"Then I will ask everyone one by one now.
Su Xiao held a small notebook and bit the tip of the brush in her small mouth, as if worrying about how to write. This matter was only half a business matter, and half was actually just Su Xiao's intervention because he felt sorry for the sister-in-law of the Niu family.
Finally, I finally wrote the words "A small note on the twenty-seventh day of the twelfth lunar month in the 30th year of Yuan Sheng" on it. The villagers nearby were amazed when they saw it.
“This little girl’s handwriting is quite beautiful.
"It's nice to look at, but I don't recognize any of them. They're all round, like paintings."
Lidya Su's face turned red when she heard this. Su Xiao has read books and learned to write since she was a child. However, there are mostly women in the family, and most of the writing skills are taught by their mothers. Therefore, Su Xiao's handwriting is graceful and graceful, and it is clear and elegant, rather like a woman's handwriting. As soon as Su Xiaotou returned to the Sixth Gate, Liu Yuan saw him signing the contract and pestered him. Since then, Su Xiao has learned from the experience and started writing in regular regular script. Only the original habits have not changed, and they still look mellow. When the villagers said this, they were immediately a little embarrassed.
Su Xiao coughed twice: "Ahem, I want to ask Mrs. Niu, why did you come to the Yamen of the Ministry of Justice to complain about injustice? As soon as you entered the Yamen, you cried out blindly, what on earth were you talking about?" What happened to your husband? Why did you say he was detained and not released?
Sister-in-law Niu looked at this 'official girl' who was so beautiful and elegant, with a kind and gentle tone, and she was already very fond of her. Although I think she is still young, this attitude is not something ordinary people can have after all. So he began to explain the whole story.
"The thing...this...my man's surname is Niu, and his name is Niu Shuanzi. We are all outsiders, from Daniu Village in Zijin County. These are the folks from Daniu Village. Two months ago, because of the slack season, the land There was nothing to do here. The man in my family was thinking of going to the capital to find some livelihood. Not long after I arrived, he wrote back and said that he had found a job, working as a small worker in a martial arts gym. I thought something was wrong. The martial arts gym is rich and good. But the men there are all martial arts practitioners. My man is a rough man and a real person. Even if he offends the master in the martial arts school, he can’t bear a beating. At that time, he was asked to find another job. . But I didn’t expect that the reward from this martial arts school was really large. I sent five taels of silver to my family all of a sudden. It was said that the people from the martial arts gym asked him to compete with others. After one fight, he would get one or two taels of silver. Earn money."
Lidya Su's heart moved slightly when she saw her expression change when she said this. Sister-in-law Niu is from the country, and it is true that she has a taboo about having too much money in such a public place. But her expression was not only uncomfortable, but also deeply panicked. Probably the money given by the martial arts school was more than five taels of silver.
But at this point, the matter of Niu Shuanzi's black boxing can be said to be very clear, it is indeed true. Based on Su Xiao's understanding of the capital market. Even if you hire a martial artist from a top martial arts gym, your monthly salary is only a few taels of silver. Niu Shuanzi was just an ordinary farmer, how could he earn such a huge salary in a short period of time. The martial arts gym he was in must be an underground martial arts gym.
However, underground fighting is not illegal and cannot be criminalized.
So she didn't say what she was thinking. Su Xiao asked Sister Niu to continue talking.
Sister-in-law Niu recalled while crying: "Our whole family was very happy after making money. My man is the most family-oriented person. He would send letters back every few days, but then there were fewer and fewer letters. In the end, there was no news for two decades. . I was anxious and scared at home, and was thinking about whether to go to the capital to look for him. Then I received a notice from the Shuntian Prefecture Yamen, saying that my man was not in the capital, but at the martial arts hall in Wuhua County. , black boxing, and other underground martial arts competitions. After two months, he is still quite famous.
Lidya Su sighed secretly in her heart. The case that the emperor assigned to Su Xiao to solve was about the recent rise of underground martial arts competitions. Therefore, the files given contain many past cases. Su Xiao has read a lot and is considered to be half-fluent in black boxing. In an ordinary underground martial arts hall, you can raise martial arts masters, and at the same time, you can also put up signs to wait for challenges from martial arts giants.
But for black boxers in underground competitions, the most profitable thing is not winning or losing, but the odds of the audience. When a black boxer's odds increase but he loses miserably, the martial arts gym will naturally make money, and its boxers will also benefit. Therefore, there are also people who raise their own status and find someone from outside to pretend to be a martial arts competition. The martial arts hall allows him to win consecutively until the odds are so high that he can defeat him severely and earn a lot of money from the audience.
Niu Shuanzi was most likely hired to be this sitter because he was a foreigner. But he is honest, dishonest, hypocritical, and weak. Why are you looking for him?
Sister-in-law Niu cried loudly: "My girl is wronged! My man is an honest man and will never fight in his life. He must have been framed. My man is wronged. Girl, you have to treat him well." Make the decision.'
Su Xiao smiled and said: "Sister-in-law Niu, don't worry. Let me explain to you. Although the court does not advocate underground martial arts competitions and black boxing, there is no express provision that this is against the law. In other words, black boxing is not illegal.
"Really?" As if grasping a life-saving straw, Mrs. Niu tightly grasped Su Xiao's slim arm and said directly: "Is he okay? Is he really okay? Then, when will he let go? Come out? The people in the Yamen said they are not even allowed to visit!'
"If he is found innocent, he will be released quickly. Fellow villagers, I want to ask you some questions now.
Su Xiao asked one by one and verified what Mrs. Niu said. It proved that what she said was basically the same as what these villagers knew, and there were no extraneous details.
The leader, Mao Dali, was cold
The minister gave me a slap, and my butt still hurts now. He raised his eyes and said, "Why are you asking so many questions? When will Brother Niu be released? You little girl, give me a happy word."
"The last question, if there is no problem, I will immediately go to Shuntian Mansion to ask for someone."
Su Xiao tried her best to keep a smile on her face so as not to let people see her inner trembling. She spoke calmly, tried her best to suppress her fear, and asked the last question.
"Sister-in-law, did your husband kill anyone during the two months of underground boxing matches?"
An hour ago.
“You’re going to find those villagers, right?
Leng Shangshu was busy writing at his desk, and there was only the sound of rustling writing in the quiet office. Without any warning, he asked this question to Su Xiao who was writing at the desk next door.
But Su Xiao was frightened out of her hand because Leng Shangshu was right. This was just a thought that passed through my mind just now. But I don’t know how to let him know.
"It's nothing." Leng Shangshu's hand didn't stop for a moment, as if he was just talking in his spare time, "Your eyes flickered. Ever since you met those villagers, you have been distracted. You couldn't sit still when you were writing, and you kept walking toward the door. Peeping. If I didn’t know what you were thinking, I could also say
Although Su Xiao was surprised, he knew that there were many strangers in the world, and the teacher Leng in front of him was one of the six masters of the country. With such ability, it was not too much.
"Teacher, since you are so judgmental about people, why don't you help them more? The aunt has lost her husband, and according to what they said, this matter is related to the Shuntian Mansion Yamen. We should ask about it anyway. The student just checked the past Case, it is not that the Ministry of Punishment has never taken over cases of people suing officials. Students believe that
"Xiaohan, remember your identity.
Leng Shangshu cut off Su Xiao's words. Although his tone was light, there was a kind of compelling majesty.
"You are my subordinate, my student, and you should not question my decision."
