Su Jin watched with cold eyes, knowing that Zhu Shiyong was looking for a scapegoat to cover up the dirty work, but there was nothing he could do about it.
At present, it can only be proved that this suicide note is a forgery. As for who forged it and why Su Jin was blamed, there are speculations on these issues, but there is no real evidence. On the surface, it seems that Zuo was the only person who came into contact with the corpse, so it is common sense.
Generally speaking, he is also the most suspect; Zhu Shiyong seized this point and pushed out the crime, which made Su Jin, Bao Zheng and others unable to interfere. The human shape, let alone being beaten into a move, at this moment, even if he wanted to confess, he could not speak.
"Take him to jail to await his verdict, and the case will be retried on a later date. In addition, because there are many doubts about Qin Dalang's suicide note, we announced that we would withdraw the charges against Su Jin of Luzhou Prefecture and release him in court. Because I was deceived by a villain, I almost wrongfully accused Su
I feel deeply sorry for you, a small official, and I will reward you with twenty guan of money as a consolation."
Su Jin was extremely impressed by his skill. He could take it up and let it go. He would shamelessly seek false accusations when he advanced, and he would not hesitate to sacrifice his soldiers to save his chariot when retreating. He put down his face and confessed his fault. In an instant, he changed from the cowardly and arrogant way he had tried to accuse Su Jin.
His attitude changed into a high attitude of knowing his mistakes, being able to correct them, and being open-minded, like a dragon, quickly covering up his exposed weaknesses.
Awesome! Su Jin secretly admired that this guy is worthy of being a veteran in officialdom. When facing Lei, he always feels like he can't be beaten to death.
"Who wants your money? Twenty guan is not enough for my young master to have a meal." When Xiao Sui'er saw the prefect announcing Su Jin's innocence, the anger she had been holding back in her heart could no longer be suppressed and burst out.
"The government can arrest a person casually and frame him for a crime, and then just talk about it afterwards and pay him twenty dollars to get it done? What a beautiful idea!" Xiao Sui'er is straightforward, who cares?
The magistrate's words are as crisp as beans poured from a bamboo tube.
Zhu Shiyong, a good man, worked hard to the end and said with a pleasant face: "Then how should I compensate this little lady? I have a lot of talent, so it's not difficult for me to come up with ten or twenty guan.
If it goes through hundreds of times, I will have no choice but to be like this."
Zhu Shiyong claimed that he had a breeze with his sleeves, so the people didn't know what he was doing. People around him in the Chamber of Commerce and Yamen were disgusting to death. Tang Jiyuan, the president of the Chamber of Commerce, rolled his eyes and cursed in his heart: "You are so shameless. If you have a breeze with your sleeves, the world will be ruined."
There will be no more corrupt officials. Every year, the Chamber of Commerce will pay tens of thousands of filial piety, but are they all being fed to the dogs?"
But he said: "Yes, yes, little lady, why should I worry about this matter? How can a person be faultless without being a sage? The prefect has already admitted his omissions. Moreover, this omission was caused by the man who deliberately concealed it. Speaking of which, so did the prefect.
unintended mistake."
Everyone echoed, and Su Jin smiled and said nothing. Originally, his maid had no right to speak because of his presence, but if the master didn't say anything, others would assume that she was the spokesperson, and there was no way to criticize her.
"What you said is easy. Could it be that my young master has suffered all this injustice in vain? If Mr. Bao hadn't noticed everything clearly, he might have been beaten into a pig's head today like that gangster." Xiao Sui'er rolled her eyes at Tang.
Ji Yuan shouted.
Tang Jiyuan pointed at her and said, "You... are so sharp-tongued, how elegant are you?"
Xiao Sui'er snorted and said, "Let the magistrate arrest you tomorrow and charge you with murder. Then slap you twenty times in the face to see if you still say sarcastic things."
The common people laughed loudly, and some who were watching the excitement and did not mind the matter said weirdly: "That's right, that's right. If we find a dead body tomorrow and put a suicide note on it, we will wrongly accuse this great master of the Tang Dynasty."
"I'm afraid that won't work. Mr. Bao has already said that suicide notes cannot withstand being soaked. They will rot as soon as they are soaked."
