Although no one spoke, the atmosphere in the cell changed.
Mrs. Fang, who was originally angry, was a little nervous, and County Magistrate Li, who was pretending to be dead, was also nervous.
All the officials present felt it.
Obviously Funiu Mountain is a place in Dongping County. Is there anything unique about this place? It makes both the plaintiff and the defendant, the victim and the victim nervous?
"How do you know?"
Two voices asked from the cell.
An old lady Fang and Magistrate Li.
This is even stranger.
When Fang Chengyu mentioned the name of this place, maybe Magistrate Li, who had done something wrong here, was just surprised, but Mrs. Fang was also surprised.
Shouldn't Fang Chengyu know about this place or this matter?
What is this? The officials present were a little curious.
What did you see in Funiu Mountain?
"Chengyu, you..." Mrs. Fang had already stood up, looking a little worried.
"This was not found out by Wang Jiang." Fang Chengyu made a comforting look to the old lady, "This was found out by myself."
Without waiting for Mrs. Fang to speak again, she looked at Magistrate Li again.
"I think there is nothing more than cause and effect in this world. If there is an effect, there must be a cause. So this matter is very simple. You must be related to our Fang family. I checked all the information about you and your relatives. I also checked
Dongping County Chronicle, I also looked through some poetry collections, and then I found a poem."
"This poem was written by a scholar in Dongping County. The poem is not well written, so there is no need to go into details. What attracted me was the small inscription of this poem. He wrote about the relationship with the county magistrate Cao Zunyongxian on September 10th, the fifth year of his reign.
It’s a pleasure to climb Bafeniushan Mountain with friends Wang Ziqing, Huang Ye and Li Changhong.”
When Fang Chengyu said this, he looked at County Magistrate Li.
"Master Li, didn't you say that this is someone with the same name as you?"
The evidence that Li Changhong appeared in Dongping County was actually found in the poem.
The faces of those present were slightly surprised and somewhat moved.
It sounds easy to say, but you can imagine how much it takes to see.
It seems that this thin young man also has some strength.
Magistrate Li's eyes flickered for a moment.
"So what?" he said, "What's wrong with me going to Funiu Mountain? You also said that the poem says that I traveled to the mountains with others. What does it have to do with your Fang family? Does that mean those people who were with me that day?"
Are all the people traveling here harming your Fang family?"
That’s right, what’s wrong with having been to Funiu Mountain?
The most important thing is, what happened in Funiu Mountain that day?
According to Fang Chengyu, the Fang family must have been in Funiu Mountain that day, and what happened happened to be seen by County Magistrate Li, and the cause and effect was formed.
What could make a person plan to harm others for decades?
Everyone here pricked up their ears.
Magistrate Li had a sneer and disdain on his face, with a bit of expectation in his eyes.
It seemed that he was also expected to say something more specific.
Old Mrs. Fang was a little nervous, so she took another step forward. Fang Yuxiu, who was supporting her, could clearly feel her grandmother's tight body.
What happened? As victims, they can't testify against the perpetrators?
A thought flashed through Fang Yuxiu's mind.
In this slight suffocation of silence, Fang Chengyu's relaxed and gentle voice sounded again.
"Master Li, you are talking too much." He said, "Others have been there, of course it doesn't matter, because the one who is tied here now is no one else, but you. Moreover, I am not saying this to ask you for confirmation."
Not asking for confirmation?
Why is that?
When Fang Chengyu was speaking, he backed away with his hands behind his back, taking one step, two steps, and three steps as he spoke, and stopped in front of the soldiers guarding the side.
He gave a brief salute to a soldier.
"Brother Bing, can I lend you your sword?" he said warmly.
Bingwei looked slightly surprised and couldn't help but look at the officials present.
"Master Fang, don't lynching." An official couldn't help but remind him.
Fang Chengyu responded respectfully.
"Don't worry, sir. I know the laws of the country and the rules of the family," he said.
