Chapter 10 Discovery in Elm Village
Chapter 10: Discovered in Yushu Village
The three people who suddenly appeared were stunned by everyone except Zhang Zhong, especially the county magistrate and the lord. The two looked at the situation in front of them and looked at each other for a moment. From the other's eyes, they knew that this matter was not arranged by them.
Zhang Damazi was also stupid. He knew what was going on with this body. He dug out from the graves elsewhere and dragged them here. Did someone really come to recognize him? Then he was exposed directly, dared to lie about the case, and still let the county magistrate's son unconscious on the way and has not woken up until now.
The county magistrate must not peel his skin? What should I do? What should I do now?
The more Zhang Damazi thought about it, the more scared he became, and stopped crying, and turned his head to look at County Magistrate Xiao.
County Chief Xiao was also nervous at this time, afraid that one of the three people was a relative of the deceased, would Zhang Damazi bring him out? Then Zhang Zhong sent a memorial and he would be finished. He also looked at Zhang Damazi.
The two of them looked at each other and saw panic in the eyes of each other. County Magistrate Xiao winked and shook his head, which meant to tell Zhang Damazi that he could not be called out no matter what.
Zhang Damazi's mouth opened slightly, looked at the corpse on the ground, then looked at the three people crying there, raised their heads and looked at the county magistrate who was sneering at him, and piled up there with a plop.
At this time, Chu Zuo started to do things. He went to look at the bodies, checked them one by one, stood up, and did not look at the county magistrate and the lord. He knew that his usual money was probably given by these two people, or one of them, so he only said to Zhang Zhong:
"Sir, the young man has finished checking. The wound on the deceased was cut after a few days of death. There was no thick blood flowing out at all. It was all blood from the body and the holes in the clothes on the body. It was cut with the same knife, and there was a gap in the knife.
Since Zhang Damazi said that it was a besiege of several people, it was impossible that there was only the same knife. Except for the knife wound, there were no other scars. The little one finished speaking."
After hearing Chu Zuzuo's words, Zhang Zhong didn't say anything, nodded, looked at Zhang Damazi, staring at him without blinking.
Zhang Damazi's eyes showed a look of horror. He looked at the county magistrate and then at the county magistrate, but he couldn't say a word.
"Zhang Damazi, you are so brave. You dare to lie and report the case. I think you don't want to live anymore." The county magistrate couldn't help it at this time, glared at him fiercely, rushed towards Zhang Damazi, kicked and shouted.
"Mr. Xiao, what do you mean? I have not said anything yet, so you can act on my behalf?" Zhang Zhong looked around, without stopping, just saying something.
County Magistrate Xiao deliberately kicked and beat Zhang Damazi to Zhang Zhong, blinking hard while beating. Zhang Damazi blocked her hands back and forth, and suddenly stopped. He grabbed County Magistrate Xiao's foot and tried hard, and County Magistrate Xiao was knocked away.
Zhang Damazi rolled and crawled to Zhang Zhong and said to Zhang Zhong: "Sir, the county magistrate, the young man knows the crime. The young man deliberately went to the yamen to report to the officials and deceived the young man, but the young man had no choice. The young man used to have some minor crimes and should have been locked up, but the young man gave some money and was released.
Lord, two days ago, County Magistrate Xiao found the young man and asked the young man to do this, otherwise he would say that he would continue to lock up the young man, and the young man would have no choice. Lord, you are kind to him, the young man knows his guilt."
Zhang Damazi has been willing to give up this time. Even if he blames himself, he will not believe that County Magistrate Xiao will help him. If you report that I can’t get better, you don’t think about it and tell me.
"Nonsense." Zhang Zhong, the county magistrate and the lord Bo shouted at the same time. The county magistrate and the lord Bo shouted that there was still love, but Zhang Zhong also shouted the same, which made the two of them not know what to say.
Zhang Zhong gave him a look that made him feel at ease, and then said to Zhang Damazi again: "Unclerence, you are not only lying to me to wait here, but you also dare to frame Xiao County Magistrate. Where is the yamen runner?"
"At." Several yamen run over from there.
"Come on, tie up this marijuana and wait for it to be punished." Zhang Zhong shouted, and several yamen runners took out ropes from their bodies and started tying them.
Zhang Damazi was naturally unwilling to be tied up. While struggling, he was talking about how County Magistrate Xiao arranged it, which made County Magistrate Xiao frightened there. Fortunately, when he looked at Zhang Zhong, Zhang Zhong always had the calm expression, as if he didn't believe what Zhang Damazi said.
Zhang Zhong clearly knew what was going on. If he wanted to bring it in to County Magistrate Xiao, it would be very simple. As long as he sent it to the capital with Zhang Damazi, there would naturally be a way to ask for the authenticity there, but he could not do that now, so he had to use the two men, Lord Bo and County Magistrate.
