Hearing her breathing steady, Shen Qing calmed down and turned to look at the dark east. She wanted to wait for the first ray of sunshine to shine down in the morning.

Ah!No one can push her into the darkness, no one can step on her.

She will destroy anyone who dares.

If Diao Laoliu heard her voice at this moment, he would definitely kowtow in agreement.

Diao's mother held the medicine bowl and sat on the edge of the bed with tears in her eyes, "Son! What happened to you? How did you end up like this? Did someone harm you? Tell me and my mother will seek justice for you. "

Diao Laoliu opened his mouth, but couldn't make any sound. He was in a hurry!

Diao's mother came close to his mouth and looked at it. Her tongue was still there and there was no bleeding. Why couldn't she speak?
Diao Laoliu touched his neck and screamed for a long time, but Diao's mother still couldn't understand.

Their family had no money to hire a doctor, so Diao Laoliu could only recuperate at home. He was tortured to death by Luo Qin. His periosteum was injured. Even if it was repaired, he would not be able to do heavy work.

As the first ray of sunshine from the sky shone on the earth, Luo Qin slowly woke up. He sat up and rubbed his eyes. He subconsciously went to look for Shen Qing, only to find that she was sitting next to her, sober that she didn't even look like she had slept.

"You, you haven't slept all night, right?"

"Yes!" Shen Qing smiled brightly, with no sign of fatigue on his face, and handed her a freshly baked pancake, "Eat something, we are going to fight."

The two arresters gave Shen Qing so many conveniences because of Chai Liang's entrustment. They did not make things difficult for her, nor did they ask for favors from her. They stayed at a distance when they rested at night.

Because it was a summons, she was not yet a prisoner, so naturally she could not be shackled, but she was still very eye-catching when she was taken away after being arrested.

When they arrived in front of the county government office, it was still early, and the county magistrate would not be so diligent, so they had to wait.

Shen Qing and Luo Qin were both taken to the waiting hall, which was right next to the court. They were going to be interviewed today. Soon, Mrs. Song came too. She didn't come alone. There was a girl with her. Shen Qing looked at Looking at this girl, she felt familiar, but she couldn't remember who she was and where she had seen her before.

They definitely couldn't be locked up together. Madam Song and the girl were taken to a single room next door, separated only by a wall.

After Mrs. Song entered, she couldn't help but taunt her.

"Unexpectedly, you also have today!"

Shen Qing remained silent, there was no point in making a fuss at this time.

Luo Qin just held his hands and wandered, not knowing what he was thinking.

Madam Song was still angry and was still cursing next door.

When I was finally summoned, I didn't follow the order, probably because it was too troublesome to go to court one by one, so I simply took them all with me.

Shen Qing walked in front without knowing it, and Luo Qin followed beside her. Madam Song fell five steps away from the girl, whether because she was afraid or because she didn't want to get too close to her.

As soon as they entered the lobby, they were so frightened that Madam Song and the girl were so frightened that their legs trembled and they almost lost their balance.

Ten government officials stood on each side, neatly dressed, with solemn faces, holding torture sticks in their hands, eyes slightly lowered without squinting.

Directly above, sitting an old man wearing a black gauze hat, a mustache hanging on his chin, and sharp eyes.On the left hand side is the scribe, and on the left hand side stands a man who looks like a scholar.

Before he could see the whole thing, he heard a majestic cold shout.

"How dare you! How dare you look directly at your Lord's face and not kneel down!"

Madam Song and the girl couldn't hold on, and with a thud, they knelt heavily on the ground, lying on the ground, not daring to breathe out.

Although Shen Qing didn't want to kneel down, the situation was stronger than others. If he didn't kneel down at this time, he would be asking for trouble.

"Citizen girl Shen Qing has met the county magistrate!"

The little girl's voice was clear, unhurried, and her kneeling posture was straight.

Luo Qin stood by the door. She was not a prisoner, but Shen Qing's follower. There was no need to kneel down and reply before there was an order.

Yu Kaiyuan's eyes flashed, thinking that this girl, despite her young age, was somewhat calm, and she didn't look like she could commit murder.

But since someone has made a complaint and the complaint has been handed to him, it will naturally be tried. Otherwise, if it goes to the top, it will be his fault again.

Master Yu was shocked and asked in a low voice: "Shen Qing, do you know your guilt?"

Hearing this, Shen Qing almost laughed. She raised her head decisively and looked directly at the middle-aged uncle sitting above, "I don't know, why don't you give me some pointers, so that civilian girls can also reminisce, maybe these 13 years when I grew up, He really did something that is intolerable to God."

She dared to say this because her intuition told her that the county magistrate sitting above was not as fatuous as the outside world said. Don't ask her how she could tell, just look at the yamen servant in the hall.

The corner of Yu Kaiyuan's mouth twitched. Fortunately, his beard hid it so that no one could see it. However, the master beside him was so shrewd that he immediately sensed Shangguan's thoughts and interjected: "Are you only 13 years old? Is there anyone at home? Who else?"

Shen Qing explained his situation in detail, "My mother died just after the first lunar month, and my father also died. There was a fire at home, and my father was burned to death. Not even a whole body was found. I My sister and I depended on each other, and we also took my grandmother to live with us. Because my family was too poor to raise the pot, I could only show my face, make some pickles and bacon, sell them on the street, exchange some small money, and buy some rice and noodles to survive."

"Sir, although the fate of civilian girls is bumpy, they have never complained about the unfairness of the world. They only know how to rely on their own hands to make money, build houses and buy fields. Therefore, civilian girls really don't know why someone would take me." Let’s go to court and ask your Majesty to investigate and give the girl justice.”

Her words were sonorous and powerful, and they were true, but they sounded so pitiful to others.

Looking at Mrs. Song next to her, she is about the same age as her mother, but she is here to embarrass a child, a child without a father and a mother. She is really evil.

Yu Kaiyuan nodded, "You are still young, but you know how to earn your own living, and you are a good boy. However, if someone files a complaint against you, I will certainly hold a trial. Don't be afraid. If it is a false accusation, I will not be sure. forgive."

The master was also moved by Shen Qing's words. When he looked at Mrs. Song, there was a bit of disgust in his eyes, "Ms. Song, you heard me. If you want to withdraw the prosecution now, you can still be lenient, but if the trial goes to the end , If we can’t convict her, you will be punished too, do you understand?”

How could Madam Song not know this truth, but she had already sworn to send Shen Qing to the eighteenth level of hell, so no matter what the outcome of this situation, she was willing to bear it.

Having made up her mind, she kowtowed again.

"Sir, a common woman has a hard life. She lost her husband in her early years and her son in middle age. I hope you will have mercy on me. My son really deserves his death. If the murderer cannot be brought to justice, how can a common woman be worthy of his spirit in heaven? How can she be with Zheng Zheng? The ancestors of the family have confessed.”

Yu Kaiyuan had known that this would be the case, but he couldn't bear it. The plaintiff in this class was a woman, and the defendant was also a woman, and the life experiences they stated were more pitiful than the last.
