Chapter 140: Stalemate

The trial is again deadlocked.

The Zhang family and the Song family insisted on their own words and continued to argue.

As the saying goes, it is difficult for a clean official to decide family affairs, not to mention that this is still a family matter of his own family, at this moment, the head of the county order is also bigger than two.

He looked at Mrs. Wu and the Zhang family, who were arguing in the hall, and remade a few shocking shots in annoyance:

"Shut up! Above the court, noisy and shouting, what a system!"

It's a little quieter down there.

"Master, what do you think?"

The county order was a headache by their quarrel, and in the spirit of the authorities' fascination and the idea of being a bystander, he asked the master on the side.

The master coughed lightly and cleared his throat:

"Lord County Commander, if the Zhang family can get that letter, maybe their words are still somewhat credible. But now the most crucial evidence is missing, which is really strange."

Hearing this, the little guy in the hall immediately knelt down and banged his head:

"Lord County, the villain is willing to guarantee with his life, the head of the family did receive a letter this morning, and it was handed over by the villain, but, now it is really gone!"

"This ......"

The county order was a little hesitant, looking at the appearance of this little guy, it really didn't look like a lie.

The master continued on the side:

"It's a good letter, why did it suddenly disappear, I think you haven't had time to forge it, that's why you said that!"

The little guy knew in his heart that if the Zhang family was unlucky, their house slaves would only end up worse.

"What the villain said is not half false, please be aware of it!"

Looking at the little guy's honest and loyal appearance, the county commander suddenly had a feeling that the Zhang family was dying in his heart, and what the little guy said did not dispel his suspicions, but made him feel that the Zhang family was lying.

"Master Zhang, this matter is very important, I advise you to recruit it from the truth, and this official assures you that this matter will not involve the rest of your Zhang family."

The county commander knew the status of the Zhang family in the city, and if he didn't have any conclusive evidence in his hands, just based on the scene he saw in the Moon Tower and the words of the Song family, he would judge Zhang Xuehai guilty, and I was afraid that it would cause a storm.

However, in his heart, he still prefers that the Zhang family is lying.

Zhang's father also saw that there was no conclusive evidence for the county order, and he resolutely refused to admit it.

"Lord County Commander, our Zhang family is also a family with a head and a face, and my son has read poetry and books since he was a child, and he will never do such a depraving thing."

As he spoke, he turned around and raised his hand to point at Master Song.

"I know you don't like your concubine Song Wan, but it's also your daughter after all, how can you bear to frame your daughter like this and ruin her reputation!"

Master Song fought back unceremoniously:

"To do something wrong is to do it wrong! My Song family doesn't have such a shameless daughter!"

"Okay, you have a bite of my son and your daughter are secretly happy, then you say, what conclusive evidence do you have!"

Master Zhang threw down his sleeves angrily and glared at Master Song.

"If there is, you can take it out, so that everyone can be convinced!"

Evidence.

This made Master Song difficult, and he had listened to Mrs. Wu and his daughter about this matter from beginning to end, and if there was any conclusive evidence, he really couldn't come up with it.

Father Zhang saw that Father Song frowned, did not speak, and immediately said to the county order:

"County order, our Zhang family is very sure that we have received a letter, although we don't know how to disappear at the moment, but the Song family has no evidence! This is definitely someone who is jealous of our Zhang family and wants to frame us!"

The county magistrate bowed his head slightly and looked at Father Song:

"Father-in-law, think about it again."

Father Song lowered his head and fell into deep thought.

There really is no conclusive evidence for him.

At this time, Song Wen took a step forward and said slowly:

"County order, I have witnessed Song Wan and Zhang Xuehai playing and fighting

It's a scene."

"Look, what is it to see? How do I know if what you're saying is true or not!"

After Mr. Zhang finished speaking indignantly, Mrs. Zhang covered her chest and said bitterly:

"Song Wen, our Zhang family treats you well, why are you so vicious in your heart, you want to frame your own husband!"

"I didn't!"

"My daughter is not like that."

Song Wen and Song's father Qi Qi said.

"Your Song family is the one who has a corrupt family style, and the family is not strictly governed!"

"Your Zhang family is bad!"

The two families quarreled again, and the scene became chaotic for a while.

Just as Mrs. Wu was fighting against the Zhang family, her skirt was suddenly dragged twice.

Mrs. Wu turned her head to look and found that it was Ye Zhen.

"Come, I have something to say to you."

Ye Zhen hid in the crowd, hunched over and tried her best to hide her arrival, while Mrs. Wu also slowly withdrew from the scolding and retreated to Ye Zhen's side.

"Mrs. Xie, how did you get in?"

Mrs. Wu was very surprised by Ye Zhen's arrival.

Ye Zhen pulled her closer and whispered:

"Didn't I say it, I've been following you all along, and I just thought of a little way to get in, okay, let's not talk about this for now, I have something important to tell you."

Mrs. Wu immediately listened with her ears, Ye Zhen just said a few words, and she was shocked, she glanced at Ye Zhen incredulously, only to see the other party nodding, full of confidence and said:

"That's what you say."

In the next second, Ye Zhen's figure quietly retreated again.

After pondering for a while, Mrs. Wu took a few steps forward, and her loud voice made everyone present quiet for a moment:

"Lord Prefectural Order, I have very important evidence to say!"

As soon as these words came out, both the Zhang family and the Song family showed surprised expressions and looked at Mrs. Wu in unison.

Especially Zhang's father, his face was even more strange.

