Chapter 007: Confused County Officials (1)

Seven or eight people died in one night, so naturally there was going to be a disturbance.

On the second day, the yamen sent a large number of officials to search for suspects throughout the city, and went door-to-door.

Whether it's a routine or a show, in short, it makes people panic and uneasy. The streets and alleys were in an uproar, and everyone watched, careful to avoid trouble.

When the official searched the inn, Bai Luoshang was getting dressed in the room.

The door was knocked open, and Bai Luoshang stared at the official who broke in with some surprise, and said, "Several officials are really busy early in the morning. ”

The official didn't pay attention to it, and went through the room vigorously, and finally found nothing, and left the door one after another without saying a word.

Bai Luoshang touched his neck, but fortunately his fake skin did not fall off.

Carefully gluing the wrinkled mask, Bai Luoshang went out with a fan, and was stopped by someone as soon as he walked to the door. Take a closer look, this person is the person who brought the official into Yusheng Tower last night to investigate the case.

Half a step back, Bai Luoshang saluted, and asked, "Is there anything wrong with the official?"

The official in front of him looked different from the others, his eyes were sharp, his appearance was tough and burly, and he should be the head catcher of the yamen.

The official looked at Bai Luoshang and asked, "Where were you last night?"

Bai Luoshang thought that since this person could block here, he probably recognized him, so he no longer concealed it, and generously admitted: "Yusheng Building." ”

The official almost nodded, and asked again, "You are the one who jumped out of the window?"

"Yes. Bai Luoshang secretly admired this person's excellent eyesight, and yesterday there was chaos in the building, and this person actually noticed him.

The official gestured to the people on the left and right, and ordered, "Take it away." ”

After a pause, he said to Bai Luosheng: "Routine, please forgive me for being rude, please." ”

For such politeness, Bai Luoshang chose to smile. After thinking about it, he obediently followed them to the yamen.

He had never seen an errand boy so polite when he was arresting a suspect, and he couldn't help but look at the official again curiously.

Since he is a suspect, he naturally has to be sent to court.

Bai Luoshang was escorted into the public hall by the left and right officials, and the officials of the county government all howled loudly in a calm voice: "Ascend to the court!"

The tail shouted long and loud, shaking Bai Luoshang and wanting to cover his ears.

He had never seen a court court so loud.

A young man in an official uniform walked out, sat down, and slapped the public case with a startled tree.

There was a person beside him, who should be the county master.

Bai Luoshang looked at the county official fixedly, and the county official also stared at him fixedly.

The county magistrate stared at him for a while, then suddenly turned to look at the official who was escorted into the court with Bai Luo's clothes, and said, "Escort Li, this official has been promoted to the court, why don't you clean up the court first?"

Then he stretched out a finger, swiped it on the public case, frowned, and said, "Look, it's all dust." ”

Bai Luoshang was stunned, it turned out that the most special thing about this yamen was not the guard with a knife, nor the official in this room, but the county official sitting in the public court.

Li Yuanzheng coughed and said, "Lord Hui, after the trial of the case, the subordinates will clean up the court." ”

The county magistrate nodded, then glared at Bai Luoshang under the hall, and said in a light tone: "People under the hall, why don't you hand over the certificate first?"

Bai Luoshang was stunned, and before he could say anything, Li Yuanzheng had already preemptively said, "My lord, he is the defendant." ”

The county magistrate nodded again: "Since you are the defendant, where is the plaintiff? Why is no one beating the drum to voice grievances?"

Li Yuanzheng's face was waveless, and he said lightly: "This is a public prosecution case, and there is no need to beat the drum to voice grievances." ”

The county official looked at Li Yuanzheng and said, "Is there a complaint?"

Li Yuanzheng shook his head: "In an emergency, it's too late to write a complaint." ”

The county magistrate was unhappy: "If there is no complaint, there will be no money, and you still let the official quickly rise to the court to ask the case, wouldn't you have to work in vain?"

Li Yuanzheng's face changed slightly, and he gritted his teeth and said, "The adults will judge the case first, and the subordinates will make up for it later." ”

After hearing this, the county magistrate was slightly satisfied, and said, "Okay, you can draft a pleadings and submit them to the magistrate later, and pay the legal fees." ”

After speaking, he dressed up, sat upright, stared at Bai Luoshang solemnly, and raised the startled wood again, "Bold." ”

"My lord......" Bai Luoshang was interrupted as soon as she spoke.

The county magistrate said sharply: "The prisoner still does not kneel. ”

Bai Luoshang was stunned, but still knelt down according to his words, and the wine gourd hanging from his waist was swaying and glowing.

The magistrate asked, "What is the name of the person who kneels?"

Bai Luosheng's eyes rolled and replied, "Zhang San." ”

The county magistrate knocked on the wood again and scolded stiffly: "Bold." ”

Bai Luoshang thought about it again and replied, "Li Si." ”

The county magistrate was not annoyed, but just threw a signed token and said, "Come on, beat him with thirty boards." ”

As he spoke, a servant leaned over with a killing stick.

Bai Luoshang frowned and asked, "May I ask my lord, what crime did the grass people commit?"

The magistrate replied: "Contempt of the court"

Bai Luoshang coughed: "My lord, the grass people's name is He Bushen." ”

The county magistrate looked at Bai Luoshang strangely, and then asked Li Yuanzheng: "Why do you want to prosecute a drunkard?"

