Dong Zuchang's mansion is only separated by a small river from Dong Qichang's mansion, Dong Qichang heard that Diao Min was making trouble around the house, so he went to Dong Zuchang's house from the back door, and listened to Dong Zuchang say what happened yesterday, Dong Qichang hated the people who preached "calligraphy and painting are difficult to speak to the heart", so he didn't think that his son was acting excessively, only blamed Fan Chang for his weak body and died of heat stroke, and now he came to blackmail him Dong family, saying: "Fan Chang didn't die here, and he didn't have the scars of being beaten, this is not a big deal, it's nothing more than a loss of money, Let a house slave suffer dozens of rods—"

Dong Zuchang didn't even want to compensate for the money, and said: "Father, don't show weakness to those Diao people, who saw that it was my Dong family who arrested him Fan Chang?" They are completely guessing, slander! He added: "Father, I know that Zhang Yuan's kid is also here, this matter must have been instigated by him, and that article must be Zhang Yuan's conspiracy." ”

While he was talking, Huang Guoding and several subordinate officials knocked on the door, Dong Qichang thought that Diao Min had been dispersed, but unexpectedly Huang Guoding was going to arrest his son Dong Zuchang to go to the mansion, he was shocked, angry and angry, and he couldn't speak for a while - Dong Zuchang was even more furious, shouting: "You want to arrest me and go to the mansion, don't think about it!" Don't! ”

Huang Guoding hurriedly explained: "Teacher, don't be angry, this is just an expedient measure, otherwise you can't let those people around the house disperse, Brother Zu Changshi will never be fine, and the students can guarantee it." ”

Dong Qichang relieved himself and said: "Huang Fuzun, if Xiao'er is taken out of the house and goes to the government like this, how can Dong's face remain!" ”

Huang Guoding was very embarrassed and said: "It's not just the Fan family's daughters who are crying, but also a large number of people and students, the three grandsons of Shanyin Zhang Suzhi are here, they are preparing to come, and there is a violent death of Fan Chang, and the students are also very embarrassed. ”

Dong Qichang said: "Those Diao people poured dirty water on my Dong family, do you believe it, Fan Sheng's death insists on blaming Xiao'er, is there still a law of heaven and reason?" ”

Huang Guoding said in his heart: "Mr. Dong, what should I do if you push it all away, those people outside are surrounding the house, if I let it go, who will be responsible for making bigger things later." He said, "Teacher, how about having the students bring two servants from your mansion to deal with it?" ”

Dong Qichang closed his eyes, listened to the noise outside the gate, and said for a while: "Okay, just take two people with you-Zu Chang, choose two tough ones to let Huang Fuzun take them." ”

Although Dong Zuchang was angry and unwilling, he had to find someone to apologize, and asked those domestic slaves who were willing to volunteer, but no one answered, Dong Zuchang said angrily: "Are they all a bunch of waste, whoever goes, a reward of one hundred taels of silver." ”

These house slaves are relying on the power of the Dong family, and they are quite rich, who would be willing to be beaten for a hundred taels of silver, and maybe they will be exiled to the army, wouldn't it be miserable, so none of them were willing to come forward, but Wu Long's Wang Dazhui said loudly: "Second son Dong, the villain is willing to go, you give the silver to the villain." ”

Wang Da Hammer has thick skin and rough meat, he used to earn money by taking the board on behalf of others, a little martial arts, but his mind is relatively dull, and then he heard that there are a hundred taels of silver to earn, so he patted his chest out.

Dong Zu often saw Wang Da Hammer willing to go to the top, and said happily: "Okay, Wang Da Hammer is righteous." He immediately ordered someone to give Wang Da Hammer ten ingots and ten taels of silver, and Wang Da Hammer gave the silver to a beating bachelor, and asked the bachelor to send the silver to his old mother.

Dong Zu couldn't find anyone else for a while, so he said to Huang Guoding: "Lord Fuzun, just have one to deal with, right?" ”

Huang Guoding nodded, and after Dong Zuchang and Wu Long told Wang Dazhui, he said goodbye to Dong Qichang and asked the official to escort Wang Dazhui out.

The black oppressive people outside the door saw that this was Dong Zuchang, and they all made a fuss, Huang Guoding said loudly: "Dong Zuchang is a member of the meritorious service, before reporting to mention the Tao to get rid of his fame, how to ask about the crime, and the cause is unknown, only ask this Dong family slave first." He also said to Zhang Yuan and others: "You and other beings are all well-read and reasonable people, don't incite the people to make trouble, Fan Sheng's death, the government will give him justice, and the rest of the irrelevant people, quickly retreat, each in their own business, otherwise they will touch the criminal law, and they will be heavily responsible." ”

Zhang Cao said angrily: "Lord Fuzun is very polite to the murderer Dong family, but he is fierce and vicious to my friends and spectators, what is the reason!" ”

Zhang Dai said: "It is rumored that Dong Zuchang's fame was taken on behalf of others, and this kind of scum is a shame for my generation." ”

Huang Guoding said sharply: "This government is handling the case, can you dictate it!" ”

Zhang Yuan pulled Zhang Cao, signaled not to fall out with Huang Guoding, and said to Huang Guoding: "Huang Fuzun presides over justice, which is the luck of the people of Songjiang. ”

Huang Guoding said: "Is it judged here, what kind of system is this, and where is the majesty of the court and the government." ”

Zhang Yuan said: "The majesty of the imperial court lies in the combination of leniency and fierceness, punishing evil and promoting good, and the lord of the palace is here to avenge the grievances of the people, it is the time to promote the majesty of the court law and educate the people. ”

Zhang Cao shouted: "Everyone went to the government office to listen to the trial of the case and see how Huang Fuzun judged the case impartially." ”

The crowd of black oppression shouted "Judge the case impartially, judge the case impartially", and the sound was overwhelming.

