Chu Qiangzhi's heart was full of doubts, of course he would not think that Li Rizhi was nosy, and when the road was uneven, drawing a sword to help each other was the main theme of this era, especially an orthodox Tang Dynasty official like Chu Qiangzhi, he would not think that Li Rizhi had the idea of going against him, not to mention that Li Rizhi explained it so clearly, it was for Shang Wenbin to see what he learned when he broke his tongue.

Suddenly, hearing Fu Guibao talking nonsense again, Chu Qiangzhi slapped the shocked wood and said: "The god operator retreats, the monks must keep their mouths and morals, and do not talk nonsense, so as not to tarnish people's reputation!" ”

If it was just now, when he didn't suspect Liu Xiuya, then Fu Guibao once again started his speculation and nonsense, then Chu Qiangzhi was very likely to ask the official to slap him, but now he began to suspect Liu Xiuya, then Fu Guibao imagined it again, and Chu Qiangzhi was just a reproach.

Fu Guibao said with an aggrieved face: "Alas, Poor Dao just told the truth!" ”

Li Rizhi glanced at him, signaling not to say it yet, if there is anything to say, wait for Shang Wenbin to come to the court, and then he will give Liu Xiuya a real blow, so that Liu Xiuya will tell the truth!

Chu Qiangzhi thought about it, he was also a little hesitant at this time, after all, if he tried the wrong case by himself, and then overturned the case and retried it, it would damage his reputation, and in the annual routine evaluation, it is estimated that he will not get better comments, which will have an impact on whether he can be re-elected to the post of Huayin County Commander.

But just after hesitating, Chu Qiangzhi made up his mind, this is a human life lawsuit, human life is a matter of heaven, you can't let a person lose his life because he doesn't want to take responsibility, although that Shang Wenbin doesn't seem to be a good bird, but after all, it is also a human life.

After making up his mind, Chu Qiangzhi waved his hand at the servant and said, "From death row, bring Shang Wenbin to the court." ”

The official hurriedly agreed, went to the prison to extract Shang Wenbin, Huayin County is in good order, there are no other prisoners in the prison during this time, only Shang Wenbin alone, as well as Lang Zhong and the servants who served him, fortunately Chu Qiangzhi did not go to the prison to inspect, otherwise he would have to crook his nose when he found that Shang Wenbin lived so nourishingly!

It didn't take much effort, Shang Wenbin was brought to the hall, as soon as Shang Wenbin went to the lobby, he didn't need others to press him to kneel, he himself fell to the ground, bang Chu Qiangzhi knocked his head three times, and then lay his head on the ground, not daring to move, looking at his appearance, he was really taught enough, just like a child who did something wrong and was scared to death.

Since Shang Wenbin didn't look up, there were some people in the hall, and he didn't notice that after so many days of imprisonment, Shang Wenbin couldn't think of anyone else except for his own affairs, not to mention that he had always been a person who only thought about himself.

Chu Qiangzhi saw that Shang Wenbin was brought up, slapped the ground and said, "People who committed Shang Wenbin, raise your head and look at the people around you, do you know her?" ”

Shang Wenbin raised his head slowly, his reaction was a little sluggish, his movements were not very fast, and because he turned his head in the wrong direction, he actually looked at Fu Guibao's side, and then saw Li Rizhi, and then he turned his head, nodded again and again, and said, "Woo woo woo!" ”

Half of his tongue was cut off, although he was not completely unable to make a sound, but if he wanted to say the whole thing, he would not think about it in this life, anyway, as long as he could show that he had seen Li Rizhi.

Chu Qiangzhi pointed in the opposite direction and said, "This official asked you to see this person here!" ”

Shang Wenbin was stunned for a moment, and quickly turned his face away, and now he immediately saw Liu Xiuya, although Liu Xiuya turned her face to the opposite side, not wanting Shang Wenbin to see her clearly, but there is such a big place in the hall, she doesn't let her see it, Shang Wenbin can still see it, not to mention that the two are so familiar!

