Chapter 142: The Court

The old man of the yamen in Lin'an City is surnamed Du Mingjun, and the words are regular.

I have to say that this is a very strict name, when Mrs. Du gave his son this name, he must have hoped that his son could be a very well-behaved person in the future. But God does not fulfill people's wishes, Master Du Jun was still upright under the discipline of Old Lady Du when he was a child, but when he became an adult, he became more and more crooked.

In fact, he can't be blamed for this, because no matter who becomes an official, he will definitely not be so well-behaved.

Speaking of which, Du Jun's official luck is not bad, he was promoted to the official after three years of being the magistrate of Qingshui County in his hometown, and after several promotions, he finally became a parent official of the rich and prosperous Lin'an City, and sat in the position of the lord of the Yamen for six years, during which he secretly fished a lot of oil and water, it is no exaggeration to say that a small part of the lord's increasingly swollen stomach is wine and half is oil, as for ink, there is absolutely nothing, even if there was one, now it has long become/urine.

Du Jun is undoubtedly a corrupt official. It's ridiculous to say, when corrupt officials take bribes, they are so bold that they can't help it, but if they really want to encounter something, they can't wait to hide in the belly of the old lady.

Early in the morning, the corrupt official Du Jun was still hiding in the room and hugging his thirteenth aunt in Xinna's thirteenth room to sleep, and suddenly heard the door being slammed, which frightened him into a spirit, and kicked the thirteenth aunt who was like a flower and jade off the bed.

The strength of this kick is really not small, only kicking the thirteenth aunt to the ground and not getting up, only holding her stomach and calling directly, crying and scolding: "Wrongdoer, why are you kicking me so decently?" ”

Du Jun looked at the beauty with rain who was sitting on the ground crying, and then came to his senses.

The thirteenth aunt was just admitted to the house a few days ago, and this day was the newlywed's love and sweetness, and now he saw that he had kicked over someone, Du Jun was also very distressed, and called "little baby, little baby" in his mouth again and again, and personally moved his bulky body to help her, and coaxed her.

After the thirteenth aunt finally wiped away her tears and smiled again, Du Jun breathed a sigh of relief in her heart. Only then did he raise his voice to investigate the initiator outside the door - I don't know which one was not interesting, and knocked on the door for a long time.

"Who!"

The person outside the door said anxiously: "My lord, I have found Bai Gongzi." ”

Du Jun said impatiently: "Just find it?" Send people back! Do you want to come to me about this? I raised your ****? ”

"No!" Come and say, "My lord, Bai Gongzi is dead." What do you think we need to do now? ”

Hearing his words, the thirteenth aunt hid in Du Jun's words.

Du Jun patted her back soothingly, but her brain still couldn't react.

"What do you say? Bai Gongzi is dead? ”

The man who came shouted, "Yes! ”

Du Jun's face turned pale suddenly, and cold sweat broke out on his fat head.

"It's over, it's going to be worse now." He muttered to himself.

The thirteenth aunt took a handkerchief to wipe his sweat uneasily.

People are in a hurry. Seeing that there was no movement in the house, he couldn't help but ask loudly: "My lord, do you say that we should send Bai Gongzi's body back to the Bai family now?" ”

"!" Du Jun scolded: "Don't send it yet." ”

His mind was in a mess at this time, and he just wanted to find a good way to end this matter properly, and not to teach Master Bai to be angry with him because of the loss of his son, so he opened his mouth to ask for the box of silver to go back.

He slapped his thighs again and again, each of which caused the fat to tremble.

He suddenly had a brilliant idea, and jumped excitedlyβ€”oh, of course, his jump. Just stand up a little quicker.

At that moment, he didn't care that he was not wearing a coat, so he only rushed to the door, opened the door, and ordered the catcher outside the house: "Xiao Deng, you go and invite Master Bai to come, just say that Master Bai is dying very strangely, Lord Ben wants to examine it well, and today I will interrogate the group of beggars, let him come and listen." ”

The group of beggars yesterday? Xiao Deng was stunned, because he remembered Xie Yu's words. He couldn't help but hesitate: "Isn't this okay?" In case ......"

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Du Jun loudly, "You don't talk too much, when do you want to talk more about Lord Ben's affairs?" Go, go, go. ”

Xiao Deng had no choice but to go to the Bai family to report the funeral.

The Bai family heard the news of Bai Gongzi's death. Suddenly there was a wail, and Mrs. Bai fainted on the spot, but Master Bai was tougher and didn't fall down, but his spirit was also a little bad, and the whole person seemed to be ten years old suddenly.

