Chapter 7 Beating Them Both Conscienceless
Mingyue of the Song Dynasty http://www./0_1/ The latest work of Xiangnan Xiaoxiaosheng! Chapter 7 Beat them two of them who are heartless
Zheng Gangling is a relatively old-fashioned gentleman scholar. He can become a county magistrate because of his good articles, but he is a little worse when it comes to making adjustments, especially in solving cases, which is even worse.
Fortunately, Li Rizhi is far superior to Zheng Gangling in this regard. He gave Zheng Gangling an idea, and the idea was very simple. When Zheng Gangling heard it, he knew it would work and he would definitely be able to ask!
Taking Murong Zhi's wife to the second hall, Zheng Gangling said to the tough woman: "No matter how stubborn the prisoner is, as long as you fight dozens of bans, he will recruit whatever he asks him to recruit. Your husband Murong Zhi has already recruited everything, but he said it was the money you stole and it has nothing to do with him. Now I am here to ask you, did you stole Wang Dawan's silver?"
Of course, Murong Zhi's wife could not admit it. Although she was afraid, she knew that she would never admit it. Moreover, she did not believe that her husband would confess. As for the money she exchanged, it was pure nonsense, because the money was obviously changed by Murong Zhi himself, how could it be her!
This tough woman refused to confess, so it was naturally all within Li Rizhi's expectations, so he also prepared a few words for Zheng Gangling, as long as Zheng Gangling said it in order.
Zheng Gangling said again: "According to the matter of stealing silver, according to my "Da Tang Law", you will be beaten 100 pieces and then exiled for 3,000 miles. I guess I will be beaten and exiled again, and half of my life will be lost. So your husband said that it was the silver you exchanged, and you will bear all the blame. He said that the silver is still there and he is willing to return it to Wang Dawan. If you don't believe it, I will ask him in person!"
After saying that, Zheng Gangling didn't care about Murong Zhi's wife's reaction, and walked directly to the door of the second hall, opened the door, walked into the lobby, and shouted loudly to the outside: "Murrong Zhi, is the silver word still there?"
Immediately afterwards, Murong Zhi's voice came: "Here, there, the silver word is still there!"
Although the distance is quite far away, the sturdy woman can still tell clearly in the middle of the night. It is indeed the voice of her husband Murong Zhi!
After receiving the reply, Zheng Gangling walked back to the second hall, closed the door, and said to Murong Zhi's wife: "You must have heard what your husband said. Who of you did? Tell me clearly, otherwise you will be punished!"
Murong Zhi's wife collapsed on the ground, her whole body shivered, and she stammered: "I'll help you, I'll help you, but this is really not done by me!"
As she spoke, she started crying. Although she didn't dare to cry loudly, she could really hear it. She was really sad. Maybe she didn't expect that this would happen. Her husband actually betrayed her and asked her to take all her guilt!
In the second hall, Li Rizhi could no longer bear it and secretly walked out from behind the screen. Since there was only one candle in the second hall, which was placed in front of Murong Zhi's wife, he could see the tough woman clearly, but the other party couldn't see him clearly.
Murong Zhi's wife cried, "Master Qingtian, you have to be the master of my slave! It was obviously the devil Murong Zhi yesterday. Seeing that the skin of the Wang Dawan stored in the cabinet was full of silver, but when registering, there was no silver bag, but the money bag. He poured out all the silver and stuffed copper coins into it. These things were done by him, not by my slave!"
When she thought that she might be killed by a hundred big boards and would be exiled for three thousand miles, the fierce woman was so scared that she trembled all over. If she was killed by a board, she would have to lose half her life even if she was exiled for three thousand miles. If she was really said that she was the one who stole the money, then her life would end here.
The tough woman was very puzzled. Her husband was usually very nice to her. Why did she change her mind when she encountered a big incident? She was still so useless. Didn’t he say that as long as he didn’t admit it, no one could do anything to him? Why did he just get beaten up and get everything? He is such a useless waste!
Zheng Gangling snorted, clapped his hands, recruited two servants, and called a licensor, saying, "Take her down, record her confession, and let her sign and seal it."
After the officer took Murong Zhi's wife away, Zheng Gangling suddenly laughed and said, "When I first heard about this case, I felt helpless, but when I reminded you, the case was solved so easily."
Li Rizhi was very proud and said, "My nephew calculated with his fingers. In fact, this case is just a matter of a little, and it can be solved casually!"
Zheng Gangling also smiled. He wanted to say that his nephew likes to brag at such a young age, but then he thought that he really didn't brag. Wasn't this case just easily solved by him?
After waiting for a while, the officer took Murong Zhi's wife back, and the bookkeeper presented the confession. Zheng Gangling looked at it and saw that the confession was completely in line with the specifications and his handprints were all pressed. He said, "Take her to the yard in front. Those on duty will be more careful tonight. Just don't kill anyone. For other things, let them do it for half a night. The rest of them will wait and go back to sleep!"
The officer and the clerk agreed in unison and took Murong Zhi's wife to the front yard. Suddenly, there were screams of exclamations and reprimands from the front yard.
