"Trouble! Trouble, what a trouble! ”

In the back office, a black-bearded official wearing a seven-rank official uniform paced back and forth with the room, and his wrinkled face was full of embarrassment.

"There are people who take people's hearts and livers alive in broad daylight......"

The years have long worn out the sharpness of Gao Pengqi, and when he received this case, he saw the trouble behind the strangeness. After so many years of ups and downs, he naturally knows a lot about officialdom, and the most taboo thing for officials is trouble. Especially those troublesome lawsuits.

"Does the county think this case is too troublesome?"

Traveling thousands of miles to be an official is nothing more than for food and clothing, this is true for officials, and the same is true for his master Qian Bingyi, and the cooperation between Weng Ke is also very tacit.

"In broad daylight, he took people's hearts and livers alive, and sewed people well, and the bitter master did not die, according to him, it was to save people, but how can there be medical theory in this world that dissects people's hearts and heals people? It's so weird. It stands to reason that if the people do not raise officials and do not hold them accountable, if he is a doctor, he will also seek medical treatment, that is, the doctor will die, and naturally there will be a sufferer looking for him, but now the three layers outside the yamen are surrounded by people, and everyone knows that someone has taken people's hearts and livers alive. On the one hand, the people are angry, and on the other hand, they claim to save people. You say it's not trouble! ”

When mentioning "trouble", Gao Pengqi's face was full of bitterness.

"The bitter master is not dead, how can the old man punish the crime? If you don't punish the crime? What will the people think of Gao? ……”

After a slight pause, Gao Pengqi looked left and right, and then lowered his voice and said.

"In the end, maybe even the old man is in cahoots with that demon, and it doesn't have to be ...... to eat people's hearts and livers."

Shaking the paper fan used to pretend, Qian Bingyi said with a smile while snorting and fanning:

"County Zun, in fact, this matter is not troublesome at all, since the people are angry now, then punish him for a crime and calm down the people's anger......"

"This, this ......"

opened his mouth a few times, but he couldn't say why Gao Pengqi came to him, so he had to whisper:

"When the time comes, where will Ying Tianfu be?"

"Hehe, the demon is evil, even if he is punished, Futai will definitely be able to understand the ...... of the county."

Shaking the paper fan, Qian Bingyi's eyes narrowed into a thin slit.

After thinking for a moment, Gao Pengqi's body leaned forward slightly, looked at Qian Bingyi and said:

"So it's decided?"

"It's set, it's okay to set, but it's ......"

Qian Bingyi turned the conversation around and said softly.

"However, how to deal with this person, we have to think about it carefully, although it can be covered up with demons. But if it is a verdict, if Futai asks about it, it will not be easy to explain, so I think that since the person is not dead, this execution is absolutely impossible! But on the people's side, how should they explain when the time comes? If the punishment is not severe, I am afraid that the people will be dissatisfied and provoke a civil uprising, but it will be a big trouble. ”

As soon as the master said this, Gao Pengqi thought for a moment, then nodded and said.

"Cheng, then let's set it like this first, Master Qian, you will stare at it for a while, but don't make any mess and ruin the reputation of this county!"

Shi Yiwen, who was in front of the yamen, naturally didn't know that others had calculated himself from the perspective of "stability", he just visited the yamen with great interest.

There is still a tiger's head, a dog's head or something,

Thinking of this scene in Bao Qingtian, he couldn't help but smile, but saw more than a dozen officials in the yatang walking out with black and red sticks, and there was a hall in the middle of the yatang, and someone shouted.

"The master ascended to the hall and ......"

Then someone shouted again.

"Take the defendant!"

When he was still stunned, someone behind Shi Yiwen grabbed him and shouted.

"What are you doing with a pestle? Didn't you hear the grandfather call you over the hall? ”

It was only after stumbling to stabilize his body and slowly walked forward into the yatang.

Compared with the light outside the yatang, the inside of the yatang still seemed a little dim, and after adapting to the light, Shi Yiwen saw that there were also eight officials standing next to them, all of them were dressed in the robes of the yamen, holding black and red sticks in their hands and posing there.

Behind the "public case" in the main hall, the person sitting was probably Shangyuan Zhixian, who was in his fifties, with a gray beard, sitting behind the public case, wearing a red official robe and a black gauze hat. Although he is a little older, he is also dignified, and there is a clerk sitting at the first table in the east of the public case.

As soon as he saw this gangster who "took people's hearts and livers" in the court, Gao Pengqi slapped the case on the ground and asked in a hoarse voice.

"Defendant, your name is convicted!"

Crime?

When he was asked like this, Shi Yiwen, who was still hesitant about how to salute, suddenly "chuckled" in his heart.

"Master Hui, I don't know what kind of crime there is?"

It's not good!

"Cutting people's abdomen in broad daylight, taking people's hearts and livers, committing such a heinous crime, and still dare to quibble, come to someone, give him fifty boards first, and see if he is recruited from the truth!"

Li Dexin, who was standing at the bottom right of the public case, had a look of pride on his face when he heard that he was going to be punished. Seeing the smugness on his face, Shi Yiwen sneered in his heart. He secretly sighed and said urgently.

"Master, wait!"

Standing still in the hall, Shi Yiwen asked rhetorically.

"As soon as the master came up, he said that he was taking people's hearts and livers from below, but he didn't know who was taking people's hearts and livers from below? And who can testify that he is taking hearts and minds from below? ”

"You person, you still dare to quibble, everyone in the "Deren Hall" has seen it, you cut open Mrs. Li's stomach, if it weren't for Doctor Hu knocking down the screen and breaking the good thing, it is estimated that you would have taken Mrs. Li's heart and liver away! ”

Among the onlookers outside the yamen, someone shouted loudly, and there was a chorus of echoes next to him.

"The yamen is heavy, and you must not make noise!"

With a deep sigh, Gao Pengqi said again.

"Who is the one who is willing to testify in the court?"

"The grass people are willing, willing."

As soon as the words fell, a man in his thirties hurried into the hall.

"Who's in the hall?"

"Master Hui, under is the second pole of the king of Nail Lane, and he is a neighbor with Mrs. Li."

"But what you just said, but it's true?"

Now that the human and material evidence is all watching, how can he quibble? Gao Pengqi, who was still a little worried, relaxed now.

"Every sentence is true, I am not the only one who has seen it, Third Brother Chen, Fang Liu, they have all seen it."

As he mentioned the person's name, several more witnesses were shouted out of the crowd by Gao Pengqi, and they were all willing to prove without exception.

When the magistrate questioned those "witnesses", Shi Yiwen just stood there calmly. Seeing that he was so calm, Gao Xianling felt that this person seemed to be a little unusual, and looked at the master with an inquiring gaze. Seeing him nodding, he slapped the case on the table and asked in a hoarse voice.

"Defendant! Now, with all the witnesses, what else do you have to say? ”
