Now, the person sitting in the hall of the county government is the magistrate, but the person who really holds the real power is the master standing next to him.

This master is not an ordinary person, not only well-informed, but also a well-educated person. He is familiar with the Five Classics and Four Books, likes poetry and writing, and has a good understanding of legal principles.

When the magistrate saw that someone had come to complain, he immediately came to his senses and slapped three times in a row. He was just about to speak, when the accompanying master said, "My lord, you can just take a picture." ”

The magistrate glared: "This is the power of Lord Ben, I can shoot a few times if I want, I don't need you to teach me." As he spoke, he snorted again.

The master smiled bitterly, but did not respond, this matter has nothing to do with the overall situation, let him do it, and don't ask again.

The magistrate saw that the officials on both sides were snickering, and shouted: "Presumptuous!

The officials hurriedly admitted their mistakes and stood in an orderly manner.

The magistrate snorted and immediately ordered: "Take the defendant!"

The master couldn't help it when he heard it, and opened his mouth again: "My lord, you should take the plaintiff first, interrogate the case, and then bring the defendant to court." ”

The magistrate was angry: "You are really talkative, Lord Ben just wants to see what the defendant looks like, why dare to violate the king's law, can't you?"

"Ah...... Okay, okay, my lord just commands. Master had no choice, frowned slightly, and shook his head again. It's not a big deal, you can take whoever you want, he won't block it anymore, as long as there is no big mistake, it's up to the magistrate.

This master accepted the entrustment of the county magistrate's father to assist the magistrate in handling affairs, and he must not make mistakes, let alone do things that bend the law and cause great trouble. Who knows, this stupid person is quite assertive, and he has to go his own way.

The magistrate straightened his chest and shouted, "Take the defendant!"

Tempo was brought up. Fan Qingshan also came to the hall with him.

The magistrate looked at them and asked, "Are both of you defendants?"

Fan Qingshan replied: "My lord, my brother is the defendant. ”

The magistrate was very dissatisfied: "What Lord Ben ordered to bring is the defendant, what are you doing here, do you want to be a defendant too?"

Qingshan hurriedly explained: "My brother is a stupid person, he can't understand the adult's question, and the villain has to follow him, so it's good to go back to the adult's question." ”

"It turned out to be a fool, strange, how can a fool still know about the complaint?"

"My lord, it's not that he wants to sue, it's someone else who sues him. ”

The magistrate understood: "Oh, by the way, he is the defendant, and the defendant should be sued by others, there is nothing wrong." Defendant, why should others sue you?"

Fan Qingshan responded: "My lord, my brother did not commit a crime, he was wronged. ”

"I see, don't worry, Lord Ben is in charge of him. Take the plaintiff!"

Guan Tianlin was ushered into the lobby.

The magistrate looked at Guan Tianlin and shouted: "Plaintiff, the defendant is a fool, you still have to sue him, don't you bully people." Did you know that it is sinful to bully fools? ”

Guan Tianlin responded: "My lord, although he is stupid, he is a murderer, insulted my mother, and strangled her to death, I can't help but sue him." ”

"Hey, that's interesting, defendant, do you know how to do such a thing? You're not stupid, I like this kind of thing, my lord, you're as smart as I am." ”

The master frowned, and just as he was about to speak, Fan Qingshan hurriedly pleaded: "My lord,

He is indeed a fool, he doesn't understand this kind of thing at all, how can he do it, I hope the adults will see it. ”

The magistrate glared: "How do you know that he doesn't understand? This is what he did, how can you know?"

"My lord, he is a fool, how can he understand such a thing, it is definitely not his doing. ”

"Nonsense, who doesn't understand this kind of good thing, who doesn't want to? He's not stupid at all, he's as smart as me. You say he's a fool, and that Lord Ben is also a fool?"

The master shook his head, and was about to dissuade him, but Fan Qingshan was so frightened that he hurriedly responded: "No, no, the adult is the parent official of the people, how can he be stupid...... Adults are very intelligent people. ”

"That's right, I'm the magistrate, how can I be a fool. He snorted and glared at Fan Qingshan again, "I won't tell you the truth, before I became an official, some people said that I was a fool, it was all nonsense, can a fool still be an official? ”

The master couldn't hold his breath and said, "My lord, the defendant is a stupid person, but he did this kind of thing, which is a bit strange, and he should be carefully interrogated." ”

The magistrate was reminded, only then did he remember that he was trying the case, and said: "The defendant is right, how can a fool do such a thing." Plaintiff, you are making false accusations, and you are guilty of bullying stupid people, and Lord Ben will sentence you. ”

Guan Tianlin was a little flustered, and hurriedly said: "My lord, this fool has indeed committed the crime of murder, and he has been caught by my cousin, and the villagers have also seen it. This matter is clear, the evidence is conclusive, and I hope that the adults will find out and avenge the villain. ”

Zhixian seemed to have woken up and sighed: "Defendant, it turns out that you were caught when you did this kind of thing, you are really stupid, you have to be sneaky to do this kind of thing, and you can't do it in front of others." It seems that you are really stupid, indeed not as smart as me. I like you very much, but I've been caught, and I can't protect you, so I'd better confess my guilt. ”

Fan Qingshan hurriedly explained: "My lord, he is a fool, he doesn't know about men and women, and he really won't do this kind of thing." He was wronged, please investigate, catch the real culprit, and return my brother's innocence. ”

Zhixian glared: "Did he do such a thing, did you see it?"

