Guo's mother finally compromised and applied for a review, and the date of the review was scheduled three days later.

Qing'er was very happy to finally look forward to this result, and ran to Dr. Xiao's house to report the news that day, but Mrs. Xiao agreed very simply.

As for Ling'er, she also had remorse and was willing to go to court again to retract her confession. Gongsun felt that she was not old at all, and she was not sure. Again, I was afraid that she would not be frightened by her young age, so she retracted her confession in court for the second time, so she did not agree to go to court.

Qing'er has never been in a lawsuit, so she naturally obeys her grandson in everything and didn't go to her.

Speaking of which, the case is not complicated, and there is really nothing to prepare for anything else.

Gongsun repeatedly reiterated that he could not expect the case to be overturned during the retrial, so everyone had the intention of going through the motions, just trying to have a complete record in the file.

In this way, three days passed quickly, and the long-awaited review finally came.

Before dawn this day, Qing'er finished grooming and sat neatly and waited for dawn.

Gongsun sneered on the side after breakfast, Qing'er waited for him for a long time and didn't see any movement, and finally couldn't help but go to ask. Gongsun smiled unhurriedly:

"We can only watch the trial from the outside, it's useless to go so early."

Qing'er didn't care, and dragged Gongsun to the county government early.

The two of them waited outside for an unknown amount of time, and waited from the white belly of the fish to the scorching sun, only to see the servants appear one after another, Qing'er sat on the ground, and cursed in a whisper on the side.

Gongsun was very calm, squinting and not knowing what he was thinking.

After a while, with the sound of squeaking, the door finally opened from the inside out, and Qing'er involuntarily exhaled and clenched her fists.

She stood on the threshold and leaned in for a long time, only to find that the so-called Guanju couldn't even listen, let alone "Guan", and it was impossible to know what was going on in the hall!

The case was tried in a house, outside which was a yard the size of a basketball court, which was used for execution. And they're only allowed to stand outside this courtyard!

Qing'er glared at Gongsun fiercely, Gongsun winked at her innocently, and said in his heart: "I'm sorry, I really thought this was common sense." ”

Qing'er listened. With a full screen of triangular square forks in his head, this guy must have a heart!

After a while, the sound of chains was heard, and a messenger escorted a prisoner into the lobby.

Qing'er put her hand on the pergola and looked at it for a long time, trying to distinguish whether it was Guo's mother or Yun Niang. But I only saw a man, and I looked back at my grandson suspiciously, but I saw that this grandson was snickering.

Gongsun explained in a whisper under her hot eyes, it turned out that it was impossible to arrange only one case a day, which is also common sense, and everyone in the country knows it.

Qing'er snorted angrily and said: "I am a good citizen, I have never been a traitor, of course I don't have this common sense, unlike someone!" ”

Gongsun snorted disapprovingly: "Zhang Dajiao is obviously a pariah, when did he become a good citizen again?" ”

Qing'er gave him a blank look. Too lazy to pay attention to him, he sat on the ground like a deflated ball, waiting boredly, but suddenly heard a scream.

When she turned around, she saw four messengers carrying the prisoner to the empty place where the execution was carried to the place where he was executed, and he was beaten with iron chains.

Listening to their shouting and the heart-rending shouts of the prisoners, he swallowed a mouthful of spit, patted Gongsun on the shoulder, and asked with straight eyes:

"Do you want to fight for the review?"

Gongsun shook his head. Calmly said, "Generally, not." In the retrial, the verdict is rarely changed, and most of them just ask a few sentences according to the rules, go through the motions, and some do not even ask new witnesses. ”

Qing'er bit her lower lip. Nervously clenched his hands and asked, "Then is it necessary to punish Yue Ya for complaining?" ”

Childe said in a natural tone: "Of course it will, unless you admit guilt in a murder case, how can you not be punished?" What's more, it's a lawsuit against Yue Ya. Ah, you wouldn't be unaware, would you? Yue Ya's complaint is to sue the official with the people, and there is a great crime of disrespect first, and he must be beaten with 30 kills first. ”

Qing'er was shocked. Pushing him by the shoulder, he shouted, "That's not hitting me?" Which Lianguo mother and Yun Niang also want to fight? ”

"Thirty kills will only hit you."

Qing'er nodded seriously: "That's good, I'm sturdy and can bear it!" But those two, I'm really afraid that I'll die after the fight. ”

Gongsun squinted, looked Qing'er up and down a few times, and was about to speak, when he suddenly felt a thrill, covered Qing'er's eyes with his hand, and said, "Close your eyes!" ”

Qing'er was willing to listen, pushed his hand away a little hard, and looked into the courtyard, only to see two people almost dragging the prisoner to the back, pulling out a long blood channel......

She bumped her grandson on the side with her shoulder, and asked incomprehensibly, "Don't you have to go back to the court to record a confession or draw a picture after the execution?" Where is this pulling him to? ”

Gongsun was speechless, Qing'er looked at him for a long time, suddenly changed his face and stammered, "...... He's dead?! ”

Gongsun frowned and said calmly, "I'll go and inquire when it will be our turn." ”

Qing'er sat on the ground alone in a daze, her heart had fallen into the bottomless abyss, she was bent on appealing, but was she wrong! Could this be the dead end that sent Mother Guo and Yun Niang to the point of no return?

Qing'er gave herself a mouth and asked fiercely: "When will I be able to grow, if I don't ask clearly, I will mess around!" Review, review a fart! ”

She buried her face in the palm of her hand and cried silently, if Mother Guo and Yun Niang had three long and two short in this hall, wouldn't she be a gravedigger?!

At this time, someone patted her shoulder twice, she knew that it was Gongsun but didn't want to see him, and after a while, she only heard Gongsun say softly:

"Still crying, Mother Guo and Yun Niang just passed."

Qing'er was startled, and hurriedly raised her head to look inside, but she couldn't see anything anymore.

She wiped away her tears and looked into the black hall, her heart rolling up and down, not knowing what was going on inside.

Gongsun suddenly came over and said softly:

"I went to ask, and the person who had just been tried was a habitual offender, and his accomplices had all been recruited, but he refused to recruit alone. The county order was angry and let him beat sixty boards, but the man didn't survive, which was his own fault. Don't worry, the case is different, don't worry. ”

Qing'er bit her lip, knowing that he had good intentions, but it was too barbaric to try the case like this, but Gongsun said that he was to blame.

I think he grew up in the yamen since he was a child, and he has long been accustomed to this kind of thing, but he doesn't know that torture to extract confessions is the main cause of unjust cases.

Now I can only hope that Guo's mother and Yun Niang can pass the test smoothly and not be punished.

I don't know how long it took, Qing'er heard a terrible cry, she grabbed Gongsun's sleeve tightly and asked:

"Do you hear that? Cry! ”

Gongsun was stunned for a moment, shook his head and said no.

But the voice kept tossing and turning in Qing'er's head, and she didn't know if it was an auditory hallucination, or if her ears were too sensitive.

Let's hope it's an auditory hallucination! (To be continued.) )
