Chapter 21: On-site trial

Zhang Long and Zhao Hu originally knew that Ma Youlu was greedy for utilitarianism, but they never thought that he would dare to act without authorization this time. That Zhang Long was short-tempered, and scolded Ma Youlu: "You are bold and reckless, taking people without permission, but you really ate the guts of a dog." ”

Ma Youlu knew that he was wrong, so he wanted to please him, and said with a smile: "Shouldn't you eat leopard gall? How can you say that it's dog gall?"

It turned out that Bao Zheng of Kaifeng Mansion was upright and upright, jealous and hateful, and ordered people to specially create three guillotines, namely the dragon head guillotine, the tiger head guillotine and the dog head guillotine, the dragon head guillotine was dedicated to the royal family prisoners, the tiger head guillotine was dedicated to the officials and magnates, and the dog head guillotine was dedicated to the ordinary people. I think Zhang Long regarded this Ma Youlu as an ordinary person who was a traitor, so this "dog guts" really has a sarcastic meaning.

When he thought of this, his face was a little unbearable, and he forcibly said: "Brother Zhang Long is not going to hurt people by export, although I don't have an official document for sea fishing, but these three barbarians are fierce and vicious, and they are not good people at first glance, didn't the two of them also say that some of them dug out Xiao Er's eyeballs." What's more, I got the news that these three people had stolen my heavy objects, and they couldn't let them run away. ”

Hu Zhenbang glanced at Mu Hanyi and whispered: "I don't know how this little head catcher knows." ”

Mu Hanyi was also puzzled: "These three people have martial arts, and the news is impossible to be found by this head catcher, could it be that it is ---."

Hu Zhenbang had a flash of inspiration: "Could it be that Kou Yun was robbed by the party item Sanying after he succeeded in the scriptures, and Kou Yun had no choice but to report to the official?"

Mu Hanyi also thought of this layer in his heart, and nodded slightly at the moment, indicating that it was very likely.

Zhao Hu, who was overheard, said to Tuoba Hongfei: "He said that the three of you stole heavy objects from the imperial court, but you couldn't get the official document of sea capture, so you won't be investigated for the time being, but I have your brother who committed murder and injured people, robbed the heavy objects of the official's house, and immediately arrested and brought to justice." With that, he took out an official document from his bosom and held it up in front of Tuoba Hongfei.

Tuoba Hongfei didn't look at it and said: "I don't know your Han Chinese writing, if you want to take him, first ask my two brothers if they agree." With that, he stroked the long whip around his waist and was ready to strike at any time.

Pan Tianluo on the side also said: "That's right, the three of my brothers live and die together, and they will never be separated. With that, he slammed the iron rod in his hand.

Seeing that the eldest brother and the second brother were so righteous, Ma Qing was moved in his heart, and said at the moment: "Two elder brothers, if these officials have to take me today, I will fight to the death with them, and I must not be detained and humiliated by them, I am afraid that the two brothers will be involved in danger together." ”

Hu Zhenbang said in his heart: "I have heard that the party item Sanying pays attention to righteousness, and the three brothers live and die together, no matter the sword, the mountain and the sea of fire, they all enter and exit together, and never separate, and the rumors are true." ”

In the middle of the stalemate, suddenly the door of the inn opened, and the two walked in one after the other, and walked straight to Zhang and Zhao. The two were as burly as Zhang and Zhao, and they were also wearing soapy blue school captain uniforms.

Zhang Long and Zhao Hu were overjoyed when they saw the two of them and said, "Brother Wang, Brother Ma, why are you here too?"

That Ma Youlu was a smooth person, and he was even widely communicated, and he recognized these two people as the other two captains under Yin Baozheng of Kaifeng Mansion, one was called Wang Dynasty and the other was called Ma Han. The two of them, Zhang Long and Zhao Hu are also the generals of the Bao Mansion, and generally the four of them are in groups of two or two on errands or guarding in the palace, if these four people appear at the same time, there must be an important case that needs to be tried and investigated.

