after falling asleep

Chapter 383 123. Jin Tiansu

The mighty red gate, the two stone lions are lifelike.

The Dengwen drum hangs outside the door and has not been used for a long time, so it is covered with a layer of dust.

It was heard that there was excitement to watch when the trial was held, and the people of Fei County overcame their fear of the government and came to join in the excitement.They swarmed up and squeezed to the gate of the county government office, creating a chaotic scene.

In front of the hall, there are two vermilion lacquer pillars inlaid with a pair of wooden couplets. Under the scorching sun in the afternoon, the four simple characters hung on the mirror are vivid and vivid.

In the back yamen, the Yasi took a look at the lobby, and there was a crowd of people outside the county yamen.At a rough glance, there were hundreds of people, and there were still many crowding outside the gate to listen.

Yasi trotted back to the seat in the back hall, and respectfully said to Mu Su: "Lord Mu, the common people have arrived."

Musu took the tea from the servant, rinsed it in his mouth, spat it aside and wiped the water stains from the corner of his mouth, and said, "Got it."

A servant with a pen, ink, paper and inkstone passed by, but was stopped by Mu Su.He picked up the brush and dipped it in ink, and wiped a small crescent on his forehead.

Snapped--

Throwing the brush back to the tray, Mu Su waved for him to leave.

"My lord, this is..." Ya Si stared at Mu Su and hesitated between his brows.

Mu Su didn't answer, he lifted his official robe and walked into the lobby.

Following Musu's appearance, there were whispers outside the hall.
Yasi followed Musu in, and sat down at a small table in a corner.The book office retired early and returned home to escape from the wrong place.Now the job of recording cases can only be done by the escort.

"Master Wu—"

Mu Su sat down and looked at Wu Yasi.

The governor understood, got up and briefly explained the case.

He didn't understand Musu's intention of holding a joint trial.The open court trial is to interrogate and sentence the murderer after the murderer is caught, and it is done for the common people to see.Now that the murderer has no clue, how will the case be tried.

But since Muzhi County did this, he must have his reasons.

Soon, the No.1 witness was announced to the lobby: watchman Wang Wu.

Mu Su knocked on the gavel, and said in a cold voice, "Tell me what you heard that night, what you saw, what you saw, what you did, and what you did."

The crisp sound of the gavel made Wang Wu, who was kneeling on the ground, tremble, and hastily repeated what he had said before.

"During the pass by the Sun Mansion, you didn't hear the screams, and you didn't see any suspicious figures, did you?"

"Yes sir."

Mu Su nodded his head: "Brother Wu Zuo goes to the court!"

Not long after, a middle-aged man in a gray robe with an expressionless face came to the lobby, knelt down and saluted: "I have met the magistrate."

"Tell me what you found."

Wu Zuo nodded, straightened his upper body and said, "My lord, the thirteen members of the Sun family were all killed in a short period of time. The wounds were short and forward, and they were wounded by weapons such as daggers. They were all fatal wounds. The villain dared to kill you." Your Excellency, please allow the body to be presented to the hall."

"That's right."

Not long after, four police officers carried a stretcher covered with a white cloth into the lobby and put it on the left and right of Wu Zuo.

The crowd was silent, looking in on tiptoes.

"My lord, please take a look." Wu Zuo said as he lifted the white cloth.Two dead faces were revealed in front of everyone.

This is a fat middle-aged man with a wound on his chest, and his face was frozen into the last expression before death.

The other person is slightly younger, somewhat similar to a middle-aged man.The throat is slit, and the expression is the same, but richer.

Wu Zuo said: "The head of the Sun family is surprised, and his eldest son is panicked."

Mu Su pondered and said: "That is to say, the murderer took advantage of their unpreparedness and quickly killed another person."

"Exactly." Wu Zuo covered the white cloth again. "Analyzed by the villain, the murderer stabbed the owner and his eldest son who were caught off guard in the living room, and then killed the second son and his wife when they were in a panic. At this time, the eldest daughter-in-law and the younger daughter reacted and fled. The insane murderer Then rush up and kill them and the servants. Destroy the Sun family!"

[In this way, the murderer is either someone familiar with the Sun family, or a guest of the Sun family. 】Transparent bridge analysis said.

Mu Su nodded: "So, the murderer is either someone familiar with the Sun family, or a guest of the Sun family."

【…】

【How handsome! 】

"Exactly."

Mu Su asked: "That is to say, the murderer possesses martial arts and is also someone familiar with the Sun family?"

Wu Zuo replied: "My lord, that's right."

Mu Su turned his head and asked, "Captor, who are the people who meet the above conditions in Fei County?"

"Returning to my lord, there are eight people in total, except for those who can prove that they were not present that day, there are only three people left."

Mu Su leaned back on the back of the jujube wood chair and said, "Let them go to the hall."

Catch your head and hold your fists together to leave.

The interrogation was temporarily suspended, and the people outside the Yamen began to whisper to each other.Except for the Sun family, the owner of the case, the topic they talked about was the very young Xinxian county magistrate.

Trials of homicide cases when new in office are much better than the previous corrupt officials who did nothing but make a lot of money.

After a stick of incense, the catcher came back from the yamen, followed by three people.

The three people came to the hall, two of them knelt and kowtowed, and the other bowed and cupped their hands.

"The villain Sun Haiying has met the adults."

"The villain Song Nan has met the adults."

"Late-born Gongyangke, I met the magistrate."

Mu Su's eyes fell on Gong Yang Ke: "Do you have a reputation?"

Gong Yangke replied respectfully: "I'm really ashamed. I have been a weaker student for three years, and I'm still a scholar without any fame."

Mu Su nodded, "Where were you that night?"

"Master Huizhi County, the younger generation is studying hard in the room."

Musu asked the other two, all of them were in his own room.

Suddenly the subject changed, and he yelled coldly: "Sun Haiying, you are telling the truth, why did you destroy Sun's family!"

Sun Haiying raised her head in a daze: "What did you say, my lord...?"

Mu Su slapped the gavel heavily: "Don't tell me, drag it out and chop it up!"

The chief's heart trembled, could it be that this lord wants to catch a scapegoat?
Seeing two yamen servants rushing forward to arrest Sun Haiying, the latter struggled violently: "My lord! I don't have it! I don't have it!"

Everyone couldn't react in time to everything that happened, causing an uproar.

Mu Su glanced at the progress of the task, and there was an extra general judgment.

This means that only the judgment is completed, and there is no distinction between right and wrong.

Sun Haiying is not the murderer.

"Don't worry, it's just to test you." Mu Su suddenly waved his hand to let the yamen servant let him go, said a word of test lightly, and looked at the second person.

"Song Nan, where were you that night?"

"The little guy is..."

Song Nan was terrified, but he didn't expect that just halfway through the sentence, Mu Su shouted: "This person is a murderer, drag him into the prison, and behead him at noon tomorrow."

The two yamen servants appeared again.

Song Nan repeatedly kowtowed and shouted: "I didn't... I was wronged! I was wronged, my lord!"

"Okay, I got it." Mu Su studied and nodded perfunctorily as if playing, and turned to the last person.

In just a dozen or so peaks and turns, the people have long been dumbfounded, and Yasi's pen that recorded the process could not be put down.

Seeing Mu Su, Gong Yangke bit the bullet and cupped his hands: "The county magistrate——"

"Drag and chop!"

Two yamen servants jumped out, one on the left and the other on the right, subdued Gong Yangke.

Just at this time, the progress of the task suddenly changed.So-so judgment becomes good judgment.

The corners of Musu's mouth curled up.
