Chong Xi (197) made a difficulty

(197)

Listen to the girl's intercession for Niu Dewang. Zhao Chengcai's face sank, "Then if he kills people and sets fires in the future, you also say that he is ignorant?" Monkey business! This seedling is not crooked, can you teach children to be so doting? You have to take advantage of him and ask strictly! I've already asked people to ask the county lord, right and wrong have their own opinions! You are a soft-hearted girl, don't say more, go back quickly! ”

Zhang Qingting heard it wrong, how could this Xiucai make such a big deal for no reason? Could it be that he already has a countermeasure in mind?

She couldn't guess Zhao Chengcai's intentions for a while, and was pondering there, but she saw Liu Tingting walking out with a smile on her face, and pulled Zhao Yulian back, "Miss Yulian, listen to your eldest brother's words and go back!" The affairs of these men's families are not up to us women. ”

Whoever it is, what's going on with you? How familiar this is when he speaks! Besides, in front of many people, is the girl's maiden name called casually? After all, Zhao Yulian had read a book, and she was slightly annoyed.

But Liu was a country woman, and she didn't know these rules. also wholeheartedly showed her knowledge and righteousness in front of Zhao Chengcai, "The affairs of this family should be decided by men......"

What nonsense are you talking about? My man is here, is it your turn to teach anyone? Zhang Qingting glanced at her lightly, but the warning in his eyes made Liu Shi obviously feel a chill on his body, and he was immediately silenced.

Zhang Qingting stepped forward to help his aunt and took a step back. Liu Shi only felt that his face was gloomy, and he retreated behind them in a daze.

When the troublesome man heard that the county magistrate was coming, his face tightened, and then he was relieved, and he glanced at Niu Dewang twice, and he couldn't say anything. On the contrary, he shouted more and more, "It's okay to invite the county magistrate to come, just make a judgment and sentence this madman to go home!" ”

"Who is this? So sympathetic to the official? There was a lazy question from behind the crowd, "Even the official has to do it for him!" Reward! It must be rewarded! ”

The crowd was in an uproar, Mencius Zhan wore an official uniform and came over with a swagger with the people in the yamen, and Li Hongwen followed behind, bowing slightly at Zhao Chengcai.

The man knew that he had said the wrong thing, so he quickly knelt down and kowtowed, "My lord, spare your life!" People are just angry for a moment, they say the wrong thing, they offend you, and I ask you to forgive me! ”

Mencius squinted at him for a long time, didn't answer first, and looked left and right, "Lord Ben is going to ascend here now." Bother with moving a table and chair out! ”

"I'm coming!" The He family had nothing to do with this matter, it was so close, He Yufeng was very enthusiastic and asked the servants to carry the tables and chairs in the hall out.

The people felt strange, many people had never seen the county magistrate try the case like this, and they quietly surrounded the birds silently.

Mencius Zhan even brought the startled wood, and slapped it hard, quite imposing, "Who is kneeling?" Registered? ”

The man replied, "The man's name is Chu Wu, and he passed by this Niu's rice grain store today, and he wanted to come in to buy some rice noodles, but he met this fat man." He pointed to Niu Dewang, "I wanted to play with people's knives, and people kindly borrowed him, but because he laughed, he took a knife and cut people." Look, my lord, what a wound for such a long time! He stretched out his arm to testify.

This remark was unhurried and leaky. Zhang Qingting secretly scolded in his heart, he must have been prepared!

Mencius looked at the injury, frowned and shook his head, not daring to look at it. only ordered others to step forward, "Cheng Zhu, go and see his injury, report it quickly!" ”

Captain Cheng responded, stepped forward very majestically, took the knife from Niu Dewang's hand, and did not lift the man's sleeve, but directly slashed from his shoulder, tearing off the half of the sleeve, and the wound was obviously exposed in front of everyone.

opened the wound for examination, and new blood gushed out, and Chu Wu was so painful that he inhaled cold air, but he didn't say anything.

