"My lord! Please verify your identity first, and we will discuss other matters later..."
The master of the prefecture government immediately cupped his hands and stepped forward, Wang Zhifu was so excited that he was about to jump on the table, he quickly pointed to the hall and shouted: "Where is Zhang Tiansheng's mother, who is this little thief, is it your son Zhang Tiansheng, If you dare to talk nonsense, this government will not forgive you lightly!"
"My lord! The slave family is the young master of the Zhang family, the widow of Zhang Tianbao..."
The widow of the Zhang family quickly waved her hand and said: "My mother-in-law's old eyes are dim, and she has already suffered from hysteria, and she even recognized the thief as her own child. My uncle is sixteen years old, not as tall as this thief, and much fatter than this thief. He is not Zhang. Born!"
"So you were invited by the Bian family, no wonder you came so quickly..."
Zhao Guanren finally understood that this widow was definitely Bian Xianglan's last resort. If he could be blamed for the poisoning crime, both the Bian family and the magistrate would be happy, but if the blame failed, then he would directly reveal his identity. Put the blame on him.
"Fake! Master Zhang is fake..."
The melon-eaters outside exploded with a "buzz", and the guy shouted again: "He is not Zhang Tiansheng. Zhang Tiansheng gambled a lot in the village, owed a whole lot of debt, and hid in the temple and dared not go home. I I saw him yesterday, if you don’t believe me, you can send someone to look for him!"
"You, how could you not be Zhang Tiansheng, who are you, why did you lie to us..."
Now it was the turn of Song Chizhu and the others to be dumbfounded, and Qian Tongzhi scolded angrily: "Absurd! Absurd! With your talent and learning, you will definitely be able to make great achievements and create a career. Why do you pretend to be a gambler?" Trash, why is that?"
"This is my son, don't talk nonsense..."
Mrs. Zhang pulled Zhao Guanren back with a distressed face, but Wang Zhifu yelled: "Brave little thief! How dare you impersonate, disturb the government office, and confuse people's hearts, come here! Give me a big punishment!"
Wang Zhifu's "big punishment waiter" was full of arrogance, elated, and his official authority was so high that he wished to crush Zhao Guanren, a bastard, with his domineering aura, and his eyeballs were about to emit "death rays".
"I, I was deceived by him, I didn't know about it..."
Song Chizhu hurriedly waved his hands to clear the matter. At this moment, he only wanted to protect himself. When he saw the state servants jumping out like a wolf, he had already thrown Zhao Guanren's words into the gutter.
"Take him down!"
The state guards jumped out like wolves and tigers, and the team leader who was kicked over by Zhao Guanren excitedly picked up a water and fire stick, as if to beat his shit out with the stick.
"I see who dares to touch me, take a good look at what this is..."
Zhao Guanren suddenly took out a bronze waist plate. The upper part of the bronze plate was in the shape of a "tiger head swallowing", and two lines of words were engraved on the oval plate below - Jingdu Weichang Black Clothes Captain!
"..."
All the people in the hall were dumbfounded, their eyes were as if they were looking crazy, and Wang Zhifu said angrily: "You are a bold lunatic, you pretended to be Zhang Tiansheng just now, and then turned around and pretended to be a black-clothed guard, playing the house and all the officials like monkeys!" Well, take him down for me!"
"Wait!"
Zhao Guanren said arrogantly: "You want to be framed without verifying your integrity, right? I am an upright seventh-rank captain in black, Zhao Yunxuan, and my immediate boss is Baihu Li Shuntian, and the next level is Qianhu Chen Dezhi. The black-clothed guards caught today are all fakes, and I am the real one!"
"Fake your mother! Give me a big punishment to serve..."
Wang Zhifu looked for gavels all over the table angrily, just wanting to smash his dog's head off, but the government officials are not fools, if they really beat the black guard, they won't be able to eat and walk away.
"Isn't it fake..."
Zhao Guanren said loudly: "Could it be that the magistrate prefect is talking nonsense and deceiving the people? There are tens of thousands of people watching outside. If you have any doubts about my identity, you can go to the state capital and ask thousands of adults to come to verify my authenticity and identity." If it's fake, you'll take my head off!"
"My lord! There is an urgent report..."
