Return to the great era of China's eternal emperor, the Qin Dynasty, and change the established history.

Yangting, whose name is Zhen, is more than twenty years old, lives in the county seat. It is said that she is a relative of Zuo Wei in the county seat, and she inherits her father's title, and is a "hairpin curl" (zā n ni m: o) at the third level. Relying on his martial arts skills, he passed the official examination of the state of Qin and was appointed as the director of Huyang Pavilion. He was young and successful, and he was always frivolous.

Maybe it's because Zhen has the title and rank, so he tells the story first ...

"So that the officials can know."

Zhen seems to be very familiar with the interrogation procedure. She bowed respectfully to the presiding officer and said slowly:

"On that day, I was in the Huyang Pavilion, playing weapons with the second and third sons in the pavilion. Suddenly, I received a call for help from local businessman Bao, saying that a group of thieves attacked him nine miles south of the pavilion."

"I dare not neglect, immediately called for theft, pavilion, quickly. After arriving at the place, I saw that the three thieves had been tied up, but the two men who captured them were whispering in the same place, wondering what they were discussing. "

"I was suspicious in my heart. I came forward to cross-examine, routinely check the inspection and transmission of two people, and at the same time ask them how to capture the thief with two enemies and four enemies? Unexpectedly, a taxi named Heifu pushed from pillar to post, saying nothing, and he actually started hands with me and hit me! Later, when he saw the officials and horses, he knocked down a thief and a booth pawn, and ran to the road falsely accusing me of robbing and cheating ... That's what happened, so I won't let him know. "

"He lied!"

Ji Ying was anxious, but somehow he remembered why he had been beaten just now, and only rushed to refute him after enduring Huyang Tingchang's words.

"Huyang Tingchang, I didn't know you before, no cause no enmity, why do you want to falsely accuse you? With my own strength, how dare I beat you as a pavilion leader in front of everyone in Huyang Pavilion? " Black didn't resist and began to heckle him.

Director Yang Ting rolled his eyes: "Maybe you have something to hide, or maybe you are arrogant because of your martial arts skills."

At this time, Xi motioned for Heifu to make a statement, so Heifu would covet the reward of the three thieves by Huyang Tingchang, and first persuaded them to fail to do the work together, but he was going to repeat what was forcibly taken ...

"It's just that the villain was too eager when he ran to the side of the road to complain to the officials. He accidentally knocked down the thief and the pavilion pawn, that's all. As for the director of the pavilion, he said that I resisted by force and beat him. There is absolutely no such thing. I don't know why he said this ... that's what happened, so don't let him know. "

Hei Fu almost found out the operation rules of Qin courts, emphasized procedural fairness, and the judges had strong rigor and logic, and both witnesses and material evidence were used, which was really very similar to later court trials.

In this case, Hu Yang Tingchang still dares to loose orpiment. Is it lucky? Or are you ready?

Heifu felt a little uneasy, then looked at the merchant Bao who was still sweating in late autumn, and vaguely guessed the reason ...

In class, while listening to the two men's statements, the presiding officer Xi wrote down two contradictions in their statements on the bamboo slips and raised questions.

"First, Huyang Tingchang Zhen, have you ever persuaded Heifu and his wife to cheat and reward them?"

Black, JiYing, of course, said yes!

Tingchang, thief, pavilion pawn and others flatly denied it, saying no!

When asked about the three thieves, they said that they were tied to one side at that time and could not hear clearly because they were far away.

So, the businessman Bao, as a witness, became the key point. He looked at him with a consulting eye, but after seeing that Bao hesitated for a long time, he carefully replied, "Little people don't know about this …"

"bad! This guy really retracted his confession! "

As soon as this statement came out, Heifu's heart sank, and Ji Ying became even more furious, shouting, "You profiteer, we have obviously saved your life, but you have turned the hand in hand and conspired with others to cheat!"

"I've never been locked up with them. How can I collude and cheat?"

Shang Jia Bao also threw caution to the wind, took out the posture of quarreling in the market, patted his chest, and said, "It's true that you two saved me from bandits, but in this class, in front of the prison, I dare to make half a false statement, so let Qiu Gui visit my house!"

Qiugui is one of many local superstitious ghosts and gods. Ju said that whoever it visited would be down and out. As a businessman, it is also enough to make such a poisonous oath.

Ji Ying was so angry that he wanted to jump over and beat the merchant, but Heifu grabbed him and said to Xi, "Prison, this merchant is a native of Huyang Pavilion, and he is familiar with the pavilion chief and others. He lobbied for him that day, and wanted us to take credit for Huyang Pavilion. His testimony is not credible! “

"Believe it or not, you! Have to be observed by the prison! "

Seeing the reversal of the situation, the director of the Huting began to smile.

However, Xi didn't listen to either side of the story, but turned the page and asked the next question.

"Second, Heifu really did something to the director of Huyang Pavilion?"

Heifu knows why Hu Yang Tingchang and others want to discredit him so much. According to the Qin law, when a scholar fights with others, he is guilty of "private fighting". Because the other party is an official, it's even more important to add to the punishment of "thief wounding". One should shave one's hair, and be punished to be a city worker for one year, that is, to repair the tomb and build the city wall.

So Huyang Tingchang and others asserted that Heifu moved his hand, which was really sinister.

Hei Fu and Ji Ying, of course, denied it, saying that they knew it was not allowed by law and had no courage to use force against officials.

All the people in the Huting said that they saw Heifu beating people, probably because he was fighting with his martial arts skills and overstepping his officials.

As for the three thieves, they said that their sight was blocked by the pavilion guards and they didn't see clearly.

