3. Ink pellets have their own shapes

This "permanent residence" is actually the register of the temple's property, according to the Ming Xuan delivery of the main matter for the demarcation, divided into two parts, both stamped with seals, fingerprints, is clear and clear, after Gao Yue compared, sure enough, found that there were less than ten taels of permanent gold, so he asked the monks of the Alanta Temple under these two books are true?

"We all left fingerprints on it, which is naturally true." Several monks clasped their hands together and replied in unison.

The Anxi army generals who "audited" saw this, and they all sneered at each other proudly, which meant that the key drama had come.

Gao Yue said to Ming Xuan: "Since there are all human and material evidence, why don't you confess?" ”

Ming Xuan sat on the seat under the hall, and when he heard this, his face turned purple, and the green tendons on his forehead bulged one by one, and he held back for a long time before he spoke, "Because he is not guilty, why is there anything?" ”

"But there is a document here, as the former head of the temple, you have ten taels of permanent residence gold hidden at the time of delivery, you have to have an explanation! If you don't commit a crime, then you will be sentenced to steal by law. ”

This is a felony to steal from oneself.

Ming Miao and the rest of the monks couldn't help but be stunned when they saw that Gao Confucius wanted to sentence Ming Xuan for the crime of self-theft, so they hurriedly said: I just ask Ming Xuan to admit his mistake, and it is a big deal to expel him from the Alanta Temple, and I also implore Confucius not to sentence him so severely.

"Ridiculous! The plume of Buddhism is under the control of the Tang law, and the Buddhist temples and Taoist temples are all out of the place. There is no reason to add or subtract from private discretion. Gao Yue scolded.

At this time, Ming Xuan cooed, and his hard bald head smashed directly on the stone floor in front of the seat, and he just said "Don't be guilty", and also said that as long as Gao Kongmu wrote the judgment, I would die here the moment I put pen to paper, and there was a lot of trouble for a while.

It was a familiar drama again, and the Anxi generals all laughed and stared at Gao Yue to see what tricks this white-faced scholar had to solve the case.

Gao Yue was also a little anxious, so he pointed to Ming Xuan, who was constantly kowtowing and bleeding, and said: "Since you are not guilty, then you can say the whereabouts of the ten taels of permanent residence gold, if you say it, of course the matter will be clear." ”

"I don't have these ten taels of permanent resident gold, I haven't seen it, I haven't used it, and I don't know where to go." Ming Xuan stiffened his neck and said repeatedly, and Ming Miao and the monks over there were also anxious, so they quarreled with Ming Xuan again, saying that it was clear in the book and could not be denied, and Ming Xuan still insisted there that "I haven't seen it, I haven't used it, and I don't know where to go".

"Then since you don't know where to go, you can countersue and frame you."

"No counterclaim, no counterclaim." Ming Xuan's words made Gao Yue so angry that he smoked.

It seems that this person is going to die to the end, Gao Yue thought about it, and then picked up his pen and wanted to write a sentence for self-theft and cure Ming Xuan's crime.

Several "don't play" immediately began to get busy on Gao Kongmu's bookcase, preparing pen, ink, paper, and inkstone.

The Anxi generals who were watching couldn't help but hold their breath, staring at Gao Yue's hanging pen, and some people looked at Ming Xuan, who was trembling with excitement there.

What a big play!

If Gao Yue sentenced Ming Xuan to guard himself and steal, the fierce Ming Xuan would definitely be killed in court, which had been performed before, and it scared Judge Jingyuan away at that time, and it was not fun to judge Jing Yuan to kill people; If Gao Yue withdraws this case, then Ming Miao, the current chief monk of Alanta Temple, and others will not let Gao Yue go, and they will inevitably come to entangle; If Gao Yue is sentenced to the gourd case, hmph, does he still want to stay in Jingyuan after that?

