Sixteenth: Gift list turmoil
The Long family has been busy, and it can be said that they are anxious about the matter of the four virgins, who knows that the matter is fermenting in an orderly manner behind the scenes, and the four people of Lu Di have already planned to use this to trample the dealer under their feet.
After Zheng Bao returned to the county office, he also ushered in the team carrying Zhuang Dapeng and Zhuang Sanying.
Zheng Bao looked at a box of treasures and cloth, and commanded loudly: "Master, old housekeeper, you check whether these things are the same as those recorded on the gift list, and they will be stored in the same warehouse, and when the case is judged, these things will be disposed of." ”
Master Wang Ziqing picked up the gift list, and as soon as he opened it, he was dumbfounded, there was not a word on the gift list, and Wang Ziqing hurriedly shouted: "County Zun, why is there no word on this gift list!" ”
Zheng Bao's brows were obviously furrowed, feeling the smell of conspiracy, and he hurriedly grabbed the gift list and looked through it, but it was empty.
"Old butler, what's going on?" Zheng Bao couldn't help but ask.
"County Zun, this gift list has been sealed in the box after singing, and the same is true of the Li family, no one has touched it." The old housekeeper of the Long family patiently explained.
Although Zheng Bao is half a Jianghu person, he doesn't know much about the tricks of the rivers and lakes in his official career, but he knows that there is a person who is clear about this door, "Jishuitian, what is going on with you!" ”
Ji Catcher's mouth was full of bitterness, he was very proficient in this craft, and he also passed it on to Tu Jia's little free cub. He has always lived cautiously, and he didn't expect that he would teach such a little rabbit cub, which makes people worry every day. It's not a disaster coming.
He stubbornly stepped forward and arched his hand: "County Zun, I know this," he walked to Zheng Bao in front of him and whispered.
"Okay, I'll do it right away." Zheng Bao also wanted to know what was going on, and immediately commanded.
Zheng Bao watched Ji Zhutou leave, and then ordered: "Let's see if Zhuang Dapeng's gift list is wrong." ”
"Yes." Wang Ziqing opened a box again, took out the gift sheet and breathed a sigh of relief, the handwriting on it was the same as before.
"Look, old butler, is this the same as the original?" The old housekeeper took the gift sheet and looked at it, the words were there, but the content had changed, and the content scared him so much that his liver was "plopping" and jumping.
"This, this, that's not right!" He remembered clearly that this was not the case, and he hurriedly took out the two copies from his cuffs, and hurriedly opened them and pointed between the lines: "County Zun, you see that this is written by the old man himself, how could it become like this." ”
Zheng Bao took the comparison of the two gift sheets, and suddenly became angry, this is a naked frame-up, none of the backups on the gift list and the copy are the same, and each piece exceeds the value of the original object by three or four times, or each piece has a source, and people are familiar with it. This is putting people to death! As soon as the thing was lifted into the county office, he couldn't explain his eight mouths.
Frame, the frame of Chiguoguo, this is the best trick of the dealer, how many people have been wiped out because of this, it is so poisonous, today it hit someone Zheng's head, and the Long family, this is not different from what Dutang's nephew expected. Since Zheng has seen through it, he must not let him get his wish.
Zheng Bao's eyes narrowed, revealing a dangerous light.
The county yamen suddenly fell into a dullness, and now no one dares to provoke the county's mold, they all know that if they endure the county's anger, everything will pass, and the clouds will open and the sky will be clear.
Zheng Bao walked back and forth anxiously, upset and irritable, without any thought, and without the heart to calmly analyze why Zhuang Dapeng did this? I only think of the evil things that the dealer has piled up, how many good things have been slaughtered, and how many fields and possessions have been occupied. Now he has moved the knife to himself, this knife stabbed into his heart, those boxes of things are the knife that wants to kill himself, he concluded that the box must not be the so-called treasure, all of them are garbage, this is the style of the dealer has always done things, how many people are planted on this, how can I break this game? How to break ???
