bai Gongdao: "How dare you! The first half of the first half is easy to make, I have already done; The problem in the second half of the section is about to fall on Mr. Mending the Disabled. The old cripple said: "Where does this start!" I'm not an adult, I'm not a small servant, what's the matter with me? Bai Gongdao: "Who wrote the letter from the palace guard?" The old man said: "I wrote it." Should I see death and not be saved? Bai Gongdao: "Yes." The undead should be saved, and the dead should not be revealed? Do you think, how can this kind of strange case be done by ordinary poor people? As a last resort, I asked you about this Sherlock Holmes. The old man smiled: "I don't have such great ability. It's not difficult for you to let me go, please ask Master Wang to make up for my fast shift first, and then mark a card ticket, and I'll go. ”

As he spoke, the meal was ready. The prince said, "Please eat." Bai Gongdao: "Isn't Huang Renrui also here?" Why don't you come here? Zijin said: "I have been invited." Before the words were spoken, Renrui had arrived and made a reply. Zijin lifted the flask and was in a dilemma. Bai Gongdao: "Naturally, the head of the prince sits." The old remnant said: "I can't take it." "Let it go, but it is still the old man who sits in the first seat, and the white man sits in the second seat. After eating a bottle of wine and making an order, Bai Gong said that although he sent Xu Liang to go, it was a face, and if he asked the old man to work hard, he repeatedly admonished. Zijin and Renrui instigated from the side, and the old man had no choice but to agree.

Bai Gong said again: "There are 1,000 silver from the Wei family, you can take it and apply it first." If it is insufficient, Brother Zijin can plan on his behalf, without sparing any expense, and always solving the case is the first priority. The old remnant said: "You don't need the silver, the four hundred silver in our province has been taken, and I am about to return the son and brother, so it is better to use it first." If the case is found, it will be paid back to Lao Zhuang; If I can't find out, I'll fly away and stop being ugly here. Bai Gong said: "That also makes." It's just that you have to use it to get it, and you must not ignore the small things and mistake the big things. The old man agreed: "Yes." "After the meal was over, Bai Gong immediately crossed the river and returned to the province to sell poorly. The next day, Huang Renrui and Gangbi also went back to the province. I don't know what happened next, and I'll listen to the next breakdown. (To be continued.)