A city gate officer suddenly rushed in from the outside, clasped his fists and said loudly
: "The state capital quickly came to a hundred households of guards in black to investigate the impersonation of guards in black. They also said that a secret agent in black, Zhao Yunxuan, is lurking in our county for secret investigations. Please cooperate with all government offices!"
"Where's the person? What about the waist card? But the inspection is clear..."
Wang Zhifu almost climbed onto the table in a hurry, and the other party replied loudly: "The inspection is clear, it is indeed Li Baihu from Ningzhou Wei in the Jingdu Weichang, but he has not entered the city. On the way here, he returned to meet him!"
"Chen Qianhu is really here? This, this..."
Wang Zhifu looked at Zhao Guanren and was speechless, and the others were also stunned, feeling that this series of news was too exciting.
"Prefect Wang! You should be familiar with Chen Qianhu, so don't doubt it anymore..."
Zhao Guanren proudly put away the waist card. In fact, there was someone's name on the back of the waist card, which would be revealed immediately if someone turned it over.
Qian Tongzhi frowned and said, "Zhao Yunxuan! Who are you, and what's going on here?"
"Why do you think I pretend to be Zhang Tiansheng, why do I try my best to cure the poison..."
Zhao Guanren said loudly: "This official is Captain Zhao Yunxuan in black. He was ordered by Lord Qianhu to lurk in Lantai County to investigate the poisoning incident by secret agents of the Ji Kingdom. This incident has already begun. Otherwise, how could I find the Zhang family? And found the corpse in his haunted house?"
"Crap!"
Wang Zhifu said angrily again: "If you are the captain of the black-clothed guard, why doesn't Tan Qingning recognize you and fight you?"
"Secret agent, agent agent! If everyone recognizes me, what the hell am I supposed to know..."
Zhao Guanren said with his head held high: "I entered the guard training at the age of twelve, and I have been under the direct supervision of Master Qianhu, who specializes in internal dereliction of duty cases. There are many spies like me, who may stand outside the door." With a few, we also don't recognize each other!"
"right!"
Someone in the crowd agreed, but immediately covered his mouth and ran away. Wang Zhifu finally fell back down and sat down, his face was ashen and his mouth was open.
"Master Zhifu! Now I know I'm afraid..."
Zhao Guanren smiled proudly: "I've been helping you set things right, the real culprit has been handed over to you, but you actually put the pot of shit on my head, how much benefit did you take from the Bian family, and how dare you cut off my brother?" Shunchao's fundamental lifeline is crooked, right?"
"No no no! It's not me, it's him, it's all his doing..."
Wang Zhifu suddenly pointed to Hu Xiancheng in the audience, and said anxiously: "This government listened to the slander of the villain, and all this was arranged by him. He said that the evidence was complete, so the government followed his words. How do you know?" ... How do you know that he is making a false accusation!"
"not me!"
Hu Xiancheng was also anxious, waved his hands and shouted: "Mr. Zhang! No, Mr. Zhao, you know me. I have been following your arrangements. It was that... it was Bian Xianglan from the Bian family who came to me and said that there was evidence of your crime. , I believe it in a moment of confusion!"
"Come here! Take Bian Xianglan in..."
Zhao Guanren suddenly pointed to the door, and the county government officer who had been waiting for a long time stepped forward immediately, and pushed Bian Xianglan in roughly, but Bian Xianglan yelled: "I am the daughter-in-law of Prince Duan, the princess of the county with a marriage contract, I see Who dares to be rude to me!"
"What a county princess, I won't beat you today..."
Zhao Guanren smiled and pointed at the cheap sister-in-law, and said: "Take the widow and the cook of the Zhang family down, take off their trousers and beat them with 20 boards each, and send them back after opening their buttocks. I want to take a good look at them. Who ordered them?" !"
"My lord, don't fight, I said I said..."
The cook cried out quickly: "Bian's family gave me five hundred taels to send the poisonous powder to Zuixianlou and frame you. They wanted Yu Niang to deliver it, but Yu Niang refused to do so, so they asked me to send it to you. Forcibly abducting Yuniang, the servants are afraid to do so!"
"I said it too! I said it too..."