"County, county." Ji Zhutou had already returned, and after waiting for a long time, there was really no way, and Qi Qiao, who wanted to crack the gift list, wanted to take advantage of it, so he couldn't help but shout twice carefully, which woke Zheng Bao up.
"Ah, Ji Zhutou quickly restored this gift list, see what kind of trick Zhuang Dapeng has laid for this county, and what kind of pit has been dug?" Zheng Bao seemed to see a savior, and grabbed the water sky.
"County honor, don't worry, let the villain restore the county honor." Ji Shui naively didn't want to say what was in his heart, this craft came from the Ji family, from his own hands, this is his own sin. This craft has been used by the little rabbit cub to the fullest, how many people have been framed? How many people have died because of this, what a sin this is, this is all their own sin. I can no longer let the heads of the good officials who protect the people fall to the ground, even if I die, I will admit it, and I will confess this sin to those who died unjustly.
Zheng Bao let go a little embarrassed, and sorted out the clothes that were messed up by himself: "It's hard to catch the head, and it's hard to sleep in this county if you don't know this matter!" ”
"The villain will do his best, please rest assured!" Ji Shui Tian took a long time, and shouted loudly without any hesitation: "Xiao Qi, go and fetch a basin of water, right away." ”
A basin of water was brought to the table, and a jade bottle of iodine water was poured into it, and the gift list was wet with water mixed with iodine, and it was spread out to dry. Lines of blue characters caught Zheng Bao's eyes.
"Haha, Master Tuyi knows that you will be able to solve this little technique, and when Master unlocks this technique, the apprentice has already been imprisoned, because only Master can solve it.
The apprentice gave the master a big gift, and this big gift was to send the dealer to hell. As an official of the imperial court, the dealer manages people's lives, occupies fertile land, and frames goodness, what are the people in his eyes? It's just grass mustard, livestock, and slaves who let me choose. The apprentice picked up the pen and wrote here, so don't pass it by, Tu Jia is a wonderful pen.
Zheng Bao saw that his heart was in his voice, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, a chance for the dealer to die, this gift list will not be so simple, Tu Yi can do it once, can't it be the second time? I won't believe it if I kill myself.
"Catcher, come over here and see what's wrong with this thing?" Zheng Bao turned around and said, and put Zhuang Dapeng's gift list and the three bald gift lists together.
Ji Shuitian carefully read the words on the gift list, and when he finished reading, he was taken aback, a bad thought formed in his mind, and at this moment, the two gift lists rose with dazzling light, and the thin white mist dispersed with the wind.
"Not good." It's too late to stop it, what should have happened has already happened, and it can't be changed.
He slowly opened his eyes for a moment, and knelt at Zheng Bao's feet: "County Zun, the villain is guilty, please surrender the county honor!" ”
Zheng Bao, who was already full of anger, was no longer angry when he saw the text on the gift list, and patted him on the shoulder with a pretended indifference: "Get up, this is all providence, providence, alas! He swept his cuffs, and the two gift slips fell into his cuffs.
People are always in awe of ghosts and gods, and they feel incredible about the inexplicable disappearance of words on the gift list, and people are relieved when they are caught, how can the tricks of the rivers and lakes hide from the wise county lord, but all this is in a flash of fire, and the confidence in the county is dissipated with a faint smoke. That's the manifestation of the ghost god, I don't know if the county has offended the ghost, the god? It made people feel that their backs were cold, and they were so frightened that they didn't dare to come out, their faces were pale, and they were dripping in a cold sweat.
Zheng Bao glanced at everyone and didn't give any explanation, because that would get darker and darker, everyone has a little ghost in their hearts, controlling their dark side, selfishness, stupidity, etc., they are stupid, he doesn't want to lower his IQ, as long as you stand on it at all times, you are his faith, the god in his mind.
"Huh, are you stupid? Don't open the box and inspect the goods soon! ”
Who knows what's next? He dared to let Zheng Bao inspect the goods, and the things that were declared in the inspection box disappeared, can he still say clearly? I still find time to find the Tao inside to find the county to understand, his own tricks are also notorious, and he can only apologize for his death in front of the ancestors, this is the ancestral teaching, it is not allowed to use this technique as a disaster for others, and the offender will apologize for his sins when he dies, he has always kept it in mind, remembered it in his heart, and imprinted it in his bones.
