Ji Ri looked at his masterpiece with satisfaction, carrying a mop cloth and carrying red paint back to the Chunlai Teahouse, at this time the sky was already dark. Li Fu was a little confused by the noise just now, and was about to turn over and continue to sleep, but he heard the door knock again, and finally couldn't sleep. After getting dressed and washing my face, I went downstairs and met an auspicious day.

"Mr. Zhou, what are you?" Li Fu rubbed his eyes, really puzzled.

Ji Ri smiled: "Shopkeeper Li, hide your red paint and mop, I know that you are a delicate guy, don't make trouble." ”

Li Fu was confused when he heard this, took the things, looked at the auspicious day and returned to the room, only then did he wake up the guy.

"Eh, wake up, wasn't it Mr. Zhou who just knocked on the door? What did he come back for? ”

The guy said in a daze: "It's not what to do, ask me to move things." ”

"Moving things? What is it? ”

The guy rubbed his eyes, yawned again, and said, "It's the old man Guan who is missing an arm." ”

Following the direction pointed by the guy, Li Fu saw that the one-armed Guan Gong was indeed gone, and his face turned pale.

"I'll give you a day off, go back and see your father, remember, you didn't do anything last night, and slept deeper than a dead pig, do you hear?"

The man was at a loss and asked, "Shopkeeper, what did I do?" ”

Li Fu hurriedly said: "You still have the face to ask!" Didn't you move the statue of Guan Gong? ”

The guy said, "Did I move?" ”

Li Fu was about to choke on the fire, but suddenly felt that the guy seemed to be very good, and said: "Give you 200 yuan, go buy some wine and food to honor your father, and save yourself from going around in front of my eyes!" ”

When the rooster crowed three times, Ji Ri came down from the upstairs again, said hello when he saw Li Fu, and then went out like a nobody. Li Fu was even more puzzled now, as if he saw Mr. Zhou coming back and was sleepwalking, he looked down at the red paint placed at his feet, and suddenly sighed: "If people don't know Guan Yunchang, I will know that the days are long!" ”

After all, the Chunlai Teahouse is a big teahouse, and it also sells a little early, and someone came to the door just after one o'clock in the morning, with a red face, and said to Li Fu: "Shopkeeper, cut me half a catty of pigskin jelly, and then beat two taels of old Baifen." ”

Li Fu wondered: "What time is this, how can I have skin jelly for you, and we don't want to drink morning wine?" ”

The man laughed and said, "Then let's have a green onion cake, I'm happy today, I can't drink some of it!" ”

Li Fu smiled: "What is so happy that I am also happy?" ”

"You don't know? Guan Erye is a saint! It's the one-armed Guan Gong in your teahouse, standing at the entrance of the yamen, and the red words are dripping on the ground, scaring people to death! ”

Fortunately, this one was illiterate, so he didn't let Li Fu finish the surprise once. He fetched wine and cut bread and sent it over, and another man came in.

"Shopkeeper, take half a catty of sorghum white and cut a plate of haggis."

Li Fu was prepared, calmed down a little, and asked, "Guest officer, have you also seen the words at the door of the county ya?" ”

"No, I didn't see the words, I saw the Tibetan poem, now Ganliang's grandson is going to be unlucky!"

Li Fu's hands shaking into chaff when he served him wine, fortunately the wine jug was deep enough, otherwise half a catty of rice wine would not even be half a tael estimated.

"Guest officer, what is this hidden poem?"

The man laughed and said, "Guan Yun Changshu: Heaven does not hide traitors!" ”

Good things don't go out, but bad things spread thousands of miles. Gan Liang was already the master of the people of Huze City, and he didn't know how many people secretly rejoiced in the prison, and when the news of the one-armed Guan Gong's inscription poem spread, the entire Huze City was blown up.

Of course, the most important embodiment is that the entrance of the county yamen is surrounded by three layers inside and three layers outside, and the soldiers patrolling the city still think that there are dead people at the yamen, so they hurriedly separate the people, and go in to see, it is better to be dead!

"Wang Jun, can you talk about this?" Zhang Yu wiped the sweat from his head and said to the servant beside him.

Wang Jun hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Brother Yu, I usually run errands, this time it's your turn!" ”

The two of you pushed me to let me, and after a while, we discussed going to report to Ganlin together. Leaving the crowd, Zhang Wang and the two went to Ganfu together, Ganlin's tax collection work had just ended yesterday, and he asked the master to count the account for a night, and he got up from the bed early in the morning to look at it.

"Master, it's not good!"

Gan Lin put down the account book and asked, "Presumptuous, what kind of system is it to be so unlucky early in the morning!" What happened, is there someone who wants to sue Gan Liang again? ”

Zhang Yu said with a bitter face: "It would be good if you really sued Second Master Gan, master, go and take a look, the one-armed Guan Gong at the gate of the county government has appeared as a saint!" ”

When Gan Lin heard this, he jumped up directly from the chair and said, "Don't panic, don't let the people see it, you go first, I'll come right away!" ”

Wang Jun said: "Master, it's late, we all worked hard to squeeze in to know!" ”

Gan Lin's brain was pulled up by his temples and jumped in pain, so he hurriedly changed to the official mansion and ran to the county office. Gan Lin was dressed in official uniforms, and Zhang Yu and Wang Jun called some officials to rush to the scene together, first dispersed the onlookers.

When Gan Lin arrived at the scene, his blood suddenly surged, and he almost fainted. This time back and forth has been more than three hours, less than half an hour before today's trial of the case, and it is impossible to deal with the landscape at the yamen.