"Idiot, do you really want to find someone who committed suicide by drowning in a river? As long as he didn't commit suicide by drowning in the river, or rotted into scum, the suicide note will be well preserved."
"Well... what this brother said makes sense. If he harms others, I'm afraid there will be no flaws at all."
"Fuck you, I am the most jealous person in the world, why would you want to harm others? Take back what you said, otherwise I will make your face bloom."
"Okay, okay, I admit defeat... just pretend I didn't say that."
"..."
Everyone was laughing and laughing, and their words were quite disrespectful to the magistrate and the Chamber of Commerce. Zhu Shiyong understood that it was impossible to regain his official authority today, so he coughed and said: "Su Xiaoguan, please say something, I
The official only tried the case based on the evidence, and had no intention of wronging the junior official. As for the failure to inspect the evidence, it was the official's responsibility, but it would not be necessary for a young lady to come in to criticize the official? Today's matter will be left to me.
After thorough investigation, and when the mastermind behind the scenes is found, Su Xiaoguan will be given an explanation, but for now, I will give this officer a hard time and let's end it like this."
Of course, Su Jin knew that enough was enough. If he really wanted to make everyone unable to get off the stage, the prefect would be cruel and just ignore him, which would not be beautiful. Thinking of this, he raised his head and glanced at Bao Zheng who was standing aside. Bao Zheng's face was expressionless.
His expression was frowning, and he just nodded slightly.
Su Jin understood, clasped his fists at Zhu Shiyong and said: "What your Excellency said is reasonable, let's stop this matter. Your Excellency's official duties are complicated, and omissions are inevitable."
"Su Xiaoguan has a deep understanding of righteousness, and he has such a big heart at such a young age. It's really admirable. His future is limitless." Zhu Shiyong presented the top hat with a smile.
Su Jin ordered Xiao Sui'er to accept the twenty-dollar consolation money. Although Xiao Sui'er was reluctant, she pouted helplessly, went up and snatched the tray containing the money from the teacher's hand, and put the money into the teacher's hand.
He staggered and almost fell to death.
"The common people have one more request," Su Jin said.
Zhu Shiyong thought to himself: "I knew it wasn't that cheap." With a smile on his face, he said: "Su Xiaoguan, please tell me."
"Although the common people understand the difficulties of your Majesty, please understand the difficulties of the common people. With such a commotion, some people in Luzhou must have a bad impression of me, Su Ji. Su Ji's reputation has been damaged. The ordinary people would like to ask you to make a public announcement and make the matter public.
The whole story should be made public to the four cities in the name of Zhengsu Ji. Isn’t this too much to ask for?”
Zhu Shiyong looked embarrassed, but he hesitated for a moment and said cheerfully: "It should be like this. It's not too much, not too much at all. I'll do it as you say, Master."
The master bowed and agreed, and Zhu Shiyong bowed and said: "Brother Xiren, Su Xiaoguan, colleagues, the court trial has come to an end today. I am busy with official duties and cannot leave you to drink and have fun. I will leave it for another day, and then retire.
Don!" After saying that, he turned around and strode away from the side door. The smile on his face turned into a cruel look from the moment he stepped into the side door, as if he suddenly fell from the scorching summer sun into the bitter cold.
Like an ice cave.
Bao Zheng was not as happy as the people of the Su family and the common people. He bowed with a serious face and bowed deeply to the plaque "The Mirror Hangs High" in the hall. Only then was he surrounded by the people of the Su family, Li Chongyan, Biyun and others.
Step out of the lobby.
The faces of the people in the Chamber of Commerce were depressed, and they could not express their depression in their hearts, but they knew that there was still another hurdle to pass at this moment, and that was the hurdle of the prefect. This matter was done like this, and Zhu Shiyong was embarrassed in front of hundreds of people.
It goes without saying that this matter will be spread throughout the city in a few days. How can the magistrate, who has always been so powerful and full of confidence, swallow such a sigh of relief?
Several people looked at each other in silence. Tang Jiyuan took the lead, entered through the side door, and chased after the prefect's back.
