Chapter 57: Convictions
In the county office, the county commander is not good-looking, but his face is majestic.
Because in that inconspicuous corner, there was an enshrinement of Dingyun Pavilion staring, so he didn't dare to slack off.
At the same time, the county order was faintly angry.
His anger was that even if he wore the uniform for so long, he sometimes had to be a dog.
Yes, this county magistrate thinks about the mirror in his heart, many times, he does this, but when he encounters a force like Dingyun Pavilion, he can't be the master.
The six major forces of one sect, two pavilions and three families naturally did not dare to override the royal family, but so many years of infiltration have made them have a lot of influence on the court.
In Wuyi Lane that day, all the people in Dingyun Pavilion were slaughtered, but there were still a few witnesses on the periphery who saw that the general trend was gone and fled.
Nine out of ten of the people in the station died, and the only thing left was to report to the top in fear, and it was this Li who took over.
Li Xianfeng happened to be stationed in Huangxi City, not far from Bianzhou City.
When he got the news, his first reaction was shock.
This shocked and stunned not only because someone dared to kill Dingyun Pavilion, but also because a descendant surnamed Wang died inside.
This junior surnamed Wang is the nephew of Elder Wang, who is highly respected in the cabinet.
Speaking of which, he, a small worshipper, had to rely on this Elder Wang many times, so he didn't dare to slack off, so he could only continue to spread the news, and the instructions he received asked him to deal with this matter first.
This instruction was not given by Elder Wang himself, but by Elder Wang's confidant Zhao Chong.
Elder Wang is not in the pavilion for the time being.
As Elder Wang's left arm, Zhao Zhong said that he would come as soon as possible, but he had to do it first.
Because if this matter drags on for too long, some means will not be good.
This made Li Xianfeng feel a lot of pressure.
This matter is done well, Elder Wang has died of his nephew, and he will not be in a good mood, so it is naturally difficult to be rewarded.
But if this thing is not done well, and Elder Wang is in a bad mood after his nephew dies, then he will be the one who suffers.
According to Zhao Chong's suggestion, Li Xianfeng decided to make the murderer's capital crime a reality first.
Sure enough, this young man surnamed Jing is not an ordinary person, not to mention his methods, and his actions are quite rigorous.
So many people died that day in Wuyi Lane, and when they rushed there, they didn't find any corpses, not even decent bloodstains.
But Dingyun Pavilion wants people to be sentenced to death, and they never need too much evidence, not to mention that this kid is the real murderer!
Facing the pressure from Elder Wang's side, Li Xianfeng quickly took action, and then sat here, waiting for Jing Yue to be convicted.
Yes, when he thinks about it, he thinks it's the most appropriate way.
After all, the other party is a guy who can kill Li Laosi.
Li Laosi has a bad reputation in the pavilion, but Li Xianfeng knows that the other party is a real figure in the four realms.
It is naturally better to be able to kill people with the hands of the court than to take risks by himself, not to mention that he has already sent someone to find out, this kid is a rare genius, but he really doesn't have much background.
Jing Yue came to the county office, and the county magistrate glanced at the worship of Dingyun Pavilion, and was annoyed in his heart, and couldn't help but pat the wood, and said angrily: "Bold Jing Yue, you killed many people in a row the night before yesterday, can you be guilty?" ”
Jing Yue responded indifferently: "I don't know." ”
"Bold! You kill and don't know what to do? By the way, since you see this official, why don't you kneel? The prefectural magistrate asked.
Jing Yue replied, "I don't want to kneel." ”
Seeing Jing Yue's answer so crisply, the county magistrate was stunned for a moment, but thinking of Jing Yue's identity, he replied: "You can not kneel." ”
The imperial court wanted to restrain the monks in many ways, but the monks have been highly respected since ancient times.
Monks of the second realm and above can not kneel when they see the county order, which is a rule handed down in ancient times.
The county magistrate estimated that Jing Yue could let Dingyun Pavilion worship go out in person, and his strength must be good, so he didn't dwell on this, so he reminded him of the old thing: "What about murder?" Convicted? ”
Jing Yue shook his head and replied, "I didn't kill the person. ”
By this time, the face of that Li had become more and more gloomy, as if it was covered with dark clouds.
