Chapter Twenty-Six: Difficult to be a county magistrate
Chapter Twenty-Six: Twists and Turns
After a two-day delay, the envoy finally returned the evidence from the concubine's house and restarted the trial
However, the evidence presented in the court was not a complete account book, but some scattered notes and a batch of unregistered property beads. The Seven Hearts of the Sun is also among them, and it has been packed in a beautiful agarwood box.
When Sun Xianling saw the string of gemstone bracelets at first glance, his mouth couldn't close in shock, and he held Qixinyao up with a trembling heart, "Concubine, what kind of treasure is this?"
Fei Chao's face was a little ugly, and he forced a smile, "This is ...... Seven...... Seven ......"
Yan took a step forward, pointed to the Seven Hearts Yao Ri and said, "This is the treasure of my family that was detained by Fu Ruixiang."
The concubine said nonsense without changing his face, "This is the Seven Star Stone, the ancestral treasures of our mansion, how can these private items be presented to the hall?"
Sun Xianling was also quite embarrassed, "That...... Then Liu Senjun said that these objects in the Gongzi's mansion are quite strange, and they should be clarified in the hall. The county is also helpless......"
The concubine snorted contemptuously, "A little ginseng general is very wide. ”
Sun Xian Ling accompanied the smiling face, "General Qi's mansion is under the county, and you must always take care of people's faces and take care of them." ”
Yan Leng watched them whisper and raised his voice, "What is presented in the hall today, don't talk about anything else, how did my bracelet fall into your hands, please ask the concubine to corroborate it in detail." ”
Fei Chao sneered coldly, "This string of seven-star stones is the ancestral heirloom of this son, I don't know where you wild boy got the news, so dare to blackmail." ”
Yan raised his eyebrows and sneered, "Concubine, do I remember the last time you clearly didn't recognize this treasure in the house, why, if you were searched, you had to retract your confession?"
Fei Chao said proudly, "My concubine clan is a big clan in Dongyuzhou, and there are countless treasures passed down from generation to generation, and there is nothing strange about occasionally missing it. ”
"In this way, there are more precious and exquisite objects like this gem bracelet in the concubine's mansion, so that you can occasionally remember the mistakes!"
This hit the nail on the head, and the nest's eyes turned sharply to make up a statement.
Sun Xian Ling coughed, "Such a heavy treasure will not be easily announced for this county, and the concubine will not say it, but he is also afraid of attracting Xiao Xiao to covet it, such reasons can be forgiven." ”
Yan's anger quietly rose, and he smiled angrily, "It seems that the county commander is a roundworm in the belly of the concubine, and the concubine doesn't need to speak, the adult can investigate the reason in detail." Your Excellency!"
Sun County ordered the file to cover his face and hide his embarrassment, "Ding Yan, how dare you disagree with this county's reasoning, this county asks you, such a heavy treasure as the Seven Star Stone is rare and rare in the Great Family, you ...... How can it be?"
Sun Xianling was eager to exonerate Fu Ruixiang and transferred all the Mao Dun points to Ding Yan.
Yan was not so stupid, and pushed it away, "Lord County Commander, the origin of this gem bracelet is not explained clearly, why, don't you ask?"
"Tsk," Sun Xianling said impatiently, "He said that this is an ancestral heirloom, you ...... What more do you ask?"
Yan raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Ancestral ...... What kind of generation? Lord County Commander, you are looking for someone to verify the antiquities of which year, and you can't say what it is!"
Seeing that he was clinging to Bai Ji, Fei Chao said angrily, "You country boy, this son still has to explain it to you...... What kind of family do you have, a poor boy, who is worthy of competing with me for the Seven Star Gem?"
Yan took out a blood-red coral bead and handed it over: "I expected you to say this, and look at the value of this coral bead?"
Although Sun Xianling didn't understand the market, he saw that the coral beads were bright and dazzling, and he also knew that it was a lot of money, "Concubine, look at this?"
Fei Chao glanced at it, "The condition is good, it is worth two hundred taels of silver." Although it is rare, Fu Ruixiang can also take out ten strings and eight strings. ”
Yan smiled nonchalantly, and took out another piece of okra topaz the size of a pigeon's egg, "And how much is this worth?"
The concubine's expression changed, and a cloth cloth took out such a precious gem casually, it was really very, "Where did you get these jewels?"
Although Dongyu is rich, aren't ordinary people only able to find food and clothing?
Yan had a provocation in his eyes, "Concubine, don't underestimate people, there are a few people in Fuhai Town who don't know that my Ding Yan's kung fu is good at high water, and the treasures of Tianhua and Earth are picked up freely, and I can't look down on the pearls and jade stones inlaid with these jewelry of Fu Ruixiang!"
Fei Chao snorted, his face became gloomy again, and he ignored him, and said to the county official, "My lord, this Ding Yan is talking about the river and the mountains and beating drums, he looted Fu Ruixiang, and randomly picked out a few pieces of jewelry from them to make a statement, which is really hateful." ”
Sun County Ling waved his hand: "The concubine is reasonable......
Yan said slowly, "Is that reasonable? Your Fu Ruixiang's gold, silver and jewelry, don't all have accounts to check, just take it out!"
