"My lord, my lord, spare my life! I did this by taking money from others! Zhang shouted loudly.

"Oh? If you are willing to confess that person, the official may be able to spare your life! Liu Xinnan asked, "Tell me quickly, who is it?" ”

Zhang looked back and pointed out of the court: "Yes...... Wang Yanei instructed me to do this! He said that when the new official took office, he wanted to give her some color to see, so he spent three hundred taels of silver to let the women steal the child! The three hundred taels of silver were under the people's women's pillows, and they were not spent...... Lord Qingtian, the people's woman is obsessed with wealth for a while to do such a thing that loses her conscience, you are extrajudicially gracious! ”

Wang Zhipeng?

Predictable!

Wang Zhipeng, who was still shouting in the crowd before, where can he still see him now? The smoke ran away early and disappeared.

"This hateful Wang Zhipeng! It is a heinous sin to instigate others to steal children! Someone's coming! Liu Xinnan immediately issued an order: "Arrest Wang Zhipeng immediately!" ”

"No, no, Lord Liu." Master Ma hurriedly stood up to dissuade him, "Wang Yanei has a great business in Ningguofu, half of the people in Ningguofu rely on his family to make a living, even the previous repairs of our yamen were borrowed from the Wang family, a whole ten thousand taels of silver, if the adults arrest him, let's not think about peace in the future!" ”

Liu Xinnan gritted his teeth, "It's lawless!" ”

Master Ma said: "Yes, who doesn't know, the fourth generation of the Wang family passed through the Ningguo Mansion, and Jiangnan and West belonged to him the largest, Lord Liu has just taken office, so don't provoke well, as for this poisonous woman, she should be sentenced to be sentenced, and she should be killed, and she should ......be killed."

Liu Xinnan was undecided for a while, and turned his head to look at Song Che: "Brother Song, what do you say?" ”

Song Che said softly: "Brother Song is not a prefect, how can he make a decision for Lord Liu." ”

"That'...... Brother Jiang? Liu Xinnan turned his gaze to Jiang Yuntian again.

Jiang Yuntian hugged his arms and said coldly: "In my opinion, you should resign as soon as possible, so as to save yourself from being angry in the future." ”

Liu Xinnan hesitated for a moment, his eyes were certain, and he was shocked: "Someone!" Go and take Wang Zhipeng to court! Then go to the prisoner's house to search for the stolen money! ”

Officials, you look at me, I look at you, and fall into a state of indifference.

"If you don't obey the order again, you will be sentenced to the crime of blasphemy, just like Chen You, and you will be sentenced to thirty years!" Liu Xinnan said angrily.

Only then did the officials obey the order, put on shackles and shackles, and followed Jiang Yuntian to Wang's house to arrest people.

"My lord, no, no......" Master Ma persuaded again and again.

Liu Xinnan said angrily: "The new official has three fires, he dares to do anything wrong, why should this official be!" Master Ma, this official advises you to keep to yourself, if you dare to be alarmist again, I will cut you first! ”

How did this master know that this seemingly weak new prefect had such courage that he didn't dare to open his mouth again.

As soon as they heard that the prefect was going to interrogate Wang Yanei, the common people who rushed to hear the news surrounded the yamen.

Half an hour later

"Get out of the way!"

"Give way to our son-in-law!"

A group of domestic servants pushed through the crowd, and Wang Zhipeng strode into the public hall with his toes high.

"Lord Liu, I was having lunch at home, and you sent someone to summon me, what is the matter?"

"Wang Zhipeng, the criminal wife Zhang has pleaded guilty to the law, and confessed to you for bribing her to steal the child, what crime should you be guilty of!" Liu Xinnan asked loudly.

Wang Zhipeng plucked his ears, "What?" Did I hear me right? He glanced coldly at Zhang, who was kneeling beside him, "I don't know what kind of grudge this woman has against me, and she actually poured dirty water on me in the hall," he looked at Liu Xinnan fearlessly:

"Lord Liu, you have to pay attention to evidence in everything, just based on the mouth of others, you can determine that I am the same accomplice, no one is convinced by such a verdict."

