Chapter 0003: You Can Have a Longer Heart
As the county magistrate, Gu Feng's words were so gentle that Shen San, who was kneeling, only looked up and forgot to answer. After a scolding from the head of the official class, Shen San remembered to speak.
"Back to the master! I carried five taels of broken silver, and four nests. ”
"Four? Are you sure? ”
"Sure! When I went out, the kid brought me six, and let me eat two in the morning. ”
Gu Feng happily walked down the court, and Liu Qing and Yuhu followed closely from left to right. Gu Feng hurriedly signaled to them not to worry, looking at Shen San's appearance, he couldn't hurt anyone even if he was a ghost. However, Liu Qing stopped, and the jade fox shook his head at the old man and still followed the old man within half a meter. Gu Feng thought to himself: This little girl is quite loyal!
Gu Feng squatted in front of Shen San, and his face turned white with fright.
Gu Feng smiled and said, "Don't be afraid! I won't eat you! I would like to ask you two questions, is your money your own? Did you eat any dishes in the nest? ”
Shen San first said that the money was borrowed by him from his brother-in-law who killed pigs and sold meat, and then said "There is ...... mixed in the nest" A smell of vegetables rushed to his face, and Gu Feng rushed to say: "You don't need to say it, I know it's leeks!" ”
Shen San looked at the young county master in front of him with a shocked face, Gu Feng stood up and walked to the stage with a smile, and asked by the way: "Salt is also added, is it big salt or small salt?" "At that time, the big salt referred to sea salt, and the small salt referred to the home-made saline-alkali soil. Large salt is much better, and small salt has a bitter taste.
"Greatly...... Big salt! Sir, how do you know? ”
"You have a label, keep a mark! We'll help you recover your lost money today! ”
Gu Feng first whispered to the famous master Ma Po for a while, and after Master Ma left, Gu Feng signed an order: "County Lieutenant Liu, Gao Zhutou listens to the order, this county orders you to lead twenty officials to arrest the big stone where Shen San is sleeping, see that the master I want to detain the stone to ask the case, and torture the stone to find money!" ”
Gu Feng's voice could surprise the hundreds of people present, and they were all dumbfounded. Gu Feng didn't see it, at this time, the eldest lady Gu Yun almost didn't jump up outside the yamen, and shouted to the second lady and the third lady: "The official designated that he fell stupid!" This...... Isn't this nonsense? The second lady hurried to comfort her.
Gu Feng saw that no one was obeying orders, so he patted the wood and said, "Why don't you go quickly?" Are you going to disobey? The county lieutenant and the catcher hurriedly rubbed their eyes and ran away.
Presumably, the journey was not far, and the time was not long, and a stone slab that was not too big was transported to the hall.
"What big rock? Isn't this just a small slate! Look at your memory, Shen San, are you sleeping on this stone? ”
"Yes! Master! ”
"Come on! Hang this stone and beat me severely, first with a whip and then with a stick, and asked, 'Who took Shen San's silver?' ''Who ate Shen San's nest?'' ’”
This time, no one was lazy, and immediately the officials did it. After a while, the sound of whips and cheers in the lobby was heard, attracting bursts of laughter from the people watching the excitement outside the hall.
The ladies were a little stunned, and they could already hear in the laughter of the people the mockery and dissatisfaction with the young magistrate of Gu Feng, which had not been seen in recent years.
"It looks like the master's reputation is going to be damaged!"
Just when everyone despised the county master of Gu Feng a little because they didn't understand, Master Ma led several disguised officials to send a young man over.
After Gu Feng quietly listened to Master Ma's report, he looked at the young man kneeling in the hall, and asked the official to search him, and sure enough, he found five taels of silver. Gu Feng took the silver and smelled it, felt the degree of greasy with his hand, and quickly picked out that the half tael of silver was different from the other five taels.
Then Gu Feng asked the young man, "Your name is Wan Liang?" …… Look at your name, you shouldn't be short of money! Why don't you tell the master how you stole Shen San's silver? ”
When he heard this, he hurriedly kowtowed like pounding garlic and shouted: "Master! Wronged! I don't even know what you're talking about, and I don't know why you arrested me! ”
Gu Feng smiled and asked again, "I don't know?" …… Then do you know what Shen San's nest tastes like? ”
"Lord Qingtian! I really didn't steal...... What a nest? "Wan Liang didn't finish a sentence and burped a few times. Gu Feng motioned to the shop head to look at his mouth, and sure enough, he found the leek leaves on his teeth.
