Seeing that this gang of arresters was about to come out of the way, the people gathered outside the yamen were already laughing. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Although it was the third watch in the middle of the night, most of the people who came to see the excitement were sleepy, and after this burst of laughter, they suddenly fell asleep. I only heard someone in the crowd whisper: "It turns out that these guys who eat imperial food don't have much ink in their stomachs." Although I haven't seen what it is like for an official to open a court to try a case, I have heard a few dramas, and if I were in the hall at this moment, I wouldn't be so embarrassed. ”

Another person said: "Brother, you don't know anything, although the so-called 'officials' and 'officials' both eat the emperor's grain, there is a big difference between them. Those who have drunk ink are 'officials', and those who have not drunk ink are 'officials', one is the one who came up with ideas and can enter the establishment of the imperial court, and the other is the one who has contributed labor and can only be regarded as the establishment of the local yamen, how can the two be compared with each other?"

As soon as these words came out, the surrounding people agreed, and someone added: "This is an excellent saying, those so-called 'officials' whose daily work is to collect rent in the east and beg for money in the west, shouting at the hawkers here and scaring the merchants there. ”

In the midst of everyone's laughter and discussion, I suddenly heard Xie Yixiang's cold voice coming from the court, and said coldly: "Above the court, it is strictly forbidden to make noise." Silence!". She was worried about where to start, but seeing that this gang of catchers was about to come out of the foreign appearance, which caused the laughter of the people in the hall, it did her a great favor. At that moment, Xie Yixiang looked at the golden catcher in the public court, and asked lukewarmly: "Jin Liang, these are the catchers brought out by you?" Let me ask you, how long have you been on an errand, and what official positions have you held?"

Seeing that Xie Yixiang turned the spearhead to himself, the golden catcher secretly scolded this gang of fast catchers for being incompetent, but his face was not to be outdone, and he quibbled to himself: "Adults and villains, these brothers have always been on errands in this town, and they have never seen any big scenes. Everyone was sleeping soundly tonight, and was suddenly awakened by the adults to ascend to the hall, although I don't know what the important case is, but the adults have an order, and everyone has to fight the spirit, and support it so far, which made some jokes. ”

Hearing Jin Zhutou's yin and yang weird words, Xie Yixiang immediately suppressed the anger in her heart, and smiled instead of anger: "Jin Zhutou, it seems that you haven't answered my question yet." But the golden catcher just snorted coldly, raised his head high, and did not answer.

Unexpectedly, this golden catcher was so stubborn, and it was clear that he wanted to compete with himself in this public court, singing a duet, Xie Yixiang couldn't help but be angry, and said secretly: "If I can't suppress these guys now, there will be no hope in the future." Since this golden catcher refused to give in, he couldn't say anything, so he had to solve it by force. At that moment, she sighed in her heart, and her right hand was slowly stretched out to her waist.

At this critical moment, I heard a catcher in the hall suddenly say loudly: "My lord is angry, Jin Zhutou has been busy with official business recently, and he hasn't closed his eyes for many days, so he is a little confused." Please also ask the lord to be gracious and allow the official to report on his behalf. As he spoke, he had already gushed endlessly, telling the life of the golden catcher, saying that he had never been on an errand in other places, and had been doing his best to be a catcher in this red dragon town.

Xie Yixiang immediately recognized this fast catcher who played a round game, but it was Lao Ye who accompanied him to the Yao family's ancient mansion a few days ago, and immediately sneered. It seems that this old Ye is actually the confidant of Jin Zhutou, no wonder as soon as this Jin Zhutou heard that he was going to the ancient mansion of the Yao family that day, he immediately assigned Lao Ye to go with him.

Since going through so many things in front of him, Xie Yixiang's heart has been transparent now, at that time in the Yao family's ancient mansion, the reason why this golden catcher wanted to secretly order and ask the crowd to quickly burn all the bones found from the attic was to hide some secrets, and he didn't want Xie Yixiang to explore the mystery, which was clearly the general intention of the flower-faced black-robed man who pretended to be a ghost that night. It can be inferred from this that the golden catcher in front of him, who is on an errand in the yamen of Chilong Town, is obviously inextricably linked to those black-robed people, and even this golden catcher himself is very likely to be one of those mysterious black-robed people.

Therefore, when Jin Zhutou heard that he was going to the Yao family's ancient mansion that day, of course he would think that he might discover the secrets hidden in the ancient mansion, and the reason why he sent his henchman Lao Ye to accompany him was not only to monitor himself, but also to sneak away at a critical moment and come back to report to Jin Zhutou, so that he could bring someone to deal with the aftermath.

At that moment, Xie Yixiang looked at the crowd of catchers in the hall, but he didn't see another fast catcher Lao Chen who was traveling with him that day, thinking that this Lao Chen was probably outside the circle of Jin Zhutou and Lao Ye, and he had nothing to do with them. Xie Yixiang has been studying under Zhuang Haoming for a long time, and he knows some of the ways of employing people in the officialdom, and the golden head catcher that day let Lao Chen also go with him, but it was nothing else, but he was just partial to his own people, so he threw this thankless and oilless errand to Lao Chen, an outsider, anyway, there was Lao Ye staring at him, and one more Lao Chen would not have much to do with it.

As for the fact that Lao Chen did not appear in this court at the moment, Xie Yixiang thought about it at a deeper level, maybe the purpose of Jin Zhutou sending Lao Chen to go with him that day, or even to take this opportunity to get rid of Lao Chen, an "outsider", so as to shirk the legend that "the Yao family's ancient house is haunted". She clearly remembered that the fast catcher Lao Chen was sealed by the black-robed monster that day, and she couldn't unlock it after trying many times, and in the end, Jin Zhutou sent someone to carry him away. At this moment, since this old Chen has not appeared again, most of them have been poisoned by Jin Zhutou and others.

Although Xie Yixiang had such a calculation in her heart, in this case, it was not easy to testify in court without evidence. After Lao Ye, who arrived in the hall, finished talking about Jin Zhutou's life history, Xie Yixiang thought in his heart: "The old accounts in the Yao family's ancient mansion that day just haven't had a chance to settle accounts with you. That's good, I haven't pursued it, but you jumped out on your own. ”

At that moment, Xie Yixiang's face sank, and he said coldly: "Ye Zhukuai, the official above the court has not asked questions, how can you allow you to speak privately and disturb the court? As she spoke, she took out an arrow from the wooden pot on the public case, threw it casually under the hall, and said, "According to the law of my court, anyone who disturbs the court will be imprisoned at least and beheaded at worst." This official thought that you were a first-time offender, so he opened the net and dealt lightly. Come on, catch this leaf and hit it on the spot fifty big boards. ”

Xie Yixiang is not wrong in saying this, it must be known that in the public court, without the permission of the presiding official, no one in the court can speak privately; even if he must speak, he must first ask for a "lord's grace" and only speak after obtaining the permission of the presiding judge. However, if you catch fast in an unfamiliar place like Lao Ye, where do you understand the rules of this? When he opened his mouth privately, he was immediately caught by Xie Yixiang, and if he was more serious, he was indeed disrupting the court.

As soon as Xie Yixiang's words came out, the inside and outside of the court suddenly fell silent, I didn't expect this little girl to turn her face when she said it, and for a while, everyone didn't know what to do. Seeing this, Mayor Wu hurriedly grinned, and was about to plead for mercy, Xie Yixiang said lightly: "What are you still doing in a daze? Do you have to ask this official to personally go down to the court to execute?"
