Under the candlelight, Zhu Shiyong, the prefect of Luzhou, unfolded the paper, carefully peeled off the first layer with a knife, revealing the second layer full of fly's heads, and looked at the candle flame over and over again, with a smile on his face.
"The criminal Wu Wuge was originally a servant of the Luzhou Mansion, and he likes to play money and drink on weekdays, and on the day of the Yamen's salary last month, he gambled in the Dongshi gambling house, lost all the salary of the month and bought public property on his body for a total of five and six hundred wen, because he was worried that he would not be able to go home and explain to the Hun family and the public family, and saw that Qin Dalang, a gambling friend on weekdays, made a generous move, so he borrowed money from Qin Dalang to make up for the loopholes."
"Qin Dalang borrowed money from Wu Wu Ge to make six times to solve his urgent need, but he asked him to return it before three days, and the debt collection was very urgent, Wu Wu Ge had no money to return and then delayed perfunctory, Qin Dalang was angry and threatened to inform the Yamen of the matter and Wu Wuge's family, Wu Wu had no choice but to have evil thoughts."
"On the evening of the eighth day of the first month of June, the criminal Wu Wuge asked Qin Dalang to drink at the restaurant on the grounds of repaying the money, and after getting drunk, he was helped to the northwest corner of Datong Hutong and strangled him to death, and the body was hidden in the loess gang of Xicheng undercover', so he was clever, fabricated a suicide note, transported his body to the river in the south of the city to throw the body, and put the suicide note into the corpse's arms on the occasion of the autopsy, so as to blame Su Xiaoguan. ”
"At this point, this case has come to light, Wu Wuge escaped debts and killed people and blamed the innocent is really heinous, and he should be sentenced to capital punishment according to the law.
Below the confession is Wu Wuge's autograph, Zhu Shiyong read it again, and after confirming that there are no more loopholes, he put the confession on the desk and said loudly: "People come to ......"
The teacher respectfully lifted the curtain from the outside, lowered his hand and said, "What do you command?" ”
"This is Wu Wuge's confession, take it to Lord Feng of the Criminal Department to handle it in accordance with the law, and inform all your adults that a notice will be posted at noon tomorrow to publicize it to the people." Zhu Shiyong picked up the teacup, blew the tip of the green tea floating on it, and took a sip with a 'sting'.
The master took the paper, skimmed it quickly, his lips twitched, as if he had something to say, but finally held back, agreed, and bowed down to withdraw.
"Liu Shilang knelt outside for a while." Zhu Shiyong said to the master's rickety body.
The master turned around and said, "Yes, my lord, Liu Jiaotou has been kneeling for half an hour. ”
"Call him in." Zhu Shiyong said lightly.
After a while, Liu Jiao hung his head and came in like a wrong elementary school student, and as soon as he entered the door, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed, and said with a crying voice: "Adult, spare the little one this time, I really don't want to scold you, I have been arguing with the Hun family and me in the past few days, and my head is going to crack open, and I am confused; Adult, you should be barked at twice by the dog, and spare the villain. ”
Zhu Shiyong said: "What are you doing here?" Hurry up, didn't you just scold the official twice? Is this official such a small person? ”
Liu Jiao was confused and refused to get up suspiciously; Zhu Shiyong raised his hand and motioned for him to get up and speak, and then Liu Prison got up and came to Zhu Shiyong's side timidly.
"Don't be so cautious, the official has long forgotten about it, not only will he not punish you, but he will reuse you in the future, saying that I will have a vacancy here after a while, and the official is considering whether to promote you to the top of the vacancy."
"Thank you for your cultivation, and you should do your best to drive your lords, go up the knife mountain, go down to the sea of fire, drill the oil pot, and frown, I Liu Shilang is not a mother."
Liu Cell Head was so excited that he didn't choose to speak, this is an opportunity, although the cell head has some oil and water, but the officials are not officials and people, they are not up or down, and they are really wretched to deal with prisoners every day, and they stare at everyone when they see it, and they are not less troubled by this matter, and they are not less scolded by the Hun family; The prefect actually intends to cultivate, this is like a golden doll falling from the sky.
Zhu Shiyong smiled and said, "What does the official want you to do in the sword mountain and down the sea of fire?" Could it be that my Luzhou Mansion is a tiger's den in Longtan? This lack is a fat shortage, in charge of the tax warehouse, is the most important warehouse of my Luzhou Mansion, what is lacking is the position of deputy promotion, I don't know if you are interested? ”
"Adults are villains and regenerate parents...... Liu Jiaotou burst into tears, eager to hug Zhu Shiyong and gnaw wildly.