After Xiao Deng said that Master Du suspected that Bai Gongzi's death was strange and wanted to invite him to the court to observe. Master Bai came to the spirit again, and excitedly took off the sword hanging on the wall, saying that he would kill the murderer in the hall, Xiao Deng didn't have the courage to stop him, as long as he brought the weapon.

Outside the yamen was already crowded with people, men, women, children, old, weak, sick and disabled, everyone was looking forward to it, and everyone was always in good spirits when watching the excitement.

The four-character plaque of "honest and honest" in the public hall is imposing, and Lord Du Jun, who is sitting on the old man's chair, is fat and looks very tired.

Xiao Deng squeezed through the crowd and respectfully invited Master Bai in.

In the middle of the hall lay a roll of straw mats, covered with a white cloth.

Du Jun wiped his eyes and said in a very painful tone: "Master Bai, look at Ling Gongzi!" ”

Master Du's body suddenly softened.

Xiao Deng had stepped forward very cleverly to lift the white cloth for him, but he only lifted it a little, only revealing the pale face of the white boy, but he didn't care about continuing to lift it, after all, it was not good-looking to have a hole in his stomach to expose his intestines.

Master Du staggered, turned around and threw himself on Bai Gongzi's corpse, and cried bitterly: "My son! ”

Everyone couldn't help but be moved when they saw the old man crying, and thought that this white boy was his only son.

Du Jun secretly pinched his thigh a few times under the bookcase, and finally squeezed out a few tears, but the sound of sniffing was very loud, and he also cried when he spoke.

He said: "People can't be resurrected after death, Master Du must mourn and change!" This official will definitely seek justice for Bai Gongzi! ”

Master Bai wiped a handful of old tears and reluctantly said: "There is Lord Lao, if you can find the murderer of my son, the old man will definitely repay the adult." ”

When Du Jun heard his words, it was like seeing white flowers, his mung bean-sized eyes released a greedy essence, and the fat on his face couldn't help but squeeze upward, but fortunately, he still knew that now was not the time to be happy, so he only coughed heavily, made a very strict and fair look, and slapped the shocked wood hard. He said loudly: "Come on, bring the prisoner up!" ”

The arresters in the hall should be in unison, and two more arresters went to bring the prisoners.

The prisoner soon came, and knelt down in the hall.

Du Jun saw that their hair was messy. His face was dirty, and he looked like he looked the same, and his ears were full of their chaotic justifications, and he only felt dizzy in his head, so he patted the startled wood hard. Bellowed:

"Silence! The prisoners in the hall are not quick to invite you to kill Bai Gongzi! ”

The beggars fell silent.

Lao Pan knelt at the front of the team, only stubbornly shouting grievances.

"My lord knows that we have been wronged!"

Du Jun said: "Wronged? Do you think this official is deaf and blind? You drank flower wine in Changgelou on Red Street the day before yesterday, and then you collided with Bai Gongzi, and you did it without saying a word, and then you simply took Bai Gongzi away, didn't you? ”

Lao Pan shook his head again and again and said, "My lord, this is not the case, we went to Red Street." But we didn't mean to collide with Bai Gongzi, it was Bai Gongzi who first embarrassed one of my brothers, and then raped/defiled the sparrow-tongued girl in Changgelou, and the brothers couldn't see it, so they did it with Bai Gongzi's men. ”

"Oh." Du Jun sneered: "That's your momentary will, or Bai Gongzi." ”

When Lao Pan heard this, it seemed that no matter what they said, Master Du was going to charge them with this crime, and he couldn't help but hurriedly say: "No, no, no." Although we have dealt with Bai Gongzi's men, Bai Gongzi was not taken away by us. Be...... It was taken away by a man in black, and it has nothing to do with us! ”

"The Man in Black?" Du Jun said: "You said that a man in black took it away, where did this man in black come from?" Is it your people in disguise? Or is it your collusion? ”

"My lord! We really don't know who this man in black is! Lao Pan's mouth was bitter and his heart was panicked. Prostrated again and again.

Dashi in the team had the most temper, and when he saw Lao Pan's good words, Master Du didn't believe it, but pointed out that they were premeditated murder, and he was already anxious, and he couldn't help but say loudly at the moment: "It's not me." Have you woken up, my lord? ”

"Presumptuous!" Du Jun stared at his small eyes, and slapped the startling wood in his hand on the bookcase, and the catcher on the side hit Dashi's back with a stick.

Dashi was defenseless for a while, and was immediately beaten down, and the beggar brothers beside him hurriedly reached out to help him.

