Chapter 42: Fa-rectification on the spot!

Lu Shubai didn't know what the so-called evidence was. He only saw that after County Magistrate Xu read what was written on the paper, he insisted that he stole the money.

"How dare you! How dare you make excuses after you have stolen something!"

When Magistrate Xu said these words, Lu Shubai's face turned pale and weak.

He was sure that Qian Mingsheng had no evidence to prove that he had stolen. The only explanation was that the county magistrate took the initiative to side with Qian because of what was written on the piece of paper.

Lu Shubai still wanted to argue, but when he saw Magistrate Xu taking a picture of the shock, he immediately convicted him.

"According to the laws of the Daqing Kingdom, anyone who steals public or private property will be punished with different levels of cane punishment and fines according to the amount of money and silk stolen. The defendant who stole fifty taels of silver should be sentenced to ninety cane punishments and his reputation as a scholar will be removed. In addition, a fine multiple of the stolen money must be imposed."

After County Magistrate Xu finished speaking, the two government officials next to him walked out, each pressing down on Lu Shubai and preparing to torture him.

"No! Xiaosheng has never confessed! He has never stolen money from other members of the family. You are slandering!"

Lu Shubai was forced to lie down on the bench, raising his chin slightly: "I don't know what the evidence Qian Mingsheng presented is. Can Sir, please let Xiaosheng take a look?"

"This is the evidence of the litigant. How can it be freely shown to others? I have concluded that you are guilty, and you are guilty. Whether you admit it or not is not enough to change the verdict of this case."

Magistrate Xu pretended to be deaf and dumb, "Here comes someone!"

"Sir, do you want to surrender?" Lu Shubai looked at him in disbelief, and his hands and feet began to struggle.

"Wait! Don't hit!" Su Mu wanted to rush in, but was stopped by someone, so he could only shout hurriedly outside the lobby, "There is no evidence to prove that my uncle stole the money, why do you hit someone! Ninety sticks, Do you want to beat someone to death?! You guys are obviously just giving in to the trick!"

The two government officials did not move, waiting for the county magistrate's next order.

"Hmph! Please don't interfere with my decision to resolve the case. Your uncle was the one who took the stolen goods. I thought it was his first time to commit theft, so I didn't punish him severely. If you disturb the court again, be careful that I ask you for the crime as well."

Magistrate Xu snorted coldly and threw away his walking stick sign: "Execution!"

Mr. Qian turned his head away and couldn't bear to look any further.

The yamen servant raised his wooden stick high and was about to lower it when a burst of noise came from not far away.

Then, a group of guards with knives walked in from outside the lobby.

The two Yamen servants saw Lin County Cheng who was tied up with five flowers at a glance. They looked at each other and slowly put down their wooden sticks.

"Let's go!" Guard Lin pushed the county magistrate in: "Go faster!"

The Prime Minister of Lin County seemed to have found his backbone and shouted: "Sir, please save me!"

When County Magistrate Xu saw Lin County Cheng being treated like this, he was shocked and said, "Who do you dare to break into the court without permission? Did you know that the person you arrested is Lin County Cheng? Why don't you let him go quickly!"

The leader, Shen Yu, sneered: "He is the one I want to arrest! I want to sue his son for intoxicating civilian girls and arbitrarily robbing decent women. However, Lin County Prime Minister knew this but still wanted to cover up his son's crime! Oppressing the people." A woman who despised the law and protected her son should be punished for several crimes!"

Seeing her staring at him without hesitation, Magistrate Xu looked at her in surprise.

Lin County Cheng interrupted: "Sir, this is a false accusation! She led people into my house for no reason, and she...she even killed my son! I want to sue her! I want her to pay for my son's life!"

Shen Yuhan said with a cold face, "Your son died unjustly! He wanted to persecute her even though he was disabled. Such behavior is simply in vain!"

"Ahem, cough, cough." Magistrate Lin's eyes flashed. No one knew the virtues of the county magistrate's son better than him.

I thought this matter would be more troublesome, but I didn't expect that the other party would take the initiative to drop the topic.

