"Sir, Wan Sheng actually believes that Zhang's case should be struck while the iron is hot and the case should be tried thoroughly."
"At this time, all the witnesses and material evidence are available, and the people are watching. Do you really want to retry the case another day?"
He Ping'an smiled half-heartedly and stared at Magistrate Shen. His seemingly calm words made him break into a cold sweat.
"Yes, we are still watching it with enthusiasm."
"Isn't this obvious?"
"Then Li Mazi took the money and falsely accused Zhang."
As soon as everyone in the hall saw someone taking the lead, they started talking among themselves.
When Magistrate Shen saw this, his heart tightened and he winked at the master next to him.
The master understood it and ran into the back hall again.
He Ping'an seemed not to notice Magistrate Shen's little move and allowed the master to leave.
County Magistrate Shen felt relieved when he saw Master leaving. He slapped the gavel in his hand and shouted: "You are so bold and cunning, you dare to falsely accuse others. Come on, drag me down and give you a heavy blow." He will be imprisoned for three months as a warning to others."
Before Li Hui could quibble, the government officials from the third class standing on both sides had already pounced on him like wolves and tigers, and pushed him to the ground.
"Bang bang bang..."
"Ah...Sir, please spare my life..."
Little did he know that Magistrate Shen was already murderous and wanted to kill him and silence him.
As the board fell faster and faster, Li Hui's screams became weaker and weaker, and soon disappeared.
He Ping'an stood aside and watched with cold eyes. This man brought it upon himself and it was not a pity to die.
Magistrate Shen, however, was like an ant on a hot pot, thinking to himself, these forty big boards have been finished, why hasn't the prince sent someone here yet.
Not only did the prince not come, but the master also left and never came back.
"Sir, this unruly man is dead."
The report from the government officials in the hall made Magistrate Shen regain his mind.
"Hmph, he deserves to die. Drag his body to a mass grave outside the city and let wild dogs dismember it."
Magistrate Shen snorted coldly, not caring about the life or death of such a person at all.
"Now that the matter has been clarified, it is completely a false accusation by Li Hui and has nothing to do with Zhang. Zhang will be released in court."
Magistrate Shen was in a state of confusion at this time. He just wanted to close the case as soon as possible and go to the back hall to find out.
Anyway, with a large group of subordinates watching, Zhang couldn't fly away.
"This Li Mazi usually bullies men and dominates women. I have long disliked him."
"Last time, I was defrauded of three pieces of silver. Even if I reported it to the official, it was useless..."
"Well fought, well killed..."
The people in the hall were talking a lot, and they all felt that Li Mazi deserved his death.
"Wait a minute, Mr. Shen, this matter has not been fully investigated yet."
He Ping'an didn't want to end the case so hastily.
"What else do you want?"
Magistrate Shen's face darkened, and he wanted to let He Ping'an stop as soon as he saw the situation, and said with a serious expression.
After all, he is Daxuan's imperial court official. Even a third-level expert has to think carefully if he wants to kill him.
If the Daxuan Dynasty found corrupt officials, it would be logical to use national laws to kill them. But if outsiders wanted to kill imperial officials, the Daxuan Dynasty would definitely not agree.
It's very similar to He Ping'an's previous life. It's okay for his own children to hit and scold him, but you can try to move others.
He Ping'an completely ignored Magistrate Shen's threat and said loudly: "The origin of Li Hui's silver is strange. Is it related to the Li family? Don't you want to find out?"
I can't let Luo Xiang's reputation be ruined. Now that I have taken on this case, I not only have to overturn the case, but I also have to bring my opponent into it.
Li Hui is the first, and there will be others later...
"this......"
"It's not too early today. It won't be too late to review this matter tomorrow."
Magistrate Shen resorted to dragging.
"Sir, the people are waiting to see the results."
He Ping'an's casual words made the people surrounding the county government scream and shout that they were not satisfied with the movie.
Seeing that He Ping'an was adding insult to injury, Magistrate Shen's heart sank. If Li Hui was okay, the Li family had many connections with him. Once he was caught and put on trial in front of everyone, he would not be able to escape the connection.
I'm afraid that the county magistrate of Qian County will no longer be able to hold his seat.
At this time, he already regretted cooperating with Wu Fan. How could a small county magistrate like himself be able to offend someone who could be the opponent of the Yongchun Marquis Mansion?
Wu Fan still hasn't appeared after such a long time. Magistrate Shen also tried to use his official seal to summon his superior, but he never got a response.
