People always think I'm a broken sleeve

It wasn't until seeing Zhong Liang put the clothes back on his body gently that Su Bian asked, "Can you pretend to be a ghost?"

Zhong Liang subconsciously shook his head, indicating that he couldn't, but seeing Su Bian's indifferent expression in front of him, Zhong Liang added weakly, "Although...although Xiaoliang can't, but...

...but Xiaoliang can learn! "

Su Bian didn't change his face, "It's not difficult."

While talking, Su Bian picked up the paper and pen in the master's room. After writing a few words, he put down the pen and handed the paper to Zhong Liang.

The latter took it subconsciously.

Su Bian said lightly: "Read the content on the paper ten times in front of the two of them's room."

When Zhong Liang heard this, he immediately looked down.

Only one sentence was written on the paper.

——I died so unjustly, today you slandered my mother in the hall, tomorrow night I will come to take your dog's life, and accompany me to the underworld.

Looking at the word Huang Quan, Zhong Liang couldn't help swallowing, his heart trembled.Just looking at the words in front of him, Zhong Liang couldn't help feeling a little creepy and terrified.

Zhong Liang looked away from the paper, and then asked again, "But my lord, in front of whose door is Xiao Liang going to read it ten times later?"

Su Bian replied: "The shopkeeper and waiter of the Spring Breeze Restaurant."

Zhong Liang was stunned for a moment, and then quickly understood, "During the case trial today, did the shopkeeper and waiter of the Spring Breeze Restaurant lie to you? So let Xiao Liang scare him now."

Are you scared? "

Thinking of the two of them daring to lie in front of Su Bian, Zhong Liang became angrier as he spoke, and his cheeks puffed up in anger.

On the other hand, the latter looked cold, "Stop talking nonsense and go to Chunfeng Restaurant."

As soon as he thought of venting his anger for his own adults, Zhong Liang immediately lost his fear.He stood where he was, and quickly answered yes.

Not long after Zhong Liang took the paper and left, someone knocked on the door again.Then, Yan Ruyu's voice sounded from outside the door.

Yan Ruyu said: "My lord, Gao An from the Gao Mansion asked for an interview outside the mansion, saying that he wanted to see Huo Zun for the last time."

Su Bian in the room twitched his eyebrows slightly.

...to see Huo Zun for the last time?

Su Bian in the room didn't respond, Yan Ruyu thought that Su Bian disagreed, so she said outside the door, "After Huo Zun is released tomorrow, if you want to meet, do you have to?"

What is more is opportunity.He insisted on meeting tonight, and he still said it was the last time.According to the servants, there must be something tricky.The slaves will never let them do what they want!This servant will send Gao An away

go back! "

Yan Ruyu turned around to leave, and was about to send Gao An away. At this moment, Bizhu ran out of the house in a panic, and even forgot to knock on the door, panting: "Master... my lord... how can you sell me?"

The girl who sang... threw herself into a well! "

Su Bian in the room paused.

Two seconds later, he slowly closed his eyes, raised his hand and pressed his temple.

Su Bian in the room didn't say a word, but Yan Ruyu outside the room exploded in an instant.

Yan Ruyu jumped up and said, "What?! She committed suicide by throwing herself into a well?! She hasn't avenged her Huan'er yet, how could she commit suicide so easily? No...I...I'm going to see...

... "

Yan Ruyu turned to leave, but Su Bian quietly opened her eyes and called her to stop.

Su Bian said, "Yan Ruyu, come in."

Yan Ruyu paused when she heard the words, she had no choice but to give up the idea of ​​going to have a look, and slowly pushed the door open and entered the room.

Yan Ruyu asked in a low voice: "...What orders does your lord have?"

Su Bian looked at Yan Ruyu and asked, "That day you lured Gao An into the yamen, did you apologize to him afterwards?"

When Yan Ruyu heard this, she immediately said confidently: "Then Gao An usually likes to molest women from good families, so that some girls dare not go out at all. The slaves are doing harm to the people."

, why do you want to apologize to him for his indiscriminate behavior? "

Su Bian summed it up simply, "In other words, never."

No matter how confident you are, it cannot change the fact that there is no apology.

