Go to Kaifeng to be a civil servant

Chapter 15 Gong-Sun Dialectical Test in the Flower Hall 3

Everyone hurried to the flower hall, and just entered the flower hall, they saw a person standing in the center of the flower hall, cupping his hands and saying: "Master Bao, the old man has come to make amends."

Jin Qian looked up, ho, good guy, this person is really good-looking!

I saw this person wearing black gauze with square wings on his head, a scarlet brocade official robe, a wide leather belt inlaid with jade across his waist, and white silk stockings and black leather shoes on his feet. Looking at his appearance, he was over seventy years old, but he was a crane. She has a red face, a radiant face, a pair of crescent eyes, a natural smile, a two-foot snow-white beard, and the roots are transparent and elegant.If it wasn't for him standing in the flower hall of Kaifeng Mansion at this time, Jin Qian would really have thought that the birthday star from the sky had come down to earth in person.

Master Bao bowed back and said, "Prime Minister Wang, Bao Zheng is far away to welcome you."

Jin Qian nodded secretly, thinking: So this person is Prime Minister Wang, no wonder, no wonder, if we were the emperor, we would choose such a person to be the head of all officials, just looking at it every day makes me feel at ease.

Mr. Gongsun and Zhan Zhao saluted behind Mr. Bao, Mr. Bao and Prime Minister Wang sat down respectively, Mr. Gongsun stood on the left and right of Mr. Bao, and Jin Qian and Qin Xianglian had to stand behind Mr. Bao.

Prime Minister Wang shook his head slightly and said with a smile: "Lord Bao, the old man is here to make amends today, what are you talking about?"

Master Bao couldn't help being taken aback: "Why did the prime minister say that?"

Prime Minister Wang couldn't help turning his gaze to Qin Xianglian, and said apologetically, "I heard today that Qin Xianglian seems to be in a bad situation after returning from my mansion."

Master Bao couldn't help sighing when he heard the words, and narrated what happened last night and this morning in detail.

The more Prime Minister Wang listened, the more angry he became. At the end, he couldn't help raising his hand and slapped the side table, shouting loudly: "Then Chen Shimei is simply inferior to a beast!" After gasping for two breaths, he raised his head and said to Mr. Bao: "That Chen Shimei the day before yesterday When I came to the Prime Minister's Mansion, I said that I was sorry for Qin Xianglian's mother and son, and wanted to bring her mother and son into the Consort's Mansion, but the princess refused, so I wanted to borrow the old man's suburban mansion to meet and discuss. The old man saw his sincerity and sincerity , and thought that this is a royal family matter, let them handle it by themselves, so as not to go to court and hurt the royal family's face, but unexpectedly... ah... it's the old man who is stupid and didn't see Chen Shimei's vicious heart."

Mr. Bao saw Prime Minister Wang's solemn expression, shook his head and sighed, and hurriedly tried to persuade him, "Prime Minister Wang, don't blame yourself too much. Chen Shimei is really difficult to deal with because she is thoughtful, scheming, and has a high status."

Prime Minister Wang raised his head and said, "What Master Bao said is very true, but the current situation is very unfavorable to Qin Xianglian. I wonder what countermeasure Master Bao has?"

Lord Bao nodded and said: "Now we have Xu Tianlin, the prefect of Caizhou, as the witness that Chen Shimei ordered her to kill his wife and son, Han Qi's steel knife as the physical evidence, Jin Qian as the witness that Han Qi was instigated by Chen Shimei to kill, The criminal evidence is already complete, but the divorce letter in Chen Shimei's hand can remove all of Chen Shimei's above-mentioned crimes, it is really hard to do."

Upon hearing the words, Prime Minister Wang pondered for a moment, and said, "So, that divorce letter becomes the key to this case."

"exactly."

"Master Bao said that the divorce letter was only signed by Qin Xianglian yesterday, how can I prove it?"

"Although the divorce letter was signed only yesterday, the date on the divorce letter was five years ago."

"This..." Prime Minister Wang lowered his eyebrows and said nothing.

Jin Qian also had no way to deal with it, and thought: This ancient marriage law is too crude, full of loopholes, and there is no such thing as a divorce court. A husband can just write a divorce letter and he can divorce his wife. Write casually, at least it should be printed with the seal of the government to be effective!

Thinking of this, Jin Qian felt even more depressed, shaking his head and sighing unconsciously.

