"Since the little adults are here to make decisions for the people, why is it biased in the first place? Song is about to start the trial before he arrives at the court? "The county guard of Jiangshan County attacked again.

"Why?" Tianling smiled, "Because Lord Ben asked him not to come, do you still have any questions?" ”

Jiang Shan County was stunned, facing the blatant and arrogant Heavenly Spirit, he couldn't ask any more questions, but his heart relaxed a little, it seemed that he was a little eunuch who could only rely on his power, and it was not difficult to deal with.

"Then according to what the little adult said, let's go to the court to try the case." The county guard of Jiangshan County took a seat at the bottom left of the public hall and began the routine questioning of the trial, "Who is kneeling, report the name." ”

"Back to my lords, the little people are from Jiangshan County." The fat-headed, big-eared merchant from earlier replied.

"What do you do for a living?" The county guard of Jiangshan County then asked.

"Going back and forth to do some business." The merchant said respectfully.

"The official has already seen it, and you said that the squire of the Ministry of Industry took the opportunity of building the official road to forcibly expropriate and extort money, not to mention, and he was greedy for your money, do you have a certificate?" The merchant of Jiangshan County made a look.

"My lord! I ask the adults to make decisions for the small people! The faces of the merchants were instantly full of grievances, and they bowed to the ground with tears in their eyes, but it was the county guard of Jiangshan County who was at the bottom left.

Tianling glanced at the county guard of Jiang Shan County with a smile, did not speak, only nodded and motioned for him to continue.

The county guard of Jiangshan County was a little surprised, this little eunuch was actually stable?

Seeing that Tianling was sitting on the head, the county guard of Jiangshan County had no choice but to speak, "Don't hurry up yet!" ”

"Yes! My lord! ”

"We traders often have to send some commercial goods to various places, so in addition to the business itself, the most concerned thing for the small people is the road, whether the road is good or not, whether there are any ringing horse bandits along the way, whether they can take large commercial goods······

"A few days ago, the government put up a list, saying that the imperial court is going to build an official road from Jiangshan to the capital, the small people are happy, the capital is full of treasures, and there are business opportunities everywhere, but all along, the road from Jiangshan to Pingjing is dangerous and rugged, many commercial goods can not be transported, and the trade between the two places is very blocked.

But then it suddenly came to the news that Lord Song, the squire of the Ministry of Works, wanted to raise private funds, and Xiaomin thought to himself, haven't the official roads built since ancient times been funded by the imperial court? Why did Lord Song raise private capital? ”

"So with the mentality of going to see, I followed the others to Qingshui Town to participate in the fundraising meeting, and when I went, it was still the little people who came to pick up the little adults in the hall." As he said this, the merchant glanced upwards at the Heavenly Spirit.

Tianling's expression was a little impatient, and he was shocked, "To get to the point, how did Song forcibly expropriate and extort it?" How did you get your money? And how do you greed for ink? ”

"Yes." The merchant was startled by the sudden sound of the startled wood, and reflexively bowed down, and when he reacted, he realized that he had just bowed down to the eunuch who was on the top.

"Stunned, say it quickly!" Seeing that the merchant was actually suppressed by the heavenly spirit, the county guard of Jiangshan County pulled the merchant's consciousness back.

The merchant secretly wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said, "After Xiaomin went to the fundraising meeting, he found that the government's fundraising was not in the government but in the inn. ”

Tian Lingzhao smiled, "Don't be nervous, go on." ”

"Later, Lord Song told us that the imperial court made an exception to build this official road for the well-being of the people in the two places, so there were some difficulties in the money, and if we were willing to donate generously, the imperial court would use the future trade documents in return." When the merchant said this, his tone suddenly became angry, "When Xiaomin heard this, like most of the businessmen present, he decided to donate money without hesitation, but he didn't expect that the dignified waiter of the Ministry of Works actually took advantage of the mentality of the Xiaomin who wanted to urgently get the trade documents to defraud the Xiaomin of their hard-earned money!" ”

The county warden of Jiangshan County looked at the merchant, nodded imperceptibly, and said, "How much silver did you use to exchange the trade documents with Lord Song?" ”

"Back to my lord, there are many or small numbers, and the lowest one is a thousand taels." The merchant was indignant.

"Can I send you a trade paper?" The county guard then asked.

