Bao Xu said to the prefect that the Hou Yuan robbed other people's girls, and he was innocent of death; Hou Yuanwai's grandfather, who killed the girl, is even more innocent; Hou Yuanwai's grandfather who killed the girl also robbed other girls, and even more innocent. Even if Hou Yuanwai was killed by Shahu, Shahu should not be convicted. Sand Tiger is righteous and courageous.

……

It's going crazy.

Linghu Bozhong said: "Anyway, the sand tiger killed people, no matter what, people's lives are at stake." If the sand tiger kills someone, the sand tiger is guilty. ”

At this time, Ling Hu Bozhong saw Xiahou Weng.

Linghu Bozhong said to Xiahou Weng: "Did someone threaten you, did you say that?" Did someone give you money to say that? ”

Bao Xu said: "Xiahou Weng is telling the truth. Who threatens Xiahou Weng, let Xiahou Weng according to his words, who is the grandson! Whoever gives Xiahou Weng money, let Xiahou Weng according to his words, who is the great-grandson. ”

The prefect said, "Alright, alright." Don't talk about it. ”

The prefect said in his heart: Is it like talking, the county lord scolded the street.

Bao Xu said: "Lord Prefect, Shahu is righteous and courageous, and Shahu should not be convicted. ”

Linghu Bozhong said: "Even if there was a matter of Hou Yuan robbing other people's girls before, in short, Shahu killed someone, in short, human life is at stake, in short, Shahu is guilty." ”

The prefect said, "All right." Come on. ”

……

What does the prefect think?

He wanted to see what the second witness had to say.

The second witness was Hou San.

The prefect wanted to see what Hou San had to say.

The prefect asked Langxing to pass on Hou San, but for some reason, Hou San didn't come for a long time.

……

Why didn't Hou San come?

Hou San met with something.

Hou San is the chief administrator of the Hou Mansion.

When Shahu killed Hou Yuanwai that day, Hou San was by Hou Yuanwai's side.

Hou Yuanwai is the owner of Hou Zhuang.

The house outside the Hou Yuan is called the Hou Mansion.

Hou San does not live in the Hou Mansion.

Hou San has his own home.

Hou San has a father, a mother, a wife, and a son.

His son is five years old.

His home is not far from the Hou Mansion.

……

Last night.

Linghu Shou came to Hou San's house.

Hou San saw that Linghu Shou was coming, and hurriedly gave him a warm reception.

The Hou Mansion is much smaller than Ling Hu Shou's Ling Hu Mansion, and Ling Hu Shou is the deputy head of the county, Ling Hu Shou has a higher status than Hou San, and Hou San does not dare to wait for Hou Shou when Ling Hu Shou comes.

Hou San saw that Ling Hushou was coming, and hurriedly set up wine for Ling Hushou.

The wine was on the table.

Hou San drank wine and asked Linghu Shou: "Linghu Gongzi, is there something wrong with me?" ”

Ling Hushou said: "The prefect of the cloudy day came to Qingshui County to investigate the killing of your family members (Hou Yuanwai). ”

Hou San said, "What? The prefect is coming on a cloudy day? ”

"Yes."

"The prefect is here for my family's affairs?"

"Yes."

"What happened outside my family has alarmed the prefect?"

"After your family members were killed, Bao Xu (the county magistrate) protected the sand tiger, Bao Xu did not uphold justice for your family members, and someone sued Bao Xu, so the prefect came to investigate the affairs of your family members."

"I said that after the death of my family member, why can't I administer justice for my family member, it turns out that the county magistrate protects the sand tiger."

"Do you know where the sand tiger is these days?"

"I don't know."

"In Xiao Bao Zhuang. Bao Yulan, the son of the county magistrate, hid the sand tiger. ”

"yes?"

"The prefect of the cloudy day is here, what are you going to say?"

"Of course I speak for my family. I said that my family member died unjustly, and asked the prefect to administer justice for my family member. I said that Shahu killed my family member and killed the girl's grandfather, and asked the prefect to uphold justice for my family member and the girl's grandfather. ”

"Was the girl's grandfather really killed by a sand tiger?"

"It's not."

"The girl's grandfather was not killed by the sand tiger, you better not say who killed the girl's grandfather. You must know that it is sinful to talk nonsense in front of the prefect, especially if you are speaking as a witness. ”

"Xie Linghu's reminder."

"Anyway, your family was killed by Shahu, anyway, Shahu killed someone, anyway, you can convict Shahu with that, why bother to add snakes?"

"The prefect asked the girl how her grandfather died, what did I say?"

"You can pretend to be deaf and dumb. You could say you didn't see it. You can say that you have something to do, and when you come back, you see Shahu standing there with a knife, and the girl's grandfather and your family members are dead in front of Shahu. ”

Xie Linghu instructed. Xie Linghu Gongzi pointed out. ”

……

After Ling Hushou left, Hou San was there thinking about seeing the prefect on a cloudy day.

Hou San was thinking about something when he heard someone knocking on the door.

Hou Sanxin said: Who is looking for me again? Could it be that Ling Hushou didn't finish saying something and came back?

Hou San opened the door and saw a young man in his twenties outside the door.

Who is coming?

Hou San didn't know.

Hou San asked, "Is there anything wrong with me?" ”

The young man who came said, "Are you the great butler of Hou Sanhou?" ”

Hou San said, "Yes." ”

"My son-in-law has something to look for you."

"Your son-in-law is looking for me? Who is your son-in-law? ”

"You'll find out when you go."

"Okay."

Hou San is the general manager of the Hou Mansion, and there were often such things in the past, and he didn't care too much about it.

He went with the man who came.

……

The young man led Hou San to a courtyard.

The young man said, "Go in, Chief Hou, my son-in-law is waiting for you inside." ”

Hou San entered.

The young men followed.

Hou San went in to take a look, a son was waiting for him there, there was a table in the room, and good wine and food were placed on the table.

Seeing Hou San coming, Gongzi hurriedly got up.

Childe said, "Chief Hou, you are here." ”

Hou San didn't know Gongzi.

Hou San asked, "Who are you?" ”

Childe said, "Butler Hou, you sit down first." You sit down first. After sitting down, he said while eating. ”

Hou San sat down.

Childe sat down.

The young man poured tea and water to serve Hou San and Gongzi.

Childe and Hou San were eating and talking.

Hou San asked: "Childe, what are you doing, what is your name, do you have something to do with me?" ”

Childe said, "My name is Gu Yue, and I want to make friends with you." ”

There were a lot of things like this before, and Hou San didn't care too much about it.

The Hou Mansion has some status, and Hou San also has some status by borrowing the light of the Hou Mansion, and people often invite Hou San to dinner like this in the past.

Childe doesn't say anything else.

Childe only said that he wanted to make friends with Hou San.

……

After a while, Hou San was full of wine and food.

Hou San said goodbye to his son and went home.

Hou San went home and saw that he was stupid.

He saw his wife and father crying there.

Hou San asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Hou San's wife is called Hou.

Hou said: "After you left, a group of people came to our family. The gang snatched our kids. ”

"What?"

Hou San was taken aback.

Hou San looked at the bed: the child was indeed missing.

Hou San, why did the white boy invite him to drink.

It turned out to be a plan to divert the tiger from the mountain.

……

What should I do if my child is gone?

Hou San led people to find it.

I searched for a long time but couldn't find it.

Hou San led people to the place where Gongzi invited him to drink: Gongzi had long since disappeared.
