I'm playing tricks in Daqin

In less than an hour, Zhang Zehua, who was looking for new prey while drinking tea on the street, was caught.

It is easy to arrest people, but it is difficult to calm down the troubles. On the surface, Zhang Zehua is an idler in society, but he is actually a lay disciple of Huanfan, the great disciple of Guiyuan Daoist Tianshi Xianzun. Immediately, Immortal Huanfan led a team to rescue his beloved disciple.

Looking at Zhang Zehua who was forced to kneel on the ground, Zheng Xunze looked at Li Wei with a troubled expression.

The magistrate of the dignified county did not care about a small fraud case, but the case is not small and involves a lot of things. The plaintiff is Wen Yanghou, who represents the nobles of the former Tang Dynasty, and the defendant is a disciple of Guiyuan Dao.

The arrester was still the son of Daqin's clan, and the son of the chief assistant was also accompanying the trial, which made Zheng Xiangze extremely overwhelmed. As a person who wanted to maintain the stability of a county, he never thought that he would meet with him when he was not Jing Zhaoyin. to such a difficult case.

"Ahem, this case..."

"My lord, Pindao has something to say."

Zheng Xiangze was upset when someone interrupted his speech, but seeing that the person who came was Huan Fan, he could only suppress his anger, and said with a smile: "Today is a trial, I don't know why the real person is here."

"My lord doesn't know that Zhang Zehua is a bad guy. Even though he is a layman's disciple, the poor Taoist also has the responsibility of enlightenment. If something happens, he must be held accountable. The bad guy is born with a wooden nature and is not good at speech. The poor Taoist can only sue on his behalf. "

Glancing at the people outside the lobby, Zheng Xiangze could only nod in agreement.

"Why arrest people?"

"He cheated, so naturally he will arrest people."

"Cheating? Hehe, that poor Taoist wants to hear how bad guys cheat people."

"Ma Minjun, tell me."

Nodding his head, Ma Minjun began to meet Zhang Zehua in the restaurant, how he listened to Zhang Zehua's persuasion to place a bet, how he won money, how he got other ex-Tang Yiguis to join, and how he lost all his bets at once.

"The villain learned some deduction spells from me, but he came out to show off because he was not good at learning skills, so that he harmed others and himself. It is indeed at fault. Zhang Zehua, do you dare to show off in the future?"

"Master, this disciple knows he was wrong, and he will never dare again in the future."

"This matter started because of you, and your master can't ignore the poor way. He offered 300 taels as compensation. My lord, can you close the case like this?"

"Okay, just as I want, just..."

"The fraud case made you speak so freshly and refinedly, and you also posted a fortune-telling advertisement by the way. You are too economical. It's just that the advertising fee of 300 taels is a little less?"

Being interrupted one after another, Zheng Xiangze felt upset, and said coldly: "Ma Minjun, tell me, how did you get cheated?"

"Me? I don't know."

With a "bang", he slapped the gavel heavily, and Zheng Xiangze said angrily, "You don't even know how you were cheated, and you still want to sue? Can't you play tricks on the government?"

Zhang Zehua, who was secretly kicked by Master Huanfan, said loudly: "That's right, when I told the fortune, I told Ma Minjun clearly. It can't be accurate every time, and there is a risk. I will confiscate her." Money, just to see her life is difficult, kindness to help others and love to help wrong? Is there any reason? "

Immortal Huan Fan also echoed, "They are betting on the Chang'an polo match. They start betting before the game starts, and then judge the winner or loser based on the game report in the "Empire Briefing" that was mailed that day. You can't say it, you scoundrel. Did you buy Chang'an's polo team to fake it?"

As soon as the words fell, the audience immediately discussed, even Tian Baoping looked at Li Wei full of doubts. No matter how you look at this matter, it is all Zhang Zehua, who is not good at learning, showing off casually, but Ma Minjun is so stupid that he really believes it. Your Majesty What's the matter?Could it be that he fell in love with Ma Minjun and indiscriminately, Zhang Zehua should be allowed to take the blame, right?Even if you want to do this, you have to do it secretly. How can you directly frame him in full view?Even the victim Ma Minjun was uncertain, and whispered, "I, I also think that Zhang Zehua didn't lie to me, let's forget this case."

