Bao Zheng suppressed his anger at the moment: "Chen Shimei, are you killing people or fighting?" ”

Chen Yuan was stunned by this, what does Bao Zheng mean by this? Is it right to kill people or fight, and to pass on witnesses?

looked at Bao Zheng, but Zhan Zhao, who was standing behind Bao Zheng, gave Chen Yuan a color and snorted at Zhang Yuan. Chen Yuan suddenly understood, Bao Zheng let himself engage this kid, this is no problem, anyway, now he is in the ranks of death row prisoners, that is, as the saying goes, one foot is in the coffin! As long as you are happy, I will whoever you ask me to do today!

So Chen Yuan immediately said: "Master Huibao, the criminals say that they are peaceful and never do anything that violates the law and discipline, but they drink too much and just want to drive out the party members who make trouble, but they don't want to let me control the matter in the end......"

Zhang Yuan turned around and glared at Chen Yuan angrily: "You are talking nonsense!" Is it out of your control? So who set the fire in the end? ”

Chen Yuan waited for a while, and saw that Bao Zheng stopped talking on it, knowing that Bao Zheng was letting himself have the audacity to debate with this kid.

Chen Yuan stood up suddenly: "You weren't there at the time, how do you know that I let you set the fire?" ”

Zhang Yuan's experience in this area is far worse than Chen Yuan's, and he can't see through the trap at all: "So many people heard that it was you who shouted to burn the king of the party at that time, can this matter still be denied?" ”

Chen Yuan then asked, "How do you know what I'm asking?" ”

Zhang Yuan said casually: "The king of the party told me personally! Our messengers have heard it! ”

"Oh!" Chen Yuan made an expression of sudden realization: "It turned out that I heard about it." ”

He said the two words in a strong tone, and the meaning of them naturally did not need to be explained.

Zhang Yuan's face changed, and he was about to say that he should ask Bao Zheng to summon witnesses to prove that Chen Yuan had said that sentence, but Chen Yuan turned around and knelt down to Bao Zheng: "Lord Bao, of course you have to hear what you heard clearly." The party envoy only heard me say that he would burn their king, but their king first said that he would peel me off, but he never said anything! If it is taken out of context, it is obviously framing the criminals! ”

Zhang Yuan was speechless for a while, what Chen Yuan said was indeed the truth, at that time, Li Yuanhao really said that he was going to pick Chen Yuan's skin! It's just that Li Yuanhao is just talking, but Chen Shimei is really holding a torch and burning it! He busily sorted out his thoughts and prepared to make a confession.

Bao Zheng smiled slightly in his heart, and sighed that Chen Shimei was really clever, and after saying a few words, Zhang Yuan had completely forgotten whether the topic of the debate just now was whether Chen Yuan was drunk and fighting, or deliberately murdering.

Taking advantage of the fact that everyone didn't react, Bao Zheng patted the shocked wood: "Chen Shimei! If you dare to stand up without the permission of the government, beware of the killing rod of the government! Also, please respect some of the rules of the yamen. ”

Zhang Yuan looked at Chen Yuan, said no more, hugged his fists and said to Bao Zheng: "Please summon witnesses and explain the situation to everyone in the hall at that time!" ”

When Bao Zheng heard this Zhang Yuan, he probably didn't expect Chen Shimei to behave like this, and actually followed Chen Yuan's path down, then Bao Zheng didn't care, if you want to pass it on, just pass it on!

The first to come up were several party envoys, their statements were very unified, obviously they had all been carefully scrutinized, and all the blame was put on the Crescent Moon Villa, the matter was provoked by the villa, the fight was the first to be started by the villa, and the people of the villa were the first to kill. In short, they are all innocent.

This testimony Bao Zheng already has it, but now it is a hall, and I want to tell it to all the people who are listening, including Renzong behind the screen.

There were eight party members who came to testify, all of whom were survivors of the fight that night. These people hate Chen Yuan to the core, and Chen Yuan's confession to these people is only three words: "Don't explain." ”

He knew that his case was actually a matter of how Bao Zheng was sentenced, and if Bao Zheng thought that he deserved to die, it would be useless for these people he said to be speechless. Now, Bao Zheng seems to have given himself a chance, but Chen Yuan doesn't know how to behave to satisfy Bao Zheng.

What exactly does Yan Chasan's gesture mean?

Then Bao Zheng sent the people of Crescent Moon Villa to the court. In addition to those guys and girls, there were also Tie Anli and Sutu who were arrested, and others were also escorted up.

What Chen Yuan didn't expect was that these boys were very interesting, especially Tie Anli and Su Tu, not only did they not say Hu Yanping, but they also took care of their own affairs, they fought and killed people, and they had nothing to do with Chen Yuan.

Chen Yuan was very moved, but Tie Anli didn't understand that this time the matter was big, and they couldn't bear it.

Witnesses are constantly summoned, the rhythm is in Bao Zheng's grasp, and after an hour of summoning, Zhang Yuan has clearly seen that Bao Zheng deliberately wants to help Chen Shimei! Because he found almost everyone who saw the situation at the time, including those who had nothing to do with the two gangs.

Eight party members are too thin compared to the huge group of relatives and friends behind Chen Shimei, if Bao Zheng is asked to pass all the people and tell the things at that time over and over again according to these people's statements, it is equivalent to telling the auditors over and over again that Chen Shimei should not die.

Can't let them talk about it anymore! Therefore, after Sister Li had just finished telling what had happened, Zhang Yuan decided to use a fatal killer against Chen Shimei: "Lord Bao!" In fact, even if we don't sue Chen Shimei, according to the law of the Great Song Dynasty, he is also the one who should be killed! ”

Bao Zheng was stunned for a moment: "What does the envoy mean by this?" ”

The corners of Zhang Yuan's mouth showed a smug smile: "I don't know what crime you committed by owning a private soldier according to the law of the Great Song Dynasty?" ”

When Bao Zheng heard this, his heart sank down violently, Chen Shimei has her own arms, and those Jurchen family members are indisputable facts! Bao Zheng knows this.