Sun Xianling coughed a few times, "Ding Yan, the case that this official is trying now is robbery and injury to people, if you admit your guilt, this official will continue to try others." ”
Yan sneered, "The merits of this case are the whole, why does Lord Sun want to divide it into chapters? ”
Sun Xianling said angrily, "Ding Yan, you have repeatedly despised this county, and you have nothing to do with the law, if it weren't for Counselor Liu's face, this county would have beaten you with twenty boards." ”
Yan didn't care, "Lord Sun is in charge of fighting, but after the fight, I still have to ask the Lord if he intends to shield Fu Ruixiang, otherwise he will leave that pile of property of unknown origin and suspicious points alone, but he hurriedly wants to smelt my sin, Lord Sun, people's hearts are like mirrors, is this how you deserve to be the parent official of Yuejiang?"
Sun Xian Ling was robbed by him, and when he saw the fluttering little eyes in the whispers of the people listening to the hall, he was really embarrassed, and he really hated Ding Yan in his heart.
"So, what kind of proof do you say that these jewels are of unknown origin, so red and white?"
Ding Yan smiled and said, "This is strange, am I a defendant or a plaintiff? Why do adults ask me for evidence in handling cases, do you dare to try the concubine and son, is it possible that such a case needs to be tried by the Zhou government?"
Sun Xian Ling was forced to have his eyes red and his muscles jumping, but he was in the way of General Qi's mansion and didn't dare to move Ding Yan lightly, "How does this county interrogate its own county, I ask you to answer, I don't understand." ”
"Xiaomin is only afraid that adults will be biased and unfair, and they will protect the law for adults. If the adults can treat everyone equally, the small people will not say much. ”
Fei Chao's eyes rolled and said, "Ding Yan, you just want to know the age of this gem bracelet, my son doesn't know it, you need to ask the elders of the clan." “
Ding Yan sneered, "Even if it is an ancestral heirloom and needs to be known by the elders of the clan, it seems that this bracelet will not have a century-old origin in the concubine clan!"
The nest snorted, "Naturally. ”
Ding Yan turned to Sun Xian Ling and said, "My lord, Xiaomin's gem bracelet is new, and they are all my treasures from the mountains, rivers and seas. ”
The nest's eyes flickered, "New!"
Ding Yan said frankly, "Adults can pass on the jade craftsmen who crossed the river to verify." He glanced at the crowd outside the ya, and saw a thin old man enter the ya, greeted the county lord and said, "Xiaomin is Xiao Pu, an old craftsman in the Jinshi Ji of the Yuejiang River, and he is willing to check and dialectic." ”
"Old Xiao Tou" Sun Xian Ling handed over a look, and said, "You have to be careful, this is a treasure of the great family." ”
The old craftsman respectfully took the gemstone bracelet and carefully identified and touched it.
Seeing that the old craftsman was looking carefully, he beat the side drum stupidly, "All the treasures in this world come from the mountains, seas and rivers, and after tens of millions of years of gestation, there can be a difference between the old and the new?"
The old craftsman sighed and said, "Lord Hui, this treasure carving technique is peculiar, even if everyone in the past generations has a masterpiece, its method is not as good as its kitsch, look at this carved pattern is as thin as a gossamer looming, it is simply a miracle skill, if it is said to be an ancient piece, this fine bead luster is new, without the slightest color, but if it is a new thing, in the world, I don't know who is this god hand." ”
"So you can't tell?"
The old craftsman shook his head again and again, "Xiaomin thinks...... This thing...... It is not owned by any ordinary person. ”
"Nonsense...... This is clear" The county commander wanted to reprimand this old craftsman, turned his head to look at the concubine nest and said, "Concubine, this old Xiao Tou is shallow, and he doesn't know the methods of the famous craftsmen in the house. ”
Fei Chao groaned slightly, squinted and smiled, "Then please ask Lord Sun to forgive me for a few more days, and wait for Fei Chao to know the source of the details and then reply." ”
This Sun County ordered to cover the concubine's nest, and the court trial had to be postponed for a few more days.
Yan complained impatiently in the inn, "Isn't it okay for this concubine's nest to be honest and sinful, and give birth to some branches to grind people." ”
Sitting quietly in the room with a faint and tired mind, sensing Yan's restlessness and eagerness.
The clan of the Great World Clan has deep roots, and it is not easy to want to confess their guilt.
Fortunately, Yan is not a brave boy who doesn't know the world, and he is finally shrewd and does not fall into the other party's net.
"The Yan clan is widely spread in Dongyuzhou, Yan, the affairs of the world are intertwined, if your world is only in Longbo, how can it be divided?"
"Hehe, the mountains and rivers are divided, and later afterwards, now I just need to force the concubine to confess and surrender the law, and hand over the seven hearts and suns. ”
The corners of his lips swept up and he was slightly cold, "The law of heaven is not enough, not to mention the law of the world, for the world, often the truth is not important, as long as the explanation that can fit their consciousness is the truth." ”
Yan was slightly stunned.
"Yan, Wang Fa is powerful, the power is in the hearts of the people, all the general's mansion is owned by the concubine's mansion, the concubine mansion may not be nothing, the opportunity must not be lost, and it will not come again. ”
"You...... Got it all?"
There was silence
Jing's eyes closed lightly and asked lightly, "Yan, how big is the world you want?"
Yan was stunned, still thinking about the meaning of the words.
Suddenly, I heard the sound of footsteps outside the porch, and a man said loudly, "Is Brother Xiaoding here?"
"Hey, it's Brother Liu!" Yan was surprised and gladly answered the door.
"Counselor Liu, come in and sit!"
"Hehe, Brother Xiaoding, it's boring to sit down, how about getting drunk with Brother Yu to Wangjiang Tower?"
Yan turned his head to inquire about the meaning of the net, but saw that there was no one on the seat of the chair.
