Chapter 260: The Suspicion of the Post Station (Yet)
Early the next morning, everyone got up early, washed and dressed, and took their places according to the arrangement.
Yan Shu sat in the hall, Fu Bi, Su Jin, Yan Biyun and several accompanying soldiers sat on both sides, waiting for the arrival of Pang De, the county commander of Zhexian County.
When the first rays of autumn sun fell on the earth, the soldiers looking from the stone tower came with news that a group of people from the north was heading towards the post station, and it was already less than two miles away.
Fu Bi repeatedly ordered his soldiers to hide behind the front hall of the hospital, and the rest of the people pulled horses and loaded the cart, creating the illusion that everything was normal and setting off.
Pang De led more than a dozen subordinate officials and squires into the courtyard, and before he entered the hall door, he said with a smile on his face: "Lord Sansi got up so early, and the lower officials thought that when they arrived here, the adults might have just gotten up." ”
Yan Shu smiled slightly and said: "Shijun Zhilu, how dare you be greedy and lazy, Pang County's order is also very early today, this can work you, in fact, I have already said yesterday, I don't need you to send the old man, but you don't listen." ”
Pang De said with a smile: "Shangguan passes through this county, how can the lower officials not treat each other reverently, this county is barren, although there is nothing to respect, but this human etiquette can not be avoided, the lower officials have a few thin gifts, please smile and accept the three divisions and the accompanying adults, it is not a respect, it is not a respect." ”
With a wave of his hand, the officials behind him carried a few large boxes, which looked very heavy, and obviously contained a lot of gifts.
Yan Shu laughed and said: "Pang County's order is hospitality, Shangguan always has to give gifts when he passes through here, I guess it must not be wine in this box." ”
Pound was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "Of course it's not wine, it's just some ordinary things." What is there to give wine, I have heard for a long time that the three divisions love to drink two glasses, and there must be a collection of famous products at home, and there is no good wine here in the small county, so I really can't take it. ”
Yan Shu looked at him sideways and said, "Is there really no wine?" The official was greatly disappointed, I heard that there is a good wine in Zhexian County that is very delicious, and it is a pity that you can't drink it. ”
Pound said suspiciously: "There is good wine in this county?" Why didn't the lower officials know? ”
Yan Shu waved his hand and said, "If you don't believe it, ask everyone, who here doesn't know that you have good wine in Zhe County." ”
Pang De looked at Fu Bi suspiciously, Fu Bi smiled and nodded, and then looked at Su Jin, Su Jin nodded like a chicken pecking rice, looked at Yan Biyun, Yan Biyun also bowed slightly.
"And this? The adults said the name of the wine, and they had to get a few jars for the adults to taste, the official was lonely, and he really didn't know what good wine there was in the small county. Pound was puzzled and surprised.
"Su Jin, tell him what the name of the wine is."
Su Jin smiled and said: "Pang County Ling is really stingy, this wine is not only very famous, but also made by the adults themselves, but I don't know if it is because Lord Sansi and all the adults here are not qualified to drink this wine." ”
Pang De became more and more confused, and said with a smile on his face: "I have heard for a long time that Lord Sansi is witty and funny, but when I saw it today, I realized that the adult was really like this, and I laughed, laughed." ”
Su Jin said: "Lord Sansi didn't joke with you, the name of the wine is 'a bowl of pouring', which is said to be more powerful than Yanggu County's 'bottle incense', and the bottle of incense is said to be 'three bowls are not post', and the 'bowl of pouring' of Pang County's order climbed down after drinking a bowl, which is three times more powerful." ”
Pound De looked suspicious on his face, and squeezed out a smile and said, "It turns out that this little brother is here for amusement in this county." ”
Su Jin sneered and said sharply: "What about entertaining you?" Why can't we drink that wine? ”
Pound's face changed greatly, and he turned around and was about to run out, when Fu Bi shouted: "Take them." ”
Dozens of pro-soldiers suddenly poured out of all directions, surrounding the more than 20 people brought by Pound, and the shackles and chains rattled and rattled, all tied together like crabs.
Pound shouted, "Lord Sansi, why is this? This official is also an official of the imperial court, so why should he take me if he has no official documents from the court and no evidence of guilt? ”
Yan Shu shouted: "You think of yourself as a character, what more official documents do you want?" Proof? You'll see it right away. Take him to the courtyard and wait for Master Bao to come. ”
Pang Dewu shouted to himself: "Yan Shu, you are overstepping your authority, if you want to take me, you need the Ministry of Punishment to take me, you are a person in the three divisions, and you have no right to take me." ”
Fu Bi laughed and said, "Am I qualified?" This official is the servant of the Criminal Department, Fu Bi, is it enough to take your small county order? ”
Pound shouted: "Take what I need and have evidence, take people for no reason, and despise the laws and regulations of the court?" ”
"Are you worthy to talk about law and order? Why didn't you say the law when you brought the sweat medicine to stun the people at the inn? You colluded with bandits to design and kill Lord Tang Jie, why don't you say the law? Why didn't you say the law when you slaughtered sixteen escorts? Why didn't you talk about the law and discipline of the court when you threatened Liu Youlun and other post station personnel to form an offensive and defensive alliance and lie about the case? Tell you that everything you have is under our control, and honest confession of sin is your only way out. ”
Pound was still stumbling, and when he heard Fu Bi tell everything, he suddenly collapsed to the ground like a deflated ball; I heard the sound of chains in my ears, and when I raised my eyes, Liu Youlun led more than 20 dejected postmen behind him, and Pang De knew that the general trend was gone, and his eyes rolled up and he fainted.
