Wu Rumeng's words were almost said in a ridiculous tone, and after hearing this, the prefect Mo Sheng was so angry that he almost vomited blood.

At this time, Zhang Tian, who was standing beside Mo Sheng, spoke, "Lord Wu, it's not right for you to say this, above the court, you have the share of officials to try the case, how can you let the people come to try it, what kind of system is this?" You said that you didn't order people to beat Zhang Yong, but if you hadn't asked someone to take him outside the second gate, the people were in the pile, would he have let people beat him? You said you didn't see him beaten, but when he was brought up again to the church, he was seriously injured, don't you see? Why didn't he arrest his beaters and bring them to justice? Isn't that fair? ”

"Heh......" Wu Rumeng chuckled lightly and said, "Master Zhang, you also know that only officials can try cases in the public court?" You're just a criminal master, how many official residences are there? Have you questioned the county and questioned the county's qualifications? ”

"This ......" Zhang Tian was stuffed by Wu Rumeng's words, and he didn't know what to say, his old face was flushed, and he couldn't say a word. Don't look at him as just a criminal master, but his status in the government is quite high, as a Shaoxing master, he inherited the Shaoxing master's roots, not only can speak well, but also can often give advice. When Mo Sheng was the prefect of the county, Zhang Tian followed Mo Sheng and assisted him to become the prefect, so he was very valued by Mo Sheng. The weight of speaking in the government is also equivalent to one person.

"Wu Zhixian, you are right, Zhang Tian does not have the qualifications to question you, but this government does have this qualification. Now, this government also wants to ask the question he asked, Wu Zhixian. Tell me why! Mo Sheng immediately stood up for Zhang Tian.

"The lower officials are still the same sentence, why do the people want to use it? What is the reason for this? Good and decent, why should others beat him? Moreover, after Zhang Yong was brought to the court, he did not complain. Said someone hit him? In the public court, he didn't sue those who beat him, so how could the subordinate officials call him the shots and pursue the people who beat him? Speaking of this, Wu Rumeng looked at Zhang Yong, who was lying on the stretcher, and asked loudly: "Zhang Yong, this official is asking you now, outside the second gate of the lobby of Jianyang County." Have you been beaten, where have you been beaten? Who hit you? If someone really beats you, why don't you make it clear to the official? ”

Wu Rumeng can be said to be able to speak well, and he didn't pay attention to the question just now, but pointed the finger at Zhang Yong.

Zhang Yong listened to Wu Rumeng's question, and scolded in his heart, I was beaten like that at that time. You're not blind, and besides, you've given me a chance to sue.

At present, Wu Rumeng raised a series of questions, and Zhang Yong wanted to scold Wu Rumeng. said his "grievances", but he understood that if he really answered in a decent way, he would definitely be caught by others and say that he was not a fool. Dad told himself that he must admit that he is a fool and pretend to be stupid in the hall, so as not to cause an unmanageable situation.

So. Zhang Yong was helpless, and his mouth was hesitant. It was like crying out in pain, but no one could hear it. He muttered something in his mouth.

Zhang Tian glared at Wu Rumeng fiercely, then leaned closer to Mo Sheng's side, leaned into Mo Sheng's ear, and muttered a few words in a low voice. "My lord, this Wu Rumeng is really clever, let's not have to worry about him first, arguing with him about this, it will fall into his calculations. In my opinion, it is still according to the original plan, only saying that Xiao'er is a fool, and first exonerating him. ”

Mo Sheng nodded, and after Zhang Tian took two steps back, he said: "Wu Zhixian, the prisoner Zhang Yong is obviously a fool, if you ask him, where can he explain clearly." Now you have also seen that Zhang Yong is a fool, although he killed people, but when he was unconscious, he was excusable. This government is now re-examining, and everyone can see it clearly, for a fool, there is no longer any more accountability. On the side of this government, Zhang Yong was sentenced to three years in prison, and the old man Kong was compensated for the bitter master, 20 taels of silver. As for the original file, it will be invalidated, and the government will send it to the Inspectorate together with the results of today's court trial. ”

"Your Excellency. The lower officials had been tried the day before yesterday, and the criminal Zhang Yong personally admitted that he was not a fool, and the killing of the people's daughter was also very clear. Not only did he draw his confession with his own hands, but the people who listened to it in Jianyang County could all testify. How can it be said that it is invalid, and it is invalid? Wu Rumeng immediately stood up.

"Wu Zhixian, this government originally wanted to save you some face, since you say so now, then don't blame this government for discussing things with you."

Speaking of this, Mo Sheng knocked on the startled wood, stretched out his hand and pointed to the two boys kneeling at the bottom of the steps, and asked loudly: "Are you two guys from Yangjiang Restaurant in Jianyang County?" ”

"Xiaomin exactly." The two men kowtowed.

