Being interrupted by Li Yi, Magistrate Liu was not surprised but overjoyed.
He was really stunned by Zhao Fang's anger just now. If a punishment stick was thrown out and he was punished, it would be a good thing that he set the fire. If he wrongly accused a good person, there would be a lot of censors waiting there.
…
Perhaps because of such a trivial matter, when His Majesty was in a bad mood and a copy of Ginseng was given to him, Magistrate Liu had to pack up and leave.
"I wonder what County Lieutenant Li thinks?" County Magistrate Liu had already taken his hand away from the punishment sign, looked at him and said with a smile.
"Human life is at stake. There is only one life for everyone. Don't make a hasty decision." Li Yi stood up from the chair and said.
When Zhao Fang heard this, he felt happy. What this young adult said was extremely reasonable. It would be best to avoid the punishment as well.
"That's what Li County Lieutenant said." Liu Zhixian nodded, with confusion in his eyes, but he didn't know what Li Yi wanted to say.
"I heard that there is a kind of punishment called ant punishment. The prisoner is stripped naked, covered with honey, and then several ant nests are placed next to the prisoner. The ants like the sweetness and will crawl all over the prisoner's body. Even if
Even after being bitten, there will be no wounds. Why don't you try this, sir?" Li Yi said with a smile, but this smile looked like a devil to all the government officials.
Just thinking about that scene, they felt uncomfortable all over, as if there were really countless ants crawling on their bodies, and some of them even couldn't help but reach out to catch them.
Li Xuan's eyes were also a little frightened. The scene described by Li Yi was so strong that he couldn't help but look up at the ground. He saw a few ants crawling under his feet. He hurriedly raised his feet and stayed away from them.
County Magistrate Liu secretly swallowed a mouthful of saliva, thinking of a certain scene and getting goosebumps.
"Ant punishment?" After hearing what the young adult said, Zhao Fang, who was kneeling in the hall, couldn't help but shiver, and cold sweat ran down his back.
The worst thing in his life was to see things piled together densely. Just thinking about the scene of ants crawling all over his body made him feel more uncomfortable than death. His body no longer had the strength to support it, and he collapsed in the hall.
"Sir, the villain did it, the villain did it, the villain set the fire, the villain set it..." Shopkeeper Zhao, who was frightened by a certain picture in his mind, collapsed on the ground, his face pale and his eyes exposed.
I was so frightened that even my voice became weak.
Seeing that guy lying there like mud, Li Yi was also a little surprised.
This is just an ordinary ant. Have you not seen those reality show games in later island countries, where cute girls dare to get into a box full of snakes, insects, rats and ants alone? Compared with it, what does this mean?
Looking at this guy's face as pale as a paper, and almost losing half of his life in fear, doesn't he have a phobia of ants?
Shopkeeper Zhao, who was like mud, was dragged away. All the government officials looked at Li Yi with great admiration, looked at each other, and suddenly bowed at the same time and said: "The county captain is mighty!"
By now, they had put away all their contempt for this young county captain.
There is no need to use torture, no need to force a confession, just a few words can make the suspect confess to the crime. Not to mention Anxi County Government, even Qing'an Prefecture, or even the entire Jingguo, who can do this?
With such a county lieutenant, will there be any cases that they can't solve in the future?
Before he officially took office, Li Yi had already convinced all the government officials with what happened today.
Of course, County Magistrate Liu was also convinced. Seeing with his own eyes how powerful County Lieutenant Li was, he would feel more at ease about the security situation in the county in the future.
I was worried before that Your Majesty would force a royal playboy into the county government, but now I have completely dispelled this worry.
Li Yixian came to the county office not to settle the case. Since County Magistrate Liu said he could still have one month's vacation, if he came to work so early, wouldn't he let down the court's good intentions?
After exchanging pleasantries with Magistrate Liu, he said goodbye and prepared to enjoy his one-month vacation.
County Magistrate Liu smiled and said something so that he didn't have to rush to take office. Although it was a bit against his will, he would only have to work hard for another month at most, which was far less important than the favor of selling County Lieutenant Li.
…………
"Phew, it finally came out..."
In a certain room in the county government office, a young man opened the door and let out a long sigh of relief.
The young man surnamed Liu was in a good mood after being incarcerated for so long by the county magistrate for no apparent reason. Today he was finally able to come out for some air.
Something has been wrong with my father recently, and he is always getting angry at him for no reason. The young man named Liu decided to stay away from him when he saw him, so as not to cause another disaster.
When he walked out of the back office, he happened to see someone walking out of the front hall. The moment he saw the young scholar, the young man named Liu first showed a hint of astonishment on his face, and then showed a look of ecstasy.
There is a road to heaven, but if you don't take it, there is no door to hell. Breaking in, you unexpectedly met this guy in the county government who had ruined his good deeds and beat him up. Could it be that this guy got a lawsuit?
"Haha..." The young man surnamed Liu laughed wildly, strode over, pointed at the scholar, and said mockingly: "You never expected that one day you would fall into my hands!"
Seeing that the scholar's face was stunned, as if he was frightened, the young man named Liu felt even more relieved. Just as he was about to call the officer, he suddenly heard an extremely gloomy voice.
"Whose hands did it fall into?"
A foot wearing official boots suddenly popped out from the hall. The young man named Liu who was standing at the door was unprepared and was kicked on the butt. He staggered and almost fell to the corridor. He regained his balance.
After taking shape, he suddenly became furious, turned around and shouted: "Which bastard dares to kick me...Dad!"
At this glance, the young man surnamed Liu who looked straight at him turned pale and lost his soul.
"Guizi, what did you just say?" Magistrate Liu said coldly, his face as black as the bottom of a pot.
"Dad, I, I don't know..." The young man surnamed Liu's voice trembled. Before he could finish speaking, Magistrate Liu waved his hand and ordered a government servant: "Take this traitor back to my room and close the door behind you."
Months of confinement, and you are not allowed to step out of the room without my permission!"
Hearing this, the young man surnamed Liu felt his eyes darken. If the yamen servant hadn't seen that the situation was bad and helped him, he might have been unable to stand long ago.
Three months of confinement would cost him his life!
Looking at the young scholar tremblingly, even a fool knows that the reason why the father is angry is all because of him. Who is this scholar?
After the young man surnamed Liu was taken away by the officer, Magistrate Liu showed an apologetic look and said: "Li County Lieutenant, I'm really sorry. The dog was naughty and bumped into County Lieutenant Li. I hope you won't be offended."
County Magistrate Liu was furious at this time. This traitor was causing trouble everywhere, and today he actually uttered arrogant words in front of the Crown Prince... After sending off County Lieutenant Li, he must be dealt with properly. If this traitor cannot change his past, sooner or later he will be punished.
One day, like Zhou Xianwei's brother-in-law, he will dig out a huge trap for him...
