"Sister-in-law, don't be afraid, Erlang will go with you, you just say it, if someone wrongs you, I will definitely make the decision for you. Wu Song said proudly.

"With your words, even if you go to hell, you are not afraid. Pan Jinlian said firmly,

Wu Song saw a woman's clothes on the ground, and knew that it belonged to Pan Jinlian, so he quickly picked it up and handed it to her, Pan Jinlian's face turned red: "It's dirty, don't, I'm okay to wear my uncle's clothes." ”

Wu Song didn't think much about it, holding the belt around her waist, Pan Jinlian was also handsome in women's clothes, if she didn't have a bulging chest, she would definitely be able to pretend to be an elegant scholar.

Pan Jinlian followed Wang Erniu up the stairs, Wu Song grabbed both hands, lifted the three women up, and strode behind, although Lian Sheng was afraid of Wu Song, he was even more afraid that the three women would talk nonsense, so he hurriedly followed behind.

Wu Song walked into the public hall, there were four catchers on each side, none of them were familiar to him, the county magistrate sat on the court, and set up another table, and in front of him sat a fat man in his twenties, drinking fragrant tea, thinking that it was Gao Lian.

Boom!

Wu Song threw the three women to the ground and saluted: "Dutou Wu Song pays a visit to the county minister!"

"Wudutou, who are these three people, and why are they bound?"

"These three people abused lynching in prison to force Pan Jinlian to confess!"

"Is there any evidence?"

"Pan Jinlian can testify! When the villains went in, they also saw them committing murder!"

The magistrate was shocked and shouted downward: "Pan Jinlian, tell me how you were lynched in the cell?"

Pan Jinlian kowtowed and said: "Xianggong, even the head of the arrest took the women to prison, so he asked the prisoner to confess, saying that as long as she confessed, she could be released, but the women did not agree, so they were forcibly stripped of their shirts and pushed into the cell, and then these three evil women came to torture, fortunately Wudutou came to rescue." ”

When she said the last sentence, her voice became very weak, her face was red, and the magistrate asked, "Tell me exactly what lynching they used on you!"

Pan Jinlian listened, her face flushed even more, how could she say it, what the three women said was very shameful, and the torture instrument was even more shameful, she was still a yellow flower girl, and she couldn't say it no matter what.

"Xianggong, you only need to send someone to the cell to bring the torture instrument, and you will know at a glance that the woman can't speak!"

The magistrate immediately ordered Wang Erniu to go to the cell to get the torture tools, Wang Erniu went for a while, and came back sweating profusely to report: "Xianggong, I can't find anything in the cell." ”

Wu Song glanced at Lian Sheng, a wicked smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he scolded himself for being stupid in his heart, why didn't he bring all the torture tools just now, and now there is no proof of death.

"Xianggong, the villain has been on an errand in Yanggu County for more than ten years, and he knows the rules of the county government, how can he abuse lynching, and how can he privately make the prisoner confess his guilt, and then release him, the stakes are very high, how can the villain be responsible. Lian Sheng hurriedly mended the knife: "Pan Jinlian slandered the villain, please be clear." ”

The magistrate had the intention of helping Wu Song, but now there is no evidence to prove that Pan Jinlian was lynched, so he had to say: "Temporarily put those three women in prison, and then try them again in the future, Pan Jinlian, let me ask you, did you steal the white jade horse in the house of the senior member yesterday?"

"No, yesterday the little girl was invited by Pan Yun to her room to do some sewing work, and left at noon, the Gao family is heavily guarded, if the little woman hides a white jade horse, she will definitely be discovered. ”

"That's not necessarily, it's very simple for you women to hide a white jade horse, it's okay to put it in your skirt, it's okay to put it in your arms, as long as Wu Dutou agrees, I'll demonstrate it on you immediately!" Lian Sheng glanced at Wu Song and smiled.

"Lian Sheng! That's my sister-in-law, if you dare to say anything contemptuous, don't blame Wu Song for being ruthless!"

"She is your sister-in-law, so you broke into the prison and framed the villain in order to save her, although I am under your jurisdiction, but in the court, I am also fighting on the basis of reason!"

Wu Song was so angry that he almost exploded, and there was a voice in his heart, Wu Song, Wu Song, if you want to save Pan Jinlian, you must be calm, don't be angry with that goods.

"The magistrate of the county, are you here today to listen to your quarrel or to try the theft case of my house?"

"Ahem!" Zhixian coughed twice in embarrassment, pretending not to hear it, this Gao Lian has no official and no quality, and he is trying the theft case for him, but he is relying on the backing of Gao Taiwei to impose guidance, which is really annoying, but what can be done.

Syllable!

The magistrate was shocked and said, "Bring Mother Xu up!"

Mother Xu came up and knelt down to bow, and the magistrate asked, "Mother Xu, tell me what you have seen and heard." ”

"Master, yesterday Pan Jinlian came to Miss's room to do sewing, Miss thought that she was her sister with the same surname, and she was very good to her, and went to the kitchen to make some hometown pastries for her. Mother Xu spoke very clearly, like telling a story, Wu Song snickered in his heart, and only the lines memorized in advance would be so smooth.

"Miss asked me to serve fragrant tea on the side, I didn't want to, what identity did she let me serve her like Miss did, but Miss ordered, and I had to do it, and drank a cup of tea, Pan Jinlian disliked it and said that the tea was not fragrant enough, let me change the tea, and I went out to ......"

"Okay, you Mother Xu, how many times have I come to your house, when have I drunk a cup of tea you made, you will treat me as a person, if it weren't for the ..... to help the family"

When Pan Jinlian heard this, she couldn't help but retort loudly, and the magistrate was shocked: "Pan Jinlian, let her say it first, this official has his own public opinion!"

"I went out to make tea, thinking that this Pan Jinlian is a regular on weekdays, when will I dislike the tea is not fragrant, our Gao family's tea is of the highest quality, how can it not be fragrant, I was suspicious, so I turned my head and knelt out of the window to see what tricks she had. ”

"Hehe, as a result, the woman looked around, and then took the white jade horse, took out the rope from her arms, and tied it in the skirt, it seems that she must have been prepared, I thought she was a good sister of the young lady, if I poked it on the spot, I don't know if the young lady will be blamed, so when she left, I told the young lady, I don't know, this white jade horse is worth a fortune. ”

"Miss also said that I wronged Pan Jinlian, until yesterday afternoon, when I saw an extra jade bead hairpin on her head, I didn't believe it, so I reported to the official and sued the official. ”

After Xu's mother finished speaking, she took out the jade bead hairpin and presented it to the hall.

"Chuan Jewelry Store Shopkeeper!" the magistrate shouted again.

The shopkeeper of the jewelry store knelt in front of the hall, and the magistrate asked, "Shopkeeper, do you recognize this bead hairpin?"

The villain recognized that it was bought by Wu Da yesterday, with an offer of two hundred and twenty taels and a counteroffer of two hundred taels. ”

"Pan Jinlian, let me ask you, Wuda bought baked cakes, why did he have so much silver to buy this pearl hairpin worth two hundred taels?"

Pan Jinlian herself was also confused, Wu Dalang clearly said that it was worth two taels of silver, how could it become two hundred taels, she looked at Wu Song in surprise.

Wu Song was about to admit that the silver was given to Wu Dalang by himself, Wang Erniu nervously squeezed his eyebrows at him, he immediately understood that this silver was the protection money collected by everyone, if he admitted it, it would inevitably affect the other four catchers and Wang Erniu.

"Xianggong, since she has nothing to say, she must be a thief with a weak heart, so use torture!" Gao Lian said coldly.
