Han Gang retreated straightforwardly, leaving doubts and confusion outside the hall.

The news that the newly arrived Han Zhi County would retry the case in front of He Shuangyuan's tomb in three days soon spread throughout Baima County from the onlookers who were observing. At the same time, it also reached the ears of his two younger brothers from Zhu Li's mouth.

"Trying at the grave?" Zhu Lin's brain spun quickly, "...... This is to dig a grave! ”

"Grave digging is useful?" The third elder of the family laughed at Han Gang's wishful thinking, "How many times have you dug up the grave and opened the coffin to find evidence?" There's not a single new trick! When did He Khotan and He Yunwen agree to come down? Those who are not grandsons are afraid that there is evidence in the coffin, and those who are grandsons are afraid that they will be pointed at the backbone and say that they are not filial. ”

"It's old-fashioned, indeed." Zhu Lin sneered, "I remember Li Zhixian at the beginning, then Wang Zhixian, and then what is the name of the one later...... The one who looks like a pair of bulging eyes, he also wants to open the coffin after he comes down, but it doesn't work out any time! ”

"Maybe Han Zhengyan can make a dead man speak......" Zhu Li groaned, and suddenly a sentence came out.

"Let the dead speak?" The second and third eldest of the Zhu family thought that Zhu Li had told a good joke, and laughed together, but laughed a few times, looking at Zhu Li's expression not like he was sarcastic, Zhu Lin put away his smile and asked tentatively: "What means are the eldest brother afraid of him?" ”

Zhu Li shook his head and said nothing, his face was slightly calm, frowning and thinking about something. The second and third elders of the families glanced at each other, and they all felt that something was wrong. At this time, the cronies who stayed in the county office to inquire about the follow-up came back to report the news.

"There is news, Han Zhengyan ordered after he went back, and he will fast for three days next."

"Fast for three days?!" When Zhu Lin heard this, he was shocked. He ordered his cronies to leave, and when he turned around, he asked Zhu Li urgently: "Big brother, shouldn't he learn any spells from Sun Zhenren?" ”

"Who knows?" Zhu Li shook his head, the ghosts and gods said, he had always been half-believed. But Han Gang's series of legends crossed his heart, even if Sun Simiao didn't pass on his spells, but he also used what kind of thing to subdue the Hanlin Bachelor, maybe, Han Gang really has such unpredictable means, "I can order the trial in front of the tomb in three days, if I can't break it, I will lose my face." I am probably somewhat sure that I can do this. ”

"That'...... So what do we do? ”

"Can't let him dig a grave!"

Zhu Li never wanted Han Gang to succeed. If the thirty-year-old Chen case really gave him a clear understanding, Han Zhengyan, who had established a prestige, would be nothing but flattery and obedience in Baima County, and their brothers would not be able to do anything except flatter and obey orders, and living like that for a year or two, it would be enough to feel aggrieved to think about it.

"Those two must be opposed!" Zhu Li instructed his two brothers, thought about it, and reminded again, "Be careful, don't let people see through it." ”

……………………

"Is it going to open the coffin for an autopsy?"

At the same time, Han Gang's three aides were also guessing what was going on. What the Zhuli brothers could think of, of course they would not be unexpected, and they thought more deeply.

"What's the test?" Wei Pingzhen raised his eyes and asked Fang Xing with interest, "Han Zhengyan has never refused to admit that he is a disciple of the Medicine King. No matter what method is used to verify it, if there is no medicine king Sun Zhenren behind him, the result will not be convincing. But once Sun Zhenren was dragged out, all the previous denials of Zhengyan were lies. Whether it is in front of His Majesty the Son of Heaven, or in the Prime Minister's Mansion, or in Luoyang, Hengqu, etc., what he said must be denied by himself. To put it bluntly, as for an old case over property? ”

Fang Xing said: "It doesn't have to be really opened, just to see how the two of them react." I'm really sure I want to, but I will be reluctant to agree. And the fake ones are absolutely unwilling to do it. ”

"Such an unfilial act, even if it is a true grandson, I am afraid that he will not be willing." You Alcohol shook his head in opposition.

Alarming the coffins of the ancestors so that the ancestors could not sleep in the ground is a great unfilial piety. In many cases, even if the elder was murdered, in order to comply with filial piety, the government would not allow an autopsy to prove the murderer's guilt. Instead, he went to the enemy for revenge in private.

Wei Pingzhen also smiled: "I think that those people who are going to open the coffin for autopsy and raise the sentence in the past also think the same." ”

Fang Xing immediately retorted: "How can Zhengyan be comparable to such a mediocre official? The identity is different, the legendary disciple of the Medicine King is enough to make people believe in the means of righteousness. In the past, He Khotan and He Yunwen refused to open the coffin, and it was useless to open the coffin. There is no evidence on the tombstones, and certainly not in the coffins. But now it's different, at least from the outside, Zhengyan will definitely be able to break this case. ”

Seeing that You Alcohol was unimpressed, Fang Xing asked, "Otherwise, what is the purpose of Zhengyan this time?" ”

"Maybe there really is something that can be done...... The truth of learning from things is the most profound, and perhaps it is only this matter that has also been created. Since the younger brother is shallow in intelligence and not proficient in learning, he can't think of it. ”

You Yu admitted that he didn't know very calmly, and he didn't get angry because of Fang Xing's attitude. It's just that he also wants to break his head and can't figure out what kind of medicine is being sold in Han Gang's gourd. Fasting for three days is a ritual before a great prostration and a great event. Han Gang was full of confidence, and he specially fasted for three days for this reason. From Han Gang to this set of actions, no matter how You Yu thinks about it, he will deviate from the identity of the disciple of the Medicine King.

