Feng Manlou ignored these people, and just said to himself: "I invite all my colleagues to come over today, just to tell you that we will start the trial of cases one by one!" ”

Because it is a matter involving officials, the trial of the case is not in the lobby, but the difference between the second hall and the lobby is that it leaves a little face for the convicts, and of course, the scale is certainly not as huge as the lobby promotion. But some miscellaneous officials, the catchers are still indispensable, although the number of people wants to be a little less,

This is also what Feng Manlou expected, now these officials, the catchers, are all Liu Dutou's cronies, and they are almost these people, Feng Manlou can better command and control the overall situation, in order to make the case less variable.

"Take the jailer Zhang Xing!" Feng Manlou shouted. Zhang Xing was the jailer who went to Qi Fangzhai that night to buy food.

Soon, Zhang Xing was brought up, although he was a jailer, but because he was involved in the case, he was now temporarily suspended, but he was not tortured, nor was he shackled and handcuffed, but his movement was restricted.

Zhang Xing looked at this formation and knew that it was not so easy to pass today!

Without the official shouting, Zhang Xing knelt down very consciously and shouted: "Villain Zhang Xing, knock on the Qingtian master!" ”

Feng Manlou didn't care what he called himself, he just broke off and said, "Zhang Xing, on the night of the incident, when did you leave the cell and when did you go to buy food, and you didn't come from the truth!" ”

Zhang Xing hurriedly said: "Back to my lord, the villain was ordered by Liu Dutou to buy food and eat with people. When I left the cell, there was still half an hour left, and it was the third watch! ”

Half an hour is an hour, and a quarter of an hour is about fifteen minutes of the time used in the Hereafter, and an hour is eight quarters of an hour.

Feng Manlou asked Liu Jinbao, and Liu Jinbao also confirmed it! The secretary who recorded it next to him recorded all this. But I heard Feng Manlou continue to ask: "Then did you go by car or walk?" ”

Zhang Xing hurriedly replied: "Go back to the adult, when the villain goes, he walks there, and when he comes back, he takes a carriage!" ”

Feng Manlou's face sank and asked, "How can you walk when you go and take the carriage when you come back?" The county asks you, how long does it take for you to travel from the county government to Qifangzhai? ”

Zhang Xing replied: "About a quarter of an hour!" ”

"How long is the carriage ride?" Feng Manlou seemed to have grabbed Zhang Xing's sore feet, and he had the momentum to pull him off the horse.

Zhang Xing hurriedly said: "Less than half an hour? ”

Feng Manlou continued to ask: "Less than half an hour?" Why did you take the carriage back to the county office? ”

Zhang Xing replied: "The villain dares to time!" This time, without waiting for Feng Manlou to ask, he hurriedly said: "The villain was delayed because he was drinking in Qi Fangzhai, so he dared to take the time and came back in a carriage!" ”

These contents were already asked when Liu Dutou and Sun Hu asked for confessions, and the original manuscript was still stored in Dian, of course, Feng Manlou had already read it, and the purpose of today was to confirm whether this Zhang Xing was lying. However, Feng Manlou absolutely believes that he is not lying!

At this time, Hu Weishan seemed to have something to do with him, and hurriedly said: "My lord, this is a drink on duty, and according to the rules, a fine is imposed, why is it so exciting?" Could it be that the adults suspect that Zhang Xing is drugged? ”

Feng Manlou ignored him, and just said: "This county has its own county's reason!" But I thought in my heart, this Hu Weishan, can't hold his breath so soon?

Wei Zhongshu took the opportunity to give Hu Weishan a look, and Hu Weishan closed his mouth and stopped talking.

But he heard Feng Manlou continue to ask Zhang Xingdao: "Who are you drinking with, and how much wine have you drunk?" ”

"Back to the adults, the small one drank a little more than a quarter of an hour, and drank a whole jar, about two catties! Because I still have to be on duty, I am in a hurry to come back! "At this time, the alcohol is not high, about 20 degrees, but it is just as intoxicating.

It is said that when Du Kang invented wine, he needed the blood of three people as an introduction, so he began to wait. At first, a scholar passed by, and the scholar generously took a drop of blood. After a while, another general passed by, and the general generously took a drop of blood. However, after waiting for a long time, no one passed by, and seeing that the wine was about to be baked, it happened that Du Kang found a beggar lying on the ground, and in a hurry, he took a drop of the beggar's blood.

As a result, there are three kinds of surnames. When I first started drinking, everyone was still sven, and this was the drop of the scholar's blood at work. When the time came, the behavior was uncontrollable and began to profligate, and this was the general's blood at work. In the end, he fell drunk and fell down, and it was the beggar's blood that was at work.

Of course, Zhang Xing hadn't waited until that time, otherwise he wouldn't have known that he would be in a hurry to return to the county government to be on duty. Feng Manlou continued to ask, "Who will prove it to you?" ”

Zhang Xing hurriedly said: "Yes, yes!" is Qi Fangzhai's little two, called Wang San! ”

Feng Manlou had already prepared, and immediately ordered Wang San to go to the court!

The two officials took Wang San to the hall, and the wind was full of buildings, and Wang San was so frightened that he fell to his knees all of a sudden.

But I heard Feng Manlou ask: "The one who kneels in the hall, but Qi Fangzhai is the second and third kings?" ”

When Wang San saw this battle, he was startled at that time, and hurriedly said: "Villain Wang San, knock on the big master!" ”

Feng Manlou asked, "Wang San, tell me what you saw that day, as it is!" ”

Wang San knew that at this time, it was not the time to fool around, and besides, he had already confessed, and now he was just repeating what he had confessed. At the same time as Wang San confessed, the priest handed over the recorded confession of Zhang Xing to the officials, who took Zhang Xing to the side and drew the charge.

