It's finally time to leave Terry. Zhu County's order, as well as the people in the city, and those who have received favors came to see him off.

Bian Yifang in Taili County has been closed and no longer produces, Wanchunfang has been reduced in size and handed over to Xu Wan's father to take care of, and the hotel is still managed by Xiaochun, and it is up to her to decide whether to continue or not.

The team went to the west, and when Huaide, Wang Laohu handed over the left protector to the fairy, and read out the emperor's will, and rewarded the hundred women who helped the emperor sacrifice in the flower god society.

At the Flower God Society, Wang Laohu did not stay long, and left after finishing his errands that day.

On this day, Wang Laohu and his entourage arrived in Anqing City.

With such a huge relocation, Wang Laohu was divided into two groups. The old lady and her family were guarded by the generals, and they came slowly, and they took Zhang Zheng, Wang Biao, Mu Huaying, etc. to take the first step, he wanted to find Ouyang Yan in Anqing, and then go west together. After settling the ten Tujia girls, he left the inn.

Anqing's opera is developed, after Wang Laohu left, there were several more troupes, Wang Laohu still spent some effort to find Ouyang Yan, but their troupe got up early, not much effort, Wang Laohu inquired, today they should be acting on the stage, Wang Laohu and people immediately rushed to the stage.

The play should not have started yet, they approached the stage and did not hear the sound of acting.

"Lord Wang, this drama hasn't started yet." Zhang Zhengdao.

Wang Laohu said: "I won't disturb Miss Ouyang today, the last scene, let her do it well, let's do it well, let's do it well, you can also sit well, don't let her find out." ”

Entered the stage, but saw the fans in twos and threes, the play was about to start, why is there so little audience, no, what is going on, Wang Laohu has a hunch that something happened on the stage.

Mu Huaying said: "I think something happened here." ”

Wang Laohu's expression was solemn, he walked through the chairs under the stage, through the audience of theater fans, and went backstage. After entering the backstage, these actors were still there, some of them knew Wang Laohu, they saw Wang Laohu coming, and they hurriedly stepped forward to greet them, and one of them said: "Wang Gongzi is here, Wang Gongzi is here." ”

Hearing the news, an old man came out and said, "Prince Wang, you came just in time, something happened." ”

Wang Laohu looked left and right, but he didn't see Ouyang Yan, and asked, "Where are you Ouyang class masters?" ”

"What I want to talk to Childe about is the Ouyang class master." Hearing this, Wang Laohu felt unhappy for a while, something happened, something really happened, it was Ouyang Yan who had an accident.

"Come on, where has your class master gone?" Wang Laohu said.

"Wang Gongzi, just a while ago, an official messenger came and took our class master and a little actor away." The old man said.

"Why did they take the class master?"

"The thing happened yesterday, the play we played yesterday was "Halfway Couple", halfway through the performance, a fan felt uncomfortable, so he was accompanied by someone to watch Langzhong, today I heard that this person died, and the family sued the yamen, saying that this person watched the play of "Halfway Couple" yesterday, and died, saying that it was our class master who killed him." The old man said.

After Wang Laohu heard this, he knew some of the reasons: "So that's the case." "They want to lie to it again," What kind of story is this "Halfway Couple" telling, but what are the terrifying and panicked scenes? ”

"Wang Gongzi, the title of this opera "Halfway Couple" is actually about the sad love story of a scholar and a lady, and there is no panic scene. Wang Laohu, under the leadership of the old man, came to the stage, the earlier stage was not as big as it is now, and there was no special set, there was only one painting behind the stage, which was considered a set, and the painting was the layout of a room or the layout of the forest path, and there was no other discomfort.

"Wang Gongzi, you have to save my family master."

"I must save your class master." Wang Laohu said, "Don't act in this play today, go with me to save your family master." ”

"Okay." The old man said, "Listen to Wang Gongzi, let's go to save the class master together." ”

"Zhang Zheng told the fans that the play will not be performed today, and their losses will be borne by me tomorrow."

"Yes."

There are more than 100 people in the troupe, and they followed Wang Laohu to the county office.