When Mr. Gongsun saw it, he couldn't help asking: "Little brother Jinqian, do you have a good plan?"

Jin Qian was taken aback when he heard the words, and when he looked up, everyone in the room was staring at him, and Qin Xianglian's eyes were flickering, making one's scalp tingle.

Jin Qian didn't know, Qin Xianglian couldn't help but be convinced by her own swearing just now, recalling Jin Qian's various actions before, at this time she also regarded Jin Qian as an outsider, and her anticipation was naturally palpable.

Jin Qian looked around, feeling extremely helpless, he couldn't help but silently gave Mr. Gongsun a glance, and thought: Brother Gongsun, can't we let us live a peaceful life for a few minutes, why did you bring us up for no reason?But this room is full of ancient people, so I'm afraid it wouldn't be right if I don't make some suggestions.Others don't mention it for the time being, just talk about the Gongsun bamboo, in case he pushes back and forth, he becomes suspicious again, and asks the cat to come to see him with a sword in the middle of the night—tsk...we can't bear such a stimulus.

Thinking of this, Jin Qian made up his mind, frowned slightly, tried his best to show a well-thought-out virtue, and said in a slow and deep voice: "I see, the only way out now is to bring the letter of divorce back to Kaifeng Mansion. back……"

"That's right!" Mr. Gongsun suddenly showed joy, and turned to Mr. Bao and said, "My lord, what little brother Jinqian said is reasonable. Although my lord read the letter of divorce in the son-in-law's mansion, time was short at that time. Even if there were flaws, my lord It's also hard to detect, why don't I bring the divorce letter back and examine it carefully, maybe I can find some clues!"

Master Bao was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly said to Zhan Zhao who was beside him: "Guard Zhan, the princess and concubine should accompany you in the palace at this time, and the divorce letter will definitely be left in the concubine's mansion, you can get it quickly."

Zhan Zhao immediately stepped forward and cupped his hands, saying loudly, "Your subordinate obeys!"

After Zhan Zhao finished speaking, he turned around and left. When Prime Minister Wang saw him, he hurriedly said, "Guard Zhan, it's getting late at this time. According to the palace practice, the princess consort will probably return to the mansion within a stick of incense. You have to go quickly." reply ASAP!"

"Thank you, Prime Minister, Zhan Zhao!"

Before the voice fell, I saw Dahong's figure swaying, a gust of wind passed by, and there was no one in the flower hall.

When everyone saw it, they couldn't help but secretly admire it.

Master Bao then turned around and smiled at Jin Qian: "Little brother really has a quick mind."

Jinqian choked on the half-word stuck in his throat for a long time, before he could laugh a few times, and replied: "Master Bao, thank you, thank you." But he said in his heart: What are you doing? The divorce letter was stolen to destroy the corpse and wipe out the traces, how did it become like this?

Stealing a glance at Mr. Gongsun, he saw that Mr. Gongsun was smiling with joy on his face, and Jin Qian heaved a sigh of relief: It seems that Gongsun Zhuzi is quite satisfied, and he has no suspicions—forget it, all roads lead to Rome, as long as Problems can be solved.

As soon as Zhan Zhao left, everyone had their own thoughts for a while, but no one in the room spoke, the huge flower hall was surprisingly quiet and the atmosphere was dignified.Jin Qian was so oppressed that he could hardly breathe, secretly hoping that Zhan Zhao would appear sooner.

Fortunately, the "Royal Cat" Zhan Zhao was excellent at lightness, and in less than half a cup of tea, the strong wind swept the room, and he saw Zhan Zhao in a red official robe standing quietly in the center of the flower hall, taking out a white paper from his arms and saying: : "My lord, this subordinate is lucky enough to live up to his fate, and has already brought back the letter of divorce."

Mr. Gongsun hurried forward, took the letter of divorce, and handed it to Mr. Bao.

Master Bao scanned several times up and down, then called Qin Xianglian to his face and asked, "Qin Xianglian, come and identify it, is this the letter of divorce?"

Qin Xianglian took a few steps forward, took a closer look, couldn't help but burst into tears, and said, "Master, it's this one!"

Mr. Bao nodded, and handed the letter of divorce to Mr. Gongsun, saying: "Mr. Gongsun must check carefully to see if there are any clues."

Mr. Gongsun took it and read it carefully, but frowned and remained silent for a long time.

Jin Qian was curious, and also leaned over.

