As soon as the old woman spoke, the rest of the people followed, all crying and shouting, some scolded God for being blind, some scolded the wicked for being black, some cried that they were so good that they were born and a family were separated forever, and some people made trouble for their daughters to ruin their faces and were lonely all their lives, and there was chaos outside the Yimen.

The magistrate slapped the shocked wood and shouted: "Above the court, how can it be noisy!" ”

The crying of the people outside gradually decreased, but it did not stop, but turned to low weeping, accompanied by the snow, which was even more gloomy and compassionate.

Zheng Lin in the hall was a little annoyed.

Foolish people cannot be reasonable, but they can cause chaos.

But is the law judged by public opinion? It's that he wants to do it, the matter involves arson, and he has to be sentenced to death, and the court and the central criminal department will come to check the file for review, without evidence, how can it be so easy!

This case was originally simple, someone set fire to and kidnapped people, and everyone has already obtained all the stolen goods, as long as the good life is sentenced, it can be praised by the upper and lower levels, who would have thought that these messy rumors would suddenly pop up.

If it is tried by the yamen, the person who handles the case will pull out a big tumor, which is a hoe and a punishment of evil, everything is easy to say, but at this time, it has been spread all over the market, but the investigator can't find the slightest trace, which makes him very annoyed.

In fact, it is not surprising that it cannot be found.

It has been too long since the previous water walk, and the arson case, as long as it is not caught red-handed, it is almost impossible to find traces afterwards, after all, all the evidence has been burned as soon as the fire burns. What's more, most of the houses that had been destroyed have long since been rebuilt, and it is impossible to restore them again.

Zheng Lin signed the verdict and used the seal again, and then nodded to the magistrate.

If such a case is not in court, as long as it is not as good as the people outside, they will make a lot of noise. It didn't take long for Yanzhou to recover, and it was already very chaotic, once it became a momentum, Yang Kui was on the front line, and he was in charge of the yamen, and he couldn't escape from a lack of supervision.

In this case, it is better to ask Gu Pingzhong's own family to argue, and let the people listen to it, knowing that the yamen has done its best and does not intend to cover up.

Thinking of the confession of Gu Pingzhong that he saw the day before yesterday, Zheng Lin became angry in his heart.

A little businessman, as smooth as a fish in the water, does not touch the slightest wrong, does not do any bad things, is as clean as a blank piece of paper, is this the yamen as a monkey?

Living in the same courtyard and growing up together, Gu Pingli's position in the right place was still bought by his money, if he didn't know what the other party had done, the ghost would believe it.

But there is no evidence of partiality!

Wait for a later date!

Not to mention Zheng Lin's face, the official on the side got his signal, and asked Gu Pingli: "You committed such a crime and want to kidnap the daughter of the good family to return home, does the eldest brother in the family know?" If you take away the servants and servants of the house, how can the eldest brother in the family not hear about it? ”

Gu Pingli shook his head and said, "Although my brothers live in the same house, they have nothing to do with each other, and he doesn't know the evil things I did. ”

The magistrate said to the servants: "Xuan Gu Pingzhong." ”

As a person involved in the case, Gu Pingzhong was summoned to the yamen of the state capital early, and as soon as the official was announced, he was brought up almost immediately.

Gu Pingzhong just appeared, and there was immediately a scolding outside, he only frowned slightly, and soon calmed down, when nothing happened, he took half a step forward and saluted the hall official.

Ji Qingling, who was standing on the side, saw his demeanor, and his heart sank slightly.

Unmoved by external objects, such a person must have a very forbearant mind, so that he escaped this catastrophe, and he does not know what will happen in the future.

She looked at Gu Pingzhong here, but she didn't know that Gu Pingzhong was also looking at her from the side, the difference was that the mood of the two sides was completely different.

Ji Qingling was fortunate with a hint of worry, but Tai was half to watch the play, and he didn't panic at all.

Gu Pingzhong is angry with disgust, and there is a faint resentment, although he is scheming, and has done many ruthless things, and his palms have long been spicy, but it is the first time he has been dealt with so badly.

It's a huge loss.

not only gave away Gu Qingluan's net worth on the bright side, but also lost a useful younger brother, almost trapping himself in.

Now although his life has been saved, his reputation has been discredited outside, because of those messy rumors, he must also hinder the eyes of the state government yamen.

