In the left hall of Kaifeng Prefecture, Bao Zheng is being tried, Fan Mingren sued the Fugui Bridge Pudian case. The people who were watching the trial case outside the hall were crowded with three floors inside and three floors. More than a hundred people standing on the outermost side could not see the lobby at all, but they still refused to leave.

The only person who left was Fugui Qiaodong's advocate Zhang Yaocheng. He felt that he had lost his identity when responding to the lawsuit here, so he fully entrusted the shopkeeper Wu to represent Guan Pudian to respond.

In fact, neither the plaintiff nor the defendant needed to come forward, but the lawyers they entrusted to come forward to make a statement.

Two lawyers in the lobby fought fiercely.

Mr. Guo's voice was quite loud, and his tone of accusing the other party was very harsh. He wanted to overwhelm the other party in terms of momentum.

"We all know the rules of buying Guanpu. The orders are divided into two, and the orders are given to customers. The bottom orders are left in Guanpu store. At the same time, the Guanpu store has to be recorded. With such strict procedures, how could Guanren Fan blackmail you?

But not only did you close the old Caomen Guanpu store, but the original shopkeeper didn't know where to go. This clearly didn't want to bear the high Guanpu compensation. He even said that Guanren Fan blackmailed you, which is extremely shameless!"

The lawyer entrusted by Fuguiqiaoguanpudian is surnamed Wang, and he is also a very famous lawyer in Beijing. He is experienced and good at grasping the essence.

This lawyer Wang knew very well that Guanpu's store was indeed a bit inappropriate. Judging from common sense, Guanpu's store is indeed a bit untenable. They shouldn't have closed the old Caomen Guanpu's store, nor should they have replaced the shopkeeper. Anyone with a discerning eye can tell what's going on.

However, he made a fuss about the other party's lack of conclusive evidence or witnesses. After all, common sense is common sense, and the law is the law. The government cannot rely on common sense to judge cases, but there must be evidence and witnesses.

He said with a serene saying: "As the saying goes, when the forest is big, there are all kinds of birds. A very kind of person knows that something cannot be done, but he insists on doing it. Just like we all know that in winter, people on the Bian River cannot leave, and it is easy for ice to crack and fall into the water. Every Bianjing person knows that this is common sense, but people still fall into the water and drown every winter. By the same token, we all know that it is useless to turn off the ticket and make fake tickets, but you can guarantee that no one really makes fake tickets to get money?"

Mr. Wang glanced at Bao Zheng, and saw that he did not interrupt himself, and continued: "As for the closing of the old Caomen branch and transferring the original shopkeeper, it was a matter inside the Guanpu store, and it had nothing to do with this matter. You also know that when the old Caomen Guanpu store was closed, he ran to find the main store. Don't you know? What's the point of closing the old Caomen branch?"

At this time, Guo Jie bowed to Bao Zheng and said, "Reported to the official Bao, the tickets are printed in a row. The plaintiff provided a total of five tickets, the third of which was the first place for the five-two silver bet on the boy's test. He won the bet and won 160 taels of silver. The store has already exchanged it.

So, the first and second, the fourth and fifth, and the third, are clearly associated with the third, but Guanpu Store does not recognize these four. Isn’t it funny? Why don’t you recognize them before and after, and only recognize the middle part because it is small, and why is this?"

Bao Zheng nodded and said to the yamen runner: "Where is the defendant? I have something to ask him."

The yamen runs out, and for a moment, the shopkeeper Wu walks quickly and bows, saying, "Xiaomin is Wu Qun, the shopkeeper of the Guanpudian, Fuguiqiao. He is entrusted by the boss to respond to the case on behalf of the Guanpudian!"

Bao Zheng did not pick on it because Fan Mingren sued Guanpu Store, not Zhang Yaocheng, so Zhang Yaocheng could ask the shopkeeper to come forward, as long as he could represent Guanpu Store.

Bao Zheng asked: "Why do you Guanpu Store think that these four orders are fake?"

"Reporting to the high-ranking official, because there are no records of these four orders in the record book in our store, and there are no corresponding back-end orders, it is easy for us to make a judgment."

"But as far as I know, the orders in Guanpu Store are all in a row. Since you have exchanged one in the middle, there should be orders with four numbers in the front and back. I am right!"

