Li Zhutou listened to the persuasion of the people around him, looked at Qing Yusheng and the others, and felt that if there was a real fight, I was afraid that they would be the ones who would suffer, and they would be relented after all; explained the ins and outs of the matter, and then arched his hand and said: "Young Master Nangong, I don't know what your identity is, those of us who are subordinates, we have to do it when we receive the order, don't embarrass us, just go through the motions at the yamen and explain the matter clearly, I believe that justice is in the hearts of the people, and we adults will not embarrass you." ”

The whole world is not the king's land, if the lawsuit concerning human life is not clarified, I am afraid that it will cause disaster to the family; and this head catcher will talk about this, he has no reason to arrest, Nangong Bo said: "Big brother, since this brother has talked about this, we don't want to embarrass them, it's not easy, I'll go with them." ”

Dazhou Mansion Office, kneeling on the ground with a ragged old man, crying and shouting: "My lord, you have to be the master of the grass people, my senior third is such a girl, can't you just let people spoil it in vain..."

There was also a corpse covered with a white cloth lying next to Gao Laosan, he kept kowtowing to the Lord Zhizhou in the hall, crying heartbreakingly, that scene was really sad for the hearer, and he was crying when he saw it!

The fat Zhizhou in the hall swore and said: "Don't worry, if you are an official and not for the people, even if you are literate, it will be in vain." As long as what you say is true, this official will definitely give you and your daughter justice. But he felt very uncomfortable in his heart, and scolded in his heart: "This Qiu Laosi can't do anything well, and he has a life lawsuit, if this matter goes well, it's fine, if it is exposed, don't blame the official for losing the car and protecting the handsome." ”

At the same time, a group of people who were watching the excitement had already gathered outside the yamen, and a middle-aged woman said sympathetically: "Alas, this senior third child is too pitiful, the father and daughter have depended on each other for a lifetime, and I wanted to find a son-in-law to let the old man die, but I never wanted to... , alas, it's really a hard life!"

Another woman with melon seeds also said sympathetically: "Isn't it, I've been poor all my life, and I haven't enjoyed the blessings of the second half of my life, and my daughter is gone, and I don't know which one killed a thousand knives and did this lack of virtue by cutting off children and grandchildren." ”

Another woman said vigilantly: "Shhh, be quiet, you are not afraid of being heard, people will lift your quilt at night?"

The woman smiled lewdly and said, "I hope he can lift my quilt so that my wife can be happy, and I hope that the dead ghost at home will not die lonely." ”

The woman who spoke first said, "Beware of letting your dead ghost hear, there is no good fruit for you to eat." ”

The woman raised her voice and said arrogantly: "He dare?" is a coquettish and fierce woman, who seems to be a long-awaited and lonely woman;

When a few people heard her words, they laughed, and they had long lost their sympathy for Gao Laosan; they were all small people in the market, just caring about their own happiness, how could they have time to meddle with other people's affairs, it was nothing more than encountering, commenting on two sentences, and forget it.

While everyone was talking, the officials who went to arrest Nangong Bo also came back, escorting Nangong Bo straight to the court;

Another interjected: "Who says it's not? I am blind to my good skin, and if I were with me, I would not have gotten into this lawsuit." ”

Another person said sourly: "Don't be coquettish, the daughter of the third child of the family looks like a flower, you old arms and legs, can people look at it?"

I only heard the sound of a wooden case in the court, and the people who came to see the excitement closed their mouths one after another, for fear of being punished for disturbing the court.

Nangong Bo thought that this matter was really as simple as going through the motions, but when he saw the person sitting in the court, he was completely stunned, isn't this the fat Zhizhou he beat on the tea shed a few days ago?

I saw that this fat Zhizhou didn't know him at all, and he didn't know if it was real or fake; he picked up the wood and patted the case, and said, "Who is standing in the hall, why don't you kneel when you see this official?"

Although Nangong Bo was very surprised to see this fat Zhizhou, this "snap" thought also brought Nangong Bo back to his senses; Nangong Bo bowed, and said without humility or arrogance: "My lord, I have only heard of kneeling to the sky and kneeling to the parents and kneeling to the gods, and I have never heard of other kneeling rituals in the Great Song Dynasty, even if it is between monarchs and ministers, they also stand and salute, and I have not heard of kneeling." ”

Fat Zhizhou didn't expect this sturdy and reckless teenager to have such insight, if it was an ordinary person, he wouldn't be scared to pee his pants if he took the case himself. It's a little bad for him to make a fuss here, just don't lose a big deal because of a small thing. "It's a matter of etiquette, so let's leave it at that. ”

"Let me ask you, where were you last night, where have you been, who have you met?" Fat Zhizhou shifted the topic to Gao Laosan in order to show that he was not targeting him;

Nangong Bo still replied without humility or arrogance: "What did I do last night, what do I have to do with you, why should I tell you?"

