"Since this person is so rampant, why didn't the magistrate bring this person to justice." The general judge still said tepidly, and Zhou Hu said the words he had prepared. said that this Sai Meng tasted that there was some spare money at home, and under the top and bottom, the county magistrate also turned a blind eye.

Hearing this, the general judge was indifferent, and he asked Zhou Hu: "Is there any evidence?" ”

"The little brother was injured by him, as long as you call him, he will never deny it."

"In that case, have you written your paper?"

Zhou Hu handed over the pleadings that had been prepared a long time ago, and after the general judge picked it up, he looked at it, then threw it back, and said to Zhou Hu: "What you wrote, take it back, and rewrite it." ”

Zhou Hu wondered, this was written by the best master in Yong'an City for one or two silver.

When Zhou Hu was about to say something, the housekeeper said please go back and let Zhou Hu leave here.

After leaving the yamen, Zhou Hu found the master and said angrily: "What kind of paper did you write, Lord Tongju asked me to take it back and ask you to rewrite it." ”

After hearing this, Zhou Hu threw the paper on the face of the master and said to him: "The paper is here, what else do you have to say, if you take the silver, you have to do something, and now this matter is not successful, you can also get the silver back for me." ”

"Zhou Xianggong, don't worry, you can tell me the ins and outs of the matter."

Zhou Hu finally finished speaking patiently, but after listening to it, the master understood, and said to Zhou Hu: "Zhou Xianggong, this is your mistake, you said that you are familiar with the doorway of the yamen, and I didn't tell you, you have to have a silver ticket on this paper." Without a silver ticket, how can the judge be accepted. ”

"This, this, this is in front of everyone, it's not good to hand over the silver ticket."

"What's wrong, who dares to go to the prefect to complain, the so-called officials protect each other, this servant is a lowly person, and he is the first to sue the master, this is the following high, and he will have to be forty rods first."

After Zhou Hu listened, he sandwiched a silver ticket in the paper the next day, and after seeing the silver ticket, the general judge said to Zhou Hu: "This paper can be used, order a few people, go and arrest the surnamed Meng, and by the way, tell the county order, some money can be taken, some money can not be taken, this everyone is an official, it is for the saint to guard the land and the people, and if there is any villain who is a traitor, he must be severely punished." ”

Zhou Hu was overjoyed, and the general judgment let Zhou Hu stay here, and when Sai Mengwei brought it, he had to let him go to court to confront him.

Zhou Hu said yes, thinking that if this judgment was made, then the rest of the things would be easy to do.

Sai Mengwei didn't know that Zhou Yuanwai had bypassed the magistrate and went directly to Tongju, and as usual, he chatted with the diners in the Zhuangzi.

When the headcatcher rushed in viciously, Sai Mengwei was still confused, and said to the catcher: "This poor master, I don't know what crime I have committed, let a few big drivers come here." ”

"You are Meng Zhengzhu?" The head catcher didn't answer, and asked.

Sai Mengwei was also in danger, let people take the silver, handed it to the head catcher, the head catcher saw the white silver, the original evil spirit suddenly turned into a kind spirit, and the catcher quickly said to Sai Mengwei: "Master Mengzhuang, it was the general judge who asked us to come." We don't dare to say more, and please forgive me. ”

"Your Excellency? The little one understands, I don't know if you can give the little one a little time and explain a little thing. ”

"Naturally, you can, but Master Meng Zhuang, you can rest assured, Lord Tong is an extremely sensible and well-informed person, as long as Master Meng Zhuang is innocent, then he will naturally be acquitted."

Sai Meng said that he knew, and then told the butler: "After I leave, you will give the money and silver to Ge Xianggong, who has read and knows how to do it." ”

"Young master, we can also go and take care of it."

"You are okay in the county seat, if you go to the general judgment yamen, I am afraid that there will be some mistakes, and it will not be beautiful at that time."

Sai Mengwei has no contact with anyone in the capital, and he doesn't know what to do, but he has this silver, and how to send it is also a means.

After Sai Mengwei and the Yamen were about to leave, some of the diners were worried about what had happened, so they took their leave of the housekeeper to avoid getting into trouble.

The housekeeper did not keep these people, and after sending them away, he found Ge Guangmu and saluted Ge Guangmu.

Ge Guangmu didn't even dare to ask, and asked the housekeeper what was going on, and the housekeeper said that he didn't know, and Sai Mengwei hoped that Ge Guangmu could come forward to deal with it, and the money and silver in this village could be used by Ge Guangmu at will.

Ge Guangmu said that if this Saimeng taste is not wrong, then there is no need to spend silver. If there is a mistake, it is useless no matter how much money there is.

When the housekeeper heard this, his heart was half cold, and he thought that Ge Guangmu was really pedantic.

