Reborn in the last years of Kangxi

Chapter 1134
Cao Yong has known Tang Zhiyu for many years, and he knows that he is a upright person, and he will never make the decision to impeach Guo Yiyu because of the one-sided words of "female ghost".

"Yi Gong, but what's wrong with the dossier?" Cao Yong asked when there were only two people left.

Tang Zhiyu nodded and said, "Yes, it's extremely inappropriate. It only took three or two days from the death of Zhang Yushi to the conclusion of this case, which is really too hasty. In addition to Zhang Hu who was imprisoned, there is another suspect He was also at the scene of the murder when the crime happened. Except for showing up as a witness on the opening day, he disappeared afterwards. The people mentioned above are also vague. If there is nothing tricky in it, I don’t believe it. Yes. The officer deliberated on the case last night, and always felt that there was something hidden in it. After staying up late in the night, he was a little dazed. When he saw the fake female ghost, he really thought it was a confession made by a ghost in a dream. Thinking about seeing it himself Those story books, the Baogong case and Shi Gong case in the early years, will I also have a Tang Gong case.” At the end, he himself laughed.

This is the county government office, and even if the chief envoy's stay is not private, it will not be well known.

Knowing Tang Zhiyu's identity, he wanted to take advantage of it. If he didn't have power, he wouldn't have seized the opportunity so well.

Hearing Tang Zhiyu mention these doubts, Cao Yong thought for a while and said: "Since this is the case, what is Yigong going to do next?"

"Ask Guo Yiyu the reason first, he doesn't look panicked, maybe he knows the real body of the night ghost." Tang Zhiyu said.

Now, not only is the murder of Zhang Yushi suspicious, but also the county government is not peaceful. Some people pretend to be ghosts and want to use Tang Zhiyu's knife to deal with Guo Yiyu, the parent official.

Cao Yong thought of this, his heart sank slightly.

As Tang Zhiyu, he didn't need to deal with Guo Yiyu at all, but asked someone to invite him over, and asked him what he was wondering: "Where is Fengyang Qiusheng in Zhang Yu's murder?"

Guo Yiyu froze when he heard the words, and said: "This... I don't know about the humble job... Maybe I'm going back to my hometown."

Now, even Cao Yong, who was on the sidelines, felt that Guo Yiyu's reaction was weird, so he heard Tang Zhiyu ask: "Since he is a foreigner, who can prove his identity? This father, Qiu Da, and mother, Wang, live in Xiaoli Village, Qianguo Township, Fengyang. Are they all verified?"

As Tang Zhiyu questioned, Guo Yiyu's face became paler and his forehead was profusely sweaty.

He slowly raised his head, looked at Tang Zhiyu with a frosty face, sighed, lifted his front skirt, and landed on his knees: "My lord, the humble official did not send an official document to Fengyang to verify his identity, he is guilty of negligence!"

Hearing this, Tang Zhiyu's face became more and more icy, and he said in a deep voice: "It's just negligence? If it's a witness in an ordinary case, you don't need to be so careful, but he is also at the scene of the murder. This is another witness in a life lawsuit. The person who killed Zhang Yushi The real culprit is Zhang Hu, or this Qiu Sheng?"

After hearing this, Guo Yiyu quickly raised his head, with an anxious expression on his face, he said: "Human life is at stake, how dare a lowly position violate the law? This piece of Yu's death was indeed at the hands of Zhang Hu, and there are all witnesses and material evidence!"

When Tang Zhiyu heard this, his expression softened a little, and he said: "Since Zhang Hu is the real murderer and has nothing to do with Qiu Sheng, why do you help him hide his identity? The law is ruthless, how can you allow me to play for personal gain?"

Guo Yiyu didn't make any further excuses after listening to the questioning, and said with a pale face, "It's the fault of the lowly job. This student is a distant relative of the lowly job. I was afraid that this case would ruin his future, so he didn't indicate his real identity."

Even if he started, he didn't dare to hide any more and explained the past clearly.

