Chapter 40: I Recruit
The county commander Gao Peng slept comfortably, woke up and played in the water with the newly acquired concubine in the house for a while before leaving the house.
After breakfast, I leisurely changed into a robe and went to the yamen.
Today is the opening of Bai Dalang's case of stealing the treasure flute, and the human and material evidence has been all early, he just went to walk through the hall, and he can come back for a good nap after he is busy.
What are you going to do next?
Do you take a few concubines to watch a play, or do you ......
Gao Peng was pondering, and came to face the master in the yamen.
"Your Excellency!" The master bowed down and looked at him and said, "Then the Bai family also invited a lawyer!" ”
"Hmm." Gao Peng didn't care, and sneered, "Please please, can you still overturn the case?" This group of fools of the Bai family, spending silver in vain, tsk! ”
It's really that the poorer the bones, the harder the bones, let alone inviting a lawyer, in this case, it is useless for the Bai family to invite the king of heaven and Laozi!
That person's evidence and physical evidence are all ironclad, what kind of waves can such an orphan and widow of the Bai family make?
When Gao Peng thought of the Bai family, he turned around and asked, "Who is from the Bai family?" ”
"It's the wife of the Bai family, Liu."
"Hmm." Gao Peng put his mind at ease, the Haicheng Bai family didn't interfere in this matter, that's right.
He squinted and smiled, "I heard that the Bai family has three sons and a widowed mother, you said that if they can't pay the money, it's okay to pay two widows......"
The news of Bai Erlang's marriage has not yet reached the city.
Master almost fell to the ground, "My lord! That Mrs. Bai is almost fifty years old......"
Gao Peng lifted the belt around his waist and licked his lips, "That's also a second-grade lady!" ”
He hadn't tasted Mrs. Erpin's taste in bed yet.
The master buried his head, only to feel that he was going to vomit out of last night's meal.
The hour had come, Gao Peng walked through the hall door and bypassed the screen, just poked his head out, and was startled.
What battle this is?
The front of the hall was densely packed with hundreds of people, all dressed as ordinary people from Haicheng, chatting happily, some of them were still knocking peanuts and melon seeds, watching him like a monkey play.
When was the county hall so lively?
"Sheng-Tang-" The master shouted, and the officials raised their long sticks in unison, "Might-martial-"
The surroundings calmed down, and when they saw the county commander coming out, they no longer dared to speak out.
Gao Peng had never been watched by so many people since he became the commander of Haicheng County, so he calmed down and walked out from behind the screen with triumphant steps.
came to sit firmly under the plaque of "Mirror Hanging", patted the "shocking wood", and shouted with full anger: "Today, the trial of Bai Xu's case of stealing the treasure goods of the Sun family dart will be held, and the plaintiff and the defendant will be brought to court!" ”
Footsteps and chains sounded.
The plaintiff was the housekeeper of the Sun Mansion, who went to court with a coffin and handed the complaint to the secretary's office, and then the secretary's office submitted it to Gao Peng.
Bai Xu, who was wearing anklet handcuffs, raised his head, his face was full of stubble, his hair was slightly messy, but his expression was calm and indifferent, and he looked at the lawyer and Liu Shi standing aside for a moment, and then looked ahead calmly.
The case is simple.
After reading the complaint, Gao Peng checked the facts stated in the complaint as usual, and then asked the plaintiff for personal evidence, and then for physical evidence.
Of course, the witness was the same dart master that day, and the testimony was that only Bai Xu had the possibility of approaching the wooden box, and a sharp weapon that could open the copper lock was found in Bai Xu's bag.
Although no one was able to get all the stolen goods, Bai Xu was already convicted.
The lawyer invited by the Sun family is a frequent visitor to the county government, and he knows that Gao Peng's habit is to close the case as quickly as he can, and in a few words, Bai Xu's crime is firmly settled.
Almost even the dart master can tell which eye sees Bai Xu doing it!
Which side wins and which side loses, basically does not need Gao Peng to decide.
When the onlookers saw this, they all felt that Xie Banxian was talking nonsense and fooling them in vain.
As for the Bai family's case, the case was overturned, dreaming, right?
Still Zhaoxue? It's almost the same to use this money to ask the Taoist priest to summon the spirit!
After listening to what the Sun family said, Gao Peng squinted his eyes and looked at Bai Xu, who had been standing quietly beside him, "Bai Dalang, the evidence is conclusive, what else do you have to justify, whether to move or not?" ”
Bai Xu raised his eyes, met Gao Peng's gaze, and said lightly: "I'll move!" ”
The next "bang" is a piece, and the two words are like stones smashing the water waves!
