Yang Baxian's younger brother rushed forward and separated the two people. The cockfighting man stood up. People couldn't tell the expression on his face or what he was thinking. He said, "We are all neighbors. Let's talk to each other if we have something to say." , Why do you want to fight or kill someone?"
Seeing that there were many people around him, this middle-aged man didn't care whether these people were my enemies or mine. It was not unusual for people to come and go nearby, so he pointed at the younger brother who was grabbing him and cursed: "You bitch" The wild bird, my grandma’s, is pestering me to say that I stole your jade pendant. Ask the neighbors, I have been here for decades and have a good reputation. How many times have you ever done this kind of thing?"
When Yang Baxian's younger brother saw that everyone present was one of his own, the time had come, and he became jealous and said angrily: "You said you didn't steal my jade pendant, do you dare to let me search you? If not, I will ask you I apologize, if there is any, hehe..."
This middle-aged man didn't know that he had been tricked. He didn't do anything wrong and wasn't afraid of ghosts knocking on his door. How could he find a jade pendant on his body when he had never done anything wrong? It was time to hit him hard, so without thinking too much, he said: "Come and search, if you can't find anything I will charge you with false accusation!"
The cross-eyed man said kindly: "Brothers, let's be honest. Brother, I'm a stranger to you two. I'll be your witness. I'll be the judge of this matter. Can you please tell me?"
"Okay!" The two people said in unison.
Liang Chuan was hiding in the dark and saw clearly that this gang of people were tricking people in one go, and they did it flawlessly. They were worthy of being professional gangsters on the street. I don't know if these people were brought out by Yang Ba first, or they were the subordinates of Yang Xing, the original gangster leader in Fengxing. , if there is no means, they will be eaten until even the bones and dregs are left. Liang Chuan's spine is chilled by the scorching heat.
Not only Yang Baxian's younger brother, but also many passers-by stopped to watch and join in the fun. Xinghua was too young and didn't usually have much fun. It was rare to see such a good show.
Cross Eyes first said to Yang Baxian's younger brother: "Tell me first, what are the characteristics of your jade pendant?"
The younger brother said: "My jade pendant is handed down from my ancestors. There is only one peony engraved on it. The jade pendant is completely white and about the size of an egg. You can recognize it as soon as you take it out!"
"Well, it is indeed rare to have a peony engraved on it. Most grown men will not wear this kind of jade pendant except for family members. Brother, can you let me look for it now? We just want to be clear about it." The cross-eyes encourage the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man Mo accepted his statement and raised his hands, "Search and let me see what you can find!"
The cross-eyed man pretended to search from his armpits, along his ribs to his chest. After picking at it for a long time, he took out the jade pendant from his arms with a shocked look on his face and said, "This...this...take a look for yourselves." .”
Everyone came forward to take a look. This jade pendant was all white and fat, and was just over an inch in diameter. It was exactly the size of an egg. The most incredible thing was that a peony was engraved on it!
The middle-aged man knew it was over as soon as he saw it. The yellow mud fell out of his pants and it was either feces or feces. His face turned from red to green, and from green to black, just like a dyeing workshop, which was exciting.
He grabbed Cross Eyes and realized that he had been tricked, but it was too late and he could only shout angrily: "You framed me!"
The cross-eyed man smiled, and with a lot of strength in his hand, he opened the hand he held on to her with fingers one by one, and said gloomily: "Brother, I thought you were kind-hearted, and I wanted to help you seek justice, but I didn't expect that you have a beastly heart. He is so dirty, he not only steals people’s jade pendants, but also bites people when he sees them, which is a waste of my good intentions!”
Now everyone refused, "You are the one who stole the jade pendant as expected!" The younger brother who pretended to have lost the jade pendant was the first to take action. He grabbed the jade pendant and then gave the middle-aged man a black tiger blow to his heart. It bowed like a prawn.
"Beat him for stealing!" The middle-aged man couldn't argue now. He had all the stolen goods. The jade pendant found on him in front of everyone couldn't be denied even if he tried to deny it. A group of gangsters added insult to injury, beat the drowned dog, and greeted him with all kinds of fists and kicks. These people were used to having black feet, and they hit the forearms, thighs, and lower limbs where the pain nerves are most densely distributed.
A middle-aged man was beaten in front of his house. Neighbors came out to rescue him, but when they saw the vicious look of this group of men, with tigers, leopards, dragons and phoenixes tattooed on their hands and feet, they were so frightened that their eggs shrank into their abdominal cavities. Someone who dares to stand up.
The middle-aged man's wife heard her man's shouting. When she came out, she saw that the man had been beaten black and blue and was being held up by two people. Now there was no sound of shouting. Others were still beating him violently.