Zhang Damazi struggled for a while, but still failed to twist the yamen runners. Finally, he was tied up and stuffed something into his mouth, making County Chief Xiao much more stable.
"Mr. Zhang, since you know that Zhang Damazi is lying, should you go back?" County Magistrate Xiao didn't want to stay here for a moment. It was important to go back and lock Zhang Damazi up as soon as possible.
Zhang Zhong didn't want to go back now. Tian Gouzi from Yushu Village hasn't come yet. He must know why the county magistrate and lord Bo wanted to get him there. What was there?
After hearing the words of County Chief Xiao, he said, "No, there are three people here to recognize the body. Let them recognize it carefully and then talk about it. You three come and see if they are your relatives?"
The three of them were originally coming to help. The people who were doing odd jobs behind Jin Lailou. At this time, they heard the words of the master of the master and knew that they were going to delay time. The woman came close first, looked carefully, and walked slowly around the body, but did not speak until she felt that it was almost done, so she shook her head.
"Sir, this is not my father. The little girl is wrong. I will go back now. Sir, the little girl will be arrested, right?"
"Of course not. You didn't report to the official position, you just came here to take a look. Then go ahead, next one." How could Zhang Zhong cure his own people's crimes and greet the old man over there.
The old man also came over to see it, looked at the way he came, and saw a figure running towards him, and said to Zhang Zhong: "It's not my cousin, sir, I'm back too."
The remaining boy was even more simply, "I just saw that my father didn't look like this. Maybe he's gone home and I'm leaving too."
At this time, the person running here also came closer. The young man was strong and over six feet tall. According to Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan, he was a big man over 1.8 meters tall.
The man ran to the place, looked at the people around him, and asked, "Who is the county magistrate? I'm here."
"Are you that Tian Gouzi?" Zhang Zhong was happy when he saw this young man. The young man's name was not very nice, but he looked like a clever person, and he had a simple and simple look.
"Sir, I am, I didn't kill anyone. I have been staying at home. The house at home is about to collapse again. I have to repair it." Tian Gouzi said honestly there.
"I know you didn't kill someone, but someone framed him. This person is named Zhang Damazi. He said that you brought people here to kill someone. Do you have a grudge with him?" Zhang Zhong pointed at Zhang Damazi and asked Tian Gouzi.
Tian Gouzi looked at Zhang Damazi carefully and shook his head, "I don't know him, why do you have a grudge? Why did he frame me?"
At this time, the blocked thing in Zhang Damazi's mouth was also taken out. He took a breath and immediately said, "It's not me, I didn't frame you, it's County Magistrate Xiao. He asked me to say that, Tian Gouzi, if you want to find it, go find County Magistrate Xiao."
When Tian Gouzi heard this, his eyes were on County Magistrate Xiao, and he took the gaze back two steps, then said, "I didn't say it, it's not me, it's him, it's Zhang Damazi. I didn't collect taxes from you, it's exempted, it's already exempted."
Zhang Zhong looked around and understood some things. Maybe the original County Magistrate Wen and others went to Yushu Village to collect more taxes. If they didn't give it to them, they seemed to dare not be too tough. Then they wanted to get themselves over. At that time, not only would they catch Tian Gouzi, but they could also mention the tax collection.
At that time, the people they can't deal with will be left to themselves to deal with. It doesn't matter whether they can deal with it. If you make a fuss, don't think about doing anything else.
Zhang Zhong wanted to know about the matter in Yushu Village, but he would not ask now. He said to Tian Gouzi: "When I go back and check this matter carefully. You are going back with me now. I have something to ask you."
"Sir, you didn't wrong me. You are a good official, I'll follow you." Tian Gouzi glared at the Lord Bo and the County Magistrate again, and said as he followed Zhang Zhong and walked down.
Zhang Zhong deliberately yawned again, letting the Lord Bo and the County Magistrate see it, and felt a little more uncomfortable, and was ready to continue to torture and prevent Zhang Zhong from resting.
Zhang Zhong brought Tian Gouzi to the side of the car. Thinking of his son pretending to be sick inside, he said to Tian Gouzi: "My son fell when he came. When he entered, you would sit beside me."
After saying this, the car door was opened. Zhang Xiaobao was already lying there, his head resting on Wang Juan's legs, motionless.
Tian Gouzi glanced at Zhang Xiaobao and sat honestly beside Zhang Zhong. Fortunately, the carriage was tall enough, otherwise he would not be able to sit down.
"Tian Gouzi, how do you live in Yushu Village on weekdays?" Zhang Zhong wanted to learn about the situation there, so he started asking here.
Tian Gouzi shook his head, "Sir, I'm not doing well at all. As long as it rains, black water will rush into the ground. There will be no too much food in the field. Look, I have a lot of black mud sticking to my shoes."
He didn't understand the rules, so he raised his feet as he spoke. Sure enough, there was something black on it, but Wang Juan looked at some things and said, "Coal? So there is coal here."
