Knowing the reason for the matter, Lotte was helpless, and his sister-in-law's idea was also a little bit back, although this case was reasonable and responsible, but as the direct boss of Huo County, how could he be willing to be willing to take revenge in the future.

"I have been on an errand in the public gate for many years, and how can these doorways in the yamen not be clear! Right now, I'm evil to the county lieutenant Huo, don't want the county lieutenant Huo to rectify me, these errand boys will make me stumble in order to please the county lieutenant, rather than being framed by these villains, it's better to go away from home as soon as possible! Li Dutou let out a long sigh, and said, "You go back and clean up, and go to the county government with me tomorrow to stay away from Pingyu!" ”

Lotte asked, "Is there any room for reversal in Yao Si's murder?" ”

During the conversation, Lotte learned that the bitter master who was killed by Yao Si with a stick was close to the Lu family, who had injured Lu Sanlang and tried to blackmail his land a few days ago, so he didn't have a good feeling. Although the Lu family is not a wealthy family in Pingyu, the family is prosperous, and the villain is like a snake.

"The Lu family sued the official, Yao Si confessed, it is a sure thing, and it will inevitably end up being beheaded by the Autumn Queen!" Li Dutou was helpless.

After being silent for a moment, Lotte said: "I just heard my brother-in-law say that the lawsuit of the Lu family is written that Yao Si killed Lu Erlang with a stick?" ”

"Not bad!" Li Dutou nodded.

Glancing at his sister-in-law, Lotte said: "According to the confession that my sister-in-law said, there may not be no room for maneuver in this case!" ”

"What did you say?" From Lotte's words, Li Dutou found a trace of life, like a drowning man struggling to grab a life-saving straw, and his eyes immediately lit up: "Is this true?" ”

Leaving away from home is just a helpless move, how can Li Dutou give up the benefits of being an errand in the yamen.

His eyes narrowed slightly for a moment, and Lotte nodded and said, "The little brother has his own way, and I also ask my brother-in-law to take the little brother to the county lieutenant!" ”

At that moment, Uncle Lang and the two immediately rushed to the Huo County Lieutenant's house, but they were empty, and they were told by their subordinates that the county lieutenant had gone elsewhere. Lotte speculated that at this time, County Lieutenant Huo would definitely run for Yao Si's case, nothing more than to find the county lord or go to the master bookkeeper.

"Lord Huo, don't you know the laws of the Great Song Dynasty, my lord's brother-in-law kills people, and the county magistrate and I are not able to do it even if we are biased!"

When he came to the front of the Yan master's house, Lotte heard the voice coming from the house, and heard another person: "My brother-in-law lost his hand and injured someone's life, and if he escaped, he would have fled. This person's voice was full of anger, and then he begged softly: "Huo is a rough man who only knows how to dance with guns and sticks, and the master is proficient in the law of literature and ink, and he will definitely be able to find a hole in the criminal system and save my brother-in-law!" ”

Although Lotte has just entered the public gate, he knows a few masters in the ya, and when he hears this voice, he knows that it is the second master of the ya, Yan Zhu, and the third master, Huo County. This Yan master book is more than forty, and Huo County Lieutenant is only in his early thirties.

Then I only heard the Yan master in the house say again: "Lord Huo, please see, this is your brother-in-law's confession in the county hall yesterday, and the confession is clearly written, admitting that he killed the Lu clan with a stick!" Then he said: "Lord Huo look again, this is a lawsuit handed over by today's bitter master, and the lawsuit clearly says that his son Lu Erlang was killed by the murderer Yao Si with a stick, and tomorrow Lord Xianzun will start the trial of this case, and the official is really powerless!" ”

Hearing the conversation between the two officials, Li Du's forehead was covered with cold sweat, and Lotte deliberately took heavier steps and stepped forward to knock on the door of the main bookkeeper.

The door opened, and Master Yan glanced out, and saw that it was Lotte and Li Dutou.

Seeing Lotte and Li Dutou in front of the door, the two officials and masters glanced at each other, Master Yan did not move, and the county lieutenant Huo behind him opened his mouth and scolded angrily: "You deserve to be killed, you dare to eavesdrop on the master's deliberations here?" ”

"I've seen two adults!" In the face of the scolding of the county lieutenant Huo, Lotte bowed and said in a deep voice: "Two masters, the villain is here for this matter, if you believe in the villain, you might as well take the paper in your hand and look at the villain, the villain may not be in danger of protecting the county lieutenant's brother-in-law!" ”

"Humph!" Huo County's parallax was like dung, and he was even more annoyed in his heart, and scolded Lotte: "Get out!" If you dare to leak what the official is discussing tonight, the official will take your life! ”

Hearing the county lieutenant scolding and getting angry, Li Du, who was usually quite majestic, was silent, and his body trembled involuntarily.

Seeing his brother-in-law like this, Lotte secretly pouted, a little person is a little person, and when he sees an official, he is naturally shorter. However, being scolded bloody, it was expected by Lotte, for the sake of the future of himself and his brother-in-law, he can only pestle here at the moment.

