In March, the spring breeze went down to Jiangdong, and the city was red overnight.

The peach blossoms and the branches are smiling, and the catkins are congratulating.

Carrying a pot and drinking leisurely, he talked endlessly about drinking idiots.

Drunk to make rosé blush, live up to the good day and live up to the spring.

In the back garden of Xufu, the peach blossoms are still in the air, the fragrance is wisps, the spring flowers of the Yutang are full of trees, the green grass is Chen, and the flowers are gorgeous, but it is a pity that the lonely fang appreciates itself, no one cares, only to caress the dream in the Lin Pavilion, drink the wine alone, enjoy the spring color of the garden, he misses Ziying, takes out the sachet she gave and looks at it, smells and smells.

"Master, Ah Diao is not in the mansion." The servant said, Xu Zhao frowned, and asked where the person was, and the servant said: "The slave hasn't seen him for a few days." Xu Zhao scolded a few words angrily, and ordered him to find it quickly, and the servants searched for most of the day, but still did not find the figure of Ah Diao, Xu Zhao was puzzled, and the servant guessed: "Master, Ah Diao has complained to you a lot in recent days, could it be... Could it be that this guy escaped..."

Xu Zhao stared at him and asked fiercely, "What did he say?!" The servant slurped: "He said that you are ruthless, sir, no... He doesn't remember the love of the master and servant of the past, he saddles the horse and waits.." Xu Zhao was furious and scolded: "What a slave who doesn't know the times! You bring a few more people to get him back, and see that I don't break his legs!" Find it! The servant retreated, turned the city upside down, and searched for three whole days but still did not find Diao.

"My lord, you have to protect the little slave, I can't go back to the Xu Mansion now." Ah Diao was afraid of words and begged Chen Tong to save his life. Since the last East Window incident, Ah Diao has gradually lost Xu Zhao's trust in him, and at first he could send him to do some inconsequential housework, but later arranged for him to work as a handyman in the room, which made him disappointed and lost face.

The big red man around the old man actually fell into this step, and the big guy mocked and teased him from time to time, and when he suffered such humiliation, all this made him resentful and hidden in his belly.

Although Ah Diao is a sinister and vicious villain, he is very ambitious, unscrupulous and unscrupulous if he does not achieve his goal, and he will not give up.

The angry Ah Diao was unwilling to be wronged and sink, and he drank and got drunk every day, but secretly he kept planning conspiracies, and when the time was ripe, he would break through his heart, which would inevitably make Xu Zhao suffer a lot.

"Is what you say true? If you deceive at all, not only will the official not be able to protect you, but you will also have to suffer a lawsuit because of this. Chen Tong warned with heavy eyebrows, Ah Diao seemed to be panicked, but then he said that in view of his meritorious report, Chen Tong left him in the mansion for the time being, so as not to be arrested by Xu Zhao.

One day, Xu Xianglin was reading the scriptures and history in the study, but Chen Xiu hurriedly pushed the door in, Xiang Lin saw that he was a little flustered, and hurriedly asked the reason, Chen Xiuyan said: "Brother, is there a servant named Ah Diao in the house?" Xiang Lin Yan: "There is indeed such a person, but he has disappeared recently, and my father is sending people to look for him." Chen Xiu hurriedly whispered: "My brother doesn't know, this person is now at home." ”

Ah Diao sued Xu Zhao behind his back, but Chen Tong did not arrest him for a long time, Chen Xiu overheard the conversation between Ah Diao and his father, and suddenly felt that something was wrong, so he hurried to the house to inform Xiang Lin. Xiang Lin repeatedly asked if he had made the wrong person, Chen Xiu listened to it sincerely, was very sure, and said: "By the way, this person sounds like a eunuch when he speaks." Xiang Lin was stunned when he heard this, and he was even more convinced that it was Ah Diao, and with his eunuch-like tone, I am afraid that I will not be able to find a second person in ten miles and eight villages.

Xiang Lin thought about it and looked sad, because he knew that Ah Diao was a human nature, and once he reported the crimes committed by his father Xu Zhao in the past, the consequences would be unimaginable, but it was too late, and Ah Diao's plan to take revenge had already begun. Xiang Lin hurriedly told his father about the matter, Xu Zhao was shocked when he heard this, and a sip of tea almost squirted out of the hall, and then he scolded, and his anger seemed to overturn the roof of the hall.

Xiang Lin couldn't think of a perfect countermeasure for a while, so he could only wait and see what happened, and then deal with it, Xu Zhao couldn't wait to break the body of Adiao, an ungrateful and shameless villain, into pieces, but that was the Chen Mansion, how could he dare to ask for someone from Chen Tong's hands, he could only stare dryly, but there was no way.

Finally, seven days later, Chen Tong sent officials to arrest Xu Zhao, Xu Zhao couldn't sleep for the past seven days, his heart was frightened, his temples were messy, and his limbs were soft, and he didn't know how to deal with it. Xu told Lin Jishu that Feng Ziying and Qinglian were specially instructed that if they were summoned by the Yamen, Ziying must not show up, and Qinglian also advised her to hide from Master Xu, but Ziying insisted on going to the court to meet the official.

"Ziying, how are you..."Ziying and Qinglian's mother and daughter hurriedly walked into the lobby, and saw how Ziying had also come to Lin's side, and she chuckled in her heart, adding a little more anxiety for no reason. Xu Zhao also saw her, as if he was surging with anger, and he was shocked to ask, Chen Tong was shocked, and said: "I received the complaint today, Feng Ziying's unjust case three months ago, there is another hidden secret in it, and you are hereby summoned to the court for questioning and retrial of this case!" Brother Xu, as the magistrate of a county, this official should be honest and honest in the court. Xu Zhaolian said yes.

