The red sun slanted westward.

Sun Shaozong reviewed the confessions of a pair of incestuous aunts and nephews, handed them back to Sun Chengye for collection, and poured two sips of refreshing strong tea, and then raised his voice: "Next!" ”

"Uncle Thirteen."

Sun Chengye hurriedly reminded in a low voice: "The eleven cases you selected before have now been resolved. ”

"It's all broken?"

Sun Shaozong was stunned for a moment, and then breathed a sigh of relief, after a whole day of trial, although he did not encounter any difficult cases, but this unresolved and chaotic dispute was enough to make people's heads big.

Rubbing his faintly painful eyebrows, he got up and flicked his sleeves, and Sun Chengye immediately shouted in a timely manner: "Retreat ......"

Who knew that the word 'Tang' had not yet spoken, and he heard the sound of drums outside the door.

These eleven cases have all been concluded, how can there still be people beating drums outside the door?

Didn't it happen that there was a big case again?

Thinking of this, Sun Shaozong hurriedly sat down again behind the public case, and instructed the officials to bring the people who beat the drum and voiced grievances to the hall.

After a short time, two officials brought in one of them with strange faces, but it turned out to be a boy of eleven or twelve years old.

The young man was brought to this court, facing dozens of eyes, he didn't have stage fright at all, he knelt down in a proper manner, held a piece of paper with both hands, and said crisply: "Master Qiqi Qingtian, Xiaomin Li Xian has a grievance to sue!" ”

Sun Shaozong made a look, and someone immediately stepped forward to take the paper and present it to the public case.

Sun Shaozong picked up the paper and swept it through it, but saw that this boy not only wanted to avenge his grievances, but also took it and sued Xu Huaizhi, the commander of Wanping County!

The story is roughly like this, the young Li Xian and his father Li Sheng, originally from Dengzhou, Henan Province, Li Xian's mother died of illness two years ago, and he went to the capital with his father Li Sheng to make a living.

A few days ago, Li Sheng's rice shop, because of the temporary lack of turnover, was ready to temporarily borrow a hundred taels of silver from his friend Chen Xu to tide over the current difficulties.

Originally, the two agreed to meet in the Li family's rice shop in the evening.

Who knew that in the evening, Li Sheng waited left and right in the shop, and he didn't see Chen Xu come to the door with the silver, so in a hurry, he led his men to find Chen's house.

Who knew that only Chen Xu's wife Chang was at home, and Chen Xu's figure was nowhere to be seen - and according to Chen Xu's wife Chang, Chen Xu had already gone out with the silver.

In this way, Li Sheng and Chang searched together for three days, but they still couldn't see anyone alive or dead, so they had no choice but to go to the government to report the case, hoping to find Chen Xu with the help of the government.

Who thought that Xu Huaizhi of Wanping County, and didn't know how to investigate the case, actually decided that Li Sheng had a personal affair with Chang's family, and collaborated to assassinate Chen Xu, and imposed heavy punishment in the court, beating Li Sheng and Chang's family into tricks.

Putting this paper back on the table, Sun Shaozong raised his voice and said: "Li Xian, you said that your father and the Chang family were both beaten by Wanping County, but what evidence do you have?" ”

"Back to your lordship."

Li Xian didn't have stage fright, straightened his waist and arched his hand: "If it weren't for the torture, why did my father confess to the Chen family and aunt for four days, but Wanping County never found Uncle Chen's body?" ”

This is really a statement, since Li Sheng and Chang have confessed, what reason is there to continue to hide the whereabouts of the corpse? So there's something wrong with that!

And Xu Huaizhi's case went wrong, not once or twice.

Therefore, Sun Shaozong immediately ordered someone to take his name post and go to Wanping County Yatina Li Sheng and Chang Shi to the court for interrogation.

After the messenger received the order, Sun Shaozong was very interested, held the complaint in his hand, and asked, "Li Xian, who wrote this complaint?" ”

"Back to the old man."

Li Xian arched his hand and said: "It was written by Xiaomin himself." ”

"But listen to someone else?"

"No, it's all the thoughts of the small people."

Tut~

Although there are some problems with the format of this complaint, the content is clearly organized, and if the teenager did not lie, he could really be called a 'prodigy'.

And Sun Shaozong always felt that the word 'Li Xian' seemed to have been heard somewhere.

It will take a while for Li Sheng and Chang to arrive, and Sun Shaozong simply went to the hall and took the school to take the young Li Xianlai.

Although Li Xian was a little unclear, he also knew the life and death of his father, and at this time it was all in the hands of Sun Shaozong, so he tried his best to deal with it, and there was no trace of cowardice in his eloquent conversation.

Later, even Sun Chengye became interested, and took over the conversation and tested the young man's knowledge of some subsets of scripture and history, but who knew that the young man was even more handy.

In the end, Sun Chengye couldn't help but sigh in private, saying that when he was twelve or thirteen years old, he never had such courage and insight.

The contrast of courage is ignored for a moment, but the intelligence of this young man is really extraordinary.

After about half an hour like this, I saw two prisoners outside, one horizontal and one vertical.

The horizontal one is Li Sheng, who is lying on a stretcher, and seeing his appearance of being pinned and skeletal and his clothes are bloody, he knows that he has suffered a lot in Wanping County.

