Chapter 5 Interrogation of bullies

☆, trial bully

The Dingyuan County Government's grievance drum rang, which immediately attracted many Dingyuan County residents. It turned out that Zhan Zhao, in order to test the drum, caught the bully in Dingyuan County, Pi Xiong, to the county government gate, and rang the county government gate. The people in Dingyuan County were very curious about who would have the courage to sue that bully Bear.

After a while, Fang Shen came out from the county government office and asked, "Who is beating the drums to appeal for grievances?" Zhan Zhao replied, "It's me." Fang Shen turned his head to look at the bear and said, "Second Lord Pi. "Fang Shen's eyes were full of doubts, and Zhan Zhao said to the other party: "He is the defendant I brought, not here to catch up with you, whether Mr. Bao will be promoted or not." Fang Shen replied: "I will go in right away. Send a message, please wait a moment." Zhan Zhao nodded.

In the back hall of the county government office, Fang Shen sent a message to Bao Zheng, and Bao Zheng asked Fang Shen, "Who is that fur bear? How can you be so taboo?" Fang Shen didn't answer, but looked at Lu Xiancheng.Lu Xiancheng said: "Pi Xiong can be regarded as a tyrant in Dingyuan County. He is domineering on weekdays. In Yurou Township, I don't know how many people have been bullied by him." Bao Zheng slapped his chair and stood up, saying: "Lord Lu, you are an official of the imperial court, the county magistrate of Dingyuan County, how could you say such unbearable words. Since that bear is a local bully, can't the county government find out his crimes and prosecute him according to law?" County Lu Cheng replied: "My lord, although I am the county magistrate, the magistrate is still in charge of the county government. None of the previous magistrates dared to touch him, and the lower officials are powerless. Please learn from me." Bao Zheng said: "My lord Lu, I don't think you are an incompetent official, an incompetent official, or an incompetent official in this county. That bear must have something to rely on, so he dared to do such evil and reckless acts. Tell this county to listen to you." Lu County Chancellor: "Master Hui In fact, Pixiong himself has no fame or fame. But when his father was alive, he was a high-ranking official in the court, and in today's court, there are still many old acquaintances and a very wide network of contacts." Bao Zhenghao He said indifferently: "Don't say that the bear's father has passed away. Even if he is still in power, how can he allow his son to act recklessly? As long as he violates the laws of the country, even the relatives of the emperor and the county will punish him according to the law. Fang Shen , order to ascend to the hall."

Bao Zheng sat on the high hall, slapped the gavel, and passed the drum to those who complained of grievances to enter the hall. Of course, Haoyue also acted as Bao Zheng's guard in the hall, standing on Bao Zheng's left side.Zhan Zhao brought the fur bear to the hall, unexpectedly, the fur bear changed from showing weakness when he was caught, and shouted: "Hmph, you are so brave, you dare to drag the master from home to here, hurry up and give it to me!" Take it." Haoyue laughed secretly when she saw the fur bear like this, she has never seen such a fearless bear, so it's time to make our Master Bao very angry, hehe.But when Zhan Zhao saw me, a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes. I think it was because he wondered why I followed Bao Zheng.

Seeing the fur bears arguing to win it in the hall, they almost rushed to the high hall.So Bao Zheng slapped the gavel and shouted: "Presumptuous, you will not be allowed to be arrogant in the county court." But Pixiong said: "You are the new magistrate Bao of Dingyuan County, it seems that you are still I don't know who I am." But Bao Zheng pretended to be confused and said, "This county doesn't recognize you, so you should report your name." But the fur bear didn't know how to restrain himself, and said loudly: "Then listen carefully, My father is called Pi Xiong, and when my father was still alive, he was a second-rank official. Hey, what are you doing, quickly take him down for me." After finishing speaking, Pi Xiong was secretly happy, thinking that Bao Zheng was afraid. over him.Unexpectedly, Bao Zheng slapped the stunned wood and said: "This county is an official ordered by the imperial court, and the seventh-rank magistrate of Dingyuan County. You are just a commoner. If you keep shouting like this, don't blame this county for the crime of roaring the court." Serve with the cane.”

