Chen Tang froze when he heard this, looked back at Chu Xinping, and then turned around and left.

Chu Xinping saw that Chen Tang ignored him, and he was even more angry, so he rushed out of the gate with his legs, stretched out his hand and pointed at Chen Tang's back and scolded: "Dog official, Lao Tzu will not give up with you!" When I turn around, I'll let you go back to your hometown to feed the pigs! ”

Chen Tang stood still again, he looked at the servant Cao who was staring at Chu Xinping beside him and said, "What did this person say just now?" ”

The person next to Chen Tang was the official who was about to do something with Chu Xinping just now, and immediately said after hearing Chen Tang's questioning: "County lieutenant, this person scolds you for being a dog official." ”

Chen Tang nodded and said, "Take down this person who insults the officials of the Han Dynasty." ”

This waiter Cao is usually a troublemaker, and he has long wanted to make a move on Chu Xinping, so he will bear the brunt of it and pounce on Chu Xinping.

Chu Xinping usually works as a blessing and prestige, his family has a big business, where has he received today's anger, plus he himself can also have some martial arts and boxing sticks, when he saw the servants coming to arrest him, he rolled up his sleeves and fought with these servants, and kept scolding in his mouth.

This Chu Xinping is very good, five or six poor people couldn't take him for a while, and he punched a few people on several people.

As soon as Chen Tang saw this, he slowly walked over, and those who surrounded Chu Xinping dispersed when they saw the county lieutenant coming.

Chu Xinping sneered at Chen Tang and said, "You dog official, you don't know how powerful Lao Tzu is, wait for Lao Tzu to ......."

Chu Xinping didn't finish a sentence, everyone saw a flower in front of them, Chen Tang pounced, only heard a few crackling sounds, Chu Xinping screamed "poof" and fell to the ground.

Everyone was dumbfounded, only to realize that the new county lieutenant of Lu Dao was extremely powerful, but Chen Tang slowly walked up to the horse, and said lightly while getting on the horse: "Take away this madman who defies the king's law." ”

The old lady of the Chu family heard the commotion outside, and when he was helped out, Chen Tang had already gone far away with the people.

Chen Tang took people to Chu's house to catch Chu Heng, but Gou Shen was leisurely in the back hall, holding a pen and practicing writing on bamboo slips.

Hua Hong doesn't know much about words, but Bingnu is a little literate and ink, she is waiting for Gou Shen to write, seeing Gou Shen holding her breath, her attitude is very serious, but those words seem to be written in one sentence, and Bingnu is not easy to get too close to see.

At this time, someone outside reported that the county lieutenant had invited the county commander to discuss the matter, so Gou Shen put down his pen, coughed, turned around and went out.

As soon as Gou Shen left, Bingnu began to clean up, and only then did she see that the handwriting that the master had just written a few volumes turned out to be the full text of "The bright moonlight in front of the banquet, suspected to be frost on the ground".

Bingnu immediately blushed with shame, thinking of the day Gou Shen explained the meaning of the poem to Hua Hong......

When Chen Tang saw Gou Shen, he roughly said what happened in the Chu family: "Chu Xinping, the second son of the Chu family, will be locked up in prison, but the lower officials let people treat him well, don't make mistakes." ”

"After interrogation, Chu Heng has admitted to giving Mao Yongming money and instructing Mao Yongming to poison with the intention of killing the priest."

The people in Yingshui County are familiar with the local Haoqiang, and naturally they have dealings, and the matter of being interrogated by Gou Shen and Chen Tang was known by the Chu family, and the Chu family came to poison it, and the speed was also fast.

Gou Shen didn't care about anything else, only asked Chen Tang about the results of Chu Heng's interrogation.

"The lower official first has to ask the county order for guilt, and ask the county to forgive the lower official for the heavy punishment when he interrogated Chu Heng."

Gou Shen waved his hand when he heard this: "Extraordinary means are used in extraordinary times, if Chu Heng can come obediently when you are summoned by the county lieutenant for the first time, where are there so many miscellaneous things?" ”

"Besides, the last time we told us about the excessive punishment of this dynasty, didn't the emperor clearly ask us to do it?"

"Brother Zi does things, naturally there are reasons for Brother Zi, and there is no need to be polite to this official in the future."

Chen Tang looked at Gou Shen and saw him smiling, so he said: "At the beginning, Chu Heng tried all kinds of quibbles, and under the capital punishment of the lower officials, he confessed the fact that he instructed Mao Yongming to poison with the intention of killing the priest, and then admitted that he had asked Kou Shixun to give the priest a dumb medicine, so that the priest could not speak. ”

"The county order, the attendants said that this Kou Shixun is the family of Kou County, and Kou Shixun used to be a jailer in this county, but he let go of the prisoner because of drinking, and he has been dismissed."

Gou Shen nodded and said: "This matter is known to the official, don't care about that Kou Shixun first, what else did Chu Heng say?" ”

"Chu Heng confessed, what he did was coerced by Chu Xinwei, the eldest son of the Chu family, he said, Chu Xinwei likes to raise fighting dogs, and one day the elder brother of the sacrifice passed by the door of the Chu family, and was bitten by the Chu family's dog, and the sacrifice Xian wanted to explain the law to the Chu family, and was beaten by the Chu family on the grounds of being unreasonable."

"When the priest saw his brother being beaten, he went to the Chu family to make trouble, but no one in the Chu family paid attention to him, so the priest hid around the Chu family, waiting for the opportunity to kill the two dogs of the Chu family, and the eldest son of the Chu family, Chu Xinwei, took people to the priest's house to find the priest, but the two brothers were not at home, and Chu Xinwei saw that the wife of the priest was good-looking, so he insulted the wife of the priest."

Gou Shen frowned when he heard this: "The brother of the priest is not here, and Chu Xinwei insulted the sister-in-law of the priest?" Isn't the priest's mother at home either? ”

"In. The county order, Chu Heng said that Chu Xinwei asked the servants of the Chu family to enclose the old mother in the house, and ruined the women of the sacrifice family in front of the old woman. ”

Chen Tang said, looking at Gou Shen silently, and continued: "Then, Chu Xinwei left the sacrificial house with people. ”

"In that case, how can the priest go to prison? How did he insult his sister-in-law and be found out by the neighbors? How did he kill his brother and destroy his body? ”

Chen Tang nodded: "Yes, the county order, there are already a lot of doubts in the case of the sacrifice, and the lower officials think that it is good to arrest Kou Shixun and Chu Xinwei first." ”

Next, Chu Heng didn't say anything again.

"However, since so many people from the Chu family have been arrested, the lower officials will ask them one by one, and there should be some gains."

Gou Shen said: "Okay, according to Chu Heng's confession, the county lieutenant can send someone to arrest Chu Xinwei and bring it to the county office, and at the same time send someone to bring all the witnesses who participated in the sacrificial case to the county government and ask what the original situation of this case was." ”

"Brother Zi, Yingshui County is very complicated."

Chen Tang understood what Gou Shen meant, and Gou Shen said: "As for Kou Shixun, the head of Kou County, the county lieutenant might as well go and tell the county Cheng in person, and let the county Cheng notify Kou Shixun to come to Yingshui to assist and clarify the matter, that is." ”

Chen Tang hesitated a little when he heard this: "In this way, will Kou Shixun run away?" ”

Gou Shen smiled lightly: "Brother Zi just go and tell the county master, at the same time, send two capable servants to hide around Kou Shixun's house, if Kou Shixun comes to Yingshui to surrender, then it's enough, if he escapes, he will be arrested." ”
