Chapter 71: False Accusations
Murder for money, human trafficking?
When did they do it, and how did they not know about it? Ren Xin and Shi felt that something was wrong no matter how they thought, thinking of all the possibilities, they faintly had doubts in their hearts, but they were just doubts, and it was not until the county government that they confirmed this suspicion as a fact.
There are lanterns hanging at the door of the county office, and there are two officials guarding the door, who are yawning one after another, and seeing the two arresters, they brought the prisoners back so quickly and hurriedly greeted them, flattering the two seniors to handle the case quickly, and patting it down, coaxing the two who were not willing to do errands in the middle of the night, and the two sleepy officials were also sober.
The officials complimented the arrest quickly, and after the arrest was quick and pretended to point out the two officials, several people returned to their respective positions, guarding the door, and escorting the prisoners.
Ren Xin and the others quickly entered the lobby with the catch, only to see the officials standing on both sides of the office one by one listlessly drooping their heads, looking like they were about to fall asleep, but fortunately, they were holding the stick so that they would not fall to the ground. Come to think of it, these people were dragged out of their sleep overnight, and it seemed that they were so idle that they didn't look like they would be loyal to their duties when they arrived in the lobby. Look at the master again, holding a brush in his right hand and supporting his chin in his left hand, looking crumbling and sleepy. And above the lobby, the county magistrate who lived in the main position had already fallen asleep on the shore hall.
In the lobby, the lights are bright, and the four big characters of "Mirror Hanging" are hanging brightly in the sky behind the county magistrate, which is quite ironic......
Because of the murder for money, human trafficking is a serious crime, and being able to crack such a big case is a great achievement for the county order, and if this is reported, then it will be just around the corner to be promoted to an official and make a fortune in the future. So, when he heard that Zhan Qi had come to report the crime, the county magistrate, who was reluctant to leave the gentle township of his concubine, had a bright eye, grabbed a few clothes and ran out to ask Zhan Qi what had happened.
"My lord, the two suspects have been caught, and the abducted boy has also been successfully rescued, and it is now handed over to the adults for trial...... My lord...... My lord? "Catch Ren Xin and the others to hold down and kneel, and then salute to report to the county order, the county order is sleeping soundly, and I didn't hear what the two catchers said at all. Master, and those officials saw that the county order was the boss who slept to death, so they continued to maintain their original state, turning a blind eye to what was in front of them and turning a deaf ear.
What kind of clear case can such an official and such a county government judge come up with? Ren Xin secretly has a headache, these days these unpleasant things are always like this one after another, when is it a head?
Caught quickly coughed a few times, still did not attract anyone's attention, this time, these two catchers are not calm, originally, as long as they catch someone and make a business, this night will be nothing for them, you can go home and sleep with your wife and children. But if this case is not tried, no one will be able to leave, will it be possible for the two of them to stand in this county hall for one night?
The two of them quickly leaned together and muttered and discussed, and they didn't know what they discussed, but in short, what plan was set, I saw the two of them take a few steps forward, close to the county commander, standing on the left and right, hugging their fists together, and began to shout.
"Adult~" "Adult~" "Adult." "Your Excellency." "Your Excellency!" "Your Excellency!" ……
One is louder than the other, one is more magnificent than the other, and one is more ...... In short, it didn't take long for the officials in the entire hall and the master to be awakened by the two gods possessed by the catchers.
The hard work paid off, and finally, with a calm and powerful, confident and resonant sentence "Adult!" The ears of the county magistrate exploded, and the adult trembled, and with a whoosh, he moved off the chair and fell to the ground, even with the black gauze hat, he also moved his position, and found a safe corner on the ground and nested up.
Ren Xin couldn't help but laugh when he looked at the appearance of the county magistrate, how such a person became the county magistrate of one party is really intriguing.
The two catchers hurriedly stepped forward to help up the county order, pulled a chair for him to do well, took out the black gauze hat from the corner below the shore hall, patted the dust on it, and put it on the county order.
"Let the adults be frightened, it is the fault of the lower officials, the lower officials should not disturb the adults to take a nap, but thinking that the adults are worried about this case must be eager to solve the case, after the weight, I decided to wake up the adults boldly, and I hope that the adults will see the loyal part of the lower officials, and forgive the lower officials' mistakes......" The two caught quickly knelt on the ground, with a guilty face, and asked for the forgiveness of the county order in a low voice, the county order was not yet sober, and stared at a few people in the hall in a daze with their heads stunned for a long time, and listened to the two catch quickly finished speaking, I didn't want to think about what they said, so I waved my hand and let them go down.