Captain Cheng replied after comparing the knife marks, "Lord Hui, this is indeed a knife wound!" The wound was neat, about three inches long and about an inch deep. Now the murder weapon is here, please take a look. ”

Meng Zizhan smiled and nodded in appreciation, "Cheng Zhu is very quick to do things!" ”

Cheng Zhu's chin was almost higher, but he heard Meng Zizhan say sharply to Niu Dewang again, "You kid, you don't know how to be polite, how did you cause serious injuries?" ”

Niu Dewang cried again, "No! Not me! ”

"Big ......" Zhao Yulian looked anxious and wanted to speak, but was stopped by Zhang Qingting, shook her head, and signaled her not to worry.

Zhao Chengcai stepped forward with a dark face, "Brute, kneel down!" The county magistrate asked you. Why don't you answer well? It's obviously you, but can't people wronged you for no reason? ”

Niu Dewang was so frightened that his legs were weak, he sat on the ground with his buttocks, climbed a few steps forward and hugged Zhao Chengcai's thighs, "Cousin! Not me! It's not me! ”

Meng Zizhan frowned and shook his head, "How is this good?" Everyone else says it's you, but you don't admit it, this official doesn't want to be beaten into a trick. Niu Dewang, you should confess quickly! Otherwise, you will be punished. He was afraid that he would not understand, and pointed to the official next to him, "If you don't tell the truth, you will be beaten with a big stick as thick as in their hands!" ”

Niu Dewang cried so much that he wiped Zhao Chengcai's robe with tears, "I didn't lie!" It's not ......"

The people looked at it and wondered, why did this county magistrate have to ask a stupid child to admit his crime? This matter is all here, can't it be decided directly?

Mencius looked distressed, his slender fingers tapping back and forth on the table. He said to himself, "This person has all the evidence, but why does this kid refuse to admit it?" Do you really want to spank him? That official can't bear it! What to do? ”

Hearing him go around there, Zhang Qingting suddenly remembered something in his heart, but before he could fully reveal his true face, just when she was frowning and thinking hard, and was about to come out, Zhao Chengcai stepped forward angrily and suggested. "Then please examine the wound again, so that this beast can be convinced!"

Yes! Zhang Qingting was suddenly empowered, and the layer of window paper in his heart was stabbed open all of a sudden. He definitely didn't believe that Wang'er would really hurt people, so he deliberately made a big deal out of it, and then found out the authenticity by examining the wound.

Ah! Zhang Qingting understood, and his heart was angry and happy. Angry, I thought about it for a long time or fell behind Xiucai, and I was happy. Wang'er has a chance to turn over!

But what's next? It's still the same as last time, can't you follow the vine and find out Xue Zi'an when you find out here? She couldn't help but feel a little angry in her heart, this is really too aggrieved!

Mencius praised loudly, "This method is good! But he frowned again, "But you can't let this kid slash him again just because he wants to verify, right?" ”

"Your Excellency is wise!" Chu Wu was busy patting his ass.

Mencius looked around, "Then who wants to be slashed by him?" ”

As far as the eye could see, the people retreated one after another, but they were secretly laughing in their hearts, this county lord was really confused! How can a case be tried like this?

Qing Song really likes to pretend to be stupid and stunned for his master, and he can't bear the style of pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, and he stepped forward and said, "My lord! You can choose a piece of raw pork with skin, tie it to a stick, and let the child cut it, and you will know the real or fake. ”

"Great idea!" Mencius looked around with a smile, "Then who has extra pork and sticks?" It doesn't matter if you cut this, you can eat it the same! ”

The things were still provided by the He family, and they found a piece of bamboo, tied a piece of raw pork, and held it by Qingsong, so that Niu Dewang could use a knife to cut it.

The fat man was so dizzy that he couldn't figure out the situation, so he didn't dare to take the knife. Zhao Chengcai yelled at him in a low voice, "If you don't cut it, I will punish you for copying books!" ”

Niu Dewang pouted, stood up aggrieved, took the knife, and slashed at the white pork, and immediately threw the knife away, closed his eyes and didn't dare to look at it, "blood ......"

