"At the same time, there are 100,000 people in Pomegranate County, just 80,000, one person a month and one tael, that is 80,000 taels of silver, in this case, Zhang Zhixian, show Song the voucher you handed over to the treasury!"

Zhang Ji panicked and said angrily: "Song Tixing, you are serious about this, there are 100,000 people in Pomegranate County, but it does not mean that everyone has paid taxes, haven't you seen someone leave their hometown?" It is precisely because they can't pay their taxes that they leave. ”

He continued; "As for the tax of 80,000 silver, how can there be so much, this is impossible..."

"Oh yes? Since this is the case, then please trouble Zhang Zhixian to show Song the proof that he has received the tax. It's impossible not to write it!"

Zhang Ji frantically looked at the head catcher and signaled, "Come on, go and bring the tax certificate in this official house to Song Tixing, remember not to worry, look for it slowly, you must find it."

The head catcher comprehended, and immediately ran out, and after a while, he ran out with an account book, "Lord Zhixian, the little one has already brought the account book." ”

Zhang Ji took it, then walked over and handed it to Song Ci, "Song Tixing, this is the tax recorded above, you can take a look."

"Since the magistrate has already said so, what else does Song have to shirk?" Song Ci took it, opened it and took a look, and the next moment it smashed on Zhang Ji's face.

"Zhang Zhixian, you are so bold, this month's tax is only fifty taels? Even if it's these people in the county who do business, it's more than that, and besides, the ink is still wet, so obviously making false accounts, can you be guilty?"

Zhang Ji opened it and saw that it was indeed the case, he was angry, turned around and glared at the head catcher, "Wang Zhutou, you are so bold, the official wants you to give the account book, why did you give this thing?" In the meantime, who told you to make fake accounts?"

Wang Zhutou's frightened body trembled, and he said tremblingly: "My lord, didn't you just ask the little one to do it?" And let me slow down and look carefully, isn't this a hint of small?"

Zhang Ji felt that he was going to be angry to death sooner or later, bastard, bastard, such a fake, how could Song Ci not understand? This is clearly a problem.

He was so angry that he didn't want to say anything, he looked at Song Ci and said: "Lord Song, you also saw it, just now this head catcher made his own opinion, and it has nothing to do with the petty official, you still have to know everything about this matter."

Song Ci said: "So far, Song doesn't want to pursue this matter, but Zhang Zhixian, regarding the case of the death of the Xu family, Song hopes that you can take out the case file, and this case must be unjust."

Zhang Ji replied one after another, rummaged in a cabinet for a while, and then said: "Lord Song, this is the file of this case, and the lower officials dare to guarantee that there is no unjust, false and wrongful case in this matter, and the lower officials are willing to use the head as a guarantee."

Song Ci said: "Use your head to guarantee, Song has written it down."

After turning over for a while, Song Ci's face became even more ugly, and then he smashed it on the ground and said angrily: "It's all perjury, it's all perjury, there is not a word of truth on it, Zhang Ji, you are really bold."

"Perjury?" His face was a little ugly, "Lord Song, the officials can't figure it out about this matter, why do you know it's perjury just by looking at it?" You're too confident, aren't you?

Before Song Ci could speak, Zhang Ji continued: "In order to investigate this case, the lower officials spent several days, visiting and collecting evidence, Lord Song, you say this, the lower officials do not agree."

"Don't agree? That's good, now Song will let you identify with it. Song Ci continued: "Half a year ago, Zhang Zhixian received a report from Liu Wu, a firewood villager in Pomegranate County, saying that a female corpse was found on the top of the mountain.

"Not bad." He didn't deny it.

Song Ci said: "After Zhang Zhixian judged, he quickly identified Liu Wu as the murderer, so he was immediately put in prison for trial, but this person is not a murderer, how can he admit his guilt now?" So, Zhang Zhixian was even bolder, and he directly cut it first, right?"

Xiaoxiang cried as soon as she could, almost fainting, Qin Xiaoyue hurriedly helped her up.

"What do you mean to be cut without a trial? Lord Song? Don't you say that: right? Why did the lower officials cut people without going through the execution ground? This is against the laws of the Great Song Dynasty. ”

"Violating the laws of the Great Song Dynasty? If someone else said it, Song would have believed it, but at this moment, it is your turn Zhang Zhixian, I'm afraid Song won't agree, let me ask you, what time is Liu Wuchu's beheading?"

Zhang Ji said: "It's three o'clock in the afternoon, and it's a lot."

"It's three o'clock in the afternoon, isn't it? Then why did no one see the execution that day when Song visited? In broad daylight, in broad daylight, could it be that no one has seen this scene?"

"It's... Actually, it was the lower official who was confused, and it was the middle of the night that day when he cut off his head, and the lower official remembered it wrongly. ”

"It's midnight, then Song Mouyi you, Xiaoxiang, let me ask you, when will your husband's body arrive? Is there any scars on his body?'

"My lord, it was shipped in the afternoon, and he had a lot of wounds on his body, some from the whip, some from the soldering iron, and the people... The folk girls couldn't bear to look at it. ”

Afternoon? Song Ci sneered: "Zhang Zhixian, you said that the corpse was beheaded in the middle of the night, but the family said that the corpse was delivered in the afternoon?" Could it be that you executed the prisoner and then transported it back? And for more than a dozen hours? What can we say about the past?"

This.... Zhang Ji was speechless.

Song Ci continued: "Okay, let's not investigate where the murderer was beheaded for the time being, let's take a look at it now, and see if this Liu Wu is the murderer."

"It is recorded in the case file that Liu Wunai threw his body on the mountain after killing someone, and now Song asks you, what is his motive for killing? Why kill a stranger who has no grievance?"

"It's... This is not simple, the deceased is the concubine of the Xu Mansion, and her family has money, so ah, she chose to kill people and take money. ”

"Then may I ask Zhang Zhixian, how much money was robbed of the deceased? And then you can find money from Liu Wu?"

She stopped talking, and chose to be silent, this kind of question he had never considered, and he was not prepared to be asked so suddenly.

Song Ci said: "Zhang Zhixian, Song asked you, it's just a question and three don't know, do you dare to say that this is not an unjust case?" What else do you have to say at this moment?"

"This.... This Lord Song, although Xia Guan said that he didn't know anything, but...~ But it doesn't mean that this Liu Wu is not a murderer, right? Besides, what does he do in the mountains early in the morning?

"What to do up the mountain? Simple!" Looking at Xiaoxiang, Song Ci said, "Can you answer this question for Song?"

Xiaoxiang said: "My lord, my husband has to go to the mountain every day to cut firewood to sell, and our family lives on this, but who knows that this deceased died on the top of the mountain."

Song Ci said: "Zhang Zhixian, do you understand now?" The murderer in this case went to chop wood, and most importantly, Song asked you, what object did the deceased be slapped to death?'

Zhang Ji said: "What else? There are rocks everywhere on the top of the mountain, and you won't die if you hit the head like this? Song Tixing, you won't deny this!"

Song Ci heard this, "Zhang Zhixian, Zhang Zhixian, you said before that Liu Wu was a murderer and threw away his body, and now you said that he was hit by a stone on the top of the mountain and died, what else do you have to say at this moment?"

When everyone heard this, this is indeed the case, this should be a loophole, what else is there to explain in this case? As soon as the magistrate asked, he knew that the murderer was Liu Wu, which was unreasonable.

As soon as Xiaoxiang wiped his tears, he already felt something, Liu Wu's grievances were about to be washed away, which was really good.
