On this day, the sun was shining and the sky was like a wash.

Zhu Decai rode a red-maned horse from Lidong, crossed the Fengmen Pass, galloped like a whirlwind, rolled up the dust and smoke on the road, and the fast horse pointed straight to the county seat.

Along the way, the Xinjiang River is murmuring, the shore is peach and willow green, and there are colorful Gesang flowers blooming in the distance, and warblers are singing and dancing everywhere.

Zhu Decai had no intention of stopping to enjoy the beautiful scenery, because today he had a special task: the county government on Enping's side sent the official letter sealed with vinyl paint with a fast horse, and asked them to transfer it to the county official of the Xinzhou county government as soon as possible.

Official documents, transmitted in the form of relays, have a significant meaning. From Enping County to Xinzhou County, we have to pass through a large hillside, and when we come to Lidong Township at the junction of the two counties, we are already tired. If you go to the county seat of Xinzhou, you will have to pass through the steep slope of more than 20 miles, and those horses are really unbearable. Therefore, some of the documents from Enping were handed over to Lidong Township for transfer, and the township chief of Lidong Township designated Su Huaicheng's family, who was serious and honest, to transmit them on behalf of Kuaima.

Zhu Decai put the sealed lacquered express into his arms and tied it with a belt to prevent it from being lost on the way.

After galloping for an hour, Zhu Decai rode into the county seat, crossed the granite slate paved streets, and turned several big bends before coming to the county government yamen in the center of the county.

Zhu Decai Fei got off the horse, tied the red-maned horse to the tethered horse stake outside the yamen, and didn't even have time to breathe, and walked quickly towards the gate.

He explained his intention to the yacha guarding the door, and wanted to present the official letter of the Enping County Ya to the county lord.

The yacha told him: "The magistrate is trying the case in the court, you can go there, but don't disturb it during the trial." ”

Zhu Decai replied and walked up the steps quickly, stepped over the high stone threshold, and walked straight towards the court.

There was a crowd of black people in the public hall, and Zhu Decai slowly squeezed up from the crowd of onlookers.

On both sides of the public hall, stood those "red-headed and black-footed" soap class officials. They stood solemnly with water and fire sticks in their hands, all of them with angry eyebrows and majestic appearances.

The trial is entering a critical stage.

A middle-aged woman knelt on the ground with a flail and locks, her hair disheveled, and a sad face.

Many onlookers were whispering in their ears.

Zhu Decai listened and knew that most of the people thought that this woman was wronged.

The old man of the county is over half a hundred years old, and he is sitting on the chair of the Taishi in the middle of the public hall, listening to what the master in front of him is saying.

Dressed in a gray robe, he stood upright, with a lotus tongue and a strong conversation. When it comes to excitement, his hands are compared to draw. It could be heard that he was defending the innocence of the kneeling woman.

At this time, the direction in which the master was standing was facing the county magistrate, with his back to Zhu Decai. Therefore, Zhu Decai can't see the true face of Lushan clearly. But listen, listen, admire from the bottom of my heart: this master's eloquence is really amazing, I don't know where he is sacred?

The county magistrate listened to the master's gushing arguments, while holding his beard and nodding his head.

After the master finished speaking, the county magistrate opened his mouth and agreed: "This official has long thought that this case is full of suspicions, and today you have laid out a variety of evidence that this woman will not kill her husband, and the analysis is reasonable, okay!" The ruler will do as you say. So, he slammed the shocked wood on the desk and made a verdict: "The Lin family is not guilty of murdering her husband, and the official ordered her to be released on the spot and let her return to her home." ”

The official immediately stepped forward to untie the shackles of the kneeling woman and released her on the spot.

"Quit!" After the county magistrate announced, he flicked the sleeves of his robe to the side and left his seat and retreated.

Zhu Decai caught up and handed over the express: "Master, this is the sealing paint express transferred from Enping County." ”

After receiving the express mail, the county magistrate retired to the inner hall.

When the people who heard the trial in the court saw that the middle-aged woman was acquitted, they talked about it:

"Ahem, I said a long time ago that this was an unjust, false and wrongful case."

"This woman has almost been wronged."

"Master Zhigu has judged the case correctly this time."

"I think it's all thanks to this master's in-depth investigation and research and finding evidence for the woman."

After being untied, she wiped away two lines of tears from her cheeks, and after standing up, she knelt down to the master with a "plop" sound, knocked her head three times in succession, and then said sincerely: "The grace of saving life is higher than the sky." Let the women of the people remember it for a lifetime!"

The master said to the women with emotion: "Your husband was unfortunately killed, which is really a catastrophe in life. You fell into an unjust case for no reason, your reputation was ruined, and you were pushed into the sea of misery for the rest of your life. I just went to the scene of the crime to conduct an in-depth investigation, and after finding out the true situation, I just made a factual statement in court today, and I don't need to thank you. ”

The lawsuit was won, and the people gradually dispersed, and the division turned around.

Zhu Decai saw at a glance that this person was about the same age as himself, in the prime of his youth, tall and thin, with fair skin, a slightly square face, a crisp nose, and a resolute spirit. The eyes under the sword eyebrows are not big, but they shine with a blazing divine light, full of wisdom, and have the bearing of a jade tree in the wind.

"Ah, this man's face is a little familiar, who is he?" Zhu Decai was pinching his chin in contemplation.

But the master came to him first and cried out, "You're blessed with wealth, aren't you?"

"Yes, I'm Zhu Decai." The other party obviously recognized himself first, and then Zhu Decai responded to the voice, looked at the master, looked at it, but couldn't recognize it for a while, "You are?" ”

Seeing Zhu Decai's expression, the master first reported his name: "I'm Su Yiwen!"

"Ah, Su Yiwen?!" After the other party said this, Zhu Decai immediately remembered, "It's true, you are that Su Yiwen in Shacun!"

"I haven't seen you for many years, and I didn't expect to see you in court today." Su Yiwen enthusiastically stretched out his hands and shook hands with Zhu Decai tightly.

"Brother Wen, you are getting more and more promising," Zhu Decai said with a smile, "You turned your back to me just now, I really didn't recognize you for a while." Humanity is 'eighteen changes in women's colleges', in fact, men's universities are also eighteen changes! ”

Su Yiwen patted Zhu Decai's shoulder with his hand and said, "Zhu Decai, you have also become much stronger." ”

Zhu Decai gave a thumbs up and praised: "Brother Wen, I saw that you fought this lawsuit in the public court, you were not in a hurry, and your arguments were impassioned, eloquent, and impeccable. It really made the little brother admire. ”

"I am ashamed that you praise me so much. I'm just doing my homework. Su Yiwen thought for a while, raised his finger and pointed outside, "We haven't seen each other for many years, there is a Junzhou teahouse at the corner of the street over there, let's talk about it there, what do you think, brother?"
