Chapter 172: Falsely accused

The two classes of officials knocked on the killing stick, and there were words in their mouths, such as "mighty", and the atmosphere suddenly became solemn.

The last time she entered the yatang, she was falsely accused by Zhu Changbai, Nanping County ordered Zhang Jinglin and Zhu Changbai to wear a pair of pants, she and Yang Ling almost suffered a big loss, and this time they entered the yatang, but they were still falsely accused.

The prefectural order doesn't look that bad, but it's hard to predict what the outcome will be.

Yang Ling stood in the hall, holding Qu Xiaobai's hand all the time, and the dozen or so killers were lying on the ground.

The killer countersued the killed, this plot is a bit familiar. Like a thief who told the thief that he had hurt him, Qu Xiaobai vaguely remembered that the thief won the lawsuit in the end.

That's in modern times, there are such absurd results, this is the system. Less advanced ancient times.

Guo Jiutai first asked the names and origins of both sides, Yang Ling and Qu Xiaobai replied naturally that they were Chu Zhi and Mu Yiling, those killers, it is estimated that they are not real names, one of the leaders said that he was from Nanping County, running a gambling house, Yang Ling gambled with him and lost a huge amount of silver, refused to give it, they had no choice, so they chased here.

The original intention was just to scare and scare him, just to make him hand over the money, but he didn't expect his martial arts to be so high that they were all injured and disabled.

Guo Jiutai asked: "Chu Zhiren, what do you say?" ”

As soon as he asked, he saw Cui Jian coming in from outside and clenched his fist to Guo Jiutai: "Hello, adult." ”

"Mr. Cui? What are you doing here? ”

"It's nothing, I heard that there was a big case, come and take a look."

Cui Jian walked to Guo Jiutai's side and stood still, without saying much.

Yang Ling didn't look at him, and said: "Since it is a debt, then ask them to take out the IOU, if there is no evidence, my lord, don't I say anything?" ”

Guo Jiutai said: "Then do you have any credentials in your hands?" ”

"My lord, the Chu family has a lot of power in Nanping County, and we don't dare to offend, so how dare we let him write an IOU?"

"Since you don't have the evidence, the county can only determine that you are framed. False accusations plus attempted murder are felonies, do you know it? Guo Jiutai slapped the shocked wood.

"My lord, my lord is wronged, he really owes us gambling debts, and we have someone to prove it!"

Qu Xiaobai sneered: "Human witness? For the first time, I've heard that such a thing as a debt is proved by a human witness. There is no proof in black and white, even if you call the king of heaven, it is just to make people laugh. ”

Yang Ling said, "Why don't you let them hand over the human certificate?" I'd love to see what this witness is sacred. ”

Guo Jiutai said: "Who is your witness, call up." ”

He ...... He's waiting outside the door right now. ”

"Where are the witnesses? Come to the church. ”

When a servant went to the outside of the yamen, he saw a tall man standing at the door of the yamen in the dark, and it was dark outside, and he did not see his appearance clearly, and the official asked, "Are you the one who has come to testify?" ”

"Exactly." The man shook his head.

"Your Excellency asked you to come to the court."

The man followed the official to the court, Yang Ling glanced at him, and his eyes sank.

Qu Xiaobai felt that his mood was wrong, and couldn't help but whisper: "What's wrong?" ”

Yang Ling said softly: "It's your coachman, the one surnamed Hu." ”

Qu Xiaobai's heart chuckled, and he involuntarily clenched Yang Ling's hand. Yang Ling whispered in her ear: "The worst result is just to fight with Lu Xiaoxiao, you don't have to worry." ”

The warm words entered his heart, and Qu Xiaobai only felt that a trickle of warmth seemed to flow into his heart.

"Hmm." She whispered yes.

"Who knelt down in the hall?"

"The villain Hu Lianting, a native of Nanping County." Lao Hu trembled, kneeling and not daring to raise his head, nor daring to look at Qu Xiaobai.

Qu Xiaobai heard it clearly, this was indeed Hu Xijing's voice. She didn't say anything, she stood quietly. Yang Ling was also indifferent, and he didn't even look at Lao Hu.

Guo Jiutai asked, "Chu Zhiren, do you recognize this person kneeling?" ”

Yang Ling shook his head: "I don't know." ”

"Hu Lianting, how do you testify to Fang Xiyun in this casino?" Guo Jiutai asked again.

"Little ...... The villain is a frequent visitor to the casino, often, often goes there to gamble, and that day he went to gamble, and happened to see this, this ......"

"What's this? Why did you stumble? ”

Guo Jiutai was shocked, so frightened that Lao Hu trembled, and knocked his head like pounding garlic, "Adult, the adult forgives the sin, the small one was forced by someone, and the small one didn't mean to commit perjury." ”

"What do you mean by that?" Guo Jiutai narrowed his eyes, and his sharp eyes stared at Lao Hu.

