A few days later, Lord Zhong held a trial to try the theft of the Han Palace. It was naturally impossible for the King of Han to show up in person, so he sent the chief butler in the palace to observe.

The facts of the case are actually quite simple. A group of thieves who were not afraid of death ran to the Han Palace, stealing some jewels and the "Hibiscus Brocade Chicken". Everyone's stolen goods were taken. The problem is that the thieves bit out of the city, and Fang Xia, the boss of Qian Tang Xuan, is an accomplice in selling the stolen goods.

Lord Zhong was a little puzzled by this. Qiantang Xuan is also an old study. The boss Fang Xia also had some impressions, he didn't look like such a villain. But the thieves said it clearly: when to contact him, how to contact, how to divide it clearly and clearly, Shi Liang returned the stolen goods!

Fang Xia shouted injustice during the interrogation, saying that he only thought that the painting was a fake—who would easily take the real thing out and frame it? He didn't look carefully before he took it. Who knows, he will be falsely accused of being an accomplice!

After Lord Zhong received the prince's message, he had a plan in his heart.

When the trial began, the yamen was crowded with people who were observing. Lian Baitang and Xu San didn't hide in the back hall this time, and stood in the crowd in a grand manner. It's just that Xu San's reputation is too loud, and there is no one around him and Bai Tang, and a separation zone is automatically formed.

"Yao Dalang, the leader of the Xuan bandits."

Yao Dalang was born with a thick waist and round shoulders, and his face was fierce. He didn't seem to be afraid of the lobby, as if a battle-hardened general was inspecting his battlefield, he walked out with his head held high, and Bai Tang raised his eyebrows: Interesting.

Xu San said resentfully in his ear: "Bai Tang, you have been with me for an afternoon." ”

Bai Tang glanced at him with a smile: "Who let you have a good foundation, and you will recover after a day's rest!" ”

Xu San was speechless, hating his own good deeds and letting the King of Han mess up the peace: King Han, King Han again! Lord makes you look good this time!

"Yao Da, you teamed up with Cui Yangzi and Ma Kou to sneak into the Han Wang's Mansion on the evening of six days ago and stole a jade Buddha, a purple gold incense burner, a bamboo fan with Cui Bai's fan, two pearl chains, and a "Hibiscus Brocade Chicken". Can you plead guilty? ”

Yao Dalang said briskly: "Confess." ”

whispered: All of them have been caught and stolen, and they can't do it if they don't be happy!

Lord Zhong also felt that the case was too easy to solve: "Since you have confessed to the crime, you will tell the truth about what happened." ”

Yao Lang said loudly: "The brothers are short of money, and if they want to do a big job, they will disappear and live a good life in the future." I heard that there are a lot of treasures in the Hanwang Mansion, and there are fellows I know in the Hanwang Mansion, so I stepped on the point for a few days and started. ”

Bai Tang nodded secretly: It's incredible that just a few thieves stole the Han Palace, is it a dry meal to be a guard of the palace? But if there is an internal response, then it is a different matter!

"The fellow in the house is called Songmo, and he serves in the prince's study. I promised him to divide and told him to answer us, and disguised himself as a guard in the house to sneak into the house and steal something. Gold and silver can be reforged. The pearls could be dismantled and sold, but the painting was not easy to handle, so I asked Fang Xia, the owner of Qiantang Xuan, to help me sell the stolen goods. He said that there was a way to change the appearance of the painting. Posing as other paintings, they were sent out of the city of Nanjing. ”

Bai Tang nodded slightly, and it was not impossible to cover the original painting with a layer of painting.

Lord Zhong then announced Fang Xia Shangtang.

Bai Tang saw that Fang Xia's clothes were neat and tidy, and he didn't need to be tortured, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and couldn't help but smile at him.

As soon as Fang Xia came out, he saw that many of his peers had come to listen to the trial, and many people gave him a look and waved to comfort him, and his heart was moved. He really didn't suffer any crime in prison for a few days, Yao Dalang didn't accept it, and the cell boss said, who let the family send enough money? When Fang Xia's family visited him, he learned that Gao Lian and his family had already thought of a way to save him with their peers, and Bai Tang paid for the jailer. If you want him to wait for his innocence to be released from prison.

