chivalrous cat and righteous mouse

Chapter 22

Generally, if there is a big case that is difficult to solve, most of the officials will just find a scapegoat, torture them, force them to plead guilty, and then take the certificate to the superior, and let the real culprit get away with it.

Although the person sitting on top looks darker than other officials, no matter how dark he is, he is still an official. Who stipulates that people who are black-faced will not be black-hearted?

Yang Di was kneeling on his knees thinking wildly, Bao Zheng suddenly said before the case, "Yang Di, tell me everything you know."

Yang Di was so frightened when Huabu Lengzi spoke, he quickly bent down and kowtowed, shouting, "My lord, spare me!"

Bao Zheng was a little speechless, thinking that he was so scary, why didn't he tell the truth, why did he tell him that he needed a guillotine to wait for a reaction, so he was a little at a loss.

Gongsun was sitting at the side at this time, laying out paper and writing down all the clues provided by Yang Di. Unfortunately, he had just dipped the ink and was about to pick up the pen, but he said this. He raised his eyes and looked at Bao Zheng, Seeing that Bao Zheng was staring at the person under the case.

At this time, Zhao Hu, one of the four major lieutenants standing in the room, suddenly spoke up. He smiled, put the knife in his hand on his shoulder, and said carelessly to the trembling human on the ground, "You little man!" It's really interesting, you just open your mouth and shout for mercy, if you don't clarify yourself, how can the adults spare your life."

Ma Han next to him quickly tugged at his sleeve, motioning him to restrain himself in front of adults.Zhang Long on the opposite side gave him an appreciative look, and said in his heart, what the fourth child said was on point, and this was the first time he had worked with him for so long, it was not easy!

After hearing Zhao Hu's words, Yang Di realized that he had gone too far, so he kowtowed again before getting up straight, stammering and saying to Bao Zheng, "I... for a while... I don't know where to start, Or... please ask the adults." Yang Di wiped the sweat from his head with his sleeve, took a deep breath, and put on a desperate expression.

Bao Zheng took a deep look at him, and then said, "Get up and answer." Yang Di got up obediently, and Bao Zheng said again, "Why are you lying in ambush in the ruined temple? How did you have Wuling? Why did you stop us from opening it?" organ?"

Yang Di thought for a while and replied, "I was entrusted by someone to guard around the ruined temple so that no one could discover the secret of the Great Buddha, let alone enter the secret path of the Great Buddha. As for that Wuling, it was also the trustee." For me, he asked me to hand over the bead to someone after finishing the work for him, he didn’t say who to give it to, only that I will know when the time is right.”

Bao Zheng nodded and said again, "Who instigated you to do things for him? What benefits did he give you?"

"I don't know him, and I don't know his last name. I only know that he is suffering from a serious disease, his lower body is paralyzed, and he looks ugly, but he seems to know medical skills, and he can also disguise himself. As for the benefits... I will not hide it from you, sir You, that man redeemed me and gave me a large sum of money." Yang Di thought carefully and answered Bao Zheng's question properly.

"Redemption? Then you are... hiss!" Zhao Hu couldn't help but blurted out, but Ma Han stepped on his foot forcefully.

Yang Di's lips trembled, and then he lowered his eyes and revealed a bitter smile, "I... I was originally a young lady in Qingfeng Building, and I was sold into the building by my uncle."

Zhan Zhao has been listening quietly beside Bao Zheng, and finally couldn't bear it when he heard this, he frowned, gritted his teeth and said, "What a cruel uncle!"

Yang Di twitched the corners of his mouth, "My family is poor, something happened to my uncle's family, and my family couldn't afford to help, so he sold me to Qingfeng Tower, where I suffered so much humiliation and wanted to escape. But every time they caught me back, they tied me up, beat me, and forced me to pick up customers...But, but I'm a man! They...how could they let me do that kind of thing..."

Zhan Zhao pursed his lips into a line, and clenched his fists with one hand behind his back.He is used to wandering around the rivers and lakes and being a chivalrous hero. Although he has restrained his behavior since entering the government, he can only hold back the resentment in his heart when he meets no matter how hateful people are, and hand them over to Bao Zheng for conviction according to law.He knew in his heart that Mr. Bao would enforce the law impartially and punish these criminals, otherwise he would not give up the world and join him freely.

At this moment, after hearing what happened to Yang Di, although he sympathized with him, he didn't dare to act too much in front of Bao Zheng, so he gritted his teeth and tried hard to suppress the anger in his heart.He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and let it out slowly.When he opened his eyes again, he heard Bao Zheng ask, "Your uncle sold you to Qingfeng Tower, why didn't your father stop it?"

