Shi Zhifu nodded and said: "What Lord Xuezheng said is that it is okay under the rule of the lower officials, let such old stubbornness cause you trouble, and please forgive Lord Xuezheng." ”

Kong Xuezheng is a third-grade official, two levels higher than him, the fourth-rank prefect. Originally, after the list was released, he, the prefect, should arrange a banquet for Jinke Xiucai and thank Kong Xuezheng for his teacher. But because of the Tong family's affairs, Shi Zhifu was so busy that he didn't have time to sleep, and the original banquet was not placed, so he had already neglected Kong Xuezheng, and now he had to deal with this kind of, it was really ...... Shi Zhifu scolded Cao Juren again in his heart.

Shi Zhifu suppressed the anger in his heart and said to his criminal master: "Master Lin, you go to Shen Tong to sentence, take the backup files of Yuan Jiaman, Fei's case, and Li family's case to the court, and we will solve it quickly." ”

Linhe Mansion is the capital of Jianghuai, and the major case files of each Jianghuai Prefecture will be copied and sent to Linhe Mansion, so Linhe Mansion has a file of the case of the old Gu family. This dossier is evidence, and if you take it out, you can block Cao Juren's mouth, and you don't have to fight with him anymore.

"Yes." Master Lin has also been so tired that his eyelids have been fighting these days, so he pinched his thigh, and after sobering himself up, he arched his hand towards the two adults and went to Shen Tong to get the file.

Shi Zhifu and Kong Xuezheng also took a few officials and scribes to the court.

Cao Juren was very excited when he saw Shi Governor's Mansion, and immediately stood up and said, "Lord Prefect ......"

But as soon as he shouted, the prefect was interrupted by the prefect: "The scribe has already recorded a confession for you, and the government will read the confession, so you don't have to say much." ”

Cao Juren was about to make a generous speech when he was interrupted by the Shi Governor's Mansion, his face turned green, he was very embarrassed, relying on his old age, and continued: "Lord Prefect, it's not that the old man wants to rely on the old man and sell the old, but our Jianghuai court head, Xiao Sanyuanlang, can't be an unfilial and poisonous grandson who murdered his grandfather." ”

With a snap, Shi Zhifu was shocked, his eyes were cold, he stared at Cao Juren, and warned: "Cao Juren, although you are a lifter and an old man, you can't convict people with empty mouths and white teeth." You said that Gu Jinan murdered Old Man Gu, do you have any evidence? If there is no evidence, it is a false accusation, and if it is serious, your fame can be taken away. ”

Cao Juren cares most about his own fame, and he was a little scared when he heard this, but when things got to the point where he couldn't afford to lose, he could only continue to hold on.

But Cao Juren really has no evidence to prove that Gu Jin'an's family murdered Old Man Gu, he would say this, it was all Tong San told him.

Tong San said that Old Man Gu's whereabouts are unknown now, and even if he can't see anyone, then they can turn this murder that he can't see anyone alive into a dead body, so that Gu Jin'an's reputation can be ruined and his reputation can be robbed.

What they want is not to convict Gu Jinan of murdering Old Man Gu at all, but to ruin his reputation and future.

And this crime of murdering Old Man Gu's life and making Old Man Gu die without seeing his body is much bigger than the crime of unfilial piety of Gu Jin'an's family.

"Lord Prefect, although the old man has no evidence, there must be a reason for the groundless wind, this word actually came out, it must be something that Gu Jin'an's family did, and I also ask the prefect to accept the case, investigate this matter thoroughly, and give the old man Gu justice." Cao Ju is humane.

Shi Zhifu laughed angrily: "Cao Juren, you just rely on one mouth, and you don't even have a little evidence to ask the government to send someone to investigate the case, do you know how busy the government is now?" If everyone is like you, just say a word and ask the government to investigate the case, and the government will not have enough 100,000 servants! ”

Angry with him, what kind of old demon is this? Specially take advantage of the fact that he is busy dying and coming back to make trouble for him, right, can you let him go? He is now about to be overwhelmed by the affairs of the Tong family's iron mine, where can he have spare time to take care of such an empty matter.

But Cao Juren felt that Shi Zhifu was helping Gu Jin'an, so he was even more angry, and said with a stiff neck: "How can this be called groundless?" If it weren't true, then how could Gu Jinan be so scared that he didn't show up? ”

He pointed to Shang Xiucai in the hall and said, "If you only let his master come forward, he must not dare to come!" ”

"My lord, Gu Jin'an of He'an Mansion asks to see you!" Gu Jin'an's loud voice sounded at the gate of the mansion, he walked to the public hall with his head held high with a steady step, knelt down and said: "The students meet the prefect and the students, the students are late, and I ask the two adults to forgive their sins." ”

He said to Shang Xiucai again: "The apprentice is late, so the master suffers, and the apprentice is not filial." ”

Governor Shi and Kong Xuezheng breathed a sigh of relief when they saw him coming, and said, "Get up, you are already a talent, and you don't need to bow down again." ”

"Thank you, students, for your grace." Gu Jinan got up, but didn't sit down, but walked to Shang Xiucai and stood beside him, without even giving Cao Juren a look the whole time.

Cao Ju's popularity was bad, this madman didn't take him, an old filial and honest man, so seriously.

He pointed at Gu Jin'an and said, "You poisonous grandson who plotted to kill your grandfather, why don't you kneel down quickly and apologize to heaven and earth!" ”

Gu Jinan looked at Cao Juren, and shook his head with a disappointed face, this appearance made Cao Juren even more shameless, and when he was about to scold Gu Jinan, Gu Jinan said: "Cao Juren, although you are a senior, if you have to talk about evidence, let's use evidence to speak, you don't need to say anything else, you don't believe it." ”

The implication is that he is too lazy to talk nonsense with him.

Cao Ju was so angry that his eyes turned red with grievances, and he felt that he was too disrespected.

Seeing this, Cao Juren's students looked at Shi Zhifu with two meritorious figures, and were about to speak when they were interrupted by a startled voice.

snapped twice, Shi Zhifu said: "Don't talk nonsense, let's look at the evidence." ”

In a word, the two students of Cao Juren were frightened and shrank back.

Not long after, Shen Tongju and Master Lin came with the files, and Shi Zhifu pointed to these files and said: "Cao Juren, take a look for yourself, the file about the old Gu family's case is here, the evidence is conclusive, and the final whereabouts of Old Man Gu and Gu Youfu are also clearly written, they were not murdered by Gu Jin'an's family, let alone the dead and the corpse is not seen." ”

Cao Juren didn't believe it, and took a group of students to start carefully checking the file, and after reading it for an hour, he almost went berserk to the prefect's mansion.

In the end, he couldn't help it, and said: "Song Bantou, Cao Juren, they have already read it twice, and they can see it clearly enough, so put the file away." ”

stared at the shocked Cao Judao again: "This is the file of the government office, I have already shown it to you, Cao Juren doesn't want to get an inch." ”

Even said that he had to make inches of progress, and Cao Juren didn't dare to ask to continue watching.

But he still didn't give up, and said with a shameful face: "Shi Zhifu, Old Man Gu is dead now, and the government can't ignore it, you must send someone to find it, so as not to be harmed by some poisonous wolf cubs!" ”

Shi Zhifu wanted to beat someone when he heard it, and the third old lady Yan also wanted to beat him when he heard it, but before he stepped into the gate of the mansion, he raised his voice and said: "Cao Fangshan, you are a dignified person, and you actually did such a shameless thing, are you still a little ashamed?!" ”