He cleared his throat: "In other words, you admit that you killed Lin County Cheng's son?"

"What do you mean by that?" Shen Yu looked at him, his eyes suddenly darkened. Although the emperor committed the same crime as the common people, it is not an exaggeration to say that she did not kill the person. Even if she did kill him, it was the evil man Lin Yang who despised the imperial power first. It would not be an exaggeration for her to behead his entire family!

But judging from the tone of the county magistrate, it is obvious that he is the same as the county magistrate Lin.

I heard Lin Yang boasting that the county magistrate was one of his own, and now it seemed that those words were not entirely false.

"Those who commit murder beforehand will be sentenced to death by beheading, and those who commit murder temporarily will be sentenced to death by hanging. No matter what the circumstances, there will be no escape from death." Magistrate Xu glanced at her, shook his head and sighed, "Killing someone at a young age, how can you still do it? Using money to hire people to disturb the court is an additional crime. Come on! Kill her..."

"Wait a minute!" Shen Yu said in a bad tone: "When did I admit that I was the one who killed the person, just because I cursed him and deserved his death?"

Magistrate Xu patted the crowd and said: "You have clearly admitted it yourself, how could you go back on your word! Everyone present can testify!"

"Sir, this is inappropriate!" The county lieutenant on the side frowned and stood up to retort.

Magistrate Xu glanced at him and ignored him. With the agreement of the master, he immediately convicted Shen Yu again.

"You broke into someone else's private house indiscriminately and committed murder, and you admitted it in front of the officer. According to the law, you should be sentenced to death by beheading!"

"You are so presumptuous!" Shen Yu coldly squinted his eyes and shouted angrily, "Mommy!"

"Hey! The old slave is here!"

After digging for a long time, Nanny Lin finally took out the token given by the eldest princess under the nervous gaze of the county magistrate.

She raised the token high and said loudly: "Bold! Do you know who the person in front of you is!? My master is the princess of Zhaoping County. How can you, a small county magistrate, convict him at will?"

When the county magistrate saw this, he was so shocked that he almost fell off his chair.

He never expected that the woman in front of him was actually a relative of the emperor, Princess Zhaoping.

He crawled up and down the hall, knelt down and kowtowed, "I have met the princess. Your Highness, I am blind and do not recognize Mount Tai. Please forgive me!"

"Catch him." Shen Yu calmed down, waved his hand and ordered quietly.

Her eyes slipped from the county captain, and finally fell on the master, "There is also him, arrest him too."

The master's face changed drastically and he begged for mercy again and again.

The county magistrate also panicked and said, "Xiaguan trusted the county magistrate so much that he mistakenly trusted him. He also asked the princess to spare Xiaguan this time. Xianguan must be careful in his words and deeds in the future and never do it again!"

Shen Yu looked at the tied county magistrate coldly, with disdain in his heart, "Resolving the case is such a child's play. If the person standing here today was not the princess, I'm afraid you would still collude with the county magistrate and wrongly accuse a good person. You These words can deceive ignorant children, but they cannot deceive this princess!"

She turned her head and looked at the embarrassed county magistrate, "You don't have to be sad for your son. I will send you to see him right away."

Linxian Cheng sat paralyzed on the ground, it was over, it was really over this time!

She is actually the princess? Princess Pingzhao, who is most favored by the eldest princess and the emperor?

"Princess Princess, what should we do with them now?" Guard Lin asked softly.

Shen Yu didn't really want to tell her about being humiliated by Lin Yang. Although Lin Yang didn't do anything and would never really touch her, the whip wounds and knife wounds on her body were many and deep. It was really difficult for them to understand the hatred in her heart.

"Prince Lin County has no way to teach his children and helps the emperor to do evil. This princess is humiliated and must be executed on the spot! As for the other two..."

She hesitated and said: "Let's put him in prison first. When the day comes, he will be sent to the county magistrate. He will be judged according to law for the crime of defying the power of heaven, unjustly accusing and bullying the princess."
