Bazhou Yagong Hall, Bazhou Thorn Shi Yuwen Wen sat on the head, Changshi Ren Chong sat on the side, the two classes of officials were arranged under the hall left and right, and the crowds outside the hall were all people who came to watch, of course, the kind of hawkers who sold melon seeds, tea, and snacks in the crowd were not allowed to appear at the scene.

First, the officials shouted loudly to be quiet, and when they saw that the scene was quiet, they loudly explained what the case was trying today, and when they saw that the hour had come, Yuwen Wen ordered someone to bring the plaintiff to the court.

"Who's in the hall!"

"Folk woman Zhang Li."

"Who and what is being accused?"

"The people's women sued Tian Yilong in the Tian's Wubao under the Longtou Mountain outside Xiyang City, and he took me captive to the mountain villa and humiliated me for a few days before I was released, please make the king the master of the people's wife!"

Yuwen Wen ordered someone to bring the defendant Tian Yilong to the court, and the crowd outside the hall saw that a person was tied behind his back and escorted to the court, and they all exchanged their heads and ears: "It's really Tian Yilong, the son of Tian Zongchang!" ”

Some people who don't know the truth asked, didn't you say that Yuwen Envoy Jun took the army to Tian's Dock Fort to get people, and the gate in the dock fort was closed, and it was said that he wanted to resist to the end.

Some people also said that they heard that Tian Zongchang wanted his father to replace his son and join the government alone, why is it that now the old one is gone, but the small one has gone to the court, and some people say that they heard that this Tian Yilong is evil to the gallant side, and he led people to drive a small boat to the other side of the river, and moved Chen Jun across the river to relieve the siege.

For a while, the buzz became a film, Yuwen Wen saw that the scene was noisy, and he slapped the startled wood, and then the officials shouted and shouted to order silence, Tian Yilong was taken to the bottom of the stairs, and when he heard the officials asking him to kneel, he stubbornly refused to kneel to see the official, and was stalemate for a moment, and was kicked by the official behind him, and his knees were bent and knelt down involuntarily.

"Who's in the hall!"

Tian Yilong could hear the Yuwen 'plague' above, and he was extremely unhappy, so he turned his head to the side and kept silent. Yu Wenwen asked again, and when he saw that he was so arrogant, he wanted to ask people to step forward and slap his mouth.

It's not happy, it's not happy, but people have to bow their heads under the eaves. Tian Yilong saw that a malicious official stepped forward and didn't want to suffer, so he replied: "Grass people, Tian Yilong." The onlookers couldn't help but be interested when they saw that the legendary unruly young patriarch of the Tian clan was so difficult to do as soon as he came up.

You're amazing, aren't you? Your Tian clan is powerful, right, now you have to see how the Yuwen envoy who judges the case like a god brings you to justice!

Yuwen Wen forcibly suppressed the urge to find fault in his heart and dragged Tian Yilong down with a hundred canes to start the trial, first asking Zhang Li to state the case, and after she finished speaking, she asked Tian Yilong if he had any such matter.

Tian Yilong naturally denied it, not only that, but also glared at Zhang Li viciously, staring at the other party in horror, Yuwen Wen saw that this guy was so arrogant, so he slapped the shocked wood and ordered him to intimidate the plaintiff again, then eat a hundred rods before continuing.

Yuwen Wen asked Zhang Li Shi if the thief who insulted you was the person in front of him, Zhang Li Shi shook his head and said that he couldn't recognize it because his eyes were blindfolded all the time, this was a previously known fact, so Yu Wen Wen immediately entered the next step.

First of all, he took out a schematic map showing the location of the villa where Zhang Li's family was detained, Yuwenwen first asked Tian Yilong if the villa was his family's property, and the other party immediately denied it and said that he had never been there.

As soon as the words were finished, the official presented a roll of paper. The clerk unfolded the scroll of paper to show the public, only to see a few lines of words written on it and dense finger prints, and the clerk saw that everyone in the hall was confused, so he explained loudly: "This is a painting of a total of 68 people from the village near the villa, and they identified the owner of the villa as Tian!" ”

"Nonsense! It's not my Zhuangzi there! Tian Yilong shouted, "Even if the owner of the villa has anything to do with me, there are more people surnamed Tian in this realm!" ”

What Tian Yilong said is true, there are really many people surnamed Tian in Jiangbei Prefecture, just saying that the owner of the villa is surnamed Tian is too far-fetched to say that it is his Tian family's family business, and the onlookers also nodded silently.

