However, the more you put it together, the more you can't find the flaws.

- None of the people who came could have the opportunity to share a room alone with Chen Siqu.

The case was tried three times in the hands of Jiang Chengde, and the people were allowed to observe the return, and by the time the three rounds of trials were completed, the news in Xiangfu County had changed greatly. First, at the end of the trial, everyone found that except for Dr. Zhang, it seemed that no one could give Chen Siqu a needle in front of everyone; Second, I don't know when, there are already other rumors in the market.

It was the time when Dr. Zhang became famous, the patient's surname was Su, called Su Shan, and he was the eldest in the family, but his father was the son of the original match, and then the father remarried and had another child with the stepmother.

Su Shan's father, stepmother is a powerful one, he couldn't stay at home, so he simply went to the capital to find food, with his wit and diligence, he gave a peony garden in Beijing. A few years later, he suddenly got an incurable disease one day, and the doctors in the capital were helpless and were sent back, and the local famous doctors were not good, so they all relied on Dr. Zhang's skillful hands to rejuvenate.

After Su Shan's illness was cured, he no longer returned to the capital, and rented a field to plant peonies, but as if he had stepped on dog shit, he actually cultivated yellow peonies, and gradually started a family by relying on this rare thing that is difficult to raise.

Just three or two months ago, it happened that the old man of the Su family left, and the brothers wanted to divide the family property, and everyone was vying for the peony field.

The first few half-brothers wanted to divide it equally, but Su Shan refused, and only agreed to divide the family's grain field and money.

To divide the troublemakers equally, he pulled the clan elder and said: "The peony field that my father rented for money, and the peony seedlings that my mother's dowry bought, are naturally divided equally by our brothers, how can there be a reason in the world for one person to monopolize it?!" ”

Su Shan was so angry that he scolded: "In those years, the family was so poor that it was tinkling, not to mention that I couldn't find money from my father's pocket, but I couldn't find a few more copper plates in the house, how could I have money to rent land!" What kind of background is your mother, a pair of pants worn by the family, and she can't even bring back a piece of meat when she goes home on the second day of the new year, so she can only give birth to a few of you debt collectors, where can you give birth to a dowry! ”

The brothers quarreled and were angry, Su Shankou said without hesitation: "I spent 30 yuan on renting that peony field back then, didn't I pretend to be sick and get the benefits of the Zhang family to make up 40 yuan, and I learned to transfer flowers in Beijing, with your little ability, I don't know where to eat bran vegetables, how can you have a good life today?!" ”

This matter was just an episode at the time, but I don't know which of the idlers in the clan could spread it, and when I encountered the cases of the Chen and Zhang families, I took it out as an insider and said it loudly, using it to prove that Dr. Zhang was really not a good person.

Since curing Su Shan, Dr. Zhang has become famous in this Xiangfu County, he has been sitting in the museum for many years, and has seen countless patients, some are optimistic and some are not good. As the saying goes, a doctor does not heal a life, and he is not a god descending to earth, as long as he sees a doctor, he will always encounter an incurable disease. Others always think that he is good at treating incurable diseases, and that many people who come are dead horses as live horse doctors, and if he is cured well, of course he is good, and if he is not cured, he will accept his fate.

Everyone didn't think it at the beginning, but now that they have come back to their senses, they blame the doctor for misleading people. If it weren't for his random diagnosis, his wife might be able to live for a few more years, and if it wasn't for the misbelief, the son of the family would not have been able to start a family at this time.

Because of this incident, Jiang Chengde in Xiangfu County had no choice but to take Su Shan to be interrogated, and sure enough, after asking, Zhang and Su quickly confessed that they had colluded with each other back then, one for profit, one for profit, and one for profit, and finally did such a deceptive thing.

However, apart from this, Dr. Zhang no longer refused to admit the rest, and the case of biting Chen Siqu to death had nothing to do with him.

Du Tanzhi still has an errand on his back, and he has already gone to other counties and towns to inspect the case, and he can only return to Xiangfu County in a few days, and Ji Qingling's news here is naturally not as fast as before. When she heard about Su Shan's affairs and knew about the situation in the yamen, there was already a commotion outside.

