At this time, the Kang County Order and the Inspector Yushi arrived before and after. Deng Quansheng immediately said: "Kang County Order, I was wronged!" ”

Kang County Order and Supervisor Yu Shi Cheng Chonghui looked at all the cash boxes, Cheng Chonghui was a little puzzled, glanced at Xiao Jiading, and said, "With this money alone, you will arrest people?" ”

As soon as he heard this, Deng Quansheng immediately came to his senses and shouted that he was wronged.

Xiao Jiading also knew that there was no crime of unknown sources of huge wealth in the laws of the Tang Dynasty, so although a huge amount of stolen money was caught, there must be other evidence of the crime. At that moment, Xiao Jiading took out Liu Xiangzheng's testimony from his arms and handed it to Cheng Chonghui: "Please take a look at the supervision of the imperial history." ”

Cheng Chonghui glanced at Xiao Jiading, his eyes were a little indifferent. Xiao Jiading knew that Tang Lin must not have told him about this matter yet, because this matter was just said, and Tang Lin was drunk before, so it was too late to say it. Then he leaned forward and whispered, "Tang Sima just ordered, he said that he would tell you." ”

As soon as he heard Tang Sima, Chen Chonghui was immediately excited, he was pulled up by Tang Lin, if he dared not listen to Tang Lin's words, not to mention that he already had some reports about Deng Quansheng, but there was no real evidence, so he never started.

Hearing Xiao Jiading say that Tang Lin had given the order, he was immediately bold, raised the confession in his hand, and said to Deng Quansheng: "Now, Liu Xiangzheng admits to bribing you, the amount is very large, and he also knows that others have bribed you. Now, I have found such a huge fortune from your family, and you will not be able to earn this money in ten lifetimes! Where did it come from? ”

County Lieutenant Deng stopped talking, his family didn't have any business, and they didn't have any big money, so much money was said to be family, and no one believed it. What's more, since Xiao Jiading did something to him, he must have other ironclad evidence. The ironclad evidence should come from Liu Xiangzheng.

After Liu Xiangzheng was arrested, he once asked Xiao Jiading for a confession, and asked Xiao Jiading again, and he was relieved to get that Liu Xiangzheng did not say anything related to bribery. But after thinking about it, I felt unsure, so I asked the arrester who went to arrest the criminal with Xiao Jiading that night to ask about the situation at that time. When he learned that Xiao Jiading had asked Liu Xiangzheng alone for a long time, he felt that something was wrong, so he immediately sorted out his money and prepared to move to another hidden place. Then Xiao Jiading came again, and he knew that the road was over. People are dirty.

The superintendent Yushi ordered Kang County: "First put the prisoner in prison, and the two of us will check the property of Deng Quansheng's family together." ”

Kang County Ling nodded and said yes.

Dai Zhutou personally led people to escort Deng Quansheng back to the Yamen prison, and Xiao Jiading ordered all of Deng Quansheng's families to be separated and take confessions separately in order to obtain more incriminating evidence.

The affair lasted until dawn the next day, when it was all over. The amount of Deng Quansheng's family wealth was staggering, which made Kang Xianling and others stunned.

Returning to Yamen, because Deng Quansheng was an official in Shaocheng County and was not suitable for trial and detention in Shaocheng County, the superintendent Yushi decided to transfer Deng Quansheng to the Yamen Prison in the state capital.

The investigation and handling of crimes committed by officials while performing official duties is the function of supervising the imperial history, and the local yamen are only responsible for cooperating, and the leading power lies in supervising the imperial history. Therefore, Xiao Jiading did not participate.

Because this day happened to be the day of the first day of rest for the officials of the yamen, everyone who had nothing to do went back. Xiao Jiading didn't go home, he still has a lot of things to do today. In the morning, I was going to go to the grave of Su Yunxia's mother, which had already been said, and at noon I was going to go to the association with Du Erniu and them to have a poetry meeting. Therefore, it is impossible to have time to sleep all day, so I can only hope that the poetry will end early, so that I can go to bed early.

I haven't slept all night, I'm too sleepy, I'm going to sleep for an hour before I go to the memorial service.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he fell asleep, there was a banging sound on the door, to be precise, it was the sound of kicking the door, which woke him up all of a sudden, and he didn't fall asleep at all, and got up and scolded and opened the door: "Who!" The door is going to be kicked through! ”

The door opened, and it turned out to be Kang Xuan, the son of Kang County Ling.

Kang Xuan raised his little face, clenched his fists in a serious manner, and said, "Sir, I'm here to learn light skills from you!" Said okay to teach me today. ”

Xiao Jiading slapped his head, he was so busy in the past two days that he forgot about it, and said busily: "I'm sorry, I'm ......, I'm very busy all day today, I'm about to go out, tomorrow, tomorrow, okay?" Come tomorrow at noon, and I will teach you! ”

He has already made up his mind, that is, he will not sleep all night, and he will also learn some light skills to teach this little guy, and he can't always lose his trust.