"My father... My father once had an affair with my uncle's concubine, and my uncle found out, so my uncle has been threatening my family with this excuse. Later, my uncle proposed that as long as I sell me, that matter will be canceled...My father can't wait to kill me that day. If I send it out, how can I stop it?" Yang Di said that he was wronged, and two lines of warm tears flowed from his flowing star pupils.The Yang Di at this moment is completely different from the one who was in the ruined temple just now.

Bao Zheng glanced at Gongsun who was at the side, and saw that he was writing quickly, presumably recording all their conversations just now, he stroked his beard, was silent for a while, and asked again, "The person who redeemed you is hiding in the In that secret passage? You just said that you need a map to enter the secret passage? Where is the map?"

Yang Di raised his arm, touched his nose and tears with his sleeve, calmed down before replying, "He is indeed in a secret passage, and if he wants to go in, he must have a map, otherwise it will be dark and full of traps. In less than two steps, ten thousand arrows will pierce the heart. As for the map...the map is in the county government right now."

"Oh? The picture is in the county government office? Tell me, where is it in the county government office!" Bao Zheng leaned forward slightly, approaching the person in front of him.

"Yes... yes..." Yang Di raised his eyes to look at Zhan Zhao with some guilt, and then said, "The picture is on that little beggar's back!"

Everyone was shocked by this remark.

Gongsun who was sitting on the side taking notes heard this sudden stop and raised his head. He looked at Yang Di and said, "Impossible. His physical student checked and found no map except for bruises."

Yang Di laughed and said, "Those bruises were intentionally beaten to hide people's eyes and ears. Didn't I say that the person who entrusted me to do things knows how to disguise his appearance? He gave me a bottle of medicinal wine and asked me to rub it on the little beggar's back." , the map will appear after wiping it. It’s just that it can only last for a stick of incense, and once the time passes, the map will disappear.”

Tincture

What Yang Di said was so mysterious that everyone was dumbfounded.Gongsun has read many books, and Bao Zheng has repeatedly solved strange cases, but he has never heard of this kind of medicinal wine.Zhan Zhao, on the other hand, quietly lowered his eyes in thought when he heard Yang Di talk about the medicinal wine, without showing any surprise on his face.Why isn't Zhan Zhao surprised?Because when he was wandering in the rivers and lakes, he had personally seen a kind of medicinal wine that was very similar to what Yang Di said.

At that time, he was just about to turn 17 years old. His master sent him a letter from thousands of miles, saying that he wanted to give him a treasure as a gift, but unfortunately there were still some things in hand and he couldn't get away, so he was told to go away for a while. Going to Lushan Mountain, I figured that when he arrived at Lushan Mountain, his master would almost go back.

The master has an order, and the disciple has to obey.He picked a good horse, galloped the horse, and ran day and night for three days and three nights. He arrived in the woods only half a day away from the foot of Lushan Mountain. He calculated that there was still some time left, so he got off the horse and tied the horse. On one tree, I ran to another tree to take a rest.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, he vaguely heard three or four people walking cautiously not far away, paying attention to the movement around them as they walked.Seeing their sneaky looks, Zhan Zhao guessed that they might not be good people, so he squatted on the tree, concealed his aura, and paid attention to their every move.

Among those people was a fat man with a fat body. Zhan Zhao found that the hair, eyebrows and beard of this fat man were all red, so he couldn't help but pay more attention to him.

After a few steps into the depths of the forest, they saw Zhan Zhao's horse tied there. The fat man with the red beard circled the horse several times, and looked around for a long time. He saw that no one was pulling a thin man next to him. The man who looked like Ma Gan whispered, "Someone probably forgot this horse here. I think this horse is of good character, and it would be a waste to tie it left and right here. We might as well take it back. The leader will be happy to see it. "

The skinny man's eyes were originally very small, but after hearing what the fat man with the red beard said, he tried to open his eyes wide, but they were not as big as ordinary people's eyes.He looked at the horse and then at the fat man, a little moved and a little guilty, fearing that the owner of the horse would get into trouble if he came back and found the horse lost and reported it to the government.

Seeing the thin man's appearance, the fat man knew that he was afraid, so he moved closer to the thin man, pouted, and said, "If you hesitate any longer, others will take advantage of it, let alone a BMW, even horse dung will not be picked up." You hesitate on your own! I don’t care about you anymore!” The fat man with the red beard finished speaking, patted his buttocks, and ran off towards Zhan Zhao’s horse.

The thin man saw that the fat man went straight to the horse, he didn't hesitate immediately, he thought to himself, there probably wouldn't be anyone coming and going in this small grove, even if they came, they probably passed by on their way.

Besides, they picked up the horse here, so it can't be considered stolen.Even if the owner is found, he can't prove that the horse is his!Left and right can't call him a horse, so let the horse promise him!Thinking of this, the thin man was not so guilty anymore, he happily followed behind the fat man, watched him untie the horse's reins, pulled the horse and walked a few steps forward.

Zhan Zhao watched from the tree, feeling angry in his heart, saying that you
