Peerless Pirates

Hearing that Qian Youcai was still complaining, Zhou Wenzong became even more angry. He threw the jade pendant to the ground again and said angrily, "If you didn't do it, then why did this jade pendant appear next to the wall? If Xiaolian really took it,

There is absolutely no reason to discard the jade pendant by the wall. You clearly ordered Zheng Feng to cross the wall, poison Song Shi's medicine, and dropped the jade pendant under the wall in a panic. Is that right? You again

Instigated others to put arsenic into the water tank of Doctor Gao's house, poisoning Doctor Gao and Xiaolian who had just returned from collecting medicine, right? Don't even think about denying it. You and Erzi Qian are on these two talismans.

Liangren's handwriting, unused arsenic was also found in your home. The evidence is conclusive and irrefutable. Is it true or not? You instigated Xiaolian to poison, and you also used the name of a fortune teller to commit fraud in an attempt to cover up

Is it a crime, yes or no? You were running rampant in the countryside, and I was not aware of it for a while, so I allowed you to do whatever you wanted. Now it has become even worse, and you even used evil spirits to harm others, is it?"

Zhou Wenzong asked "yes and no" five times in a row, leaving Qian Youcai and his family speechless, because Qian Youcai had indeed harmed the Song family, and now the two talismans had the handwritings of Qian Youcai and Qian Liangren.

In addition, arsenic was found in the house, the so-called Taoist priest disappeared without a trace, and Zheng Feng's jade pendant fell on the wall again, which really left people speechless. Many villagers who had been bullied by the Qian family had circumstantial evidence, and Qian Youcai suddenly had nothing to lose.

Escape. It can only be said that this plan to move the disaster eastward was so perfect that Qian Youcai had no chance of even being tried.

In fact, both Zhou Wenzong and Song Zheng knew that if money was really used to poison, it would be impossible to leave any evidence. What Zhou Wenzong thought of was to make the case a solid case and close it quickly in order to win over "Zhou Qingtian"

reputation. And what Song Zheng thought of was that this plan was interconnected and seamless. Such an opponent was really too powerful.

At midnight, Zhou Wenzong finished examining the case, and immediately began to sort out the case file with the county government officials, which was half a foot thick. The next day, he asked the villagers who had been bullied by the Qian family to put their fingerprints, and Song Jue represented the Song family.

They signed. As for Qian Youcai and Zheng Feng, they also pressed their fingerprints under the coercion of more than a dozen government officials, and this became an ironclad case.

Magistrate Zhou handled the case on the spot and pronounced the verdict on the spot: Since it was an attempt to murder the family members of an official appointed by the imperial court (Song Jue had already received a letter of appointment and was considered an official), the suspected crime was increased to one level. Qian Youcai, Qian Liangren and Zheng Feng will be arrested and imprisoned, and will be reported to the state.

After approval, Qiu Hou asked and beheaded. Qian Youcai's eldest son, his family, and female dependents were sent to Yunnan to guard the border. The Qian family's slaves Qiu Ju and Qiulan were sentenced to be slaves to the Song family. As for the Qian family's property, except for that

Two villagers who sued Qian Youcai in court, redeemed their land, and everything else belonged to the Song family. This made many Songjiazhuang villagers who had been bullied by Qian Youcai regret not having the courage to sue Qian in court.

In addition, Dr. Gao needs to be buried by the Song family, while Xiao Lian will be hastily buried to reveal his evil deeds. As for Qi'er, Magistrate Zhou, who is eager to finalize the case, has no time to pay attention to it, but selectively ignores it.

On the evening of August 23, the government officials escorted the Qian family and others back to Ju County.

The reason for such a verdict is also related to Song Zheng's efforts. During the trial of the case by the Zhou County Magistrate, Song Jue took care of all the food and clothing expenses for the officials after Song Zheng's guidance. In addition, Song Zheng discussed with Wu and also

Some people gave some hard-earned money, twenty taels of silver to the county magistrate of Zhou, five taels each to the county captain and chief bookkeeper, and one tael to each of the government servants. This almost wiped out half of the Song family's wealth. Of course, these were all hidden.

Song Jue did it. After some refusals, County Magistrate Zhou and others had to accept it with a smile. In the end, Song Zheng also asked the long-term workers Song Xiaosi and Erhei to rush to Shishan Town overnight, pay a tael of silver, and make a plaque.

He wrote "Da Qi Bao Gong" and sent it to Magistrate Zhou. Naturally Magistrate Zhou refused, so Song Zheng had people beat gongs and drums and send him to the Ju County magistrate alone.

Originally, Young Master Song wanted to have a group of people carry an open wooden box while Magistrate Zhou was examining the case, fill it with clay, flatten it, and then let Magistrate Zhou step on it, leaving a footprint.

It means to let the upright officials "keep their feet", and finally seal the footprints of Magistrate Zhou in the Song Ancestral Hall for generations of people in Songjiazhuang to pay homage to. This approach is naturally imitated by later generations of Oscars, where award-winning stars all leave their footprints.

, fingerprints and the like. Unfortunately, Song Jue thought this was too disgusting and firmly disagreed. Song Zheng had no choice. He also had an idea of ​​sending "Umbrellas to all peoples". He expected that Song Jue would not agree, so he didn't.

Proposed.

According to Young Master Song's idea, as long as he flatters Magistrate Zhou, firstly, Qian Youcai and others will definitely get a heavy sentence, and secondly, the Song family can get most of the property of the Qian Youcai family. Although the danger to the Song family is still

It has not been completely eliminated, but it can make a little bit of money. The sage said, "The bold ones will be starved to death, and the timid ones will be starved to death." He also said, "It would be a fool not to take advantage of the advantages." Although there were no footprints left, I didn't give them away.