The official stopped talking and glanced at Magistrate Ma. Magistrate Ma still had a blank look on his face, as if he was in a daze.
Bingwei no longer hesitated and pulled out his sword and handed it to him.
Fang Chengyu thanked him again and held the knife.
He behaves politely and politely, and has the skinny frame of a child. He looks extremely out of place and a bit funny holding this murderous knife.
And the way he held the knife was obviously wrong.
"This is my first time holding a knife." He probably knew this and explained to everyone shyly.
However, no one cared about this or his explanation, which made him look even more like a child.
Fang Chengyu walked up to Magistrate Li holding the knife.
"I'm just telling you that I know you have a secret." He continued what he had just said, "Now I don't want to give you evidence, but I want you to tell your secret."
Magistrate Li laughed, but his laughter stopped as soon as it started because the young man put the knife on his neck.
"The book says that scholars have character, have very strong bones, keep their promises, and live till death." Fang Chengyu said, "You know I have been sick for so many years and have not studied or gone to school, and I have never met you scholars, so I want to see you.
Are you really so dignified that you don’t say anything?”
Magistrate Li's expression changed slightly, and the officials present also frowned again.
"You probably know that being sick is boring, especially since I've been sick for so long, so I read a lot of books, some interesting books, and one of them talked about torture methods since ancient times." Fang Chengyu read.
Magistrate Li smiled and said, "I have always doubted the authenticity. Now I might try it on you, Mr. Li."
Not to mention the stinging and cold chill from the knife on the neck, the expression and tone of the young man's words were so strange that it made one's heart tremble.
"Who do you think you are? Who do you think you are? Don't come here and act pretentious." Magistrate Li yelled, furious.
As soon as he finished speaking, the young man withdrew his knife and stabbed it out fiercely.
A low voice sounded in the cell, and Magistrate Li broke into a sweat.
The knife grazed his shoulder and hit the wall behind him.
"You still don't know who we are? How far can we go?" Fang Chengyu leaned close to his ear and whispered in a low voice, "If someone really speaks for you and can save you, my knife will be used now
I won’t get close to you, please wake up, Mr. Li, you are an adult, don’t be as awake as a child like me.”
Master Li looked at him, his expression changing.
Fang Chengyu also looked at him.
"You know we can do it, and you actually know that our reliance is terrible." He said, "otherwise you wouldn't have been planning for so many years and were so cautious in harming people."
Master Li's lips trembled.
"I don't need to know anything else. I just want you to tell me one thing." Fang Chengyu looked at him, "Did you do this yourself? Or was someone instructing you?"
Mr. Li's eyes were a little wandering and his breathing was rapid.
"You only need to answer yes or no." Fang Chengyu's voice rose louder and louder again, "As long as you answer this one or two words, I will give you pleasure."
He didn't say anything about promising to let go.
With such a blood feud, letting go of such words can only be used to coax a child.
They must kill him, but how to kill him is different.
A set of torture and torture, or a brutal killing with a knife to cut the throat.
This is a very cruel but also very kind condition.
The breath in the cell was stagnant, and Mr. Li's distracted vision suddenly became focused and he went crazy.
"I have to do it myself, why can't I do it? Your Fang family can do it, I can do it, anyone can do it, why can't I do it instead?" He suddenly shouted, with a furious look on his face, as if his spirit had finally been shaken.
Forced to collapse.
Everyone in the cell was shocked.
Magistrate Li struggled, and the chains made a clattering sound.
"I'm right behind. I saw it too. Didn't your Fang family pick it up first..." he shouted.
When he said this, Mrs. Fang suddenly took a step forward.
"Kill him," she shouted.
As soon as her voice came out, the knife in Fang Chengyu's hand was pressed cleanly on Magistrate Li's neck, and blood spattered out with a pop.
The rest of County Magistrate Li's words were stuck in his throat, his eyes widened and he clucked twice, then lowered his head and remained motionless.
There was silence in the cell for a while, and then there was an uproar.