Yan Ruyu lowered her head, her voice also lowered, "Yes..."

Immediately afterwards, Su Bian said with a blank expression: "Take ten jars of wine and give him an apology, and then take him to the prison."

Yan Ruyu was dissatisfied, "My lord, what kind of abuse—"

The latter seemed to ignore it, picked up a pen without saying a word, wrote something on a piece of paper, stamped it, and then handed the paper to Yan Ruyu with a cold face.

Yan Ruyu looked at the password to enter the prison that was stamped in front of her, the corner of her mouth twitched, her eyes turned slightly red.

Yan Ruyu took the password, then bowed and said: "Yes, my lord. The servants are going now..."

After finishing speaking, he left the master's room with an aggrieved face, and closed the door for Su Bian.

Su Bian stared at the direction Yan Ruyu left, and after a few seconds, he slowly looked away.

As the saying goes, telling the truth after drinking, if Huo Zun is given wine in such an open manner, it will definitely arouse the latter's suspicion.But if it is sent by Gao An's hand... the latter will not

But there is no doubt that Huo Zun, who is good at wine, will drink it without hesitation.

And to deliver the wine to Gao An naturally, the only way is for Yan Ruyu to make an apology.

In order to prevent Yan Ruyu's apology from being too hypocritical and purposeful, Su Bian did not tell Yan Ruyu the reason for the apology.

In the past few days, Su Bian has made up the records of Zhuang Duxin's previous trials in the master book room.Among them, Su Bian remembered very clearly.

——As long as the person accused pleaded guilty, even the emperor would not be able to overturn the case.

Outside the gate of Zhuang Mansion.

Gao An stood outside the gate of the Zhuang Mansion and waited for a long time, until Gao An thought that he would return without success tonight, the gate was slowly pushed open from the inside.

Yan Ruyu with slightly red eyes glared at Gao An viciously, and said, "My lord agrees, come with me."

Gao An looked at Yan Ruyu's reddish eyes, slightly surprised.But he was sensible and didn't ask anything, he obediently raised his foot and followed immediately.

... Now it's time to meet Brother Huo first.

Yan Ruyu led Gao An to the mansion, and Gao An behind him saw that Yan Ruyu didn't seem to be going in the direction of the prison, so he couldn't help asking: "...Miss Yan, we are going to the prison first.

See you adults? "

Yan Ruyu turned her head back, and gave Gao An a vicious look, "Is your lord someone you can see casually?"

Gao An came to the Zhuang Mansion to ask to see Huo Zun, because of asking for an interview, he could not help speaking with much weaker confidence than usual.

Gao An hesitated, "Then..."

Yan Ruyu turned around again, walked towards the kitchen with her head sullen, and said in a sleepy voice, "Go get the wine."

Gao An was inexplicable, "What are you doing with wine?"

Yan Ruyu's voice was aggrieved, and she said loudly: "My lord said that I lured you into the yamen last time and did not give you an apology. This time you happened to come to the Zhuang's mansion and asked me to give you ten jars of wine as compensation."

Li apologizes!After listening, are you satisfied? "

Gao An looked at Yan Ruyu's reluctance and aggrieved expression on his face, and he was convinced that Yan Ruyu was indeed telling the truth.

Gao An rubbed his nose, with a shy expression on his face, "Looking at your unreasonable appearance, I didn't expect you to be quite reasonable..."

Yan Ruyu muttered dissatisfiedly, "I actually want to apologize to a scumbag who molested good girls all day long, I'm so mad..."

Hearing Yan Ruyu's angrily muttering, Gao An, who didn't have any doubts at all, was even more convinced that Su Bian had indeed come to ask Yan Ruyu to apologize to him.

All of a sudden, Su Bian's indifferent and heartless image became humanized in Gao An's heart.

Gao An scratched his head and said uncomfortably, "I accept the apology, but this wine..."

Gao An thought that if he didn't bring anyone with him, he wouldn't be able to bring back even ten jars of wine.Besides, there is no shortage of wine in Gaofu, so I simply don't want it.

Before Gao An finished speaking, Yan Ruyu, who was walking in front, paused and said quickly, "You don't want wine?"

Gao An looked at Yan Ruyu who seemed to be overjoyed, and his voice stopped abruptly.

