Liu San cried with snot and tears, and the old man lay on the ground, screaming from time to time. And the scholar Li Mubai didn't know what to do, but just said that he hoped that the master would be clear. The onlookers pointed their fingers, meaning nothing more than that it was too miserable, and they all guessed that this scholar must have lost money this time.

The master of the torture room stepped forward and wanted to look at the old man's injuries, but as soon as he touched the old man, the old man seemed to be beaten, and kept howling. The main county lieutenant Bo was also very embarrassed. The officials separated the crowd and gathered the plaintiff and the defendant in the center.

Zhu Dachang and Zhu Zhixian are in a difficult situation now. In front of everyone's eyes, the crowd is surging, and if it is not handled well, I am afraid that my reputation will be ruined. It is not long after the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, and many officials are still honest, even if they are not honest, they still attach great importance to reputation.

Zhu Dachang attaches great importance to his reputation, but now this case is really unmanageable. After thinking about it, he asked, "Liu San, you said that your father's injury was a collision in this afterlife, can anyone testify to it?" ”

Liu San hurriedly said: "Yes, there are passers-by at the entrance of the front street, who were stopped by me and made personal witnesses!" He was there to see it with his own eyes! ”

Zhu Dachang let the official in, but saw a woman in her thirties, sighed, and said, "Master, the old man didn't want to be this unlucky witness." It's just that this old man is really miserable. At that time, the old man was about to cross the street, but he was knocked to the ground and could not stand up at that time. He also shouted that his leg was broken. Fortunately, this Liu San arrived in time and didn't let the murderer escape! ”

Li Mubai hurriedly argued: "Master, you have a good understanding." At that time, the villain was walking, and he was not walking fast. Who knew that the old man rushed out of the oblique stab and pounced on the latter life, but the latter couldn't dodge and was knocked down. But the old man fell to the ground and wailed! This Liu San, I don't know where he came out, and he will lose money if he pulls the posterity. Otherwise, come to see the official! ”

Speaking of this, and was about to continue, Liu San shouted angrily: "That thief, I hit my father, and I still want to deny it!" Now that everyone has the evidence, they still have to deny it! ”

Li Mubai hurriedly shouted: "Wronged, master." This Liu San was going to claim twenty taels of silver at that time, where could he afford it? The villain begged bitterly, and only took out five taels of silver, but Liu San refused, so he brought him to see the official and asked the master to see! ”

Now the two sides are holding their own opinions, and the crowd is on Liu San's side, the old man's injuries are true, and there are witnesses. Zhu Dachang also thought in his heart that it was the scholar who knocked down someone, and shouted: "The bold scholar still doesn't admit it when he knocks down someone, and he intends to quibble." The people are all the witnesses, and they are not recruited from the truth! ”

The scholar was busy crying out for wrongdoing, and Zhu Dachang slapped his hand, just about to intimidate at the beginning. The master Bo stepped forward and muttered a few words in Zhu Dachang's ear.

After listening to this, Zhu Dachang asked in a low voice, "What?" That's what the Wind Lady said! ”

The master nodded, and Zhu Dachang turned his head, but saw Feng Manlou smiling at him. He said, "Don't be troubled! There is something in this county, wait a while and come back! After speaking, he turned around and walked into the threshold and came to the front of Feng Manlou.

Feng Manlou hurriedly invited Zhu Zhixian to the corner of the wall and said, "Master Zhu, according to the students, this Liu San is suspected of fraud!" ”

Zhu Dachang was shocked and asked, "Why do you say this?" ”

Feng Manlou said it carefully, Zhu Dachang listened to it, looked at a few people carefully, Feng Manlou said very reasonably, Zou frowned, and said: "This county also thinks so, but I can't think of a way for a while, so I delay!" Lord Wind seems to have a way! ”

Feng Manlou said: "Why don't you test it? ”

Zhu Dachang asked, "How to tempt?" ”

Feng Manlou said his thoughts. Zhu Dachang praised in a row: "Wonderful, wonderful!" ”

Zhu Dachang came to the gate and continued: "Now that the county has pronounced the verdict, the evidence of this case is complete, and the facts are clear and undoubted..." ”

But it was Feng Manlou who led a horse from his stable and ran towards the door. Feng Manlou was riding on a horse, but he saw that the horse was uncontrollable no matter what, but it came straight to the gate.

