Chapter 158: Pretending to be a fortune teller
Fu Guibao was full of nonsense, and even wanted to reach out to touch Cheng Zizi's hand, but Cheng Zizi said: "Why don't you touch yourself first, why do you want to touch me!" ”
Chen Yingying said: "Hey, do you really know how to touch the bones, how do you know that your craftsmanship is superb, have you touched it for others?" ”
Fu Guibao said triumphantly: "Of course, I touched it for others, as the saying goes, touch the bones a hundred times, the strange art appears, I ......"
"Who have you touched it for? Isn't it your family's Fu Laixi? Chen Yingying asked.
Fu Guibao sighed, he couldn't think of anyone else he could touch, so he had to nod, Fu Laixi was a servant of his family, and he had always followed him and served his entourage!
Chen Yingying immediately said: "Your Fu Laixi looks so ugly, he is a man with five big and three thick, you even touched his whole body, you are so disgusting!" ”
Cheng Zizi shook his head and said, "No comment!" ”
Fu Guibao then understood that he had been tricked, and was about to sneer at each other and get back to the field, but Li Rizhi spoke.
Li Ri knew: "If, I mean if, this case is related to Liu Xiuya, then even if it is related, Aunt Shang can't sue her, because this case has been closed, unless there is direct evidence that can prove that Liu Xiuya is the murderer of Wang Yanxue, or that the killer was sent by her, unless there is such direct evidence, the county order will not be promoted to ask about the case again!" ”
After a pause, Li Rizhi added: "Even if Aunt Shang crosses the level and goes directly to the state to complain, she will not be promoted to ask about the case again, I think she must have asked someone who understands the law, so she didn't go to the state, because she knew that it would be in vain to go, so she pinned her hopes on the street to wait for the criminal department waiter to pay a private visit, because only in this case, can she be retried without evidence, and even if she goes to Chang'an and goes to the criminal department to complain according to the regular method, she will definitely not accept her case!" ”
Fu Guibao and the others listened to Li Rizhi's words, and they all nodded, they all knew about this, and presumably Aunt Shang was also clear.
The government accepts civil cases, and after the verdict, it must be reported one by one, especially the death penalty, and it must be reviewed by the criminal department, and sometimes even the emperor himself must be executed, and the government is very cautious about sentencing the death penalty, and it is by no means that whoever has been wronged has to accept his fate, at least in the early Tang Dynasty, there were very few such cases.
And once the verdict is made, then the defendant and the defendant's family want to overturn the case, it will be extremely difficult, if you want to bite others, want to climb others, so that the defendant can get away with the crime, or reduce the punishment, this situation is very many, anyway, the defendant has been sentenced to death, and his life is gone, so what are you afraid of, see who is not pleasing to the eye, climb and bite, pull others as backs, at this time the defendant and his family dare to do anything!
So if you let them bite, then the government doesn't have to do anything else, just listen to their nonsense all day long, this, of course, is not good!
Therefore, unless there is significant evidence that can directly overturn the previous judgment, the government will not retry it, let alone accept it at a higher level, so as to prevent the occurrence of false accusations and climbing bites, of course, this practice is flawed, this is a fact, but there is no better way to find a better way in this era, this is also a fact!
This is the case at this time now, family members like Mrs. Shang who try their best to overturn the case are very disgusting to the government, but after a few years, people like her will be very popular with some people in the government, because at that time it entered the era of Wu Zetian, and Wu Zetian encouraged this kind of behavior, and even Wu Zetian encouraged anonymous complaints, which made cool officials rampant, and many officials were falsely accused and tortured to death in prison.
