Zhao Ziliang took the guard Xiao Qin to follow behind Bai Zhanpeng and other young boys and girls, and soon came to the gate of the West City Bureau, at this time the gate of the West City Office was already full of people, these are all people who are hanging out and playing in the West Market, these people saw that someone was escorted into the West City Office, of course, they all came to see the excitement. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Zhao Ziliang grabbed a middle-aged rich man who looked like a member and asked, "This benevolent brother is invited, what happened inside?" Why did so many people come to watch? ”

The rich man was obviously well-informed, and he bowed his hand and said: "Brother asked about this, I know, I just followed over to see the excitement, the incident happened in Wang Dagui's paper shop outside the city, this Wang Dagui has a paper factory outside the city, invited hundreds of men to work, he also has a shop in the West City that specializes in selling paper made by his own paper mill, Wang Dagui's paper mill makes paper better than the Central Plains rice paper in terms of quality, in fact, their family moved from Xuancheng, In the past, their family has been doing this business, and after moving to Xiqin, they are still engaged in this business, and their paper mill is the largest and the best quality paper produced in Xiqin! The man who was arrested in the office just now is a big cannibal, what is called Abdullah, it is said that he is a guy of Wang Dagui's paper mill, this Abdullah has been in their paper mill for more than two years, today Wang Dagui is checking the accounts in the paper shop in the West City, it just so happens that Abdullah sent the paper made by the paper mill to the store to sell, when carrying the paper, a roll of sheepskin fell from Abdullah's arms, which was densely written with the detailed process of the paper production process, Wang Dagui is also an old man, When he was young, he also followed the caravan to the country of Da Shi and Flynn country, and knew some big food characters, and he saw that the sheepskin actually wrote in detail the detailed process of making paper in his own paper mill, which is still necessary? So he asked two guys to arrest Abdullah on the spot, and he was all the way to this office, saying that he wanted to sue Abdullah for stealing their family's papermaking process! ”

"I see!" Zhao Ziliang nodded after hearing this, and asked again: "I don't know how to sentence such a crime?" ”

The middle-aged rich man shook his head and said: "It's hard to say, how to judge it, it is estimated that it depends on the attitude of the chief judge. If the presiding judge only convicts a simple crime of theft, the punishment is not heavy, at most a few months, and some silver will be released, but if the presiding judge wants to deal with it heavily, he can also start from the value of the stolen things, if he only steals a few silver coins, of course, there is no big problem, but this time the theft is papermaking technology, which is very unusual, everyone knows that the value of papermaking technology is very expensive, Wang Dagui's family is now rich, all of which are the credit of this papermaking technology! ”

Zhao Ziliang listened thoughtfully.

At this time, the official in the office appeared at the door and said to the bitter lord Wang Dagui, the defendant Abdullah and the crowd of onlookers: "This is the West City Bureau, but it is only responsible for the daily operation of the West Market, not responsible for public security and criminal cases, if it is a public security and criminal case, please go to the county office, in view of the fact that the defendant was caught on the spot, the official can send a few officials to escort the defendant to the county office, and the rest of the matter will not be taken care of by the official here, everything will be handled by the county government, everyone will disperse!" ”

The crowd of onlookers thought that there was a lively scene to see, but they did not expect that the case would have to be tried at the county office, and after several soldiers escorted Abdullah to the direction of the county office, some people followed behind to the county office.

Zhao Ziliang also followed, he wanted to see how the Henglus County Government would hear this case, and the guard Xiao Qin caught up and said: "Master, this thief was arrested on the spot, and there is no need to try it if he is sent to the county office, the county order will definitely be judged directly, there is nothing to see!" ”

Zhao Ziliang said: "This is maybe! If what is stolen is only a little bit of money, it will be forgotten, but what is stolen is papermaking technology, which brings more than one million yuan of tax revenue to our Xiqin every year, how can it be compared with ordinary theft? ”

The development of the matter seems to be somewhat unexpected, after the county government received the drum and shouted the grievance, the county ordered Liu Rong to quickly accept the case, after all, it was only a theft case, and the thief was caught red-handed, this case does not seem to need to be tried at all, but ・・・・・・

"Ascension—"

Liu Rong sat upright under the mirror in his official robe, and patted the shock: "Bring the prisoner and the plaintiff!" ”

Immediately, a servant shouted: "Bring people and the plaintiff!" ”

The officials shouted: "Might-"

Wang Dagui and Abdullah were brought to the court, and under the questioning of the county magistrate Liu Rong, Wang Dagui and Abdullah successively revealed their lives and identities.

Liu Rong frowned after hearing this, and asked, "Defendant, this official seems to be a big cannibal when he sees your appearance?" ”

Abdullah, who was kneeling on the ground, replied: "Yes, my lord! ”

"Then are you the Great Cannibal of my Western Qin, or the Great Cannibal of the Great Food Country?"

