Li Rizhi didn't immediately believe Aunt Shang's words, and he looked at Shang Wenbin's appearance, although he had suffered a lot of crimes, but he was accompanied by a doctor in prison, and there were servants waiting for him.

Of course, Li Rizhi understood, but he didn't say it to his face, but remained silent, just nodded slightly, and said, "Brother Shang has suffered a lot, and he still needs to be taken care of." ”

But when Li Rizhi saw it, they were all indignant, and Fu Guibao shouted: "It's really cut, the wound is smooth, this must be cut by a knife, it can't be bitten off!" ”

Quan Shufang also said: "It's really terrible, in order to frame a person, I actually want to cut off his tongue, so that this person can't survive, can't die, although I have read a lot of books, but I have never seen such a cruel thing!" ”

And Chen Yingying simply didn't look at it, she felt that the appearance of no tongue was too terrible, and she didn't dare to look at it!

Only Cheng Zizai looked at Li Rizhi after seeing Shang Wenbin's broken tongue, and saw that Li Rizhi did not show sympathy, nor was he indignant, so he didn't say a word, and he also didn't show any expression of one kind or another.

Shang Wenbin closed his mouth and said a few words to Aunt Shang, but what he said was completely inaudible, and it seemed that his tongue would hurt a lot when he spoke, so he only said these few words, and then stopped making a sound, and sat honestly behind the fence and looked at Aunt Shang.

The doctor in the next prison said: "Shang Gongzi's tongue injury has gradually improved, as long as he takes medicine on time, he feels that the time spent in this prison is about the same, so he plans to go out of prison tomorrow after today, and he still has business to take care of at home!" ”

Aunt Shang heard that the doctor was leaving, she hurriedly said: "Don't be, Wang Langzhong, you should stay here to accompany my family Wenbin more, the old body has already bought the shop next to your house, as long as you wait for my family Wenbin's injuries to heal, that shop is my reward for Wang Langzhong." ”

Wang Langzhong's eyes lit up, of course he knew about the shop next to his house, and using the store as a consultation fee was a very heavy reward, so he continued to accompany Shang Wenbin in prison, and there was nothing wrong with it, and when he went out, his own family would be able to open a shop again.

After leaving the doctor, Aunt Shang said to Shang Wenbin again: "Wenbin, my son, if you have any grievances, just talk to this Li Gongzi, Li Gongzi is proficient in the law, maybe he can overturn the case for you, wash away your grievances, and prevent you from being beheaded!" ”

When Shang Wenbin heard this, he immediately became excited, threw himself on the fence again, and kept whining at Li Rizhi, his expression was very excited, as if he was really wronged, and he urgently needed someone like Li Rizhi to fight a lawsuit for him.

Although Mrs. Shang described Li Rizhi as if he was a lawyer, Li Rizhi was not angry, you must know that lawyers in this era are very unpopular with the government, and a scholar like Li Rizhi who went to Beijing to take the exam cannot get involved with a lawyer, otherwise he will be disgusted by people in the officialdom, especially those in the criminal department.

Li Ri knew: "If you want a pen and paper, then it is better to let Shang Gongzi write it, and I can analyze it for him." ”

Shang Wenbin didn't have much reaction, but Wang Langzhong next door said: "The pen and paper are here, I'll bring them to Shang Gongzi!" He took a pen and paper in his prison and stuffed it into Shang Wenbin's cell.

Shang Wenbin took the pen and paper, sat down at the table, wrote a few lines on the ground, and then handed them to Li Rizhi, these lines made Li Rizhi frown!

saw a few lines written on the paper, it was nothing more than that he did not kill anyone, and begged Li Rizhi to cry out for him, telling the county order that he did not kill anyone, and over and over again, it was just a few words.

Fu Guibao stretched his neck and saw it on the side, even he couldn't stand it, this Shang Wenbin's writing was too ugly, crooked, and the level was not much worse than that of the schoolchildren who had just been enlightened!

Fu Guibao said: "Brother Shang, when your tongue was bitten off, you didn't bite it back?" Ah, yes, it's not bitten off! When your tongue was cut off, did you see who cut your tongue? You should at least write this clearly! ”

Li Rizhi nodded and said, "Yes, if you don't write these clearly, but only shout injustice, it is estimated that the county magistrate will not believe you!" ”

Shang Wenbin whined twice, picked up the pen and wrote a few words, without him handing over the paper, Li Rizhi could see it clearly, what was written on it was not seen clearly, two people, with their faces covered!

Li Rizhi asked: "It's all men, right?" ”

Shang Wenbin was slightly stunned, and then nodded immediately, although the two people who cut his tongue covered their faces and couldn't see their faces clearly, but he could still tell the difference between a man and a woman.

Li Rizhi said again: "Where was your tongue cut?" ”

Shang Wenbin hesitated for a moment, but this question was obviously asked, it should have been asked by the Huayin County Commander when he asked the case, he picked up the pen and wrote a few more lines, which means that he was knocked unconscious in an alley, then he was caught in another place, his tongue was cut, and then he was knocked unconscious, and when he woke up, he found that he was in an alley again, and then he ran home!

What he writes is very simple, obviously his writing is not good, and this conclusion can be drawn from the ugly handwriting he writes, but now he can't speak, so he naturally can't explain things clearly.

Li Rizhi frowned, this is difficult to do, if someone deliberately framed Shang Wenbin and wanted him to be a scapegoat, but Shang Wenbin didn't recognize who it was, then it would not be easy to figure it out, of course, even if he recognized it, most of it would be useless, if it was a murderer hired from other places, then where to check!

