?Chapter 7, King Jin Arrives
"We need to know!"
"We need to know!"
After hearing Tong Shuming's words, the common people outside the court immediately let out bursts of shouts, indicating that they had the right to know about this matter.
It was just a flash of effort, Song Wuya already had an idea in his mind.Although he can't talk about the jade seal, he can talk about other things.Even if this thing doesn't exist, they can't help them think about it.
"I suspect that the person who relies on the shopkeeper is the minion of an evil force in the city, so he wants to follow the vine and put a long line to catch big fish." Song Wuya looked at Song Shuming and responded coldly.
As soon as he said this, Lai Mingcang immediately kowtowed to Tong Shuming: "Master Zhifu, I am wronged! Although I am doing nothing, I am definitely not the pawn of some evil force! It is Mr. Song...he slandered me!"
Of course, Lai Mingcang would not admit this, after all, this is not a joke, maybe he will lose his head.
"In that case, does Mr. Song have any evidence?" Tong Shuming continued to ask.
Hearing this, Song Wuya smiled slightly: "Evidence, the evidence could have been found today. But probably God didn't open his eyes today. At this critical moment, Master Tong called me here, exposing The identity of the official. The evidence at hand can only be that the cooked duck flew away."
"What a Mr. Song, you are really eloquent! Is it my fault to bite back after such a few words?" Tong Shuming retorted with a sneer without the slightest hesitation when he heard these words.
As soon as he said this, the people outside the court immediately echoed him.
After all, in the current situation, it seems that Song Wuya and Bai Zhuo are the bad guys, and Tong Shuming is the parent who really does good things for them.
The people immediately refused to agree, and shouted again.
"Bite back! Bite back"
……
Hearing the yells pouring in like a tide, both Song Wuya and Bai Zhuo's heads were about to explode.Now they are forced to be on the cusp of the storm, if they hadn't held the jade seal, they wouldn't have ended up like this.
But even at this stage, Song Wuya still didn't think about telling the matter.
Bai Zhuo stood aside, looked at Song Wuya and frowned: "Brother Wuya, I don't think we should burden the Holy One with this matter, let's talk about it directly. In the worst case, we will destroy everything and let this matter be destroyed." That's the end of the matter with the world."
Obviously, such a result is a desperate move.
However, Song Wuya didn't feel that he was at the end of his rope right now.
He did not continue to follow Tong Shuming's question, but asked him: "Master Tong! Now I have become the defendant, and the shopkeeper Lai who is kneeling right now, according to what you said, is Colluding with our government and businessmen, the officials want to see who the plaintiff is."
"Hmph! Master Song, it seems that you have nothing to say. Since you want to see the plaintiff, I will give you this chance." Tong Shuming was unambiguous, Song Wuya said he wanted to see the plaintiff, so he gave him the plaintiff.
The so-called plaintiff is nothing more than the reporter.
They were brought here without even knowing who made the report.Song Wuya knew that Tong Shuming knew about this matter, and it was definitely not the shop boy who reported it, nor was it Lai Mingcang.Those who told Tong Shuming about this matter were obviously those Guanshan restaurants who were following them secretly.
And the reason why they told Tong Shuming about this was precisely because Tong Shuming was also theirs, and they were going to use this to get rid of Song Wuya.Even if there is no way to get rid of Song Wuya, it can be because Song Wuya cannot continue to serve as the imperial envoy at this time, so that they can get rid of the two troubles of Song Wuya and Bai Zhuo.
Soon, the reporter was brought to court.
Song Wuya didn't know this person at all, and he didn't have the slightest impression of this person in his mind.
"It's you!"
What Song Wuya didn't expect was that Lai Mingcang recognized this person.
"Who is he?" Song Wuya looked at Lai Mingcang and asked about his identity.
"He is the owner of that yard." Lai Mingcang said, frowning.
Song Wuya nodded, and also noticed the look on Lai Mingcang's face, which made Song Wuya a little confused.Obviously, Lai Mingcang's expression is enough to show that he has nothing to do with Tong Shuming and Guanshan Restaurant.
"I want to ask you, who are you?" Seeing the landlord coming up, Tong Shuming immediately asked for his identity.
"Reporting to the magistrate, the younger one is from Yangzhou, named Yang Liuxiang. The younger one has a real estate in the north of the city, which is a big yard. A few days ago, this person found me and gave me some money, saying that he wanted to rent it. The yard is a few days. As for what they are used for, the small ones don't know much."
