Gou Yuanwai is not young, and his pampered body is very weak, where can he withstand the forty boards?

"Lord Zhizhou, the old man is the owner of the matter, and he is here to complain, how can you beat me plainly?"

"yes, how can you hit someone for nothing."

A litter of people, roaring along.

The Gou family is in Yangzhou Mansion, Qian opens the way, goes first, and then doesn't work, and the trouble is going into battle, there are few things that can't be done, even the official master has to be afraid of them, who wants to make trouble with his idle work?

Of course, it was because the Gou family had never met Fu Jiuqu.

Don't eat soft and hard, don't eat oil and salt, it's clearly a piece of steel, stunned by your eighteen martial arts, in the end, he only adheres to his own principles......

"Hit!" The startled wood slapped heavily.

Fu Jiuqu lazily looked at the crying Gou family.

"Don't shut up. Sin plus one degree. Fifty boards!"

"Fifty-five!"

"Sixty!"

。 The Gou family roared, and he increased the price until the eighty boards, and the Gou family saw that he was still ruthless with an iron face, and there were several tall and tall sword-wielding guards standing behind the officials, and the look of the tiger was very terrifying.

Gou Congxue threw pleading eyes at Ge Yong several times, but Ge Yong ignored them, and then he realized that this hall was the lobby of Lord Zhizhou, and if Lord Zhizhou really wanted to beat him, no one could help him, and it was impossible for Lord Zhizhou's decision to regress.

The Gou family finally ...... Silence.

Master Gou's body was stiffened, and he fell to the ground tremblingly.

"Lord Zhizhou, spare your life, the little old man is old, and he can't survive the eighty boards......

Fu Jiuqu sneered.

"Dare to go to the court to make trouble, and don't ask in advance who is in this house?"

A pair of sharp eyes swept over Ge Yong and his master, and he reprimanded Gou Congxue with a straight face, and his attitude became gentle again.

"Knowing that mistakes can be corrected, how good is it? This government remembers that you are old, and you are still executed according to the forty boards, and do not bargain anymore. Come on, drag it down!"

The Gou family wept bitterly and thanked them one after another. At least, leave Master Gou alive.

Xin Yi, who was sitting behind the curtain to listen to the trial, was almost refreshed three times.

This Fu Jiuqu can be regarded as playing with human nature.

is also a forty board, no increase or decrease, exactly the same sentencing, from protest and hatred to gratitude, deterring Gou Congxue, and also offering a powerful stick in this intertwined Yangzhou officialdom.

The altar of the mourning hall outside the gate of the house was removed, and the mourning team that had been invited to blow and beat the linen and wear filial piety was also dispersed.

When the forty boards were finished, Gou Congxue still had half a life left, and Lord Zhizhou said with a pleasant face:

"Born as a father, the heart of the fist and the love of the son, this house can understand it. Don't worry, you have beaten the drum and gone up to the lobby of the yamen, and the government will definitely give you an explanation......

With that, he turned his head and shouted, "Xu Chengzuo!"

Xu Qizuo walked to the hall and arched his hand, "My lord."

Fu Jiuqu: "Autopsy."

People have been dead for eight years, and there are no corpses, and there are only a pile of bones in the coffin. However, who is willing to be a father and his son is still disturbed by the opening of the coffin after his death?

The Gou family naturally refused, and immediately cried and refused, kowtowing and requesting.

Fu Jiuqu grimaced: "The coffins have all been brought here, wouldn't it seem that the mansion is incompetent if it is not inspected? Find out the truth and re-examine ......."

He glanced at Xu Qizuo, "Test!"

Xu said: "Yes."

"No...... Your Excellency, Your Excellency, ......."

The Gou family's stop became meaningless in the lobby.

The coffin was forcibly opened, and then, in full view of everyone, something strange happened.

There were no bones inside, only a bedding that had been corroded by time and was barely discernible in color.

The surroundings suddenly fell silent, and a cold wind poured in, and the atmosphere was gloomy.

Fu Jiuqu smiled, "It seems that in this Yangzhou City, there are not only people stealing money and things, but also people stealing bones...

… This case will have to be tried by the government for a good trial."

The Gou family hung their heads nervously and fearfully.

You don't have to open your mouth for a retrial, and you admit it.

They opened the grave and carried the coffin just to make trouble, and they didn't want to really lift their son's coffin out of the grave and destroy feng shui and luck......

Fu Jiuqu looked at the old and rotten coffin in the hall and asked in a deep voice:

"And where did you get this coffin?"

Gou Congxue looked at his nephew, and the man almost hung his head to his chest.

"Dig on the other side of the grave, dig out the ......"

Fu Jiuqu looked at the empty coffin, "Who's? Where did the body go?"

"No, I don't know, the villain just sent someone to dig it up casually......

"Nonsense!" Fu Jiuqu was shocked again, "It seems that if you are not interrogated in prison one by one, you will not be honestly confessed!" Someone—"

Before his voice fell, the Gou family knelt together.

They refused to dig up their own graves, but the new coffins were very different from the old ones that came out of the graves, and they would be seen at a glance.

Therefore, they thought of the "good deeds and accumulation of virtues" that Master Gou did in order to "pray" for his seriously ill bedridden son-

That year, the fireworks and explosion case in Yangzhou City killed a family of three from other villages, whose origin was unknown and had no family, so Gou Dashan bought three coffins, collected their bodies and buried them in the pine hill not far from the Gou family cemetery.

As for why the coffin was empty, they couldn't tell......

In the end, Gou Congxue trembled and came out with a sentence.

"The place in Pine Hill is heavily cloudy...... Could it be that it's haunted?"

A farce, which ended in a ghost story, no one expected.

What I didn't expect was that I went around and around and brought to the fireworks explosion case in the seventh year of Qingli.

Fu Jiuqu coldly swept through the group of people in the hall.

I couldn't tell which one was a human and which one was a ghost, so I simply asked to the end.

"Who was responsible for the burial?"

Gou Congxue dragged his injured body down and stammered, "It's Zhen Bancai from Zhen Ji's coffin shop. Xiao Lao'er didn't see the family of three who died in vain, but just sent someone to make a hundred taels of silver to Zhen Bancai, and asked him to pick three good coffins in the shop and bury them......

At this time, the sky had already dawned, and there were many people outside the lobby who were listening to the trial.

Fu Jiuqu sat in the hall and decided to reveal the mystery of the coffin on the spot, and asked people to pass on Zhen Kegong from Zhen Ji's coffin shop.

This Zhen Kegong is the Zhen Bancai who rented the shop in Wenjin Bridge to open a store for Xinyi.

The Zhen family has been making coffins for generations, and they know their own coffins well. Therefore, although the coffin board had been buried deep in the ground for eight years, Zhen Ban only stepped forward to look at it and recognized it.

"Lord Zhizhou, this is indeed my family's coffin."

Fu Jiuqu asked, "Are you sure?"

Zhen Bancai lowered his head, "Indeed, sure."

Fu Jiuqu smiled lightly, "Okay, then I'll ask you. Why are there no bones in this coffin?"

When Zhen Bancai went to the court, Gou Congxue's family had already been taken to the back hall by the officials to wait, and it was said that Zhen Bancai was not so clear about what happened......

Unexpectedly, as soon as Fu Jiuqu asked, his face changed.

"My lord, can you, can you speak alone?"
