"Escort down, retrial at noon!"

With a shock, Li Yi was escorted to a closed room by the officials.

Inside the room, through the slightly dim light, Li Yi saw an acquaintance.

"Old grandson?"

Seeing Li Yi, Sun Cheng was stunned for a moment, and then said angrily: "Why do you want to confess and implicate me?"

I've always treated you as a nephew, how can you do such a black thing! ”

Faced with Sun Cheng's questioning, Li Yi was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "Did that Fu Yin tell you?" ”

Seeing that Sun Cheng did not deny it, Li Yi instantly understood: "Old Sun, you calm down first, I have never done anything I owe you, this is all a misunderstanding......"

At this moment, in a room separated by a thin wall, two scribes were sticking to the wall and listening to the conversation next door.

In the government court, Su Wenshan is still interrogating.

This time, the object of his interrogation was Ji Ping, the nephew of the shopkeeper of the silver shop.

Twenty water and fire sticks clubbed in unison, and Ji Ping, who was escorted into the hall, was full of astonishment.

The next moment, the shocking wood resounded in the court.

Su Wenshan seemed to be a judge, and his words of deterrence were deafening.

After a period of fear, Su Wenshan, who had little effect, scored twice and began to question again:

"Bold Ji Ping, dare to quibble until now!

Your uncle said that you are addicted to gambling by nature, and you are often inappropriate when you work in the silver shop, and now you have confirmed to the official that you are not guilty! ”

Downstairs, Ji Ping said in horror in his heart:

"My lord, the grass people can swear that they will never steal the silver taels from the treasury, and the grass people will occasionally deduct some silver when they are called silver......

On top of the public case, although Ji Ping confessed to the crime of embezzlement of ink and silver on weekdays, Su Wenshan's mood did not relax at all.

Looking at its color, most of what Ji Ping said is true.

In this way, the robbery of nearly 4,000 taels of silver shops can only be started elsewhere...

asked the official to put Ji Ping, who exposed his crimes, into prison, and Su Wenshan once again made a shock.

"Song Bing, a stone bricklayer, goes to the court!"

……

At noon, Li Yi and Sun Cheng were taken out of the closed house by the officials.

At the same time, two wardens also walked out of the next room.

His eyes stayed on the pen and paper in the pawn's hand for a moment, and Li Yi was not surprised.

This Yamen Mansion Yin did have two brushes, first to open him and Sun Cheng for a fraudulent trial, and then to imprison them in one place, to create the illusion of solitude, and then to eavesdrop on their conversations...

It's all interlocking.

If it is replaced by a real criminal, I am afraid that it will really be on the road!

Now that he thinks about it, the Lord Yin in regular clothes he saw in Sibu Hall before should be observing their speech and demeanor, so as to find a breakthrough in it.

"This sixth ......," Li Yi murmured in his heart.

Following the official who led the way through the Sibu Hall, when he was about to come to the front yard, Li Yi heard a miserable wail from the court.

The official who led the way came to the front and began to inquire about the situation inside.

"The case has been solved, it was Song Bing, a stone bricklayer, who stole the silver with the help of ash bags when he was repairing the door and wall of the warehouse."

The official who led the way was puzzled: "Since the case has been solved, why don't you quit?" ”

The catcher who was on duty at the door of the public hall shook his head helplessly: "This Song Bing's mouth is very hard, obviously he has confessed to stealing silver from the silver shop, but he only stole one hundred taels, and now he has hit fifty boards, and he still insists on it." ”

...

Waiting outside the lobby with Sun Cheng, Li Yi could clearly see the scene inside the hall.

I saw that Yin Su Wenshan sat on the public case, and said in a deep voice: "According to Wei Law, anyone who steals gold and goods of one dollar or more will be punished with two years in prison, and those who are in serious love will be assigned to remote and evil places or beheaded." ”

"You have confessed to stealing a hundred taels of silver, and you will not escape the responsibility of stealing a thousand taels or ten thousand taels of silver, and the punishment is no different.