I saw a few lines written vertically on the divorce letter:

The Xianglian of the Chen family and the Qin family do not abide by women's morals, and it is difficult for the Chen family to tolerate it. A letter of divorce is specially issued.

Writer: Chen Shimei

Signatory: Qin Xianglian

June [-]th of Bingxu Year

Under the names of the two people, there are red fingerprints.

Jin Qian's head was full of black lines immediately, and he thought: Is this Chen Shimei still the number one scholar? What kind of divorce letter is this written?He has no literary literacy at all, is unclear, vague, and has nothing to recommend except that his handwriting is passable and readable, but the two finger prints are extremely clear.

Looking at Mr. Gongsun again, he looked at the piece of paper several times up and down, left and right, and touched the paper again. After facing the sun for a long time, Jin Qian couldn't help laughing, and thought, "Gongsun Bamboo, that's just a piece of paper." The letter of divorce is not RMB, so can there be a watermark?Please, it’s not martial arts cheats, treasure maps, etc. You can’t float out of the map when you see the sun. You have chewed the letter of divorce, and there is no proof?

Unfortunately, Jin Qian guessed wrong this time, Mr. Gongsun did not intend to eat this divorce letter, but sniffed it carefully.

Suddenly, Mr. Gongsun frowned, his face burst into a smile, and he handed the letter of divorce to Master Bao and said, "My lord, the students have discovered something."

Everyone was overjoyed when they heard the words, only Jin Qian was shocked: This, this, this, this, Mr. Gongsun is not the ancestor of modern police dogs. How can you find clues just by sniffing with your nose? It's outrageous!

Master Bao hurriedly asked, "What clue is it?"

Mr. Gongsun cupped his hands and said: "My lord, there are no flaws in the words, dates, and fingerprints on the divorce letter. The students also checked the paper carefully. It is just ordinary rice paper. At first glance, it is indeed the divorce letter from five years ago." After a pause, he said again: "It's just that Chen Shimei kept everything secret, but there was a flaw in the ink on the divorce letter."

"What's the flaw?" Prime Minister Wang also asked anxiously.

Mr. Gongsun picked up the letter of divorce, spread it out, and said, "The flaw lies in the fragrance of ink on the letter of divorce. Students like to practice calligraphy since they were young, and since they followed adults, they have been studying calligraphy every day. I have experience with various types of ink. Judging by the fragrance of the ink, the ink used in Zhang Xiu’s book is the gold-washing ink popular in Kaifeng area recently. This ink has a special fragrance, similar to the fragrance of orchids. Hard to notice."

When Prime Minister Wang heard this, he frowned and twisted his beard: "Even if the letter of divorce was indeed written by Shu Jinmo, so what?"

Mr. Gongsun laughed and said: "The prime minister doesn't know, the material for making gold ink is rare, so it is expensive, and it is difficult for non-rich people to buy it. To tell the truth, students only have one piece."

Lord Bao asked again: "Even so, I'm afraid it can't be proved."

"My lord, do you know when this Shu Jinmo appeared?"

"What do you mean by that, sir?"

"The production process of this gold-washed ink is complicated, and the finished product was not sold until a year ago. A year ago, there was no such kind of ink. May I ask how Chen Shimei wrote the letter of divorce with gold-washed ink five years ago?"

When everyone heard it, they suddenly realized, and their hearts were overjoyed.Jin Qian was even more admiring, and said in his heart: Unexpectedly, Mr. Gongsun is more amazing than the anti-drug police dog. If he can go back to modern times, he must change the name of the pet dog at home, and change it to "God Dog A Ce"!

Master Bao took the divorce letter, glanced at it for a while, handed the divorce letter to Zhan Zhao, and said, "Guard Zhan, please return this divorce letter to the son-in-law's house quickly, be careful, don't let Chen Shimei find out."

"Your subordinate obeys orders." Zhan Zhao turned around and disappeared in an instant.

Prime Minister Wang looked at Master Bao, worried, and asked slowly: "Master Bao, now that the evidence is complete, what do you plan to do with Chen Shimei?"

Master Bao stood up abruptly, clasped his fists into the air and shouted loudly: "Of course it will be dealt with impartially!"

Prime Minister Wang also stood up, took a few steps forward, and said in a low voice, "Then Chen Shimei is the royal son-in-law, a pampered guest of the royal family."

