[Water Margin] Ximen is a fake official

The cold autumn rain was swept in by the wind and fell on Wu Song's back, but he seemed unaware.

A brightly dressed lady with a gentle and charming appearance was led into the hall by the yamen servants with her head bowed.

Wu Song's eyes were burning with anger as he watched this magnolia pass by him.

He moved his fingers, but because he was wearing a shackle, he couldn't do anything at all.

Magnolia is getting closer.

As long as he kicks, he can take revenge.

At this time, there was a cough in the room.

Wu Song was startled, and came back to his senses.

He took a quick look at Ximen Qingqing, and lowered his head in shame, to see what he almost did just now in front of the high official Ximen.

Hearing the cough, Yulan, who had been lowering her head and trembling all over, was afraid of being beaten up by Wu Song, also raised her head and looked in the direction of the sound.

She immediately met Ximen Qingqing's eyes.

She had never seen such a handsome official!

Yulan was stunned for a moment, but when she came back to her senses, her cheeks were flushed, and she lowered her head shyly.

If you can follow such an official, even if you are a slave or a concubine, it is better than following those seventy and eighty-year-old officials.

Yulan's heart felt hot.

Then, she saw Wu Song take a step back under the official's sight.

She breathed a sigh of relief.

Was the official helping her just now?Does this official mean something to her?

Yulan's eyes were almost full of spring water, she raised her head, and took another look at Ximen Qingqing.

Chai Jin, who was watching from the sidelines, saw this scene seriously, and thought to himself: This Ximen official is really likable.

For some reason, there was a feeling of unhappiness in his heart.

Chai Jin comforted himself, probably because he couldn't see such a muddy woman like Ximen Qing like a bright moon.

After Yulan noticed Ximen Qingqing's presence, she acted even more gracefully, assuming a posture of being vulnerable.

She knelt down in front of the hall, and said in a gentle voice: "My family pays respects to your lord."

Then, she turned in another direction and saluted Ximen Qingqing.

She raised her head slightly, lowered her eyelashes, and peeked at Ximen Qingqing from under her eyelashes.

Ximen Qingqing rubbed his chin with his fan.

If she guessed correctly, this lady is trying to charm her, right?

The magistrate of Mengzhou Prefecture looked at Ximen Qingqing eagerly, "Do you have any questions, sir?"

Listening to the magistrate's words, Yulan's eyelashes trembled, she lowered her head, and specially adjusted her posture so that her best-looking side faced Ximen Qingqing.

Ximen Qingqing chuckled, this girl probably didn't know that she had seen it, right?

This kind of pediatric charm is left over from her play. After all, charm is one of the necessary skills for a detective. She doesn't need charm skills, she can also charm with actions and words alone.

Ximen Qingqing: "Are you the witness of Wu Song's theft?"

Yulan whispered, "It's the slave family."

Ximen Qingqing: "Tell me, what is your identity?"

Yulan lowered her head, revealing the white and greasy back of her neck, she said slowly: "My family is the adoptive mother of Zhang Yanei's family, the guardian of Mengzhou's army and horses."

The so-called foster mother in this era refers to their maidservants.

Ximen Qingqing: "When did you meet Wu Song?"

Yulan: "In the mid-autumn festival, Superintendent Zhang held a banquet in Yuanyang Tower, let the slave family sing, and rewarded the slave family to Wu Song as his wife. That's how we recognized him."

Ximen Qingqing: "Is this the day when the incident happened?"

Magnolia nodded.

Ximen Qingqing: "Raise your head and speak."

Her elongated voice is also extremely alluring.

Yulan blushed and raised her head shyly.

Ximen Qingqing: "And then?"

Yulan: "Wu Song got drunk at the banquet. Later, I helped him back to his room and heard him say that he was jealous of Supervisor Zhang's treasure."

"You!" Wu Song was about to refute something, but his arm was held down by Hua Rong.

Hua Rong looked at him, "Wait."

Wu Song gritted his teeth and had no choice but to continue to endure.

Yulan trembled with fright when she heard Wu Song's roar.

Then, she heard footsteps and saw a pair of official boots getting closer to her, and the slightly dangling hem of the clothes fell in front of her and hit the ground.

Master Ximen squatted down in front of her.

Ximen Qingqing: "Raise your head."

Yulan panicked, and slowly raised her head, her eyes still downcast.

Ximen Qingqing: "Look at me."

Yulan blushed and murmured softly: "My lord..."

Ximen Qingqing: "I want to see if you are lying."

Yulan panicked and looked up at her.

Catching her gaze again, Yulan almost passed out with a groan.

What a beautiful person.

Ximen Qingqing: "You did hear that Wu Song was going to steal?"

Yulan stared at her, "Yes."

"go on."

Yulan looked into her eyes, "When I heard this, I thought it was him talking big, so I didn't take it to heart. At night, I saw Wu Song in the back hall. When he saw me, he immediately ran to the back garden in a panic. Then, he was held down by the soldiers in the mansion."

