"Little boy, are you leaving? I haven't eaten so much good wine and food. ”

Li Bapo looked at Hua Kai who stood up, and hurriedly followed suit.

Hua Kai took out a silver ingot and put it on the table and said with a smile: "I still have something to do, you can eat slowly." ”

"Oh...... Oooh! Send the little boy! ”

Li Bapo looked at the silver ingot on the table with straight eyes, and as soon as Hua Kai left, he immediately picked up the silver ingot with a smile.

"Little Er, check out!" He shoved the silver ingot into his bosom, untied the usual copper coins from his waist, counted out a part, and continued to deal with the food and wine on the table.

Hua Kai walked out of the restaurant, glanced at the old monk who was sitting and chanting in the crowd of people, and then turned to leave.

He had a feeling that he would see this old monk again, and it wouldn't be long.

Back to Zhou's mansion, Zhou Ning went to Yamen, Ling Wei had already returned to Heishi Mountain, although this fox was rescued by him, but it hurt the origin of the monster, it was not so easy to recover, and went back to recuperate.

Hua Kai's own situation is not good, so he naturally can't control others, and he just took advantage of this time to save Zhou Ning's affection, and he was cheeky to recover from his injuries in Zhou's mansion.

There is no one in the house, so there is no need to deal with the overly enthusiastic Zhou Ning, who is in his arms.

After saying a few words to the servants in the house, he instructed the servants not to disturb, and then returned to the room to practice.

At the same time, the county government back hall.

An official wearing a saro head sat high in the hall, pointed to the hall and shouted:

"Zhu San, you still haven't recruited from the truth! How did you kill the husband of the Chan family on Furong Street? ”

There were two kneeling in the hall.

One man was about 20 years old, dressed in prison clothes, with shackles on his hands and feet, his hair was scattered, and his body was covered in blood, and it was evident that he had been tortured many times.

"Big, big...... Small...... Xiaosheng is really wronged......"

He is Zhu San in the mouth of the official, because he has been tortured a lot, he has little strength to speak at this time.

"Dare to quibble! There are all human and material evidence, could it be that you haven't eaten enough of the methods in this prison? ”

"Xiaosheng...... I've never killed anyone! That Zhu San just screamed.

"Humph! Stubborn! ”

The official shouted loudly and pointed to another person kneeling in the hall, an old woman who was over half a hundred years old but still wearing heavy makeup.

"Feng Po, come on, how did this Zhu San murder the husband of the Chen family?"

The old woman hurriedly kowtowed: "Lord County Order, the women really don't know, this matter has absolutely nothing to do with the women." ”

"That day, this Zhu Sheng looked for a woman and asked her to say a family ......affair for him."

The old woman just wanted to get rid of her suspicions, and she didn't dare to hide it in the slightest, nor did she dare to add oil and vinegar to her words as in the past, and she turned her mouth over and over again, and told her reasons one by one.

"The woman asked him what kind of person he wanted, but he didn't know where he got the lady Chen, so he said to the woman that Mrs. Chen was beautiful and elegant, and she was a good match, so she told Mrs. Chen to him."

"The folk woman knows that Mrs. Chen has already been married, how can she respond to him? This Zhu is also a frivolous person in his life, and he often has frivolous words, and the folk woman only laughs with him that day......

When the old woman said this, she suddenly paused and hesitated.

The county commander shouted: "I will talk to him!" ”

The old woman's body trembled, and she didn't dare to hide it: "I laughed with him, if you kill his man, I will think about this family affair with you, Zhu Sheng said at the time: So it is decided." ”

"The women only laugh when he speaks, who knows...... Who knew that more than a month later, I really heard that Mrs. Chen's husband was killed! ”

"My lord, the woman really has nothing to do with this, everything is a joke with him, I really don't know that this Zhu Sheng really dares to kill people, my lord knows it!"

"That's it!" The county commander stopped howling and turned to Zhu Sandao: "Zhu San, what else do you have to say?" It's not from the truth, but you got up to it and killed Chen's husband! ”

"Xiaosheng...... No, no killing...... Didn't kill anyone......"

Zhu San just kept repeating.

The county commander was furious: "Good! Come, you are so stubborn! Escort Zhu San back to prison and continue to serve the torture, if he doesn't confess, he won't stop! ”

"Yes!"

