According to the second law of Xingxian taught to him by Cheng Li, Shi Xun first "quietly entered the village, don't shoot guns", made a private visit to Weifu, and then suddenly revealed his identity, went straight to the county office at lightning speed, and ordered the treasury to be temporarily sealed.

He asked Wu Zhen to go to the library to search the archives of the contract, and he took Lu Hong with him to review the various cases that had been tried and those that had not been adjudicated in the county in the past year. He asked Geng County Order, saying that as soon as I entered the county, I heard that there was such a case, why didn't I see the relevant materials? Geng County Ling arched his hand and replied: "Then you have to summon Tu County Cheng to ask......

It's not like many costume films, the county lord sits in the court in person at every turn to judge the case, generally this kind of work is done by the county, and if it can't be solved, it has to be labor county order. According to the Book of Han, the county official "signed the clerk and knew the cangprison", that is, he was not only the adjutant and secretary of the county order, but also in charge of finance and justice. Therefore, when it comes to the issue of adjudication, Geng County's order must push Tu Xiancheng out.

The time was not big, Tu Xiancheng came and met Shixun. Shi Xun looked at this man in his forties, short stature, round face and big belly, if he cut off those short legs, he would look like a snowman - of course, he was not as white as a snowman, and his nose was not a carrot, but a flattened yam egg with a little redness. Overall, except for being a little fatter and having a collapsed nose, the rest of the four features are quite upright, and the position is also very decent, giving people the first impression that this guy is good wine and meat, greedy for appetite, but he is very honest.

Shi Xun returned the half-salute, and then went straight to the point and asked Tu Xiancheng about the situation of Ning Ke's case. When Tu Xiancheng heard this, he casually took out a roll of bamboo slips from his sleeve: "Because the county government has just approved the case, it has not been filed, and it has not been submitted to the chief for review." ”

Yes Xun was stunned when he heard this, and said in his heart, Didn't Wu Zhen say that it had only been sent out for two days, how could he get it back? Jiyin County Zhidingtao is also two hundred miles away from here, and your brother sent a fast horse to gallop day and night. The death row prisoner will be tried after the autumn, and it's only February, why are you in a hurry? Do you plan that as soon as the official document arrives, you can give it to Ning in prison without knowing it or noticing......

He felt more and more that there was something strange about it, so he took the bamboo slip and unfolded it to take a closer look. I saw that the content on the brief was roughly as follows: On a certain year, month and day, villager Ning was injured in beating his father, and he should be sentenced to capital punishment according to the law, and the following is the detailed process of the case occurrence and trial. But according to what is written on this bamboo slip, Tu Xiancheng only tried the case once, and Lao Wang next door only had one confession, and he recognized that he was a tenant and gave birth to a child, and there was no retraction of the confession.

It was Xun who looked at the bamboo slips, then looked at the Tuxian Cheng, then looked at the bamboo slips, and then looked at the Tuxian Cheng...... After repeating this several times, he finally saw Tu Xiancheng's heart furious. When this Tu Xiancheng first arrived, his eyes were sincere, and he had a gentle but not flattering smile on his face, but at this point he couldn't bear it anymore, his eyes began to flicker, and his smile began to stiffen.

It was Xun Xin who said: "Hehe, the so-called 'irregular eyes in the chest', your brother is finally going to reveal the prototype, right?" "He didn't expect that there are very few absolute righteous gentlemen in this world, who doesn't have a little ghost in his heart, if Cao Cao looks at him like this without saying a word, he is still frightened, his eyes are rolling, and he doesn't know where to look.

However, if he asks again at this time, it is easier to break through the other party's defense. So he asked, saying that I heard rumors from the villagers, there are two trials in this case, and at the beginning, Lao Wang next door said that he borrowed seeds to have children, yes or no? When he asked this, Tu Xiancheng was even more panicked and said: "This is Lao Wang's mistake, and it is invalid testimony, so it is not included in this volume." ”

Shi Xun stared at his eyes tightly: "Are you sure that Lao Wang made a mistake?" Are you sure you rent a maid to have children, not borrow seeds to have children? Tu County Cheng said hesitantly: "Yes, it should be...... Since this case has been approved by the county, there should be no suspicion, and it is not good for Shangguan to turn it over and retry it......"

Shi Xun sneered: "The county surnamed Li Yizhong said to a certain person, it should be borrowed to have a child, and the Chinese person who signed the contract that day is himself - the prince of the government let me take care of it, if I insist on retrial, I will not stop the king of the house." What do you think? ”

With a "brush", the cold sweat on Tu Xiancheng's head came down, and his eyes couldn't help but glance at Geng County's order. But Geng Xianling sat next to him, raising his head as if he was distracted, so he refused to look at him at all. Shi Xun was about to ask Geng County Commander to send someone to call Li Quan to testify, when suddenly Wu Zhen hurriedly entered with a piece of bamboo in his hand, and reported in a low voice: "I found it, it's just ......."

It was Xun who snatched the piece of the shard. Wu Zhen's word "just" just now made him have a very bad premonition, so he instinctively didn't look at the words on the tablet first, but glanced at Tu Xiancheng obliquely. I saw that Tu Xiancheng's face was pale—this was three points more like a snowman—and his eyes were staring straight at Geng County's order; Then he followed his gaze and looked at Geng County Order, but saw that Geng County Order also swept his eyes at this time, and then nodded slightly.

