Chapter 61: The Prefect Comes

When the executioner heard this, he was about to slash down with all his strength, but as soon as he retracted his strength, he flashed his waist, then put the knife down and rubbed his waist.

The county master obviously also heard the sentence of leaving people under the knife, so he took the master down from his seat and came to the edge of the stage to see who said this.

It doesn't matter if you don't look at it, I was shocked when I saw it, I actually saw the prefect!

The onlookers were all frightened by this sudden change, Ye Haixuan rode a horse to open the way in front, followed by the carriage of the prefect. The sound of "keep people under the knife" was shouted by Ye Haixuan.

Seeing that things had taken a turn for the better, the He family's desperate hearts rekindled hope, and they looked at Ye Haixuan like a savior.

"Ye Gongzi, you must save my eldest sister!" He Xiaoxiao shouted to Ye Haixuan with tears in her eyes.

Ye Haixuan looked back at He Xiaoxiao and nodded.

"I didn't know that the prefect was coming, the little one should be damned!" the county magistrate hurriedly got off the stage, came to the prefect's carriage and saluted.

"I think you're damned. "The prefect looked at the county master, and came directly to He Jingjing's side.

"Child, you are suffering. The prefect looked at He Jingjing, who was embarrassed at the moment, and tied a wooden board with "chopping" written on his back, and was very distressed for a while, and said to He Jingjing.

After He Jingjing saw the prefect, she couldn't say anything, she had cooked a few meals for the prefect at the beginning, and today she was willing to come to the execution ground for herself, and her heart was full of emotion and guilt.

Seeing that the prefect was so kind to He Jingjing, the county lord on the side immediately broke out in a cold sweat, this He Jingjing would not have any friendship with the prefect!

The county magistrate followed the prefect's footsteps with apprehension and came to the prefect's side.

"Your Excellency, please come and sit over there. The county magistrate bowed, and then invited the prefect to his shady main seat. The prefect snorted coldly, glanced at He Jingjing again, and then sat on the seat.

At this moment, Ye Haixuan handed over his horse to the domestic servant, and then came to stand behind the prefect.

"I don't know what the prefect is doing this time?" the county magistrate continued: "If the matter is not urgent, can you wait for the lower official to behead the criminal before giving orders, so as not to miss the time." ”

"Hmph, what time did you miss?" the prefect became even more angry when he heard the words of the county master, and yelled at the county master.

The county magistrate couldn't get the attitude of the prefect for a while, so he could only tentatively talk about He Jingjing's cooking and eating the dead, and by the way, he also asked the family of the deceased to come up, and cried to the prefect.

Looking at the family members of the deceased in front of him, Ye Haixuan's eyes sank again.

"You said that He Jingjing's food ate people to death, but is there any evidence?" the prefect said to the county magistrate after glancing at the deceased's family in disgust.

"Lord Hui, this is a human witness. After speaking, the county master also added that many people saw rotten meat and dead rats in He Jingjing's kitchen yesterday.

"In other words, He Jingjing was only arrested yesterday, and you are going to behead her today?" The prefect became even more angry after hearing this, his goddaughter was framed by someone, not to mention, the county master didn't even try it, and was anxious to ask what it was, isn't it a weak heart!

"Lord Hui, the prefect of this matter is very complete, and the lower officials think that there is no need for a retrial. The county magistrate said in a weak voice.

The prefect didn't care what the occasion was here, and scolded the county magistrate with his head and face. 、

"I'll tell you, I've eaten a lot of my daughter's dishes, and I'm still thinking about it, how can I be okay after I eat so much!"

The county magistrate keenly captured the key words, daughter? He Jingjing is the daughter of the prefect? No, isn't He Jingjing's father and mother standing below, they are all farmers in the village, and they are powerless.

"Lord Prefect, what does this have to do with your daughter?" After thinking about it, the county lord still denied his conjecture, and only asked the daughter of the prefect without mentioning He Jingjing.

"You listen to me, my daughter is He Jingjing, who is now being escorted by you to be killed!" the prefect's beard was crooked, and he yelled at the county magistrate.

When the county magistrate heard this, his legs immediately weakened, and he never thought that He Jingjing would have such a relationship with the prefect.

"I know He Jingjing's character, otherwise I wouldn't accept her as my goddaughter, I usually have too late to be a baby who was sentenced by you so casually, and was sentenced immediately, and was in a hurry to execute without even a trial, I think you are weak and afraid of overturning the case!"

"Although there was some negligence on the part of the procedural officials, many people saw dead rats and rotten meat in He Jingjing's kitchen that day. The county magistrate stubbornly said: "And He Jingjing's dishes are indeed eaten to death." ”

Seeing that the county magistrate still didn't get in with oil and salt, he had to behead He Jingjing, and the prefect would not be popular. Ye Haixuan, who was on the side, took a deep breath, trying to calm his mood of wanting to beat the county master, and then wondered how much benefit the Zhong family had given the county master, so that the county master could still convict He Jingjing at this time.

"So do you have to kill He Jingjing?" The prefect glared at the county magistrate, and the county magistrate simply broke the jar and broke it, and continued: "It's not that the lower officials don't give the prefect face, but this case is already very clear, He Jingjing's dishes are indeed eaten to death." ”

"What if I have to let you be killed?" the prefect looked at the county lord with a rogue face and said with a tough attitude.

"If the prefect has to use his official position to suppress the lower officials, the lower officials will have nothing to say. The county master simply played a scoundrel, but the master who followed behind the county master panicked. If the county lord has to behead He Jingjing and the prefect now, he will be hated by the prefect in the future, and he can copy the county lord's house for a reason, and he will be implicated at that time!

"Master, it's better to take this He Jingjing into custody first, and it's not too late to kill him after the three sessions and five trials are completed, if you offend the prefect, you will be in big trouble in the future!" the master reminded in the ear of the county master.

After such a reminder from the master, the county master sobered up a lot and immediately put on a smiling face.

"He Jingjing's matter is now known all over the city, and the lower officials think that they will not be beheaded for the time being today, and it is not too late to be beheaded after three halls and five trials, I don't know what the prefect will ...... will."
