Chapter Twenty-Seven: Darkness Chencang
Gan Lin's question, Ji Ri felt bad, only the shopkeeper of Liubiju knew about writing hate poems, once he admitted it, he was a cowherd who could write poems, and he also scolded the county order, even if Gan Lin really enforced the law impartially, it was difficult to have good fruit to eat. Thinking of this, Ji Ri said: "The villain did open a shop next to Liubiju. ”
"Then on the way you were escorted, you kept saying that Gan Liang smashed your shop and injured your mother, but is there such a thing?" Gan Lin had a headache, as soon as he asked, he replied on an auspicious day, and he refused to say more, but he was very calm, and it was really not easy to find a flaw.
Ji Ri said: "Back to my lord, this is indeed the case, I went to the Zhu carpenter in Junling to make a signboard, and after I came back, my mother was knocked to the ground, and the shopkeeper of Liubiju told me that it was Gan Liang's doing." Carpenter Zhu, Shopkeeper Liu, and Lu Langzhong all knew about this matter, and my mother was still lying in Lu Langzhong's medical hall to recuperate. ”
Gan Lin asked: "In that case, why didn't you report the case to the county, but you didn't say it until now?" ”
"My mother is seriously ill in bed, and most of the world is not as big as her life, so these days I am either taking care of my mother in the hospital, or going out to find medicinal materials for Lu Langzhong, so as to pay for the consultation and medicine." was asked by Gan Lin in a row, Ji Ri had already thought of countermeasures, and the answers were fluent.
Hearing this, Gan Liang couldn't sit still and shouted: "You fart, Lao Tzu sent people to block you at the city gate every day, and I haven't seen you go out!" ”
There was an uproar inside and outside the yamen. The auspicious day is just a small people, with such filial piety, and Gan Liang is the son of the official family, but he will repay it, which makes everyone more sympathetic to the auspicious day.
Gan Lin knew that his younger brother was usually very domineering, and he kept one eye open and one eye closed, but he didn't expect Gan Liang's head to be like a lack of tendons, can this kind of thing be said openly in the lobby?
It's not a good idea, but it's a powerful statement. Gan Lin forcibly suppressed his anger and asked calmly: "On an auspicious day, just now you said that you went out to look for medicinal materials for Lu Langzhong, but now what is your explanation?" ”
"My lord, if it weren't for the lobby, Gan Liang couldn't call the villain's name until now, how would he know that I was out of the city?" Thinking that Gan Liang couldn't call his name in the court, Ji Ri was calm in his heart, this flaw was simply useless.
Gan Lin was afraid that Gan Liang, the pig's head san, would say something unobstructed, so he immediately said: "The origin of today's case is really strange, and it is not possible to explain it clearly at one time. Now that the plaintiff has become the defendant and is put in prison, the court will quickly collect the evidence, and the trial tomorrow will not be delayed, and the rest of the cadres will not be allowed to leave Huze City and leave the court! ”
As soon as he fell, Gan Lin withdrew, and Gan Liang looked at Ji Ri and Li Langzhong's apprentices with resentment when he was escorted out of the court. Today, he couldn't overwhelm Gan Liang in one breath, it was Gan Lin who intended to protect him, and Ji Ri's face was cloudy for a while, and I don't know how to bring down Gan Liang from this situation of relatives and relatives tomorrow.
After Gan Lin returned home, he kept pacing in the hall. The younger brother committed a bigger crime than he thought, and there are so many pairs of eyes staring outside, his official reputation will plummet if he is careless, and a good future is still waiting for him.
Thinking of this, Gan Lin changed into civilian clothes and went to the prison to hear what his unsuccessful brother had done. Although Gan Liang is in prison, his status here is still the style of a big man, just a little freshened up, and the stench of pus on his legs became more and more pungent.
"Brother Liang, is everything they complained about in court true? If you tell me the truth, I still have a way to save your life, if there is deception, my brother is really powerless this time. Gan Liang's tone was still very calm, as if the person in front of him had nothing to do with him.
Gan Liang sneered: "Brother, it's just a few untouchables who have no power and no power, and they dare to deal with us, and just beat them to fifty boards, isn't it over?" ”
Gan Lin only felt that his heart was tight, and his muscles rioted, and said: "You don't know what you know!" The mouth of the people is more important than the defense of Sichuan, this county order is about to come to an end, and the promotion is about to be promoted, tell you to settle down for a few days, don't you listen, do you have to stab Lou Zi? ”
Such heavy words, Gan Lin had never said it before, but it made Gan Liang finally understand that his brother was really angry this time. He shrunk his neck, his eyes wandered between the thatch on the ground, and said, "Brother, if it's a big deal, you will also beat me fifty boards, this is okay!" ”
Gan Lin gritted his back molars and said, "It's light to beat you for half your life!" Next, I'll ask you to answer, don't have half a sentence of coaxing. ”
Gan Liang was stunned and nodded subconsciously.
"Liubiju is in the shop next door, have you injured someone?"
"The old woman jumped up and down in front of me, and accidentally knocked me down."
"Then Li Langzhong was killed by you?"
"He drugged me! I'm still angry, and my good legs will be cured like this! ”
"Why did you bite Lu Qingzhou and have an affair with Yan'er?"
Gan Liang was dumb, he couldn't say that he was jealous, and Gan Lin's aggressive eyes were staring at him. Seeing that Gan Liang was silent, Gan Lin slowly said again: "A few days ago, Yan'er said that there were thieves running around at night in Huze City, and after she drank heavily, the thief screamed. Is this how your leg hurts? ”
Even if Gan Liang is stupid, he knows that his killing of his brother and sister-in-law is a great rebellion, and no one else saw it that night, so he will never admit it. After some thought, Gan Liang said: "I met the thief that night, and I fought with him, and I was injured without fighting. ”
Gan Lin was skeptical and asked, "Is there such a thing?" What did the thief look like? ”
"It's an auspicious day!"
