As soon as Li Yi said this, there was silence in the courtroom.
Magistrate Liu just took advantage of his break to take a sip of tea, and all of it spurted out in an instant.
He turned his head suddenly and looked at Li Yi with wide eyes. Doubt, shock, shock...all kinds of emotions appeared in his eyes.
Beheaded?
What confidence does he have to say such a thing?
Let alone a small county captain, even a county magistrate or prefect does not have the right to approve the death penalty, right?
In order to prevent indiscriminate killing and manslaughter, according to the laws of Jingguo, applications for the death penalty must be reported to each level and reviewed by the Ministry of Punishment many times. Finally, they must be drawn out by the emperor in his own hand before being "asked to be executed". How can it be so simple?
Even if his identity is what he thinks, he is not qualified to issue such an order.
However, seeing him with a sullen face and saying "drag him out and behead him" so easily, Magistrate Liu felt more and more that his background was unfathomable.
Magistrate Liu is like this, let alone the officials above the court.
As soon as the young county captain opened his mouth, they were a little confused.
If words are repeated and the voice is raised, does that mean he is lying?
Rubbing your nose means trying to hide the truth?
If you keep rubbing your thumbs, does it mean you are feeling panic?
This method of settling a case is simply unheard of!
What makes them even more unbelievable is that with his ugly eyebrows and rat-like eyes, he is not a good person at first glance--when did being ugly become a crime?
Lord County Lieutenant, can you be more hasty in settling the case?
The next words of the county captain confirmed their guess, it really can!
Drag him out and behead him?
Make a decision?
The government officials smiled bitterly in their hearts. You are just a county captain, not the emperor. Who gave you such great power?
Seeing the shocked faces of everyone around him, Li Xuan taunted a group of bumpkins that he had never seen before. How could these few words frighten them?
You know, those standing in front of them are freaks who can turn right into wrong, turn black into white, turn the ground under their feet into a ball, and make people doubt life with just one sentence. Compared with these, what I just said
What does it matter?
After knowing Li Yi for so long, Li Xuan has a deep understanding not to doubt anything he says.
If you think what he said is wrong, there is only one possibility: you are not smart enough.
In other words, his IQ is not enough. He only learned the word IQ from Li Yi not long ago.
At this time, the young man kneeling on the ground was already stunned.
Beheaded...beheaded?
He raised his head and glanced at the young man who had just spoken, and saw that his face was serious and did not look like he was joking. His vision suddenly went dark, and he collapsed on the ground in an instant.
Even the man named Wang Er next to him couldn't help but froze when he heard this.
Is this gentleman serious?
The next moment, a miserable cry came from the court.
"My lord, have mercy on me, my lord, have mercy on me!"
The young man got up from the ground and kowtowed as if he were pounding garlic. "It's all villains who are obsessed with money. They accidentally saw the place where the master's money was hidden that day, and he had bad intentions. Yesterday, while the master was away, he
I stole the silver and now I buried it under the third peach tree in the backyard. I am willing to take anything from you. Sir, please spare my life!"
This young man is just a lowly servant, and he doesn't know the twists and turns of criminal justice. After hearing the words "dragged out and beheaded", he was completely stupid. How could he dare to deny it?
Ten taels of silver are nothing. If you continue like this, your life will be lost!
It’s just a few dozen taels of silver, right?
The courtroom continued to be silent, and all the government officials couldn't help but say such a curse word in their hearts.
Is this okay for his mother?
Magistrate Liu was also extremely shocked. He glanced at Li Yi, who had regained his calm expression. For a moment, he was not sure whether he was doing it accidentally or if he had a plan.
If it was the latter, then he would have to re-examine Li County Lieutenant.
The reason is that the other party's official position was obtained only by virtue of his background. In the future, he will be just a confused county captain at best. Now it seems that he was a little underestimated before.
Seeing the young man kowtow as if pounding garlic, Li Yi felt a little bored.
I had nothing to do the past few days. While I was basking in the sun in the yard, I read a few books, such as "How to Recognize Micro-expressions", "The Secret of Micro-Expressions", "The FBI Teaches You Mind Reading" and so on... It was originally just a hug.
I was out of curiosity, but I didn't expect that it would come in handy here.
I thought this young man could hold on for a while, but I didn't expect him to be recruited so quickly.
At this time, the eyes of those government officials looking at Li Yi had undergone tremendous changes.
No one anymore thought that the young county lieutenant was just a worthless embroidered pillow. Most of them were police officers, and their daily duties were to chase murderers and catch thieves. Zhou County Lieutenant was lazy, and some trivial cases were also ignored.
They will be asked to assist in the process, and they all have their own rules for torture and trial cases.
Lieutenant Li was so observant that he could even notice details such as rubbing his nose and stroking his thumb. Although they were not quite sure what the actions Lieutenant Li just said meant, after seeing the young man's confession, they
I am already seven or eight percent convinced.
Later, he was convicted because of his ugliness, which disturbed his mind. The sentence "Drag him out and behead him!" was such a stroke of genius that the prisoner's mind completely collapsed and he confessed to the theft...
From this one thing alone, it can be seen that he is a more powerful character than Zhou Xianwei!
This young county captain is not simple...
"Hey, what are the reasons for what you just said..." Li Xuan regained his curious nature, and asked regardless of the fact that this was a courtroom.
He was really curious about how Li Yi could guess what that person was thinking through these subtle movements.
If you can learn this trick, won't you be able to read people's minds casually in the future?
Not only Li Yi, everyone present was curious about this question, and dozens of pairs of eyes looked over in an instant.
Even Magistrate Liu is no exception.
Li Yi turned to look at Li Xuan, "Do you really want to know?"
Li Xuan looked at his half-smiling expression, his heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly had an unpleasant feeling.
Thinking of the fact that every time Li Yi subverted his understanding before, it made him doubt the world. It was difficult to eat and sleep peacefully. Only by experiencing it himself can he know the feeling...
"Let's discuss this matter some time later." Li Xuan turned pale and shook his head hurriedly.
Thinking of those terrible encounters, most of the curiosity in his heart was instantly reduced.
Li Yi did not explain, and all the government officials were very disappointed. Even though Magistrate Liu was curious, it was hard to ask at this moment. He waved his hand, and the government officials understood and took the young man who stole the money away.
After solving the case, before Magistrate Liu could breathe a sigh of relief, a government servant walked in from the door and whispered a few words beside him.
"Mr. Liu, regarding the arson case, Shopkeeper Wu is here again..."
Upon hearing this, County Magistrate Liu rubbed his eyebrows and sighed in his heart... When will days like this end!
When his peripheral vision glanced at Lieutenant Li, Magistrate Liu's eyes suddenly lit up.
