Sir?
No way, it’s actually another official lord!
But, this lord is too young! It didn’t look like he was only fifteen or sixteen years old!
The surrounding crowd of onlookers were in an uproar, their eyes were almost spitting out, they couldn’t believe their eyes, as if the sun had come out of the west.
One second he was the dilettante they were laughing at, but the next second he turned into a government official! From a dolt to a government official, the difference was too great. Everyone couldn’t accept it for a moment, but the facts were there for them to believe.
The official ultimatum that Zhu Pingan had just pulled out was not unfamiliar to them, just now that bullish fifth-grade Tongzhi Lord had pulled it out once; although they couldn’t distinguish the authenticity of the official ultimatum, but the officials who often came into contact with these things could surely distinguish it, and the two officials knelt down on the spot.
One of the biggest reaction than on the boat and Zhu Pingan live in the same cabin of the old man, the old man has been Zhu Pingan as going to Yingtian Province to participate in the examination of the scholar, last night in Zhu Pingan reading by candlelight, the old man also his nephew as an example of a lot of catching up on the experience it. As a result, I never thought, that is what the examination of the scholar ah, people are already the official master!
Heavens, how old is this young man?
However, thinking of the scene of Zhu Pingan reading by candlelight at night, the old man was even more admiring, no wonder he was young and already an official, based on the young man’s strength of this effort to be worthy of, God rewards hard work ah.
Zhu Pingan’s side of the change, the governor of Chun’an once again attracted over. Although the governor of Chun’an is not a soft and hard man, but the most basic courtesy in the officialdom still can not be ignored.
Seeing each other’s salute, Chun’an Zhixian behaved the same way as he just did in front of Lord Tongzhi, the whole person stood as straight as ever, only slightly arching his hand.
“Dare I ask this lord, what is the basis for what he just said?”After the Chun’an Magistrate greeted him, he did not drag his feet for even a moment, and straightforwardly asked Zhu Pingan a question.
This was also what the crowd was concerned about, at this moment, everyone’s eyes were focussed on Zhu Pingan. That’s right, why ah, what’s the basis ah. Can’t be because you’re an official, you say people are murderers, people are murderers, mouth say no proof ah, always have to come up with some evidence ah.
The attention of all the people is just like that.
In the face of the governor and the eyes of the crowd, Zhu Pingan did not hang everyone’s appetite, turned his attention to the boatman Wang Gui.
“Your Honour, unjustly accused, I am unjustly accused.”Under Zhu Ping An’s gaze, Wang Gui, the boatman, knelt on the ground and cried out in vain, as if he had suffered a great injustice, but his eyes were a little evasive, not daring to meet Zhu Ping An’s eyes.
Looking at Wang Gui’s pompous performance, Zhu Pingan slightly shook his head, walked up to him and faintly asked, “Do you remember what you shouted in the morning when you went to Master Zhang’s house to call for the door after you had long awaited Master Zhang’s failure to arrive?”
“When calling the door?”Boatman Wang Gui was stunned.
“Yes, can you still remember?”Zhu Pingan nodded.
“Lady Zhang, Lady Zhang, open the door ……”Boatman Wang Gui did not know what Zhu Pingan meant by asking this and subconsciously said it.
Hearing Wang Gui’s words, Zhu Pingan nodded, then turned to look at the Chun’an Magistrate and slightly arched his hand, “That’s why I called him a murderer.”
Ha?
The crowd of onlookers were bewildered.
What is this, what is all this, just based on one sentence to conclude that the boatman Wang Gui is a murderer ah. It’s a very common call to the door, how normal ah.
Blackmail, there must be blackmail, this is not blackmail, then what is blackmail!
The word “official” has two mouths. The poor don’t fight with the rich, and the people don’t fight with the officials! Hey, these officials ah, say yes, say no, say no, say what is what, inverted black and white refers to the deer for the horse, is the suffering of our people ah.
People boatman Wang Gui generations in the riverside life, wind and rain sun, in order to live hard.
Look at what Zhang Wang’s, wearing gold and silver to eat and drink, the whole person with the heat of the vixen like, hooking up! She’s not a good person at all.
