The yamen servant quickly brought Qin Mo and Su Dehai in.

Qin Mo saluted and explained his intention to Gao Zhifu.

Knowing that he was here to supplement his testimony, Gao Zhifu asked the clerk to record the confession for Qin Mo first.

He turned to Su Dehai and said, "You are Xiao Sanlang's father-in-law, are you trying to avenge your son-in-law?"

Su Dehai was kneeling on the ground feeling uncomfortable. He thought that he was once a fifth-rank official, so there was no need to kneel when he saw a fourth-rank magistrate.

Hearing this, he curled his lips and said, "I won't plead grievances for him. Doesn't it mean that the prefect is a good official? There are adults who can definitely clear his name. How can I plead grievances for him?"

Qin Mo on the side felt a little twitching at the corner of his mouth. How could Uncle Su say such flattering words in a disdainful tone?

Gao Zhifu felt inexplicably relieved by these words, "Then why are you beating the drum of injustice?"

Su Dehai glared angrily at Xiao Silang who was standing aside. He suddenly got angry and kicked Xiao Silang, "I'll beat you to death, you little brat, for daring to scheme against me."

Xiao Silang was unprepared and was kicked in the butt by him. He was so angry that the veins on his neck stood up.

"You damn old man, why are you beating people so randomly?"

Two government officials stepped forward and grabbed Su Dehai. Su Dehai was still angrily jumping up and staring at Xiao Silang, "Sir, I'm here to sue Xiao Silang. It was this guy who used a jar of wine to drive me open this morning, and he took the opportunity to enter."

My son-in-law’s room.”

"Okay, this is the lobby of the prefect. If you have anything to say, please speak it carefully. Don't hit people with your hands." Gao Prefect's eyes flashed slightly, and he immediately grasped the key point.

"You said Xiao Silang used wine to lure you away? Why can a jar of wine lure you away? You love drinking?"

Su Dehai turned around and pointed at Xiao Sanlang dissatisfiedly, "It's not his fault and my evil daughter, they caused me to contract a strange disease, which makes me vomit when I smell the smell of alcohol.

This morning, someone knocked on the door. When I opened the door, I saw Xiao Silang put down a jar of wine and ran away. As soon as I smelled the smell of wine, I ran to the backyard and vomited, and I almost died in the backyard without vomiting."

Kozhifu was surprised, "Is there such a strange disease?"

He turned to look at Xiao Sanlang.

Xiao Sanlang slightly raised his lips, "My lord, you can verify it on the spot."

Su Dehai reacted instantly and jumped to scold Xiao Sanlang, "You black-hearted thing is hurting me again!"

Gao Zhifu winked, and two government officials immediately escorted Su Dehai down.

After a while, Su Dehai was dragged back by two government officials.

"Sir, it's true. I vomited as soon as I smelled the smell of alcohol." One of the government officials reported, "I vomited very violently."

Su Dehai had already vomited and collapsed, and weakly pointed at Xiao Sanlang and cursed, "Two evil-minded people, one wanted to beat me in the inn, and the other dared to harm me in the yamen."

Xiao Sanlang's eyes brightened slightly, Yueyue came to Jinzhou Mansion?

Su Dehai scolded Xiao Sanlang and then Xiao Silang, and finally cried and asked the prefecture to make the decision for him, "I am old, and Xiao Silang hurt me like this. I almost vomited to death this morning.

Sir, I don’t care how you decide Xiao Sanlang’s case, but Xiao Silang harmed me first, so you have to try my case first, right?

This little bastard hurt me, do I have to hit him first? Do I have to let the little bastard pay my medical expenses?"

Gao Zhifu had a headache from his crying, and asked Xiao Silang with a dark face, "Did you lure Su Dehai away with wine just to sneak into Xiao Sanlang's room?"

Xiao Silang was tricked by Xiao Sanlang just now, and now he didn't dare to say anything casually.