There were many minions of Guiyuan Dao in the crowd, and they kept booing at this time. The crowd kept scolding Li Wei for being nosy, and Wu Zhendong, who was watching the excitement, also had a sneer on his face.

He is the son of King Zhongyi of the Tang Dynasty. Among the benefactors of the former Tang Dynasty, he has always enjoyed the treatment of the stars, but today he was slapped in the face by Li Wei. He was still in front of other benefactors of the former Tang Dynasty. Now everyone condemns Li Wei with one word. He let out a bad breath.

Just when Wu Zhendong was full of complacency, the back of his head suddenly hurt. He turned his head and looked for a long time but couldn't see who did it, so he could only curse and continue to watch the fun. After Dui spat on the ground, he continued digging.

"So Zhang Zehua is not at fault at all, it's all because of me making trouble for no reason and arresting people at will?"

"I know that you are a son of the clan and a great person, but this is not Chang'an, not a place where you can do whatever you want! Open the banner!"

As soon as the words fell, someone outside immediately took out the Great Qin Army Flag.

Huanfan Daoist threatened: "Release Zhang Zehua immediately, admit your fault, apologize to him, and get out of Jinghuai County, otherwise I will hold a big banner and go to Beijing to sue the imperial court!"

Unexpectedly, things would get worse and worse, Zheng Xiangze covered his forehead with his hands, and said helplessly: "Master Tian, ​​I'd better persuade Detective Li to hurry up, the fraud case is non-existent, and there is no need for him, a Detective from Dali Temple, to take care of it. Easy to explain."

Li Wei is not some clan son at all, but the current emperor. Others don't know it, but Tian Baoping knows it in his heart.

Now that the emperor said there was a fraud case, it could only be a fraud case. How could he dare to contradict the emperor in public? "Here, here, you should have a trial."

"Master Tian! Mr. Tian! How to deal with the Panbite case? Do you want civil unrest in Jinghuai County? Your father doesn't want to see such a situation, right?"

"Don't say too much, let you interrogate!"

Seeing Tian Baoping's "bad" attitude, Zheng Xiangze, who was already annoyed in his heart, said coldly: "There is no fraud, and this case cannot be handled by the judge!"

"If you don't want to interrogate, then I will come."

Hearing Li Wei's words, Master Huanfan nodded and said, "Okay, but don't blame Pindao for not reminding you, after the trial is over, we have to bring the military flag to file an imperial appeal! This is the emperor's will today, just for Beware of your so-called dignitaries wantonly persecuting the common people!"

At the beginning of the eradication of the former Tang Dynasty, in order to appease the people, Li Wei gave many military flags and gave the people of the former Tang Dynasty the right to hold the flags to appeal. Originally, this was just a stopgap measure. unknown.

I didn't expect it to be in the hands of Gui Yuandao, let alone be taken out by Daoist Huanfan to deal with Li Wei today.

"Cheating other people's money is still so rampant, is this what you Guiyuandao do?"

"Don't talk nonsense! I, Guiyuandao, devote myself to educating the common people. Everyone loves and helps each other, so that the cultivators can have their fields..."

"Okay, you're full of benevolence and morality, but you're full of thieves and prostitutes. Let the people below help each other and help each other. They're getting poorer, but you're getting richer."

Li Wei had already slapped Gui Yuandao in the face when he dismantled the water ghost scam in the fishing village. Now Li Wei opened his mouth to deceive and kept his mouth to cheat. He seemed to be trying Zhang Zehua's case, but in fact he stabbed Gui Yuandao with a knife.

Chapter 662 Exposing the Scam

"You said it was a fraud, okay, let me hear you explain it. If Zhang Zehua really cheated, only the king will punish him. But if it is a false accusation, you dare to admit that you framed others as a clan son and kowtow to Zhang Zehua apologize?"

"No!"

Before Li Wei could speak, Tian Baoping was the first to stop him.

As a son of the clan, he represents the royal family, and he loses the face of the royal family. It is impossible to admit his mistakes, let alone kneel. Can you guarantee that no one will ever know about this?