Kang Xuan looked at him, looked very serious, nodded, and said, "Okay then!" But there's no need to push it back tomorrow at noon! ”

"Definitely! As long as there is nothing big about it, I will teach you. You first practice what I taught you earlier! ”

"Hmmm! I'm leaving! Kang Xuan stepped out and went back to the inner house. Xiao Jiading breathed a sigh of relief at this time. I was ready to go to bed again, but just now Kang Xuan kicked the door with a loud noise, which had already driven him away from sleep, and he didn't feel sleepy for a while, so he simply got up, packed up, and went to Xiao Jiading's shop specializing in selling incense paper, bought a bundle of incense, and a large stack of paper money, plus pig's head meat specially used for the grave, glutinous rice, melons and fruits, and other offerings, and carried a large bag.

Xiao Jiading hired a carriage and sent him to the knife cliff in Nancheng. All the way forward, the carriage walked for about half an hour to arrive, and there was a mass grave inside the cliff, and the handlebar type was unwilling to go in, but only willing to wait outside the cliff. And the road inside is not convenient for walking carriages. So Xiao Jiading paid some money in advance and asked him to wait outside, saying that he would come out after the memorial.

Xiao Jiading carried a large bag of things and walked inside, the mass grave was quiet, and he heard a few crows from time to time, which was very appropriate, making this mass grave even more gloomy.

Xiao Jiading searched for a long time according to the direction that Su Laocai said, and finally found the new tomb.

After seeing the tomb, he immediately understood what Su Laocai said that he only set up a small stele, which was indeed too small, and it was not a stone stele, but a wooden board, on which "Liu's Tomb" was simply written with a black pen, and there was nothing else.

Xiao Jiading scolded and scolded, Su Laocai could afford to marry nine concubines, he bribed himself that day, and took out a box of money at once, indicating that he still weighed money, and his concubine died.

Xiao Jiading put the offerings in place, inserted incense, and began to burn paper, he wanted to say a few words, but he didn't know what to say, after all, this was burning paper and burning incense for others.

He was pondering what to say when he suddenly heard footsteps and crying in the distance. It's coming towards him.

Could it be that Liu's mother's family came to the grave for her? You have to hide quickly, or you will be seen, but you can't tell.

So, Xiao Jiading hid behind a boulder by the grave and squatted.

In a moment, the sound of footsteps and cries came to the grave, and from the sound it sounded like a man, and some age. Could it be Su Laocai?

Impossible, if Su Laocai would cry in front of Liu's grave, he would not have buried Liu's in this mass grave so hastily.

When he arrived at the grave, the whining cry stopped, and he seemed to hear the man muttering to himself: "Who is here to worship Liu'er......?" ”

Obviously, this person saw Xiao Jiading's sacrifice and burned incense paper in front of the grave.

There was a momentary pause, and then the man was heard whining, and then the sound of the sacrificial cups being placed.

Who is it? There is only one person who listens to the voice. A middle-aged man went to Liu's grave to cry and worship, which is really interesting. Xiao Jiading couldn't help but be curious, so he took the weeds under the boulder as a cover and looked over. I saw a middle-aged man kneeling in front of the grave, placing his own sacrifice next to his sacrifice, and then began to light incense and burn paper.

The man was wearing a coarse cloth shirt, his face was full of vicissitudes, and judging from his clothes, he should be an ordinary peasant.

Heard him cry and say, "Liu'er, you can go in peace, alas! Yunxia's daughter, in order to help you avenge her, went to the government to complain, but she was arrested by the government and wanted to be convicted of death, alas! I'm going to go with you soon, and your mother and daughter have a companion in the underworld, and they won't be alone. Woo woo woo woo ......, that damn Wu clan has also been put in prison, if she is beheaded, you can also be blinded in the spirit of the sky. However, I heard that the damn Su Laocai is spending money everywhere to communicate with each other, preparing to exchange her capital crime for a living crime. Liu'er, you must be blessed in the spirit of heaven, don't let Su Laocai succeed, and take away the soul of this damn Wu clan, woo woo woo..."

The man was crying and burning paper money, and he didn't wipe his tears, and his wrinkled face was full of snot and tears.

After crying for a while, the middle-aged man continued to chant: "Poor Yunxia, she lost her life in order to avenge you......, this child is pitiful, alas! If my father had been willing to sell the ploughing cattle as a dowry and marry you, it wouldn't be where you are today, you wouldn't have been killed by that poisonous woman, and Yunxia wouldn't have given up her life to avenge you....... ...... you came to me that time, if I had agreed to ......, why would you ...... today? Alas! It's fate! After you cried and left, I went to look for you early in the morning and hid outside the door of Su's house waiting for you to come out, but I couldn't see you. I regret it......! I woke up again and again from my dreams with regret. My father found me a daughter-in-law, I was sorry for you, I didn't want to live or die, I said at the beginning, I won't marry anyone except marry you! That's how I've come here all these years......"

Speaking of sadness, he whimpered and cried. After a while, he continued: "I am looking forward to it in my heart, hoping that Su Laocai is tired of you and will kick you out, or Su Laocai is dead, and you go back to your parents' house, even if I can't marry you, I can see you from time to time, then I will be happy, who would have thought that the Wu clan, who killed a thousand knives, would actually beat you to death!" Woowoowoo......"