Zhao Chengcai lost no time in deliberately mentioning, "It turns out that you still know that you are afraid of blood!" I thought you weren't afraid of heaven and earth! ”

Mencius lowered his chin a little, and Cheng Zhu immediately stepped forward to check the wound, "It's two inches long, and it's less than half a minute deep." The strength of the hands is weak and weak, which is very different from before. ”

"He did it on purpose!" Chu Wu immediately retorted. "He slashed me so hard!"

Zhao Chengcai asked Niu Dewang viciously, "How did you cut people?" Did you just cut it so hard? ”

The fat man's head shook like a rattle, and he grabbed Zhao Chengcai's hand and gestured, "That's it!" ”

Although it is just an extremely simple action, it is enough to make people understand that this Chu Wu is pressing Niu Dewang's hand and scratching himself by himself!

"You talk nonsense!" Chu Wu shouted loudly, "Am I sick? Why do you cut yourself? Isn't it fun? ”

Mencius chuckled, and then turned to the right tone, "Reasonable!" Reasonable! Cheng Zhukuai, you go forward and check carefully, is this injury scratched by yourself, or was it cut by someone? ”

Cheng Zhukuai's head immediately broke out in a cold sweat, oops! How did you neglect such an important detail? If you use your own strength to harm yourself and be injured by others, the strength, severity, and depth of the knife are all different! No wonder Mencius only praised him for his malice and not for anything else, I think he had already seen through the truth, right?

He didn't dare to be careless this time, and wanted to re-examine the scars, Chu Wu's face changed, "My lord, my wound really hurts!" ”

"It's okay!" Meng Zizhan said with a smile, "It's not that someone pays for the medicine!" What are you afraid of? ”

Cheng Zhukuai was unceremoniously, opened his wound at once, and after careful observation, his face changed greatly, "Lord Hui, this person's injury is flat and flat, slightly inclined to the left, the entrance is shallow, and the exit is deep." This one...... This can't be cut by someone else! ”

Yes? The onlookers were in an uproar! After making trouble for a long time, it turned out that this injury was not cut by the stupid child.

Chu Wu was anxious, desperately making excuses, "This, this is the battle for him to cut me!" ”

"Impossible!" Seeing that it was getting late and hungry, Qingsong couldn't stand such sophistry, handed over the bamboo pole to Cheng Zhukuai, and picked up the scimitar.

"If you are an ordinary person with a strong hand, the injury of holding your right hand should be like this! This should be the case with the left hand. He demonstrated two knives, and the knives were as deep as the bones.

"If it's going to hurt you like this, unless that's it!" He held the knife horizontally, pushed it flat, and then pressed it down around the bamboo, and sure enough, a similar mark appeared.

Chu Wu hurriedly shouted, "That's it!" ”

Qing Song sneered, "Are you bamboo?" Let this kid cut like this and press it down? This knife is so long, how hard can he use it with the handle in this hand? The front is your breast, is your breast made of cotton, and you can take it back if you push it in? ”

The people laughed!

Mencius looked at the piece of pork that was chopped up by the green pine and regretted, "The square is not square, the strip is not stripped, how to eat this?" I had to stew it indiscriminately! ”

When everyone was thinking it was funny, he suddenly slapped the shocked wood again, his face sinking like water, "Chu Wu, why did you come here, you actually mutilate yourself and frame an innocent child, it's really a great crime!" Hurry up and recruit from the truth, otherwise this official will definitely be punished and will never spare you! ”

His official power is really powerful! The people around were all disgraced and secretly frightened.

Only then did Zhao Chengcai lead Niu Dewang to step forward, bow down, and speak angrily, "My lord! My cousin was born when he was young, and he was raised by his widowed mother. In the lonely door, there is only a little blood. He was also seriously ill at the time, which caused him to be stupid, but he was kind-hearted and honest, and he never had a grudge with his classmates in our college for several months, and he never had any insane disease! If you don't believe me, you can confront all the teachers and students! ”

Li Hongwen responded loudly, "Go back to your lord!" What Zhao Xiucai said is true, although Niu Dewang is not good at homework, he is very serious, follows the rules, and has nothing bad to do! ”

Zhao Chengcai waited for him to finish speaking, and then breathed a sigh of relief before saying, "Now, it is really chilling that such an ignorant young child is such a pure and ignorant child who has been slandered and framed by a traitor for no reason, and wants to cut off his life in the future!" I hope that my cousin will avenge his grievances and give him justice! ”

The people next to him felt that the Niu family was pitiful, the husband died, and there was only such a single seedling left, and it was hard to pull it up, and he was still a simple and honest fool, how could he be called a madman by that person? This is too lacking in morality! He also slashed himself to make trouble, I'm afraid he came to seek revenge!

