Chapter 10: There is a discovery in Elm Village

The three people who suddenly appeared stunned all the people except Zhang Zhong, especially the county prince and the lord Bo, the two looked at the situation in front of them and looked at each other.

Zhang Haozi was also stupid, he knew what was going on with this corpse, he dug it up from another grave and dragged it here, could it really be that someone came to recognize him? Then wasn't he directly exposed, dared to lie about the case, and let the son of the county magistrate pass out on the way, and he hasn't woken up until now.

The prefectural order that adults are not allowed to skin themselves? What to do? What can I do now?

The more Zhang Haozi thought about it, the more frightened he became, he stopped crying, and turned his head to look at Xiao Xiancheng.

Xiao Xiancheng was also nervous at this time, afraid that one of the three people was really a relative of the deceased, would Zhang Hezi recruit himself? When Zhang Zhong sent it with a fold, he was finished, and he also looked at Zhang Haozi.

The eyes of the two people were paired, and they saw the panic in each other's eyes, and Xiao Xiancheng looked at him and shook his head, which meant to tell Zhang Haozi that he couldn't recruit him no matter what.

Zhang Haozi's mouth opened slightly, looked at the corpses on the ground, and then looked at the three people who were crying over there, raised his head to look at the county magistrate who was sneering at him, and piled it up there with a plop.

Pestle began to do things at this time, went over to look at the corpse, inspected it from place to place, stood up, and did not look at the county and the lord, he knew that his usual money was probably given by these two people, or one of them, so he only said to Zhang Zhong:

"My lord, the little one has been checked, and the wound on the deceased's body was cut after a few days of death, and there was no thick blood flowing out at all, it was all some blood in the body, and the wounds on the clothes on the body were cut with the same knife, and there was a gap in the knife.

Since Zhang Haozi said that it was besieged by several people, it could not be that there was only one knife, except for the knife wound, there were no other scars, and the small one was finished. ”

Zhang Zhong listened to the words of the pestle, and did not make a sound, nodded, and looked at Zhang Haozi, just staring, staring without blinking.

Zhang Haozi showed a frightened look in his eyes, looked at the county order, and then looked at the county cheng, and couldn't say a word.

"Zhang Haozi, you are so bold, you dare to lie about the case, I think you don't want to live anymore." The county man couldn't help it at this time, glared at the pestle fiercely, and rushed over at Zhang Haozi again, and went up with a kick, kicking and shouting.

"Xiao Xiancheng, what do you mean? Before the official said anything, you can act on behalf of the official? Zhang Zhong watched from the side, and did not stop him, but just said something.

Xiao Xiancheng deliberately kicked Zhang Hezi with his back to Zhang Zhong, blinking vigorously while beating back, Zhang Hezi blocked back and forth with both hands, suddenly stopped, grabbed Xiao Xiancheng's feet, and made a hard effort, Xiao Xiancheng was turned over.

Zhang Haozi crawled to the ground in front of Zhang Zhong and said to Zhang Zhong: "My lord, the county order, the little one is guilty, the little one deliberately went to the yamen to report to the official, and deceived the adult, but the little one has no choice, the little one used to have some small crimes, and he should have been locked up, but the little one was released after sending some money."

My lord, Xiao Xiancheng found the little one two days ago, and let the little one do it, otherwise he said that he was going to continue to lock up the little one, and the little one couldn't help it, my lord, you are gracious, and the little one is guilty. ”

Zhang Haozi was out of the way this time, even if he took down the crime himself, he didn't believe that Xiao Xiancheng would help him, and reported that I can't get better, don't think about it, and tell the matter.

"Nonsense." Zhang Zhong, the county Cheng and the lord Bo shouted at the same time, the county Cheng and the lord Bo shouted that there was still a relationship, but Zhang Zhong also shouted the same, so that the two of them didn't know what to say.

Zhang Zhong sent a reassuring look to Xiao Xiancheng, and then said to Zhang Haozi: "Diao Min, you not only lied to me to come here, but also dared to frame Xiao Xiancheng, where is the servant?" ”

"Yes." A few officials came running from there.

"Come on, tie up this piece of marijuana, and go back to punish the crime." Zhang Zhong shouted, and several officials took out ropes from their bodies and began to tie them.

Zhang Haozi was naturally unwilling to be tied up, and while struggling, he talked about how Xiao Xiancheng arranged it, which made Xiao Xiancheng frightened over there, but fortunately, when he looked at Zhang Zhong, Zhang Zhong always had that calm and breezy expression, as if he didn't believe what Zhang Haozi said.

Zhang Zhong obviously knows what's going on, if he wants to bring in Xiao Xiancheng, it's very simple, as long as he sends Zhang Hezi to the capital together, there is naturally a way to ask if it's true or false, but he can't do that now, he has to use the two people of the main Bo and the county Cheng.

Zhang Haozi struggled a little, but he still didn't twist a few servants, and finally he was tied up and stuffed with something in his mouth, which made Xiao Xiancheng a lot more stable.