After Bao Zheng listened to Yan Shu's words, he looked at Su Jin's eyes differently, and said with his thumb raised: "Yes, I have a lot of thoughts, just rely on your two times, there is no problem in being a qualified parent official." ”
Su Jin can get Bao Zheng's appreciation, this is the first time in the world, just want to be humble a few words, then listen to Bao Zheng: "However, you dare to judge the case without even finding the evidence, it is really confused." ”
This sentence is not only talking about Su Jin, but even Yan Shu Fubi is also included, Yan Shu has long been used to Bao Zheng's way of speaking, and he doesn't care, but he is surprised that Bao Zheng can find anything.
Su Jin said unconvinced: "Master Bao, the case is as innocent as water, what else is there to say." ”
Bao Zheng said: "You only have witnesses to prove that Pang De stunned everyone, but you can't prove who killed Tang Jie, and the death of those guards is just your reasonable speculation, but speculation can't condemn you." ”
Su Jin hurriedly said: "Aren't the traces of the feet of the ladders outside the courtyard wall evidence that the killer has entered and exited?" ”
Bao Zheng sighed: "Traces are naturally evidence, but what have you done for these evidences?" Since the incident, it has been sunny and rainless, if it rained last night, would this trace still exist? If you find out, you should protect it immediately, how can you ignore it like this. ”
Su Jin's face flushed, and he said in his heart: "I didn't expect this. But he was not convinced: "Isn't it raining?" Last night the stars were shining brightly, how could it rain. ”
Bao Zheng said: "Whether there is rain or not, protecting evidence is a must to handle the case. And now that you've deduced what happened, why don't you search for the ladder? ”
Su Jin opened his mouth wide and said, "The ladder...... Can you still find it? ”
Bao Zheng was dumbfounded: "Nonsense, how can you not find it?" Will the gang take the ladder away at night? After killing someone, he was busy running away, how could he take a ladder with him? ”
Su Jin said: "Won't they destroy it?" ”
Bao Zheng nodded his face and said, "Stupid, if it is damaged, there are still fragments to follow, even if it is burned, there will be ashes left, right?" This is strong evidence to prove whether the facts of the case are consistent with the inference. ”
Everyone was stunned, Lao Bao is Lao Bao, no one can compare to him, Bao Zheng took everyone to the traces of the foot of the ladder outside the courtyard wall, looked down at the traces of the grass, and looked up at the thorns and thorns all over the top of the wall, and suddenly ordered: "Come on, search for a ladder and straw mat, or straw mat and other items within a radius of three miles from the post station, if it is turned into pieces, bring all the pieces back, if it is turned into ashes, then do not touch it, leave someone to guard, and come back quickly to report." ”
Fu Bi hurriedly asked, "Lord Bao, why are you searching for items like straw mats?" ”
Bao Zheng laughed and said, "Master Fu, can you bear those thorns and iron thorns standing on the wall?" It's definitely going to be a stepping stone. ”
Su Jin was ashamed to death, this old bag is simply a monster, Nima himself thought he was amazing, and he was still negligent everywhere when he came here.
Sure enough, in a barren grass two miles to the northwest, an intact ladder was found, and there were four or five grass futons scattered in the grass around it.
Yan Shu sighed: "Breaking the case, Bao Zheng is the first person in the world, I have to bow to the wind, forget it, we can't help here, the sun is high, don't move again, before the sun sets, you won't be able to get to the chicken station, the old man is gone." ”
Bao Zheng hurriedly handed him over and said: "In any case, you have done Bao a great favor, there must be extremely important clues and evidence from this Pang De's mouth, and Bao Zheng believes that a large number of hidden secrets will be dug up." ”
Yan Shu waved his hand and said: "That's your Bao Zheng's business, the old man just wants to know the result, you can write to tell the old man about the progress of this case." ”
Everyone stopped, handed over all the prisoners to Bao Zheng, and the group set off.
Su Jin was devastated, tilted his head and rode a horse to follow Yan Shu's car, Bao Zheng stopped him and said to him: "Don't be discouraged, you are already very difficult, over time, Bao will not be as good as you." ”
Su Jin bowed his hand weakly and said: "Don't comfort me, I know what kind of material I am, farewell, farewell, King Teng is a difficult master, with thousands of private soldiers under his command, adults must not take it lightly, they can't be merciful to him." ”
Bao Zheng smiled: "Have you ever seen Bao Mou be merciful to evil and evil?" A good student has a bright future. ”