The gavel gave frightened Leather Bear, so he knew he should restrain himself.At this time Zhan Zhao said: "That's right, Mr. Bao is indeed different from other officials, it seems that I bet the fur bear in the right place." Bao Zheng said: "So it was you, what dispute did you have with that fur bear? Sue him again." But Zhan Zhao replied unexpectedly: "I don't know him, I only know that this person oppresses the people and does a lot of evil. The people of Yuan County stated his crimes, and the leader has already signed his signature. Master Bao, please take a look." Haoyue walked to Zhan Zhao's side, took the certificate in Zhan Zhao's hand, and glanced at it intentionally or unintentionally. Zhan Zhao.

Haoyue took the certificate and handed it to Bao Zheng. Bao Zheng was furious when he saw the crimes, and he slapped the gavel: "Bold bear, since your father's previous meritorious service was in the court, you should be cautious in your words and deeds, and protect his reputation. Who knows that you have committed so many crimes by relying on his remaining power. Once the county finds out the truth, you will not be spared. Come and put Pixiong in prison. After all the witnesses testify correctly, he will be promoted immediately Inquiry and sentencing." Fang County Wei: "Yes." Zhan Zhao looked at the fur bear who was being detained and said to Bao Zheng, "Master Bao's strict law enforcement is indeed admirable." Bao Zheng: "You haven't told the county what you are. People." Zhan Zhao: "My surname is Zhan Zhao, and my name is Xiong Fei."

In the back hall of the county government, Zhan Zhao was invited by Bao Zheng to the back hall of the county government. At this time, there was no one in the back hall of the county government. When Zhan Zhao and Bao Zheng arrived in the back hall, only Haoyue and Bao Xing were there.Seeing Zhan Zhao, Bao Xing said, "So you are Nan Xia Zhan Zhao. My lord, Nan Xia is well-known in the Jianghu. He is a chivalrous hero, and his martial arts are so powerful that even the common people admire him! A chivalry can be compared with that." Zhan Zhao laughed, "Butler Bao, you are flattering me too much. In Master Bao's eyes, Zhan Zhao is nothing more than a gangster who does whatever he wants, and that Ying Xia is the real chivalry." , The chivalrous deeds he did have never left a name, only know that after he has done chivalrous deeds, there will always be a golden crescent moon mark."

Bao Zheng said in embarrassment: "Forgive me for being ignorant of the Jianghu affairs in this county, but everyone is talking about Zhan Yishi's actions in the past. Today, the county has witnessed chivalrous deeds with its own eyes, which shows that Zhan Yishi is indeed worthy of the name Yes, he is heroic, brave and outstanding, but who is that Ying Xia." Zhan Zhao shook his head: "Zhan Zhao doesn't know either, it is said that very few people have seen him, and the reason why he is called Ying Xia by people in the Jianghu is precisely because he has extremely powerful shots. Hurry up, just like a shadow. But Mr. Bao can stay in Dingyuan County, it is indeed a blessing for the people of Dingyuan County." Bao Zheng said: "I am ashamed, the people have suffered a lot from that bear for a long time, the county government It is hard to shirk the blame, the county is only doing its duty a little bit. And the outcry was Yan Haoyue's idea." After Bao Zheng finished speaking, he pointed at Haoyue with his finger.

Zhan Zhao looked at Haoyue and said, "It turned out to be Brother Haoyue's idea, not bad." Haoyue said, "I dare not, Nan Xia Zhanzhao's name is like thunder. I am so lucky to see you today." Zhan Zhao said again Then he said: "Brother Haoyue is dressed like a man from the Jianghu, and his martial arts is not bad, why does he follow Master Bao?" Haoyue looked at Zhan Zhao and smiled: "Yes, I am from the Jianghu. You still have some fists and kicks in your hands, as for why you follow Master Bao, you will know later, hehe." Yan Haoyue thought in her heart: "Zhan Zhao, you will follow Master Bao soon, and you will also attract a mouse. Trouble, hehe. '

After Zhan Zhao left, Bao Zheng began to investigate Pi Xiong's case, verified the crimes brought by Zhan Zhao one by one, confirmed Pi Xiong's criminal evidence and sentenced Pi Xiong.Let the people in Dingyuan County vent their anger, and make them believe that there are still good officials in this world.

