Now it's good, not only did the thief catch it, but he also got the stolen goods on the spot.

With these leads, where did they find it in Yumanlou, Chen Chang is simply yellow mud falling into the crotch of his pants, not is also, I don't know if this "old Xingzun" saw that the officials had suspicious movements in their hearts, which aroused the suspicion of those officials, or those officials intended to please the assassin, and when they arrested people, they saw suspicious items and brought them back together.

Seeing that he had dug up "Lao Xingzun" with a lot of money and was arrested, Chen Chang's heart had already cooled half of it, and then after seeing the lead brought back, some of the lead was also processed into the size of a toothpick, which was exactly the same as the one picked out on the spot, Chen Chang's body shook a little unsteadily.

His face was as pale as paper.

"Wow~~~ Master Jin, I owe Yumanlou spent a lot of money to invite you, I didn't expect you to be an old man, and actually do such a thing, see which gold shop dares to use you in the future, I want to see how your wife and children will starve to death by then, hum!" Chen Chang on the side "gritted his teeth" and scolded, as if he had met someone unladylike, and he had no eyes and invited you, a master with a corrupt character, to come back and take the hammer.

"Lao Xingzun" Master Jin paused for a moment, and immediately turned pale.

He understood the subtext of what Chen Chang said, to the effect: You have done such a low-character thing, no one will dare to use you in the future, know each other, if there is anything you can do, I will take care of your family for you at that time.

"Bold!" Cui Tingshi was angry in the court, he has been an official for many years, where did he not hear the crooks here, and shouted: "Without permission, if someone talks nonsense, slap your mouth." ”

Chen Chang wanted to hint and threaten again, but he hurriedly silenced when he heard the words, because he saw an official messenger holding a wooden card in his hand and looking at him with fierce eyes.

"Little~~ villain Jin Hui, meet Lord Thorn Shi." Master Jin trembled and knelt down with a "snap".

In the past, he worked in the prosperous Chang'an, at the foot of the Son of Heaven, he felt as if he was better than others, this is after he came to Yangzhou, the whole person gives you an inexplicable sense of superiority, but everyone thinks he is skilled, is a "master" level temper.

Now when it comes to the critical moment, take off those halos, he is just a suspect who is about to go to prison, especially he never dreamed that these officials would find his head so quickly, so that he was taken on the spot.

"Lao Xingzun" Master Jin knelt on the ground, his face was pale, his legs trembled like chaff, his speech was a little unfavorable, and he almost urinated out.

is also a skilled jewelry technician, how can people be so different from people? Cui Tingshi looked at Liu Yuan, who was calm and composed, and then looked at Master Jin's bear-like appearance, and secretly sighed in his heart: Sure enough, the same rice raises a hundred kinds of people, and sometimes temperament and personality really have nothing to do with the exquisiteness of the craftsmanship.

After Master Jin in the hall signed up for the letter, Cui Tingshi did not question him about the case, but looked at him a few times with deep meaning, which made Master Jin even more tortured in his heart, lowered his head, and cold sweat dripped to the ground.

Rao is a master craftsman, and he is also famous in the jewelry industry, but as soon as he jumps out of the jewelry industry, there are not many people who know him.

Cui Tingshi said lightly: "Jin Hui, this official regrets that it is not easy for you to learn the craft, if it is instructed by others, you are only ordered to act, you can be regarded as an accomplice, if you are stubborn, you should know that you are falsely accused of sitting on this law." ”

Since the Qin and Han dynasties, false accusations of anti-sitting have been shown in the law, and Zhang Fei's "Notes on the Law" of the Jin law: "Falsely accuse the rebel of sitting back." "Northern Wei Law: "If the accusations are untrue, they will be guilty of their crimes." , and "Tang Law Fighting Lawsuit" falsely accused the anti-sitting article: "Those who falsely accuse others, each sits back." "However, if a person falsely accuses a product officer and is subject to the punishment of dismissal, the sentence is more aggravated than the reverse.

