The Zombie Book Boy

Open, the three of them rushed to the township all the way, and as soon as they entered the street, they heard people talking about it.

Sitting on the shaft of the carriage, Bai Jia pricked up his ears. When the carriage stopped at the gate of the old house, he also made a fuss about the matter.

"The master and the young master were taken directly to the county government office, and the criminal manager just left." Today, the porter of the Pang family's old house is an old man. When he saw the three people coming, he trotted over: "Hurry up, maybe you can catch up with them." superior"

"Thank you Ding Bo!", Qian'er greeted Zhuangzi and got back into the carriage.

Bai Jia jumped onto the shaft of the chariot and sat down. As soon as he raised the whip in his hand, a person rushed out from the door: "Silver, redemption, redemption!"

The person who came was the big fool from the Pang family, Shunzi, and he was holding a bag of silver in his hand, and he kept moving towards Bai Jia.

Qian'er and Spindle poked their heads out of the car, and shouted: "Brother Shunzi, this is for you to marry your wife in the future, take it back quickly." Before they left the house, they also prepared silver taels. his.

"Save, save people", Shunzi is a little stupid, but he is also stubborn, it seems that he just stands like this if he can't get the money out, and this fool sticks to the shaft of the carriage. Scrape down.

Ding Bo on the side sighed, and said, "Boy Bai, you should pick it up, or else this big fool will fight you to the end."

Bai Jia also felt that it was not a problem to do so, so he took it as promised. The money was heavy, at least 50 taels, and he had saved it for a long time, "Shunzi, thank you!" Shunzi's shoulder, in exchange for a smirk from the other party.

With a flick of the whip, there was a 'snap', and the carriage galloped away, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

Ding Bo glanced at Shunzi, who was still scratching his neck, then looked at the half-open door behind him, and murmured, "One by one, you might as well be a fool."

Because of the delay, the three of them failed to catch up with the Xing Guanshi. When Bai Jia and the others arrived, the gate of the yamen was already surrounded by people on the inner and outer third floors.

Qian'er and the spindle were blocked outside, and they couldn't even touch the gate, so they turned around in a hurry: "There are so many people, it can't be squeezed, but what should I do?"

Bai Jiabi scratched the wall of the county government office, considering how much effort he should use, then moved the money and the spindle aside, held one in each hand, and jumped up the high wall. The inside was still full of people, but it did not hinder the hearing, because , the court was placed in the courtyard.

Before Qian'er and Dingzi had time to be surprised, they saw two people kneeling in the place that was surrounded by the court, their faces turned pale: "It's the master and the young master."

The Pang family father and son were in a panic at this moment, their hair was disheveled, and their clothes were very messy. Bai Jia squinted his eyes, and he smelled blood from the fat man.

33

Sitting in the high hall was a bearded man in a scarlet official uniform. The man in front of him was a leopard. Although Bai Jia didn't know who he was, he knew that he was a military officer. As we all know, county magistrates are all civil servants. Therefore, the person with the black gauze on his head and the blue official uniform sitting on the lower head is the head of a county in Shanglin County. Looking at the Beijing soldiers in armor and swords in the courtyard, I think that the person who will be judging the case today must be the inspector. Make no doubt.

As soon as the three of them climbed onto the wall, they saw a wild dog brought by one yamen servant, and a knife of meat by another yamen servant. The dog was skinny and smelt of meat, and jumped on it. The courtyard was silent, with so many pairs of eyes staring straight at it. Watching the wild dogs bite and swallow the meat whole.

Qian'er whispered: "What is this for?", and at the same time turned his head to look to the side, and the spindle was the same. I don't know when, Bai Jia has become the backbone of several people.

Bai Jia didn't say much, just raised his chin, and motioned for the two to look down. Qian'er and Dingzi didn't have any doubts for a long time, but at the next moment, the dog screamed, staggered twice and fell to the ground, his whole body twitching. Black blood began to flow from his mouth.

The crowd of onlookers 'coaxed' and exploded: "That meat is poisonous!"

Qian'er and Spindle were also taken aback, their bodies swayed, and they almost fell down from the wall, but fortunately Bai Jia was quick to hold them.

Wu Zuo immediately stepped forward, sniffed the blood, then bowed and replied: "My lord, the poison this dog has had a sour smell is the same as the nine dead ones. It was caused by the widow eating the poison by mistake. "

Poison widow is a kind of shrub, its roots are like tumors, and there is yellow ointment in it. Dilute a small amount with water and apply it to treat psoriasis. It is poisonous when it enters the mouth. It grows on cliffs and cliffs. It is rare.

After the words fell, the crowd was even more noisy, and someone scolded: "It's really a black heart, nine lives, it's just gone, it really should be dragged out and chopped up!"

In a corner of the courtroom, there were corpses covered with white cloth lying side by side, no more, no less, exactly nine, surrounded by officers and soldiers, and all the family members of the deceased were present. Listen.

