Chapter 34: The Book of Blood
From property disputes, to life lawsuits, to the crime of complicit, even if it turns into a flag-to-flag rebellion in the next moment, Wei Liangfu will not be surprised.
In the signing room, the old man grabbed Tang Yi's arm and roared angrily: "You kid tell the truth to the teacher, what the hell is going on?" ”
Facing the old man's roar, Tang Yi was also surprised, Lei Qi swore that he could deal with his wife, but in the blink of an eye, there were chicken feathers, and Tang Yi didn't know what happened during the period. But he was sure that he was absolutely innocent.
"Teacher, the disciple will never dare to deceive, I just helped Lei Qi calculate the accounts. And ......"
"And what?" Wei Liangfu asked.
"And according to the account observation, Lei Qi is a basically honest businessman, and most of the time he is framed!"
Wei Liangfu frowned, he also felt strange, Taicang is relatively inland, and the Japanese have almost never appeared, and it is really hard to believe that a big businessman has emerged.
"Alas, no matter what others do, let's make it clear to Ziyu first, pick up your father and son, the old man doesn't want the apprentice to have anything to do with the widows, then he will destroy the nine clans!"
While speaking, Zhizhou Chen Menghe hurriedly walked in from outside, and said from a distance: "I gave a salute to the boss in the evening." His eyes swept over and saw that Tang Yi was also following him, and Chen Menghe suddenly smiled.
"It turned out to be Tang Prodigy, the boss seems that you got your wish and accepted a good disciple. In the past two days, there will be another poetry meeting to celebrate, this official has not seen Tang Prodigy's poetic talent! ”
When Tang Yi heard this, he really wanted to rush forward and give him a few slaps, is there any mistake, you are a parent official, you don't want to benefit one party, you think about holding a poetry meeting every day, chanting the wind and making the moon, you are happy, what can the local people do? If Lao Tzu became an official, he would never learn from these corpse vegetarian guys!
Of course, Tang Yi only dared to think about it in his heart, but on the surface, he was still obedient and abnormal, and he greeted Chen Menghe. Then he stood aside and waited.
Wei Liangfu remained silent, and asked seemingly casually: "Ziyu, the old man heard about a businessman who killed his wife, but there is such a thing!" ”
"Yes!" Chen Menghe agreed, and his face suddenly turned dark.
"I didn't expect the old man to hear about it, it's really unreasonable!" Chen Menghe sighed: "That businessman's name is Lei Qi, he was born recklessly, arrogant and domineering, raised hundreds of thugs, ran rampant in the township, and did many evils. In recent years, he has mismanaged his wife's dowry, and his wife found out, quarreled a few words, and even killed the killer and beat his wife to death! ”
Speaking of this, Chen Menghe slapped his thigh and scolded angrily: "A hundred years of cultivation can be crossed in the same boat, and a thousand years of cultivation can be slept together." I don't even talk about the relationship between husband and wife, it's just a difference from a beast! It is a shame for Taicang to come out of such a wicked person! ”
Waiting for Chen Menghe to finish speaking, the old man narrowed his eyes and suddenly said, "Ziyu, you will try this case personally?" ”
"This ......"
Chen Menghe paused, his face flushed, and he said ashamedly: "Boss, I was preparing for the Wenhui two days ago, and it was Judge Hu who tried him, he is an old criminal name, and he shouldn't make a mistake." The lower officials have seen it, and the evidence is conclusive. ”
"Hehe, Ziyu, the old man heard that the deceased was Hu Bin's niece, and the uncle interrogated the niece's case, I'm afraid it's inappropriate!"
It's not just inappropriate, there is no qualification at all, according to the law of the Ming Dynasty, Hu Bin should be avoided, but he put on the irresponsible Chen Menghe, and let Hu Bin do it.
At this moment, Chen Menghe's face turned red, and he also knew that what he had done was inappropriate.
"Boss, it's true that the lower officials were negligent, but I checked it afterwards, there was no problem at all, Lei Qi was indeed a heinous crime."
Wei Liangfu smiled slightly: "Ziyu, Lei Qi's case will be put aside first, what the old man wants to ask is why the Tang family father and son are arrested!" ”
"Ridiculous!"
Chen Menghe stood up suddenly, in disbelief.
"Boss, in the past few days, who in Jiangnan doesn't know the Tang prodigy who 'life is only as first seen', and who doesn't know Tang Xianggong, who is a master of calligraphy, dares to arrest them, it's just insulting Sven, Sven sweeps the floor!"
Seeing Chen Menghe's fierce words, Tang Yi instantly saw through the adult's thoughts. In his heart, there are only Shilin, Shinong and Gongshang, and his eyes are only fixed on scholars. When something happens to the reader, he is like a lit firecracker, but others are dispensable. Tang Yi didn't know whether to be happy or angry!
"Qiqi old parents, the kid once dealt with Lei Qi, but more than a day ago, he first burned the kid's residence in Liuhebao, and then the official rushed to the house, the father has been arrested, the kid has no choice but to find the teacher, the old parents, please let the kid be the master!"
