Chapter 53: Handwriting

"Sir, sir...... No, the slave has never coveted this silver. Master, you spared the minions......"

"Shut up, you have lost my face, I dare not use such a slave who is greedy for money and deceives the master, you can take the deed of sale when you go back, and leave my house with your family, I can't use you anymore."

When the housekeeper heard this, he suddenly struck in his heart, this is the meaning of letting his family out of the house and returning the deed of sale? This matter is at most a greedy person, as long as the lord does not pursue it, the government is not easy to manage, if he is loyal and carries this matter, the lord will not treat him badly. Or......

"An Jiaxian's nephew, let you suffer, it's all this slave who deceived and deceived you, but don't worry, I will punish him well when I go back and give you an explanation."

Zhang Qing's words were sincere, and he made a very angry expression on his face, An Yinhuo only pursed the corners of his mouth coldly when he saw it, and Shi Yuandao understood it even more clearly, this Zhang Qing gave up the housekeeper to protect himself, what an old fox. Only the surrounding people are suspicious, is it really the housekeeper who is greedy for money?

"Master, please spare me, I'm confused for a while."

The housekeeper hugged Zhang Qing's thigh all of a sudden, crying with tears in his eyes, at this moment the housekeeper meant to carry the matter down.

The crowd was in an uproar instantly, it was really done by this housekeeper! The heart is too ruthless, and he is greedy for ninety percent of two hundred taels of silver at once, so he leaves a fraction for others. Shi Yuandao watched the performance of the master and servant, and his heart seemed to be mirrored, it was really a bitter trick, hum!

At this moment, from the side door of the main hall, a small step suddenly ran in a small step, and the official whispered a few words in Shi Yuandao's ear, and saw Shi Yuandao's frowning brow loosened.

"You let him come."

After saying a word, the official ran out of the original side door. After a while, a young gentleman walked from the main entrance of the lobby, first saluted Shi Yuandao, and then spoke slowly.

"Lord Qiqi, the handwriting verification has already resulted."

This man was a petty official, but no one despised him because of his low position, because this man was the gentleman who was in charge of verifying his handwriting and fingerprints, and he was a very learned man. His ability is not something that ordinary people can learn, and many cases also need his appraisal help, so this little official's status in Dali Temple is very special.

"Lord Qiqi, I have compared this letter with Mr. Zhang's daily letters and official letters, and proved that this letter was indeed written by the same person."

Zhang Qing, who had been paying attention to the movement, was not calm when he heard this, how could this be possible? This letter was definitely not written by yourself! Thinking about it, I looked at the old gentleman...... This person must have been bought, so he subconsciously retorted.

"It's nonsense, this can't be, this official has never written this letter. But it was you, who gave you the benefit, and asked you to frame this official like this! ”

Zhang Qing was so angry that he not only slapped Dali Temple in the face when he said this, but also involved His Royal Highness the Prince, who had been sitting quietly here. Thinking about it carefully, An Yinhuo is a kid with no power and no power, if it weren't for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to support him today, if he couldn't get Shi Yuandao to beat people out directly, Zhang Qing said this now, wouldn't it insinuate that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had bought this little official?

"Smack~"

Jin Shuichen put the teacup heavily on the coffee table and stared at Zhang Qing coldly, but he didn't say a word. Shi Yuandao was also angry, looked at the prince's ugly face, and directly reprimanded.

"Lord Zhang, this official thinks that you are an official and more tolerant, and now you not only frame the officials of my Dali Temple for no reason, but also disturb the public court again and again. If you do this, this will never be tolerated. Someone came, and slapped his mouth as a warning. ”

The official didn't dare to hesitate when he heard this, seeing that Shi Yuandao was really angry, this slap was not light, only to hear a snap, and the corners of Zhang Qing's mouth instantly flowed.

The crowd who watched the excitement also took a breath in unison, and of course there were many people gloating. Jin Shuichen's face eased when he saw this, and Zhang Qing was directly beaten stupid.

"If Lord Zhang can't trust the villain's skills, you can ask some famous peers to verify it, and if it really proves me wrong, the lower official will apologize to you."

This little official has been doing this business for so many years, and he is quite famous among his peers, and he is very confident in his own skills. And he didn't think that anyone would come to take this errand after he had finished the examination, which was undoubtedly a taboo in the industry. His line of work is often doubted and criticized, and if everyone goes to tear each other down, then it is impossible for his line of work to survive for a long time. So over time, a rule has been formed, and peers will not take over cases that others are responsible for, which is why the little officials dare to be so tough.

"Don't be presumptuous, the official has the final say in this matter, and your technical officer can still be trusted."

Hearing what his subordinates said, Shi Yuandao hurriedly came out to play a round game, glanced at Zhang Qing at the same time, and said nonchalantly: "Of course, if Lord Zhang doesn't believe it, you can wait for his palace trial to ask for a new test." ”

According to the process, now An Yinhuo has sued Zhang Qing in Dali Temple, and this matter will be tried by Dali Temple. Unless the emperor decrees that the three divisions will be tried, or the trial of the case is over, and the emperor finds problems during the review, he will try it again. But looking at Zhang Qing's situation, there shouldn't be this opportunity.