Huang Guoding saw that it was not easy to get out of the case without trying the case today, and it was even worse to let these people flock to the government office, so he had to say: "In this case, this official will try the case on the spot." Let the official find an official hat chair to sit in the shade of the tree, Wang Da Hammer knelt down and replied - Zhang Yuan heard the onlookers shouting: "This is Wang Da Hammer who fights, this is not the Dong family." ”

Huang Guoding patted the case and shouted: "This government is trying the case, and there must be no noise. ”

Zhang Yuan and Weng Yuansheng whispered a few words, Weng Yuansheng nodded again and again, and took Laifu and the other two servants to squeeze out of the crowd, Zhang Yuan continued to listen to the trial here, and listened to this Wang Da Hammer confessed: "The villain met Fan Xiucai yesterday in the Xiangxian Temple, Fan Xiucai heard the villain say that there were a few new Linqing sisters on Puliu Street, so he asked the villain to take him to see, the road was hot, and Fan Xiucai suddenly fell to the ground before he reached Puliu Street, the villain was very afraid, and wanted to leave Fan Xiucai and didn't care, so he hired a carriage to return to Fan Xiucai's Xiangxian Temple, Because he was afraid of being implicated, he didn't dare to send Fan Xiucai back to the house, and he was left in front of the Xiangxian Temple. ”

Fan's mother Feng scolded angrily: "My son is a prudent person, and he will never remember the prostitute, but now that my son is dead, you still want to accuse him, and the old woman beats you to death as a lying thief." "Beat him with a cane.

The sledgehammer held his head in both hands, and let Fan's mother beat him, where did Fan's mother hurt him.

Huang Guoding knew that Wang Dazhui was very durable, and he had the intention to let the people see that he was not following his personal feelings, and said: "Old Mrs. Fan, don't be angry, let this government try him." shouted: "Wang Da Hammer, this mansion heard that your words were not true, so I just gave Fan Sheng a physical examination, Fan Sheng has injuries to his eyes and nose, didn't you beat him?" ”

Wang Da Hammer said: "That's why Fan Xiucai fell and injured himself, don't do the villain's business." ”

Huang Guoding said: "That's not a fall, but a beating, you are a bachelor, you don't want to recruit if you don't punish you, come here, forty rods." ”

Wang Dazhui scolded in his heart: "You dog official is so ruthless, Lao Tzu can't beat like this, as soon as he comes, he will have a cane of forty, and Lao Tzu's ass will bloom." ”

The two servants came over and pressed down Wang Da Hammer, and hit Wang Da Hammer on the back buttocks with water and fire sticks, and the sticks and flesh hit each other, the sound was loud, and they hit twenty times, the trousers were broken, and the buttocks were bloody, and after forty rods, the flesh and blood were blurred.

Huang Guoding shouted: "Wang Dazhui, from the truth, who instigated you to deceive Fan Xiucai where did you go, so that Fan Xiucai was injured and suffered from heat stroke?" ”

Wang Da Hammer twisted his buttocks slightly, knowing that the servants were merciful, these forty rods seemed to be loud, but in fact they were only epidermal injuries, and immediately insisted that "what the villain said is true, Fuzun is to kill the villain, and the villain is also like these words." ”

Huang Guoding sneered: "Don't you dare to kill you with a cane when this mansion, if you don't recruit again, you will be killed with a cane." ”

Wang Dazhui shouted: "The villain is wronged, the villain has not said half a lie, the villain is wronged." ”

Huang Guoding shouted: "If you dare to scream, you will be able to do it for another twenty." ”

The water and fire sticks rose and fell, and they "snapped" again, mixed with the screams of Wang Da Hammer, which was a bit of an atmosphere of torture to extract confessions.

Zhang Dai said in a low voice: "Jiezi, the Dong family has arranged such a top tank that is not afraid of death, this is difficult to do." ”

Zhang Yuan sneered and said: "This cane is very particular about responsibility, if you beat it like this, three hundred canes can't kill him, but if you really want to beat it, sixty canes can kill people." ”

Zhang Cao had also heard about the yamen messenger beating people and receiving money and beating them lightly, and said angrily: "This executioner got Dong's money!" Just waiting for the attack, Zhang Yuan stopped and said, "Third brother, don't worry, wait a while." ”

After the twenty canes, Wang Dazhui seemed to be dying, but it was Fan Xiu who was killed and suffered from heat stroke on the way to Puliu Street with him, and it had nothing to do with the Dong family - Huang Guoding looked very helpless, and said to Fan's mother Feng: "Old lady Fan, this bachelor can't open his mouth, and if he continues to fight, he will really be killed, it is better to take him back to the mansion first, and then interrogate him carefully, what does the old lady think?" ”

After all, Fan's mother Feng is a woman's family, and she doesn't know how to persist in this situation, so she turned her head to look at Zhang Yuan, wanting Zhang Yuan to help her with an idea - Zhang Yuan stepped forward and said: "Qiqi Fuzun, someone is coming, please wait a while." ”

Huang Guoding frowned slightly, I don't know what kind of witness this Zhang Yuan has, Zhang Yuan is difficult to deal with.

About half a tea time later, someone shouted, "Come, come, let one, let one." The crowd parted ways, and two servants carried an old woman on a bamboo bed, this old woman had a radish flower (i.e., cataract) in her left eye, and only her right eye could see, and she patted the bamboo bed and shouted: "Sledgehammer, sledgehammer, what sin have you done, why did you take the blame for others and kill Fan Xianggong, this is a capital crime, do you know?" ”