Sure enough, I heard Wang Chao reply: "Two virtuous brothers, Lord Bao heard the news and specially ordered me to rush here, and Lord Bao will arrive then to try the case here." ”

Suddenly, I saw the torches and lanterns outside the gate, shining as brightly as day. Following the gate, several people who looked like servants shouted: "Quiet, quiet, irrelevant people will be avoided, Lord Bao is going to handle the case." ”

The innkeeper also came out of nowhere at this moment, and said happily: "Lord Bao is here, Lord Qingtian is here, this is good." ”

I also saw eight messengers enter the lobby, four people stood on the left and right, one of them strode in, this person was extremely tall, more than eight feet, wearing a python robe official uniform, his face was like black charcoal, he was not angry and self-righteous, standing in the hall like an iron tower, even if he had never seen it, everyone knew that this was the Bao Zheng Bao of Kaifeng Mansion.

It's also strange to say that the people who were making a lot of noise were silent, and everyone looked at this Lord Bao. Hu Zhenbang said in his heart: "It turns out that this person is Lord Bao Qingtian Bao Zheng, who is praised by everyone in the mouth of the people of the Great Song Dynasty, and today I want to see how he decides the case." ”

Zhang Long and Zhao Hu stepped forward to bow to Bao Zheng and saluted: "Master Bao, the villain has found out the suspected murderer here, but the murderer refuses to return to the case and is waiting to be arrested." ”

Bao Zheng's eyes were sharp, he saw the situation in the house, knew the probability, and immediately spoke: "Although you have a summons, but there is no evidence, it is difficult to convince the three of them, yes or no?"

Zhang Long and Zhao Hu said: "My lord is wise, that's exactly the case. ”

Bao Zheng said again: "Come on, this official will temporarily set up a public court here to try this murder case for the first trial, and everyone present will witness it together, how about it?"

Everyone knows that Bao Zheng's trial has always been fair, and Bao Qingtian's title is by no means in vain.

When the servants heard the order, they hurriedly ordered the shopkeeper to move the tables and the chairs, and in an instant set up a public hall in the hall.

The court was facing the party Xiang Mitaka.

Pan Tianluo and Ma Qing said to Tuoba Hongfei: "Big brother, what's the matter?

Tuoba Hongfei saw that the three of them had been transferred by the people, and knew that even if he tried his best today, it would be difficult to fight a bloody way, so he thought that everyone in Kaifeng called Bao Zheng "Bao Qingtian", presumably his trial should be able to uphold fairness and impartiality. If there is no evidence, and the scriptures that the three of us have taken away from Kou Yun can't be found, it must be difficult for the three of us.

Thinking of this, he was calm in his heart, and motioned to Pan and Ma: "The two younger brothers must calm down, now that the enemy is outnumbered, you can't act rashly, and see how he decides the case, and the camera will make plans." ”

Hu Zhenbang said in his heart: "Kaifeng Mansion Yin is a first-class official rank under Shangshu and Shilang, Bao Zheng wants to personally try the case, if it is only for the case of Ma Qing hurting people, it seems to be a bit of a fuss, if he wants to judge the case of "Wujing General Essentials", how can he judge? "

While he was guessing, he suddenly heard a "pop" sound, and Bao Zheng slapped Jingtangmu in the public court. shouted: "Come on, take the plaintiff Lu Aniu." ”

I saw a person in the running hall of the inn restaurant walking forward slowly, and one of the right eyes of the person who was helped was surrounded by layers of white gauze, which turned out to be the little Erlu Ah Niu who had been digging out the cloud eyeballs by Ma Qing with lightning means.

Before the two knelt down in front of the hall, Bao Zheng said, "Are you the plaintiff Lu Aniu?"

The man with gauze in his eyes replied with a crying voice: "Returning to the words of the big man, the small one is exact, and I ask the master of the blue sky to be the master of the small one." ”

Bao Zheng's face sank and said: "What Qingtian master, you don't have to be full of flattery, just talk about the grievances." ”

When everyone heard Bao Zheng say this, they all said in their hearts: "No wonder everyone calls him a clean official, he is not soft and hard, and even a 'Qingtian master' He also said that he is flattering, which shows how upright this person is." ”

Lu Aniu was sad, put the party item Sanying into the store, and stepped forward to greet him, but he was gouged out by Na Ma Qing for no reason, and even shouted, "Ask Lord Bao to be the master of the grass people." ”

Bao Zheng pointed to the party item Sanying and said: "Lu Aniu, you look carefully, the person who gouged out your eyeballs can be among these three people?"