Zhang Qing heard Shi Yuandao's words, instantly sobered up, and hurriedly shouted injustice.

"My lord, I didn't mean that, but the lower officials were wronged...... Xia Guan really didn't write to An Yinhuo, by the way, someone must have imitated my handwriting. And I don't know what was written in the letter, why I wrote to him. ”

"Oh, you don't know what is written in the letter, this is the official's negligence, so the official will read it to you."

Shi Yuandao listened to Zhang Qing's words slowly, and his tone was even a little sarcastic, thinking in his heart, if he gives you the letter, if you ruin it, who will he go to? I have to say that this Shi Yuandao is cautious.

"Yin Huo Xian's nephew, seeing the letter is like meeting, I have learned about my father's affairs, but I have more than one wish, but my strength is insufficient, and I am heartbroken when I hear the bad news. Recently, I heard that your mother and son are in a worrying situation, and I specially ordered the housekeeper to bring twenty taels of silver for temporary resettlement...... There will be more later, and the official will not read it. ”

Shi Yuandao can now conclude that this letter was written by Zhang Qing, and he still believes in the ability of his subordinates, and then thinks of the housekeeper who said that he gave An Yinhuo twenty taels of silver, which is also consistent with what is written in the letter, Shi Yuandao no longer suspects that Zhang Qing made an appointment with An Yinhuo, and then framed Fang Zhengyun.

"Master Zhang, according to this official, you obviously intended to send only twenty taels of silver to An Yinhuo, so that his mother and son had no choice but to accept your invitation from Songyunguan. After knowing that they were captured by General Fang's men, they will go to the main hall to shout grievances and frame General Fang! Master Zhang, it's really tall. ”

"My lord is really wronged, Xia Guan really never wrote this letter, but Xia Guan went to Songyun Guan only after receiving the letter, only to see that they were taken away by General Fang's men......"

"It's nonsense, the evidence is conclusive, you still quibble, do you really wait for the official to give you a big punishment?" Shi Yuandao now completely doesn't believe Zhang Qing, An Yinhuo's statement is reasonable. But there is someone behind this Zhang Qing, it is not good to offend too much, and when he raised his eyes, he saw the housekeeper kneeling on the side, and he thought about it.

"Bold Dong Fugui, this letter clearly said that there were only twenty taels of silver, and you actually said that it was two hundred taels, I don't think I will beat you, you are not telling the truth. Come on, hit the 30 boards first. ”

"Yes"

The two classes of officials responded, and pressed people on the bench resolutely, Dong Fugui was beaten and screamed before he could say anything, but the people who watched the excitement on the side did not sympathize, such a villain deserved to suffer some crimes.

"My lord spare my life, sir, sir, save me......"

Dong Fugui was beaten in pain, this will have begun to shout and scream, after thirty crackling beatings, he couldn't stand up at all, and was carried to the lobby by the official with a stick, unable to kneel, so he could only lie on his stomach.

"Dong Fugui, let me ask you again, how much silver did you send, and did you have any letters?"

"My lord really doesn't have a letter, the silver is two hundred taels ......" Dong Fugui will be beaten, thinking that as long as he grits his teeth and survives, at least he can let the master thank him, otherwise it will really be a bad end.

"Hehe, it's a hard bone, then let's see if your bones are hard, or the board of Dali Temple is hard, and someone will hit thirty boards."

"Ah, my lord, my lord, spare my life, spare my life, I ...... I'll say it all. ”

Dong Fugui heard that there were still thirty boards, if he really fought, then if he didn't get his life right, he would be sent here, even if he didn't die, he would have to live in bed for the rest of his life. If he doesn't admit it now, he is dead, but if he does, he has a way to live...... Looking at the current situation, his lord is now unable to protect himself, if the lord is really sentenced, then ...... He confessed but was not guilty. Thinking of this, Dong Fugui no longer hesitated to shout

"My lord, the lord did let me only send twenty taels of silver to Gongzi An that day, and ...... And there is also a letter. ”

After Cao Fugui said this, he felt that the whole person was prostration, and he didn't know what it felt like, there was weakness, relief, and nervousness.

"Bold dog minion, you dare to frame me, you don't want to live anymore."

Listening to Cao Fugui's words, Zhang Qing's eyes were about to pop out, he didn't expect this bold dog slave to really dare to say this, on the contrary, all of them were reversed, he was not afraid that he would go back and ask for his life. Zhang Qing was angry and hurriedly yelled out, forgetting the slap just now.

"Bold Zhang Qing! It seems that the punishment given by the official just now is too light, so you will forget it for a while, and dare to disturb the court. Come on, give me ten slaps on the face.

"My lord, the lower official is out of shape, please show mercy to my subordinates, big ......"

Before Zhang Qing finished shouting, the official had already stepped forward, and ten slaps were mercilessly slapped on his face, Zhang Qing's cheeks were instantly swollen, and even his facial features were a little deformed.
