Dayong Nu sentenced to death

Chapter 7 What a bad luck!

"what?"

Everyone looked forward to it and listened attentively.

Su Rao lowered her eyes slowly, looking at the woman lying on the ground, "My lord only needs to order someone to check the entry and exit records of the North City Gate to know who tied Mrs. Li. It’s really not easy to bring them into the city.”

"You mean she's out of town today?"

The county magistrate sent someone to investigate, and asked suspiciously: "What is she going out of the city to do? The wilderness, could it be..."

"My lord, the case is based on reason, not random guessing."

Just looking at the flickering eyes of Yi Su Rao, he knew that he was thinking of something bad, and his voice was a little cold, "Today is Master Li's memorial day. Every year at this time, she would go to the tomb outside the city alone and stay for half a day."

"That's it!"

The magistrate touched his nose resentfully, and said nothing.

After waiting for a reply, Su Rao turned around and walked out.

He walked straight to the fence and stood still, looking around at the dark crowd, and no one could avoid where his eyes passed.

"Treasurer Wang."

She called out suddenly.

The man who was called was stunned for a moment, pushed and squeezed forward, cupped his fists and bowed: "What's the matter, Miss Su?"

Su Rao took out a silver ingot from her sleeve and handed it over, "Please trouble the shopkeeper to prepare two good coffins for me, the sooner the better."

"I'm going right now."

He looked into the hall, took the silver ingots, and said lightly: "The deceased is gone, the girl wants to express her condolences by the way."

Su Rao nodded and thanked, and returned to the hall after he left.

Unexpectedly, in a short period of time, the county magistrate who was supposed to sit firmly in the courtroom disappeared!

Staring at the empty seat, Su Rao couldn't help but frowned.

Seeing this, the team leader took two steps forward and explained: "Someone at home said that the old lady was unwell, so please explain something to me, sir."

"understood."

It is human nature to put filial piety first, Su Rao nodded slightly in response, and walked aside to wait for the result.

After about half an hour, some impatient noises gradually came from outside.

The team leader was about to give a lecture, when he saw the magistrate came out of the back hall quickly holding his official cap, and sat down again.

"The person who went to inquire has the result?"

he asks.

"Returning to my lord, after screening and interrogation by low-ranking people and others, I found that the most suspected person is Sun Li, and I have sent someone to summon him."

There was an immediate response from outside the hall.

When Su Rao heard the name 'Sun Li', a cold light flashed in her eyes. Speaking of which, he was also an acquaintance of hers. During the days when Liu Tang was entangled in forced marriages, he often sent people to the tavern to make trouble, and he was one of them.

Calculating that Father and Mrs. Li died around You hour, it happened that those people came to the tavern to make trouble, and Sun Li was indeed not among them.

Could it be him?

There are thousands of thoughts in my heart, but nothing is shown on my face.

"My lord, I brought it back!"

After an unknown amount of time, a few yamen servants pushed a man into the lobby. The man was covered in dirt and grass, with his head drooping and he was pushed to the ground. His knees hit the ground with a "boom" sound, like a heavy hammer. tight.

The magistrate asked in a deep voice, "What's going on?"

"Returning to the adults, the lowly officials were ordered to go to the Sun family to pass on the heirs. When they knocked on the door and no one answered, they rushed in. Just in time, he climbed over the wall and wanted to escape. Seeing that he couldn't escape, he turned around and fought with us, and injured several brothers. "

As he spoke, the yamen servant gritted his teeth bitterly.

After ordering them to retreat, the magistrate slapped the hall in shock and said angrily, "Bold Sun Li, you raped and killed Mrs. Li, killed Su Fengyan, and faked the scene of the murder in an attempt to escape the crime. The officials have seen through it, but they still haven't pleaded guilty!"

"I don't understand what you said."

Supporting the ground with his hands, Sun Li slowly sat up straight, and said angrily on his stubble-covered face, "The yamen is amazing, they can break into houses at night and arrest people at will? What rape and murder are smothered to death, nonsense."

"You still dare to quibble when things come to an end, come—"

The county magistrate glared at him and greeted him, "Hold him down, take off his clothes and examine him carefully!"

The yamen servant immediately stepped forward, and seeing this, Sun Li struggled to cover his collar, and shouted while spitting: "Folks, folks, look, the yamen killed people, bastard, son of a bitch, get out, Hurry up, let me see who of you dares to touch me..."

He punched and kicked, pulled hair, bit, and resisted with all his might.

However, two fists were no match for four hands, and in the end his collar and sleeves were pulled away, revealing a series of bright red scratches, criss-crossing and shocking.

"It sure is him!"

Someone exclaimed.

Just four words completely ignited the anger of the audience, and the abuse continued. Amidst the noise, the magistrate shouted angrily: "Now the evidence is solid, how dare you deny it?"

"Evidence? Where is the evidence? I scratched myself because of the itch on my body. Does the government even care about scratching now?"

Sun Li shook his arms, and sat down in the hall with a big grin, not paying attention to the open front of his clothes, picking his teeth with one hand, and scratching around his chest with the other, casually said: "If you can't produce any evidence, hurry up!" Let me go and go home to sleep."

"You are presumptuous!"

Seeing his appearance like a rascal, the county magistrate blushed, "Then tell me, what was in the bag you carried back from outside the city at dusk?"

"Hunted dead deer.

"Where did the deer go?"

"lost."

"Where is it lost?"

"forget!"

"You are clearly stealing words and sophistry."

"..."

The two quarreled with each other after asking and answering. Su Rao watched the scene coldly from the beginning to the end, her eyes flickering, and she didn't say a word.

"My lord, a brother just sent something, saying that he found it in the back kitchen of Sun Li's house, and it was only half burnt."

The yamen servant walked in quickly and presented the item to the county magistrate. The moment Sun Li saw the object, his expression changed suddenly, and he rushed to grab it.

The squad leader moved faster than him, and seeing that the situation was wrong, he raised his foot and kicked it out.

This kick went straight to the center of the socket, and Sun Li fell to the ground on his back, unable to move his body for a long time.

"This is Mrs. Li's lost belt, right? Look, it's still dripping with blood."

The county magistrate glanced at it, looked away in disgust, and motioned for them to give it to Su Rao. Su Rao took it, looked at it for a moment and said, "This is indeed the belt that strangled Mrs. Li."

"Okay, this is stolen and captured, Sun Li, you still haven't pleaded guilty!"

The county magistrate was overjoyed and shouted angrily.

Sun Li was lying on his back, looking at the beams with empty eyes, a smile suddenly cracked on his face as dark as ashes, and as the laughter grew louder, his entire chest was shaking.

"It's really not as good as man's calculation. Who would have thought that this thing was not burnt clean."

"Fortunately, I wasted so much effort to hang that bitch up, then moved the surname Su to the bed, picked up the hairpin and inserted it into his neck, and even ripped off his clothes..."

As he said that, he raised his hand to cover his eyes, and the shadow fell on his face, covering that evil and somewhat cruel smile, which was very permeating.

Just heard a casual voice.

"It's really bad luck..."
