After a while, Fang Da broke the silence: "I ordered someone to write a pleading, you can take the pleadings to Dali Temple to sue me and ask for redress, just say that I handled the case unfairly and wrongly sentenced Lu Hao to death." In this way, Lu Hao's death should be retried. And Chu Tiankuo's case of their robbery should also be retried. ”

Shui Mai was stunned for a moment, and quickly reacted: "In this way, the person who sacrificed is Lord Fang, not me." Once it is found out that Lu Hao's crime is not to death, I am afraid that the black yarn will not be guaranteed. In serious cases, they will be dismissed from their posts and investigated. ”

Lord Fang sighed lowly, and looked at her helplessly: "It's a small matter for me to lose my official position and abandon my armor. If Lu Hao's death sentence is correct after a retrial, he deserves it. I'm afraid that the girl will have to bear the sin of false accusation. When the time comes, I won't be able to eat and walk around. If it is verified that Lu Hao should not be sentenced to death, then the case of Chu Tiankuo's robbery of prisoners is expected to be overturned. ”

Shui Wei listened carefully with a worried expression, and a pair of eyes looked at Lord Fang blankly, as if he was thinking.

Master Fang continued: "No matter what the result is, Chu Tiankuo and they don't have to be beheaded the day after tomorrow. At the very least, it can be delayed for a while. This would give them plenty of time to think about how to rescue them. Perhaps, the emperor will return to the palace at that time. ”

As soon as his voice fell, Shui Wei didn't have time to think and asked, "Lord Fang, how sure are you that the case of Lu Hao's death penalty will be overturned?" ”

Lord Fang whispered in a stern tone: "Sentencing Lu Hao to death is very likely to be a misjudgment by me. So the girl of the water vein relaxed. Chu Tiankuo's case of robbing prisoners will definitely be overturned. ”

Shui Mai was startled and blurted out: "Wouldn't that involve Lord Fang?" ”

Master Fang stood up, paced around the room for a while, and then said, "It's my fault, and I should be held responsible." ”

Shui Mai's expression froze, and after thinking for a long time, he made a difficult choice: "Since Lord Fang understands the righteousness so well, then I will agree." ”

In order to save Chu Tiankuo and them, she had no choice. No matter what the cost, she had to give it a try. She couldn't watch Chu Tiankuo and them being beheaded.

Who knows, Master Fang didn't finish his words. Among them, there are some twists and turns. He said with a sad face: "Miss Shuimai, if you don't know, the civil prosecutor, whether it is reasonable or not, will be punished first." You can only sue if you can endure it, I am afraid that you will not be able to withstand the punishment. ”

Shui Mai was not afraid of color, and smiled calmly: "The adults are too worried." I am a person who practices martial arts, and I can protect my body with my strength, and I can still withstand ordinary punishments. As long as I can save Chu Tiankuo and them, I am willing to suffer from flesh and skin. Compared to the loss of Lord Fang's reputation, it is nothing that I suffer a little. ”

Lord Fang's face was depressed, and his tone was full of anxiety: "The girl of the water vein is really a hero among women. I appreciate that you can sacrifice your life so much. However, I advise the girl to think twice. The torture is unbearable, and if you don't die, you have to lose half your life. ”

Shui Mai had a resolute expression on his face, and resolutely said, "Lord Fang, you don't have to persuade me anymore, I have made up my mind." Since the adults are willing to sacrifice, how can I be indifferent? Adults quickly ordered someone to write a paper, and early tomorrow morning, I will go to Dali Temple to beat the drum and voice the grievances. ”

Master Fang didn't say anything more, just nodded.

At that moment, the two went back to their rooms to rest.

It was night, and Shui Wei was lying on the bed in wonder, full of thoughts. Thinking of Chu Tiankuo and Chi Le in the prison, I was panicked, tossing and turning and couldn't sleep. What kept flashing in his mind was Chu Tiankuo's figure, and his image lingered in his heart.

She couldn't watch them being beheaded, this kind of torment was really worse than death. She had already made up her mind to save them, even if she risked her own life. She is willing to fight for true love, even if it is a moth to a fire.

The autumn wind outside swept away the leaves, and the waning moon that was originally at the head of the building had set in the west, hanging obliquely on the treetops of the willow trees, and the candle flame disappeared little by little. She lost sleep like this, and opened her eyes from dark to dawn.

'Giggle ......'

The sound of dawn was heard, and a ray of the morning sun shone down from the east. The morning sun casts its full light on all things on the earth, bringing hope and light, and the earth becomes vibrant.

However, the water veins were languishing due to insomnia all night. Finally, she waited until dawn, and she got up early. After hurriedly freshening up, he hurriedly left the prefect's yamen and went to Dali Temple.

Walking out of the gate of the prefect's yamen, she suddenly remembered that Master Fang had not yet delivered the statement to her. So, she turned back to find Master Fang.

Last night, Lord Fang had ordered someone to write a statement overnight. When he saw the water vein, he hesitated to take it out.

Master Fang had a sad expression on his face, and said heavily: "Miss Shuimai, you should think about this matter carefully. "That breath was as dull as mildew.

The laws of the Great Western Kingdom stipulate that if the common people sue the imperial officials, regardless of the final outcome, the common people will be guilty first.

If a civilian wants to sue an official, he must first hand over the pleadings and then accept the punishment. There are many kinds of punishments, such as hitting the board, pinching the fingers, rolling the nail board, and so on. This is a test of whether the people really have grievances.

Moreover, there is also a provision that if the civil prosecution official is not successful, the crime will be increased by one degree. In any case, unless you have to, don't choose this strategy, and don't be the kind of 'outlaw' who is not afraid of death.

This may seem inhumane, but it is actually necessary. Just imagine, if ordinary people can casually sue the court officials, how much pressure will be caused to some judicial institutions such as Dali Temple.

Hearing this, Shui Mai was stunned for a moment. Do you want her to think again? Could it be that Lord Fang repented? After all, this matter is related to his reputation and career, and it may ruin his future and his life. Lord Fang's repentance is also understandable. She can understand. If so, she has nothing to do. How could she force Lord Fang to let him lose his official position and lose his reputation for the sake of Chu Tiankuo?

There was a sudden depression in her chest, if Lord Fang repented, what could she do to save Chu Tiankuo and them. The ruddy face of the past was like a withered flower, without any brilliance.

Tomorrow is about to be executed. She suddenly became flustered, and layers of cold sweat broke out on her back. This is completely different from her usual calm and calm, and she is completely like two people.

Seeing that Shuimai was silent, Master Fang thought that she had repented, and sighed softly: "Shuimai girl, I respect your choice. Your life is also your life, let you take your own life in order to save them, I can't bear it. For today's plan, I can only hope that Lord Feng can find the emperor. ”

When he said this, he felt so vain. There was only one day left, and waiting for Lord Feng to move in to rescue the soldiers, it seemed that there was little hope.

Only then did the water vein understand. It turned out that Lord Fang was worried that she would not be able to withstand the punishment. She suddenly felt ashamed, just now, she thought that Master Fang was worried about his own future.
