After returning to the city, Li Ang inexplicably felt that something was wrong, and thought about it carefully, it seemed that everything was too smooth when he asked Yang Nan to come out this time.

Li Ang was not very relieved, so he found Cheng Guan again and asked him to send someone to monitor Yang Nan, and at dusk, Cheng Guan came to report that Yang Nan had left the fire well in a hurry, and Li Ang was secretly relieved.

The case of Fang's family eating the dead with salt has already caused a stir in the fire well, which has attracted much attention from the public, and the streets and alleys are hotly discussing this matter every day. Under his planning, the Fang family sent many people to operate in the market, spreading various county orders Cui Yin to accept bribes, and manipulate the family of the deceased to falsely accuse the good.........

In short, all kinds of rumors are spreading, most of them are unfavorable to Cui Yin, and even Li Ang has been involved, and in some versions of the rumors, he has become one of the masterminds behind the scenes.

As the so-called three people become tigers, as officials, they are still very afraid of this popular discussion, if it causes public opinion to boil and someone takes the lead in making trouble, it will be terrible.

Especially in this case, it is very suspicious to say that the Fang family's salt eats dead people, after all, everyone is fine when they eat the Fang family's salt, and you are poisoned by eating alone, which is a little unreasonable.

In this case, public opinion in the market gradually favored sympathy for the Fang family, which was very unfavorable to Li Ang.

On the day of the trial, the outside of the Huojing Yamen was surrounded by people, with three floors inside and three layers outside, and the sound of discussion was flying like countless flies. It wasn't until Cui Yin ascended to the hall in a green official robe that it was a little quiet outside the yamen.

Cui Yin picked up the startled wood with two fingers and patted it gently, shouting: "Pass the plaintiff!" ”

Liu Erhu of Liujia Village was quickly arrested and brought to the court.

When Cui Yin called the defendant, it was Fang Tongxing and Liu Xiazi who went to court together. Fang Tongxing's face was angry, and his face was quite scary. Liu Xiazi was holding a folding fan and taking square steps, comfortable and very calm.

After asking the plaintiff's name, place of origin, and the reason for the complaint according to the procedure, Cui Yin was shocked again, and said in a deep voice: "Bold Liu Erhu, dare to lie and falsely accuse others, come on!" Play the top 10 boards first. ”

After Cui Yin finished speaking, he took out a order sign and threw it down the hall, snap! For a while, in addition to Liu Erhu's screams, the hall was so quiet that it could be heard, which made Liu Erhu's screams particularly harsh.

When the ten boards were finished, the people outside the hall who watched the trial were suddenly buzzing again, and rumors were spreading in the market before, and there were rumors that Cui Yin colluded with Zhao Shangyi, Li Ang and other officials and businessmen to plant blame, and all kinds of rumors spread well, and most people believed it.

But Liu Erhu hit these top ten boards as soon as he came up, what's going on?

If it was really Cui Yin, Zhao Shangyi, Li Ang and others who colluded with officials and businessmen to instruct Liu Erhu to frame the Fang family, it should be the defendant who was beaten, not Liu Erhu, right?

It is even more impossible for Cui Mingfu to say that Liu Erhu is falsely accused as soon as he goes to court.

It can be said that these ten boards made the previous rumors about the collusion between Cui Yin and Li Ang and others break down in an instant, Li Ang stood outside the crowd, and smiled secretly after hearing the confused people questioning the previous rumors.

At this time, Li Tiezui motioned to a few sharp-tongued salt workers to drill into the crowd to guide public opinion: "No, I heard that it was Cui County Ling who colluded with several businessmen to instruct Liu Erhu to frame the Fang family, if this is the case, how could Cui County Ling beat Liu Erhu first and accuse him of false accusations?" ”

"Hey...... Still don't understand this? As the saying goes, those who are clear are self-purifying, and those who are turbid are self-turbid. Whether Cui Mingfu has corrupted the law or not, these ten boards are enough to explain. But how did the previous rumors come about, have you thought about it? Why are the rumors talking to the Fang family? ”

"This guy asked well, this matter is definitely not so simple, it is clear that someone is a thief and deliberately spreads those rumors to make public opinion boil and discredit Cui Mingfu. This kind of trick is probably the most familiar method of the first lawyer in Jiannan. ”

"This big brother is right, I think we are all being used by others."

"As the saying goes, don't do bad things, don't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door, if there is no problem with the Fang family's salt, why smear Cui Mingfu like this and create public opinion pressure?"

"Yes! Oh, yes! It must have been done by the Fang family. ”

“………”

The discussion of the people outside the hall faintly spread into the hall, Li Xiazi, who was originally leisurely, changed his face darkly, Liu Erhu looked beaten to the flesh, ordinary people don't know, but people like Liu Xiazi, who are used to dealing with the yamen, know very well in their hearts,

The people who play the board in the yamen are all specially trained.

