Chapter 33: Strange
Chu Shenzhu only showed two long legs from the carriage, and the two splashers and handlebar style nervously and wittily quietly opened the distance between them and Zhang Rui, with an expression that I was not familiar with him.
Seeing Chu Fan embarrassed again, he took out the iron ruler and walked over with a murderous face, and he was even more silent. I didn't dare to make any small movements, and I didn't even dare to breathe in the atmosphere.
Well, Zhang Dagongzi seems to be about to be settled by the Autumn Queen, don't get burned.
Sure enough, Chu Dashen stood with his legs crossed, rotated the iron ruler in his palm like a wind wheel, and shouted:
"Zhang Rui, are you guilty?"
Zhang Rui grew up with a whip, and was almost distracted by a whip, and his shoulders and back were hot and painful. After suffering a big loss, he was much more well-behaved at the moment, and he didn't dare to raise his head, and he said in a sincere fear:
"Below, the little one...... I really don't know. ”
"Hmph, someone accused you of robbing property in broad daylight and forcibly abducting people's daughters in the downtown area. In the southern district of Yangwu County, at least a few hundred people witnessed it with their own eyes, do they still want to deny it?"
"Oops, wronged...... That Yan Yi has been a slave to my family for generations......"
As soon as he heard this, Yan Yi, who was stuffing the sack into the carriage, turned his head, snorted fiercely, and scolded:
"My slave deed was burned in public by your father, and I was restored to civilian status. Now I go to Qinghe Township to ask, and everyone in the township knows. The wolf-hearted and dog-lung things are in vain, and a handful of and urine are the size of the mouthful, and there is a mouthful of gruel for you to eat first. My father worked hard, and all the money he earned was put on your own to build a house and buy a land......"
Zhang Rui was unashamed and argued:
"Your father is a slave in my family, and of course the money he earns is mine, and of course the land he bought is also mine. Your slave deed was burned, but your father's deed was not burned......"
"Alright, alright, don't argue. Otherwise, Hugh blames the iron ruler for being ruthless. ”
Chu Fan interrupted them, his eyes widened, and he pointed at Zhang Rui and said:
"You say his father is a slave to your family, do you have a certificate? if not...... Hehe, unfortunately Chu went out in a hurry today and forgot to bring a rope to tie up the prisoner. had to wronged Zhang Gongzi, broke his legs to prevent escape, and then threw himself into the county jail. According to the law, when the autumn queen asks for beheading. Oh, it's autumn now, whether you can eat the moon cakes of the Mid-Autumn Festival or not depends on your own creation, and it has nothing to do with someone in Chu. Set foot on Huangquan Road, and don't look back in your life. Don't blame, don't blame ......"
Chu Dashen's words were intimidation, but they were not all intimidation.
If Zhang Rui didn't have a certificate, he would have convicted the two major crimes of robbery and robbery, and he didn't run away with his head properly. As for breaking his legs, it has nothing to do with the rope, it all depends on the mood of the person who came to arrest him.
Zhang Rui was so frightened that he was urinating, and said hurriedly: "I have a certificate, I have a certificate......"
"Okay, then you stand up and speak. ”
Zhang Rui stood up straight tremblingly, carefully took out a folded piece of yellowed paper from his arms, and was about to hand it over to Chu Fan, when he saw Yan Yiqian surrounding, he shrank back again.
Chu Fan stopped playing with the iron ruler and waved his hand disapprovingly:
"The public is here, and the three bystanders are witnessing, are you still afraid that he will not be able to rob it? You, you, and the one who is driving the car, don't squat. ”
Everyone stood up, and Zhang Rui handed the piece of paper to Chu Fan.
Yan Yi was so nervous that her heart almost jumped out of her cavity, and she stood on tiptoe and stretched her neck to peep.
If the slave contract is fake, nothing will be discussed.
If it is true, the father and daughter will face a collapse, and life is worse than death.
But the old things from fifty or sixty years ago, all the parties have passed away, how to determine?
Chu Fan unfolded the piece of paper, glanced at it so-so, shook his head and said, "I can't tell whether this thing is real or fake." ”
Zhang Rui hurriedly said:
"This, this, of course is true. A few days ago, I pulled out a copper box from the crack in the wall of the old house, and there were four slave deeds hidden in it. Except for the different names, everything else is exactly the same. The three old slaves died long ago, and they had no offspring. The one left is Yan Yi's father. ”
When Yan Yi heard this, he knew that it was true, and his face suddenly withered. The heart said, my father is so confused and pedantic! It is right to repay the kindness, but he does not guard against it and destroys the future generations.