The "Qiu Sheng" mentioned in this case, whose real name is "Qiu Xiaoyuan", is a distant relative of Guo Yiyu, from Hejianxian County, who passed the child birth test last year.

I heard that the Lotus Academy was built in Qingyuan City, and Mr. Ren and Guo Yiyu, some great Confucian scholars who came from Beijing, planned to send their eldest son to study there.He was also afraid that his son would be young, so he thought of this nephew of the Qiu family.Thinking of finding a companion for his son and repaying the Qiu family's early favor, he sent someone to send a letter to the Qiu family, mentioning this matter.

Both of Qiu Xiaoyuan's parents died, and he lived with his grandparents, and his family was not well off.

Hearing that Guo Yiyu wanted to sponsor his grandson's education, the grandparents of the Qiu family were overjoyed, bought new clothes for their grandson, and raised dozens of taels of silver.

The grandfather of the Qiu family originally planned to send his grandson here in person, but he fell ill before leaving the house. They thought that the distance between the two places was not far away, so they entrusted a fellow merchant who often traveled to Jinghai to take his grandson along.

The merchant also went straight to Jinghai County with all his heart, and helped Qiu Xiaoyuan ask for the way to the county government, and they broke up after two strokes.

Unexpectedly, there was an accident in the distance between the city gate and the county government.

Zhang Hu's family runs a wine shop, and he looks like a decent person, but he is actually a well-known drunkard and rascal.Mrs. Yu is pretty, but she has a romantic temperament. The husband and wife set up a situation to cheat money.

Ever since Qiu Xiaoyuan entered the city, he was followed by Zhang Hu, so he set up a trap to lure Qiu Xiaoyuan to the wine shop.

Fortunately, Qiu Xiaoyuan was just young and ignorant, not a real licentious person, and did not go to molesting Yu Shi.

After Zhang Hu drank, he was a little annoyed when he saw that Qiu Xiaoyuan didn't take the bait.

Qiu Xiaoyuan saw through the "beauty trap", although he didn't bring out relatives of the magistrate to suppress people, but he couldn't wait for a moment, and he wanted to leave with a burden.

The cooked duck, how could Zhang Hu let him fly? Seeing that Qiu Xiaoyuan was young and frail, he drew out a knife to threaten him.

Yu Shi pretended to fight again, it was unfortunate for the husband and wife, Zhang Hu was so drunk that he tripped and fell on Yu Shi.

The knife in that hand was sharp, and it stabbed Yushi's neck all at once.

Before Zhang Hu came to his senses, Yu twitched twice, killing his life.

The wine shop was facing the street, although Qiu Xiaoyuan was terrified, but he was afraid that Zhang Hu would kill someone to silence him, so he pushed open the street door and started yelling when Zhang Hu was unprepared.

So, the case was sent to the government.

There were bloodstains on Zhang Hu's hands and cuffs, and when he arrived at the government, he was still in a daze, but he honestly confessed his guilt, only admitting "manslaughter".

Seeing that Qiu Xiaoyuan was involved in the case, Guo Yiyu was taken aback.It was also Qiu Xiaoyuan who was alert, afraid that Guo Yiyu would be involved, so he just pretended not to know each other, and didn't recognize relatives in the yamen.

Guo Yiyu originally thought that since Zhang Hu pleaded guilty, there was no need to state the fact that their husband and wife set up a situation, otherwise Qiu Xiaoyuan would really be suspected of being an "adulter" and his future would be hindered.

Unexpectedly, on the second day after the incident, Zhang Hu changed his words, not admitting that he had "manslaughter", and insisted that Qiu Xiaoyuan "raped and killed".

Li Pengju, the third master of the Li family, the head snake in Jinghai, went to the county government in person and sent 500 taels of silver to explain the matter for his brother Zhang Hu.

In his opinion, no matter what the truth is, he cannot let his brother die.That boy from out of town is the best scapegoat.

Guo Yiyu was shocked and angry, of course he refused to agree to Li Pengju's proposal.

Even if Qiu Xiaoyuan is not his distant relative, but just a stranger, it is impossible for him to kill a life just for a few hundred taels of silver.

