Han Dang is stronger

Chapter 31 is the biggest flaw
"But here is the statement signed by him, what else do you have to say now?"

Hearing the county magistrate's words, and seeing the bamboo slips in his hand, not to mention the younger Xiang Yang and Xiang Ta and other members of the Xiang family, even the oldest Xiang Zhuang and Xiang Sheng could not help but change their faces. Heartbroken.Xiang Kang was also very nervous in his heart, but the expression on his face remained calm, and he said: "Sir, can I let you take a look at my cousin's confession?"

"Mr. Xiang, the matter has come to this point, do you still want to die?" The county magistrate answered irrelevantly, and said: "I remind you again, now that you confess truthfully, you can still be less guilty, but if you continue to sophistry and lie , even if this official wants to be lenient with you, he is powerless."

"Young Master Xiang, this is an opportunity that the county magistrate kindly gave you." The chief jailer sitting next to him also said: "Now that you confess truthfully, it can be regarded as a self-report (surrender), and according to the Great Qin Law, the crime can be reduced by one level. If you miss this opportunity, according to the laws of the Qin Dynasty, your crime is not as simple as being punished as Cheng Dan and serving in Lishan."

If it was replaced by other Xiang family children, the harmony between the Prime Minister of Xiaxiang County and the jailer would probably have achieved results. Xiang Kang who was baptized by related film and television dramas.So no matter how nervous he was, Xiang Kang didn't believe the words of Xiaxiang County Chancellor and Prison Officer, and replied: "Thank you for your kind reminder, but if I didn't commit a crime, I didn't commit a crime, and what I said was all the truth." , so there is no need to reduce the crime."

"If you don't see the coffin, you won't cry!" Shan Youwei, who hated Xiang Kang so much that he hated him so much, finally spoke, and said with his hand cupped to the Xiangxian Prime Minister: "I am a superior official, these thieves are stubborn, and I think that there is no need to give them any freedom." Now is the time to sue, let them see for themselves how Xiang You was recruited, and then see what they have to say!"

"Ah." The county magistrate sighed regretfully, and then said: "Mr. Xiang Kang, this is your chance not to report yourself. Then it's no wonder that this official doesn't miss the old love. Come, let Xiang You's Show them the confession and let them know how Xiang You was recruited."

"I'll come in person." The jailer volunteered, got up and took the bamboo slip that recorded Xiang You's confession, unfolded a part, and asked someone to bring an oil lamp, and walked in front of the Xiang family's children with the bamboo slip and oil lamp, and let the Xiang family's children Watch Xiang You's statement.

The jailer first let Xiang Ta, Xiang Yang and other members of the Xiang family read the confession. As a result, he only glanced at the words on the bamboo slips. Seeing the confession, the members of the Xiang family reacted in much the same way, and Xiang Zhuang said in a broken voice, "How is it possible? How could Xiang You talk such nonsense?"

I once heard Feng Zhong talk about the rules of judging cases in this era, knowing that at this time, if you open your mouth indiscriminately at this time, you will be beaten ten times with a bamboo board. Try to stand up straight and relax your expression, so that the children of the Xiang family can find the feeling of the backbone when they see themselves, so that they won't be too flustered to tell the truth.As a result, this also achieved the effect Xiang Kang hoped for. Seeing Xiang Kang's calm appearance, no matter how nervous the Xiang family's children were, they did not rush to speak. They just patiently waited for Xiang Kang's reaction.

The jailer finally put the bamboo slips in front of Xiang Kang. With the light of the oil lamp, Xiang Kang saw that there was indeed Xiang You's autograph on the bamboo slips. Most of the content of the confession, unfolding a few pieces of bamboo slips, just reads: "...my father Xiang Bo was with me in the temple. Give my father a chance to escape."

"How about it, Mr. Xiang Kang, have you seen it clearly?" The jailer asked with a smile, "What else do you have to say now?"

"Mr. Xiang Kang, tell the truth, or I will be tortured." The county magistrate also threatened with a smile.

"Sir, why are you being polite to him?" Shan Youwei said, "This bandit named Xiang Kang is extremely cunning, he doesn't need to be severely punished, and he will never confess! The subordinate proposes that he be punished directly!"

The faces of the Xiang family's children became paler and paler. Thinking back to Xiang You's resentful gaze when he was brought up for trial alone, fine cold sweat also appeared on Xiang Kang's forehead. While thinking quickly in his mind, Xiang Kang's eyes suddenly fell on Xiang You's autograph, no matter how you looked at it, looked like Xiang You's autograph, his eyes suddenly lit up again, and he couldn't help laughing out, "Haha, hahaha."

"Mr. Xiang Kang, what are you laughing at?" The jailer on the opposite side asked suspiciously, but all the brothers of the Xiang family were overjoyed, and immediately focused their attention on Xiang Kang.

"I laugh at the fake signature of Xiang You's signature that you imitated, and there are too many flaws." Xiang Kang said with a smile: "Sir, who forged my brother's signature? I think you should beat him, the imitation is too bad , it can be seen at a glance that it is not my cousin's autograph."

When he said this, Xiang Kang had been staring closely at the prisoner's eyes, and after seeing the prisoner's pupils constricted violently, Xiang Kang raised his heart in his throat and fell back into his stomach. The bet is right, it looks like Xiang You's autograph, and nine out of ten it is really a forgery.

"You said the signature was fake?" the county magistrate asked boldly, "Where is the fake?"