"Back to my lord, I haven't heard from you so far!" The businessman's face was full of grievances, "The small people are appealing today, they just want to get their money back!" ”

"Don't worry, I believe that the prisoner will definitely give you justice today." The county guard of Jiangshan County turned his head to look at Tianling, and said mockingly, "Little adult, have you ever understood what is being said?" ”

Instead of looking at him, the Heavenly Spirit turned his gaze to the merchant who had just spoken, "What's your name?" ”

"Xiaomin's name is Liang Yangde." The merchant replied.

"Liang Yangde, let me ask you." Tianling's voice was clear, "When you count the money, will the door be closed?" ”

Aren't you talking about fundraising? How do you ask him this? Liang Yangde was stunned by the question, but still replied truthfully, "Of course it will." ”

"Your small businessman will close the door for a few dollars, and the fundraising conference is such an important matter, what is there to say about the guards of the guards?" Tian Ling glanced at him with extreme disdain, "Besides, is there any problem with the government's fundraising not being in the mansion and in the inn?" ”

"Xiaomin is just curious, if it is really the imperial court fundraising, why the affairs of the government will be carried out in the inn." Liang Yangde's fluttering words plunged Lord Song into a place of injustice.

"According to what you say, your daughter-in-law thinks you are ugly and sleeps in a separate room with you, so she is not your daughter-in-law?" Tianling looked at Liang Yangde, "The imperial court is fundraising, whether it is in the government or not, it is all the imperial court fundraising, just based on a venue, it is taken for granted that Lord Song is collecting private money?" Can you grow your brain when you slander people? Don't let anyone find the flaws. ”

Tianling moved his gaze from the speechless Liang Yangde to the county guard of Jiangshan County, "When Lord County Shou asked just now, Lord Ben was very surprised when he heard it, what is the trade document exchanged with Lord Song for how much silver?" ”

"Does Lord County Shou mean that Lord Song is taking advantage of the convenience of building official roads to sell trade documents like merchants from the two places?" Tianling snapped a stunned wood, "Liang Yangde, I'll ask you again!" At the fundraising meeting, did Lord Song say that the trade documents were sold to you? ”

"No... No, but what Lord Song means ······" Liang Yangde was vague, although the words were negative, but the tone and expression were clearly saying, yes, Lord Song was openly buying and selling trade documents.

"Where is the master?" Tianling didn't entangle with Liang Yangde, and called out the master who was recording the court trial, "Read his words about Lord Song." ”

"The imperial court is for the well-being of the people of both places····· There are some difficulties, and if we are willing to give generously, the court will repay them with future trade documents. The master stood up and read the confession he had just recorded.

Tianling raised his hand and let the master sit back, looking at Liang Yangde, whose expression gradually stiffened, "Can you listen carefully?" You said it yourself! ”

"Liang Yangde! I'm asking you! Tianling's gaze forced Liang Yangde, "At the fundraising meeting, did Lord Song forcibly let you contribute?" Is there torture, coercion, and inducement to you? Do you hide the amount of money you have given from everyone? ”

Tianling stood up from his seat and threw a wad of paper in Liang Yangde's face, "Do you dare to say no to these things?" ”

Liang Yangde picked up the paper from the ground, the familiar content on it made him not say a word for a long time, the paper was recorded at the fundraising meeting, the amount of money donated by each of them, and the reason why he was so familiar was because after they sent the donated money, no one received such an account, clear and clear.

"Why didn't he speak?"

"Isn't it just the way he says it?"

"Could there be something else going on at this time?"

"That's not right, how many good ones can be in office? I heard that at the fundraising meeting, more than 300,000 silver taels were raised! ”

"Oh my God! More than 300,000 silver taels! I won't be able to spend it in my lifetime! ”

"What the prisoner just threw down seems to be the account of the fundraising conference, in this way, it is very likely that Liang Yangde is lying, if there is really greed for ink, where do you dare to take the account?"

"Why didn't you take out the accounts before? If you take it out now, will it be a fake account that fools people? ”

······

The people on the periphery of the government began to whisper again, Tianling turned a deaf ear, and pointed to a group of businessmen kneeling below, "You are willing to contribute, why did Lord Song say that he was forcibly expropriated and expropriated?" The accounts are in the book, clear and clear, how can you say that you are greedy for ink? What a crime you should be guilty of! ”

"My lord! The little people are wronged! The people have been deceived! Liang Yangde reacted very quickly, "If it weren't for Lord Song's reason for holding the trade papers, the small people would not have been carried away······

"What lied to you?" Tianling directly interrupted Liang Yangde's words, "The trade documents were issued uniformly after the official road was completed, and if you don't get it now, it's a lie to you?" As soon as you talk to your lady, you will enter the cave room? ”

The people on the outside of the government burst into laughter.