Gan Lin was speechless for a while. Even if he takes 10,000 steps back, the thief is really an auspicious day, so why did he ambush Liu Yan and let go of the enemy Gan Liang? Asked this, Gan Lin had already calculated almost and said: "Okay, don't mention this matter, have you done anything to give people a handle in the past few days?" ”
Gan Liang did not hesitate and said: "That's naturally no, if there is, they would have come to sue a long time ago, brother, can you still not know?" ”
Gan Lin nodded, having said that, there really hasn't been anyone who has come to sue Gan Liang in the last year or two, and it is because of this that he is relieved that he has caused today's disaster.
Looking at his younger brother lying on the thatch, Gan Lin sighed and said: "Good brother, my father and mother died early, I brought you up while studying, it can be said that the eldest brother is like a father, no matter what the outcome of this lawsuit is over tomorrow, don't make any mistakes that you shouldn't make in the future." ”
Gan Liang seemed to understand whether he understood or not, and nodded. After Gan Lin left the cell, the head of the team had already collected the evil deeds that Gan Liang had done recently and reported them on the table of the county order. When he returned to the yamen to deal with the official documents, he first looked at the report, and Gan Lin felt a chill in his heart.
"According to the law of the Jin Dynasty, the lightest murderer is also a prisoner...... The good brother was responsible for two lives, and his father was just right on the auspicious day, and there was no proof of death, which is a problem for Li Langzhong...... Come on, go and ask who accompanied Gan Liang to the Li Medical Center to make trouble today, and bring it to me! ”
It didn't take long for the house slave Lao Qi to be arrested and quickly brought in. At this time, where did Lao Qi still have the majesty of acting for the tiger, the whole person trembled like chaff, and he knew in his heart that he was afraid that he was going to be pushed out to take the blame.
Gan Lin saw that it was Lao Qi and asked: "Gan Qi, let me ask you, after going to the Li Medical Center with his good brother, who did the big fight against Li Langzhong?" Don't be afraid, sir, I enforce the law impartially, it's you who is you, it's Gan Liang who is Gan Liang, and I will explain it truthfully. ”
The gentle tone can always confuse others, especially people like the house slave Lao Qi who are afraid that their lives are on the line. His voice was still a little trembling, and he said, "At that time...... At that time, the second master's legs and feet were inconvenient, so it was my advanced door, and then ...... Then I grabbed Li Langzhong's neck by the collar, and the second master punched him in the face! I kicked again, after Li Langzhong fell to the ground, the second master took the cane a few times, I was afraid that something would happen, and I didn't stop it, master, I should die, you beat me and punish me! ”
Gan Lin has already decided in his heart that what the house slave said can't be too wrong, at most he has taken some of himself out, but when the master does it, how can there be a reason for the slave to watch the play? These words also gave Gan Lin an opportunity.
Gan Lin smiled: "Don't panic, get up and talk back." Gan Qi, how many years have you been in the house? ”
Lao Qi stood up, his back was still arched, and he lowered his head and said, "If you go back to the master, it will be one year and eight months." ”
Gan Lin stroked his beard and said: "It's been some time, and now that Gan Liang's life lawsuit is in place, you have to go to the prison for a few days as an accomplice, so as not to gossip about others, I won't arrest you quickly, you can go by yourself." ”
When Lao Qi heard this, he immediately felt that it didn't seem to be a big deal, but he went to his own cell to squat for a few days and it was over, and he was full of joy at that time, thanked Gan Lin for his magnanimity, and went to the prison cell of the county government without hesitation.
On the other side, Ji Ri and Lu Qingzhou were both in the medical hall, one was calm as water, and the other was ashamed. Lu Qingzhou asked, "Ah Ri, have you already counted such a day?" ”
The auspicious day said: "There will be a harvest of the lowly, and I don't need to calculate it, but there will always be a time when the good people will commit the wrath of the people." But Mr. Lu, don't you really plan to testify that Gan Liang injured you? ”
Lu Qingzhou sighed and said: "It is better to settle the grievance than to settle it, Gan Liang is going to suffer a great disaster this time, and if he doesn't die, he will have to shed his skin, I am healthy now, why do I have to do that trick that fell into the well?" ”
"Mr. Lu is really a doctor and benevolent, very incomparable." The expression on Ji Ri's face was a little strange, but in the end he didn't say anything.
"It is walking the rivers and lakes that makes the old man reluctant to have too much to do with the official family," Lu Qingzhou seemed to recall the time, "The yamen is open to the south, and there is no reason to come in if you have no money." You're not going to get the results you want. ”
Ji Ri said: "How do you know if you don't try?" If you can't bring it down now, then do it later, if the law can't punish him, then let justice speak, Lang Lang's blue sky and white sun, I don't believe he can cover the sky with one hand! ”
Thinking of this, Ji Ri couldn't help but regret that he didn't use Mr. Zhou's identity to talk about "Dou E's Injustice", and now it's too late to make up for it.
"That's right, Liu Xi! That guy is usually submissive, but if you really want to say who is the most well-informed in the news of Zecheng, Liubiju must be counted among them! My father's death has not yet been investigated, he must know which official sent the official out of the city to collect taxes that day, and if it is still this good man, I will make him pay for the blood debt! ”
The auspicious day suddenly came to the spirit, said goodbye to Lu Qingzhou, and hurriedly rushed to Liubiju, who had been absent for a long time.