Qiu Lu said: "If that doctor Zhang is a superb doctor, why bother to use such a method to deceive others, even so, could it be that he pierced the wrong acupuncture point in the past, pierced that Chen Siqu, and refused to admit it because of life or death?" ”

Qiu Yue also followed: "How can you admit it? He confessed to the matter of coaxing with the same people, at most, it was to hinder his reputation, and he gave a few words of admonition to the county magistrate - he would not sit in this Xiangfu County in the future, and he would not suffer much - but once he confessed to Chen Siqu's case, it was a major case of human life, not to mention that one life is worth one life, and he will also go to prison! ”

Qiu Shuang muttered: "After working for half a day, it was Dr. Zhang who killed people, pretending to be like this, and took me to the ditch!" ”

Ji Qingling felt very strange and said: "Even if he is a quack, he doesn't have to act like he did at the beginning - no one in the Chen family understands medical skills, and he doesn't need to explain to others where he wants to get a needle, so why deceive people?" You listened to what he said in the hall that day, and firmly said that Chen Siqu's condition does not need to be pricked with needles in Fengfu acupoint, what is the difference between giving up the near and seeking the farthest? ”

Qiu Yue was worried and asked, "Madam, if this case has nothing to do with Li Chengwei, wouldn't we have come here in vain?" ”

Everyone talked for a long time, but they knew too little about it, and it was difficult to come up with any results, so they had to go to the yamen to hear the retrial the next day.

Chen Siqu's case has been tried for so long, and it has already spread more and more widely, and as the more things involved in the follow-up, the more interested the people of the county become. This time it was the fourth trial, and there was already a sea of people outside the yamen, all waiting to see the "evil doctor subduing the law".

For a while, the government opened the hall, and the Chen and Zhang families went to the court separately. Jiang Chengde asked the Chen family first, but in addition to Chen Shou, who stepped forward to report the case, another servant wife and family members testified together.

After everyone finished talking one by one, a woman in her fifties added: "Our master family is no better than others, the old lady is a neat one, and the eldest lady is raised in the official mansion. ”

She originally wanted to explain that except for Dr. Zhang, it was impossible for the rest of the people to kill people with needles in front of everyone, but many people outside the hall were led astray.

Someone asked in a whisper, "Which daughter-in-law did the eldest of the Chen family marry?" Is it really a scholarly family? ”

"This is not an exaggeration, when the eldest of his family married, the Chen family was still in the middle of the noon sun, at that time, the wealthy families next to them liked to save a dowry to marry the clan, saying that they could be married to the royal family, and they could pay less taxes, but the Chen family spent a lot of money to say a family from Xijing, and there was no movement when they got married, and there was no dowry, but I heard that the family used to be a big official."

The person next to him who listened to the gossip with his ears pricked up couldn't help but sneer: "It's the turn of the big official to get him Chen Shou?" Don't even have a dowry? Aren't you scolding us? ”

"Who slammed you! My ancestor was a big official, and it wasn't her father who was a big official, my ancestor was still the second Kong Lao who wrote something, I don't even know how to write now, where can I reason! ”

Some sour Xiucai muttered: "That's the Analects, not by Sage Confucius!" ”

The person who asked the first question hurriedly said: "Don't interrupt, you wait for him to finish, what kind of family is it?" ”

"The surname Wang! I heard that the history books of the great grandfather were repaired by his family! The man spat and flew, "When the Chen family set up a flowing water seat, I went to eat, and I heard it really at the banquet!" Although it is a side branch, he has lived with the girl of his own family since he was a child, and he is not much different from the little lady born to the Wang family! ”

When he said it, his voice couldn't be suppressed, and he was shaken around by the official with a water and fire stick, and then he hurriedly stopped his mouth.

The court is still trying the case, this time there is a large crowd, even if Du Tanzhi has arranged it in advance, Ji Qingling is not easy to enter the second gate and stand with the local elders, so he and Qiuyue are mixed in the crowd.

Others could hear the few people talking, but Fu Yi smiled, turned his head and forgot about it, but Ji Qingling felt something, grabbed Qiu Lu on the side, and explained a few words in his ear.

Qiu Lu quickly pulled Qiu Shuang on the side and retreated.

After the case was asked, because Dr. Zhang refused to admit his guilt, the Chen family pressed forward step by step, but could not produce conclusive evidence, so they were deadlocked.

Ji Qingling saw the boos outside the hall, and saw that Jiang Zhixian in the hall was just asking about the case as usual, knowing that it would be difficult to follow up today, so he simply took Qiuyue and the little guy who went back to the inn first.

In the middle of the afternoon, Qiu Lu and Qiu Shuang came back together and told them everything they had heard during the day.

“…… It is quite famous in Xiangfu County, and when asked around, many people know that she has a very good set of housekeepers, and it was originally a side branch of Mr. Pang's family in Xijing, because of the death of his parents, he voted for his uncle since he was a child, and followed a few serious little ladies to read and write together, learn rules and regulations, and everything is according to the Wang family, after marrying into the Chen family, it was really applied to it, and the color of things was done refreshingly, and the family was respectful, and the in-laws were also very kind to her......