Of course, Liu Rong's question is not an extra move, it is not for nothing that there are people of the Great Cannibal who live in the territory of Western Qin and have become the people of Western Qin, although there are not many of them, but there are thousands of them.

"If you go back to the adult, the villain is a big cannibal in the big food country, and he lost money in business in Xiqin a few years ago, and he didn't have the money to go home, so he stayed in Xiqin!"

Liu Rong is not afraid that his verdict will cause any diplomatic disputes, but after all, cases involving foreigners should be cautious, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble to himself.

Liu Rong asked Wang Dagui again: "Plaintiff, what are you suing him?" ”

Wang Dagui saluted and said: "My lord, this Abdullah lived on the street two years ago, and the villain saw that he was pitiful, so he took him in, gave him food and clothes to wear, and arranged for him to go to my paper mill to work, but I didn't expect this person to have a bad heart and wanted to steal my family's papermaking process, which was just now he pulled from the paper mill or came to the store, and fell from him when he was carrying goods, which recorded the details of my family's papermaking technology, and the villain now understands that he had already started the idea of my family's papermaking technology before he entered my paper mill. He deliberately pretended to be pitiful to win the sympathy of the villain, which was premeditated! Please call the shots for the adults! ”

Liu Rong didn't look at the content of the papermaking technique on the sheepskin, after all, this is a technical secret, regardless of the fact that this thing is now a evidence, it was made on the desk, Liu Rong asked: "Wang Yuanwai, you said that the thing fell from Abdullah's body, did you see it with your own eyes?" ”

Wang Dagui replied, "Yes, my lord! ”

"Is there a witness?"

"Of course there is, in addition to the villain, there were four guys, a shopkeeper and three customers in the store at that time, and they can all testify!"

Liu Rong immediately said: "Come on, send these witnesses to testify!" ”

"Yes, sir!" One of the catchers said yes loudly and immediately went out to call witnesses.

Several of Wang Dagui's men and shopkeepers soon arrived, and they all testified that the exhibits had fallen from Abdullah's body, but the three customers who were present to buy the paper did not show up.

Liu Rong asked Abdullah: "Defendant, do you plead guilty?" ”

Abdullah's eyes rolled and he said, "My lord, I don't confess!" This thing didn't fall off me at all! ”

Liu Rong pointed to Wang Dagui, the display cabinet of the paper shop and the four guys and said: "But they all testified that they fell from you, if only one person testified against you, then this witness may not see clearly, if there are only two people who testify, then they have to wronged you, but so many people are pointing out that the evidence fell from you, if you don't admit it again, you are deliberately denying it, if you admit it generously, the official can also consider a light sentence, but if you blindly play the scoundrel and refuse to admit it, Then the official is going to punish you! ”

Abdullah immediately said: "My lord, you are unfair, I am not convinced!" You bullied me as a big cannibal, and you partnered to bully me, a foreigner, I don't accept it! ”

Liu Rong's face darkened when he heard this, and he shouted in shock: "Bold! The official has always been fair, but you say that the official is unfair? The judge asks you, what is the injustice of the officer's dealings? If you can't say why, don't blame the official for punishing you! ”

Abdullah pointed to the shopkeeper and the four men and said, "He and the four of them are all noble people, they do things for him, take the wages he gives, serve the jobs he gives, and of course speak for him, and they are all in a group!" How can the testimony of these people be believed? ”

The onlookers outside also nodded after hearing this, and some people discussed: "Yes, these people are either Wang Dagui's shopkeeper or his associates, although these people can testify, their testimony cannot be a key factor in the verdict of this case, unless the other three guests can be found to testify!" ”

Liu Rong listened to Abdullah's words, and when he thought about it, he felt that he couldn't all listen to the testimony of these people, which was biased, so he said: "The defendant's words are not unreasonable, so let's do it, this case will be adjourned for the time being, and the other three guests will be retried at a later date!" Someone, take the defendant into the detention room for custody, and leave the court! ”

"Mighty—" shouted in unison.

After Abdullah was escorted away, the crowd of onlookers began to disperse, and some people were still discussing: "If you can't find the three guests who were present at the time, I'm afraid that this case will not be tried and you will be acquitted in the end!" ”

Someone said, "It's hard to say this kind of thing!" Maybe it was really Wang Dagui who framed the big cannibal with the shopkeeper and his men? ”

"Impossible, right? Wang Dagui is a celebrity and a rich man in Henglus, I haven't heard that this person has any bad deeds before, I only heard that he has been doing good deeds, and every year he donates money and materials to his fellow villagers who have just migrated from the Central Plains, this is a great good man, he won't do this kind of thing, right? ”

"Who knows if he's on the surface and behind the scenes? It's not that there are no such people! ”
