Chapter 101
It didn't take long for the yamen servants to escort Mr. Zheng who was shouting for grievances to the county yamen. Seeing this, the people outside the gate gave way one after another, and then kept pointing at Mr. Zheng.

After entering the county yamen, Mr. Zheng, like the prisoner, was escorted by the yamen servants to kneel down on the ground.

Sitting on the high hall, County Magistrate Jia sneered when he saw Mr. Zheng with a distressed face, slapped the gavel in his hand, and said loudly, "Zheng Lao Liu, you are guilty!"

When Mr. Zheng heard this, he immediately explained in a loud voice: "Xiaomin was wronged, my lord listened to this villain's slander, Xiaomin was really wronged!"

Seeing his appearance, County Magistrate Jia was already happy. In the morning, Sun Jin came to report the crime. He had summoned the old man, but because there was no evidence, the little old man became arrogant for a while.

What kind of person is this magistrate Jia? He is the head of the bandits' den. If he hadn't been pulled hard by the master, he would have rushed down to beat him up right then and there.In the end, in desperation, he had to let him go.

Seeing him in such a mess right now, magistrate Jia couldn't help but let out a bad breath, how could he be unhappy?

Hearing his grievances, County Magistrate Jia sneered, and then asked the prisoner kneeling next to him: "Prisoner Zhang Song, do you know this little old man next to him?"

The prisoner replied without thinking: "My lord, the villain naturally knows him."

When Mr. Zheng heard this, he was instantly furious, then he turned around and grabbed the prisoner by the shoulder, and shouted hysterically, "You bastard, how dare you wrong me!"

He also took this opportunity to glance at the prisoner, but because his hair was disheveled and his face was covered with dust, he couldn't see his face clearly for a moment.

The prisoner shook off his hand without even looking at him, then lowered his head and said, "Master, it's time now, so don't make excuses anymore."

For some reason, Mr. Zheng suddenly felt that the prisoner's voice was familiar, but he couldn't allow him to think too much at the moment, and immediately argued: "What master, I have never seen you before, how could it be your master, you stinky Shit, how dare you pour dirty water on me!"

After saying this, Mr. Zheng immediately turned around and yelled loudly to County Magistrate Jia: "Lord Jia, I was really wronged. I beg you to see clearly and give justice to this little old man, my lord!"

At this time, the government servants who stayed in Zheng's house also came back, and the leader was holding a big box in his hand, and said loudly to the county magistrate Jia: "My lord, the stolen money has been collected in Zheng's house." The government found it, a total of 300 taels, not much, not a lot."

When the magistrate Jia heard it, he shouted loudly: "Okay! Open it, let me take a look!"

When the yamen servant heard this, he was not confused, and opened the box directly, only to see several rows of large ingots neatly placed inside, and then, under the direction of the county magistrate Jia, the yamen servant took the box, turned around and let the The people outside the door also saw it clearly.

In an instant, there was an uproar of voices.

"It's really so much silver."

"This old man Zheng really has an unusually close relationship with this thief."

"That's right, if that wasn't the case, how could the prisoner deposit such a large sum of money in his home, how could he rest assured!"

"Could this be Mr. Zheng's money?"

"Fart, based on his family's situation, it would be amazing if he could come up with three or fifty taels of silver. How could there be so much!"

Hearing the discussion among the common people, County Magistrate Jia said coldly to Mr. Zheng, who was kneeling in the hall: "Now that the stolen goods have been obtained together, what else do you have to say!"

When Mr. Zheng saw this, he panicked instantly, and he immediately said: "My lord, my lord, this is not stolen money, this is not stolen money, this is my own money, my lord, you must believe me .”

When County Magistrate Jia heard it, the scene was exactly as his sister had imagined, and then he thought about what the girl had told him, and then he snorted coldly, "Then I want to hear about the source of your money." , your family’s situation, don’t think that I don’t understand, if you can’t explain why today, don’t blame my subordinates for being ruthless!”

"This, this." Hearing the county magistrate Jia's question, Mr. Zheng panicked even more. Normally, he might have come up with a more reasonable explanation, but right now he is in a mess, and he is at a loss. How can he think of it? .

Seeing him faltering and hawing for a long time without saying anything, Magistrate Jia picked up the gavel and slapped it hard, saying: "Now that the matter is up to now, what else do you have to say, old man? This official never thought that you would have contact with the Jiangyang thief, and you are also his master, well, it seems that this official has underestimated you. Come here, put me in the prison, and serve me with great punishment!"

"Yes!"

A group of yamen servants in the hall responded loudly.