Liu Wenxi and the others touched their beards, stomped their boots a little anxiously and excitedly, and looked at Gao Yue seven times and eight times, thinking, "What kind of wrist does this white-faced Langjun have, but just use it!" ”

At this moment, Duan Xiushi also hurried to the door of the Confucian Academy.

Gao Yue thought about it and put the pen down again.

At this time, the Anxi generals couldn't hold it back, so they shouted Gao Kongmu hurry up and write the judgment, is it difficult to delay official business?

But Gao Yue didn't answer, because he saw that the other official took out two pills of ink and placed them on the side of the concave inkstone, one was spherical and the other was snail-shaped, and when he saw this Gao Yue, his eyes immediately flashed, and then he remembered the joke he had made with Ah Ni last night, asking Ah Ni to make a honey paste ring for his dinner, and the paste ring was a twist-shaped pasta.

"What's the matter, Gao Kongme!" At this time, the voices of the generals and monks urging him to write the judgment continued to reach his ears.

And several officials also looked nervously at the Kong Mu official who was in a daze, and secretly sweated for him.

Gao Yue stretched out his hand, pinched it on the ink pill with his hand, his hands were dark, and he involuntarily returned his hand to touch his cheeks, and his face was suddenly full of black spots. "Isn't this Lang Jun in a hurry?" There was a lot of discussion in the hall.

Duan Xiushi had just walked from the wing room to the side door of the middle hall at this moment, and saw Gao Yue raise his head, say a few words to the musicians, and then look full of ambition, this time Duan Xiushi couldn't help but stop to see what Gao Yue was going to do next, and whether he could judge this difficult case well.

Don't come down to the hall to shout a few words, a group of soldiers stepped forward and detained all the monks who came here in a burst of exclamations and dissatisfaction, but Gao Yue stood up, waved his hand in front of the Anxi generals in Nahan, and made a few gestures.

Soon, the soldiers carried a few eaves and walked directly to the courtyard of the central hall of the Confucian Academy, and Ming Miao and Ming Xuan on the seats looked back and didn't know why.

"What do you mean?" The Anxi military general was also wide-eyed.

And Duan Xiushi stopped the soldiers who were about to come forward to report, and stood in place with great interest, quietly watching the next step.

Five eaves, one every ten feet, and then the soldiers stood in between, separating each eaves tightly.

Then several other officials each carried a small wooden plate from the back of the ya, and when they came to the courtyard, the monks of the Alanta Monastery who were detained saw that each wooden plate contained a pill of yellow mud, and they couldn't help but be shocked.

Gao Yue walked to the front of the steps and said to them in a loud voice, "Ming Miao insists that Ming Xuanyin has no permanent residence in your temple, and there are documents and witnesses; But Ming Xuan flatly denied it, saying that he had never seen the ten taels of permanent residence. So the crux of the matter now is the question of whether there is or is not permanent gold, since you have said that these ten taels of permanent residence gold are real, then I will bother you to enter the eaves, isolate the inside and outside, and use the pill of yellow mud you have obtained to pinch out the shape of this permanent gold. ”

After speaking, Gao Yue pointed to the incense stick that was lit on the bookcase, "Take the time limit of this incense stick and enter the eaves." ”

"Gao Kongmu, Gao Kongmu ......" Ming Miao, the head of Alanta Temple, did not have the confidence to walk in at all, and began to turn around and kowtow to Gao Yue, his tone was full of pleading.

But Gao Yue was unmoved, and directly asked the soldiers to stuff the five monks into the eaves, and then lowered the curtains.

After a thread of incense, the musicians lined up five wooden plates on the floor under the bookcase.

The generals of the Anxi army all got up, stretched their necks to look, and saw that the shape of the "permanent gold" pinched out by the five monks was different, some were horseshoe-shaped, some were square-shaped, and some were elongated......

"Alas, this Gao Langjun has some meaning." The knife and axe took the lead in Zhang Yufei's sudden realization, and he clapped his hands and shouted.