Master Bao raised his eyebrows and said: "So what? The prince violated the law and committed the same crime as the common people. What's more, he deceived the emperor, killed his wife and children, and committed a heinous crime. If this government does not take care of it, how will the Kaifeng government be in charge in the future?!"

Upon hearing the words, Prime Minister Wang nodded slowly, with admiration on his face, he said calmly: "Master Bao enforces the law like a mountain, I admire you! If there is something I can do for you, I am willing to help you."

Master Bao was overjoyed when he heard that, and hurriedly said: "Prime Minister, do you really have something to ask?"

"Oh? What's the matter?" Prime Minister Wang couldn't help being a little surprised.

"The Prime Minister thinks that this mansion will go to the son-in-law's mansion to arrest Chen Shimei, what will happen?"

"Of course you returned in vain. How could the princess let you arrest someone?"

"So, the government wants the prime minister to write a letter to Chen Shimei, saying that he is invited to a banquet at the prime minister's residence. When Chen Shimei leaves the son-in-law's residence, the government can send someone to take him down."

"This..." Prime Minister Wang twirled his beard and lowered his eyes, pacing up and down in the flower hall.

Master Bao said again: "Is there something difficult for the Prime Minister?"

Prime Minister Wang waved his hands and said, "I'm afraid that Chen Shimei will refuse to attend the banquet. Wouldn't it be a waste of time?"

Mr. Bao shook his head and smiled, "How did Prime Minister Wang forget that Prime Minister made an appointment with Qin Xianglian for Chen Shimei before, how could he refuse Prime Minister?"

Wang Chengxiang was overjoyed when he heard that, and hurriedly said: "It's so good, I'll go back to the mansion to revise the book, and ask Chen Shimei to talk about it tomorrow."

Lord Bao immediately bowed and saluted, and said with a smile: "Then send the prime minister off respectfully."

Prime Minister Wang said cheerfully, "Your Majesty Bao, you don't have to send him far away." After saying that, he walked away quickly.

As soon as Prime Minister Wang left, there were only Master Bao, Mr. Gongsun, Qin Xianglian and Jin Qian left in the flower hall.

Seeing Qin Xianglian stepping forward, she bowed slowly and said, "Xianglian thank you, sir!"

"Don't be too polite, get up quickly."

But Qin Xianglian didn't get up, she just lowered her head and said: "My lord, it's just that Qin Xianglian's two sons and daughters are still in the consort's mansion, this..."

Master Bao and Mr. Gongsun suddenly looked sad.

Seeing this, Jin Qian sighed, walked to Qin Xianglian's side, knelt down and said, "Eldest sister, why are you still worrying about this? If Mr. Bao sentenced Chen Shimei tomorrow, then the son-in-law's mansion will not even have a son-in-law, and there will still be a son-in-law." What are your sons and daughters doing?"

Qin Xianglian heard the words, she couldn't help raising her head and asked, "Then what if Chen Shimei can't be sentenced..."

Jin Qian was helpless immediately, and said with a wry smile: "Let me tell you, big sister, if Mrs. Bao can't judge Chen Shimei, you probably won't be able to survive either. What do you want the children to do, why not let them follow the son-in-law, so that they can have a full meal." After a pause, seeing Qin Xianglian looking overly frightened, Jin Qian said again: "You don't have to worry too much, if Chen Shimei can't be sentenced, let alone you, it's just me, and everyone in Kaifeng Mansion is probably not good The end. Therefore, tomorrow's trial in heaven is a desperate battle, and if you fail, you will be benevolent. Don't think about it, get a good night's sleep, keep your spirits up, and prepare for the battle tomorrow!"

Qin Xianglian listened to the words and remained silent for a long time before slowly nodding her head.

Jin Qian didn't see it, Master Bao and Mr. Gongsun behind him also nodded at the same time.

-

Although Jin Qian comforted Qin Xianglian in this way, this set of rhetoric did not have any effect on himself. He did not feel sleepy all night, and his nerves were tense. When he got up in the morning and looked at the bronze mirror, he suddenly smiled wryly.I saw that my eyes were swollen and bloodshot, and there were two standard dark circles - a giant panda, a national treasure.

The atmosphere at breakfast time was even more tense, the whole dining table, several yamen servants, but no one spoke, only the sound of bowls and chopsticks could be heard, Qin Xianglian was so nervous that she dropped her chopsticks on the ground.