During the period, some people shouted: "Fortunately, it was discovered early. If it takes a few days at night, it is uncertain how many people will die."

"I weighed two catties of bacon at his shop the day before yesterday. Fortunately, I was not willing to eat it, but it was a pity for the copper coins I used."

The Pang family has a shop in the county, which sells dry goods as well as meat, mostly pickled sausage and bacon.Those who were present, who had a few copper coins in their pockets and who had never visited Pang's shop, all felt scared at this moment.

Among them, a shit stirrer shouted: "This matter can't be so good, we have to ask for an explanation"

"Yes, yes, this matter is endless." For a while, the noise in the courtyard approached the vegetable market.

Qian'er and Zhuangzi gritted their teeth angrily, Bai Jia sneered, asking for an explanation?Why did he feel that everyone was trying to take advantage of the fire, but he really complied with that sentence, don't take advantage of the bastards.

Seeing the crowd turning into a mess, the inspector slapped the gavel and said, "Be quiet."

The two rows of yamen servants held killing sticks in their hands, and shouted in a long tune: "Wei~wu" The crowd gradually quieted down, and the inspector leaned forward and said, "Dear Pang Xiao, the meat came from your shop, and the dog was killed on the spot." Kill, now that the evidence is solid, can you plead guilty?"

Pang Xiao's relative is Pang Youjiao. When the incident happened, his post of Youjiao had already been resigned. At this time, he was a little embarrassed: "My lord, the grassroots are wronged. The pork sold in my shop every day is killed in front of the neighbors. , if it is poisonous, how can it be as usual even after being stabbed?"

"According to what you said, is this official slandering you?" The inspector's face darkened.

Master Pang prostrated himself on the ground: "My lord, Cao Min said that there is something strange about this matter, I hope your lord will see clearly."

"Oh, what a strange method?"

Pang Xiaoqin was eager to get rid of the crime, so he didn't hear the displeasure in the inspector's tone, and said bluntly: "My butcher shop supplies five pigs a day, and the shop will be emptied and closed when the meat is not available at every moment. I don't know where the knife and meat came from at this time. Also, the pigs on the case weigh at least two hundred catties each. There are hundreds of customers in the township every day. It just happened that nine lives were lost.”

Although Mr. Pang is old, his mind is not confused. He knows that the person who stabbed him in the back when he was suffering from swine fever has shot again. It's just that he underestimated the other party and struck him so hard, obviously intending to kill him. With the road to nowhere, he was a little uncertain, for his idea of ​​family property, why is this so?Or is there another meaning here?Thinking of this, he turned his head to look at his son who was kneeling beside him, feeling a throbbing pain in his heart.

"Listen to what you said, there is some truth in it." The inspector's bearded face showed no expression: "If that's the case, then find someone who knows to prove your innocence. It just so happens that I want to hear it too."

Not long after, a yamen servant brought an old man over, and when they met each other, Qian'er and Dingzi both exclaimed: "It's the manager of the field!"

Bai Jia was thoughtful: "The eighth grandma brought the manager of the field, right?"

"Yes, thanks to the fact that the eighth grandma is favored, she has always been domineering in the old house." Qian'er spat, and then he was puzzled: "What kind of witness is this old man? If you want to find it, you have to find it take care of it"

Bai Jia shook her head secretly, thinking that this child is still a little naive, this is not to prove his innocence to Master Pang, this is obviously a poisonous snake, came to claim his life.

"Who is in the hall?"

Together with the gavel, Steward Tian put his head on the ground twice before he half straightened up and said, "Little Tian Song is the steward of the Pang family."

"I'm asking you, before you reported that the Pang family had swine fever more than a month ago, but it's true."

After the words fell, the crowd began to buzz again, the inspector raised his eyes and glanced, this man was worthy of being a military officer, his eyes were dark, and no one dared to make a sound wherever he passed.

"My lord, everything I said is true, if there is even half a lie, I hope that there will be a thunderbolt, and I will die." Tian Guanshi swears and swears, he is upright, and Pang Xiaoqin, who is watching, wants to step forward and beat the old man to death. Well, he regrets it now, if he knew today, he should have driven this pickled thing out early.

"That being the case, then tell me in detail"

Tian Song, in this way, added fuel to the story of the Pang family being harassed at the door a few days ago, and then said: "The little one was also careful after the swine fever incident, and only then discovered that the Pang family The pigs in the butcher shop are all bright on the outside, but they are still sick on the inside, but they got a folk prescription from nowhere and fed the pigs medicine, one of which is poisonous widow.”

As he spoke, he took out a paper bag from his pocket and held it up high. The yamen servant took it and handed it up. After a while, I recruited the author to come over to identify it. The author was also good at medicine. After checking it, he pointed to a small handful of powder and said, "This is the poisonous widow."

The inspector nodded, and then said to Tiansong: "Go on."

This time, Tian Song straightened his back a lot: "It is said that this medicine can cure the swine fever with poison, and Xiaoyuan also believed it, but later found that the medicine can cure for a while, but only