A servant escorted Zhu San down, and Feng Po was temporarily released.

Zhou Ning stood in the hall and watched from the sidelines, and when Zhu San was escorted, he came out and persuaded: "County magistrate, this case is unknown, such torture and torture is really not done by a gentleman, it is better to suspend the torture......"

"Mr. Zhou!"

The county commander waved his hand to interrupt and said impatiently: "What's wrong with this? It is clear that Zhu San is fascinated by lust, and the official thinks that the Chen family is also suspicious, and nine times out of ten she hooked up with Zhu San and killed her husband. ”

"Such gangsters should be punished, so why should Mr. Zhou say anything about these people?"

"But ......"

"Okay, Mr. Zhou, the wicked are in need of torture, so there is no need to say more. Tomorrow, the court will be promoted, and the evil woman of the Chen family will be detained again, and the punishment will be severe, and the case will be revealed. ”

When the words fell, the county magistrate got up and walked away.

Zhou Ning had no choice but to give up and walk out of the back hall.

"Alas......" looked back at the hanging words "Mirror Hanging" in the lobby of the main ya, and couldn't help but sigh heavily.

A scribe who was in the back hall then walked out, and when he saw his appearance, he persuaded: "Mr. Zhou, don't blame the county magistrate for not listening to your advice, the county magistrate is also eager to find out the truth. ”

"Alas, then it shouldn't be tortured to extract confessions, tortured into tricks, how can you determine the truth?"

The scribe shook his head, suddenly looked left and right, leaned over and whispered: "Mr. Zhou doesn't know, the county magistrate's move is actually for another reason. ”

Zhou Ning was stunned: "Oh? Why? ”

The scribe pulled his sleeve and walked out of the county office until he whispered, "Does Mr. Zhou know Hua Gongzhongdao?" ”

"Hua Gong?"

Zhou Ning was stunned for a moment, then stood in awe, and bowed to the sky:

"Naturally, I know that when the dynasty is Dazai, when the world is a great Confucian, who in the world doesn't know? Who is disrespectful? ”

Hua Zhongdao, the great Confucian in the world, the pillar of the imperial court, bears the great hope of the world.

How could Zhou Ning not know?

If there are still virtuous ministers in the imperial court now, it must be this duke.

People of insight in the world know that if there is no Huagong Zhenguo, only holding the sky with one hand, the court would have been rotten and difficult to support, the world would have collapsed, and the world would be in chaos.

"What does this have to do with Hua Gong?"

How can a small murder case involve such a great person?

The scribe smiled mysteriously: "Although this case is a matter of human life, what kind of person is Hua Gong, and where can he take care of everything?" Naturally, it is impossible to take care of this small case, but there are rumors that Hua Gong is no longer in Beijing and is nowhere to be found. ”

"What?!"

Zhou Ning was taken aback: "Hua Gong is the pillar of the imperial court, how can he leave Beijing easily?" Hua Gong is concerned, and his every move is the attention of thousands of people, so how can he not be traced? ”

Seeing that he was anxious, the scribe hurriedly said: "Mr. Zhou, don't worry, Hua Gong's trip is really to inspect the world, not to encounter accidents." ”

"Oh......"

Zhou Ning breathed a sigh of relief, and wondered: "What ......is this?"

The scribe has explained: "The county prince has been mentioned, and the Hua Gong has traveled to Ludi, and it is very likely that he will come to Linzi......"

The scribe didn't say anything further, but Zhou Ning already understood.

With his temperament as a county magistrate, if the big man who has stood up to the sky is coming, how can he tolerate the existence of murders under his rule?

Naturally, the case was settled early, so that the rule was "politically clear", and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, even if they couldn't show their faces in front of Huagong, they could make a safe county order.

"I see."

Knowing the reason for the beginning and the end, Zhou Ning sighed even more in his heart.

"Don't the county magistrates know that if they act like this, if Zhu San is really the murderer, but if this causes an unjust case, aren't you afraid that Hua Gongzhen will come here and ask the county magistrate for the crime?"

The scribe also shook his head and sighed: "Where does the county prince know? I've already persuaded you, but you know ......"

Zhou Ning thought about the character of the county order, and it was really not strange that he could do such a thing.

The two talked for a while, and then they took their own leave.

The next day, the county order was rushed to the court to try the case...... (https:)
