The voice of this voice was not loud, but it was exceptionally clear, and it came into the ears of Cui Geng and Xue Yingde of Zhangpu County without falling word for word, which was piercing!

Of course, the officials in the public court can hear it clearly, let alone the people watching from the outside of the public court?

The common people in the Tang Dynasty are fierce but simple, and they love to join in the fun and listen to gossip, but it doesn't mean that they don't understand anything.

The person who spoke was obviously despising the red fruit land, no, he was arrogantly laughing at Cui Yushi for being a two~ forced man!

Hey, there's a lot going on!

Crash~~

The people flashed to the side one after another, consciously exposing the guy who was standing in the crowd of onlookers and saying cool things in front of Cui Geng, Xue Yingde and other officials.

This is a big man in gray.

This person is tall, with a high nose bridge with a Chinese face, a pair of sword eyebrows inserted obliquely into his sideburns, two tiger eyes are not angry and self-assured, when he was young, he must have been a standard handsome man.

As for his current age, it is difficult to say, he is forty years old, with fair skin and not many wrinkles on his face. It would not be an exaggeration to say that he was sixty years old, because his silver hair fluttered in the wind.

"Who am I, it turns out to be you! Okay, you're a ...... Zhou" The county magistrate Xue Yingde really knew this person, and his face immediately changed drastically, and he was ready to let the official come forward to take the person.

Unexpectedly, Xue Yingde didn't have time to call out the other party's name, but the gray-clothed man shouted violently, and was interrupted: "Shut up!" I'm talking to Cui Yushi, how can there be a place for you, a dog official, to interject? Could it be that you want to block the way of the court? ”

Yo, I also know the way to block the court! The words are very professional!

As soon as Cui Geng heard this, he knew that with this momentum and this word, the gray-clothed man in front of him was definitely not an ordinary person, so he raised his hand to look at Xue Yingde and dissuaded: "Xue County Order, please be calm and don't be impatient, listen to him finish speaking." Even today's saints have personally received complaints from the people, not to mention me, a small seven-rank Lingnan political envoy? ”

Xue Yingde's face was anxious, and he said first: "But he ......"

"Stand down!"

Cui Geng snorted impatiently, obviously moved by the liver fire, and suddenly put on the style of the political envoy of Lingnan Dao, and forced: "It's nothing." Xue County ordered to sit aside, and the imperial history will call you if there is something! ”

In terms of rank, the two are comparable. But who made Cui Erlang the political envoy of Lingnan Province? In the imperial court sequence, Cui Geng's gold content of the seven-grade imperial history is much stronger than his small county order.

If you want to divide the two into two ministers, Cui Geng is naturally better!

With an order, Xue Yingde had no choice but to sit back.

Cui Geng asked the gray-clothed man, "Who are you?" Why did you say this just now, why did you say that the official was sold and counted the money for others? ”

The gray-clothed man said: "What does it matter who my surname is?" Could it be that Cui Yushi only heard the people call you Cui Qingtian, and couldn't hear a word against his ears? ”

Contrary to the ear?

Only loyal words will be contrary to the ear, and there is something in this man's words.

When Cui Geng heard this, instead of being annoyed, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.

He smiled heartily and said, "Okay, it's okay not to ask your name and surname, but it's actually difficult for you to ridicule the official's reputation just now, so you have to give me an explanation, right?" If you talk wildly, you have to have some dry goods, don't you? ”

"Dry goods? Your analogy is apt! ”

The gray-clothed man said straightforwardly: "A certain family's explanation is that you have completely misjudged this case. ”

Cui Geng was shocked and asked, "Why did you make a mistake?" Let's talk about it, the imperial court can confer the post of political envoy of Lingnan Province and walk in the county towns of Lingnan Province, which is nothing more than opening up the way and redressing grievances! Speak, rest assured to speak boldly! ”

Dahan's eyes swept around, and suddenly said: "This is not in a hurry, but you sit and I stand, this is Cui Yushi's hospitality?" ”

Rub, this guy's spectrum is pretty big!

Cui Geng didn't bother to bother with him, so he ordered Feng Changqing to bring a small round stool.

After the big man sat down, he brought out the suspicions of the case one by one.

One of the doubts, since Liu Feiyun said that there was nothing abnormal on the road, why did he just point out the blue wattle forest? Well, even if this is what she said casually, but just talk about the woods, why not add the word blue wattle? On weekdays, normal people speak "I passed by a forest", where can I say "I passed by a forest of blue wattle flowers"? This is very awkward and does not conform to the logic of speech. Moreover, if you look for locals, you will know that the forest is not dominated by blue wattle flowers, and there is no such thing as "blue wattle forest".

Suspicion two, blue vitex is poisonous, what do you see? Is it reasonable that this tree is neither rare nor endemic to Zhangpu, and is so poisonous that it is not recorded in any of the classics?

The third suspicion is also the most critical, if the blue vitex is highly poisonous, the people and animals killed must not be one or two, nor one or two times, why hasn't everyone heard of it?

