Bao Zheng turned to Su Jin and said, "Come on, let's see if what you say is the same as what I deduced." ”

Su Jin bowed and said, "The grass people obey the order. ”

After that, he straightened up and said: "I listened to Lord Bao's reasoning, and the grass people suddenly opened, although the two doubts raised by Lord Bao in front of him could not conclusively prove that the suicide note was fake, but the answer between Lord Bao and the prefect just now taught me to understand the most important doubt. ”

"To put it bluntly, who is impatient to listen to you Rory." Someone in the chamber of commerce group shouted.

Su Jin smiled and said: "Let's talk about it in detail, a few seniors don't be impatient; According to what the prefect said, Qin Dalang committed suicide by throwing himself into the water two or three days ago, and the suicide note was found from the corpse, and it was obviously written and put on his body when Qin Dalang was dying, yes or no? ”

Everyone nodded and said, "It must be so." ”

Su Jin looked at Zhu Shiyong waiting for his answer, although Zhu Shiyong faintly felt inappropriate, but Su Jin's inference was common sense, and he couldn't refute it for the sake of refutation, so he nodded and said, "So what?" ”

Su Jin smiled: "That's right, no one can write a suicide note after death, right?" I just want to ask the prefect, what kind of texture is this white linen paper made of? What kind of ink is the handwriting on the paper? Why is it that after two or three days of immersion in water, it still does not rot, and the words on it can still be clearly recognized? I'm afraid this kind of paper and ink will be hard to find in the world. ”

Su Jin's series of questions are like a thousand pounds of giant hands, and all of a sudden the block in everyone's hearts is swept away, no matter how high the quality of the white linen paper is, it is always made of the bark of the tree as a raw material and mashed and boiled, the texture is only white, smooth and silky than other papers, but it is impossible to soak in water for two or three days and still be able to unfold.

Su Jin saw that everyone had a sense of sudden enlightenment, and took the hot railway: "Please take out a piece of white linen paper, write a few lines of handwriting, and put it in a basin of water to try it, and see if this paper can be read after being fished out, everything is self-evident." ”

Zhu Shiyong was dumbfounded, he didn't expect that the well-arranged layout would have such a big loophole in it, it was really stupid.

The people of the Chamber of Commerce were also dumbfounded, Tang Jiyuan did not hesitate to kill Scarface Hei Qi to dig out the corrupt body of Qin Dalang, who had been buried for two days, forged a suicide note and put it on the corpse, and then took advantage of the unpreparedness to throw it into the reeds to blame Su Jin; I thought that there were no flaws in the ingeniousness, but I didn't expect that under the meticulous analysis, there were many loopholes; Tang Jiyuan was shocked and frightened, and he didn't dare to look at Zhu Shiyong, for fear of meeting Zhu Shiyong's cold gaze.

Zhu Shiyong's mind was racing, calculating the current situation, and unconsciously making the final quibble in his mouth: "This ...... The reason for this is unknown, but the world is so big that there are no surprises, maybe Qin Dalang has no thoughts, and he doesn't know if he secretly protects him. ”

When the crowd heard the prefect's words, they were in an uproar, some sneered, some shook their heads, and some cursed quietly. Even the mummy-like Zhu Yanei looked at his father in disbelief and said, "Dad, you call me stupid every day, I can understand why I'm so stupid, because I'm such a dad as you." ”

Zhu Shiyong's face turned red, and he was shocked to stop the riot in the hall, and he couldn't think of any good words to defend it for a while.

Bao Zheng was already furious, and at this time Zhu Shiyong was still denying, which was unbearable.

I saw Bao Zheng kick the bamboo hat on the ground far away, smashed it on the leg of a servant, and shouted angrily: "Lord Zhu, is this how you tried the case? Obviously, the suicide note was forged by someone else, but you ignored the facts, used false words to fool the world, and dared to ask what your intentions were? As a parent official, you are so stupid, do you really ignore the laws of the court, the public opinion of the world, and the feelings of the world? ”

Bao Zheng didn't wait for Zhu Shiyong to answer, and stretched out his hand to the old man who looked like the master next to him and said, "Take it." ”

The old man hurriedly waved to the crowd in the hall, and a small servant came up to the hall with a large basin of water, put the basin on the ground, took out a roll of paper from his bosom and handed it to the old man, turned around and bowed without saying a word.

