Qian Bancheng couldn't hear Di Renjie's words, and suddenly a drum beat in his heart, and big sweat flowed down his forehead! When Zhao Da heard this, this old man was actually speaking for himself, and his heart suddenly blossomed. looked at Qian Bancheng, who was already trembling with fright, with hygienic eyes, and felt that his innocence had finally been paid off.

"Everyone knows that lard has a strong stickiness, and the reason why the official ordered the incense just now is not really to let the fairy recognize the lord himself, the smoke from this incense wafts onto the jade tripod full of lard, and naturally forms black patches." Di Renjie added.

The people outside the lobby suddenly seemed to have exploded, and there was a loud discussion for a while, Di Renjie had already said it obviously, they couldn't hear the meaning there, just now there were some people who thought that Di Renjie was playing tricks, and now when they heard his explanation, they couldn't help but nod in admiration, it seems that this young and handsome little magistrate really has some Taoism.

In fact, Di Renjie had long suspected that Qian Bancheng was deliberately making false accusations, first, from the moment the jade tripod was taken, Qian Bancheng's eyes never left this jade tripod, and his greedy expression was fully revealed. Second, as for Qian Fu, just now I asked him if he was sure whether he could see whether this jade tripod was Qian Bancheng's thing, and he didn't even pause, so he nodded nonsense and said yes, obviously colluded in advance. Third, it is the scars on Qian Bancheng's arms and legs, the scars are in the form of thin strips, and they are very regular, obviously injured by some kind of thorn object, but this Qian Bancheng said that it was a flat burden, so there is only one possibility, that is, he is lying!

When he found that the jade tripod was full of oil stains, he was even more suspicious of Qian Bancheng, so he came up with such a way to force him to confess.

"Smack..."Di Renjie slapped the wood on the table in surprise and scolded angrily: "Hmph! Qian Bancheng, Qian Fu, what else do you two have to say now? If you don't confess honestly, do you want the official to wait with a big punishment? ”

Qian Fu on the side was so frightened that he collapsed to the ground, and before Qian Bancheng could speak, he snatched it and confessed! hurriedly said: "Adult, spare the big life, and the small one is also forced to be helpless, it is my master who forced the small one to do this!"

At this moment, Qian Bancheng was speechless, watching the dog slave sell him, his hands and feet were cold and trembling, and he couldn't speak.

It turned out that "that day, Qian Bancheng and Qian Fu went to Zhao to cut two catties of fine meat, and it happened that Zhao Da was playing with his beloved jade tripod, which was exactly the same as his own jade tripod, Qian Bancheng saw it in his eyes and remembered it, and found the shopkeeper of the antique shop to help him identify it, it turned out to be an object of the Wei and Jin Dynasties and the Northern and Southern Dynasties, which was made by Sima Liang, the master of the casting tripod at that time, and a pair of jade tripods were refined in a furnace, a male and a female. No matter from the pattern to the weight, the only difference is that the base of the two jade tripods is slightly different. And it just so happened that Qian Bancheng's own family was Gong Yuding, and Zhao was the mother Yuding.

Qian Bancheng wanted to buy it and make up a pair, but Zhao Da refused to sell it, and said that it was his family's heirloom and could not be sold! That's why Qian Bancheng came up with such a way to frame Zhao Da, and he also asked his family member Qian Fu to perjury for him! ”

Qian Bancheng, who had been relieved for a long time, was already stunned after listening to Qian Fu's confession, but he didn't expect this Qian Fu to retreat from the battle and put all the responsibility on himself. mustered up his strength and pushed Qian Fu to the ground. scolded: "Fuck, you son of a bitch, Lao Tzu treats you well on weekdays, and now he actually betrays Lao Tzu!" ”

"Bold! Qian Bancheng, you dare to beat people in court! Do you want to be beaten again? Di Renjie shouted loudly. I can't help but laugh in my heart.

Qian Bancheng hurriedly shut up, burying his head and not daring to speak.

"Why don't you confess quickly?"

"It's... Be... Xiaomin recruited, Xiaomin recruited, it was the small people who wanted to deceive Zhao Da's heirloom Yuding, please be gracious! Qian Bancheng kowtowed vigorously and begged for mercy.