"It's all fake, every stroke and every painting is fake." Xiang Kang said with a smile: "Also, can you trouble the jailer to unfold all the bamboo slips and let me see the one in front of my cousin Xiang You?" Confession content?"

The jailer had nothing to say, the county magistrate also closed his mouth, and Shan Youwei was tongue-tied. He couldn't believe that Xiang Kang would easily see through his carefully designed trap.Xiang Kang looked at the words, his heart became more and more determined, and he bowed his hands to the county magistrate and said: "But although the signature is fake, I really have to thank all the superiors, thank you."

"Why are you thanking us?" The county magistrate asked curiously.

"If it wasn't for the ingenuity of the superior officials, I really can't find a way to prove my innocence." Xiang Kang said with a smile: "What happened the day before yesterday, because I obeyed the laws of the Great Qin Dynasty, I rescued the man who seemed to be robbed by bandits. Sir, I unintentionally interfered with the errands of the neighboring county’s pavilion, and was misunderstood by the neighboring county’s pavilion. I really couldn’t tell the truth, even if I jumped into the big river (Yellow River), I couldn’t clean it up. But now it’s all right, I can prove my innocence , to prove that what I said is all the truth, so I must thank all the officials for designing this opportunity for me to defend myself, to prove that I have no chance to tell half a lie."

After finishing speaking, Xiang Kang turned to the other members of the Xiang family, and said with a smile: "Brothers and brothers, thank you all the officials, they don't arrange things like this, even if we talk a hundred times, we won't be able to explain clearly. "

"Thank you, sir, thank you, sir, thank you, sir, for giving us this opportunity." The members of the Xiang family thanked each other, but Xiaxiang County Prime Minister looked at Shan Youwei with a wry smile on his face, and Shan Youwei's face turned black, Not saying a word.

"Hahahahaha!" There was a burst of hearty laughter from the back hall, and then Zhou Zeng, the Xiaxiang County Magistrate who had always admired Xiang Kang very much, walked out slowly, and said with a big laugh: "Mr. Xiang Kang, This officer really admires you, it's really admirable that you can still be so calm when you encounter such a thing."

"I have seen the county magistrate."

The county magistrate and the jailer hurriedly got up to salute, Shan Youwei also stood up and saluted helplessly, but the county magistrate Zhou ignored them, just took the bamboo slip in the prisoner's hand, pointed to the signature of Xiang You on it, and asked Xiang You Kang asked: "Mr. Xiang, where is there any trace of forgery in this signature? How did you see that this signature is fake at a glance? Do you know that even the official didn't find any flaws just now?"

"Hui Xianzun, there is no flaw, it is the biggest flaw." Xiang Kang explained: "The magistrate of Shicai County said that his cousin Xiang You was carried down for medical treatment because he was tortured. Let me ask a person who was injured by torture, How could the written words be so neat? No trembling or disorder? Isn't this the biggest flaw?"

With a soft slap, Xiaxiang County Prime Minister slapped himself on the forehead, and said with a wry smile: "This official is confused, how could I forget such an important thing? I thought I imitated it perfectly, but who knew it was full of flaws? "

"Thank you, superior." Xiang Kang cupped his hands again to thank him, and said with a smile, "If the superior hadn't devised such a trick, I really wouldn't be able to prove my innocence."

The county magistrate smiled bitterly, while the magistrate of Zhou smiled and said to Shan Youwei: "Shan Youwei, can you give up now? My officer has already said that a case cannot be settled without evidence. You insist on designing a confession. Now that Mr. Xiang has passed your test, what else do you have to say?"

"Xianzun, the suspicious gangster who escaped the day before yesterday really looks very similar to that Xiang You!" Shan Youwei said unwillingly: "Yan Jiting under the subordinate officials begged to steal Zhang Ying, and his four pavilion soldiers , can testify!"

"But these young masters all testified that that man doesn't look like Xiang You at all, what do you do?" Zhou County Magistrate asked Shan Youwei speechlessly, and then said: "I still want to The solution is to find the suspicious man first, and then we can talk about it after arresting him."

Shan Youwei closed his mouth helplessly, Zhou County Magistrate waved his hand, and said to the county magistrate: "Can you read the sentence now? What happened in Xiapi County the day before yesterday, these Mr. Xiang really have something to say." Wrong, but they also rescued according to the law, according to the laws of Great Qin, how should we deal with it?"

Knowing that the county magistrate Zhou admired Xiang Kang very much, and he didn't have any evidence to prove that Xiang Kang and others were guilty, the county magistrate could only reply: "Report to the county magistrate, they can be released without charge, or they can be reprimanded in person for their ignorance and misjudgment. good and evil."

"Let's get rid of the reprimand." County Magistrate Zhou said generously: "Mr. Xiang and the others also have good intentions. Besides, we have no way of proving whether the suspicious man who escaped is really guilty, so we simply excused the reprimand. .”

The county magistrate agreed, and then announced in person that Xiang Kang and others were wrongly guilty, released them on the spot, and ordered the release of Xiang You who was temporarily detained elsewhere. You Wei rushed out with a livid face.

"Mr. Xiang, be careful with him." County magistrate Zhou held Xiang Kang's hand, pouted his back towards Shan Youwei, and said in a low voice: "If you really committed something to him, even I will protect you." Not you."

"Thank you county lord." Xiang Kang thanked again. He knew Shan Youwei in his heart, and he was also a little worried that Shan Youwei would vent his anger on the Yu family. However, after thinking about it, Xiang Kang suddenly realized that if Shan Youwei Really driving the Yu family to nowhere is not a bad thing for me...
