Since the beginning of the records in Stone City, there has never been a record of forcible break-in. It's not that they don't dare, but that ordinary people simply can't afford to break the law. The onlookers were the first time in their lives that they saw a weak woman break into the court.

In the case that almost everyone has already decided that Xiao Lei is the murderer, things can still twist and turn all kinds of tricks, which is even more exciting than watching a big drama. Some people are afraid that their relatives and friends will miss the show, so they walk the streets to tell each other, and the streets and alleys around the county government are almost empty, because the surrounding people have gathered outside the gate of the county government, blocking the water from the door.

Lu Guang pressed the hat on his head, and his body swayed under the squeeze of the crowd. I don't know who in the crowd shouted: "It's noisy!" It's good that I don't watch the show seriously! The effect was quite obvious, but suddenly in the crowd there was a "Who stepped on me?!" Who pushed me?! The wails came and went, and the bustle and noise outside the yamen were comparable to the bustling city.

Lu Guang bowed his body and sharpened his head to drill in, knocked the waists of several people, stepped on the toes of several people, and finally got into front of the yamen in the sound of scolding.

Shi Manman's cry made Lu Guang hurriedly remove the last two people in front of him, but the figures of those two blocked most of Lu Guang's vision, and he didn't see the high threshold in front of the yamen until he was beaten to his feet.

No one in the hall expected that the witness would appear in such a ridiculous and comical way.

They watched Lu Guang choke two mouthfuls of ash, staggering up from the ground and stumbling towards them.

The ears under Lu Guang's hat were almost pressed against his brain, his skills were not deep enough, and he was worried that if he didn't pay attention, he would expose the identity of the demon among people.

He wandered and looked at a dozen pairs of eyes focused on him, and resisted the urge to turn around and flee and moved to Shi Manman's side.

"Is this a witness?" An Ge looked at Lu Guang who was hiding behind Shi Manman with a smile.

"This man is dangerous." This was Lu Guang's first thought when he saw An Ge, and he could almost smell that the aura emanating from An Ge's body was as rich as liquid.

"Yes." Shi Manman stepped sideways slightly, blocking Lu Guang.

"In that case, Lord Trouble will be promoted again." An Ge seemed to forget that he was just a head catcher, and pointed fingers at the magistrate.

Zhixian deeply experienced the feeling of "leading the nose" today, and wanted to reprimand An Ge openly, but the master noticed that Zhixian had suppressed his emotions for a long time, and secretly pulled the corner of Zhixian's clothes and gave him a disapproving look.

"Ascension!" The magistrate had no choice but to sprinkle all his anger on the shocking wood, and almost threw the shocking wood away.

"This official asks you, the master of the Xiao family testified that you are a murderer, because you deliberately indulged the snake you raised to poison the daughter of the Xiao family. was later discovered by the doctor of Baiyi Pharmacy, and he had the purpose of killing people and killing people, yes or no? The magistrate decided to take the initiative back into his hands, and without waiting for An Ge to ask, he yelled at Shi Manman.

In a short two or three sentences, Shi Manman understood the reason why she was considered the murderer, she took a deep look at Xiao Yuan who was kneeling on the ground, and her eyes slid to the unconscious Xiao Lei. There was no disgust in my heart because of Xiao Yuan's slander, only helplessness that I didn't understand.

"I didn't kill the man, it's just his conjecture." Shi Manman did not expose the truth that the entire Xiao Mansion knew, and only covered up Xiao Yuan's slander with the word "conjecture".

"Then why did you sneak into Baiyi Pharmacy late at night and try to destroy the evidence?" The magistrate continued to ask.

Without waiting for Shi Manman to agree, the magistrate continued.

"And regardless of whether you find evidence or not, it is a crime to break into the scene of the yamen blockade, it is another crime to openly rush into the court to obstruct the punishment, and it is also a crime to not kneel when you see the official above the court, don't say that you have not killed anyone, you will be punished with a rod just because you are lawless!" After the magistrate said these words, he only felt that he was majestic and smooth, and he seemed to have lost three taels of flesh.

Everyone thought about Shi Manman's rebellious and uninhibited attitude in the past, and they would definitely refute one or two. Unexpectedly, Shi Manman agreed without hesitation: "I am willing to be tortured." But let the witnesses I find tell me the truth. ”

Xiao Yuan stared at Shi Manman in surprise, still wondering if her answer was simply purposeful.

The magistrate wanted to open his mouth to refuse, but An Ge said quickly: "Lord Zhixian will not wronged a good person, but he will never let go of a bad person." Since Miss Shi has witnesses, the county magistrate will not refuse. Right, sir? ”

Shi Manman didn't know why An Ge's attitude changed so quickly, and his gesture of favor Shi Manman was still wary.

The magistrate was also full of prestige, and heard the unquestionable attitude in Brother An's words. waved his hand to push the boat down the river, and it seemed that he was "generous" and didn't care about An Ge interjecting.

Lu Guang shrank his head, just for a moment, he seemed to be able to see the silent flying blades in the public hall, as long as a word was wrong, the flying blade could take away his life and freedom.

He carefully recalled the words he had thought of on the way, and repeated what he had told Shi Manman in the court. just concealed the fact that he was a demon and portrayed himself as a thief who lacked money.

The magistrate stared at the jade pendant and musk that came forward, wanting to find some clues from them. As soon as the magistrate approached the musk, he immediately sneezed a few times because of the pungent smell, and after throwing the musk aside, he looked at the jade pendant. But the jade pendant of this quality and shape, there are not eight hundred but one thousand in the entire stone city, and the value of this piece of evidence is equivalent to nothing.

After listening to Lu Guang's words, they summoned the medicine boy, who knew that the old doctor was in the habit of putting some slightly valuable medicinal herbs into the inner room during his lifetime.

The servant and the medicine boy went to the pharmacy again, and sure enough, the brocade box where the musk was stored was empty. The medicine boy counted the herbs in the inner room once a day, and he remembered that he had checked the musk on the day of the doctor's accident.

After this verification, whether it was the people who were watching or the officials in the hall, most of them believed Lu Guang's words.

The unconscious Xiao Lei and Yun Bi had already been carried down, but there were still mottled blood stains in Xiao Lei's place, and the blood stains were all flowing out after Xiao Lei bit his hand.

"Xiao Xiucai's evidence of homicide is insufficient, but he has been punished for disturbing the public court, and he is specially allowed to return home to recuperate. Lu Guang was sentenced to three months in prison for theft. Shi Manman trespassed into the court and obstructed official business, and was punished for both crimes. He was sentenced to ten strokes with the rod and imprisoned for three months. The magistrate wanted to give Shi Manman a heavy sentence, but at some point, he found that there was already a sea of people outside the county office. With so many people present, if the handling is too biased. It is easy to make remarks unfavorable to him, and once the remarks are dispersed, his official career is in jeopardy.

But even so, the "fair" verdict of the magistrate still attracted the dissatisfaction of the onlookers, and some people shouted in the crowd: "You wronged the girl, and you still want to torture the girl, it's so unreasonable!" ”

"That thief should be sentenced to a heavy sentence, but he didn't save him when he died!" Another man shouted.

Lu Guang heard that someone was accusing him, and even buried himself behind Shi Manman, not even daring to poke his head.

"The official's decision is in accordance with the law, if you feel wronged, confront the official!" The arrogant chin of the magistrate looked at the people who were shouting. He pronounced his judgment according to the law, and he was not afraid of being investigated even if "people's words were terrible".

People are sometimes like that, they can hide in the crowd and oppose criticism because no one knows who they are. Once they had to confront the gentry alone, they didn't even dare to make a sound.
