Don't you believe it?

Who do you think you are?

This is the account book of Gouyuan!

Everyone looked at Zhang Fei with a question mark on their face, especially when they saw Zhang Fei's resolute expression, they really wanted to go up and beat him up.

Why don’t you believe it?

Li Kai said: "Zhang San, this is the account book of the Gouyuan."

Zhang Fei said firmly, "But I also believe my source. There is absolutely no record of Mr. Zhou's tax payment in the account book of Gouyuan. Therefore, I think there is something wrong with that account book."

"The fun is about to begin." Su Shi said excitedly.

Su Zhe frowned and said, "Since they dared to bring the account book here, it proves that they are fully confident. Second brother, you should not be too happy too soon."

In fact, this was also what Lu Gongzhuo was thinking. These account books had been messed up like this, and it was difficult to determine their authenticity. So he handed the account books and a tax bill to Huang Gui, "Give it to him to have a look."

...

...

"yes."

Huang Gui took the account books and tax bills, and went to Zhang Fei's shed again, handing the account books and tax bills to Zhang Fei.

Zhou Cai, who was relaxed just now, was inevitably a little nervous at this moment. He felt guilty and also willful. He couldn't help but glance at the crowd. Many eyes were cast at him, and they all meant the same thing: calm.

We did it so perfectly that it was impossible to make any mistakes.

Sima Guang secretly glanced at Wang Anshi and saw that he also looked extremely nervous. He thought, it seems that he did not do anything wrong.

Zhang Fei took the account book and started to look it up. Xu Zhiqian also turned her head and started to look at it. Suddenly she said in surprise, "Wow! There really is a tax payment record for Mr. Zhou."

Then, she looked at Zhang Fei again, "Could it be that we really made a mistake?"

After hearing this, Huang Gui sighed secretly and said, "It's too late now that you realize it."

Shen Huaixiao and the others looked at Zhang Fei with a smile, expecting their hesitant and confused expressions.

Obviously, he was also deceived by Xu Zhiqian's acting skills, but this is not surprising. After all, Xu Zhiqian had deceived Zhang Fei with her acting skills.

There was no way. Xu Zhiqian had a father named Xu Zun. As his daughter, how could she survive without knowing some acting skills?

"No."

Zhang Fei frowned and shook his head, slowly turning the pages one by one. Suddenly, he raised his eyebrows, stared at a name on the account book, then tilted his head to look at Lu Gongzhe and said, "Prefect Lu, there is something wrong with this account book."

As soon as these words were spoken, Li Guozhong and others stood up immediately.

Is there a problem? Impossible, he can't possibly see it? Shen Huaixiao shivered all over, and beads of sweat fell down his cheeks.

Everyone in the audience held their breath, as if they could hear the sound of leaves falling to the ground.

Lu Gong asked, "What's the problem?"

Zhang Fei first replied: "This is the account book from two years ago."

Lu Gong nodded.

Zhang Fei said: "But there is a record of Geng Ming paying taxes."

Lu Gong was stunned, "Geng Ming?"

Many people present were also confused and did not react.

Who is Geng Ming?

But the name seems familiar.

Zhang Fei said, "Prefect Lu, have you forgotten that I once fought a lawsuit for Geng Ming?"

Lu Gong nodded woodenly, as if he had not yet reacted.

Zhang Fei said: "At that time, I had carefully investigated Geng Ming's information. He was forced by Wei Yushan to sell his land and house three years ago and became a monk. He just got his land and house back this year. In other words, his tax payment record was at least four years ago, and it is impossible for it to appear in the account books of two years."

Zhao Yan, who personally tried Geng Ming's case, suddenly woke up from a dream and said, "Yes! There is no way there would be any record of Geng Ming's tax payment in the account book from two years ago."

When investigating this case, the details of Geng Ming and Wei Yushan were investigated very clearly.

Shen Huaixiao, Du Xiu and others looked at each other, confusion in everyone's eyes.

impossible!

How is this possible!

We clearly copied the account books from two years ago.

Of course, Lu Gongzhe also reacted, and was secretly delighted, saying, "Quickly bring it to me for a look."

Huang Gui quickly handed the account book to Lu Gong.

Lu Gong took a closer look and sure enough, it was written very clearly: Geng Ming, Baima Township.

Li Kai also stood up to take a look and was stunned. "Could this be someone with the same name?"

Without waiting for Lu Gong to speak, Zhang Fei said, "It is possible that someone has the same name and surname, but it is absolutely impossible for someone to have the same name and surname in the same town, village, and household. We did check at the time. There was only one Geng Ming in Banpo Village, Baima Township."

