Later, with a trembling voice, Jia Yuntong revealed the many things he had done. The woman he killed was not only He Xin, but also related to some brothel hookups. Hearing this, countless people gritted their teeth, especially those who had daughters.

My father’s eyes were like fire.

Jia Yuntong's confession made many people brought from his ship extremely frightened, and they quickly revealed many things, scrambling to become tainted witnesses.

Some women even shed tears and were thankful that they had been saved. They didn't dare to say anything before, but now they broke down in tears in the outer hall area.

But after Jia Yuntong and the others finished explaining, especially as Jia Yuntong revealed some shocking news, some people in the court couldn't help but look at each other. The master looked at County Magistrate Lin frequently, and even Yi Shuyuan

He also looked serious.

At this moment, County Magistrate Lin's expression was no longer angry, but showed a kind of complexity, and he felt deeply that he was riding a tiger and it was hard to get off, and he felt even more that Jia Yuntong deserved to die!

There was a brief silence inside and outside the courtroom late at night, and everyone was looking at Magistrate Lin.

Lin Xiu let out a long sigh and looked past him to look outside the yamen. He couldn't see where He Xin was, so he looked at Yi Shuyuan, who was nodding slightly.

"Let him sign it!"

After taking a deep breath, the county magistrate said these words.

The charges were written by the master next to Yi Shuyuan. Jia Yuntong raised his head and glanced at County Magistrate Lin, then knelt on the ground to sign. He couldn't hold the pen normally due to the severe pain in his fingers. He could only write with the pen in his palm, and then pressed the button tremblingly.

Ink pad painting.

The yamen officer took the charges and submitted them to the public case.

"Sir, that evil businessman Yuntong has already been arrested!"

Magistrate Lin glanced at the charges and then raised the gavel again.

"Pa~"

Everyone's hearts skipped a beat, knowing that the verdict was about to be pronounced.

"The evil businessman Jia Yuntong raped women, raped and robbed, colluded with officials, and took human lives. His crimes were numerous and the evidence was overwhelming! According to our Dayong regulations, his ship, property, money and goods were confiscated, and Jia Yuntong was sentenced..."

County Magistrate Lin paused for a moment, his eyes narrowed, and he looked at Jia Yuntong and spoke word by word.

"Behead, behead, punish! We will take you to the dungeon from now on, report to the Ministry of Punishment, and send it to Dali Temple for review!"

"ah!"

Jia Yuntong collapsed on the ground with a bloodless face, but he was still a little lucky in his heart. He looked outside the door and saw that the scary ghost of the woman was no longer visible, but he still felt cold all over.

"Master Qingtian!" "Master Qingtian!"

Among the people brought from the ship together, many women and even men kowtowed to the court in the outer hall. Even Yi Shuyuan looked at Magistrate Lin with respect.

Next came the interrogation of some of the accomplices and the Jianghu man, and each received a verdict, and naturally many people were freed.

After a night trial, the people in Yuanjiang County Government felt exhausted.

Jia Yuntong and others have been taken into the dungeon, and everyone else has been cleared out one by one. At this moment, the master finally couldn't help but speak.

"Your Excellency, the case of Jia Yuntong..."

County Magistrate Lin sighed when he heard this, but suddenly smiled. He actually didn't have much ambition before becoming an official. He was not like many scholars who poured out their passion to everyone he met. He didn't even want to climb high in the officialdom and gain a lifetime.

Just be rich and prosperous without making any big mistakes.

As a county magistrate, Lin Xiu has been transferred to many places over the years and has done some duties. Of course, he has also gained a lot of money. However, after serving so many officials, today is the first time that he was called "Master Qingtian". He looked up

He looked at the court plaque high up behind him.

The mirror hangs high!

"That's all, who asked me to meet you! Just retreat..."

After saying this, the county magistrate stood up, loosened the official collar, took off the black gauze on his head and placed it on the public case.

At this moment, in Yi Shuyuan's eyes, it seemed as if County Magistrate Lin's body was a little brighter.

"Mr. Yi, is He Xin still there?"

Yi Shuyuan stood up and answered with his hands raised.

"Go back to the county, sir. Miss He Xin has been standing outside the door."

Magistrate Lin stepped down from the public case and walked out of the court hall. Yi Shuyuan immediately followed him. The master hesitated and followed, but he was still a few steps behind because of fear.

The yamen servants and others on the side looked at each other in confusion. Although the master said to withdraw, no one left immediately.

