Volume 1 Chapter 272 Sophistry
At this time, he was secretly praying in his heart that the letter in her hand did not involve Jiang Baiyu, but he had hidden all the letters about Jiang Baiyu in another place.
What he didn't know was that the letter had already been turned around in Xu Yunjin's hands, but it was put back in its original place.
Zhao Ting opened the letter and began to look carefully, the more he saw the back, the more ugly his face became, and several letters were slapped on the table by him, glaring angrily at He Dian and the others.
It's just that in the end, he didn't take the knife against He Dark San's party, because he knew how tight the secret guard's mouth was, so he just looked at the entourage with sharp eyes.
And the entourage also knew that the general trend was gone, and confided what they knew like pouring beans:
"My lord, the grass people are all forced, the small ones owe a lot of silver in the gambling house, and they can't afford to go bankrupt, and the grass people don't want to die, so when the He family came to them, the grass people agreed as soon as their heads were hot."
When the entourage confessed to the He family, a trace of killing intent flashed in He Yansan's eyes, and at the same time, he felt strange, obviously before he came, the uncle said that this person had not seen the true face of the white housekeeper.
What he didn't know was that this morning Xu Yunjin went to the room where his entourage was, and hypnotized him again, not only to let him confess to the He family, but also to let Uncle He and Second Master He not want to clear up their relationship.
"Sir, no, he is also in it for money like me, but he is a beggar, not a businessman at all, and the other party promised us that if we complete the task, they will give us a sum of money.
The fires in the dyeing workshop and the winery were all set by them, just to make the Xu family lose a lot of money, and they also killed this person, arsenic and frost were bought in their medical hall, and the grass people overheard that the master behind their medical hall was the second master of the He family."
The entourage told everything he knew, but some of the things were forced into his head during Xu Yunjin's hypnosis.
The owner behind the medical hall is He Liteng, which they didn't expect, if Yuan Xuan hadn't found out the news earlier, I'm afraid they wouldn't have known it.
"My lord, the grass people are guilty, and I hope that the adults will forgive me, the grass people really don't know that they are not only for money, but also for their lives.
When they found out, it was too late, and they forced the grass people to make false confessions, and my lord, the grass people knew that they were wrong, and asked my lord to spare the grass people's lives for the sake of the grass people."
The entourage is clever, but he is still a little tender, he has hammered the He family to death today, and now he says that he has been wronged, even if he is sentenced lightly after the case is clear, I am afraid that he will not be able to escape the poisonous hands of the He family.
However, Xu Yunjin didn't care whether he lived or died, he knew from the beginning that he was doing something he shouldn't do, so he should bear the consequences of this incident.
As soon as the little medicine boy saw that the medical hall was exposed, he quickly knelt down and cried, saying that he was forced to be helpless:
"My lord, the grass people are also forced, and the shopkeeper said that if he doesn't come to identify him, he will beat the grass people to death and throw them into the wilderness, begging the adults to spare their lives."
The two of them didn't feel that they had done anything wrong at all, and they put all the blame on others, showing how innocent and helpless they were.
The people outside the hall all complained when they saw this scene, why were these two so shameless.
"Bah, Lord Zhao, they are black-hearted, if they don't want to do something, they won't do it even if they put a knife on their neck."
"It's just that, at first glance, they don't usually behave well, that's why they are grabbed and threatened by others."
"In my opinion, this kind of person who aids and abuses people should be severely punished, and they should simply be sent to Lingnan to mine."
The voices of the people were not small, and they were so frightened that they were about to pee their pants, for fear that they would be exiled to Lingnan.
And everyone didn't notice, Shang Wuwu gave the person next to him a look, and the person quietly left, going in the direction of the medical hall where the little medicine boy was.
After a while, the medical hall inexplicably drove everyone out and closed the door, and by the time the government was ordered to arrive, the medical hall was already empty, and there were freshly burned ashes in the brazier in the study.
At a glance, the yacha knew that he had run away in advance, which was terrible, so he hurried back to the county government to report.
"Bring him up."
hear out
After the yacha reported it, Zhao Ting didn't say anything, and pointed to He Yansan who was kneeling in the courtyard.
He Yansan was taken to the hall and knelt on the ground after being pressed hard by several yacha.
"He Dian San, this official asks you, is what they said true?"
Zhao Ting pointed to the entourage and medicine boy on the side and asked, but he sneered:
"There is no excuse for the crime that you want to add, the grass people are just ordinary businessmen, not slaves of the prime minister's family, but in order to protect themselves, they are just a little fist and foot kung fu, these people are my guards."
He Yansan's brain turned quickly, even if the mission had failed, he couldn't let this disaster lead to the master, otherwise even if he died, he would have to be crushed and scattered.
"As for the two of them, the grass people have never seen each other, let alone lived under the same roof with the grass people.
And this person, I'm afraid, deliberately took his clothes and ran to the grass people's house, so that he could frame me, and I don't know where the grass people offended the county lord of Wenle, and they want to frame me like this?"