Yu Wenwen didn't plan to rely on this evidence to ask for the guilt, so he asked the official to bring someone to the court, and the first one to bring it was Zhao Xing, the coachman of the carriage and horse shop in Xiyang City, and the shopkeeper of the carriage and horse shop who went to the court together. He confirmed that this Zhao Xing was the chauffeur in the line.

Zhao Xing was escorted by the officials and knelt on the ground, crying bitterly, explaining how he had a friendship with Zhang Xiaowu, a servant of Zhang's mansion, in April, as a middleman, and found a cheaper coachman.

"Envoy. The little lard was blinded to those people, and let Zhang Xiaowu hire the carriage, but he didn't want to harm people's lives! Zhao Xing couldn't stop kowtowing, "Those people have a local accent and it won't be a problem to think about it, who ever thought, who ever thought"

The official said loudly on the side that Zhao Xing confessed the appearance of several coachmen who asked him to help as an intermediary that day, and the others had been killed on the same day as Zhang An, but the whereabouts of the remaining one were unknown, and this person had been arrested by the government in a village in Yiyang County the day before yesterday.

After a man was brought up, he first asked Zhao Xing to confirm that he was one of the drivers, and then asked the plaintiff Zhang Li to identify him.

"It's him, it's him who drove the carriage to trick me into the villa!" Zhang Li recognized it for a moment, then pointed at the man and cried, the onlookers were also excited when they saw that they had really caught the wicked, and Yuwen Wen saw that the scene was boiling again, so he patted the driver and asked:

"What's your name!"

"Little Chen Ershi"

"Recruit from the truth, who is the mastermind to do evil!"

"It's Tian Yilong!" Chen Ershi replied without thinking.

"You talk nonsense, I don't know you at all! Who told you to bite me! "Tian Yilong heard the words and was about to pounce on Chen Ershi, but was held down by the officials beside him, Yuwen Wen glanced at this 'Xiyang angry man' and immediately asked again.

He asked Chen Ershi whether Tian Yilong directly instructed him in person or ordered someone to convey it, and the coachman said that on weekdays, it was the steward of the villa who dealt with them and ordered various matters, and they were originally servants of the villa, and they only pretended to be the coachman to work in the city when needed.

If someone wants to go far away, they naturally have to hire a car, and they inquire about the family background of the car hire in many ways, so they plan to do it halfway, and if the accompanying lady looks good, they will find a way to kidnap people halfway.

"In other words, you haven't seen Tian Yilong?" Yuwenwen asked, Chen Ershi said that he didn't see much on weekdays, but he had seen a few times and was the person in front of him, but Tian Yilong flatly denied seeing each other when he heard this.

Yuwen Wen ordered Chen Ershi to re-tell the matter of participating in the abduction of Zhang Li's family. Chen Ershi told the truth of the matter: April. He found out from Zhao Xing, a charioteer, that Zhang Langjun wanted to hire a carriage. It was also found that Zhang Langjun's bride Zhang Li was good-looking, so the steward of the villa arranged for them to commit the crime.

First promised Zhao Xing a favor and asked him to intercede with his old acquaintance, Zhang Xiaowu, a servant of Zhang's mansion, and hired a few of them, and when he went on the road the next day, it happened that Zhang Li was riding in Chen Ershi's carriage, and he designed to damage the wheels and cause them to go slower and slower.

Later, he found an excuse to send the servants with the car to leave Zhang Li's, and then he quietly turned the head of the car and drove eastward into the villa.

As for who pretended to meet Zhang An by chance that day to attract attention, he didn't know, according to the arrangement, Zhang Li was in whose car, who was responsible for taking it away, and others could later put the blame on the thief, as for Zhao Xing, who was promised benefits, he could also be framed.

"After a few days, the steward asked me to pull the unconscious Zhang Li to the side of the official road and throw it away. It seems that he heard that Zhang Langjun of the Zhang Mansion was killed, so he let her go in order to avoid the government from coming to the door. Chen Ershi finished speaking slowly, and added after a while: "The partner who was hired by Zhang An with me that day disappeared later, and after the accident, the steward didn't let me do this again, but stayed in the villa for fear of being recognized by the government." ”

He also said that afterwards, the steward of the villa also ordered someone to repaint the gate and exterior wall of the villa, and the prevention was that Zhang Li went back to sue the official, so that the government followed the clues to find it, and later heard that there were indeed officials who came to investigate, first, the appearance and color were different from the original, and second, the steward also dealt with it properly, so it has not been found out that the village is the place where Zhang Li was detained.

