Yu Xuanzi knelt in the yamen and confessed to all the accusations of Ma Fuhu, he not only handed over the twenty taels of honorarium given to him by Ma Fuhu intact, but even added a lot of details about the content of the case.

For example, what was the weather on the day he met Ma Fuhu, what kind of vegetables were planted next to the Wang family's cemetery, and he was still sitting on the ground at that time, but Ma Fuhu refused to raise the price, etc.

The county official was dumbfounded, it was the first time in seven or eight years in charge of the county that he had encountered such a calm and frank criminal, not only did he not hide it, but he was also afraid that he would not be able to make his own crimes, and he sighed at the moment that if he could encounter such a suspect in every case, he estimated that he could grow a few catties of meat.

The human and material evidence was complete, and the county official felt like he was going through the motions, and pronounced the verdict in the court: "Okay, this case has been investigated, and the government is now ......."

"Uh-huh!"

As soon as the county official said this, suddenly the black-clothed man beside Bai Jinyu coughed vigorously, and stood in a conspicuous place at the door very strangely. The county magistrate was interrupted, and immediately looked at the yamen with an annoyed face.

When he looked at it clearly, he immediately looked tense and stood up from his seat. Bai Jinyu's eyes were bright, and he confirmed that this man in black was definitely not simple, maybe eighty percent of it was the top of this county official.

He should have heard the news that Yu Xuanzi was arrested by the county government like them, so he rushed here to rescue. It's just that it happened suddenly, and when he got the news, the county official had already been promoted, and he didn't have time to inform the county official, so he could only appear outside his yamen and wait for the opportunity to mention the county official in this way.

The man in black immediately returned to normal, and the county magistrate saw that he did not reveal his identity, so he sat down again with understanding, and turned to stare at the fat Taoist under the hall and made a difficulty.

It's so difficult to be a sesame petty official around the capital. The officials and the senior officials are crushing people to death, and the high-ranking officials around the Jingshi are blooming everywhere, and everyone's face has to be watched carefully, even such a smooth case today will be interfered with.

The county magistrate thought about it for a long time, and felt that it was still inappropriate to make a judgment on the spot, so it was better to use the word "drag" to ask the opinions of his superiors before speaking. So he changed his tone and said: "This government still feels that there are many strange things in this case, so I will take all the people down first, and then try it at a later date!" ”

As soon as he heard this, Yu Xuanzi, who was originally convinced that he had to go to prison, exploded directly, and said: "Why do you have to choose another day for a retrial?" Didn't my confession match theirs? Isn't the evidence conclusive? The plaintiff is also here, and I also plead guilty to the law, county magistrate, what else do you not know? ”

He asked Ma Fuhu and Wang Xiucai on the left and right, "Is there anything else you don't know?" If you don't know, say it now, and I'll answer you one by one! ”

This is really a rare spectacle in a hundred years, and some people are eager to convict themselves. Not only were the county officials in the yatang confused, but almost all the officials, catchers, and people watching the excitement were unbelievable, and they all talked about it one after another.

"Dao Chief, the county magistrate is right, this case is indeed very strange!" A crisp voice suddenly sounded from outside the yamen, and people looked at each other, and the person who spoke was Bai Jinyu.

When the helpless county magistrate heard this, he immediately asked her in a loud voice like a savior, "Who is talking here?" ”

Bai Jinyu was about to step forward, Feng Chen gently grabbed her, she gently withdrew her hand and comforted softly: "It's okay." ”

Feng Chen let go of his hand and did not forget to advise: "Be careful." ”

Bai Jinyu let out an "um" and walked alone to an entrance opened for her by the officials.

Several people kneeling in the hall turned around to look at her together, and when the jade Xuanzi saw that it was Bai Jinyu walking up, he instantly tensed up, and his face was distorted in shock.

Bai Jinyu stood up to face the county official in the hall, and just as he was about to kneel, the county official had already said: "No courtesy, I just heard what the girl said and seemed to understand the meaning of the official." ”

Bai Jinyu couldn't break the smile, what the county official just said "something is strange" was obviously a prevarication, but now he said that she "seemed to understand what he meant", obviously just wanted to hear her opinion.

Of course, Bai Jinyu told her honestly, after all, this was what she came here for.

She didn't hurry, her eyes fell on Yu Xuanzi, and asked, "You asked Ma Fuhu to build this tombstone?" ”

Yu Xuanzi said awe-inspiringly: "Yes! "The look is not fake.

