Chapter 348 Two Mouths of Official Characters
Since ancient times, the most profitable way to make money has been written in the law.
On the side of the Great Xia Empire, it is very profitable to sell illicit salt and weapons, and the laws of Great Xia have them.
On the Azure Star side, pornography, gambling, drugs and the like are also very profitable, and traces of them can also be found in the law.
People have no windfall and no wealth, and horses have no night grass and no fat.
Seeing wealth and killing people to seize treasures, in addition to breaking the law, can essentially make people rich.
Xu's pawnshop is not to make money?
Xu Feiyang, a hot-blooded scholar, may be angry at the pawnshop for lowering prices, or maybe he has a clear conscience, in short, he came out to testify.
"Are you willing to go to the pawnshop to arrest the murderer of Zhang Erqiao?" Wei Wu asked.
"Xiaosheng is willing." Xu Feiyang said righteously.
The group left the county government and went straight to the Xu pawn shop, and after a while, they came to their destination.
The shopkeeper Xu Jiang hurriedly greeted him and asked with a smile: "Wei Zhutou, who are you?" ”
"Who is it?" Wei Wu turned around and asked.
"That's him." Xu Feiyang stretched out his hand and pointed at a guy.
"Take him down." Wei Wu shouted.
The two catchers nodded quickly and grabbed Xu Bo, the pawn shop's buddy.
"Wei Zhutou, why are you arresting our pawnshop?" Xu Jiang asked, Xu Biao, the owner of the pawn shop, is the younger brother of Xu Feng, the magistrate of the county, and he is not afraid of these quick catches in front of him.
"Someone pointed out that he killed Zhang Erqiao, and this head arrester also acted according to the rules." Wei Wu said.
"Wei Zhutou, do you have any evidence?" Xu Jiang asked.
"We have witnesses." After Wei Wu finished speaking, he stretched out his hand and said, "Let's go!" ”
Seeing the people of the yamen, they took Xu Bo away, and a guy asked; "Shopkeeper, what are we going to do?"
"Hurry up and inform the master." Xu Jiang said.
Not long after Wei Wu and the others returned to the county office, Xu Biao came to the county governor's mansion.
"Second brother, why are you so flustered?" Xu Feng asked.
"Big brother, Xu Bo was arrested." Xu Biao said.
"Who caught you?" Xu Feng asked.
"Caught by the guards of your county government." Xu Biao said.
"Why was Xu Bo arrested?" Xu Feng asked again.
"Someone accused him of killing Zhang Erqiao." Xu Biao said.
"This is easy to do, you go find a few people, and when I am promoted, look at my eyes...... waited for the opportunity to identify the celebrity card, and said that he killed Zhang Erqiao. Xu Feng said calmly.
"Big brother, you still have a way." Xu Biao said with admiration.
"With just one witness, without any physical evidence, I want to convict Xu Bo, I, the magistrate of Erqiao County, am I not in vain? As long as you are willing to spend money, let alone one person, even thousands of people can find it. Xu Feng said.
"Big brother, I'll arrange it." Xu Biao said.
"Don't ask someone from our Xu family to testify." Xu Feng reminded.
"Yes!" Xu Biao nodded in response.
Bo Li Yuantu, the county lord of Erqiao, walked over quickly, and said calmly: "Lord Xu, Zhang Dashan of Zhangjia Village, sued Xu Botu for killing his younger brother Zhang Erqiao. ”
"This official will go over and raise the matter to the court." Xu Feng answered, changed into an official uniform and walked to the county office.
Seeing him coming, the eight cousins struck the ground with water and fire sticks and shouted in unison: "Might! ”
"Smack!" There was a loud bang, but it was Xu Feng who picked up the startling wood and slapped the table hard.
Xu Bo looked proud, and Xu Feiyang and Zhang Dashan were taken aback.
"Zhang Dashan, what grievances do you have, even if you tell me, this official, as the magistrate of Erqiao County, will definitely uphold justice for you." Looking at the three kneeling people in the hall, Xu Feng said in a high-sounding voice.
"My lord, the grass people sued Xu Bo, the pawn shop buddy of the Xu family, and killed Zhang Erqiao, the younger brother of the grass people." Zhang Dashan said.