When Mr. Zheng saw that they were going to do something, tears of fright came out immediately. He fell on the ground and choked up, saying, "Wait a minute, my lord! Wait a minute, my lord! These 300 taels of silver are really not stolen money, but small The old man’s son-in-law, Sun Jin’s, I admit, I got my son-in-law drunk on purpose, and then tricked him into handing over the silver to me for safekeeping. Didn’t Sun Jin come to report to the officials in the morning? If you don’t believe me, At this time, just send him and ask."

He can only answer in this way now. If he confesses now, the crime is at most just deceiving people for money, and Sun Jin is his own family. If he lets go at that time, there is still a little leeway.But if he doesn't confess again, maybe he will be forcibly accused of being a Jiangyang thief. At that time, he will really be powerless.

The lesser of two evils.

Although this Mr. Zheng was scared to death, but now that the two crimes are so obvious, he still knows how to choose.

Hearing that he was really fooled, County Magistrate Jia secretly smiled, but he didn't show any expression on his face. He snorted coldly and said, "If that's the case, why didn't you admit it when Sun Jin reported the case in the morning?" !"

Mr. Zheng wiped the tears from his face, and then said: "Little old man was greedy for a while, and regretted his mistake. I hope my lord will learn from you, and invite that Sun Jin to confront him, and the truth will naturally come to light."

The people outside the door naturally heard what he said clearly. In fact, when Sun Jin reported the case in the morning, everyone had already seen that this old man Zheng had lived in Pinghe County all his life, who would not know what he was like.Hearing his confession at this moment, they all looked at him with contempt, and kept pointing at him. If it wasn't because this was in the court, someone might have thrown rotten eggs at him at this moment. .

The magistrate Jia, who was sitting in the hall at the moment, smiled brilliantly. This case was finally solved by himself in full view of everyone!
After old man Zheng finished speaking, he saw that the adults in the hall were silent for a long time, so he couldn't help but look up, only to see him smiling non-stop. For some reason, old man Zheng suddenly felt a sense of uneasiness in his heart.

At this time, the prisoner kneeling next to him also laughed. Just when the old man Zheng was surprised, the prisoner suddenly brushed his hair, then wiped the dust on his face with his clothes, turned to old man Zheng and said: "Father-in-law, look, who am I?"

Old man Zheng took a closer look, and immediately leaned back in fright.

This prisoner, if not Sun Jin, who could it be?
"You, you, you." Old man Zheng was so shocked that he couldn't speak for a moment.

Even the people outside the door were dumbfounded at this moment. Didn't they say that the prisoner was Jiang Yang's thief Zhang Song?Now suddenly become Sun Jin?
When everyone didn't understand why, the magistrate Jia laughed several times, then got up directly from the hall and walked in front of old man Zheng, looked at him with a sneer and said, "Old man Zheng, I didn't expect that! Then you cheated out your crime, what else do you have to say now?"

"This is all designed by you!" Old man Zheng was filled with grief and indignation. At this moment, he still didn't understand.

"Then what, what about Skynet?" County magistrate Jia suddenly asked the yamen servant next to him.

The yamen servant lowered his head and snickered, then returned: "Skynet is very sparse and not leaking."

"That's right, it's just that the Skynet is not leaking. Zheng Lao Liu, do you think that without evidence, I can't do anything to you? Haha, come on, put this little old man in prison for me, and wait for him to be punished!"

"Yes!"

At this time, the people outside the county government finally figured out that all of this was just a good show deliberately arranged by the county magistrate Jia. Now, they were all shocked in place.

The county magistrate Jia was nothing more than a bandit in their hearts before, but they didn't expect him to come up with such an ingenious plan and solve such a difficult case without much effort!

In such an instant, the image of magistrate Jia in their hearts was completely overturned. These people seemed to be seeing him for the first time.

At this time, Sun Jin shouted excitedly to him: "Your Excellency is like a god in judging cases, please be worshipped by the little people!"

After he finished speaking, he kowtowed heavily at him directly.

As soon as he took the lead, the people outside the door immediately picked up, shouting loudly non-stop: "Cases are resolved like gods, cases are resolved like gods!"

Where did County Magistrate Jia experience this kind of scene? It has been two years since he came to Pinghe County. Although these people are respectful when facing him, he is not stupid. How could he not know that they actually look down on him? Now seeing them praising him like this, how could County Magistrate Jia not be excited? For some reason, he suddenly felt that his heart was full of pride, and he wanted to shout out to vent his emotions.

When he was elated, he didn't forget to say in his heart: My sister is really smart!
