clang!
The prison door was opened.
"Li Qian, the prefect is going to interrogate you today. Angels sent by the imperial court and a young man sent by the Duke's Palace will sit in the court. Are you ready?"
He Rong looked deeply at Li Qian and said.
Li Qian smiled and said, "Master He, are you ready?"
He Rong said nothing more, waved his hand and asked the jailer to put the shackles on Li Qian.
After all, Li Qian is a major suspect. In prison, he can turn a blind eye, but when he is out of prison, he has to wear it.
After a few guards expressed their offence, they carefully put the shackles on Li Qian.
Li Qian smiled and was extremely cooperative throughout the process.
After leaving the prison, he came outside.
Li Qian took a deep breath of fresh air.
“It’s been a long time since I’ve seen the sunshine outside, but it’s so comfortable outside!”
"Li Qian, let me reiterate once again, once you cannot prove your innocence, then today is likely to be the last day you see the sun." He Rongdao.
Li Qian smiled and said, "How can this be the last day I see such wonderful sunshine? I will see it every day except when the weather is not good for me!"
Above the court.
The person sitting to the left of Governor Fan was an angel sent by the imperial court, who turned out to be a very young official.
The person sitting on the other side was, of course, Gao Jun from the Duke's Mansion.
Li Qi'an hasn't been escorted yet.
Gao Jun said to Magistrate Fan, "Master Fan, this Li Qi'an dares to openly plot to murder our Gao family children, so no matter what, Li Qi'an must be handed over to our Gao family in the end!"
Magistrate Fan secretly frowned and said, "Mr. Gao, Li Qi'an has killed many imperial officials. His murder of a member of the Gao family is also an extra level of crime. According to the law, he must be executed!"
"But our Gao family has the right to know the truth about this matter, so even if Lord Fan wants to kill him, I have to take him back to the Gao family first and accept my grandfather's interrogation." Gao Jun just said.
Magistrate Fan frowned even deeper. Why did Gao Jun's performance exceed his expectations? Was he trying to protect Li Qi'an?
"Mr. Gao, now that Lord Chen is here, I think Lord Chen will make his own decision on how to sentence Li Qian!"
As Magistrate Fan spoke, he also bowed to the angel.
The young official seemed to have closed his eyes to rest his mind. Then he opened his eyes and said slowly, "The interrogation of the prisoners hasn't started yet, so what are you arguing about?"
Gao Jun didn't say anything else.
But he snorted secretly in his heart. Today he would take Li Qian away no matter what.
Of course he wanted to take Li Qi'an away not to protect Li Qi'an, but for the sake of the salt mine.
He got the news that Fan Tong had already sent troops to garrison in the Beiba Village area. He wanted to seize the salt mine as soon as Li Qian died. How could he let Fan Tong do so easily.
Magistrate Fan also snorted in his heart, what on earth is this Gao Jun planning? It seems that letting Zhao Xuemin take advantage of Gao Mansion was a bit of a miscalculation.
At this time, Li Qian was brought.
Magistrate Fan also immediately gave him a slap in the face, showing his majesty as the master of the house.
"You dare to offend Li Qi'an, and you still don't kneel down when you see me and Lord Angel!"
Li Qian stood there blankly.
He was really stunned because he didn't expect that the angel was someone he knew.
"Come here, torture me!"
Seeing that Li Qian seemed to be ignoring him, Magistrate Fan immediately shouted angrily.
"Slow down!" At this time, the angel stopped him.
Magistrate Fan was slightly startled and said, "Master Chen, such unscrupulous people dare not kneel in court. How can they establish their authority without punishment?"
Angel just looked at Li Qian, "Li Qian, no matter how much you feel grievances today, I will make the decision for you. Maybe you won't kneel down!"
As soon as these words came out, Fan Zhifu was frightened.
Even Gao Jun was shocked.
The other people in the hall looked at each other in confusion.
He Rong took a deep look at Li Qian. Does Lord Angel know Li Qian?
Li Qian immediately cupped his fists towards the angel and said, "Thank you, sir!"
"Master Chen, the crimes Li Qi'an committed were all extremely heinous, and the evidence is conclusive. Is there any grievance at all?" Magistrate Fan frowned and asked the angel.
"Master Fan, whether Li Qian has any grievances is not something you can decide with just one word. I am here under the decree of the imperial court to thoroughly investigate what happened in Shiliang City. Such a major case can even be said to be a shocking one. Can a villager do it?" Angel asked.
"But Mr. Chen, you don't know that this Li Qian is not an ordinary villager. He is a murderer and arsonist who is extremely vicious and capable of committing such a shocking crime!" said Magistrate Fan.
"Prefect Fan, as the head of a government, are you so hasty in finalizing the case? How many unjust and wrong cases will there be in Shiliang Mansion?" Angel said.
