Chapter 44: Jokes

After a short period of consideration, Song Ci already had an idea.

"Hou Zhi County, today we can give up proving Wang Er's innocence for the time being, but there must be one thing that is indispensable, that is, to prove Hou Zhi County's sin.

"Lu Sheng, bring everyone in."

"It's my lord!"

Soon, the two old men were brought in, and Shushi, who was sitting on the side in the distance, his face changed at this moment, and he thought to himself that it was over, everything was over.

Weren't these two men executed by the officials? Suddenly, he understood that the three officials had not come back recently, so it can be seen that they seemed to have been caught.

The three of them entered the house, and the two old men glared at Hou Tianhua fiercely in the next moment, and then looked at Song Ci.

"Lord Song, our two old men are here, today, if you want to ask, just ask, the old man will definitely not talk nonsense."

Hou Tianhua looked at these two people, he always had a little ominous premonition, vaguely, he knew that something big seemed to be going to happen, a very big thing.

Song Ci said: "Old man, let's not talk about anything else today, let's just talk about Houzhi County in this Ping'an County, and what happened to you on the street yesterday, how about it?"

The two replied, and Song Ci said: "When Song was on the street, I saw people coming from time to time to claim that Houzhi County was a parent official, and for the sake of the people, he almost became ill from hard work, which was touching, but I don't know if this matter is a book history."

An old man said: "My lord doesn't know, these people are hired by this Hou Tianhua, every ten days and a half months, they will sing the praises of this Hou Zhi County on the street, it is said that there is almost one or two silver in a month."

Song Ci said: "I see, when Song and Houzhi County met for the first time that day, they were fortunate to see this group of people, their expressions were exaggerated, and seeing Houzhi County was like seeing their parents."

Hou Tianhua slapped the table and shouted angrily: "Nonsense, when did this official hire these people to sing praises to himself?" You two old Diao people, trying to destroy the image of this official in the hearts of the people, come on, give me a hundred big boards. “

Song Ci immediately stopped, "Houzhi County, the two old men are old, I'm afraid they can't withstand your beating, it's a big deal, Song believes that you are for the time being." ”

Hou Tianhua didn't say anything, he felt that things were already developing in a bad way, and it was no longer a good end, and the book history next to him was trembling, he was weighing at the moment, if he couldn't hide it for a while, how would it end.

Song Ci said: "Houzhi County, I think you must be familiar with these two old people in front of you, didn't you come to Yamen yesterday?" It's just that Hou Tianhua is worthy of being a magistrate, and after feeling something unusual, he immediately sent Shushi to go, right. ”

Hou Tianhua panicked: "Song Ci, what do you want to say?"

Song Ci said: "Say something, since Houzhi County doesn't know, then old man, can you tell me about the situation at that time, so that Houzhi County can know it!"

An old man said: "Lord Song, when we were walking on the street that day, we suddenly saw this Shushi with a few officials surrounding us, beating us up, and he also asked the officials to deal with us, if it weren't for the sharp eyes of your men, otherwise we would have died."

Song Ci said: "These are all things within their responsibility, they follow Song, they will definitely not die without help, Shushi, now that someone is pointing out you, what do you have to say?"

”... It's all...

"What is this?" Hou Tianhua said angrily: "Shushi, you are too bold, Song Tixing is just a joke with you, what do you have to worry about?"

As soon as this reassuring pill came out, Shushi's courage really became bigger, and he said hesitantly: "Lord Song, this matter has not been done by Xiao Shi, you have not done it, you can't wronged Xiao Shi."

"Have you been wronged? Old man, since they don't admit it, then you can talk about it, talk about how Houzhi County has become a tyrant in Ping'an County over the years, how it bullied the good and bullied women, and how it preyed on the people. ”

"Yes, sir."

"This Hou Tianhua not only killed innocents indiscriminately, but also went out fishing from time to time, trampled on the old man, and I had a large dealer, and that day came again, and after he ordered this book history to beat me, he gave me two copper plates."

Another said: "Not only that, but he also went around stealing, or stealing chickens and ducks, he couldn't catch fish, and then he went into the pond to steal, and he didn't steal for a year, so he simply poisoned the old man, and all my fish were poisoned!"

The people in the vicinity, I don't know when they also knew, they came from afar, guarded the gate of the ya, and shouted from time to time, "Hit the corrupt official Hou Tianhua, and return a clear sky to the county." ”

Song Ci said: "Hou Zhi County, what else do you have to say now?" Do you want to continue to be obsessed?"

He sneered for a while, and his face gradually became more solemn, "Song Ci, do you think that playing some of this flower sample officer will scare you?" Tell you, these are useless, this official doesn't eat this set. ”

Outside the house, someone had already thrown something in and smashed it into the lobby, and it soon became a mess and a mess.

"Since Hou Zhixian doesn't eat this set, it's easy to do, Wen Cheng, you go and find the women who said good things about him outside to Song, today, Song wants to see how Hou Zhixian saw the coffin before shedding tears.

"It's my lord.

Wen Cheng quickly walked out, the scene was quiet for a while, Song Ci gave the two old people to sit, and then said: "Hou Zhixian, then this opportunity, let's take a look, you said that the murderer is Wang Er, but on the day of the incident, someone can prove that he has not been to the cloth merchant, the old man, you can prove this to me, right!"

The old man said: "Yes, Lord Song, that day, Wang Er was helping the old man collect the dealer, and he had never entered the city for a day, and he killed people, it was simply nonsense!"

Hou Tianhua shouted, "If he didn't kill anyone, why did the official arrest him?" Old man, you are old, you are easy to get dizzy, in my opinion, you can recognize the wrong person.

"No, no, Lord Song, although the old man is old, his eyes are good, so he won't recognize the wrong person."

"Don't you recognize the wrong person? Could it be that the official recognized the wrong person? Dare to make the people, dare to still be there...

"Wait for you, sir!" Song Ci remembered something, and hurriedly said: "Song remembers, you seem to have said that you are the official of the Bushang Daily, how can it be that you are wrong at this moment?" Could it be that you found the murderer?"

Hou Tianhua was embarrassed, and secretly regretted why he was careless just now, so that there were already loopholes now.

"Lord Song, it's the official who is confused and didn't pay attention, if...."

"What if?" Song Ci slapped the table, "Hou Tianhua, no matter how many loopholes Song wants to find in your case, you always have so many reasons, you don't pay attention, you are careless, you are not careful, but it is because of your carelessness or intentionality that someone lost their lives for no reason, Song believes that you should be responsible for this!"