Outside the county office. Wang Laohu struck the drum of grievances, and the sound of "dong dong dong" suddenly resounded throughout the county government, and some officials came out and said: "Who is beating the drum outside to voice grievances?" ”

Wang Laohu said: "We are members of the troupe, you have arrested our class master, we can't perform this play, in addition, do you have evidence that our class master is related to the death of the drama fan." ”

"This is for our lord." Ya Gong said.

"Okay, then you can take us to see the eldest master."

"If you want to avenge your head of the class, come tomorrow morning, and tomorrow the lord will hear the case." Ya Gong said.

"Wang Gongzi, what should I do?" The old man said.

"Don't get bored." Wang Laohu relieved the old man and said to the servant, "Okay, tomorrow will be tomorrow." ”

"Prince Wang, what do you want us to do?" The old man asked.

"Let's go back first, don't do anything." Wang Laohu said, "Let's stop acting today, and tomorrow we will come together to seek justice for the class master." ”

"Okay." The old man told everyone to go back.

"You can go back too." Wang Laohu said.

"I want to do something for the class master."

"No, I don't. I'll do it, and tomorrow, I just need all of you to be there and support Miss Ouyang." Wang Laohu said.

The old man still wanted to say something, but Wang Laohu asked him not to say it, so he let him go back.

Seeing the people of the troupe leaving, Wang Laohu fell into thought, only based on the words of the troupe, this case could not be solved, and he wanted to master all the first-hand information.

"Zhang Zheng, let our people act immediately, one, find out who the deceased is, and where did he go after watching Lang Zhong? When did you die, and what was the cause of death? Second, who are the people in his family, who said that they want to claim compensation from the troupe, and on what basis? Three, where is the deceased now, I am going to go to the autopsy. ”

"Yes, lord." Zhang Zheng received the order.

In the remaining hours today, Wang Laohu wanted to collect all the information that was beneficial to Ouyang and seek justice for her.

It was dawn, but Wang Laohu had not slept all night in the inn, he looked at the sky that was gradually brightening outside the window, and knew that a battle in the lobby was coming.

The county hall hall.

The county magistrate sat in the lobby, and Ouyang Yan and a small actor were brought to the bottom of the hall, and they knelt on the ground as suspects. There was also a woman, who was supposed to be the plaintiff.

"Yuan, tell me, how did your husband die?" The prefectural order is humane.

"Back to my lord, on the same day, my father-in-law went to the stage to listen to the play, and I heard that it was "Halfway Couple", I asked my father-in-law not to go, he said that this play was a new play, and it was performed by the class owner himself. He went now, but he didn't expect to see half of it, and he came back, saying that he was not feeling well. ”

"Did he say he went to see Lang Zhong?"

"He said that he had gone to see it, and Lang Zhong gave him some soothing medicine, saying that he was caused by fright."

"What happened next?" The county magistrate asked.

"Later, I decocted the medicine for Xianggong, but before I finished decocting the medicine, he was a little out of breath, his eyes opened all of a sudden, and he soon stopped breathing."

"Yuan, so you think it was the drama performed by the troupe that scared your father-in-law to death?"

"Yes, my lordship, please be the master of the people."

"Lang Zhong who is rumored to be your father-in-law's doctor." The county magistrate is humane.

Lang Zhong was brought up, "The grass people are Anqing Langzhong, and they have seen the Qingtian Lord." ”

"Do you remember that a patient came to see a doctor in the afternoon of the day before yesterday, and he was in a trance, about thirty years old?" The prefectural magistrate asked.

Lang Zhong thought for a while and said: "The villain remembers, the villain remembers, this person seems to have been frightened in some way, his speech is inarticulate, and his walking is a little unsteady. The villain remembers that he was prescribed some soothing medicine. ”

It is consistent with Yuan's testimony, and the county ordered: "This official is also the first time I have heard that watching a play can scare people to death." However, the evidence is overwhelming now, class master, do you have anything to say? ”

"Master, I was wronged, there is nothing scary about our play, how can a man be scared to death by our play, please find out about it." Ouyang Yan said.

"The old man is investigating." The county ordered, "But the deceased only became unwell after listening to the play on your family's stage, and died soon after arriving home, and the official could only judge the case truthfully." ”

"Sir, did that person have a disease?" Ouyang Yan expressed skepticism.

