Zhong Hao came out of the Cloud Gate Study, walking a little lightly, ha, we are also people who have published books! This is not a big writer in later generations!

Remembering that he hadn't eaten breakfast yet, the breakfast stall had already been closed, Zhong Hao saw that there was a shop selling pastries on the street, so he went in and weighed a bag of hawthorn cakes, ready to pass the stomach, and brought Wan'er a bag of her favorite fragrant mochi by the way.

Zhong Hao wandered around casually, eating hawthorn cakes while walking towards his own house in Dongyang City. Autumn is cool and sunny, Zhong Hao is in a good mood, and he feels that the sky seems to be much bluer, and the air seems to be much fresher.

When I walked to the intersection of Shifang Road, which was about to reach the Wannian Bridge, a merchant selling Yali pears came to meet him.

"Guest officer, buy a few duck pears to eat, the villain's duck pears are sweet and crisp, and the skin is thin and juicy.

Zhong Hao saw that the pears in the merchant's bamboo basket were really good, so he said, "Then weigh a few!" ”

"Okay!" The merchant who sold Ya pears put down the two bamboo baskets he was holding and asked Zhong Hao to pick the pears.

Zhong Hao bent down and lowered his head to pick pears from the bamboo basket in front of the merchant, but the merchant suddenly took out a stone from the bamboo basket behind him and came to Zhong Hao.

Zhong Hao was looking down to pick a duck pear, and suddenly felt that his eyes were dark, and he couldn't help but look up. I saw that the merchant was holding a stone in his hand, standing in front of him, looking at himself through gritted teeth, and couldn't help but be startled.

Zhong Hao hurriedly stepped back and said loudly: "What are you doing, what do you want to do?" Tell you, master, I've practiced! In order to prove his words, Zhong Hao also put on a martial arts move of "white crane wings". It's just that he has a bag of hawthorn cake in his left hand and a bag of fragrant mochi in his right hand, and his posture is a little ridiculous.

The merchant ignored Zhong Hao's powerless threat, only to see him grit his teeth and close his eyes, the stone in his hand was rounded and smashed towards his head, "bang", his head broke and bleeding, and the merchant fell straight back.

"Ga", Zhong Hao couldn't help but be dumbfounded, is this the one who acted? How did you knock your own head open?

However, soon Zhong Hao understood!

Because at the moment when the merchant fell, another thin merchant selling Yali at the corner of the street immediately shouted at the top of his throat: "Someone, help, kill someone!" ”

Before Zhong Hao could react, a group of fast-catchers wearing soapy clothes and fast boots appeared from the corner of the street.

"Where? In broad daylight, who dares to commit murder on Lao Tzu's land? The group of fast-catching squad leaders shouted fiercely.

"If you go back to the master, it's this kid!" The thin man pointed at Zhong Hao and said.

Zhong Hao hurriedly waved his hand to justify: "It's not me, it's not me, it's him who beat himself!" ”

"Hit yourself yourself? Is he a fool, or do you take Lao Tzu for a fool? The head of the fast hunting squad surnamed Xu, listened to Zhong Hao's defense, and said coldly: "Take it away!" Did you beat it, you have your own words when you see the county lieutenant! ”

Zhong Hao subconsciously raised his hand to stop it, and was hit on the arm by a tall catcher with a stick, which hurt so much that Zhong Hao almost shed tears.

The hero does not suffer the immediate loss, and Zhong Hao has to give up his futile resistance.

"Hey, I'm a scholar, I don't need chains, leave me some Sven, I'll go by myself."

The group of catchers ignored Zhong Hao's words at all, and quickly wrapped Zhong Hao with iron chains.

Alas, Sven swept the floor, didn't it mean that the status of the Great Song Dynasty scholars was high, and most people would save some face for the readers? Why don't these catch fast cards according to common sense! Zhong Hao couldn't help but scold these people for not being able to catch fast and not knowing the rules.

The group of catchers quickly pulled Zhong Hao, carried the merchant who had opened the scoop who fell to the ground, and called the thin merchant, and came to Yidu County together together.

Yidu County Ya is a little dilapidated, the entrance of the Ya is a standard official office wall, the door is closed, the side doors on both sides are open, and the drum of grievances on the side of the door is full of dust. "Officials do not repair the government" seems to be the rule of the past dynasties that officials are officials. Of course, this "official does not repair the office" has to be the front office, and the place where the officials and masters of the back office live is still repaired more elegantly.

The group of catchers quickly pulled Zhong Hao into the side door and came to the second hall of the county government.

The general cases in the county government are handled in the second hall, and the cases handled by the officials of the yamen are generally mainly mediated, and only the relevant officials can decide the case if the mediation fails. Civil disputes are generally mediated by the county registrar, and criminal cases are generally mediated or tried by the county governor in charge of public security. As the number one in the county, the magistrate will not judge the case lightly.