The author has something to say:

☆, Wrong Soul Liu Shichang

On the streets of Dingyuan County, the sound of hawking can be heard everywhere. Ding Liu got a batch of clay pots and jars from Zhao Da, and set up a stall on the street to sell them, and the business was pretty good.Zhang Biegu broke his own footbasin a few days ago, and saw that Ding Liu's earthen basin business was doing well.

"Oh, Ding Liu, when did you set up a stall here to sell pots and jars?" Zhang Biegu asked Ding Liu curiously, and looked around.

"Hey, it's Uncle Zhang. I also got this batch of goods from Mr. Zhao, so I came to set up a stall. He gave me all the clay pots and jars of a kiln, and I took advantage of it." Ding Liu Speaking of this, he couldn't hide his joy.

"Is Zhao Da crazy? He has never let others take advantage of him, and he has fallen into the trap of money." Zhang Biegu looked in disbelief, then Zhao Da would give Ding Liu an advantage.

"Then Zhao Da is not crazy, but he got rich. I don't know when he got rich, and now he doesn't even burn the kilns. These two live happily, hehe." Ding Liu envied Zhao Dana very much The couple lived a good life.

"Oh, my footbasin was broken a few days ago, and I just bought one today. Ding Liu, you can help me choose one." Zhang Biegu looked at Ding Liu's clay pots, not knowing what to do. which one to pick.So I asked Ding Liu to help him choose a clay pot.

"Okay, Mr. Zhang, wait a moment, I'll show you." Ding Liu happily helped Zhang Biegu carry the earthen basin, and finally jumped to a shiny black black basin and gave it to Zhang Biegu: "This How about the black basin?"

"Well, this black basin always feels unclean." Zhang Biegu was reluctant.

"Oh, anyway, you are washing your feet and not serving soup." Ding Liu held up the black basin and handed it to Zhang Biegu.

"Well, you're right, well, this is the black basin." After Zhang Biegu finished speaking, he paid the money to Ding Liu, and took the black basin home.

"In winter, warm your feet with hot water comfortably." Zhang Biegu said to himself while adding hot water to the black basin.

Zhang Biegu came to the bed and soaked his feet in the black basin, when a voice suddenly appeared: "Oh, it stinks..." At this time, the water in the black basin turned blood red, and a picture appeared. The man's face made Zhang Biegu run out of the house in a panic.Unexpectedly, he ran to the door, but he couldn't open the door no matter what, and he was so frightened that he collapsed on the ground.

"You are a ghost..." Zhang Biegu pointed at the black basin in horror.

"That's right, I'm a ghost, and I'm an unjustly dead ghost." The black basin said.

"Didn't you say that the injustice has its head and the debt has its owner? Why did you go to find me when you went to find your murderer?" Zhang Biegu was even more terrified.

"I want you to take me to the county government to seek justice from Mr. Bao."

"No, I'm not, I'm not going, I'm not going." Zhang Biegu trembled all over.

"If you don't go, I will follow you and trouble you for the rest of my life. I will never let you go and let you never have peace." Wu Pen's vicious tone reached Zhang Biegu's heart.

In the end, Zhang Biegu was forced to have no choice but to take the black basin to the county government to beat the drums to appeal for grievances. Zhang Biegu held the black basin and talked to it along the way, making the people around Zhang Biegu think he was a lunatic. It made Zhang Biegu very depressed, because only he could hear Wu Pen talking.

At this time, in the back hall of the county government, Bao Zheng received a document from the imperial court, saying that the three-year period had come, the county magistrate of Dingyuan County would arrive soon, and Bao Zheng would also rush to Duanzhou to serve as magistrate, so there was no time to say anything What, I heard the sound of the drum of grievances, and Bao Zheng had to be promoted first.

"Fang Shen, send an order to extend the hall."

"Yes."

"Haoyue, you also go with me."

"Yes, my lord."

Bao Zheng sat in the courtroom and slapped the gavel: "Bring those who beat the drums to the court."

After a while Zhang Biegu was brought to the court.

"Caomin Zhang and Zhang Biegu kowtowed to Lord Qingtianbao." Zhang Biegu said in a panic.

"Zhang Biegu, you come to the county government to beat the drum of injustice, do you want to sue?"

"Yes, no, yes, yes."

