Chapter 41 Case Clarification
"Gensheng, let's go to the town to see the situation first, it's not a way to do it at home," Shi Shi didn't know why in his mind, and thought of Ma Dongmei of the Xinshen Regiment.
"Okay, I'll go to town with your sister-in-law, you just stay at home, don't go anywhere!" Gensheng took out the majesty of his eldest brother.
The master packed up his baggage, feeling that he would definitely have to live in the town for a few days, and he had to deal with some people, so he brought all the broken silver with him.
I rushed to the town with the ox cart of Tian Er's aunt, went to the county yamen for a turn, stuffed a few dollars for the little catcher who was guarding the door, and inquired about the court meeting at noon tomorrow.
Late at night, Gen Sheng couldn't sleep with worry, and the teacher also stared at her big eyes, she guessed that it must be the last time she molded the gold body, and something went wrong.
"Gensheng, do you think it's Ma Dongmei's ghost?" Her clear voice tore through the silence of the night.
"She? It shouldn't be possible, she has believed in God with my mother for five years, and she lives in the same village, and I haven't seen her have any criminal records. ”
Gensheng stretched out his hand and patted Shishi's back gently, "Don't worry, go to bed early." ”
In the morning, Gen Sheng had a pair of dark circles under his eyes, and entered the yamen with his teacher, Zhang Dafeng's case involved the loss of money from many people, so a lot of relevant people gathered in the yamen.
"Who is kneeling in the hall?" The county order was shocked.
"Grass farmer Zhang Dafeng," Zhang Dafeng's whole person was thin and sunk, his hair was messy, and his hands were locked in huge wooden clips.
"Where is the plaintiff?"
"Liu Dazhuang of Qingshui Town knocked to see my lord," an old peasant in linen clothes knelt under the hall.
"Zhang Dafeng, the plaintiff accused you of defrauding others of money and squeezing silver for 35 taels on the pretext of building God's golden body, can you plead guilty?"
When the teacher heard it, it was ridiculous, not to mention how Zhang Dafeng had the ability to cheat with so much money, she had not been out of the door for many days due to illness.
"The grass people do not admit their guilt! The grass people have not squeezed other people's money! It is right for the grass people to believe in God, but they have never hurt others with their faith. ”
Zhang Dafeng's head was on the stone slab, and he banged.
"Plaintiff, what do you have to say?" The county magistrate stroked his goatee and asked with the case.
"Zhang Dafeng did come to my village and even a surrounding village to raise funds in the name of raising funds for God, this is the evidence of fundraising, and the name signed on it is Zhang Dafeng!"
Liu Dazhuang took out a crumpled piece of straw paper from his arms, handed it to the official, and presented it to the county commander.
The county order took a look at the draft paper, and indeed there were three words Zhang Dafeng written on it upright, the handwriting was clear, what else did she have to say!
"Someone! Certified physical evidence is here! Zhang Dafeng, what else do you have to justify!? ”
The piece of straw paper fell in front of her from the county order's hand, she only saw the dense words on it, she didn't know any of them, and she was speechless because she had been intimidated by the county order, but tears flowed, "Wronged, my lord, the grass people are wronged!" ”
"Wronged? Are you saying that the official handled the case unfairly?! ”
The county magistrate's beard was angry, and he was shocked again, "Escort the criminal Zhang Dafeng down, and after hearing it, the fraud is indeed there..."
"My lord, Xiaomin has something to say!" A charming female voice sounded in the yamen, and the teacher walked out of the crowd, and Gensheng pulled her stunned
"Who dares to make trouble in the court?" Liu Zhutou pulled out his knife and looked at her vigilantly
The county order took a look, it was the little lady who was performing at Ran's landlord's house that day, her majestic face relaxed, and she waved her hand, "Let her in!" ”
Liu Zhutou had no choice but to put away the knife, let it aside, and watched her stride forward.
What is the origin of this woman, the richest man Shen Wansan sells face, even if the county magistrate is so polite?!
"My lord, this case is full of suspicions, and it can't be closed easily," Shi Shi set an example, she knew that officials like to listen to good words, "You are an official and fair, everyone knows that Xiaomin believes that you will not misplace any bad person, but you will not wronged any good person." ”
Originally, the county magistrate was very impressed by her, with a little yearning, and as soon as she was put on a hat by her teacher, she was even more pleasant.
"What you said is extremely true, what is the doubt, the girl said bluntly."
"My lord, I am the daughter-in-law of the suspect Zhang Dafeng, and I know her whereabouts very well recently, and there are three suspicious points in this case. First, Zhang Dafeng suffers from old cold legs, has difficulty moving, and has been at home recently, and there is no walking to several surrounding towns to exercise fraud; Second, Zhang Dafeng is illiterate, let alone can sign and draw; Third, Zhang Dafeng did not store a large amount of silver taels at home, and he was telling us a few days ago that there was no money available. ”
As soon as the teacher said this, the direction of the wind immediately changed in the hall, and the crowd praised this daughter-in-law for being really smart, Zhang Dafeng should not be the one who defrauded them of money.
"Hmm... There are indeed doubts in this case, but this note is indeed the name of your mother-in-law Zhang Dafeng, what do you think? ”
The county magistrate was exhausted by this case, and his brows furrowed.
