Chapter 49: Entanglement

Everyone entered the Dali Temple, sat in the hall again, and waited in that hall.

If you add the officials who can shout 'mighty' left and right, Li Hongru feels that this place is similar to the county government.

Directly in front of that there are the words "Qin Mirror Hanging".

These four characters are extremely heavy and full of the meaning of killing, alerting the judges and deterring the perpetrators.

It is rumored that a thousand years ago there was a powerful dynasty, and the ruler of the Qin Emperor had a mirror that could see people's hearts and see everything.

This allusion was later used as a metaphor for officials who are good at interrogating cases and prisons, and judging cases fairly and strictly.

And the current emperor also had the name of King Qin in his early years, and these four words also complement each other at this time.

After waiting for less than ten minutes, everyone heard a chime ring outside Dali Temple.

Someone then shouted, 'The culprit has arrived,' and the voice came far away, but then it got closer.

When the sound of chains dragging the floor came into his ears, Li Hongru also saw the people in Zhu's Pharmacy before.

There was a sturdy man in the inner room reception, two pharmacist apprentices, and a thin old man.

The strong man did not struggle, and walked around honestly.

The two pharmacist apprentices struggled a little, and they slapped them a few times, their faces swollen to the height, and they cried loudly again.

And the thin old man is someone Li Hongru has never seen before.

This is probably to arrest all the people involved in the operation of Zhu's Pharmacy at this time.

Seeing Li Hongru, Li Dan, and many characters wearing Confucian costumes with extraordinary temperament, the sturdy man's eyes flashed a little panic, and he suddenly understood the reason for the matter.

"Zhu Zhanpeng, you are guilty!"

When the sturdy man was a little flustered, Pei Shao in the hall woke up.

'Smack'

The deafening voice sounded, and it was also accompanied by Pei Shao's extremely direct question.

It's a simple case.

It is impossible for Wang Fuchou and others to specifically lie and report the case, and it is impossible for them to use Jingbai jade to create a fake jade to get other people's property.

Confession, finding accounts, verdict, closing the case.

The process performed by Dali Temple will be simple.

"My lord, I don't know what crime Xiaomin has committed, please make it clear!"

When the sturdy man's body trembled a little, he asked hard.

"The jade that you are greedy for ink is a gift from Dr. Wang Fuchou to the students, and at this time, you still don't recruit everything from the truth?"

Pei Shao shouted, woke up and shot again, so shocked that Li Hongru almost jumped.

"My lord, the people are wronged" Zhu Zhanpeng shouted: "That day, this person needed to treat the injured, and he couldn't get the money, so he took a piece of jade and insisted on mortgaging it to me, and replaced it with a jar of medicine and wine for bruises." ”

Zhu Zhanpeng didn't hide it at this time, and told the story of that day.

This made Pei Shao understand a little more.

He glanced at Wang Fuchou and Li Hongru slightly, and saw that neither of them made a sound, but he also knew that the two had no objections at this time.

"But I'm not a professional pawnshop, where can I tell what Nayu is for a while" Zhu Zhanpeng said: "I was just kind enough to treat his item for a while, but I didn't know that this item would bring me a big disaster." ”

He looked as flustered as before, but he also explained things directly.

"What he gave me at that time, I gave him what I gave back, and the jade was locked in a drawer by me, and I never touched it."

After a few sentences, Zhu Zhanpeng directly began to deny it and shirked the matter.

This made Pei Shao's brows furrow slightly.

"You lie" Pei Shao said in a deep voice: "At this time, if you are truthfully invited, you can suffer less flesh and skin, if you resist, you will complain about the harsh punishment of this official." ”

"My lord, I'm wronged, I just passed my hand a little, how can this kind of thing come to my head~"

Zhu Zhanpeng exhaled, and then screamed.

"This is someone else's mistake, and I want my surname Zhu to serve the pot."

As he muttered, he began to wipe away his tears, singing and harmonizing with the two pharmacist apprentices, whimpering in the hall.

"Lord Wang, what do you see?"

Zhu Zhanpeng shirked and let the case go in another direction.

More importantly, Nayu was not found in the pharmacy during the inspection of Dali Temple.

If the stolen goods are obtained together, the case can be closed directly.

But at this point, it still takes a lot of effort.

Pei Shao believed in Wang Fuchou, and it was impossible for the other party to find trouble.

However, Pei Shao did not put an end to the possibility mentioned by Zhu Zhanpeng, Zhu Zhanpeng may indeed be in temporary custody, and the case involves a third party.

"Tell me!"

Wang Fuchou frowned slightly, and then looked at Li Hongru.

With their status, Li Hongru can sit and speak at this time.

If there is no backstage, Li Hongru will have to suffer this loss, even if he wants to beat the drum, it will be difficult.

And as time passes, it is impossible to find out the case.

At this time, they are the active party, and Li Hongru also needs to make all the evidence involved more favorable to them, so as not to fall into passivity.

"Master Pei finished the case of the Night Demon Yan Demon Monk three days ago, and the teacher saw that I had a bit of fate, so he took me into his disciple and gave me a piece of Nayu at that time."

Li Hongru got up, stood in front of the hall, and began to speak without hurrying or slow.

"Bearing the impact of the demon monk's Dharma, I can't help but walk around when I recover from a serious illness, and when I see Zhu's Pharmacy, I can't help but want to go in and have a look to increase my knowledge."

"It's just that when I didn't want to come out of the inner hall, I happened to bump into my eldest brother Li Dan Lianwu who was seriously injured and lying on the ground."

"I didn't have any money on me at that time, so I had to use Nayu as collateral and ask for that big pot of medicinal wine."

"After that, I went home with my eldest brother, stayed to collect money, and quickly ran towards Zhu's pharmacy."

"The time was only three hours, but there was no Zhu Zhanpeng in Zhu's Pharmacy at that time, and it was nearly an hour before I saw him and redeemed Nayu."

"Since then, I have been studying at home, and I have been studying at my teacher's place to this day."

Li Hongru said eloquently.

His account is closer to Zhu Zhanpeng.

But Li Hongru also mentioned several key points.

Except for the mortgage behavior at Zhu's pharmacy, his Nayu has no experience of contact with other people.

The time is very short, and the case must have happened in Zhu's pharmacy.

He even mentioned the time of Zhu Zhanpeng's activities.

"Bold wishes Zhanpeng!"

"Please be aware and clear the grievances of the villain!"

When Pei Shao shouted, Zhu Zhanpeng had already kowtowed on the ground again and again.

It made his brow furrow.

Zhu Zhanpeng is obviously a well-informed old fritter, fully cooperating with the interrogation, but he has taken himself out of the matter.

If Li Hongru's narrative had not been wrong, the case would have happened in those four hours.

He looked at the fake jade that had been partially burned in his hand.

This is the only evidence in hand at this time.

has a relationship with Wang Fuchou and others, and he will naturally not be biased towards Zhu Zhanpeng's guidance when trying the case.

"In four hours, there are not many people in the area who can do this kind of thing."

Pei Shao thought for a moment.

In the middle of the ring, he whispered a note.

When the clerk found the information and turned the pages, he immediately called two names.
