In the courtroom, the government officials brought about ten prisoners one after another. Someone took a quick look and recognized the identities of these people.

"Is this someone from Longjiazhuang? I look a bit like him?"

"Yes, I have seen them go to Long's house before, but I heard that they have not committed any crime. Why are they pretending to be ghosts this time?"

"Who knows? Stop talking and listen to what the county magistrate has to say. We haven't seen Shengtang in many years."

"Who is in the hall? Please name them one by one."

"Sir, the little dragon is big and strong, the little dragon has a big head, and the little dragon is running fast."

The people kneeling below had been interrogated all night. At this moment, they did not dare to hesitate any more and reported their names one by one.

"You have been in the Long family residence for more than half a month. What do you mean, and why do you pretend to be an innocent ghost to scare people?"

In fact, Fu Changfeng had already interrogated these matters clearly last night, but since he was going to court, he naturally had to let the people watching know the reason.

"Back to my lord, the younger ones are also obsessed with money. It was Long Datou who said that he came to Long's house before and accidentally heard Master Long say that they had hidden treasure at home.

This time the Long family was in bad luck and no one was alive. We were planning to come and see if it was true.

But I was worried about being discovered, and even if I found it, I would be in trouble, so I came up with the idea of ​​pretending to be an innocent soul crying, so that if anyone heard the noise, I wouldn't dare to come out.

I never thought that I would be discovered by you as soon as I found the place where the Long family's treasure is hidden. "

Long Dazhuang explained everything clearly and answered everyone's doubts.

"Let me just say, the Long family is really rich, so no wonder it makes these people want to steal, which makes our family not sleep well these days."

"When they said that, I remembered it. It seemed that I heard the sound of digging in the Long family yard at night. I said, it turned out to be this group of people digging."

"We also want to see how much treasure the Long family hides."

The onlookers were also aroused with curiosity and wanted to continue watching.

"How did you do it? Those people said there were innocent souls flying in the sky?"

"Sir, it's a method that Long Datou discovered before. Just use a long pole, tie a rope to the pole, tie the person to the rope, and someone below pulls the rope on the other side to pull the person. Flying in the air.

We used this method to create the illusion of people flying in the air. "

"Come here, bring what they made."

The two government officials carried up what they had made and let people experiment with it. The onlookers finally solved their doubts.

Some people originally thought that the county magistrate deliberately sent someone here to get rid of the innocent souls, but now they all believed it.

"Bring up the treasure they found."

Soon, several large boxes were all carried up, and everyone stretched their necks to see what was going on.

After the government officials opened it, they all exclaimed.

"This box is full of silver. This Long family is really cunning. I don't know what treasures are behind it."

"Look, why are there all rags in there?"

Everyone's eyes instantly moved away, staring at the box.

"These are all fabrics purchased by the Long family before. According to judgment, they are all Shu embroidery and Su embroidery. However, they have been buried under the soil and there are no bees. Now only these rags are left."

"Sir, there are bones in this box!" "Oh, how many people are there? This Long family is so bad. They just kill people and then put them in a box like this. It's too cruel."

Finally, all the boxes were opened. Except for a box of silver worth about 2000 taels and a box of jewelry worth about 3000 taels, the others were either corpses or rotten cloth.

"These bodies still need to be claimed by the entire county. Who else is missing? Now we can only identify them based on their clothes."

"Long Dazhuang and others are private thieves who already belong to the county government. They pretended to be innocent and frightened people. No one was killed at all. I'm going to sentence you and others to hit twenty big boards each and be imprisoned for one year. Do you have any objections?"

"Thank you sir, thank you sir."

After hearing this, several people felt uncomfortable, but fortunately they did not lose their lives, and they all had their signatures stamped on the case.

After the ceremony, the incident was widely publicized by the people who were watching, and even people outside the city heard about it.

afternoon.The county government posted a notice asking people to come and recognize the relatives, and the matter came to an end.

Fu Changfeng returned to the backyard and saw Xichun taking a nap in the house.

"You're back? I didn't even hear the sound."

"It's okay. Go and lie down on the bed. Be careful of catching a cold. You are heavy now, so you can't catch a cold."

Fu Changfeng stepped forward to help her. Because of Xichun's mood changes, Fu Changfeng had someone call a doctor before he knew that Xichun was pregnant.

"It's okay. Fortunately, this child is well-behaved and doesn't have any morning sickness. He just dozes off a lot.

By the way, the ceremony is over?How to say? "

"It's exactly as you guessed, madam. Those people used a pole and rope to make it look like someone was flying in the sky.

They have all admitted it, dug out all their things, and are now fine. "

Thinking that Xichun was pregnant now, Fu Changfeng didn't say anything about the body in the box.

"In those days, just catch them, otherwise it's not good for these people to pretend to be gods and devils and make people panic."

"Well, just take good care of the baby. I'll take care of everything else, so don't worry too much.

The winter in Shaoming County is really cold. My parents said they would take the children over for a visit when spring comes next year, as they were worried about catching wind and cold on the road. "

"That's fine. Once we clear up all the rooms, let your parents come and stay for a few more days. You've been very busy these days."

"It's okay. It's good to do more practical things. Brother Zeng also wrote a letter the day before yesterday, asking me about the situation here. He also has some troublesome things over there. It's hard to do anything!"

"This is true. Being an official is much more difficult than doing business. In business, you only have to consider whether you can make money, but in being an official, you have to consider the difficulties of the people.

By the way, I also read a lot these days. I think it snows heavily in Shaoming County every winter.

Some houses were thatched houses, which were easily crushed by the snow, and many people died.

These are matters related to human lives and affecting political performance, so you should also pay more attention to them. "

"Having my wife here really saves me a lot of trouble. Don't worry, there won't be much trouble next. I will ask people to patrol more and let the village chief look at the houses of other people in the village. If there are any difficulties, let the villagers If someone lends a hand, one can be saved."

The two discussed and discussed everything that needed to be done in Shaoming County recently. Xichun yawned again and again, and Fu Changfeng quickly asked her to lie on the bed and rest.

Fu Changfeng had not rested since last night. He was very sleepy now and fell asleep immediately.

In his dream, Fu Changfeng dreamed that Xichun gave birth to a daughter, and he couldn't suppress the smile on his face.
