Han official!

Chapter 82: Fake Book
"what!"

"Let me go quickly!"

"The private sale of horses was all arranged by Jin Shuzuo, and has nothing to do with this official."

Another Jin Shuzuo.

Guo Jie had long learned from Wei Guang that the Jin Shu Zuo of Huainan State had been staying in the market inn of Liushi, and he guessed that this person was probably in collusion with Wan Zimeng to sell horses.

He frowned, thinking that selling horses privately was a very tricky matter.

The Menxia Shuzuo is equivalent to the secretary of the secretariat of the two municipal offices, the Municipal Party Committee Office and the Municipal Government Office. He is at the center of power and connects with the work of a five-member group including municipal officials and the mayor.

The only concern is how many Huainan knights who are good at swordsmanship are brought by Jin Shuzuo.

Once taken action.

We must not let Jin Shuzuo escape.

The thief must be killed in Liushi!
When Tingzuo's wife and son heard the screams from the toilet, they were so frightened that they turned pale and huddled together, trembling constantly.

There is no trace of ferocity at all.

I just hope that Guo Jie, dressed in black clothes, will not attack the mother and son.

"Brother-in-law."

Yi Zong dragged Ting Zuo, who looked like a dead dog, back with great joy. His black clothes had turned even redder. "These are the letters between Jin Shu Zuo and Wan Zimeng. They are hidden in a basket hanging on the mast in the stable. It's very well kept. If he hadn't said it himself, who would have thought such important letters were hidden outside the house?"

He dragged Tingzuo by the collar of his white robe and threw him near the pestle, where he huddled together with his wife and children.

Tingzuo's hair was disheveled, his black cap had slipped off, and he looked terrified. He took deep breaths, gasping for the hard-earned air.

In a trance, Tingzuo almost felt that he could not bear the torture and died at Yi Zong's hands.

There was even a thought that it would be better to die.

Yi Zong actually tortured him with the Qin Dynasty's cruel method of chiseling his head.

If Tingzuo had not revealed where the letter was hidden in time, Yizong would have pierced his head with an iron rod and a tenon.

Tingzuo was like a person who was rescued from drowning and was breathing the air greedily.

Guo Jie took the bloodstained letter and unfolded it to examine it carefully. "These letters only describe ordinary correspondence. They do not involve the illegal trafficking of horses to the Liu clan states. They cannot be counted. We still need other letters to prove that Jin Shuzuo and Wan Zimeng colluded to transport Hexi horses from the border counties to Huainan."

Even the cruel official Zhao Yu was used to presuming guilt.

There should also be a doubt.

There is no doubt that the cruel official Zhao Yu could not arrest people directly.

What's more, it also involves the secretaries of the Huainan State.

"Have you hidden any other letters?"

Yi Zong turned his head away, stared at Ting Zuo and said, "Well, you dare to deceive me and not tell me the truth. I will use the torture of chiseling on you again. I will not chisel it in slowly, but will directly hit the tenon with the iron and gouge it through your head in one go."

The tenon is the tenon in the mortise and tenon joint.

In the mortise and tenon structure, the tenon is convex and the mortise is concave.

Yi Zong carried with him an iron tenon, equipped with an iron scale, so that he could carry out the Qin Dynasty's torture of chiseling people's heads at any time.

"no, do not want"

Ting Zuo's face was filled with fear. "This humble official has never deceived Chief Guo. Selling horses to the Huainan Kingdom is a serious crime. How could Wan Zimeng leave evidence of his crime in this humble official's hands? I'd better take this letter hidden in the basket while Wan Zimeng is away from the flag pavilion. I'll have it as a backup plan in the future, lest Wan Zimeng use the excuse of forced labor to send this humble official to the border and then find a random thief to kill him along the way."

The higher anyone climbs, the more he or she should cherish his or her feathers and wipe out previous stains.

When Wan Zimeng served as the Wei of Ba Ling, he once secretly sold horses to the Huainan State, which was a big stain on his reputation.

Jin Shuzuo could not and did not dare to erase the blame. In order to be promoted, he even had to continue to collude with him.

Tingzuo was different. To the Ba Ling Wei, he was just a minor official in a flag pavilion.

By finding an excuse to impose forced labor, it is easy to erase the knowledge that Wan Zimeng was illegally selling horses.

Only Wan Zimeng and Jin Shuzuo knew about this.

Ting Zuo had to be on guard and secretly took away a letter to threaten Wan Zimeng, who would later become the Ba Ling Wei.

"What can we do?"

Wei Guang glanced at the sun, feeling a little anxious. "It's breakfast time now (8:15-9:00), and there are less than two hours until the guards arrive to deliver the wild rice grass and horse feed. I need to think of a good plan quickly, otherwise, this trip will be in vain, and I won't be able to behead Wan Zimeng, the flag chief of Liushi. Alas, the Wan family of Liushi is quite famous in Chang'an. It would be a pity to miss this opportunity today."

The guards will come to deliver water chestnut and horse feed at noon (11:15-12:00).

Ting Zuo saw Wei Guang's anxious face and was secretly happy, thinking that he finally knew fear and he could escape the disaster.

Who knows.

Wei Guang was indeed scared.

It's not the fear of being discovered.

He was afraid that he would not be able to exterminate the entire Wan family in Liushi.

this.
Ting Zuo was speechless, his heart trembling, and he shrank obediently where he was, not daring to have any disloyal thoughts.

"It doesn't matter."

Guo Jie stared at the frightened Ting Zuo and said with a smile, "Although you and I don't have the correspondence between Wan Zimeng and Jin Shu Zuo, we do have Ting Zuo. He handles many of the official duties of the Chang'an Duting. Go to the side room and find a wooden tablet. Give it to Ting Zuo to write a letter about the illegal horse trading."

Wei Guang, Yi Zong and others suddenly understood.

I thought to myself that my brother’s brain was more useful.

No letter.

There is Tingzuo next to him.

He directly handed Tingzuo a bamboo slip and asked him to write a letter on the spot.

There was evidence that Wan Zimeng colluded with Jin Shuzuo and illegally sold horses.

The suspicion that the cruel official Zhao Yu needed was thus created.

"No!"

Ting Zuo was shocked and said: "Forging letters is a serious crime. I dare not and cannot forge the letters of Wan Zimeng and Jin Shuzuo who are secretly selling horses. I ask that Chief Guo let me go and not let me forge letters."

Regarding the forgery of letters, there are special laws in the Han Dynasty.

The author of the forged book is Cheng Danchun.

In other words, anyone who forged a letter would be tattooed and sent to the city for torture.

As long as Tingzuo forged the letter, he would be transformed from a high-ranking Tingzuo into a prisoner in Chang'an Prison. How could he bear it?

In addition, the Tingzuo family often bullied their neighbors and exploited the shops. Without the official uniform of the official temple Tingzuo, the villagers who had been bullied by their family in the past would definitely retaliate against them severely.

The end was extremely miserable.

"Ah."

Guo Jie sneered, pointed the scabbard of his two-foot-long sword at the concubine's body, and said, "Your son forcibly raped me, resulting in my death. This is a grave crime punishable by beheading and public execution. It's fine if you don't want to forge the letter. I will immediately take your wife and son back to Chang'an and hand them over to Zhang Tang."

Tingzuo's face turned pale.

Guo Jie continued, "When your wife caught your son murdering someone, she didn't report it to the government temple, but instead tried to dig a pit in the courtyard to bury the body. You were wearing official clothing, so you should know what your crime was."

The Han Dynasty law did not simply imprison the parents of the beasts who helped dig the pit for a few years; the punishment was very severe.
