Chapter XIII: Judgment

"Bah! bold criminal, who made you in a daze, hurry up and draw a charge!" the master scolded, he thought that the murderer kneeling in the audience was a white ding, so he simply let him draw a charge.

Ling Yun came back to his senses and was sitting under the lobby, with fierce officials on both sides, and on the stage was the county official who sat under the four-character plaque of "Mirror Hanging".

"Draw quickly! Master Ben has a lot to do, don't delay things. "The county official has already made an appointment with the top Xiao Dan of the theater to go to the dinner, and then go to Wushan together, turn the phoenix upside down, celebrate the cracking of the major murder case and the arrest of the murderer, and the future promotion to the third level can be expected, and I can't help but be complacent.

"County magistrate, are you the legendary blue sky three feet high?" Ling Yun said sarcastically.

The county official was stunned for a moment, and then he was furious, almost put up the official hat, and said angrily: "Bold, you know how to fart, you dare to ridicule this master, come and beat me to death!"

Originally, the county official heard that he was praised by the people as three feet high in the blue sky, and he was proud in his heart, thinking that I was greedy or greedy, and my political performance was still good, so the people would support me so much. None of the people around him dared to tell him the true meaning of this title, and he almost ordered someone to hang a plaque with "three feet high in the blue sky".

It wasn't until he was slightly convinced that the old man in Qinglou was good, and the old man in bed endured the pain in his stomach and told him the truth of the matter, and he never dared to mention this word again.

So much so that later he was quite taboo about the word "Qingtian", as long as others said these two words in front of him, they all felt that it was sarcasm, not to mention that Ling Yun directly exposed his scars.

When the officials on both sides saw the master's order, they held up the board with a smile.

A servant said in a low voice: "Little brother, you are looking for hardship, I will fight lightly, you will be miserable, and give the master face." ”

Ling Yun said loudly: "Beat hard, don't have pity!"

The official was anxious: "This person is really ignorant at all!"

The two officials watched the old man staring at it, not daring to slack off, the board was raised high and fell fiercely.

"Oops!" cried out one of the people in the hall.

Everyone's eyes widened in surprise, because it was not Ling Yun who screamed in pain, but the county magistrate.

The board of the official did not dare to fight again.

The county magistrate felt strange, rubbed his buttocks and said angrily: "This evil criminal has his hands and feet, hurry up and hold him down firmly and beat him to death!"

Two officials pounced on Ling Yun and firmly held Ling Yun's hands, and two more held down his feet.

The officer lifted the board again and fell down hard, more than ten times heavier than the last time.

"Oops, it hurts me to death!" The county magistrate couldn't sit still at all, the skin of the two buttocks was open, and it was beaten into two balls of meat paste, and the official uniform was broken with two holes.

The master hurriedly came up to support the master and asked, "Master, what's wrong with you?"

The official asked, "Master, are you still fighting?"

The county magistrate almost fainted in pain, where could he care about playing the board, and was helped to go backstage, and he screamed in pain.

The official felt strange, and the head of the squad rushed over and grabbed Ling Yun's head, and asked angrily, "What trick did you use to this evil criminal?"

Unexpectedly, the slap finally fell heavily on the team leader's own face, red handprints, and the slap was unusually loud, echoing in the empty county hall.

A servant next to him couldn't help but laugh.

The head of the squad was furious and slapped it over, but unexpectedly this palm fell on the pillar of the county office, and there was a wedge bulge on the wooden pillar, which pierced the palm of the hand and flowed blood.

The leader of the squad turned from anger to horror, and shouted, "You know magic, you know magic?"

The other officials had already hid far away, not daring to touch Ling Yun.

Ling Yun swaggered to his feet, and with a shake, the heavy shackles fell to the ground with a clatter.

The officials retreated a few meters away, and Ling Yun sat down on the Taishi chair in the lobby, picked up the shocking wood, and shouted: "Bring the corrupt official Wang Sancheng up!"

The officials didn't dare to move, Wang Sancheng was their county master, who would dare to take him?

Unexpectedly, Wang Sancheng was kneeling under the stage in an instant, wearing the shackles that Ling Yun was wearing, and the serious injury on his buttocks had not yet been medicated, which made him scream in pain, and at this moment he found that he was wearing a prison uniform and kneeling under the stage, and he was even more panicked.