One way to play is to wrap a thick stone slab with clothes, and after the beating, the clothes are unscathed, but the stone slabs inside are broken into stones. It's light on the outside and heavy on the inside.

Another way to play is to wrap a stack of paper in a garment, and after the requirement is finished, the garment is tattered, but the paper inside is unscathed. According to this style of play, it looks like the skin is open and the flesh is open, but in fact, the skin is not hurt. This is called heavy on the outside and light on the inside.

The board that Liu Erhu suffered was heavy on the outside and light on the inside, but it was just some skin trauma, and he was fine in two days with some medicine.

It took Li Xiazi a few days of hard work, and the public opinion offensive that he finally created was cracked in an instant, and he was beaten upside down, a master, there is a master behind this!

Li Xiazi knew very well that he lost in this first round of the competition.

Sure enough, Liu Erhu, who was beaten to the point of "dying", refused to admit that he was falsely accused, and shouted weakly in the hall: "Mingfu ....... wronged!" A certain did not frame anyone, my father did eat the Fang family's salt and died of poisoning......."

"You're lying!" Cui Yin was shocked again: "As we all know, buying salt is usually for cooking. Liu Erhu, this official came to ask you, if the Fang family's salt is poisonous, why was your father poisoned, but you are fine? ”

"Mingfu, things are like this, the villain went to work in the field early that day, the father was late that day, he made breakfast at home, ready to send it to the field for the villain to eat, at noon, the villain was hungry and panicked, and he didn't see the food delivered by the family, so he went home to see, and he never thought that as soon as he entered the house, he saw his father lying on the stove, foaming at the mouth, his face was blue, and he was out of gas.

The neighbors were alarmed and came over to take a look, and they all said that my father was a sign of poisoning and death. Everyone looked for the reason, that day my father fried leeks, and there were also leeks in the foam that spit out, so everyone threw the leeks fried by my father to the dog to eat, and the dog was also poisoned, but this leek villain eats it every day at home, how can it be poisonous? The villain remembered the salt he had just bought from the Fang family the day before, so he took the salt and tried it, and it was really poisonous. Mingfu! Mingfu! You'll have to call the shots for the villain! My father died so unjustly! ”

Liu Erhu snorted and cried, like a cuckoo crying blood, which made people's hearts sour, it was originally a family of fathers and sons, but now it ended up so miserable, and the people outside the hall were all very sympathetic.

Cui Yin's tone also eased a lot, and he asked Cheng Guan: "Cheng Zhutou, the salt that poisoned Liu Erhu's father is important physical evidence, and it should be presented quickly." ”

"Whoa!" Chengguan quickly brought up the salt shaker of Liu Erhu's house.

Cui Yin asked, "Liu Erhu, is this your salt shaker?" ”

"Yuming Mansion, exactly."

"Toxic or not, you don't count, become a head catcher, test for drugs!"

"Whoa!"

Chengguan first used a silver needle to test, and the crowds of people outside the hall suddenly calmed down, and they all watched with wide eyes, and when Chengguan slowly pulled out the silver needle from the salt shaker, everyone outside the hall held their breath.

"It's not poisonous!"

"The silver needle has not turned black."

“……”

Seeing that the silver needle did not change color, the people outside the hall were suddenly in an uproar again, Cui Yin patted the shocked wood again and again, and shouted: "Silence! Quiet! Only then did the people who watched the trial calm down, but they still couldn't help but talk to each other and discuss with each other in a whisper.

Cheng Guan walked to the front of the public case, bowed down and presented the silver needle and said: "Yuming Mansion, it has been inspected in the court, the silver needle has not turned black, and the salt of Liu Erhu's house has no signs of poison." ”

Syllable!

"Bold Liu Erhu, what else do you have to say now, come here, hit ten more sticks, see if he moves!"

Liu Erhu's face turned pale, he knelt and crawled forward, and shouted miserably: "Ming Mansion! The villain is wronged! Wronged! On the same day, we tested the poison at home, the dog was really dead, the adults didn't believe it, but the little neighbors could be invited to the court to ask, Mingfu! What a small wrong! ”

"Bring a witness!" Cui Yin drank again.

At this point in the court trial, there was nothing to do with Fang Tongxing and Li Xiazi, and Cui Yin didn't even give the two a chance to speak. Cui Yin has always been looking for Liu Erhu's loopholes, as if he will not stop until he finds evidence of Liu Erhu's false accusation.

This gives people a feeling: Cui Yin has already determined that Liu Erhu is falsely accused. And this more strongly proves that Cui County's order is fair, and Liu Erhu was never instructed by them to falsely accuse the Fang family.

Fang Tongxing was very strange about this, but Liu Xiazi secretly shouted that it was not good!
