"It's fine." Bai Liao nodded, and said in a low voice, "Go early and return early." ”

"Yes." Shen Yan said and retreated.

Chu Zhen, who was sitting in the hall, saw what Baili Ao and Shen Yan were saying, and immediately pricked up his ears, wanting to hear what they were doing.

But Baili Ao's voice was too low, and he didn't hear anything, so he had to sit on the stool.

As soon as Shen Yan arrived at the gate of the prison, he saw this scene.

The cell boss had a long whip in his hand and struck the prisoners with all his might.

Shen Yan boasted that he was not the kind of person who was overflowing with compassion, but when he saw innocent people being beaten, his heart twitched fiercely, "Stop!" ”

Hearing Shen Yan's voice, the cell leader stopped what he was doing. He stepped forward and asked arrogantly, "Where did you come from to meddle in my business?" While I'm not angry, get out of here, or don't blame me for being rude! ”

Shen Yan looked at the cell head coldly, and stretched out his hand to restrain him, "I want to see why you are not polite to me!" ”

"You..." The cell boss instinctively wanted to resist, but he was used to eating and drinking well in prison, and many functions were degraded, so he couldn't compare to Shen Yan, a professionally trained person.

When the jailer saw that he was being bullied by a hairy boy, he immediately lost his temper, "Where did the hairy boy come from, he dared to attack our boss, hurry up!" ”

"Get out? Scold. Shen Yan sneered as if he had heard something particularly interesting, he took out a token from his bosom and threw it to a prison guard, "Seeing this token, if you see Lord Qincha, don't you quickly kneel." ”

The soldier who was hit looked at the token, staggered in fright, and instinctively knelt on the ground, "The villain sees Lord Chincha, Lord Chincha is fine." ”

Shen Yan let go of the person, he walked to the side of the jailer, lowered his body and pulled out the token, and turned around, "Now you know which family I am, right?" ”

The cell boss was frightened by this scene, and he knelt on the ground with a thud, "The little one has eyes and doesn't know Mount Tai, and he bumped into Lord Qincha, and I hope Lord Qincha will forgive his sins." ”

"Get up." Shen Yan coughed lightly, "My lord has been waiting at the yamen for a long time, and a few of you still hurry up to send the prisoner there, don't let people wait." ”

The cell boss listens to it, how dare he say that half of it is not? He stood up and beckoned to the prison guard, "Why are you still stunned, hurry up." ”

The jailer threw the whip aside and drove the man away like a sheep. Seeing this, Shen Yan quickly followed.

Yamen.

When Baili Ao and the others were about to fall asleep, Shen Yan walked in with someone, "My lord, someone is here." ”

"Coming?!"

Hearing these words, Baili Ao and the others beat their spirits, "Since the person is here, let's go to the court." ”

Catch quickly tapped the ground with the stick in his hand, "Wei.... Take"

Baili Ao knocked on the sandalwood, "Who is kneeling in the hall?" ”

The prisoners below heard Baili Ao say that they reported their names one after another, as if they were afraid that they would report their lives too late and confess here.

"This official is the imperial court, and he came for the rebellion of Ping Jian'an, if you have any grievances, please tell this official. If the matter is true, the official will vindicate the innocent. ”

Who knows if you're true or not.

The kneeling man at the bottom said in the belly, if it is fake, we will die if we say it?

Thinking of this, everyone closed their mouths.

Baili Ao seemed to have guessed that the prisoner would not easily tell his grievances, so he said, "If you don't say it, then the official has to tell someone casually." ”

Nalan Qian took over the conversation, "Zhang Baishu." ”

Belch...

Three black lines appeared on Zhang Baishu's forehead, "The villain is here." ”

Bai Liao knocked on the wood on the table, "Zhang Baishu, are you wronged?" ”

"Yes!" Zhang Baishu said reflexively.

"What are you wronged, don't tell me quickly!" Nalan Qian said, "Lord Baili and I are very busy, if you don't have a grievance, then go down and don't disturb us to handle the case." Nalan Qian said lightly.

"Yes." Seeing this, Zhang Baishu didn't say much, but told his experience in one go.

"The villain's surname is Zhang, and he lives in the last thatched hut on East Street, and there is an old mother at home. Taishou-sama wants to build a house and requisition my house and wants to use it as a foundation. The villain has lived in a thatched hut for many years, and Ben also wants to sell the land to Taishou, but..."

"Just how?" Nalan said humbly.

"Taishou's bid is too low, this kind of price, let alone buying a new house, even buying a piece of land can't be bought. In order to make Taishou give a little more silver, the villain did not hesitate to break into the Taishou Mansion and beg Taishou to give a few more taels, but Taishou said that the villain's land was just like this, and said that the villain blackmailed him. Then, the villain was convicted of extortion by Taishou and imprisoned in prison. ”

Zhang Baishu said, a few tears flowed from his eyes, "The poor villain's mother was kicked out of the house in her eighties, homeless, and finally ended up dying on the street. ”

Baili Ao and the others had seen Zhang Baishu in private, and they also searched for evidence in Zhang Baishu's mouth from where he said, but they had to put on a look of not knowing anything, "Lord Taishou, what Zhang Baishu said is true?" ”

"This..."Tai Shou sweated profusely on his face, "It's true." ”

"If this is true, why did you hide it and not report it?" Baili Ao looked cold, "Could it be that you are deliberately hiding it from your own official?" ”

When Chu Zhen heard this, he knelt on the ground, "The lower officials don't dare!" ”

"If you don't dare, then don't you tell the official about the matter? Isn't he waiting for the official to find out for himself? ”

"My lord is a member of the imperial court sent by the capital, and there are many opportunities for him, how dare the lower officials hide it, but this matter is really hidden."

"What's the secret? Still talking about it quickly? Nalan said humbly.

"Yes." Chu Zhen lowered his eyes, "Zhang Baishu's house was built at the end of the East Lane, which is the most remote in the entire Jian'an, and few people come to walk around. Xia Guan took a fancy to that piece of land and wanted to buy it and build the mansion there. Chu Zhen sighed leisurely, "Xiaguan paid Zhang Baishu five taels of silver to buy that land, but Zhang Baishu thought that the money I gave was too little, so he ran to Xiaguan's mansion with the guy and threatened Xiaguan to pay her more silver." The subordinate refused, and he actually put a knife against the subordinate official's neck, intending to murder the subordinate official. ”

Nalan Qian glanced at Zhang Baishu who was kneeling on the ground, and said in a deep voice, "Zhang Baishu, can you admit what Chu Zhen said?" ”

"The little one doesn't admit it." Zhang Baishu said, "The villain broke into the Taishou Mansion, but the villain didn't bring a sharp weapon, let alone murder the Taishou with a knife." ”

"Do you have proof that you didn't intend to murder?" Bai Liao said, and glanced at Taishou again, "What evidence does Lord Taishou have to prove that what he said is true?" ”

"The villain has!" Hearing what Baili Ao said, Zhang Baishu was like grasping some life-saving straw, "The villain has evidence to prove that what he said is true." ”
