Chapter 140: Verdict

Xu Xiangxiong's kung fu of reversing black and white can be described as perfect, and in his mouth, Liu Lin became the culprit of the murder.

"Xu Xiangxiong, you villain, my brother Liu Lin is innocent, he didn't kill anyone, it's you Xu Xiangxiong who is honest and blamed, your notoriety, no one in the entire Jiyang County doesn't know, my brother Liu Lin is an upright person, everyone can see it!"

The anger in his heart overcame fear, Er Mazi clenched his fists tightly, clenched his knuckles white, and then slammed his knuckles to the ground, and suddenly raised his head, seeing that his eyes turned red because of anger, and the pockmarks all over his face were constantly twitching.

"Xu Xiangxiong, it's clear that the murderer is you!"

Er Mazi kowtowed to the county lord who was sitting high above the temple and said:

"The county magistrate, this person is the one who does evil all day long, and the people of Jiyang County know it, I hope that the adults will give the villain justice!"

Er Mazi's tone trembled a little, the truth of a nest of snakes and rats, he was clear in his heart, but now, what can he do, a deep sense of powerlessness filled the whole heart.

"Silence!"

The county magistrate sounded the alarm, and then acted according to the so-called process:

"Since both of you are arguing and identifying each other as the perpetrator, do you have any objection to calling witnesses according to the law of the hidden dragon?"

Xu Xiangxiong smiled indifferently, and above the court, he seemed to be in his own back garden:

"As it should be, my lord is wise. ”

Er Mazi's heart was a dead ash, this Xu Xiang Xiong dared to summon witnesses, he must have done his hands and feet, closed his eyes tightly, Er Mazi only had to respond hard:

"Grass people, no objections......"

When the county magistrate heard this, he waved his arm as fat as a pig's foot, stood on the side of the public hall, and the officers and soldiers who were specially responsible for shouting immediately shouted:

"Witness!"

Er Mazi just beat the drum outside the county government to voice grievances, and it took less than half a pillar of incense to be accepted by the court, and the government had found witnesses, this kind of efficiency is really impressive.

After a short time, I saw two officers and soldiers of the government with swords, escorting two men in sackcloth to the court.

There was a lot of pressure in the courtroom, and the two men in sackcloth were like thieves and rats who had seen a cat, and hurriedly knelt on the ground, their bodies trembling like chaff, which was very unbearable.

Xu Xiangxiong shook the folding fan with a smug expression, and even disdained to look at the two witnesses brought to the court, with a little playfulness on their somewhat handsome faces.

The witness has been brought to the court, and the county magistrate is about to slide off the wooden chair, and slowly speaks, if it weren't for his body that was too fat and thin to be fed by the people, he would have looked like a clean official:

"Who is the surname of the people in the hall?"

The county lord is in the hearts of the two Mai men, that is really a big man, and the life and death of his own life are all in the thought of the county magistrate, at this time, when he heard this powerful voice, he was even a little frightened when he spoke:

"Hui, Hui adults, the small one is named Zhang Hu, in the market in Jiyang County, selling some small things for a living. ”

Another stammered and replied:

The villain's name is Li San, and he and Zhang Hu are fellow villagers and sell meat buns in the market. ”

After the two of them said that, their hearts were about to beat out of their throats, and since they were brought to court, they kept their heads down, just thinking about finishing the inquiry quickly and leaving this oppressive place of right and wrong.

"Very well, now what the official asks you, you must answer truthfully, if there is the slightest concealment, the official will be severely punished. ”

"Yes, yes, the little ones don't dare, don't dare to lie!"

Zhang Hu and Li San, like prey surrounded by wolves, trembled.

The county magistrate then asked:

"Since the two of you are stall owners in Jiyang County, can you set up a stall at noon today?"

"Yes, yes, Xiao and Zhang Hu are all setting up stalls, from early morning to noon, all the time. ”

Li San didn't dare to look up, for fear that if he took one more look, he would bury his own life.

"In this case, I must have witnessed how the shoe seller died, and the reason why I found you must be clear. ”

When the two heard this, Zhang Hu didn't dare to answer, since he was a child, the fear of the fierceness and cruelty of the government has been deeply engraved in his heart, Li San swallowed a mouthful of foam with difficulty, and then quietly turned his head to look, only to see Xu Xiangxiong looking at himself with a smile, Li San seemed to see a jackal that eats people and does not spit out bones, his eyes suddenly widened, and he quickly turned his head, lying on the ground and shivering.

The county lord's fat face was stacked vertically and horizontally, and then he slammed the startling wood, and together with the fat on his body, he surged layer by layer like a wave:

"Hurry up!"

The two of them were shocked, and then Li San tugged on his cuffs tightly and said with difficulty:

"Just, at noon today, I, I was cleaning up the stall, and I saw that Liu Lin, wanting to rob Grandma's property, this Liu Lin does all kinds of evil on weekdays, but he is a bully, Grandma and Liu Lin had a dispute, Liu Lin got on the fire, and then he shot Grandma to death......"

