Hou Shouyong, who is in his early forties this year, has been a minister for more than ten years, and he is not a fledgling chick, and he has seen many battles. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info The pomp of the Fan family seems to be that the patriarch is deeply popular with the people and is a benevolent elder, but in Hou Shouyong's opinion, it is obviously deliberate.

If there was no preparation in advance, it would not have been possible to mobilize so many people temporarily, and the words of praise would not have been so neat. At first glance, it is clear that these people have rehearsed many times before. This is not surprising, after all, it is the patriarch of the Fan family who committed the crime, and the time consumed back and forth from the time of reporting to the present is enough for Fan Jiazhuang to make arrangements to deal with his arrival.

Generally speaking, the survey site can be done by the county, but the South China Sea is too big, and the land of one county is equivalent to more than the land of two ordinary counties. It is impossible to effectively manage it by relying on only one yamen, so the county can only be stationed in Foshan Town, and another yamen can be built there, so that cases near the South China Sea can only be handled by county order. These people can only deal with it by themselves.

Unlike ordinary people's thoughts, Hou Shouyong, as a pro-people official, does not care much about the truth of this murder case. The barrier of distance, coupled with the protection of relatives, makes it difficult to investigate and collect evidence. I don't know how to distort and cover up the truth I want, and where to find out. What I have to do is to find out a result that is enough to satisfy my superiors and not let that damn Tao Jianzhi find out the fault, and everything will be fine.

Generally speaking, the way of being an official is not to offend the giant room, and it will not be an enemy of a place like the patriarch. Under normal circumstances, he went through the motions, Fan Jiazhuang gave an explanation, and the matter passed. But he was in a very bad mood today, first of all, his new official robe was actually stained with mud, secondly, he was in his forties, and he still had to ride a horse, and he was not in a proper position to become an old soldier, and finally Hong Zongjia was too useless to even handle such a trivial matter, and he actually made a fuss to report to the official, so that he left the provincial capital to suffer in this poor place in the countryside.

Anger piled up, and Hou Zhixian decided to give the Fan family a little color to see, so that they could know what it meant to break the family and order Yin. Since Fan Jiazhuang has no force, he can not care about public opinion, he did not respond to the statement of the people, got off the mount with the support of the public, and went straight to the place where the corpse was hanged.

Fan Lin's dead body swayed in the wind, no different from when Hong Chengen first met. He was very impressed by this woman who had a few ties with him. It is not easy to find such a Zhou Zheng woman in the countryside, and if it is not necessary, he does not want her to die. It's just that she is too capable of causing trouble, and for the sake of her grandson, she has to die. Hong Seung-eun is a good grandfather, always has been.

Because he was too familiar, as soon as he saw it, he found that something was wrong with the dead body, but he couldn't remember anything wrong for a while, and subconsciously said: "This dead corpse ...... Not quite right? ”

Hou Shou glared at him impatiently, "Not quite right? You mean the dead have been moved? The person who sent the corpse to him asked. ”

The two children of the Hong family who stayed behind were called over, but they replied together: "The dead body is here, and it has never been moved." ”

Not long ago, Fan Jin gave the two of them a science about the adverse consequences of looking at the corpse, including the fate of being involved in this kind of case, so that both of them made testimony contrary to the facts.

Hou Shouyong nodded, "Since this is the case, then it proves that there is no problem, come and sit and prepare the public case." ”

In addition to being accompanied by gentlemen, the county ordered that in addition to being accompanied by gentlemen, Xiucai should also be accompanied. But the Hong family's talent is in social studies, and the Fan family has no talent, so no one will be a guest. Knowing that Fanjiazhuang has neither force nor scholars, Hou Shouyong is even more courageous.

The clever public has already rushed into Fan's house and moved out the most valuable Taishi chair in the family. Some people shouted and went to look for tea and rice snacks, but Hou Shou waved his hand and said: "We are here to interrogate the case, not to eat and drink. ”

Having said that, when the official handed over the tea, he still accepted it calmly, drank half a sip, and couldn't help but spit out the tea. This poor tea is also drunk by people? The harsh environment and shabby hospitality made his anger rise even higher.

The dead body was lowered from the door, and Hou Shouyong no longer waited for the results of the autopsy, and directly looked at Fan Changwang, who was kneeling in front of him, and the people around him.