"Don't panic, whether it is true or not, you can speak slowly."

"I beat the drum, but it wasn't me who sued."

"Oh, why didn't the person who asked you to beat the drums go to court with you?"

"He, he is here, here he is." Zhang Biegu held up the black basin to Bao Zheng.And everyone in the courtroom felt baffled, because they didn't see anyone, they saw Zhang Biegu holding a black basin, and everyone in the courtroom didn't understand what it meant.But Haoyue understood Zhang Biegu's meaning, that Zhang Biegu was haunted by wronged souls, because Haoyue felt a heavy yin energy in the black basin in Zhang Biegu's hand, but she couldn't feel it. ghost.It must have been blocked by the door god in front of the county yamen. It seems that I can only talk to the adults after going to court, so Zhang Biegu came in vain this time, because the ghost did not follow Zhang Biegu in.

Bao Zheng watched the voices of the yamen servants above the court hall, so he slapped the gavel: "Quiet." The hall immediately became quiet.

"You mean it's this black basin that you want to sue."

"Yes, my lord, Basin, Lord Bao is above the court, you can talk to him if you have something to say! Basin, talk to him, talk to him. Oh, Basin, I brought you here, why don't you speak?"

"My lord, he asked me to bridge this drum. Just now he was outside and kept talking to me! Why do you think he is silent now?"

"Zhang Biegu, this county wants to ask you a few words."

"Caomin is listening."

"You have a wife and family."

"No, I'm just a lonely old man."

"Then you have acquaintances."

"Yes, Old Wang who sells cooking cakes on Qian-Qian Street, we played a few games of chess last spring."

"Well, as we get older and have no relatives, it is inevitable to think wildly. We need to talk to more people to relieve the boredom in our hearts. Let's go back!"

"Yes." Zhang Biegu walked out of the county office without saying a word.

After Zhang Biegu left, Haoyue asked Bao Zheng to speak alone in the back hall. "My lord, that black basin is strange. At that time, I saw that black basin was covered with a strong layer of resentment. It seems that Wupen's revenge is true, and the wronged soul must have died a terrible death. As for the wronged soul who did not show up, I think it's because the door god in front of the county government didn't let the ghost come in at all, so he didn't show up in the hall. I think that Biegu will come again, and that Biegu may ask for something at that time, and I hope your lord If you can agree, then you can avenge the wronged soul of the black basin." Haoyue frowned, still thinking about the wronged soul of the black basin.

"Haoyue, are you sure?"

"My lord, I am sure."

"If it is really a wronged soul, the county will definitely avenge the wronged soul."

"Fang Shen, pass down the order. If that Zhang Biegu comes to beat the drum again to complain about his grievances, come and notify the county." Bao Zheng ordered Fang Shen outside the door.

"Yes."

In the invisible place of Dingyuan County Street, Zhang Biegu complained that Wupen was unkind and did not show up in the court, which made him embarrassed in front of Mr. Bao.

"Let me tell you about you. You were the one who asked me to take you to see Mr. Bao. You were the one who refused to speak up in the courtroom. Everyone had to treat me as a lunatic."

"You can't blame me. It was because the door god at the entrance of the county government office blocked me just now, so I didn't go in at all." After hearing this, Zhang Biegu looked back quietly at the entrance of the county government office, but saw nothing.

"Don't look, you are a living person, how can you see it?"

"Then I can't see it. The door god won't let you in. What can I do?"

"Master Bao is the head of a county in Dingyuan County. As long as he personally writes a release note and puts it on the basin, the door god will let me in."

Zhang Biegu threw the basin on the ground: "You, you, the more you talk, the more mysterious you are. If Mr. Bao hears you say such a thing, I will definitely be punished."

"No, Mr. Bao is an upright official, he will listen to you."

"No, no." Zhang Biegu shook his head hastily.

"Oh, you're a good person to the end, I beg you, Father Zhang."

"Few people call me Daddy!" Zhang Biegu squatted down.

"Father, as long as you let me sue Master Bao, I can call you anything."

"Looking at you like this, you must have died a miserable death. I said at this time, whoever will help you if I don't help you!"

"Thank you, Dad."

"Don't thank me in a hurry. If Mr. Bao doesn't listen to me or yours, then don't rely on me!"