Yan Ruyu didn't wait for him to speak, and said directly: "It's better not to have wine, and it hurts me to see ten jars of wine given away for no reason. Since you don't want it, just go straight now."

Take it to the prison. "

Yan Ruyu turned around and left, Gao An looked at Yan Ruyu, who wished for him not to drink alcohol, and changed his mind in an instant.

Gao An changed his words, "No, I want it."

Yan Ruyu frowned, and subconsciously asked, "You can't take it back alone. Besides, your Gao family has a big business, and there is no shortage of these ten jars of wine."

Without even thinking about it, Gao An said, "I can go over and have a drink with Brother Huo now."

Yan Ruyu snorted, and subconsciously mocked: "Drink ten jars of wine? You are not afraid of your brother Huo..."

In the middle of speaking, Yan Ruyu's voice suddenly stopped.

Just when she was about to say, 'Brother Huo uttered the truth after drinking, and said something that shouldn't be said', Yan Ruyu had a flash of inspiration, and finally understood her lord's ulterior motives.

Just now she was still puzzled, after so many days in the case, why did the lord suddenly ask her to apologize to Huo Zun for his sloppy behavior, and even specially asked her to give ten jars to Gao An for his sloppy behavior?

liquor……

It turned out to be the case.

It turned out that it was all for Huo Zun to speak the truth after drinking.

Wow……

Her family's adults are far-sighted and resourceful, and they are simply extraordinary!

While worshiping her lord even more, Yan Ruyu suppressed the smug look in her eyes, said nothing, and brought Gao An to the wine room dedicated to drinking without saying a word.

Yan Ruyu said casually: "Choose ten jars at random."

Gao Ansui pointed to ten jars, then looked up at Yan Ruyu, and continued, "Can I trouble Miss Yan to move to the cell together?"

Gao An thought that according to Yan Ruyu's temperament, he would definitely refuse, but Yan Ruyu snorted coldly and agreed.

I saw Yan Ruyu lifted up a wine jar without saying a word, walked out of the wine room, and saw Gao An standing still in a bit of astonishment, so he urged impatiently: "Stand there and do nothing!"

What?Didn't you say you want to move the wine? "

Only then did Gao An come back to his senses, and he also picked up a jar of wine.

Gao An carried the wine and followed Yan Ruyu, completely puzzled that Yan Ruyu would agree.

He thought and thought, but still couldn't come up with an answer, and finally he had to conclude that this might also be Su Bian's order.

Soon all the ten jars of wine were moved to the gate of the prison, Gao An wiped off his sweat, and subconsciously thanked Yan Ruyu.

Yan Ruyu ignored him, walked directly into the prison, and said to the two guards guarding the prison: "He came to see Huo Zun, and he will leave soon, Your Excellency has already agreed."

The two yamen servants looked at Yan Ruyu, hesitant.

Yan Ruyu directly took out the password from her pocket and handed it to the two of them, "This is the signature and password of your lord."

After the two yamen servants took it, they found that it was indeed stamped with the county magistrate's seal, so they turned slightly sideways to make way for Yan Ruyu and Gao An.

Yan Ruyu didn't lift her foot to go in, she turned around and looked in Gao An's direction, and said coolly, "You can go in."

After all, he turned around and left.

Gao An glanced at the back of Yan Ruyu leaving without hesitation, and after looking away, he hurriedly took out two ingots of silver from his bosom and stuffed them into the bosoms of the two yamen servants.

Gao An laughed and said: "These two officials have worked hard to take care of Brother Huo these days."

If the money is from the past, the Yamen servants would dare to take it.

But now, no one dares to accept it.

The two yamen servants immediately shied away, "Don't, don't, Mr. Gao, I don't need this money."

Gao An looked at the silence of the two yamen servants, feeling a little inexplicable.But in the next second, it became clear very quickly.

The two yamen servants said: "If our lord finds out this, it will be a disaster. Mr. Gao, please take it back."

Gao An recalled Su Bian's indifferent appearance in the hall, and after silently withdrawing the money, he couldn't help but patted the shoulders of the two yamen servants sympathetically.

