Chapter 1: The Winter Solstice (Part 3I)

Cheng Mingzhen didn't know the woman whose clothes were torn to shreds. But at this moment, his mind became very sharp. The woman's figure is very plump, as described by Zhou Lihu at the wine table yesterday, her ass is bigger than half of the room!

A woman with a big ass that is more than half a room! It must be the second son of the Zhou family, a famous secret prostitute in Guantao County! During the banquet yesterday, Li Laojiu and others instigated themselves to serve it to her nest! "I don't know him!" Cheng Mingzhen knew that he had fallen into the trap set by others, but he was unwilling to struggle. "The lowly office fainted near Chengxian Street last night, this woman doesn't know the lowly job, and she doesn't know where he lives!"

After listening to his words, there was a buzzing discussion inside and outside the yamen. According to the rules of the Great Sui, the people must be allowed to observe the trial of major local cases. At this moment, most of the servants in the hall and the people watching the excitement in the hall did not believe that Cheng Mingzhen would attempt to kill a secret prostitute. This is like letting a wild crane flying high in the sky go to a toad covered with abscesses, which is not at all logical.

"You said you passed out near Chengxian Street?" Lin Xian Ling gently patted the table with a startled wood and motioned for the people below to be quiet. "But, Jiang Bailing, where did you find Cheng Mingzhen? Come forward and tell everyone about it? ”

"Humble position, humble duty found Cheng Jiaotou in Liuye Lane near Xiaoyao Building!" was named on the spot by the county magistrate, and Jiang Bailing was very embarrassed. Last night, he was in charge of leading people to patrol the streets, and overheard the screams of women coming from Willow Leaf Alley. After the brothers rushed over with their weapons, they happened to see the famous secret prostitute king in the county die at the door. And Cheng Jiaotou, who invited everyone to drink more than an hour ago, fell in the courtyard of Wang's big buttocks, smoky from alcohol, and couldn't wake up.

This accusation was very powerful, and the surrounding discussion immediately became quieter. During the period of Cheng Mingzhen's disappearance, Jiang Bailing, who took over his position as a soldier, did a very conscientious job. Most of the night patrols of others are perfunctory, but when it is his turn to be on duty at night, he is eager to sweep every corner of the county. In recent days, although there have been more and more unemployed people in the city, the law and order have not continued to deteriorate under the pressure of the bullets of the errand soldiers. When the people talked about the credit, Jiang Bailing was naturally pushed to the first place.

Glancing at Cheng Mingzhen, whose hands and feet were chained, guiltily, Jiang Bailing lowered his head and retreated to the position where he should stand. He didn't believe that Cheng Mingzhen had killed someone at all, but the responsibility on his shoulders forced him to tell the truth. Although, he himself knows that telling these truths will not reveal the truth, but will make the case more and more confusing.

"Despicability is framed by others. The lowly was knocked unconscious first, and then dragged to wherever he was! Under the gaze of the onlookers, Cheng Mingzhen loudly defended himself. This charge cannot be admitted in any case, and after admitting it, he will lose more than just a good future. But at this time, no one can help him. There are all Jia and Guo who are head-catchers, and among the officials, who are usually friends with them, they either dare not speak at all, or they are far away.

"It would be nice if Wang Ermao was here!" While defending himself, Cheng Mingzhen was thinking in his heart. "He still has at least a head-catching official hat on his head, and at least he can distinguish a few words for himself."

Lin Xian Ling sighed again, as if he was regretting Cheng Mingzhen's indisputability. "You said you were framed, why wouldn't this county want that? Cheng Mingzhen, do you know that the county has written a document to the county, and at the latest, it will not be half a month at the latest, and your county position will be approved back! Do you remember that the county repeatedly told you yesterday that I don't want you to go to Zhou Gongzi for trouble. At that time, he thought you were dead, so he took Zhu as a concubine. This county knows that you are wronged, but no matter how wronged you are, you can't kill innocent people to vent your anger! You, hi, what do you let the county say about you! ”

"Your Excellency!" Cheng Mingzhen raised his head in shock, he never expected Lin County Ling to think like this. This is simply an insult to his personality, and he cannot afford to lose his future and what little dignity he has left. "My lord, please think about it, Cheng Mou is the kind of person who doesn't care about the overall situation for the sake of his children's feelings? When he went to the place of death alone, did he ever turn around and say goodbye to his family? Adult, please think about it, with Cheng's martial arts, if you really want to do this, when you can't do it, why do you have to be drunk to do it. And then you have to stay and be caught? ”1⑹k?? àp.1(6) text version debuted

"That's right!" "That's right, his martial arts are so high, how can Jiang Bingcao hold him?" Immediately, the chatter began to grow louder again, and the onlookers looked at each other with suspicion in their eyes. The noisy discussion made Lin Xian Ling very unhappy, and he slapped the startled wood hard, and said loudly: "That's why this county thinks that you are drunk and promiscuous, so you have done such a shameless thing!" But killing someone is killing someone, this county pities your talent, but the law of the country does not allow you! ”