Bao Zheng pointed at Zhu Shiyong and said: "Lord Zhu, since you are so convinced of ethereal things, today Qin Dalang's first seven years have not passed, and the ghost is still there, if he really wants to bring the person who harmed him to justice, now he should be protected in the hall, Bao Mou will put this white linen paper into the basin, if a stick of incense can still be fished out and identified, I will believe your words." ”

After that, he quickly stepped forward, grabbed a pen from the main thin case, 'brushed and brushed', wrote several sheets of white linen paper in a row, held it in his hand and said: "You can see clearly with your eyes open, this is the white linen paper that the servant just fetched, and see if it is as tough as a rock, or because the prefect said that it is blessed by ghosts and is unharmed in the water." ”

Reaching out and putting a few pieces of paper into the basin, Su Jin saw that the same sentence was written on the paper: "The emperor lives up to the emperor's grace, and the people at dawn." Bao Zheng wrote it casually, it is this sentence, which shows that this sentence is the belief and creed that he adheres to in his heart, and this is a real man with pursuit.

Hundreds of pairs of eyes stared at the paper in the copper basin, only to see that the paper was quickly soaked and wet, and the ink on the paper could just distinguish the handwriting, and in the blink of an eye, a trace of it drifted away like a dark cloud, disappeared into the clear water, and after a while, the whole basin of clear water was dyed into pale black ink water.

Zhu Shiyong knew that he couldn't go all the way to the dark anymore, he gritted his teeth and made a decision, it was not too late to make amends, as an old official, once he was threatened, his brain was the most bright.

When Bao Zheng cautiously tried to pick up the damaged white linen paper with bamboo strips to show the public, Zhu Shiyong had already thought of a way out.

"Come and pass it on to the court." Zhu Shiyong didn't wait for Bao Zheng to speak, and made the first move.

The soapy man was in the side room early, and when he heard the news from the prefect, he stumbled and trotted up to the church, knelt on the ground, and kowtowed.

"Be bold, dare to deceive the official, quickly recruit from the truth, where did this suicide note come from?" Zhu Shiyong raised his eyebrows and looked angry, looking jealous and hateful.

"Lord Hui, it is indeed from the corpse, how dare the little one come nonsense." He shook like chaff all over his body, and his face turned pale with fright.

"Then why did the suicide note not break after three days of flooding? How do you explain it? "Zhu Shiyong can play the ball.

"This ...... How the villain knows. "He was sweating profusely, and he Zhu Shiyong's ancestors for eight generations to the sky in his heart.

"It seems that if you don't move the big punishment, you won't be recruited, come here, and put a stick." Zhu Shiyong decided to let this puppet be used as a substitute for the dead ghost, not only the suicide note, but also the fact that this puppet also knew another big secret, but Bao Zheng couldn't let him find out from him in private.

His complexion changed greatly, he didn't expect the prefect to be so ruthless, seeing that the upper body of the clamp stick, the officials did not make a show at all, but worked hard, and then he knew that he had been sold; With a horizontal heart, he scolded angrily: "You sinister and despicable dumb official, Lao Tzu wants to make what you do public, Qin Dalang is not ......"

Zhu Shiyong had long been guarding against him, and before he finished speaking, he had already handed his eyes to the head of the official team, who took out the bamboo board from behind the belt and used all his strength to "snap" it on the mouth of the soldier, and forcibly pulled the words back into his stomach.

The mouth of the pretendence was high and swollen, blood mixed with broken teeth gurgled out, and the head of the squad pumped up more than a dozen boards back and forth, the mouth and cheeks had already been pumped out of shape, all the teeth fell out, and even the tongue was cut by the broken teeth several pieces, and he couldn't speak at all.

The pretentious temperament was also strong, whining to himself, squirting blood in Zhu Shiyong's mouth.

The people couldn't react, how did the prefect's yamen become the leader of the case in a blink of an eye, and the prefect's thinking in judging the case was too jumpy, one moment he was still biting Su Xiaoguan's life, and the next moment another person was accused of being fierce and beating him inhumanly, which really responded to the prefect's words: "The world is big, and there are no surprises." ”
