Chapter 25: The Law of the Prefectural Order
Zhang Shengguan was a little flustered when he saw that he was biting gold halfway, but he still had a hint of luck, although Su Duan knew that this was his mansion, but he didn't necessarily know where the silver was hidden. He hurriedly took a deep breath, calmed down and said, "Lord Yushi, Su Duan obviously said that he came to look for stolen silver, but now he found a random courtyard, and he insisted that it was mine, which is not in accordance with the rules at all!"
According to the imperial history, what Zhang Shengguan said is indeed true, and it is imperative that he first find the location of the stolen silver, and report it to his superiors, and he must also need these stolen silver as evidence. So he asked Su Dui: "Young man, we said that we would go and deal with the stolen silver, what did you bring me to this courtyard for?"
Su Du thought to himself: This promotion is really a big heart, it's all here, how dare you deny it, I know that this is his mansion, how can he not know where I know where his stolen money is?
So he said, "My lord, please don't be anxious, come with me to the backyard to check." ”
There were too many onlookers, and the patrol was afraid that there would be many mistakes, so he asked the people to wait outside the door, and he accompanied Su Du, and let the two officials carry Zhang Shengguan and go to check the inside of the house.
Su Duan led people straight to the hut where the money was hidden, and Zhang Shengguan's face was already very pale.
Coming to the door, looking at the three big locks hanging on it, Su Duan said to Zhang Shengguan: "Lord Zhang, please open this door." ”
"What kind of door? I don't even know where this place is! How can I have the key!" Zhang Shengguan refused to admit it.
Su Du smiled and said, "It doesn't matter if you have it or not, I'll open it for you." ”
With that, he lifted his leg and kicked the door of the hut open.
The patrol press Yushi looked at this inconspicuous hut, there were actually three locks, and he was also suspicious.
Su Du found the mechanism on the wall, opened the secret door on the ground, and then led the way in front, and the patrol press Yushi also followed, and the two officials behind dragged Zhang Shengguan to follow.
There was another door in front of him, but this couldn't stop Su Duan at all, and he kicked the door again: "My lord, please come in and take a closer look!"
Just from the light to the dark, the patrol Yushi's eyes have not yet adjusted, and after waiting for a few seconds, he can see the surrounding environment clearly, it turns out that in this cellar, there are piles of gold, silver and jewelry. I have never seen so many treasures at one time in my life, and the amount is so huge that it is staggering.
So he ordered someone to bring Zhang Shengguan over, pointed to the stolen money, and asked loudly: "Boldly Zhang Shengguan! You explain to me clearly! What is the matter with this money?"
Zhang Shengguan was completely panicked at this time, his brain was blank, and he muttered in his mouth: "This ...... This is Wang Batian's stolen silver. ”
"What are you talking about? Be louder, I didn't hear you. The Inspector asked.
Zhang Shengguan hurriedly said: "My lord, do you remember? I exterminated Wang Batian and his gang of bandits. I seized these gold and silver, and I didn't get the dividends at all!"
Su Du couldn't help but laugh when he saw that Zhang Shengguan was in a hurry.
Hearing that Zhang Shengguan was still denying it, the inspector scolded loudly: "Are you an idiot to be an official? You keep saying that you don't know where this is, but you also say that you have seized this silver, and you don't want to think about it yourself, you have already contradicted yourself in what you say, what else do you have to say!"
Seeing that he had said the wrong thing, Zhang Shengguan hurriedly knelt down and said, "My lord, this house is indeed not mine, my house is just the cottage you went to last night." I don't know whose money it is! I just said it nonsense!"
"Shut up!" Patrol Yu Shi was furious, "That little house is not yours at all! I have already seen it! As a woman, how can your wife not even know where to put such things as firewood, rice, oil, and salt! You still want to lie to me? I will definitely make this matter clear and punish you with death! Come, take him down for me!"
After that, the official escorted Zhang Shengguan out, and Su Du and the patrol Yushi also went out.
Seeing this, the people outside the door cheered happily when they knew that the matter was done.
Zhang Shengguan was like a fool at this time, and he didn't speak with his mouth open. At this moment, Mrs. Zhang rushed up from the crowd, fell to her knees with a plop, hugged Zhang Shengguan and cried bitterly.
Zhang Shengguan came back to his senses at this time, looked at the person he once loved in front of him, and said slowly: "Madam, it's me who is not good, I have affected you, such a big thing has happened, I'm afraid you will be sent to the frontier." ”
Mrs. Zhang cried and shouted: "Husband, don't talk about it, it's a pity that I haven't been able to give you a child in this life." ”
Zhang Shengguan knelt down and said with tears in his eyes: "You always say that you want to live in the best home in the world." I tried my best to take risks, and I was scared every day, and finally built this big mansion for you, but now, there is nothing left......"
When Mrs. Zhang heard this, she cried even more fiercely, she held Zhang Shengguan's hands and looked at him with affection: "Fool! As long as there is you, even the broken house yesterday is the best home in the world for me! Since you became an official, every day is extremely busy, and I can rarely talk to you, the reason why I say this is just that I hope you can go home more and accompany me more." You know, no matter what the house is, with you, you can be considered a writer......"
Speaking of this, the two hugged their heads and cried, everyone saw this scene, and they were full of emotion, this promotion was really putting the cart before the horse, originally just for an ordinary wish, but I didn't expect to go further and further on the wrong road. If the husband and wife could be honest with each other and explain their true thoughts in their hearts, they would not have misunderstood each other and produced unnecessary consequences like today.
However, the process that should be followed still has to be followed. The officials took both of them down. Seeing that the matter had finally been satisfactorily resolved, the common people applauded again and again and praised Su Dui.
"This little brother is really a big hero!"
"That Zhang should have been in prison a long time ago! It's not in vain that I came here to join in the fun!"
"This son is really grateful to you for the people!"
"If it weren't for you, we wouldn't have dared to sue that dog officer. ”
......
Listening to the praise of the people, Su Duan was a little fluttering. At this time, Liu Rushi also walked over with a smile on her face, and Su Du hurriedly asked her, "How is it?
Liu Rushi said to him gently: "Of course, you exposed that corrupt official and eliminated harm for the people, of course." Moreover, chivalry does not necessarily have to use a knife or a gun. ”
Su Du was extremely happy when she heard her say this, after all, it was a happy thing for everyone to get the praise of the person she liked.