"Lord Zhang, now that you know that Zhang Haozi is lying, shouldn't you go back?" Xiao Xiancheng didn't want to stay here for a moment, and it was important to go back and lock up Zhang Haozi as soon as possible.

Zhang Zhong didn't want to go back now, Tian Gouzi from Yushu Village hadn't come over yet, he had to know why the county magistrate and the lord Bo wanted to get him over there, what was there?

After hearing Xiao Xiancheng's words, he said: "Don't be busy, there are still three people here to identify the body, let them recognize it carefully, and then say, the three of you come over to see, are they your relatives?" ”

The three people were originally here to help, and the miscellaneous people behind Jin Lailou heard the words of the master of the main family, and understood that they were trying to delay time, and the woman came to the front first, looked carefully, and walked slowly around the corpse, but did not speak, until he felt that it was almost over, and then shook his head.

"My lord, this is not my father, the little girl is wrong, so I'll go back, my lord, the little girl won't be arrested too, right?"

"Naturally not, you didn't go to report to the official, you just came over to have a look, then go down, the next one." How could Zhang Zhong cure the sins of his own people and greet the old man over there.

The old man also came over to take a look, and then looked at the way he came, and saw a figure running towards this side, and said to Zhang Zhong: "It's not my cousin, my lord, I'm going back too." ”

The rest of the kid was even more simply, "I just saw that my father is not like this, maybe he has already gone home, and I am gone." ”

At this time, the person who ran towards here also came closer, this young man was long and strong, more than six feet tall, according to Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan, he was a big man of more than 1.8 meters.

The man ran to the place, looked at a few people around, and asked, "Who is the county magistrate, I am here." ”

"You're the dog?" Zhang Zhong felt happy when he saw this young man, this young man's name is not very good, but he is thoughtful, and he is simple.

"My lord, I am, I didn't kill anyone, I've been staying at home, the house over there is going to collapse again, I have to repair it." Tian Gouzi said honestly there.

"I know that you didn't kill anyone, someone framed him, this person's name is Zhang Haozi, he said that you brought someone here to kill people, do you have a grudge against him?" Zhang Zhong pointed at Zhang Haozi and asked Tian Gouzi.

Tian Gouzi looked at Zhang Haozi carefully and shook his head, "I don't know him, how can I have a grudge?" Why did he frame me? ”

At this time, the stuff in Zhang Haozi's mouth was also taken out, he gasped hard, and immediately said: "It's not me, I didn't frame you, it's Xiao Xiancheng, he asked me to say so, Tian Gouzi, if you want to find it, go to Xiao Xiancheng." ”

As soon as Tian Gouzi heard this, his eyes fell on Xiao Xiancheng's body, and Xiao Xiancheng took two steps back, and then said: "I didn't say, it's not me, it's him, it's Zhang Hezi, I didn't go to collect taxes from you, it's exempt, it's already exempt." ”

Zhang Zhong watched from the side, and already understood some things, it may be that the original Wenxian Ling and others went to Yushu Village to collect more taxes, but they didn't give it, and they didn't seem to dare to come here, so they wanted to get themselves over, and when the time came, they could not only catch Tian Gouzi, but also mention the matter of tax collection.

At that time, the people they can't deal with will be handed over to themselves, and it doesn't matter if they can deal with it or not, they don't want to do anything else.

Zhang Zhong wanted to know about the affairs of Yushu Village, but he wouldn't ask now, and said to Tian Gouzi: "This matter will be verified by the official when he goes back, you go back with the official now, and the official has something to ask you." ”

"My lord, you didn't wronged me, you are a good official, I'll go with you." Tian Gouzi glared at the two of them again, and then walked down behind Zhang Zhong.

Zhang Zhong deliberately yawned again, so that the lord Bo and the county Cheng saw it, felt a little better, and prepared to continue tossing and not let Zhang Zhong rest well.

Zhang Zhong took Tian Gouzi to the side of the car, thinking that there was still a son who was pretending to be sick inside, and said to Tian Gouzi: "My son fell when he came, and you will sit next to me when you go in for a while." ”

After saying this, he opened the car door, and Zhang Xiaobao was already lying there, his head resting on Wang Juan's lap, motionless.

Tian Gouzi glanced at Zhang Xiaobao and sat next to Zhang Zhong honestly, fortunately this carriage was high enough, otherwise he wouldn't be able to sit down.

"Tian Gouzi, how are the days in Elm Village?" Zhang Zhong wanted to know about the situation over there, so he started asking from here.

Tian Gouzi shook his head, "My lord, it's not good at all, as long as it rains, there will be black water rushing to the ground, and there is not much food growing in the field. ”

He didn't understand the rules either, so he lifted his feet as he spoke, and sure enough, there were some black things stuck on it, but Wang Juan looked at some things and said, "Coal? It turns out that there is coal here. ”