When I arrived in the hall, I heard Lord Zhong ask: "Fang Xia, Yao Dalang identified you as their accomplice in selling stolen goods, can you admit it?" ”

Boss Fang denied it: "Five days ago, this person appeared in my Qiantang Xuan, holding a piece of "Hibiscus Brocade Chicken Picture" and said that he wanted to reframe it. My lord, you can testify to me that Emperor Huizong's pictures of flowers and birds have always been imitated by many people, and I saw that this painting was very fine, and I only thought that it was imitated by a master. Besides, who has the ability to steal a painting from the palace and send it to be framed as if nothing happened? Who knew that this painting was borrowed by His Royal Highness the King of Han from the Ministry of Internal Affairs and stolen! ”

Boss Fang said as the people below nodded. It was also the bad luck of the old party that was picked by the bandits. If you were someone else, you would be tricked too!

Zhong Zairen looked at the expression of the head man and knew that what Fang Xia said was true. asked Yao Dalang: "You testify that Fang Xia sold stolen goods with you, do you have any evidence?" ”

Yao Da sneered: "Boss Fang, your face is also turning too fast. You still have my share of it! ”

Fang Xia said calmly: "You said that ten taels of deposit? ”

Yao Da said to Lord Zhong: "My lord, the little one gave him a pearl chain." ”

Fang Xia hurriedly said: "There is no such thing!" ”

Yao Dalang snorted: "My lord, this surnamed Fang has a place to hide money behind the shop." It's in the hollow of a plane tree with a big hole in it. ”

Fang Xia's face turned white in an instant: how did he know that he had such a place to hide money?!

Bai Tang and Xu San looked at each other: it was very porcelain.

Immediately, a servant went to search, and with a pillar of incense, he came back with a money box to restore his life.

Lord Zhong sneered: I didn't say this when I asked about it before, but I only said it now. Is it to prevent the leakage from being discovered?

"Your Excellency. The small one did fish out this box in the hollow of a plane tree in the backyard of Qiantang Xuan. ”

There was a lock hanging on the box, and the official Xia said: "Pick the lock and let us check it!" ”

Fang Xia looked at this box and said that my life is over! Only he and his wife knew about the place where the money was hidden. Even his son didn't say anything. Unexpectedly, let them find out, it can be seen that the pearl chain must have been hidden inside.

"Let's go!" Yao Dalang sneered, "Don't be scared, right? ”

Fang Xia took off the string of keys from his waist with trembling hands, and flipped through them for a long time before picking out a small key. When I looked up, I happened to see Bai Tang's smiling face, and I felt at ease. Lisuo unlocked the lock and opened the lid without hesitation.

There were a few silver tickets and a few large ingots of silver. There is no shadow of pearls at all!

Yao Dalang's smile condensed, and he unconsciously looked at the bitter lord sitting on the side, the chief butler of the Han Palace.

The big butler raised his eyebrows: There are no pearls? Fei Biao can't go wrong!

"Your Excellency." Yao Dalang hurriedly said, "He must have changed the pearl place!" ”

Bai Tang and Xu San looked at each other and smiled.

If King Han wants to frame Boss Fang, he will definitely prepare conclusive evidence. There is no better evidence of this than the stolen stolen goods. Bai Tang immediately notified the Fang family to thoroughly inspect the objects in the house, even if he dug three feet into the ground, he would turn out that kind of thing!

Boss Fang's wife remembered the tree hole in the shop, and immediately rushed over, and there was indeed a string of brilliant South China Sea bead chains in the money box! Each pearl is the size of a lotus seed, and each one is round and the same size, and it is worth a thousand gold!

Mrs. Fang's legs are going to be weak! What can I do?

Bai Tang took the bead chain and handed it to Xu San.

"Do you know what to do?"

Xu San snapped his fingers: "Wrap it up on me!" ”