Bai Jialang recruited?
Anyway, I still have some hopes, and the viewers who want to see the Bai family's case overturned have completely broken their eyes!
That's it?
Gao Peng was also stunned and recruited ...... Isn't the case going to be closed?
Then what did the Bai family do with a thin lawyer?
Gao Peng was a little confused, and said casually, "What are you recruiting?" ”
Bai Xu said loudly: "I, Bai Xu, confess that I have always coveted the treasure flute escorted by the Sun family's Zhenyuan Dart Bureau.
"On the first night of returning to Haicheng with the Zhenyuan Dart Bureau, while the dart master was sleeping, he secretly used the lock-picking needle in his bag to remove the copper lock, and opened the box to take away the bone flute."
The words are clear and can be heard from the outside.
Gao Peng breathed a sigh of relief, this is consistent with what was said in the complaint, and the case can be closed.
The outside spectators all lowered their heads, this scene is not good at all, it is boring, it is too boring, it is a waste of energy, and it is a waste of melon seeds.
People want to disperse.
"Bai Xu knows that his sins are unforgivable, and he can't escape the restoration of the heavenly net, and he is willing to confess that Baodi will compensate the Sun family for his sins!"
Everyone's hearts "chuckled".
The people who had just lifted their feet to leave took their feet back one after another, and forgot to throw them away while pinching the shell in their hands after swallowing melon seeds.
Gao Peng, who was thinking about going to listen to the play in the next morning, pinched Tangmu's hand and paused.
Even the clerk who took the pen to record the case raised his eyes to Bai Xu.
"Where's the flute?" Gao Peng asked, feeling a little weak in his heart after asking, and he didn't know what the problem was.
Bai Dalang said loudly: "Bai Xu is obsessed with the Qianqian girl of Shuiyunlou, and he stole the flute just to offer the favor of the Baobo Qianqian girl." In order not to involve Qianqian, I have been holding back and not saying anything, but now I know that the guilt is inevitable, so I have to confess!
"Please also ask the county magistrate to invite Miss Qianqian immediately, Bai Xu personally explained to her the guilt and made amends, and asked her to return the stolen goods! Miss Qianqian doesn't know about it, and please don't involve the innocent! ”
"Whoa!" The crowd outside exploded again.
Did the flute take the top card to curry favor with Shui Yunlou?
It is well known that Miss Qianqian is good at dancing, and it is understandable to steal treasures and offer beauties.
What's more, that Qianqian is too difficult to invite, and you can't see it even if you spend dozens of taels of silver!
Most of the people in Haicheng have heard of her name, how have they ever seen such a legendary person!
At this moment, I heard that Qianqian was going to be invited to come out to confront the court and return the stolen goods, and everyone was more excited than seeing the emperor and queen go on patrol!
This can earn a hundred and ten taels of silver at a glance!
"Go and invite Miss Qianqian!" Someone shouted.
"That's right! Go and invite Miss Qianqian! "The commotion came and went.
A few of the good people outside had already run out into the street and called for someone to come and see the Oiran.
"Qianqian also played the flute to accompany the Wei family to drink the night before, I heard that the bone flute used is this!" Someone said matter-of-factly.
"I heard it too!" One of them chimed in, "The sound of that flute is indeed beautiful!" ”
"Cut, you kid blow! Can you enter the Water Cloud Building? ”
"You can go in, can you manage it?"
"Listen to it in the stable!" Someone joked, causing a burst of laughter.
Anyway, the news of Qianqian playing music with the bone flute to accompany the wine spread in the crowd.
The more it spreads, the more mysterious it becomes, everyone is almost sure that what Bai Xu said is true!
Gao Peng sat in the hall and his face was blue and white for a while, how did he come to this point?
To please or not to please? That's a problem......
No matter how popular Qianqian is, she is also a prostitute, and she is still a prostitute who doesn't look down on him, he has long wanted to fix this girl!
But Qianqian is Sun Houye's person, he dares to move?
Gao Peng looked at his master.
The master looked at the crowd outside, leaned over and whispered, "So many people are watching, you can't do it if you don't invite it!" You do two ways, one way to report to Hou Ye, and one way to invite Miss Qianqian. As for how to get it over there, let's just listen to Master Hou. ”
Gao Peng breathed a sigh of relief and did it!
A shot was shocked, "Passing the water cloud building, Qianqian!" ”
