The officer's face was panicked, and he dared to say that the woman was lying.

"Sun Qiang, you ruined my family, even if you turn to ashes, I recognize you." The woman rushed over and slapped the official Sun Qiang hard, eager to kill him.

Sun Qiang pushed the woman to the ground with his backhand, Liu Zhimo frowned, and slapped the shocking wood hard, "Stop!" He glanced at the guard and told him to help the woman up.

The guard nodded, strode over to the woman, reached out to help her up, and asked her if she was hurt.

The woman shook her head and said no.

"Don't be anxious, your lordship will make the decisions for you."

When the woman heard this, she knelt down again with a plop and kowtowed to Liu Zhimo.

All her hopes are on the county magistrate, and she hopes that this magistrate is not like the faint official before, who wronged people at will.

Liu Zhimo glanced at the woman with a heavy heart, then turned his head to look at Ma Xiancheng and asked him to take out the previous file.

When he was sorting out the file, he saw the case, but the file convicted the informant and was imprisoned for half a month.

Ma Xiancheng responded and took out the scroll, Liu Zhimo spread it out, and read it again seriously.

"Old man, is your daughter's name Tang Jiao? Is your husband's name Tangshan? โ€

"Yes, my lord, the woman's name is Huang Jingjing, yes..."The woman told her all about her family situation, and told what happened back then, and after finishing speaking, she knelt down and kowtowed to Liu Zhimo, "My lord, you must be the master of the people's women, and the spirit of the people's daughters and children and their fathers in the sky." โ€

"Don't worry, this official will not let the guilty go unpunished."

"Master Xie."

The unjust case three years ago was re-overturned by Liu Zhimo at this moment.

The official named Sun Qiang tugged at his robe hard to control the trembling in his heart.

You must be steady, it has been so long, and it will not be found out.

Sun Qiang kept comforting himself in his heart and calmed himself down.

Liu Zhimo was not in a hurry, and asked the guards to investigate around the woman's house and bring more witnesses back.

If he doesn't make a move, he will definitely make Sun Qiang unable to turn over.

He will not tolerate such a bad thing.

"Give the old man a seat." Thinking that the investigation would take some time, Liu Zhimo couldn't bear to look at an elderly man and kneel in front of him.

When the woman heard this, she waved her hand again and again, and said no, no, no.

How could she let the county magistrate treat her like this?

She couldn't help wiping the tears from the corners of her eyes, this county magistrate is a good person, not a faint official before, seeking money and killing people.

Seeing that the woman really refused to sit, Liu Zhimo had no choice but to let her stand instead of kneeling.

The woman hesitated, thanked Liu Zhimo again, and then stood with her back hunched to the side.

Liu Zhimo looked at the people standing in the public court, and said loudly, no matter who has been wronged, no matter how many years the case is, he can still come to overturn the case, he will definitely investigate it clearly, and the innocent person will be innocent.

As soon as these words came out, the people knelt down one after another, shouting loudly, the lord is wise.

Some of the wronged people wiped their tears, and God finally opened his eyes and sent a county order for the sake of the people to their Ninghua County.

Liu Zhimo raised his hand and told them to get up without kneeling.

After waiting for about half an hour, the guards who went to investigate returned, and at the same time brought several people back.

When they saw the woman, they called out to her.

The woman wiped her tears, bowed to them, and thanked them for their willingness to testify.

"Auntie, Jiaojiao is something we have seen since childhood, and we are very happy to be able to do something for her."

Liu Zhimo patted the shocked wood and asked the questions of the witnesses.

After questioning the witnesses, Liu Zhimo looked at Sun Qiang again and asked him what else he had to say?

Sun Qiang was paralyzed on the ground, so frightened that he couldn't speak.

How can he justify being told in such detail?

"Your Excellency." Ma Xiancheng handed the case he wrote down to Liu Zhimo and let Liu Zhimo look at it.

Liu Zhimo glanced at it and felt that there was no problem, so he asked him to take it to Sun Qiang.

Ma Xiancheng said yes, walked up to Sun Qiang with the case, and asked him to sign and draw the charge.

Sun Qiang was pressed by the guards, and he couldn't protest, so he could only sign his name tremblingly and press his own handprint.

It's over, it's over, he's done this time.

I wonder what crime the prefectural magistrate will sentence him?

"Sun Qiang, who has committed repeated crimes, does not repent, and this official sentences ...... Kill and decide. Liu Zhimo took the deciding sign and threw it in front of Sun Qiang, "Escort the end first, and ask for the beheading after the autumn." โ€

As soon as the verdict came out, the people cheered, and such a wicked person should have died a long time ago.

"Lord Xie is the master of the people's wife, Lord Xie." The woman knelt down with tears streaming down her face and kowtowed to Liu Zhimo a few times.

Girl, child, father, have you seen it? The wicked who have ruined our house have been condemned, and you can rest in peace.

Sun Qiang threw himself on the ground, shouting that he was not convinced, why should he be sentenced to be killed?

"Ma Xiancheng, you read Sun Qiang's crimes to him one by one, let him listen, how many crimes he has committed, should he be decided?"

Liu Zhimo glanced at Sun Qiang coldly, and turned his head to explain to Ma Xiancheng.