If the Song family is evidence, why didn't they just say it, why did they suddenly conjure one out of thin air now?

And the county magistrate was also taken aback, sat up straight, and asked anxiously:

"What evidence!?"

"Lord County Order, as far as I know, there is a dense forest in the mountain behind Jinquan Temple, and there is a secret mansion in the forest, this is where Zhang Xuehai and Song Wan cheated!"

What?

Gimcheonji Temple?

These words once again stunned everyone present, and even after hearing the county order, his body shook twice, and his eyes were full of disbelief.

This Zhang Xuehai is too bold, he actually put such a thing as Jinwu Zangjiao in the pure land of Buddhism.

"Someone! Go to Gimcheonji Temple now!"

The county magistrate hurriedly walked down the high platform, pointed at Mrs. Wu and said:

"You lead the way."

"Yes."

Mrs. Wu glared triumphantly at the Zhang family, whose faces were like ashes, and walked in front with their heads held high, and soon, a large number of people set off for Jinquan Temple.

When he came to the back mountain, the county magistrate looked at the lush dense forest on the mountain, and his brows were furrowed.

No wonder he hasn't noticed anything abnormal, after all, this kind of dense forest is usually deserted, who would have thought that Zhang Xuehai would actually cultivate in it......

Damn it!

"Come on, search for me, inch by inch, even if you dig all the mountains for me, you must find that house!"

The prefectural order was given, and the catchers and soldiers immediately divided into several groups and entered the dense forest.

The Zhang family looked at the scene in front of them, which can be described as shocking, Zhang's father is still psychologically better, but his forehead is also full of sweat, and he can't stop shaking, Zhang's mother has almost fainted, and can only lean softly in Zhang's father's arms.

About half an hour later, there was a catch.

"My lord, I found it."

In the shock of the audience, the county order's face became more and more gloomy.

When searching the mountains,

He still has a little illusion in his heart, if he can't find the house this time, he will go back and give Song Wan a break, and don't expand the situation.

But now he swears that he must make Zhang Xuehai pay the price of blood!

"Lead the way!"

The prefectural order was almost said through gritting his back molars.

After a while, the people came to a house.

This house is not big, just a few small, bungalows and a courtyard, it looks ordinary, not like a place for cheating, but like a place for hermits to cultivate.

If it weren't for Mrs. Wu talking about the usefulness of this house, probably no one would have thought about it in that direction.

"Open the door."

As soon as the county order was issued, a soldier immediately raised his foot and kicked the door, and within a few clicks, the door opened.

"Master, you are guarding outside with the soldiers, the Song family and the Zhang family, you are guarding with your own officials."

Although the master has been with him for many years, the county magistrate didn't want him to see his family ugly, so he only took Zhang and Song's two families into the house for inspection.

The first thing I opened was a large bed.

Seeing this bed that was more than enough for the two of them to lie down, the county order's face changed from blue to purple, and from purple to black.

He seems to have imagined how Song Wan, the ***, enjoyed the joy of fish and water with Zhang Xuehai, the female godmother, on this bed when he was not at home, or even during the day.

Damn, damn it!

He's going to tear them to pieces!

"Song An, Song Wen, you search for me."

"Huh? This room is very clean."

Song An was still a little confused, standing in place and not knowing what to do, but Song Wen had already begun to search the bed and table.

"What are you doing in a daze! Do you want to shield Song Wan?"

After being shouted by the county order, Song An shivered, and hurried to the other corner of the room to search.

This room is not big, only a bed and a table and some small objects, and after a while, Song Wen brought a jade pendant over.

"My lord, this is what I found in the bedside cabinet, you see."

The county commander took the jade pendant, just glanced at it roughly, and could no longer suppress the anger in his heart, he slapped the jade pendant on the table fiercely, and roared:

"Die***, is that what you did to me?"

Song's father and Song's mother stepped forward to take a look, and the jade pendant was the relic of Song Wan's mother.

This is a relic left to her by Song Wan's biological mother, and Song Wan cherishes it very much, and usually carries it with her.

"My lord, this is Song Wan's jade pendant......

The county commander turned around, faced Father Zhang, and held up the jade pendant:

"Master Song, tell the two of them again, whose jade pendant it is!"

"Yes, it's Song Wan's."

Mother Zhang's eyes were fixed on the jade pendant, and after a while, she wailed and fainted. Zhang's father only felt dizzy and sweaty.

"My lord, what's going on?"

"You still have the face to ask me what's the matter?"

The county commander pinched the piece of jade and said fiercely:

"I also want to ask you what kind of dirty things your good son has done in this house!"

After speaking, he threw the piece of jade at Zhang's father, Zhang's father didn't dare to avoid it, and was hit in the forehead by the jade pendant, and he let out a painful sigh, covering the wound and hanging his head and not daring to say more.

Song Wen hurriedly stepped forward to pick up the jade pendant, and came to the county order again, and persuaded in a good voice:

"Lord Prefectural, don't be angry."

The county magistrate glanced at Song Wen, thinking that she was in the same disease as himself, and sighed heavily.

At this time, Zhang's father seemed to think of something to say, and said in a loud voice:

"This, this must be a sham! This house is so clean, how can there be a piece of jade pendant in a good manner, who would be so stupid to miss a piece of jade pendant here and deliberately ask others to check it!"

But the county order was already angry at the moment, and he could no longer believe a word from the Zhang family.

"Shut up! If you talk nonsense, I'll put you in jail!"

With that, he walked out of the house.

"Search for me! I'm going to have to search all the houses here!"