He Yansan's mouth can really be said to be alive if he is dead.
"Heh, the ability to reverse black and white is very great."
Xu Yunjin sneered beside him, but Da Niu frequently looked up at He Yinsan, and kept muttering something in his mouth, Zhao Ting had already observed it, and looked at him, "Do you have anything to say?"
Da Niu took a step forward and glanced at He Darksan several times before saying, "My lord, when the grass people were locked up in the house that day, two people came in, and one of them spoke in a voice very similar to his.
Though it was too dark for him to see his countenance, he was about the same size as the man of that day."
He Dian San's face stiffened when he heard this, he didn't think that he would fail at that time, and he didn't change his original voice.
"Well, there are not a few people in the world who speak with similar voices, just because you say that I am the person, you have given false witness, and what you say is not credible."
Da Niu was choked by his words, his face was red, and he didn't know how to go back.
At this time, the entourage stopped doing it, and the other party wanted to break up the relationship with him, he didn't defend himself, and in the end he was afraid that he was the one who was behind him.
Even if he dies, he has to have a backer, not to mention that he doesn't have to die, as long as he doesn't confess to the second master, the second master may save him for his heartfelt sake.
"My lord, he lied, the two grass people have lived in the same place with them since they came to Yongding County, and the meals for more than a dozen of them were prepared by the two of us.
So the money for buying vegetables every day was deducted from the grass people, and the two of them shared it equally, this beggar had unclean hands and feet, and wanted to steal the grass people's money, so the grass people hid money in their smelliest shoes, if the adults didn't believe it, they could search it, and there were some grass people's things in the room."
Everyone was silent for a moment when they heard this, but they didn't expect to be able to prove themselves like this.
Zhao Ting also frowned in disgust, and asked someone to go to the house, and the officials went to see his stinky shoes in the sympathetic eyes of everyone.
After a while, the yacha returned, and one came in with the clothes of the attendant in his hand, and the other wrapped a pair of shoes in a piece of cloth.
As soon as he saw his stinky shoes, his entourage hurriedly snatched them, reached out and pulled them in, feeling that the money was still breathing a sigh of relief.
"My lord, please see, this is the silver saved by the grass people, a total of eight taels and a half."
The entourage was anxious to prove that he was not lying, and wanted to present the money to Zhao Ting, Zhao Ting's face froze, and Jiang Baiyu almost didn't hold back his breath when he was smiling beside him.
"No, you can collect the money yourself."
When the entourage heard this, he hurriedly stuffed the money into his arms.
"What does this prove, maybe they hid this money, who said it was yours."
He Yansan's shamelessness simply opened Xu Yunjin's eyes, and there are people who are fighting for smelly shoes?
Indeed, as soon as he finished speaking, a secret guard shouted that the room he lived in was his own, and that the money was also hidden by him, and he wanted to break free and snatch back the "stinky money".
The entourage was also annoyed, this person must have left himself clean, right, so that he would not let them get their wish.
He didn't justify sitting on a butt either
On the ground, he took off the shoes he was wearing and put the smelly shoes on his feet.
For a moment, everyone in and out of the hall felt that there was a stench in the air that could not be dispersed for a long time.
"You can say that the money is yours, but the size of the shoes can't be said to be yours."
The shoes were just right on his feet, and He Yansan knelt not far from him, smelling the stench so disgusting that he wanted to vomit, but he could only hold back.
That face was more diverse than a chameleon, and everyone in the serious public hall was holding back laughter, only Xu Yunjin's mind surrounded Xiao Yi's laughter.
The retinue is not so thin-skinned, "And the grass people are naturally bigger than their left foot, so the right foot of the shoe is very worn, and when you ask someone to do it, the right foot will also be specially made longer, I don't believe they are too."
After the entourage finished speaking, he took off his shoes and socks again, put his feet together, and the yacha covered his nose and stepped forward to check, "My lord, my right foot is indeed longer than my left foot, and the shoes on my right foot are worn in my arms." After saying that, he hurriedly retreated.
He Darksan had already gritted his teeth, who were the eldest prince looking for.
Zhao Ting waved his hand and asked the entourage to take him down to wash his feet and put on his shoes, for fear that he would stink the whole hall here.
Xu Yunjin touched his earlobe, Zhao Ting understood, and rested for a moment to re-ascend.
Xu Yunjin went to the backyard under the pretext of going to the convenience, but disappeared in front of the person but turned around and went to the entourage's room.
Suddenly, Zhao Ting and Jiang Baiyu were called in by Yuan San, and He Yansan was anxious not to know what was going on behind him, and whether it would be unfavorable to Lord Jiang.
His face was full of worry.
A quarter of an hour later, he was re-promoted, but this time Jiang Baiyu was not in the court, and Zhao Ting's face was even more ugly than before.
He Darksan was puzzled, but he couldn't understand it, and the entourage also walked out of it, with a smiling smile on his face.
The most puzzling thing is that he didn't have to kneel, but stood aside to listen to the trial, a change that made his heart sink down.