Lu Aniu opened his left eye wide, and boldly looked at the three people pointed out by Bao Gong, just as he swept in the fierce eyes of Ma Qing like an eagle falcon, he trembled with fright, and said after a while: "Master Bao Mingcha, he, he, he is among the three, and the thinnest one is." ”

Bao Zheng asked again: "Do you have any witnesses?"

Lu Aniu turned his head to the running hall that helped him and said, "Da Chun, you were also in the hall at the time, you saw the situation at that time, you have to testify to the master for me." ”

Running Tang Dachun glanced at it, and saw that Dang Xiang Sanying's eyes were sharp, staring at him with compassion, and Ma Qing even raised his hand, and hooked his fingers to the eye socket to gouge his eyes. He was so frightened that he didn't dare to look at it directly, where did he dare to testify, and squeaked: "Brother Niu, I'm sorry, I really, really didn't see who did it." I was serving food and drinks to another table, and I didn't even see it. ”

Lu Aniu was disappointed and helpless, and kowtowed to Bao Zheng: "At that time, the diners in the hall and the running hall and shopkeepers of the small shop were all there, Da Chun said that he didn't see it, and our Huang shopkeeper must have seen it, please allow the Huang shopkeeper to testify for the small one." ”

Bao Zheng nodded and said, "Then the shopkeeper Huang asked, where is the shopkeeper Huang?"

Lu Aniu saw it really this time, and pointed to the shopkeeper on the side of the counter.

The shopkeeper Huang had to reluctantly walk to the front of the hall, his heart was in a hurry, and he said secretly: "My Hongyun Inn is here, and I can't run, if I prove that fierce god, his two accomplices will definitely come to take revenge, how can this be good." ”

Just as he was hesitating, he suddenly heard Bao Zheng pat Tang Mu and said, "Are you the shopkeeper here?"

The shopkeeper Huang hurriedly said: "Master Huibao, the little Huang Maocai is the shopkeeper of this Hongyun Inn." ”

Bao Zheng asked again: "Then have you ever seen which of these three people gouged out the eyeballs of your shopkeeper?"

The shopkeeper Huang knew that the three people were the same group, all of them had martial arts, and they were extremely fierce, where did they dare to point out, and they didn't even dare to look at the three people, they only stood there trembling, and they didn't dare to raise their fingers, and their faces were full of sweat.

Seeing this, Bao Zheng said angrily: "Why is there no one to identify the murderer? Could it be that this Lu Aniu's eyes were picked out by himself?"

Lu Aniu was so anxious that he kowtowed again and again: "The villain's eyes were really gouged out by the tall and thin one of the three, and many diners on this wine hall have seen it. ”

Bao Zheng said: "Those guests just saw it, such a murderous state, I'm afraid they also ran away, right?" Xin said: "Is it possible that if there is no one to testify, I will let the real murderer slip through the net?"

In fact, that Bao Zheng also knew in his heart that this matter must have been done by Ma Qing, one of the three eagles in the party, but he had to pay attention to personal and physical evidence in order to teach people to be convinced.

Just as he was hesitating, a young man suddenly stood up in the crowd and shouted crisply: "Lord Bao, the villain can testify for Lu Aniu to identify the murderer." "When everyone looks, isn't it the young man who has fought with the party item Mitaka.

Bao Zheng saw that this young man was handsome, and his voice was tactful like a female voice, but there was no fear on his face, and he secretly said in his heart: "The person who ran the hall and the shopkeeper didn't dare to testify for Lu Aniu, but this young man was so bold and charming." He secretly praised in his heart, but he patted the wood in his hand and said: "What kind of person are you, you are not small, and you don't salute when you see this official, but I think you are young and ignorant, I don't care about you, and I tell you what you see." ”

When Lu Aniu saw that someone was willing to testify for him, he was very grateful, and he didn't dare to interject, and he gave his hand to Mu Hanyi again and again.

Mu Hanyi said unhurriedly: "Back to the words of the adult, the villain's surname is Mu, and the single name is a cold word." It's a fur merchant, and he and my brother Muhu have settled in this inn tonight. Speaking of this, she glanced at Hu Zhenbang.

Hu Zhenbang listened to Mu Hanyi's surname and name, and his heart was angry and funny, seeing her like this, knowing that she wanted to let herself lie for him, he hurriedly stepped forward and bowed to Bao Zheng and said: "Master Bao is above, and the villain is his brother Muhu." ”