Liang Yangde wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said stubbornly, "The trade document Xiaomin doesn't want it, Xiaomin only wants to return Xiaomin's money." ”

Tianling looked at Liang Yangde, "Want to return the money?" ”

"Ask the little adults to call the shots!" Liang Yangde climbed up with the stick.

Tianling leaned his back back, and after finding a comfortable position, he spoke, "It is impossible to return the money, it is impossible to return the money in this life, let me ask you, what are these silver coins used for?" ”

"Build official roads." Liang Yangde replied.

"For whom?" The Heavenly Spirit continued to ask.

"For the court." Liang Yangde replied.

"Was it built for the imperial court?" Tianling jumped up from his seat and pointed to the county guard of Jiangshan County, "You say, who is it built for?" ”

"Built for the people of both places." The county guard of Jiangshan County couldn't, so he could only open his mouth to answer, on this question, even if he borrowed ten guts, he didn't dare to say that it was built for the imperial court.

"For whom?" Heavenly Spirit turned his gaze back to Liang Yangde.

"It was built for the people of both places." Liang Yangde didn't even think about changing his words directly.

"Since it was built for the people of the two places, are you the people of the two places? Was the official road built for you? Tian Ling walked up to the merchants from above, "Do you think Lord Song has taken your money?" Lord Song used the money raised to build an official road, that is, he was using your money to do things for you, it is clear and clear, you are all businessmen, don't you know this truth? ”

Liang Yangde looked at Tianling with a confused expression, he felt that what Tianling said was wrong, but he couldn't find a reason to refute him.

The county guard of Jiangshan County looked at Liang Yangde's appearance, and knew that if he didn't open his mouth again, he was afraid that the things explained by the top would be yellow, and if he was to blame him, he would definitely not be able to eat and walk around.

"Little adult, you can't say that." The county guard of Jiangshan County shook his head with a smile, "It is natural for the government to do things for the people. ”

"So Lord Song asked for the people's life, worked tirelessly to build the official road, and he never said that he would not build this official road with such a big infamy!" Tianling's eyes narrowed, and he looked at the county guard of Jiangshan County, "Lord County Guard, I know what you want to say, but before you say it, please think twice." ”

In a place that others couldn't see, Tianling silently mouthed at the county guard of Jiangshan County, "Lest there be a mistake in the back, if you don't go back, you can't close the field, you think about the people so much, and I haven't seen you help them hand over the taxes." ”

Jiang Shanjun's face turned pale, and he didn't dare to speak again after all.

Seeing that he shut up, Tianling returned to the top and sat down, "As I said before, Lord Ben came today to reason with you, and you all told you your truth just now, and now I will talk about my reason." ”

"Witnesses come to court!" As soon as the heavenly spirit slapped the hall in shock, a guard brought some people to the hall.

"Who's in the hall?" After seeing the Jiangshan County Shou trial case, Tianling learned the same way, and directly put the Jiangshan County Shou aside and started the trial himself.

"Xiao Minping Jingcheng Limu Zhai Zuowen, doing bookshelf business."

"Xiaomin Jiang Shanyuan Shige Chen Sanbao, who is in the jade business."

······

The people who came up opened their mouths one by one and reported themselves to their homes.

Next, Tianling asked these businessmen who had just come up to talk about the situation of the fundraising conference at that time, especially in the detailed inquiry on the accounts and trade documents, they were all businessmen who participated in the same fundraising conference, but the final statements were very different.

"Since it is reasonable, it is natural to be fair and just, and now that the two parties have their own opinions, who can prove that what they say is true?" Heavenly Spirit asked.

"Little adult, I'll come." Zuo Wen couldn't wait to speak, "I have here the documents signed with the government at that time, as well as the account books sent by the government after the fundraising meeting, how much money was donated, and where the money went, a note is clear." ”

"I have it, I have ······" Later merchants spoke.

After the last person finished speaking, Liang Yangde's face was discouraged, and he knew that he was already a dead man.

Jiang Shanjun's face is not good-looking, but as a veteran of officialdom, he has always been good at dancing with long sleeves, and he can still be calm at the moment.

Only the heavenly spirit, smiling brightly.

"Liang Yangde, you framed the court officials, and you should be punished for your crimes, what else do you have to say?" Heavenly Spirit asked.

Liang Yangde was already dead at the moment, and was about to confess his guilt, when the county guard of Jiangshan County swept over, and Liang Yangde raised his head.