Li Yuanzheng glanced at Bai Luoshang and replied: "Since he is not drunk, it means that he is still sober, and the adults only need to judge him." ”

The county magistrate nodded again and asked Bai Luosheng: "The one who kneels, quickly recruit the reason for your misdeeds." ”

Bai Luoshang was speechless: "My lord, the grass people don't know what they have done. ”

The county magistrate knocked on the wood again and said, "Come on, beat him with sixty boards." ”

Bai Luoshang was full of black gas: "May I ask my lord, what crime did the grass people commit?"

The county magistrate replied: "There is no king's law"

Li Yuanzheng couldn't stand it anymore, took a step forward, and said, "My lord, you should ask him if he is an accomplice to the murderer, what is the purpose of the murder, who is the mastermind of the murder, whether there are other accomplices, and where the main culprit is." ”

The county magistrate glanced at him and said unhappily: "This official is trying the case, what are you talking about." ”

Li Yuanzheng glanced at the county official in a complicated manner, then closed his mouth very knowingly and took a step back.

The county magistrate stared at Bai Luoshang and asked, "Are you drunk, but the official asks you, are you an accomplice to the main culprit in the Yushenglou murder case? What is the purpose of the murder? Who is the mastermind? Are there any other accomplices? Where is the main culprit?"

Bai Luoshang knelt on the ground and shouted with a half-truth: "My lord is clear, and the grass people are wronged." ”

The county magistrate pointed to Bai Luoshang's nose and scolded in a stiff tone: "Full of nonsense, if you are wronged, will Guard Li take you back for interrogation?"

Bai Luoshang muttered: "It is also possible to take the wrong trial." ”

The county magistrate didn't hear clearly, and asked again: "What did you say?"

Bai Luoshang hung his head and raised his voice: "Back to my lord, the grass people are really wronged. ”

The master was next to the county official and said softly, "My lord, you have to pass the witness first." ”

Only then did the county magistrate look at the gate of the county office, and only after a while did he shout: "Witness." ”

The master also called: "Witnesses." ”

Li Yuanzheng even shouted: "Spread the old bustard of Yusheng Building." ”

The county magistrate glared at him in surprise, slapped the table and scolded: "Bold, this official is being promoted to the director of the hall, what are you calling her in for?"

Li Yuanzheng saluted in the hall and said indifferently: "Back to my lord, she is a witness." ”

Suddenly, the plump old bustard was brought into the court, and was about to kneel, but was stopped by the county official.

"You, get out. The county magistrate said with a straight look.

The old bustard was stunned, full of doubts, and glanced at Li Yuanzheng inexplicably.

The county magistrate said, "You go out, beat the drum and sound the grievances, and I will pass you on before you can come in." ”

The bustard's eyes widened.

The county magistrate said again: "Don't go out yet." ”

The old bustard turned around three times in one step, walked to the door of the county office, and laboriously beat the drum twice.

The county official said: "Take the plaintiff." ”

The old bustard entered the court again and knelt down.

The county magistrate asked: "Plaintiff, why did you go to court, and who are you going to sue?"

The old bustard frowned and said, "Lord Hui, the woman is a witness, not a plaintiff. ”

"Beat the drum and complain, you are the plaintiff. The county magistrate couldn't say anything, stared at him, and said solemnly: "Kneeling woman, why are you crying out for injustice?"

The old bustard pondered for a while, and said, "Because six men died in the women's building yesterday, I came to report it today." ”

When the county magistrate heard this, he was shocked: "This official asked you, why didn't you come to redress your grievances yesterday when someone died in your shop yesterday? Why did you wait until today to report the case?"

When the officials on both sides heard this, they burst into laughter. Even Bai Luoshang couldn't help but laugh, but he didn't laugh because he had already noticed the county official's face.

When the county magistrate saw that the official was smiling, he slapped the shocked wood again, and scolded: "Shut up, you bastards! What are you laughing at? Could it be that the murderer is among you? Do you want the official to be punished?"

The official was also very knowledgeable, and when he heard this, he immediately shut up.

The county magistrate turned to the bustard again and said, "The lady is not quick to answer." ”

Bai Luoshang couldn't help but laugh when he saw that this county official was talking like a fool.

Is this man really stupid? Or is he fake?

The old bustard lowered his head and said, "I reported to the official yesterday, and it was the case that Li Huwei received." ”

"Good. The county magistrate pointed to Bai Luoshang again and asked the old bustard, "Do you recognize this person?"

The old bustard glanced at Bai Luoshang, only to think that this son was really good-looking, and couldn't help but look at it a few more times before replying: "I recognize, this son was also at the scene yesterday." ”

"Good. The county magistrate waved his hand, "You can go down, remember to pay the jun gold later." ”

The old bustard's face darkened, gritted his teeth, and withdrew from the court.

Li Yuanzheng reminded again: "My lord, she is a witness." ”

"The testimony has been taken. The county magistrate glanced at Li Yuanzheng, but saw Bai Luoshang kneeling on the ground with a smile that seemed to be smiling, and knocked on the startled wood again, and asked: "Are you drunk, if you confess your guilt in court today, the official will pardon you." ”

Bai Luoshang restrained his expression and said strangely: "If the villain confesses, why should the adult pardon me?"

The county magistrate groaned: "So you are not stupid. ”

"......" Bai Luoshang turned his head to look at Li Yuanzheng who was holding the knife, his face was full of doubts, and he hesitated for a moment before saying, "I don't know if this case is a public prosecution or a private prosecution?"

Li Yuanzheng glanced at the county official and replied: "Naturally, they are two lawsuits. ”
