Chapter five hundred and forty-nine solve the case safely (4)
Sir?
No, it’s actually another official!
However, this gentleman is too young! He looks like he is only fifteen or sixteen years old!
The people watching were in an uproar, and their eyes almost bulged out. They couldn't believe their eyes, as if the sun had risen in the west.
One second he was the fool they were laughing at, and the next second he turned into the official! The gap from the fool to the official was too big. Everyone couldn't accept it for a while, but the fact was there and they couldn't help it.
believe.
The official certificate that Zhu Pingan just took out in the field was not unfamiliar to them. The arrogant fifth-grade Tongzhi just took it out once; although they could not tell the authenticity, official officials who often come into contact with these things would definitely be able to tell the difference.
It was clear that the two officials knelt down on the spot.
Among them, the one who had the biggest reaction was the old man who lived in the same cabin as Zhu Pingan on the ship. The old man had always regarded Zhu Pingan as a scholar who went to Yingtian Mansion to take the scholar examination. Last night, when Zhu Pingan was studying at night by candlelight, the old man even thought that Zhu Pingan was studying at night.
As an example, his nephew mentioned a lot of experience in rushing for the exam. As a result, I never expected that what kind of scholar was he rushing to take the exam? He was already an official!
God, how old is this young man!
But thinking about the scene of Zhu Ping'an reading at night by candlelight, the old man was even more impressed. No wonder he has already become an official at a young age. He is worthy of the young man's hard work. God rewards hard work.
The changes on Zhu Ping'an's side brought Magistrate Chun'an here once again. Although Magistrate Chun'an refused to accept hard words and was very proud, the most basic etiquette in the officialdom could not be ignored.
When they greeted each other, Magistrate Chun'an acted the same as before in front of Lord Tongzhi. He stood as straight as before, but slightly arched his hands.
"May I ask this gentleman, what is the basis for what you just said?" After receiving the gift, the magistrate of Chun'an did not hesitate for a moment, and directly asked Zhu Pingan the question.
This is what everyone is concerned about. At this moment, everyone's eyes are focused on Zhu Ping'an. That's right, why? What's the basis for it? You can't say that someone is a murderer just because you are an official.
You're the murderer, your words are unfounded, you have to come up with some evidence.
All the attention is focused on it, but that’s all.
Facing the gazes of the county magistrate and everyone, Zhu Ping'an did not whet everyone's appetite and turned his attention to boatman Wang Gui.
"Sir, I'm wronged, I'm wronged." Boatman Wang Gui knelt on the ground under Zhu Pingan's gaze, shouting "I'm wronged", as if he had suffered a great injustice, but his eyes were a little dodgey, and he didn't dare to look at Zhu Pingan.
looking into each other's eyes.
Seeing Wang Gui's exaggerated performance, Zhu Pingan shook his head slightly, walked up to him, and asked lightly: "Do you still remember what you called when you went to call the door of Mr. Zhang's house this morning when Mr. Zhang didn't arrive?
What?"
"When the door is called?" Boatman Wang Gui was stunned.
"Yes, do you still remember?" Zhu Pingan nodded.
"Mrs. Zhang, Mrs. Zhang, open the door quickly." Boatman Wang Gui didn't know what Zhu Pingan meant by asking, so he subconsciously said it.
After listening to Wang Gui's words, Zhu Ping'an nodded, then turned to look at Chun'an Magistrate, cupped his hands slightly, "This is why I call him a murderer."
ha?
The people watching were at a loss.
Where are they? What are these? With just one sentence, I concluded that the boatman Wang Gui was the murderer. It was very normal to call the door. How normal.
There must be a shady story. If this is not a shady story, then what is a shady story?
The word "official" has two meanings. The poor should not fight against the rich, and the people should not fight against the officials! Hey, these officials have it when they say they have it, and they don't have it when they don't have it. They just say what they say. They confuse right and wrong and label a deer as a horse, which is what makes us miserable.
These common people.
Wang Gui, a boatman, has been making a living by the river for generations. He has been exposed to wind, rain and sun, and has worked hard to make a living.
Look at that Mrs. Zhang Wang. She is dressed in gold and silver, and she looks like a vixen in heat, flirting with others! At first glance, she is not a good person.
