Inside the county government office, the county magistrate looked unassuming but had a majestic look on his face.
Because in that inconspicuous corner, there was a priest from Dingyun Pavilion watching, so he didn't dare to neglect.
At the same time, the county magistrate was vaguely angry.
His anger was that even after wearing this official uniform for so long, he still had to act like a dog sometimes.
Yes, the county magistrate had a bright mirror in mind. Many times, he did so, but when he encountered a force like Dingyun Pavilion, he couldn't make the decision.
The six major forces, one religion, two pavilions and three aristocratic families, naturally did not dare to override the royal family, but after so many years of infiltration, they had considerable influence on the court.
That day in Wuyi Alley, all the people in Dingyun Pavilion were slaughtered, but there were a few witnesses on the outside who saw that the situation was over and fled.
Nine out of ten people at the station were dead, and the rest could only report to the police in panic, and the one who took over was Li Congfeng.
Li Gongfeng happened to be stationed in Huangxi City, not far from Bianzhou City.
When he got the news, his first reaction was shock.
This shock and astonishment was not only due to the fact that someone dared to kill Dingyun Pavilion, but also because a junior named Wang died inside.
This junior named Wang is the nephew of Elder Wang, a highly respected member of the court.
After all, he, a small priest, had to rely on Elder Wang a lot of the time, so he didn't dare to neglect, so he could only continue to spread the news, and the instructions he received asked him to deal with this matter first.
This instruction was not given by Elder Wang himself, but by Elder Wang's close aide Zhao Chong.
Elder Wang is not in the pavilion for the time being.
As Elder Wang's strong left arm, Zhao Zhong said that he would come as soon as possible, but he had to do this first.
Because if this matter is delayed for too long, some methods will not work.
This made Li Gongfeng feel a lot of pressure.
If this thing is done well, Elder Wang will not be in a good mood if his nephew dies, so naturally it will be difficult to get a reward.
But if this matter is not handled well, and Elder Wang is in a bad mood after the death of his nephew, he will be the one who suffers.
Based on Zhao Chong's suggestion, Li Gongfeng decided to get the murderer's death sentence confirmed first.
As expected, this young man named Jing is not an ordinary guy. He is very strict in his methods and is very strict in his actions.
So many people died that day in Wuyi Lane. When they rushed there, they didn't find any bodies, not even decent blood stains.
But Dingyunge never needs too much evidence if it wants to sentence someone to death, not to mention that this kid is the real murderer!
Facing the pressure from Elder Wang, Li Gongfeng quickly took action, and then sat here, waiting for Jing Yue to be convicted.
Yes, after much thought, he thought this method was the most suitable.
After all, the other party is a guy who can kill Li Laosi.
Li Laosi was not well-known in the pavilion, but Li Gongfeng knew that he was a real figure in the Four Realms.
It is naturally better to kill people with the help of the court than to risk it yourself, not to mention that he has already sent people to find out. This kid is a rare genius, but he really doesn't have much background.
Jing Yue came to the county government office. The county magistrate glanced at the worshiper of Dingyun Pavilion and felt annoyed. He couldn't help but give a fright and said angrily: "Bold Jing Yue, you killed many people in a row the night before yesterday. Do you think you are guilty?" "
Jing Yue responded calmly: "I don't know."
"Bold! You kill people but don't know the crime? By the way, why don't you kneel down when you see me?" the county magistrate asked.
Jing Yue replied: "I don't want to kneel."
Seeing Jing Yue's straightforward answer, the county magistrate was stunned for a moment, but thinking of Jing Yue's identity, he replied: "You don't have to kneel."
The court tried to restrain the monks in many ways, but monks have been highly respected since ancient times.
Monks of the second level and above may not kneel down when they see the county magistrate as a scholar. This is a rule passed down from ancient times.
The county magistrate estimated that Jing Yue would be very powerful if he could let the priest of Dingyun Pavilion take action in person, so he did not dwell on this, so he brought up the old matter again: "What about committing murder? Is it a crime?"
