Chapter 397: Two Passages
"That's not right." Zhu Zhanao stood up.
The reason why he stood up when refuting Torrent Ran was not Lu Mingci, the very simple reason was that there was a Yan Guo person in their family.
Chang Pingchuan, now that he is going to Liangzhou, it was his sister who arranged for him to transport licorice back to Ganzhou, otherwise he might be more convincing if he was here.
"What's wrong?" Hong Liuran looked at the drooping child and was very annoyed, and asked angrily.
"When my sister used to buy the subordinates in the house, she bought the people of Yan Kingdom. He was a sergeant who was captured by our Hua Dynasty and sold here. When I was at our house, I often asked him about the customs of Yan Kingdom. Yan is also like us, there are three provinces and six departments, and there are imperial examinations. But their nobility is the examination of the aristocracy, and the ordinary people are the examination of ordinary people, and it is very difficult for the people below to rise to the top. County officials like this are aristocrats, and how oppressive they are to the untouchables. Could it be that the air in Yan is fresher than that of my Hua Dynasty? ”
Torrent stopped talking.
The imperial examination system was the most talked about system in the Chinese Dynasty, although the number of people on the list every year was very small, but the scholars of the world were never tired of it. The culture of reading is also flourishing year by year.
The Hua Dynasty was surrounded by the Yan Kingdom, the Qiuci Kingdom, the Gaochang Kingdom and other countries, but in terms of the means of selecting talents and the importance of the imperial examination, the system of the Hua Dynasty was really the best.
A few years ago, there was also a case of fraud in the imperial examination, and all officials involved in this fraud case, whether they were royal nobles or clan relatives, were all beheaded. No one in the whole country dared to deceive the imperial examination.
And the torrent has been on the mountain for a long time, thinking that the darkest way in this world is just like Wudang Mountain.
Only Jin Yuanjing knew that there were many more terrifying and darker things in the outside world. In a sense, Wudang Mountain and the Nine Palaces and the Ancestral Hall do not look down on each other, and it is only a small and small problem.
"Jin Daochang, you came out of Wudang Mountain, and you have also been to other places to see it, is this true?"
Jin Yuan Jingyuan sat on the stool, and then he walked in front of Hong Liuran and smiled at him.
"It's true, it's just that there's so much you haven't seen. But after following me, there are a lot of such things. ”
Torrent was a little annoyed and returned to his original seat and sat down.
A small dispute ended, and everyone continued to discuss how to rescue Zhu Hongyu and bring down the current county order of Yunmeng Town.
The Taoist priests of Wudang Mountain naturally have no real power, and the most they can do is to support a field.
In order to avoid disputes again, Jin Yuanjing persuaded everyone to leave with them.
In terms of identity, he is now a prison that is not recognized by Chaoyunguan, so he can only leave.
In the guest hall, only the people with the rank of the imperial court were left, including Zhu Amber, who also withdrew, because she felt that this was a place for men to speak, and she was not good at interjecting.
A group of brocade guards, masters, and transport envoys discussed in the house for a long time, and only came out when it was time for lunch, with smiles on their faces.
Soon, the news of Zhu Hongyu's arraignment came.
Normally, the county magistrate does not inform the prisoner in advance, but the county magistrate's master learned the news when he was sorting out the official documents, and then he told the female jailer he was good at.
The jailer told Zhu Hongyu, and Zhu Hongyu used silver to tell the news to Fugui of Huimin Pharmacy, and asked Fugui to report to his family.
That is, on the third day after Runye arrived in Peach Blossom Village, the news of the arraignment came.
Originally, they planned to go to the county government on this day, and they unknowingly dealt with this matter, but who knew that the county official was unwilling to wait silently, and everyone suddenly changed their plans and planned to make this matter bigger.
In short, they believed that it was impossible for the people of Yunmeng Town to be unreasonable.
So everyone packed up their clothes, Lu Mingci put on a flying fish suit, Runye put on a good robe and wore a boxwood crown, and Zhu Zhanao also wore his newly made clothes on his body.
Zhu Zhanao should have official uniforms, and Runye should be well-known all over the world, but one is that he does not do things in the first month of the New Year, and the other is that the administrative efficiency of the three provinces is low.
The end result is just waiting.
Maybe after dealing with the matter of Zhu Hongyu, there will be news as soon as they return to Bianjing.
The guards led by Lu Mingci are twelve guards, which is also the standard for Jinyi Wei to travel to thousands of households.
He still didn't want to call himself the deputy commander of Jinyiwei, but the news from Zhongshu Province still kept a low profile and waited for the official promotion.
Zhu Hongyu was handwritten and dragged out of the women's prison. may be because of the long-term lack of sunlight, Zhu Hongyu's feet are ulcerated and inflamed, and because of the humid weather in Ganzhou, it is not necessarily good to get sick in prison.
It's been three days like this, and when she wants to come out again, she can only be dragged away.
Du Yuexiao's situation is better, he has been running around all these years, and his physique is strong, so there is nothing uncomfortable, but the prison life in the past few days has made him unkempt.
A big man is probably not very good at handling his own life, but good health is already a blessing in misfortune.
The two of them met together in the lobby of Yunmeng Town.