The county magistrate asked Yuan: "Your father-in-law, could you have a disease?" ”

"My father-in-law has always been in good health, and the neighbors and villagers know about it." Yuan replied.

"Could it be that something has broken my stomach?" Ouyang Yan said again.

"Class master, you won't die in a short period of time if you eat a bad stomach." The county commander said, "Class master, I heard that this play is a new play that you just made, how can you make such a play?" ”

"Back to my lord, the plays in our troupe are all old plays, and after a long time, there will be fewer people watching them, so we have made up a few new plays, and this play is also one of them, but there is nothing scary about this play, please check it out." Ouyang Yan said.

"It's free to watch the play, because your play is now dead, how dare this official risk his life again, this case is simple and clear, if there is no other evidence, this official will be sentenced in court." Prefectural Order.

"Wronged, wronged." As soon as the county magistrate said that he was going to pronounce the verdict in the court, there was a sound of injustice outside the hall, and the county magistrate looked outside the hall and asked, "Who is making a noise outside the hall?" ”

The master on the side said: "It's the other people in this troupe, they came to beat the drum yesterday and were wronged." ”

"Troupe members?" The county official said, "This official decides the case, how can it be so noisy." As he spoke, he slapped the shock. Peng, Peng""Quiet, quiet. ”

The people outside the hall quieted down a little, and the county magistrate said: "This official will try this case in accordance with the laws and regulations of the Ming Dynasty, and the people outside the hall will be loud and noisy." ”

"My lord, my head of the family is wronged, you must investigate it clearly." The little actor in the hall also said.

"The case of your head of the class who wrote a new opera and scared people to death, the clues are clear, the evidence is clear, and the official is now pronouncing the verdict......" The county magistrate was about to make a verdict, and a loud voice appeared outside the hall.

"Slow." This sound was loud, completely different from the noisy voices of the troupe members outside the hall just now.

"Who is it, who is obstructing the official sentencing?" The county magistrate shouted to the people outside the hall.

"Me." I saw a person standing out from outside the hall, this person was Wang Laohu, and he was followed by Wang Biao.

The county magistrate didn't know Wang Laohu, and when he saw him standing up from the crowd, he asked, "Who are you?" ”

Wang Laohu said: "I think you are a confused official, and I can't see you trying this confused case." So stand up and give you a wake-up call, and avenge this class master by the way. ”

Ouyang Yan heard this voice, she turned around, and sure enough, she saw a familiar figure, "Childe." She didn't expect that at this time, when she was wronged and was about to go to prison, Wang Laohu would arrive.

Wang Laohu walked towards the lobby, but was stopped by two officials.

"The official didn't let you go to court." Prefectural Order.

"I don't go to court, how can I mention you, how can I avenge the class master?" Wang Laohu said.

"I have a word before you disturb the court, if it were you

If you don't give me an explanation, I won't forgive. The county magistrate said, and asked the two officials to retreat. Wang Laohu and Wang Biao came up to the hall together, and as soon as they arrived in the hall, Wang Laohu looked at Ouyang Yan and said, "Don't talk, everything has me." ”

"Who is in the hall, why don't you kneel when you see this official?" The prefectural order has initiated official authority.

Wang Laohu said: "I was passing through Anqing, and I happened to encounter this strange thing, I just listened to the adult's judgment, I think the adult was hasty in the case......

"The official asked you who you are, and you haven't answered the official yet." The county order was questioned by Wang Laohu, so he simply took out his official authority and slapped the shocking wood.

"The villain's name is just a cheap name, and I only care about the adult's case now."

"You still don't kneel down when you see this official." The county order said, and the official next to him made a "mighty" sound.

"Presumptuous." Wang Biao shouted at the county official.

Wang Laohu stopped Wang Biao and said to the county order: "I'm just afraid that you can't afford it." ”

"Can't afford it?" The county magistrate smiled, "In Anqing, I am a parent official, and I am trying this case in this hall, do you think I can't bear it?" Come, press down this arrogant man. ”

The two officials set up water and fire sticks from the side, and Wang Biao took out the knife he carried with him and pointed it at the officials. The county magistrate shouted: "It's the opposite, it's the opposite, you actually dare to use a knife above the lobby, you have eaten the bear's heart and leopard's gall." ”

Wang Laohu said: "You just ate the bear's heart and leopard gall, and you dare to commit a crime." Wang Biao, put the knife away, I want to see what this unconscious official will do to me. ”

Wang Biao put away the knife.