I want to see the county magistrate sitting in the lobby and slapping the wood, and the two rows of officials below are shouting "mighty" while smashing water and fire sticks on the ground, unless there is a drum of injustice, or there is a major homicide case. At this time, the drum of grievances is not something that can be beaten casually, because once the drum is sounded, the parties are not ready to be good, and they are determined to make things bigger, which is a big case. The same is true for homicide cases. In short, if you want the county magistrate to come out, you have to be a big case.

Zhong Hao's case is a fight, although the plaintiff is in a coma, but obviously no one has died, it is not a major case, naturally it is not able to alarm the county magistrate, and it is generally tried by the county lieutenant who is responsible for the security of a county.

The group of catchers quickly put the merchant who was carrying it in the second hall, and Xu Bantou sent a helper to the county medical hall to ask the doctor to come and treat him, and asked Zhong Hao to take care of him and personally go to ask the county lieutenant to open the hall.

Soon, Zheng Lang, the lieutenant of Yidu County, who was wearing an official uniform, came to the second hall.

Zheng Lang paced the official steps, walked to the long case in front of the "Jiangshan Hague Map" and sat down, and said solemnly: "Who is the person in the hall who sued, and what is the matter?" ”

The thin merchant fell to his knees and shouted, "I beg the third master to be my brother's master!" The villain Gu Liuhe sued this madman for beating my fellow villager Du Da Hammer on the street to a coma! The thin merchant pointed at Zhong Hao and said.

The Song people are ancient, a county magistrate is called Da Ling or Ming Mansion, its Zuo Erguan County Cheng Ya is called Er Yin, and the county lieutenant is called Shao Ling or Shaofu. But ordinary grassroots people are obviously not familiar with these nicknames, and they generally refer to the four parent officials in the county as the eldest master, the second master, the third master, and the fourth master in turn. The county lieutenant ranks third, and he is naturally the third master. At this time, the status of the main book was not as good as that of the county lieutenant, and he could only become the fourth master. It wasn't until the Ming Dynasty that the main book in charge of civil affairs crossed the history of the law and order and became the third master.

"Get on your knees!" Seeing that Zhong Hao was still standing under the hall, Xu Bantou couldn't help shouting.

"Student Zhong Hao, he is a scholar, please leave a decent place for Shao Ling!" Zhong Hao bowed deeply to County Lieutenant Zheng.

Generally, officials are from literati backgrounds, and they will leave some dignity for scholars. If you treat the scholars too harshly and spread the word, it will leave a bad influence in Shilin. But County Lieutenant Zheng didn't hear Zhong Hao's words, obviously didn't want to give Zhong Hao face.

Xu Bantou saw that County Lieutenant Zheng was indifferent to Zhong Hao's request, and immediately glanced at a catcher beside him, and the two of them quickly stretched out their feet and kicked Zhong Hao's leg at the same time.

"Poof", Zhong Hao knelt on the floor tiles of the second hall, his knees aching. , you wait for me, Zhong Hao scolded in his heart, and he didn't know whether to scold the team leader or scold County Lieutenant Zheng.

Seeing Zhong Hao kneeling, County Lieutenant Zheng calmed down and asked Gu Liuhe what happened to the case.

Gu Liuhe opened his mouth and said: "The villain's family is Shantou Village, Jinling Town, and most of our village has Ya pears, and we will sell them in the city with a sledgehammer today." In the morning, the sledgehammer came across this man to buy pears. As a result, this person tasted it, and thought that the pears of the sledgehammer were not sweet. The pears in our village have always been sweet and crisp, and Sledgehammer refused to accept it, so he argued with him. Unexpectedly, this man was so frustrated that he couldn't argue, so he picked up a stone from the side of the road and knocked the sledgehammer to the ground at once. Saying that, Gu Liuhe put the stone in front of the hall and said: "This is the physical evidence of this person beating the sledgehammer, the villain saw it with his own eyes, and he can be a witness, and a few big brothers who caught it also saw it, and he can also be a witness, and he also asked the county lieutenant to be the master of the sledgehammer!" ”

After listening to Gu Liuhe's speech, County Lieutenant Zheng asked Zhong Hao in a cold voice: "Gu Liuhe said that you can plead guilty?" ”

Zhong Hao just listened to Gu Liuhe making up the story there, and wanted to open his mouth several times, but was stopped by Xu Bantou, and when he heard that Zheng County Lieutenant finally asked him, he hurriedly shouted: "The student is wronged, the student didn't have any dispute with Du Da Hammer at all, besides, the student has no power to restrain the chicken, how can he beat this person with a tall Du Da Hammer, in fact, he injured himself and framed the student!" ”

"What kind of grudge do you have against Du Da Hammer, and why did he frame you?"

"This ...... The student and he have never known each other, and as for any grudges, this ......"

