Chapter 287: Wind Crossing the Valley
The little witch didn't dwell on this question, but asked another question: "What day was the document signed?"
Hong Qi thought for a while and said, "It was signed on the tenth day of the first lunar month." ”
The little witch asked in surprise: "Then how can Lin Dashan say that he signed it on the ninth day of the first month?"
Hong Qi was taken aback, and immediately changed his words: "That's because I remembered wrongly, it was signed on the ninth day of the first month!"
The little witch asked, "Where did you sign it?"
Hong Qi completely collapsed this time, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "I won the lottery at Lin Dashan's house." ”
The little witch was happy and said, "Why did I hear Lin Dashan say that he signed it in the gambling house?"
Hong Qi was speechless, and as soon as the little witch waved her hand, the little bell came to Hong Qi with the red wolf.
Looking at the red wolf's huge head and sharp eyes, Hong Qi almost urinated out, and he screamed like a pig, "Little ancestor, don't let it bite me, I'll tell you the truth, I'll tell you all." ”
The little witch waved her hand again, and the little bell stopped in the middle with the red wolf, and the little witch said: "Say, if there is another lie, let it swallow you alive!"
At this time, Hong Qi had no choice but to tell the truth as it was, just two days ago, Lin Dashan found him, gave him a thousand taels of silver tickets, and asked him to sign a mortgage document, he knew that the document was fake, but for the sake of this thousand taels of silver, he made a false testimony against his will! He also said that he had never seen the shopkeeper Song in the casino.
The little witch also asked him to sign on top of the confession, and then ordered someone to escort Lin Dashan to the lobby.
There was not much time, and Lin Dashan knelt in front of the hall again.
The little witch sent someone to bring the confession to Lin Dashan and let him look at it, at this time, Lin Dashan knew that he was powerless to return to the sky, so he could only lower his round head.
Seeing that he was powerless to refute, the little witch said to the county magistrate who had been kneeling in front of the hall for a long time: "It's your turn this time, how much bribes have you taken in this case?"
The county magistrate saw that it was not possible to deny it, so he confessed: "5,000 taels of silver, and 20% of the Lin family's business." ”
Seeing that all the criminals had confessed, the little witch concluded that the result was as follows, Lin Dashan maliciously injured people to death in order to seek real estate, and planned to be imprisoned, and asked to be beheaded after waiting for the government's approval. The county magistrate bent the law for personal gain, embezzled and accepted bribes, and planned to be imprisoned, and then dealt with when the next office came. In this case, Song Li was deeply affected, lost his husband and lost his wife, and the Lin family paid 10,000 taels of silver to compensate for his loss. Doctor Wang Shenyi could not adhere to medical ethics, and was punished for not practicing medicine for three years, and accepted bribes of 100 taels of silver confiscated, and Hong Qi committed perjury, and was given a rod of 50 and 1,000 taels of silver confiscated in court.
As soon as the verdict came out, the hall applauded, especially the people at the entrance of the hall applauded. Some even shouted: "Female Qingtian!"
Next, the prison was taken in, and the execution was executed, and Song Li knelt in front of the little witch, expressing indescribable gratitude.
The little witch helped her up and persuaded her to go home and live well with the child, and Song Li went home with great gratitude.
The little witch said to the master: "I don't know if you are in the same stream, let you go for the time being, but before the new county official takes office, you have to take care of all the county affairs here!"
How dare the knife-like master be lazy, he hurriedly bowed down and said: "The villain is an insignificant little person, it can't be a big traitor, I will definitely do what the woman says." ”
The little witch called the head catcher to her again, reprimanded her, and the head catcher nodded and admitted her mistake, and the little witch warned him to maintain law and order, take care of the prisoners in prison, and ensure that there will be no deviation before the new official takes office!
The head catcher also nodded again and again, indicating that he would do his best to ensure order in the county.
These arrangements were completed, and at this time, Mo Xiaodao had already written a letter to King Shou after the public case, he called the head catcher, and ordered: "Send someone to send this letter to Kyoto and hand it over to King Shou, and he will naturally send a new county official." ”
The head catcher handed the letter to a capable man and rode to Kyoto on a fast horse.
The little witch looked at Mo Xiaodao and said, "Senior brother, we should also be on the road!"
Mo Xiaodao saw that the little witch had already taken care of the affairs here, so he said with confidence: "Go on the road!"
At this time, there was still a large crowd of people at the entrance of the hall, and they all wanted to take a closer look at this female Qingtian who was like a god in solving cases.
Geng Jingzhong and Butterfly opened the way in front, the little witch followed closely in the middle, Mo Xiaodao and Little Bell followed last, and the group passed through the human wall and came to the carriage outside the lobby, and each got on their horses, and the little bell and the red wolf beaver still sat in the car.
A group of four people waved goodbye to the people, and galloped south under the reluctant gaze of everyone.
Soon out of the county seat, the group slowed down, and immediately Mo Xiaodao said to the little witch: "No wonder Master likes you so much, you really have something outstanding, there is no precedent for a woman to be an official in the Daxin Dynasty, or this Dali Temple is a position, but it has to be you!"
The little witch was happy: "Senior brother, I think you want to reward me with a good one? But it's only a small Dali Temple, then I don't do it, I'll still be the master of my happy door!"
Mo Xiaodao knew that his junior sister was joking, and he laughed silently.
The horses and vehicles marched quickly on the straight official road, and the weeping willows and poplars on both sides retreated sharply behind, except for the wild geese returning from the sky to the south.
When the sun set, they came to Fenglingdu.
Fenglingdu is not far from Texas, a transportation hub with an Aeon River stretching east and west, and above the river is a wooden bridge with a narrow deck for only two cars to cross in parallel.
Geng Jingzhong and the others came to Fenglingdu, and the carriage creaked up to the wooden bridge.
Geng Jingzhong rode a horse in front of the carriage, the little witch and Mo Xiaodao parallel to the carriage, and the butterfly followed behind the carriage.
This wooden bridge is about 100 meters long, because of the age, some of the wooden planks on the bridge have been damaged, and after the horse's hooves step on it, some of them make a sound like they are about to break, which is really terrifying.
Geng Jingzhong quickened the pace of the horse while telling everyone to be careful.
When the group was about to reach the middle of the bridge, an oxcart full of straw suddenly came in front of them, and the straw on the ox cart had withered and yellowed. The driver was a middle-aged man wearing a hat.
The ox cart was getting closer and closer, and Geng Jingzhong was worried about how to pass the cart smoothly. Suddenly, I found that the driver on the ox cart was getting closer and closer, suddenly jumped off the ox cart, took out a fire from his arms, lit it, and then flashed it on the side, and after the ox cart passed, he threw the fire in his hand to the straw on the car, I don't know what was put in the straw, and all of a sudden, the ox cart was on fire, rushing towards everyone.
Geng Jingzhong shouted: "Quickly retreat!"
But it was too late, and there was also a burning ox cart running towards them!