Gu Feng smiled and asked Wan Liang: "Eating four nests in one go, didn't support you, right?" ”
"What nest head? I didn't have ......"
"Be bold and make a fool of the people, that is, you took Shen San's five taels of silver, which smelled of lard, and after eating four nests, you still have the smell of leeks in your mouth, and you still don't admit the facts, come on! The great punishment beckons to him! ”
Gu Feng is going to be punished, Wan Liang is scared, this guy is not a habitual offender. From the truth, when Shen San was asleep, he took away Shen San's five taels of silver and four nest heads, and as soon as he finished eating the nest heads, he heard that the person who lost the money and the nest head reported the case to the county government, and the county magistrate also opened a court to accept it.
At this moment, the inside and outside of the lobby were boiling, and everyone's faces were no longer full of contempt, but full of admiration.
"Today, this county is too godly! How can a criminal be tried by a stone? ”
It is still the mystery that Ma Po, the famous master of the criminal world, revealed to everyone. It turned out that Gu Feng ordered Master Ma to take people to disguise themselves and blend into the crowd of people watching the excitement, and observe and look for suspicious people who met the two conditions. The first is the dodgy, sneaky man; The second is that I want to go into the lobby to see, but I dare not enter. After catching someone who meets these two conditions, let him open his mouth to see if there is any trace of eating leeks. In this way, Wan Liang was arrested, which can be regarded as his own net.
"This county sentenced you to return Shen Sanwen five taels of silver, and pay half a tael of wotou money. In addition, the 20 boards were beaten and inspected in court; A fine of ten taels of silver was collected into the government as a punishment! ”
After the crackling and beating of the twenty boards, Wan Liang lay on the ground and said with tears streaming down his face: "Master! I...... I don't have ten taels of silver! ”
"Oh? You don't admit punishment, do you? Then go to prison and go to prison for a few years! ”
"Hey, no, no...... Big man! We admit punishment, we accept punishment...... The woman will hand over ten taels of silver, and ask the lord to be kind and let me go! ”
"Huh? Who are you? It's a lot more enlightened! ”
Hearing Gu Feng's question, the young woman who ran over from the crowd and knelt beside Wan Liang hurriedly shouted, holding the silver, "Lord Yu! The woman's name is Zhang Cuihua, and she is the wife of Wan Liang. ”
I don't have to say anything, I was beaten and punished, and people also accepted the punishment, what else can I do? Let people go!
After Shen San got five taels of silver, he also happily kowtowed and thanked him, and got up to leave. I looked at his back and said, "You can grow a little longer in the future!" Can you sleep on the side of the road with your silver? ”
Gu Feng wanted to make a joke of him again, so he shouted: "Hey-Shen San, you're back!" ”
Gu Feng's voice frightened everyone, Shen San quickly turned around and knelt down and asked, "Master!" You...... Do you have anything else to do? ”
"Hey, hey, hey...... I want to see why your jacket pocket is so big? It can fit four big nests......"
Hearing Gu Feng say this, Shen San seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and said a little embarrassed: "I...... My money is in my jacket pocket, and my nest is in my ...... Packed in a pant leg grain bag. ”
"Pants...... Leg? Also grain bags? ”
Before Gu Feng could figure out what it was, Shen San turned over and sat on the ground, unbuttoned his trouser belt and took off a layer of pants.
"Oh - I see! I bought food and put it in a 'trouser leg bag', and the trouser leg bag was carried around my neck or on my shoulder to go home. Hahaha...... Can you still eat that nest? Let's fart a lot! ”
At this time, Zhang Cuihua walked aside with Wan Liang, and just joked: "Listen to the words of the master, you can grow a little heart in the future!" You also eat the nest head that people fart, and you eat four at once, now it's okay, the ass is eating and blooming, and you can't eat ten taels of silver. Let's settle the score when we get home! ”
"Hahaha...... You can grow a little heart! The crowd burst into laughter.