The shopkeeper Wu secretly hated him, not knowing that the shopkeeper exchanged the middle order in the chaos, which made him very passive now. Although he made preparations, it was fake after all. He would never want to take out the fake items unless he had no choice.

But now the evidence is here, he has to admit it, he has to nod, "We do have a list!"

"Then please ask the shopkeeper to take out four mint slips with the same number, and also take the record book together to prove your determination."

The shopkeeper Wu was helpless and had to instruct a friend to go back to get the orders and records. Bao Zheng asked a clerk to take several yamen runners to go with him. The government had the right to call such evidence.

Panlou Street is not far from Kaifeng Government Office. Just when Bao Zheng finished a cup of tea, the Shuling Envoy and his other party’s friend had already returned.

The Shuling Envoy held a large box in his hand, which was a thick registration book, and there were four quotations next to it. The Shuling Envoy was very smart and took the quotation of the five taels of silver that had been redeemed.

The Shuling envoy whispered to Bao Zheng: "Their proprietor asked me to tell Shao Yin that he said that the case involves the face of the imperial concubine, so please pay attention to this."

Bao Zheng sneered and moved the imperial concubine out at any time. The Zhang family has this kind of virtue. Zhang Yaozuo is such a person, and his brothers are the same. But they forgot who is Bao Zheng?

Bao Zheng spread out the four orders and compared them with the four orders of the plaintiff in his hand. The four bottom orders were betting on the money they always had. Zhang Qiu, Bianliang County, won the first place in the boy's test, obviously, and the gambler naturally would not come. All four bottom orders were stamped with unsuccessful seals.

Since the other party’s four orders are bottom orders, while the plaintiff’s four orders are regular orders, the formats are different, the papers are different, and the handwriting is also different.

Of course, this just proves that the bottom order and the regular order are not the same order, either the plaintiff falsify or the defendant falsify.

Bao Zheng took out the minting slip of the five taels of silver that had been redeemed and compared.

A comparison shows some clues. The papers are different. Although they are all jute paper, the paper that has been exchanged for the bottom sheet is a little yellow and a little old. The four bottom sheets are relatively new, and the printing is the same, they are all the same board, and the number is written by hand. Although the handwriting is very similar, it can still be seen that it was not written by one person.

Bao Zheng compared the four plaintiff's orders with the bottom orders of five taels of silver, which was exactly the same, with the same paper and the same handwriting.

Bao Zheng sneered and flipped through the record sheet again. He found that the thick record sheet binding thin rope was actually new, and the record book had been a long time ago, which means that the record book had been taken apart and the two pages of paper that were registered were also relatively new, and it was different from the front and back.

Bao Zheng slapped the gavel and sternly said to the shopkeeper Wu: "Your four minus slips and record books are clearly forged, not originals. Can't you see it as my official?"

The shopkeeper Wu was speechless for a moment, but the lawyer Wang next to him said calmly: "The great official thinks that the bottom order is inconsistent because the original order has been destroyed, but the government needs it, so he temporarily made four more."

Manager Wu nodded quickly, "That's true. We will destroy these useless orders in time. Because there are too many orders, it is very inconvenient to keep them, so we will not keep them."

"Then why is this not destroyed?" Bao Zheng yang said the bottom slip of five taels of silver.

Mr. Wang smiled and said, "This is a winning order, of course you have to keep it. This is the general practice of closing a store. Manager Wu, I'm right!"

Manager Wu Da hurriedly said: "It is precisely for this reason that the original order has indeed been destroyed by us. This winning prize will also be destroyed after three months. This is the case with Guanpu Store."

Master Guo Song said on the side: "Since you can't come up with evidence, why do you insist that these four orders are fake?"

Mr. Wang smiled proudly, "Of course, Guanpudian thinks your order is fake, and you also think we are fake. Since both parties have different opinions, do you have witnesses? Take out the witnesses, maybe you can turn the tables."

At this time, a hearty laugh came from outside the hall, "Unfortunately, I can testify for the plaintiff!"

A young man in a white brocade robe walked into the lobby calmly with a folding fan, followed by Fan Ning. Mingren was overjoyed. Fan Ning really brought the Tai student named Cao.

Bao Zheng was stunned when he saw this student. The young man blinked at Bao Zheng and signaled Bao Zheng not to reveal his identity.
