Zhu confirmed what Wu Ruijiang said, Chen also testified on his behalf, and the other villagers in Dumin Village also testified for Wu Ruijiang's remarks one by one.

Wu Ruijiang's self-evident words instantly became unbreakable testimony, which in turn proved his innocence.

At this time, neither the residents of the village nor the bystanders thought that Wu Ruijiang and Ren Xiuxiu's death could be involved.

"Looking like this, Wang Qi looks more suspicious."

"Yes, there is no witness to confirm where he was when the crime occurred, and the murder weapon was found in his home. Not to mention that people from Dumin Village just told me that this Wang Qi is an eunuch. He used to be a eunuch in the capital.

He often molested palace maids, and many of them were tortured and killed by him."

"Really? I don't believe it. If he really killed so brutally, why was he only sentenced to exile instead of beheading?"

"It's so normal. I have a backer."

"He is at the feet of the Emperor. This Wang Qi is really killing the maids in the palace. Can Your Majesty tolerate him causing trouble in the palace and still spare his life?"

"The people in Dumin Village are all exiles who can't escape the death penalty. You can't believe what they say. Maybe they had a grudge against Wang Qi when they were in the capital. What do we people on the border know? Don't be fooled.

They coaxed them into spreading rumors on their behalf.”

"Yes, let's see how our magistrate decides."

When the people in Dumin Village heard the discussion in the crowd, their expressions were not very good. They thought they were trying to guide these border people to listen to what they believed. Unexpectedly, there were also many sober-minded people.

And in their eyes, there is no difference between these fellow villagers and the gelded dog Wang Qi. They are all bad people who made mistakes in the capital...

Wu Ruijiang, who had a good ear, also heard the words of the people outside the hall. He kowtowed heavily, "Sir, the villain's wife and the villagers have confirmed that I did not have time to commit the crime. The villain was wrongly accused. I beg the county magistrate to let the villain go."

, focus on catching the real culprit, and don’t be deceived by the real culprit.”

Guan Zhixian gently stroked the goat's beard, covering his mouth that was almost twisted in anger. Wu Ruijiang looked majestic and unyielding, but he was treated like a fool and wanted to use him to get rid of Wang Qi. He really meant it

Can be punished.

In addition to being angry, he is also afraid. If it weren't for the method of extracting fingerprints invented by Li Fei, this case would have been fully exploited by them as the county magistrate due to the solid evidence, complete witnesses and the collective will of the villagers of Dumin Village.

"Bang!" The angrily Guan Zhixian slammed the gavel on the table, "Wu Ruijiang is so bold that he still wants to deceive the county and even make fun of me!"

"Sir, I don't dare!" Wu Ruijiang didn't know why the county magistrate was so stubborn. He still found Wang Qi when both witnesses and physical evidence were against him. He was also panicking.

He thought, "The villain only hopes that the adults can judge the case fairly and justly, without being coerced by any force, and be impartial. The villain's humble life is nothing. I only hope that the murderer of Ren Xiuxiu will get what he deserves."

Punishment, I hope Nanli Law will not be trampled on."

These words were heartbreaking and the hat was too big. The people outside the hall were so frightened that they covered their mouths and remained silent. It even made many people in the Dumin Village red-eyed after hearing this.

Wu Ruijiang was risking his life. He would rather prevent the county magistrate from being removed from power than take away the castrated dog!

But what surprised Wu Ruijiang and the people of Dumin Village was that everyone's expressions changed. Only the adults in the hall remained calm, and they were not at all angry at his heart-wrenching words.

Their eyes were full of jest and disdain, as if they were looking at a group of clowns.

The atmosphere in the hall was frighteningly cold, and Mrs. Zhu kept kowtowing, "Sir, my husband is innocent! He just said these treasonous words out of anger. Please spare him."

Seeing that Wu Ruijiang was so implicated in the death of her daughter that she threatened the county magistrate with her life, Mrs. Chen felt guilty. If an outsider could risk his life, what should she, the biological mother, be afraid of?

He also begged desperately, "Sir, Wang Qi is the murderer. I hope you will not cover up the real murderer. I beg you, the peasant woman, to make the decision for the peasant woman's daughter who died tragically!"

Mother's cries were like complaints, and many people who were soft-hearted began to cry.

"Then Wang Qi is too arrogant. He doesn't kneel down or say anything when he goes to court, and he still has a chair to sit on. From this, it seems that the backer behind him is probably very big."

"It's not incomprehensible that the county magistrate is afraid of the forces behind him."

Such discussions gradually spread quietly among the crowd.

He has already gone through the interrogation process. Being so unjustly accused by the people, Guan Zhixian still feels very uncomfortable. But thinking about the fame he will gain after the truth is revealed, how will these people who wronged him feel doubly guilty?

I respect him, spread his merits, and feel that it was worth enduring for so long.

"Wu Ruijiang, you keep saying that I was forced to protect Wang Qi by force, saying that you have nothing to do with Ren Xiuxiu's case, and you are insinuating that I handled the case unfairly and wronged you." Guan Zhixian sneered and played with the scarecrow in his hand, "How can I

Arrest you without any evidence? Although you were extremely cautious and avoided witnesses, you still accidentally left your personal belongings next to Ren Xiuxiu's body."

"Impossible." Wu Ruijiang straightened his back and retorted without thinking. Looking into the eyes of the superior magistrate and magistrate, who seemed to be smiling but not smiling, he suspected that the dog official was deceiving him. He was not afraid of the questioning of the powerful, "There is no excuse to accuse him.

May I ask, Lord Magistrate, if there are really so-called personal belongings of mine left beside Ren Xiuxiu’s body, where are these evidences? Why didn’t I take them out just now?”

Many people admired and felt sorry for him because of his upright words that were not afraid of power.

The county magistrate was also amused by him, pointing to the murder weapons and wooden sticks on the tray, "The physical evidence was placed here early in the morning."

Everyone looked at it and saw that there was no more physical evidence on the flawless white cloth.

Wu Rui was trembling with anger, and Jiang Hu's eyes were wide-eyed, "Sir, this dagger belongs to Wang Qi. The bloody dagger and wooden stick were both found by the yamen on the beam of Wang Qi's house."

"At that time, almost all the people in the village could testify." He turned around and glanced at the people in Dumin Village. The seven-foot-tall man was crying silently, his eyes were aggrieved and unwilling. Everyone who saw it felt chilled for him, "Your Excellency, you want to

Zhang Guan Li Dai, confusing right and wrong and forcibly pressing these two pieces of evidence on the villain?"

The county magistrate glanced at the people, wiped his tears, glared at him secretly, or gritted their teeth at him. The last trace of pity for Wu Ruijiang, who was pretending to dig a hole for him, disappeared.

You had any personal grudges in the capital, it was nothing to do with this county, and you just used me as an official. Now you want to discredit me and ruin my future. It's really abominable.

The more hate he felt in his heart, the calmer the county magistrate, who had cards in his hand, became calmer on his face. At this moment, it was not time to show off his authority, and he seduced in a deep voice, "Wu Ruijiang, this county is asking you again, what are the daggers and wooden sticks at the crime scene?