"The county is respectful, it's better to seal it first," Ji Shuitian said anxiously, and he nodded heavily to Zheng Bao. I just want to leave a good official for the people of the world, to ensure the safety of the people, and to die without regrets.
Zheng Bao knows the nature of the officials under his jurisdiction, and Ji Shuitian is upright and benevolent, especially the master who is not good at lying and is full of words, Zheng Bao manages the safety of the people on his right hand and shoulder. He knew that it made sense for Ji Zhutou to say this, so he nodded and ordered: "Put these things in the silver vault, Hao Bantou, I order you to send someone to keep an eye on them for twelve hours, and there will be no mistakes, and no one will be allowed to approach without my orders, until the trial of this case is over." ”
"Yes, county." Hao Sanpao stepped forward and responded loudly, commanding the men and horses to leave with large boxes and small boxes.
There were Wang Ziqing, the old housekeeper and Ji Shuitian left in the lobby, Zheng Bao smiled bitterly: "Today's matter is troublesome, we have all fallen into the trap of the dealer, let's talk about what to do!" ”
Everyone looked at Ji Shuitian together, and only he could solve this matter, looking forward to it diligently.
Ji Zhu's head bowed, "County Zun, the words on the gift list have taken root, and there is no way to change it, please surrender the county." He knelt down again and prostrated himself.
Zheng Bao has never been the master of making his subordinates kowtow and confess their crimes, this is a sign of cowardice and incompetence, and how to solve problems is his style. He looked at the cowardice of Ji Zhu's head, and he didn't get angry, and slapped the table with a slap. ”
"Say, how can you untie this knot, can someone Zheng solve the problem by treating your crime? Zheng will push you to the entrance of the vegetable market and behead you now. If you are a gentleman, stand up and untie this knot for Zheng, do you know it, um! Zheng Bao was anxious, there can be no mistake in the ancient town of Baima, the virgin hall, the Qinglong Temple, the Long family, they are the real meaning of the existence of the ancient town of Baima. Now that the Virgin Hall, the Long family, himself, and the Zhenhu Camp have also had accidents, and this place is already in danger, how can he, the chief official who governs here, not be in a hurry, and how to deal with himself? The biggest test has come, can you hold up this world? Can you keep the white horse safe? That's just a wishful dream!
Ji Shuitian had never seen such a big fire from the county honor, and he was really angry. He knows that what should come is still coming, who let himself be kind for a while, teach Tu Jia, the little rabbit cub, the tricks of the family heirlooms, so that his poor mother and wife can live better, who knew that such a big sin would be committed, and this sin should also be borne by himself, and he must bear this sin.
He shed two lines of tears, I don't know whether it is regret or hatred, his mood is unprecedentedly complicated, but he did not flinch, he is a man, he is a man from the rivers and lakes, a person who has worshiped Guan Gong, a person who takes the lead in righteousness and has a responsibility.
"County Zun, Ji Mou will tell the county Zun everything, Tu Yi under the three bald men is my apprentice, I taught him some martial arts, some tricks to deceive people, this gift list is from the villain, please surrender the county." After Ji Shuitian finished speaking with all his strength, he suddenly found that he was light, and he became calm, and he was just going to die. Being innocent and doing things frankly, isn't this exactly what you want? He leaned over the ground and waited for the county to fall, calm and waveless, like an ancient well.
Wang Ziqing rolled his eyes, leaned close to Zheng Bao's ear and whispered: "We are not as ...... as this"
"Okay, that's it." Zheng Bao immediately clapped the board, stepped forward to help Ji Shuitian, and patted him on the shoulder: "Old Ji!" Come with me to the back hall and tell me about your past! This is very important, you know? Zheng Bao's tone was very heavy.
"Obey, the villain knows everything."
Zheng Bao waved his hand: "Let's all go down and follow the master's arrangement." ”
"Yes!"