The master is a sleek person, and when he saw that the county order was not very sober, he brought a cup of refreshing tea to the county order. After a long time, the county magistrate finally woke up, and suddenly above the silent lobby, he was shocked and frightened everyone. A servant who was standing by the door and had been groggy for a long time went to the Duke of Zhou, and sat directly on the ground in fright.
"Who is kneeling in the hall?" The prefectural order asked in a tone.
Ren Xin and Shishi, who were leaning on each other and were sleepy, were woken up by Jingtangmu, Ren Xin didn't have time to think about it, looked up and said: "Little girl Ren Xin, a native of Yicheng, has just finished the township exam from Qingcheng and is about to rush to the capital ......" The stone on the side was awakened by Jingtangmu, and he smelled Ren Xin's words, and suddenly sobered up and had a way to deal with it.
The county order from the moment Ren Xin raised his head, he couldn't listen to what Ren Xin said, his mind only stayed on Ren Xin's small face, Ren Xin is not stunning, but it is also a middle-class posture, especially the stubborn but gentle little appearance that people always can't help but want to look at it twice. What's more, in a small place like Weicheng, it is rare to see a woman with such a posture.
The stone slowly stood up from the ground, and by the way, he pulled up Zhanyue and Ren Xin, who was waiting for the county order to respond after speaking. Seeing that the stone stood up, the county commander scolded the stone for being bold, and dared to despise him as a county order, and the stone bowed lightly, explaining neither humbly nor arrogantly, "My lord, I don't want to despise the adult, it's just that Ren Xin and I are both meritorious and famous people, and according to the laws of the Yin country, we can not kneel." ”
Hearing this, the county magistrate looked at Ren Xin and the stone incredulously, he exchanged looks with the master, and asked, "What?" You have made a name for yourself. "Since they are lifting people, they are bound to step into the official career in the future, with such a bright future, how can these two people be stupid enough to do this business of murder and human trafficking?
Ren Xin's mind spun around quickly, digested the stone's words, and responded cooperatively, "Yes, this Mu Zihan and Brother Mu next to him are this Xie Yuan." The little girl is not talented, she failed to enter the top three, she is just a lifter. "This year's Xie Yuan can definitely get a ranking in the examination, and it is naturally impossible for such a person to do anything that is detrimental to his career.
The county order considered all kinds of possibilities, looked at Ren Xin's pleasing little face, and was unwilling, this midnight toss for a long time, and caught two people back, one of them is Xie Yuan, these two people will be human traffickers, this is spread out, who believes it?
Seeing that the county order's eyes kept rolling on Ren Xin's face, the master thought about the cause and effect of this matter, and stepped forward to muttered a few words in the county order's ear, and the county order was shocked, "Come on, take the plaintiff, and go to the court!" ”
Exhibition 7! Hearing this name, Ren Xin and Shi immediately understood what was going on in the middle of the night.
Zhan Qiyi stepped into the lobby, and saw Ren Xin grinning and smiling, the villain's triumphant appearance, as if he had already won, he stepped forward and knelt, and then kowtowed to the county order, and saw Ren Xin feel sick to his stomach, why don't you know kowtow in front of your grandmother's grave?
"Lord Qingtian, you have to be the master of the villain, the poor villain's grandmother who just died is just gone......" Zhan Qi came up with a burst of tears, with the face that had already been beaten and swollen, not only could not arouse a trace of pity from the audience, but made people disgusted.
The eyes of the county order swept over Ren Xin, the stone and Xiao Zhanyue's faces one by one, and the expressions of several people were collected in their eyes, and then looked at Zhan Qi, and almost knew in his heart, what kind of person is Zhan Qi, the county order has already heard of it, how credible can his words be? I didn't know what happened before, but the county order actually believed him so much, and hurriedly patted the arrest and went to get people. It's just that things have developed to this point, and he has to go down to trial after all.
"Zhan Qi, what wrongs do you have Although it is true, as long as it is found to be true, this official will naturally make decisions for you."
Hearing this, Zhan Qi thought that the county order was on his side, and he was proud in his heart, glanced at Ren Xin and a few people, pointed at them, and said bitterly, "My lord, the villain went home at night, and found that the grandmother who was alone at home somehow fell to the ground, and the house was in a mess, and this man and woman were entangled with my only brother, I saw that the situation was not good, and hurriedly went up to protect my brother, lest he be taken away by the gangsters, but I didn't want this woman to be very tough, and she beat the villain like this, and fell to the side of grandma, and the villain couldn't do anything, I had to watch my brother being taken away, and at this time, the villain pushed her grandmother, wanting to ask her what was going on, but she didn't think that her grandmother had lost her breath......"
"He is talking nonsense! Grandma was obviously killed by him, and he was the one who wanted to sell me to someone else! Zhan Qi made up the story smoothly, but ignored a key problem, that is, Zhan Yue was not on his side.
