The three people who suddenly appeared stunned everyone except Zhang Zhong, especially Xian Cheng and the master. They looked at the situation in front of them, looked at each other, and knew from the eyes of each other that this matter was not them. Arranged.
Zhang Hezi was also stupid. He knew what was going on with this corpse. He was dug out from a grave elsewhere and dragged it here. Could someone really come over to recognize him? Wasn't he just exposed, dare to lie to report the case, and let the magistrate's son pass out on the road, and he has not woken up yet.
The magistrate must not skin himself? what to do? What can I do now
Zhang Hezizi became more afraid as he thought about it, stopped crying, and turned to look at Xiao Xiancheng.
Xiao Xiancheng is also nervous at this time, afraid that one of these three people is really a relative of the deceased. Will that marijuana boy recruit himself? At that time, Zhang Zhong delivered a paper, and he was done. He also looked at Zhang Hezi.
The eyes of the two people paired, and they saw the panic in each other's eyes. Xiao Xiancheng winked and shook his head, which meant to tell Zhang Hezizi that he could not be recruited anyway.
Zhang Hezizi opened his mouth slightly, looked at the corpse on the ground, and then at the three people crying over there. He raised his head and looked at the magistrate who was sneering at him, and he plopped and piled up there.
Chu Zuo started to do things at this time. He went to look at the corpse, inspected one by one, stood up, and did not go to see the county prime minister and the master book. He knew that his usual money was probably given by these two people, or It was one of them, so he only said to Zhang Zhong:
"My lord, the small one has been checked. The wound on the deceased's body was cut after a few days of death. There was no blood flowing out at all. It was all blood from the body and the openings in his clothes. Cut out with the same knife, there is a gap in that knife.
Since Zhang Hezizi said it was besieged by several people, it is impossible to have only the same knife, except for the knife wound, there are no other wounds, the little one is finished. "
After listening to Chu Zuo's words, Zhang Zhong didn't say a word, nodded, and looked at Zhang Hezi, just staring so hard, without blinking.
There was a look of horror in Zhang Hezizi's eyes. He looked at the county magistrate and the county chief, but he couldn't say a word.
"Zhang Hezi, you are so courageous that you dare to lie to report the case. I think you don't want to live anymore." Xian Cheng couldn't help it at this time, stared fiercely, and rushed towards Zhang Hezi. Going up is just a kick, kicking and shouting.
"Xiao Xiancheng, what do you mean? The official hasn't said anything, you can act on behalf of the official?" Zhang Zhong looked at him and didn't stop him, just said something.
Xiao Xiancheng deliberately kicked and beat Zhang Hezi with his back to Zhang Zhong, and blinked his eyes vigorously while hitting. Zhang Hezi was blocking back and forth with both hands, and suddenly stopped doing it. He grabbed Xiao Xiancheng’s foot and struck hard. Xiao Xiancheng was taken aback.
Zhang Hezi crawled to the front of Zhang Zhong, and said to Zhang Zhong: "The lord, the magistrate, the young man is convicted, and the young man deliberately went to the yamen to report to the official to deceive the adult, but the young man has nothing to do. In the past, the little one had some small crimes, which should have been locked up, but the little one gave some money and was released.
My lord, Xiao County Cheng found the little one two days ago and asked the little one to do so, or else he would keep the little one locked up, and the little one can’t help it, sir, please be kind to the little one. "
Zhang Hezizi was willing to take the risk this time. Even if he took the crime down, he would not believe that Xiao Xiancheng would help him. If you report me, don't think of a good idea and tell the matter.
"Nonsense." Zhang Zhong, Xian Cheng, and the main book shouted at the same time. The county and the main book shouted that there is love, but Zhang Zhong also shouted like this, so that the two people didn't know what to say.
Zhang Zhong gave Xiao Xiancheng a look that made him feel relieved. Then he said to Zhang Hezizi: "Diao Min, you not only lied to me to wait here, but also dare to frame Xiao Xiancheng, where is the servant?"
"Yes." Several government officials ran over from there.
"Come on, tie up this marijuana seed, and then go back and get the punishment." Zhang Zhong shouted, and several government officials took out the rope from their bodies and began to tie them.
Zhang Hezi was naturally unwilling to be tied up, and while struggling, he talked about how Xiao Xiancheng had arranged, making Xiao Xiancheng panic there. Fortunately, when he looked at Zhang Zhong, Zhang Zhong was always the same. Feng Qing's expression seemed to be that he didn't believe what Zhang Hempzi said.
Zhang Zhong clearly knows what's going on. If he wants to bring in Xiao Xian Cheng, it is very simple. As long as he sends Zhang Hezi to the capital, there will naturally be a way to find out the true and false, but he can't do that now. , Have to use the master book and the county Cheng two people.