Ximen Qingqing smiled, "Really?"

Yulan: "My lord, there is no half-truth in my family."

Ximen Qingqing smiled, "Oh, there is no lie, so why are you sneaking around in the back hall when you don't go to bed in the middle of the night?"

Magnolia was startled.

"Help Wu Song back to the house, look at Wu Song's figure, and then look at yourself, if he is really drunk enough to reveal such a big thing as the theft, he may have already lost his ability to act, what kind of person are you? Someone helped him go back?"

Yulan hurriedly said: "My lord, it's my family who made a mistake. It was the military man who sent Wu Song back. I went to take care of him later, so I listened to what he said."

"Such an important matter, you actually said it now?"

Ximen Qingqing stood up and shook the dossier, "You said that when I recorded your statement for the first time; when I asked you for the second time, you still said that, and you can still say it once you make a mistake. Wrong twice?"

Yulan bit her lip.

"Return the confession in court, do you really think me and the magistrate are fools?"

Ximen Qingqing slammed the file on the desk, making a dull sound.

Both Yulan and Zhifu were taken aback.

Ximen Qingqing: "Why did you appear in the back hall at that time, I haven't said it yet. Could it be that you are the one who stole? Or, are you an accomplice?"

Yulan panicked completely, "No, my lord, it's not my family, my family was wronged, my family was there because... because... because my ring fell off."

Yulan cried and said: "That is the ring that my family has carried for many years, and it has never left. I don't know why it was lost that day. My family went to the back hall during the day, so I wanted to look for it at night when no one was around. .”

Ximen Qingqing looked at her with a smile, "Did you find it?"

Yulan: "Perhaps it was taken away by someone with shallow eyelids, but my slave didn't find it."

"Oh."

Ximen Qingqing came over, "You have worn the ring for many years, on which hand?"

Yulan's hands shrank back into their sleeves subconsciously, "The right hand."

Ximen Qingqing flicked her fan and raised her tender right hand.

She looked down for a while, then smiled, "Miss Yulan, don't you think I've never worn a ring?"

"If the ring has been worn for many years, it will definitely leave a mark on the finger, so may I ask you, where is the mark on your ring?"

Yulan was stunned, "Huh?"

Ximen Qingqing withdrew the fan, "I advise you to tell the truth. Lying in court will aggravate your crime."

With his back turned to her, Ximen Qingqing went to the table to look at the files, "How many times has Wu Song been beaten with sticks? Oh, they were beaten with a batch of bamboo."

Ximen Qingqing looked at the magistrate, "I haven't seen what the bamboo slices look like, can you show me?"

The magistrate was afraid that he would be troubled by this matter, so he quickly scolded the yamen servant: "Go and get it!"

The yamen servant brought the batch of bamboo slices.

Ximen Qingqing took a look.

The so-called batch of bamboo slices is a punishment tool made of bamboo. One end is a stick, and the other end is tied with countless bamboo slices. These bamboo slices are finer than the teeth of a hair comb. There is tenacity, being slapped like this, it is almost painful, and the wound will be scraped by the thin bamboo slices, maybe even the flesh can be scraped off.

The front of the batch of bamboo slices that the yamen servant showed Ximen Qingqing was dark brown, it was stained with blood, and it couldn't be cleaned no matter how much it was washed.

Ximen Qingqing sneered, "Is this how your lord judges the case, beating up the suspects indiscriminately and forcing them to confess?"

Ximen Qingqing took the batch of bamboo from the yamen servant, and tapped it on the desk in front of the magistrate, "How many people do you think can endure this kind of torture?"

The magistrate was afraid that he would beat him, so he tried his best to hide, "My lord, I didn't think carefully about this matter, but it's not all due to me, everyone judges the case like this."

Ximen Qingqing: "Who do you think judges cases like this? I will hand over the list to His Majesty."

The magistrate thought to himself: Then do I still have a living head?

He said nothing.

Ximen Qingqing turned his attention to Yulan again. Yulan looked at the instrument of torture in his hand, her heart trembled, and she wailed violently: "My family has recruited, my family has recruited, this matter has nothing to do with my family at all, it's all about Zhang The supervisor forced the slaves to do it, adults must not torture the slaves."

Yulan now completely remembered who this beautiful official was.

The jade-faced judge, Ximen Qing, has a beautiful face, an unselfish face, and cruel methods. He will impose the punishment in the Temple of Yama on the prisoners. She, how can she bear it!

She saw the scene of Yan Luo Palace behind him!

Yulan's face was ashen, and she was completely frightened, and she told the whole thing she knew about this matter.

Ximen Qingqing: "Take her down first, let her sign her testimony, and then..."

She snorted coldly, "Bring that Inspector Zhang."

The magistrate looked at Ximen Qing tremblingly, only to see a sudden flash of thunder in the sky behind him, as if God was angry.

God!