After breakfast, everyone went back to their rooms, and the yamen servants went to work, Jin Qian was anxious and couldn't help wandering around the Kaifeng government office, trying to relax, but the more he walked, the more anxious he walked towards the gate of the government office.As soon as he came to the passage in front of Yimen, he saw a group of guards rushing towards the gate. Judging by the time, they should be the ones who were going to capture Chen Shimei.

Jin Qian took a closer look, and saw that the team was dignified, with swords, guns, swords and halberds, and was well equipped. There were about 50 people. Looking at the leaders in front, it was the Four King Kongs in front of Mr. Bao, all of which were majestic and majestic. .And the one walking at the front of the line was the straight red figure with the three-foot blue spear and the jade-encrusted belt, walking steadily ahead without even the slightest hesitation.

Jin Qian watched these people go out of the gate steadily, but his mood calmed down unbelievably. He shook his head, walked back to his room, sat on the round stool, and suddenly smiled wryly: "Damn it, why are we so nervous about being poor?"After all, we can be regarded as people from the future. Who else knows what will happen to Chen Shimei better than we do?

Thinking of this, Jin Qian poured himself a cup of tea, squinted his eyes and began humming: There is a Bao Qingtian in Kaifeng who defends loyalty and traitor with a stern face...

About half an hour later, Jinqian suddenly heard the sound of drums in the lobby, and he couldn't help but cheer up: he has been promoted!Pig-headed Chen Shimei was arrested and brought to justice!

Sure enough, not long after, I saw a small yamen servant rushing over, shouting: "Jinqian, Mr. Bao sent you to the hall!"

Jin Qian stood up, straightened his clothes, and followed the yamen servant to the lobby.

When he came to the hall, after kneeling and worshiping, Jin Qian went to the hall to watch them one by one.I saw that apart from myself, there were already two people standing on their knees in the hall.

The male number one, the big villain boss, Chen Shimei, is still well-dressed and arrogant, but there is no seat for him today, so he can only stand angrily in the middle of the lobby.

The number one female, the sufferer and the plaintiff, Qin Xianglian, was kneeling beside her, bowing her head in silence.

Supporting roles plus witness No. [-], and myself, no need for a detailed list.

Master Bao patted the gavel and asked: "Jin Qian, do you know this thing?"

Jin Qian raised his eyes, saw the steel knife in Lord Bao's hand, and immediately said: "My lord, Caomin recognizes it. This is the steel knife Han Qi used to commit suicide."

"Then why did Han Qi commit suicide?"

"Returning to my lord, Han Qi was ordered by the son-in-law to kill Qin Xianglian's mother and son. Later, her conscience realized that she couldn't bear to do it, and she was afraid that she would not be able to return to the son-in-law, so she committed suicide."

"Nonsense!" Chen Shimei yelled, "I don't know Han Qi at all, how can I order him?"

Master Bao raised the steel knife and shouted: "Chen Shimei, you say you don't know Han Qi, so why is there the imprint of your son-in-law's house on this steel knife?"

Chen Shimei sneered: "Master Bao, steel knives can be faked!"

Master Bao said coldly: "Steel knives can be faked, but can witnesses be faked?"

"I believe that the words of these little beggars cannot be trusted."

Lord Bao immediately shouted loudly: "The words of the court order are credible?"

When Chen Shimei heard this, she was taken aback.

Master Bao patted the gavel and said: "Let's pass on Xu Tianlin, the magistrate of Caizhou."

The voices of the criminals went away, and after a while, Xu Tianlin came up with handcuffs and shackles, plopped down on his knees and said, "The prisoner Xu Tianlin kowtows to your lord."

"Xu Tianlin, I want to ask you, you beat Qin Xianglian into a trick in the Caizhou government office, and then sent someone to kill her mother, son, and Jin Qian during the escort. Are you guilty?"

Seeing that Xu Tianlin was trembling all over, he said tremblingly: "The criminal is convicted..."

"Then Qin Xianglian's mother and son have no grievances with Jin Qian and you, why did you kill him?"

"Back to your lord, the prisoner was instigated by others?"

"Who instigated it?"

Xu Tianlin immediately stammered: "Yes, yes, yes..."

Master Bao raised his eyebrows, slapped the gavel suddenly, and shouted: "Say!"

Xu Tianlin was so frightened that he shouted hastily, "It's Chen Shimei, the imperial son-in-law!"