If a businessman offends an official, will life be better in the future?

I don't know how much effort it will take, and how much money it will throw in, to save the situation a little.

He glanced at Ji Qingling, his eyes were like poisonous snakes, but he quickly retracted his gaze.

It's all because of this slut!

Don't be in a hurry for the time being, wait until you get out of trouble first, and there will be a chance to rectify her in the future.

Gu Pingzhong was still thinking about it, and the magistrate in the hall had already begun to speak, and he opened two sentences, and then asked: "In this case, the fire folds, wine, and fire oil carried by the arsonist Xing are all from your shop, do you have anything to explain?" ”

"The shops are open to the outside world to do business, just to buy and sell, and as for the customers to buy and do, it is not something that the villain can control. If you only sell fire folds and drinks, you will be responsible for arson, so that those who sell knives and sticks will not have a livelihood in the future? ”

Gu Pingzhong said loudly.

He used to be a merchant in a shop, and he learned from his experience in the shop, and he was eloquent, and he cleared himself up in a few words.

As soon as these words came out, the hall suddenly became quiet for a while.

A hint of pride flashed in Gu Pingzhong's eyes.

Zheng Lin wanted to take this opportunity to clear the yamen, and he Gu Pingzhong didn't want to take this opportunity to clear himself.

He glanced at Ji Qingling, who was standing far away, and said loudly: "The villain knows that there have been many absurd theories in the city recently, saying that the villain instructs the wicked to set fire to the wicked for money!" The villain swore a poisonous oath here, if there is such behavior, I will be thundered in the sky, and I will not die! ”

The magistrate frowned, and was about to stop drinking, telling him not to say anything in the court, Gu Pingzhong had already continued: "Besides, everyone only said that the shops that sold bricks, tiles and wood were owned by villains, and the shops that sold water utensils were run by villains, so they suspected that villains were doing such crazy things for money, so the villain said it directly!" ”

Gu Pingzhong turned around and pointed at Ji Qingling and said: "Although those shops are managed by villains, they are owned by this woman's husband's family, no matter what they earn, they are their money and goods, if you want to scold, don't find the wrong head!" ”

This accusation, wrapped in strong malice, is all about misfortune and pushes all the responsibility out.

The people were stupid, and when they heard the reversal in this hall, they all immediately fixed their eyes on Ji Qingling.

Being glared at hatefully by hundreds of pairs of eyes, Ji Qingling was not afraid at all, nor was he at a loss when he encountered an accident like ordinary people, but turned around, calmly looked at Gu Pingzhong, and replied: "May I ask the master of the Gu family, you said that those shops belong to my husband, do you have a certificate?" ”

Gu Pingzhong smiled coldly and said, "Naturally, there is, you will know as soon as you check the deed paper at the Yamen!" ”

Ji Qingling said again: "Then I also have something I want to ask the master of the Gu family, if you have property in your name, you are not a fourth-class household, and if you have a property in your name, you are not a third-class household, do you know?" ”

Without waiting for Gu Pingzhong to answer, Ji Qingling had already continued: "Since you said that my husband has so much property in his name, and you also know that there is still one person left in his family, why did you report him to the state to serve as a husband?" ”

After saying this, Ji Qinglingfu turned around again, bowed to Yingying, the official in the hall, and said: "So that the officials know that my husband is eighteen years old this year, and he is the only one left in the door, but he was reported to the state by the second master of the Gu family, and now he is serving in Dingyao Mountain!" ”

She paused and said, "It is incumbent on you to serve the imperial court, but I also want to ask Master Gu, since you know that those properties belong to my husband, and you two are uncles and nephews, you know the situation in his family, why do you still have a husband?" Why did I return to Yanzhou for a long time, but my family didn't get half of the interest? ”

Ji Qingling spoke very slowly, and raised her voice loudly, so that the people outside the Yimen could also hear her words clearly.

I was worried that there was no way to pull out the matter of my husband's service, who knew that you would be here to help!

Ji Qingling glanced at Gu Pingzhong, and wanted to say thank you sincerely!

I have suffered a pain, but I still don't care, I really think of myself as a little girl who can't speak when she is frightened, and wants to make myself suffer a dumb loss in the court?

Dream on!