Thinking of this, Gan Lin was relieved, and Lang Lang said: "I, Gan Lin, have been in Zezhi County for seven years, not to mention the Pi Ze side, it can also be called to live and work in peace and contentment, since Guan Yunchang wants to watch Gan judge his brother, what does it matter?" Ascension! ”

After a short time, Gan Liang and Li Langzhong's apprentices Li Er and Ji Ri were brought to the court. After a night's rest, Gan Liang's right foot was remedicated, tied with gauze, and his hair was tied up, not as embarrassed as yesterday. Li Er's eyes were red, in stark contrast to the dark circles under Ji Ri.

Gan Lin looked at the three people in the audience and said: "Yesterday's lawsuit against Gan Liang, respectively, Li Er sued Li Langzhong for being killed by Gan Liang, and Ji Ri sued Gan Liang for smashing the store and injuring his mother, can you two admit it?" ”

Li Er and Ji Ri nodded their heads and said yes.

Gan Lin nodded and said, "Come on, bring Gan Qi!" ”

The house slave Lao Qi was tied by ropes, Zhang Yu and Wang Jun stood on both sides, and kicked at the back knee, and Lao Qi fell to the ground with a thud.

"Gan Qi, did you participate in the murder of Li Langzhong?"

Lao Qi gritted his teeth and said, "Back to the master, the villain is indeed involved!" ”

Li Er, who was standing on the side, faintly felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't say it. Gan Lin opened his mouth to ask again: "According to the evidence collected by various parties in this county, it was you who kicked that Li Langzhong to the ground, can you admit it?" ”

Lao Qi nodded, this was what he told Gan Lin personally, and he couldn't help but retract his confession in front of the court.

"I came forward to be obedient, what was the reason for Li Langzhong's death?"

He said: "Back to the master, it was a sudden death, and the stick on the head was not a fatal injury. ”

As soon as this remark came out, everyone was shocked. The slave Lao Qi's face was even more pale, and he shouted frantically: "Master, the villain is wronged!" It's all ......."

Before he finished speaking, Zhang Yu slapped him on the mouth, and said indignantly: "How can you talk nonsense in the court, the master didn't ask you, what kind of mouth do you have!" ”

Gan Lin nodded with satisfaction and asked: "Gan Qi, if there are any grievances, the county will enforce the law impartially and will not tolerate treachery." ”

Lao Qi was slapped when he spoke, his tongue was bitten by his teeth, the blood flowed, and his mouth was full of words, where could he still speak?

"In this case, the murder of Li Langzhong was caused by Gan Qi who kicked Li Langzhong to the ground, which led to death, although Gan Liang was beaten with a stick, he was not the main culprit, so he signed a conclusion!"

After speaking, Gan Lin turned his head and looked at Ji Ri again: "Ji Ri, you said that Gan Liang smashed your shop and injured your mother, can anyone testify?" ”

Ji Ri said: "There is indeed a witness, it is Liu Xi, the shopkeeper of Liubiju next door to the villain's shop, in addition, the villain also has to sue Zhang Yu and Wang Jun, and when the tax is levied, he will use swords and soldiers in vain, kill my father, and ask the county master to call the shots!" ”

Gan Lin's eyes shrank slightly, faintly smelling the smell of conspiracy, but he didn't know where to start. He stabilized his mind and said, "Come on, bring Liu Xi, the shopkeeper of Liubiju." What is the reason for the murder of your father? Climbing the court officials, although they are officials, they are not something you can afford, but there is real evidence? ”

Ji Ri calmed down and said: "The villain was herding cattle for Chen Yuanwai at that time, and it was Chen Nian, the housekeeper of Chen Mansion, who came to inform him that after returning to his hometown, the neighbors said that my father had no money to pay taxes for grain, so he was beaten to death, and the villagers in Junling can testify!" ”

"On which day was your father killed, how could it have been Zhang Yu and Wang Jun?" Gan Lin didn't want to protect these two officials, but he was afraid of pulling out the mastermind behind the scenes, Gan Liang, if the officials turned against the water, Gan Liang's life would be difficult to protect.

Zhang Yu and Wang Jun looked at Ji Ri with a frightened face, as if they didn't know about this matter, and Ji Ri was steady and said word by word: "My father was killed half a month ago, and the villain heard him mention it when he was making a plaque at Zhu Carpenter, and Zhang Yu and Wang Jun made a special trip to greet him that day. ”

Gan Lin's face sank like water, and asked, "Zhang Yu Wang Jun, have you two ever committed this incident?" ”

"Master, the villain did go to Junling with Wang Jun to collect taxes, and he also went to Carpenter Zhu, you know this, but there is no such thing as killing the croppers, master, you know everything!"

Zhang Yu and Wang Jun knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly, for fear that Gan Lin would detain the crime on their heads. And Gan Lin knows the inside story very well, and if he wants to protect the two, he needs to think in the long run. Gan Lin pondered for a moment and said: "The old case has not been cleared, and a new case has been added, I am afraid that I will not be able to clarify the original story today, so I have to withdraw from the court for the time being and think about it in the long run." ”

Gan Lin was just about to fall into the shocking wood, Li Er suddenly shouted: "The one who killed my master was Gan Liang, a house slave in Gan Qi, what enmity does he have with my master?" It's Gan Liang who forced my master to scrape his bones, and he became angry because his wound was infected, Guan Erye, you have all appeared as saints, why don't you give my master justice! ”