"Yes, yes, father, you go!"

So Zhang Biegu brought the black basin to the gate of the county government office, holding the drum stick in one hand and the black basin in the other, and was about to beat the drum for grievances again.In the end, he was stopped by a yamen servant guarding the county yamen.It happened that Fang Shen came out from the county office and saw Zhang Biegu, and said, "Hey, why are you here again?"

"This is going to happen, no matter what, I have to ask the official for help..."

In the back hall of the county government office, Fang Shen conveyed Zhang Biegu's original words to Bao Zheng.

"Oh, he asked the county to write a note and let it go."

"Yes. I think it's absurd to be humble, but you have told me, sir, that you should try your best to be patient with the common people who come to the county government, so..."

Bao Xing on the side said: "He is an old lunatic at all, master, just ignore him." And Lu Xiancheng next to him also said: "The lower officials also think that Zhang Bie's ancient costume is playing tricks and playing tricks. It's just a joke. If the adults believe it, it will appear that the county government has mistakenly believed in ghosts and gods, I'm afraid it's inappropriate!" Haoyue smiled at the side and shook her head.

"My lord, just look at that Zhang Biegu is old and helpless, so it's okay to help him. My lord has nothing to worry about now, so it's okay to just chat with Zhang Biegu. Anyway, that Biegu is nothing. malicious."

"Well then, don't say anything, why don't you just follow what he said and treat it like a show." Bao Zheng smiled, and everyone could only obey.

So Zhang Biegu put the release note on the basin and entered the back hall of the county government. "Zhang Biegu, this county has already fulfilled your request, and we can let your black basin open its mouth to avenge its grievances."

"Basin, talk to me. Basin, talk to me! I said, Basin, stop playing tricks on me and talk quickly. Mr. Bao, he was talking to me in the courtyard just now."

"Zhang Biegu, according to common sense, this black basin is a dead thing, how can it speak? This county has seen you repeatedly insisting that it can speak, so I let you try and try again. Now you should know that it is just you Listening to delusions instead of facts, you'd better go home. If you still believe that this black pot can speak people's words, how about coming to this county." Zhang Biegu only nodded and left the county office.

Zhang Bie went out of the county office, came to an inconspicuous place, and threw the black basin to the ground.

"Ouch, why did you throw me like that."

"It's easy to throw you. I should find a big hammer and smash you into pieces. I think you are just trying to make things difficult for me. Hmph, what did you say first that the gatekeeper won't let you in? You have written the release note, you can go in, why you have become a dumb basin again in the hall, I understand, you have to kill me to be at ease."

"I'm sorry, Dad, I have a reason."

In the back hall of the county government office, Haoyue and Bao Zheng were whispering. "My lord, that Zhang Biegu will definitely come again, because just now I sensed that the ghost of the black basin came in, but because the ghost was naked and had no face to see your lord, that's why he didn't show up. I think this time the ghost I will ask Zhang Biegu to buy him a set of paper-made clothes from the birthday material shop and burn them for him, and then I will go to the hall again to avenge my grievances."

"Oh, it seems that this Wupen ghost still knows etiquette. Well, I want to see what this Wupen ghost looks like and what kind of grievances he has."

Zhang Biegu, outside the county government office, burned paper-wrapped clothes for the ghost of Wupen. "Thank you dad, we can go."

"Okay, I hope you won't show up this time."

Fang Shen, who was at the gate of the county yamen, saw Zhang Biegu coming again and said, "Zhang Biegu, you don't need to knock any more, just go in." Zhang Biegu smiled dryly, "The official is waiting for me here? "

"Hey, I said you can't get in."

"Ah, go, go."

In the back hall of the county government office, "Lord Bao, here I come again, Master Bao." Zhang Biegu handed the black basin to Bao Zheng, and saw the crescent moon on Bao Zheng's forehead instantly lit up, but soon disappeared. When it was bright, no one saw it, only Haoyue saw it. "This lord really has the ability to examine yang by day and yin by night." Haoyue thought to herself.

"Wait a minute." Bao Zheng stopped when he saw that Zhang Biegu was about to kneel down.

"Master Bao, Wupen will definitely be able to talk this time."