If it spread, not only Li Wei, but the entire imperial court would become the number one joke in the world. At this time, Tian Baoping didn't care about Li Wei's identity, and wanted to stop him from continuing to mess around.

"I have evidence."

"It's a big deal."

"I said, I have evidence!"

Seeing that Li Wei was really angry, Tian Baoping could only sit back obediently when he thought of the reform of the currency system.

For Li Wei who caused trouble for him, Zheng Xiangze didn't have the slightest affection, and said with a smile: "In that case, let's talk about it."

"You asked me to say it, so I'll say it? Why do I listen to you so much? Master Huanfan, if I wronged Zhang Zehua, I'll kneel down and admit my mistake, but what if I didn't wrong him?"

"Then let him kneel down for you."

"Hehe, I am the clan, what is he, the bet is not equal."

"What do you want?"

"Simple, if you can prove that Zhang Zehua is indeed cheating, you, Gui Yuandao, have to admit that your disciple cheated."

Zhang Zehua's deception was so clever that even Daoist Huanfan secretly admired his disciple's intelligence. He didn't believe that Li Wei could see through it, so he nodded in agreement.

"Ma Minjun, you don't even know how Zhang Zehua lied to you?"

Li Wei turned his head and asked.

"Yes, he, he doesn't seem to have lied to me, the calculation was quite accurate before, and it is inevitable that he made a mistake."

"Forget it? Haha, do you really think he did it? It's just a lie."

Zhang Zehua sneered and said, "Did you? Then my luck must be very good."

"It's not that you are lucky, but that Ma Minjun's luck is too bad. Your scam is simple to say. You are betting that one of the two polo teams in Chang'an will win, and the winning and losing will be divided equally. You are nothing more than finding 100 people first and telling 50 Person A wins, tell the other 50 people that Team B wins.

When the newspaper in Chang’an arrives, 50 people will surely win. In the next game, you tell 25 of them that team A will win, and tell the other 25 people that team B will win. It’s still half the record. The half of the losers will naturally ignore it and win The half of the people continued to be divided into two halves, still the same routine, half betting on team A and half betting on team B.

Repeat this six times, and in the end there are only one or two people left, but they have already won six times in a row, so they will naturally regard your words as a decree, and they will use all their wealth to bet on which team you want to bet on. "

Ma Minjun hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, I just won four times in a row, and I thought there would be no problem, so I asked other people to bet together."

Zhang Zehua sneered and said, "Even if I used this method, I didn't get a penny from others. You said I cheated money, did I cheat a penny?"

Zheng Xiangze, who just felt that what Li Wei said was reasonable, couldn't help but nodded, "That's right, Zhang Zehua didn't cheat money."

"It's just that he didn't lie to the so-called divination funds, and he didn't like the small money. What he wanted was the bet."

Tian Baoping was also a thoughtful person, and immediately said: "I understand, it was actually Zhang Zehua who opened the door, and all the lost money went into Zhang Zehua's pocket."

"It's a joke, even if it's as you said, there are odds. I took half of the bet, but I have to pay more money to the winner. After all, I am losing money. Am I cheating or doing charity?"

"Yes, there is a loophole in your statement."

Zheng Xiangze agreed.

"Ma Minjun, you won four times before, did you bet all your money on the fifth time?"

"That's right, all the money from the mansion has been taken out, returned, behind my father's back, and secretly pawned a lot of things."

"Understand."

Hearing Li Wei's words, Zheng Xiangze asked with a puzzled face, "Understand what?"

"Idiot, everyone is greedy. Zhang Zehua takes advantage of human greed. He bets and wins money one after another. He unconditionally trusts Zhang Zehua's so-called inside information. As long as he is an individual, his first reaction is to spend all his capital according to Zhang Zehua's so-called internal information. The message continues to bet.

He would even go bankrupt, borrow money from everywhere, pool the largest money to bet, and let others win money. The money Zhang Zehua gave is nothing more than bait, and it will flow back to Zhang Zehua after walking around in the hands of the deceived. "

After listening to Li Wei's detailed explanation, there was a sudden gasp of enlightenment in the audience.