As soon as he heard this, Er Mazi lowered his head deeply, and sure enough, the ordinary people of his own district were the opponents of these county government offices.

The corners of Xu Xiangxiong's mouth raised slightly, this kind of scene is interesting to him.

Li San looked nervous and peeked at Er Mazi, who was also kneeling on the ground beside him, and saw that he didn't have any plans to rush over and fight with him, so he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then said:

After Liu Lin killed his grandmother, he attacked others like crazy, and at this time, Lord Xu arrived in time and ordered the family to subdue Liu Lin, which avoided a tragedy. ”

After Li San finished speaking, he and Zhang Hu kowtowed to Xu Xiangxiong together, and their foreheads collided with the hard stone brick floor, and the sound of knocking was very harsh in the court.

Xu Xiangxiong was shocked, and hurriedly helped Li San and Zhang Hu up, patted the dust on their knees with his own hands, and saw that he looked righteous and awe-inspiring:

"It is my honor to be able to share the worries and solve problems for the people, you don't have to make this great gift, but to deal with these rats who play with right and wrong and try to blame others, they must be severely punished according to the law and cannot be tolerated, otherwise, how can you be worthy of the grandma who died tragically, and the people who have been oppressed by Liu Lin and suffered unspeakably over the years?"

Er Mazi knelt on his knees and did not say a word from beginning to end.

The county magistrate nodded lightly in agreement, and then saw him knock on the shocking wood and said:

"Case closed. ”

The master, who was constantly writing testimony on the side, heard this and knew that this was the result of the case, so he hurriedly sat upright, concentrated, and waited for the conclusion of the county master.

"The complainant, Liu Zhu, beat the drum at noon to voice grievances, according to the laws of the Qianlong Dynasty, those who beat the drum to voice grievances need to be tried in person by the county order. ”

"Now the evidence is conclusive, the testimony is clear, and the verdict, the accuser, Liu Zhu, slandered others, and acted badly, and was fined 30 boards, and immediately executed, so as to set an example. ”

"Liu Lin committed murder on the street, the crime is unforgivable, and he was beheaded at three o'clock in the afternoon three days later!"

Which is right and which is wrong, right and wrong, is all decided by the county order, the master stopped the brush in his hand, the fate of the two Liu Zhu brothers has been written on a cheap piece of yellow rice paper, with the record of the case sent by the master to close the case, I saw that the county master picked up the official seal on the public case and stamped it with a bright red county seal.

The case has been closed, the dust has settled, the entire county government, only Er Mazi is still kneeling in the public hall, the officers and soldiers holding court sticks on both sides, their faces are solemn, their momentum is solemn, Xu Xiangxiong's sarcasm is not hidden, and then he walked slowly to Er Mazi's body, just like he did with Liu Lin before, he knocked Er Mazi's face with a folding fan, and then whispered in his ear:

"Just you, you still want to fight with me, and you don't look at how many catties and taels you have, and the people who provoke me Xu Xiangxiong can't escape!"

"Click, click, click,"

Er Mazi squeezed his fist as hard as a stone, resentment and unwillingness, all of which surged into his heart, and he even had a momentary impulse to tear him to pieces and break his body into pieces regardless of everything!

The head was buried deep in his chest, and Er Mazi knew that his defense was useless, and he looked at his speechless appearance, as if he had admitted this conclusion and accepted his fate.

The two official guards with swords stepped forward quickly, grabbed Er Mazi's arm, and were about to pull out of the court to carry out the punishment, Xu Xiangxiong saw this and bowed to the county order:

"The county magistrate, in the next opinion, instead of the punishment in the government, it is better to drag this Liu Zhu to the street, this person is extremely evil, reversing black and white, making false testimony for his brother, punishing in front of everyone, but also to inform the world that we Jiyang County County Ya, uphold justice, for the country and the people's image, but also reduce the phenomenon of people making false testimony in the future, kill two birds with one stone, why not. ”

The county master's eyes wandered, and then he smiled with satisfaction:

"Nephew Xu, this is a good way, and it can also show the people of Jiyang County the majesty of the county government and suppress villains like Liu Lin, who do a lot of evil. ”

Seeing that the county magistrate waved his hand, he immediately ordered:

"Take Liu Zhu to the gate of the county government and punish him on the street. ”

"Yes, sir!"

After the two guards clasped their fists and saluted, they took Erpozi, who was silent like a dead dog, and pulled him out of this extremely filthy public court.

After seeing that Er Mazi was completely dragged away, Xu Xiangxiong looked at Li San and the two of them, who were bowing their heads and trembling, and said softly:

"Well done, you can go now, remember, what to say and what not to say in the future, it should be clear. ”

Li San and Zhang Hu nodded hurriedly and hurriedly responded:

"Understand, understand, the things of the day, we don't know, we don't know......"

Xu Xiangxiong nodded with satisfaction, and then waved the folding fan in his hand, Li San and the two of them saw this, they didn't dare to delay at the moment, they all fart, and they escaped from the mansion with a crawl, and the two of them rushed out of the gate all the way, pushing away the people who were watching, and disappeared at the end of the street with everyone's surprised eyes and discussions.
