The day of the county exam is approaching day by day, and Jiang Yun has already reported his name in the county office, just waiting for the arrival of the exam date. Zhou Shimin introduced him to a talent in the same village as a guarantee, and spent two taels of silver in premium according to the rules.

However, what Jiang Yun didn't know was that among the premiums of the two taels of silver, Zhou Shimin got the intermediary fee of two taels of silver, and the show he introduced only got one or two or eight dollars.

In the afternoon of this day, he returned to his home in Shahe Village from the academy, and as soon as he returned, the maid Youlan told him a news that caused a sensation in the whole village, Wang Tiezhu was arrested by the county government on suspicion of beating Gu Bo and seriously injured.

As soon as Jiang Yun heard this, he immediately knew that the township elders Zhong Yanze and Cao He had finally made a move, and judged that the murderer in this case was Wang Tiezhu.

After learning the news, he immediately went to Zhong Yanze's house in the neighboring village, met the other party, and asked the other party about the details of the case.

Zhong Yanze explained a lot to him, in short, Wang Tiezhu was extremely suspicious in this case, and the evidence for arresting him was conclusive and reasonable.

It's just that Jiang Yun knows that the other two suspected murderer footprints left at the scene have not been found so far, Zhong Yanze's statement seems to be reasonable, but there are still many loopholes that are worth scrutinizing.

"The footprints of the other two suspected murderers left at the scene, they were not found, how could they hastily conclude that Wang Tiezhu was the murderer who injured Gu Bo. He asked directly.

Zhong Yanze replied: "The other two suspects, this will be learned from Wang Tiezhu through interrogation." ”

Jiang Yun said: "Elder Zhong means that the other two suspects are accomplices invited by Wang Tiezhu?"

Zhong Yanze said: "It's very possible. ”

Jiang Yun was very suspicious, and said: "Wang Tiezhu is strong, Gu Bo is old and frail, Wang Tiezhu is alone, and he can easily beat Gu Bo, so why invite an accomplice." In addition, the facts of the case show that when Gu Bo went to the field at night to look at the water, he found that Wang Tiezhu was secretly digging other people's ridges and was broken by Gu Bo, so the two had a dispute, Wang Tiezhu was angry and committed murder and injured people, which is so, this is an accidental incident, how could Wang Tiezhu think of inviting two accomplices in advance. ”

Zhong Yanze was unable to answer his series of questions, so he could only push all this onto Wang Tiezhu and said: "If you want to understand all this, you only need to interrogate Wang Tiezhu carefully." ”

Jiang Yun sneered: "These questions have not been clarified, the villager elder hastened and hastily decided the case, is it too child's play, if he wronged someone, will the villager bear this responsibility." ”

Zhong Yanze's face was ugly, and he said: "Speaking of which, you are crying out for Wang Tiezhu, and you are worthy of your housekeeper Gu Bo, who is still sick in bed." ”

Jiang Yun said: "It is precisely because I have to be worthy of Gu Bo that I want to find out the real murderer, and I can't let the murderer go unpunished." ”

Zhong Yanze said with a cold face: "Is it the real murderer, it's not that you say it without evidence, the case is judged, it depends on evidence, and it has its own rules and laws, this case was decided by me after discussing with Cao Xianglao, that is, Zhang Xianglao, and there is no objection to this." Could it be that just your baseless mouth can overturn the verdict of the three village elders?"

Seeing that he took out the authority of the three village elders to suppress people, Jiang Yun had no choice, but he still insisted: "I still think that this case has a lot of doubts, and it cannot be decided rashly." ”

Zhong Yanze said coldly: "That's what you think, your opinions are useless in judging the case, we are all based on facts, the law is the criterion, and the evidence is relied on, not some people's speculation!"

Listening to the other party's high-sounding words, Jiang Yun was angry in his heart, but he couldn't refute such high-sounding words at all.

Zhong Yanze snorted coldly and picked up the teacup on the table, which meant that he was serving tea to the guests.

Jiang Yun got up and said goodbye, "Justice is in the hearts of the people, and I also ask the villagers to do it themselves." With that, he brushed his sleeves and walked away.

Zhong Yanze sat there, his face was gloomy, he didn't expect that this little brother of the Jiang family would be so difficult, aggressive, and sharp, where could he be as cowardly and deceitful as the rumored nerd.

However, whether the other party is young and vigorous, just a schoolboy who has not yet entered school, and what kind of storm can he set off, thinking of this, he was relieved and did not bother to think about this matter anymore.

At this moment, in front of the gate of Zhu Yougui's house, a big family in Shahe Village, there were a bunch of people watching the excitement, and a village woman was crying in front of the gate, and the crying village woman was none other than Zhu Shi, the mother of Wang Tiezhu, who was arrested by the county government not long ago.

"Wronged! My family's iron pillar was wronged, he didn't beat anyone, and asked Master Zhu to come out to administer justice--" Zhu's expression was miserable, and he cried heartbreakingly in front of the gate of Zhu's house.

"Who's here to mourn—"

From the gate of the Zhu family, a middle-aged man in a silk shirt walked out, it was Zhu Yougui, the master of the Zhu family.