Three people headed by County Magistrate Lin arrived at the head of the county government office.

"Sir, Miss He Xin is three feet away."

Yi Shuyuan said and looked at the woman in white, then he was slightly startled. At some point, an official wearing a black robe appeared on the street. It may be that he had been inside and was blocked by the wall. This time

The official was obviously not from the county government. He stood there without any movement at all, with the word "游" written on the high hat above his head.

Seeing Yi Shuyuan, the official seemed to be stunned for a moment, and then disappeared the next moment.

Yi Shuyuan's heart skipped a beat! Not a human?

No one noticed all this, not even He Xin.

At this moment, He Xin was looking at the county magistrate and Yi Shuyuan with gratitude. She knelt down directly outside the door, kowtowing to Yi Shuyuan and then to the county magistrate.

"Thank you sir, thank you sir!"

As if cause and effect were intertwined and Qi was intertwined, at this moment, County Magistrate Lin could faintly see a vague white shadow, which seemed to be a woman kowtowing in front of the door, and there was a faint sound of crying.

"Thank you sir, thank you sir! Thank you sir, thank you sir..."

------------------

The night was getting deeper, the people who had just tried the case had already dispersed, Yi Shuyuan had also returned to the library, and he was going to pack his things and go to bed.

But at this moment, Yi Shuyuan's heart was not at peace. He was thinking about the woman in white who finally floated away, about Magistrate Lin, and whether Jia Yuntong could really serve his sentence. At the same time, he also thought about the officer in black he saw before.

Could it be that he was the wandering god of Yinzhou? Did he arrive later, or did he follow Du Fang and He Xin from the beginning?

He said he was going to pack his things and go to bed, but when Yi Shuyuan came to the desk, he subconsciously sat down. He took the pen and unfolded a new piece of rice paper.

The pen falls on the rice paper, creating a natural handwriting...

What a good story worth reading. It has a good beginning and I hope it will have a good ending!

------------------

At dawn the next day, news about the county government's redress for the ghosts last night spread like wildfire, and many people described it vividly in the streets and alleys.

At the counter of Tongxinlou, a government servant hurried over and placed a wine bottle on the counter.

"Shopkeeper, give me half a catty of wine."

The county government restaurant is just a place for everyone to have a meal, and basically does not provide alcohol. However, if the government officials and others bring wine outside, no one will usually say anything. After all, the rule is that the dead are alive.

The hall on the first floor of Tongxin Building, which was originally bustling, suddenly became quiet. Someone pointed in the direction of the counter. The yamen servant was also a little puzzled, but before he said anything, the shopkeeper behind the counter grabbed the wine bottle.

So I asked.

"Brother You San, I heard that yesterday when the county government went to court in the middle of the night, ghosts beat drums to complain about injustice. Is this possible?"

Someone on the side immediately added.

"Yes, I heard the sound of drumming at home last night!" "The night watchman also said that the yamen is reviewing cases with the lights on!"

"Yes, I heard that they went out of the city to catch criminals in the middle of the night!"

The yamen servant looked around and smiled.

"Hey, the news is quite good. Do you know everything?"

After hearing what the yamen officer said, everyone knew that this matter was probably true.

"Oh, they are all being spread. I only know one but not the other. Can you please tell me, Sange You?"

Someone at a table over there echoed loudly.

"Brother You San, don't go to the dining hall to eat. Come to my place. The food will be served. I'll add a pair of bowls and chopsticks. I'll also order the wine. Can you tell me what happened last night?"

"Yes, let's eat here!"

Others were also cheering.

The yamen servant smiled and said with a smile as he walked towards the table.

"Then why are you embarrassed..."

"Oh, Third Brother You is a cheerful person. What's wrong with treating you to a meal? You can also sue me for bribery? Hey, Third Brother, is what happened last night true?"

Na Yousan picked up the wine glass and took a sip, then let out a sigh of relief.

"Don't talk about you, it's just me. Now that I think about it, I feel a little confused. When the drums sounded last night, I really didn't expect that it was a ghost who came to avenge me!"

"Is it really a ghost?"

You San nodded.

"Well, but the drummer was not a ghost, but a young man from the county. He was entrusted by the ghost to play the drum to complain about grievances. It's just that the county government hall is such a place that ghosts can't enter. So at first, the county magistrate

I don’t even believe that kid, I thought he was teasing everyone and I slapped him dozens of times..."
