Chapter 35
On the second day, Qianxian county government.

"mighty……"

In the lobby of the county government office, Mrs. Zhang with a pale complexion was brought into the lobby accompanied by shouts from the servants holding water and fire sticks.

Shen county magistrate, who was sitting behind the case, looked down at the hall, slapped the gavel angrily, and shouted: "Who is in the hall?"

Zhang Laoqi stretched his lower back and said calmly: "Caomin...Minister Zhang.

There was a trace of disdain in the eyes, it has been so many years, and these routines are used every time, who are they scaring?

"Come here, this prisoner despises the court and hits the ten boards hard, just to make an example to others!"

County Magistrate Shen on the stage was thinking about it, remembering the news brought back by the guards yesterday that Master Ye was dead, Wu Fan was shocked, and ordered Magistrate Shen to try the case immediately the next day, and Zhang San must be drawn out.

At this time, a net has been laid in the court, just waiting for Zhang San to appear.

So County Magistrate Shen wanted to force Zhang San to come out quickly, so he came up with the idea of ​​beating him up.

County magistrate Shen did not play cards according to common sense, which changed Zhang Laoqi's expression.

He glanced at the crowd behind him, but he didn't see the immortal who came to the prison that day.

"My lord, what is the crime of a common woman?"

Unwilling to be reconciled, Zhang Laoqi asked in a hoarse voice.

Shen County Magistrate was deliberately finding fault, intending to win the first blow, and got Zhang to plead guilty. He just found a reason: "An old woman in her 50s twists her waist and hips. She is indecent. She should be beaten!"

The old woman in the audience was seriously ill a few days ago, but today she is alive and well. A few days ago, she must have been feigning illness and must be severely punished.

"This"

Before Zhang Laoqi could continue to defend, the yamen servants standing on both sides had already forced him on the stool, and two other yamen servants stood on each side, raised their canes and dropped them heavily.

"Oh!"

Where did Zhang Lao Qi suffer from such a loss, and was about to tell the story of himself pretending to be Mrs. Zhang, when he suddenly found that the board that fell on him was loud, but it didn't seem to hurt at all.

Could it be that someone gave the yamen servant a favor in advance and ordered him to beat him lightly?

It is worth mentioning that the way the yamen servant beats people is worth mentioning. One is to be light on the outside and heavy on the inside. If the county magistrate intends to punish someone, after the yamen servant beats someone, there will be no visible injuries on the surface, and the pelvic internal organs may have been broken inside.

There is another kind that is heavy on the outside and light on the inside. After the beating, it looks like the skin is torn apart, but in fact it hurts the skin but not the bones. But to a layman, it would feel that the person was severely beaten.

Therefore, there are Youzi who often go to court to make a good way ahead of time, even if they get boarded, it will not be a serious problem.

"bang bang bang"

After the top ten boards were played, Zhang Laoqi was unscathed and even felt a little comfortable.

County magistrate Shen is well versed in the way of yamen servants beating people, seeing that Mrs. Zhang has no injuries on the surface, he thought that the yamen servant understood his own thoughts and used the method of ignoring the outside and focusing on the inside.

He was overjoyed, and asked, "Mr. Zhang, the prisoner, do you know the crime?"

Zhang Laoqi is as treacherous as a fox. The immortal only said to let me go to court, but nothing else. After the quick trial, he can be rescued by the immortal. He is about to nod his head and plead guilty
A voice suddenly came, interrupting his plan: "My lord, the students have something to say."

Outside the hall, a handsome and handsome scholar in white squeezed in and stood at the bottom of the hall.

"Who are you?"

County magistrate Shen was sitting upright, and the sudden appearance of the young scholar made him feel a little bad.

"Xuanyang is the last student to join Luo Xiang, see Master Qingtian."

He Pingan stood under the hall and bowed.

"Why don't you kneel when you see me?"

County magistrate Shen said coldly.

"Students are lucky enough to pass the college examination and have a reputation. It is the court practice not to kneel when they see the court officials."

He Pingan explained loudly.

"Do you have proof?"

"There is a way to cite as evidence."

He Pingan took out the guide from his arms and handed it to the follower next to him.

He Ding handed Lu Yin to County Magistrate Shen, and County Magistrate Shen took out the official seal. Under the urging of Confucianism and Taoism, a white light shone on Lu Yin from the official seal, and some information had fallen into the mind of County Magistrate Shen.

The Daxuan official seal has endless uses, not only can it detect information, it can also be used as a communication message, and it can even control the entire county government formation.