"Is there any evidence?" Xu Feng asked.
"My lord, Xiao Sheng can testify that Xiao Sheng saw Xu Bo kill Zhang Erqiao with his own eyes." Xu Feiyang said.
"Who are you?" Xu Feng asked.
"Xiaosheng Xu Feiyang." Xu Feiyang said.
"Where do you live?" Xu Feng asked.
"Xiaosheng's family lives in Qingshan County." Xu Feiyang said.
"In Erqiao County, is there a place to stay?" Xu Feng asked again.
"Xiaosheng temporarily lives at Yuelai Inn." Xu Feiyang said.
Xu Biao, who was outside the hall, smiled knowingly, walked to the side with a servant, and whispered a few words.
"Since you saw Xu Bo kill Zhang Erqiao, do you know where the murder weapon is?" Xu Feng asked again.
"Adult, I don't know." Xu Feiyang shook his head.
"Based on your words alone, there is no other corroboration, how can this official conclude that it was Xu Bo who killed Zhang Erqiao?" Xu Feng asked.
"Big, adult, it's really Xiaosheng who saw it with his own eyes." Xu Feiyang said hesitantly.
"Who reported the crime?" Xu Feng asked again.
"My lord, it's a case reported by the grass people." Zhang Dashan said.
"When did you report the crime?" Xu Feng asked.
"About three o'clock in the afternoon." Zhang Dashan said.
"Xu Feiyang, this official asked you, when did you see Xu Bo kill Zhang Erqiao?" Xu Feng asked.
"Xiao Sheng was about two minutes in the morning, and he saw Xu Bo kill Zhang Erqiao." Xu Feiyang said.
"When you saw someone committing a crime, you didn't stop it, and you didn't come to the county office to report the case afterwards, and only ran to the county office to testify after a few hours, what is your intention?" Xu Feng asked.
"My lord, Xiaosheng is just a scholar who has no power to restrain his chickens." Xu Feiyang said in panic.
"Even if you are a powerless scholar who does not dare to save people because you are afraid, then you should come to the county office to report the case, why did you come out to testify after a few hours?" Xu Feng asked step by step.
"Small, small, Xiaosheng got lost because he was afraid." Xu Feiyang said.
Xu Feng glanced outside the hall and blinked without a trace.
Xu Biao, who came to his senses, whispered to a few people around him: "Don't say it." ”
"My lord, I'm going to report it." A young man shouted.
"Who's outside the hall? Come in and talk! Xu Feng asked.
"Wei Cai, Weijia Village, Caomin, has seen Lord Chen." The youth said.
"What's the matter with you?" Xu Feng asked.
"My lord, the grass people sued Xu Feiyang and killed Zhang Erqiao in Zhangjia Village for silver." Wei Cai said.
"My lord, I was wronged, Xiaosheng didn't kill anyone." Xu Feiyang shouted in panic.
"My lord, the grass people saw him kill with their own eyes." Wei Cai said.
"Xu Feiyang, you stop talking to the official, the official didn't let you speak, who is the murderer, the official will find out clearly, Wei Cai, falsely accusing others of murder, the official's water and fire stick, is not a vegetarian." Xu Feng said angrily.
"The grass people don't dare, this morning, the grass people went out to hunt pigweed, and they happened to see Xu Feiyang, stabbed Zhang Erqiao to death with a dagger, and then took a hundred taels of silver from the other party." Wei Cai said.
"Why are you only here to testify about the murder that happened in the morning?" Xu Feng asked.
"When Xu Feiyang killed Zhang Erqiao, he started cleanly, and the grass people were afraid that he would know." Wei Cai said.
"If you are afraid of him, why do you dare to testify now?" Xu Feng asked.
"He is here in the county government, and the grass people are naturally not afraid." Wei Cai said.
"What evidence is there other than that you saw him kill?" Xu Feng asked again.
"My lord, the grass people saw him bury the murder weapon under a tree, and as for where he got the money, the grass people don't know." Wei Caixu said matter-of-factly.
"The four of you accompany him to find the murder weapon, don't let him escape." Xu Feng said.
"Yes!" The four catchers nodded in response.
"The four of you go to the Yuelai Inn to see if you can find the silver of the deceased Zhang Erqiao." Xu Feng said.