Yang Liuxiang told the story.
But as soon as he said this, Song Wuya and Bai Zhuo couldn't help laughing.
Only now did they understand that this Lai Mingcang was probably not a member of Wuliangjiao or Guanshan Restaurant, and his purpose of approaching Song Wuya and Bai Zhuo was nothing more than to get some silver taels from them.To put it bluntly, this guy is a charlatan.
The result was unexpected, leaving Song Wuya helpless.
Tong Shuming continued to ask: "How did you know the identities of the two of them?"
"This..." Yang Liuxiang hesitated immediately, looked around, and muttered.
"Speak quickly! How dare you hide anything in front of me?" Seeing Yang Liuxiang's appearance, Tong Shuming immediately dropped his gavel and questioned heavily.
Yang Liuxiang was stunned, and hurriedly kowtowed a few times: "Reporting to the magistrate, there is a young man who I don't know, who gave me some money, and told the young man that these two people are imperial envoys. Come and report to the officer."
"Oh? So, you were also ordered by someone?" Tong Shuming looked at Yang Liuxiang and asked coldly.
Hearing this, Song Wuya didn't wait for Yang Liuxiang to answer Tong Shuming's question, and immediately asked again: "I ask you, what are the characteristics of the person who asked you to report to the government?"
"This..." Yang Liuxiang was obviously extremely flustered at the moment, and he hesitated again after listening to Song Wuya's culture.
Tong Shuming was watching from above, focusing on Song Wuya, but he didn't interrupt Song Wuya's question.
After Yang Liuxiang hesitated for a moment, he looked left and right at Song Wuya and Bai Zhuo with livid faces, then raised his head to look at Tong Shuming, the magistrate, who also had a normal expression, and then said: "That man has a traitorous face, with a smug face. Hu. Height..."
With just these two sentences, Song Wuya looked at Bai Zhuo, and Bai Zhuo also gave him a look.
In just a short eye contact, the two have already exchanged information in their hearts.Apparently they all thought that the person Yang Liuxiang was talking about was none other than the mustache they had seen in Guanshan Restaurant.
In this way, the whole thing has been coherent. Song Wuya raised his head to look at Tong Shuming after the case, his expression became more and more gloomy.
"How did this person know the identities of these two adults?" Tong Shuming continued to ask Yang Liuxiang.
This time Yang Liuxiang was completely panicked: "Master Zhifu, I don't know! The little one was greedy for a moment, and that's why I did such a thing. The little one is willing to hand over all the money, and I hope the prefect will not punish you." Little one!"
"You didn't do anything wrong, and you did it very well. However, according to the regulations of our court, the people sue the officials, this board is indispensable." Song Wuya smiled slightly and said indifferently. "However, I miss you because I was bewitched by others, so I plead for you." Song Wuya raised his head and looked at Tong Shuming as he spoke, "Master Tong, why don't you take this punishment for my own sake."
"Lord Song, you really love the people!" Tong Shuming sneered: "However, I have an iron law in the law. Even if Master Song pleads for mercy, I'm afraid I can't give Master Song this face. However, I want to I want to remind Mr. Song. At this time, if you want to use this to win the favor of the people, it may be too late, right?"
"Oh? Then I really appreciate Master Tong's reminder, I really didn't expect this." Song Wuya said indifferently.
Hearing this, Tong Shuming didn't continue to talk about irrelevant things with Song Wuya, but his face turned serious: "Song Wuya, I will ask you again now, now that you have met the plaintiff, what else do you have to say? ?”
Good guy, this Tong Shuming didn't even call Master Song, and called Song Wuya by his first name.
"Presumptuous!" Bai Zhuo shouted angrily, pointed at Tong Shuming and shouted, "Tong Shuming, what is your identity! Master Song's name is taboo, but you called it directly?"
Song Wuya waved his hand: "Brother Bai, that's all. Now we are nothing more than criminals in the eyes of Mr. Tong. Since Mr. Tong asked this, I should just say it straight! This Lai Mingcang is the villain I suspect. The traitor of the party, I lured him in with money just to investigate him. Now, Mr. Tong should investigate this person clearly first, right? If his identity is confirmed, then the official will be cleared Suspected?"
