Fisherman's Song Dynasty

Li Luoyan did not come alone, she was accompanied by her father and younger brother, Xu Zizhen was about to turn around and slip away, but saw Li Luoyan's father walking over quickly, clasped his fists and said: "Thank you, sir, for saving my little girl, your kindness is beyond reproach memorable!"

As a result, Xu Zizhen had no choice but to stop, and hastily returned the courtesy: "You're welcome, it's right to draw your sword to help when you see injustice." He glanced at Li Luoyan, and added, "Actually, I went here specially for the abduction case, my love. It happened to be on that boat, it was just a coincidence."

Li Luoyan's father gave a thumbs up and said sincerely: "Mr. Xu is very skilled and courageous, and he is so humble. Li Sheng admires him!"

Xu Zizhen smiled and said, "I'm just a poor man, what kind of son is it? You can call me Zizhen or Xiao Xu."

Li Sheng also said with a smile: "Haha! I'm a little older, if Brother Xu doesn't dislike you, how about calling me Brother in the future?"

Xu Zizhen is very happy, calling you brother?Then your daughter can't force her to marry me?This is good!Immediately, he quickly cupped his fists and shouted in a dignified manner: "Brother Li!"

Li Luoyan next to him was not happy, stomped his feet and said coquettishly: "Father! You...how do you match up with Big Brother Xu? What do you want me and Xiaomeng to do?"

Li Sheng glared: "What should I do? You and brother Xu have their own affairs. Let's call each other our own."

Xu Zizhen was suddenly dumbfounded, what do you mean by calling each other?After a long time, he still agreed with his daughter to keep an eye on me?Then what is this called, isn't it a mess?

"Brother Xu, this is the dog Li Meng." Li Sheng pulled the boy next to him, who was also Li Luoyan's younger brother: "Uncle Xu!"

Li Meng has a strong body and looks very pleasing, so he came over and shouted respectfully: "Uncle Xu!"

Xu Zizhen still remembers this kid. When he was facing Master Hua last time, he would fight as soon as he said it. He didn’t feel embarrassed at all. Brother Xu will do, I'm not that old."

Li Sheng laughed and pulled Xu Zizhen and said: "Yesterday, Xiaomeng and I went to Chongyuan Temple to find my senior brother. The monk there said that female benefactors are not allowed to enter, so I had to leave Luo'er outside the door, but she didn't know why. You were drugged and abducted, if it wasn't for Brother Xu's righteousness to save you...I can't say, I have to ask you to get drunk today anyway!"

Xu Zizhen said with a smile: "Drinking can be done at any time, but we have to go to a place first, and thank people." After talking about the old man in Wangsi Restaurant who rescued Li Luoyan who fell into the water yesterday said.

"Yes, yes, this is a must!" Li Sheng nodded repeatedly.

At this moment, Li Luoyan suddenly said: "Brother Xu, look over there...it seems to be Uncle Cheng."

Uncle Cheng was the old man who rescued her yesterday. Xu Zizhen looked back and saw a group of people making noisiness towards the gate of the mansion. Someone in the middle of the group was carrying a door panel, and a person was lying on it, covered with a white cloth. Cheng Bo was in the middle of the line, holding on to the door with tears in his eyes, looking extremely sad.

"What's going on? Something happened to their house?" Xu Zizhen was stunned, and then ran after him, "Let's go, let's go and have a look."

When they arrived at the door, a middle-aged man at the head of the team had already complained. Jin Yuxi, who was on duty, hurried in to inform the prefect of Wen. Xu Zizhen walked up to Uncle Cheng and called out softly, "Uncle Cheng, what is it... ?”

Cheng Bo raised his head and saw that it was him, quickly put away his tears, cupped his hands and said, "Mr. Xu." Then he looked at the door beside him, two lines of muddy tears rolled down his eyes, and said with a choked voice, "This is my young master." , this morning... my heart hurts this morning, so I went..."

"This!" Xu Zizhen was stunned, looking at the small figure on the door panel, who looked about ten years old by size, his heart ached?Is it possible to have congenital heart disease?Then what did you come to the magistrate's yamen for?

At this time, Jin Yuxi ran out quickly again, shouting: "Shengtang!"

Prefect Wen had already turned out of the inner hall. The two middle-aged couples at the head of the team came to the front of the hall and knelt down. One of the couples shouted that they were wronged, and the door was placed beside them.