Lu Gong frowned, "What on earth is going on?"

Zhang Fei spread his hands and said, "I want to know what's going on, too. It's common for account books to be wrong, but why can Mr. Zhou's tax bills for two years match this wrong account book?"

Lu Gong couldn't help but frown and look at Zhou Cai.

Zhou Cai was no longer as calm and composed as before, and he explained in panic: "I don't know, I don't know anything."

Li Guozhong and others on the opposite side were even more dumbfounded.

Didn’t you say that everything is settled?

Logically speaking, it should have been done.

Otherwise, the tax payment records for this week would not be on it, but why is this happening?

They couldn't have made a mistake in the books.

this.

This is so embarrassing.

At this time, deafening whispers could be heard inside and outside the courtyard, showing how many people were talking about it.

This is really weird.

Lu Gong slammed the gavel and said, "Adjourn for now while I investigate this matter."

He then stood up and went back into the hall with the judges.

After entering the hall, Lu Gong said to Li Kai, "Li Tongpan."

"exist."

"Go to Gouyuan right away and find out what's going on."

"yes."

At this time, Li Kai's face was also covered in sweat.

This is a really big problem!

As soon as they entered the hall, there was a huge uproar of public opinion outside.

This is incredible.

Is it haunted?

Wei Yushan, who was watching the trial from outside the door, patted his chest several times. He felt very sorry for himself. Fortunately, he did not get involved, otherwise, he would be finished this time.

He was also a famous landlord in Kaifeng County, but because he pleaded guilty last time and voluntarily paid all the taxes, Wang Anshi had no way to trick him again.

Tang Ji was confused. He leaned forward and whispered, "There is no way there is anything wrong with the account book. When it was sent to Kaifeng Prefecture, our people checked it again."

Cao Han frowned and said, "Could it be that someone had tampered with it beforehand?"

"This is impossible, unless!"

Du Xiu was startled suddenly, as if he realized something.

The Gouyuan has always been under the control of the three departments. Except for the emperor, no one can hide from their eyes and ears and tamper with it.

Shen Huai's filial piety was all in a knot, "Don't say so much for now, send someone to go to Gouyuan to take a look."

"I'll send someone right away."

Du Xiu had just stood up, but suddenly sat back down with a pale face.

Shen Huaixiao asked, “What are you doing?”

Du Xiu blinked, then looked at Shen Huaixiao, “Now you can’t enter the Gouyuan anymore.”

"How can I not get in?"

Shen Huaixiao couldn't help but look horrified, and his right hand began to tremble uncontrollably.

It turned out that when the palace leaked, the emperor directly sent people to investigate, and since then, he had been keeping an eye on it, leaving no chance for any tampering.

Tang Ji panicked and asked, "What should we do now?"

what to do?

Shen Huaixiao and others suddenly felt that they were lambs to be slaughtered.

Su Shi suddenly nudged Su Zhe beside him with his elbow and said, "Third brother, should we consider moving to a bigger house?"

Su Zhe looked at Su Shi who was showing off and asked, "How much did you win, brother?"

"Two twenty-five strings of cash."

Su Shi answered without thinking, but as soon as he said it, he was stunned.

Su Zhe asked again: "How big a house do you plan to buy, second brother?"

"!"

Su Shi gritted his teeth and cursed: "Those profiteers."

Wang Anshi said proudly to Sima Guang: "This is what they call the vastness of heaven's net, which will not let anything slip through!"

Sima Guang stroked his beard, nodded and smiled: "Yes! This is really gratifying!"

Wang Anshi's expression froze, "Junshi, why are you so happy?"

Sima Guang said: "I, Sima Guang, have always been a man of facts, not people. I hate such illegal and disciplinary things. If I can find them out, I will be happy!"

As he spoke, he looked at Wang Anshi and said, "Jiefu, you are not trying to implicate me, are you? How can you be so vicious?"

Wang Anshi looked at Sima Guang with contempt, waved his sleeves and said, "Enough! Stop pretending here. You have no principles at all. It's really boring."

"strangeness!"

Fan Chunren frowned.

Qian Yi at the side asked: "What's so strange?"

Fan Chunren said: "Since Zhang San has such important evidence, why did he go to such trouble yesterday?"

"yes!"

Qian Yi pondered and said, "If he had directly produced this evidence yesterday, it would have been enough to establish

The victory is decided, why waste your breath? "

Fan Chunren thought for a moment and said, "Brother Qian, what do you think the purpose of this lawsuit is?"

Qian Yi was startled. "Taxes for tenant farmers."

Fan Chunren nodded.

"What are you looking around for?"

