Da Kui smiled slightly and said, "How can this official listen to your words?" Luo Dahai defended: "At that time, we were surrounded in the crowd, and Li Defu was standing outside the crowd, how could the villain cross the crowd and kill people?" Da Kui was puzzled: "Why don't you sue if you have grievances?" Luo Dahai turned his head to look at Pang Zhidong and said: "In this Jiahe County Ya, I was beaten into a trick, and since I was put in prison, no one was allowed to visit. After that, he couldn't stop crying and kowtowed.

When Pang Zhidong heard this, he got up again and hugged his fists and said, "My lord, don't..." Before he finished speaking, Da Kui jumped up and slapped the startled wood: "Are you farting when you are the official? If you don't give you a little power, you won't know how many eyes Ma Wang Ye has." Then he shouted: "Come on, pull this Pang Zhidong down and hit the forty boards." ”

Master Feng, who was behind Da Kui, hurriedly pulled Da Kui's sleeve and said in a low voice: "Lord Zhang, Pang Zhidong is an official of the imperial court, and if there is no big mistake, he cannot be moved." Da Kui said angrily when he heard this: "So spare you this time, sit back and don't speak." Pang Zhidong hurriedly sat back again.

Da Kui extinguished the fire and asked Luo Dahai again: "You have no basis for what you say, but there is evidence?" Luo Dahai said: "At that time, there were many onlookers, and they were helpless to testify for the villain. ”

Da Kui lowered his head and pondered for a moment and said, "You step back and take the plaintiff with you." ”

Luo Dahai was taken down by the soldiers, and a young woman walked into the hall after a while. The young woman was dressed in Ayara, but she also looked a little beautiful, and the young woman knelt down in front of the hall, crying like tears before she could speak.

Da Kui shook his head and asked, "Don't be sad first, you need to recruit from the truth when the official asks you." The woman said sadly: "The women dare not speak falsely, please make the decision for me." After saying that, Da Kui slapped the shocked wood and shouted angrily: "Don't cry!" The woman immediately held back her crying.

Da Kuela asked in a long voice, "What is your name, where do you live, and what is your relationship with the deceased?" The woman said timidly: "Li Xiang'er, a folk woman, is the sister of the deceased Li Defu, and her family lives in the east of the city of Jiahe County. Da Kui asked again, "How many people are in the family?"

Li Xiang'er sobbed softly: "Only my brother and I depend on each other. Da Kui was stunned when he heard this, and then asked, "What does your brother do?" Li Xiang'er said: "My brother is in the medicinal herb business." Da Kui said coldly: "Why do you rob the people who do business?"

Li Xiang'er hurriedly defended: "That week, the old man was sick for two years, and he owed my family a lot of money for soup and medicine but was unable to repay it, and my younger brother could only arrest his daughter to pay off the debt. Da Kui was just about to have a seizure, but behind him, Master Feng came to pull his sleeve again and said: "There is a law for the repayment of father's debts and sons, so don't be angry." ”

Da Kui forced his anger and asked Li Xiang'er: "Were you present when your brother was fighting with someone?" Li Xiang'er said: "Yes, at that time, my brother caught that girl and happened to be in front of the house, I heard the noise outside, so I went out to check.... ”

Da Kui said loudly: "Take Zhou Laohan and his daughter." Outside the door, Yang Sheng shouted: "Take Zhou Laohan's family." ”

After a while, Zhou Laohan and his daughter came outside the hall again, and the two knelt on Li Xiang'er's side in front of the hall. Xu was afraid of things, and the girl was just leaning on the old man's arms.

Da Kui said: "Old man Zhou is old, so don't kneel." Zhou Laohan stood up tremblingly when he heard this, and Da Kui asked Zhou Laohan's family: "When Li Defu died, you two were also at the scene?" The old man and the girl nodded, and Da Kui asked again: "You can tell me more about the scene at that time." ”

The old man and the girl glanced at each other, and the old man said, "They arrested my daughter, and I will chase after me." At this time, a team of carriages and horses came, and it was a dart game. There is a dart master who is uneven and pulls the theory of Li Shopkeeper.... Da Kui interrupted the old man's words and asked, "Shopkeeper Li is Li Defu?" The old man nodded and said: "Exactly, at that time, Shopkeeper Li brought more than a dozen people, and when he saw the dart master meddling his business, he asked someone to beat the dart master." Speaking of this, he turned his head and looked at Pang Zhidong who was sitting on the side.

