Chapter 42: The Second Break

"I killed people." These five words lingered in the court for a long time. Xiao Yuan's mind was dizzy, and one hand was holding on to the ground so that he didn't fall.

"Xiao Gongzi, do you know what you're talking about?" An Ge narrowed his narrow Danfeng eyes, and the essence light in his eyes was like a flying blade, hiding a murderous intention.

"I killed people." Xiao Lei looked directly at the sharp edge of An Ge's eyes and raised his voice.

"Childe ......" Yun Bi looked up at Xiao Lei, her face full of disbelief and a hint of jealousy and heartache.

"Reverse ...... Unfilial son! Xiao Yuan supported his body to prevent himself from falling, covering his chest with one hand, and it was as if there was a stuffy mass in his chest, and he had difficulty breathing.

"Lord Zhixian, my son...... My son must have been deceived by that demon girl and spouted gossipes, don't take it seriously! Xiao Yuan hurriedly explained to the gloomy Zhixian.

"Xiao Lei disrupted the court and confused the facts of the case. According to the law, he shall be punished with twenty rods. An Ge looked at Xiao Lei expressionlessly, and read out the law coldly.

"Cane punishment!" The county is already unhappy, isn't it good to make a big thing small? A "clear" case is not complicated by Xiao Lei, and while he is annoyed, doesn't it imply that he is useless as a magistrate?

Zhixian stretched out his fat big hand and grabbed the arrow in the signing cylinder and threw it down the hall, and at the same time that the arrow landed, the official holding the water and fire stick stepped forward and forcibly pressed Xiao Lei to the ground.

Yun Bi watched the water and fire stick raised high about to fall on Xiao Lei's paper-thin body, the picture in front of her remained unchanged, and she seemed to have seen the skin and flesh behind the stick in her mind, and she felt that the whole court began to spin.

Xiao Yuan never thought that the decision he made would push Xiao Lei into the abyss, but he still had no remorse for framing Shi Manman. The only son actually gave up his life for a woman of unknown origin, and Xiao Yuan hated Shi Manman even more.

Xiao Lei tensed his body, and clearly heard the friction sound of the air cutting through the back of his head, and for a moment, he felt a heavy object pressing down between his hips. After the crisp touch between the flesh and the stick, there was the pain of thousands of blood vessels exploding with the flesh.

Xiao Lei bit his palm, he couldn't call out, he couldn't show weakness.

The blood was like a bewitching blooming peach blossom on Xiao Lei's crescent-white robe, and the hand he bit in his mouth almost bit through the flesh in a bite that was more patient than the other, and he could feel the teeth hitting the bones of his palm.

When the sixteenth blow of the stick was about to fall, Yun Bi couldn't hold on and fainted, and under Xiao Yuan's seemingly expressionless expression, the nails of his clenched fists had already pierced into his palms.

"Stop!" A cold female voice was followed by a crisp sound of wood cracking.

The people in the public hall still didn't see how Shi Manman appeared, and when there was an extra woman in the court, Shi Manman was still holding half of the black thick stick in one hand, and the other half was in the hands of the official who was unconscious for some reason.

"Take down this wicked girl immediately!" The magistrate was frightened by the sudden sound, and after discovering that the person who came was Shi Manman, how could the criminal who was sent to the door not be arrested. It's just that he took a closer look at the water and fire stick in Shi Manman's hand, and couldn't help but swallow. A woman who looks soft and weak has such a strong way.

After receiving the order, the officials immediately moved closer to Shi Manman, who was unmoved, and casually threw away half of the stick and scared away several officials. Ignoring anyone, she squatted down to check Xiao Lei's injuries.

Xiao was closest to them, and when he saw Shi Manman approaching Xiao Lei, he wanted to pounce on him and pull people. But together, his legs, which had been sore for a long time, could not support his movements, and he fell uncontrollably to the side like an old man who had had a stroke.

Shi Manman wanted to reach out and lift Xiao Lei's robe, but a pale hand held Shi Manman with his backhand. Shi Manman glared at Xiao Lei dissatisfied, although it seemed to outsiders that her face was still as cold as ice, but Xiao Lei knew that this little goblin was angry.

"It's so embarrassing for so many people." Xiao Lei tried hard to pull out an ugly and painful smile, as if even the muscles on his face would involve his back.

Shi Manman ignored it, took Xiao Lei and held her hand. His hands seemed to be checking Xiao Lei's injury, but in fact, Shi Manman secretly used the little spiritual power left to urge the healing of Xiao Lei's wound. But her spiritual power was limited, and she almost gritted her teeth and gave the last trace of spiritual power to Xiao Lei. Before the second dawn, she was no different from an ordinary person.

In the field, Brother An was the only one standing calmly in place, watching with interest everything Shi Manman had done since he appeared. But it wasn't until he saw the green jade fingers paused on Xiao Lei's back for a long time that that composure was replaced by excitement and fanaticism, and he involuntarily stepped forward a few steps.

When several officials saw Shi Manman appear like a ghost and broke the water and fire stick, they knew that it was not her opponent, but how could they not obey the county lord's orders. They looked around anxiously, and none of them dared to be the first bird.

And Brother An happened to take a few steps forward, and the officials thought that the head catcher was about to make a move, so they couldn't wait to get out of the way, for fear that they would be caught by the central government if they were slow for a second.

"Zheng Zhutou, hurry! Take down the enchantress! The magistrate pointed at Shi Manman angrily, no one has ever dared to be arrogant in the court, and more importantly, as soon as this woman appeared, she never looked at him as an official.

"Miss Shi, it's better not to resist. Being caught by a few men in front of so many people can ruin your life. After Brother An confirmed that Shi Manman was the person he was looking for, he turned out to be uncharacteristically persuasive.

After Xiao Lei's spiritual power crossed into his body, he couldn't bear the power of spiritual power and passed out. Shi Manman got up slowly, ignoring Brother An's words and asked, "Why did you torture him?" ”

"Miss Shi, I'll only remind you once." Brother An's gentle countenance disintegrated under the ignorance of the stone vines.

"Why?" Shi Manman repeated the change, but changed the object of the question.

The official who was questioned was guilty of a void in his heart, and for a moment he laughed at himself for being weak-hearted, Xiao Lei was punished by himself. He straightened his chest and said: "Xiao Gongzi disrupted the order of the court, claimed to be a murderer to bear the guilt for you, confused the facts of the case, and was punished with a rod according to the law." You...... So do you! After speaking, he secretly glanced at the face of the magistrate, and found that the other party showed his approval, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Xiao Lei is not a murderer, and neither am I." Shi Manman glanced at the few people who fell to the ground in confusion, and then looked at the magistrate above the public court. Why do they think they are murderers?

"Don't even think about quibbling, we already have your purpose and witnesses for killing!" The magistrate lost the interest in leaving, and just wanted to "bring the woman in front of him to justice" as soon as possible.

"I also have evidence that we are not." Shi Manman turned around and shouted at the onlookers: "Lu Guang! ”

Xiao Yuan almost sat on the ground like dead ashes, and was shocked to hear that Shi Manman actually had evidence to prove Xiao Lei's innocence. After raising hope, he felt remorse for what he had done, and what he regretted was not to slander Shi Man, but to regret that he had been threatened and disproportionate.