Jing Yue shook his head and replied, "I didn't kill him."
By this time, Li Chongfeng's face had become increasingly gloomy, as if it were covered with dark clouds.
"You didn't kill the person, who did?" the county magistrate said solemnly.
"Sir, some bandits kidnapped our third son, Shen Yun. I took the banknotes to exchange for someone else. Suddenly, a masked knight appeared on the way and rescued us. I have no idea what happened after we left. ." Jing Yue replied seriously.
"By the way, sir, I want to report the crime. Someone committed murder and kidnapped someone!"
he added.
Seeing that Li Gongfeng's face was getting worse and worse, the county magistrate could only say "justly": "You are outrageous! You are talking nonsense, but someone saw you committing the murder with your own eyes that day."
"Call the witness."
At this time, a middle-aged man in gray clothes was brought in.
"Tell me, what did you see that night?" The county magistrate looked at this man and said according to the script with a numb face.
The middle-aged man in gray clothes quickly said respectfully: "Sir, my name is Zhang Asi. His old house is in Wuyi Lane. I wanted to pick up something the night before yesterday, but the umbrella broke and I had to stay there." , then suddenly heard a commotion and saw..."
After that, he told how Jing Yue killed someone.
This man's speaking skills were obviously well-trained, and he used descriptions that were somewhat true and somewhat false to describe Jing Yue as a murderer who could not succeed in robbing things.
"You mean, Mr. Jing is the one responsible for the failure of his request?" the county magistrate asked.
"Yes." The man in gray replied.
At this time, the county magistrate looked at Jing Yue and said, "The witness is here, can you still quibble?"
Jing Yue shook his head and said, "This man farts."
At this time, Li Gongfeng picked up the tea cup and coughed.
The county magistrate felt helpless and could only become angry all of a sudden. He was stunned and said angrily: "You have witnesses here, and you still dare to quibble? Do you want to be punished?"
Jing Yue asked doubtfully: "Where is the evidence? This man can convict someone with just one mouth. Isn't this child's play in the lobby of the Yamen?"
In fact, Jing Yue still overestimated the rigor of judging cases in this ancient world. Too many cases were solved by beating, so it would be nice to have a personal witness.
The county magistrate scolded: "Are you questioning my judgement, or the iron law of the dynasty? There are adults from the Supervision Department here to supervise the case. Even if you have some skills, don't even think about making mistakes!"
The county magistrate looks majestic on the surface, but in fact he feels bitter in his heart.
This case is really not something he can think about, because not only Li Congfeng came this time, but also an official from the Supervision Department.
Dingyun Pavilion made such detailed preparations just to kill Jing Yue.
He also asked his boss before acting, but his boss said nothing and just asked him to close the case as soon as possible, which made his position clear.
It can be said that this yamen is opened by Dingyun Pavilion at this moment. He is just a tool, what can he do?
Now, in the courtyard behind him, there are more experts brought by the Supervision Department personally lurking. If Jing Yue really wants to resist, he will definitely die.
It can be said that if Jing Yue pleads guilty, he will die, but if he does not plead guilty, he will be beaten to death if he pleads guilty.
"I'll ask you again, do you admit guilt?" The county magistrate sighed secretly and could only act according to Dingyunge's wishes.
Jing Yue immediately fell silent.
The county magistrate glanced at the Supervision Department official, who nodded to him, so he could only say: "Come here, torture!"
As he spoke, he was already trembling, ready to hide at the Supervision Department at any time.
At this time, I saw several clerks from the Supervision Department coming out with various torture instruments in their hands, many of which were green-colored. At first glance, they were specifically targeted at monks.
Jing Yue stood there with a calm expression.
In fact, his heart was in turmoil.
Logically speaking, Gu Qingchi should be in trouble, but unfortunately nothing happened here.
Looking at the green poisonous torture instrument, the true energy in Jing Yue's body was already flowing.
Just when he was hesitating whether to resist, a burst of drumming suddenly sounded.