"Don't be happy first, the promotion officer is an important position, and it takes an extremely confidant person to take on it, and the official is a little hesitant whether you can do it."
"With the help of adults, the future of the villain depends on the adults." Liu Prison said hurriedly.
"Do you really want to?"
"A small dream."
"Okay, go and help me do something, and if it's done, I'll promote you to this deputy position." Zhu Shiyong looked at Liu Shilang and said.
"Your Excellency, please command." Liu Shilang bowed and said.
"Immediately go to the prison and dispose of the former government officials as Wu Wuge, and your hands and feet must be clean." Zhu Shiyong lowered his voice and stared at Liu Shilang with eagle-like eyes.
"Place...... Reason? Liu Shilang didn't understand what it meant for a while.
Zhu Shiyong stretched out his hand and made a 'click' gesture and looked at him without blinking.
Liu Shilang is a spirit, and he is cold, don't look at what he does on weekdays, but there are no deaths under him, he really wants to kill, but his calves and stomach play the pipa, and he trembles a little.
"Scared? If you're afraid, you can step down, forget what the official said, and treat it as a joke. Zhu Shiyong's eyes became indifferent, turned his head and flipped through the files on the case, and ignored him no more.
Liu Shilang really wanted to turn around and flee from here, but he understood that as long as he walked out of this room, his life would be over, and it was a trivial matter if he lost his errand, and if he didn't get it right, he would die.
Liu Shilang's mind boiled like boiling water, weighing the pros and cons, and finally a sentence came to mind and quickly prevailed: "Wealth and danger are sought." ”
"Adult, the villain did ......," Liu Shilang gritted his teeth and said.
"Don't be reluctant, there is no turning back when you open the bow, you can't turn back if you do it, but you don't have to worry, the sky is falling, my lord and I are on top of it, and my adult's life is worth more than yours." Zhu Shiyong said lightly.
"Villain...... Understand, you say, how? The muscles on Liu Shilang's face were tangled, and the pieces were twisted under the light, and it was very terrifying when it was bright and dark.
"Go and get a rope, hang it on the top of the fence, and fake it as a suicide, and after reporting it, the official will be convicted of suicide for fear of crime." Zhu Shiyong's tone was flat, as if he was not talking about killing people, but about disposing of a kitten and a puppy.
"The villain obeys!" Liu Shilang bowed and withdrew, and hurriedly left the house.

Su Jin invited Li Chongtong to visit Bao Zheng for several days, but he returned in disappointment because Bao Zheng did not return, and Su Jin's purpose in meeting Bao Zheng was naturally to ask Bao Zheng to help him introduce him to the Luzhou Mansion and obtain the recommended status to participate in the Autumn Examination.
During the Song Dynasty, the identity of Xiucai did not need to be tested like the previous or later dynasties, but was recommended by the local school to recognize the qualifications, and after participating in the government examination, whether it was or not, it could be called Xiucai, so the streets and alleys often made fun of the people who did not take the government examination as "not the first Xiucai", which was deeply ridiculed.
However, there is still a limit on the number of students who can participate in the government examination in each place, and this right is in the hands of the students.
Since Bao Zheng is not there, Su Jin is not willing to take the liberty of looking for Lord Tixue by himself, he has a mustard with the prefect, who knows what kind of character this Lord Tixue is, in case it is a raccoon dog, he boldly goes, but there is no room for rejection.
Taking advantage of his free time, Su Jin pulled Li Chong to talk with Hefeng Lou, Li Chong was a person who had participated in the imperial examination, Su Jin wanted to give himself a literacy from him, after all, it was not clear what to test in the exam, so how could he talk about anything else.
Yan Biyun occasionally came to sit with her for a while, since that day Su Jin was drunk and forcibly hugged her to sleep for an afternoon, saliva made other people's chests sticky, the two were a little embarrassed to meet, and occasionally when they met their eyes, they blushed and quickly moved away, as if they had done something wrong.
Yan Biyun seems to be very busy during this time, every time someone comes to report things in a whisper after sitting for a while, Yan Biyun has to leave with a smile; Su Jin secretly wondered, would Hefeng Lou have so many things that the owner needed to deal with? The Yan family is said to have business all over the world, all like this, Yan Biyun's life is hard enough, don't these shopkeepers use their brains?
