The Huxian County Magistrate did not hide his disgust for Hu Wei. He came up and ordered the officer to beat Hu Wei 20 boards hard, and did not allow Hu Wei to defend himself at all. No matter how Hu Wei shouted for injustice, he ignored it.

The twenty-two boards were quickly beaten, and Hu Wei was knocked out of nowhere. He was a scholar. Although he was quite strong among scholars, he was not the kind of person who was as strong as a cow.

Of course, even the strongest person can't stand these twenty boards. Those servants saw that the county magistrate from home disliked Hu Wei, so they naturally would not show mercy. They did not have the benefit of taking Hu Wei, so they could not spare his butt!

When the Hu County Magistrate saw that Hu Wei was knocked unconscious, he waved his hand and said, "Get cold water and wake him up!"

The officer immediately took a basin of cold water and poured it all over Hu Wei's head. Hu Wei slowly woke up. Once his consciousness recovered, the pain on his butt would appear. Hu Wei couldn't help but speak sadly. If this big board was to make him hit twenty more, he would have to be so painful that he would be exhausted!

"County Master, students, students are falsely accused. The student has not killed anyone. Why did the county Master beat the student without asking clearly? Could it be that the county Master hopes that a murder case will occur in the jurisdiction?" Hu Wei hated him very much. He not only hated Feng Chuang's false accusation, but also hated the Hu County Magistrate, who beat people indiscriminately.

The Huxian County Magistrate was slightly stunned and thought to himself: "Yes, maybe it's a false accusation! Well, it's unlikely that so many people have evidence and physical evidence, how could he wrongly accuse him? This troublemaker named Hu Wei is cunning and wants to use this to deceive him!"

Thinking of this, he was angry, and slapped the table again and said to Feng Chuang: "Feng Chuang, is the murderer you exposed this person? Look carefully, don't know the wrong person!"

Feng Chuang was so happy when he saw Hu Wei being beaten by a board. The more embarrassed Hu Wei was, the happier he was. If the county magistrate could beat Hu Wei to death on the spot, he would be so happy that he would fly into the sky!

After listening to the question from the Hu County Magistrate, Feng Chuang hurriedly said, "If you look carefully, it's him, he is Hu Wei. The villain is a neighbor and he has known him for more than 20 years. He will never recognize the wrong person!"

The Huxian County Magistrate nodded and said, "You are sure you still want to expose his murder, right?"

Feng Chuang nodded repeatedly and said, "The villain heard him say he killed someone and robbed the money. He dared not hide it. He must expose him and cannot let him go to justice!"

"You still know some words when you are free!" The magistrate of Huxian County curled his lips and said, "If you reveal the wrong way, you have to sit back. You have to understand this. Do you understand what it means to sit back? It means turning the crime that he did not commit originally turned into your crime. He originally wanted to kill his head, but because it was a false accusation, it turned into a head that wanted to kill you. Can you understand?"

This is not to scare Feng Chuang, it has clear clauses. Volume 23 of the Tang Dynasty Rule Commentary: "All those who falsely accus others will sit back." "All those who falsely accus others will sit back." "All those who have suspicions and then falsely accus others will be accused of the crime, and they will sit back and stand back to the crime."

The Huxian County Magistrate didn't want a life lawsuit in his jurisdiction, so he solemnly asked Feng Chuang. If Feng Chuang was afraid and said that he had not committed any money to kill him, he would not have tried it, and the year-end evaluation would not be affected by someone's murder case!

When Feng Chuang heard that he wanted to sit back, he immediately hesitated. He didn't believe that Hu Wei really killed someone. He came to falsely accuse him, but just wanted to vent his anger and see Hu Wei's unluckyness. If he wanted to sit back, he would feel worthless. If Hu Wei was not be beheaded but turned into him being beheaded, it would be absolutely not worth it!

Seeing Feng Chuang hesitating, Hu Wei shouted: "Students are wronged, students are wronged. This Feng Chuang is obviously a false accusation!"

The face of the Huxian County Magistrate's face darkened. Could it be that Feng Chuang was really accusing him? He ran to the county government to falsely accuse his enemies to achieve the purpose of venting his anger. This behavior is so hateful!

The Huxian County Magistrate doesn't care whether Hu Wei was wrongly accused. Whether Hu Wei was hit by a wrong board or not, did it scare Hu Wei? It doesn't matter. If a little people beat him, he will beat him. What else can the little people do?

But Feng Chuang came to falsely accuse the county magistrate, who mistakenly thought that a murder case had occurred in the jurisdiction and frightened the county magistrate. That would be unrelated. The county magistrate turned against him, and the consequences were very serious!

The Huxian County Magistrate put his hand on the signboard. As long as Feng Chuang doesn't make any noise, he will decide that it is a false accusation. The so-called exposure is to seek personal revenge. He has already decided to hit Feng Chuang forty and beat him hard!

Feng Chuang no longer hesitated, and he said, "The villain did not falsely accused, because the villain was not the plaintiff, and the villain just exposed it and told the county magistrate truthfully what he heard, so this is definitely not a false accusation, and of course there is no need to sit back!"

Feng Chuang is also a bit clever in the world, or a wanderer, and he wants to use the difference between the two lawsuits to clear himself out!

The Huxian County Magistrate grinned and said in a cold voice, "You have the final say or not. It's up to me to decide!" He pulled out a tag from the signboard and threw it on the ground!