After Cui Geng heard these three doubts, he was suddenly shocked, and said secretly, could it be that I was misled by them, and then I was preconceived and fell into the pit step by step?

However, he still questioned a few doubts about the gray-clothed man: "You are right, but the big yellow dog did die of poison after eating the blue wattle before, doesn't this mean that the blue wattle is highly poisonous?" ”

"Can't!" The gray-clothed man said categorically: "This can only show that the blue wattle is poisonous, as for whether this poison was smeared in advance, or whether it was originally on the blue wattle flower, it is debatable." But if adults judge that the blue wattle is highly poisonous based on this alone, I am afraid that this will be contrary to the strict criteria for judging cases for verification and verification, right? ”

"Smeared? Smeared? Cui Geng suddenly realized, slapped the startled wood, and ordered: "Song Genhai!" ”

"Humble duty!"

"Take some of your brothers and pick some blue-thorn flowers with your own hands, and you must not make a mistake.1"

"Yes!"

Song Genhai happily accepted the order, arrested a few local people outside the public hall as strong men, and asked them to lead the way to find a place where there were blue wattle flowers, and they had turned around in less than a quarter of an hour.

Cui Geng mixed the blue wattle flower into the meat again, and asked people to lead a big yellow dog, but this time the big yellow dog was lucky, and he mixed a full meal for nothing, and there was nothing wrong until more than an hour later.

Now the result is obvious, Cui Geng's previous trial inference seems to have been misled!

Dog's day, it's really the opposite!

Cui Geng stared at Xue Yingde's eyes and asked sharply, "Xue County Order, what's going on?" I hope you can give a reasonable explanation to this imperial history! ”

"The lower officials are wronged......"

Xue Yingde seemed to have been prepared, and immediately left his seat and knelt down, calling out to hit the sky, claiming that he had no idea about the fraud, and it must be those officials who accepted the benefits of the Liu family and intended to exonerate Liu Feiyun.

As your official is as clear as water, and the enemy is as smooth as oil, as soon as Xue Yingde said this, Cui Geng suddenly found it difficult to judge the truth of his words.

So, he went to pick again. The official of the flower came to him and interrogated him in detail.

This picks. Hua Yashou did not deny it at all, and immediately confessed that the matter was completely entrusted by Sun Jiang, and even confiscated a penny of silver, and only helped him because of the face of his colleagues.

The official Sun Jiang did not resist, and immediately confessed that he was confused for a while, purely to make Xiaoqing~ the little lady of the Liu family happy, and he would never dare to do it in the future, and asked the adults to be gracious.

As for the girl Liu Feiyu, she cried with pear blossoms and rain, saying that she had a deep sisterhood and did this stupid thing to save her sister from trouble. The little lady of the Liu family even claimed that according to the laws of the imperial court, it is permissible to hide each other, and this confusion has caused a big mistake, and she hopes that Lord Cui will raise her noble hand.

Do you know the obscure law of "kissing and hiding each other"? Didn't this little lady of the Liu family claim that her sister was from a peasant family?

Cui Geng's mind is full of muddy at this time, what kind of mess is this? It seems that everyone just made a small mistake, and they almost let go of the real murderer - Han Liu!

Now that the truth is coming out, Han Liu cannot escape the suspicion of being a murderer.

For a while, Cui Geng looked at these people who had deceived him by perjury, and his heart was a little cold, and he had no intention of continuing to try the case, and handed the case back to Xue Yingde.

As soon as Xue Yingde took over, he announced that the original verdict would be upheld. The official Sun Jianghe helped to pick. As for Liu Feiyu, she is still young and has not yet caused a big disaster, and because of the female flow, she is not suitable for punishment, so she has to be admonished verbally.

This punishment is neither light nor severe, and it is completely consistent with the "relatives can be exempted from punishment" in the imperial court law, Cui Geng nodded and said that it was no different.

This lawsuit seems to be like a small episode interspersed in the middle of the process, and it is about to settle down again.

But at this moment, the gray-clothed man spoke again, shook his head and sighed: "You can't teach a child!" You can't teach your children! Cui Yushi, you touch your neck's head, are you still looking solid now? ”

This is clearly another sentence with words!

Cui Geng has long lost his blind confidence and expansion after the setback just now, and he has already understood that if there is no "ridiculous dream", he is an ordinary person, and two scheming servants and a little folk girl can conspire to play ~ between the palms of their hands.

Don't be careless, act against arrogance and rashness!

The strange behavior of this gray-clothed man today is obviously out of kindness to himself.

He stood up, bowed to the gray-clothed man, and said, "What does this gentleman mean...... The official is wrong again? Cui Gengyulu, please continue to give me some advice. ”

"That's pretty much it."