Lord Zhizhou pointed to the old man kneeling next to him and said: "Seeing the old man kneeling next to you, he came to report this morning that you abused his daughter and caused his daughter to hang herself, why do you want to tell me your whereabouts, do you want the official to send you to prison directly?"

Nangong Bo saw that the old man next to him was going to fight hard with him as soon as he came in, and he kept scolding him for being a brute, if it wasn't for the official messenger to pull him away, Nangong Bo was afraid that he would have been torn apart by him.

Nangong Bo understood why he had a deep hatred for himself as soon as he came in, and it turned out that there was still this reason;

Zhizhou asked, "Who can testify?"

Nangong Bo said: "My eldest brother and second brother. ”

Zhizhou retorted: "They don't count, you have a very good relationship with them, it is inevitable that there will be suspicions of covering up you, what other witnesses can you come up with?" This Lord Zhizhou is really thoughtful and vicious, holding the evidence in his own hands, and he has to destroy Nangong Bo's evidence one by one, leaving no doubts.

Nangong Bo thought for a while and said, "At that time, the shopkeeper was also present. ”

Zhizhou sent someone to invite the shopkeeper of the Happy Inn to the scene, came to a three-hall consultation, pointed to Nangong Bo and asked, "Let me ask you, do you know this person in front of you?"

The shopkeeper said that he knew him, and also said that he was drinking with Qing Yusheng and Dongfang Xian last night;

Zhizhou asked again: "I'll ask you again, where did they go after drinking." ”

The shopkeeper said they had gone back to the room, and Ke Zhizhou asked again, "Have they been in the room all along?"

This time, the shopkeeper shook his head, indicating that he didn't know.

Nangong Bo couldn't say anything, after all, the shopkeeper couldn't keep staring at him to sleep, and he was telling the truth.

Zhizhou said solemnly: "You heard, do you have any objection to the shopkeeper's words?" Nangong Bo said no.

Lord Zhizhou: "Your personal evidence is not enough to prove that you have been in the inn, you had better come up with some more powerful evidence to prove your innocence now?" No one expected that this fat Zhizhou could ask so delicately, and Nangong Bo was speechless.

A middle-aged man hurriedly entered the Happy Inn, a group of people in the inn were already restless, and when they saw the comer, they immediately got up and asked, "Uncle Han, how is it?"

Uncle Han picked up the kettle on the table and hurriedly took a sip, before he barely breathed down and said, "Miss, Qingyu Gongzi, Nangong Gongzi is afraid that he is in big trouble." When he said this, Uncle Han's voice was still a little hurried, obviously he had run a short distance and had not stopped.

He continued: "That Lord Zhizhou turned out to be the person who Nangong Gongzi beat in the tea shed a few days ago, and I also inquired on the way back; ”

When Qing Yusheng heard that the person who arrested Nangong Bo was the fat Zhizhou, he 'chuckled' in his heart, and regretted letting Nangong Bo go back with those catchers.

Although he was worried about Nangong Bo, he didn't lose his sense of proportion, and asked calmly: "They said that the third brother was involved in a life lawsuit, what happened?"

Uncle Han patted his head and said with annoyance: "As soon as I saw the people sitting in the hall, I came back to report the news, but I forgot about this stubble, so I'm running away, don't come forward first, and discuss how to rescue Nangong Gongzi." ”

In the public court, Nangong Bo, who was speechless when asked for a while, was a little at a loss, and said arrogantly: "What evidence do you have to prove that I did it?"

This Lin Zhizhou said something very strangely: "Do you know what the name of this official is?"

Nangong Bo felt inexplicable about his answer, and couldn't understand what medicine he was selling in his gourd, thinking to himself, what is your name, does it matter to me?

When the crowd heard his adult's question, they couldn't understand what he meant?

Nangong Bo could only shake his head and say, "I don't know." ”

The reason why Lin Zhizhou asked like this was nothing more than that he felt that he had eaten Nangong Bo, and let him know who he died in, don't go to the king of Hades and still don't know who killed him;

Lin Weide introduced solemnly: "This official Shuangmulin is named De, so this official will definitely not frame you, and this official will convince you." After speaking, he motioned to the master next to him, and the master walked to Nangong Bo's side with a case plate with a waist pendant and a bag of silver on it;

Nangong Bo saw the waist on the case, and involuntarily touched his waist, there was nothing empty on his waist, and he inevitably panicked;

Lin Weide saw Nangong Bo's panicked expression and asked, "The waist pendant on this is yours?" Nangong Bo nodded helplessly, which was considered a tacit acquiescence; Lin Weide forced step by step: "It's good for you to admit it?"