Lao Pan hurriedly said: "My lord is angry, my brother is such a temper, my lord, you have a lot, please spare him this time!" ”

Du Jun squinted his eyes and said, "Then you admit it?" ”

Lao Pan gritted his teeth hard.

"Fuck me!" Dashi hurriedly said: "Lao Pan, don't admit it, what you haven't done, our brothers won't admit it if you kill you, you can't embarrass the boss!" ”

The beggar brothers said in unison: "Yes! ”

Lao Pan almost gritted that mouthful of yellow teeth, "Okay, let's not recognize it." ”

"Yo-hee." Du Jun said coldly: "It's quite aligned." Do people like you know what righteousness is? Stupid! ”

Lao Pan said in a deep voice: "My lord, in short, what we haven't done, we will never admit it, if you keep saying that we killed Bai Gongzi, then please come up with evidence." ”

Du Jun said: "This official has long known that you will not confess your guilt so lightly, and he has already asked people to find witnesses." Someone is coming, a passenger! ”

The arrester quickly responded and left, and immediately brought the person who had been waiting for a long time.

There are three witnesses, one is the bustard's mother Wang in the Changge Building, one is Bai Gongzi's subordinates, and the other is a visitor outside the Changge Building that day.

"That day, these dozen beggars stole golden beans from somewhere, and came to our Red Street to find a girl, and one of them, a beggar named Lao San, pointed out the tongue of the finch in my building, and the two of them didn't know what to do in the wing." Wang's mother said.

Everyone laughed tacitly when they heard this, what good thing can a lonely man and a widow do when they are alone?

"A few of our brothers were drinking downstairs, and suddenly we heard Childe shouting upstairs, we rushed up to take a look, and saw Childe rolling on the ground with a stomachache, but was he beaten by the beggar called the third child? Childe was beaten, where do we who are subordinates have a reason not to be angry with Childe? Originally, I just wanted to just hit a few casually to let the son relieve his anger, but who knew that a large group of beggars rushed in later, and he started before he could say a word. Bai Gongzi's subordinates said indignantly.

Dashi was unconvinced: "Phew! If you hadn't beaten the third child like that and made people spoil the tongue, we would have done it with you? ”

The subordinate glared and said, "What's wrong with beating him?" Who told him to hit our son first? And that finch tongue, but it's just a/sub, and it's worth your rarity? What is a? Isn't just to make men sleep? We slept with her because we looked up to her, who knew that she was still a dominatrix, and actually stabbed Wang Hui to death with scissors, and Wang Hui also fell moldy for eight lifetimes. ”

"You!" Dashi's eyes flashed with anger, and he was about to struggle to get up and roll up his sleeves to fight him, but he was suppressed by the catcher on the side with a stick.

"What a hard fight that day! The things in the building crackled and smashed, and the head of this group of beggars rode on Bai Gongzi, greeting with a left fist and a right punch! Here, we all feel pain for Bai Gongzi! The spectator sighed.

The old man next to him shed tears again, and cried heartbreakingly: "My hard-working son! ”

The three witnesses have now finished their testimonies, and the testimony is enough to remind those who were not present at the time of the scene.

Du Jun calmed his face and said coldly: "What else do you have to say now?" ”

Lao Pan's face was like ashes, but he still insisted: "We will not refute the above things, but the Lord is judging the cause of Bai Gongzi's death today, and our brother really has nothing to do with Bai Gongzi's death." ”

Du Jun said angrily: "Your mouth is so hard, do you want this official to torture you?" ”

The beggars' faces turned pale.

Dashi gritted his teeth and said: "Anyway, it wasn't us who did it, if you want to beat me, Lao Pan can't stand your toss when he's old." ”

Du Jun narrowed his eyes, so that his eyes were even smaller.

"Okay, you, until now, you are still thinking about righteousness, and this official will fulfill you!" He snorted, "Someone! The other beggars each hit fifty boards, and this one with a hard mouth hit seventy boards! ”

"Yes!" The catchers said in unison, and the sound of the killing rod in their hands hitting the ground was uniform.

The beggars have been arrested, and they are quickly pushed to the ground.

The old Pan is still inevitably beaten, and Du Jun has asked someone to plug his mouth with a cloth in order to prevent Dashi from making any more noise, and now he can only stare dryly.

Old Pan's face was like earth, and he muttered in a low voice: "Third Prince Xie mistook my brother." ”

"Hit!"

The sticks in the hands of the catchers were raised high. (To be continued.) )
