When he saw the little scholar again, Zhang Jingxu felt that his heart was soft again.

This young man from a humble background is diligent, self-motivated, kind, and benevolent.

For such an outstanding descendant, anyone in the world who is an elder loves him, and he always can't help but want to treat him as his own nephew, and always subconsciously wants to take care of him.

But Zhang Jingxu can't reveal this kind of thought now, because his ascension to the court represents the law.

For the sake of the public, there is no favoritism, but if you ignore the law, what is the use of trying to save it?

Therefore, Zhang Jingxu's face was still sinking like water, and he looked at the arrival of the little scholar with a calm expression.

He was able to look calm, but the people present were frightened.

Almost everyone can't believe their eyes......

Sun Yun?

How could it be Sun Yun?

Didn't this child be killed?

He died three years ago!

Why did he suddenly appear now, and look the same way he did three years ago?

The men, women and children of the whole village, all of them were pale, and almost subconsciously, they looked at the expressions of the people around them.

Then he found that everyone was the same, and he immediately knew that he was not the only one who was wrong, so he was finally able to confirm that each of them saw Sun Yun.

But this kind of certainty makes people feel even more panicked, especially as the little scholar gets closer and closer, and the people feel more and more hairy in their hearts......

And the most frightening scene appeared when Sun Yun finally arrived at the well, and the baby actually opened his mouth to everyone and greeted many people politely.

"Third uncle, you got up early today!"

"Second aunt, you also come to get soaked beans!"

"Fourth grandfather, why are you here too? The humidity is heavy at night, and your body is not good......"

"Huh? Five cousins? You've always been a fan of work, why do you come to the well tonight to get beans? ”

"Oh, I understand, Fifth Cousin, you are finally willing to live a good life, and you are finally willing to start working hard to support your family......"

"Great, this is great, the fifth sister-in-law has been working hard for so many years, and finally looking forward to the change of the fifth brother."

"Fifth cousin, you can't beat your sister-in-law again in the future! She is so hard, working hard every day, but every time you lose your gambling money, you have to beat her when you get home. ”

"Fifth cousin, we are the pillars of the family as men, it's not okay to beat our wives, but we can't do this!"

In the darkness of the night, among the crowd by the well, the little scholar was so polite that he almost greeted the villagers one by one.

However......

His greeting caused great consternation.

……

"Hell!"

Finally, one of the villagers couldn't take it anymore and screamed in horror as if he was crazy.

"Don't come here, don't come here, Brother Sun Yun, I can't stop you."

"Please, spare me."

The man screamed in horror and begged for mercy, but his next actions highlighted his incomparable selfishness.

I saw that he first desperately shrank into the crowd, and then dragged a woman in front of him, but he still didn't seem to feel safe enough, so he ran to Zhang Jingxu with a roll......

"My lord, Lord Catcher, you save me, you protect me! I don't want to die, I don't want to die! ”

A handful of snot and a handful of tears, looking pitiful and pathetic.

But Zhang Jingxu didn't say a word, and directly raised his leg with a fierce kick, and after kicking him away, he said coldly: "Look at your frightened appearance, you were the one who beat people in the first place......"

The villager was kicked to the ground, his face turned pale, and now he had to fight not only in horror and revenge, but also in the face of punishment from the yamen.

Three years ago, he was indeed the one who killed the little scholar.

Zhang Jingxu's tone was even colder, he stretched out his hand and waved at the servant, and said in a deep voice: "This person, write it down, he was one of them when he grabbed beans and beat people." ”

The officials were stunned at first, and then they all suddenly realized.

Immediately afterwards, he looked at Zhang Jingxu with admiration.

The boss is amazing!

In this way, the villagers were found to be evil.

It turns out that this is the real trial, and this is the trial of the original person's case.

borrowed the appearance of ghost scholars to deter the minds of the criminals, and there was no need to torture to extract confessions, nor did they need to search for clues.

It's just a matter of gathering the whole village and deliberately concentrating it around this well......

The purpose of this is very obvious, it is to let the villagers touch the scene, so that they can't help but recall the scene when the little scholar was beaten to death.

Then, Li San arrived with the little scholar......

Those who have done evil will be terrified in their hearts.

I will jump out and beg for mercy!

……

There were four people in a panic, and there were four people in a panic, which means that all four of them had committed something in the first place.

If you count the five people who died in the last five days, a total of nine people were involved in the case of that year, and they ganged up to kill the little scholar in order to snatch the beans.

"Write it down, write it all down for me!"

At this moment, Zhang Jingxu's powerful voice was like a roar, he almost couldn't suppress his anger, he really wanted to beat these four villagers to death with his own hands.

