The remaining qi machines are all mortals. Even if they are suppressed by official luck, they will not reach the level of disturbing Wu Yi.
Wu Yi played back the events he had deduced in front of the female ghost like a slide, and said: "If there are any discrepancies, you might as well point them out!"
The confident tone and plain face made the female ghost hesitate for a moment. She was finally willing to speak and said: "Why do you want to help me!"
"I'm not helping you, I'm helping myself!" Wu Yi replied.
The female ghost knows that Wu Yi intends to use his case to make a fuss, but so what. Compared with redressing his injustice, it doesn't matter even if he is used by others. She is worthy of being used by others, which means that the other party will not fool her.
Next, the female ghost took the initiative to dictate the course of the case. A personal dictation may not be completely correct, and a one-sided observation is not comprehensive. However, after all, the dictation of the person involved is of high value and helped Wu Yi improve his deduction.
Wu Yi, who was just eating melons at first, learned from the female ghost's mouth a piece of news that was neither big nor small, but was absolutely beneficial to Wu Yi at the moment.
This case is not a particularly complicated one. This woman was originally a daughter of a good family in the countryside. Shen Congyue was called Shen Congyue. As her name suggests, she was a law-abiding woman.
When she was sitting at home, misfortune came from heaven. She was just helping her father go to the city to sell vegetables, but she was noticed by the county captain who was out on inspection. He first tried to clean up the city and forced the woman to serve him, otherwise he would not be allowed to set up a stall.
Unable to do so, he threatened the lives of his family members. Shen Congyue originally thought that the other party was just a threat and did not dare to carry out the act. Unexpectedly, the county captain was so bold that he detained Shen Congyue's parents in the county government office on a false accusation.
In fact, it cannot be said that the charges were fabricated out of thin air. The harvest in Chenliu County has been poor in recent years, but the county magistrate continued to collect taxes from the people while asking for tax exemption.
The purpose of bullying the superiors and concealing the inferiors is to make up for the shortcomings in the past. In the past, the county government was lavish and owed a lot of money to the local wealthy households. If the year was good, they could still make ends meet. But if the year was not good, the secret would be exposed instantly, and it would be impossible to suppress it. .
The county magistrate has a very good grasp of his methods. He will not send anyone to investigate a small disaster. Even if he does an investigation, he will run up and down and make good accounts, he can still fool the people. Even if the people below are affected by the disaster, not many people will starve to death, and it will not lead to a civil commotion. , risks are controllable.
In the end, the gentry's money will be returned in full, and the people's money will be divided into 30 and 70. Be a county magistrate! Who doesn't come here to make money?
However, as mentioned before, the annual cost of Chenliu County is not good. How can it be such a simple thing to forcefully collect taxes?
If you don't pay taxes, you may be oppressed by the government and die. If you pay taxes, you may starve to death immediately. To choose between the two, it is naturally better to fight against the government.
The people's resistance to taxes did not just happen once or twice. Almost every household has this "dark history", and the same goes for Shen Congyue's family.
Is this a crime? Regardless of whether it is a crime or not, it is still an excuse. Not only Shen Congyue's parents, but also other people were detained to scare the monkeys.
In the eyes of the Chenliu County magistrate, resisting taxes is naturally a sin, but if he takes a longer-term view and deceives his superiors and deceives his subordinates, the sin is obviously more serious.
If something is good from above, it will be followed by below. The magistrate of Chenliu County is so miserable, how many people working under him can be clean. This county captain is a very typical one, if he didn't know the magistrate Don't dare to rob civilian girls in broad daylight.
The county lieutenant detained Shen Congyue's parents to the Yamen, privately for his own selfish reasons, but publicly he was doing something for the county magistrate.
If the tax revenue cannot be raised and the deficit cannot be made up, the political life of the county magistrate will not be cut off, and even his life may not be saved. It is better to go all out and kill the chicken to scare the monkeys.
Yes, Shen Congyue's parents were the chickens that were killed, and as for the monkeys, they were the other people in Chenliu County.
One party wants to collect taxes, and the other party has no money to pay taxes. Conflict is inevitable. Shen Congyue was not present during the trial, but she only knew that her parents died tragically in the Yamen because they "contradicted the county magistrate and roared in court."
Half a hundred parents were killed by water, fire and sticks. Shen Congyue not only agreed to the county captain's love, but also had the intention to kill him. After pretending to obey him, he bit off the county captain's ear.
Then, it was time to undergo various punishments, from being tortured to finally dying, it only took three or four days to turn a woman with a gentle personality and abiding by the law into a fierce ghost. You can imagine what she went through.
In fact, in a prison where there is no separation between men and women, once a woman enters the prison, she should not think about coming out intact.
Because the content of the case was not complicated, and it only lasted about a quarter of an hour, Shen Congyue basically finished the narration, and her expression was extremely calm, as if she was not telling her own story.
Of course, this was just a look on her face. She felt like a volcano about to erupt in her heart, which could overturn the entire prison at any time. In the short time she was recounting it, Wu Yi could clearly feel that the power in Shen Congyue's body was The anger became a little stronger.
Through Shen Congyue's narration, Wu Yi frowned and thought. Originally, he just wanted to overturn the verdict and fight for a clear name. However, given the current situation in Chenliu County, if he instigated it himself, he could definitely play a big game and instigate a popular uprising!
The more he thought about it from this angle, the more delighted Wu Yi was, because the probability of success was extremely high, and the risk was not high. Even if it was a dead person, his blood would not be splashed on him.
Since the purpose is to disrupt the national destiny of the Daji Dynasty, what is a more direct method than civil unrest?
Shen Cong made an appointment with Wu Yi and bowed his head without saying a word. After the punishment, her temperament changed drastically. She became suspicious and worried that Wu Yi was going to betray her. There was a stern look in her eyes.
Wu Yi sensed this change and didn't care. He asked, "Are you going to avenge your parents, or are you going to avenge the whole place?"
During the questioning, Wu Yi was upright and hid his selfishness in his upright words. Invisibly, it would naturally affect Shen Congyue.
As expected, she hesitated. She had not completely lost her mind in the form of a fierce ghost, otherwise she would not have been able to maintain this appearance. At this moment, because of the rising demands, the resentment in her heart expanded.
After a period of inner tangle, Shen Congyue did not agree directly, but asked: "How to say?"
"If it's just to avenge your parents, the most I can do is rescue you and kill the county captain, or wipe out his whole family, leaving no chickens or dogs behind!"
Just hearing the word county captain made Shen Congyue furious, and purple-blue resentment surged out of his eyes.
Wu Yi continued: "If you want to avenge your fellow villagers, then collect the evidence of the Chenliu County Magistrate's crime and punish him according to law! Clean up the entire Chenliu County officialdom!"