"This government is asking you now, have you ever seen Zhang Yong when he came into your restaurant to drink?" Mo Sheng asked.

"I saw it." The guy replied.

"When you saw him, what did he say, did he look like a fool?" Mo Sheng asked loudly.

"He speaks in a stumbling manner, and he can't hear clearly at all, but he knows that he is a fool when he looks like that." The guy replied immediately.

"Good! Come on, let them sign and draw the pledge. ”

The clerk's office brought the confession and asked the two guys to sign it. followed, Mo Sheng pointed to the person in Langzhong's clothes, and said loudly: "Yang Zhuming, you are the sitting Langzhong of Wensheng Hall in Chengdu Prefecture, according to Zhang Yong's family, I used to invite you to Zhang's house to see Zhang Yong, hoping that you can cure his stupid illness, but is there such a thing?" ”

"It is true. But Zhang Yong was stupid by nature, and Xiaomin was really powerless. Yang Langzhong replied.

"You are also a famous Langzhong in Chengdu Mansion, this mansion will ask you another question now, according to what you see, is Zhang Yong really stupid or fake stupid?" Mo Sheng asked.

"It's stupid." Yang Langzhong replied directly.

"Good! Let him sign it. ”

Mo Sheng was very simple, and asked three people to prove that Zhang Yong was a fool. After Yang Langzhong signed and drew the charge, he pointed to Chen Shi and Wang Shu, and asked loudly: "Chen Shi and Wang Shu, you two are also from the public gate, and this government is now asking you, Wu County ordered you to escort Zhang Yong outside the second gate, and asked the people to see if Zhang Yong was a fool." You two at the time. I saw Diao Min drag Zhang Yong into the crowd and beat him, right? ”

"That's true." Chen Shi and Wang Shu nodded and replied.

"Earlier, the two of you said that when Diao Min was beating Zhang Yong, he was stopped, why didn't you stop it loudly at that time. Second, why don't you go to the court to make your county decree clear, and let your family send a messenger to snatch Zhang Yong back and bring the Diao people who beat people to justice? Mo Sheng asked again.

"After Zhang Yong was arrested by the county government, after the adults learned that he was a fool, they were afraid that it would be difficult to convict him, so they privately found the two of us and instructed us to take Zhang Yong outside the second gate when the time came, if someone beat him. We don't have to make a fuss about it, we don't see it. I don't know what to do. But the adults told us so, and we didn't dare to disobey. Chen Shi and Wang Shu replied.

After getting the confessions of the two, Mo Sheng looked at Wu Rumeng and said loudly: "Wu Zhixian, can you hear their confessions." So far, what else do you have to say? Why did he instruct Diao Min to beat Zhang Yong? What's the plan? Did you take some kind of bribe to do this? ”

"Hahahaha......" Wu Rumeng couldn't help laughing out loud when she heard this, and said, "Adults are really good at laughing." Old man Kong is destitute, what kind of bribe to the lower officials. If you ask me what my plan is, there is only one answer from the lower officials, to avenge the people's daughter who was killed by Zhang Yong! The adults successively found someone to prove that Zhang Yong was a fool in the public court, but the lower officials wanted to know why Zhang Yong's words were clear when he confessed in the lobby of Jianyang County. Truthfully confessing the crime, this. The people of Jianyang County can testify! Also, Zhang Yong confessed in person. Seeing his intentions, he tricked Old Man Kong's daughter Kong Qiu'er into the private room, sent people away, and took the opportunity to defile her. Afterwards, Kong Qiu'er desperately grabbed and bitten, and Zhang Yongcai strangled the person to death in a fit of rage. After the person died, he went away, and when the county sent people to arrest him, he was instigated by his subordinates and taught him to pretend to be stupid and stunned, intending to evade the punishment of national law. The evidence in this case is conclusive, Master Mo, you won't be just because Zhang Yong is the son of Zhang Tian, the master of the house, you want to reverse black and white, overturn the case for Zhang Yong, and make the deceased unjust......"

Wu Rumeng said this, and wanted to continue to say that the governor of this case, Lord Yue, already knew that it was purely a pipe dream to overturn the case.

