Bao Zheng put the hat on the ground, dressed his hands neatly, glanced around the hall and said: "Fathers and fellow villagers, today Bao will analyze the facts of this case for everyone, in fact, the loopholes in this case are obvious, and it only takes a small deduction and demonstration to overturn the accusations against this small official Su." ”
Everyone pondered and meditated, but they couldn't figure out why the seemingly ironclad case became a different kind of case when it came to Bao Da's mouth, and they all said: "Master Bao, tell us about it." ”
"I have heard that Lord Bao has excellent wisdom, and I can finally witness it today."
"Master Bao is out of the horse, no dirty trick can escape his fire."
The voices of the crowd were like steel needles stabbing in the hearts of Zhu Shiyong and the Chamber of Commerce, and the blood splashed everywhere; Pain after pain, at this moment, Zhu Shiyong and others can only endure themselves and watch coldly, they listen carefully to whether there are flaws and unreasonable inferences in Bao Zheng's words one by one, and once they find out, they will attack them in groups.
Bao Zheng waved his hand and said: "Everyone, silence, this is above the public court, and under the plaque of "Mirror Hanging" is the important place of the imperial court, don't be noisy. ”
The crowd quickly quieted down, Bao Zheng nodded with satisfaction, and said: "Lord Tai of Shicai Mansion said, I found a suicide note on that Qin Dalang, how about Bao Mou want to see this suicide note?" ”
The prefect looked at Zhu Shiyong with his eyes and asked for his opinion, although Zhu Shiyong was reluctant, but if he refused at this moment, he would admit that he had a ghost, nodded and whispered: "Take it to him, but be careful." ”
The implication seems to be to prevent Bao Zheng from destroying the evidence; The master was stunned for a moment, then blinked and said, "The villain understands." ”
The master carefully held up the wooden plate and came to Bao Zheng, Bao Zheng raised his hand to reveal Su Aya, although the old master's teeth were lost, he didn't expect his skills to be very agile, he turned around and quickly dodged Bao Zheng's hand, and grinned: "Lord Bao, it's better for the villain to help you uncover it." ”
Bao Zheng was such a shrewd person, he immediately understood his intentions, and his face immediately changed color.
Su Jin saw it really on the side, and said in his heart: "This Zhu Governor's Mansion is stupid enough, Lord Bao is also an official of the imperial court, how can he do anything to destroy evidence in the public, this is a typical villain's heart to spend a gentleman's belly." ”
The anger on Bao Zheng's face flashed, and then he returned to his senses, and said with his hands behind his back: "Then there will be work." ”
The master smiled and said, "It should be, it should be." At that moment, he gently uncovered Su Aya, picked up the bamboo skewer on the plate, gently picked up the folded paper, pressed it, and sent it to Bao Zheng.
Bao Zheng observed carefully, his brows flickered and tightened, and his face flickered with joy and sorrow; Hundreds of pairs of eyes up and down the lobby stared at his face, silent, and breathing.
After about half a cup of tea, Bao Zheng raised his body and said to the master, "Thank you." ”
The master said, "Finished reading?" ”
"Thank you." Bao Zheng said.
"Don't you want to look at it for a while?" The master suddenly said something, I don't know if it was polite or ridiculous.
Bao Zheng frowned and said, "You have to send it back so as not to be defaced." ”
The master was also shocked to realize that he was too talkative, and it was not good to peek at the face of Lord Fuzun, so he quickly covered Su Aya and put it back on the public case without saying a word.
"Ladies and gentlemen, this suicide note is fake." Bao Zheng's first sentence shocked the audience, except for the Su family and the Chamber of Commerce and the prefect who knew the truth, there was a sound of gasping on and off the field, no wonder Lord Bao dared to publicly shout, as long as it can be proved that this suicide note is fake, then the accusations imposed on Su Xiaoguan's body are fabricated out of thin air.
"Bao Zheng, the court is not a place for you to be honest, this word will be recorded by the master, and you will not be able to deny it." Zhu Shiyong shouted.
Bao Zheng stared at Zhu Shiyong with a pair of tiger eyes and said, "Why does Bao want to deny it? This suicide note was originally a counterfeit. ”
"How so?" Zhu Shiyong said.
"One of the doubts is that the paper used to write the suicide note is parchment paper, commonly known as white linen paper; This kind of paper is produced in only one of the Great Song Dynasty, that is, Jingzhao Mansion (Note: Chang'an City) Zhang Ji Paper Workshop, Zhang Ji Paper Factory only opened a branch in the capital, nearly half of the official and private bookstore paper in the Great Song Dynasty is from Zhang Ji Paper Workshop, but because of the long distance, and the price is expensive, so I Luzhou Mansion uses a large number of Huizhou bamboo board paper, I carefully observe, there is a Zhang Ji seal under the paper, although it is immersed in water, but it is clearly identifiable; There is no doubt that this paper was produced by Zhang Ji, and this is the point of doubt. ”
"Joke, what's so suspicious about this? I also have a piece of white linen paper in my Luzhou Mansion, although there are not many of them, but there are still them. Zhu Shiyong sneered.
