Chapter 51: Don't be afraid, I'm here
The man got up, he looked at Si Wan with a modest look in his eyes, lowered his body and said, "Thank you, Miss." β
"If you want to thank me, don't open your eyes and tell nonsense. After Si Wan finished speaking, he got up and stood aside.
After this little episode passed, the county magistrate interrogated again, and the county magistrate raised the shocking wood on the table and slapped it down, "Who is the person in the hall, but Zhong Sheng's cousin?
"I... I ......" The man looked up at Si Juan, unable to speak for a long time.
Zhong Sheng was anxious on the side, "Cousin, tell me quickly, did you see my father killed by the Si family's guards!"
"It's... I saw it with my own eyes, and I heard from the escort who led the team...... It was the eldest lady's instruction that as long as she saw the villagers of Puzhong Village, she would be killed!"
The man lowered his head to the ground and finished his words in one breath.
"It's... Miss Si, you... Is there anything you want to say?"
The matter involved Si Juan, and the county magistrate did not dare to interrogate it again, so he asked Si Wan cautiously.
Si Juan touched his eyebrows, thought for a while, and said, "I have never had such an instruction, and besides, I have never had a holiday with the villagers of Puzhong Village, why do I kill people for no reason?"
"Because you want to take back those five acres of land!" Zhong Sheng shouted.
Si Wan smiled angrily: "Those five acres of land were originally our family's property, I have the title deed in my hand, and if I want to take it back, I can be just and bright, why should I bear the name of murder?"
"Because you don't care whether you kill or not, human life is like an ant in your eyes! You killed a few people a few days ago, and now what is it to kill a few more lowly villagers!" Zhong Sheng said.
"I've wanted to say it for a long time, this eldest lady of the Si family is really a relation, not only is it okay to kill her own guard, but she is also in charge of the Si family. If it had been for us ordinary people to kill people, we would have died a long time ago!"
"It's too vicious, taking the lives of our people instead of their lives, how can a person like her deserve to live to this day!"
"Silence!"
There was a lot of noise in the hall, and the county magistrate patted the startled wood, and then it quieted down.
But after being quiet for a long time, they quarreled again, this time no matter how the county officials patted the shocking wood, it was useless, and the people standing outside the yamen had already begun to denounce Si Juan.
Dayou rushed in and beat Si Wan together.
But if it's a group fight, I don't know who beat whom.
"Miss... We ......" Green Willow was startled by this battle, pulled Si Wan's sleeve, and shouted in a low voice.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here. Si Wan patted Lu Liu's hand comfortingly.
"It seems that Master Li can't handle this case. β
A female voice suddenly came from outside the yamen, and Si Wan's heart sank suddenly.
This is... Yang Liu's voice?!
"General Gu!"
Sure enough, the crowd gave way, and Yang Liu walked in leisurely from the outside.
And Yang Liu's arrival is a big savior for the county officials!
To say that Si Juan's background is big, with the support of the Si family and Nan Gongjin. But Yang Liu is not bad, he has the Yang family on his back, and he is a capable officer under Nan Gongjin, and he is also good friends with Gu Pingyin, and he is also a five-five open with Si Juan.
"Meet General Yang!" everyone knelt down and saluted Yang Liu.
Only Si Juan and Green Willow stood in place, and there was no luggage at all.
Yang Liu didn't care, she walked up to Si Xuan and said with a smile: "There are really a lot of things about you these days." β
"In order to continue to be the fiancΓ©e of Lord Nan, you also worked hard, tried your best to return to the Si Mansion, and also took charge of the Si family. β
"Miss Yang is good. Si Juan was not inferior to Gu Pingyin in the slightest, and said with a smile.
Yang Liu sneered and sat directly in the position of the county magistrate, "I also happened to pass by here, I didn't expect to encounter this kind of thing, if Lord Li doesn't mind, I will try this case for you, how about it?"
"Okay, well, then thank you General Yang!" The county official almost knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times, and then he seemed to be afraid that Yang Liu would regret it, so he found a reason and left the yamen.
Si Juan's heart was a little bad, last time in the Gu Family Fighting Spirit Competition, Si Juan won Yang Liu, which made him lose face.
Intuition told her that Yang Liu's trial of this case was definitely not that simple.
"I have heard some about this case, it was the Si family guards who killed the villagers of Puzhong Village for no reason, is it not?" Yang Liu asked.
"Yes, yes, and my cousin said...... This is all at the behest of Miss Si!" Zhong Sheng hurriedly picked up Gu Pingyin's words and said.
"Then this person's evidence and physical evidence are all there, and the motive for the murder is also known, isn't the case over? Come on, put Si Juan in prison and wait for trial. Yang Liu closed the case with just one or two sentences.
Si Xuan suddenly felt a few black lines appear on her forehead, this Yang Liu is aimed at her, can you not target it so obviously.
"Even death row prisoners still have room for confession, why doesn't General Yang listen to my confession first and then decide the case?" Si Juan said.
Yang Liu knocked on the table and said, "Okay, I'll listen to your quibbles a few more times." β
Si Juan walked to the center of the yamen and looked at the five corpses parked in the courtyard, none of the corpses were covered with white cloths, they were all upper body **, and the wounds from the beating were exposed in front of people's eyes.
Si Juan walked to the corpses, and after briefly examining the five corpses, he got up and said, "These five corpses all have some beating wounds on their bodies, but none of them are fatal injuries. β
"They also had no head trauma, and externally, the injuries were not fatal. Either the death was caused by the rupture of the internal organs during the beating, or there was another cause of death, and I recommend that an autopsy be performed. β
"Of course, you suggested that the autopsy be done, in case you bought it off and insisted that there were other causes of death, wouldn't you get away with the crime!" Zhong Sheng shouted, and the other villagers in Puzhong Village also coaxed to prevent the autopsy.
"The work can be arranged by General Yang, don't you even believe General Yang?" asked Si Juan.
The group of people fell silent instantly, since Si Wan said so, there was no reason for them to quarrel any more and not let the autopsy be conducted.
Yang Liu thought for a while, and said: "What else is there to test this corpse, the evidence is in front of you, that Zhong Sheng's cousin is the person who guards your Si family, could it be that he can still slander you?"
"Even a loved one can betray him, let alone a rebel. Si Juan said, "Why doesn't Miss Yang understand this truth?"
Yang Liu pursed her lips, she leaned on the back of the stool, held the alarm wood, and said slowly: "Don't you just want to delay time, just now my people were caught outside, and your Sifu went to Nanfu to ventilate the person who reported the news." β
Si Qin frowned, when did she send someone to Nanfu to report the news?
Si Juan looked back, and there was a steward standing in the crowd with a worried face, and Si Juan also understood.
