    ?

    Zhang Hulu calmed down his anger, and then continued the trial and said: "Wang Er, my master, I will ask you again, do you know why Wang Shiteng and Li Tietou had a dispute?"

    According to Zhang Hulu's tone, regardless of whether the quarrel between Wang Shiteng and Li Tietou was true or not, he had already blamed Li Tietou's death on Wang Shiteng.

    Although Wang Er was a rough and stupid farmer in the country, he had always had enough foresight. From Zhang Hulu's tone, he could already hear that he probably believed his own words, and knew that it was time to accept it as soon as he saw it.

    I saw Wang Er kowtowed and said: "This little one really doesn't know. The little one saw that the owner and Wang Shiteng were arguing, so he didn't dare to go forward, so he went home secretly, thinking about going another day, but didn't expect  The owner has suffered such a tragedy"

    After Zhang Hulu listened to his words, he pondered for a while and did not speak.

    After a while, he opened his mouth and said: "Wang Er, according to what you said, apart from having disputes with Wang Shiteng, your boss, Li Tietou, has any strangers come to him in the past few days? Or he went to  Have you met any strangers?"

    Zhang Hulu thought of Tantai Wutian and little monk Rongxin.

    Wang Er had already told Zhang Gourd what Hu Cai asked him to say, so he was relatively relaxed at this moment. Hearing Zhang Gourd ask a stranger, he replied directly without thinking: "This little one didn't see it, and Yixiao's  Look, Wang Shiteng is more suspicious"

    "Bold! Slap your mouth!" Without saying a word, Zhang Hulu pulled out a stick from the stick holder, and sprinkled it in the lobby.

    Two yamen servants whose hands had been itching for a long time stepped forward like wolves to set up Wang Er. One yamen servant came up to pick up the stick on the ground and slapped him ten times in succession. Wang Er's face immediately swelled up.

    After the slaps were finished, Wang Er was stunned to remember why he had been slapped ten times just now, and he couldn't help but feel regretful.  But then he thought about it, how can he not be beaten when he arrives at the Yamen, anyway, the money Hu Cai gave him can be considered secure, and he feels at ease.

    Zhang Hulu felt a little relieved after beating Wang Er. For him, beating someone had a decompression effect.  After giving an order, take Wang Er back and continue to be detained. He will be released after the trial is over, and he will be asked to bring the second suspect to court.

    The old man was brought up second.

    ?This old man has been honest all his life. He has no children and his wife died early.

    Arriving in the lobby, the two rows of yamen servants yelled a few times, and they were so frightened that they almost peed their pants.

    Zhang Hulu was too scared to speak after asking several questions in a row.  In desperation, he had no choice but to detain him first, and try him again another day.

    In the afternoon, the short man was brought to court.

    Before Li Tietou came to Jiangping Village, this man was originally a "bachelor" in the village-this word was equivalent to a rascal in those days, and it has a different meaning from the current bachelor-bullying the weak has always been  He has done many things, and it is inevitable that he has colluded with lawyers to seek wealth and murder, so he is no stranger to Yamen.

    So, when he went to the lobby, he calmly answered questions and answered them. With a few words, he led the suspicion to Wang Shiteng, and he made up lies with good sense, reason and evidence. Zhang Hulu almost decided that the case was Wang Shiteng.  done.

    After the trial of the case that day was over, Zhang Hulu asked the book case to record all of them, and asked two men, tall and short, to mark the records.

    Originally, the other three suspects were to be interrogated the next day.  But Zhang Hulu wanted to interrogate Wang Shiteng immediately after hearing the testimony of the tall and short men, so he arranged for Wang Shiteng to be interrogated the next day.

    That night, Zhang Hulu felt that he had made a major breakthrough in the trial, and he was in a very good mood. He drank a few more glasses of wine, went to the concubine's room and ate a lot, and then went back to the study to rest.  His eldest wife did not accompany him to take office, and he took a brothel woman as a concubine during his tenure, but he still sleeps in his own room with the money box when he sleeps in normal days.

    He was in a good mood today and slept easily. He fell asleep after lying down for a while.  I don't know how long I fell asleep, but suddenly I felt something was wrong, as if someone was staring at him in front of the bed.  The feeling was so real that he opened his eyes involuntarily.

    Seeing this, he was so frightened that he couldn't sleep, and his whole body was about to stand up with a jerk.

    It turned out that a masked man in black was sitting on the chair in front of the bed, staring at him coldly.

    Seeing him wake up at this time, the man in black said coldly: "Mr. Zhang, don't panic. I have ordered you to send a letter to you"

    Zhang Hulu finally sat up, trembling.?: "You, who are you?"

    The masked man took out a letter from his bosom, stood up from the chair and handed it to Zhang Hulu, saying, "Magistrate Zhang doesn't need to know who I am, I'm just a messenger, just read this letter and you'll know everything."  knew."

    Zhang Hulu felt a little calmer at this time, took the letter with trembling hands, saw that there was nothing written on the cover, opened it, took out the letter paper, first went to check the signature, and it was signed by Changsha Mansion.

    Zhang Hulu was a little strange. He had never had anything to do with the Changsha Mansion, so how could he have a letter for him?

    The masked man handed him the letter, but he still returned to his seat and sat down, as if waiting for him to finish reading the letter.

    After reading the letter, Zhang Hulu cupped his hands to the masked man on the bed and said, "The matter entrusted by your lord is indeed under the jurisdiction of this county, but the approval of the death penalty has to be approved by the imperial court, and I can make the decision"

    "There is no need for approval of the death penalty. Does Mr. Zhang want me to teach you how to kill a person in prison?" the masked man said coldly.

    Zhang Hulu was stunned for a moment, then cupped his hands to the masked man and said, "In this case, please tell the strong man to the Shangguan, and the subordinate will definitely finish the matter."

    The masked man took out a large ingot of silver from his pocket, put it on the table, stood up and cupped his hands towards Zhang Gourd who was on the bed, and said, "In that case, Mr. Zhang, I will go back and return to my life."  He jumped out of the window and left without a sound.

    Zhang Hulu sat blankly on the bed for a while before he came back to his senses. After thinking for a while, he took the money box in which he held the copper coins, opened it, carefully put the letter in it, and put the money box away again.

    Then, tremblingly, he got off the bed with his own two legs, went to the table, picked up the big silver coin that the masked man had left on the table, looked it over and over again, went back to the bed and put the silver in the money box.  He sighed and sat down on the chair by the table.

    He sat on the chair until dawn, until the servants came in and asked him to wash and eat, then he absent-mindedly asked the servants to clean his face and freshen up, and had breakfast with his concubine.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