Suddenly, outside the yard, some people onlookers shouted: "Is it a false accusation? Just go find the body and look for it. There is a forest in the southwest of the city!"

The shout was very loud, and everyone inside and outside the courtyard heard it. The Huxian County Magistrate was stunned and did not throw away the stamp. The officers in the hall turned to look outside the courtyard, but there were too many people watching the fun at the gate of the courtyard. I really couldn't tell who was shouting just now.

The Huxian County Magistrate frowned. In fact, he didn't want to verify it, because the result of the verification may be that there was a corpse. Wouldn't that be extremely bad? If you don't verify it, then just pretend that there has never been this case and pretend that nothing has happened. Wouldn't that be good!

Put the stamp in your hand back on the signing tube, the county magistrate of Huxian thought to himself: "Who is so annoying? He shouted and said he wanted to go to the southwest of the city. There is a forest there, but it is not too big. Are there tree holes there?"

Because this is a public trial, someone shouted like this again. Huxian County Magistrate cannot pretend not to hear it. Although he really wants to pretend, he can only send someone to take a look and go through the motions so that no one will make any noise and spread to Shangguan's ears. That would be a bad thing.

The Huxian County Magistrate called the captain and said, "You can go there again and go to the southwest of the city to take a look. Go and go back quickly. I will not retreat, just wait here!"

The head of the captain immediately understood and took a few constables out of the yamen and ran southwest of the city. There was indeed a forest there. Because it was relatively remote, few people came over. At most, children would occasionally pick up firewood, but the people of Hu County knew the existence of this forest.

While squeezing out of the crowd, the headmaster asked the people watching the fun, and he said, "Who shouted just now makes sense. I want to thank him, who is it?"

What he said was a slander, and the correct meaning should be: Which bastard called me just now, but I had to go there like this, stand up and let me see it, and beat this bastard by the way!

No one answered. It seemed that no one knew who called it. The person who called it obviously did not want the captain to thank him. He did not leave his name even if he did good deeds, and did bad deeds, he would be even more unable to leave his name even if he did bad deeds!

The headmaster ran in front, and several arresters followed behind, running towards the woods southwest of the city, looking like they were busy with business!

The headmaster fully understands the hint of the Huxian County Magistrate, so just do it perfunctorily. Go quickly, come back quickly, and then end this matter, so everyone can have less trouble!

Running all the way, the captain went to the edge of the woods. When he looked back, he saw that the constables followed him, but he also followed more than a dozen people, all of whom were idle people who loved to watch the fun!

The captain was angry. Are these idle people full and full? Even if they follow them, they have to watch the excitement. If they don’t come, they will be perfunctory and turn around and go back to the yamen. But when they follow them, they have to go into the woods and go around. Is it a problem?

The headmaster pointed to the dozen people and shouted, "You all came to sign up. I see that you are all unemployed vagrants and idle. So in the future, if you lose things in the county, you must arrest you first and interrogate them carefully!"

This is really useful. Those people who love to watch the fun scattered in a hurry, and no one wants the captain to remember them!

The headmaster sighed and walked into the woods. He said to the constables: "Come around, let's go back to work. That damn Feng Chuang made us run so many detours today. We must repair him well and not break his legs. Grandpa will take his surname from now on!"

The constables were all out of breath. After hearing what the headmaster said, they said that when they returned to the yamen, if the county magistrate wanted to beat Feng Chuang's board, they would be punished, and they would have to beat Feng Chuang so much that even his mother could not recognize him!

The forest is not very big, just over a hundred trees, but they are all big trees, and there is even one big tree that is over a hundred years old. The bark is full of cracked cracks and dry roots, which looks like a sense of vicissitudes of time!

The headmaster walked towards the big tree and said, "I was busy in the past, so I never looked at the big tree here carefully. It turned out that this big tree really has a hole in it. It looks really big. Not to mention hiding a corpse, it would be fine if I could hide three or four!"

There is indeed a big tree hole on that century-old tree. The hole is half a person tall, with the hole facing downwards, and it seems to be connected to the roots, and it looks quite deep.

A detective laughed and said, "Boss, you really want to find the corpse. It's not certain whether there is a corpse or not. And it's not certain whether it's this forest. Let's go back and hand in the work early, and you'll be done long ago!"

The headmaster nodded, he was just curious. Someone outside called out the woods and came by himself. There was actually a big tree hole here. Is this a coincidence? If it was really a coincidence, then there should be a corpse in this hole!

He knew in his heart that this was impossible because there was no such coincidence in the world, but he still couldn't bear it and walked to the middle of the big tree and looked into the hole!

It didn't matter when he saw it, he immediately shivered, turned around, and shouted to the constables: "Come here and see what's in this tree hole!"

The constables hurried over. They all stood by the tree hole and looked into the tree hole. After seeing it, their faces changed drastically. No one could believe that there was such a thing in this world!

The headmaster's face looked extremely ugly. He said, "This is really strange. There are many this year. When we come here, we just take a look here and actually saw the body. Could it be that there are really murders in our Hu County?"

"The county magistrate will definitely get angry, maybe he will vent his anger on us!" The constables' faces became bitter. This was really unlucky!

In the cave of this century-old tree, there was actually a corpse, a corpse wearing blue satin clothes, but without a head, and a headless corpse!