The two officials stepped forward, and Wang Laohu was sandwiched between the shoulders by the two officials' water and fire sticks, and they were exerting force, trying to press Wang Laohu down until he knelt, but Wang Laohu still did not move.

Wang Laohu said: "My lord, if I kneel down this time, you can't afford it, and then you will not be able to make up for your kneeling at this time today." ”

"Joke, I'm a county magistrate, and I'm afraid that you won't be able to intimidate."

Wang Laohu smiled, raised his hand, and the water and fire stick on his shoulder was also ejected by him. "My lord, this kneeling on the ground is none other than my unfinished lady, do you know her identity?"

"Could it be that you are the saints of today?" The county ordered, "Resist arrest and take this fanatic." ”

"Wait, wait until I explain a few doubts about this case, let everyone judge it, if what I say is not right, it will not be too late for adults to take me again." Wang Laohu said.

The county magistrate hesitated for a moment, for this young man who had just entered the court, his expression was calm and calm, he was also a little panicked, he thought, listen to him first, if he talked nonsense, then he could justifiably punish his crimes, anyway, he couldn't run. "Okay, I'd like to hear what you have to say about this case?"

Wang Laohu first thanked the county magistrate, and then he turned to another woman in the hall and asked, "This aunt, what is your purpose in suing the class master?" ”

The women also ignored the king and the tiger.

The county magistrate said: "Why are you asking this?" ”

"I want to know the purpose of this aunt, is it to let the class master subdue the law, or does the class owner want to compensate? These two are different sins. ”

"You answer him." The prefectural order is humane.

The woman said: "My husband died in vain after watching the play, which is the reason for the opera, so I want the adults to give me justice." ”

"Okay, I see, you're trying to get justice. Justice is in the truth. My lord, the person is dead, have you ever come to the door to do an autopsy or something? ”

"Autopsy? This person was scared to death by the play, the situation is very clear, and there are no other details in this case, and an autopsy is still needed? ”

"Haha, this is a big mistake you made, adult, even if it is a murder, the adult has not even examined the body, he will convict the person, and the sentence will be pronounced, this is not a faint official!"

"Bastard, you dare to scold the master, when the Yuan family sued, he also brought her father-in-law's corpse, the official has already stepped forward to see it, although there is no autopsy, but this is an ordinary death case, and there is no murder weapon, what kind of autopsy?"

"Murder, whether it is killing or scaring to death, there are always some different characteristics, you say You have read it, dare to ask the county commander, what do you think? What do you see again? ”

As soon as the county magistrate heard that Wang Laohu was a little aggressive, he ignored it and said: "What the official thinks has nothing to do with you, the person who is scared to death will open his eyes wide because he is frightened, and the official will know that he was scared to death at a glance." ”

"It seems that I have wronged the adult, it turns out that the adult really saw the corpse of the deceased." Wang Laohu said, "In addition to these, what else did the adults see?" ”

"What else? That's all the officer sees. ”

"It seems that the adults didn't ask for help."

"Again, it's not murder, why do you have to ask for it?"

"Then the adult is going to judge the case against the class master girl based on what Yuan and Lang said, right?"

"What's wrong? There are all the witnesses, is there anything suspicious? The county ordered.

"This is just the words of their family, if this matter is strange, and the adult is so confused to judge the case, and the person is falsely imprisoned, my lord, can you go with your heart, such unjust, false and wrongful cases can be avoided, why don't we avoid him."

"Unjust and false case, you tell me, there are still hidden secrets in this case that I don't know." Great humanity.

"There's so much you don't know." Wang Laohu said, "My lord, you must not let the body of the deceased be brought to the court. ”

The corpse went to the court, what was this Wang Lao Tiger going to do, the county magistrate didn't understand. According to custom, this person will be buried after three days, which is the so-called burial for peace, and the county magistrate did not leave the body, because he was not a homicide, and the plaintiff did not say that they killed, but when acting, the plot was too scary, and scared people to death, and wanted them to be jointly and severally liable, and then get some compensation.
