Chapter 4

Last time, when it came to Zhang Zhixian's vomiting of blood, Zhang Qi and Wang Ba were speechless when they were questioned, and Governor Li said: "Zhang Zhixian, don't make a noise, there are so many people and physical evidence, what else do you have to say." Zhang Zhixian said: "They are purely planting dirt and framing them." Governor Li said: "They have no grievances with you, Zhang Zhixian, and Weishenme wants to frame you." Zhang Zhixian said: "How do I know this, maybe they are instructed by others." Governor Li sank his face and said, "Zhang Zhixian, as the parent official of a county, how can you use the word maybe to shirk your responsibility." Li Laoshi couldn't hold back any longer, even if he cut off his head, he wanted to speak, and said loudly: "Zhang Zhixian is wronged, this is all reversing black and white, defiling Zhang Zhixian, I can testify." Governor Li was shocked and said angrily: "You shut up for me, how can you, a Diao Min, testify, someone accused you of colluding with Zhang Zhixian and designing to frame Wu Tiande, what crime should you be guilty of." Li Laoshi said without showing weakness: "Before this case, the grass people didn't know the county master, and it is also true that my family Cai'er was forced to death by Wu Tiande." Governor Li said: "That's your words, someone proves that your family Cai'er died of illness, and they dare to use strong words here." Li honestly shouted, "Who has lost all conscience and said that my family Cai'er died of illness, so he is not afraid of thunder?" Governor Li roared angrily and angrily: "You bold and unruly, dare to insult your own officials, roar in court, come on, give me thirty boards to punish me first." Zhang Zhixian hurriedly stopped, "Slow, the adults are angry, Li Laoshi is a rough man, and he said angrily for a while, and no one has proved that his daughter died of illness." Governor Li sneered, "He is a rough man, so you should be a learned person." Those who know the law should obey the law in front of so many witnesses and physical evidence. Zhang Zhixian was silent and speechless.

At this time, Wu Wangcai spoke: "Master Li, the grass people have a certificate that can prove that Li Laoshi's daughter Cai'er died of illness. Governor Li said, "Then you report your name." Wu Wangcai said: "This witness is Langzhong Wang Fuquan of the "Rejuvenation Hall" medical hall in Dongcheng. Governor Li listened and said, "Zhang Zhutou, you take someone to bring this Langzhong Wang Fuquan." Zhang Biao hesitated a little and didn't move, and Governor Li immediately said with a sinking face: "Why, this Governor can't command your big head." Zhang Zhixian gave Zhang Zhutou a look and told him to go and do it quickly. Zhang Zhutou said, "Lord Governor, my subordinates will not dare, I will do it." After speaking, he led people out of the lobby.

Soon Zhang Zhutou brought Langzhong Wang Fuquan to the lobby, and Wang Fuquan knelt on Wu Wangcai's side when he arrived in the lobby and said: "Grass people Wang Fuquan has given a salute to the adults. Governor Li said: "Wang Fuquan, how do you know that Li Cai'er died of illness. Wang Fuquan said: "That's the case, that day Li Cai'er had a sudden illness and had a heartache, Li Laoshi came to my hospital to ask me to see his daughter, and when I arrived at his house, Cai'er was no longer good, I gave her pulse is a heart problem, my prescription has not been prescribed, Cai'er has lost her breath." ’

Li Laoshi heard Langzhong Wang Fuquan open his eyes and say nonsense, his lungs were about to explode, and he argued loudly: "My lord, the grass people are wronged, they are talking nonsense. Governor Li didn't wait for Li Laoshi to finish speaking, and then patted the hall and said: "I think you are talking nonsense, you don't need to be punished, you don't want to recruit, come on, take Li Laoshi first 30 boards." There was already a catcher brought by the governor to press Li Laoshi to the ground, and two people picked up the big board and beat it, Zhang Zhixian didn't dare to stop it, he knew in his heart that he was about to be cured on his head. After the thirty boards were played, Li Laoshi's ass was already snorting in pain. Governor Li saw that he was finished and asked, "Li Laoshi, how did you collude with Zhang Zhixian to frame Wu Tiande." Li honestly gritted his teeth and endured hatred and said: "How can I recruit if I don't have it, I won't recruit if I am killed." Governor Li said: "Put Li Laoshi in prison first and then try again." A few arresters immediately dragged Li Laoshi to the cell.

At this time, Zhang Zhixian hurriedly said: "Lord Li, you said that I framed Wu Tiande as Weishenme, and I have no grievances with their Wu family. Governor Li said, "This question is for Wu Wangcai to answer you." Wu Wangcai said: "Of course, for the sake of silver, you arrested my son Wu Tiande and asked me for five hundred taels of silver, but I refused to pay it, so you bought the witness to defile my son, and sent him to the army to be imprisoned." Zhang Zhixian said angrily: "You are spewing blood, reversing black and white, and the heavens are intolerable." Governor Li said: "Don't say anything about heavenly principles there, now the law will not allow you, come here, take off his official hat, take off his official robes, and bring him to the court for trial." Zhang Zhixian said: "Lord Li, this is a case that is not unclear and arbitrary, and I will sue the imperial court." Without waiting for Zhang Zhixian to finish speaking, he came up and quickly pulled him to the hall and took off his official clothes and hat. Governor Li sneered: "Okay, I'll wait for you Zhang Zhengqing to sue, and wait until I judge you first." After a pause, he said, "Master Wang, you take the transcript and ask those witnesses to sign and draw it." Master Wang hurriedly took the transcript to the hall and asked Wu Wangcai, Zhang Qi, Wang Ba, Zhao Wu, Sun Dahu and others to sign and pledge. After the master returned to his seat, Governor Li said again: "You used to make false testimony because Zhang Zhengqing was forced to do so, and this master couldn't help but think of you, but now you can wake up and testify against this dirty official, and this official will force you to take responsibility, and you can all go back." When they had heard this, they got up and walked out of the hall, all listless, not at all as if they had been convicted, but not as if they were guilty.
