Songjiang Prefecture, court.

When the Yamamaster, who was about to execute the execution, heard Hai Rui stopping, he couldn't help but stop preparing to hit the board, and turned his head to look at Lin Run, who was sitting upright in the hall.

Lin Run's face was as heavy as water, she turned her head and looked at Hai Rui and asked coldly: "Prince Hai, I am the governor here to investigate the case. What is your intention to run out to stop it?"

"The official said earlier that there are still many suspicious points in this case!" Hai Rui felt Lin Run's sharp gaze and responded neither humbly nor arrogantly.

Although Lin Run was his superior, he had always had a clear conscience since he became an official, so he naturally would not be afraid of Governor Yingtian who often looked for flowers and willows.

In particular, Zhang Daniu's case was not for anyone he had favoritism, but for the fact that there were many suspicions in this case, it was just that Lin Run hurriedly interrogated Zhang Daniu to please the Xu family, and now he wanted to make a fuss about Zhang Daniu.

That's right, facing Lin Run's threat from Shangguan, Hai Rui didn't care at all, and resolutely insisted on his own principle of being an official.

Lin Run was not satisfied with Hai Rui's answer, but accused coldly: "This governor has found out the fact that he robbed the tomb, but it is just a traitor. Don't favor this evildoer!"

this……

When everyone in the hall saw that the Governor of Yingtian, Lin Run and Songjiang Prefect Hai Rui had a direct verbal conflict here, they couldn't help but look at each other.

"Governor, Zhang Daniu's past actions were indeed not to rob the tomb. This is guaranteed by the official!" Wang Honghai had just returned from another place and stood up and said seriously.

Lin Run narrowed his eyes and looked at the dusty Wang Honghai, but knew that Wang Honghai was not only from the Hanlin Academy, but also Lin Shiran's favorite disciple.

Although he is only a small fifth-rank Songjiang Tongzhi now, he has this relationship with Lin Weiran, and it is a high probability that he will return to the capital in the future.

Lin Run didn't want to get into evil with Wang Honghai, so he suppressed the anger in his heart and said, "Zhang Daniu dug out other people's coffins, why isn't he a tomb robber?"

Hai Rui felt the change in Lin Run's attitude, but he knew that Lin Run was really afraid of not only Wang Honghai, but also Master Lin standing behind Wang Honghai.

"Governor, after the officials came to the field for investigation, what Zhang Daniu was going to dig earlier was not the coffin, but a... a village that disappeared!" Wang Honghai's eyes fell on Zhang Daniu, and he said in a shocking voice.

"The disappearing village?" Lin Run frowned when she heard this answer.

Huh?

When the people in the hall heard this argument, they couldn't help but cheer up, but they turned their heads and looked at Wang Honghai, the co-magistrate of Songjiang Prefecture, in even more confusion.

Although Wang Honghai is not as famous as Hai Rui, this Tanhualang had a very good official reputation during his tenure as Shanghai County, and now he has performed well as the Tongzhi of Songjiang Prefecture.

The same is true. Even though Wang Honghai's words are confused, they still listen carefully.

Wang Honghai looked around the people present with confusion and said seriously: "This village is unknown, but because it is located in Baihe Ridge, it is also called Baihe Village at the time. Because the village is located in the lower reaches of Baihe Dam and is located in a remote corner, this village is sometimes turbulent and changing, which has always given people a very mysterious feeling, and the number of people is sometimes too high and sometimes small!"

"Wang Tongzhi, you have been talking here for a long time, but I don't know what this matter has to do with Zhang Daniu's tomb robbery? Zhang Daniu's dig of the coffin of my uncle's lineage is as proof as a mountain. Even if you, Tanhua Lang, are so clever, you cannot escape his guilt!" Xu Ying no longer chose to avoid taboos, and lined up the crowd and walked into the court to question.

Although he was a casual seventh-rank official who entered the officialdom because of his kindness, and has now resigned from his post and returned to his territory, he is also considered a person in the officialdom, so he is qualified to stand here to talk to Hai Rui and others.

Lin Run also didn't want to be led by Wang Honghai, so he immediately agreed: "What Lord Xu said is reasonable. This time it has nothing to do with the case. Wang Tongzhi, don't favor this evil man!"

"Governor, please wait until the officials finish their words!" Wang Honghai responded to Lin Run with a smile, then turned his head and looked at Xu Ying and said, "Young Master Xu, the rest may not know, but you really shouldn't know! When Baihe Dam broke the dam, there was no Baihe Village in the world, and there were hundreds of acres of fertile land in the Baiheling area under the name of the Xu family. How should this be explained?"