Seeing Liu Xiuya, Shang Wenbin's whole body trembled, frightened a spirit, and then hid back, it seemed that he wanted to stay away from Liu Xiuya, his face was full of fear, and he kept screaming, it was obvious that he knew Liu Xiuya, and this kind of expression would definitely not be pretended.

Chu Qiangzhi's eyes immediately widened, there is a reason for this, Shang Wenbin and this Liu Xiuya have a situation, maybe it is really related to Wang Yanxue's case!

Chu Qiangzhi shouted: "Jin Liu, turn your face and let the prisoner see it clearly!" ”

Liu Xiuya had no choice but to turn her face around, and at the same time she also looked at Shang Wenbin, but she looked at Shang Wenbin's eyes, but it was extremely fierce, it was hard to imagine that a woman named Xiuya usually looks really beautiful, but at this moment, it is strange that she will become like this!

Shang Wenbin was even more afraid, although he knelt on the ground, no one restricted his movements, so he retreated again and again, until he retreated to the feet of the officials, and was kicked by the officials, so he didn't dare to retreat!

Chu Qiangzhi said again: "Liu Xiuya, you can see clearly, this person is called Shang Wenbin, do you know him?" Look at the way the prisoner looks, he knows you! ”

However, Liu Xiuya's mouth was extremely hard, she withdrew her fierce gaze, and returned to the appearance of a Wenxiu woman, she shook her head and said: "The folk woman doesn't recognize this person, presumably he is also the same as this Taoist priest, good at speculation, full of nonsense!" ”

Shang Wenbin could only make a whining sound because his tongue was cut, but he couldn't refute Liu Xiuya's words, and looking at his expression, he didn't seem to dare to offend Liu Xiuya, so although he was very scared, he only dared to whine a few times, but he didn't dare to show that he knew Liu Xiuya.

At this time, Li Rizhi thought to himself: "It seems that this Liu Xiuya is very powerful, but she is a woman, and she is a woman who believes in ghosts and gods, how can she make Shang Wenbin so afraid?" Well, she does have some guts, she dares to let a strange Taoist priest enter her house, such courage is certainly worthy of admiration, but she didn't expect that we would pull her away at the door in advance, why should she let others be afraid of her, what kind of strength is she relying on? ”

At this moment, there was a sudden cry outside, and it should be Aunt Shang's arrival. Li Rizhi thought that Aunt Shang was a little extreme, so they went to the Jin family to do errands and did not notify Aunt Shang, but the case was tried in the yamen, and Aunt Shang would naturally know, and when she got the news, she rushed here.

Outside the gate of the yamen, Mrs. Shang saw her son Shang Wenbin and was escorted to the lobby again, she was really sad and happy, sad that her son had to suffer the pain of being tried again, and she was happy that it was finally possible to retry her son's case, so it meant that there was hope, and her son had hope that he would not be beheaded.

Shang Wenbin heard his mother's cry, he was also anxious, turned around and whined outside the lobby, the performance of their mother was full of sympathy!

Chu Qiangzhi didn't know what was going on in the prison, and he didn't know that Aunt Shang had bought off the jailers, and she could go to see Shang Wenbin every day.

Seeing Shang Wenbin and the monk crying miserably, Chu Qiangzhi inevitably felt some compassion, so he said: "Left and right, let the old woman of the Shang family enter the hall to listen, after all, she is also the mother of the prisoner." ”

As soon as Aunt Shang arrived in the hall, she immediately hugged Shang Wenbin and cried, although the current performance of the two of them does have something sympathetic, but such a crying method will inevitably affect official business, and it will be annoying.

Li Rizhi stepped forward and whispered: "Don't cry or shout, be careful, in case Aunt Shang is kicked out again, then this case really can't be retried, is it possible to expect Shang Wenbin to be alone in the hall!" ”

This was said quite politely, but Aunt Shang listened to it, and immediately stopped crying, she saw Li Rizhi and others in the hall, and knew that this was the help of the scholars, and she herself has no great ability, someone can help her, of course she has to be obedient, and as soon as she doesn't cry, Shang Wenbin will stop.