In order to prevent Ye Chang Meng from having more dreams, Guo Yiyu quickly resolved the case and quietly sent Zheng Xiaoyuan away.

From Li Pengju's point of view, it was because Guo Yiyu didn't know how to flatter and deliberately made things difficult for him, and the relationship between the two families became tense.

The physical evidence has already been written in the case file, including Zhang Hu's bloody coat and witnesses. When the neighbors entered, Zhang Hu was supporting Yu, only saying that he did not do it on purpose.

Therefore, after listening to Guo Yiyu's narration, Tang Zhiyu did not question the outcome of the trial.

"Everyone has selfish intentions. Today you are the future of your relatives and children, so you can cover up their identities. If you really commit murder tomorrow, will you spare them in order to save their lives?" Tang Zhiyu pondered for a moment, then said: "This dossier Master Guo, it is better to write a new copy. Since Zhang Hu repented and pleaded not guilty, you can let the Zhang family go to the government office to sue!"

"Yes, I would like to follow the teachings of Master Fantai!" Guo Yiyu was ashamed, and said embarrassingly with a red face.

Although Tang Zhiyu didn't like Guo Yiyu, it could be seen that he knelt for a long time, panicking, and couldn't say anything more, so he just waved his hand to wake him up.

On the contrary, Cao Yong, remembering Li Pengju mentioned in this case, said to Guo Yiyu: "The person pretending to be a ghost is a member of Li Pengju? In the county government, is there anyone from the Li family?"

"The magistrate of the county is a cousin of the Li family. He told Li Pengju that he wanted to visit the magistrate's office." Guo Yiyu said helplessly, "Li Pengju went to the magistrate to make a fuss about Zhang Hu. After a few times, if it wasn't for the old man of the Li family to suppress him, I'm afraid he would go directly to the prison to snatch people."

Of course, Tang Zhiyu didn't like Guo Yiyu's tampering with the case; Tang Zhiyu was even more disgusted by the one who blackmailed them during the day and knew his identity, and then pretended to be fools.

It's just that there is no reason to arrest people for a while, and it can't be said that they suspect that the other party is pretending to be a ghost and arrest people.

It's still Cao Yong, who asked Zhang Yi to write the pleadings just to deal with Li Pengju.

It's not that he is reluctant to part with the 150 taels of silver, but he just doesn't want anyone to continue to be blackmailed.Look at Li Pengju's aura that day, a disagreement can make people violent.

If the guest spared his life, he was only giving up his money; if the guest was reluctant to give up the money, he might really be killed.

Tang Zhiyu also thought of this, looked at Cao Yong, saw him nodding, and said to Guo Yiyu: "Li Pengju is blackmailing day by day, lawless, if someone hands you a pleading paper, will the county magistrate Guo accept it?"

After hearing this, Guo Yiyu straightened his waist and said, "If someone is really handing over the pleadings, I will naturally dare to accept the lowly position. It's just that in Jinghai City, the Li family is powerful, even if someone suffers from Li Pengju's hands, they will mostly bear it. People dare to show their faces."

Leaving aside whether Guo Yiyu, the county magistrate, was qualified or not, Tang Zhiyu couldn't tolerate Li Pengju, a local snake who harmed the people.

He didn't say much to Guo Yiyu, and after consulting Cao Yong, Zhang Yi came forward and handed over the pleadings to the county government.

The ink on the paper dried early, and Guo Yiyu recognized it as the handwriting of Mr. Baizi in the city.

After Guo Yiyu read the content of the pleadings, he knew that Li Pengju had actually blackmailed the chief envoy, and that the chief envoy and his party would pay the 150 taels of silver, so he knew that Li Pengju was doomed.

*
West of the city, Li's house.

Li Peng raised his wine glass and tried to persuade him to drink.

Sitting opposite him was a woman in her twenties, with a handsome face and an air of grace, with a touch of frankness in her words: "It's in the north, it's hard to do it, and you have to play tricks; if it's in the south, the dog official of the Tartars If you dare to turn black and white like this, you should die long ago..."

*