Fan Qingshan shook his head, still arguing for Tianbao.

The magistrate snorted: "It's right if you didn't see it, or you would be the defendant." Stop talking nonsense and keep your mouth shut. Defendant, can you plead guilty?"

Tianbao looked at the magistrate and said with a smile: "Confess, confess ......"

Fan Qingshan was anxious and said, "My lord, he doesn't understand, he's talking nonsense." ”

"I think you're talking nonsense, if you dare to disturb the court again, I'm going to beat you. Come on, let the fool draw a charge!"

The master hurriedly stopped: "My lord, this matter is very important, human life is at stake, and it must be investigated in detail, so let's put the defendant in prison for trial first." ”

The magistrate glared at him: "The defendant has already pleaded guilty, what else is there to investigate? You are a master, how can you speak for the defendant." ”

Master sighed: "My lord, there are still some doubts in this case that have not been clarified, and the case cannot be decided prematurely." ”

"Hey, it looks like you're hell-bent on speaking for the accused. Tell me, what are the doubts that haven't been clarified?"

"My lord, I am not speaking for the defendant, but I also have to inspect the scene, find physical evidence, learn more details, in short, the facts of the case need to be further investigated before the verdict can be made. ”

Guan Tianlin said: "My lord, I have physical evidence here, please check it." As he spoke, he took out a silver bracelet and handed it to the servant. "This is what my wife was wearing, and the defendant snatched this bracelet after raping and killing. The villagers have seen this, and they can testify. ”

Tianbao saw the silver bracelet and smiled: "Bracelet, bracelet ......"

The magistrate looked at the silver bracelet and snorted: "There are both human and physical evidence, this case is very clear, the defendant is the murderer." Come and let the defendant draw the charge. As he spoke, he turned his head and glared at his master.

The master shook his head, knowing that he couldn't stop it, and couldn't help but sigh.

Tianbao didn't know what it was for, and thought it was fun to draw, so he wanted to continue painting, but someone took it. He was anxious: "I still have to draw, and I still have to paint...... No one paid attention, he could only watch the paper and pen put on the table of the magistrate.

The magistrate widened his eyes and shouted: "Defendant, you are really a fool, you dare to rape first and then kill in front of others, it is really hateful, put him in prison and be executed after the autumn!"

Fan Qingshan hugged Tianbao and cried loudly, but was kicked out. He didn't have the ability to save his stupid brother, so he had to return in tears.

When Li Zhongxiu learned of this, he was very sad. The husband and wife were very sad, they didn't have the heart to open the clinic again, and they didn't think about tea and dinner for a few days, and the hospital door was not opened.

They wanted to go up and down, but they didn't have any silver taels, so they had to go to the prison from time to time to bring some food to Tianbao and give the jailers some silver, so that they could treat their stupid brother well. The husband and wife are suffering, afraid that the day will come when the knife will be cut.

Speaking of Guan Tianlin, when he saw that the murderer had been sentenced to death and waiting to be beheaded, he finally breathed a sigh of relief. Whenever he remembered Fan Qingshan's painful appearance in the lobby, he felt very guilty.

He sighed silently: "What a good person, there is such a stupid brother who is implicated." Alas, I don't want him to be so miserable, but the revenge of killing his wife can't be stopped. Yu'e, you died so miserably, I can't help but avenge you. Mr. Fan, you are a great benefactor in our village, I am sorry for you......"

Guan Tianlin was entangled in contradictory emotions, and would cry whenever he thought of it, not only for his wife's nostalgia and grief, but also for Fan Qingshan's family.

Diao Xiaoying and her uncle were very sad when they learned of Zhao Yu'e's tragic death. My uncle fell ill from excessive grief. Xiaoying closed the restaurant, sent her uncle home for treatment, and then went to the funeral.

When she came to the villa and learned the details of her cousin's tragic death, she was extremely sad and angry, and she wanted to kill the murderer herself.

Xiaoying saw that her brother-in-law Guan Tianlin was so sad, and comforted while crying: "Brother-in-law, people can't be resurrected after death, and you still have to pay attention to your body." The tiger is still young, and it will depend on you to raise it in the future, and you should focus on your body. ”

"Sister, I'm sorry for your sister, if you hadn't come here, this wouldn't have happened. I'm also sorry for Mr. Fan, who treated the sick and saved people, for making his benefactor suffer so much. ”

"Brother-in-law, the matter has come to this, it is useless to grieve and hate, let's open some. ”

A few days later, Diao Xiaoying was depressed in her heart, and she wanted to take Hu'er for a walk outside the village, digging some wild vegetables by the way, but was caught by the bandits. If Zhang Yunyan hadn't come here, she and Hu'er would have died in Huangquan, and Guan Tianlin would have been in pain.

......

Zhang Yunyan listened to Fan Qingshandi's story, and was suspicious in her heart, Silly Tianbao was so benevolent and righteous, he would never believe that he would do anything to kill people.