Chu Fan still shook his head and said:
"Chu is only responsible for arresting thieves and chasing the murderer, this investigation and research is really not the director. It seems that the only way to do this is to escort you to the court, and the master of the criminal name will distinguish the truth from the false. This thing is crucial, Zhang Rui, you have to put it away. If it's fake, all ten of your heads will be cut off, huh...... If it's true, you can take Yan Yi's father and daughter away. Do you understand?That, that, Yan shopkeeper...... Chu acted impartially, so he could only do so, and he was not to blame...... Alas, after you go to court, you can make it clear. ”
Hearing this, Zhang Rui's face turned pale. When I think about it, I don't feel good.
Yan Yi was like five thunderbolts, his eyes were dark, and the sky was spinning.
The girl who grew up in poverty has always been thrifty, and when she saw the small objects scattered all over the place, her heart hurt to death, so she carefully picked up the grass one by one. But the eyes were fixed on the situation, and the ears were pricked up to listen. Seeing that his father was staggering and seemed to be unable to stand on his feet, he hurriedly ran over to support him, pursed his red lips, his eyes were gloomy, and he wanted to cry.
Yan Yi told Chu Fan about the situation on the way, and the other party patted his chest and said that he would help his father and daughter get justice. I thought that a big savior fell from the sky, but who knew that it was still a moon in the water.
But Yan Yi understood that Chu Baigong could not be blamed for this incident. In fact, he beat Niu Ding to save himself, took out money to stop the horse, and worked tirelessly to go out of the city to chase the murderer and save Wan'er, he has done his best to save Wan'er, and he can't do better. It's only to blame God for being blind and not leaving an honest man a way to live.
Twenty years ago, Zhang Dahu burned the slave contract, and there were witnesses, but there was no physical evidence. Because Zhang Dahu was seriously ill at that time, he did not issue a certificate for the release of slaves. Everyone knows that Yan Yi's father is a slave, and once this slave contract is presented to the court, it will confirm his identity as the son of Wan'er and Wan'er, and the case will not be overturned.
Chu Fan folded the piece of paper as it was, handed it back to Zhang Rui, and waved an iron ruler to urge everyone: "Let's go, let's go, don't grind, all go back to the county seat with me......"
Seeing this, the handlebar type knew the reason for seven or eight points, and prepared to turn the carriage. In his heart, he was also indignant for Yan Yi's father and daughter, and sighed, Yan Zi was laborious. It's a pity that the Yan Ji South store has been in the past ten years, and it's a pity that this little girl is like a flower......
Yan Yi sat down on the ground, snorting and panting.
Yan Wan'er squatted beside her father, her face pale, and she looked at Chu Fan with teary eyes.
The red lips opened slightly, and he had to beg "Brother Fan".
The girl's hairpin was scraped off when she climbed out of the carriage, and her hair was scattered, and she was shy. He braided his shiny hair into a big braid, pulled out a few grass stems and kneaded them into small ropes, and hung them neatly behind his head, reaching to his waist. In the end, the daughter's family loves beauty, and pinched a few small flowers on it.
Chu Fan was stunned and remembered a poem. Treat me with long hair and waist, can a young man marry me?
But now was not the time for appreciation, and he quickly looked away.
The girl saw that his gaze was evasive, showing a look of disappointment and sorrow.
The two splashed skins wiped a handful of cold sweat on their foreheads, and their hearts were dangerous. If Zhang Renou's deed is fake, won't his own head fly away with him? Now that he has finally left the city, he has to return to the court to check the book, which has added a lot of twists and turns, and don't forget to ask him for more money afterwards.
Zhang Rui secretly complained.
Originally, I robbed the property and robbed the people, and I returned to Qinghe easily and refreshingly, so I was so unhappy. Once you go back to the county seat, you will have to fight a lawsuit. Although this slave contract is genuine, after it is presented to the court, what if the master says it is fake? Isn't it that the head is going to move! When the time comes, it is indispensable to spend some money. The total number of taels was squeezed out from Yan Yi, and the goods and shops have not yet been discounted, so I am afraid that most of them will be eaten.
He carefully put away the slave deed, took out something from his cuffs, turned around half a circle to block the sight of Yan Yi's father and daughter, approached Chu Fan's side, and whispered sneakily:
"Brother Chu, there is another important piece of evidence below. You see it's not early, and there is no place to rest when you go back to the city, so it's convenient to go for trouble. Let me go back to Qinghe first, and then come to the door another day to thank you......"
After finishing speaking, he stuffed the things into Chu Fan's hand.