Lao Hu lowered his head, where did he dare to look at his eyes, and said tremblingly: "The small, the small one is actually from Dongshu County, the little one doesn't know these two people at all, they arrested the little one, let the little one come to identify them and owe the silver, and threatened the little one and said that if you don't come, you will kill the little one, and the small one is also a last resort, please save the little one from the old man Qingtian." ”

Qu Xiaobai listened quietly, still silent.

The leading killer said: "You are talking nonsense! Don't you know them? Aren't you the coachman next to them? ”

"Lord Qingtian, it's really not small!"

"No, there are a lot of people who have seen you show up with that kid!"

"The little ones really don't know them."

"Nonsense! I've seen you catch a car next to him! On the day of the murder, you separated from them and ran away alone, by the way, there was no Chu Zhi person at that time, and the one next to you was the one named Mu Yi'an! My lord, several officials met them that day, just ask! ”

Guo Jiutai glanced at everyone in the hall coldly, and said sharply: "So, you really forced him to commit perjury?" ”

The leading killer was stunned for a moment, "My lord, why don't you ask him why he ran away, and what is the relationship with this kid?" ”

"The county will naturally ask, but that has nothing to do with this case, and the county will naturally conclude this case first." Guo Jiutai's eyes were shining.

"My lord! Their master and servant must be hiding something, maybe they are murderers! ”

"Fang Xiyun, this county asked you, is the debt forged?"

Guo Jiutai is a very assertive official.

"This ......"

Guo Jiutai slapped the shocking wood to the sky: "Recruit from the truth!" Why did you kill Chu Zhi and Mu Yiling, and who instructed them to frame them for owing money and not paying it back! ”

Fang Xiyun and the others were lying on the ground, describing themselves as miserable, but after all, they were killers, and they did not lose in momentum, "We are killers, using people's money to eliminate disasters for others, there is nothing to say, if you want to judge, you will be sentenced!" ”

"Do you people think so?"

The killers lying on the ground were silent, and the air froze for a while, but for a moment, one of the killers still couldn't hold it and opened his mouth: "We killers who are small don't know anything, everything is made by Fang Xiyun." Whether it's murder or perjury, we're just doing what we are told. ”

"Fang Xiyun, don't you have anything to say?"

"If you want to kill, I don't have anything to say!"

This kind of killer is an outlaw, Guo Jiutai understands very well that the torture tools are useless to him. His sharp eyes narrowed slightly, and he held the shocking wood in his hand, hesitating whether to leave the shocking wood and pronounce their crimes.

Yang Ling suddenly said: "My lord, why don't you let me ask him a question to see if he will confess." ”

Guo Jiutai pondered, "Okay." ”

Yang Ling let go of Qu Xiaobai's hand, but Qu Xiaobai held it again, "What are you going to do?" She asked nervously.

"I just went over and asked him a few words. You wait here. ”

"What is there that I can't hear? I'm with you. Qu Xiaobai insisted.

Yang Ling looked at her helplessly. He really didn't want her to hear his foul side. Although he knew very well that he could not hide anything from her, he still deceived himself and did not want her to see another side of him.

Qu Xiaobai insisted.

Yang Ling didn't insist after all, he sighed softly, took Qu Xiaobai's hand, walked in front of Fang Xiyun, looked at him condescendingly, and said coldly: "You are not afraid of death, why are you subject to others?" I think there must be a reason for this. If you're not afraid of me finding out why, you just have to be silent. But I'm telling you, my methods are much more ruthless than the one who threatened you. ”

Fang Xiyun twitched.

He has seen Yang Ling's ruthlessness.

But he still held his breath, gritted his teeth and said, "If you want to kill, you will kill!" No more nonsense! ”

Yang Ling smiled coldly, "I know, you are killers, you are doing business with your head hanging on your trouser belt, you have hard bones, and you are not afraid of death, but you are not out of the cracks in the stones, and you also have relatives and parents, or, do you want me to use the means on them?" ”

Fang Xiyun twitched a few more times. The killer lying on the ground has bones that are not so hard, "I don't know, I'm just a killer, if you want to find it, you can find his family!" ”

"I can't tell which of you is innocent and who is not. Having said that, if you participated in the assassination, you are not innocent, and it is not an exaggeration for me to take revenge on your family, right? Yang Ling's tone was light and cold.

"We didn't see that person, it was Fang Xiyun who went to see it himself! You let us go, we really just take money to do things, unaware! ”

"With this backbone, you still come out to be a killer? Fang Xiyun, right? All of you who participated in the assassination today, I will make your families ashamed of you and ashamed of your life. Moreover, you can't survive, and you can't die. ”

"You...... You ......" Fang Xiyun found that in the face of such a terrible opponent, he couldn't even speak.

Guo Jiutai looked at Yang Ling quietly, did not stop him, and there was no excessive emotion in his eyes.

Qu Xiaobai was also quiet, without words. Yang Ling's tone was cold, and she even felt that he must be able to do it.

No wonder he didn't let her get closer.

In fact, he was too worried, since she chose to be with him, she chose everything about him, his good, his bad, and all his things, she would accept it.

"Actually, if you don't say it, I can guess who is behind you." Yang Ling sneered.
