Mu Yirong looked at the back of Liu Jingshan hurriedly walking towards the door of the house and said, "This is another piece of evidence that this official found in Steward Pang's room to prove your guilt. ”

Liu Jingshan suddenly stopped, turned around and squinted at Mu Yirong, his tone was very tired.

"Lord Squire, tonight, are you going to take me away before you stop, whether the subordinate is guilty or not?"

"Liu Jingshan, although Wu Shilan, the murderer of Xiao Tao, Steward Pang and Chao Gui, the manager of Wanjin Gambling House, and others, has pleaded guilty to the law, but the person who instructed her will not be let go. ”

Mu Yirong said as he slowly unfolded the booklet in his hand, looked at the content densely recorded in small characters on it, and slowly spoke, his voice was flat.

"In the year of Gengzi, in the month of Gengchen, on the day of Wuzi, I received five silver ingots of twenty taels from the Beijing Wanjin Gambling House. ”

After reading six or seven different dates, Mu Yirong stopped and unfolded the booklet to everyone.

"This booklet is an account book, every time Steward Pang goes to the gambling house in the capital, he will record the amount of silver taels received and make an account book. But this ledger is not the original, but a transcription. In addition to recording the amount of silver taels handed over to Liu County Lieutenant by the Wanjin Gambling Workshop, there are also records of some people in Lintong County who usually entrust Liu County Lieutenant to change their household registration, pay less taxes, and resell grain and property in the official warehouse of Lintong County. ”

Liu Jingshan is the county lieutenant in charge of Lintong County's "gong, household, and warehouse", and he is responsible for the change of household registration and warehouse statistics. The booklet is so detailed that people can't help but believe it.

With a "boom", a thunderclap suddenly fell from the sky, which shook everyone and made everyone panic and nervous inexplicably.

After the thunder, a slight drizzle fell again, and the water droplets on Liu Jingshan's face could no longer tell whether it was cold sweat or rain.

His eyes were vague, and he looked at Mu Yirong directly: "Lord Shilang, you said that this pamphlet is a bribery and corruption account book, is it an account book? You said that this was found from Steward Pang's room, is this really the case? Now that Steward Pang is dead, there is no proof of death, you want to frame the lower official, naturally you want to say whatever you want, just say it." ”

When Liu Jingshan said this, his eyes became terrifying: "Lord Shilang, the lower official knows that you are the cousin of the county lieutenant of Mu Juezhi, and he wants to help him win the position of the county lieutenant of Gongtocang, and he also wants to arrest the official by the way to increase your performance, so that this plan kills two birds with one stone." It's just that your conscience won't hurt, won't it?"

The more Liu Jingshan spoke, the colder his tone became, the darker his eyes became, and the more hideous his expression became, as if he was a demon from the underworld.

"Lord Squire, you are investigating the case with such a clear conscience, and the lower official is really ashamed of you, and I feel sorry for the case you investigated and dealt with before. I don't know how many of them have been innocently wronged like this, so that you are now known as a genius in Dali Temple. ”

Liu Jingshan is really stable, Mount Tai collapsed in front of him and his face did not change, he was already forced into a desperate situation, but he was still able to bite back, and poked to the point that could cause people's reverie and speculation.

When Hou Hu and Hou Hou heard Liu Jingshan slandering Mu Yirong like this, they were so angry that they snorted and scolded loudly.

"Nonsense, our leader has real talent and learning, and he has never wronged a good person by handling cases with his ability. You don't talk nonsense, and when the dog is in a hurry, he jumps over the wall and bites us on the head. Who can still believe your quibbles? ”

Liu Jingshan snorted coldly: "The two of you are wearing official clothes, but you are acting for the tiger, don't you feel sorry for your ancestors?"

Hou Hu and Hou Monkey have never seen such a brazen person as Liu Jingshan to the extreme, obviously they are already at the end of their crossbows, and they even speak for themselves skillfully and slander others.

was really angry that Hou Hu and Hou Monkey had a pain in their brains, and they no longer bothered with Liu Jingshan, and they rolled up their arms and sleeves to arrest Liu Jingshan. and issued a warning, if anyone dares to obstruct it, it will be regarded as an accomplice and will be arrested together.