Da Kui shouted: "You are spitting when the official asks, and you don't see others just telling the truth." Zhou Laohan nodded and continued: "More than ten people surrounded the dart master, and the dart master's companions came over to help when they saw it. Who knew that the later people pushed to a shopkeeper Li's family, and the family bumped into the shopkeeper Li, and the shopkeeper Li was knocked down, and his head hit the stone and died. ”

When Da Kui heard this, he asked: "You said these things the same last time?" Zhou Laohan was stunned and said: "This is the first time that the old man has passed the hall, and this is the first time he has said these words." Da Kui asked Pang Zhidong on the side in surprise: "Pang Zhixian, why don't you take such an important witness?"

Pang Zhidong stood up and said, "There are many people who testify, so they are not used. Da Kui sneered and asked, "Where is the main book?"

The main bookkeeper stood up and came to the front of the hall from the side of the clerk standing behind the official standing on the left, and Da Kui asked: "As the chief bookkeeper of the county government, you should truthfully record the trial process." And bring me the plaintiff's pleadings at that time, and I will see the court trial record. The chief bookkeeper said: "The villain only has the confession of the criminal here, and nothing else." Da Kui waved his hand and said, "You cut back and continue to record." The master bowed and retreated.

Pang Zhidong originally wanted to end the case by beheading Luo Dahai at noon tomorrow to show the public, but he thought that as soon as the political envoy arrived in Jiahe County, he would take control of the prison and try the case overnight, so it was too late to remedy it.

Da Kui was secretly happy to see the flaws, stood up and asked, "The woman Li Xiang'er is the official and asks you, what is the relationship between you and Pang Zhidong?" Li Xiang'er looked at Pang Zhidong and said, "We... We.... ”

Pang Zhidong preemptively said: "My lord, we don't know each other. Da Kui sneered and said, "Come on, bring the housekeeper of the Li Mansion." ”

The housekeeper of the Li Mansion had already been taken outside the hall, and he trembled and went up to the lobby when he heard the words. Da Kui waited for him to arrive in front of the hall and asked aloud: "Let me ask you, what is the relationship between Pang County's order and this Li Xiang'er." If you have half a lie, the ruler will not spare you. The housekeeper said truthfully: "Pang County's order and my heroine are on good terms." After saying this, the butler lowered his head and wanted to stuff his head into the crotch of his pants.

Da Kui asked Pang Zhidong and Li Xiang'er with a yin smile: "Since you are good friends, why didn't you say it earlier?" Pang Zhidong argued to himself: "Who am I good with seems to be far from this case, don't want to be adults..." "Shut up. Da Kui snorted, and then asked: "Since you have admitted that the official asked you, can you and this Li Xiang'er have the words of the matchmaker of your parents? Bring the people involved in the case to the court. Let's see how the judge decides the case. ”

After a short time, Luo Dahai and another dart master surnamed He and other cadres were all brought to the lobby.

Da Kui slapped the shocked wood and raised his voice: "The case of Luo Dahai's murder in Jiahe County has now come to light, and this official pronounced the verdict: Luo Dahai's murder is purely false, but Luo Dahai and the dart master surnamed He fought with more than ten domestic slaves of the deceased and Li Defu died of unconclusive evidence, and the two are now sentenced to 20 spines, and then transferred to Longping Mansion for detention and sentenced to one year. ”

After a pause, he raised his voice again: "Jiahe County ordered Pang Zhidong, as an official of the imperial court, not to know the inspection points, to have an affair with Li Xiang'er, and to bend the law for personal gain to create an unjust prison. Pang Zhidong was unable to discipline the law and violated the law, and what he did violated the norm. This official announced the verdict: Pang Zhidongge was sent to death row after his official post, and he was beheaded outside the east gate of Jiahe County at noon tomorrow. Li Xiang'er did not abide by women's morals and hooked up with the powerful, and has now committed adultery. He was sentenced to one sentence (15 minutes) and was subsequently taken into custody for three years. ”

Da Kui breathed a long sigh of relief and said: "The deceased Li Defu was buried by the Li family themselves, and the two silver expenses were borne by Zhou Laohan's family, so far the silver owed by Zhou Laohan was written off. ”

Pang Zhidong heard this and asked: "I don't accept that you have privately beheaded the officials of the imperial court." Da Kui picked up the Longquan sword on the copywriting and said: "This official is ordered by King Wu to inspect all places, and this sword is given by King Wu." Beheading traitors and beheading the people, how can you not be killed? Come on, take it!"
