Zhang Shengguan rolled on the ground in pain, and secretly cursed Su Du in his heart.

When the surrounding people saw Zhang Shengguan's embarrassed appearance, they clapped their hands again and again, cheered loudly, and some even whistled. Everyone felt that this promotion was deserved and deserved to be unlucky.

Su Du asked casually: "Lord Zhang, I said that I would play thirty sticks, but now I can only play two sticks." You're also a law-abiding person, so you're sure to finish the fight. ”

Of course, Zhang Shengguan could hear Su Duan's retort, and he just hit it, and his hands were almost useless, if he hit thirty times, it would be like his own life.

Zhang Shengguan endured the pain, got up and said with a smile: "I don't think it's necessary, this official has always been kind-hearted, for the sake of the faces of the fathers and villagers around me, I will spare you for these thirty boards." ”

After that, I turned around and left, and I wanted to quickly find a Lang Zhong to bandage it. Seeing that he was leaving, Su Duan hurriedly said, "Hey, don't mind Master Zhang! I don't hurt, you can fight with confidence." ”

Zhang Shengguan was about to be angry with him, and scolded viciously in his heart: Good you stinky boy, wait for this official to find an opportunity in the future, so that you will die without a place to be buried.

Seeing that Zhang was about to leave, the inspector got up and said, "Hey, Lord Zhang, where are you going? This is still under trial." ”

Zhang Shengguan said with a bitter face: "Lord Yushi, you see that my hand has been injured and become this virtue, I still have to hurry up to find a doctor." ”

"No, you can't go!" said the Inspector Goshi. But seeing that Zhang Shengguan's injuries were indeed serious, he ordered someone to find Lang Zhong, bandaged him, asked him to sit next to him, and then continued to try the case.

The scene was very chaotic for a while, and the surrounding people were chatting and talking, all watching the excitement here. The inspector then knocked on the shocked wood and said: "Fathers and fellow villagers, please be quiet! Please be quiet! Don't make a loud noise above the court!"

After the yamen was quiet again, the inspector then asked, "Su Dui, you said that you were going to sue Zhang County, I don't know what crime you want to sue him?"

Su Du saluted and said: "Lord Hui, this Taiping County Commander Zhang was promoted, and the leader of the cottage bandits, Wang Batian, the two colluded together, blocked the road and robbed, and oppressed the people, the people and gods were angry, and the crime was unforgivable!"

The patrol was shocked, although he thought that Zhang Shengguan had a problem, but it should have been just corruption or something, but he didn't expect him to collude with the bandits. So he asked, "Do you have any evidence for what you say?"

"Your Excellency, I caught a bandit in the mountains a few days ago, and he can testify in court. Su Du replied.

The inspector thought to himself, it seems that there is a witness, so he said, "Call him in!"

When Liu Rushi heard this, she let go of the bandit and let him enter the yamen.

Although this bandit was rampant and domineering in the cottage, when he entered the yamen and looked at this formation, he was so frightened that he knelt on the ground and kowtowed.

The inspector then asked, "The person kneeling in the hall, what is your name, and what is the matter?" ”

The bandit kowtowed, glanced at Su Dui, and said, "Report ...... The little one's name is Zhao San, who was originally a follower under Wang Batian. Until five years ago, our village was still very poor, because we didn't dare to cause big trouble for fear of alarming the government.

But just five years ago, since the county magistrate Zhang Shengguan came, he cooperated with our king Wang Batian, we were responsible for robbing the money, they were responsible for the aftermath, and the stolen money was divided into fifty and fifty.

It's been five years, our cottage is getting bigger and bigger, and there is more and more money to grab, every year we will send money to Zhang County, several times I will follow, just two days ago, we just sent this year's dividends. ”

After the bandits said that, there was an uproar in the audience, and the common people pointed at Zhang Shengguan and discussed a lot.

When Zhang Shengguan heard this, he was naturally very nervous, so he jumped up and said: "False accusation! He is making false accusations!"

Su Du was also angry when he heard him quibble like this, and he really wanted to take a camera to take pictures of all the crimes. Just because Zhang Shengguan tampered with the account books and texts without permission, he was punished. But when you think about it, the ancients didn't have a camera at all, and even if they recorded a video to show them, it may not be used as evidence, and it may be laughed at by others as a trick. It's still hard to think about.

The inspector looked at Zhang Shengguan's anxious appearance and knew that he had a ghost in his heart, so he drank to Zhang Shengguan: "Shut up! Whether it is a false accusation or not that the official has his own decision, now that the defendant is you, don't put pressure on the witness!"

With that, Zhang Shengguan sat down and glared at the bandit through gritted teeth.

The inspector asked again: "Li San, let me ask you, what you said is true?"

The bandits hurriedly kowtowed and said, "My lord! It's true! If I tell half a lie, the sky will thunder!"

The inspector then turned around and asked Zhang Shengguan: "I'm asking you now, is there such a thing?"

Zhang Shengguan hurriedly got up and said respectfully: "Back to Lord Yushi, a few days ago, I exterminated a group of bandits, led by Wang Batian. This bandit who came to testify must have deliberately framed me in order to avenge their king, please be aware of it!"

When Su Duan heard Zhang Shengguan say this, he thought to himself, what a cunning old fox.

The patrol pressed the imperial history for a while, if there was only one witness to testify, obviously the evidence was not enough, and after thinking for a moment, he asked Su Dui: "Su Dui, let me ask you, in addition to the testimony of this witness, do you have anything else that can be used as evidence?"

Su Du thought to himself, now is the time to take out Wang Batian's small account book, so he said to the inspector Yushi: "Tell your lord, in addition to human evidence, there is also physical evidence in hand. ”

After that, he took out the ledger from his backpack: "My lord, this booklet is the ledger of the bandit leader Wang Batian." It is a clear and detailed record of every transaction between Wang Batian and Zhang Shengguan! ”

When Zhang Shengguan saw this scene, he immediately panicked, so he said loudly: "This booklet must have been forged by him!"

"Shut up!" the Inspector scolded him angrily, "Someone! ”

At the sound of an order, a servant walked towards Su Du, took the booklet in his hand, and carefully handed it to the inspector Yushi.

The people around looked extremely excited, thinking that Zhang Shengguan was finally going to be arrested this time, and everyone chatted with each other.

"Quiet, quiet!" Seeing that there was a commotion around him again, the patrol pressed Yushi and slapped a few more shocks.

He picked up the ledger and looked through it carefully, and the records in it were indeed very detailed.

After reading it, the inspector put down the account book in his hand and scolded Zhang Shengguan sharply: "Bold Zhang Shengguan! Now that the human and material evidence is there, what else do you have to quibble!"