In order to testify against Xiao Sanlang, he had already admitted that he and Li Wencai sneaked into Xiao Sanlang's room to steal the test questions. He could only admit it through gritted teeth.

"Sir, I did put a jar of wine outside the room, but I just wanted to lure him away. I didn't know that he would vomit if he smelled the smell of wine."

Su Dehai gave him a hard sip, "Fart, you don't know why you drank so much? Sir, you see he admitted it, please make the decision for me."

Sir, even though Xiaomin is so old, he still needs to be killed like this. If he didn’t kill me first, there would be no other murder cases later. Please enforce the law impartially and handle my case first."

Su Dehai lay on the ground crying pitifully.

Gao Zhifu rubbed his brows. According to the law, Su Dehai sued Xiao Silang. Although it was a small case, Xiao Silang harmed Su Dehai first and the murder case came later. He really had to deal with this matter first.

Moreover, Xiao Sanlang briefly questioned Xiao Silang just now, and Xiao Silang's words revealed many flaws. The High Prefecture has concluded that there is another hidden story in this case, and he needs time to think about it.

The Gaozhi Prefecture immediately ordered the government officials to beat Xiao Silang ten times and compensate Su Dehai five taels of silver for his medical expenses, which was regarded as understanding of the case.

Xiao Silang did not expect that before Xiao Sanlang was sentenced, he would be beaten first and paid five taels of silver. He suddenly felt bad.

He is also a person who is indifferent to the four limbs and the five grains. After ten boards, he will faint.

Seeing that the person was fainting, the prefecture announced that the trial was suspended and would resume tomorrow.

Su Dehai got five taels of silver and walked away with satisfaction. From beginning to end, he never said a word for Xiao Sanlang, which made the prefecture couldn't help but look at him with side eyes.

Xiao Sanlang and Xiao Silang were both taken away and put into a cell.

Soon it was night, Xiao Silang woke up quietly, and suddenly heard a gloomy voice coming from beside him.

"Xiao Silang, you are so cruel."

The sound was intermittent, as if coming from a distance, but it made Xiao Silang's hair stand on end.

He was so frightened that he jumped up and pulled his injured buttocks. The pain made him wake up, and he realized that he was in a cell.

There was only one dim lamp in the cell, and the light was dim and uncertain.

The voice was cold and eerie, and penetrated his ears again.

"Xiao Silang, my head hurts so much..."

"You are so cruel, why did you hit me with a brick..."

It was Li Wencai, and Li Wencai came to ask for his life.

Xiao Silang was so frightened that he crawled and retreated into the corner, holding tightly to the wooden bars of the cell. He saw Xiao Sanlang locked up in the cell next to him.

"Did...did you hear anything?"

Xiao Sanlang sat cross-legged on the ground. Hearing this, he raised his eyelids and looked over calmly, "Are you saying that a ghost came in to claim his life?"

Xiao Silang was so frightened that he was paralyzed, "You...you heard it too?"

Xiao Sanlang sneered, closed his eyes and continued to rest.

The sinister voice continued, "Give me back my life!"

"Give me back my life!"

The sound sounded like it came from hell, making people's hair stand on end.

Xiao Silang shrank into a ball in fear.

Not only him, but everyone in the cell heard the sound, including several guards on the night shift.

Several people murmured inwardly, "It's not really haunted, is it?"

The brave ones went out and walked around, "There's no one outside."

But that voice still echoed in the dark cell.

Many people in the cell began to cry.

"It's a ghost. The ghost is here to claim your life."

"The sky is spirited, the earth is spirited, the ghosts appeared today."

Amidst the various shouts of fear, misery, or excitement, Xiao Silang shrank into a ball and covered his ears, trying to block out the sound.

But the more this happens, the clearer the voice becomes.

"Give me back my life!"

In the middle of the night, the prefect was sleeping soundly when he was suddenly woken up urgently by the government officials.
