Chapter 94, I invite you to be a guest (ask for collection and recommendation)
Seeing this, Han Lin was about to push aside the onlookers in front of him, so that Liang Baihu and a few of them could enter and exit.
But he was stopped by Shi Baihu raising his hand.
It seems that Song Baihu didn't want to rush in and interrupt the other party's trial process, but planned to be a bystander like the people.
It stands to reason that in ancient times, ordinary people actually did not like to complain, and many of them had an instinctive sense of awe for the government.
In the countryside, the power of the clan is relatively large, and some things are dealt with within the clan without going through the government directly.
Like that kind of big and important case, sometimes you don't meet one in a few years, it's all trivial things, your family loses a chicken, another family loses a duck, your cow gnaws the seedlings in my field, and so on.
But today's trial of this case is really not a trivial matter, and the time span is as long as fifteen years.
It is said that in a small town below Jixi County, seven people have died in a row in the past fifteen years.
The identities of these seven people are very ordinary, they are villagers in this town.
There are men and women, and most of them are adults.
The reason why the deaths of these seven people can be linked is that they have the same cause of death, and the symptoms they have shown since then are also the same.
The weirdest thing is that when the former person dies and is found, the person who dies later happens to be the onlookers!
For a moment, the case was considered a curse for the poor.
In the past 15 years, the Jixi County Commander has changed several terms, and although there were also people who died during the previous terms, no useful clues were found at that time, and the case could only be hastily closed with the conclusion that the deceased committed suicide.
Not to mention that three of the seven people who died had their families and friends not reported the case to the government at all, and it was only when Rong Zhi decided to investigate the case thoroughly that it was found out.
Such a case, which seems a little mysterious and a little weird, the more time passes, and after word of mouth from everyone to each other, it becomes more and more terrifying, and once caused people to panic.
But such a case really made Rong Zhi solve it, and the real murderer was found.
It is precisely because this case is so sensational that almost the whole county knows about it, which attracts the people of the county, and everyone who has nothing to do on this day gathers in front of the yamen to watch the excitement.
Today is the end of the hall, and everyone wants to see what this serial killer looks like!
Shen Mu was not interested in who the real murderer was, but he was very attentive to the entire trial process.
In this era, the county magistrate is such a parent official, thinking about it, it is really not something that ordinary people can be good and deserved.
The concentration of local judicial power in the hands of county magistrates actually has many drawbacks, and many county magistrates who were born in the imperial examination really do not have professional knowledge of judging cases.
Because of their special status, Shen Mu and the others had a strong sense of awe for them, and unconsciously moved the front position out of the way, so that they could get closer to the open yamen, so that they could see the entire trial process inside carefully.
"Hey, brother, you're here too!" Just as Shen Mu was carefully studying Rongzhi's trial method, he was tapped on the shoulder, and a slightly familiar voice came from behind him.
As soon as he turned around, he saw Hu Qigongzi who showed his four teeth and smiled at him.
Such a beautiful face, showing such a smile, shook his eyes.
He said, there were still two brocade captains brought by Han Lin standing behind him, why didn't these two people give him a hint when the stranger approached him, it turned out to be Hu Qi!
This kid still has the fan from last night in his hand, but the clothes on his body are different from when they met last night.
Today, Hu Qi wore an azure brocade robe, and the sleeves were embroidered with very delicate lace.
Under the lace is a pair of hands holding fans, and the fingers are very slender.
Don't ask him why a man pays so much attention to another man's appearance, it's really because of a person like Hu Qi, even if you don't look at his appearance, it's still there, so you have to look at it.
And if one person smiles at you like two fools, it is often difficult for you to have a bad feeling for the other person.
Not to mention, as long as this Hu Qi has eyes, he can see Liang Baihu standing in front of him, and dare to come over to greet him with a grin, which is really courageous.
"Brother Hu Xian also came to see Lord Rong to try the case?" , Shen Mu raised his eyebrows and asked.
"The little brothers are here to join in the fun, join in the fun!" Hu Qigongzi said with a haha.
Then he lowered his voice and said, "He...... He is...... Your boss, Brother Tai is also a Jinyi Guard? ”
This he naturally refers to Liang Baihu standing in front of Shen Mu?
"Exactly, Brother Hu Xian is very curious about Zaixia?"
"It's a little curious, and Brother Tai also knows that this brocade guard is not something that can be seen every day.
Little brother, I wander around this Jixi County every day, and it is rare to meet any new people and new things, so as to stimulate my little brother's imagination and draw more brilliant paintings! ”
"Oh, I've heard that Hu Xiandi's paintings are famous in the entire Huizhou Mansion, including Jiangnan, when will I let you take a look?"
"Oh, if Brother Tai is really interested, you can come to my Hu Mansion in the next two days, and the younger brother will definitely entertain Brother Tai with clumsy work." Hu Qigongzi warmly invited.
At this time, the little guy who was also following Hu Qigongzi heard the words, and hurriedly stepped forward to hand over a poster, saying: "This son, this is my son's name sticker, you can take it!" ”
"In Xia Shen Mu, if you have time in the past two days, you will set up a visit to the virtuous brother." When Shen Mu received the famous post, he naturally made a simple self-introduction.
"That's good, hey, this case is over?" Hu Qi looked at the hall and said.
At this moment, Rong Zhi in the public court was announcing the verdict of the murderer, and the crowd that was originally noisy at the door suddenly quieted down for a while, waiting for the result.
Shen Mu looked at Rong Zhi wearing a county official robe, sitting on the court with a solemn and solemn face, and then looked at the prisoner kneeling on the ground.
Judging from the human and material evidence found in the court, as well as the prisoner's confession of guilt, the case should be settled.
It should not be an unjust case, but an ironclad case.
This murderer killed the man.
Judging from this case, the IQ of Rongzhi's county order is completely online, and the possibility of creating unjust, false and wrongful cases is extremely small.
Could it be that the son of the old beggar was not wronged, but was coerced or poisoned purely for money?
But the lingering doubts in his mind are always with him, so let's check the case files of Jixi County first!
But this honor is really calm, and several of them have already been squeezed by the people at the forefront.
Liang Baihu's flying fish suit was too eye-catching, and he believed that Rong Zhi sitting in the public court could see it at a glance, but this Rong Zhi still tried the entire case at his own pace unhurriedly.