Things in the world are so magical. They can always have some connection with the Xu family when it comes to the land affairs related to Songjiang.

"It turns out that the Xu family's hundreds of thousands of acres of land were obtained in this way!"

"Haha... Qi Jifang had no major generals assigned the Xu family to the bossless land!"

"There are no more than so many homeless places, just some poor people who are bullied!"

...

After the people in the hall learned about this, the Xu family owned hundreds of thousands of acres of fertile land, but they all spoke for the dead Baihe Village villagers.

Now things are gradually becoming clear. Zhang Daniu is not digging out some coffins, but wants to dig out the corpses of Baihe Village and make the truth buried by the flood public.

"Wang Tongzhi, my Xu family's fertile land has income from developing new fields, and also normal sales and purchase income. Every acre of land is included in the government's book and pays taxes and grains to the government as scheduled. Don't throw dirty water on my Xu family here!" Xu Ying didn't expect that the fire suddenly burned to his home, and immediately defended him viciously.

Wang Honghai was not afraid of Xu Ying, and said tit-for-tat: "This incident has been going on for a long time, and I have also checked it out! Zhang Daniu did dig out a coffin that day, but he also dug out a lot of bones from that area. Those bones were the villagers of Baihe Village who were drowned by the flood!"

Thinking about the experiences of those innocent villagers and looking at the various actions of the Xu clan over the years, he couldn't help but feel a little hostile to the Xu family.

"I said why didn't I see the stone seller? It turned out that the flood that year was drowned!"

"After hearing this, after Baiheba collapsed, the Heijiucai Herbal Village was no longer sold in my store!"

"Yes! What's my neighbor's name? His daughter married into that village and has never been back to visit her for years!"

...

After the people in the hall learned from Wang Honghai that the fact that Baihe Village was flooded by the flood, they immediately started to discuss and sighed as if they knew it.

There is a Western proverb: Everyone is only six people away from the president.

Baihe Village was mentioned, which made many people pay attention to this matter, but they found that they had some subtle connections with Baihe Village.

It is precisely because they are very sure that the villagers of Baihe Village died in the dam breaking that year, and all their original fertile fields entered the Xu family.

"Wang Tongzhi, what are you doing about Baihe Village? Zhang Daniu dug out the tomb of my ancestors and even dug out the coffin and sentenced to exile according to the Ming Dynasty law!" Xu Guangnian looked at the situation in a direction that was not conducive to his Xu clan, so he questioned the authenticity.

this……

The people in the hall found that the two things seemed to be related, but there seemed to be no connection, but they couldn't help but turn their heads and look at Wang Honghai.

"Yes, this case is proof as strong as a mountain. No matter what Zhang Daniu's intentions, it is already a fact to dig the coffin of my uncle's ancestor. He should be exiled for three thousand miles!" Xu Ying knew that the matter was all because of Zhang Daniu, and seemed to echoed fiercely.

Wang Honghai was not panicked, but turned his head to look at Xu Guangnian and asked, "Xu Guangnian, since you said that the coffin belongs to your ancestors, you can tell what wealth is there in the coffin? Is the bone marrow of the coffin a man or a woman, one or two?"

"This matter has been a long time, how can I know what is inside? But I have just explained to the governor that this coffin is my ancestor's younger brother and has now been extinct!" Xu Guangnian also decided to take the coffin for a moment, so he naturally didn't know what was inside the coffin, but he still decided to go one way to the black road.

Wang Honghai glanced at Xu Guangnian contemptuously, and immediately bowed to Lin Run, who was sitting in the hall, and said, "Governor, let alone the specific situation of the coffin is inconsistent with what Xu Guangnian said, and the coffin was not buried here, but was transported from other places by floods! After the coroner's inspection, there was a large amount of river sand in the coffin, which could be proved. Therefore, Xu Guangnian took over the coffin and deliberately took revenge on Zhang Daniu!"

Ah? River sand?

Xu Guangnian couldn't help swallowing his saliva secretly, staring wide in horror.

I thought that as long as he bit the coffin to death, it would be enough for Zhang Daniu, who was against their Xu family, to be exiled. However, I didn't expect that there were so many details here, and I didn't expect that the coffin was brought here from here.

"Since the coffin came from another place, how can we still say that Zhang Daniu robbed the tomb? How could this coffin be owned by Xu Guangnian?" Hai Rui also glanced at Xu Guangnian with a pale face, and immediately questioned.