Chen Shimei immediately rushed to Xu Tianlin's side, kicked hard, and cursed: "Nonsense! Nonsense!"

Snapped! !

The gavel sounded loudly, and Master Bao raised his voice and shouted: "Chen Shimei, don't roar in court!"

The third class of yamen servants immediately shouted Tangwei: Mighty——

Seeing this, Chen Shimei stepped aside angrily, and said with a sneer, "Master Bao, you said that I killed my wife and son, but it is completely unfounded. I am a royal son-in-law, why would I do such a thing?"

Master Bao said in a deep voice: "That's because Qin Xianglian is your first wife. After you were the number one scholar in high school, you were called to be a son-in-law. You were afraid that you would commit the crime of deceiving the emperor when you stopped your wife and remarried before it was exposed. Kill and silence!"

Chen Shimei sneered even more when she heard the words: "Master Bao, don't you want to listen to this unreasonable woman's nonsense. Qin Xianglian was divorced by my palace five years ago, so why stop the matter of remarrying?"

When Jin Qian heard this, he couldn't hide his excitement, and said in his heart: Here we come, the main event is on the stage!

Master Bao narrowed his eyes slightly, and said slowly: "You said that Qin Xianglian was divorced five years ago, do you have a divorce certificate as proof?"

"Of course there is!"

"Where is the divorce paper?"

Chen Shimei raised her eyes to look at Mr. Bao, and snorted a few times: "Master Bao, you naturally thought that I would not bring the letter of divorce with me, and would not let me go back to the house to fetch it, and wanted to beat you to death? What a pity, How can I be so dull? Ever since I received the invitation letter from Prime Minister Wang, I expected that when Prime Minister Wang invited me to visit the mansion, he would definitely ask about Qin Xianglian, so I have already carried the letter of divorce with me. Mr. Bao, you This wishful thinking is wrong!" After finishing speaking, he took out the divorce letter and handed it to the yamen servant who presented the evidence beside him.

Jin Qian almost spit out all the saliva in his mouth: OhMyGod, this Chen Shimei is a bit too smart, she forcibly let go of a chance to escape, originally you were going to say that you didn't bring the divorce letter, so go back to your house to get it, you are a dignified person Son-in-law, who dares to stop you, but now you present the letter of divorce yourself, and you are still complacent.

Thinking of this, Jin Qian couldn't help looking up to the back of the case, only to see that there was no surprise on Master Bao's face, as if he had expected this scene long ago.

Jin Qian thought about it a few times, and suddenly understood: Thinking about that Prime Minister Wang, he can still hold the post of prime minister at such a young age. What did she do to make Chen Shimei take the letter of divorce with her.Old Bao—Gongsun Zhuzi—tsk... I must have expected this!

Master Bao took the divorce letter, inspected it for a while, and then asked Qin Xianglian: "Qin Xianglian, the son-in-law said that this divorce letter was written five years ago, can you admit it?"

Qin Xianglian immediately kowtowed, and said loudly: "My lord, the woman is wronged! This divorce letter was signed by Chen Shimei forcibly in Prime Minister Wang's mansion two days ago."

Master Bao raised his eyebrows, and asked Chen Shimei again: "Chen Shimei, how do you explain?"

Chen Shimei snorted and sneered a few times: "Master Bao, the letter of divorce is clearly written in black and white. Master Bao may not prevent himself from seeing clearly, when is the date on the letter of divorce?"

Master Bao stared and shouted: "Chen Shimei, is this letter of divorce really written five years ago?"

"Of course it's true!"

Lord Bao suppressed his anger, shook his head slightly, and said, "Come here, tell the shopkeeper of 'Sibaofang'."

"Tell the shopkeeper of 'Sibaofang'—" The summons sounded away again.

Soon, I saw a slightly fat man in his 50s, wearing a long gown, walk into the lobby, knelt down and said, "Grassman Zheng Wen, I greet you, my lord."

Chen Shimei's face was full of doubts. She sized this man up and down several times, but there was no impression in her mind. She couldn't help turning her eyes to Bao Zheng, and said in her heart: Bao Heizi, don't think that I'm afraid of you because of your strange moves. I'm afraid of you. Want to see how capable you are? !

Master Bao asked slowly: "Zheng Wen, I ask you, what do you do for a living?"

Then Zheng Wen respectfully said: "My lord, Caomin is the shopkeeper of the 'Sibao Fang' and makes a living selling the Four Treasures of the Study."