"At that time, the restaurant had just opened, and there were not many customers, so the little one remembered it very clearly! At that time, I saw Lord Wei, Lord Xiao, as well as Lord Hu and Lord Qian, as well as the two masters, going to the restaurant and wine together! Wang San said.

Feng Manlou confirmed to them, and Wei Zhongshu also knew that this could not be hidden from people at all, so he nodded, Hu Weishan also admitted it, and Qian Weilun smiled embarrassedly.

Feng Manlou asked, "Go on!" ”

At this time, I saw Hu Weishan shouting: "If you have something to say, let's talk about the point, what did you see Zhang Xing do?" ”

Feng Manlou knew that Hu Weishan wanted to divert the topic, and hurriedly said: "Don't be afraid, keep talking!" After speaking, the startled wood slapped hard, and Wang San was taken aback.

Hu Weishan only felt that this shocking voice was like a loud slap in the face, which was extremely hot!

"The villain remembered very clearly at the time, but in less than two quarters of an hour, Master Hu left!" Wang San continued.

Feng Manlou pointed at Hu Weishan and said, "But this Lord Hu? ”

That Wang San hurriedly said: "It's him, Lord Hu, the county lieutenant Hu!" ”

Wang San had already been instructed, and hurriedly said: "The villain did see it at that time, that is, Master Hu left!" ”

Feng Manlou then asked, "When did Master Hu go back?" How long did it take in between? ”

Wang San hurriedly said: "When Lord Hu came back, the villain didn't see it, but when the villain was picking up food in the kitchen, he saw Lord Hu!" There was a small interval of half an hour! ”

Feng Manlou turned his head to look at Hu Weishan and asked, "Lord Hu, what Wang San said, but is it true?" ”

Hu Weishan knew that he couldn't hide it, and when he returned to the yamen, there must have been jailers and officials who saw it, and there were also Liu Dutou's people here, so he had to say: "Xia Guan did leave, but he didn't enter the kitchen!" ”

Wang San said: "Yes, Master Hu has entered the kitchen!" And he also took our chef's knives! At that time, the villain almost shouted, but it was our chef Zhang Wenhua who pulled me back! ”

Feng Manlou asked, "You mean to say that chef Zhang Wenhua also saw it?" ”

Wang San nodded, and Feng Manlou asked him to continue!

Wang San said: "The little one was also very curious at the time, so dignified, why did Master Hu go to the kitchen to get a knife." At that time, the knife was about a foot long, and Master Hu put it in his arms, which was also convenient to hide! The villain was curious and decided to observe secretly! ”

These words, Hu Weishan's heart trembled, it turned out that his whereabouts were seen by others. Feng Manlou must have known that he had committed murder, Hu Weishan was sure! Now that Feng Manlou already knows that Xiao Zhang was murdered, he will definitely investigate! Hu Weishan felt a sweat in his head!

Hu Weishan nodded to Wei Zhongshu as if asking for help, Wei Zhongshu smiled slightly, Hu Weishan seemed to understand something!

"The villain saw that Master Hu put some medicine in a wine jar, and then took the wine jar away!" Wang San continued.

Feng Manlou stopped in time and asked, "You are just wishful thinking, how did you see it?" ”

Wang San hurriedly said: "The villain has evidence!" At that time, Master Hu put medicine into the wine jar and threw the medicine paper on the ground, and the villain picked it up! ”

Feng Manlou hurriedly asked Wang San to hand it over, Liu Dutou looked at it and said, "My lord, this kind of medicinal paper is a special medicinal paper for the Rejuvenation Hall!" ”

Feng Manlou said with a smile: "It's okay, listen to Wang San's words, and let him take the medicinal powder contaminated with this medicine paper for testing to see if it is poisonous!" In addition, please ask the doctor of the Rejuvenation Hall to testify! ”

Huichun Hall is very close to the county government, and usually the business in the county government is taken care of, which is also the way that Hu Weishan thought of in a hurry, after all, the time was urgent, and he didn't have time to think about it!

Feng Manlou said with a smile: "Wang San, what you said has nothing to do with this case!" But the charge has also been recorded, will you be willing to draw the charge later? ”

Where did Wang San dare to deny it, since he confessed, of course he couldn't help but admit it, and nodded hurriedly!

Feng Manlou motioned for Wang San to continue, and Wang San hurriedly said: "At that time, the villain saw Master Hu hand over the drugged wine jar to a person. Then he went upstairs and went back to his feast! ”

Feng Manlou said with a smile: "Why don't you say anything about the jailer Zhang Xing?" ”

Wang San hurriedly said: "When Zhang Xing arrived at Qi Fangzhai, the banquet of several adults had already dispersed. The villain saw the person who took Master Hu's wine jar, and after observing and chatting with Zhang Xingzhang, it seems that they are indeed familiar with each other! There was still about a quarter of an hour before Zhang Xing left, when a jar of wine was drunk. However, the villain noticed that the person secretly changed the wine that Zhang Guanzhi had bought! "Observe the people's names for the yamen, the yamen, the jailers, and others.

Feng Manlou hurriedly asked, "But the jar of wine that Zhang Xing is going to take away?" ”

Wang San hurriedly said: "That's it!" ”

"My lord, he's lying!" Hu Weishan shouted, wishing to wash away his suspicion immediately!