The Great Song Dynasty stipulated that private individuals could have a certain size of armed forces, but they had to be approved! When Chen Yuan established the Crescent Moon Villa, he had already submitted an application to Kaifeng Prefecture, but due to the complicated procedures, it had not yet been approved.

And Chen Yuan will also get it first, where are Pang Ji and Lu Yijian, and the formalities are only a matter of time. The size of the guards of Crescent Moon Villa is less than a hundred, which is completely in line with the rules, and Bao Zheng also knows this. But now Zhang Yuan is talking about this issue, after all, he can't argue, and Renzong is behind him, these formalities are a small problem for the people below, but when he hears Renzong's ears, it will be Chen Shimei, who has established a private army without approval, which is very fatal!

Chen Yuan looked at Bao Zheng's expression, and knew that this issue had to be defended by himself: "Master Bao! My guards are now only protecting the safety of the lodge, and they are completely different from private soldiers. ”

Zhang Yuan sneered: "Two different things? The swords are all picked up, if it is the same thing, wouldn't it be necessary to take the bow and crossbow? ”

Chen Yuan's head was also spinning rapidly, and he immediately said: "Those swords were only deposited with me by the blacksmith shop in the south of the city, and the blacksmith of the blacksmith shop can testify!" ”

He dared to lie now, because Bao Zheng hadn't checked this question, and those who caught fast only knew that the weapons were from the blacksmith shop in the south of the city, and as for whether they were bought or deposited by others, no one really wanted to ask.

After Chen Yuan said, he shook his head slightly, and Wang Lun, who was listening, smashed Li Tiegun with his arm, and Li Tiegun suddenly realized and quietly retreated. And on Chen Yuan's side, Amuda also flashed out of the crowd immediately after hearing this.

Amuda is innocent, he took care of the barbecue shop in the city on the night of the fight, so he is now completely free to move.

Zhang Long at the door also turned a blind eye to the departure of these two people.

Bao Zheng hesitated for a moment before saying, "Come on, go and bring the blacksmith to the court." ”

Zhan Zhao immediately received the order, and after a long time in the hall, Bao Zheng took this opportunity to order all the prisoners to be detained, and continue to open the court after resting for a while.

Walking into the back hall, Bao Zheng first took a look at Renzong's face, Renzong's face was very calm, with a slight satisfied smile, which made Bao Zheng feel a lot more relieved.

"Bao Aiqing, is it so cumbersome every time you go to the court?" Renzong was obviously a little anxious by the endless interrogation.

Bao Zheng replied: "Long live Qiyu, look at the number of people involved in the case like that." Chen Shimei's case involves a wide range of people, and both sides have their own opinions on the details, although Wei Chen still knows it in his heart, but to expose the lie, it must be a long and cumbersome process. ”

Renzong nodded: "Well, that's right. There's something strange about me hearing about it now. That Zhang Yuan was obviously determined to kill Chen Shimei, and the fight was not good, and he moved out of the private army. By the way, Bao Aiqing, does Chen Shimei really have a private soldier? ”

Bao Zheng put down a stone in his heart, Renzong just said "The matter of fighting is not good and moving out of the private soldiers", obviously thinking that Chen Yuan was just a drunken fight, as long as Renzong sees it this way, it means that he wants Chen Yuan to live! The problem now is that Chen Shimei must explain the matter of private soldiers.

"Long live, Chen Shimei's villa has less than 100 guards, but he also plans to organize these guards into private soldiers. Weichen knows this, and Lu Xiangguo and Pang Taishi also know. It's just that it's not clear whether he bought those swords or deposited them by someone else. ”

Renzong was obviously a little surprised: "Oh? You all know? So why is there no formalities? ”

Bao Zheng said: "Chen Shimei's villa has only been open for a month, and the villa is very large, and it really needs someone to take care of it. But the application procedure is cumbersome, so I first got the name of a guard. Weichen thinks that the key to this matter lies in those weapons. If Chen Shimei bought it, he should naturally be killed. If it was really someone else's deposit, but the guys picked it up after red-eyed, it would be a different matter. ”

Renzong nodded when he listened: "Well, what Aiqing said is reasonable. ”

It didn't take long for the blacksmith to be brought by Zhanzhao. The blacksmith was Mu, in his forties, because of the iron, strong muscles could be seen on his bare arms, his thick black beard was uncombed, and his gown was soaked with sweat, apparently he had just been pulled from the shop.

Although Chen Yuan knew that someone would definitely ventilate for him first, when the blacksmith was really brought, he was still a little apprehensive in his heart.

Bao Zheng looked at the blacksmith: "Who is in the hall?" ”

The blacksmith hurriedly knelt down: "Mu Zhen, the ironsmith in the south of the villain, knock on Lord Bao." ”

Bao Zheng snorted: "Okay, Blacksmith Mu, take a look, do you know the person kneeling in the middle of this hall?" ”

Blacksmith Mu glanced at Chen Yuan: "Lord Huibao, this is Chen Shimei, the shopkeeper of the Crescent Moon Villa outside the city, who has dealt with villains. ”

Bao Zheng asked again, "Did he buy a batch of iron tools from you?" ”

Chen Yuan's heart was in his throat, and he only heard the blacksmith Namu say: "Shopkeeper Chen has indeed made some weapons in the shop, and the list is still here with the villain, and the villain has already brought it, please take a look at it." ”

Chen Yuan's face suddenly became ugly when he heard this, but Zhang Yuan laughed: "Lord Bao, the villain is not wrong, right?" ”
