Zhou Zhixian praised Old Man Cheng and gave him a lot of reward, and then sent someone to announce to the Niu family's neighbors, saying that the case could be closed, and asked them to inform the Zhang family to retrieve the body. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

In the evening, the Zhang family, who was full of filial piety, came to the county office, and after Zhou Zhixian comforted her, he suddenly said: "This official has visited and understood, you and Niu Sanshun are not a good match, and you have long lost the love of husband and wife!"

Zhang said in a panic: "Why did the eldest master say this? The slave family and the first husband have a ...... of affection."

"You don't have to hide it in front of this official!" Zhou Zhixian directly interrupted her, "In my opinion, since husband and wife can't get together, why force it? Now Niu Sanshun is dead, and you are not loving when you are alive, so why should you give her filial piety for the sake of a false courtesy?"

Although Zhang really didn't want to keep filial piety, he didn't know whether what the county said was true or false, so he lowered his head and didn't know how to respond.

Zhou Zhixian's voice was even more kind: "As the saying goes, flowers are good for a hundred days, if you are a young woman like a flower and jade, if you keep filial piety for two years, won't it be in vain?

Zhang's face was immediately full of surprise, and he said shyly: "Thank you for your grace!"

Zhou Zhixian smiled and waved his hand, "If you really want to thank me, you just need to send me some wedding cakes when you get married!"

In the end, Zhang's thanksgiving farewell to Zhou Zhixian and hired someone to carry the coffin of his deceased husband home.

In the middle of the night, the door of Niu Sanshun's house in the east of the city opened, and Zhang, who had changed into filial piety clothes, walked out of the house, carefully observed around for a while, and then quietly walked into an alley.

After turning around in the alley for a while, Zhang came to a room, lightly buttoned the door rhythmically a few times, and the light in the room soon turned on, and then the door opened a crack from the inside, and Zhang's body flashed in.

"Dayou, why did you say that this magistrate suddenly remembered this case again? I am always a little uneasy in my heart, he can't be fishing for us, right?"

The young man, who was called Dayou, replied, "Don't worry, I was also a little worried, but I really couldn't stand the temptation of the fifty taels of silver, so I asked my father to claim it, and now that the magistrate really gave the money, it means that he has no doubts about the case." "This is the son of the old man Cheng who received the silver.

Zhang immediately breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Cheng Dayou's words: "I'm relieved if you say this, this case won't be closed for a day, and I can't sleep well this night!"

Cheng Dayou also sighed again and again: "It's not! These days, even I always have nightmares!"

Zhang laughed and said, "Look at your little bit of interest! Forget it, what are you going to do with your fifty taels of silver?"

You smiled and said: "Naturally, it is used to buy a family business, and I will marry you in the future!" said and sighed on Zhang's face.

Zhang nodded on Dayou's head with satisfaction: "Hmph! Even if you have a conscience, I'll tell you good news now!"

"What's the good news?" asked Dayou hurriedly.

Zhang said happily: "Zhou Zhixian sentenced me that I don't have to keep filial piety! That is to say, when the dead ghost is buried in the past two days, we can get married!"

In disbelief, he asked, "Really?"

"That's natural, the county magistrate said that I am such a flower-like person, and keeping filial piety will waste my youth, so I don't have to keep filial piety!" Zhang couldn't help but be proud as he spoke.

Cheng Dayou asked sourly: "Then why is the magistrate so good to you, it can't be that he likes you, right?"

Zhang chuckled and said, "Yes, if you don't treat me better in the future, I'll go and be a concubine in Nazhi County!"

Dayou directly threw Zhang on the bed, gritted his teeth and said: "I'll do your prodigal hooves first, and see if you dare to hook people everywhere!"

At this moment, they suddenly heard a "crackling" sound, and the two hurriedly looked up, but saw that the door and window had been knocked open from the outside, and then several wolf-like servants pounced in.

Before the two of them had time to get up, they were twisted up by the officials and taken to the courtyard to kneel, Cheng Dayou looked up tremblingly, and saw that the chief catcher of the county government was standing in front of him.

With a wave of his hand, another house in the distance was also knocked open, and soon an old man who was not dressed properly was pulled out of it, it was the person who went to the yamen during the day to receive the reward, Cheng Dayou's father, Cheng Old Man!

This is Zhou Zhixian listened to Liang Wenfu's suggestion and sent two groups of officials to guard Old Man Cheng's house and Niu's house respectively. The head catcher was personally guarding Niu's house, and he followed Zhang all the way here, and after listening to the conversation between the two in the house, the evidence was conclusive, so he ordered the arrest.

The next day, after Zhou Zhixian ascended to the hall, he slapped the startled wood, and Zhang was immediately so frightened that he urinated on the ground, and he couldn't speak.

And Cheng Dayou saw that the matter had been revealed, and he explained the reason for the incident without waiting for the execution.

It turned out that Cheng Dayou had hooked up with the Zhang family a long time ago, and the Zhang family begged him to get rid of Niu Sanshun and marry him openly in the future.

Cheng Dayou was puzzled by the beauty and agreed, but he never thought of a safe way to kill, that day he went shopping with nothing to do, and overheard Shi Shijie bragging in the courtyard wall, so he came up with this method of planting the sham with a wit. After quickly going back to discuss with Zhang, Zhang found a reason to trick Niu Sanshun into going to Huaishupo in the middle of the night, while Cheng Dayou waited for an opportunity to kill him, and then according to Shi Shijie, buried his head on the side of the road, and then threw the headless corpse into the dry well.

