Tai Jia

Chapter 10: The Mirror Hanging High

When he returned to the county office again, Sun Xiong felt like reuniting after a long absence. He first took a bath and changed clothes, and then fell asleep on the couch until it was dark.

When he woke up, He Sheng respectfully invited him to have dinner with his lord.

Xu Shilian had suffered for him these past few days, and the usual dinner, which only consisted of beef and pancakes, was much richer, and there was even fish, shrimp and crab, which are abundant in Linhuai County.

Sun Xiong was overjoyed, and sat down opposite him after saluting.

"Tomorrow you will be promoted, and you still have an injury on your shoulder, so I won't serve wine. I will present you with tea instead of wine." How many innocent old people will die. Saving a life is better than building a seven-level pagoda, this is a great merit for you."

Sun Xiong raised his head and drank the tea, "If a person can do such a few good deeds in this life, it is worthwhile to come to this world. By the way, then Zhou Jianchang and Liu Yan will be fine, right?"

"Liu Yan was slightly injured, I have already asked the doctor to take a look at it." He Xihua smiled warmly, "You don't have to worry, you can follow the promotion tomorrow."

Sun Xiong frowned and said, "Although the case is clear, I still have doubts."

"Are you worried about the mastermind behind the scenes?" He Xihua smiled slightly, "As long as you find the account books, the truth will naturally come to light."

"By the way, did the account book master find it?" Sun Xiong clumsily peeled the shrimp, "As for who the master is, it may not be stated in the account book."

He Xihua sneered, "You are new here, so you don't know much about it. At first glance, it seems that people like Zhang Yuancheng have made their own decisions, but over the past few years, the population of the village has changed so much that the county magistrate may not know it, and the township head may not know it either. But it is impossible for the head of the village to know. Apart from the head of the county, the officials in charge of the nursing home in the county must know it well. Otherwise, the nursing home in a village is full every year, but new people move in every year. They don't think it is strange Is it?"

Sun Xiong was astonished, and felt chills in his heart, "This is my Xuanqi's official, the parental official that the common people say!"

"Tomorrow, I will give them a good time. It's just that I was thinking that the court set up a charity home with good intentions, but when it came to the village, it caused such a tragedy. In the final analysis, there is still no clear understanding. I want to make a statement to the imperial court, and ask the imperial court to handle it according to the regulations."

After finishing speaking, He Xihua looked at Sun Xiong and smiled without saying a word.

Sun Xiong knew that he couldn't escape, so he smiled wryly, "I tried my best to draw up a rough charter for my lord, but in the end it's up to my lord to make up my mind."

"Okay." He Xihua saw that he was eating shrimp in a mess, and couldn't stand it anymore, "Although you are from the north, you haven't eaten lake fresh food, right?"

Sun Xiong said with a stiff face, "The student's family is poor."

He Xihua shook his head, and peeled four or five prawns for him with his own hands. Seeing that he was almost done eating, he got up and said, "Let's talk about the matter in two days. Tomorrow, Shengtang will deal with these bastards first."

I don't know who leaked the news, the whole lobby was surrounded by water the next day, and even Sun Xiong was barely able to squeeze in.

He Xihua sat in the hall, his official uniform in green, which was not worth mentioning in the Xuanqi Dynasty, was shining brightly in the eyes of Linhuai people.

"Take the suspect."

Zhang Yuancheng, Geng Yu, Zhang San and others were brought up with their hair disheveled, and they knelt in a row like rice dumplings, while Liu Yan and a few others knelt on the other side.

"Honorable Zhang Lu, according to Liu Yan and others' identification, you, together with your wife Geng Yu and your servant Zhang San, conspired to kill and killed hundreds of people in the past four years. Can you plead guilty?"

Zhang Yuancheng raised his head and cried loudly: "Returning to the words of the adults, the little ones are wronged!"

"Injustice?" He Xihua sneered, "Let me ask you, the imperial court strictly prohibits the possession of weapons, why is there such a heavy crossbow in your little Taiping Town?"

Zhang Yuancheng choked and said, "My lord, there is something hidden! The little one used to be a crossbowman in the army. Because of his reluctance to give up, he secretly brought the two heavy crossbows back to his collection when he returned home. This time, someone reported to him. It is said that some criminals broke into the nursing home, and the young one had to use the heavy crossbow again to protect the many old people in the nursing home."

These words turned black and white to the extreme, and everyone showed disdain on their faces.However, He Xihua was not affected by his thoughts, and asked calmly: "Leaving aside what happened the day before yesterday, I ask you why the number of elderly people who died in your Taiping Town Nursing Home in the past ten years is twenty times that of the previous one?"

The people watching in the hall all exclaimed, Zhang Yuancheng just shook his head, looking innocent and pitiful, "The little one also finds it strange, and I have been thoroughly investigated by others, but I have never found anything wrong! It must be the people below Deceive the inferior and conceal the superior, and commit such a heinous crime behind my back!"

He was going to abandon the car to save his handsomeness.

Sure enough, Geng Yu suddenly raised his head, his face was full of calmness, "I did it, and it has nothing to do with Zhang Yuancheng."

"It was me who was greedy for wealth and honor, and I was confused for a while, so I came up with such a muddled mind to seek this life and wealth." Geng Yu bowed his head, "Everyone was killed by me and Zhang San and others, and I pretended to be Liu's wife. , in the nursing home to monitor all the people, and also to be the accountant, and the accounts are copied and rewritten by me alone, and have nothing to do with others."

He actually recognized them all... He Xihua frowned, scolding Zhang Yuancheng for being unlucky and Geng Yu for being stupid in his heart.

Sun Xiong was not very surprised, he just stared at the hall, thinking about the solution.

"Yu'er, you!" Zhang Yuancheng didn't dare to look at Geng Yu, weeping, but there was a bit of real emotion in watching.

That Zhang San said at the right time: "My lord, Geng Yu coerced me to do it all, it has nothing to do with others, please be aware of it, my lord!"

"How can he intimidate you to kill people and steal money?" He Xihua sneered, "Don't give false testimony just to protect others, that would be an even worse crime."

It's death anyway, do you still care about adding more crimes?Everyone was slandering in their hearts, and they heard He Xihua say grimly: "Death also has to pay attention to the way of death, poisoned wine and white silk, head in a different place, or divided into five horses, cut in half, or Ling Chi, the difference between them is huge. The best executioner can cut more than [-] knives without dying..."

Zhang San was hesitant to change his words, so he heard Geng Yu sternly shouted: "Zhang San!"

He didn't say much, but Zhang San visibly shook, and said firmly, "It was me who was instructed by Geng Yu, and no one else knew about it."

He Xihua smiled, "Forget it, it's not hard for you. It's just that your wife and children have been rescued by the official, and they are now being placed in the county government office. Would you like to see them? If you don't see them today, it will be the execution ground."

Zhang San was taken aback, He Xihua thought for a while and said: "If you invite them all up, it will also happen to let the neighbors recognize your face. When you are on the road in the future, the villagers can take good care of you."

Sun Xiong sighed viciously in his heart, and said that he would take a small threat from others and drag him to the hall to show the public so fresh and refined, he deserves to be a Tanhualang.

"Gag Zhang Lu and Geng Yu's mouths." He Xihua said coldly when he saw that the two were desperately trying to wink at Zhang San.

"I recruit, I recruit." Zhang San muttered to himself.
