After three days of detention, Shen Jinbao was finally arraigned.

When others were arraigned, they were all frightened, and they went to the guillotine for fear that they would not make a good mistake, but Shen Jinbao was very excited.

Because, no more eating those moldy prison meals, no more forcing yourself to sleep in a dirty and damp bed, and then being scared by rats coming to the door in the middle of the night to pee your pants!

Thinking of this, Shen Jinbao was in a very good mood, and glanced at the jailer who was dragging himself to the court from left to right, and turned on the flirtatious mode.

"Two big brothers, I have been taken care of by you for the past few days, and when the younger brother goes out, please drink with you?"

The two jailers looked disgusted, glancing at his crotch and turning their faces away.

Do you think they're willing to take care of this coward? In the middle of the night, the ghosts roared and screamed, waking up the prisoners, not to mention, and making the prison angry, even if it was for the sake of his nose, he had to throw him a pair of dry pants, didn't he?

"My lord, the suspect is here!" The jailer threw Shen Jinbao in court like a dead dog.

Shen Jinbao raised his head and saw a middle-aged man in official uniform sitting above, and before he could take a closer look at his face, the sound of the crowd outside the hall sounded in his ears, like a vegetable market, chattering.

"It's just him, he even has to steal his brother's things, and he really doesn't look like a good person."

"It's hard to say, it hasn't been tried yet, maybe people have been wronged."

"He must have done it! Look at his brother's appearance, how handsome, he looks honest. ”

"You women......

Mrs. Yan, Uncle Shen, and Lai's were crowded in the crowd, listening to these bad words, their faces sank, and Lai's almost rushed up to tear the mouths of those people.

"Might-" The water and fire sticks of the officials on both sides struck the ground, reminding everyone to be quiet.

It's time to go through the process.

The county magistrate patted the shocked wood and asked, "Who is kneeling in the hall?" ”

Shen Jinbao was frightened, quickly lowered his head, and replied: "Xiaomin Shen Jinbao, a native of Qingshanao Village, is twenty-four this year, and has already married a daughter-in-law and has a daughter......

"That's enough." Zhang Quanan interrupted his chatter and reminded, "You can answer whatever the official asks, no need to talk nonsense." ”

"Yes, yes, yes."

"Look, do you recognize the person next to you?"

Shen Jinbao turned his head and found that there were two people kneeling not far from him, and the ugly monster among them bared his teeth at him.

It was the two culprits who put him in prison.

Phew, villain, wait for the master to go out, see how to clean you up!

Shen Jinbao held back his anger and said, "I recognize, it's my second uncle's eldest son, Shen Li, and his mother-in-law, Sheng." ”

Zhang Quanan hummed and continued to ask: "Shen Liang sued you for stealing twenty-three gastrodia trees from their house, can you plead guilty?" ”

"The little people don't recognize it!" Shen Jinbao puffed out his chest, "Everyone knows that because my grandmother favors me, Shen Liang has always been jealous of my cousin, maybe he hid the medicinal herbs himself and deliberately planted them for me." ”

He kowtowed a few times in a row, and shouted on the ground: "My lord, the little people are wronged!" ”

Zhang Quanan raised his eyebrows.

Since he has shouted injustice, according to the rules of being an official, he can only lay out the human and material evidence one by one, so that the prisoner can be convinced.

"As far as this official knows, your family background is ordinary, if you hadn't stolen the medicinal materials of the Shen Liang family, where would the more than 100 taels of silver on your body come from?"

Shen Jinbao grinned: "That, I really sold Tianma to get it." ”

Zhang Quanan was furious: "Bastard! The preface doesn't match the afterword, do you dare to play with the official? ”

Shen Jinbao hurriedly waved his hand: "No, no, no!" My lord, listen to me, this is how it happened......"

That morning, for some reason, he woke up in the morning, tossed and turned, and couldn't sleep, so he simply got up and went out for a walk, and unconsciously walked to the back mountain.

At this moment, a rabbit suddenly ran past him, and in the blink of an eye, he jumped into the mountain. He was so overjoyed that he chased after him without thinking about it, but unfortunately he was a little short of chasing him.

Then he was in a hurry and jumped at the rabbit, but the rabbit did not catch it, but he fell down the hill.

Fortunately, he was not injured, and the slopes were full of sand, and there were many crops that did not look like crops, and grass that did not look like grass.

As soon as he was angry, he poured his anger on those crops and pulled one out casually. Then he found that there were strange fruits growing underneath, and they were about the same size as sweet potatoes.

He thought, you can't work all morning in vain, right? Although it was not as good as a rabbit, it was more or less a ration when I took it back, so I took off my coat, wrapped the fruits and brought them home.

When I got home, it was just dawn, and the family hadn't gotten up yet.

He entered the room, changed out of his dirty clothes and shoes, and stuffed them into the closet.

At this time, his new concubine, Hu Yuniang, woke up, saw those fruits, and said that she had seen them before, and it seemed to be a precious medicinal herb. So he put the fruit in a sack, carried it to the town, and sold it to the Rejuvenation Hall......

