Not long after, the murderer was brought in. He was dressed in black and his face was covered. He stumbled to the ground after being escorted onto the stage.
Mu Su snorted coldly: "Give you a chance to change your ways."
"The villain said... the villain said anything!" the murderer shouted, and then said that they were sent by three noble families to assassinate him.
The head of the Feng family sneered, and the old god was here: "Sir Mu, you just found a random person and want to pour dirty water on the three of us?"
"Then let me spoil you alone, okay?" Mu Su looked at him with a smile.
The head of the Han family pretended to smooth things over and said, "Mr. County Magistrate, why don't you take off his mask and let us see whose family he is from. We are just afraid that this person will commit theft."
There was something in his words, and he guessed that this "murderer" might be someone from the county magistrate pretending to be someone.
An ordinary official would have been speechless for a long time, but when he met Mu Su, he would fight back regardless of whether he was justified or not.
Mu Su's eyes squinted: "You are the county magistrate and I am the county magistrate? When will it be your turn to make the decision here?"
"Yes, sir, why don't we take off the mask and let us see who this person is." The head of the Feng family agreed with a strange air.
"You want to see it, but I won't let you see it." Mu Su started to get confused. "What do you want to do to me? Come and beat me, you idiot."
The three families were all face-seekers, so they snorted and ignored him.
But that doesn't mean they took a step back.
"Sir, why don't you open it and take a look!"
"yes!"
"Yes, sir."
"Let's see who it is."
There was a chorus of echoes outside the government office.
Mu Su was so angry that he rolled up his sleeves and hurriedly came to the people and shouted: "Who said this? Stand up for me!"
Wow——
The people retreated in large numbers, and several servants in servant uniforms were isolated with ugly expressions.
Mu Su narrowed his eyes and said, "Mr. Han, if I remember correctly, this is your Han family's servant, right?"
The head of the Han family, who turned around and looked back, smiled and replied: "My lord, I remembered it wrong. This belongs to the Feng family."
The head of the Feng family stiffened slightly, and then said calmly: "If you disturb the court, you should be slapped."
"This is what your master said." Mu Su shrugged at the group of servants and waved to the Yamen servants for execution.
Several servants with bloodless faces were dragged away, and soon there were screams.
Mu Su returned to the murderer in the hall and said: "Take him down and keep him under safe custody. Don't let these three families send people to silence him again."
The fake murderer was taken away, and before leaving, he screamed at the three seats: "Master, save me!"
"He's like a bastard and can't save himself when he crosses the river, so he still wants to save you?" Mu Su sneered. "Pass the next witness!"
The head of the Zhou family, who had always closed his eyes, opened his eyes.
A witness was brought up, and he was still a government servant pretending to be a beggar. He didn't even change his identity.
"According to the truth what you saw that day."
Mu Su came to the beggar with his hands behind his hands, his eyes never leaving the heads of the three families.
The government servant pretending to be a beggar quickly replied: "That day I was enjoying the shade under the wall of Feng's house and heard the quarrel between the head of the Feng family and the heads of the other two families."
"Nonsense, how can you recognize whose voice it is?" Mu Su pretended to be angry.
Oshi covered his eyes in pain. Why didn't this gentleman even change his words?
The beggar was frightened: "I didn't know it at first, but after arguing for a while, they suddenly said that they wanted to kill Xinzhi County. The villain was really curious, so he climbed up the wall to take a look, and saw..."
"What did you see? Don't be afraid, the magistrate will make the decision for you."
The Yamen servant nodded and said tremblingly: "I saw the head of the Han family nestling in the arms of the head of the Feng family... The head of the Han family still misses..."
"Hmm -?" The smiling head of the Han family raised his voice and looked over.
"...and still talking about killing the magistrate." The beggar hunched his shoulders and finished the second half of the sentence.
Mu Su bypassed the beggar and came to the head of the Han family: "Is this the case?"
The head of the Han family smiled and replied: "My lord, it is clear that there is still a Han mansion outside the wall of the old man's bedroom. How can a beggar eavesdrop?"
"So this beggar is lying?" Musu pretended to be angry and asked the yamen to drag him down.
"The villain is wronged! The villain can see clearly..."
The shouts of the fake beggar are getting farther and farther away.
At this moment, the head of the Feng family stood up and shouted: "If the magistrate just finds some false witnesses to smear us, then forgive me for not accompanying the Feng family."
After saying that, he ignored others and walked towards the crowd outside the Yamen.
Mu Su looked at him sideways and said nothing to stop him. Until the head of the Zhou family was suddenly stopped by a figure.
The catcher said coldly: "You can come to the court whenever you want and walk around wherever you want."
The head of the Feng family frowned: "Do you know who I am, and you dare to stop me?"
"The court is only divided into prisoners and witnesses. It doesn't matter who you are."
"Really? I wonder how much your monthly salary is and what your family situation is like?" The head of the Zhou family narrowed his cloudy eyes.
"shut up!"
There was a cold shout behind me.
"I thought that as a gentry in Feixian County, you would have something to say when you came to the county government. I didn't expect you to say such vulgar words! Even though the arrester is not an official, he acts upright and upright. Who knows better than you?
I don’t know how good it is for the gentry who feed the common people and bring harm to the fellow villagers.”
The head of the Feng family looked livid and hesitantly returned to his seat with a cold snort.
The silence of the other two made him feel dissatisfied, and he hummed softly: "Are you just going to play around with this junior here?"
The Zhou family closed their eyes and said nothing, while the Han family talked and laughed: "It's good to be idle, just watch the excitement."
[I can’t tell who is the most suspect. Maybe all three families are involved, or maybe one of them is innocent.] Transparent Bridge pondered.
"Wouldn't it be better if we caught them all?"
Musu replied with something that made the expressions of the three family heads and Oshi change.
[No. Your subordinate is right. You can’t test them one by one this time. Acting rashly may cause the fifth case to change before it has time to trigger. 】
"Then just pick one to be the murderer." Mu Su suddenly thought of this good idea and his eyes lit up.
He walked up to the three of them and gestured with his fingers back and forth between them: "Yiniminimenimo."
The finger points to the head of the Feng family on the left.
When Mu Su saw that the end of the chapter was coming, he wasted no time and shouted: "Head of the Feng family, you ordered an assassin to assassinate an official of the imperial court. This is a heinous crime! Someone, drag him away!"
Everyone was shocked by Mu Su's vigorous actions.
Good judgments in terms of task progress add one. Mu Sumeng is right.
"but……"
Mu Su raised a long voice to temporarily stop the head catcher who came forward.
"This case is full of doubts. Although the Feng family is heavily suspected. However, in line with the principle of never judging any good person and never missing any bad person, I decided to postpone the trial of the case. As for the head of the Feng family——"
Mu Su glanced at the faces of the three people and said calmly: "Temporarily put them in jail until they are tried again tomorrow."
"It's my lord." The head-hunter held his fists, and his fellow officers escorted away the head of the Feng family who was constantly sneering.
Everyone present was stunned. The head of the Feng family, one of the local gentry, was locked up like this...?
The crowd was noisy, and the other two families were also surprised. They didn't expect the county magistrate to have the courage to do this.
Standing in the hall, Matsumo was stroking his chin. The prisoner had been found, and the next step was to think about how to pry open his mouth so that the truth could be revealed.
