Rise From the Humble

While everyone was pointing at the heads on the template to support Zhao Daying, Zhu Ping'an was also looking at the heads carefully.

Apparently, all fifty-nine heads had been replaced.

If it were just a simple change of hairstyle, it would be impossible to hide it from Liu Mu and Liu Dadao. It's impossible for your loved ones to not recognize you just because they change their hairstyle. They have all lived together for 20 or 30 years. If they are relatives of Liujiacun, no matter how outrageous their hairstyle is, they can still recognize them at a glance.

Sure enough, there was someone in the court who was good at serving as an official, and the archived heads could be changed at the drop of a hat. No wonder Zhao Daying was so confident. Anyway, someone is wiping my butt, so I'm afraid of the eggs.

Zhu Ping'an complained silently while observing the head.

"Wu Zuo, please inspect the head as soon as possible." The presiding judge Wang Xueyi urged Wu Zuo to inspect the head.

"As commanded."

The two men accepted the order. After soaking their hands in vinegar water for a while, they took out a series of tools such as scissors, candles, silver needles, and tweezers from the tool box and put them into the vinegar water in sequence. Then they used a series of methods to inspect the first hand. class

All in all, it looks very professional.

However, Zhu Pingan knew that these two gangsters were just pretending. Zhu Pingan had just seen Zhang Captou whispering to the two gangsters about things.

Zhang Captou and the others had paid close attention to it. They avoided everyone while moving the box wood and communicated in weak whispers. What Zhang Captou did was indeed very secretive. It is estimated that the two gangsters had to listen carefully to understand what Zhang Captou explained. Except for the three parties involved, no one else could hear it.

but

Zhu Pingan is an exception.

Zhu Pingan didn't hear it, he saw it. Zhu Pingan now feels more and more that it was a wise move for him to learn lip reading by himself in the Hanlin Academy Library. Zhu Ping'an "listened" to what Zhang Captou told the two men about.

"Remember what to say and what not to say, and examine these Tatar heads carefully. Do you understand? When the matter is accomplished, your benefits will be indispensable."

Zhu Pingan basically "heard" the rest of the sentence clearly, except for a sentence in the middle when Zhang Captou was speaking and blocked his mouth so that Zhu Pingan didn't "hear" it.

"Carefully examine these Tatar heads."

When Zhang Captou said this, he clicked twice on his mobile phone and emphasized his tone.

Note that Zhang Captou said in an affirmative tone, these are the Tatar heads. Before the inspection, these heads had been identified as Tatar heads.

This sentence has a profound meaning, and the two coworkers understood it.

Zhu Ping'an naturally understood it, and a gleam of light suddenly flashed through his dark eyes and disappeared in a flash.

The status of wuzhuo among officials was very low. Song Ci, the executioner of the Song Dynasty, was an exception. Song Ci was a Jinshi, and these wuzhuo did not have Song Ci's background. They are called "low-level servants" among the officials. They are a kind of official servants with low status and low salary. Zhang Captou is a popular person in front of Wang Shilang and their superior. In addition, Zhang Captou has promised many things. If there are few benefits, they will naturally take the initiative and fall into the trap.

The two men conducted an inspection for about ten minutes, and then came to the conclusion of the inspection, and submitted a handwritten copy to the court.

"Reporting to your lord, after our careful inspection, we have determined that these forty-nine heads are all Tatars. First of all, your lords can also see that the hairstyle of these heads is a typical Tatar hairstyle. It is called Huhele; secondly, gentlemen, please see that most of these heads wear copper rings on both ears or one ear, which is the practice of the barbarians; in addition, although these heads have been treated, their faces have been wiped with warm vinegar, and you can see The skin color on the face is tan and darker. Most of the Tatars are sunburned from grazing on grass every day. These are typical Tatar characteristics."

"Therefore, we conclude that these forty-nine heads are undoubtedly Tatars."

After submitting the inspection results to the court, Wu Zuo briefly stated the identification results. Starting from the aspects of hairstyle, earrings, and skin color, he came to the conclusion that these heads were all Tatars.

"You bear the responsibility of criminal investigation, which is the key to this case and must not be trivial." Wang Xueyi said seriously at the presiding bench.

"I am willing to guarantee it with my head." Wu Zuo vouched for it.

"You are the senior officials of the Ministry of Punishment, so I naturally trust you. I wonder if you sirs have any other opinions?" Wang Xueyi nodded with satisfaction.

Zhao Daying and others could not wait to raise their hands and feet to agree with the appraisal conclusion. They had not had time to cheer, so how could they have any opinions.

Wu Zuo is an expert in this field. What they say is plausible and their appraisal conclusions are based on real evidence and are very convincing.

Other officials in the court were not professional in appraising heads, so most of their judgments were based on the appraisal conclusions made by others. In addition, they also had their own eyes. The hair style, earrings and other items on the head were Tatar characteristics at first glance.

Therefore, basically no one has any objection to the conclusion of the appraisal.

"No, they changed the head."

Liu Dadao and others also reacted at this time. They stepped forward angrily and pointed at Zhao Daying and others, angrily exposing the shady secrets of the officialdom. They could not control their emotions, their eyes were filled with anger, and they wanted to go forward and devour Zhao Daying alive. .

"Snapped"

"quiet."

In the courtroom, Wang Xueyi slapped the gavel hard and scolded loudly.

The officers and guards of the Ministry of Justice who had been preparing for their attack in the court hall also swarmed up at this moment, cut off the arms of Liu Dadao and others, kicked them on the knees, forced them to kneel on the ground, and controlled them.

"They changed the heads..."

Liu Dadao and others struggled violently and shouted angrily.

"Shut up! How can you tolerate such noise in the court? The head is sealed by the Ministry of War. The Ministry of War is an important place. The place where the head is sealed is even more important. Every detail has been strictly verified and signed and sealed to ensure that everything is foolproof. , How can you, a villager, be so arrogant and mean?"

Wang Xueyi patted the gavel again, looked at Liu Dadao and others in the hall, and reprimanded with a straight face.

Upon hearing this, the officers of the Ministry of Punishment and others picked up Liu Dadao and others, preparing to take Liu Dadao and others down and give them a beating first for disturbing the court.

Damn it, the person named Wang is trying to make use of the topic.

Zhu Ping'an hurried forward, first stopped the Ministry of Punishment officer, and then prepared to argue. Liu Dadao and the others were brought to testify by him, and he could not watch them being slapped.

"Well, since you still have the responsibility of being a witness, and this is your first offense, I will not care about it this time. If you ignore the law and dare to commit the crime again, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

Now that he was on the verge of success, Wang Xueyi did not want to cause more trouble and disputes. He waved his hand and signaled the officers of the Ministry of Justice to let go of Liu Dadao and the others, continue the petition process, close the case as soon as possible, and complete the matters assigned by He Shangshu.