"Why are you beating my man!" The woman cried and rushed out to fight the gang. A gangster slapped the woman, knocked her to the ground, and spit on her face, " Your man stole someone else's jade pendant, and now we have to send him to prison!"
The man was beaten to a pulp, and was dragged to the county government office like a dead dog by two men. Yang Baxian cupped his hands towards Liang Chuan and said, "You can come out now."
Liang Chuan smiled bitterly and shook his head, "You guys are very familiar with scheming people and setting traps for others. If someone is studying, you are just trying to trick them."
"Thank you, you're not bad either. I've fallen into your hands too." Yang Baxian admired Liang Chuan so much that he couldn't do anything else but because he could cure his sister and destroy his own. Gambling stalls, and then pretending that everything had never happened, this kind of city is beyond the reach of a street gangster like him.
Liang Chuan adjusted his mentality, squeezed the expression on his face, ran out in a hurry, caught up with the gangsters, stopped them, and asked with an innocent look on his face: "Brothers, are you going to kill these guys?" Where are you taking me?"
The gangster's acting skills were also very good. Someone stood up, pushed Liang Chuan away, and shouted to Liang Chuan: "Get out of the way, this man stole a jade pendant, and we are about to send him to justice! Are you not his relative or friend, want to fight with him?" Is he excused?"
"Okay, you are a thief who commits crimes every day, and you even falsely accused my brother of building a stove and burning the sky to prevent it from raining. You go to the county government office with me, and you can talk to the county magistrate about it!" Liang Chuan said generously! , bursting into tears, wanting to tear this middle-aged man apart.
"He is indeed a traitor. What does it have to do with the stove if it doesn't rain? Brothers, don't be afraid that this birdman has done many evil things. Let's go to the county government together!" A group of people dragged the middle-aged man. The middle-aged man glanced at Liang Chuan. How could he recognize Liang Chuan? , but he knew about building a stove to burn the sky. A few days ago, a foreigner came to build a stove in the local area. He set up a fight and beat him like he was today. He was also sent to the county jail. Damn it, I didn’t read the almanac when I went out today. Did old and new hatreds come together? .
Xinghua County Government Office, the drums at the entrance were roaring. People from all over heard that the magistrate went to court today to interrogate a strange case of a foreigner who built a stove to burn the sky and stole a jade pendant. This is really a strange case for the ages. The people of the county were moved by the news. , spread the word, and came from all directions to surround the Xinghua County Government Office.
Song Guangdou was shocked when he went up to the hall to see what day it was. The whole court was crowded with people. Old men, aunts, rogues, and scholars. There were all kinds of people in the hall. There was not even a place to stay. People were whispering to each other and talking about today. case.
The audience scanned again. Isn't this Liang Chuan from Fengshan? Why is today's case also related to him? Liang Chuan followed the others and knelt down in the hall. According to Song Dynasty rules, anyone without fame and honor should kneel down in front of the hall. Liang Chuan secretly raised his head from time to time, glanced at himself, and smiled at himself. This scene was very familiar to him. Last year, he tried the same man in the Sanfu case, but at that time he was still a prisoner suspect.
Magistrate Song patted the gavel wood with a soft and loud sound, and the officials in the squad room shouted in unison: "Mighty!" The water and fire sticks hit the ground with a majestic momentum, and the sound spread throughout the hall into silence.
"Who is kneeling in the hall?" Magistrate Song asked.
"My lord, Yang Fa, the villain, caught this man on the street, stole the treasures and jade passed down from his family, and got both the stolen goods and the stolen goods. I and dozens of people were present to witness this. This old man was the middleman at the time. He personally stole the money from this guy. A jade pendant was found on his body, and there is irrefutable evidence. I came here to ask the county magistrate to arbitrate." After saying that, he pushed out his cross-eyes. The best thing about his cross-eyes is that people can't see his expression clearly, whether it's a sign of malice or a sneer. Lying on the ground, he said: "That's right...that's right."
Magistrate Song glanced at the person who had stolen the jade pendant lying on the ground. He had already been beaten to death by lynching. This case was still a trial. He glanced at Liang Chuan again and asked proactively: "He Lusanlang, why did you come to my house?"
"Sir, this is what I did here today!" Magistrate Song saw a large group of street thugs in the audience with a look of unruly expression. Looking at what happened today, he couldn't help but frown. He had heard about it. Wu Renyi's son led people to find trouble for this kid. He didn't get any advantage and was beaten badly. He went to the Three Treasures Hall today for nothing, I'm afraid things won't be that simple.
"You're lying down in the hall. I'm asking you a question. Sit up quickly and answer. Otherwise, I'll punish you with contempt of court!" Magistrate Song slapped the tree again, and the middle-aged man groaned. Only then could he get up. He was beaten so badly that he could only kneel down and groaned: "Sir, grass... grass people... the name of the people in the west of Xinghua City is... Zhong Liang."