After the matter was resolved, Zheng Gangling took Li Rizhi to the back house. His uncle and nephew were hungry, but they should not eat too much before going to bed. However, he ate some supper and went back to his room to sleep.
The front yard of the county government office is bustling. The servants hate the Murong family and have troubled them in the middle of the night. Since you are troubled by the bad guy, don’t blame him for troubleing you!
The officers lit another candle and placed it in front of Murong Zhi's wife. Then another candle was placed in front of Murong Zhi. In the whole yard, except for the moonlight, there were only the light emitted by these two candles. After doing this, the guests who were witnesses and Murong Youniu all saw the couple's faces clearly!
Murong Zhi was shocked and saw his wife kneeling beside him. He said anxiously: "Why are you here, you woman?"
"You damn, do you think I'm coming here?" His wife was anxious and said ignorantly: "If you hadn't taken anything and said that I had exchanged money, could I kneel here? You are such a useless thing, as long as you don't admit it, why should you admit it?"
Murong Zhi didn't understand for a moment, and he said, "What? What am I doing?"
But he didn't understand, but everyone who listened next to him understood. As long as he didn't admit it, it would be enough. Why do you have to admit it? Isn't that just because Murong Zhi stole the money to exchange for money, and they kindly testified for him, but ended up suffering from this unpredictable disaster and were taken here to kneel down in the middle of the night!
When he thought of perjury, not only did the guests get angry, but the village chief Murong Youniu almost fainted. He only felt that his future was over. This was really a pity by his relatives. It was impossible for him to continue doing it here!
Murong Zhi and his wife spoke, and the servants scolded them a few words, and after they scolded them, they all left the yard and found a place to rest. As soon as the servants left, the people in the yard suddenly became in chaos!
Murong Youniu suddenly collapsed on the ground, pointing at Murong Zhi so much that tears flowed down his eyes. He said, "Murrong Zhi, you are a conscientious thing, you are going to cheat me to death. I am a village chief, and after all, he is a member of the official family. You dare to cheat me!"
The village chief is really not a member of the official family, but Murong Youniu is so obsessed with it. Now he has made perjury and has been exposed by the county magistrate. How could he continue to be a village chief? If he can't be a village chief, it would make him feel uncomfortable than taking his life!
The guests who were witnesses were extremely angry, and they were kind enough to help. After all, they saw that Wang Dawan was talking about money bags, not silver bags, so they just made a favor and helped the shopkeeper with a certificate. They also hoped that Murong Zhi would be grateful and cut two money for staying in the hotel for them. After all, everyone was not rich.
Murong Zhi's wife hasn't understood the taste yet. She still thought Murong Zhi had confessed and even put the charge on her. She is a tough woman and is not so easy to bully. This dead ghost in her family is just scratching her!
Murong Zhi scolded the stupid woman, she was obviously fooled, she was still stubborn, but this stupid woman confessed first and had to beat her up, which was a rebellion!
The two of them quarreled in a low voice, and after a moment, the voice became louder and louder. Murong Zhi was furious and could no longer bear it, so he slapped his wife. Then his wife was also angry and was quite fierce, so she was not willing to be beaten for nothing. She scratched her hand and scratched her five blood marks on Murong Zhi's face!
The couple started fighting. Murong Youniu was extremely angry and reached out to grab Murong Zhi's hair and shouted: "Tick him, scratch him!"
Murong Zhi's wife indeed rushed over and scratched her hard, yelling at the same time. The guests next to her didn't dare to speak loudly, let alone hit someone, and knelt in the yamen. Who can't be afraid, especially since they all came from other places, and their most feared thing was to sue in other places!
When the guests saw Murong Youniu hit someone, they hesitated for a moment. But they saw that the three of them were fighting together, but no officers came out to scold him. They became brave and rushed over together and beat Murong Zhi. After a while, even Murong Zhi's wife was beaten, and Murong Youniu was hit by a few times!
Their fight was in a mess, but the servants did not come out to stop it immediately. They fought for almost two quarters of an hour. The people in the yard were tired of fighting. The servants came out and forced everyone away and asked them to kneel down!
The leading officer is a captain named Duan Baokang. Among the officers on duty tonight, he is the leading officer.
Duan Baokang walked to Murong Zhi and his wife with a lantern in his hand. Seeing the couple lying on the ground and humming. Although they were beaten up, they had no worries about their lives.
Duan Baokang laughed and said to Murong Youniu and the guests next to him: "Do you can't bear to leave them? You still haven't had dinner at night. After fighting for so long, you haven't beaten them to death!"
Murong Youniu said with a bitter face: "I dare not, I dare not, villains are law-abiding people, so how can they beat people? Besides, they are not guilty of death. If they are beaten to death, wouldn't these guests become murderers?"
The guests' faces changed. What he said was as if he hadn't hit someone just now, but it was actually the first one he had!
Duan Baokang shook his head and said, "It seems that your inner-level chief can't be the one you can do. I originally thought that you could beat these two thieves. After all, you are the inner-level chief, and you must be justice first. You can't just think that they are your relatives, but you didn't even take action. It seems that this is a favoritism and abuse of power. I think you can't be the one you can do!"
