He Qi, who was kneeling on the ground and waiting for a knife, looked at Fang Mo in amazement.

The executioner had never encountered such a situation, and quickly looked at the warden.

The prison officer was furious, pointed at Fang Mo and shouted, "Arrest this Diao Min!" Dare to disturb the court, clearly want to rebel and rob prisoners! ”

"Why are you arresting people? Can't you shout injustice? Fang Mo's senior brothers shouted loudly.

"We didn't take prisoners! We're here to cry out! ”

"Our senior brother has been wronged!"

Zhang Yuqing squeezed to the front and shouted loudly: "According to the laws of Great Xia, those who shout grievances in the court must be remanded for retrial!" ”

Fang Mo and a few senior brothers shouted hoarsely: "Remand for retrial!" Remand for retrial! ”

The supervisor was dumbfounded, and the clerk next to him hurriedly whispered a few words.

"Who just shouted injustice?" The warden asked.

Fang Mo stood up, "It's me!" ”

The warden looked him up and down, "Do you know what the consequences will be if the case is retried and the original verdict is the same?" ”

"Know! Just stick out your head and stab it! I went to Huangquan Road with my senior brother, walked together, and was not lonely! Fang Mo said loudly.

He Qi was excited, and shouted in a hoarse voice: "I am not wronged, I confess!" Don't listen to his nonsense, my lord! ”

His voice was quickly drowned out by Fang Mo's shouts of "remand for retrial".

The group of spectators who were originally cold-blooded and numb actually followed Fang Mo's brothers and shouted "remand for retrial".

For a time, the court was full of deafening "remand for retrial".

The prison officer was anxious, slapped the table violently, pointed at Fang Mo and shouted to the officials: "Put shackles on him and escort him back with this prisoner!" ”

The two officials came over with wooden shackles, and Fang Mo calmly put on the shackles and was dragged by the officials to the prisoner car.

He Qi, who was kneeling on the ground, was also called up by the officials, put on his shackles again, and entered the same prisoner car as Fang Mo.

The brothers sat face to face, looking at each other without saying a word, and they were finally reunited.

He Qi's blind old lady couldn't see anything, and her ears were chaotic, only Wang Chunniang kept guarding her, comforting her, saying that Brother He Qi would be safe.

Fang Mo's brothers and sisters ran a few steps after the prisoner car, watching Fang Mo and He Qi get farther and farther away from her until they disappeared into a small black dot in the distance.

A flash of lightning flashed, and then a thunderclap sounded in the sky, and the heavens and the earth shook.

Then heavy rain poured down.

Luo Danyang took off his robe and ran towards the oxcart with Luo Danxia and Zhang Yuqing in his arms.

After getting into the ox cart, Zhang Yuqing told the senior brothers Fang Mo who were chasing after him through the window: "What should I do, Fang Mo has explained it to you clearly, right?" ”

Master Fang Mo's brothers said in a gossiping manner: "It's all made clear, a few of us will act separately!" ”

"Miss Zhang, can this really be done? If it doesn't work......" A man asked worriedly, if it didn't work, not only would He Qi die, but Fang Mo's kid wouldn't be able to live!

"Fang Mo has already entered the prison, the matter has come to this point, we have no way out, whether he and He Zhuangshi can survive or not, we can only rely on your help!" Zhang Yuqing poked her head out of the ox cart, her eyes were firm, and she clenched her fists and said word by word, "It's man-made!" ”

Everyone shouted, "Yes, we have no other way but to do our best!" ”

"Miss Zhang and we are not related, they can help us like this, what are we hesitating about?"

Zhang Yuqing said with a smile: "It's not the last moment, don't give up!" She pointed to the sky and smiled, "God is helping us!" ”

"Isn't it!" A clever man patted his thigh and shouted, "God has manifested the Dharma!" I must know that Brother He is very wronged! ”

Luo Dan looked at Zhang Yuqing intently.

The heavy rain drenched her face, and a few strands of hair on her forehead were wet and sticking to her fair cheeks, a little embarrassed, but the determined look in her eyes, as well as the confident and bright smile, made her beautiful like a painting in his eyes at the moment.

Better looking than all the girls he had ever seen, and all of them were dazzling.

"Second sister, hurry up and get in the car!" Zhang Yuqing greeted Wang Chunniang.

Wang Chunniang shook her head and said, "I see that the old lady of the He family is dying......

Zhang Yuqing's eyes widened.

"I'll stay and take care of the old lady! If no one cares, I'm afraid it won't work. Wang Chunniang's eyes flashed with gentle pity above her face scarf, "If He Zhuangshi can wash away her grievances, maybe she can hold out until He Zhuangshi goes home to see her." ”

The ox cart braved the heavy rain and staggered back to the capital.

Luo Danxia asked Zhang Yuqing worriedly: "Do you really have a way to prove that He Qi was wronged?" ”

"There is indeed a way, but only fifty percent of the certainty." Zhang Yuqing said calmly.

Luo Danxia said in surprise: "Huh? So what to do? If you can't prove it, even the one named Fang Mo will have to be beheaded! ”

Zhang Yuqing smiled slightly, "Do your best, obey the destiny of heaven." ”

Fang Mo is Lu Wei's personal servant, if he is beheaded by the government, where will Lu Wei's face go?