Liu Jingshan saw Hou Hu and Hou Monkey step forward, snatched the hoe from the hands of the subordinates next to him, and waved it at the two.

"Go away, I didn't kill anyone, you can't wronged a good person. I will not die with you. ”

Liu Jingshan, who was poor in donkey skills, had completely ignored it, Hou Hu and Hou Monkey glanced at each other, snorted coldly, and was about to draw a knife, but was stopped by Mu Yirong reaching out.

Mu Yirong, who couldn't see any expression on his face, waved behind him, and Seocho immediately carried a person forward, as if carrying a little chicken, and threw it at Mu Yirong's feet.

Mu Yirong glanced down at the person kneeling next to his feet, and then looked up at Liu Jingshan: "County Lieutenant Liu, do you know this subordinate in your house?"

The person who shrank at Mu Yirong's feet looked at Liu Jingshan tremblingly, Liu Jingshan only glanced at this person, and his heart was half cold, but he still didn't change his face and quibbled.

"The people in the lower officials' mansions naturally know the lower officials. I just don't know, what did this man do wrong?"

Mu Yirong did not reply, but took a heavy book with a brown paper cover from Seocho's hand and opened it again.

The official thought that since Steward Pang had secretly copied an account book, the real boss of the Wanjin Gambling House should have the original account book in his hand. Since this official suspects County Lieutenant Liu, of course, it is from you. It's just that when the official secretly searched your study before, he didn't find the account books, and felt that something was wrong, thinking that you had hidden some secret secret place that ordinary people couldn't find. I will first take out the account book of Steward Pang and beat you, thinking that after you are anxious, you must find a way to destroy it to prevent future troubles. ”

When Mu Yirong said this, he smiled at Liu Jingshan: "Originally, you just need to hide this account book." However, County Lieutenant Liu has a problem with things, that is, he likes to destroy all the human and physical evidence that is unfavorable to you. So when this official took out the account book of Steward Pang, he saw that you were a little confused, and secretly gave the next person a look. But I don't know that the praying mantis catches the cicada, and the yellow finch is behind. The chief of the Seocho Pavilion personally caught this subordinate and took out this account book in the secret compartment of your study, and the stolen goods were obtained, see how you can quibble?"

The subordinate who knelt at Mu Yirong's feet immediately prostrated on the ground, "bang, bang, bang" kowtowed to Mu Yirong several times, and while shouting injustice, he pointed at Liu Jingshan and said: "Adults spare their lives, adults spare their lives, it was the little master who asked me to destroy the account books, and other things, the little ones don't know anything, let alone kill people." ”

"Okay, you cheap slave, you dare to collude with outsiders to wronged your own official, see if I don't beat you as a dog who eats inside and out. ”

Liu Jingshan shouted, so he rushed forward, and the hoe in his hand slashed straight at the head of the man, and Hou Hu and Hou Monkey hurriedly stepped forward to stop it.

And at this moment, Wu Shilan, who was kneeling on the side, suddenly spurted out a mouthful of blood with a "wow".

Mu Yirong saw Wu Shilan vomiting blood, and secretly screamed that it was not good, how could he forget for a while, how could Liu Jingshan, who likes to kill people, leave Wu Shilan, a living witness, and hurriedly asked Mu Juezhi to hurry up and invite the doctor over.

With a "boom", a thunderclap fell from the sky again, exploding the branches of the silver trees in the sky above the courtyard.

Everyone was shocked, and before they could come to their senses, a terrible scream suddenly sounded in the house.

Immediately afterward, a woman's voice shouted sharply, "Madam."

Then, a maid with blood on her hands stumbled out of the house, and in the heavy rain, she ran to Liu Jingshan crying silently.

"Old ...... The master, the lady and the young master, all ....... They all went together. ”