Bai Jinyu smiled, no longer looked at him, and said to the county official without giving in: "Lord Hui, as far as the people know, Taoist priests who break the law are not just guilty of being like the people. According to the 21st article of the third chapter of the precepts promulgated by the ancestor for the people of the Xuanmen during the Qianchen period, if a Taoist priest commits the crime of inciting the public and ignoring the Taoist body, he must first be reprimanded by the palace to which he belongs and expelled from the Taoist book. ”

"Dao Chief, am I right?" Speaking of this, Bai Jinyu specially turned around and asked Yu Xuanzi who was kneeling on the ground.

Yu Xuanzi narrowed her eyes and stared at Bai Jinyu, who was clear and unambiguous, trying her best to understand the intention behind her words.

"Daoist of the hall, is what this woman said true?" The county magistrate asked Yu Xuanzi.

Yu Xuanzi withdrew his gaze from Bai Jinyu's face and admitted, "Not bad." ”

Bai Jinyu nodded with satisfaction, and said: "Therefore, as a superior real person with a dignified view of departure, Daoist Yu Xuanzi will definitely not do such a bad thing that violates morals and morals, bad religion and ruins, right?" At the end, she raised her eyebrows and looked at Yu Xuanzi.

Huo Ran of the crowd let out an exclamation, and the county officials were also taken aback, the name of Yu Xuanzi has been thunderous recently, could it be that the fat Taoist priest under this hall is the real person of Yu Xuanzhen who has just been canonized by the saint, and the secretary of the Ministry of Rites?

Tricky and tricky.

This Yu Xuanzi committed the case before he took office, how can he be good now, and whether he will be convicted or not?

Onlookers whispered earnestly.

"This Taoist is a Taoist priest who leaves the country!"

"It's not an ordinary Taoist priest, but it's still a real person......

"The departure view is the authentic sect of the Xuanmen, why does this person do such a thing?"

"Who knows, no wonder it's weird!"

……

Yu Xuanzi looked at Bai Jinyu, her fleshy face was blue and white for a while, the beads of sweat on her head flowed down like beans, and the look of fear in her eyes became stronger and stronger.

Bai Jinyu looked at him and continued: "I don't think Daoist Yu Xuanzi will definitely take the hundred-year-old reputation of the Departure View," she paused deliberately and said, "My own future, just kidding, right?" ”

This is Bai Jinyu's fourth question.

Yu Xuanzi began to tremble, trembling like a knife: "What are you doing? ”

The county magistrate also asked, "What do you say, girl?" ”

Bai Jinyu no longer looked at Yu Xuanzi, stepped forward, walked to the tombstone of the Ma family dug up from the Wang's land, and read the words on the tablet to everyone again: "First examine the tomb of Ma Gong Tianpei...... Taikang Jiazi is established. ”

Bai Jinyu read this and stopped abruptly.

The yamen waited for her in silence.

"This," the magistrate asked, "what's wrong?" ”

Bai Jinyu put his hands behind his back, thought for a while, and said loudly: "If the people's daughter is not mistaken, there was not a Jiazi year in the twenty-eight years of the reign of Emperor Taikang of the previous dynasty. ”

The voice fell, and the audience whispered.

Feng Chen looked at the figure that stood with his hands and talked eloquently, and suddenly felt that he seemed to have returned to a certain moment seven years ago, and was reminiscing, Bai Jinyu turned around and smiled at him with relief, reality and memories seemed to overlap again, and it was a little unreal.

After listening to what Bai Jinyu said, the county official immediately looked around and waved to a servant beside him: "Quick, quickly get the almanaca with this official!" ”

The official was ordered to retreat, but in half a moment he retrieved a yellowed almanac. The official dusted off the book and handed it to the county magistrate, who immediately sat down at the desk and quickly flipped through it.

But after a while, the county official's body shook up, and he exclaimed in exclamation: "Really! There really isn't a Jiazi year in Taikangma! ”

There was a neat sigh of admiration in the audience, and when the eyes of the audience focused on Bai Jinyu, many people also looked at Feng Chen.

"Is this your lady? That's amazing! ”

"Isn't such a lady very powerful at home?"

"Yes, for sure, you see that she can even remember the events of more than three hundred years so clearly, and the accounts and money of the Xianggong are not managed to death!"

"Oh, a woman's lack of talent is virtue, such a wife is so terrible to be around."

"Hey, we said your wife, why didn't you react at all?!"

"It's just, I guess the two of them shouldn't have any feelings."