If this matter can be done, everyone will naturally be happy, and Zhang Yuqing is betting that even if this matter does not work out and fails to save He Qi in the end, Lu Wei can rush back before Fang Mo is executed, at least fish out Fang Mo.

Fang Mo didn't commit any unforgivable sins, and the son of a county lord who was favored by the royal family couldn't get a reckless stunned boy, isn't that a joke!

Luo Danyang nodded and said: "There is no 100% certainty in this world, and there are accidents in everything. Yuqing's cousin said it well, do her best, obey the destiny of heaven, and be worthy of her heart. ”

In less than a day, the peddlers and pawns in the capital, the people in the market, and even the officials and family members heard about a strange thing, and the whole capital was in full swing.

A death row prisoner who had been dragged to the execution ground to be beheaded, at the moment when the executioner's big knife was about to fall, was shouted by his affectionate and righteous junior brother in the court and stopped, and the case was retried in Jingzhao Mansion three days later.

Even the storyteller in the teahouse spoke eloquently, and made up a number of storytelling jokes, the whole process climaxed repeatedly, thrilling and abnormal, from the vision of the sky, leaving people under the knife, to the end even God was completely angry, and sent down the Nine Heavens God Thunder to avenge the death penalty. After a day of word of mouth, the version has progressed to the point where tens of thousands of birds are wailing in unison, and the blood on the Dharma field has merged into the word "injustice" and so on......

At that time, people believed in ghosts and gods, and all kinds of magical legends of true and false rendered the whole case a strong mystery. If it is said that Fang Mo is willing to save his senior brother with all his body, he has already made people up and down in the capital believe that He Qi was wronged, and believe it for five or six points, and the theory of ghosts and gods has made everyone believe that He Qi must have been wronged.

Moreover, although He Qi is poor, he is not stingy to help others, and many of his neighbors have been favored by him.

Although there are despicable people in this world, there are more people who are willing to lend a helping hand and help others in times of crisis.

Three days later, the clouds cleared, the rain cleared, and the golden sun shone over the land.

Jingzhao Mansion opened a court to retry He Qi's case, and the entire street of Jingzhao Mansion was surrounded by water, and there were crowds of people, and everyone was looking forward to it, waiting for the opening of the court.

Fang Mo's brothers and sisters arranged manpower everywhere and shouted loudly: "Avenge the people!" Avenge the people! ”

The shouts of "avenge the people" were deafening and echoed in the sky above the capital.

Luo Danyang took Zhang Yuqing and Luo Danxia to the front of the public hall with difficulty, and Fang Mo's senior brother pushed He Qi's blind mother's cart and Wang Chunniang were already waiting there, occupying a place for them.

After a few days of careful care by Wang Chunniang, Mrs. He's face was much better, her body was clean, and her gray and unkempt hair was neatly combed.

"It's hard second sister." Zhang Yuqing held Wang Chunniang's hand and said.

Wang Chunniang pursed her lips and smiled, "Don't say that, I can only do what I can." ”

Luo Danxia complained: "Why are there so many people! Almost squeezed me to death! There were so many more people than the day when they saw their heads cut off! ”

Zhang Yuqing said: "The people who came today are different from the people who watched the beheading that day. ”

"Isn't it all about the fun?" Luo Danxia asked suspiciously.

Zhang Yuqing shook her head, "It's different...... The people of that day were a bunch of idlers and ruffians, they were just a rabble who wanted to see bloody and exciting scenes, and the people who came today were ordinary people. Zhang Yuqing looked around and said slowly: "What they want to see is not lively, but fairness and justice." ”

Everyone has the potential to become He Qi who has been innocently wronged.

Everyone doesn't want to be He Qi who was dragged to the guillotine and died.

What they came here to see was not the excitement, not that He Qi would be killed, but that there was fairness and justice in this world, so that the grievances of powerless and powerless low-level people like He Qi could be voiced, and honest people like He Qi could go home safely.

If someone dies, can the government judge the gourd case, ignore people's lives, use innocent people like them to close the case, and cut off the head of an innocent person? An ordinary person may be powerless and wait for a cruel fate to come, but what about tens of thousands of people in the capital?

The streets were full of people, and the officials of Jingzhao Mansion couldn't drive them away at all, no one wanted to go, everyone was waiting for a result, a result that would satisfy all of them.

This case is no longer a simple murder case, but a public case in which almost tens of thousands of people in the capital participated collectively.

It was getting late and late, but the officials who were supposed to enter the lobby to try the case did not show up, and it seemed that they already knew how difficult the case was.

"Why hasn't the official come out yet? I don't know what happened to the two of them! Fang Mo's senior brothers and others were anxious, and they couldn't help but mutter.

Zhang Yuqing was calm and relaxed, and her smile deepened.

The later the judge who hears the case comes out, the greater the possibility that the case will be overturned. They must be hiding in the inner hall of the yamen to discuss countermeasures in a hurry to see how to try this case, so that they can give an explanation to the public and resolve the monstrous anger of the people in the capital.

Luo Danyang understood what Zhang Yuqing meant, raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Yuqing, how sure are you that you can rescue Fang Mo and the others now?" ”