"Do you know where this waist pendant came from?"

How could Nangong Bo know, he didn't even know when his waist was gone, let alone how it would appear here, so he had to shake his head helplessly; Lin Weide was very satisfied with his performance and said, "Spread the work." ”

He went to the court, bowed to Lin Zhizhou, and waited to be questioned.

Lin Zhizhou said: "Niu Qizuo, tell him where this thing came from?"

Niu Qizuo claimed "yes" and said slowly: "This waist pendant was torn off from the hands of the deceased Gao Xiaoyu. At that time, when we arrived at Gao Laosan's house, Gao Xiaoyu had been put on the ground from the beam; when I checked for her, I didn't find any fatal injuries on her body, and the strange thing was that her palace sand fell, and it stands to reason that Gao Xiaoyu should still be a yellow flower girl before she left the cabinet;

This waist pendant was broken off from her hand, and judging from this tightness, it should have been held in her hand before her death; so I speculate that Gao Xiaoyu was torn off from that person when she was insulted; Gao Xiaoyu felt that she had no face to see people after being insulted, and she committed suicide by hanging the beam; it may be that she was unwilling and didn't want this person to get away with it, so she left us this clue, and wanted adults to seek justice for her!"

After finishing speaking, he withdrew from the court, and Lin Zhizhou said: "You have heard it, this official is a human witness and physical evidence;

Nangong Bo couldn't say a word with the incoherent "I, I..."

This Lin Zhizhou said angrily: "I don't give you a little hardship, you can deceive yourself as an official, right? Outside the field, the long-tongued woman who saw the wind and rumors began her ability to scold Huai again, and said, "Oh, I really didn't expect it, he really did it?"

"Isn't it, a good person doesn't do it, he wants to be a beast, it's really a pig and a dog?"

"Alas, when you are young, you can't marry what you want to marry, so why can't you think about it, and do this thing. ”

"But no, when you lift your pants, you won't admit it, if you marry Gao Xiaoyu, how can you get into this matter. "Everyone, you and I are talking word by word, as if this thing was done by Nangong Bo.

was even more daring, and shouted to the court: "My lord, we must be the master of our Xiaoyu and bring this beast to justice, otherwise, what will we do with the reputation of the women in Dazhou City?"

As soon as this voice came out, everyone echoed it, as if he was the embodiment of justice, and he could sacrifice his own righteousness for the sake of justice.

Lin Zhizhou saw the people of Dazhou City like this, and his heart was even more proud, and said: "The kid dares to beat Lao Tzu, see if I don't kill you." But on the surface, he still behaved selflessly, picked up the wood and patted it: "Quiet." ”

"There is no room for such a noise in the public court. ”

"This official will give you an explanation, and you should listen patiently and don't disturb the order of the court. ”

This party's generous statement moved Gao Laosan and the foolish people outside the yamen to tears, knelt on the ground and said: "Lord Qingtian, Lord Qingtian, God has eyes." ”

If they find out in the future, this is a good play directed and acted by Lin Weide, I don't know what they will think?

After such a fuss, Nangong Bo's thirty boards were also finished, and he was escorted back to the court, and he was forced to kneel on the ground;

Although these thirty boards will not kill Nangong Bo, the pain is enough for him to suffer for a while, and it is naturally difficult to resist the pressure of the catcher, and he can't kneel without kneeling, but that unyielding expression also shows his stubbornness and not afraid of power;

Lin Zhizhou asked again: "Do you recruit, or not?"

Nangong Bo said stubbornly: "Dog officer, don't you want to bend into a move?"

Lin Zhizhou saw that he didn't know how to lift, and said angrily: "I see that you don't cry when you don't see the coffin." Someone came to clamp the stick. ”

The catchers beat Nangong Bo again, Nangong Bo's strong and stubborn character will not give in even if he is killed;

Lin Weide looked at the painful appearance of him being beaten, and he didn't know how cool it was in his heart, and said in his heart: "You just have a hard mouth! The harder your mouth, the happier Lao Tzu will be." ”

Nangong Bo still didn't survive and fainted in pain;

Lin Weide saw that he had nothing to play, so he asked his master to draw a charge for him, and announced that he would be beheaded in three days;

When the people heard the news, they clapped their hands and praised: "I didn't expect Lord Lin to be usually not very good, but today he has done a good thing to see people's hearts." ”
