"You, you are deceiving too much!"

Hearing this, Tan Fang's fat cheeks trembled with anger, pointing her finger at Xie Shen and said angrily.

If it wasn't for Xu Shilang standing beside Xie Shen, he might have ordered his servants to go up and beat up this ignorant young man in a fit of rage.

As if feeling that the deterrent effect of this sentence was not enough, Tan Fang added another sentence: "You are setting up a private court!"

After saying this, Tan Fangzhi shot Xie Shen a satisfied look, and waited for Magistrate Wu to judge.

You must know that the words of setting up a private court are very lethal. Although Xie Shen has a reputation as a scholar, he is not an official after all.Not being an official but exercising the power of an official to set up a private court and obtain a confession, doesn't this mean that the county magistrate of Yuyao, the parent official of Yuyao, is not taken seriously?

Such cruel remarks did not frighten Xie Shen, the young man smiled lightly: "I am afraid that the boy did not make it clear just now, this confession was not obtained by the boy's private court, but by Xu Shilang's own trial."

The smile on Tan Fang's face froze instantly.

what?
Xu Shilang personally interrogated?
What is the origin of this Xie Shen, that he could have a relationship with Xu Shilang?
If it's just that, it's fine, Xu Shilang would actually interrogate a few servants for him?
If Xu Shilang tried it himself, he would naturally be unable to make a mistake.But.
The county magistrate Wu at the side quickly stood up and said: "Misunderstanding, there must be a misunderstanding."

County Magistrate Wu's term of office is about to expire and he is about to leave office, so he doesn't want any major incidents to happen.He doesn't seek merit but seeks no faults. At worst, he doesn't want the merit of digging water channels.After all, Tan Fang was the adopted son of Eunuch Li, and if something happened to Tan Fang, County Magistrate Wu would never have to worry about it.

But Xie Shen smiled and said: "I'm afraid the county lord doesn't know what was written in the confessions of these three people, right?"

"This"

Although County Magistrate Wu wanted to defend Tan Fang, he didn't know what cards Xie Shen was holding, so he couldn't say much for a while.

"Please also invite the county lords to read it!"

Xie Shen handed the confession directly to County Magistrate Wu.With Xu Guan in charge here, he was not afraid that Magistrate Wu would tear up the evidence.

County Magistrate Wu took the confession from Xie Shen, unfolded it and read it slowly.

The more he watched, the more shocked he became, and finally he lost his voice and said: "This official is guilty of negligence, this official is guilty."

After all, Xu Guan was also the censor of the Nanzhili patrol, even if he wrote a memorial now and sent it to the capital for the emperor to read, the magistrate Wu couldn't find anything wrong.But in this way, County Magistrate Wu's official career is over.Not to mention promotion, it has become a question of whether County Magistrate Wu can be transferred to another county to take charge after his term expires.

The only blame is that this confession is too vicious, every word is pearly, every word is heart-wrenching!
Therefore, County Magistrate Wu first admitted his crime of "overseeing" to minimize the loss.

"Those three domestic servants have already admitted that Master Tan and Wu Cheng, the shopkeeper of Hengyuan Tea House, conspired to rob the boy's maid. In addition, Master Tan and shopkeeper Wu put the farmland under the name of Yunci Temple and escaped to hand over the emperor's grain. Among the confessions."

Xie Shen spoke in an unhurried manner, but Tan Fang was horrified when she heard this.These three people are his confidantes, otherwise Tan Fang would not order them to handle everything.

He didn't see the confession, he still hoped so Xie Shen cheated and defended himself: "You don't want to spit blood!"

"enough!"

County Magistrate Wu couldn't bear it any longer, he glanced at Tan Fang coldly and said, "This county decides whether it's true or not."

"I'm afraid it's not appropriate for the county official to decide this matter."

County Magistrate Wu was choked, but it wasn't easy to get angry, so he could only stare at Xie Shen.

"Since the county lord admits to being negligent, I'm afraid it will attract criticism if he tries the case again. In order to preserve the reputation of the county lord, it's better to let Xu Shilang try the case."

Xie Shen changed the subject and came back round again.

The reason why he dared to say that was naturally because he had reached a consensus with Xu Guan.And the reason why he dared to tell the whole story was because he knew Xu Guan's character.Another point is that County Magistrate Wu's term in Yuyao is about to end.At that time, the imperial court will order Wu County Magistrate to leave office, even if he slightly offends Wu County Magistrate at this moment, it will not have much negative impact.

Of course, he still upholds the concept that the injustice has its head and the debt has its owner. Although County Magistrate Wu is a bit weak, he hasn't committed any serious crimes.Therefore, Xie Shen did not embellish his confession.

As for Tan Fang and shopkeeper Wu, Xie Shen naturally didn't intend to be soft-hearted.

People are good at being bullied, and horses are good at being ridden by others. This matter must not be good!
Speaking of this, County Magistrate Wu really couldn't refuse.

"In that case, let Xu Shilang try the case himself!"

Although he was quite unwilling, Magistrate Wu also knew that this was the best result for him.

Xu Guan nodded and said: "The people are easy to abuse, but the sky is hard to bully. Under the bright and bright world, there will be no treacherous people to hide."

A group of people surrounded Xu Guan and went to the county government office. Naturally, it was very powerful, but the people among them had their own thoughts.

But it is said that when Xu Guan arrived at the county government office, he sat upright at the top of the hall, and county magistrate Wu, Xie Shen, Tan Fang and others sat at the bottom.

Xu Guan ordered the yamen servants to go to Ciyun Temple to get all the land deeds, and then interrogated several monks who were in charge of the land deeds, and then the trial officially started.

As for the abbot of the Ciyun Temple, because he was seriously ill and unable to perform, he was not arraigned for the time being.Of course, if the trial required it, it would be necessary to carry him from Ciyun Temple to the Yuyao County Government on wooden boards.

In addition to these few monks, there were also the three evil servants from Tan Fang's mansion and Wu Cheng, the treasurer of Hengyuan Tea House.

Shopkeeper Wu glared at Xie Shen viciously, his eyes were full of resentment.

"quiet!"

Xu Guan patted the gavel, and the few monks who were whispering to each other shivered and fell silent.

Xu Guan asked in a deep voice: "I have a confession here, saying that the Sun family and the Tan family took the initiative to hang their farmland under the name of Ciyun Temple in order to avoid paying the royal rations. Do you have anything to say?"

"My lord, my lord is wronged. Thanks to the great grace of the emperor, the fields on the mountain behind the temple can be exempted from paying taxes and grains. But these fields are inherited from the previous dynasty of the temple, and there is absolutely no one else. I have enshrined a lot of sesame oil money, but those are clearly recorded. Apart from this, this temple has no other relationship with the two benefactors."

The leading monk spoke out, in order to shirk all responsibility.

Xu Guan's face was not disturbed, and he only said in a harmonious voice: "If it is true as you said, what is this document?"

Xu Guan picked up a somewhat old manuscript and asked loudly.
