Chapter 196 Lies are hard to come true

He struggled in exchange for only the servant to press down harder, which was really making himself suffer. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Zhou Ning had a cold sneer on the corner of his mouth, but he would look at the thief coldly to see how far he could act.

His movements and expressions are even in place, and the only flaw is his self-righteous laughter. Ordinary people will definitely be confused by this laughter, thinking that he is really full of grievances, and he will laugh so wildly when he laughs angrily.

Zhou Ning's ears are not so easy to fool, word by word is sent to his ears, and he doesn't have to think about it to know what this person's mood is.

If the person in front of him is a good citizen, his heart must be full of doubts and resentment at this time. A good person came to sell horses, and was captured for no reason, and anyone was puzzled, and anyone was also angry.

But this person's truest thought is panic and fear, the so-called don't do bad things, don't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door, don't be a thief, why is his heart weak?

Zhou Ning has seen a lot of thieves but is not weak-hearted, but he has never seen a person who is not a thief but has a weak heart. Zhou Ning concluded that even if this person was not a horse thief, he had secrets that were not humane.

"Why did I give out a thousand taels of silver, it turned out to be to deceive people and sacrifice horses." The man's face was full of anger, and the words were shocking: "If there is no good horse, it will be enough, and if there is a good horse, it will be accused of being a thief." What a scheming and vicious official, where is your conscience? If you frame the good people for the sake of taking the horse, aren't you afraid of thunder and thunder? ”

It was the first time since Zhou Ning took office that he was scolded in person, and the scolding was justified and well-founded, and even the officials felt a little unbearable on their faces when they heard it.

If it weren't for the fact that they had been following Zhou Ning for a few months, and they had some understanding of Zhou Ning's personality, and being scolded like this today, I am afraid that even they would have to believe that Zhou Ning was a deliberate plan for a good horse.

The purchase of a thousand taels of silver is a bit untrue in itself, and the matter aroused suspicion at first. Attracted people from all over the city to come to the yamen to sell horses, and selected them for several days, and only today did a good horse appear, and the county magistrate immediately turned his face.

Without even asking a word, how can people be convinced that they opened their mouths to conclude that they were stolen horses?

Zhou Ning knew that he was acting, and knew that he deliberately disguised himself as innocent in order to escape responsibility, but this did not mean that Zhou Ning could condone him to scold himself wantonly.

"I'll send you the five plates of the palm, this is the end of you scolding me." Zhou Ning opened his mouth and sentenced him to the punishment of five slaps, but did not let people be executed immediately, but sent him a smile and then beaten. "You keep complaining and shouting grievances, you explain to me where your horse came from and where you are wronged?"

Whether the horse was stolen or not, evidence had to be presented, Zhou Ning had Song Guoxing as a witness, but I don't know what witnesses he could provide.

The man was determined to die, and he said, "This horse was born to my mare, and I raised it from my childhood." ”

"You said you raised this horse when you were a child?"

"Exactly."

"Okay, can you have a neighbor to testify?" Zhou Ning squinted his eyes slightly and stared at his eyes tightly, and a flash of panic flashed in his eyes.

Temporary lying is the most difficult to complete, where can he find someone to testify? This horse is already four years old, hasn't any family or friend seen it? Obviously, to say that there is no witness is to admit that you lied.

"Naturally." The man first insisted that there was a witness, and then changed his words and said: "My family is thousands of miles away, and I am alone in this foreign land, where do you ask me to find relatives and friends to testify?" ”

It's not all a lie, at least his accent proves that he's not a local. Zhou Ning really hasn't asked his name and hometown residence.

Zhou Ning is not in a hurry, this is not a main hall, and it is not a good place to try cases. Zhou Ning directly ignored these process problems.

Is there no one who can prove whose horse is when a person wanders in a foreign land? Zhou Ning asked, "How many days have you been in Yunjiang County?" ”

Song Guoxing has lost his horse for three or four days, he has been in Yunjiang County for at least three or four days, so he doesn't have a place to live? Is there not half a living person in the dwelling?

"More than half a month." The man didn't think much about it in a hurry, and listened to the fact that this question had nothing to do with horses, so he told the truth.

This time it was Zhou Ning's turn to laugh, Zhou Ning smiled and leaned back, and couldn't help but stretch out his right index finger and point at him and smiled: "You, you, your IQ is still low, you are too tender to fight with me, you should say exactly three days." ”

The man's eyes were full of doubts, he didn't understand the difference between three days and half a month, and he didn't understand why Zhou Ning said that.

Zhou Ning explained to him with a smile: "You should have only been in possession of this horse for three or four days, right?" You know that in your own heart. At most, you can say that you have only been here for three or four days, so that when you came on horseback, who can prove that your horse was stolen? You said that you have been here for more than half a month, and I ask you where you have lived for half a month? As long as you name a place to live, I will find out if you are from Yunjiang County on horseback, what will you say to me? ”

The man's mouth. The bar opened wider and wider, and his breathing became more and more rapid. Urge. This county official is really difficult, he can think of so much in an instant. He really doesn't know how to reply now, Zhou Ning is right, if he says that he has only been here for three days, he may be able to deny it.

But now he really can't rely on it, he lives in the Spring Rain Inn, and the boss and the guys can prove that his horse has only been in hand for three or four days.

"Isn't it a great joy that there are many Jinshi in your store today?"

"Hahahaha, I said you're a stupid man, what kind of big deal is Jinshi? Maybe I'll have a champion in this store this year. ”

Sister-in-law Zhang's face was full of joy, Zhou Ning lowered her head and didn't dare to raise it, her face was flushed, he didn't get the seventy scholars in this department, he didn't get it, where did he dare to think that the champion was not the champion?

"Come downstairs with me." Sister-in-law Zhang stepped forward and grabbed Zhou Ning's wrist, grabbed him and dragged him downstairs.

Zhou Ning was stunned: "Sister-in-law Zhang, what do you mean?" "There is a big defense between men and women, and what is the point of pulling and pulling?

"Don't be sour with me, the person who reported the good news is still waiting downstairs, you won the ninth place on the apricot list."

"What? What did you say? Zhou Ning's eyes widened wider than the moon, and he was so excited that he grabbed Sister-in-law Zhang's shoulders with both hands.

"You're in high school!" Sister-in-law Zhang's face was as bright as a peach blossom.

High school? Is it really high school?

Zhou Ning was so excited that she hugged Sister-in-law Zhang, Sister-in-law Zhang pushed him away hard, and scolded non-stop in her mouth: "Monkey cub, why don't you pick up the good news, why are you hugging the old lady?" ”

Before the scolding fell, I saw that Zhou Ning's feet did not touch the ground and drifted down, and Sister-in-law Zhang took a silk and dusted off her clothes and walked downstairs. Zhou Ning couldn't help laughing with the good news, laughing so much that two lines of tears rolled down.
