The Shuntian Mansion retried the murder case of Zeng Si today, and naturally it could not escape the eyes and ears of those who had a heart, and every move in the Shuntian Mansion Court was also quickly transmitted from the north of the city back to the south of the city.

Huaishu Hutong, Xufu.

After Xu Fan took a turn around the yamen of Dachang Temple, he was tired of this idle job, but he chose to return home. After returning home, he immediately sent someone to pay attention to the movement in the north of the city, and wanted to know the outcome of the matter.

Although the Xu Mansion had severed its relationship with He Jiu, no matter whether Lin Haoran found evidence to convict He Jiu or not, he would not have anything to do with their Xu family in the end, but he felt uneasy in his heart.

But I don't know when it began, this kid who was once despised by him has become his inner demon, always bringing him a devastating news on a quiet day.

From Yin Huang Zhongda and Liu Ji of Shuntian Mansion, to Gao Yao, the former head of the household department who had just been demoted to Nanjing, it was this kid from a poor background who was suddenly beheaded under the horse.

"Xu Shaoqing, contemptible people are bothered!"

Chen Boren, president of the Lianghuai Chamber of Commerce, came to visit with a generous gift, followed the housekeeper to the living room, and respectfully bowed his hand to Xu Fan on the master's seat.

After losing Gao Yao, the pillar of the pillar, Chen Boren has been very active recently, not only often haunting the house of the Ministry of Rites, but also running to Xufu.

Xu Fan also had a good impression of the generous president of the Chamber of Commerce, let go of the little worry in his heart, raised his hand enthusiastically and said, "President Chen, please take a seat!" ”

Chen Boren went to the Three Treasures Hall this time, but he wanted to officially meet Xu Jie.

Although Xu Jie stabbed Gao Yao, he didn't want to break off the cooperation between the two sides, after all, interests were above all else. He still hoped to help Xu Jie overthrow Yan Song, and Xu Jie later helped them get rid of Yan Maoqing and restore the old system of only 600,000 taels of surplus salt.

"Young master, it's not good!"

Chen Boren was about to make a formal request to meet with Xu Jie, but saw a figure barging in from outside and crying loudly.

Xu Fan was experiencing the refreshing feeling of the "head of the family", but was pulled back to reality by this "young master", and immediately reprimanded the servant who broke in: "What's the matter? Panicked, what a system! ”

When the servant saw that there were guests present, he swallowed back the words that had been spit in his throat and came to Xu Fan's side to report in a whisper.

"What?"

Xu Fan immediately blurted out in shock, with an unbelievable expression on his face, and the whole person sat there stunned.

Hey?

Chen Boren was about to put the tea in his mouth, but he couldn't help but stop, and looked up at Xu Fan suspiciously. He just raised his ears and faintly heard the words "Shuntian Mansion Ya", but he didn't know what kind of storm that kid had stirred up.

Time back, in the lobby of the Shuntian Mansion.

In the face of Zeng Aniu's evidence, He Jiu refused to admit it, leaving the case faintly in an impasse. Lin Haoran did not settle the case, nor did he intend to use a major punishment against He Jiu, but called a witness again.

After a while, a villager with an unattractive appearance appeared, and he was the newly found witness of Lin Haoran.

He Jiu seemed to be planning to fight to the end, and although he recognized the villager at a glance, he only snorted lightly. Not to mention, he doesn't think it's an eyewitness, even if it's really an eyewitness, then he still continues to bite the bullet and deny it.

But I want to see what this Lin Fu Yin can do with him, and what he will do with another substitute ghost!

"Grass people Yao San, meet Lord Fu Yin!"

This villager named Yao San came to the hall and said honestly.

Lin Haoran looked at this unattractive villager and asked in a deep voice, "Yao San, you said that you knew He Jiu's motive for killing Zeng Si, but is that so?" ”

"Exactly!" Yao San replied seriously.

"Yao San, you drank too much horse urine, right? Lao Tzu has no intersection with Zeng Si, let alone has no grudges, how could he be killed by him! He Jiu glanced at Yao San and said innocently.

Yao San watched He Jiu crawl on the ground in embarrassment, and his heart was already a little less afraid, and he immediately said seriously: "Why did you kill Zeng Si?" That's because Zeng Si bumped into you and led someone to destroy the river embankment, so you want to kill him! ”

What the? Destroying the embankment? Kill somebody to do away with a witness?

When the people and scholars in the hall heard this, they all gasped. Dare to love This is not only a homicide case, but also a shocking case of destroying embankments and flooding fields, He Jiu killed Zeng Si in order to extinguish his mouth.

"Yao San, what nonsense are you talking about!" When He Jiu heard that it was this confession, his whole face changed instantly, and he immediately stood up from the ground and said angrily.

Yao San ignored the murderous eyes, and said to Lin Haoran sincerely: "Lord Mingjian! Last year's heavy rain, the villain was worried about the lack of embankment, so he also braved the rain to go up to the embankment to check, but saw He Jiu and a group of people secretly destroying the embankment there! Speaking of this, he stretched out his finger and pointed at He Jiu and complained: "The villain hid tightly, so He Jiu didn't see the villain, but He Jiu should have seen Zeng Si at that time, and he later killed Zeng Si." ”

"What nonsense are you talking about? I destroyed the embankment that day and didn't see Zeng Si at all! He Jiu retorted loudly.

As soon as these words came out, there was silence all around, and everyone looked at the furious He Jiu in disbelief.

After He Jiu vented the "grievances" in his mind, he suddenly realized something, and hurriedly reached out to cover his mouth, but it was obviously too late. The people around him stared at him deadly, and the scribe of the torture room held back the shock and wrote it down on paper.

"He actually destroyed the embankment!"

"What a wreck! This kind of person really deserves a thousand cuts! ”

"I, the state of etiquette, have such a beast!"

……

After being shocked, the people and scholars in the hall condemned He Jiu one after another.

Lin Haoran was condescending, looking at He Jiu, who was like a deflated ball, and said loudly: "He Jiu, this mansion Yin doesn't care if you saw Zeng Si when you destroyed the embankment that day, but the fact that you killed Zeng Si is there, and you still committed the evil act of destroying the embankment in a big way, you can't escape the blame today!" ”

He Jiu wanted to lick back what he had just said, but it was obviously impossible, and his face showed remorse. He wanted to slap his mouth hard at this time, and he was really killed by this unobstructed stinky mouth.

Lin Haoran looked at the silent He Jiu, and asked coldly: "He Jiu, now that you have the motive to kill Zeng Si, and Zeng Aniu witnessed you killing Zeng Si, do you admit your guilt?" ”

"I plead not guilty!" He Jiu still chose to insist, but he no longer had the confidence he had just now.

Lin Haoran didn't seem to force it, but announced to everyone in the hall: "In view of the suspect's repeated denial, and the suspect's admission to the evil act of destroying the embankment, this official will report this matter to the Son of Heaven and retry it at a later date!" ”

The matter involves the destruction of the embankment, and the scope is too extensive, and this kind of case is usually handed over to the local Qin to investigate, which is no longer a matter that Lin Haoran, the Yin of Shuntian Mansion, can adjudicate.

In the end, he slapped the hall again and said, "Retreat!" ”

At this point, it is not the end of the matter, it can be said that it has just begun. With Lin Haoran's startled sound, the sound seemed to go straight to the sky, causing Songjiang Mansion thousands of miles away to turn up terrifying waves.