"Then you have research on Mo Ke?"

"Back to your lord, that is the ability of the grassroots to make ends meet."

Lord Bao nodded, handed the letter of divorce in his hand to the guard, and said, "Then take a look, what kind of ink is this letter of divorce written in?"

Zheng Wen took the letter of divorce, looked at it carefully, put it on the tip of his nose and smelled it, then handed the letter of divorce back and replied: "My lord, I'm washing gold and ink."

"Zheng Wen, you can distinguish carefully. If you make a mistake, the government will not forgive you lightly."

When Zheng Wen heard this, he hurriedly kowtowed and said, "My lord, the grass people have lived on this for more than thirty years, and it is absolutely impossible to make a mistake!"

Master Bao took back the letter of divorce, put it aside, and asked again: "Zheng Wen, I would like to ask you, when did this Shujin ink come out for sale?"

"My lord, this ink material is rare, and the production process is complicated. It was not sold on the market until last year?"

"Didn't this ink exist before last year?"

"Back to the adults, it is absolutely impossible!"

Master Bao nodded in satisfaction: "Zheng Wen, you can go down now."

"Thank you sir!" Upon hearing this, Zheng Wen hurriedly kowtowed and turned to leave.

Mr. Bao raised his eyebrows sharply, glared furiously, held up the gavel, slapped it hard, and shouted: "Chen Shimei, do you have anything to say?!"

Looking at Chen Shimei again, her face was as pale as wax, her eyes were bloodshot, and her whole body seemed to have lost her soul, shaking continuously.

Master Bao patted the gavel again, and shouted: "This gargling gold ink was only sold last year. Five years ago, how did you use it to write the divorce letter? You clearly forced Qin Xianglian to sign this divorce letter two days ago! Chen Shimei, you are deceiving the king! Instigated, instigated murder, murdered wife and son, all serious crimes, now the evidence is solid, you still plead guilty?! Come on, take off his black gauze, take off his rolling dragon robe!"

When Zhang Long and Zhao Hu heard this, they immediately stepped forward and ripped off Chen Shimei's outfit. Whether it was intentional or not, they even loosened Chen Shimei's bun. Immediately, this majestic prince-in-law became a A disheveled and embarrassed prisoner.

Mr. Bao sat behind the case, concentrating slightly, paused and said: "Chen Shimei, you have committed serious crimes that are unforgivable, and the government will judge you to be a guillotine. Come on, I will serve you with a leading guillotine!"

The four yamen servants on one side of the hall put down their sticks, walked to the east side of the hall, lifted a heavy object and walked to the center of the hall.With a lift of the bright yellow brocade, the lobby suddenly lit up.

Jin Qian could see clearly from the side, and was suddenly startled.

I saw this guillotine, about five feet long, with a brass body and a cold iron blade. Shooting, faintly, there seemed to be bursts of buzzing hidden in it.

Jin Qian couldn't help taking a few steps back, thinking: This Kaifeng mansion guillotine really deserves its reputation, it's so sharp!Let's stay away from it for safety's sake.

When Chen Shimei saw the dragon head in front of her, she shook her body violently, finally came back to her senses, and shouted loudly: "This palace is the imperial son-in-law, who dares to kill this palace?!"

It's a pity that everyone in the lobby remained motionless, as if they didn't hear it.

Master Bao pulled out a red bamboo stick from the stick, stood up slowly, stared and said in a deep voice: "Open the guillotine——"

The Four King Kong immediately stepped forward, Zhang Long and Zhao Hu supported Chen Shimei, Wang Chao and Ma Han came to the sides of the guillotine, only to see Wang Chao push up the guillotine, and with a bang, everyone felt a cold light flash in front of their eyes, the guillotine was like the blood of a giant beast Mouth, thick and dark.

"Bao Heizi, I am the imperial son-in-law, I..."

Chen Shimei struggled desperately, but she couldn't get out of Zhang Long's and Zhao Hu's arms as a first-year scholar.

Mr. Bao held the order sign in his hand, frowned, and was about to throw it down, but he heard a shout from outside the door: "The emperor is here—the princess is here—"

When Jin Qian heard it: Yes!Chen Shimei's eldest brother-in-law, the emperor's younger brother, is here to disrupt the situation!Tsk tsk, it's a coincidence that it's better to come sooner than later!