In case of monsters attacking the city, the official seal can also be changed in size and used as a magical weapon. If it is smashed down with a thousand-ton force, the lower-rank monsters will be killed on the spot.

"Um"

The official seal shows that this Luo Xiang is indeed a scholar in Xuanyang Gyeonggi.

After returning Lu Yin to He Pingan with Ding Jiang, County Magistrate Shen asked: "Since you are a scholar from Xuanyang Jingji, what's the matter here?"

"The student's family is poor, so in his free time, he works as a lawyer to subsidize his family."

"Today, I was entrusted by someone to avenge Zhang's grievance."

He Pingan spoke eloquently without any panic.

Upon hearing this, County Magistrate Shen's face became even colder: "Who entrusted you?"

"Don't dare to hide my lord, the man dropped 50 taels of silver and disappeared, I don't know his name."

He Pingan explained.

"In this case, you can listen to the trial on the sidelines, and you can't speak unless you ask me."

County magistrate Shen dismissed He Pingan aside, and flirted with the master next to him. The master understood, and quickly rushed to the backyard of the county government office.

This person's identity was suspicious, he was probably Zhang San's accomplice, and he informed the prince to ask him to send someone to suppress the place.

"Mr. Zhang, the criminal, do you know the crime?"

County Magistrate Shen asked again.

Zhang Laoqi was about to answer, when a voice came from his mind: "I'll say something, and you answer it."

He was overjoyed in his heart, knowing that the immortal had come.

"Ms. Zhang, what is the crime?"

Zhang Laoqi suddenly raised his head, staring at the magistrate Shen on the stage with burning eyes.

County magistrate Shen looked a little horrified, and avoided Zhang's eyes: "Bold, you dare to ask me! Someone reported that your son Zhang San committed a murder with a knife back then, and it was you who instigated it."

"Yes or no?"

"My lord, the women were wronged. The women didn't even know what happened back then."

"Afterwards, San'er was stopped in time and let him be caught without a fight."

County magistrate Shen frowned: "The criminal wife, Mrs. Zhang, dare to argue."

"Bring witnesses for Li Hui to go to court."

As soon as the voice fell, a middle-aged man with pockmarked face was brought into the hall.

"Isn't this Li Mazi?"

"I usually don't do business, eat, drink, prostitute and gamble, and become a witness today?"

The onlookers were pointing and discussing.

Zhang Laoqi's complexion changed a few times. This Li Mazi usually has some business contacts with him.

County Magistrate Shen frowned and shouted, "Silence!"

Then he pointed to Li Mazi and said, "Witness Li Hui, tell me what happened that day in detail."

"Yes, my lord."

Li Mazi knelt beside Zhang Laoqi, and said vividly, "I still remember the night before the crime eight years ago, I was drunk and passed by Zhang San's house."

"I happened to hear Zhang San's mother tell Zhang San in the courtyard that Zhang San's wife, Hong Xing, had been found out a few months ago, but there was no evidence."

"Let Zhang San pretend to go to the countryside to slaughter pigs tomorrow, return halfway, and catch some stolen goods."

"It's best to kill it with a knife."

As soon as this remark came out, the audience was in an uproar, and the people in the hall were talking about it. Zhang Laoqi's face turned pale at the right time, as if he had a ghost in his heart.

County magistrate Shen was very satisfied with the reaction from the audience, he slapped the gavel, and shouted: "Mr. Zhang, the prisoner, what else can you say?"

At this time, Zhang Laoqi hesitated and couldn't speak, as if he had already felt guilty.

"My lord, Wansheng has something to ask the witness."

At this moment, He Pingan stood up.

At this time, County Magistrate Shen has already received a sound transmission from Wu Shizi's guard. This scholar is just an ordinary person with no cultivation, so there is no need to worry about it.

What the fourth-rank martial arts monk said must be true.

County magistrate Shen was determined that this person would not be able to cause much trouble, and he still wanted Zhang San to show up: "Okay, I will give you a chance, if you can't ask any questions, you can immediately return to Xuanyang. "

He Pingan bowed and saluted, nodded in agreement, and then walked up to Li Mazi: "Li Hun, let me ask you."

"What happened eight years ago, why didn't you report it to the official that day, and only came to report it in the past few days?"

"Yeah, that's a reasonable question."

"Why didn't you report to the government eight years ago?"

As soon as this remark came out, there was a lot of discussion outside the hall.