After judging the case and returning to the inner house, the jade fox was elated! The first time I stood in the lobby, the first time I accompanied my lord, it was the focus of hundreds of pairs of eyes! The little girl is very beautiful. exaggerating major things to the ladies and maids and servants is as incendiary as commenting on a story.
Unexpectedly, the second lady looked at her and said tepidly: "You can have a little heart!" Participating in the master's government affairs cannot be easily revealed! ”
After the jade fox's small mouth was closed, she opened it again, stared at a few ladies with wide eyes, and then looked at a few maids, some of the maids pursed their lips and smiled, and she realized that people had seen the entire trial process.
I really didn't expect that on the first day that Old Man Hao dressed up in an ancient style and came to the Ming Dynasty, he created a mantra with explosive traffic - you can have a little heart! He also became a traffic star because of this.
"Master......" Jade Fox turned around and shouted to Gu Feng.
Gu Feng glared at her and said: "Call Lao ......" I wanted to say "husband", but when I thought about it, this was in the Ming Dynasty, the eunuchs were powerful, and those eunuchs were all called "father-in-law", and he couldn't let the ladies call him "husband" or "xianggong" or anything like that anyway, which was unlucky. Then he said: "You can call your husband or an official, don't call me lord anymore!" ”
I didn't expect the jade fox to be called "master", she is full of words. She said: "I'm a man, I'm your scholar, what do you call if you don't call your master?" …… It's going to be stuffed with whatever it's called! ”
Gu Feng thought about it, isn't that it? When I take her out in the future, I have to call the master.
The eldest lady came to Gu Feng to discuss marrying Yuhu, and Gu Feng told her that she was not busy, and she would wait until he had taken care of government affairs. You can still hold a marriage ceremony on a small scale and simply, Yuhu has neither a maiden family nor relatives here, so it is not a grievance for her, the important thing is that we will treat her better in the future.
"Have you found the source of my poisoning?" Gu Feng asked.
Before the eldest lady could answer him, she saw her uncle striding towards him and handing him a letter.
For Gu Feng's internal injuries, Gu Feng has already recalled some. He found that as long as it was a memory in him, he might not be able to remember it if he concentrated on it, but once he had a lead, as soon as he was reminded, he would be able to remember it vividly, and this stream of memories was really interesting!
The letter from my uncle was a letter from Gao Cai Zhizhou and his wife, the lord of the royal palace. The letter said that the idea of letting me go to a neighboring county to take charge of government affairs was only thought up by Gao Cai, and as an old friend, he very much wanted to take care of me, let me do more work, make more meritorious contributions, and then get promoted as soon as possible.
"Take care of me, it should be taken care of in terms of promotion and wealth! It is true that you can do more things more, but you can make more mistakes and know it? Doing less or not doing anything can make meritorious service, and if you don't have merit, you can be promoted, that is to take care of old friends! ”
Gu Feng nagged and listened to the ladies report to him: "Husband! We haven't figured out where the poison was at! Ruyi and Baozhu focused on the Wuyi Immortal Tea given to you by the high horse, and there was no chance of poisoning in other diets and daily life. However, we did not find any toxins in the tea. ”
"It is impossible for the tea to be poisonous, how can Brother Gao Cai harm me!" Gu Feng said disapplausively.
"It's not that I suspect him, but there is only one clue that the tea may be poisoned."
Gu Feng thought about it, no matter how unwilling he was to doubt his friends, he couldn't help but make a possibility to rule out, after all, it was a major matter of his own life.
Gu Feng grabbed the tea leaves and smelled them and said, "This tea is not pure." There's a little bit of a smell in there! …… However, I can't tell what the smell is, huh? Definitely toxic! Arsenic spicy, snake venomous, a little floral red-crowned...... None of this! ”
The ancient nervous self-talk made several ladies seem to be a little frightened when they heard it, especially the eldest lady, who was stunned and stammered: "Husband, husband, husband...... Is this stupid or shrewd? I never knew tea, but it was just a habit to drink too much, and I never knew about poison, and I heard these words for the first time, even my mother and uncle may not know them. Why does the husband know about it? ”