Zhang Zehua didn't expect Li Wei to see his tricks so clearly, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and he regained his energy after being kicked by Master Huanfan.

"You're talking nonsense! I didn't lie at all. Since I'm a son of the clan, you can say whatever you want! Well, I'm going to die today to prove my innocence!"

After speaking, Zhang Zehua rushed towards the wooden pillar.

However, he did not take any action after shouting, and was stopped by the yamen servant without even touching the pillar.

Daoist Huanfan sighed and said: "In front of the powerful, there is no reason to speak. You can kill if you want. You don't need to waste so much talk, isn't it just planting? We admit the crime. How much money does the lord want? Just tell me the amount." Bar."

After saying a few words, Li Wei's intention to solve the case was immediately distorted, and shouts and curses appeared in the crowd.

"Want evidence? Alright, Li Renhe, bring all the witnesses here."

After pushing away the crowd of onlookers, a dozen witnesses rushed forward like crazy as soon as they entered the lobby. Zhang Zehua was kicked to the ground before he could react.

"Stop! How can we fight in the courtroom? Come and pull them away!"

The governor of the county had an order, so the yamen servants naturally did not dare to disobey, but Li Renhe had already led his guards to stop the crowd outside. The yamen servants knew that they were from Chang'an, so they didn't dare to be violent, and they couldn't push and push them, so they could only watch helplessly. Zhang Zehua was beaten.

When Zhang Zehua was beaten up and had no strength to shout, Li Wei stopped him and said, "Okay, I've asked you to come here to testify, not to take revenge. Only the king can deal with Zhang Zehua's affairs."

"Master Li, what is your purpose in letting these troublemakers come here?"

"Troublemakers? Lord Magistrate, they are all the people under your rule. Isn't Jinghuai County Wufu Minfeng under your governance? How come there are troublemakers?"

"I... don't want to use my tongue and say, who are they?"

"They are all witnesses. Like Ma Minjun, they were all deceived by Zhang Zehua. They can prove that what I just said is not wrong at all. Zhang Zehua deceived them with the deception I mentioned."

As soon as the words fell, the witnesses who were called began to complain impatiently. The most sinister part of Zhang Zehua's deception is to catch people's greed. external debt.

Although Zheng Xiangze was pedantic, he was not a fool. After listening to the confession, he understood the truth of the matter thoroughly.

"Good job Zhang Zehua! How dare you cheat! What else do you have to say?"

"I, I... I didn't, I was wronged."

"Now that things are up to now, you still dare to say that you have been wronged. Come and call me!"

Seeing that Zheng Xiangze was going to be serious, Master Huanfan grabbed Zhang Zehua by the collar and lifted him up, "It's unreasonable, you scoundrel, you actually cheated, are you worthy of my teaching? What else do you have to live with?" This world!"

"Master, I..."

As soon as he opened his mouth, Zhang Zehua felt a sharp pain in his heart. Under the continuous roar of Huanfan, he couldn't even say a word due to the severe body pain. When Huanfan let go of his hand, Zhang Zehua had lost his breath and fell directly on the ground.

"Disciple! Disciple, what's wrong with you? Human beings are not plants, so there is nothing wrong with you? You have done something wrong in a moment of obsession, just change it. Why do you want to commit suicide by taking poison, my disciple!"

Glancing at the spikes on Huan Fan's ring, Li Wei finally understood the black heart of this old man.

"Even if Zhang Zehua committed suicide in fear of crime, the previous bet cannot be counted."

"Naturally, I, Guiyuan, said that I disobeyed my disciples, and I won't shirk...ah!"

Before he finished speaking, Master Huanfan pulled out his dagger and cut off his little finger, which frightened everyone.

"You, what are you doing?"

Zheng Xiangze asked nervously.

"It's the fault of the son who doesn't teach the father, and the laziness of the teacher. Zhang Zehua is my disciple. He did something wrong, and I am also at fault. I will cut off my fingers and repent today. You don't have to worry. The money you have been cheated, even if you go bankrupt, I It will be returned to you as well.”

Li Wei didn't expect that Master Huanfan would come up with this trick, and he managed to label Gui Yuandao as a fraud to collect money, but Master Huanfan washed it away with his own blood.