Ling Yun had already put on the official uniform of the county magistrate, sat majestically on the stage, and said angrily: "Wang Sancheng, are you guilty?"

Wang Sancheng didn't dare to defend, endured the severe pain, and said resignedly: "Immortal, I am a petty official, I don't know that you are an immortal, I am offended, please be magnanimous, regardless of the villain." ”

Ling Yun said angrily: "If you are a mediocre official, it would be fine, but you are greedy, bad and incompetent, and if you catch me today, you will put all the big crimes in the county on my head, and you want to make a big contribution, how hateful!"

Wang Sancheng didn't dare to contradict it, and said, "Yes, yes, it's the villain's fault." ”

Ling Yun held up a dark blue pamphlet and said with a smile, "Do you recognize this book?"

Wang Sancheng's face was like ashes, and he knelt on the ground and kowtowed like pounding garlic.

Ling Yun continued: "This booklet records all the deeds of accepting bribes, violating laws and disciplines, catching stolen goods, framing criminals, and indulging criminals since you came to this county, I just spent a day and a half reading it, do you want to summarize it for you?"

Wang Sancheng was silent and fell to the ground.

"The corrupt official Wang Sancheng, the first crime, accepted bribes, totaling 1.76 million taels of silver, and should be beheaded according to the law;

The second crime is that he coveted Qin's wife, falsely accused him of his crimes, and harmed people's lives, and his wife was loyal to the martyrs, hanged herself, and should be beheaded according to the law;

The third crime is that he is lustful like life, robbing people's wives and daughters, the people's resentment is boiling, killing the woman's three lives, burying the bones in the backyard, and beheading according to the law;

Fourth, because of accepting money from people, causing countless unjust cases, according to the law!

Come on, drag it out and cut it off!"

Seeing the record of the unjust case, Ling Yun was even more angry, every case in it was reversed black and white, and there was no distinction between right and wrong, which was enough to indignate everyone and heaven, Wang Sancheng knew that the real murderer was the real murderer, but he wanted to send innocent people to the guillotine for a lot of money, and the same crimes were innumerable.

Where did the official dare to drag the county official out and behead him?

Ling Yun said angrily: "Dog officer, you are still unworthy, and you still have the face to sit under the plaque hanging high in this mirror?"

Dressed in a wide official uniform, he jumped off the stage, picked up the machete on the weapon rack, raised the knife in his hand, and swung it at the fat back of Wang Sancheng's neck.

"Wait!" A sturdy middle-aged man in a wide robe and long sleeves walked into the county government hall, and the officials on both sides were at a loss, and when they saw the comer, they all stepped forward to say hello.

"Hu Yuanwai, you just came!"

"Hu Yuanwai, it's just the right time!"

One of them cried the most hoarsely, and it was Wang Sancheng who knelt on the ground: "Lao Hu, you are here, I will die if I am one step late!"

The person who came was Hu Kui's father, Hu Yinshan, a pair of tiger eyes deep and abnormal, different from ordinary small landlords, the resolute stripes on his face left traces of years of wind and frost, his face was bruised, his temples were bulging, and he didn't look like a pampered landlord, but a practicing family.

"Xiaochun, I'll make it clear when I come to the government, the murderer is not you, don't make trouble, go back with me. Hu Yinshan said with a steady breath, and the sound was like a bell, penetrating the entire lobby.

"What's the hurry, I'll get rid of the harm for the people today!" Ling Yun said loudly.

"There are not 10,000 county officials in the world, but there are 5,000, and there are many people who are worse than Lord Wang, can you get rid of them all? Today you killed a well-fed Wang county official, and tomorrow it will be a hungry Zhang county official who has just taken office, and he wants to embezzle a million taels of silver, how many people's lives will be put in it, do you know?" Hu Yinshan said angrily.

Ling Yun snorted and said, "Then kill one after another, until you come out of Bao Qingtian! Do you think you have a point? It's just a raccoon dog, and you don't kill the people lightly, how many girls have been forced to become prostitutes by a Wanxian Tower?"

Hu Yinshan was furious, his palms were raised, the strange wind sounded, and he said angrily: "I pity you as a talent, since you are not interesting, I will get rid of you today!"

Ling Yun laughed and said, "It's in vain for you to come to ten!"