Shang Wenbin also knew that he was writing vaguely, but after only writing a few lines, there were several typos, he was very ashamed, and seemed to be reluctant to write anymore, looking at Aunt Shang, his eyes were red, and tears fell again.

It doesn't matter if he cries, Aunt Shang also cried, grabbed Shang Wenbin's hand, comforted him repeatedly, and said that he would do everything possible to overturn the case for Shang Wenbin, so that Shang Wenbin could relax, and he would be released from prison without waiting long in prison.

Li Rizhi glanced back, and saw that Fu Guibao and Cheng Zizi were expressionless, while Quan Shufang was full of righteous indignation, as for Chen Yingying, it was that sympathy began to flood again, and when she saw the Shang family crying, her eyes were also red!

Seeing Li Rizhi coming over, Quan Shufang felt that he should say something, he stomped his foot and said, "When I encounter this kind of injustice, I really want to smash the door of this cell and save Brother Shang!" ”

Suddenly, not far away, the cell boss, who had been watching coldly, said, "You want to smash the cell door?" Think about it again, do you really want to smash it, have you thought about it! ”

As he spoke, the cell boss came over, and he waved his hand impatiently, as if to chase flies, and said, "Okay, the time is up, you go out, if you want to see it, come back tomorrow!" ”

Every time Aunt Shang comes to see her son, the cell boss has to collect money, but each time it can't be too long, after all, the county magistrate is very unkind to a strong murderer like Shang Wenbin, and the cell boss's attitude towards Shang Wenbin can't be very good.

The cell boss kicked everyone out of the prison, and Aunt Shang had to say that she would come to see Shang Wenbin tomorrow, and after everyone came out of the cell, Li Ri knew: "If I go to ask to see the county commander, what is the chance of getting him to meet me?" ”

Seeing Huayin's county order, it was different from his meeting Cui Dongsheng in Zhengzhou, as well as seeing Guancheng County's order, at that time he brought a letter from his uncle Zheng Gangling, which was naturally convenient to meet, but Huayin's county order didn't recognize who Zheng Gangling was, and Zheng Gangling didn't write a letter to him, and it was normal for people not to see Li Rizhi, if everyone asked to see the county order, there was no need to do anything else that day.

The cell boss listened to his words and said with a smile: "My county magistrate has a righteous personality, but he doesn't want to see people who are traitors, and he is even more disgusted with people like lawyers, not to mention that he went out of the city to the countryside to inspect the people's situation, no matter how much you ask to see him, you won't be able to see him!" ”

He was very impatient to push Li Rizhi and them out of the side door and out of the county office, and then went back again, without the slightest sense that Aunt Shang gave him benefits every day, and he had to be polite because he was short of hands, but he felt that these people were very troublesome.

was pushed out of the county office, everyone was silent, Li Rizhi was also a little embarrassed, he had always been smooth sailing in the official mansion, who knew that when he arrived in Huayin County, he was kicked out.

Coincidentally, there was a small restaurant not far away, and Li Ri knew: "I am a little hungry in my stomach, why don't we eat something first, and then discuss countermeasures!" ”

As soon as Fu Guibao sat down, he shouted: "Man, bring me a bowl of yokan, put more garlic, more green onions, more sauce, by the way, put more soup, and a little more cake!" ”

The guy in the small restaurant was happy and said, "Guest, you just say that you can get two bowls!" "Add more to everything, isn't it just two bowls!

Fu Guibao was also happy, pointed to everyone, and said, "Then two bowls per person!" ”

"Okay, wait a minute!" The man went into the kitchen, and after a while, he brought out several large bowls of yokan and put them on the table.

Yokan is the original method of mutton steamed buns, and users are one of the favorite foods of the northern people of Datang, and they can be eaten as a staple food or a vegetable!

Everyone began to eat yokan, and even Aunt Shang ate a bowl, and when she was almost done, Li Rizhi said: "The husband of the murdered woman, why does he have to sue Brother Shang?" Doesn't he know that if Brother Shang was wronged, then he was sentenced to death, wouldn't the real murderer get away with it, although this is not a pain for the relatives, but the enemy is fast! ”

Aunt Shang said: "That Chu Qiang is far from saying that his wife was harmed by my family's Wenbin, but he doesn't care who is the real murderer, in fact, he was a county magistrate in Zheng County, leaving his wife alone at home, he rarely comes back, but it is conceivable that he is not very good to his wife, but his wife died, but he had to hold on to my family Wenbin, I really don't know why!" ”

Li Rizhi sighed and said: "If you think it's Chu Qiangyuan's problem, then you might as well go to him and ask him clearly, go to his house to see, his house should be the scene of the crime, his wife was killed at home?" ”

Aunt Shang nodded again and again, and said, "Yes, she was killed in her own home, but my son didn't go to her house, what does her murder have to do with my son?" ”

Li Rizhi sighed, noncommittal, just stood up, thinking about going to Chu Qiangyuan's house to see the situation, even if Chu Qiangyuan was not at home, then let the servants open the door, they might be able to go in and have a look, or sneak in, it is not impossible.

Fu Guibao suddenly asked: "Aunt Shang, you said that your son has not been to the Chu family, did your son say it, or did someone else say it, did someone say that he had been to the Chu family?" ”

Aunt Shang's face darkened, and said: "It's my son who said it, but others say that he has been to the Chu family, this is obviously a frame, don't listen to rumors, Wen Bin, you have also seen it, how can a child like him do bad things!" ”