"Wang Gongzi, you have to speak with your conscience! Last night, it was clear that you called me to the palace and asked me to steal Liu's children and make things difficult for Lord Liu, why don't you admit it now? Zhang pounced, hugged Wang Zhipeng's leg and cried.

"Slut! You don't want to spew blood! My son doesn't know you, how can he be in cahoots with you? ”

Wang Zhipeng kicked Zhang away, and then complained to Liu Xinnan: "Lord Liu, in my opinion, it is clear that this criminal woman is afraid of death, so she borrowed my name to atone for his sin, and her heart can be punished, and she should be beheaded!" ”

"Oh my God, I shouldn't have done anything bad for you if I knew you were such a brute!" Zhang's beat his chest and slapped the ground, whining and mourning!

"Wang Zhipeng, because you are still a scholar, you instigated others to steal children...... Do you still have any humanity! ”

"Hey, big guy, look at it, this is today's Dengke Tanhualang, who insults others in court, it's just corrupt and low-level!"

Wang Zhipeng borrowed the topic to play, followed his doglegs, followed Ying He sighed.

"Wang Zhipeng, you-"

"Liu Xinnan!"

Wang Zhipeng said coldly and threatened: "Be a man and leave a line, and see each other in the future, as an official of the imperial court, since you have entered the office, you should unite with us, the local gentry, to govern the Ningguo Mansion, and now you are thinking about making a big move before your ass is hot...... Official, it's not like you! ”

"What do you mean by this, Lord Liu's position should be up to you?" Song Che, who had not spoken for a long time on the side, asked coldly.

Wang Zhipeng looked at Song Che in a blink of an eye, and immediately glared at him with hatred: "I recognize you!" ”

"It's a shame to be recognized by you."

Song Che was disdainful and asked Xiang Zhang: "You said earlier that he promised you three hundred taels of silver, but it was three hundred taels?" ”

Zhang nodded and said, "Fifty taels of brand-new big ingots, there are a total of six ingots!" ”

At this time, the official who went to Zhang's house to search for stolen silver also returned to the court.

Song Che took the silver ingot, first checked it in his hand, then looked at the light, and finally flipped the silver ingot over in turn, and saw that the bottom was engraved with the four big characters "Jiangxi Silver Bureau".

Wang Zhipeng's face changed greatly.

"Wang Yanei, it's really unfortunate, Song is the one who opened the bank, so he knows a lot about silver casting, this 'Jiangxi Silver Bureau' is an official silver ingot, right?"

The purity, color, and use of official silver are very different from private silver, and official silver is only used for the treasury and can never be circulated in the world, and even if it is obtained through illegal channels, it must be smelted or cut into shredded silver;

If the official bank is used for private purposes, the sentence will be ten years in prison, and the head of the person will be heavily responsible.

This kind of thing is official silver, not to mention ordinary people, even people like Song Che can't touch it. The only one who has the opportunity to embezzle it can only be the official.

"Someone! Detain Wang Zhipeng! ”

"Yes!"

"Who dares to touch me!"

Wang Zhipeng glared at the servants angrily, "In the past, when my father was the prefect, which of you poor people did not receive the benefits of my son?" If this son is guilty, you are all guilty! ”

The officials should not dare to move again.

Wang Zhipeng said: "What's wrong with using official silver? Since my grandfather's generation, he has been an official of the Liang Dynasty, and my grandfather has even served as a squire in the household department. ”

He simply admitted, "Yes, I hired the Zhang family to steal the child, the purpose is just to test your ability to judge the case of the new prefect, besides, isn't the child returned to its original owner?" It didn't cause any losses, so it's a big deal that I compensated her for some money, and it was a fart and it was over! ”