The gray-clothed man calmly accepted Cui Geng's salute, nodded with satisfaction, and said, "For the sake of you who know how to be polite, a certain family will teach you another one." You go check it, that Han Liu's family, well, it's Liu Feiyu in your mouth, is there really a sister named Liu Feiyu? Even if there is, isn't it the one in front of you? In addition, if you check the official Sun Jiang again, is it originally the official of Zhangpu County? Didn't you find that as a county official, from the beginning to the present, he has never paid any respect to Xue Yingde, the respect of a county? ”

As soon as Dahan's words fell, he heard two sounds-poof!

Sun Jiang and that Cai. The servants of the flower burst into trouble, one left and one right, and two bright sharp knives went straight into the body of Liu Feiyu, the little lady of the Liu family.

"Quick, take it!" Cui Geng immediately ordered.

It's too late, though!

The assassination was successful, Sun Jiang and Na Cai. The official of the flower glanced at each other, bit the poison sac in his mouth, and immediately bled to death.

In an instant, three lives have been lost!

Rumble!

Cui Geng's brain exploded suddenly, and his heart was shocked, this is the prelude to something big!

Suddenly, he strode forward, regardless of etiquette, he lifted the collar of the official robe of the county order Xue Yingde, gritted his teeth and said: "Xue County Order, a case with five lives (including Han Liang and his wife), even if it is reported to the Criminal Department, it is a big case." Don't tell me now, you still don't know, you don't know anything? ”

"Cui Yushi Kaien!"

Xue Yingde was numb this time, and hurriedly told what he knew.

Just over a month ago, Wu Sanzhong's subordinate Guo Yi Du Lieutenant Liang Bo found him and asked him to do a small favor, and after the matter was completed, he could be transferred from Zhangpu, a place where birds don't.

This little favor is to arrange for two people to enter Putian County as government officials, and to facilitate their actions.

As for other specific things, Liang Bo did not arrange for him, but he didn't need to ask.

For Xue Yingde, this kind of small favor is naturally effortless, and there is no harm in a hundred miles, so he naturally agrees.

But it turned out to be this scene in the public court today......

This is something he didn't expect.

In the end, he knelt on the ground and begged Cui Geng bitterly, and said: "I think that Liu Feiyun has a special relationship with Liang Duwei, so I want to be a favor, I can't imagine that they want to kill people in broad daylight, and ask Cui Yushi to investigate." ”

Cui Geng believes that Wu Sanzhong just wants to win over his wings, and he will not find a little Xue Yingde. In this case, a case involving human life will not implicate him too deeply, and it is enough to just provide convenience!

Now that he knows that it is the mad dog under Wu Sanzhong's hand that can bite people the most capable of causing the damage in the back, Cui Geng has also faded away from the anxiety just now.

However, he also has a suspicion that he can't figure out - it stands to reason that nine times out of ten, the official will miss the case once or twice? If the wrong person is killed in the wrong case, there will definitely be a punishment, but this is a public crime, and at most it is just a dismissal from office. There are even times when they wear their sins and make meritorious contributions, and at most they are demoted and demoted, and they may not necessarily be dismissed from their posts and become vain.

If Liang Bo's design is to let himself put the wrong person, then it's a big deal to catch it again, even if there is a punishment, it won't be too serious? Liang Bo wasted his strength for a long time, just to ruin his official reputation as the new political envoy of Lingnan Province?

The gray-clothed man seemed to see his doubts and said, "Hehe, superficial! If I were Liang Bo, as soon as this case was judged, I would immediately order Sun Jiang to come out and say that Cui Yushi had bribed him with money. Then, let the little lady of the Liu family take the lead, saying that in order to marry her as a concubine, you promised her to deliberately misjudge the case and save her sister. There are all human and material evidence, so there is no way for Cui Yushi to deny it. As an official of the imperial history, he is corrupt and perverts the law, and it also involves women, hehe, at least he will lose his official position, and at worst, his head will fall to the ground! ”

Bang~~

Cui Geng held a law enforcement bamboo stick in his hand and fell to the ground, muttering: "I see! It was Cui who saw things on the surface. I didn't expect that people's hearts would be so sinister! If I hadn't met Mr. today, wouldn't I have made a big mistake? ”

This gray-clothed man woke up a little, and it really helped me escape a catastrophe!

Thank you very much!

Thank you from the bottom of my heart!

I saw Cui Geng stand up, and once again respectfully made a big salute, and said: "This gentleman, you are not only familiar with the matter of criminal names, but also quite familiar with people's hearts and deceit, you must not be an ordinary person, right?" Can you give me your name? ”

Seeing Cui Geng's repeated salutes, the gray-clothed man also felt that it was a bit too much to pretend to be forced like this, so he quickly got up and returned the salute, and said truthfully: "I can't afford such a big gift from Cui Yushi!" To tell the truth, a certain family surnamed Zhou is called ......"

But after hearing his name, Cui Geng's face became even more ugly and pale than just now, and his eyes wandered strangely on the other party's body, my God, how could it be him?

Cui Erlang wanted to cry without tears at all, and kept wailing in his heart, what a real Nima pit father! Big brother, I take back what I just said, and I also take back the etiquette just now, now we don't know each other at all, okay?