Lin Run's face was slightly sluggish when he heard Wang Honghai's comments. He thought it was a tomb robbery case with ironclad evidence, but he did not expect that this incident was full of loopholes.

Zhang Daniu had sufficient motivation for excavation this time, but now he dug out a masterless coffin that rushed from other places. How can Zhang Daniu be charged with robbing the tomb?

Lin Run glanced at Xu Ying hatefully. He really couldn't be with his pig friends. The only official voice he left might be destroyed in this case. He held the gavel and knocked on the table and said, "The evidence of Zhang Daniu's tomb robbery is insufficient. I am pardoned by Zhang Daniu and released him without permission and retired!"

When Zhang Daniu learned of the verdict, he was not excited about gaining freedom, but frowned and looked at Xu Guangnian who had accused him.

Twelve tall yamen runners holding long sticks of water and fire fell out again. Without cooperating, they shouted out a mighty voice of retreat, but turned their heads and looked at Lin Run with contempt.

This time, Lin Run no longer argued with these yamen runners, but he was wearing the coffin face and planned to return to the inner house of Songjiang Prefecture from Gongyin Gate.

"Dog official, what if Xu Guangnian falsely accused Zhang Daniu?"

"Dog official, what should the Xu family do to deal with the land in Baihe Village?"

"Everyone, things may not end there. Is it really just an accident that the Baihe Dam breaks the dam?

...

The people in the hall looked at Lin Run who was leaving in shame, but they all accused Lin Run in dissatisfaction, and some even led the problem to the old story of the Baiheba breaking.

The incident of the Baiheba dike breaking occurred strangely, and the Xu family is undoubtedly the biggest beneficiary. This is also true. Although it has been many years since then, many people speculate that someone has "destroyed the dike and flooded the fields".

If the destruction of the dike and flooding the fields was real, then it was not only flooding the fields, but also drowned all Baihe villagers who moved to the lower reaches of the dam for survival.

When Xu Guangnian saw Lin Run leave, he was relieved. He turned his head and looked at Xu Ying, and found that the Songjiang Prefecture is no longer the Songjiang Prefecture of the Tibetan Period of the Fang period, and he really can't commit perjury.

"Take it!" Hai Rui looked at Xu Guangnian who was about to turn around and leave, but suddenly issued an order.

Xu Guangnian found that he was captured by two yamen servants, and immediately asked angrily: "Hai Gangfeng, what are you doing?"

"Why do you want to say that the person in the coffin is your ancestor? Was this matter being instructed by someone or was he accused of Zhang Daniu because of personal grudges?" Hai Rui did not intend to let Xu Guangnian go, and questioned him very bluntly.

Facing these two choices of guilt, Xu Guangnian couldn't help but swallow, and turned his head to look at Xu Ying with a help-seeking look.

Xu Ying's face was as deep as water, but she didn't expect Hai Rui to be so ignorant of official rules. This move was already slapping Lin Run in the face.

"Since I can't say it, then stay in prison first!" Hai Rui noticed Xu Guangnian's eyes, and waved his hand and issued an order.

Seeing that he was going to be imprisoned, Xu Guangnian thought of the gloomy aura in the prison, and looked panicked and asked Xu Ying for help, "Xu Ying, save me!"

"Master Hai, don't you really want to sell my Xu family to a little affection?" Xu Ying knew that Xu Guangnian might be about to shake him out, so she threatened Hai Rui immediately.

Hai Rui snorted coldly, and said with a firm attitude: "National law is greater than the sky, I, Haigangfeng, will not sell anyone's affection!"

"Then let's wait and see!" Xu Ying was so angry that she gritted her teeth, but knew that she could not beat Hai Rui at all, so she left angrily.

Hai Rui looked at Xu Ying who was leaving while pretending to leave, and said lightly: "If you have a statement on your family's occupation of the fields in Baihe Village, please give us an explanation, otherwise we should not blame the court for submitting the report!"

When things came to this point, he didn't plan to give up.

Regardless of the fact that Xu Jie occupied the land of the villagers of Baihe Village, but now that Baihe Dam has broken and Baihe Village has been flooded, this matter must be investigated clearly.

"Hai Gangfeng, don't fall on my hands later!" Xu Ying knew that Hai Rui was the one who did what he said, so she gritted her teeth and said harsh words to Hai Rui.

I thought I could pull out a thorn in my flesh, but I didn't expect that the incident involved the Xu family's invasion of the land and the Baiheba dike, which made them fall into it.

When things came to this point, he knew that he was no longer able to solve this problem, so he could only go back and ask his father to take action and deal with these two people who were ignorant of the world. (To be continued)