Xu Zhiqian saw Zhang Fei looking left and right and asked curiously.

Zhang Fei looked around and said, "Oh, I'm looking at how many people are involved. I have to be more careful in the future."

Xu Zhiqian rolled her eyes and said, "Alright, our purpose is not to investigate these matters. We want to help those tenant farmers. This is just the beginning, and there will be more fights to come."

Zhang Fei glanced at Li Guozhong and others across from him, "Look, they are all like dead dogs. What's next is purely my personal performance time."

Xu Zhiqian glanced at Li Guozhong and others opposite her, and saw that they all looked ashen, slumped in their chairs, and had lost their fighting power. She almost laughed out loud.

An hour later, Li Kai returned to Kaifeng Prefecture, gasping for air.

"Gou Yuan said that they made a mistake when they sorted out the account books. These are the account books for two years. That was five years ago."

"ah?"

Cen Yuanli and Yu Zaishen were both dumbfounded.

Can we still play like this?

Lu Gong took the account book and looked at it, but there was no record of Zhou Cai paying taxes.

Li Kai asked, "Prefect Lu, what should we do now?"

This is a big problem.

Even a fool would know that there must be someone cheating here, and he must be from a powerful background.

Lu Gong snorted and said, "They asked for it themselves. No one else can be blamed."

I thought to myself, humph, you think you can cover up the truth and deceive the world, but this time you will suffer.

Zhang Fei was already sitting in the chair and yawning. Of course, he was the only one in the whole audience who had such leisure and elegance. The others were already wiping their sweat and were almost dehydrated.

torment!

For many people present, this waiting process was undoubtedly a torment. They didn't even dare to get up and leave. Whoever left at this time would feel guilty!

finally!

Lu Gongzhuo, Li Kai and others walked out of the lobby and returned to their seats.

Everyone looked at Lu Gong.

Lu Gong looked directly at Zhou Cai, "Zhou Cai."

"The little one is here."

Zhou Cai trembled so much that he almost slipped off the chair.

Lü Gong picked up the tax bills and asked, "Where did you get these tax bills?"

Zhou was startled for a moment, and hurriedly said, "I got this by paying taxes."

"Asshole!"

Lu Gong slammed the gavel and said, "Just now, the Gouyuan has found out that when the Gouyuan officials were sorting out the account books, they made an error and accidentally bound the contents of the account book from five years ago together with the account book from two years ago. But how could the tax money you paid for two years be recorded in the account book from five years ago? Tell the truth now."

Every official present knew that such an operational error was impossible because the date would be written in front of the tax payment records of each township. So there was only one reason: the account books had been swapped in advance.

So the question is, how did the tax bills add up?

At this time, Zhou Cai's face was pale, and he kept saying mechanically: "I don't know, I don't know anything."

Many eyes around him were telling him bluntly that he had to take it all.

After you leave, I will take care of your wife and children!

"I don't know?"

Lu Gong snorted and said, "I see you really won't cry until you see the coffin. Come, take Zhou Cai out and give him twenty lashes of the cane."

Zhou Cai was so frightened that he shivered. Just as he was about to cry for mercy, Zhang Fei suddenly stood up and said, "Prefect Lu, regarding the account book, this is not within the scope of my lawsuit. I also reserve the right to sue them on behalf of Wang Xueshi. But now, I hope that this case can continue to be heard. This is fair."

Lu Gong frowned and thought to himself, I am trying a case and I still need you to give me instructions.

But on second thought, the issue of the account books must involve many people. If we continue the investigation along this line, the case may be delayed, which is really unfair.

At the same time, he was also very clear about who was behind Zhang Fei. Only that person could switch the account books. Even Wang Anshi did not have such ability.

Since Zhang Fei said so, it means that the emperor may not want to bring the matter of falsifying the accounts to court for trial.

Lu Gong nodded and said, "Since you ask me to do so, let's continue with the trial."

Zhang Fei added: "I hope the defendant Du Shaojing will be summoned."

This sudden surprise made Lu Gong stunned.

Zhou Cai is already a dead fish. If you don't grab him and beat him up, why do you want to spread the news to Du Shaojing?

It was reviewed yesterday.

But Lu Gong soon realized that Zhou Cai was already a dead fish. There was no point in interrogating him. He probably wouldn't answer anything you asked him. He could only hold on and wait to be rescued.

And Du Shaojing was so arrogant yesterday that he brought shame to the court for the whole morning. If Zhang Fei didn't get revenge, he would not be able to explain to his superiors.

Lu Gongzhu nodded and said, "First, take Zhou Cai away and summon Du Shaojing."
