After the eerie silence, Yu Zhixian's expression slowly turned cold.
"Who are you?"
"Big, big... people." The government servant next to Lu Anran wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and came out with his hands clasped in fists: "This woman said that she was recruited by the Lord to perform an autopsy on the strong man who died of serious injuries a few days ago. The result …”
The master glanced at Yu Zhixian and asked on his behalf: "What did she do?"
The yamen servant knew that he had done something wrong, and that he would die sooner or later. He was heartbroken and gritted his teeth and said in one breath: "She came out with a widow as a token. I thought it was an order from an adult, so he asked her to go to the autopsy room. "
After a few words, the whole process was finally explained clearly, but the more Yu Zhixian listened, his expression became darker and sparks appeared in his eyes.
The master frowned and said, "It is a crime for you to trespass in the important place of the government office, not to mention destroying someone's body privately, which is adding to the crime."
Yu Zhixian was impatient. He grabbed the token and threw it out, shouting: "Execution!"
As for the lawless woman, he would punish her later. No matter what her intentions were, he would always be able to ask her clearly after entering the yamen.
Lu Anran took advantage of the officer's inattention and rushed out, standing in front of the female prisoner. He looked up at the magistrate: "The magistrate hasn't answered my question yet."
"Nonsense! Drag this person down quickly!" the master scolded the yamen servant.
Lu Anran spoke quickly: "There is a bright mirror hanging high in the lobby of the county office, with a picture of the sun rising over the sea below. Your Excellency is well-studied in poetry and books, and you understand the profound meaning of it. But the little girl doesn't know whether you are loyal to the emperor and compassionate to the people, and you can't bear to worry about it." I can bear the words 'clear as sea water, bright as the sun and moon'!"
Yu Zhixian pursed the corners of his mouth so hard that his face trembled slightly, not because he was ashamed, but because he was angry.
He didn't know where a crazy woman came from, broke into the county government office secretly, and now made a scene in the execution ground. He hadn't punished her yet, but she gave him a lesson.
The people around looked left and right, blinking, wondering what the fuss was about, and whether the fire was still burning.
Lu Anran stood between heaven and earth, wearing plain white clothes covered in a red cloak. The strong wind blew up and scattered the cloak and hood, causing strong colors to fly out.
Even though the thin gauze filled the sky, she stood alone, as if she was clean and dustless.
The female prisoner had been hanging her head quietly from the beginning until now. Now she finally made some movements and raised her head with difficulty. Her distracted eyes slowly condensed into a slender but unyielding figure. She stood proudly in the world and would rather break than bend.
"In ancient times, there was a square mirror that was four feet wide and five feet nine inches high. There was light on the outside and inside. When people look straight at it, the shadows are seen backwards. When you touch your heart with your hands, you can see the five internal organs of the stomach and intestines. It has never been hindered." Lu Anran said, There was no shouting, the voice was clear enough for everyone to hear, "This is the origin of the mirror hanging high. It warns officials to enforce the law impartially and not to be selfish. If there is selfishness, there is a mirror to learn from it. It also warns the common people, There is a god on Sanchi's head. He can deceive people, but he cannot deceive gods."
She sneered coldly: "The county magistrate named Fang Jing, but it blinds his eyesight and does not distinguish between black and white. The mirror cannot reflect on itself. Why not change the name to Fang Wujing!"
"You...!" Yu Zhixian slammed the table angrily and pointed his finger at her: "How impudent! How can I, the official of the imperial court, allow you to utter obscene words and speak nonsense here?"
The master stepped forward and said, "Insulting a court official is punishable by thirty floggings and a double punishment."
Lu Anran's rebellious words made the officer turn pale with fright. He finally reacted and hurriedly ran over and grabbed Lu Anran's arm and twisted it back so that she could not escape again.
However, he may have used excessive force during the process, and one of the government officials raised his elbow, knocking over Lu Anran's curtain.
In an instant, Lu Anran's face was exposed to everyone's eyes, but everyone gasped again.