"I believe the same is true in this county. You all retreat, and Haoyue stays. This county wants to talk to this black basin. Bao Xing, you also go down, close the door of the hall, and no one is allowed to peek outside."

"Yes, close the door."

"The ghost of Wupen, you can show up now." I only felt a strange wind blowing, and a ghost appeared in the Wupen.

"Master Bao, you can really see me."

"This county has been able to see ghost souls that ordinary people can't see since childhood, and Haoyue around this county can also see you, so I let him stay. It's just that it involves strange powers and chaos, so this county doesn't have any ghosts. I told others that Haoyue was able to see these things since she was a child." Haoyue nodded.

"So that's the way it is. Master Bao, I was wronged."

"Don't get excited, report your name, and tell the county about your grievances in detail."

"My name is Liu Shichang, and I'm from Haozhou. My family runs a pearl and jade business. Who knew that I originally planned to stay in Dingyuan County, but I missed Sutou because the city gate was closed."

"It's normal to close the city gates at night, and where are you going to stay?"

"There is a tile kiln with lights on outside the city gate. I wanted to borrow it for one night, but I ended up on the road to death in vain. Then Zhao Dajia offered me to spend the night at his house, and the husband and wife warmly greeted me for dinner. , I just met kind-hearted people, but who knew that their purpose was actually for my carry-on bag. Zhao Da used to make a living by firing pots, and he burned my bones to ashes and mixed them with clay to make pots. Destroy the corpse and wipe out the traces. It was not until Zhang Biegu bought me home that someone finally heard my voice."

"You have a grievous soul attached to this black basin, so you can't be reincarnated. As for that Biegu, maybe it has some relationship with you in the previous life, so it can exchange information with you."

"Lord Bao, I have died unjustly. I beg Lord Bao to punish Mr. and Mrs. Zhao for their crimes and avenge me."

"You still have relatives in Haozhou."

"Yes, I have a wife and children, but how do they know that I have been murdered and become a ghost?"

"Okay, tell the county about the situation at home in detail, and explain the money that Zhao Da took away. The county will find a way to solve the case and avenge you."

"Xie Qingtian, Mr. Bao."

"Haoyue, take Mr. and Mrs. Zhao back to the county government first, and then make a decision."

"Yes, my lord, I'll go right away."

Bao Zheng immediately issued an order to arrest Mr. and Mrs. Zhao. Not long after, Haoyue arrested Mr. and Mrs. Zhao and interrogated them severely, but did not ask for a confession.Haoyue had no choice but to report this matter to Bao Zheng. Bao Zheng pondered for a while, and then ordered: "Take Zhao Da down first, and don't allow him to meet his wife, Wang Shi. By the way, bring Wang Shi along."

"Mr. Wang, it was all your idea that your husband confessed to frame Liu Shichang." Bao Zheng tricked Wang into thinking that she was betrayed by her husband Zhao Da.

Sure enough, after hearing this, Mrs. Wang hated her husband, so she confessed how Zhao Da killed Liu Shichang, and made a pledge and put her fingerprints on it.In the courtroom the next day, Bao Zheng slapped the gavel: "Master Zhao, hurry up and bring the crime of murdering the Haozhou businessman and Liu Shichang to the truth. Your wife has already been arrested and charged."

Who knows that Zhao Da is also a ruthless person, he refuses to confess life or death.So Bao Zheng put down the "ruthless medicine" and said: "If this county is not fully sure, how can you arrest the two of you and bring them to justice? You make a living by firing tile kilns, how can you get rich overnight, and give away all your money?" All the pots and pots have been cleared, and the life has become very luxurious. It is obvious that you have gained ill-gotten gains. Moreover, the county also found some gold, silver, pearls and jade from your house, as well as the bank gold sent by the Haozhou government. The shopping list is exactly the same, and this list is exactly the same as the items in the luggage that the missing Liu Shichang carried with him, so it can’t be proved that it is evidence that you and your husband murdered Liu Shichang for money.”

"My lord, as you said, we murdered Liu Shichang, but what about the corpse." Zhao Daru said.

