Qian Rushan suddenly turned into a piece of fat that fell into the fire, and was roasted by the fierce fire until it was sizzling with oil. Cold sweat broke out on his forehead one after another.
Lin Ziyan threw the confession in front of him, and his voice was as cold as ice, "This is a good thing you have done. The money is like a mountain, so you might as well change your name to Guinrushan!"
Qian Rushan didn't dare to answer. He held the confession and trembled for a long time before finally saying weakly: "Sir, the common people are illiterate."
Lin Ziyan was so angry that he hit the gavel and banged the table, "Master Chen, read the confession to him."
Master Chen took out the confession form from his hand, cleared his throat, deliberately raised his voice, and began to state his crimes one by one.
Halfway through the recitation, the people outside could no longer listen and threw rotten vegetable leaves and rotten eggs directly on his head.
The officer guarding the gate didn't even think about stopping him. He secretly told him, "Throw it on target and don't hit the magistrate." Then he swung around in circles with his arms waving.
Qian Rushan couldn't even hide while dragging his broken leg. He could only grit his teeth and endure it. In the end, he was so suffocated by the smelly water that he couldn't even open his eyes.
After reading the confession, Master Chen glared at him, took a step back, and asked in a deep voice: "Qian Rushan, can you plead guilty?"
Qian Rushan didn't even hear what he was reciting and blurted out two words: "I don't recognize it."
He did a lot of bad things, but he dealt with them cleanly every time. As long as he didn't let go, no one would be able to find out anything.
What happened to the county magistrate?
If we can't find any evidence, do we still have to let him go?
"Don't admit it? Even if you don't admit the crime today, you have to admit it!" Lin Ziyan turned his head and looked at the official, "Bring all the witnesses and physical evidence!"
After a while, a group of people came over carrying more than a dozen corpses covered with white cloth, followed by a few shrunken men.
Those corpses were naturally those stolen by Qian Rushan and his wife, and the man behind them was their accomplice and the doctor who committed perjury.
As soon as they went to court, they honestly told the story of how they helped Qian Rushan or Li kill people and committed perjury. At the end of the story, they cried and knelt down to beg for mercy.
Listening to the messy cries around him, the color on Qian Rushan's face suddenly faded, "You, how did you find them?"
How could it be possible to find all the witnesses and those dusty corpses in just a few hours?
"If you don't want others to know, you have to do nothing yourself. If you do something bad, won't it be a matter of time before someone discovers it?"
Lin Ziyan looked at him with a gloomy look, "Do you admit guilt this time?"
Qian Rushan seemed as if he hadn't heard anything. He lay on the ground in despair, muttering something in his mouth: "Don't admit guilt, I don't admit guilt. Don't even think about harming me. I've obviously taken care of them all..."
Suddenly, what Shen Qingqing had said in the secret room last night flashed through his mind, and he twisted his neck and yelled: "It was Shen Qingqing, Shen Qingqing, a bitch, who harmed me!"
"Shen Qingqing, you treacherous bitch! I obviously paid you to come here to catch ghosts, but you want to kill me in turn!"
Shen Qingqing snatched the rotten vegetable leaves from the aunt next to her and threw it into his face, "What did I do to you? Did I press your neck and let you kill someone?"
"Lord Magistrate, I did not kill anyone. This woman framed me. She framed me!"
Qian Rushan was biting like a mad dog, which made Lin Ziyan frown, "Well, I'd better just write a note and send it to the county to inform the governor of the situation. Regardless of whether you press your fingerprint or not, this capital crime is for me."
It’s decided!”
"And you, Ms. Li, do you plead guilty?"
Mrs. Li hugged Qian Rushan's arm and shook her head firmly, "I don't admit it! Like Rushan, I was wrongly accused!"
If they delay for one day, they can survive for one more day, and maybe they will encounter a turning point later.
Money can make all the difference. The most important thing the Qian family lacks is money. If he can't buy his life with money!
Who would have thought that as soon as such an idea came up, God would burn it out with a fire.
Two officers suddenly rushed into the courtroom. They didn't have time to salute before they shouted breathlessly: "Sir, it's not good, there is a private granary in the south of the city on fire. The fire is very strong and we need rescue in urgent need!"
"The south of the city...the private granary in the south of the city..."
Qian Rushan's body was shaking like chaff, and his face was as white as a ghost, "It can't be the granary of my Qian family, right?"
"It's the Qian family's granary. The thousands of kilograms of grain in it have been basically burned, and the cloth pile next to it will soon be burned."
Qian Rushan's heart sank a little more, that pile of cloth was the lifeblood of his Qian family!
He dragged his broken leg and kowtowed desperately, with snot and tears pouring out, "Sir, put out the fire! Put out the fire quickly!"
Lin Ziyan was completely unmoved, "Will you fingerprint the confession or not?"
"Fighting the fire, sir, shouldn't the most important thing now be putting out the fire?" Qian Rushan was so anxious that he pounded the ground.
"Will you take your fingerprints on the confession or not?"
It’s the same sentence.
Qian Rushan compromised, "I'll press it. Isn't it okay if I press it?"
He cherishes his life, but loves money even more.
The hard work of several generations of the Qian family cannot be destroyed in his hands!
You can lose people, but your family business must be preserved.
This time, Lin Ziyan didn't need to speak, Master Chen stood up holding a confession and ink pad.
Qian Rushan and Mr. Li pressed their fingerprints on the confession in turn, and they held each other's hands and cried in the hall.
Outside the county government office, the people cheered enthusiastically: "The county magistrate is wise and mighty!"
"The magistrate is wise and mighty!"
Lin Ziyan ordered his men to drag Qian Rushan and his wife down, then straightened his clothes and stood up. Then he ordered the fire fighters to bring tools to the south of the city to put out the fire.
After watching the excitement for a long time, Shen Qingqing quietly retreated to the alley next door, where a group of little ghosts gathered around her and thanked her with red eyes.
Shen Qingqing waved her hands at them, "No need to thank me. In fact, I didn't help much. These are the results of your own efforts."
"If it weren't for you, we would still be trapped in the secret room by that old guy. How would we have the chance to go out and dream?"
"Even if I can go out, I may not dare to tell the truth to my family. My family is just a blind old mother. How can I dare to challenge Qian Rushan?"
"So we still have to thank Miss Shen. If you hadn't rescued us and given us advice, how could the Qian family fall so quickly?"
The brats kept saying one thing or another without giving Shen Qingqing a chance to interrupt.
Shen Qingqing had no choice but to stand aside dumbfounded, and waited until they all said enough before speaking: "The Qian family's matter has been settled, so you don't need to stay in the upper world anymore. Go to the underworld and be reincarnated, and try to live in a good family and enjoy happiness in the next life."
As she spoke, she drew a soul-giving talisman out of thin air. The moment the talisman was formed, a ray of white light lit up. The light scattered and fell into the eyebrows of each kid. The kid disappeared into the alley along with the white light.
Shen Qingqing clapped her hands, walked out of the alley with ease, and drove the ox cart to the grocery store to buy tarpaulins, mats, rain boots and other necessary sundries for going out.
The grocery store owner recognized her as Shen Qingqing, whom Qian Rushan had scolded, and stopped her to chat for a while. When it came time to pay, he took the initiative to give her a small change.
Shen Qingqing happily walked out of the grocery store carrying her things. Unexpectedly, Qian Rushan did a good deed when he was about to die and saved her a dozen copper coins.