"Humph! If you want to seek other people's money and falsely accuse others, your crime will be increased by one degree, and you should be in prison according to the law, and the official will read that your confession is timely, so he will be sentenced to 50 canes, and then accompany Zhao Dawen 10 taels of silver! Di Renjie said sternly, and after speaking, he stared at Qian Fu again, and said: "You slave, colluding with your master to frame you, it is also an unforgivable crime, but you are an accomplice, and you confess in time, you will be punished with 30 canes and 10 taels of silver, and you two can accept the sentence?" ”

"The little people... Served... The small people are served! ”

"The little ones are also served!"

The two nodded again and again, and then Di Renjie asked a few officials to drag out the two of them, and beat them wildly, and then asked the two of them to take out the fine silver and hand it over to Zhao Da, so he asked someone to take him out. In his mouth, he called out to the master of the blue sky.

Di Renjie ordered the two Qian family to be sent out of the court, and the case was completely closed.

The two of them had just gone out, and a young man broke in below, and knelt on the ground with a pop: "Wronged, wronged... The ancestral hall of my family was stolen, and a large number of ancient wooden furniture disappeared overnight. ”

Liu Zhutou stepped forward angrily and kicked the person over, and said angrily: "Did anyone call you to the court, crying early in the morning!" ”

Di Renjie waved his hand and motioned for Liu Zhutou to step aside.

"This little brother, don't cry, even if there is something to do, the lower officials will do their best to help." Di Renjie comforted.

The young man held tears in his eyes: "The little one's name is Liu Wu, a native of Chiling Village." Yesterday on the fifth watch, the little one got up as usual to untie his big hand, and was about to go back to the house to sleep, when he heard a wild dog barking near the ancestral hall. So the little one went around the pole house near the Liu ancestral hall, and found no unusual movement, so he went back to sleep in the house.

Until early in the morning, there was a cry from the ancestral hall: "The ancestral hall has been stolen!" "Soon, the villagers gathered at the ancestral hall, and I got up to see what was going on, and found that the stone pillars connecting the entrance of the ancestral hall and the two stone statues at the entrance had disappeared overnight. After that, I checked other places, and it turned out that a table of eight immortals and a few Taishi chairs were nowhere to be found. After that, the villagers who rushed to the scene had to frame the little one, saying that it was the little one who lured the thief to steal the treasure left by the ancestors. The little one is really wronged, and the adult has to call the shots for me! ”

"Oh? And such things. When was your family ancestral hall built? Di Renjie asked solemnly.

"Our Liu ancestral hall was built in the Jian'an period of the Later Khan year, which has a history of more than several hundred years, and the ancestors of the past dynasties have also left their own relics, which still retain the original appearance. Although it is dilapidated, it has gathered dozens of generations of people in the village to pay homage to their ancestors. "

Di Renjie stared at Liu Wu without rubbing his eyes, listening to his words and looking at his appearance, he could judge the authenticity of his words.

"Liu Zhu, immediately ordered to go down to the north and south gates of Zhangwu County to set up road checkpoints to check the people entering and leaving, and the rest of the people went to Chiling Village with the county, Shuqi, you will not move in the county office, and you will respond at any time." After receiving the order, Liu Zhu quickly took ten native soldiers to act, and Shuqi did the same.

Chiling Village, the folk customs are simple, the environment is beautiful, not too far from the county seat but more than ten miles, but the mountain road traffic is also quite inconvenient. The people in the village heard that the new arrival in Zhixian County came to the village to handle the case, this is still a new thing, young and strong, old and weak, women and children, almost all the people in the village went out to see the excitement.

The village was accompanying Di Renjie to the Liu ancestral hall, pointing to the scene of the crime and saying: "The little one who went out to meet yesterday only learned the bad news this morning, and learned that the stone pillars, stone statues and furniture were stolen. The ancestral hall building was originally very ancient, and now there are a few antiquities missing, I'm sorry for my ancestors! ”

At this time, other villagers stepped forward to report: "Lord Zhixian, these thieves have come and gone without a trace. When the furniture of the ancestral hall was stolen, except for the barking of the dog, the whole village did not hear any other movement, and it is really incomprehensible that so many large objects are gone. ”