Bao Zheng slapped the gavel angrily: "You still dare to mention this matter, the two of you are ruthless in order to destroy his body and traces, and burn his body to ashes to make a clay pot, right or wrong, that picture of Bie Gu He came to sue with a black basin in his arms. Although the county has never seen the wronged soul he claimed, he found that the black basin is not broken. If it is not made of clay mixed with human bones, how can it be so hard and durable. Now you The crimes of the two have been exposed, but they still refuse to plead guilty, so aren't you afraid that Liu Shichang's ghost will take revenge and claim your life?"

Bao Zheng patted the gavel again, everyone in the hall suddenly felt a gust of wind blowing by, and Mr. and Mrs. Zhao also looked at each other, unexpectedly, Mr. Zhao and Mrs. Zhao each yelled, they were kneeling together , After this loud cry, they were quite frightened.Everyone in the hall felt very strange, only Bao Zheng and Haoyue knew what was going on.It turned out that Zhao and his wife saw Liu Shichang, the wronged soul, so they screamed again and again.In the end, Mr. and Mrs. Zhao had to plead guilty and be sentenced to execution after autumn.Bao Zheng's decision on the Ming Wupen case is well-known far and wide, and the common people are saying that he is upright and selfless, and he solves cases like a god, and there are rumors that he judges Yin at night and Yang at day...

On the streets of Dingyuan County, the sound of hawking can be heard everywhere. Ding Liu got a batch of clay pots and jars from Zhao Da, and set up a stall on the street to sell them, and the business was pretty good.Zhang Biegu broke his own footbasin a few days ago, and saw that Ding Liu's earthen basin business was doing well.

"Oh, Ding Liu, when did you set up a stall here to sell pots and jars?" Zhang Biegu asked Ding Liu curiously, and looked around.

"Hey, it's Uncle Zhang. I also got this batch of goods from Mr. Zhao, so I came to set up a stall. He gave me all the clay pots and jars of a kiln, and I took advantage of it." Ding Liu Speaking of this, he couldn't hide his joy.

"Is Zhao Da crazy? He has never let others take advantage of him, and he has fallen into the trap of money." Zhang Biegu looked in disbelief, then Zhao Da would give Ding Liu an advantage.

"Then Zhao Da is not crazy, but he got rich. I don't know when he got rich, and now he doesn't even burn the kilns. These two live happily, hehe." Ding Liu envied Zhao Dana very much The couple lived a good life.

"Oh, my footbasin was broken a few days ago, and I just bought one today. Ding Liu, you can help me choose one." Zhang Biegu looked at Ding Liu's clay pots, not knowing what to do. which one to pick.So I asked Ding Liu to help him choose a clay pot.

"Okay, Mr. Zhang, wait a moment, I'll show you." Ding Liu happily helped Zhang Biegu carry the earthen basin, and finally jumped to a shiny black black basin and gave it to Zhang Biegu: "This How about the black basin?"

"Well, this black basin always feels unclean." Zhang Biegu was reluctant.

"Oh, anyway, you are washing your feet and not serving soup." Ding Liu held up the black basin and handed it to Zhang Biegu.

"Well, you're right, well, this is the black basin." After Zhang Biegu finished speaking, he paid the money to Ding Liu, and took the black basin home.

"In winter, warm your feet with hot water comfortably." Zhang Biegu said to himself while adding hot water to the black basin.

Zhang Biegu came to the bed and soaked his feet in the black basin, when a voice suddenly appeared: "Oh, it stinks..." At this time, the water in the black basin turned blood red, and a picture appeared. The man's face made Zhang Biegu run out of the house in a panic.Unexpectedly, he ran to the door, but he couldn't open the door no matter what, and he was so frightened that he collapsed on the ground.

"You are a ghost..." Zhang Biegu pointed at the black basin in horror.

"That's right, I'm a ghost, and I'm an unjustly dead ghost." The black basin said.

"Didn't you say that the injustice has its head and the debt has its owner? Why did you go to find me when you went to find your murderer?" Zhang Biegu was even more terrified.

"I want you to take me to the county government to seek justice from Mr. Bao."

"No, I'm not, I'm not going, I'm not going." Zhang Biegu trembled all over.

"If you don't go, I will follow you and trouble you for the rest of my life. I will never let you go and let you never have peace." Wu Pen's vicious tone reached Zhang Biegu's heart.

