Liaozhai Great Sage

Chapter 58
A majestic county magistrate was beheaded in public in the courtroom.

When this scene fell in the eyes of others, they were immediately dumbfounded.

At this moment, Wu Fei didn't care what other people were thinking, and after killing County Magistrate Liu, he yelled, "Officer Dog is dead, we have taken the money and left here quickly."

"Yes, boss."

Everyone shouted, and then they carried the boxes and wanted to leave.

Wu Fei chuckled at this moment, grabbed a lot of gold, silver and jewels from a box and spilled them on the ground: "I've rewarded you with these money, let's collect the corpse of this dog official, lest people in the Tao say we are dishonest. "

"Brothers, let's go."

Immediately, this group of thieves swaggered away from the back hall quickly.

After these thieves left, those squires and clan elders just exclaimed.

"Look, the silver cup on the ground was lost by my family last month."

"The gold necklace is my wife's jewelry, and the silver bracelet I gave to my daughter, and it has her name on it."

"Damn it, it turned out that County Magistrate Liu took these things away. He deliberately framed the Li family and wanted to frame the Li family."

All of a sudden, the country gentry and clan elders who had been deceived by County Magistrate Liu were furious. They felt that not only did they lose face, but they also wrongly blamed a good person, mistaking the victim for a murderer who wanted to murder someone.

It turned out that it was not the Li family who really wanted money and murder, but the county magistrate Liu.

"It's not safe for the late festival, it's not guaranteed for the late festival."

An old squire, with a cane, hit the ground heavily, his face flushed with embarrassment.

"Damn dog official, deliberately framed the Li family, deceived us, and made us misunderstand the good people. After this, how can we have a foothold in Guobei County after this?" Some old people beat their feet and chests, feeling incomparably shocked shame.

"Bastard, bastard, how could there be such a bastard county magistrate in our Guobei County." There were also younger squires who cursed angrily.

These gentry elders are all respected in Guobei County, but they have to sit in the main seat for any major events such as festivals and sacrifices. Wherever there are conflicts or conflicts on weekdays, they are the ones to go Come forward to reconcile.

But now that such a incident happened, their prestige was instantly wiped out, and they were afraid that they would be scolded by others in the future.

Therefore, these squires and clan elders who reacted just now started yelling one by one.

Li Xiuyuan was very calm at this time, he never expected these squires and clan elders to be of any help, but when Magistrate Liu judged the case, it was clearly a frame-up, and no one believed his Li family.

It chilled him.

A Li family whose ancestors have taken root in Guobei County for generations is not as convincing as a county magistrate who has been away for a month.

Is it because of too much official authority, or the Li family has really made people jealous these years, and I wish the big tree of the Li family would fall down.

"Master, County Magistrate Liu is dead. I don't know how to judge this case?" Li Xiuyuan asked calmly at this time, looking at the remaining masters.

The master looked at Li Xiuyuan's calm gaze, and was startled immediately, his face turned pale: "Small, I don't know too well."

"Not sure? The Yamen wanted to deprive me of my fame and behead my father before, but now you are not sure about it." Li Xiuyuan said coldly.

A squire stood up at this time and said: "What kind of case is still being judged now? The dog official has made it clear that he is framing. The evidence is convincing now. The previous judgment is invalid at all. Please rest assured, Mr. Li. Although County Magistrate Liu is dead now, but We will never admit this case, even if the next county magistrate comes up."

"What is the trial of this case? The dog officer framed a good person and was killed by the robbers in Wangchuan Mountain. This is retribution. The file, where is the file, quickly fetch a fire and let the case of the Li family be closed. "

"That's right, the file was burned, and the next county magistrate of the province made a fuss about it. If the file is not burned today, the master must have a ghost in his heart. We will go to the magistrate to sue him."

These individuals were filled with righteous indignation and began to fight for the Li family.

"Okay, okay, okay, burn, burn the file."

The master saw that the public opinion was boiling, and he wanted to go to the magistrate to sue himself. He broke out in a cold sweat and didn't dare to delay any longer. He hurriedly took the file, and then set it on fire in front of everyone, closing the case.