Zhang Qingting heard Xiucai's words, and sighed in his heart, is he really going to be difficult? This is a great opportunity! If it is known that Xue Zi'an deliberately made people slander a fool, I am afraid it will arouse public indignation! However, how can she cooperate with Zhao Chengcai to add fuel to the fire?

Sister Zhang's eyes rolled a few times, and she suddenly rushed forward, covered her face with her sleeves and cried bitterly, pointing at Chu Wu and scolding, "You thief!" Our family has no grievances with you in the past, and there is no enmity in the near future, why do you want to slander my cousin for nothing? ”

Zhao Chengcai glared at her, "With adults here, where is there room for you to speak as a woman?" Go back! But his hands did not move.

This is to let her continue, Zhang Qingting continued to scold Chu Wu, "You are also raised by your parents, maybe you still have children and daughters, why do you want to kill a child so much?" Whom? Hurry up and get your name on! I'm going to hit you and make your chickens and dogs restless!" ”

"Not like words!" Zhao Chengcai frowned, knowing that she had finished scolding, he pushed her back, "What kind of system!" ”

Others are okay, but the Liu family is secretly satisfied, so bad, where is it like a talented lady?

After Zhang Qingting finished saying what he had to say, he retreated for the time being.

Mencius glanced at her with a smile, but he didn't follow Zhang Qingting's train of thought, nor did he panic to torture Chu Wu, but picked up the confiscated scabbard and looked at it carefully, "What a good scabbard!" This gem alone is set in one or two...... Seven pieces, each of them is worth a few taels of silver, right? Qingsong, what do you say? ”

Qing Song shook his head and looked at the new master next to him, "Qing Bai is an expert!" ”

The young master, who looked beautiful and cherished words like gold, finally raised his eyelids, glanced at the knife, and opened his mouth, "Seventy taels, Ben." ”

Mencius Zhan pointed at Chu Wu with a scabbard, "Search!" Look at how much silver he has! ”

Soon, Cheng Capture quickly returned, "A total of thirty-five dollars." ”

Meng Zizhan smiled slightly, "A person who only carries thirty-five Wen on his body, but he is holding a knife worth seventy taels of capital, and he deliberately came to this rice grain store to swagger and deceive, and tried to frame a blame after mutilating his body!" Tell me, is this reasonable? ”

Of course, it is unreasonable, everyone is silent, listen to his analysis.

Mencius looked around, "Can anyone tell me where he is?" Did the fathers and folks of Zaranburg recognize him? Don't be afraid, let's discuss with each other! ”

There was a buzzing sound like a fly in the crowd, but no one really recognized him!

Mencius didn't ask about Chu Wu, but still said to himself, "No one recognizes it, and the origin is unknown." But he rashly made things and intended to blackmail, I'm afraid this knife was also stolen, right? According to the laws of our Bei'an country, whoever steals more than one tael of silver will have one finger cut off. You're seventy taels here, and I'm afraid it's not enough to cut off with your toes! ”

He deliberately misinterpreted the law, without mentioning the number of times, but stretched out his left hand and looked at it, frowning and puzzled, "If there are no toes, people will not be able to see, and it is nothing more than walking unsteadily." But if these fingers are cut off, what can a bare flesh palm do? Slap in the face? ”

"No, it's not! My lord! I didn't steal this knife! Chu Wu finally knew that he was afraid, although this county master looked young, he was really ruthless when he spoke, he didn't dare to take this risk!