Zhang Hezizi struggled, but he still hadn't twisted a few yamen, and finally he was tied up and his mouth was stuffed, which made Xiao County Cheng much more stable.
"Master Zhang, now that I know that Zhang Hezizi is lying, shouldn't he go back?" Xiao Xiancheng didn't want to stay here for a moment, so he should go back and lock up Zhang Hezizi as soon as possible.
Zhang Zhong didn't want to go back now. Tian Gouzi from Yushu Village hadn't come here yet. He had to know why the county prime minister and the master book wanted to get him there. What's there
After hearing what Xiao Xiancheng said, he said: "It's not busy, there are three more people here to recognize the corpse, let them recognize the corpse carefully, and then talk about it. The three of you come over and see if they are your relatives?"
Those three people originally came to help. The people behind Jin Lai Building, when they heard the master's words, understood that they wanted to delay the time, the woman came to the front, looked carefully, and surrounded the corpse. Walked slowly, but didn't speak, until I felt it was almost done, then shook his head.
"My lord, this is not my father. The little girl came here by mistake. Then go back. My lord, the little girl won't be arrested too, right?"
"Naturally not, you didn't report to the official, just come and have a look, then go on, the next one." How could Zhang Zhong punish his own crime and greet the old man over there.
The old man came over and looked at the same way, and then took a look at the way he came. He saw a figure running towards Zhang Zhong and said to Zhang Zhong, "It's not my cousin, my lord, I'm going back too."
The remaining kid is even more utterly "I just saw that my father is not like this, maybe he has already gone home, and I am gone."
At this time, the man running here also came close. The young man was a sturdy man, more than six feet tall, and according to Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan, he was a big man over 1.8 meters.
This person ran to the place, took a look at a few people around, and asked, "Who is the magistrate, here I am."
"Are you that Tian Gouzi?" Zhang Zhong felt happy when he saw this young man. The young man's name is not very pleasant, but he is well-rounded and simple.
"My lord, I am. I didn't kill anyone. I have been staying at home. The house over there is going to fall down again. I have to repair it." Tian Gouzi said honestly there.
"Knowing that you didn't kill, someone framed him. This person is called Zhang Hezi. He said that you brought people here to kill. Are you against him?" Zhang Zhong pointed to Zhang Hezi and asked Tian Gouzi.
Tian Gouzi looked at Zhang Hezi carefully, and shook his head: "I don't know him, so why do I have hatred? Why did he frame me?"
At this time, the stuff in Zhang Hezizi’s mouth was also taken out, and he breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately said, “It’s not me, I didn’t frame you, it’s Xiao Xiancheng, he asked me to say that, Tian Gouzi. If you want, go to Cheng Xiaoxian."
When Tian Gouzi heard this, he set his eyes on Xiao Xiancheng, took Xiao Xiancheng back two steps, and said: "I didn't say, it was not me, it was him, it was Zhang Hezi, you I didn’t collect taxes there, it was exempted, it has already been exempted."
Zhang Zhong was watching by the side, and he already understood some things. It may be that the original Wen County magistrate and others went to Yushu Village to collect more taxes, but they didn’t pay them. They didn’t seem to dare to come here, so they wanted to get over. At that time, not only will Tian Gouzi be caught, but also tax collection.
At that time, they left it to themselves to deal with the people they couldn't deal with. It didn't matter whether they could deal with it.
Zhang Zhong wanted to know about the Yushu Village, but he wouldn't ask it now, and said to Tian Gouzi: "This matter waits for the officer to go back and verify it. You will go back with the officer now, and the officer has something to ask you."
"My lord, you didn't wrong me, you are a good official, I'll go with you." Tian Gouzi glared at the master book and Xian Cheng again, and said to follow Zhang Zhong and walk down.
Zhang Zhong deliberately yawned again, so that the master book and the county prime minister saw it, and felt better, ready to continue to toss, not let Zhang Zhong rest.
Zhang Zhong brought Tian Gouzi to the car, thinking that there was a son who was pretending to be sick, and said to Tian Gouzi: "I fell when I came, and you will sit next to me when I enter."
After saying this, he opened the car door. Zhang Xiaobao was already lying there, his head resting on Wang Juan's lap, motionless.
Tian Gouzi glanced at Zhang Xiaobao and sat down beside Zhang Zhong. Fortunately, the carriage was high enough, otherwise he couldn't sit down.
"Tian Gouzi, how do the days in Yushu Village go on weekdays?" Zhang Zhong wanted to know about the situation there, so he started asking here.
Tian Gouzi shook his head: "My lord, it's not a good time at all. As long as it rains, black water will rush to the ground. There is not much grain growing in the fields. Look, my lord, are my shoes still sticking to my shoes? Less the black mud."
He didn't understand the rules, so he lifted his feet up while speaking. Sure enough, there were some black things stuck on it, but Wang Juan looked at some things and said, "Coal? So there is coal here."