After that, he waved his hand, took out a wooden plate, pointed to the murder weapon in the wooden plate and asked: "If there is no evidence in this county, it will not be determined that you are a murderer just because you are at the scene." Cheng Mingzhen, see for yourself, whose knife is this?! ”

I didn't bring a weapon yesterday! Cheng Mingzhen screamed in his heart. His eyes were attracted by the horizontal knife in his hand, and he couldn't leave. It was the horizontal knife given to him by the prefectural commander on the night the thieves came. And after he left the city, he personally handed it over to his good friend Wang Ermao!

No wonder Ermao's eyes kept dodging when he saw me! It turned out that he had colluded with Jia and Guo to get together! The last trace of warmth disappeared, and Cheng Mingzhen felt the cold around him. He knew that he shouldn't come back, and in the entire Guantao County, no one welcomed him back. People prefer a clay puppet in the City God Temple to him who is alive! Because clay puppets will not compete with anyone, and clay puppets will not threaten anyone's status.

"Whose knife is it, and what do you say?" Lin County's words continued to come from above, but without the slightest emotion.

"The sword was given to me by my lord!" Cheng Mingzhen smiled and gritted his teeth in response. "It was given to me by my lord to kill thieves. On the same day, I took him to see Zhang Jincheng! Lie to him and say that Guantao County is ready to surrender, let him launch an attack a few days later! ”

He didn't want to remind the spectators around him that he had saved them. Although that is a fact that no one can deny! Remind them that it is probably useless. People's memory is always declining according to need, and when they don't want to remember, they can forget everything. Since the appearance of the "murder weapon", the surrounding whispers have completely changed direction. The spectators were furious, their anger was so cheap, so "righteous and strict".

"But as soon as I entered the enemy camp, the knife was confiscated by Zhang Jin. The knife here is made of fine iron, and the quality is high, Zhang Jin said that after taking it, he never returned it to me! "Since others colluded to frame themselves, Cheng Mingzhen plans to muddy the water even more." Didn't you say the knife was mine? His eyes were full of sneers, vicious and desperate. "Well, this knife is lost in Zhang Jincheng's hand, and whoever holds this knife will have something to do with Zhang Jincheng." ’

"As for how this knife appeared in the lobby! Root??? Pick up? Îē Wen??" He turned his head and looked angrily at the spectators who were accusing him, and he didn't dare to make eye contact with him or raise his head. "I don't know, when I returned to Guantao County, I only had one horse, empty-handed, and didn't bring any weapons!"

"What a poisonous mouth!" Lin Xian Ling was so angry that he slapped the startled wood hard. Obviously, he didn't expect Cheng Mingzhen to suddenly become so unruly when he saw the horizontal knife. "So, you're not going to confess?"

"My lord, what do you want me to confess?" Cheng Mingzhen turned his head back and looked coldly at the county order in the hall. Jiang Bailing betrayed himself because Jiang Bailing was Jiang Ye's nephew. Wang Ermao betrayed himself, because Ermao wanted to continue to be a head catcher and didn't want to repeat the life of donkey alley. What about the Kelin County Order? Why did he identify himself as a murderer? If it wasn't just him, the murderer, who saved him, he would have died under Zhang Liang's sword that night! How can there be today's majesty!

Lin Xian Ling was seen as weak in his heart, but the anger on his face became more and more intense, "Breaking into people's houses at night, killing people, roaring in court, and defying the king's law!" He grabbed the fire stick in front of him and threw it down, "Hit me, forty boards, kill his majesty!" ”

"Mighty ---- Martial -----" The officials paused with water and fire sticks and sang loudly. In the midst of the prestige, several veteran officials raised their boards and hit Cheng Mingzhen's back hard.

"Bang!" "Bang!" The sound of the wooden board touching ** is heart-wrenching to the ears. Cheng Mingzhen tilted to the side, turned around and looked at the executioner viciously. Three boards hit his back in succession, making him unable to breathe, but it hurt his heart even more, like ten thousand steel knives poking.

"I'm wronged!" He gritted his teeth, but he couldn't stop the blood from trickling from the corners of his mouth. "My lord, I have only killed thieves, not women! I ......" Suddenly, he closed his mouth, and his gaze shot at Lin Xianling's face like a knife, full of confusion and resentment.

He saw Lin Xianling playing with another fire stick in his hand. The thumb is on the top, and the index and middle fingers are buckled at the low end of the fire stick. That's one of the most common hints in the yamen. Under this sign, there is death and no life!

"Hit me hard!" Lin Xian Ling did not hesitate to raise the fire stick and throw it in front of the hall.

Suddenly, Cheng Mingzhen completely understood. However, he no longer had the strength to resist.
