"Hui Lord,"

Although he had already apologized to Zong Jiyuan before this, when he heard Lord He's question, Yu Kun still showed a guilty expression on his face, and said,

"It is not the master who coerces the sinners, but the uncle of the sinners, Yu Chunjue."

"Do you recognize that?"

He Ruichang asked again.

Yukun bowed upward, very surely,

"The sinners have recognized it, and they are definitely not grandmasters."

"Okay, take note of this testimony,"

He Ruichang turned his head and commanded Lord Zhang Wenbingzhang, the county magistrate, who had come to act as a record in front of the hall, and then nodded to Zong Jiyuan and said,

"Grandmaster, you can sit next to you."

"Thank you, sir."

Zong Jiyuan smiled slightly, and Lu Hong, who was standing on the side, hurriedly moved a chair for her to sit down.

At this point, the problem that needs to be solved is almost solved, and the only thing left is how to make a judgment. However, as for how You Kun should be handled, He Ruichang thought that it would be better to wait until he returned to the second hall and discussed with Zong Jiyuan and others, so he asked You Kun to sign and transfer the detention and temporarily suspend the detention back to the prison.

At this time, Yu Kun was already discouraged, like a walking corpse, without any complaints, but he didn't see any desire to survive, just mechanically doing everything according to the requirements, waiting for the final result.

After leaving the hall, Master Shi said that he was a little tired and went back to the guest room to rest. Everyone also knew that this was to give them room for discussion, so they sent him away and went to the second hall together.

sat down in priority and order, and He Qingyu was busy making tea for everyone next to him. Seeing that his son seemed to have grown up all of a sudden in this case, He Ruichang saw it in his eyes and was happy in his heart, and even his mood became much better.

Picking up the teacup and taking a sip, Lord He looked at Zong Jiyuan and Diao Sanlang, and said,

"What do you two think about how this case should be settled?"

The question was raised, but neither of the two people who were asked said said sound.

Zong Jiyuan felt that he was involved in this case, after all, so it was better not to put forward his own opinion and listen to what Diao Saburo had to say. But Diao Saburo uncharacteristically only cares about drinking tea, and is simply indifferent to the problems of adults.

Looking at the two of them side by side with very strange eyes, He Ruichang looked a little angry, put down the teacup, and said,

"What's wrong? You two have an opinion about this official, and you don't want to pay attention to me, don't you?! ”

Seeing this, He Qingyu, who was standing aside, was a little anxious, but he didn't dare to interject, so he had to pick up the teapot and refill the water for everyone.

Zong Jiyuan really didn't expect this kind of scene, although on the way back from Dongping Mountain, he found that Diao Saburo hadn't said a word to himself, but how could he think about it, until now he is still angry. Turning his head to take a look, he saw that although Diao Saburo's face was a little shaken, he still didn't want to speak, so he had to cough lightly and said,

"My lord, in this case, after all, the student has a lack of thought, so I feel ......"

"Oh, yes,"

Seeing that she was indeed very uneasy, He Ruichang showed a funny look and said,

"That's true, but the question of whether you want to be thoughtful or not, I'll talk about it later, and now the official is asking how to close the case."

"Hmm...... Students felt, "

glanced at Diao Saburo again, and seeing that he was still silent, Zong Jiyuan had no choice but to say,

"The main culprit in this case, Yu Chunjue, should already be in the law, so he can report it to the top like this. As for Jukun, the crime of being coerced to kill is not subject to the law of 'forgiveness by coercion,' and he has the status of a 'son of a thief,' which ......"

"yes, what should I do about that?"

He Ruichang asked with an expression of "That's what I said".

Zong Jiyuan thought for a moment, sighed, and said,

"My lord, I won't tell you, although Yukun grew up in the thief's den, he has always maintained a kind nature, in addition to the fact that he once helped me escape, there is also Li Shunfeng's daughter, Xiaoyue girl, if he didn't protect Xiaoyue, that girl would not have been rescued at all, and she didn't know where she was sold. The student felt that when he reported to the top, it could be said that although Yu Kun was the son of a thief, he took the initiative to cooperate with the government, so he was pardoned before, and Yu Chunjue was resentful because of this, and threatened the lives of his relatives and friends to coerce him to kill, so that he could be exempted from criminal responsibility according to the laws of the Qing Dynasty. Do you think this is possible, my lord? ”

"Okay,"

He Ruichang listened, nodded with satisfaction, and said,

"It's not a loss to you Ji Yuan, you are very thoughtful, San Lang, what do you say?"

"Oh, yes, what the adults said is not bad at all, and it does make sense to deal with it like this."

Diao Saburo raised his head at this time, glanced at Zong Jiyuan, and said.

He Ruichang looked at the expressions of the two of them again, and felt very amused, and slightly hung the corners of his mouth.

"Then it's so decided, Ji Yuan, since this case has nothing to do with you, hurry up and take on your responsibilities, the case file is still written by you, don't let Master Zhang suffer anymore."

"The students got it."

Zong Jiyuan sat in his seat and bowed to He Ruichang, and glanced at Diao Saburo unnaturally.

Diao Saburo didn't look at her again, and immediately stood up and said,

"In that case, Ji Yuan, let's go and do our own thing, so that the adults can have a good rest."

"Okay."

Zong Jiyuan hurriedly stood up, followed Diao Saburo's footsteps, and walked out of the hall, at this time, she really looked like a child chasing closely behind the adults.

Looking at the back of the two of them going out, He Ruichang finally couldn't help laughing, He Qingyu, who was still standing beside his father, looked out of the door uneasily, turned back to look at him, and said,

"Father, why are you still laughing, Brother San Lang, he looks very unhappy, will he scold Ji Yuan?"

"Don't worry, Saburo's love for Ji Yuan is no less than that of you and me,"

He Ruichang still smiled and said,

"At best, it's just a reprimand from the elder brother to the little brother, and besides, Ji Yuan, this kid is also a little too strong, no matter what he wants, he wants to carry it himself, and someone should scold him."

"But, what if Ji Yuan is scolded and cried......

He Qingyu was still very worried and muttered,

"No, after a while, I have to go and see him, if I am scolded by Brother San Lang and am in a bad mood, I have to coax him as a brother."

"Do you think Ji Yuan is like you? I cry at every turn,"

He Ruichang listened to it angrily and funny, and gave him a blank look and said,

"If you want to go and see him, even if you want to go, why make any excuses. By the way, it's okay to go to Ji Yuan, but don't make trouble for others, you know! ”

"My son got it."

While agreeing, He Qingyu turned around happily and left......