This may sound absurd, but it makes sense.

In this way, the origin of gastrodia, including the sand on Shen Jinbao's clothes and shoes, has also been perfectly explained.

Sheng Zhu and Shen Liang glanced at each other, and they both saw surprise in each other's eyes. With Shen Jinbao's brain, he would never come up with this idea, and there must be a master behind it.

As for who the master is... Thinking of Mrs. Yan and Uncle Shen who met at the gate of the yamen in the morning, the husband and wife had a bottom in their hearts.

After all, Zhang Quanan has been a county magistrate for so many years, and he is still very experienced, and he quickly heard the flaws in this.

"Dare to disrupt the people, dare to fool the official! First, if there are so many gastrodia in your back mountain, why has no one ever found it before? Second, if you are not a thief, why do you hide your dirty clothes and shoes? Third, why is it so coincidental, the gastrodia you sold to the Rejuvenation Pavilion happens to be exactly the same as the gastrodia lost by Shen Li's family, and the variety and quantity are exactly the same? ”

I have to say that although Zhang Quanan is greedy for money and lustful, he does have some real skills, and these questions are all asked to the point.

Shen Jinbao looked unhurried.

Yan Pozi had expected these flaws a long time ago, and she had already taught him to make a good draft.

"My lord, you are full of poetry and books, and you are only eight buckets high, so do you know Tianma?"

Zhang Quanan was stunned.

He... I really don't know him, and he is not a medical student, how can he know such a scarce medicinal material?

Seeing that the county magistrate was dumbfounded, Shen Jinbao couldn't help but become proud, and he admired his grandmother more and more.

He continued: "Your Excellency, you are so powerful, you are not familiar with Tianma, let alone us illiterate ordinary people? Even if someone had seen gastrodia before, they didn't know that it was a valuable thing, and they thought it was some kind of weed, and who would dig grass if they had nothing to do? ”

Zhang Quanan: "......"

I think it makes a little sense.

"As for the second question..."Shen Jinbao showed an embarrassed expression, "Don't tell the adult, the family has been struggling to make a living recently, and even the soap horn has to be saved." If my father had known that I had come back in a panic, he would have criticized me. So, I'm going to hide it first, wait for my dad to go out, and then let Yu Niang secretly help me wash it, so I don't have to be scolded, right? ”

Although this reason is a bit far-fetched, it is plausible.

Zhang Quanan was about to nod, but suddenly felt that something was wrong.

This Diao Min almost took him to the ditch!

"Just when you make sense, the official asks you, what is your explanation for this third question?"

Shen Jinbao smiled and said, "My lord, there are so many varieties of gastrodia in this world, you can't just because Shen Liang lost gastrodia, and I just picked up the same gastrodia, so I can conclude that I stole it, right?" His name was not written on it. ”

As he spoke, he squinted at Shen Liang and looked provocative: "If you want to reason like this, I also said that I lost dozens of taels of silver, is it possible to prove that they stole it as long as I found similar silver ingots in the second room?" ”

Shen Li's brows frowned slightly.

Shen Jinbao was obviously messing around and secretly changing his views, but for a while, he couldn't refute it.

Zhang Quanan also felt a headache, after all, there was indeed no name engraved on it, even if it was exactly the same, who could prove that it must be Shen Li's family.

Unless, there are witnesses.

There was an eerie silence in the courtroom.

The onlookers couldn't help but turn their heads and ears, and most of them felt that this statement was correct, and this was the reason.

Several members of the big house were also relieved, and it seemed that the life of the son (grandson) had been saved.

Seeing that the crowd was on his side, Shen Jinbao suddenly floated a little.

He knew that he would never be fine, and his grandmother was really scheming and took all aspects into account.

Let's see what Shen Liang can do with him, ha!

"My lord, the woman wants to ask the suspect a word." Sheng Zhu suddenly opened his mouth.

Zhang Quanan's head hurt, and when he heard this, he immediately agreed: "Ask." ”

Sheng Zhu looked at Shen Jinbao and smiled slightly: "Cousin, in this way, the gastrodia you sold to the Rejuvenation Pavilion are all wild?" ”

Isn't that nonsense?

Shen Jinbao opened his mouth and wanted to say "yes", but for some reason, he suddenly paused again.

Sheng, a woman, is not only ugly, but also has a darker heart, and even her grandmother has suffered at her hands. She asked this sentence, it couldn't be that simple, it must have dug some pit for him.

But knowing that there is a pit, he still has to jump wow, otherwise isn't the previous story made up in vain?

Shen Jinbao gritted his teeth and replied categorically: "Yes, it's wild!" ”

Sheng Zhu smiled even brighter, and turned to Zhang Quanan: "My lord, the woman has finished asking." ”

That's it? The onlookers were stunned.

Yan Pozi's eyebrows jumped, and an ominous premonition arose.

What the hell is this Sheng Clan? It won't be ......

Before she could figure it out, Zhang Quanan's eyes lit up, as if someone had opened the joints on her body, and she was shocked.

"Biography, the Miao shopkeeper of the Rejuvenation Pavilion!"