However, he still forcibly restrained himself after all.

If a man is guilty, let him be judged according to the law.

Even if the offender is guilty of the most heinous crimes, the executioner should be beheaded with a knife in his hand.

And as the head of the county government, he undertakes the responsibility of arresting, even though he has the official seal borrowed from the county order at this time, but he can't kill people by himself.

The reason is very simple, if this is done, it is the use of lynching, and the use of lynching to kill is the most annoying, and how is it different from the evil ghost's revenge on the victim?

Therefore, it cannot be done.

……

But Zhang Jingxu's heart was really aggrieved.

I always felt like there was a fire burning in my chest......

He gasped for a long time, took a deep breath for a dozen or so breaths, and barely regained his composure, and was finally able to continue!

Tonight, here......

Set up a court to try unjust cases!

This case has to try both people and ghosts, and now that the human case has been tried, the next thing to try is naturally ghosts.

But!

How to judge?

In the hearts of the officials present, there was a strong expectation.

……

……

No one expected that Zhang Jingxu had no intention of interrogating at all.

In front of everyone's eyes, I saw Zhang Jingxu looking at the little scholar calmly, and suddenly waved his hand lightly, and his tone was very gentle......

"Sun Yun, come forward!"

"I have something to say to you!"

"Come on, baby!"

"Come here, come to me."

The little scholar not far away was a little stunned, and his delicate face was obviously confused, but he did not refute, but obediently stepped forward to salute.

When he saluted, he was both respectful and curious, and his eyes were as clear as water blinked, and he looked up at Zhang Jingxu and asked, "It turns out that you are a head catcher, I don't know what you called me to come forward?" Are you going to ask me? Sun Yun is willing to answer! ”

Zhang Jingxu nodded slightly, then spoke softly, and said, "I asked you to come over, I do have something to ask, but before asking, we have to change our name first." ”

Change the title?

The little scholar was obviously stunned, and asked curiously: "How do you want to change the title?" ”

Zhang Jingxu's eyes were gentle, and his tone was also gentle, and he said slowly: "When I went to your house before, you politely called me sir. It's a good title, and I was very happy to hear it......"

As he spoke, he glanced at the little scholar, and said in a more gentle tone: "So I want you to continue to call me that, continue to call me sir, how about it, are you willing?" ”

The little scholar suddenly smiled, his delicate face was all hearty, and said: "Of course you can, in fact, I also like to call you sir, but because you are a head catcher, I don't dare to ......"

Zhang Jingxu didn't wait for him to finish, he directly interrupted him, and said solemnly: "You shout now, call me sir." If you can give me a teacher-student ceremony, then I will be even happier. ”

The little scholar was a little puzzled, but he nodded happily and said heartily: "Sir, student Sun Yun will give you a gift." ”

"Good!"

Zhang Jingxu seemed to be in a mood suddenly relaxed, and raised his head and let out a laugh.

Then he lowered his head, looked at the little scholar again, and said: "Although there is no truth of teachers and students, there is the fate of teachers and students, and the fate of teachers and students is the most magical since ancient times, and the fate of teachers and students is like father and son."

"This time you are a gentleman, I will be your husband for life. Look at you like your father......"

When Zhang Jingxu said this, his expression suddenly turned solemn, and he said solemnly: "Child, let me ask you, if someone beats you and oppresses you, will you have hatred in your heart?" ”

The little scholar was stunned and said, "What you asked is too strange, why would someone beat me and oppress me?" ”

Zhang Jingxu's face was calm, and he said slowly: "For no reason, act wantonly, because you are weak, so you will be bullied." ”

The little scholar frowned suddenly, shook his head again and again, and said, "This is not good, I have to reason with them." You can't just bully others just because they're weak. ”

Zhang Jingxu's eyes were like water, and he asked in a deep voice, "Are you just reasoning with them?" Don't you hate in your heart? ”

Hate?

The little scholar seemed to be slightly stunned.

Then he smiled, his smile was so pure and clear, and he said with sincerity: "I read the books of sages and learn to educate and educate, if I am deceived because others beat me, I will have resentment in my heart, how can this be considered a scholar, how can this educate people......"

Zhang Jingxu took a deep breath and asked with a solemn expression: "So, your answer is not hate, right?" ”

The little scholar smiled heartily again, his eyes were as clear as a puddle of water, and he said without hesitation: "Yes, I don't hate"

"Good!"

Zhang Jingxu smiled and nodded.

In the midst of laughter, Zhang Jingxu's eyes seemed to glance at the well.

Suddenly, he spoke in a strong tone, as if he wanted to speak to some being, and said loudly: "Since he has never had hatred in his heart, then he should not be angry......"
