When Zhang Hebi heard this, his face suddenly became anxious, he wanted to speak, but thinking of Kang Xu's previous words, he didn't dare to speak rashly, so he had to stomp his feet.

Zhou Aliu saw that Kang Xu agreed, and his face suddenly appeared happy.

"However, the official is very curious, why does the dragon carved on this jade pendant only have one horn? Can you tell me about it? If what you say is right, the judge will judge you for it. Kang Xumo held the jade pendant and said curiously.

Hearing that the jade pendant was going to be awarded to him, Zhou Aliu's face was extremely happy, and he thought for a while and said: "Lord Hui, my grandfather once said that the unicorn dragon means auspiciousness and peace, so when carving at that time, it was deliberately carved like this. ”

Kang Xu nodded his head suddenly realized, he pondered for a moment, and then asked Zhang Hebi: "Zhang Hebi, you said that this jade pendant is yours, so you can also tell me, why is this jade pendant carved with a unicorn dragon?" ”

Zhang Hebi was stunned, he looked at Kang Xu, and said, "My lord, the carving on this jade pendant can't be a unicorn dragon." ”

"Are you sure? If the carving on this jade pendant is really a one-horned dragon, this jade pendant is Zhou Aliu's. Kang Xu said lightly.

Zhang Hebi's face was a little ugly, he bit his lip, nodded heavily, and said, "The student is absolutely sure that the carving on this jade pendant is definitely not a one-horned dragon. If a student makes a mistake, he'd rather be punished! ”

"This official asks again, do you still insist on what you say?" Kang Xu glanced at the two of them and asked indifferently.

The two barely hesitated, and nodded heavily at the same time.

Kang Xu picked up the shocking wood, slapped it violently, and suddenly shouted: "Zhou Aliu." You're so big, you're greedy. Vainly tried to encroach on other people's jade pendants, and dared to deceive the official. Come. Give me a heavy 20-big board! ”

Zhou Aliu suddenly panicked, and before he could speak, several murderous soaps surrounded him, pressed him down on the chair without allowing him to speak, picked up the wooden stick and beat him.

"Ouch~! Wronged! ”

"My lord, wronged, my lord, oops~!"

The entire county government was filled with Zhou Aliu's miserable screams.

This sudden change shocked everyone, and they began to discuss it one after another. Why did the county magistrate suddenly say that Zhou Aliu was greedy, could it be that the county magistrate had already identified the owner of the jade pendant?

The 20 boards were quickly completed, and Zhou Aliu was dragged to the main hall.

He lay on the ground and cried, "My lord, you have been wronged! The grass people are really wronged! ”

Kang Xu snorted coldly and said, "I haven't honestly admitted it after receiving the twenty boards, I really don't cry when I don't see the coffin." This official will let you die to understand! ”

Speaking of this, he paused and picked up the jade pendant. shouted: "Zhou Aliu, do you see clearly, is there a so-called unicorn dragon on this jade pendant?" ”

ordered the official to take the jade pendant to Zhou Aliu, and Zhou Aliu looked at the jade pendant carefully. The dragon carved on this jade pendant is clearly two horns, where can it be a single horn?

He suddenly understood that he was in Kangxu's hands.

"Zhou Ah Liu. Do you think this official is so easy to deceive? This jade pendant is priceless, will it be your family heirloom? This official advises you to recruit from the truth. lest they suffer any more flesh and skin, if there is deceit. Sin is one more! Kang Xu shouted coldly.

Zhou Aliu knew that he had no way to deny it, and he had just eaten 20 boards, and now he was in pain, where could he dare to deceive.

"My lord spares his life, I will recruit, I will recruit." Zhou Aliu lay on the ground and whined: "This jade pendant is indeed not a family heirloom of the grass people, this is the grass people fishing by the river, the villain is poor, although he makes a living from fishing, but it is also difficult to continue, I saw that this thing should be worth a few dollars, so I took it to the county seat, and wanted to exchange some silver money to supplement the family." I didn't want to be met by Zhang Xiucai halfway, he saw the jade pendant in the hands of the grass people, but he didn't say that he owned it, so the grass people fought with him. The two of us had an argument, so someone proposed to come to the county office and let the eldest master decide. The grass people are indeed greedy, so they deliberately deceive the adults, hoping that the adults will spare their lives, woo woo ....... ”

Kang Xu snorted coldly and said, "Zhou Aliu, don't think that what you have done can deceive everyone. If someone comes, he will be punished for the crime of contempt of the court, and he will be dragged down and put on ten boards again. ”

When Zhou Aliu heard that he was going to be beaten to the board, his whole face was as if he had swallowed dung, how ugly it was.

Several soap subordinates dragged him out, waved the wooden stick and began to fight, and after ten boards, Zhou Aliu almost lost his breath without pain.

"The previous 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China was a lesson for you to despise the court and deceive your own officials. These ten boards are to let you remember, don't be greedy in the future, do you accept it or not? Kang Xu asked in a deep voice.

Zhou Aliu cried bitterly, where did he still have the strength to speak, so he had to nod desperately.

"Zhang Hebi, since this thing is your family heirloom, this official will return this jade pendant to you, and you will carry it in the future, and don't be taken away by others." Kang Xu motioned to the official to send the jade pendant to Zhang Hebi, and said lightly.