Averting his eyes from the yamen servant, Gao An came to Huo Zun's cell door with a jar of wine in his arms.

Gao An smiled and said, "Brother Huo, look who is here?"

Huo Zun in the cell looked at Gao An standing outside the cell door with a very surprised expression, "...My dear brother? Why did my dear brother come here?"

Thinking of Mrs. Gao's serious order to him not to hang out with Huo Zun in the Gao Mansion before, Gao An's eyes flickered slightly, and he said a little unnaturally: "Suddenly want to see you

Brother Huo, just come over. "

Huo Zun raised his eyebrows, surprised, "Then Zhuang Duxin is willing to let my younger brother in?"

Gao An turned around on the spot and asked, "Didn't my brother come in already?"

Seeing Huo Zun, he laughed.

After laughing, Huo Zun glanced at the wine in Gao An's hand, and signaled with his eyes: "Is this wine specially brought for me?"

Gao An glanced at the wine jar in his hand, and replied with a smile without thinking, "That's right, Brother Huo finally came to see Brother Huo, how could you come here empty-handed?"

After hearing this, Huo Zun gave a long laugh, and sighed with relief: "The person who understands my son best is none other than my virtuous brother."

Gao An smiled slightly, "Brother Huo is serious. But this wine..."

Huo Zun raised his eyebrows and subconsciously asked, "How is this wine?"

Gao An originally wanted to tell Huo Zun the origin of the wine, but then he thought about it, he would drink it anyway, so where did the wine come from, and what was so important.

After thinking about it, Gao An quickly felt relieved.

Gao An shook his head and said with a smile, "It's okay."

Hearing Gao An say it's fine, Huo Zun, who was only thinking about drinking, didn't care, and didn't ask much.

Huo Zun got up, hurriedly walked to the prison door and sat down, said anxiously: "I haven't drunk for three days, I'm suffocating to death. Come on, don't talk much, drink quickly."

Gao An handed over the wine jar in his hand, and said, "Brother Huo, drink this jar first, and my brother will bring another jar, and we will drink together."

Huo Zun quickly took it, then waved his hand at Gao An, indicating that he understood.

At this time, in the master's room.

After Yan Ruyu left, she went directly to the door of the master's room.

Changing her aggrieved look when she left before, Yan Ruyu stood outside the door and said respectfully, "My lord, the wine has been delivered."

Su Bian in the room responded quietly.

Yan Ruyu asked again, "...my lord, when shall we go there?"

Su Bian in the room replied flatly: "Wait until they finish drinking."

the other side.

Spring Breeze Restaurant.

After Zhong Liang left the Zhuang Mansion, he followed Su Bian's instructions and came to Chunfeng Restaurant.

The shopkeeper's sleeping place is easy to find, but the shopkeeper needs to find a place to sleep.

In order to find the room where the shopkeeper slept, Zhong Liang went upstairs on tiptoe, pierced a small hole in the window paper of each room upstairs, and secretly looked to see if anyone was sleeping inside.

.

Since there were no customers in the Chunfeng Restaurant, Zhong Liang didn't have to worry about being bumped into.

Not long after, Zhong Liang finally found it.

It is the last room on the second floor.

The room was pitch black, and on the bed, there was something shivering on the bed, shivering.If there is no accident, it is probably the shopkeeper.

The content on the paper before was very simple, just one sentence, so Zhong Liang has already memorized it completely, and now there is no need to read it from the paper.

Zhong Liang squeezed his voice, and said slowly, "I... died so unjustly... Today you slandered my mother in the hall... Tomorrow night... I will come to kill you... accompany me

Up and down the Yellow Springs..."

The person curled up on the bed in the room trembled.

After the first time, Zhong Liang began to 'recite' the second time.

Zhong Liang opened his mouth and said: "...I died so unjustly...today you slandered my mother in the hall...tomorrow night I will come to take your dog's life...to go to hell with me..."

The night is silent, and the night is as cool as water.

In the pitch-dark room, only the cry of grievances could be heard in the ears.

During the first time and the second time, the shopkeeper in the house was still trying to comfort herself that she had heard it wrong, and that she had an auditory hallucination.But at the third time, she couldn't hold it anymore.