But now he can only be a dead horse as a live horse doctor, he told Ge Guangmu that in this world, there are three kinds of people who cannot be judged by common sense.

The first type is a hypocritical person, this kind of person is full of bad water, but he is smiling, a group of harmony, like a great good person, if you suffer a loss, you tell others, others will say no, isn't he a good person? Unless he really suffers a loss, he knows his viciousness. This kind of person is the most powerful, can make you suffer, you don't know it, but thank him, think that he is helping you, a good person.

The second is the inferior gentry and evil tycoons, who befriend officials, grab land, and run rampant. Or forge deeds and seize the property. or embezzle money and grain, arbitrarily cut off the country. If you tell him, the master of this yamen is his brother who changed posts, and the scribe soap is his confidant and friend, you go in with reason and come out without reason.

The third category is corrupt officials and corrupt officials, these people have traitors above them to take care of, and their bosses do not dare to participate in him casually. Who in this subordinate dares to say that he is not, so he can only let him reverse black and white and exploit the small people. He recognized not the conscience of heaven and earth, but the treasures of gold and silver. As long as you have silver, even if you have the evil of stealing, he will treat you as a saint like Megumi Yanagishita. You don't have any money, even if you have the Qing of Boyi, he will judge you as a Zhuang Qiao.

Now this Yi'an Mansion is sentenced, judging from the housekeeper, it is the third kind of person, as long as there is enough silver, you are innocent. If you don't have enough money, no matter how reasonable you are, you will have to close it for three or five years.

"Butler, if you say so, there will be no royal law in this world?"

"Wang Fa, Ge Xianggong, this silver is Wang Fa."

Ge Guangmu thought of what happened to him before, and suddenly found that the housekeeper was right, and he was able to be innocent several times, all of which were the effect of silver. He couldn't help but be a little skeptical of the sage books he had read before.

Ge Guangmu said that he wanted to think about it, so he found Yang Feiyun and asked what should be done about this matter, Yang Feiyun thought about it and told Ge Guangmu: "We still have to help Sai Meng taste this matter, since you are familiar with Master Fan, it is better to let Master Fan help." ”

Ge Guangmu thought about it, this prefect still owes him a favor in name, and this favor does not need to be used in vain.

So Ge Guangmu changed out of his robe, asked for some silk clothes, he dressed it up, and then took a carriage to Yong'an City.

Entering Yong'an City, he did not go to find the rose girl, but went straight to Master Fan's house, who saw Ge Guangmu visiting and warmly received Ge Guangmu.

After the two sides sat down, Master Fan asked with a smile; "Ge Xianggong, have you come back from Xijing City?"

"No, it's not a secret, I've been living in a friend's house these days, but I didn't expect this person to sit at home, and disaster came from heaven.

After hearing this, Master Fan was surprised and said: "Since there is such a thing, Lord Tongju is in the name of justice in the city, and the people call him Qingtian. ”

"Presumably, the general judge was deceived by his subordinates, Xiaosheng has no merit and fame, so it is inconvenient to enter the yamen, meet the general judge, and ask Master Fan for your help to intercede."

When Ge Guangmu said this, he saluted to Master Fan, then took out two night pearls, and said to Master Fan: "Xiaosheng recently got these two pearls, but he doesn't know how to enjoy them, and it is a waste to stay on his body. ”

After Master Fan accepted it, he said to Ge Guangmu: "Does Ge Xianggong still live in Yusheng Garden?" ”

"Yes, if Master Fan has news for you, you will go to Yushengyuan to inform Xiaosheng."

Master Fan said naturally, naturally, and the next day, he went to the general judge's house, and the general judge was playing chess, and when he saw Master Fan, he said: "Old Fan, you are finally here, why didn't your son come today." ”

"The little dog didn't know where he heard that Qingzhang had a master, so he went to find that person to learn chess skills."

"Really? Shimin, this kid, is a good player in chess. In the future, I will definitely be able to go to the chess academy and become a national player. ”

"What kind of national player can that kid be, adult, you carry love, love."

The two sides exchanged pleasantries, and the general judgment was still playing Go with himself, and only after a catastrophe was formed, did he ask: "Nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, Lao Fan, you, the prefect's guest, what is the so-called matter when you come to me now?" ”

"My lord, look at what you said, the prefect needs the help of the small one, and the small one will help, and what kind of guest can be called there. But my lord, this time I came, and there was something about the small one. My lord, have you recently arrested a man surnamed Meng? ”

"It seems that this surnamed Meng has some means to please you. Yes, this is the form paper, you see. ”

After Mr. Fan read it, he said to the judge: "I don't know how you will judge?" ”

"Is this official the kind of foolish official who doesn't let people investigate, and just listens to one side of the story?"

Fan Shimin said that he didn't dare, and then said that someone could guarantee that this Sai Mengwei was a good person and would never do these things.
