The drumming sound was very obvious and attracted everyone's attention.
At this time, the Supervision Department official who had behaved very low-key and Li Gongfeng looked at each other, waved his hands, jumped over the county magistrate, and ordered: "Continue the torture."
When Dingyun Pavilion surrounded the yamen, someone could jump over the obstacles and beat drums to complain, as if someone wanted to save Jing Yue.
"Wait a minute."
Seeing that Jing Yue was about to be tortured, a person suddenly appeared at the door of the court.
This person is also wearing the gold-threaded black robe of the Supervision Department. Judging from the three gold threads on the cuffs, he is no lower in rank than the Supervision Department official inside.
I saw him walking straight in and asked: "Sir, there are people playing drums outside, but you only focus on torture. Are you in a hurry to beat me?"
The county magistrate was very surprised. He did not expect that someone from the Supervision Department would step in for Jing Yue.
He was already dissatisfied with the actions of Dingyun Pavilion, and for a moment he felt that he could pull some strings, so he mustered up the courage to say, "Who beats the drum and disturbs the order of the court?"
In the courtroom, the two officials from the Supervision Department quickly exchanged heated glances.
The Supervision Department official who came with Li Gongfeng said with a gloomy face: "Sun Li, what are you doing here?"
The Supervision Department official named "Sun Li" raised his eyebrows and said, "Tian Xing, what are you doing here?"
"I was passing by here and I am an old acquaintance with the county magistrate, so I came over to have a look." Tian Xing replied.
Sun Li said in surprise: "You also know the county magistrate? So do I."
The Supervision Department has seven major divisions, Tian Xing is from one division, and Sun Li is from three divisions. On the surface, the seven divisions are co-workers, but in fact they all have competition.
According to the laws of Qiguo, officials of the Supervision Department cannot appear in court at will and affect the yamen's judgment of cases, so both of them gave such a perfunctory reason.
"Old acquaintance" The county magistrate sat there wiping his sweat and said depressedly: "How can I recognize you two great gods?"
After Sun Li arrived, Tian Xing suddenly became cautious in his actions.
In order to avoid being caught by his colleagues in these three offices, he waved his hand and asked the men who were preparing to torture to retreat.
Sun Li pretended he didn't see it and simply bowed his hands to Magistrate Luo and said, "Brother Luo, you're busy. Let's get together when you're done."
Magistrate Luo cupped his hands and pretended to know him, which was considered a response.
After a while, a clerk ran in and said, "Sir, the drummer left a letter."
"Send it up."
Magistrate Luo spread out the petition and confirmed that it was handed over by the lawyer defending Jing Yue.
Letting a lawyer defend the family was really a method the Shen family could use, but it probably wouldn't have much effect. But until he saw the signature, the county magistrate's expression suddenly changed.
Immediately, he raised his head, slapped the alarm, and said: "This case is full of doubts. Let's take the prisoner into custody first and try again later."
After that, the Supervision Department official named "Sun Li" narrowed his eyes at Jing Yue, and Jing Yue followed the yamen officer happily.
The fight that was about to begin was interrupted, Jing Yue was put in a cell awaiting trial, and the atmosphere in the Yamen court also changed.
Yes, this yamen court, which was originally a family-run affair, suddenly became a little more fair.
Since there will be another trial tomorrow, the court will naturally withdraw. Li Gongfeng looked gloomy and asked: "It is obvious that the witnesses are here, why did you suddenly change your mind and not continue the trial?"
The pock-marked county magistrate raised his eyebrows and said, "There are indeed some doubts about this case. A lawyer will come to defend Jing Yue tomorrow, so you should be well prepared."
After saying that, he turned around and left without being humble or arrogant.
The county magistrate suddenly became fair, which made Li Gongfeng quite puzzled and annoyed.
Even if Sun Li from the Supervision Department comes, they don't have to go too far at most, and the case can still proceed as planned. After all, one witness is not enough, and they have two. If two are not enough, they still have physical evidence.
But what I never expected was that this little county magistrate dared to shelve the case like this.
Li Gongfeng felt a little uneasy for a while.
Yes, Sun Li from the Supervision Department is not enough to cause such a change. Are there other forces involved that dare to challenge their Dingyun Pavilion?
He didn't think the Shen family had such means, and the other party's ability to invite Sun Li was beyond his expectation.
Since the case has been shelved, we can only wait for tomorrow's situation.
Li Gongfeng looked at Sun Li with a gloomy face, wanting to see who was behind him, but he didn't get the answer for a while.
...
Jing Yue came to the cell in Bianzhou City.
I have to say that the cells in Bianzhou City are indeed much more "luxurious" than the small and broken cells in Huangliu City.
Under the dim light of the sky, the wooden pillars looked very strong. Each cell was not too small, and the walls were painted and in good condition.
He ended up in a six-person cell.
Because it had been raining for several days, the spring cold was quite severe, so the underground cell was even colder.
Jing Yue went on a killing spree the day before yesterday. Although he adjusted his breathing for two days, his recovery was still not good enough, so he couldn't help but cough.
So in the eyes of others, he was just a handsome young man who was frail and sick but didn't know what he had done.
The stabbing leader in the cell was obviously a thin man with a gloomy face. It could be seen from the fact that the other people were a little afraid of him.
After seeing Jing Yue approaching, the man couldn't help but whistled and ordered: "Hey, help me get that piss bucket, I need to pee."
Jing Yue sat there, glanced at him, coughed and said, "Are you sure?"
He looked harmless, and looked quite weak when he coughed. However, when he was asked this question, the man was inexplicably shocked.
This time, he did not follow the usual example of bullying the newcomers and confirming his status as the eldest brother in the cell. Instead, he kicked the bald man next to him angrily and asked the bald man to get the urine bucket.
The skinny man looked more and more wrong, and he just thought he had seen this coughing boy somewhere.
In a daze, he suddenly realized what he was doing. He was so frightened that he almost peed before the bucket came.
Could this person be the one named Jing who almost stabbed the boss to death that day?
The skinny man was a member of the Youqin Gang and had only met Jing Yue once, so he was not impressed by Jing Yue's appearance.
But he was quite impressed by this person, or in other words, the entire Youqiao Gang was extremely impressed by this person.
Because their boss was a cruel person, but that day, the other party was so cruel that they almost sent their boss away.
For such a person, everyone in the Youqiao Gang has a shadow in their hearts.
Wow...
The skinny man was guessing while putting water in the urine bucket. The next moment, a government servant came over and said to the young man: "Jing Yue, it's your thing."
Hearing this name, the man couldn't help but get excited and peed on his feet.
However, he was completely unaware of this. He only felt a chill on his back and secretly prayed: "Bodhisattva bless me, Bodhisattva bless me. Fortunately, I have softened up this time."
Yes, if he had just insisted on letting the other party take the urine bucket, or even used force to do so, I really don't know what terrible things would have happened.
Next to him, his little follower looked at his elder brother's wet shoes with a confused look on his face.
Jing Yue didn't pay attention to this because he was a little annoyed.
According to the time, he could have sex with the saint girl and the eldest lady, but he was in jail at this time.
This means that this time, he will pigeon the two girls.
