Chapter 218: The Ins and Outs of Ascension to the Hall and the Verdict!
Dripβ
Sticky blood slid down the edge of the table.
The old man at the table closed his eyes in fear, and he could clearly feel the marks of the sword blade on his body.
Three of them didn't dare to move, as if acquiescing.
Zhang Feng wiped his sword and looked at them, "Since a few people don't have any opinions, then from today onwards, a few people will help make up for all the operations of the government office." β
Zhang Feng said this, looking at Sun Laocai's body, "Just as the shopkeeper Sun said, the people in the shopkeeper's mansion are from our Qiguang County, and the county government certainly supports it." Is the person from the county government of Qiguang County an outsider? How many shopkeepers don't support it? That doesn't seem to make sense, does it? β
"Yes.. Yes.." An old man nodded hurriedly, first representing support.
Anyway, no matter what, let's get out of this place of right and wrong first.
I couldn't say a word well, and I was beheaded by this new county magistrate.
'His last paperwork may be fake..' There are also old fortunes who feel that Zhang Feng does not look like a parent official in a place.
Now, if it weren't for the fact that Zhang Feng had a waist card on his side, and the previous county commander was indeed dead, a friend of his official in the city also mentioned to him that there was a new county order.
He thought that Zhang Feng was like a wanted criminal posted on the wall of the city gate!
But Zhang Feng didn't care what they thought.
At this time, seeing that everyone agreed, Zhang Feng asked the maid outside the house to summon Zhang Er and others through the door, and brought pen and ink.
The maid was very obedient from beginning to end and did not come in.
But when Zhang Er and the four came in with pen and ink, they were attracted by the bloody scene in front of them, and they were ready to draw their swords and surround Zhang Feng's side.
For a while, the sword soldiers rose again, listening to the 'sonorous' harsh sound.
It seemed to touch the nerves of the four old wealthies, making them even more frightened and afraid to look directly at the vicinity.
"Your Excellency!" Zhang Er stood in front of Zhang Feng and looked at the four old wealthy.
Looking at his posture, it was as if Zhang Feng had given an order, and these four people were about to fall to the ground.
However, when he looked at Sun Laocai's shaved neck and broken vertebrae, he also sighed that his master's martial arts were not shallow, and he was a good hand with a sword. It's just not surprising.
This is because most of the literati in this ghost world, although they are not as good as the masters who specialize in martial arts and cultivation, they have some kung fu to defend themselves.
Rustleβ
Zhang Feng took the pen and ink, but wrote a simple contract, and wrote all the conditions agreed to by the four old treasurers before.
When Zhang Er saw it, he took the food on the table to the side and moved the corpse away.
"Don't say I don't trust you."
Zhang Feng put away his pen and ink and glanced at the contract, "It's just that this matter is very important, and it is much better to write in black and white than to make a verbal promise." β
Zhang Feng saw that the contract was clear, so he pushed it in front of the table of the four old treasurers, "It is also written in black and white, and several people signed and signed it." If a few Yang Feng Yin violates the law in the future, he will be short of two pounds and two pounds for his own county government. A few people don't blame me Zhang Feng for ignoring the friendship at today's banquet and killing the killer. β
"That's what Master Zhang said!" The four old men hurriedly saluted, picked up the brush one by one, and wrote their names on the contract.
When it came time to press the mudra.
Zhang Feng pointed to the undried blood stains on the table, "Bloodstained painting, when the shopkeeper Sun also agreed." β
"Huh.." The four old fortunes nodded again, resisted their fear, dipped their fingers in blood, and pressed them on the contract.
Zhang Feng took it and looked at them, "A few shopkeepers go back and prepare, don't send it." β
"Lord Xie.." When the four of them heard Zhang Feng let him go, they breathed a sigh of relief and retreated together.
And as time passes.
Around eleven o'clock in the evening.
The master who was sleeping in the dungeon suddenly opened his eyes and looked around as if he had a nightmare.
But when he felt the warmth in the cell at this moment, and saw the warden who was dozing on the grass in front of him and was guarding the stove all the time, he suddenly remembered what happened before and knew that he had been saved.
"Master.." When the warden saw the master wake up, he also cheered up a little, and asked with rare concern: "But the temperature of the stove is too low?" Woke up from the cold? β
"No.." The master half-lifted the quilt on his body, and it was hot.
In order to keep the master away from the cold, the warden specially covered a thick quilt, wanting the master to sweat when he slept and go to the humidity in the cell.
So wake up the next morning, take a shower, change into clean clothes, and feel refreshed.
"Where's your lord?" The master didn't care about this, but only asked where the new county magistrate was, wanting to express his gratitude.
The warden did not hide it, and said that Zhang Feng had a banquet for five old fortunes in the county office.
Because with the previous catchers, they went to invite five old wealthy.
Such a 'big move' will, of course, reach the ears of the warden.
But he doesn't know exactly how it will be, what the process will be.
When the master heard that, he turned over and wanted to find the new county magistrate.
He was afraid that Zhang Feng would talk about words and suffer the loss of these five local old foxes.
Just waited for a change of clothes, got out of the cell, and got into the good horse prepared by the warden.
When he came to the county office, he caught the report and took him into the courtyard, but he saw that the new county magistrate was reading a book in the hall.
He stood outside the hall and sighed softly, knowing that the matter was over.
But when he came to the hall and smelled a smell of blood that had not dissipated, he was stunned for a moment, feeling that things might have just begun.
"Your Excellency.."
He came in and saluted, wanting to say that he would not come in person.
"Sir came just in time." Zhang Feng put down the books in this world and looked at the master, "Please take a seat, I have something I want to ask sir." β
"Your Excellency is serious." When the master heard Zhang Feng ask him something, he sat down gently, straightened his body, and listened attentively.
Nothing is left behind.
Zhang Feng didn't say anything about the five old wealthies, but asked in other words: "I heard someone talk about the 'Zhao family's murder of the husband' before, have you ever heard of it?" Or do you want to know about it? β
"The Zhao family killed the husband.." When the master heard this, he frowned for a moment, "Three of my achievements in prison this time were caused by investigating this case. is because Zhao was caught by the 'Xing shopkeeper', and the Xing shopkeeper is a friend of the altar catcher, so this matter is very complicated and difficult to say. It's not just Zhao's virtue.."
When the master said this, he didn't know that this intricate relationship was related to the interests of morality and ethics.
He always felt insulted.
Zhang Feng saw his master like this, but for some reason, he suddenly remembered Ximen Qing in the Water Margin, and asked for a while: "Is it the shopkeeper Xing who seduced the Zhao family, and the Zhao family poisoned his husband?" β
"This.." When the master heard the word 'poison', he immediately showed an expression of amazement, and waved his hand at Zhang Fengyi and said: "The adult only listened to the student's two or three words, and pointed to the key suspicions of this case, and the student sighed to himself!" β
"Hmm." Zhang Feng was calm, his expression did not change, but he didn't expect that he really guessed correctly.
This Zhao family really came from the shopkeeper of Xing, and came to the scene of Wu Dalang, who gave medicine to the adulterer, and she fed the soup.
Then the head of the altar will come out and fill in the case.
