I am the carpenter king

Chapter 420 Jumping the beam clown

The people in the hall knelt on the ground, and said respectfully: "My lord, I understand!" His face was not very good-looking, and it seemed uncomfortable to kneel there, and he kept shaking from side to side.

Yang He frowned and looked at the people in the hall, including Ren Changle who was on the side. Comparing these two people, this plaintiff is not a good person no matter how you look at it.Although there are a lot of thoughts in my heart, but there is no expression on my face, I said in a deep voice: "Who is your name, where do you live, what do you do for a living, report it truthfully!"

"Yes, my lord, the little Zhao Qian is a native of Yangzhou. The villain is in the salt business. There are ten thousand salts in the family, which are passed down from the ancestors!" The people kneeling on the ground dared not have the slightest suspicion Concealed, revealed his identity literary network again.

Nodding his head slowly, Yang He said with an expression on his face: "I'm asking you, you said that Ren Bonian's salt is private salt, how did you know?"

"Returning to my lord, there is a big difference between official salt and private salt. Official salt has larger grains, while private salt is finer. In addition, the color of official salt is slightly yellow, while private salt is whiter. Then One day, Ren Bonian and I took our respective salts and went to collect the salt, and we were ready to go home after collecting the salt. But the younger one saw that Ren Bonian's salt was not right, so he sued the official!" Zhao Qian said with a face on his face. There is no tension at all, and there is no stagnation in speaking these words, all in one go. [

Frowning slightly, Yang He smiled playfully, and said in surprise: "You remember it clearly, it's really not easy! It's actually the same as the trial record on this file. It's the same thing twice, speaking of it There is no obstacle at all, it seems that you are very familiar with this passage!"

Zhao Qian was taken aback for a moment, his face became a little ugly, his eyes turned a few times, and he said in a deep voice: "My lord, I have never read a book, and I am a little stupid. I am afraid that my incomprehension will delay the trial of my lord. After knowing my lord After the trial of the case, the little one wrote down everything he said last time, and thought about how to say it every day, so that he said the same thing!"

Nodding his head noncommittally, Yang He didn't say anything, flipped through the file in his hand, and said in a deep voice: "You were looking for the magistrate's yamen at the time, right?"

"Yes, my lord!" Zhao Qian wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, looked up at Yang He, and quickly lowered his head again.

"Who did you report to the officer that day?" Yang He asked calmly without looking up.

Zhao Qian was taken aback for a moment, but he replied honestly: "The little boy came to the magistrate's yamen, and he was the one who sued Zhou Butou of the magistrate's yamen. Zhou Butou heard that someone was selling private salt, so he took it with him. The police went to check."

Nodding his head slowly, Yang He said with an expression on his face: "It is said that Zhou Butou will go to court!"

Immediately, someone repeated it, and the Jin Yiwei standing in the hall shouted: "Mighty!"

Not long after, Zhou Butou walked in with big strides. He was a man in his 40s.He had a beard with sideburns and sideburns, his eyes were wide open, and his face was full of flesh.

Picking up his clothes and kneeling on the ground, Catcher Zhou didn't dare to hold back the slightest bit, and said in a very respectful tone: "The humble official is the official's official supervisor, if you have anything to say, just ask, the humble official will definitely know whether you want to say something or not." all!"

Glancing at Zhou Butou, Yang He nodded with a smile, and said in a deep voice: "Zhou Butou is a member of the public family, and I will not say what I said to others. I believe Zhou Butou can answer well. My question."

"Naturally, don't worry, my lord. I'm sure I can't say enough about my humble job!" Zhou Catcher bowed his head and saluted, and said in a deep voice.

"Okay, very good, if this is the case, then let's talk about the events of that day! I want to know what happened!" Glancing at Emperor Tianqi, he saw him gently shaking the folding fan in his hand. Yang He breathed a sigh of relief with a calm look, and continued.

Facing Yang He, Zhou Butou said loudly: "My lord, I was on duty that day. At that time, Zhao Qian ran to Beizhi and said that someone was selling salt. Naturally, I would not dare to smuggle salt. Neglect, even take someone to have a look!"

Slowly nodded, Yang He looked at Zhou Butou with a smile, still very satisfied with his performance.

"Beizhi took people to the place where the private salt was stored. After searching, he found that the batch of salt was indeed different from the official salt in the past. But at that time, there was not much evidence, so he brought Ren's father and son back to the Yamen." Here, Zhou Butou didn't say anything, and lowered his head.

Yang He also understood what this meant. After Zhou Butou brought him back, it was Mr. Yang who interrogated him.The magistrate didn't bother to do anything, and soon settled the father and son for smuggling salt, and the case was settled after the arrest.

Glancing at the prefect of Suzhou, Yang He showed a trace of disgust at the corner of his mouth. He was a high-spirited scholar in the capital back then.How did he become such an official when he got to the place?Extremely capable!

Ren Changle who turned his gaze to one side, Yang He and Yan Yue said seductively, "Father and son of the Ren family, what do you have to say?"

