"A trip? Hehe, did Lord Guo Dequan Guo let the two officials come? Ma Shifan said with a smile.

"You'll know when you get there." Another official sneaked a glance at the previous one.

The official immediately understood, and said with a smile: "Eh, yes, then let's go." ”

When Ma Shifan and Ma Gan heard this, as they expected, they couldn't help but look at each other and smile, but this smile was very hidden and not easy to detect, and only between their father and son could detect each other's smiles.

"Then my father will go with the two officials quickly." Ma Gan said, and by the way, he took out four pieces of money and handed it to the two officials, and said with a smile: "Just invite the two officials to have a cup of tea." ”

The officials glanced at each other, and one said, "No need." Let's hurry up, or the adults will be in a hurry. ”

Ma Gan reluctantly put away the money, looking embarrassed.

"Okay, the old man will go, please lead the way." Ma Shifan said.

"Okay, let's go."

The two officials walked in front, and Ma Shifan and Ma Gan walked behind.

"Qian'er, you go to Hongyan Tower to set a table for a banquet, and afterwards your father will have a banquet for Lord Guo and Zhang Wang Li. Celebrate. Ma Shifan said to Ma Gan.

"Good father, the boy will ride forward." After Ma Gan finished speaking, he broke up with Ma Shifan and went to the stable.

Ma Shifan happily rode the carriage of the official messenger to the yamen of the state capital. He felt a little puzzled, wasn't it over? How did you come here? Could it be that Guo Dequan was appointed governor of a state? Yes, this is also possible, such a large state capital cannot be without officials for a day.

He thought as he followed the official into the lobby. When he stepped one foot into the threshold of the majestic lobby, he froze.

Everything in front of him was so different from what he had imagined.

Seeing that Ma Shifan was stunned, the two officials on one side forced him into the lobby.

Ma Shifan came back to his senses at this time, and when he saw Guo Dequan looking at him with a sad face, he immediately felt that something was wrong, but he had already arrived in the lobby, so he had to act at the opportunity.

"You're Ma Shifan?" The transfer envoy in the hall asked.

"Eh, it's the villain." Ma Shifan said while observing the surroundings, and when he saw that Ouyang Song and Liu Yong were safe and sound, and their demeanor was calm, and they did not look like they were being interrogated, he panicked in his heart.

"Okay, this official asks you, have you ever known the boss of Hongyan Tower?" The transporter asked.

Ma Shifan looked at the boss of Hongyan Tower, but the boss didn't look at him. He didn't know what was going on here, so he had to answer according to common sense.

"Yes, the villain knows." Ma Shifan replied.

"Then have you ever gone to the boss of Hongyan Tower to testify?" The transporter asked.

Ma Shifan looked at the owners of Hongyanlou and Guo Dequan on both sides, as well as the three sauce shop owners. I felt that something was wrong, so I wanted to answer it.

"Why don't you say it soon?" Where can he ponder.

"Oh yes, the villain went to him. Because the villain Cheng heard Wang Dong say that he had heard Liu Yong and Lord Zhizhou's conspiracy in Hongyan Tower, Guo Dequan and Lord Guo asked the villain to ask the boss of Hongyan Tower to testify. Because the villain has a very good relationship with the boss of Hongyan Tower. Ma Shifan said, looking at Guo Dequan, only to see Guo Dequan glaring at him secretly. He shuddered.

The envoy nodded, then asked, "Did you go by yourself?" ”

"This ......" Ma Shifan secretly looked at Guo Dequan again.

"Say it quickly." The transporter shouted.

"Well, yes, the villain went with Master Guo." Ma Shifan, who didn't know the situation here, had to tell the truth.

"Okay, then the official will ask you again, in order to let the boss of Hongyanlou come to testify, have you ever given the boss of Hongyanlou benefits?" The transporter asked.

"This ......" Ma Shifan hesitated again.

"What's this, that's it." The transshipment made some unhappy.

"Yes, the villain has given it, but it's just a courtesy exchange between friends." Ma Shifan said.

The transport envoy nodded, and asked again: "Then when you gave benefits to the boss of Hongyan Building, was Lord Guo around?" ”

"Yes." Hearing that the transfer envoy was angry, Ma Shifan didn't dare to delay any longer.

"Good. Ma Shifan, this official will ask you one last question, you have to come back from the truth. If it's fake, do you understand the end? The envoy's tone was stern, and as soon as the words fell, there was a sound of shock.

The crisp voice frightened Ma Shifan.

"This official asked you, did you let the boss of Hongyan Tower commit perjury?" The transporter then asked.

As soon as these words came out, the shocked Ma Shifan almost didn't fall crooked. He froze and shouted in his heart: It's over, it's over.

"Come on."

Bang, the transfer envoy slapped the shocking wood again.

Ma Shifan shook his head again, and replied with a shudder: "No, no, no." "He didn't dare to admit it, and instigated others to give false testimony, which is also very serious according to the criminal law of the Great Song Dynasty.

Bang, the startling wood sounded again.

"Ma Shifan, this official will give you another chance, have you ever asked the boss of Hongyan Tower to come and commit perjury?" The transporter asked sharply.

Ma Shifan looked at the boss of Hongyan Building on the side with trepidation, and he understood that it should be the boss of Hongyan Tower who told the truth. So, he hurriedly kowtowed and replied: "Yes, it's the villain who is not good, and the villain admits it." ”

The transporter smiled slightly.

Liu Yong and Ouyang Song glanced at each other and expressed satisfaction with the development of the case. I also hated Ma Shifan's little tricks.

"Ma Shifan, that is to say, you deliberately want to frame Liu Yong and Lord Ouyang?" The transporter asked.

"Yes, yes." Ma Shifan gave up resistance completely. But he didn't have much capital to resist.

"Okay, Guo Dequan, that means that you also know that the boss of Hongyan Tower and these three people came to do perjury?" The transfer envoy asked Guo Dequan again.

Guo Dequan lowered his head and knelt in the hall, he knew that this time it was a mistake to steal chickens and rice. I can't help but give up the rice, and I also planted a big heel.

"Yes, the lower official knows." Faced with the testimony of the owner of Hongyanlou and Ma Shifan, Guo Dequan had to admit it.

"Well, then the case is clear. Lord Ouyang and Liu Yong were wronged. I will not judge you, but please take your seats. The transfer envoy said to Liu Yong and Ouyang Song.

"My lord, but the villain wants to sue Ma Shifan and Guo Dequan, accusing the two of them of conspiring to frame the villain and Lord Ouyang." Liu Yong knelt down and said.

"Okay, this official will accept it." The transporter nodded.

"No, Xia Guan has never conspired with Ma Shifan. My lord, Xia Guan didn't know about this, it was all planned by Ma Shifan alone. Xia Guan was also deceived and used by Ma Shifan. Guo Dequan hurriedly shirked his responsibilities.

Ma Shifan sneered on the side.

"Ma Shifan, why are you laughing?" The transporter asked.

"Back to my lord, let's not talk about whether the villain conspired with Guo Dequan, the villain may ask Liu Yong, what evidence do you have for saying this?" Ma Shifan looked at Liu Yong.

Liu Yong smiled.
