As soon as Wei Anheng returned to the Fengjing Mansion, he sent Ma Liubao, the head catcher of the fast shift in the third class of the government, to the Sun Medical Center and asked Dr. Sun Baizhi to go through the second hall for questioning.

That's right, the word he used was 'please', and the place he came from was 'Ertang'.

In folk tales, folk legends, and even on the theatrical stage, the term "three-hall trial" often appears. In fact, this word was first introduced from the government. There are three halls in the entrance of the yamen: the first hall is the main hall, also called the main hall, which is usually only opened when the case is tried in public or when there is a major event of the imperial court; The second session is much more flexible and is usually used to hear cases that are inconvenient to disclose. The reason why the second hall is not opened is generally because the people involved in the case, or women, children, old and young, or local tyrants and squires, need to save face for the people involved in the case in front of the local villagers and elders. Of course, while the privacy of the people involved in the case is guaranteed, there can also be some things that are not visible and cannot be put on the table to be discussed in the second hall. The third hall is the back hall, which is the residence of officials and their families.

At present, although Sun Baizhi is involved in a murder case, she has no bitterness to sue the official, and there is no evidence to arrest anyone. Lord Wei An Hengwei, who has been the "pioneer of the law" since his ancestors, just asked the head catcher to come to the house in person and invited Sun Baizhi, a "law-abiding citizen", to "assist in the investigation" in the second hall.

Sun Baizhi, who was in a daze, was woken up from her sleep by the young man in the front hall, and she was extremely unhappy. After listening carefully, I realized that it was Yin Wei An Heng of Kyoto Prefecture who invited him, and he felt even more angry:

"The second master is sleepy, if he Wei Anheng has any physical evidence, he will directly send someone to the house to get me; If not...... Tell someone to come, Second Master Sun, I still have to sleep. When will you wake up, go to the yamen and talk to Lord Fu Yin again. ”

"Second master, just talk to Ma Zhutou?"

"That's it, go ahead."

Sun Baizhi turned over, and snoring sounded in the room again. The apprentice hurried to the antechamber and repeated the original words word for word. As he spoke, he focused on the hand of the horse catcher, ready to dodge the slap at any time.

Unexpectedly, Ma Liubao, who was full of beard, although he was strong and carried an official knife at his waist, but after listening to the words of the little apprentice, the expression on his face was as kind as when he came:

"It doesn't matter, Dr. Sun has been busy for a day and a night in order to save people, and it is normal for people to be physically exhausted. But Ma has received the order of my family, and it is difficult to go back to recover his life before he finishes his errand. If the little master is not too annoying, can Ma just sit here for a while, wait for the second master to sleep well, and then go to see my family together, you think it's so good? ”

What can the little apprentice say? I didn't dare to offend the head catcher at the entrance of the yamen, and I no longer wanted to teach Sun Baizhi to get up, so I had to say a few words of greeting very politely, served Ma Liubao a hot tea, and busily cut and dispensed medicinal herbs by myself. Ma Liubao took off the waist knife, carefully placed it behind the stool, and calmly tasted the tea leaves in the medical hall.

Waiting, I waited until the evening, Ma Liubao changed the tea leaves in the bowl three times, and drank a stomach of strong tea before the grain of rice entered, and beat himself through, the more hungry he became, the more he drank, the more hungry he became, until now he was trembling all over, and the sweat was like beads with broken threads, which kept coming out from all over his body.

The little apprentice looked at the horse catcher who used to show off his might on the street, and was poured down by a few pots of strong tea, but now he has begun to sweat profusely, and the chair under his buttocks seems to have become a nail board, not to mention how embarrassing he looks. However, although Ma Zhutou looked kind at this time, he was also wearing official clothes after all, and he had no problem with his second shopkeeper at the moment, but this anger might be sprinkled on himself. So, I ran to the back hall and found Sun Baizhi.

"The second shopkeeper, the horse catcher outside has not eaten anything since he came, and when I am not paying attention, his eyes are green when he looks at the soaked tea. Wait any longer, I'm afraid I'm going to pass out by the tea. ”

Sun Baizhi and Shen Gui finished freshening up at this time, and when they saw the young man running to say goodbye again, they looked at each other and smiled. Shen Gui pointed at the young man and said with a smile:

"You should first get some snacks to cushion the belly of the horse catcher, so as not to cause trouble. Oh yes, although your second master has been drying him for a day, you have to be polite. Mountains and rivers meet, if your kid angers him, there will be no good fruit to eat in the future. ”

After the young man received the order, he hurriedly ran to the room to get snacks. And Sun Baizhi just changed a set of clothes, turned around and said to Shen Gui:

"Then I'm going to Fengjing Mansion, you really don't want to go with me?"

