Chapter 87
After listening to everyone's testimony, the county magistrate immediately drew a sign and threw it out: "Come on, bring the suspect Shopkeeper Xue and Steward Liu to Lord Ben!" ”
"Yes!" The two officials came out of the ranks and bowed their hands to the county commander.
After a while, Shopkeeper Xue and Steward Liu were taken to the court.
The county magistrate was shocked and asked loudly, "Say!" Who of you is the mastermind. ”
Shopkeeper Xue glanced at Steward Liu, Steward Liu glanced at him, Shopkeeper Xue could only say helplessly: "Lord Hui, the grass people are the masterminds of this matter, and it was the grass people who spent money to buy off Steward Liu, and let him coerce and lure others in the name of Lord County Cheng to achieve his goal." ”
"That's right, it's the grass people who see the money, and the grass people know the crime!" Steward Liu followed.
They didn't dare to confess to the county lord, if they confessed to the county lord, would their family still have a good life in the future?
"Shopkeeper Xue, you have no grievances with Su Yaoxue, why did you murder her?" The prefectural magistrate asked sharply.
"It's driven by profits, and the grass people have already known that they are wrong! The grass people will never dare to fight the idea of Detaimi in the future! "Shopkeeper Xue really regretted it this time, regretted that he couldn't know people clearly, but he didn't expect that there was such a big backstage behind that little girl!
After that, he didn't dare to provoke her again!
"Okay, since you have confessed your guilt, then, sign and draw the charge," the county magistrate snorted coldly, "According to the laws of the Eastern Zhou Kingdom, all murderers will be imprisoned for three years; Wounded, hanged; Killed, slash!
"Someone, after he draws the charge, immediately escort him down to the court.
"Zhou Chengye, Xin Laosan, Steward Liu and others, each play fifty boards! One year for him as an accomplice! ”
In the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, "imprisonment" was a punishment that deprived criminals of their freedom for a certain period of time and forced them to serve hard labor.
The master drafted several indictments and asked all the prisoners to sign and draw them.
Subsequently, Su Yaoxue was found not guilty and released on the spot.
Outside the field, there was a burst of cheers, only the county lord had a gloomy face, and the left and right county lieutenants and the chief bookkeeper were already faintly uneasy.
"The county order actually doesn't give face to Lord Ben so much, and wants to sentence Steward Liu and Shopkeeper Xue according to the law, isn't this a slap in my face?" Lord County Cheng snorted coldly, "Okay, you county order!" Good for you, Su Yaoxue! We'll see! ”
When Su Yaoxue walked out, Su Yaoxue immediately pounced, plunged into her arms, hugged her tightly, and refused to let go, tears wet the clothes on her chest.
"Sister...... It's great that you're okay, sister! Su said in a choked voice.
"Great, don't cry!" Su Yaoxue reached out and wiped his face, "How old are you still crying?" ”
Su Yaoyuan snorted, let go of his hand, smirked, and then said: "Sister, don't worry, I won't let this happen again in the future, I will definitely study hard, gain fame, and then be a big, big official to protect you for the rest of your life!" ”
"How big is a big official?" Su Yaoxue joked.
"Be the prime minister!"
"Good! Be ambitious! Su Yaoxue touched his head.
The guys were also very excited, and they all gathered around her, not knowing what to say.
Ah Qing said: "Shopkeeper, let's go back and boil a pot of grapefruit leaf water for you, and give you a bad luck!" ”
"Yes, we'll pick grapefruit leaves for you now!" Xiao Liu said.
"Let's go back to the rice shop and sell rice first!" Su Yaoxue said.
The people outside the public hall surrounded the guys and walked in the direction of the county gate, and they were also talking about today's case.
"I knew that girl couldn't be a murderer, you see, only a few people have brains!"
"I think you're an afterthought! Speaking of which, it is true that we are not thoughtful, that girl is from a poor family at first glance, how can a poor person not feel sorry for the poor? ”
"That's right! Shopkeeper Xue's three-year sentence is really too little, why does he want to kill that girl? Why do you want to get Detaimi? Don't you just want to make the poor unable to eat? Isn't it just that he wants to force us poor people to death, and if you want me to say, he should be beheaded! ”
"That's right! The nature of this matter is too serious! He is simply making enemies of the vast number of poor people! ”
……
After the people outside the court gradually dispersed, Su Yaoxue looked at Mu Jiuyuan and said with some embarrassment: "I owe you a great favor again, you really have two life-saving graces for me!" Your kindness, I, Su Yaoxue, remember it, in the future, it doesn't matter whether you go up the knife mountain or go down to the sea of fire, as long as you say a word, I won't frown! ”
"If only I could help you." Mu Jiuyuan tilted his head slightly, and his delicate half-side face, like a magnolia flower with half-opened branches, attracted people to stop and look up.
He vaguely half-lowered his eyes in the wind, not daring to meet her burning gaze, his heart beating like a drum.
He is too easily attracted to her, and he is always afraid that he will not be able to control his emotions, so he must always concentrate on expression management.
Don't dare to get too close to her, for fear of trespassing.
Don't dare to be too distant from her, for fear that she will be indifferent to him.
Where the "degree" in the middle is, it is always difficult for him to grasp.
Ever since he met her, all his emotions had arisen because of her, and he wanted to get closer, but he didn't stop.
"You're so good to me, I've decided to bow down to you!" Su Yaoxue said loudly, "If you agree, I will be your sister in the future!" I'll protect you! ”
After saying this, she said a little embarrassed: "Of course, my martial arts are not as high as yours now, and when I live ten or twenty years, my martial arts are higher than yours, and I will definitely protect you!" ”
Mu Jiuyuan was a little surprised, this progress is a little faster?
The little fairy is really straightforward, and she is willing to marry Jin Lan with him so soon?
"Okay," Mu Jiuyuan was overjoyed, and couldn't wait to agree, he was always looking up at her from afar, like looking at the moon in the sky, and now he could get closer to her, he couldn't ask for it, "Miss Su...... Is it serious? ”
He nervously confirmed, a pair of phoenix eyes shining like starlight.
"Of course it's serious," Su Yaoxue suddenly felt a little pitiful for him, so she patted him on the shoulder, "Mu Gongzi, you are an only child, right?" So eager for family affection? You really don't need to be so excited! Let's go, let's go to the City God Temple now! ”
Mu Jiuyuan readily agreed, and Ming Yi immediately brought a carriage over.
Su Yaoxue also thanked Ming Yi for his great help today, Ming Yi didn't dare to ask for credit, so naturally he piled up all the credit on Mu Jiuyuan's head.
After the carriage arrived at the gate of the City God Temple, Su Yaoxue came and was pulled by an unkempt woman: "Miss, Miss, save me!" You bought me for a few taels of silver, and let me bury my father!" I'm very capable! ”