In the end, Zhang Biegu was forced to have no choice but to take the black basin to the county government to beat the drums to appeal for grievances. Zhang Biegu held the black basin and talked to it along the way, making the people around Zhang Biegu think he was a lunatic. It made Zhang Biegu very depressed, because only he could hear Wu Pen talking.

At this time, in the back hall of the county government, Bao Zheng received a document from the imperial court, saying that the three-year period had come, the county magistrate of Dingyuan County would arrive soon, and Bao Zheng would also rush to Duanzhou to serve as magistrate, so there was no time to say anything What, I heard the sound of the drum of grievances, and Bao Zheng had to be promoted first.

"Fang Shen, send an order to extend the hall."

"Yes."

"Haoyue, you also go with me."

"Yes, my lord."

Bao Zheng sat in the courtroom and slapped the gavel: "Bring those who beat the drums to the court."

After a while Zhang Biegu was brought to the court.

"Caomin Zhang and Zhang Biegu kowtowed to Lord Qingtianbao." Zhang Biegu said in a panic.

"Zhang Biegu, you come to the county government to beat the drum of injustice, do you want to sue?"

"Yes, no, yes, yes."

"Don't panic, whether it is true or not, you can speak slowly."

"I beat the drum, but it wasn't me who sued."

"Oh, why didn't the person who asked you to beat the drums go to court with you?"

"He, he is here, here he is." Zhang Biegu held up the black basin to Bao Zheng.And everyone in the courtroom felt baffled, because they didn't see anyone, they saw Zhang Biegu holding a black basin, and everyone in the courtroom didn't understand what it meant.But Haoyue understood Zhang Biegu's meaning, that Zhang Biegu was haunted by wronged souls, because Haoyue felt a heavy yin energy in the black basin in Zhang Biegu's hand, but she couldn't feel it. ghost.It must have been blocked by the door god in front of the county yamen. It seems that I can only talk to the adults after going to court, so Zhang Biegu came in vain this time, because the ghost did not follow Zhang Biegu in.

Bao Zheng watched the voices of the yamen servants above the court hall, so he slapped the gavel: "Quiet." The hall immediately became quiet.

"You mean it's this black basin that you want to sue."

"Yes, my lord, Basin, Lord Bao is above the court, you can talk to him if you have something to say! Basin, talk to him, talk to him. Oh, Basin, I brought you here, why don't you speak?"

"My lord, he asked me to bridge this drum. Just now he was outside and kept talking to me! Why do you think he is silent now?"

"Zhang Biegu, this county wants to ask you a few words."

"Caomin is listening."

"You have a wife and family."

"No, I'm just a lonely old man."

"Then you have acquaintances."

"Yes, Old Wang who sells cooking cakes on Qian-Qian Street, we played a few games of chess last spring."

"Well, as we get older and have no relatives, it is inevitable to think wildly. We need to talk to more people to relieve the boredom in our hearts. Let's go back!"

"Yes." Zhang Biegu walked out of the county office without saying a word.

After Zhang Biegu left, Haoyue asked Bao Zheng to speak alone in the back hall. "My lord, that black basin is strange. At that time, I saw that black basin was covered with a strong layer of resentment. It seems that Wupen's revenge is true, and the wronged soul must have died a terrible death. As for the wronged soul who did not show up, I think it's because the door god in front of the county government didn't let the ghost come in at all, so he didn't show up in the hall. I think that Biegu will come again, and that Biegu may ask for something at that time, and I hope your lord If you can agree, then you can avenge the wronged soul of the black basin." Haoyue frowned, still thinking about the wronged soul of the black basin.

"Haoyue, are you sure?"

"My lord, I am sure."

"If it is really a wronged soul, the county will definitely avenge the wronged soul."

"Fang Shen, pass down the order. If that Zhang Biegu comes to beat the drum again to complain about his grievances, come and notify the county." Bao Zheng ordered Fang Shen outside the door.

"Yes."

In the invisible place of Dingyuan County Street, Zhang Biegu complained that Wupen was unkind and did not show up in the court, which made him embarrassed in front of Mr. Bao.

"Let me tell you about you. You were the one who asked me to take you to see Mr. Bao. You were the one who refused to speak up in the courtroom. Everyone had to treat me as a lunatic."

"You can't blame me, just now it was because of the
