"That's his senior brother, the person who raised him, the same existence as his own father and brother." Zhang Yuqing said, "People are not plants and trees, how can they be ruthless? If his senior brother deserved it, he would never find a way to help his senior brother get rid of his crime, but now that his senior brother was clearly framed, how could he watch an innocent person die in the court? ”

The clerk leaned against the wall of the alley, in his hand-copied sleeve, looking like a hanger, "I'm just a little clerk with no grade or level, it's useless to look for me about this matter!" ”

"You're the one who copied the dossier, aren't you?" Zhang Yuqing asked again, "Can the prisoner plead guilty and be detained?" ”

The clerk shook his head, "I don't admit my guilt when I faint after being beaten by the killing stick...... However, the human and material evidence are all there, and the adult has already been sentenced, so it doesn't matter whether he draws or not. ”

Fang Mo jumped up excitedly, his eyes were red, and he grabbed the document and shouted, "You actually tortured him!" It's clearly a trick! ”

"What are you doing! It's not your senior brother I ordered to beat! You have the ability, find the adult who will judge the case! Besides, he didn't have any tricks! The clerk pushed Fang Mo away and rolled his eyes and said.

Zhang Yuqing grabbed the excited Fang Mo, and said with a straight face: "You calm down, beating this benevolent brother can't save your senior brother." Beat him up, and you will go to prison to reunite with your senior brother, who will save him? ”

"Hey, don't say I'm so useless to let him fight! If you really fight, it's not certain who will be beaten! The clerk cried out with his hands on his thin waist.

Zhang Yuqing sneered, "We don't talk about who can fight, let's talk about who collects money!" ”

"Collect money? Who, who collects the money?! The clerk suddenly became nervous and shouted with little confidence.

Zhang Yuqing pointed at him, "You." ”

"I, I, I confiscate the money! Who saw me collect money? Who saw it? The clerk shouted vigilantly.

Fang Mo said: "I saw it! That's the money I gave you! ”

Zhang Yuqing spread her hands and looked at the paperwork with a smile, "You have to think of a way to do this, if you don't want to ......"

She and Fang Mo said in unison: "We just sit at the door of the yamen and shout that you don't do anything to collect money!" ”

The clerk jumped three feet high, trembling and pointing at Zhang Yuqing and Fang Mo, unable to say a word for a long time, and finally said: "I am a sin in my last life, and I met you two bad people!" I will collect a total of 300 yuan from you, and I have to bear the charge of taking bribes, and if it spreads, the face of our yamen will be lost by me! ”

Zhang Yuqing was shocked, and turned her head to look at Fang Mo, she didn't expect this guy to be so picky! Could it be that Lu Wei relied on him to refuse to give him monthly money?

Fang Mo's face flushed, and he said ashamedly: "My senior brother owed foreign debts in order to treat his mother's illness, and I just paid the monthly money, so I went to pay off the debt to him, and it was also the creditor who told me that my senior brother had an accident, and I only found out." I only had 300 dollars left! ”

Zhang Yuqing trembled and pointed at Fang Mo, speechless for a while, then turned his head, put on the best smile, and asked kindly, "What do you call an adult?" ”

The clerk took a step back vigilantly and covered his eyes, "I'm just a miscellaneous person, and I can't afford to be an adult for you." ”

"Colago Zhang Yuqing looked down and saw the waist card hanging on the person's body, and his smile was like a flower, "Lord Kou has long seen that there is something wrong with this case, right?" ”

Kou Leguo covered his eyes with his hands and didn't look at Zhang Yuqing, "I don't know what you're talking about!" ”

"What are you doing with your face covered? Weak heart? Zhang Yuqing took a step forward and asked with a smile.

Kole Fruit jumped back, his hands still covering his eyes, "Phew! You're weak-hearted! It's my mother who said, the more beautiful the girl, the more honest the man, if you meet a beautiful girl smiling at me one day, tell me to stay away, don't look at it! ”

Zhang Yuqing squinted at him, "I don't care if you like talking to me like this!" Then again, if you don't want to help their junior brother, as for 300 yuan, let him copy the file? ”

This is bribery, it is clear that people are doing charity!

Fang Mo also came back to his senses at this time, at that time, he was like a headless fly who was crazy, and the people in the yamen were unwilling to deal with him, only this small document collected three hundred yuan from his "filial piety", and let him copy a file and leave when no one was around.

"Thank you, Lord Cole! It's because I have eyes and no beads, and I misunderstood the adults! Fang Mohu said with tears in his eyes and clenched his fists.

Ko Leguo pursed his lips and muttered, "It's all said, I'm not an adult!" ”

Zhang Yuqing asked: "With the experience of adults, is there any way to make the government postpone the execution?" ”

Kou Leguo sighed, leaned against the wall, and said in an old-fashioned manner, "What's the use of postponing the execution? The key point is how to prove the innocence of the suspect! ”

"You can find the post-mortem at the time, as well as the officials at the scene to testify......," Zhang Yuqing said.

Kou Leguo sneered, and his chin gestured to the file in Zhang Yuqing's hand, "You can see that there is a problem, I can see that there is a problem, the prisoners are all beaten to death and still do not admit their guilt, will the presiding judge of the case who has tried the case for so many years not see that there is a problem?" There is also a pretense, after working for so many years, whether the deceased was stabbed in the heart and died, or died for other reasons, he can't tell? ”

Zhang Yuqing was shocked.