"In order to conclude an ironclad case, the plaintiff and the defendant must be convinced, or the people of the whole county must think that the judgment is reasonable, otherwise there will be repetition. In the future, if it is not clear, there will definitely be people who will use this to attack Zhengyan. Wei Pingzhen said, spread out his hand, and shook his head very helplessly, "Zhengyan must have a way, and we can only watch." ”

Han Gang refused to say what he was going to do. They can only speculate here, and when the time comes, there may be a surprise or a fright waiting for them.

The outside world also has different opinions about the verdict after three days, especially when the news that Han Gang is going to fast for three days has come out, all kinds of speculations have flooded all at once. Of course, the identity of the disciple of the Medicine King will not be missing.

As for Han Gang himself, everything is as usual, fasting is indeed fasting, and he eats coarse tea and light rice without care, and eats cabbage and radish for three whole days. In the past three days, Han Gang did not delay his official work, and went back and forth to several townships to inspect the local disaster situation. And when he was invited to eat by his father in the township, he was repeatedly instructed to serve only the simplest vegetable rice, and did not want any wine and meat. Every day after returning to the government, he had to instruct people to boil water and bathe before going to sleep.

Han Gang's actions in the past three days have contributed to the rapid spread of another rumor in the county.

"It must be a blood confession. Otherwise, why should you go to the grave to try the case? Now it's time to open the coffin for an autopsy. ”

"He Shuangyuan has been dead for decades, and the bones can be used to beat the drum when they are turned out, where does the blood come from? What kind of pro do you recognize? ”

"You don't know what to do, do you? The county is a disciple of the medicine king Sun Zhenren, what means are there? I heard that with Sun Zhenren's medical skills, not to mention that there is no blood, even the bones and flesh are gone, and only one hair is needed, and it can still be detected whether it is biological. Although Han Xianzun is not Sun Zhenren, he has learned a little. ”

"I've also heard about this, it is said that only one bone is taken out and ground up, and then the blood of the descendants is dripped on, and what can be melted in is the real thing, and if it can't be melted, it is a fake!"

"Nonsense, last time my dog grabbed a bone, the blood from the bite still stained the bone. Is a dog a pig grandchild? ”

"There must still be spells. Otherwise, why would the county lord fast for three days? Isn't it just for the sake of casting spells? ”

"Destroying the bones of the ancestors is also due to the willingness of the two old rammers."

"What's not to want to. For the sake of two acres of land, you have to agree to come down anyway. How about my own grandfather? What about poking the backbone? How can there be a field?! ”

"The world is declining, and people's hearts are not ancient!" After the rumors were at their worst, Lao Cuo shook his head and sighed. Compared with the current reality, we can only think of the mythical era of honoring and keeping filial piety thousands of years ago.

……………………

The day has finally arrived when the trial is scheduled to begin.

Compared to the previous trial, after three days of deliberation, the number of people paying attention to the case has increased several times. It can be said that the men, women and children of the county, as well as passers-by passing by the white horse, have heard about this 30-year-old case. Coupled with some strange rumors, thousands of people flocked to see what was going on. Most of them went to Qingshuigou first to grab a good position, and the small half waited in front of the county office, ready to set off with Han Gang. The number of people on both sides was roughly counted, and when added up, almost all the people of Baima County had arrived.

But just when Han Gang was about to lead the crowd to the trial site, the plaintiff and the defendant in the case bowed at Han Gang's feet together, "County Zun, this lawsuit villain is not fighting." ”

"County respect, the student wants to withdraw the lawsuit."

Han Gang's footsteps stopped: "Don't fight?" Why is that? ”

He Yunwen kowtowed heavily, "If you want to destroy the remains of the ancestors, this lawsuit villain can only stop fighting." ”

"The villain is not filial, and he can't keep the land of his ancestors, so he is defiled by traitors." He Tian, who was kneeling on the ground, was heartbroken. "After fighting for thirty years, I just want to fight for the incense and blood food. But if it can be verified by destroying the remains, the villain can only withdraw the lawsuit today. ”

"Open coffin autopsy? I don't know where you heard it? Did the official say anything?! Han Gang's eyes suddenly sharpened. Although he is young, he can go through the wind and rain to sharpen his momentum, and he is in the position of the clouds, his eyebrows are only slightly wrinkled, and the majesty of his eyebrows and eyes like swords like swords is so great that the two of them are stammered.

He Yunwen barely struggled out of the sense of oppression, and asked tremblingly: "Really won't hurt the remains of the ancestors?" ”

Han Gang snorted coldly, ignoring He Yunwen's question at all, raising his voice and letting the voice spread to the surrounding people: "After these three days, this official knows the truth of this case. Today's trial in front of He Shuangyuan's tomb is just for the white horse father to be a witness! Right and wrong, black and white, in a blink of an eye, what are you afraid of?! ”

After saying that, he flicked his sleeve robe, no longer paid attention to He Khotan and He Yunwen, he turned over and got on the horse neatly, and pointed the horsewhip to the north of the city, "Go to Qingshuigou!" ”