But this little lord said the murderer was Wang Gui, the boatman, just based on a knock on the door! A good man suffers when he encounters these unruly officials! It’s true what they say, the court door opens to the south, so don’t come in without money.
The onlookers were sighing with discontent.
After listening to Zhu Pingan’s words, the governor of Chun’an turned his attention to Wang Gui, who was kneeling on the ground, after pondering for a few seconds.
“Your Honour, you are the parent official of our Chun’an, you have to be the judge for me ah Your Honour, I’m not convinced, I’m not convinced ah Your Honour.”Boatman Wang Gui knelt on the ground, knee to knee several steps to Chun’an governor’s feet, and then picked up the governor’s thighs, bawling in aggravation.
“Disobedient?”Zhu Pingan lowered his head and looked at Boatman Wang Gui.
“I am not convinced.”Boatman Wang Gui nodded his head vigorously, his eyes weeping with tears, so aggrieved.
The crowd of onlookers watched and felt both heartbroken and angry, heartbroken for the bitter man Wang Gui, angry at the dog official for killing people and calling a stag a horse.
“Good, in the morning you waited for a long time by the river and did not arrive, why did you go to Master Zhang’s house to call the door ah?”Zhu Pingan nodded, then squatted his body to look at Wang Gui and asked.
“We had an appointment, this morning I sailed the boat to send Grand Master Zhang to Yingtianfu, Grand Master Zhang was late and didn’t come, so of course I went to Grand Master Zhang’s house to tell Grand Master Zhang to get on the boat.”Boatman Wang Gui looked aggrieved, his voice was tinged with grief.
“Oh, the person you are looking for is Grand Master Zhang ah.”
Zhu Pingan nodded, his voice as flat as ever, but the next sentence was stern and stern, suddenly increasing his voice, “Since you’re looking for Grand Master Zhang, then why did you call the door but call out for Madam Zhang?”
Ah?
Zhu Pingan this questioning, like a thunderbolt, a word of truth directly hit the vitals, boatman Wang Gui forehead cold sweat leaking, all of a sudden sat down on the ground.
Onlookers have a part of the crowd at the moment suddenly realised, but more people are still a blank, for the straight and narrow is still a black eye, completely unintelligible. At this time the part of the people who suddenly realised, they were very accomplished and proactive in explaining to the people next to them as a teacher.
The scene was buzzing with people exchanging words and looking at Zhu Pingan with a bit of awe.
“This means that you know that Eldest Master Zhang is not at home, so you are calling Lady Zhang! You knew that Grand Master Zhang was not at home, yet you still went to Grand Master Zhang’s house to ask him to come aboard! It’s a good way to catch a thief by shouting, but you revealed yourself when you called the door! You’re the murderer of Master Zhang! Speak up! Where is Master Zhang? Don’t blame this official for not reminding you, if you delay the duties of the Tongzhi and this official, it will be an additional offence!”
Zhu Pingan got up and looked down at the boatman Wang Gui with a serious face.
The onlookers at the scene all came to a realisation, there was a roar of applause, for Zhu Pingan the young adult is not simply impressed, before and after the contrast, the senses are even stronger. Originally thought that people are dilettantes, is for the harm of the people of the dog official, but I did not expect people with a simple sentence on the case of the people seem clueless, everyone listened to the words of the parties, but only the people of the small adults to see the light of the day, as if to see the fire, all of a sudden solved the case.
No wonder he became an official at such a young age, he is really powerful.
What Qingtian in the world, Bao Zheng again, God break, etc., are in these onlookers mouth praise shouted out.
At this moment, the boatman Wang Gui has long been Zhu Pingan a series of questioning down the psychological defence, the whole person paralyzed on the ground, and at this moment to withstand the onlookers spit, where there is still the idea of denial, the whole person as a hen in the water, a word a truth to tell the case, and then in the official escort to the riverside of a forest, in the woods of a withered place to dig out the murder of the old man Zhang.
The moment the murdered Master Zhang was found, the onlookers’ admiration for Zhu Pingan reached its peak.