The erect one was naturally Chang's who walked in, and saw that this woman was quite charming, although her face was terrified, her actions were quite neat.

It seems that this Xu Huaizhi is still a 'patriarchal' master.

"Daddy! You...... Are you alright?! ”

When Li Xian saw his father's appearance, he hurriedly took a few steps forward, stretched out his hand to touch Li Sheng's cheek, but he was afraid of hurting him, so he was choked and speechless for a while, and the tears flowed straight down.

Li Sheng couldn't help but be taken aback when he saw his son kneeling in the court, he stiffened his neck and said in a trembling voice: "My son...... How did my son get here? ”

Li Xian wiped his tears and said: "When the child heard that Lord Sun was promoted to ask about the case today, he wrote a pleadings to avenge him, and his father can rest assured that if Lord Sun asks about the case, he will definitely be able to ......."

Syllable~

Hearing a startling sound, interrupting the farewell between father and son, Sun Shaozong said solemnly after the public case: "Li Sheng, this is not a place for your father and son to chat, what happened on the day of Chen Xu's disappearance, you tell me the truth." ”

As he spoke, he instructed again: "Take Chang down first, and then try later." ”

This is done in order to avoid the two from colluding in court.

didn't mention how Chang's family was taken out of the door, but said that as soon as Li Sheng heard this, he remembered his grievances, and hurriedly said: "Master, master, the villain is really wronged, wronged!" ”

Seeing that he only cared about shouting grievances, Sun Shaozong raised his shock and was about to scold, but Li Xian next to him hurriedly stopped his father and whispered: "Daddy doesn't need to shout grievances, just tell the scene of the day, adults have their own knowledge." ”

Li Sheng put away his crying and started from the beginning.

said that he was self-righteous that day, and he was in the account room behind the rice shop, waiting for Chen Xu to bring the silver, but until the time came, there was still no trace of Chen Xu.

Thinking that someone would come to the door tomorrow to ask for the account, Li Sheng couldn't hold it back, so he called Zhou Feng, the guy who stayed in the rice shop, and hurriedly found the Chen family all the way.

"At that time, the villain was afraid that Brother Chen didn't want to borrow my money, so he deliberately missed the appointment, so he also played a trick and deliberately asked Zhou Feng to come forward and call the door."

"Who knew that after the Chen family brothers and sisters opened the door, they actually said that Brother Chen had gone out with silver early in the morning."

"We were in a hurry, so we looked for it along the way, but we never found any trace of Brother Chen, and then we had to report to Wanping County."

"Who knows that the county respecter doesn't know how to investigate, not to say that I have a personal relationship with the Chen family's younger brothers and sisters, and after assassinating Brother Chen, I went to the county government to shout to catch the thief - and tortured the villain, and the villain was tortured but had to be beaten into a trick."

"In the past few days, the county has been asking the villain where to bury Brother Chen's body, but the villain ...... The villain has never had bad thoughts about Brother Chen, so how do you know where his body sank? ”

Speaking of this, Li Shengzhi couldn't cry aggrievedly.

Sun Shaozong quietly scrutinized his words in his heart, and ordered someone to bring Chang to the hall and asked: "Chang, Li Sheng said that he was beaten by Wanping County, but you have not received any punishment, how can you confess to the crime." ”

"Back to ...... Back to the master's words. ”

The Chang family said timidly: "The tragic situation of Brother Li's torture, the little women all see it, it's really ...... I really didn't dare to try, so I had to rush to admit it. ”

For a timid woman, this is also in the past.

Sun Shaozong nodded and asked again, "What did you do that night?" ”

"Back to the master's words."

Chang continued to say timidly: "After my father-in-law went out with the silver that night, the little woman waited at home, until she heard someone shouting outside the door, and went to the door to inquire about it, only to know that my father-in-law was missing. ”

Chang's account is so simplistic that there is not much information to analyze at all.

Therefore, Sun Shaozong first asked Chen Xu about the time when he left home, as well as his clothes, and quietly set up a sleeve: "What did Li Sheng say when he called the door?" There's something strange about his expression when you go out and see it. ”

Li Sheng opened his mouth when he heard this, but Sun Shaozong suppressed it with a sharp gaze.

That Chang frowned and recalled for a long time, shook his head and said: "It's not the door that Brother Li called, it seems that it was a guy in his shop, calling the little woman outside to talk, as for the expression, ......"

"Wait!"

Without waiting for Chang to finish speaking, Sun Shaozong suddenly asked, "You said that the guy in the store called you over to talk?" What the hell did he shout, you have to learn carefully! ”

Chang was a little inexplicable, but he still suppressed his throat and shouted in a man's tone: "Is the lady of the Chen family and the lady of the Chen family at home?" ”

Then he said: "That's what he shouted, and the slave answered when he came to the courtyard, and the guy asked: 'I have an appointment with Master Chen, but why didn't he come?' ’”

"The little woman said that Xianggong had already gone out, and the eldest brother of the Li family was accosted outside."

Hearing this, Sun Shaozong looked at Li Sheng again, and Li Sheng hurriedly pecked the chicken on his head as if he was pecking rice, and said, "It's exactly like this." ”

"Hehe......"

Sun Shaozong sneered and muttered, "This thief has revealed his clues!" ”