If Liu Yuan is falsely accused of stealing a chicken, a sheep or something, this is fine, at most he will pay a chicken or a sheep, but like this kind of false accusation of competition to win the opponent, aiming to put the competitor to death, even the industry association has removed it, this "anti-sitting" effect, to say big, big, to say small, small, big or small, all care about the heart of the judge, but those present can be imagined with their toes, Cui Tingshi's punishment is definitely biased towards Liu Yuan.

Just kidding, in Yangzhou, when did I see that the defendant had been standing to hear the trial, and this defendant, who had no fame or strong relatives, was just a small businessman, or a craftsman or a "half scholar" as Lord Thorn Shi laughedly called, this preference has been a great love.

"Adult, adult, the small one has been recruited, and the small one has been recruited~~~" Master Jin shouted loudly while kowtowing.

Lord Assassin Shi is right, he is just under the command of the owner, and now the evidence is ironclad, at first glance it is a dead end, he does not have the consciousness of "the soldier dies for the confidant", and he and Chen Chang are not confidants, yes, just use money and silver to maintain the relationship between the guest and the host, he knows that the current crime is still far from the imperial court's decree that the ordinary crime is limited to a maximum of 3,000 li of exile, but with his own figure, it is enough to exile for hundreds of miles.

Chen Chang knew that the general trend was gone, and he suddenly collapsed to the ground, and said to himself with a gray face: "It's over, it's over, it's all over."

As soon as Master Jin confessed, Chen Chang did not hide it, and told the story of the matter in a 1510 way, and soon, the people present suddenly understood the ins and outs of the whole thing:

Before the Jinyu family was fully excavated, Yumanlou can be described as a standout, the leader of Yangzhou's jewelry industry, but since the death of Yuan Guangtou, the treasurer of the Jinyu family, Liu Yuan took over, Liu Yuan took over, the Jinyu family is like a shotgun at once, and it is propaganda and activities, in less than a few months, it has become Jinshui Street and Yangzhou's most popular gold store.

Chen Chang, who came to Yumanlou, was naturally unwilling, and after some thought, he set a poisonous plan, that is, to use the scheme to discredit the Jinyu family, and he couldn't mix it up in Yangzhou.

In fact, to discredit the opponent, the best thing is to buy the opponent's craftsman, deliberately make it bad, and then he is wronged and it is difficult to argue, but the Jinyu family only has a few slave disciples who have been bought, and these slave disciples are also novices, at most, they will only be beaten, all the jewelry is made by Liu Yuan himself, and when this road is impassable, Chen Chang thought of a more poisonous plan, that is, to make Liu Yuan discredited in front of everyone, so he instigated the first to make this year's party a competition, In order to smoothly implement the plan, he entrusted a lot of money to dig up Jin Hui, the "old Xingzun" of Chang'an Jin Supreme, and the main reason for digging him was that he had a lot of experience in mixing lead and distinguishing fake gold and silver.

In order not to expose himself, he found a gangster named Daqiang to do something, and as soon as he finished doing it, he sent it to the field, even if the incident happened, there was no proof of it, this plan was very perfect.

It was done, Yumanlou regained the position of the overlord of Yangzhou's jewelry industry, even if he lost, he could get out of the matter and not be implicated, but he never dreamed that because of the characteristics of his left hand and right hand, Liu Yuan grabbed the only loophole that he didn't pay attention to, and suddenly destroyed this plan that he thought was seamless.

Things, lives.

After Master Jin finished his statement, everyone first took a breath of cold air, and then scolded Chen Chang for his shame, and some people praised Liu Yuan for being meticulous and observant, and the little lady in the hall saw Liu Yuan once again turning the danger into a disaster and retreating, and couldn't help it for a while, and her eyes were a little tearful.

Cui Tingshi was also very satisfied, and he was promoted to the court for interrogation overnight, firstly, to make a clear decision, and secondly, to prove that he was diligent in government and loved the people, and that he was like a god in judging cases.

"Bang~~", Cui Tingshi knocked on the shocked wood: "Quiet, now the official pronounces the verdict"
