Several people trembled and did not dare to look at He Zhong.
"For...for truth!"
He Zhong turned his head and looked at Hong Gui, his eyes full of anger.
"Hong Gui, can you plead guilty to what they said?"
How smart Hong Gui is, he immediately knew what he was thinking when he saw He Zhong's slightly narrowed eyes.
"Master He, I'm just a serious businessman, and I don't dare to get involved in the gambling house business."
"Furthermore, all the servants in the house are scary, far less than the number of private soldiers expressly prohibited by the imperial court. Please be careful, sir!"
"What do you think about raping a common girl and committing the murder in daylight?"
A beggar glared angrily, pointed at the scar on his face, and glared at Hong Gui fiercely.
"Didn't you fall on your own?"
"What does it have to do with me!"
"If everyone gets hurt because of me, then wouldn't I be cut into pieces by a thousand cuts?"
Hong Gui is not stupid.
These are all things of the past.
As long as I deny it, they won't be able to change the world.
He Zhong heard this and nodded with satisfaction.
Then he realized that this was a courtroom and regained his dignity.
"Zhao Chunsheng, these old events cannot be used as evidence!"
"If someone falsely accuses Hong Gui or Zhongliang, wouldn't it be my loss to Jinchuan?!"
This is really a bit destructive.
Hong Gui's reputation has long been stinky in Jinchuan City.
He also framed Zhongliang. Thank God that he can be a human being.
But Zhao Chunsheng didn't panic.
Glancing at Hong Guizhi's self-satisfied villain, he turned and looked out the door.
"I have witnesses!"
"It can prove that Hong Gui violated the law by opening a gambling house privately."
"And he saw with his own eyes that Hong Gui set up a trap and forced the people to mortgage their wives and daughters, and even used force to commit murder in daylight."
He Zhong couldn't sit still after hearing this.
He glanced fiercely at Hong Gui who was kneeling below, showing deep fear in his eyes.
"impossible!"
"My subordinates are strict-mouthed. They are all our own people. How could I tell you..."
Halfway through, Hong Gui shut up immediately.
"What, did you spill the beans?"
Zhao Chunsheng pointed at Hong Gui, with a smile on his face.
"What did Mr. Zhao say that the person below clearly didn't say anything?"
Hong Gui got the hint from He Zhong's eyes and directly denied it.
Nothing was said just now.
Zhao Chunsheng heard wrongly.
Zhao Chun's face turned red with anger, and he turned to look at He Zhong: "Master He, just now..."
He Zhong interrupted directly.
"Just now you said there was a witness. Where is the witness?"
Seeing that He Zhong was preparing to muddle through, Zhao Chunsheng knew that this would definitely not defeat him, so he didn't worry about it.
"The witness, Afu!"
At the yamen gate, a young man walked in shivering.
The moment Hong Gui saw him, his eyes widened.
Then he pointed at Ah Fu and yelled.
"You're such a good Afu, I treat you well, why did you betray me!"
With that said, he was about to step forward and beat Ah Fu.
Zhao Chunsheng kicked him away, pointed at Hong Gui and scolded him harshly: "How can you be so presumptuous in the important place of the court?"
Then he handed over to He Zhong.
"Your Excellency, County Magistrate, this is Ah Fu, the young man from Honggui Gambling House."
"Three years ago I worked as a busboy in Hong Gui's gambling shop. Now I have repented and reported Hong Gui's evil deeds to rectify the law!"
He Zhong turned around and returned to the Grand Master's chair, and asked with a stern face: "Ah Fu, let me ask you."
"Where did Hong Gui open a gambling house, how did he distribute the dividends, who participated in the gambling fight, when did he commit the murder and robbed the women of the people, and where are they now?"
"If you recruit me honestly, I'll give you a gentle punishment. I'll spare you a hundred and twenty killing sticks."
"If you tell even half a lie, you will be executed in Ling Chi and your body will be hung at the east gate as a warning to others."
As soon as these words came out, Ah Fu knelt down on the spot.
"Master Magistrate, I was wrong!"
"I was wrong!"
"I won't report it!"
"Master Hong is innocent."
"Someone paid me to frame him!"
After saying that, Ah Fu knelt down and kowtowed.
Zhao Chunsheng's expression changed, and he immediately grabbed the other party's collar: "Ah Fu, before you came here, you clearly promised me that you would report Hong Gui's crimes on the spot. Why did you change your mind now?"
However, Hong Gui was smiling at this.
"Master Zhao!"
"Ah Fu is the orphan I raised since childhood."
"His sister has been in my Hong family since she was a child. She is a popular and popular drinker."
"If he hadn't died of a serious illness a few years ago, he would have been adopted as my main wife a long time ago. We are brothers. Wouldn't it be ridiculous for you to let him report me?"
"Afu, do you know the consequences of lying about the case?"
Although He Zhong's face was angry at the moment, he was already happy in his heart.
I didn't expect this Ah Fu to be so careless. He just said a few words casually and scared him into silence.
"The villain is guilty, please have mercy!"
Ah Fu said nothing and just lay on the ground begging for mercy.
Zhao Chunsheng had no choice but to use his trump card when looking at the indifferent He Zhong.
"Sir, I still have witnesses!"
"oh?"
"besides?"
When He Zhong heard this, his heart jumped again.
What happened to Zhao Chunsheng today.
Although he usually acts impartially, his level of handling cases is mediocre.
There are so many methods available today, as if everything is possible.
He lowered his eyes and glanced at Hong Gui.
I saw Hong Gui also looking confused.
He didn't even know what the clue was in Zhao Chunsheng's hands.
"Bring witnesses!"
Zhao Chunsheng didn't care what they thought, he shouted directly, and a beautiful woman came forward and bowed to He Zhong Yingying.
Hong Gui was startled when he saw this woman's appearance.
"Pan, it's you!"
When He Zhong saw Hong Gui's reaction, he quickly interrupted: "Who are you kneeling in this hall?"
The beautiful woman said: "Pan Jinlian, a civilian girl, is the wife of the Wuhan University in the east of the city!"
"Why are you here today?"
He Zhong continued to ask.
"Sue Hong Gui for opening a gambling house, committing crimes during the day, and raping me!"
"Wow!"
The whole hall was in an uproar.
"I just said that Wuhan University behaved strangely. I never thought it was this beast that caused it!"
"Jin Lian is also a poor person. He was saved by Wu Da, and his husband and wife love each other. I never thought that after disappearing all these years, I would be defiled by this beast!"
"It's strange to say that back then, wasn't it said that Jin Lian was secretly killed by Hong Gui?"
Listening to the people talking in front of the hall, veins popped up on He Zhong's forehead, and he almost slapped him to death.
"You're a bastard who fails to succeed but fails to succeed!"
Cursing secretly in his heart, He Zhongfa asked, "When did it happen? Is there any evidence?"
"Nine months ago!"
"I have a fetus in my belly, I can serve as a witness!"
As soon as these words came out, Hong Gui became excited on the spot.
"impossible!"
"Absolutely impossible."
"I slept with you right then, how could I possibly get pregnant on the spot!"
"Shut up!"
He Zhong went up and slapped Hong Gui directly, making him dizzy.
Zhao Chunsheng stepped forward.
"Master He, now that the evidence is conclusive, can Hong Gui be convicted?"
However, he ultimately underestimated He Zhong's shamelessness.
"conviction?"
"What a crime!"
"When will Hong Gui admit it?"
"Did you hear it wrong?!"
However, at this moment, the woman named Pan Jinlian screamed and fell to the ground.
"ah!"
"It hurts!"
"I feel like I'm about to give birth!"