During the whole statement process, Tian Yilong glared at Chen Ershi fiercely, Yuwenwen asked Tian Yilong if he pleaded guilty, he still denied recognizing Chen Ershi, Yuwenwen saw this and signaled the official to bring another person.

That person was Tian Yilong, who had previously come out to report the lord of Lang, Yuwen Wen asked him to identify which of the Zhao Xing, Chen Ershi, and Tian Yilong present was Tian Yilong, and the other party said that he had never seen Tian Yilong, and then asked Tian Yi and Chen Ershi to recognize each other, and both of them said that they recognized each other as servants of the villa.

Tian Yi said that he did not have such a servant in his house, nor did he have Zhuangzi at the address marked on the sketch, and the owner's surname Tian could not explain anything unless there was a title deed to prove it.

"These two people are colluding together, of course they know each other. Who knows who instructed them to frame me against the Tian family! Tian Yilong stared at Yu Wenwen and burst out of his mouth word by word.

The implication of his words is that these people are the actors who you Yuwen 'plague' came to act and frame him, anyway, it is not easy for you to confess to what you want to do.

"Collusion?" Yuwen Wen asked with a smile, and then asked the official to present two pieces of paper. It was also written with handwriting and densely printed handprints, "This is a drawing of the residents around the market near the mountain village, and a total of thirteen people identified this field scale as the person who came to the market to buy things and transport them back to the mountain village." ”

"Tian Scales have often gone to the market to buy things since a few years ago, and there are five people on this piece of paper who have drawn a pledge to confirm that Tian Scales has been buying in Bangshan Villa since five years ago."

Seeing that Tian Yilong was still sneering, he motioned to the official to present two things, the first was a golden hairpin, Zhang Li saw it on the spot and said that it was one of the jewelry she brought when she was taken into the villa that day.

Because she was abused by thieves, her jewelry was taken off and she never put it on again, and a few days later, she was knocked unconscious, taken out of the villa, and when she was thrown to the side of the official road, she woke up without jewelry on her body.

The second is a jade belt, with twelve pieces of jade inlaid on it, one of which has been damaged, according to Tian Yan, this jade belt was taken out by him from the master room of the villa, Yuwen Wen asked the official to carry this jade belt in a tray to Tian Yilong and asked: "Tian Yilong, do you recognize who this jade belt is?" ”

"Where did you get this?" Tian Yilong looked at the jade belt and was dumbfounded, completely losing the momentum he had just now.

"Tian Yilong! You know who this jade belt is! Yuwen Wen spoke for the second time, no longer in a tone of inquiry, but a scolding, seeing that Tian Yilong's mouth was open and speechless, he asked the official to bring another person.

That person was the shopkeeper Lin of the grocery store, Yuwenwen asked him if he recognized this thing after letting him see the jade belt, and the shopkeeper Lin looked at it carefully several times and said that he recognized it, this is the jade belt he sold to Tian Yilong, the son of the patriarch of the Tian clan at the beginning of the year.

"In September, Tian Langjun took this jade belt to me and said that there was a piece of jade accidentally damaged, and asked if it could be replaced, and the grass people said that this jade belt was purchased from Jiankang, and its jade quality was high, and it was urgent to find the same one, Tian Langjun paid a deposit, and asked the grass people to find a way to find the same jade piece, and then notify him to replace it."

"In other words, this jade belt belongs to Tian Yilong, right?" Yuwen Wen asked, Tian Yilong looked at the jade belt with wide eyes when he heard this, and looked at the shopkeeper Lin, wanting to say something but couldn't say it.

"Exactly." Shopkeeper Lin replied.

"Where is Tian Yilong?" Yu Wenwen asked again.

"That's it!" Shopkeeper Lin pointed to Tian Yilong, who was kneeling next to him, and said.

Hearing this, Yuwen Wen patted the shocked wood and asked, "Tian Yilong, can you explain why this jade belt is in the villa, do you want to say that it was stolen by someone!" (To be continued.) )