"It's someone saying hello!" Kou Leguo shook his head and sighed, "It's all done up and down, even the neighbors have bought it!" Do you want to ask them to testify? Hum! They can only prove that the suspect killed someone! Now that the confession is retracted, it is not clear that they had a problem at the beginning! ”

Fang Mo said desperately: "Is there no way?" Is there really no way around it? ”

Kou Leguo wanted to speak again and again, and finally said: "If you only want your senior brother to be beheaded two days later, it's not impossible to ......"

"Say it quickly!" Fang Mo grabbed Ko Lego's arm and shouted.

Kou Leguo sighed, "It was the officials of Jingzhao Mansion who tried the case, and the people from Dali Temple who were in charge of the beheading, the two yamen. According to the Daxia Law, in order to prevent unjust, false and wrongly decided cases, if the prisoner does not admit guilt and someone shouts for the prisoner on the execution ground, the prison officer must not behead the prisoner, and the case must be remanded for retrial. ”

Hope suddenly burst out in Fang Mo's eyes, and he immediately said, "I'll go and shout injustice!" ”

"What's the panic? Can't you listen to me? Colle rolled her eyes.

Zhang Yuqing shook his head and said, "I'm afraid there will be a price, otherwise how can there be such a good thing?" ”

If someone complains about injustice and is retried, then the condemned prisoner will have to find someone to go to the execution ground to complain about injustice.

"That's right." "Those who cry out for grievances will be taken into custody by the government, and if it cannot be proved that the prisoner has a grievance within three days, the person who shouts grievances will be guillotined with the prisoner!" ”

Wang Chunniang was taken aback and muttered, "This is too ruthless!" ”

Kou Leguo put his hands behind his back and snorted, "The law is the law, how can the court court be child's play?" ”

"Master Kou, what you said is true?" Fang Mo clenched his fists and asked.

Kole Guo flicked his sleeves with a proud expression, "You ask others, he may not know, ask me is the right person you asked!" I have memorized the laws of Daxia like a stream, and the files of Jingzhao Mansion for the past ten years are all in my head! ”

"Your Excellency is so talented, the Great Xia Law has been memorized like a stream, why is it just a clerk?" Zhang Yuqing asked.

Colle pouted, "What's the use of being talented?" My family is surrounded by walls, the poor pocket is cleaner than the face, and no official lady takes a fancy to me, of course it is just a clerk! You think it's easy to be an essay? ”

Fang Mo was silent.

He originally thought that as long as the date of the execution could be postponed until their son-in-law returned to Beijing, he would be able to save his senior brother.

But looking at it now, not only can't I save my senior brother, but I have to put myself in it.

"So I said, what are you doing with all this trouble?" Kou Leguo patted Fang Mo, who was standing there blankly, "Knowing that your senior brother has been wronged, when you go to the grave in the future, burn more paper for him!" Who told him to offend men? ”

Zhang Yuqing asked: "You can see that he has offended people, and someone wants to harm him, so if you help us and give us the file, aren't you afraid of offending people?" Why do you want to help the prisoners? Because you still have a clear conscience, you still want to see fairness and justice, right? ”

"I'm a clerk, just collect money to do things, what kind of fairness and justice! In these years, there is still such a thing as fairness and justice? Colle sneered.

Zhang Yuqing looked at him and said, "Yes, in your heart!" If you don't believe that there is fairness and justice in this world, why let him copy the file, this matter has nothing to do with you, isn't it simple to let the prisoner die in a daze? The family members of the prisoners could not see the file and did not know that there was something strange in it, so they naturally did not make trouble, and when the prisoner died, they cried twice to collect the body, and the matter passed quietly. But you didn't, not only did you show him the dossier, but you also talked nonsense with us for so long! You're always trying to persuade us to leave this nosy thing, why don't you just leave? Even the method of saving people in the law field was taught to us by Master Kou, who memorized the laws of Great Xia! ”

Kou Leguo was speechless by Zhang Yuqing's words.

After a while, Kou Leguo said: "Actually, I know He Qi. ”

"When I was a child, my family lived in Xifang, and all the people living in that place were poor, and He Qi's family was also there. He was tall and strong, with great strength, and he was also a simple and kind man. One year, a house caught fire, and the beams fell down, crushing several people, and it was he who ran in and moved the beams away, saving several lives. People give him money and things to thank him, but he doesn't want to ...... Just a fool! Colle said.

Kou Leguo let out a long sigh, "I thought, such a fool can't die so confused, at least someone must know that he died unjustly!" ”

Fang Mo's tears fell out, and then he wiped away his tears and said, "I'll go to the court tomorrow to shout grievances!" ”

"You're crazy! can't prove that He Qi is wronged, you have to accompany him to die! Why bother? Live well, wouldn't it be good to burn more paper money for your senior brother in the future? I'll show you the file, but I didn't let you die in vain! Kole scolded angrily.

Fang Mo shook his head, "I have to go, I can't watch my senior brother being wrongfully beheaded!" Even if I can't prove anything, I'll accompany my brother on the road, anyway, I'm just a beggar without a father and a mother, and if I die, I'll die! If I don't go, even if I survive, I'll spend the rest of my life regretting every day. ”

Zhang Yuqing looked at Fang Mo with a desperate face, as if something was deeply touched in her heart, the hand in her sleeve was held and released, and finally said, "What if I have a way to prove that the prisoner was wronged?" ”
