This woman named Pinru was originally the proprietress of a baked cake shop in the west of the city, known as the baked cake Xi Shi, and she was still relatively famous in Jiangning.

Last night, she saw someone sneaking around where her house was drying clothes, and at first she didn't care, but the next day, she found out that the green shirt she wears every day had been stolen.

"There is no reason, it is inhumane, Lord Qingtian, you must be the master of the people's wife!"

At this time, she was holding the green shirt in her hand and was already crying.

The green shirt was actually very old, and there were patches on it, and no one wanted to wear this kind of clothing except for the poor, and women only wore it for work.

However, there are still people stealing such clothes, which is simply madness.

Liu Li, the magistrate of the county, looked at her with black lines, and then knocked on the shocked wood and shouted: "Okay, don't cry, this county asks you, have you seen the appearance of the thief?" ”

Pinru shook her head, "Master, it was so dark last night, how could the women see clearly, but during the day, this official came out of the inn around the corner, and when he went to the women's shop to buy baked cakes, the corner of the clothes happened to be exposed, and the women looked at it, isn't this my stolen clothes, the women were suspicious, but they didn't dare to be sure, after the official left, he handed over the business to the women of the man, and he quietly followed, and the rest of the things, the adults knew about it......"

As soon as he finished speaking, the official who went to search Cao Xiu's room just now immediately knelt down, "The villain should be damned, the villain shouldn't go to the baked cake shop to buy food when he is in the office, but at that time, the villain's stomach was hungry and panicked, this baked cake Shih Tzu's baked cake is famous all over the city, and you have also eaten it...... adult."

Well, if you actually do private work during working hours, such a person will be deducted from her salary.

But the words of the servant also proved the woman's words.

But why did the woman's clothes appear in Cao Xiu's room?

Liu Li asked the woman again: "How can you be sure that the clothes were stolen by Niu Er and not someone else?" ”

The meaning of this "other person" is obvious, and it is clear that Cao Xiu made people steal it.

Cao Xiu stood very calmly, listening carefully to the words of this woman.

The woman said, "Yes! Some neighbors told the woman that Niu Er's brother was called Lai San, and in the early hours of the morning, he walked out of the alley of the woman, and the woman thought that most of them had stolen it, and if the adults didn't believe it, they could summon Lai San. ”

"Report to your lordship, this Lai rode away from the West City Gate three days ago, I'm afraid it will be difficult to summon ......"

A scribe who lived in the west of the city happened to see Lai San riding away on horseback when he went out, so he stepped forward to report to Liu Li.

But in this way, it is even more difficult to determine who is the thief.

Zhixian Liu Li frowned, not knowing what to do, he looked at the lawyer under the hall and asked for help.

Where else could the lawyer turn his head away from his gaze.

At this moment, Cao Xiu, who had been listening, began to speak.

He looked at Liu Zhixian in the hall and said with a smile: "Lord Zhixian, this case is already obvious, can't you still see it?" ”

Liu Li folded his hands and said, "What does Cao Zhixian mean by this?" ”

"What do you mean?" Cao Xiu pointed to Niu Er, who was sitting on the ground, and then pointed to the lawyer opposite, and said with a smile: "This is obviously the two of them who framed me, do you still need to be sentenced again?" ”

Niu Er on the ground raised his index finger and shouted, "Cao Xiu, don't spew blood!" ”

Cao Xiu turned his back to the dragon book case, walked up to Niu Er, bent down, and stared at Niu Er's eyes, "Now change the county to try you......"

"How are you going?"

"Heh, Niu Er, the day before yesterday, you killed Cao Xiu, threw his body into the wilderness, and took the hosta on his head, I thought that this thing was done well, and by the way, I could get the bounty of the killers, but I didn't want to meet this county the night before, you thought that Cao Xiu was not dead, so you stepped forward to block the way to this county, and forced Song Caiwei to find out, but what about you, but you recognized the wrong person, not only that, but you were also arrested by Qin Ming and put in prison."

"Murder is a serious crime, you don't want to die, you don't want to die, you have to find a way to save yourself, and at this time, Cao Xiu's body happened to disappear, you think about Li Dai Taozhuang, and want to drag this county into the water, so that Jiangning Zhixian will make up for you."

"But how can you drag yourself into the water without evidence? But you have a lot of manpower, your power is still wide, and the entire Jiangning City is your territory, and if you want to frame a person, you can't catch it? Last night, the little second brother told the county that there were three ruffians who came to inquire about the room number of the county, and at that time, the county was suspicious, and I don't want your people to ask Liu Zhixian to search my room today, and this search really found something. ”

Cao Xiu deceived very close, only a stone's throw away from Niu Er, he forced Niu Er to look at him, a pair of eyes were like cold stars in the night sky, and his eyes were bright, as if he could see through people's hearts.