"Master Zhu, you are the head of the village, you must administer justice for my family's iron pillar and save my family's iron pillar-" Seeing Zhu Yougui come out, Zhu rushed forward, grabbed the other party's clothes, and cried out with a handful of snot and tears.

Zhu Yougui pushed the other party away in disgust, took a few steps back, and said: "I said that sister-in-law of the Wang family, I have heard about your family's iron pillar, but I really can't help this matter, he Wang Tiezhu has injured someone, so he will naturally be punished by the law of the imperial court, and I really can't help." ”

Zhu's cry was even more earth-shattering: "Wronged, my iron pillar didn't beat Gu Bo at all, he was wronged, please, Master Zhu, you are the head of the village, you can't watch my iron pillar being wronged and imprisoned and don't care, Master Zhu, you are benevolent and righteous, please preside over justice for my iron pillar......

"I think this is an unjust case......"

"Yes, I think Wang Tiezhu was wronged......"

A group of villagers gathered around, pointing and discussing, but most of them were sympathetic.

"If my iron pillar has any three lengths and two shorts, I won't be alive—" Zhu sat down on the ground and continued to cry heartbreakingly.

"Alright, alright, don't cry anymore, I'll show you the way. Zhu Yougui said.

When Zhu heard this, his crying stopped abruptly, and he looked at each other with blank eyes.

Zhu Yougui glanced at the villagers watching around, and said loudly: "I heard that Wang Tiezhu was arrested, and Jiang Yun of the Jiang family was behind his back, and it was he who insisted that Wang Tiezhu was the murderer who beat his housekeeper Gu Bo, so the county yamen sent someone to arrest Wang Tiezhu." ”

Hearing this, the crowd of onlookers suddenly stirred, and discussions began.

"It turns out that Wang Tiezhu was arrested, and it was the little brother of the Jiang family who instigated it......"

"I see. Not long ago, Wang Tiezhu also brought people to his house to make a rent, the little brother of the Jiang family is settling accounts after the autumn, and he wants to retaliate, this is too unauthentic......"

"The same can't be said, it's always a fact that his housekeeper was seriously injured. ”

"But you can't just wronged people, anyway, the little brother of the Jiang family is too unauthentic to do this......

"Really, how can Brother Jiang arrest people casually without evidence, the real murderer doesn't arrest him, but for a little personal grudge, he wrongs people indiscriminately and arrests people nonsense, this is too nonsense......"

Everyone talked about it, and for a while, they all aimed at Jiang Yun.

Zhu was stunned for a while at this moment, it turned out that the one who framed Tie Zhu was Jiang Yun.

Zhu Yougui said again: "So, sister-in-law of the Wang family, don't make trouble here anymore, if you want to save your family's iron pillar, you have to go to the person who made the master, Jiang Yun!"

Leaving this sentence, he ignored the other party, turned and entered, and ordered someone to slam the door tightly.

"That Jiang Yun, he killed the iron pillar, I have nothing to do with him!"

Zhu was stunned for a while, came back to his senses, shouted, got up from the ground with a cloak, rushed away from the crowd, and ran towards Jiang Yun's house in the east of the village.

Jiang Yun came back from Zhong Yanze's house, and as soon as he walked to the door of his house, he saw a large group of people gathered in front of his house, and heard a woman's voice screaming there.

When he hurried over and parted the crowd, he saw a village woman with a disheveled hair blocking the ground in front of her house, crying and spouting.

Isn't this Wang Tiezhu's mother Zhu, the other party came to make trouble once last time, so Jiang Yun was still deeply impressed, seeing the other party appear here, and listening to the other party's scolding, he finally understood what was going on.

"You stinky girl, why don't you go and get that Jiang Yun back, I'm not done with him!"

The Zhu family didn't see Jiang Yun here, so he yelled at the maid Youlan, and the spit in his mouth was about to spit on the other party's body.

Youlan was frightened by the other party's evil voice and evil spirit, and she was at a loss, but fortunately, Wang Xiulian rushed over when she heard the news and helped her out of the siege.

"Aunt Zhu, are you mistaken, Wang Tiezhu was arrested, it's not about the owner's business, what's the matter if you come here to make noise. Wang Xiulian came over and persuaded.

Zhu smacked her fiercely and scolded: "Wang Xiulian, you get out of the way for me, there is nothing to do with you here! You are here to protect his Jiang family, don't think that everyone doesn't know, I think you are a who has taken a fancy to the Jiang family's hundreds of acres of fertile land, and sooner or later you want to marry the Jiang family as a landlord's wife?" Maybe you still want to be a Xiucai lady, I'm sorry, I'm not ashamed, I still want to be a Xiucai lady, I see that you have this mind, but you don't have this life, just that goddamn Jiang Yun, a nerd, no matter whether he is good or bad, wronged a good person, and lost his conscience, he will never think about Xiucai in his life!"

Wang Xiulian's pretty face was flushed when she was scolded, she was ashamed and angry, and she couldn't speak for a long time, but just gritted her teeth and glared at each other fiercely.

"Childe!" At this time, Youlan, who was standing behind Wang Xiulian, saw Jiang Yun coming back at a glance, and immediately greeted him as if she had met a rescuer.