"Then where did you get this knife?" Meng Zizhan was not afraid that he would not answer, "If you don't want to say it, it's okay, this official doesn't like to force people the most in his life." It's just that if it is found out by this official, I'm afraid I won't even be able to keep your tongue! ”

Chu Wu's face was all white, and even the cold sweat was taken back, and in late May, he had goosebumps all over his body, and even his teeth were fighting.

"I ...... This one...... ......He stumbled and couldn't say a complete sentence.

Mencius was not in a hurry, just tapped the table with the scabbard at once, the frequency was not fast, the sound was not loud, but at this moment when even a needle fell on the ground could be heard, it was like a heavy hammer hitting people's hearts.

Chu Wu couldn't stand it, and opened his mouth with trembling lips, "This is ...... Be...... Xue ......"

Zhang Qingting's heart was about to mention his throat, and he couldn't wait to rush forward to say it for him, say it! Say it!

"This knife was stolen by the Xue family!" A butler-like figure parted the crowd and stepped forward. I don't know how long he'd been standing in the crowd, or who was following him.

Mencius looked at him playfully, "Which Xue family?" ”

The housekeeper said neither humbly nor arrogantly, "Lord Hui, it is Xue Sanye's home, and everyone in the township knows it." ”

"Really?" Mencius frowned and looked at Qingsong, "You know what? Qing Song shook his head.

Looking at Qingbai again, "You know what? Qingbai replied, "Master, we are new here." ”

"Oh!" Mencius suddenly realized, and asked the crowd again, "Do you know? ”

The people all lowered their heads, Zhao Chengcai looked up to the sky and sneered, and said word by word, "Then who else?" It is Xue Sanye who opened the Silver Hook Gambling House! is to order someone to buy Xue Zi'an, who used ten taels of silver to buy my family's Juewei Zhai formula! ”

The housekeeper's face sank, but he couldn't refute it, Zhao Chengcai didn't say a word of insult, and he was telling the truth.

The people immediately understood, so it was!

Oh, it's not good for this Zhao Xiucai family to offend anyone, but it offended the Xue family! Is the Xue family easy to mess with? No wonder it's so boring! It's really pitiful, a good shop is gone, and now it's still bullying the orphans and widows of other relatives' families, it's really a sin!

However, everyone is also curious, this Zhao Xiucai told the truth in public, so how can the Xue family give up? But how will the county magistrate judge? Does he dare to provoke the Xue family? Can justice be done?

Some of them sneaked home quietly, but more people stayed, and some of them just heard about it and rushed over. In this vast twilight, silently waiting for the result.

Meng Zizhan lowered his head and didn't know what he was thinking, the corners of his mouth actually pouted with a very shallow smile, and after a while, he raised his head and asked the housekeeper, "You said that this knife belongs to yours, so what is the evidence?" ”

The housekeeper stepped forward and pointed out, "The base of this handle and the inside of the scabbard are marked with the character Xue, which was originally placed in my living room for decoration. This Chu Wu, and a guy on my door is a little related, came today, and after a turn around, he found that the knife was short, and we tracked it all the way here. ”

"Lie!" Zhang Qingting couldn't help but reveal the truth, "If he stole the knife from your house, he would hang it on his body to show off, and he even deliberately brought it to our house to make trouble?" Is there such a stupid thief in the world? ”

The housekeeper was a scoundrel, so he followed her words, "There are no surprises in this world, there is such a stupid thief who is lucky, what can I do?" Otherwise, ask him yourself! Chu Wu, you say, did you steal this knife from our house? ”

"I ......" Chu Wuyi stared at the housekeeper with blinking eyes, as if he wanted to seek some comfort from it.

The housekeeper gave him a hint, "It's just a broken hand and a broken foot, since you dare to do it, why don't you dare to be it?" Only a hero who dares to be a good man is worthy of the admiration of our three masters. Do you understand? ”

Chu Wu swallowed his saliva, "I ......"

At this moment, anyone can see the truth, it must be the Xue family who sent Chu Wu to make trouble, and now that something happened, he put the black cauldron on his head to get rid of his suspicion.

But does this Chu Wu dare to agree? Isn't he afraid of breaking his hands and feet?