As a result, before the latter words could be spoken, the angry Mo Sheng knocked on the startled wood and shouted angrily: "Presumptuous! ”

Mo Sheng stretched out his hand and pointed at Wu Rumeng, gritted his teeth, and said fiercely: "Wu Rumeng, this is the court of this mansion, you dare to slander this mansion, do you know what crime you are committing?" ”

"Lord Mo!" Wu Rumeng did not show weakness, and said sharply: "Whether it is slander or not, adults know it in their hearts." I advise adults not to do more injustice, otherwise the heavens will be clear, and you will not escape retribution! When the black yarn is not guaranteed, don't blame the lower officials for not reminding the adults! ”

"Fart! Wu Rumeng, you are so bold! This case has been retried by the government to understand that Zhang Yong is indeed a fool, and the evidence is conclusive! As for why he confessed in court, it must have been because he was seriously injured and spoke nonsense, or you induced a confession in court, so that he confessed in confusion. If you don't make any mistakes, wronged good people, instigated others, and lynched people, this government will definitely find out about this matter, so that you will not be protected! If you admit it now, the government will still think that you are still honest and honest, and will not be held accountable, if you don't know what to do, what will happen to you, you can weigh it yourself! As the prefect, that is Wu Rumeng's top boss, and he was squeezed by the officials under him, how could Mo Sheng not be angry. When he speaks, he no longer leaves any sense of proportion, like a street hooligan, and he doesn't look like a scholar at all.

"The adults said that I was indiscriminate, so the lower officials went to find a place to reason and see who was indiscriminate! Excuse me! Wu Rumeng was even more polite, turned around and walked out of the hall.

"Where do you want to go?" Mo asked sharply.

"Go and find a place to reason! I heard that the governor Yue had come to Chengdu, so the lower officials went to pay a visit and asked Yue to uphold justice. The world often says that Lord Yue is the reincarnation of the sky, and we are a role model, so I will definitely investigate this case clearly and clearly! Wu Rumeng didn't look back and said loudly.

"I want to see Lord Yue, are you qualified enough? It's not a joke with you, yesterday I accompanied the governor to greet Lord Yue, who didn't even have time to eat, so I immediately went to the governor to discuss the matter of suppressing bandits. You, an official with a big sesame mung bean, when you get to the door, Lord Yue estimates that it is not uncommon to even see you. This case, compared with the big plan to suppress bandits, you should also understand! "To tell the truth, Mo Sheng is really afraid that Wu Rumeng will go to see Yue Su, once Yue Su really meets him, his head will be hot for a while, and if he cares about this matter, it is estimated that his black yarn will be gone. Although I was scared in my heart, I didn't show weakness at all. He dared to say this, naturally he also had some considerations, Wu Rumeng is such a big official, in the eyes of the Governor, it is not even a fart, the Governor, it is rare to see him. And the most important thing is that the rogues have all hit Mianzhu Pass, and Lord Yue estimates that he is anxious about this matter, how can he have the kung fu to take care of such small civil cases.

"Not necessarily!" Wu Rumeng snorted coldly, flicked his sleeves, no longer paid attention to Mo Sheng, and walked straight out.

Walking out of the lobby, Wu Rumeng continued to walk out, and the people watching in front of the second gate witnessed everything in the hall with their own eyes, the big guy is not a fool, right and wrong are all in the hearts of the people. Moreover, there are also people who have heard of Zhang Yong, and they know that he is a normal person, and it is not a good thing. When everyone saw Wu Rumeng, they came over, and hurriedly consciously got out of the way, and some of them simply walked out.

Just like this, I suddenly heard someone outside shouting, "The governor's order is here, let the Chengdu Mansion come out to receive the order!" ”

As soon as they heard this shout, everyone was stunned, and there were also the officers who guarded the door outside the government and the people standing on the outermost side could see that there was a man in civilian clothes riding on a horse, with more than 20 soldiers behind him, holding an arrow, and shouting loudly. The man holding the order is none other than Tong Xuan.

It turned out that Tong Zhou and Jin Chan went to the second gate to listen to the trial, and soon understood the meaning, knowing that the Chengdu prefect wanted to overturn the case for Zhang Yong. So, Jin Chan stayed here and continued to hear the trial, and Tong Zhou returned to Xingyuan to report the news. Lord Yue actually didn't have much effort, and wanted to conclude the trial quickly so that he could rush to Mianzhu Pass, so he immediately sent someone over. He also calculated that Wu Rumeng's little arms would definitely not be able to twist his thighs.

The official guarding the door of the government walked up to Tong Zhou and asked, "What are you doing?" ”

", are you deaf, the governor has come to give an order, order the arrow to be here, and tell your lord to come out quickly to receive the order!" Tong Xuan shouted loudly.

In these years, a big temper and confidence are also a symbol of strength. Wu Rumeng heard that it was the governor Yamen who came and asked the prefect to receive the order, and he also wanted to see what was going on, so he didn't continue to go forward.

When the messenger entered the hall and told him about the order of the governor, Mo Sheng hurriedly stood up and went outside to receive the order. As he walked, he was nervous in his heart, and he really didn't understand what Lord Yue was giving him an order at this juncture, it wouldn't be for this case.

The messenger drove the people out of the yamen first, and no one dared to take Wu Rumeng, after all, they were wearing official uniforms. When Mo Sheng passed by Wu Rumeng's side, he also glanced at Wu Rumeng triumphantly, which seemed to mean that he didn't see it, only a big official like Lao Tzu was qualified to talk to the governor.