Ji Qingling interjected and asked, "Is it indeed the origin of the Wang family?" ”

Qiu Shuang hurriedly nodded and said: "I asked several people separately from Sister Qiu Lu, and they all said the same thing, Chen Jiale is known to others, and I can't wait to say it all over the world, there is nothing wrong with it." ”

She was a little puzzled and asked, "Is there something wrong with this Chen family's daughter-in-law?" ”

Ji Qingling shook his head and said: "There is nothing wrong, but I have heard people say in the past that the Wang family has always had rules, and all accounts and human feelings must be recorded one by one and sealed year by year." ”

Qiu Luqi said: "Aren't all big families doing this, can there be any difference in his family?" ”

Ji Qingling said with a smile: "His family can go back to 80 years, and all the personal contacts and account details are all recorded. ”

Qiu Yue helped the housekeeper, but she already gasped and exclaimed, "How do you copy this?" If it makes sense to say that it was possible to say that it was ten years ago, what is the use of remembering it eighty years ago? How many houses do you have to prepare just for the books? ”

Ji Qingling said: "I heard that there are more than ten big houses. ”

For a while, a few girls were all staggered.

Qiu Shuang couldn't help but ask, "What is this?" ”

Ji Qingling only smiled and did not speak.

Unlike others, although Wang Pang was a bachelor of Hanlin, he was not only concerned with Hao's first poor scriptures, he was proficient in arithmetic, and when he first became an official, he was in charge of outdated estimation in the yamen, and on the last day of each month, he convened the heads of local people from all walks of life to evaluate the commercial price of goods for the next month.

Others manage the time estimate, but they treat it as an errand to deal with it, but Wang Pang manages the time assessment and manages it, but the local merchants are getting more and more, and even the taxes are a lot more. When he waited for the three-year examination, there was a shortage in the degree branch at that time, so he was promoted.

Wang Pang was dedicated to his work, and after taking office, the time estimate was only an estimate, not a price, and he was a newcomer, and it was difficult to allocate manpower, so he simply took his own house as an example to record all the daily food and utensils prices, and there were favors to consider the economy. He was originally a treasurer, and he personally set up a shelf, checked and compared it every month, and since then, he has not stopped for decades. And after his death, following the convention, the Wang family also inherited this rule.

It's just that the Wang family is rich now, and it may not be powerful in the future, hundreds of years later, when Ji Qingling's predecessor was located, it was already a down-and-out family, to the point of reselling the ancestral house.

Wang Pangwen is very famous, his family wants to sell the house, naturally many people flock to it, I want to see if I can get some old codex things out of it, who knows that when the library door opens, it is full, it is all account books and details, of which half of them have been mothed and moldy.

——It was left unattended, so naturally it was no longer what it looked like.

I also know that everything that is more valuable has been sold by unscrupulous descendants, how can it be kept to this day.

Those dealers picked up the little intact ones for a long time, and took them back to the capital to sell.

At that time, Ji's father was also serving in the Du Branch, and he was found by someone with something, so he thought it was very interesting, so he took some home, which happened to be a detailed account of the former people of the palace.

He is a caring person, and he can still cut a hole out of a stone without a seam, not to mention how much information is contained in this thing.

Later, when he gossiped with his children about the literati of the former dynasty, Ji Anlu had no choice but to take Wang Pang to open the water, saying that he would die to save face and suffer the crime, and when he was ordered to repair the "Legend of the Taizu of Jin", in order to be angry with Emperor Taizong, he was dissatisfied that the reward given to him by the other party was not as good as Feng Yi, who repaired the "History of the Founding of the People's Republic of China", and deliberately refused to accept it, saying that he was not well repaired, "I am ashamed and crying", as if he thought that the emperor would come over to appease a few more words, and how much to ask for face.

Who knew that at that time, Jin Taizong had just succeeded him, and he was bent on fighting the Northern Barbarians, so he really didn't have time to pay attention to him, and when he saw that people didn't want it, he didn't even know that this was a literati who were taking Qiao, and he didn't know how to coax him, so he really didn't give it again.

When the people below saw that the host didn't want it, where did they dare to accept it, they stood up one by one and said that they didn't want it at all.

In the end, I paid a lot of hard work, and I don't know who was fat.

Looking back, Wang Pang also understood that his family had done something wrong, so he had to pay out of his own pocket and privately send some gifts to each family for various reasons, just as compensation.

This incident is recorded in the wild history, and future generations can't laugh at it, thinking that it is apocryphal. Who knew that Ji Anlu saw Wang Pang's detailed account of the favors, and sure enough, he gave heavy gifts to several people who helped repair "The Legend of Jin Taizu" that year, and there was really no happy event in one family, and he had already found out that "your son has already said that he is married, and I may not be here next year, so it is better to give the ceremony first".