Zhu Zhixian and the officials hurriedly avoided it, and the sycophants quickly rushed to the door, and the crowd immediately dispersed. Feng Manlou just shouted: "Get out of the way, get out of the way!" The horse is frightened, the horse is shocked! ”

Seeing that they had rushed out of the door, the officials hurriedly dodged, and the old man lying on the ground didn't have time to help, and he was about to step on the old man in a few steps. Who knows, the old man got up suddenly, and soon there was more to pass! Feng Manlou hurriedly pulled the reins, laughed and said, "Lord Zhu really has a good plan to let the thief show his original form!" ”

But it turned out that there was a frightened horse, and it was clearly Feng Manlou who deliberately shouted that it was a frightened horse, just to test whether this old man was really injured!

Zhu Dachang heard Feng Manlou say this, and immediately became very excited, this Feng Manlou is young, knows how to respect others, and is not in the limelight, and now he will wear a high hat on his head, he is very acquainted, it seems that this person will be sincere and benevolent in the future, and he will have a good relationship with him, maybe he will be able to use it in the future.

Thinking of this, Zhu Dachang hurriedly led a group of officials forward and surrounded Liu San, the old man and the woman's witness. Liu San still wanted to escape, but Zhu Dachang shouted: "Take it!" ”

The officials pressed Liu San to the ground, and the old man was also pressed to the ground.

Zhu Dachang stroked his beard and said loudly: "The big guy saw with his own eyes, where is this old man injured, it is clearly a good person!" Liu San and the old man are all in a gang, this is a crime of fraud! ”

Liu San quibbled: "Master, Xu was my father who was so frightened just now that he fled desperately. This is too many to do! ”

As soon as Liu San's words fell, the old man looked pained again, and he lay on the ground with his legs in his arms, which was even more painful than just now.

Zhu Dachang said with a smile: "Don't deceive this county, it seems that you people are all making a living by such fraud!" In fact, this old man is not your father at all. Think about it, how can a father be so seriously injured, but his son sits and ignores it, only cares about the claim? Doubt 1. ”

"The father was lying on the ground, in pain, but as a son, he only cared about the claim, only cared about the lawsuit, ignored the father, didn't even care about the color of the color, and was not busy asking Lang Zhong for treatment. Doubt 2. ”

The old man was lying on the ground, badly wounded, and wailing, though miserable. However, it is intermittent, just ask, how can there be a person with a broken leg, but the pain is intermittent? Moreover, under such pain, there is no painful look, and it is too reluctant. Doubt three! ”

"From this, it can be seen that this old man is not your Liu San's father at all, and he is not injured at all, you are doing this to defraud the scholar of his money!" Zhu Dachang came to a conclusion.

Liu San hurriedly shouted that he was wronged! But what Zhu Dachang said was reasonable, everyone already believed a little, and with the quick movements of the old man just now, everyone also divided good and evil in their hearts.

Zhu Dachang said with a smile: "Whether you are wronged or not, the old man will find out when he goes to your place!" Seeing that Liu San couldn't deny it, he had to confess the fact that he had partnered with the old man to defraud.

Of course, after this case, Zhu Dachang quickly became a household name in Zhushan County. The story of Zhu Zhixian's discerning judgment soon spread to the streets and alleys.

It turns out that as early as the Great Song Dynasty, there was such a fraud case, and it seems that the Chinese people really have a long tradition, but they are just making continuous progress in later generations. If it were in the future life, today's scholar would definitely lose the lawsuit, because the technology of fraud is very mature, and the performance is more realistic. Whether to help or not has become a problem in later generations, and many people do not help!

At this time, Feng Manlou was preparing at home to go to Yuhang County to take office.