The two sides said otherwise, so the businessman Bao became the key witness again …

"I saw with my own eyes that Heifu punched the pavilion director!"

By this time, Bao didn't care about his conscience, and began to pour dirty water on Heifu desperately, describing vividly how Heifu quarreled with the pavilion director, how he became angry from embarrassment, how he used his martial arts skills to be strong, and how to fight with his fists.

During Bao's presentation, Heifu sipped his mouth and didn't talk. JiYing listened to all this and became a cat on hot bricks.

"We are in danger, in danger!"

Ji Ying knows that things are already very bad. The two questions raised by the prison slap, and the final testimony are all against his own side. If they are all filled up, he and Heifu will face heavy penalties!

Not to mention the crime of "thief hurting people" of beating officials, if both of them sued Huyang Tingchang for cheating and rewarding, they would face the crime of "false accusation!" According to the Qin law, the false accuser will be punished according to the false charges, which is "false accusation against others".

Not only can he and Heifu not get gratuities, but they will also be severely punished. Maybe tomorrow, they will be embarrassed on their faces, reduced to official slaves, sent to the frontier as garrison soldiers, and even implicated their families.

On the other hand, Huyang Tingchang Zhen seems to see that the balance of victory is slowly leaning towards her own side, and suddenly she is elated.

It seems that the news from the outside is true. Those secret operations are still of some use. This merchant Bao has always been timid. After a slight scare, he came to their side.

He has been thinking about how he will celebrate after winning this case. Maybe he can go to the girls in the city to have fun and laugh at Heifu's stupidity and overreaching to the women who snuggled up beside him ...

Xiao Shiwu, dare to sue the official? Ridiculous!

By this time, the merchant Bao had finished his statement.

After Xi wrote down the key testimony, he looked at Heifu and said, "Wait, do you still have something to say?"

This is their last chance to defend themselves, otherwise, they will have to pin their fate on the happy judgment.

But Ji Ying had no choice but to mutter that he was wronged, but his head hung lower and lower ...

At this time, Heifu stepped forward. He asked for instructions and said happily, "Senior official, can I ask the merchant Bao and others a question?"

I was slightly surprised that Hihei Fu could be so calm in a desperate situation, and said, "But it doesn't hurt to ask."

Heifu paced up to the merchant Bao: "You said you saw me punching the Huyang Pavilion Chief with your own eyes?"

Bao tried to straighten himself up: "I saw it."

"How many punches?"

"One ... one punch."

In order not to make the testimony too inaccurate, he only dared to make up that Heifu punched the pavilion chief and was stopped by everyone.

"Then let me ask you, can you see clearly, which hand did I hit him with?"

Heifu raised his hands, and his family has been farming for generations. These are a pair of hands that work all the year round, with cocoons in their palms and strong arms. It seems that with a gentle hand forward, Bao, a merchant of the rat and the mouse, can be strangled ...

Bao stepped back half a step guiltily, his small eyes looked left and right, and he couldn't make up his mind. Finally, he could only say with certainty according to his common sense, "It should be his right hand! Yes, it's the right hand! "

Heifu smiled and said nothing, then turned around and asked the people in Huyang Pavilion, "You also claimed to see me punching people, which hand did you use?"

The thieves and pavilion pawns looked at each other, and finally they all chose to echo the merchant Bao's statement: "It's the right hand."

Finally, Heifu stood in front of Huyang Tingchangzhen. They were about the same height, and their eyes were opposite. They all regarded each other as enemies. Today, it's either you or me!

The husband sneered, "Tingchang, you got beaten yourself, don't you remember?"

The director of Huting felt that there might be fraud in this matter, but now, if he gave a different answer, it would certainly make the prison inmates suspicious, but it was not good. He pointed to Heifu's right hand impatiently: "It was the right hand that hit me, hitting my abdomen …"

Said, and he also lifted his coat, and there was indeed a shallow bruise on his abdomen-this is what Huyang Tingchang asked one of his servants to hit hard.

His voice did not fall, the corner of the class, suddenly burst into laughter!

"Hahaha, ridiculous, really ridiculous!"

They looked intently, but it was Pan, the campus thief in chains, who was shaking with laughter.

"Criminals, why are you laughing?" Xi stopped going to punish Pan's warder.

Pan looked up and said, "I laugh at this pavilion and the merchants' stupidity. I remember clearly that Heifu drew his sword with his left hand, and he has been holding the blade with his left hand ever since, which made us unexpected of his moves and was calculated."

"When fighting with my bare hands, he is also stronger with his left hand. Whenever he punches me, he will use his left hand first, and it hurts to hit him in the body. If the pavilion chief and the merchants don't know, wouldn't it be ridiculous to accuse him of hurting people with his right hand? "

As soon as this statement came out, merchants Bao, Hu Yang Tingchang and others were dumbfounded, and the hall was even more resounding with the rapid recording of testimony by the officials.

"That's right. How can I use my right hand?"

Heifu also rolled up the sleeve of his right hand and handed it to the front of the official's anger, but he saw a scabbed wound on his right elbow: "The official observed clearly that my right hand was injured while catching a thief, and it is still inconvenient to move. How can I hurt someone?"

"Doctor, that's true." After careful examination, report back.

Xi Lou surprised, Xiao listened with interest to Heifu's statement, and the Huyang pavilion and merchants had already turned pale.

Heifu walked slowly to the center of the lobby. At this moment, he has become the deserved protagonist of this interrogation.

"What's more, just like Pan confirmed, even if I don't get hurt, I always punch first with my left hand. As for why ..."

Black smiled at them, bared his big white teeth, and then raised his left hand above his head, like an athlete who declared victory after a game:

"Because, I am left-handed!"
