It was almost lunch time, and Lin Xiaoyue saw only a few people walking on the road. This was completely different from when she came here before!
She felt strange, so she picked up a man and asked, "Brother, what happened in the town? Why is there no one on the road?"
The man didn't know what he was thinking of, and his face instantly became very distorted, "Don't ask me, I'm going to vomit just thinking about it. Anyway, go to the county government office and have a look!"
Lin Xiaoyue immediately understood what was going on. It seemed that the county magistrate was already interrogating He Yuan.
"That's it, thank you very much, brother!" After thanking the man, she went straight to the county government office.
Sure enough, the gate of the county government office was crowded with people. Nowadays, Lin Xiaoyue, who looked ordinary, would be hard to find even if she was thrown into the crowd, so she was not afraid at all when she stood at the gate of the county government office and squeezed directly to the front.
The county magistrate's name is Ye Qingtian. Because he has a relative who is a high-ranking official in the capital, he got a good job from the county magistrate of Furong Town. Furong Town is the richest town, and many people have worked hard to get in, but Ye Qingtian is very smart, and every year
He would allocate most of his wealth to relatives who were high-ranking officials in the capital and above, so no one had been able to pull him out of this position after so many years.
In the courtroom, Ye Qingtian was sitting upright, with a man kneeling below him. His whole body was dirty, and there was an unpleasant smell coming from behind him from time to time. Based on this smell, Lin Xiaoyue guessed that the man was He Yuan.
He Yuan was worthy of being a martial arts practitioner. Even though he had been suffering from diarrhea for so long, he still spoke very powerfully. He faced the county magistrate without fear and defended himself: "County magistrate, I was framed by the shopkeeper of Huichun Hall.
You see, not long after I left Huichun Hall, I started to have uncontrollable diarrhea. Except for the shopkeeper of Huichun Hall who has this ability, who can secretly administer such powerful medicine?"
Ye Qingtian glanced at Gu Shanren in Huichun Hall and asked: "Shopkeeper Gu, what do you say?"
Gu Shanren snorted coldly and said in a funny way: "I wanted to sue you for not paying me the money I owe you for the medicine, but you actually complained first! If I gave you medicine, do you think you could still live to this day? Don't praise me too much.
But I don’t have that ability!”
He Yuan knew from the moment he saw Gu Shanren sitting on the Grand Master's chair that the county magistrate and Gu Shanren had a deep collusion, but even so, he was not afraid because he had witnesses! As long as Lin Xiaoyue spoke for him, he was not afraid of the county magistrate.
A random verdict!
"My lord, there was an exiled woman with me at that time. Her name is Lin Xiaoyue. She can testify for me!"
Hearing He Yuan's words, Ye Qingtian had an ugly look on his face. What if the heroine helped He Yuan speak for him? No matter what, he had to deal with He Yuan today, otherwise Huichun Hall would still be filial to his money in the future.
If you give it to him, it will be hard to say!
Therefore, he did not immediately order Lin Xiaoyue to be arrested for questioning. Instead, he first looked at Gu Shanren and asked tentatively: "Shopkeeper Gu, have you seen that woman?"
Immediately, Gu Shanren had a puzzled look on his face, shook his head and said, "No, all the clerks in my shop can testify!"
At this time, Lin Xiaoyue outside the court felt like she had divine help. This Gu Shanren was so powerful! She had stuffed so many gold coins into Gu Shanren before, and it was indeed not in vain!
Although she had prepared evidence of fake death at the mass grave outside Dongyuan Town, it was not foolproof! And in Furong Town, the words of Gu Shanren were more useful than these!
Indeed, as Lin Xiaoyue guessed, Ye Qingtian in the lobby directly acquiesced to Gu Shanren's words. The gavel was slapped heavily on the desk. Ye Qingtian angrily scolded He Yuan who was kneeling on the ground: "You are so bold and unruly, how dare you.
You deceived me! Someone comes and I will punish this person for fifty years!"
He Yuan didn't expect that the county magistrate was protecting him so much. He pointed at Ye Qingtian's nose angrily and cursed: "Dog officer, open your eyes and look carefully! I am a government official in the capital, responsible for deporting criminals. I'm not here to beat you up if you want.
You're being beaten! If it delays the court's affairs, let alone me, even you will be left with nothing to eat!"
Ye Qingtian had a contemptuous smile on his face. Before he went to court, he had He Yuan's body searched. Not to mention his waistband, he didn't even have any court documents. He lied blatantly like this. He really thought that he, the county magistrate, was just a decoration.
?!
"Insolent! I have sent people to investigate a long time ago. You once shouted on the street that you were a lunatic. So, how can I believe what a lunatic says? Come here, pin me down on the ground and beat me hard.
Beat him until he confesses!"
He Yuan's eyes were red, and the anger in his heart almost swallowed up his reason, "This is not what I wanted to shout, it was the woman who forced me to shout, otherwise she wouldn't give me money to treat my brother's injuries! You bitch, I want to
If I go back to Beijing and accuse you of colluding with Huichuntang, you will die badly!"
Ye Qingtian originally just wanted to kill He Yuan's spirit. As long as he confessed, he would be imprisoned for half a year. When the ancient good man calmed down, he would be released.
But I didn't expect that He Yuan was so ignorant that he actually said in court that he would go back to Beijing to sue him. Regardless of whether He Yuan was a yamen servant or not, if he really wanted to sue, the black gauze hat on his head would be in danger!
After all, Furong Town is a popular place, how many people want to sit in his position!
Humph, since this kid is so ignorant of praise, don't blame him for being cruel!
"You haven't eaten yet? Beat me to death!"
The killing stick hit He Yuan hard and hit He Yuan on the buttocks. He Yuan could hold on for a while at first, but then the severe pain like a broken bone spread all over his body. He felt that he could hardly breathe from the pain, and his head
There was a buzzing sound, and his vision became increasingly blurry. In a daze, he seemed to see Jiang Bai.
Jiang Bai was waving to him, saying that he was so bored, why did he come so late, and he was punished with three drinks!
He recalled his experience, smiled bitterly, picked up the bowl, drank three cups in a row, and then followed Jiang Bai away.
At this time, when the officer saw that He Yuan had stopped crying out in pain, he withdrew his killing stick, leaned down and breathed, "Report to the county magistrate, this man is out of breath."
Ye Qingtian nodded with satisfaction, dropped the gavel in his hand again, and shouted majestically: "This person is pretending to be a government official in the capital, and he should be executed according to the law. But since he has been beaten to death, he should be thrown into a mass grave! Quit!"
After saying that, he walked over with a smile and invited Gu Shanren to drink tea. Gu Shanren accepted the invitation graciously, and the two walked into the courtyard behind.
As the policemen made a "powerful" sound with their killing sticks, the people knew that the fun was over and dispersed one by one.
Lin Xiaoyue looked at He Yuan who had expired on the ground and breathed a long sigh of relief. It would be fine if he died!
After going through so much, I am still lucky, especially the corpse of the girl in the mass grave helped me escape from my golden cicada shell!
Although I don’t know her name, the scars on her body are really shocking. Now that I know that she was killed by people from Bandit Mountain, I must go to Bandit Mountain to repay her!