The owner at the side had already handed over the pleadings, and the prefect Wen read it carefully, and said to the hall: "Wang Manfu, you sue Wang Manlu for poisoning your youngest son while you were out, do you have evidence?"

The middle-aged man kneeling in his head touched the ground with his forehead, and cried: "Your Excellency, I have learned from you. The day before yesterday, Xiaomin went out with the poor, because the west wind was very strong, so I didn't take the child away. I entrusted my brother to take care of it for two days. Who will you?" Knowing that when I returned home early this morning, my brother told me... that my youngest son died of heartache just yesterday night! My lord, my youngest son is only ten years old, how can there be any heartache, please be clear! "

Before he finished speaking, he was already lying on the ground and weeping so hard that Xu Zizhen felt pity in his heart when he watched from outside the court.

The defendant Wang Manlu, who was kneeling beside him, quickly kowtowed, saying that he was wronged, and insisted that Wang Manfu's son died of heartache.

Prefect Wen slapped the gavel to stop the crying in the hall. Not long after, the uncle with a face full of bitterness and hatred entered the hall, bowed to Prefect Wen, then came to the door and knelt down to examine the corpse. Lifting the white cloth, a delicate and delightful child's face was revealed, but it was pale and lifeless.

Xu Zizhen's heart suddenly twitched when the white cloth was just lifted, because this child reminded him of his younger brother, and he came here inexplicably, and he was the only child who was still in elementary school, and he became a veritable orphan. I don't know what to do in the future.

Uncle Gui groped for a while on the child's head and body, then opened his eyelids to look again, turned around and saluted Wen Zhifu, and said slowly: "My lord, this child has no external injuries and no signs of poisoning. Looking at it, it looks like dying of heartache and illness."

As soon as the words came out, the defendant's wife was the first to yell: "Look, you see, everyone said that the child died of distress, and you insist on wronging our husband and wife! Please judge right from wrong, and return my husband and wife's innocence!"

The bitter master and his wife were completely opposite. After Uncle Gui judged the cause of death, they immediately burst into tears, banging their heads on the ground, and kept saying that they were wronged. They had a child in middle age, and they regarded this child as their heart and soul. Darling, how can they accept that he died young at the age of ten, and was judged to have died of distress.

Mr. Wen seems to trust Uncle Gui’s judgment. Although the sufferer’s appearance is really miserable, but according to what Uncle Gui said, just as Uncle Gui held the gavel and was about to take a picture of the final case, he suddenly spotted Xu Zizhen from the corner of his eye. Anger stood outside the door with his fists clenched tightly, as if he was about to rush in at any time.

"Zizhen!"

Xu Zizhen suddenly heard someone calling him, but when he looked up, he saw that it was the prefect Wen, so he hurried in and saluted: "My lord!"

Prefect Wen smiled slightly: "This government sees that you are thinking, if you have any opinions, you might as well say it."

Xu Zizhen didn't expect Mr. Wen to order him, so he nodded in a daze, clasped his fists and said, "My lord, in my opinion, this child definitely didn't die from heartache, but...he killed him!"

As soon as these words came out, there was a sudden commotion in the hall, the faces of the defendant and his wife suddenly changed, and the sufferer and his wife kowtowed after a moment of sluggishness, saying that they have learned from you.

Uncle Gui was a little displeased. He is a senior clerk in the Suzhou government office. He has been in this line of work for decades, and he has almost never missed an autopsy. Did he kill him?"

Although Xu Zizhen didn't like the old man, but knowing that he was an old man in this mansion, he didn't dare to be too presumptuous, so he smiled awkwardly: "Uncle Gui, human life is at stake, I can only offend once, sorry. "

The defendant yelled: "Your Excellency, you are wronged! My nephew really died of a heartache. This master is just spitting blood, please be clear, Your Excellency!"

Xu Zizhen didn't dare to show embarrassment to Uncle Gui, but he was not so polite to this guy. He could see clearly from outside the door. I missed my younger brother, and when I thought that I would never see him again, I felt a twinge of pain in my heart.

Now that the defendant is spitting, he can't hold back, and it doesn't matter if this is the court, the prefect Wen is still in the hall, he stepped forward and kicked the defendant's face, and kicked the defendant Wang Manlu upside down with a bang.