Chu Qiangzhi saw that the top and the bottom quieted down, and then said again: "Shang Prisoner, Jin Liu said that he didn't recognize you, but you said that he recognized her, one of the two of you must be lying, since you say you know her, then tell me why you know her, or find out the human and physical evidence, left and right, give him a pen and paper, and let him write it." ”

An errand officer handed over a pen and paper, spread the paper on the ground, and asked Shang Wenbin to kneel on the ground and pout his butt to write.

Shang Wenbin's writing is quite bad, he is a rich man's son, his family is rich, and he has no ideal of taking the imperial examination, so of course he doesn't care about reading, what are the serious consequences of not reading well, he can't see it when he doesn't encounter things, but now he encounters things, this is very serious, when his tongue is cut in half and he can't speak with his mouth, his writing is not good, it is almost equivalent to his life.

Shang Wenbin wrote for a long time, and he didn't write many words, when he was writing, he kept glancing at Liu Xiuya, and sometimes went to see Aunt Shang, his expression had a concern, it seemed that he was very afraid of Liu Xiuya, and he was very reluctant to his mother Aunt Shang, so he was worried about something.

Li Rizhi saw clearly from the side, and he thought to himself: "Perhaps, it was Liu Xiuya who threatened Shang Wenbin with something, and it is even possible that if Shang Wenbin dares to talk nonsense, then she will attack Aunt Shang, if he doesn't want his mother to die, then what is the crime, let him bear it alone." This possibility exists, but what power does Liu Xiuya have to threaten Shang Wenbin? ”

What kind of power does Liu Xiuya have to threaten Shang Wenbin? Shang Wenbin is a gentleman, this kind of person belongs to the heavens and the earth, I am only afraid of my father in the world, of course Shang Wenbin is afraid of his mother, then Liu Xiuya's power must be everyone's Shang family, and dare to say and do, otherwise Shang Wenbin will not be afraid, maybe Shang Wenbin's tongue was cut off by Liu Xiuya!

Just when Shang Wenbin couldn't write why he knew Liu Xiuya, Li Rizhi had already figured out his thoughts, he knew that Liu Xiuya could scare Shang Wenbin, whose strength he relied on!

The strength that Liu Xiuya can rely on will only come from two aspects, one is the power of her husband Jin's family, and the other is the power of her mother's family!

If it is the power of the husband's family, then if Shang Wenbin has a personal affair with her, the private relationship between men and women in these years is mostly nothing good, if Liu Xiuya threatens Shang Wenbin, if you are disobedient, I will tell my husband about it, and my husband will clean you up, this threat may not be able to scare Shang Wenbin, because if Shang Wenbin is unlucky, Liu Xiuya will also be unhappy, so Shang Wenbin will not necessarily be afraid, at least not afraid of being like this.

But if Liu Xiuya's backer is her mother's family, then the situation is different, because her mother's family will always support Liu Xiuya unconditionally, no matter what kind of mistakes Liu Xiuya makes, her father and brother will stand on her side, this is the difference between father and brother and husband.

If Liu Xiuya and Shang Wenbin have a personal affair and her husband knows about it, then Shang Wenbin will be unlucky, and Liu Xiuya herself will not be able to escape, but if their private relationship is known to Liu Xiuya's father and brother, then only Shang Wenbin is unlucky, Liu Xiuya's father and brother will do their best to cover up the matter, and even do not hesitate to use knives against the people of the Shang family, and Shang Wenbin's tongue is probably the result of using knives.

And if Shang Wenbin is not honest without a tongue, then Liu Xiuya's father and brother may use a knife on Shang Damiang, although Shang Wenbin does not seem to be a good teenager, but to his mother, he should still be filial to his mother, and he doesn't want his mother to be hurt.

Li Rizhi came to the conclusion that Liu Xiuya must have a very powerful mother's family, and her father and brother must be a very frightening existence!