Li Rizhi looked at Fu Guibao and said: "You pretend to be a fortune teller, after entering the Jin family, you see Liu Xiuya, try your best to trick her, if you find that Liu Xiuya is not suspicious, then this matter will be done, let's think of other ways, if you find that she is suspicious, then you can find a way, sue her to the government, or she will sue you to the government, and then lead you and her case to her and Wang Yanxue's case, so that the old case will be retried, and then I will do it, you just need to trick her into the government!" ”
Now if you want to retry the old case, you can only use this roundabout method, otherwise if Liu Xiuya does not enter the yamen, the old case will not be retried, the government will not accept the case, and it is impossible to summon Liu Xiuya for trial, so you can only use other cases to make an introduction, just like taking medicine to use medicine, to deceive Liu Xiuya to the court, and then make the county order take over the case, thus leading to the old case and retrying the case of Shang Wenbin and Wang Yanxue.
Fu Guibao patted his chest and said: "This matter is on me, to deal with this kind of merry little woman, I still have two tricks for my little brother, make sure she wants to die, and willingly go to the yamen with me!" ”
Chen Yingying said angrily: "Why do any words come out of your mouth, and they taste the same as shit?" ”
"You smell dog poop a lot, and you know what dog poop smells like?" Fu Guibao immediately asked rhetorically.
Li Ri knew: "Don't make trouble, Yingying, you still have to put on makeup for Xiaojie, change clothes, and the fortune-telling outfit, you have to carry it on his back, first of all, you have to make the appearance a little similar to the fortune teller, so that Liu Xiuya can invite him into the Jin family!" ”
Chen Yingying grinned at Fu Guibao: "Xiaojie, you finally fell into my hands!" ”
"You, what are you going to do to me?" Fu Guibao put his hands on his shoulders, and then said happily: "Then hurry up and do it!" ”
Chen Yingying snorted: "You guy who doesn't wipe your ass with poop!" ”
"You, you're so unladylike!" Fu Guibao was furious, and it was okay to frame him for pulling his pants and not washing his buttocks, and now he directly said that he didn't wipe his buttocks when he pooped, which was too much!
Cheng Zizi shook his head and walked away, these two people are really not like words, it's too disgusting, girls don't look like girls, teenagers don't look like teenagers, the world is going down!
Back at the inn, Chen Yingying asked the servant to go out to buy clothes, and the servant took the order.
Chen Yingying immediately put on Fu Guibao's makeup, and after a while, the makeup was completed, and Fu Guibao looked in the mirror, Fu Guibao said angrily: "What are you doing dressing me up as a head, and I still wear a golden hoop on my head, am I a monk who leads the hair to practice!" ”
"Maybe Liu Xiuya likes monks, seeing such a handsome little monk as you, she still leads the practice, maybe I will invite you to my home for a drink!" Chen Yingying said with a smile.
Fu Guibao and Chen Yingying argued with reason, he refused to pretend to be a monk, at this moment, the servant who went out to buy came back, there is money to make the ghost grind, the servant bought back a full set of fortune tellers, and even bought back a flag, looking at the appearance of the clothes, some similar to Taoist robes, it seems that Fu Guibao is not a monk, then he can only be a Taoist priest!
Fu Guibao couldn't, so he had to ask Chen Yingying to dress him up as a Taoist priest, and in order to show his profundity, he even glued a fake beard to him.
Everything was ready to stop, Fu Guibao hung a peachwood sword on his waist, carried a blanket on his shoulder, and held a small flag in his hand, on which was written the iron mouth god calculation, out of the inn, rushed to the Jin family, Li Rizhi and others left a few zhang away, followed behind.
When Fu Guibao came out of the inn, the shopkeeper was stunned, when did such a person live in his store, when did this fortune teller enter the store, why didn't he find out?
Fu Guibao walked all the way to the door of the Jin family, stood at the door and shouted: "Fortune telling, fortune telling, five hundred years before and five hundred years later, anything can be calculated, it is very accurate, it is a high price, don't ask me for money if you don't have money, give money first, and then fortune telling!" ”
Pedestrians on the street looked at him, all avoided him far away, this fortune teller is different, others say that they can't calculate it accurately, but he said that if there is no money, don't ask him to calculate, but also give money first, and then fortune telling, this method of attracting customers, but it is the first time I have seen it.