Wan Min Umbrella, things turned out as Song Zheng expected, and County Magistrate Zhou's decision was extremely beneficial to the Song family.

When the sentence was announced, Qian Youcai, who was sick, died on the spot, scared to death. Zhou Wenzong ordered him to be thrown into Maling Lake to feed the fish. As for the rest of the Qian family, including Qian Manqian, they were all escorted

Returning to the county jail, he will soon be taken to a border guarding place. Originally, Qian Youcai wanted to bear all the charges before his death, but County Magistrate Zhou still sentenced Qian Liangren to death. This was because Qian Liangren actually committed suicide in court.

He had a friendship with County Magistrate Zhou and wanted to tell him about the money he had given. Naturally, "Zhou Qingtian" was extremely angry and asked the yamen to beat Qian Liangren's mouth to pieces, leaving him speechless. When the sentence was announced, because

There was Qian Liangren's handwriting on the talisman, so he was accused of poisoning Doctor Gao and took the opportunity to sentence him to death.

Of course, County Magistrate Zhou was quite merciful. When a classmate with a cupboard full of money was rotting in his lower body, Magistrate Zhou asked a government servant who had been an executioner to cut him off with a big blade, so that his life would not be saved if the cupboard was full of money. However, Zhou Wenzong and

Song Zheng never thought that this money in the cupboard would cause them great trouble in a few years.

After sending Magistrate Zhou off in style, the next step was to hold funerals for the old man and Doctor Gao. These things were all arranged by Wu and others. Song Zheng didn't understand the rules of this kind of thing, so he had nothing to do except accompany the mourners.

Do. Although Qian Youcai's family was uprooted, Song Zheng knew that the real culprit was someone else, and the inside story still needed to be revealed together. In addition, with the skills of those people, poisoning everyone in the Song residence was also

It is not difficult. Why they only poisoned Mr. Song and spared the rest of the Song family is also a question. The only certainty is that Mr. Song must have died due to the involvement of Old Man Gao. Only by asking clearly can we avenge the old man. So

, Young Master Song went up to the Western Mountain with full of grief and indignation, and went straight to Qi'er's hiding place.

This time, Song Zheng did not hide anything. Since those people only added poison to the old man's medicine, and they used arsenic, a poison that was extremely vulgar, firstly, they wanted to conveniently blame money and wealth.

Second, he might not have any intention to harm other members of the Song family. In this way, both the Song family and Qi'er were safe for the time being. So, Song Zheng came to the cave and shouted loudly, "Qi'er, come out."

Song Zheng was busy participating in the trial these two days and did not go up the mountain. Qi'er stayed alone in the cave for two days, terrified. When she was on the run, there were several more dangerous situations than now, but at that time there were high

She was accompanied by the old man, but now she was alone. Only she could understand the miserable feeling. So, upon hearing Song Zheng's voice, Qi'er pushed down all the stones at the entrance of the cave and jumped out crawling on the ground.

Song Zheng rushed forward and raised his hand to slap Qi'er. However, when he saw Qi'er's appearance, he couldn't do it. Qi'er was not only haggard and abnormal, but her eyes were red and swollen, and her hair and clothes were messy. She was clearly a child.

A beggar. Qi'er was very surprised when she saw Song Zheng, but when she saw Song Zheng's angry face, she couldn't help but be stunned.

Although Song Zheng's slap didn't last, he didn't want to give Qi'er a good look. He shouted sternly: "Who are you and Old Man Gao? What enemies have you provoked? Just die, why do you involve my grandfather in it?"

?”

Qi'er didn't know why and stared blankly at Song Zheng. Song Zheng said angrily: "Old Man Gao's plan was successful. He and Xiaolian were both poisoned to death. Those people added arsenic to the medicine my grandfather drank in the middle of the night.

, and poisoned the old man to death." Then, he recounted what happened in the past two days.

When Qi'er heard that Old Man Gao was dead, she just choked with sobs. No more tears could flow from her dry eyes. Seeing her like this, Song Zheng was even more embarrassed to do anything, but he still said with a cold face: "Don't

I'm crying, everyone is dead, you should tell me what's going on now, right? Don't fool me with old man Goriot's bad stories, I don't believe it either, just tell the truth!"

Qi'er said in a hoarse voice: "It's not that I don't want to tell you, but I really can't. It won't be good for you if you know."

At this time, Qi'er still wanted to hide it. Song Zheng couldn't help it anymore. He raised his hand and slapped Qi'er on the face with a snap, shouting: "****, don't do it.

I said these nonsense, people have been killed by you, why are you pretending? If you don't tell me, who will I ask for revenge? Let me tell you, even if the other party is the king of heaven, I will poke a hole in the sky.

"

Qi'er was slapped and was immediately stunned. She never expected that the always gentle young master Song could be so tough. He would get angry at the slightest disagreement and even use foul language. He didn't look like a scholar at all, and he was clearly a little bully.

Seeing that she was dazed, Song Zheng became even more anxious and shouted: "Speak quickly!" He pretended to fight again. Qi'er suddenly sat on the ground and burst into tears. Song Zheng knew that her psychological defense line had been destroyed, so he stopped getting angry.

Instead, he sat on the ground with her. Song Zheng was not in the mood to comfort her, so he patted her shoulder and said, "Tell me, don't hide anything." (Please collect it)