At this time, he already understood that the person in front of him was definitely a third-level expert, and he had sealed this place with great magic power.
Unable to ask for help, we can only save ourselves.
The official seal in his hand flashed with inspiration, and he used the official seal to send a message into He Ping'an's mind: "Senior Luo, I am ignorant and mistrustful of others. Please forgive me, senior."
"It doesn't matter, let's finish this case first."
He Ping'an's soft voice fell into Magistrate Shen's ears, but Magistrate Shen showed a wry smile. As he expected, this person's cultivation level was not low.
He suddenly fell into a dilemma.
If this trial continues, Prince Yongchun Hou will be severely offended.
But when he saw the cold light flashing in Luo Xiang's eyes, Magistrate Shen immediately understood that if the trial continues, there is still a chance of survival. If the trial is not carried out, I am afraid that his life will not be saved now...
If you offend the Crown Prince, then offend him. From the looks of it, I'm afraid the Crown Prince is also in bad shape.
Magistrate Shen was so blessed that he immediately cheered up, slapped the crowd angrily, and shouted loudly: "It is said that the whole Li family is here."
Not long after, the head of the Li family and others were brought to the stage.
The person in charge is a beautiful middle-aged woman in her forties who still retains her charm.
Behind the beautiful woman was an old man in his sixties with a calm expression. He was the old housekeeper of the Li family.
Behind the old man were three or four house stewards of the Li family, looking a little frightened.
On the way here, the people of the Li family had heard from the Yamen servants that Li Hui had been beaten to death in court, and they couldn't help but feel uneasy.
"Snapped!"
Magistrate Shen threw the alarm: "Who is under the stage?"
The middle-aged beautiful woman knelt on the ground and whispered softly: "Ms. Li, a civilian woman, is the wife of the late Li Sizheng."
Li Si was the member of the Communist Party of China who was stabbed to death by Zhang Sanyi.
The housekeepers of each house in the Li family introduced themselves one by one...
"The criminal Li Hui confessed before his death that he received two hundred taels of silver from you to falsely accuse Zhang, right?"
Magistrate Shen shouted.
"Why do you say this, sir? How can the words of a sinner be taken seriously?"
The beautiful middle-aged woman said in shock, her slender eyelashes trembling.
"How do you explain the two hundred taels of silver in front of you?"
"Who doesn't know that Li Hui lives in a poor household? Where did he get so much money?"
Magistrate Shen said solemnly.
"Sir, where did this money come from? How could a common woman know?"
"You can't slander a common woman just because he has two hundred taels of silver."
The middle-aged beautiful woman had a tight jaw. At this time, she didn't know why Magistrate Shen turned her back on the battlefield, but in order to survive, she naturally tried her best to refute.
Magistrate Shen turned his eyes and looked at the old housekeeper Li who was kneeling under the stage.
It was this person who traded with Li Hui that day.
Magistrate Shen, as an ally, naturally knew this matter clearly.
I am a dead Taoist but not a poor Taoist. I am sorry. Don’t blame me for being ruthless.
The two families are originally an alliance of interests, so there is no real feeling between them.
"Steward Li, where were you at night half a month ago?"
Magistrate Shen stared at Old Butler Li with burning eyes, waiting for his answer.
Old Butler Li replied in a hoarse voice: "I'm getting older now, so I can't remember what happened half a month ago."
"But I do remember that half a month ago, the guards of the Yongchun Marquis Mansion came to the Li family and had a pleasant conversation with the mistress."
Magistrate Shen shrank his eyes and brought up the Yongchun Marquis Mansion. Butler Li was a naked threat.
Unfortunately, Magistrate Shen had no way out at this time and smiled sadly: "Forgot?"
"Then I'll help you remember it!"
"Come here, put on the stick!"
"Shen Lu, if you really want to be tortured, Prince Yongchun will not spare you."
When Butler Li saw that he was going to torture him, he knew that the matter could not be rectified, so he threatened him.
The officials on both sides were frightened and did not dare to take action. They had also heard about the relationship between Wu Fan and the Li family.
Magistrate Shen's face was gloomy and unmoved, and he shouted: "You don't need to be punished?"
Seeing Magistrate Shen's anger, the third team of yamen servants got startled and pounced on him like wolves and tigers. They pushed Old Housekeeper Li to the ground, took off his shoes and socks, and put on the stick.
The so-called torture of ten fingers to the heart and a stick was so painful that it took only a cup of tea for Old Butler Li to endure the pain. He begged for mercy again and again and confessed all the things that the Li family had framed Aunt Zhang.