Damn, it seems that there are not only county officials and county lieutenants in this case, but also the affairs of this county order, three official establishments in one county, and no one can run away from feelings. It was Xun who felt that he was reckless, if all the people in this county colluded to oppose him, then it would be a big trouble, and it would be even more difficult to turn over this case. He gasped, and then went to look at the piece in his hand, only to see that the contract was clearly written: Ning Tong "rented" the maidservant girl to the old Wang next door for a period of two years, and the Chinese person was not Li Quan, but a name that he didn't recognize at all-Liang Yun.

At that moment, he pointed to the piece: "Who is this 'Liang Yun'?" Tu Xiancheng hadn't answered yet, and Geng County Ling rushed to say: "I was originally a big surname in the county, but he couldn't avoid it when he made a rebellion in the Yellow Turban, and he was killed." ”

Killed? Okay, okay, there's no proof of it, right? Shi Xun turned over the piece of bamboo and looked at the sunlight projected by the window, and looked at it carefully, and sure enough, he found that there were many scratches on this contract - he still felt that the bamboo slips and wooden slips were easy to modify, which was a good thing, and it was also convenient to forge the text in a hurry!

When he thought about it, he couldn't help but ask: "It seems that there is a deletion, why not?" Geng County Ling replied confidently: "Rural people often use one thing for multiple purposes, and it is not surprising that they save materials." ”

It's Xun Xin who said to go to your country house, you are a country house, and your whole family is a country house! Ning Tong's family is so rich and has such an important contract, will he use the old slip to write it? Whom are you! Wait, if this is really just a rented maid, then it doesn't matter, and it makes sense to write it in old scripts...... Just rent a maidservant, do you need to write an extra copy and submit it to the county government for the record? Are you stupid?!

But he could only slander, but he couldn't scold -- after all, he didn't have real evidence. It's like holding a mouthful of phlegm in his throat, he can't cough it out, he can't swallow it, and he can't swallow it, and he feels uncomfortable all over his body, so he can't wait to kick a few cases on the spot, and then pull out a knife and chop the two hateful guys in front of him into scum......

This is the weakness of being a civil official, think about the ...... back then Ah no, it should be the future, Zhang Sanye ran to Leiyang to pick Pang Tong's fault, just like his current county, the loss is Sun Gan next to him, otherwise with the temper of the third master, why not go in with a white knife and come out with a red knife on the spot? It is not possible to change civilian officials, even if there is that force, there is no such arrogance and unreasonableness.

Yes Xun had no choice, so he had to repeat the old trick, look at the contract in his hand, then look at the Geng County Order, then look at the contract, and then look at the Geng County Order...... But that Geng County Order is much more cunning than Tu County Cheng, and his face has always maintained a still but not stiff, gentle but not flattering smile. Seeing that Shi Xun couldn't hold on anymore, fortunately Lu Hong next to him was relieved, he coughed lightly and said loudly: "The chief has been traveling here since the early morning, and he should be tired, why don't you rest for a while?" ”

So Shi Xun got off the donkey and nodded again and again: "Yes, I am indeed tired." He thought about it for a while, and took care of Geng County Ling and others: "You don't have to make the monarchs abolish their official affairs because I am here." And arrange a quiet room, let a certain rest for a while, and in the afternoon, if there is any consultation, and then summon the kings to come. ”

When he sat down in the side room, Shi Xun told Guan Si to be on guard around and not let others approach, and then threw the contract in front of Wu Zhen and asked him, "What are you doing now?" ”

Wu Zhen picked up the piece and was stunned for a long time before stammering and replied: "The traces of deletion are obvious, and there must be a traitor in this...... Chengyang County Ling, Cheng and others have always been corrupt and lawless, everyone in the county knows it, Shangguan is looking for the elders of the township to inquire, naturally ......"

Jixun interrupted him impatiently: "It's not that I don't believe you, I just ask you what to do now." Even if there are villagers who are not afraid of their power and dare to tell the truth, it is difficult to become evidence - besides, even Li Quan would rather come to testify rashly in a case, let alone others? Okay, now that they have changed the names of the Chinese people, even if they call Li Quanlai, it's useless......" He turned his head to look at Lu Hong: "Or, Mr. Lu go and check the accounts?" ”

Lu Hong smiled and shook his head: "I wonder if the chief has noticed the expressions of Geng and Tu?" According to a certain person, Natu County Cheng really didn't know that the contract had been modified, or Geng County ordered the chess to be high, and there was some prevention - although the chief came from the micro-service, but when it was spring, it was the period of the county, since Geng had been prepared in this matter, presumably the accounts must have been cut beyond recognition, right? ”

When Shi Xun heard this, his heart was even more irritable, and he couldn't help glaring at Wu Zhen fiercely. He said in his heart that if he had known that there was such a result, he would not listen to Wu Zhen's words and would not pursue the case, but now he is empty-handed and has no evidence, which makes him quite passive. Wu Jizhong, Wu Jizhong, I still think you are a resourceful person, you can use it as an arm, you just drop the chain for me?

After all, he was only fifteen or sixteen years old, younger than himself, all kinds of cunning in the officialdom, just such a junior high school or senior high school student, he knew a fart again!

Shixun couldn't help rubbing his hands and wandering around the room. Lu Hong looked at him, and then at Wu Zhen who was hanging his head next to him, and couldn't help but stroke his beard and laugh: "Don't worry, sir, there is still a plan available now." ”

Shi Xun hurriedly asked: "Will the plan be released?" ”

"Wait for the rabbit."