Although Tang Yi was reluctant to kneel, he had to bend his knees at this time. How do you know that Chen Menghe is very considerate, hurriedly grabbed Tang Yi, and said sincerely: "This matter is the negligence of the official, I will be promoted to the court, figure out the matter, and never let Ling Zun be wronged." ”
Chen Menghe gave an order, the sound of bangzi sounded hurriedly, and in the three shifts and six rooms of the Zhizhou Yamen office, all the subordinate officials and errands moved, and hurriedly ran to the lobby.
Lord Chen has always been lazy, and he didn't even bother to put out the "Pai Ya", which symbolized majesty, so everyone was inevitably in a hurry, looking at his subordinates so incompetent, Chen Menghe, who was standing behind the screen and watching, became more and more ashamed, what a bunch of things that couldn't be put on the table!
He strode to the front of the public case, didn't say a word, grabbed the shocking wood in his hand, slapped it hard, and said angrily: "Where is Hu Bin? ”
Judge Hu hurriedly bowed down and saluted, and said tremblingly: "My subordinates have seen Tangzun. ”
"No courtesy." Chen Menghe had a gloomy face and asked, "The official heard that you went to arrest Tang Xiucai and his son-in-law, and the official asked you, who gave you the guts?" ”
Hu Bin knew that Wei Liangfu and Chen Menghe had a very good relationship, so he was afraid of trouble with him, so he had already thought of a set of rhetoric.
"Qi Yu Tang Zun, Tang Xiucai is famous, how dare his subordinates arrest him casually. Just wanted to ask him to ask about something. ”
"You talk nonsense!" Wang Shimao walked in angrily from outside.
It turned out that Wei Liangfu took Tang Yi to find Chen Menghe, and at the same time asked Wang Shimao to use the relationship of the Wang family to inquire about the whereabouts of Tang Xiucai and others. This is where the old man has a lot of experience, and sure enough, Wang Shimao found the Taicang prison where Tang Xiucai and others were imprisoned, he couldn't save people, he could only warn the cell boss not to let Tang Xiucai be wronged, and then he hurriedly returned to the lobby.
"Lord Chen, Tang Xianggong was put in prison without interrogation, and please uphold justice!"
"Ahh
Chen Menghe was so angry that he was shocked and said angrily: "Is there such a thing? ”
Hu Bin didn't dare to admit it, so he could only push and say: "Tangzun, maybe the people below are not sensible, so let the subordinates bring Tang Xianggong up." ”
"Go quickly!" Chen Menghe spit out two words.
It didn't take long for an official to take Tang Xiucai to the lobby, although it was only half a day, Tang Xiucai's face was pale, his body was dusty and dirty, and he still had a straw stick on his head, and he didn't have a chic appearance at all, which made people feel sad to watch.
"Quick, bring a chair to Tang Xiucai."
After Tang Xiucai sat down, Chen Menghe glared at Hu Bin angrily and asked coldly: "Judge Hu, you should give this official an explanation!" ”
Hu Bin's face changed greatly, and he hurriedly said: "Tang Zun, when his subordinates interrogated Lei Qi, they heard that Tang Xiucai had handled the accounts for him, so I thought that Tang Xiucai might know the whereabouts of Lei Qi's family property and wanted him to help. ”
"It's not my father's deal, it's down!" Tang Yi turned out from behind the screen and said loudly: "The old parents are above, the kid did help Lei Qi calculate some accounts, but it took less than five days before and after, and then I went to Taicang, and I didn't deal with Lei Qi." ”
"Hmm!" Chen Menghe nodded and said, "Judge Hu, do you understand?" ”
"Back to the hall, the lower officials understand." Hu Bin seemed to have eaten a fly, but he didn't dare to deny it.
"Okay, since it has nothing to do with Tang Xiucai, let them go home!" Tang Yi and Tang Xiucai hurriedly bowed down and thanked them again and again. They were about to go down the hall when Chen Menghe added.
"Judge Hu, Lei Qi's wife is your niece, and the official personally interrogates this case, so you don't care!"
In an instant, Hu Bin's face changed wildly, as if he had fallen into hell from thirty-three days, he knew best how many problems there were in Lei Qi's case, if it fell into the hands of Chen Menghe, wouldn't it cost him his life!
"Honorable, subordinate ......"
Before he could finish speaking, Chen Menghe had already gotten up, flicked his sleeves, and went down to the hall.
After leaving the yamen, my mood suddenly cleared.
"Uncle, there is a bathhouse in front, go take a bath, go and get lucky!" Wang Shimao suggested with a smile.
Tang Xiucai shook his head and said, "It's only been a few hours, it's nothing, let's go home quickly, don't let Tiancheng and Brother Zhu be in a hurry." ”
Tang Yi saw his father's eagerness, nodded in agreement, and the three of them returned home in a hurry, and met everyone, before they could speak, Tang Xiucai took off his Confucian shirt, and everyone thought he was unlucky. saw that Tang Xiucai found the tear in the placket, stretched out two fingers, and carefully took out a palm-sized rag.
Tang Xiucai let out a long breath and said, "Yi'er, this is the blood book that Lei Qi gave me, take a look!" ”