Shen Gui smiled and waved his hand:

"Just go yourself. Ma Liubao can wait for you in the main hall of the medical hall for a day, and Wei Anheng is promoted to the second hall, which shows that people don't take your heart at all. You can say whatever you want when you get there, I'll have other things to do in a while. ”

Sun Baizhi tugged at the pleats on her new clothes, raised her legs and walked out of the main hall.

At this time, Ma Liubao was eating the snacks brought by the young man, and when he saw Sun Baizhi, who was refreshed, he walked with a square step of Qiyu Xuan, hurriedly put down the food in his hand, and swept the dim sum residue on his shirt:

"Doctor Sun is resting well, huh? Our old man ordered me to invite you to come over to the house to talk, can we leave now? ”

This Ma Liubao waited in the front hall for a day, and saw Sun Baizhi striding in front of him again, but he didn't show a strange expression. The reason why he was so restrained, in addition to Wei Anheng's explanation before leaving, there was a more important reason - his brother Sun Baishu was a close minister of Emperor Xuande.

Sun Baizhi saw Ma Liubao desperately restraining his trembling hands, and her heart was also soft: What does this matter have to do with Ma Liubao's head catch? I really shouldn't shake the majesty on him.

So, Sun Baizhi took two steps forward, held Ma Liubao's hand, stuffed a silver ingot with a full amount of ten taels without a trace, and buckled the other party's fingers:

"It's been hard for the horse to catch the head, and we are too tired, and this head is a mess of mud. If I go back with you directly, it will be easy to delay Lord Wei's business. I thought that Ma Zhutou would go back to the mansion and wait first, but I didn't expect you to sit here all day, which made Sun ...... I'm really speechless. ”

As the saying goes, good words are warm in three winters, and bad words are hurtful and cold in June. The horse catcher was already a little resentful, but now seeing that the other party was so polite, he was holding a "hot" ingot of silver in his hand, which called the inside of the face was all right, so he smiled and saluted, and took the silver into his pocket:

"Now that the second master is resting, then go back to the mansion with me, right? Master Wei is afraid that he will have to wait. ”

After that, he should lead the way first, and follow Sun Baizhi to the Fengjing Mansion together.

It didn't take long for the two of them to come to the door of the second hall of the mansion, Ma Liubao stepped forward and replied, and then handed Sun Baizhi a "can go in" look, and he went out of the back door and went home.

"Lord Wei, grass people Sun Baizhi, on the orders of adults, came to respond to the case."

Sun Baizhi walked to the second hall, said to the adult, and pretended to bow down. As expected, when this Wei Anheng saw that he was about to salute, he hurriedly stepped forward and held up his upper body:

"Doctor Sun doesn't need to be so polite, let's sit down and talk."

The two pushed and pushed Jean's guest host to sit down, Wei Anheng took a sip of tea, and then said with a kind face:

"Doctor Sun, can you repeat the incident of the Shamanic Elder Bag yesterday in detail? It is because most of the places in the mastery of this official are hearsay, and it is inevitable that there will be some untruths. ”

Sun Baizhi just wanted to weigh the pros and cons, but suddenly remembered Shen Gui's words, so she chuckled, shook her head and said to Wei Anheng:

"Yesterday on the altar, I had a little argument with a few friends and a shaman. The Great Elder Bhag was already old and weak, his own blood was not smooth, and his liver qi had been stagnant for a long time, so he was angry for a while, causing the wind evil to enter his body and collapse on the altar. After that, I joined forces with my friends to carry Bag to Sun's Hospital to rescue him. Unfortunately, during my operation, there were some accidents, which led to the death of the patient. As a doctor, I was not good at medicine, which indirectly led to the death of the patient. In this matter, I do have some inseparable involvement. ”

Sun Baizhi was extremely upright, and took the responsibility without saying a word. After hearing this, Wei Anheng beside him waved his hand while laughing......