……

In the midst of the crowd, Feng Chen said: "My lady is very good, I like it very much." ”

"Yo !!" The crowd surrounded Fengchen and let out a burst of exclamations of good deeds, causing Bai Jinyu to also look back, and was about to ask something, when the county magistrate had already asked her: "So in this way, Daoist Yu Xuanzi did it deliberately?" ”

Bai Jinyu turned around and said solemnly: "That's right, Daoist Yu Xuanzi is a superior real person with a view of departure, eliminating evil and promoting good, being righteous, and has a good reputation. He must have seen this rich man bullying the poor people, so he saw that he was uneven and pulled out his sword to help, and came up with this clever plan to send this rich man to the government. ”

Bai Jinyu looked at the earth-colored Jade Xuanzi with playful eyes, and felt the pleasure of revenge.

"So, why did Daoist Yu Xuanzi want to confess the law just now?" The county magistrate asked.

Bai Jinyu pointed to Changyi at the door and said: "I just heard that little Taoist priest at the door say that recently, a group of believers have been pestering Daoist Yuxuanzi all day long in the departure view, and they are not making trouble for him to accept apprentices, and the Taoist chief is avoiding these people, so he is eager to find a clean place here for the county magistrate." Otherwise, you can ask the little Taoist priest. ”

Before the county official could ask, Changyi had already shouted at the door: "County official, this is indeed the case!" ”

Bai Jinyu looked at Changyi with great appreciation, he deserved to be the best among the young generation of the departure view, and his consciousness was high.

The problem was so easily solved, and the county magistrate was also amnesty, so he hurriedly got up from the hall and walked out, picked up Yu Xuanzi with both hands, and said humbly: "Yu Xuanzhen, why didn't you say it earlier?" This official really almost misjudged the good guy. The Taoist chief doesn't want to accept apprentices, so he can't go out, so he doesn't have to make such a decision! ”

"Where, where," Yu Xuanzi glanced at Bai Jinyu, who was smiling and crooked, and said helplessly to the county official: "This way is confused for a while, and I hope the county official will forgive me!" ”

At that moment, the county magistrate announced that Ma Fuhu was sentenced to the county government prison for 30 boards, the Ma family raised the ancestors, and the cemetery was returned to Wang Xiucai, and Yu Xuanzi was acquitted on the spot.

Bai Jinyu led the unharmed but sullen Yu Xuanzi out of the yamen, and Changyi was so happy that he almost jumped up.

Yu Xuanzi reprimanded coldly: "What are you happy about? Are there any rules for monks? "I hate him for not understanding himself at all.

Changyi hurriedly restrained his joy, remembering that he hadn't thanked Bai Jinyu yet, thinking that Yu Xuanzi was reprimanding him for this, so he arched his hand and said to Bai Jinyu: "Thank you Niangniang for your help, Changyi is also here on behalf of the abbot Thank you Niangniang!" ”

Yu Xuanzi pulled Changyi and said angrily: "What qualifications do you have to replace the abbot?" Why do you want to thank her, I don't allow you to thank her! ”

Changyi lowered his hand and said in confusion: "Why is this, the Taoist can clear today's grievances all because of Niangniang's righteous words?" ”

"You, what do you know?" Yu Xuanzi's face was flushed with anger, and she stomped her feet and said, "She's going to kill me, you know?" Who wants her to save! I'm one step away from going to jail, and maybe I'll be kicked out of the door...... Now it's all ruined by her!! ”

Bai Jinyu couldn't stop laughing, admired Yu Xuanzi's anger for a while, suddenly remembered something, and asked Fengchen: "Why didn't you see that man in black again after leaving the yamen?" ”

"Gone."

"Gone?" Bai Jinyu asked, "Who is he?" ”

Feng Chen frowned.

Bai Jinyu said: "What's the matter?" ”

Feng Chen was silent for a moment, looked at her solemnly and said, "He is Han Yan." ”

Bai Jinyu was shocked: "Han Yan?!! ”

That Han Yan, the criminal department Shangshu who bought the Shike test questions?

That's not right, she and Fengchen rescued Linlang from the Qinglou half a month ago, and Linlang should have already bought the question from Emperor Bingming Han Yan!

Why is he still safe and sound, and he can still accompany the emperor to leave the country?

Feng Chen saw Bai Jinyu's confusion and said in a low voice, "Linlang is dead." ”

Bai Jinyu was incredulous: "When?" ”

At this time, Yu Xuanzi, who was walking in front, suddenly turned around and asked her angrily: "Taikang Jiazi year?" Hmph, the princess is the one you asked the stonemason to carve this and this year name! ”