"Su Xiaoguan, what kind of paper do you usually use for Su Ji?" Bao Zheng turned to Su Jin and asked.
It was the first time for Su Jin to talk face-to-face with this big celebrity in history, and he couldn't help but be a little excited and nervous, and he couldn't speak.
The shopkeeper Zhao said: "Master Bao, my young owner will not know about such trivial matters, and this matter is handled by the housekeeper of Su Mansion." ”
Bao Zheng said: "Then it's better, summon this person quickly, this person doesn't know the content of our conversation just now, just to tell the truth, how about asking Lord Zhu to send a servant to invite him?" ”
Zhu Shiyong said: "Is this necessary?" ”
Bao Zheng said: "It is better to be cautious if one person is innocent and responsible." ”
Zhu Shiyong was helpless, and said in his heart: "It depends on what tricks you do." He said to one of the officials: "Li Bantou, go to Su Mansion and call the housekeeper to come, don't let him say a word to people along the way." ”
Li Bantou hurried away as promised, and Bao Zheng shouted at his back: "It's best to get some paper patterns from Su Ji's shop." ”
After a while, Li Bantou hurriedly arrived with Su Fu, the housekeeper of the Su family, and the two of them were in a hurry, sweating hotly, and panting with their mouths open; Su Fu sandwiched a sealed cloth bag under his armpit, and everyone guessed that it was the Su family's daily paper.
Xiao Sui'er and the others did a good job of secrecy measures, Su Fu didn't know that Su Jin was arrested by the government, so he was a little surprised when he saw that Su Jin and all the big shopkeepers were in the mansion, and hurriedly saluted: "Hey, how did the young owner come to this court?" ”
Bao Zheng didn't have time to listen to his master and servant's reminiscences, so he asked, "Are you the housekeeper of Su Mansion?" ”
The chubby Su Fu's face turned hot and pale, and he swallowed his saliva and said: "Little Su Fu, Mrs. Meng will not give up the young owner, and help the Su family run errands." ”
"Su Ji's daily paper is all purchased by you, right?"
"That's not ......" Su Fu suddenly got up proudly and moved his fingers and said: "Firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, tea, pen, ink, paper, inkstone, as big as carriages and horses, as small as panxiang, which villain doesn't handle it?" ”
Su Jin frowned and said, "The problem of being too mouthy has been committed again, so answer Lord Bao's words well." ”
Su Fu was taken aback and said embarrassedly: "Returning to Lord Bao, the paper was purchased by the villain." ”
Bao Zheng said: "What kind of paper are you purchasing?" ”
Su Fu was stunned and said: "What kind of paper villain doesn't know, the villain only knows that it is the number of Huizhou merchant Zheng Qi in Luzhou, No!" That's the kind of paper. With that, he handed out the cloth bag under his armpit.
Bao Zheng stretched out his hand to uncover the cloth bag, took out a wad of pale yellow paper and looked at it: "Is it all this kind of paper?" ”
"That's not it, we and Zheng Qi are old acquaintances, his price is cheap, each bag is cheaper than more than 50 yuan on the market, Zheng Qi gives me Lao Su face, let's ...... too" Su Fu is a lot of verbosity, just boasting about his great ability, and the price he buys is lower than others.
Su Jin couldn't cry or laugh when he heard it, this Su Fu person is a fine duty, but his mouth is too broken and annoying.
Bao Zheng interrupted him and said, "You step aside." ”
Su Fu said: "It's okay with me?" ”
Su Jin frowned and said, "Stand aside, don't talk more, just listen, ask you and you will talk." ”
Su Fu hurriedly agreed, bowed and stepped aside.
"Master Zhu, the situation is already obvious, Su Ji doesn't use this kind of paper, Bao Mou dares to say that there will be no more than ten households in Luzhou City that use white linen paper, so this Qin Dalang used white linen paper to write his suicide note, dare to ask him where he got this kind of paper?" Bao Zheng asked.
"Besides, white linen paper is expensive, and it is impossible for non-wealthy families to use this kind of paper, do you think that Qin Dalang will deliberately buy white linen paper in order to write a suicide note? If this is the case, there are thousands of bundles of paper, so where is the rest of the paper? I'm afraid I won't find anything in his dwelling. ”
"This ......" Governor Zhu also knew that Bao Zheng was telling the truth, but at this time, he could only deny it, and spread his hands and said: "I'm afraid I have to ask that Qin Dalang, how do you and I know about this matter, and if the source of the paper is suspicious, can we conclude that the suicide note is fake?" Master Bao takes it for granted. ”
Bao Zheng nodded and said: "My lord is reasonable, but I can't conclude that the suicide note is fake, but this is one of the doubts, my lord doesn't deny it, right?" ”
Zhu Shiyong said: "Let's be a little suspicious. ”
Bao Zheng clapped his hands and said, "Then Bao Mou said this second suspicion." ”
The people in the hall were deeply attracted by the process of analyzing the case by Lord Bao, and the seemingly subtle things turned out to be very mysterious, and when they heard Bao Zheng want to say the second doubt, they all listened attentively, for fear of missing a word.