Ma Xiancheng responded, and read out aloud the crimes committed by Sun Qiang one by one.

At the end, the people shouted loudly and decided to decide, Sun Qiang had committed so many crimes, he should have been decided.

No one had been in charge of them before, but now they can finally speak out about their grievances.

Sun Qiang lay on the ground with a pale face, and had nothing to say.

Liu Zhimo asked the guards to drag Sun Qiang down and put him in a cell.

The remaining officials didn't dare to say anything at all, they were afraid that they would end up like Sun Qiang.

Liu Zhimo glanced at them and decided to take them into custody first, and then sentence them well.

"This official is waiting for you at the Yamen, if you have any grievances, just come to beat the drum and voice your grievances." Liu Zhimo stood up and glanced at the people again, "Retreat." โ€

After this incident, Liu Zhimo was busy until it was dark, going out early in the morning and coming back in the middle of the night.

The whole person lost a lot of weight, which made Li Qingling feel distressed.

"Don't get up, keep sleeping." Liu Zhimo reached out and pressed Li Qingling, who wanted to follow him up, and kissed her on the forehead, "Remember to get up for breakfast, huh?" โ€

"I'll cook for you at noon." Li Qingling reached out and touched his face, "Pay attention to rest, don't resist." โ€

Liu Zhimo hummed and kissed her on the lips again before standing up and leaving.

During this time, there were a lot of people who beat the drum and voiced grievances, and he overturned the cases one by one, so busy that he didn't even have time to drink saliva, let alone eat well.

However, seeing the smiles of the people, it was all worth it.

"Lord Prefectural, morning."

Liu Zhimo walked on the road, and when he saw his people greeting him, he smiled and nodded one by one.

"Lord County, come and eat steamed buns, I made my own buns, they are very delicious."

As soon as the two big buns were stuffed into Liu Zhimo's hands, the people ran away.

Liu Zhimo wanted to call people back, but he couldn't do it.

"Lord Prefectural, come and eat baked cakes."

Another person wanted to stuff the baked cakes into Liu Zhimo's hands, Liu Zhimo hurriedly took a step back, waved his hand and said, no need, let him keep it and sell it.

He was afraid that other people would also stuff things into him, so he was so scared that he ran away.

The people were so enthusiastic that he couldn't resist it.

"Whoa... The prefectural magistrate is too polite. โ€

"I saw that the county magistrate had lost a lot of weight, and tomorrow I will catch an old hen for the county magistrate, so that he can make up for his body."

"Finally, there is a county magistrate who thinks about our people, but I can't let him be exhausted, I'll see if there is anything to make up for my body at home, and send some to the county magistrate."

"I'll go home too..."

Liu Zhimo, who ran to the yamen, didn't know that the people would be so dedicated to him, and they all wanted to send him something to make up for him.

He hurriedly finished eating the two buns and threw himself into the scroll again.

Not to mention the people outside, even Ma Xiancheng admired Liu Zhimo very much, and often went home to tell Hu Juanjuan that the county magistrate is a good official, and he thinks about the people wholeheartedly, he must follow the county magistrate, and he can't drag the county magistrate back.

"My lord, this is the millet porridge boiled by my wife, let me bring some for you to drink." Ma Xiancheng pushed the millet porridge in front of Liu Zhimo and asked him to drink a little to nourish his stomach.

Liu Zhimo glanced up at Ma Xiancheng, smiled at him and said, "Forget it this time, don't bring it next time, I had breakfast at home." As he spoke, he took the millet porridge and drank it quickly.

He stood up and wanted to take the bowl and wash it and return it to Ma Xiancheng.

As soon as Ma Xiancheng saw his posture, he hurriedly snatched the bowl over, "Lord County Commander, I'll come, I'll come." "How could he let the prefectural magistrate wash the dishes?

While washing the dishes, Ma Xiancheng sighed that the upbringing of the county magistrate was too good.

Even the four stinky boys in his family, playing with the young masters, have become much more polite and sensible.

He was comforted to see it.

"Ma Xiancheng, come, take a look at this volume." Liu Zhimo saw Ma Xiancheng coming back with a bowl, beckoned to him, pushed the file in front of him, and asked him to see, "Do you still have an impression of this case?" โ€

Ma Xiancheng took the file, read it seriously, frowned and recalled, and then had a little impression.

He nodded, recounting what he remembered.

After listening, Liu Zhimo frowned, what was the reason for the woman to withdraw the case?

"Have time to go to Wutong Village and see what's going on?"

"Yes..."Thinking of Wutong Village, the corners of Ma Xiancheng's mouth twitched involuntarily, whoever was arrested for no reason and taken to the firewood house would not have a good impression of that place?

Liu Zhimo silently wrote down this matter, put the file aside, and looked at the other files.

This morning, no one came to report the case, Liu Zhimo stood up, stretched his waist, turned his head to look at Ma Xiancheng, and asked him to go back for lunch.

"What about you?" You won't skip meals again, will you? "Lord Prefectural, do you want me to bring you food?"

"No, my wife cooks today, and she will come to bring me food."

Caught off guard, he was fed a large handful of dog food.

Ma Xiancheng glanced at Liu Zhimo sadly, what's the big deal about his wife bringing him food? He also has a lady, and he has to ask the lady to bring him food, hum...