"Wait!" Yan Zhushu, who was born in a literati, was not as reckless as Huo County's lieutenant, stretched out his hand to stop Huo County's lieutenant, looked at Li Dutou, who was almost trembling with fright, and looked at Lotte again, with a look of interest in his eyes: "This official wants to see what means your little errand will have to make this conclusive death case have room to turn things around!" ”

"Thank you, Master Bookkeeper!" Lotte took his sister-in-law Li Dutou into the party and then closed the door, and stepped into the main topic: "If the two masters believe in the villain, please take the confession and lawsuit to the villain!" ”

Huo County's eyes were full of disdain, and Master Yan was suspicious, but he still handed the confession and lawsuit to Lotte. Lotte unfolded the two lawsuits, compared them word by word, and after half a loud comparison, a pair of brows stretched: "Although the defendant has confessed to the confession, he can retract his confession, it is only necessary to say that he is afraid that he is as bad as a tiger and wolf, and his body is weak and he can't stand the torture and is tortured into a trick." Then changed the confession to that he was provoked and abused by the Lu family at the time of the incident, and in a hurry he got out of his hand with a stick, but unexpectedly fell on the head of the plaintiff, causing him to die! ”

"It's easy!" Huo Xianwei snorted coldly again: "It's simple for the defendant to retract his confession, but what if the plaintiff bites to death because the defendant deliberately hurt someone?" What kind of case has Lord Yan and this official never seen, how can you be a cheap person who can talk about it? ”

With a smile, Lotte dipped his pen in ink and filled in the paper of the Lu family.

"You bold, you dare to smear paper!" Seeing Lotte's move, Lieutenant Huo was furious.

Li Dutou on the side seemed to have been struck by lightning, but he didn't expect Lotte to make such a move.

This scene made Master Yan also stunned, he didn't expect a poor man to dare to smear the paper-like paper in front of him, he took two steps forward and fell his gaze on the paper, his eyes narrowed slightly for a moment, and suddenly flashed with excitement: "So wonderful!" ”

"Lord Yan, what did you say?" Seeing Master Yan's expression, County Lieutenant Huo stopped scolding, and his expression was full of puzzlement.

"The difference between one word is a thousand miles!" Master Yan stroked his beard with his hand: "This stroke is really wonderful, although it cannot exempt the defendant from criminal responsibility, but at least it can save one of Yao Si's lives!" ”

Lieutenant Huo became more and more confused.

Lotte smiled lightly: "These are the only ways that the villain can come up with, and the rest depends on the means of the county lieutenant!" ”

Hearing Master Yan say this, Li Dutou, who was a person involved in the matter, was like soy sauce at the moment, although he was confused, he was not as nervous as Fang Cai.

Seeing Master Yan nodding, Lotte's face remained unchanged, but he smiled secretly in his heart, this trick was learned by himself when he read miscellaneous books in his previous life, and it was used by the master in later generations, and he just borrowed it for himself.

Seeing that Master Yan understood the reason, Lotte stepped forward and whispered a few words before retiring with his sister-in-law, as for how Captain Huo and Master Yan handled specific matters, they didn't have to worry about it.

Pingyu County can only be regarded as a county in the middle and upper ranks, and it is relatively peaceful under its rule, but there are only some small cases of stealing chickens and dogs, fights and brawls, and now there is a lawsuit for human life, and the court has not yet opened, and the three layers outside the county government are surrounded by people watching the excitement.

Early in the morning, the Lu family, who was the bitter master, carried the body of the deceased Lu Er to the county office early, and the lawyer invited by the Lu family first asked the Lu family to cry loudly and cry loudly, and first snatched people to win the sympathy of the neighbors.

Syllable!

The officials stood solemnly with water and fire sticks in their hands, and the startling wood sounded in the hall, and the county lord went to the hall without being angry and arrogant: "Summons the bitter lord to bring people to the hall!" ”

"Sir, you have to be the master of the small people!"

The bitter lord had not come to the hall, and the sound of crying and grabbing the ground came from the hall, and then the bitter lord came to the hall with the lawyer, and kowtowed again and again.

A moment later, with the sound of shackles, Yao Si, who was covered with wounds on his body and was in chains, was sent to the hall, fell to the ground with a thud, and opened his mouth to cry: "Parents, master, the villain is wronged!" ”

The tone of the crying of the prisoner Yao Si seemed to be a little more tragic than the bitter master who had died of his relatives, which immediately made many onlookers curious.

Just when Yao Siyi was shouting wrongs and the people were talking, Li Dutou came up to the hall and said to the magistrate: "My lord, my subordinates have something to report!" ”

The magistrate raised his eyebrows: "What's the matter, say it quickly, this official still has to judge the case!" ”

"Lord Yu, the day before yesterday, his subordinates went to the countryside on a business trip, this Yao Si saw his subordinates hurrying to get land, and he said that he had accidentally injured his neighbors and surrendered himself, and begged his subordinates to tie him up to the county government office, and his subordinates were busy with official affairs that day, so he escorted his subordinates to the county office!" Having said this, Li Du's head fluttered on the ground, and he said with a worried face: "Who knows that the soap officials under his command are arrogant, but they will punish this Yao Si heavily!" ”

Obviously, Li Dutou's words were all guided by Lotte.

Hearing this, the county magistrate's eyes widened, and he snorted heavily: "You lazy yasman, why didn't you report this matter earlier, it almost affected the judgment of the official!" Then he reprimanded: "If this official hadn't read that you were diligent in your daily work and a first-time offender, he would have fired you and beaten you out, and I would have fined you three months' salary today as an example!" ”

"Thank you, Master for your kindness!" Li Dutou got up and gave another salute before retreating.

Li Dutou's words made the bitter lord Lu family and the lawyer feel bad immediately, and they naturally knew the weight of Fang Cai's scene in their hearts, but they found that they had no choice but to look at Li Dutou angrily and there was no other way.