The wall fell down and everyone pushed it down, County Magistrate Liu died, and the master knew that the situation was over, so how dare he continue to handle this case.

Besides, according to the case, it was not clean, it was framing the Li family.

"Rural elders, the young ones have something to say, and the young ones have something to say."

At this time, Wang Chuan, the yamen servant who made false testimony before, ran over again, knelt on the ground and kowtowed continuously: "The little one is guilty, the little one is guilty, the little one made false testimony before, and framed Mr. Li. She was not beaten to death, she died suddenly last night."

"What? You bastard, how dare you give false testimony." Someone said angrily.

Wang Chuan wanted to cry, but said without tears; "I don't want to, the little one was forced by the county magistrate Liu. If the young one doesn't testify falsely, the county magistrate Liu will kill the little one. The little one doesn't dare to disobey , That's why I gave false testimony, and I ask all the folks and elders to forgive me, little one."

After finishing speaking, he quickly kowtowed and begged for mercy.

"It's a grass on the wall, and the wind blows and falls on both sides." Li Xiuyuan said coldly when he saw this, but didn't say much.

Now that this person is voluntarily admitting that it was a frame-up, it is not easy for him to attack this yamen servant.

All the servants in the yamen are really good.

Ignoring these trivial matters, he glanced at the master, then waved his hand as a signal.

"Big, young master." The master was pale, and with fear, he bent over to meet him.

Li Xiuyuan patted him on the shoulder, and whispered in his ear: "Magistrate Liu is dead, you should know what to do next, master is a smart person, don't let my Li family down."

The master trembled all over, his hands and feet felt cold, and his hairs stood on end.

Fruit, sure enough.

The group of masked men before were not Wangchuanshan robbers at all, they were sent by the Li family.

The master smiled and cried, his face was as ugly as he wanted, he quickly bent over and nodded, and replied respectfully: "Understood, I understand, I understand everything, young master, please rest assured."

"Well done, you continue to be a master, if you can't do it, I will make you disappear in Guobei County." Li Xiuyuan gave him a cold look, then turned around and left without further words.

The master froze in place, staring blankly at Li Xiuyuan who was striding away, and felt that he and magistrate Liu had done a very, very stupid thing.

What cut the mess with a sharp knife, what ate the fat sheep of the Li family, and all the calculations were all stupid things.

From the beginning to the end, the life of the magistrate of Guobei County was in the hands of the Li family.

If you do well, the county magistrate can continue to be the magistrate.

If you can't do it well, or you have crossed the line, the headless magistrate Liu in front of you is proof.

The Li family, really dare to kill officials.

The master felt dizzy for a while, wondering if the Li family would settle accounts after the fall.

"Mr. Li, I'm really sorry. We were blinded by that dog official and wrongly blamed a good person. If I'm confused, please forgive me, Mr. Li."

"That's right, I'm so old and confused. I don't believe the Li family's behavior. I'm guilty. If rumors spread in the future, I won't be able to tell anyone with my face."

"I waited to help the evildoers, and almost helped County Magistrate Liu kill a good person by mistake. I don't know what to say about this matter. I will make amends to your Li family." An old man was so ashamed that he wanted to kneel down and apologize to Li Xiuyuan.

Li Xiuyuan hastily helped him up: "Fathers and folks also had good intentions, but they were deceived by this dog official. It has nothing to do with you.

After speaking, he looked at the other squires nearby.

As far as the eyes can see, many people have fear of him in their eyes.

No, it would be more appropriate to say a little fear.

These country gentry are not all foolish people, I am afraid that many people have already guessed in their hearts that the death of County Magistrate Liu is inseparable from the Li family.

But even if you know it, so what?
County magistrate Liu wanted to kill them all, and used all kinds of indecent tactics to frame him, and he didn't even abide by the court's laws. Could it be that Li Xiuyuan was just waiting to die, waiting for this dog official to copy his family and exterminate his family?

If this dog official is not beheaded today, the Li family will not be able to live in peace in the future.

And after today's incident, the county magistrate who takes office in the future will have to weigh his own weight if he wants to take action against the Li family.
