Chapter 88: The law of the land is forgiven
Xie Zhuoyan calmly took a few steps forward and said to Lord Bai: "What Lord Bai said is extremely true, although the murder of the inn was committed by the people's daughters, those people came to take my life. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½ā
Xie Zhuoyan then turned around again, as if to clarify the facts to everyone, and said: "The so-called disaster forgiveness, they first broke into the inn to take the lives of the people's daughters, and between life and death in the urgency, the people's daughters have no way out except to wash the inn in blood. This must be more clear to Lord Bai than the people's daughter. ā
Lord Bai nodded silently after hearing this, and he looked at the little girl in front of him, who did not look like a prisoner, with a look of admiration.
"But how can you prove that they were the ones who did the first thing to kill you and the others?" Lord Bai said.
The meaning of this sentence is naturally to acquiesce in what Xie Zhuoyan said about the forgiveness of the disaster, and according to Lord Bai's temperament, if it is really Xie Zhuoyan's helpless move to survive, Lord Bai will naturally seek justice for her.
As long as what Xie Zhuoyan said is true, even if Xie Zhuoyan ignores it, Lord Bai will do the right thing for heaven.
"This is easy," Xie Zhuoyan said with a smile, "The innkeeper and the guests can all prove it." ā
Lord Bai acquiesced, and said with a shocked face: "The owner of the inn, Yu Mou, is extremely helpful. ā
The two officials then left the yamen, and everyone had already made way for them.
Calm was restored in the county office, and the rows of fully dressed officials and the white adults sitting in the high hall made the entire silent county government look solemn and majestic.
The people at the gate of the county government just watched the excitement, and this dull and serious atmosphere did not affect their curious mood at all.
"What do you mean by that?" There was a person who didn't understand for a long time, and finally couldn't help but ask.
At this time, the bookish Confucian on the side shook his head and said.
"It is called forgiveness of calamities, and the so-called unjust infringement and hiding from the present danger can be described as misfortune, and those who have committed criminal crimes because of misfortune should also be pardoned."
The man blinked a few times, then opened his mouth and asked, "What does this mean?" ā
This scholar just doesn't like to talk to people.
Another person next to him listened to the irritated explanation: "It means that these dozens of people who died were going to kill this little girl first, and the little girl killed them in order to save her life, and the sins committed in this case can be forgiven." ā
"So there's still such a rule."
The man nodded with his mouth open in realization, and then looked at Xie Zhuoyan, who was standing in prison uniforms in the hall, and thought to himself, "This young man knows a lot.
However, after a long time, the two officials had already dragged Boss Yu and the other walked in with the young man.
Boss Yu and the young man were very frightened, and as soon as they came in, they plopped and kowtowed.
Lord Bai waved his hand, leaned forward and asked eagerly, "Do you know this girl next to you?" ā
Boss Yu and the young man looked back at Xie Zhuoyan, who was standing next to him and was looking at him condescendingly, and their faces changed.
This......
Boss Yu turned his head to look at Lord Bai, nodded curtly, and said in a low voice that was almost inaudible: "Recognize, recognize." ā
Seeing the boss's appearance, Lord Bai frowned slightly, and he sat up straight again, his voice low as if he was threatening.
"Why are you trembling, but what's the matter?"
Boss Yu's body trembled when he heard this, his hands and feet trembled even more, and he didn't know how to speak for a while.
The young man next to him lowered his head even more and didn't dare to say a word.
Seeing this, Lord Bai slapped violently, and Boss Yu and the young man were so frightened that they almost vomited their hearts.
"Say!" Lord Bai shouted.
Boss Yu and the young man kowtowed again and again when they heard it.
"It's the grass people, the grass people have seen this girl's murder skills," Boss Yu said aggrieved and frightened with a crying voice: "The grass people just have palpitations and are a little scared, so they can't help but tremble." ā
"Oh?" Lord Bai's eyes lit up: "So, you were there when this girl was fighting with a dozen or so people?" ā
Boss Yu nodded and said, "Not only are the grass people and the shopkeeper present, but even several guests in the inn are also there. ā
"Do you remember what happened at that time," Master Bai continued, "tell me everything you know. ā
After hearing this, Boss Yu recalled and said: "The grass people remember that I was standing in front of the counter at that time, and those people rushed in one after another without warning, all of them with big knives in their hands, which frightened me at that time. After they came in, without saying a word, they began to smash the tables and chairs in my inn, rummaging around, and then some people rushed upstairs. The guests who lived in the inn heard the movement and walked out, and then the girl and the group began to fight. ā
Speaking of this, Boss Yu suddenly became excited, and said while gesturing with his two hands.
"I was hiding under the counter to get caught in the danger, but the residents weren't so lucky. Those people are like a hungry wolf who catches whom, if it weren't for this girl's extraordinary hand to rescue them, I'm afraid ......" Boss Yu's voice gradually lowered again: "I'm afraid they would have died a long time ago." ā
Lord Bai nodded, then looked at the young man who was kneeling on the ground with his head bowed and asked, "What about you, what do you have to say?" ā
The young man's head was like a rattle, and his voice trembled and said: "It was indeed the boss who said this at that time, I, and I almost died at the hands of those people, and everyone present can testify." ā
Lord Bai bowed his head clearly, raised his hand and asked the boss and the little guy to take him down, and before the boss and the little guy could figure out the situation, they were dragged away from the county government again.
"So it seems that this official can convict you of being hunted down," Lord Bai said, "but the testimony of a few of them alone cannot fully prove it, since those people are here to take your life, then naturally they have their reasons, I don't know what this reason is?" ā
Xie Zhuoyan walked back to the center, facing Lord Bai, and said without humility: "The little girl can't say anything about this matter yet." ā
The crowd was in an uproar.
This little girl thought she was talking to someone, and she dared to be so awe-inspiring to Lord Bai.
Lord Bai is also a little unhappy, since she asked for a retrial, but now she doesn't cooperate with her to handle the case, isn't this a shame.
"But," just when everyone was puzzled, Xie Zhuoyan said again, "The little girl can first prove the identities of these dead to Lord Bai." ā
"What identity?" Lord Bai asked without the unhappiness in his heart.
"They are all officers and soldiers of Xiangyang Prefecture." Xie Zhuoyan blurted out without hesitation.
This time, not only the onlookers, but even Lord Bai was also surprised.