Under the hall, Song Bing, who was lying on the ground and groaning, said weakly: "The grass people only took a hundred taels, and the hiding place has been told to the adults, and the remaining three thousand taels of grass people really don't know ......."

At this time, there was a sound of footsteps outside the hall, and Li Yi followed the prestige, and saw the chivalrous woman who had given him oranges was walking with an ash bag.

Behind the woman, there was an old man and a woman.

After Li Yi saw the old man, he was stunned for a moment.

He knew the old man, who often sold steamed buns on Nanmen Street, and once he was taken care of by the old man when he was begging on Nanmen Street.

Inside the church, the case continues.

After Su Wenshan's interrogation for a while, he asked the official to bring the old man and woman waiting outside the hall into the public court.

It was only at this time that Li Yi understood why the old man came to the Yamen.

It turned out that Hu Laohan, who sold steamed buns, was the father-in-law of the criminal Song Bing, and the two were Weng sons-in-law, and the woman was Hu Laohan's daughter and Song Bing's wife.

"Hu father and daughter, do you two know about Song Bing's theft of silver?"

Hu Laohan knelt on the ground, indicating that he didn't know, while his daughter Hu Xiuyun had a different complexion.

"According to the law of Wei, whoever harbors a robber, and the circumstances of the robbery are serious, will be beheaded, and the second offender will be assigned to remote and evil land, and half of his family will be rewarded; The thief is a thief, and the one who harbors it is worthy of five hundred li, and one-third of his family is rewarded.

The official's ugly words are ahead, if you shield Song Bing, the whole family will inevitably be responsible! ”

After a pause, Su Wenshan suddenly said: "Hu Xiuyun, as far as this official knows, you and the criminal Song Bing still have two children who are not yet minors, if you are a mother who is exiled far away......"

Outside the public court, Li Yi couldn't help but sip secretly when he heard this.

This Fu Yin really used any means to solve the case!

When Hu Xiuyun heard this, his psychological defense line completely collapsed, and he immediately confessed all his sins.

"You mean, when Song Bing came back to pick up the ashes, he mentioned to you the silver in the treasury of the silver shop, so you became greedy and instigated Song Bing to steal the silver?"

Hu Xiuyun nodded, choked up, and said: "The folk girl was afraid of being discovered by the silver shop, so she didn't dare to let him take more, so she only asked him to take ten taels or eight taels, who knew that he would take one hundred taels."

The maiden was afraid, so she asked him to put a bag of ashes with the silver hidden in it in the wall of the house..."

Su Wenshan frowned when he heard this: "According to the report of the shopkeeper of the silver shop, nearly four thousand taels of silver were lost that day, how did it become one hundred taels when it came to you?" ”

Speaking of this, Su Wenshan's eyes fell on Xie Chan, "There is a Lao Xie iron seal to open the ash bag." ”

When Xie Chan heard this, her sword fell, and the ash bag containing lime was immediately split in half, splashing a large amount of dust.

"Ahem..."

Hu Laohan and his daughter-in-law, who were kneeling on the ground and were hurting, were choked and coughed.

“……”

Su Wenshan's eyelids twitched, then he got up and came to the bottom of the hall, looking at the lime-covered ground.

Fu Cheng Cui Huai bent down and pulled for a while, and finally found ten silver ingots from the lime, each of which was ten taels in size.

"My lord, it's really only a hundred taels."

Su Wenshan didn't respond, just looked at the three people kneeling on the ground without saying a word.

He investigated and interrogated all the known suspects on the day of the theft of the silver shop, and finally only found out that Song Bing had stolen.

If the silver is really as Song Bing said, only one hundred taels were stolen, then where did the remaining three thousand five hundred taels of silver go?

Just as Su Wenshan was pondering, a servant came to the front quickly.

"My lord, Li Yi, the husband of Liuding Street and the guy of Tongyue Restaurant, asked to see him, saying that he was a clue about this case..."
