Chapter 193: A Jade Ring
Chapter 193: A Jade Ring.
The sunset was about to end, the cold wind was a little cold, and a group of officials rushed through the crowd on the street and rushed to Zhang's mansion.
When they came to the gate of Zhang's mansion, the guards there saw that it was the people of the yamen, and they didn't even dare to speak, but they were afraid of being scolded by the Zhang family's father and son, so after they saw those officials from afar, they hurriedly ran into the mansion to report to Zhang Qi and Zhang Tianfu.
But as soon as he closed the door, he regretted it a little.
The officials were beating and kicking outside, but the guards didn't dare to open the door, at this time, Zhang Qi rushed over with his son Zhang Tianfu and said angrily: "Why close the door? ”
The guards couldn't say why, Zhang Tianfu suddenly scolded: "You rabbit cub, will you have a little brains, you close the door and don't let those servants come in, won't it make them even more suspicious?" ”
The guard knew that he had caused a big disaster, so he didn't dare to argue, and let Zhang Tianfu beat and scold, and at this time, Zhang Qi had already opened the door to welcome Lu out, but as soon as he met him, the official tied him up, and Zhang Tianfu didn't understand what was going on, so he was taken up by the official.
On the way to the yamen, those officials were so angry that they even kicked Zhang Tianfu and scolded angrily: "Boy, dare to turn us away, it seems that you are a murderer, just wait to die." ”
Zhang Tianfu was a little angry when he saw these servants treating him like this, but as soon as he was about to get angry, he saw his father Zhang Qi's eyes, although the eyes were very strange, but they were father and son after all, so he didn't need to say the words to understand what they meant.
Zhang Qi and Zhang Tianfu were escorted by the officials, and soon attracted a crowd of onlookers, who came to the county government with a smile and scolding, and who was arrested and who was taken on trial had nothing to do with them, they just watched the excitement.
Came to the county office, the official escorted Zhang Qi and his son into the lobby, after the two of them knelt down, Bao Zheng immediately ascended to the hall, after a few mighty sounds, Bao Zheng asked sharply: "Zhang Qi father and son, do you know why this lord took you here?" ”
Zhang Tianfu didn't say anything, only glanced at his father, Zhang Qi kowtowed, and said, "Back to the adult, Xiaomin really doesn't know." ”
Bao Zheng smiled coldly: "I wish Ruzi the death, do you know the way?" ”
Zhang Qi nodded: "This matter is making a lot of noise in Tianchang County, how can we not know, but why does Lord Bao ask like this?" ”
Bao Zheng patted the shocked wood, and said angrily: "Okay, you are Zhang Qi, you are clever and tongue-in-cheek, you have done something evil, and you even came to ask Lord Ben, come on, first give each of them thirty boards." ”
This Bao Zheng did not explain the situation and hit the prisoner first, this is something that has never happened before, the people outside the hall have expressed their puzzlement, but they can't make any decisions, Zhang Qi heard that he was going to beat himself, and hurriedly shouted: "My lord, Xiaomin didn't break the law, why did you beat us?" ”
Bao Zheng ignored Zhang Qi's words, and the four officials ran to hold Zhang Qi's father and son, and any picked up the board and fought, and for a while the whole hall screamed, and Zhang Tianfu screamed even more, crying and shouting mother, the people outside the hall were still a little puzzled about this matter, but after seeing Zhang Tianfu's painful appearance, they were happy.
They know best who Zhang Tianfu is, he bullies the soft and fears the hard, and dominates the market, and now the more painful he is, the happier the people become.
After the thirty boards were played, their father and son couldn't even kneel, and they could only lie on the ground at the end, Zhang Qi was beaten, his eyes were full of hatred, but he didn't dare to show it, and he still begged and asked: "I heard that Master Bao is a Qingtian, but why did he torture us without explaining the reason, is this what Qingtian should do?" ”
The corners of Bao Zheng's mouth twitched slightly, and he asked, "What evil things have you father and son done, do you have to say it before you are willing to comply?" ”
Zhang Qi lay on the ground, looking extremely pitiful, and asked: "We don't understand what my lord said, what evil things did our father and son do to ask our lord to do this to us?" ”
Seeing that Zhang Qi was so stubborn, Bao Zheng immediately said: "Some people say that I once saw Zhu Ruzi being led into your Zhang Mansion by a man, and a few days later, her body was discovered, but is there such a thing?" ”
After Zhang Tianfu heard Bao Zheng's words, he was immediately frightened, but Zhang Qi only smiled coldly: "My lord, this is pure nonsense, before this, we have never seen Zhu Ruzi mentioned in the mouth of the adult, how can the murder matter, if the adult can't solve the case and wants to make our father and son wronged, to put it bluntly, why bother abducting and smearing?" ”
This Zhang Qi was really thoughtful and eloquent, Bao Zheng looked around the hall, but there was still no trace of Hualang, he was a little anxious, but he thought of the plan they said, so he endured it, looked at Zhang Tianfu and asked, "Zhang Tianfu, have you lost your jade ring?" ”
Zhang Tianfu had tears in the corners of his eyes, he cried bitterly when he was beaten just now, and after he heard Bao Zheng ask himself, he first glanced at his father, and then replied: "Go back...... The small ring has not been lost, and it is now worn on the hand. ”
Zhang Tianfu said, raising his hand, and on his finger, he was wearing the same ring that Hua Lang found in the woods, and after Bao Zheng saw the ring, he suddenly scolded loudly: "Then is this ring yours?" ”
Saying that, Bao Zheng asked a servant to hand the ring that Hualang found to Zhang Tianfu, Zhang Tianfu saw the ring, his face changed slightly, and said: "My lord, wronged, this is not my ring, my ring can be on my hand, can you wronged us." ”
Bao Zheng smiled coldly: "Lord Ben will not wronged you, your ring was just made a few days ago, because you lost the original one, and it was lost at the place where the corpse was dumped, but unfortunately, the corpse was secretly hidden before you went back to find the ring, so you can't find this ring." ”
Zhang Tianfu was a little disdainful and said, "You can say whatever you want, anyway, I won't admit that this ring is mine." ”
Bao Zheng had already expected this, so Bao Zheng looked at Zhang Tianfu, smiled coldly, and said, "I have a testimony that I have seen Zhu Ruzi go to your mansion, and you still have to deny it." ”
Saying that, a beggar went up to the lobby, and then told what he saw, but as soon as the beggar finished speaking, Zhang Qi couldn't help but laugh, and when he finished laughing, he said: "Master Bao, you also believe the words of a beggar, this is really a big joke in the world, ridiculous, lamentable, sad!" ”