Zhang Hebi took the jade pendant, knelt on the ground excitedly and kowtowed: "My lord is really a blue sky, thank you for finding the ancestral jade pendant for the students, the students are grateful." ”

"Since the things belong to their rightful owners, let each of you leave." Kang Xu waved his hand, made a judgment, and asked both sides to retreat.

Those onlookers were amazed at Kang Xu and admired his clever jade pendant dispute case.

At this moment, the drum in front of the gate of the county government was suddenly sounded.

Knock, knock, knock!

The dull voice instantly spread throughout the county office.

Kang Xu was just about to announce his retirement from the hall, when he heard the sound of drums, he and Xiao Wu looked at each other, and then sat back down.

"Whoever beats the drum, bring it up!" Kang Xu said in a deep voice.

A moment later, a middle-aged woman dressed in silk silk ran over crying, supported by a maid.

"My lord, please call the shots for us, woo woo woo ......."

As soon as the middle-aged woman entered the main hall, she fell to her knees and wept bitterly.

"Who is kneeling, and what grievances do you have, little by little." Kang Xu asked.

The woman cried heartbroken, and after a long while, she cried and said, "Sir, you must avenge my daughter, poor my daughter, who was in the prime of her cardamom years, but was killed tragically!" ”

Kang Xu was taken aback, but he didn't expect it to be a murder.

His face instantly became solemn, and he hurriedly asked, "What happened, you can tell me slowly." ”

The woman beat her chest and cried so badly, but when she was about to speak, she suddenly caught a glimpse of Zhang Hebi standing aside, she suddenly pounced in front of Zhang Hebi, grabbed Zhang Hebi and cried: "The surname Zhang, you murderer, you give my daughter back!" Give my daughter back! You, who have received a thousand cuts, will ...... my daughter's life. ”

Everyone was stunned, and they looked at each other and didn't know what was happening.

Kang Xu's brows suddenly furrowed, he slapped the shocked wood suddenly, and shouted: "That woman, the official is asking you questions, why don't you answer?" ”

The woman grabbed Zhang Hebi's arm and cried whining: "Master, he killed my daughter, he is the murderer!" ”

Zhang Hebi was grabbed by the woman, curled up his neck, looked at the woman with a blank face, and after a while, he reacted and said in a daze: "Auntie...... What do you say? Zhaoxue she ...... What's wrong with her? ”

"You're still playing stupid! You killed Zhaoxue, and now you still can't deny it? You thief, I'm going to kill you to avenge Zhaoxue! The woman thrashed desperately, crying heartbroken.

"Auntie, you said Zhaoxue she...... He's dead? Zhang Hebi's body shook involuntarily a few times, as if he couldn't believe his ears, and muttered to himself.

The woman was crying and crying, and suddenly she was so angry that she rolled her eyes and fainted.

"Madame, ma'am!" The maid beside the woman suddenly became anxious, hurriedly supported her, and cried out anxiously.

Seeing this, Xiao Wu hurriedly walked over, he touched the woman's pulse, lifted her eyelids and looked at it, and said, "It's not in the way, she's just angry." ”

As he spoke, Xiao Wu put his thumb on the woman's middle and pressed it lightly a few times, and the woman finally came back to her senses.

"Tell me, what's going on?" Kang Xu ordered someone to help the woman aside to rest, and asked the maid.

"Back to adults, I'...... My young lady was killed! The maid said timidly.

Kang Xu frowned slightly, and asked, "Where is your young lady now?" ”

"Lord Hui, the body of my young lady is now ten miles outside the city, and it is being taken care of by the master." The maid said.

Kang Xu pondered for a moment, and then said: "Chang Feng, you immediately lead a team of men and horses to Shilipo first, and the official will arrive later." ”

Chang Feng had already been restored to his job as a headhunter by Li Canghai, and after he received the order, he quickly left the county government with several officials.

At this time, the woman had already woken up, she looked at Kang Xu, and cried: "My lord, the little girl died a miserable death, you must be the master of the little girl, woo! ”

"Don't worry, this official will definitely find out the truth, catch the murderer, and give you justice." Kang Xu comforted.

"What else is the truth? The murderer is him! The woman pointed to the dejected Zhang Hebi and shouted.

Kang Xu's brows furrowed: "How can you be sure that he is the murderer?" ”

"My lord, you don't know that he covets my daughter's beauty and has long had ill intentions. My daughter stays in the boudoir on weekdays, and she hasn't seen anyone else except him, who else can he be? I beg you to catch this thief and make decisions for my daughter! Woooooooo The woman cried.

"My lord, I ...... I didn't, I didn't kill! Zhang Hebi was stunned for a long time before he came back to his senses from the shock and shouted.

"My lord, this case is a bit complicated, shall we go and see the corpse first?" Xiao Wu looked at Zhang Hebi and the woman, and felt that the matter here was too strange, so he proposed.

Kang Xu paced back and forth, nodded and said, "What the matter is, it still needs to be investigated by this official before he can make a judgment." Zhang Hebi, since someone has accused you of being a murderer, this official will temporarily detain you. ”

Zhang Hebi lost his soul, he suddenly knelt on the ground, kowtowed to Kang Xu a few times, and cried: "My lord, please find the murderer and avenge Zhaoxue!" ”

Kang Xu nodded, and then ordered someone to take him down, and then he took Xiao Wu to Shilipo. (To be continued.) )