Later, the yamen had to find the head before he was willing to close the case, and Cheng Dayou also wanted the government to find the head as soon as possible, but he was transferred away before he could come to Luzhi County, and the matter has been dragged. If the case is not closed for a day, Cheng Dayou is always worried, and the reward is really tempting, so after hearing the notice of Zhou Zhixian, Cheng Dayou immediately asked his father to send the head to the yamen.

In the end, Cheng Dayou and Zhang were sentenced to death, although Cheng did not participate in the killing, but he did not report it, and sat back and watched the innocent almost die unjustly, so he was also punished with hard labor.

This time, Liang Wenfu thought that it would take a lot of twists and turns, so he also prepared some follow-up moves, but he didn't expect these two people to be so greedy for money and in a hurry, and they solved the case in one day.

After the end of the lobby, Liang Wenfu was called to the second hall by Zhou Zhixian again: "I didn't ask you carefully about Ding Erxi's case last time, how can you be sure that this case is not He Liu and others, but from Zhang's side?"

Liang Wenfu frowned and replied, "Wansheng has already checked He Liu and a few people in his dream!"

"In the dream, how do you investigate the case in the dream?" Zhou Zhixian asked strangely.

Liang Wenfu was stranger than him: "Ordinary people can't be completely autonomous when they dream, so they can directly use the dream technique to enter other people's dreams, and guide them to tell their secrets through various means!"

Looking at Zhou Zhixian's face full of surprise, Liang Wenfu asked tentatively: "Could it be that when you encounter a suspicious case, you never use this method to investigate?"

Zhou Zhixian frowned, and said disdainfully: "Righteousness is an upright and upright way, how can it be like those foreign ways you have learned, used to do this kind of thing of roosters and dogs?"

Liang Wenfu was stunned by what he said, and he didn't know how to step on the tail of this magistrate.

It seems that Zhou Zhixian also felt that his statement was too reluctant, and his face turned red and said: "Okay! Righteousness is the right way to be skillful, and you can't do those tricky things, so the usual trial of cases mainly depends on the ability of the officials themselves." In this way, on some trails, those foreign spells you learned are still somewhat useful!"

Speaking of this, Zhou Zhixian's tone turned to pride again: "But you must know that 'one force will reduce ten meetings', even if those Buddhas and Taoists have all kinds of wonderful uses, but under the brilliant righteousness, they will eventually dissipate immediately like a shadow seeing the sun! Therefore, you should take the right path of becoming an official in the imperial examination!"

Liang Wenfu finally understood why Lu Zhixian used a big punishment to force Shi Shijie to find a head.

Zhou Zhixian was able to admit that righteousness was inferior to Taoism in his words, and finally improved the old stereotype in Liang Wenfu's heart, but that's all, now Liang Wenfu is not interested in the bullish righteousness at all.

Zhou Zhixian finally felt a little embarrassed, so he said to Liang Wenfu: "You are so concerned about Shi Shijie's case, it seems that you two have a good relationship, you can go directly to the prison and release him now!"

The reason for the investigation was not easy to explain, so he took the release order and went to prison.

After Liang Wenfu left, Zhou Zhixian frowned deeply: This unjust case was decided by the predecessor Lu Zhixian, and now he has become a fellow intellectual, but as a subordinate, he overturned his case!

Zhou Zhixian involuntarily began to pace in the room, he knew very well that most officials love face, and in the eyes of some officials, the lives of the grass people are nothing more than their faces, and they would rather the grass people be innocently sent to death than admit their mistakes! What's more, this unjust case is not as simple as losing face, and it may also affect Lu Tongzhi's political achievements, but he can't sit idly by and ignore this matter......

"Alas, I hope Lu Tongzhi is not a stupid person!" Zhou Zhixian sighed and began to sit down and write an essay.

After coming out of the gloomy cell, Shi Shijie closed his eyes for a quarter of an hour before he finally adjusted to the sunlight outside.

Liang Wenfu looked at him from the side, and sighed in his heart, many classmates who had been offended by Shi Shijie in the past had cursed him for "dying on this mouth sooner or later", but he didn't expect him to really almost put his life into it because of bragging!

After recovering his strength, Shi Shijie gently said to Liang Wenfu: "Thank you!"

Although it was just a word of thanks, Liang Wenfu almost thought that he was hallucinating, is this still the Shi Shijie who is uncomfortable if he doesn't hurt people for a while?

Shi Shijie smiled bitterly: "Don't look at me like this, I've been blaming myself for the past two days, it's okay if I gave my life away, but it actually affected my sister under Jiuquan!

Liang Wenfu didn't know what to say, he almost gave his life and didn't let him get rid of his problem, just because his sister was humiliated, he actually changed him!

After thinking about it, Liang Wenfu said sincerely: "I actually lied to you, I have nothing to do with your sister!"

Shi Shijie shook his head and said: "You don't have to deny it, I won't treat you as a brother-in-law anyway, I just hope you can treat my sister well, don't let her be wronged, otherwise I won't let you go!"

"Okay, you can do whatever you like!" Liang Wenfu didn't have time to accompany him, and after throwing him a tael of silver, he was ready to leave.

Shi Shijie directly threw the silver back to Liang Wenfu: "I resolutely don't want money that doesn't belong to me in the future, I want to make money with my ability and integrity!"

Yes, it seems that he has been hit hard, and this is all because of choking! Liang Wenfu shook his head and went home.