"Fan Changwang, as the head of the Fan family, if you are upright and can act impartially, why would you force the Fan Lin family to death. If it is really provided for and the livelihood is worry-free, why can it be suspended at night. So many families don't hang, just hang at your door, in this matter, you can't get out of it! If you don't kill Beren, but because of you Beren will die, this case will surely fall on you. And return to the government with the official, and then make calculations. Someone ...... coming."

Since Dafanzhuang has no value of staying, Hou Shouyong has prepared a rope to bring people back to the county yamen, and then slowly send them down. But before he finished speaking, someone in the crowd suddenly shouted: "Old parents are slow, and the grass people have a love in return." ”

Now there is no need for Hou Shouyong to speak, Hong Zongjia has already scolded: "In front of the old parents, how can there be any place for the people to talk nonsense? Who dares to roar in the court again, the old man locked it back with a rope! ”

"Old parents, Fan Jin didn't dare to roar in court, it was really for the sake of the old parents' official reputation. This case is full of suspicions and many drawbacks, and if the case is completed hastily, I am afraid that it will not be able to convince the public. If it is in front of Taishou, the old parents' faces are not good-looking. ”

Hou Shouyong's face twitched slightly, and the word he was most tired of was Taishou. If it was in the public court, just rushing this sentence, he would mercifully reward dozens of boards to this damn Fan Jin. However, if the other party dares to say that he wants to be controlled, he must have some support, and he obviously has to figure out what the other party relies on before he can take precautions.

"Come on, bring this fan in."

The crowd was the most separated, and Fan Jin had already rushed to Hou Shouyong and knelt down to salute. He didn't have a reputation on his head, so he naturally didn't enjoy the privilege of seeing officials and not worshipping, so he had to obediently kneel down and kowtow. Hou Shouyong didn't wait for him to kowtow, and coughed, "You are Fan Jin?" I see you dressed as a scholar, are you a reader? Haven't you been in the pan yet? Have you ever been to school? ”

"Back to the words of the old parents, the grass people are studying in Dafanzhuang Social School."

"In that case, let me save you from prostration, and have something to say. Since you said that there are many doubts in this case, according to this official, I will give you a chance to explain the doubts clearly. If you don't say anything, you don't have to end this course. ”

Hou Shouyong, who was amiable on the surface, actually hated Fan Jin to the extreme in his heart. In fact, the pro-people officials of the Ming Dynasty probably had this attitude towards scholars like Fan Jin who had studied and dared to make trouble.

Fan Jin has no fame and does not enjoy any protection, in Hou Shouyong's opinion, it can be used to sacrifice the knife. Knocking him out is the best target for both intimidating others and not having to bear the consequences. But those who are officials in Fuguo County must be cautious, and they will not blindly act and give people a handle. He decided to give Fan Jin a chance to speak first, and finally clean him up, even if Fan Jin had any friends and teachers to be backstage in the future, he would not be able to stand up for him.

Although Hong Chengen didn't understand Hou Shouyong's intentions, it was always right to follow the magistrate, and he said: "Fan Jin!" You dare to say that this case is full of suspicions, is your eyesight better than that of the grandfather? Even the grandfather didn't say anything suspicious, where did you get the qualifications, pointing fingers! If you can't tell the truth, the master won't deal with you, and I will also take the township contract to deal with you. ”

Fan Jin stood up, saluted Hou Shouyong, and then stretched out his hand to the dead body of the little seventh sister-in-law. "Old parents Mingjian, it rained heavily last night, why is there no mud on this woman's feet?"

Hong Chengen snorted coldly: "What kind of suspicion is this? It rained heavily last night, and maybe the mud on the feet of the little seventh sister-in-law was washed away by the rain. You don't have to be clever here, and your old parents will not let you ...... here."

"Shut up!" Hou Shouyong's voice was extremely cold, and he scolded sharply: "Hong Chengen! The official asked about the case, and you didn't have the right to intervene, so you stepped aside, and the official didn't let you speak, so you weren't allowed to speak. Fan Jin, come forward, the official asked you, what does this dead corpse mean because there is no mud on its feet? ”

"Back to the words of the old parents, the students didn't know what this meant, they just felt that this suspicion could not be explained clearly, so they took the patriarch away, and the Fan family clan was extremely unconvinced. I also ask the old parents to visit carefully and give us justice. ”