However, this young man actually said that the murderer was the boatman Wang Gui, just by knocking on the door! Oh, good people suffer when they encounter these unscrupulous officials! It is true as the old saying goes, the yamen opens to the south, so don't come in if you have reason or no money.
The crowd onlookers sighed and their dissatisfaction was palpable.
After listening to Zhu Pingan's words, the magistrate of Chun'an was thoughtful. After thinking for a few seconds, he turned his attention to the boatman Wang Gui who was kneeling on the ground.
"Sir, you are our Chun'an parent official. You have to make the decision for the villain. The villain will not accept it. The villain will not accept it. Sir." Boatman Wang Gui knelt on the ground, walked a few steps to the feet of the magistrate of Chun'an, and then hugged him
He lifted up the magistrate's thighs and began to howl in grievance.
"Not convinced?" Zhu Ping'an lowered his head and looked at boatman Wang Gui.
"The villain is not convinced." Boatman Wang Gui nodded vigorously, tears streaming down his face, feeling so aggrieved.
The people watching felt both distressed and angry. They felt sorry for Wang Gui, a poor man, and were angry that a dog official was looking down on human life and calling a deer a horse.
"Okay, you were waiting for Mr. Zhang at the riverside for a long time this morning, so why did you go to Mr. Zhang's house to call the door?" Zhu Pingan nodded, then squatted down and looked at Wang Gui and asked.
"We made an appointment. This morning I took a boat to take Mr. Zhang to Yingtian Mansion. Mr. Zhang was late and didn't come. Of course I went to Mr. Zhang's house to ask Mr. Zhang to get on the boat." Boatman Wang Gui looked aggrieved and his voice was full of embarrassment.
With sadness and anger.
"Oh, the person you are looking for is Mr. Zhang."
Zhu Ping'an nodded, his voice as calm as ever, but his next sentence became stern and louder, "Since you are looking for Mr. Zhang, why did you call the door instead of Mrs. Zhang?"
ah?
Zhu Ping'an's question was like a lightning strike, hitting the point directly. Boatman Wang Gui's forehead was dripping with cold sweat and he suddenly sat down on the ground.
Some of the onlookers suddenly realized what was going on, but most of them were still at a loss. They still had a blank look at what was going on and could not understand it at all. The part of the people who suddenly realized what was going on at this time were proactive and had a sense of accomplishment.
He was a good teacher and explained it to the people next to him.
The scene was buzzing, people were whispering to each other, and looking at Zhu Pingan with a bit of awe.
"This means that you knew that Mr. Zhang was not at home, so you called Mrs. Zhang! You knew that Mr. Zhang was not at home, but you went to Mr. Zhang's house to ask him to board the boat! The thief called to catch the thief. It was originally a good method, but when you called the door, you showed your flaws.
! You are the murderer of Mr. Zhang! Tell me, where is Mr. Zhang? Don’t blame me for not reminding you. If you delay Mr. Tongzhi and my errand, you will be punished with an additional penalty! "
Zhu Pingan stood up and looked down at the boatman Wang Gui with a serious look on his face.
The onlookers all suddenly understood at this moment, and there was a roar of applause. It was no longer just a matter of admiration for the young master Zhu Pingan. Comparing the before and after, the senses were even stronger. I originally thought that he was a fool who was harming the people.
I am a dog officer, but I didn't expect that he would solve a case that everyone thought had no clue with just a simple sentence. Everyone listened to the person involved, but only the young adult saw everything clearly and understood everything, and solved the case in one fell swoop.
.
No wonder someone became an official at such a young age, it’s really amazing.
"Qingtian is alive, Bao Zheng is coming again, God is dead, etc." were all shouted out in admiration by the onlookers.
At this moment, boatman Wang Gui had already had his psychological defenses broken by Zhu Ping'an's continuous questioning, and he collapsed on the ground. At this moment, he was being scorned by the onlookers. There was no thought of denial. He was like a hen falling into the water.
Yan told the truth about the case, and then he was escorted by the officials to a woods by the river, where he dug up the murdered Mr. Zhang from a messy place with dead grass in the woods.
The moment the murdered Mr. Zhang was found, the onlookers' admiration for Zhu Pingan reached its peak. (~^~)
