Chapter 357

Fang Lin nodded, then turned to Chen Kangping who was sitting at the head, and said, "Master Taishou, I think there should be a booklet recorded in the county government when the property was seized at that time. I wonder if it can be used as evidence in court?"

Naturally, this set of rhetoric was prepared by the two of them in advance, Chen Kang said with no expression on his face, "Of course it is possible." Then he ordered the master and Shi Lei to fetch the list of property that was searched at that time.

After listening to the two singing together, Zhu Jishi broke out in a cold sweat. He has been the county magistrate for nearly three years. Although he has not checked the files in the yamen one by one, there are some things in his heart. Well, those belongings of the Duan family are not in the treasury at all, and the list they are looking for may have been destroyed long ago, but anyone with a brain would not keep such obvious evidence .

When Magistrate Zhu thought about it, he gradually let go of the stone in his heart. Anyway, there was no evidence, so he wanted to see what the prefect and Fang Lin, a naughty woman, were going to do?
Sure enough, as Zhu Jishi expected, the county government official and Shi Lei searched for an hour in and out of the place where the files were kept in the government office, but they couldn't find this key evidence.

Fang Li, who had been standing outside the lobby, was suddenly discouraged, "Do you think my sister is stupid, she didn't prepare anything, and she rushed to sue the officials rashly like this, I should stop her, and I can't say anything I was too stupid to ask her to come, I was moved by her in a few words, and I didn't even think about it, these officials are more cunning than the other, how can ordinary people like us fight against each other!"

Zhao Dawu didn't think like her. From his point of view, Fang Li was completely concerned and confused. He didn't see that Fang Lin heard that she didn't find the list, and her expression didn't even change. It must be because of her. As expected, he smiled and held his wife's hand, "Don't worry, eldest sister is not such a reckless person, let's wait and see, maybe things will turn around."

Zhu Jishi was afraid that Fang Lin's rhetoric would confuse everyone's attention, so this time he preemptively said: "Since there is no list, it cannot prove what you said, and it is also possible that the Qingyang county magistrate who was in office at the time might have done this. The person in this case did not search the house at all, of course, this is just my guess, maybe before I took office, these confiscated items have been turned over to the state treasury, so they are not in the county government treasury."

Compared with his previous statement, the reason for turning over to the national treasury is obviously more convincing. Some of the spectators outside the lobby have already left, but there are still many people who are concerned about the progress of this case. They heard that Seeing Magistrate Zhu's explanation, they discussed in a low voice which possibility it would be.

At this moment, an old voice suddenly came from outside the lobby, "These confiscated items have not been handed over to the national treasury. Except for paying taxes and food to the imperial court every three years, Qingyang County has never handed over anything to the national treasury for 30 years. .”

As everyone moved out of the way, the owner of the voice slowly walked into the lobby. He still looked like he was in his seventies. He was leaning on a crutch, and he was panting after walking a few steps, but he still walked firmly. Slowly walked to Fang Lin's side.

"Old man, who are you? Are you sure that what you say is true?" Seeing that he was getting old, Chen Kangping avoided his kneeling ceremony and allowed him to stand up to answer.