Shaking the folding fan and walking to the middle of the lobby, Emperor Tianqi said with a smile: "My lord, the father and son have already handed over the case to me, so I will talk about it!"

If it was an ordinary litigator, Yang He might not let him stand up, but Emperor Tianqi was naturally an exception.Not only can't say anything, but also actively cooperate, Yang He nodded, and said in a deep voice: "Then just talk about it, young master!"

"First of all, one thing I want to say is that the Ren family and his son originally didn't want to go to collect salt. They go there two months later every year, and this person who is familiar with them can testify. So why this year? Two months to go? That’s because Zhao Qian and Ren Bonian are good friends, he went to Ren Bonian’s house and begged Ren Bonian to go with him.” Emperor Tianqi looked at Zhao Qian with a smile, With a look of embarrassment, the folding fan in his hand was shaking!

Whispering voices sounded outside, Yang He also looked at Zhao Qian who was on the side, and asked in a deep voice: "Zhao Qian, what this Mr. Bai said is the truth?"

"My lord, yes!" Zhao Qian couldn't lie about this matter, after all, many people knew about it. .

Turning his gaze to Emperor Tianqi, Yang He said with an expression on his face: "Gongben continue!"

Emperor Tianqi cupped his hands slightly, and said with a smile: "Secondly, the Ren family father and son have a total of 200 salt quotations, which were handed down from the ancestors. The Ren family father and son neither gamble nor poke, and the son is living a fairly rich life this day. Zhao Qian But it’s different, he only has [-] salts, and it’s not his anymore. A month ago, you lost [-] salts at the casino, but they didn’t take your salts away, instead gave them I gave you [-] taels of silver."

This is a frying pan. If according to Emperor Tianqi's statement, the Ren family father and son are well-off, why risk their lives to sell salt.On the contrary, Zhao Qian on the other side, no matter how you look at it, the private salt looks like he made it.

"This proves nothing!" Although Yang He knew that he wanted to help Emperor Tianqi, he couldn't make it too obvious.

"My lord, I'm not trying to prove anything, I'm just stating a fact, a fact that everyone agrees with!" Emperor Tianqi said with a smile on his face as Yang He cupped his hands.

Slowly nodded, Emperor Tianqi continued: "The last and most important thing is, where is the person who sells private salt? The other is the amount of salt. Since it is selling private salt, why is there only two The number of Wanyin?"

"That's because he only sold [-] yin this time!" No one said anything, and Zhao Qian couldn't help it. He could naturally hear that Emperor Tianqi was targeting him everywhere. If he didn't say anything, I'm afraid he would It's troublesome!

"You're right. This time he only sold [-] salts. Why? Because he only has [-] salts in his hand. It's no secret that Ren Bonian has [-] salts. Yangzhou City As long as you inquire here, you will definitely be able to find out. At the beginning of the year, [-] salt coins were exchanged, and the remaining [-] salt coins were exchanged two months later. If the [-] salt coins confiscated by the government were private salt, then Where did the [-] official salt exchanged by Ren Bonian go?" Zhao Qian, the emperor of Tianqi, was smiling, his eyes were full of sarcasm!

Zhao Qian's face was flushed red, he opened his lips a few times but didn't say anything, and his face became very ugly.The magistrate of Yangzhou on one side lowered his head, and no one could see the expression on his face, but it was definitely not good-looking.

"Then who knows? Maybe Ren Bonian originally wanted to transport private salt, and he has hidden the [-] official salt!" Zhao Qian said suddenly, raised his head and said to Emperor Tianqi and others.

Looking at Zhao Qian with a smile again, Emperor Apocalypse clearly wrote it, so I'm afraid you won't speak!Shaking the paper fan in his hand, Emperor Tianqi said with a smile: "Let's not talk about how to exchange the [-] official salt for private salt under your nose, will anyone in the world exchange official salt for private salt?"

Hearing Emperor Tianqi's words, the outside immediately burst into laughter. Everyone knows that private salt is clean, delicious, and has many advantages.Surely no one would be so stupid as to use private salt to sell official salt, even fools would not do this!

Seeing Zhao Qian stunned, Emperor Tianqi went on to say: "And you said that the secret [-] official salt was hidden by Ren Bonian, and then went to traffic in private salt. Since you have official salt in your hand, why do you still buy it?" Are you going to smuggle salt? As we all know, smuggling salt is a deadly business, who would do it so easily."

"The last point, [-] yuan of salt is hidden, thank you for thinking of it!" Emperor Tianqi's last sentence was already wearing a thick sarcasm, but all the people at the scene were applauding, not necessarily understandable, but also I feel that Emperor Tianqi's sales are much stronger than Zhao Qian's.

"This official must find out the source of the [-] yuan of salt. As long as you know how it came from, you will know whether it is official salt or private salt! When the official finds out the matter, in the trial, Retire!" Yang He really couldn't go on with the trial, he couldn't wait to know what Emperor Tianqi was going to do! (To be continued.