Fu Guibao's shouting, naturally no one would ask him for fortune telling, and he kept walking around at the door of Jin's house, pretending to pass by the door of Jin's house accidentally, and the shouting sound was louder than the other.
Li Rizhi took Cheng Zizi and Chen Yingying to hide far away, hiding in a small alley, paying close attention to the movement at the gate of the Jin family.
When Fu Guibao walked to the tenth round and forth at the door of the Jin family, the gate of the Jin family finally opened, and there was a young woman lying on the crack of the door looking out, and after seeing Fu Guibao, she hesitated for a moment, and then the door was opened.
The young woman leaned out half of her body and said to Fu Guibao: "This gentleman, what kind of hexagram book do you use to tell fortunes, is it the Book of Changes?" ”
Fu Guibao took out a book from his coat, looked at it, and then waved at the young woman and said, "I...... Poor road is used by Zhou Yi, poor road I fortune telling is very accurate, on the knowledge of astronomy, down to know geography, no matter life or death, I can make a statement, but the asking price is also high, each hexagram is always money, if you can't afford to pay, don't look for me to tell your fortune! ”
The Jin family lives in such a mansion, if Liu Xiuya in it believes in superstitious fortune-telling, then how can she care about such a reward as money, on the contrary, after paying the money, Liu Xiuya will believe Fu Guibao's words even more.
The young woman asked, "I don't believe you are very accurate, if you have the ability, then you can calculate what my surname is, and if you are right, I will give you the same money!" ”
Fu Guibao looked this young woman up and down, and saw that she was handsome, in terms of appearance alone, she could be regarded as a beautiful woman, and in terms of temperament, she was very quiet and elegant, if she was Liu Xiuya, then it would match her name.
Fu Guibao closed his eyes, pinched his fingers to calculate, and muttered something in his mouth, but he still didn't dare to bet that this woman was Liu Xiuya, if he was wrong, then he would lose the opportunity to enter the Jin family, and things might change again, but as a fortune teller, fooling a young woman at home is not a very simple thing.
Pretending to be calculated, Fu Guibao said to the young woman: "You and the owner of this house are not the same surname......
Observing the young woman's expression, seeing that she didn't react, he immediately knew that he had guessed correctly, if it was a surname, then there would definitely be a reaction at this time, of course, even if there was a reaction, he would immediately improvise.
Fu Guibao said again: "But then it became a surname ......" and then observed, seeing that the young woman actually nodded slightly, expressing her approval, this is too unvigilant, it is simply telling others that she is the daughter-in-law of this family!
Fu Guibao Dao looked up at the sky, and began to mumble again, and after muttering a few words, he said again: "The owner of this house has more than five elements, so he must be surnamed Jin!" ”
The young woman sighed, her mind seemed to be relatively simple, and Fu Guibao performed quite a master's style, so she actually believed it, opened her eyes wide, looked at Fu Guibao, and waited for him to say it below.
Fu Guibao frowned, and said, "Madam, your ancestors are very famous, and your maiden family name has dragon energy!" ”
The young woman sighed again, this time without nodding, but looking at the expression on her face, she seemed to be quite in agreement with what Fu Guibao said. In fact, Fu Guibao's words are to determine whether this young woman is the daughter-in-law of the Jin family and Liu Xiuya!
And this young woman is very good at fooling, almost completely revealing her identity.
Fu Guibao said: "Poor Dao will not be wrong, madam, your surname is Liu!" ”
The young woman nodded again and again, and said, "Sir is so powerful, he actually calculated my surname, please enter the hospital, I ask Mr. to calculate a hexagram for me." ”
Fu Guibao wiped his forehead and said, "In order to count your surname, I used most of my mana, and I need time to recover, I'm tired!" ”
Before entering the door, he glanced at the distance, with a smug expression, as if he was telling Li Rizhi and Chen Yingying that they were okay, in terms of fooling people, this son still has two tricks.