The widow of the Zhang family said anxiously: "I was invited early in the morning to let me identify your appearance. I recognized that you were not Zhang Tiansheng, but he
But they didn't let me report it, and asked me to wait for their notification. It was also the Bian family, Liu Dongsheng, the treasurer of the Bian family! "
"Bian Xianglan!"
Zhao Guanren pointed at Bian Xianglan, who had a livid face, and said angrily, "You'd better get someone to bring Yuniang back to me right now. If she loses a single hair, I'll let your whole family bury her with her!"
"To be buried with you is to be buried with you! My Bian family is not a soft persimmon, it's not so easy to pinch..."
Bian Xianglan said harshly: "The surname is Zhao! You know that it has nothing to do with my Bian family, but you are still aggressive again and again. Isn't it because the Xie family has given you a lot of benefits, but this is not about money. You want to destroy my Bian family The whole clan, you are forcing us to fight you hard!"
"Bian Xianglan! I never said that your family is the real murderer..."
Zhao Guanren said with his hands behind his back: "I always rely on the facts when handling cases, and all the officials in the hall can testify. I have always said that the incident happened outside your Bian family's house, but there is a possibility of framing it, but you can't wait to jump out. Trying to frame this official in vain is really self-inflicted!"
"It's true that I never said it, I just said that I will continue to dig deeper..."
Qian Tongzhi nodded slightly, and other officials also nodded one after another. Song Chizhu even said: "You are all in harmony with Hu County Cheng, you can ask Hu County Cheng, Zhang... Mr. Zhao also said in the daytime that this You can't make decisions lightly, and you have never said that your Bian family is the real murderer!"
"This matter can't be said indiscriminately, I really haven't said it..."
Hu Xiancheng also nodded his head bitterly, and now Bian Xianglan not only couldn't get off the stage, but his face was even more stiff and blue, so he could only bite the bullet and say: "This person has never grown hair, and his accent is different from mine. Quite suspicious, I don't believe he is a black guard!"
"Everyone in the county knows that my hair was set on fire..."
Zhao Guanren laughed contemptuously and said: "Forget it! It's useless to talk too much, owner of Zuixian Tower, you should prepare more food, and don't let the people who are hearing the trial outside starve you, bring all the food that can be eaten in your building, I'll give you the money, and we'll wait for Lord Qianhu while eating!"
"Forget about the money! As long as the adults handle it impartially and clean up the grievances of the villains..."
The owner of Zuixianlou hurriedly got up, clutched his buttocks and ran out crookedly. After the officials looked at each other, Qian Tongzhi said, "The black-clothed guard is the holy guard. Chen Qianhu is no stranger to you. Let's wait for him to make a decision!"
"Yes! Such important matters should be left to Chen Qianhu..."
The officials all nodded in agreement, the magistrate Wang frowned and couldn't say anything more, the yamen servants hurriedly moved the tables and chairs, let the officials sit down one after another, and lit a few more oil lamps for the common people to light up.
There are no entertainment activities in this era, and the common people are all idle. When they heard that Zhao Guanren was going to give out food, they immediately surrounded the yamen, and some people even used ladders to lie on top of the wall to watch. It was even worse than holding a temple fair. lively.
"Father! Why are you here..."
Bian Xianglan suddenly exclaimed, only to see that the black and white crowd parted a road, Bian Yuanwai was actually helped in by the nurse and the third aunt, and the little officials stood up to salute, after all, he was a fifth-rank member, and he bought it. The official should also give face.
"huh~"
Officer Bian went to the left side and sat down on a grand teacher's chair, holding an eagle-headed staff with both hands, staring at Zhao Guanren and said in a cold voice: "Today, the old man is here to see with his own eyes how this yellow-mouthed boy framed my Bian family. , bring up the imperial gifts to this old man!"
"yes!"
The two nurses quickly carried a long crate, and when it was opened, it contained an "iron tile", which was densely engraved with many words. Seeing this, all the officials hurriedly gathered in the center of the hall, kneeling in unison Come down and shout long live.
"what's that?"
Zhao Guanren kicked a small official who was kneeling beside him, and the other party said urgently, "Kneel down quickly! The iron coupon of the alchemy book bestowed by the emperor, commonly known as the gold medal for avoiding death!"
"I go!"
Zhao Guanren was dumbfounded and said: "No wonder the old fox's waist is so hard, so he is holding a piece of king bomb..."