"Hmph, there's nowhere to go, then let's go to prison first. ”
Chu Fan impatiently pushed him away, pointed at the two splashers and handlebars with an iron ruler in his left hand, and said:
"All of you come here and let me do it...... You two must dismount and walk, and the one who drives the chariot must turn the chariot in the opposite direction......"
When the three of them approached, Chu Fan said and spoke, as if he suddenly remembered that Zhang Rui had stuffed an "important evidence", and when he opened his right hand to see it, it was a small silver bill.
"What do you mean, you birdman?"
Chu Fan turned his head, and his face sank.
Zhang Rui couldn't turn the corner, and stammered and replied: "Small, small, meaning." A little bit of tea money ......"
"Hmph, you birdman is bold. How dare you bribe the tolerance and tarnish the innocence of our family!"
Chu Shenzhu was righteous and awe-inspiring, and his eyes widened.
"No, never. Brother Chu has worked hard all the way, in the down, in the ......"
Chu Fan sneered, held the silver coin in the palm of his hand, and said to the two splashers and handlebars:
"Hmph, this birdman paid bribes and was unwilling to go back to the county to fight a lawsuit. You can see clearly, our family didn't take his money, so take the trouble to be a witness. ”
After finishing speaking, he threw the silver back and smashed it on top of Zhang Rui's head.
The first time the three of them saw such an incorruptible white servant, they couldn't turn around, and nodded in panic like chickens pecking rice.
Yan Yi's father and daughter's hearts were like ashes, and they stared at all this blankly, silent.
Zhang Rui was self-defeating and had his face shaved, his face was red, and he squatted down in a panic to pick up the silver.
Chu Dashen Stick paced back and forth a few steps with his backhand, and said to himself:
"If you are determined to win the lawsuit, why don't you want to fight, and you have to pay for bribes. Isn't it, isn't it ......"
Zhang Rui was so frightened by his words "Mo Fei" that he squatted on the ground and forgot to stand up.
The two splashes and the handlebar style didn't get Chu Fan's next order, so they didn't dare to act, and they also thought, could it be that there is something strange in this, what is the weirdness of being unseemly?
Chu Da Shen Stick stopped, slapped the iron ruler in the palm of his hand, and looked up to the sky for thought. After a dozen breaths, he suddenly asked, "Yan Yi, what is your father's name?"
Yan Yi was demented, and was stabbed twice by Yan Wan'er with her finger before coming back to her senses, and responded bitterly: "The villain's father was given his name by Zhang Dahu, surnamed Yan Yi, one, two, three, four, one. ”
"Oh, it turned out to be called Yan Yi. ”
Chu Shenzhu scratched his head, thought about it again, turned around and said to Zhang Rui:
"I'm sorry you to open the slave contract and take another look, I didn't look at it carefully. ”
This was true, and everyone saw him and only glanced at it and folded it up.
Zhang Rui hurriedly got up, took out a piece of paper from his arms and handed it to Chu Fan.
Chu Dashen didn't answer, and ordered: "Unfold it, show it to everyone, and help you testify." ”
Zhang Rui saw that Yan Yi's father and daughter also stood up and looked at this side, deliberately raised the slave contract and shook it, and sneered in his heart, so that the two of you slaves would completely die.
He put his hands flat and unfolded the piece of paper to Chu Fan first.
The other party seemed to be smiling, snorted a few times, and pointed to the two splashers and handlebars with an iron ruler.
Zhang Rui walked over and pulled the slave deed flat in front of his chest.
The young splash is illiterate, scratching his ears and cheeks, and he doesn't know what to do.
The old pimpy in his forties recognized a few words, and he was used to seeing the slave style, and his face suddenly changed drastically.
The handlebar style is also illiterate, but after a lot of experience in traveling from south to north, he found something strange, and pointed to the slave in confusion and asked, "This, what's going on...... Could it be that my eyes are spent?"
Although Yan Wan'er has not gone to school, she has followed her mother to take care of the bookkeeping since she was a child, and she can recognize the rough and shallow words. Immediately, his eyes lit up, and he jumped up with excitement.
It was as if before the guillotine, and heaven forgave him.
Yan Yi rescued an official lady during the rebellion, married in distress, and also recognized words under the guidance of his wife. As soon as he saw the contract, he knew that Chu Fan had not forgotten the promise and made a move.
It's just that under the eyes of everyone, I really can't figure out how he came up with it, and the means are really unpredictable. When he saw his daughter bouncing around, he pulled her sleeve and signaled that she should not be impatient.
Yan Wan'er was overjoyed, and when she saw her father's eyes delighted, she shook her head slightly. I held back my words, and my eyes were shining, and I quieted down.
Yan Yi was determined in his heart, and watched coldly, knowing that Chu Fan must have follow-up arrangements.