The shopkeeper curled up under the blanket and cried.

The shopkeeper's voice trembled: "Huan... Huan'er... the shopkeeper... the shopkeeper also has difficulties...the magistrate ordered, who dare not obey..."

Zhong Liang outside the house continued to 'read'.

Fourth time.

The shopkeeper: "The shopkeeper was wrong...I was wrong...I...I will burn paper money for you tomorrow...Huaner, you can bypass the shopkeeper this time..."

Fifth time.

The shopkeeper: "Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo..."

Sixth time.

The shopkeeper: "Huan'er, I was wrong... The culprit is the wrongdoer, the debtor is the owner...you go to Huo Zun and the magistrate to ask for your life...they...they are the culprits who killed your mother—"

Seventh time.

……

Tenth time.

The shopkeeper: "I... I'll go to the yamen tomorrow to tell the truth... Don't read it... Woooo... Stop it... I beg you... I kowtow to you!"

After all, the shopkeeper threw off the quilt like a broken pot, knelt down on the ground, and kowtowed vigorously.

Outside the door, Zhong Liang, who had successfully recited ten times, left quietly.

After the shopkeeper's 'task' was completed, Zhong Liang came to the backyard of the restaurant, and it didn't take long to find the room where the waiter was.

Zhong Liang began to hold his throat and continue to read. '

Zhong Liang opened his mouth and said: "I died so unjustly... Today you slandered my mother in the hall... Tomorrow night... I will come to kill you... Come with me to the underworld..."

When "reading" came to Huangquan, Zhong Liang played on the spot and laughed sinisterly.

The clerk in the shop was much less courageous than the shopkeeper, Zhong Liang smiled sinisterly, and the legs of the clerk who was afraid to sleep in the room went limp all of a sudden.

The waiter fell from the bed and fell to the ground. He hid in the corner and said tremblingly, "I... I can't do anything... If I don't lie...the prefect will kill me...

I... I dare not refuse!Lord, please forgive me! "

...after the second pass.

The waiter in the shop cried: "I was wrong... The little one was wrong... Tomorrow the little one will go to the adults to tell the truth... The little one won't dare anymore... The little one doesn't want to die yet... I beg you, the big one...

There are a lot of people, let's let the small ones go—”

The cry of the waiter in the shop begging for mercy was heard outside the door, but it was a pity that what Su Bian asked was to 'recite' ten times, so Zhong Liang continued to recite.

After Zhong Liang finished "reading" ten times and left, the waiter in the house was so frightened that he passed out.

At the same time, Huo Zun and Gao An were drinking.

Gao An took a sip, Huo Zun took a jar, and after finishing the ten jars of wine, just like last time, half of the jars went into Gao An's stomach, and Gao An drank the rest.

Gao An still had a little bit of consciousness left. He looked at Huo Zun, couldn't hold back his words for a moment, and said, "Tonight...that girl who sells singing...she committed suicide by throwing herself into a well..."

Huo Zun said lightly, obviously not paying attention.

Gao An looked at Huo Zun, who didn't care about the death of the singing girl, and said, "Two lives... Brother Huo... don't you feel guilty at all?"

Ever since he lied in the hall during the day and blamed everything on the singing girl, Gao An has been feeling uncomfortable until now.

I can't forget it for a long time.

Huo Zun, who had drunk the jar of wine, was obviously drunk.

He hiccupped and said casually: "It's just a human life, what's there to worry about? Don't say that I killed her son... When the time comes, I'll go out, even if that

The bitch is not dead... this young master... hiccup... is going to kill her, and be buried with her son..."

When Huo Zun spoke, Gao An stared at Huo Zun dumbfounded, he was sober all of a sudden from the drunkenness just now.

Gao An couldn't believe it: "Huo...Brother Huo...do you know what you're talking about?"

Huo Zun didn't even think about it, he waved his hand and said, "I know... hiccup... I'm very sober..."

At this time, Su Bian's voice suddenly came from the side unexpectedly.

Su Bian said, "Have you written it down?"

Beside Su Bian, wearing men's clothes on the bed with a mustache, Yan Ruyu, who has reincarnated as the master and master, smiled slightly, held the paper and pen and said, "Master, I have written everything down."