After leaving the yamen, he saw that it was almost noon, and the scorching sun was making the air steam everywhere. Su Jin insisted on expressing his gratitude and invited Bao Zheng, Li Chong and others to have dinner at "Hefeng Tower". Bao Zheng refused at first and said
Su Jin said: "I am not doing this for you. If anyone is wronged, Bao will come forward."
Su Jin cupped his hands and said: "I understand your thoughts very well. You want to live up to the emperor's favor and live up to the common people. I didn't pay for this meal myself. The businessman's profits come from the people, even if it's me."
How about I treat you to this meal for the common people?"
Everyone admired Su Jin's good eloquence. Bao Zheng thought about it and found that there was nothing wrong with him. In addition, Yan Biyun was here and he should have greeted him. After all, Yan Shu was his recommender for his promotion to the prefect of Duanzhou this time.
So I agreed.
Su Jin cheered, his excitement was palpable; everyone thought he was happy to be freed from his cage. Several shopkeepers thought a bit wrong. They even thought that Su Jin wanted to make friends with Mr. Bao and find a backstage for himself, but Mr. Bao was far away.
Knowing Duanzhou, the Su family's business is all in Luzhou, so I'm afraid that the young master's family's happiness will be in vain.
However, the fact that the young master's family was safe this time was all due to Mr. Bao's overturning of key evidence. Everyone had heard about Mr. Bao for a long time, and they were naturally happy to have a meal together.
Bao Zheng rarely smiled. He could see that Su Jin truly admired him. Although he had seen this kind of look many times, he didn't feel anything special, but he always felt happier when he had more admirers.
Little did they know that the happiness in Su Jin's heart was not because of being able to secure a high-ranking official as a backer, nor because Bao Zheng resolutely rescued him this time, but because he could travel through thousands of years and sit at the same table with his childhood idol Bao Qingtian.
Drink, this is such an exciting thing; Su Jin kept saying in his heart: "This is alive! It can move! It can talk! It can be seen and touched!"
Even if Su Jin is willing, he can immediately rush towards her and give her a bear hug without worrying that it's just an act. This is a genuine product that is guaranteed to be fake!
Su Jin was in high spirits, but Yan Biyun couldn't laugh or cry. This guy was so complacent that he completely ignored the soreness and stench all over his body. His clothes were torn and one sleeve was missing. He was wandering around the street with half his arms as if wearing a cassock. It was simply unseemly; where was this?
The young master of the Su family is simply an idle man wandering the streets.
"Tell your young master to go back and take a bath and change his clothes. What will he look like?" Yan Biyun said in Xiao Sui'er's ear.
Xiao Sui'er was stunned for a moment, then looked at Su Jin's appearance, and couldn't help but hide her mouth and smile; Su Jin looked at himself blankly, couldn't help but blush, and his clothes were disheveled, and he was still brainwashing the Luzhou elders, what to say
"In terms of food, clothing, housing, and transportation, clothing comes first." Isn't this just a slap in the face?
Su Jin quickly apologized to Bao Zheng, Li Chong, Yan Biyun and others. Being disheveled was an offense to others, especially if a woman was present. Bao Zheng was a man who paid attention to etiquette. Knowing that Su Jin had just come out from prison, he had not been there before.
I blame him, but now that I see him being so polite, I feel more favorable towards him.
"Stop laughing, silly girl, you didn't warn me earlier." Su Jin pretended to be angry.
"I'm sorry, Young Master, I just found out after someone reminded me that Young Master...hehe...Young Master's outfit might even become a trend on the streets of Luzhou." Xiao Sui'er laughed so hard that her whole body trembled, and she actually learned how to use Su.
Jin used the same vocabulary to tease him.
What can you do with such a maid on the stall? Su Jin rolled her eyes helplessly, apologized, got into the mule cart and went home to take a bath.
Yan Biyun pushed Xiao Sui'er, who was giggling to herself, and said, "Why don't you go quickly? Take incense and smoke it inside and out. Boil a pot of hot water with dry mugwort to remove bad luck. In addition, you don't need those clothes either. Don't worry.
Burn it, just find a place to bury it under a flowering tree."
Xiao Sui'er covered her mouth and looked at her strangely, thinking: "This Yan Dong family is really attentive, and they are not generally nice to the young master." dd