"Clever, Niu Er! First prepare the hosta, but feel that there is something missing, so I went to the courtyard of this Aunt Pinru and stole a piece of clothes that are exactly the same as Cao Xiu, but I don't want to, the night is too dark, your thief can't see the style of the clothes clearly, so I picked up one casually, and then, while we are not there, sneaked into the inn, pried open the door of the county, put the clothes and hosta into the burden of the county, and fled, and then there was the matter of this lawyer asking to search the county's room, so that the county's fake name will be confirmed, and you, will also make meritorious contributions to Jiangning, and get pardon, do you think what the county said is right? Niu Er! ”

Niu Er was already a little weak-hearted, but now that he was looking at him like this, his confidence was even less than that, not only that, every word Cao Xiu said, every inference was discussed by him and his group of Jiangning heroes in the prison the night before, but Cao Xiu seemed to see it with his own eyes and heard it with his own ears, which couldn't help but make him a little scared, and his confidence disappeared here.

He subconsciously took a step back, his pupils widened, his face was already red, his chest felt very stuffy, coupled with today's relatively high temperature, this feeling of suffocation, he couldn't breathe, when the stuffiness was extremely high, he couldn't help but roar loudly, the voice was unprecedentedly loud, "No, no, I didn't, I'm innocent!" ”

Cao Xiu was not frightened by his momentum, but took another step of bullying and bit this extremely oppressive distance.

"Heh, you are innocent, who is not innocent?

Isn't Cao Xiu, who was killed by you, innocent?

Isn't the county that was almost dragged into the water by you innocent?

If you are innocent, there will be no innocent person in the world!

As the saying goes, the geese have left a voice, and the water has left traces, whether you have framed this county, this county knows everything! ”

"Lord Zhixian, there is also a person in this county, he should be waiting outside the hall at this time, and please be accommodating and let him in!"

When he spoke, his posture remained unchanged, and his momentum was even higher.

Where does Liu Li still have the heart to think about anything else, the initiative in this court has long been grasped by Cao Xiu, "Come here, summon witnesses!" ”

The people in the public hall didn't know who Cao Xiu's witness was, but when the person came, they saw that it was the little second brother in Cao Xiu's inn, not only him, but also two strong men, who were carrying a gangster with a sharp beak and monkey cheeks in their hands to enter the door.

"The villain Liu Ming, is the second child of the inn where the prince of Cao lived, this morning, after the prince and his companion left, this person appeared sneakily at the back door, but the son told the villain that he had expected someone to come, and told the villain not to make a noise, and after the person planted the sham, it would not be too late to catch him......"

As soon as the shopkeeper entered the court, he pointed to the person who was holding him and directly told him what had happened, and every word he said corresponded to Cao Xiu's inference just now.

When everyone in the court heard this, they were all speechless, not to mention that Niu Er harmed people, just to say that Cao Xiu's detective skills were already superb.

It's wonderful.

Qin Tong, who had been silent, slapped his palm.

is known as a lawyer who can talk like a river, and can talk about the Confucianism, and he is even more afraid to speak.

Niu Er listened to the words of the shopkeeper, his face changed suddenly, and his pupils shrank, as if he was frightened beyond imagination.

Cao Xiu struck while the iron was hot, looked at Niu Er's eyes, and didn't let his eyes leave him at all, "It's really a good calculation, Niu Er!" I don't know how big your ambitions are in this county, but you are so ruthless, not only kill people, but also frame me, and find the three members of the Xia family who know Cao Xiu, this Xia family of three is an honest farmer, but what about you, for your own selfishness, regardless of the lives of others, the Xia girl just now is obviously familiar with Cao Xiu, but as a murderer, after bringing her, you still have to uncover her wounds, and even sprinkle salt on her, the girl fainted, and you ignored it!

Niu Er, the county asks you, you have! Not! Yes! Good! Heart!

When I dream back at midnight, I think of the evil things I have done, and I don't regret it, and I don't be afraid! ”

"No, no, shut up, shut up, ahhhh

The sullenness had been pressed to the extreme, Niu Er was extremely angry, his right hand seemed to have touched a hard thing, and when he touched it, it was the green brick that Cao Xiu put on the ground just now, he couldn't control too much, and he smashed it on Cao Xiu's head when he copied it.

Bang!

Before the brick could be smashed down, it was intercepted by a small stone from afar.

It was Commander Luo, who had been paying attention to Cao Xiu and Niu Er's movements, and when Niu Er was about to hit someone with a brick, he immediately threw the stone in his hand.

The green bricks were shattered, but the gravel still fell on Cao Xiu's head, and soon, his forehead began to bleed.

Niu Er suddenly panicked and pushed Cao Xiu, "Don't come here, don't come over......"

Although he only used a slight force, unexpectedly, Cao Xiu was gently pushed by this, and his body directly kicked back several steps, and the back of his head hit the dragon book case.

Cao Xiu struggled to get up, pointed at Niu Er with his right hand and said, "You, did you want to rebel when you murdered the imperial court officials......?"

As he spoke, he fell to the ground, unconscious.

The unexpected came, and everyone in the court panicked.

"Ah, save people—"

"Bring the bald cow to the county—"

"Quick, find a doctor, find a doctor—"

"Ah, why don't you hurry—"

In the public hall, Niu Er looked at the two officers who approached in a daze.

His face was as dead as ashes, and he was dragged out of the court like a dead dog.