Chen Tong cleared his throat and asked, "Master Xu, someone has accused you of wanting to murder the daughter of the Wang family, Qinglian, with the poison of a hundred flowers scattered in this case, can you plead guilty?" Xu Zhao's eyes were full of anger, and he lowered his head and replied: "My lord, who framed me like this, please bring it to the court to confront you face to face." Xiang Lin continued: "My lord, what my father said is very true, there are people who need to have physical evidence to interrogate the case in court, or bring the person who complained to the court and ask him face to face." In desperation, Chen Tong summoned the witnesses into the court.

Ah Diao was still bent as usual, as if he was used to it, and after going to the hall, he quickly glanced at Xu Zhao, and then knelt down and bowed his head, trying his best to hide the fear on his face and the panic in his heart. Even though Ah Diao was huddled into a ball, Chen Tong still recognized his minion appearance, and scolded angrily: "Dog minion, see if I don't pick your skin!" As he spoke, he was about to kick over, but Diao turned sideways and wanted to dodge, Chen Tongtang waved his wood, and the left and right officials stepped forward and grabbed Xu Zhao.

Chen Tong scolded: "Xu Zhao! How can witnesses be beaten in court! Licentious! Chen Tong also seemed to be a little angry, especially against those who didn't take him seriously. Xu Zhao turned around and stopped, and then looked at Ah Diao's appearance, kneeling and trembling with his hands and feet.

"Don't be intimidated by others, and have the right to tell you what you are complaining about." Ah Diao trembled, and told the ins and outs of the case again, Xu Zhao suppressed his anger and blushed. That's it, Chen Tong asked: "Xu Zhao, what other arguments do you have?" Xu Zhao seemed to hesitate and was unwilling to confess, Chen Tong turned to ask Wang, Wang recalled the stupid things he had done before, and couldn't help crying, Feng Ziying helped her back: "My lord, Aunt Wang was forced to make this decision to protect my sister's life, and I can't blame her." As a victim of this case, the little woman has never held a grudge, please forgive the eldest lady for her innocence. ”

Chen Tong wanted to mention the law of the dynasty, and said to Lin Yu: "My lord, this matter was indeed done by my father, but he did not intend to kill Qinglian's life. Chen Tongyan: "Not to mention anything else, according to what I have investigated, Baihuasan is highly poisonous, and those who eat it will be like a dead corpse within three days, if you don't take the antidote in time, once the time passes and the poison invades the lungs, you will definitely die." Such vicious methods, which treat the lives of others as child's play, are punishable by the law of the dynasty as a felony of exile! ”

Xu Zhao was dumbfounded when he heard this, and looked at Lin and Ziying, no one expected such a severe punishment. But from Chen Tong's sinister eyes, it could be seen that he was just scaring Xu Zhao, as if he had thought of this remark in advance.

"My lord, uncle... Master Xu, he didn't intend to come up with this poisonous plan, isn't it so Xing's responsibility..."Ziying was a little anxious, begging to excuse himself, Xu Zhao stepped forward and knelt on his knees, and said: "My lord, this matter is what I ordered my subordinates to do, and how to deal with it depends on the decision of the adult, but this plan is offered by the dog slave Ah Diao, and the hundred flowers are also found by him for me, how should the adults deal with it?" Xu Zhao took a bite and glared at Ah Diao fiercely, Ah Diao was distraught when he heard this, cold sweat broke out, he rubbed his knees and kowtowed and said in a panic: "Big.. My lord! This matter is all his own doing, and it is. Nothing to do with the villain! Chen Tongyi didn't know what to say, and seemed a little embarrassed. Ah Diao lied to him, only saying that Xu Zhao was the mastermind of the case, he was just acting according to his words, Chen Tong thought that Ah Diao was just acting on orders, whether he could be sentenced or not, it would not cause private opinions, and he wanted to ensure that he was safe, but now it seems that it is difficult to convince the public if he is not punished.

Chen Tongtangmu slapped suddenly, only to be startled by Diao's body, and then asked, "Diao!" It's better to recruit it truthfully! Ah Diao said urgently: "Big... My lord, he is very convincing, how to be convinced with just one tongue, and... Who and what testifies, adults must not listen to one side of the word! Chen Tong thought about it carefully, Xu Zhao hated domestic slaves, and it was not impossible to deliberately frame them. Before he could ask again, Xiang Lin said: "What the adults said is scattered, it is what Ah Diao bought from the pharmacist Du Jin, and this person is waiting outside the hall." Xiang Lin was thoughtful, he expected that Ah Diao would definitely shirk the crime in court, so he discussed with Xu Zhao to invite Du Jin, who was sold to Ah Diao, to testify in court, Du Jin did not refuse, and Ah Diao also deceived him.

Du Jin explained what had happened in court, and then submitted a contract, which turned out that all purchases of such poison must be signed by both the buyer and the seller to ensure that the poison is not used for consumption, and if the buyer violates the treaty and causes serious consequences, the responsibility must be borne by himself. Chen Tong read the contract, got up and threw the paper deed in front of Ah Diao, and said angrily: "What else can I say?!" Where is there room for justification, Ah Diao can only beg for mercy, the curtain guest (that is, the master of the later dynasty) admonished in his ear, Chen Tong nodded again and again, and then announced the guilt.
