"Present the confession to the accused!" The county magistrate instructed the soap next to him, and suddenly slapped the shocked wood, and shouted to the court: "Boldly Diao Min Yao Si, you confessed yesterday that you injured the life of the deceased Lu Er, and you also pressed your fingerprint on the confession, why did you suddenly shout unjustly and retract your confession in the public court today?" ”

"Back to my parents' words!" Yao Si knocked his head on the mountain, and then picked up the blood-stained tattered clothes, pointed to the wounds on his body and cried: "That Lu Erlang invaded the villain's Tianji, and wantonly insulted the villain, the villain was so angry that he threw out the stick, who knew that it fell on Lu Erlang's head, the little one knew that he had committed a crime and came to the county government to surrender, but he was severely tortured by the poor master in prison, and after the villain was beaten several times, he confessed against his will!" ”

Hearing this, the people watching outside the lobby were in an uproar, looking at Yao Si, who was ragged and bruised, there was a little more sympathy in his eyes.

Seeing this, Lotte sneered in his heart, according to his sister-in-law, yesterday this Yao Si didn't receive a few whips and made a 1510 move, and now he has suffered so many injuries, obviously Huo Duwei added material to this Yao Si's body last night, otherwise how can he make a false impression of torture to extract confessions, if the world is black, where can it be black.

"The prison is hateful, and it hurts my people so much!" Looking at the wounds on Yao Si's body, the county magistrate was stunned, and looked at the lawsuit submitted by the Lu family with a restrained look, nodded and said: "The lawsuit in the Lu family's lawsuit is consistent with the confession of the criminal Yao Sifang, and the criminal Yao Si threw a stick to kill the person Lu Erlang, and the plaintiff did not make a far-fetched false accusation!" ”

Hearing this, the Lu family was stunned, and all the people who were watching outside the county government were also stunned, and they understood the difference between throwing sticks and killing with sticks.

"Your Excellency!" The lawyer invited by the Lu family stepped forward and said: "Please check with your parents, the grass people's appearance clearly states that the deceased Lu Erlang was killed by the defendant Yao Si with a stick, not a stick killing as the adults say!" ”

The county magistrate's face was angry, and he instructed the soap next to him to hand the pleadings to the lawyer, and reprimanded sharply: "You Diao Min, who picks words and argues against each other, and looks at it with your eyes wide open, the lawsuit you presented to the official clearly says that the defendant Yao Si threw a stick to kill Lu Erlang, but now he denies it, is it teasing the official?" ”

After taking the pleadings handed by Soap Ling, the lawyer scanned it carefully, and found that the word "use" on the lawsuit that was beaten with a stick had an extra stroke for some reason, and it became the word "dump". It is intentional, and it is unintentional, although it is only a one-time difference, but it has completely changed its nature.

It turned out that the stroke that Lotte added to the paper last night fell under this word, turning the word "use" into the word "throw", which is the so-called difference between one word and thousands of miles.

This lawyer has been walking in the public gate all the year round, and in a moment he will be clear about the cattiness and stakes in the meantime, and he will understand the truth that the light is dark, and how dare he open his mouth to argue again, and stand aside honestly.

Seeing that the lawyer didn't say much, the county magistrate slapped the wood in shock, and immediately made a judgment, Yao Si missed and injured people's lives, and was sentenced to a rod of eighty streams and two thousand miles, so he announced his retirement.

A murder case was stirred up by Lotte except for the Lu family, which not only saved Yao Si's life, made his sister-in-law get rid of his involvement, but also made the two adults have a blue eye for themselves and cling to friendship.

The heart is quite complacent, but in the past few days, Lotte has felt a strange atmosphere from the county office, and everyone sees a smile on their faces, but there is a sense of alienation. This feeling made Lotte feel a little uneasy, and he wondered if he was sensitive.

The status of catching fast is far inferior to that of the officials in the yazhong, but they can freely dispose of their time, and they do not need to sit on duty until dusk like the officials, and then ring the bang to get off the job. Seeing that there was nothing to do in the yazhong, Lotte found a place to hang out on the street to pass the time.

Listening to the music in the teahouse, Shakuchi came over: "Second brother, your sister-in-law asked me to call you home!" ”

"What?" Xiaoqu just heard a little bit of taste, Lotte was a little impatient, but he thought about how Shakuinchi could know what was going on, and after answering, he paid for the tea and left.

"Second brother......" Shakuchi called after Lotte.

"What?" Lotte turned around and saw that Shakuchi seemed to want to say something, but he was a little embarrassed to speak.

After laughing a few times, Shakuchi said a little embarrassedly: "The second brother is now a person in the yamen, and the younger brother doesn't have much to do now, I want to ask for something to do under the second brother!" ”

There are not a few helpers in the yamen, and when they first entered the public gate, they are far from the connections of the old catcher, and there is really no one to call them, this shakuchi grew up with himself since he was a child, and he is also smart and clever, as long as he is tempered a little, he is also a good helper, and he should inherit it.

Seeing that Lotte agreed, Shakuchi left happily.

"Sister-in-law, what do you call me?" Hurriedly arriving home, Lotte saw Li Dutou and asked.

"There's something wrong with calling you from!" Li Dutou had a little pride on his face: "Erlang's books have not been read in vain in the past few years in the academy, and the county lieutenant admires you in private, and regards me as a confidant!" ”

"The little brother is just showing off some cleverness that can't be put on the table, but he is new to the world, where do you know how much sinister!" Lotte said modestly.

"It's good to know!" Li Dutou put away his smile, and his tone was meaningful: "The yamen is dark and the relationship is complicated, you must learn to protect yourself wisely, and you must know the truth that if you say too much, you will lose!" ”

Lotte nodded yes, but in his heart he completely despised his sister-in-law, you caused trouble or I wiped your ass for you, and now I am embarrassed to teach me a lesson.

Seeing that his wife was not in the house, Li Dutou lowered his voice: "Tonight, Huo County Lieutenant set up a wine in Xinghualou to thank Master Yan, ordered me to sit with him, and specially told my brother to take you with me. ”

Lotte replied repeatedly, and couldn't help sneering in his heart, he was only seventeen years old, and who would know that the seventeen-year-old body contained a soul in his thirties.

At this moment, Li Dutou's voice changed: "But things always depend on blessings and misfortunes, you and I have to be careful!" ”

"Why did my brother-in-law say this?" Lotte was surprised and a little puzzled: "The two masters regard their sister-in-law as their confidants, as long as they are careful, what is there to worry about?" ”

"When you first entered the public gate, you don't understand the twists and turns of the world!" Li Dutou's face changed solemnly: "This time let Yao Si live's life, but being a brother is offending the Lu family, this Lu family is a local surname, which of the officials in the yazhong is not related to the Lu family, in the future, these people will have to secretly make some stumbling blocks for you and my uncle!" ”
