Da Song Private Investigator

Chapter 039 There is a precious jade pendant.

When the group of them came to the county government, Bao Zheng was trying a theft case. At this time, the case had already been heard, and Bao Zheng was about to ask the government servant to punish the thief.

Seeing that Bao Zheng gave an order, those government servants were like hungry tigers, they picked up their boards and beat the prisoner's buttocks. For a while, the whole hall was full of screams, which made people frightened.

After the board was finished, Bao Zheng immediately said: "A person who doesn't know how to work hard, but wants to steal and rob to fill his own pocket, this kind of person is the cancer of my Song Dynasty, a parasite, a scourge, and a person who encounters a disease. When it comes to this official, this official will never forgive me lightly, come on, take this person into the prison, and lock him up for seven or eight years."

Bao Zheng wanted to kill the chicken and show it to the monkeys, so as to make those who have the intention of stealing fear, so that they would not dare to steal casually in the future.

It’s just that Bao Zheng did this, but Hua Lang felt very embarrassed. This scene was seen by Zhu Yougui. He dared to admit that he stole Dong Cheng’s account books. If he did, wouldn’t he end up like the prisoner just now? , was beaten half to death, and would spend several years in prison.

There were many spectators standing outside the hall of the county yamen. They saw that Bao Zheng solved the case like a god and showed no mercy to the prisoners. There were bursts of shouts outside, which was very exciting.

But Hua Lang and others brought Zhu Yougui into the hall, Bao Zheng saw that Hua Lang brought a stranger, he was very strange, so he asked, "Who did Brother Hua bring?"

Hualang cupped his hands slightly, and said: "Master Huibao, this person is Zhu Yougui, Boss Zhu from Tianchang County. He was investigating Dong Cheng's account book theft on the next road, and finally found him. After Dong Cheng was killed, Zhu Yougui once went to Dong Cheng’s rice store, he doesn’t buy rice, but he stayed there for a long time, I suspect that Dong Cheng’s account books were stolen by him.”

When Hwarang said this, he used his eyes to hint at Bao Zheng from time to time. Bao Zheng wanted to interrogate Zhu Yougui immediately, but after seeing Hwarang's eyes, he felt very strange, thinking what did Hwarang want to hint at himself?

Looking at it like this, Bao Zheng suddenly understood that Dong Cheng's account books had been stolen, and now he was only suspicious. If Zhu Yougui insisted that he did not steal the account books, who would be able to convict him?

After understanding, Bao Zheng immediately ordered: "Since this case is related to the murder of Dong Cheng, we will wait for a while and wait for my lord to deal with these unjust, false and wrong cases before proceeding to the trial."

Seeing that Bao Zheng understood what he meant, Hwarang immediately bowed his hands and retreated. Zhu Yougui felt strange, but he didn't dare to ask Bao Zheng to interrogate him right away, so he had to wait in the lobby.

At this time, Hua Lang and Wen Meng quietly left the lobby and walked towards the county government prison. After arriving at the county government prison, Hua Lang immediately asked a jailer to bring Madam Dong out. Haggard, her gorgeous face was covered with dirt, but at this moment, she had no time to care about her clothes and appearance.

After seeing Mrs. Dong, Hwarang immediately said: "The next day is to save Mrs. Dong. If Mrs. Dong wants to clear herself of the crime, it is best to answer my question honestly."

When Mrs. Dong heard that Hua Lang said that he was here to save her, her heart was filled with hope, and she said, "I will answer honestly, as long as you can clear me of my crimes."

Hua Lang nodded slightly, and asked, "Has Dong Cheng ever lent Zhu Yougui more than 1000 taels of silver?"

Mrs. Dong was a little shocked when she heard this, and she replied after a long time: "My husband has never told me about this matter. Borrow it!"

Seeing Mrs. Dong like this, Hua Lang laughed secretly. Women are very strict with money. I think Dong Chengcheng is afraid that his wife will object, so he dare not tell Mrs. Dong the truth, lest she force her to ask for debts and lose her man. face.

It's just that if this is the case, then this matter will be a bit difficult to handle. Dong Cheng's wife doesn't know about it, so who would believe that Zhu Yougui married Dong Cheng for more than 1000 taels of silver?

When Hwarang was a little disappointed, Mrs. Dong suddenly said: "Although I don't know about this matter, I often tell my husband that if you lend money to others, you must ask them to write an IOU and take the real thing as collateral, otherwise you will never be able to borrow money." I can’t borrow it. After what you said, I seem to remember. One day, my husband brought back a jade pendant with the word “You Gui” engraved on it. I asked my husband whose jade pendant it was, and my husband said yes. Zhu Yougui’s, he kept it for Zhu Yougui for a few days, I think that’s when Zhu Yougui borrowed the money.”

Mrs. Dong suddenly said this matter, it can be said that the willows are clear, and Hua Lang's mood suddenly became happy, so he asked quickly: "Where is that jade pendant now?"

Madam Dong thought for a while and said, "It should still be in our house. My husband usually puts his things in a box under the bed."

After listening to Mrs. Dong's words, Hua Lang and Wen Meng rushed to Dong Cheng's mansion before they had time to say more. After arriving at Dong Cheng's mansion, they immediately searched the room, and finally found what Mrs. Dong said under the bed. box, and found the jade pendant engraved with the word 'Yougui' in the box.

With this jade pendant, it would be impossible for Zhu Yougui to deny it.

When he took the jade pendant back to the county government office, Hua Lang suddenly thought that even if he took the jade pendant out, Zhu Yougui would not be able to do anything to it. If he said that Dong Cheng stole the jade pendant from him, then he would be the guest. Not only can't do anything about him, I'm afraid Dong Cheng's family will have to pay him something.

With Zhu Yougui's scheming, he must have thought of this.

After slowing down, Hua Lang looked at Wen Meng and said, "This jade pendant can't be taken out yet, otherwise we won't even have the final trump card."

After Wen Meng understood it, she felt emotional in her heart. They couldn't do anything to a little Zhu Yougui. This is really annoying. If in the Jianghu, if anyone is not pleasing to the eye, they will be taught a lesson. So many evidences are needed?

"What do you want to do?" After a long time, Wen Mengcai looked at Hwarang and asked.

Hwarang didn't know for a while, so he could only take one step at a time.

When he returned to the lobby again, Bao Zheng had resolved many cases and was resting in the back office, while Zhu Yougui was watched by two yamen servants, and he was still staying in the lobby. Yin Wucuo and Hua Wan'er accompanied Bao Zheng .

After seeing Bao Zheng and the others, Hwarang told Bao Zheng what he got. After hearing what Hwarang said, Bao Zheng also felt that he couldn't just take out the jade pendant, otherwise Zhu Yougui insisted that it was Dong Cheng who stole him. Then it would be difficult for them to punish Zhu Yougui again.