"You didn't kill people, who killed them?" The prefectural commander is full of majesty.
"Back to my lord, at that time, there were bandits who kidnapped my third son, Shen Yun, and went to replace him with a silver ticket, and suddenly a masked knight came out halfway and saved me. I didn't know what happened after I left. Jing Yue replied seriously.
"By the way, my lord, I want to report the crime, someone has committed murder and kidnapped people!"
He added.
Seeing that Li Xianfeng's face had become more and more unsightly, the county magistrate could only be "just" and say: "Presumptuous!" Nonsense, but someone saw you commit murder with their own eyes that day. ”
"Witnesses."
At this time, a middle-aged man in gray was brought in.
"Tell me, what did you see that night?" The county commander looked at this person and said according to the script with a numb face.
The gray-clothed middle-aged man hurriedly said respectfully: "Back to the adult, the little one's name is Zhang Asi, the old house is in Wuyi Lane, I wanted to go and get something the night before yesterday, but the umbrella broke, so I had to stay there, but I suddenly heard a commotion, and I saw ......"
After that, he told how Jing Yue killed people.
This person's speech skills have obviously been trained, and he actually used a few true and a few false descriptions to describe Jing Yue as a murderer who robs things and does not succeed in the killer.
"You mean, this Jing Gongzi is a murderer who can't ask for it?" The prefectural magistrate asked.
"Yes." The man in gray replied.
At this time, the county magistrate looked at Jing Yue and said, "The witness is here, but you can still quibble?" ”
Jing Yue shook his head and said, "This person farts." ”
At this time, Li Xianfeng picked up the teacup and coughed.
The county commander only felt helpless, so he could only become angry all of a sudden, slapped the wood, and said angrily: "The witness is here, and you dare to quibble?" Do you want to be served by a great punishment? ”
Jing Yue was puzzled: "What about the evidence? This person can be convicted with one mouth, isn't this yamen lobby child's play? ”
In fact, Jing Yue still overestimated the rigor of the judgment in this ancient world, too many cases are tortured into tricks, and it would be good to have personal evidence.
The county magistrate scolded: "Are you questioning the judgment of this official, or are you questioning the iron law of the dynasty?" Now that there is an adult from the Supervision Department here to supervise the case, even if you have some ability, don't think about making a mistake! ”
The county order is full of majesty on the surface, but in fact, it is bitter in the heart.
This case is really not something he can think about, because this time it is not only Li Xianfeng, but also an official from the Supervision Department.
Dingyun Pavilion made such detailed preparations, just to want Jing Yue to die.
He also asked his boss before acting, but the boss didn't say anything, just asked him to close the case as soon as possible, and he had already made his position clear.
It can be said that this yamen is opened by Dingyun Pavilion at this moment, he is just a tool man, what can he do?
Now in the courtyard behind him, there are even better hands brought by the adults of the Supervision Department lurking, if Jing Yue really wants to resist, he will definitely die.
It can be said that Jing Yue's confession is death, and if he does not admit his guilt, he has to be beaten to confess his guilt and die.
"This official asks you again, do you plead guilty?" The county commander sighed secretly, and could only act according to Dingyun Pavilion's intentions.
Jing Yue was directly silent.
The county magistrate glanced at the official of the Supervision Department and nodded to him, so he could only say: "Come on, torture!" ”
As he spoke, he was already trembling, ready to hide from the Supervision Department at any time.
At this time, I saw several officials of the Supervision Department come out with various kinds of torture instruments in their hands, and many of them were glowing green, and at first glance they were specifically aimed at monks.
Jing Yue stood there with a serene expression.
In fact, there were ripples in his heart.
It stands to reason that Gu Qingchi should come to something, but unfortunately nothing is happening here.
Looking at the green and faint stinger torture instrument, the true element in Jing Yue's body was already circulating.
Just as he hesitated to resist, a drum beat suddenly sounded.
