Magistrate Shi nodded and said: "Master Xuezheng said that it is okay to be under the official position. I have allowed such an old stubborn to cause you trouble. Please forgive me, Master Xuezheng."

Hong Xuezheng was a third-rank official, two ranks higher than him, a fourth-rank prefect. Originally, after the results were released, it was he, the prefect, who should arrange a banquet for the scholars of Jinke and pay tribute to Confucius Xuezheng. But because of the affairs of the Tong family, Magistrate Shi was so busy that he had no time to sleep, and the banquet he had planned was not held. He had already neglected Kong Xuezheng, and now he was asked to handle such a mess. It was really... Magistrate Shi He cursed Cao Juren again in his heart.

Magistrate Shi suppressed the anger in his heart and said to his criminal master: "Master Lin, you go to Shen Tongsheng and bring the backup files of Yuan Jiaman, Fei's case, and Li's case to the court. Let's solve it quickly."

Linhe Prefecture is the capital of Jianghuai, and a copy of the major case files of each prefecture in Jianghuai will be copied and sent to Linhe Prefecture, so the Linhe Prefecture has files on the old Gu family's case. This dossier is evidence. If you take it out, you can stop Cao Juren's mouth. You don't have to argue with him anymore.

"Yes." Mr. Lin was so tired these days that his eyelids were clenched. He pinched his thigh to wake himself up from the pain, then he cupped his hands towards the two adults and went to Shen Tongpan to get the file.

Zhifu Shi and Kong Xuezheng also went to the court with several government servants and clerks.

Cao Juren was very excited when he saw Magistrate Shi. He immediately stood up and said, "Master Magistrate..."

But as soon as he called out to the magistrate, he was interrupted by Magistrate Shi: "The scribe has already recorded the confession for you. I will read the confession, so you don't have to say anything."

Cao Juren was about to make an impassioned speech when he was interrupted by Magistrate Shi. He was so depressed that his face turned green and he was very embarrassed. Taking advantage of his old age, he continued: "Master Magistrate, it's not that I want to rely on my old age to sell off my old age, but that we The head of Jianghuai's case, Xiao Sanyuanlang, cannot be an unfilial and poisonous grandson who murdered his own grandfather."

With a snap, Magistrate Shi was startled. He stared at Cao Juren with cold eyes and warned: "Cao Juren, although you are a Juren and an old man, you can't convict people with empty words. Name. You said that Gu Jinan plotted to kill Mr. Gu, do you have evidence? Without evidence, it is a false accusation. If it is serious, your reputation as a civil servant will be deprived of you. "

What Cao Juren cares most about is his reputation as a judge, and he was a little scared when he heard this. But when things have reached the current stage, he can no longer afford to lose, so he can only continue to hold on.

But Cao Juren really has no evidence to prove that Gu Jinan's family murdered Mr. Gu. He would say so because Tong San told him.

Tong San said that Mr. Gu's current whereabouts are unknown, and he is still alive. Then they can turn this unknown person into a murder plot, so that they can ruin Gu Jinan's reputation and take away his fame.

What they want is not to convict Gu Jinan of murdering Mr. Gu at all, but to ruin his reputation and future.

And the crime of murdering Mr. Gu's life and leaving Mr. Gu dead without seeing his body is much greater than the crime of being unfilial to Gu Jinan's family.

"Your Majesty the Prefect, although I have no evidence, there must be a reason for the groundless rumors. These words have actually spread. It must be the Gu Jin'an family who have done something. Please ask the Prefect to accept the case and investigate it thoroughly, so that I can do justice to the old man. ." Cao Juren said.

Magistrate Shi laughed angrily: "Cao Juren, you just rely on your words and ask me to send people to investigate the case without even a bit of evidence. Do you know how busy the government office is now? If everyone is like you, it's okay. I just want to ask the government office to investigate the case, and the government office has one hundred thousand government officials and its not enough!

He was so angry, what kind of old monsters are these? You just want to cause trouble for him when he is extremely busy, right? Can you let him go? He is now almost too busy with the Tongjia Iron Mine. He has no time to deal with such groundless things.

But Cao Juren felt that Magistrate Shi was favoring Gu Jinan, and became even more angry. He scratched his neck and said, "How can this be groundless? If it's not true, then how could Gu Jinan be so scared that he didn't show up?"

He pointed at Shang Xiucai in the hall and said, "If only his master comes forward, he must be too guilty to dare to come!"

"Sir, Gu Jin'an of He'an Prefecture wants to see you!" Gu Jin'an's loud voice sounded at the gate of the government office. He walked to the court with steady steps and held his head high, knelt down and said: "Students pay their respects to the prefect and to the academic administration. Sir, the student is late, please forgive me." He then said to Shang Xiucai: "The apprentice is late and has made the master suffer. The apprentice is unfilial."

Seeing him coming, Magistrate Shi and Kong Xuezheng breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Get up, you are already a scholar, there is no need to kneel down and worship."

Student, thank you for your kindness. Gu Jinan stood up, but did not sit down. Instead, he walked to Shang Xiucai and stood next to him. He did not even look at Cao Juren the whole time.

Cao Ju was very angry. This crazy man actually didn't take him as an old filial and honest man in his eyes.

He pointed at Gu Jinan and said: "You, the poisonous grandson who murdered my grandfather, why don't you kneel down quickly and apologize to heaven and earth!"

Gu Jinan looked at Cao Juren and shook his head with disappointment. This appearance made Cao Juren even more shameless. When he was about to curse Gu Jinan angrily, Gu Jinan said: "Cao Juren, although you are a senior, you always have to say something As for the evidence, lets let the evidence speak for itself. Theres no need to say anything else, because even if you say it, you wont believe it.

The implication is that I am too lazy to talk nonsense with him, an old stubborn man.

Cao Ju's popularity exploded, his eyes were red with grievance, and he felt that he was so disrespected.

When Cao Juren's students saw this, two prominent men looked at Magistrate Shi, and were about to speak when they were interrupted by the sound of a tree.

After two snaps, Magistrate Shi said: "Don't talk nonsense, let's look at the evidence."

With one sentence, Cao Juren's two students were so frightened that they shrank back.

Not long after, Shen Tongpan and Master Lin arrived with files. Magistrate Shi pointed at the files and said, "Cao Juren, take a look for yourself. The files on the old Gu family's case are here. The evidence is conclusive. Mr. Gu and Gu Youfus final whereabouts are also clearly written, and he was not murdered by Gu Jinans family, nor did he die without a body.

Cao Juren didn't believe it, so he led a group of students and began to look at the file carefully. They looked at it for an hour, and Magistrate Shi almost went berserk.

Finally, he couldn't help it anymore and said: "Song squad leader, Cao Juren and others have read it twice and they have seen it clearly enough. Put the file away."

He stared at the shocked Cao Juren again and said: "This is the government file. I have already shown it to you. Cao Juren must not push it too far."

Having even said that he would go further than he could, Cao Juren did not dare to ask for further reading.

But he still refused to give up, and said with a shameful face: "Prefect Shi, Mr. Gu is dead now but his body is not found. The government cannot ignore it. We must send someone to look for it, so as not to be harmed by some vicious wolf cubs!"

Magistrate Shi wanted to beat him when he heard this, and Old Master Yan San also wanted to beat him. Before he could even step through the gate of the government office, he raised his voice and said: "Cao Fangshan, you are a magistrate, but you have done such a shameless thing. , do you still have some sense of shame?!"