"Smack", County Lieutenant Zheng slapped the wood in shock, and sneered: "Since he has no grievances with you, why should he seriously injure himself to frame you?" Bold fanatics, now that there are human and physical evidence, and you still don't admit your guilt, do you have to let the official be sentenced before you are willing to confess? ”

"Hey, Lord Shaoling, and slow down the punishment, this ...... Is this self-injury or other injury, is this a pedestrian to check it? But whether it was the student who beat it, or whether this Du sledgehammer framed the student, it is naturally clear! "Pedestrians are servants, officials of the government who specialize in autopsies and injuries.

Zheng County Lieutenant said: "Okay, then call the pedestrians to check it!" ”

Xu Bantou sent a gang to pass on the pedestrians in this county. Soon Hou San, a pedestrian from Yidu County, was called, Hou San looked a little deer-headed rat-eyed, he stepped forward to carefully inspect Du Dazhui's injury, stood up, and replied to Zheng County's lieutenant: "Hui Shaoling, according to the small inspection, this person belongs to his injury!" ”

When County Lieutenant Zheng heard this, he looked at Zhong Hao and said, "What else do you have to say?" ”

, this is going to kill me! Zhong Hao didn't understand it at this time, he would really be a fool. This Du Da Hammer, Hou San, that group of fast catchers, and Zheng County Lieutenant are clearly in the yin together!

Zhong Hao couldn't help but think of a way to get out, but found that he had no choice. I have no power or power, I know so many people in Qingzhou, and now I really have no other way than to be slaughtered by others.

Seeing Zhong Hao bowing his head and being silent, County Lieutenant Zheng immediately shouted: "Come on, give me a big punishment!" "Obviously, County Lieutenant Zheng is planning to put Zhong Hao to death. You must know that a young scholar like Zhong Hao will have thirty or forty years to take the imperial examination in the future, and if he wins the examination and becomes an official, he may wait for an opportunity to retaliate. It seems that since County Lieutenant Zheng planned to torture Zhong Hao, he didn't plan to give him a chance to turn over.

When Zhong Hao heard that he was going to be punished, he quickly confessed. Under the five trees, there will be something, rather than being tortured and confessing again, it is better to confess now and be happy, saving the pain of the flesh and skin, Zhong Hao knows that he will definitely not be able to survive the punishment.

Zhong Hao said respectfully: "Lord County Lieutenant, the student pleads guilty, and the student is willing to admit guilt." I wonder if the student can reconcile with the sufferer? The student was willing to pay for him. In later generations, criminal cases could not be private, but in most of the Great Song Dynasty, the principle of "the people do not sue, and the officials do not prosecute" was still followed. Although Zhong Hao knew that people must be deliberately scaring himself, he still held on to the hope of what happened and offered to lose money and settle.

County Lieutenant Zheng listened to Zhong Hao's words and snorted coldly: "Count you as acquaintances!" He turned to Dr. Sun from the county hospital who was treating Du Dazhui and asked, "Can the bitter master wake up?" ”

When Zhong Hao heard this, he couldn't help but secretly hate: This Zheng County Lieutenant didn't ask when the bitter master would wake up, but asked if the bitter master could wake up? It seems that I am really planning to yin me to the end.

At this time, Dr. Sun of the county medical hall was re-dressing the wound of Du Da Hammer, and when he heard Zheng County's question, he hurriedly got up and replied to Zheng County: "Hui Shaoling, the head of the bitter master was violently concussed, I am afraid that it will be difficult to wake up for a while, as for whether it can wake up in the future, it needs follow-up diagnosis and treatment, people's heads are the most complicated, what is the situation, I am not sure." ”

Zhong Hao listened to Dr. Sun's reply, and understood in his heart: I'm afraid that this Dr. Wu is also their group. Even if it wasn't, I wouldn't dare to offend County Lieutenant Zheng and tell the truth.

I don't believe it, I can smash myself myself, and I can't wake up! When these people sing and harmonize, they are obviously deliberately correcting themselves.

Zheng County Lieutenant said: "Since the bitter lord can't wake up for the time being, then put the defendant in the county jail first, and wait for the bitter lord to wake up, if he doesn't agree to reconcile, the official will judge the case again!" ”

Gu Liuhe sobbed: "The sledgehammer is strong, and it will not be reconciled, and I ask the third master to directly judge the case, punish the murderer, and make the decision for him!" ”

County Lieutenant Zheng listened to Gu Liuhe's words and said: "Even if the bitter master does not agree to reconcile, he has to depend on his injuries before he can be convicted." If he can't wake up, or if he does, but his brain is broken, then the official will have to sentence him severely, at least three thousand miles. But now, Du Dazhui's injuries are still uncertain, how do you let this officer judge the case? You sign and draw the charge first, step down, and go and inform Du Dazhu's family to take people home first. In this case, the official will judge the case impartially. ”

"Nima, ruthless enough." Zhong Hao heard County Lieutenant Zheng say that if Du Dazhui couldn't wake up, he would have to exile himself for at least 3,000 li, and he couldn't help but curse in his heart.

County Lieutenant Zheng asked Zhong Hao to sign and draw the detention, and sent someone to send him to the county prison for imprisonment.