This is the place where they used to stand and talk to the county lord, but now they are just grass people with a case.
"Smack!"
Shocked, the two classes of officials shouted "Wei...... Wu ......"
Zhu Hongyu and Du Yuexiao knelt in the hall, and it had been half a month since the last arraignment.
Kneeling in the hall, Zhu Hongyu looked at the county lord or the county lord, Zhu Zhanao, Zhu Amber, Lu Mingci, Jin Yuanjing, and Runye, none of them appeared, and her heart was cold and uncomfortable.
I don't know what happened, even Runye didn't show up, and he still said a lot of things in prison that day!
Zhu Hongyu naturally felt sullen, but she couldn't say anything, so she waited for the county official to answer.
"Bold sinner, speak wildly! Dare to fabricate a murder case for this official to inspect and visit! ”
"Is there a corpse in that well?"
Zhu Hongyu was also a little annoyed, and went back directly.
She was already dissatisfied with today's officials, and what she hated the most was kneeling in the hall, but she didn't expect that the thing she hated the most was now making her cycle again and again.
This time she chose not to remain silent.
Liu Shaotong looked at Zhu Hongyu and was stunned for a long time, and suddenly became annoyed.
"Above the lobby, speak out! Come on, give me a slap. ”
One of the two classes of officials came out, holding a ring ruler in his hand, and Zhu Hongyu was not afraid when he saw it, and he beat the ring ruler twice.
In the end, these officials received the favor of Zhu Hongyu, and they didn't beat it hard.
But Zhu Hongyu's face was brushed with two red ring ruler marks, which were also painful.
Feeling the pain, Zhu Hongyu took a long breath, then gently touched her cheek with her hand.
The cheeks are quickly congested, red, swollen, numb, and the hot feeling could not be more real.
Seeing that Zhu Hongyu's momentum was weakened, Liu Shaotong continued: "I have also been to your house, and I will send someone there the day after you move out to make a confession." You also have a sister at home, and a few maids. It's not that I said, if it weren't for the fornication of your men and women, you would have the money to buy such a house? It's nothing, there really are corpses in your dry well. ”
Du Yuexiao looked at Zhu Hongyu in horror, and didn't care whether it was right or wrong to talk casually in the lobby, and hurriedly asked, "Hongyu, what's the matter with this corpse?" ”
Liu Shaotong slammed on the startling wood and forcibly stopped Du Yuexiao's words.
"It's the other way around, the official hasn't finished speaking, where is your turn!"
Du Yuexiao swallowed what he wanted to say into his stomach, and he didn't dare to say anything more.
If Zhu Hongyu was not guilty, he could still argue and argue, but where did the people from the well come from? He thought it was just a lie, who knew that Zhu Hongyu's lie was so true.
"Zhu Hongyu, you made up the story well, but remember to be more rigorous next time. The official had it examined, and the corpse was a woman's skeleton, and it was wearing women's clothing. Tell me, if the person you and Du Yuexiao killed was Taoist Runye, I would also inquire with the people in Peach Blossom Village. It's true that Runye hasn't been seen for months, but he's a man. ”
To be honest, Zhu Hongyu really doesn't believe that in the era when "Materia Medica" had just been revised by Cui Heyue, forensic science was at the forefront of the times.
Examination of the bones can show whether the sufferer is male or female, which is a landmark method in forensic science. It may be because of the slow development of medicine that forensic science can be at the forefront of the times, and if there are too many people who die, we will know how people die.
Liu Shaotong was very satisfied when he saw that Zhu Hongyu didn't speak, looked at her with a smile from his superiors, and listed the results of his investigation in the past few days to her one by one.
In order to show his ability as a county official, he broke the lies compiled by Zhu Hongyu in just half a month.
"Also, who your family's bones are, this official has also found out. This is also thanks to the people of Peach Blossom Village, I put the bones in front of Zhao Lizheng's house, so that the whole village can come and identify them. There is a tailor surnamed Liu in the village, who said that she cut this dress, and the person wearing this dress seems to be a descendant of your family. I asked people to go to Ya Po again, and she confirmed that the bones were the girl she had sold, and called them Ganoderma lucidum. I used to serve in a big family. Since it is a population bought and sold by Yapo, it is a property that can be disposed of by you casually, and it is nothing. But you actually used this skeleton to deceive the official, it is simply a crime that cannot be punished! ”
Zhu Hongyu slowly raised his head, and he looked at Liu Shaotong, his eyes full of annoyance.
"You are the parent official of this county, and Du Yuexiao and I did good deeds but were framed and imprisoned by you! Is it you or me who is guilty of unrepunpitable crimes! ”
"It's the other way around!"
Liu Shaotong frantically knocked on the shocking wood on the table, and he threw out the wooden stick in front of him.
"Hit me, hit me hard! Kill this Diao Min! ”
The officials did not dare to disobey, and put Zhu Hongyu in the spot.
There were screams from the lobby, but Zhu Hongyu was still scolding.
Sometimes, Zhu Hongyu felt that she was also a ruthless person, and she was not afraid at all when such a wooden stick fell on her deep mountain. It's because he can't get used to seeing this person sitting in the position of the county magistrate, so he poured out all his anger.
The pain was not enough for her to take her words back.
