"Might... Wu..."
Tang Wei shouted unevenly, and the slaves standing in the hall were much less energetic than the arresters. On weekdays, they are rarely promoted, and everyone is used to laxity, and before going to court today, they heard that the person who was arrested was Uncle Qi Muqi's, and everyone was even less hopeful about the outcome of the trial, so they were not interested.
Standing behind the screen, Hua Zhixian was not annoyed when he heard such prestige. When he first arrived in Huxian three years ago, he had to rectify for a while. Later, when he realized the reality of power falling to the sidelines, he became disheartened. , he doesn't care about these small places anymore.
Hua Zhixian straightened his clothes, walked out from behind the screen, boldly walked to the picture of the blue sea and red sun, picked up the gavel and clapped it, and said in a loud voice: "Who is beating the drum to complain, let's talk in the hall!"
Immediately someone went down and brought the whole family of the Guo family into the hall, Ye Xiaotian is the canonist, and now the elder is asking questions, but there is no place for him in the hall, so he just waited outside. The members of the Guo family, young and old, went up to the lobby, knelt down and kowtowed, saying: "The grassroots see the elder."
Sitting behind the official case, Hua Zhi County raised his voice and asked, "Why are you beating the drums and what are you complaining about? Come to the official one by one."
Guo Lifeng's old father shed tears before saying a word, choked up and said: "Master Qingtian, the grass people are wronged..."
With tears in his eyes, the old man narrated the process of his son's beating to death from beginning to end. Hua Zhixian frowned and said: "It is a heinous crime to kill people in broad daylight. But now it's just your one side's words, what is the truth?" , is still under investigation. Come on, bring the suspect Xu Lin!"
The voice came out of the lobby, Ye Xiaotian waved his hand, Ma Hui and Xu Haoran pushed Xu Lin, and shouted: "Let's go!"
The blood on Xu Lin's head and face had formed scabs at this moment, he stared at Ye Xiaotian with a grinning grin, and walked towards the hall. A policeman next to him hesitated for a moment, leaned closer to Ye Xiaotian, and said in a low voice: "Master Dianshi, do you think our Elder Master can do justice?"
Ye Xiaotian said: "The facts of this case are clear, and the Elder will know as soon as he asks. The witnesses and the dead body are all there, so there is no need to investigate further. Even if the Elder wants to cover things that are as hard as a mountain, how can the Elder pervert the law?"
The policeman was silent for a while, and then said in a low voice: "Judging from Master Dianshi's accent, you must have stayed in the capital for a long time?"
Ye Xiaotian said: "That's right, so what?"
The catcher murmured and sighed, "That's no wonder, the emperor's feet are different after all."
Ye Xiaotian looked at him suspiciously.
Besides, in the hall, Hua Qingzhi carefully questioned the confessions of both the accuser and the defense, and asked Wu Zuo to bring up the body for examination in the hall, and then sent witnesses to question them one by one. Some of those witnesses spoke truthfully, and some were afraid Lin, then reasoned that he had never seen it, and Hua Qingfeng practiced Taijiquan accordingly, pushing left hand, right hand, pushing back and forth, and was about to announce that the suspect was temporarily detained for retrial later, when suddenly a person walked in outside.
Ye Xiaotian was waiting for the result of the trial in the hall, and Huazhi County was practicing Taijiquan in the hall. This push hands took too long. Ye Xiaotian waited for a long time and did not see the result of the trial, so he got up to go. Not long after he left, he A person broke into the county government office shouting and hugging.
The arresters, slaves, and subordinates who were hearing the trial in the hall suddenly became agitated, and someone whispered: "It's Uncle Qi, he just arrested one of his subordinates, and he came in person!"
"This is a good show, where is Ai Dianshi?"
"I don't know, maybe I slipped away when I saw the opportunity?"
Qi Mu, in his early forties, tall and tall, with long eyebrows slanted into his temples, with a nose like a gall, and a big mouth, looks dignified. If it is not someone who knows his notoriety, no one can imagine such a person as a Bandits who do all kinds of evil.
Qi Mu walked into the county government office as if no one was there, and the servants and subordinates he met along the way changed their colors and retreated. When he came to the entrance of the lobby, Qi Mu laughed and said loudly: "You are waiting here!" up the lobby.
In the lobby, the plaintiff was kneeling, the defendant was kneeling to the right, and there was another dead body on the long board beside him. Hua Qingfeng picked up the gavel and was about to make a sentence of imprisonment for investigation when he suddenly saw a tall man carrying a dead body on his back. Hands, straight in, can't help but be shocked.
"Click!"
The gavel in Hua Qingfeng's hand fell, he stood up in a daze, and retreated to the side of the case in a daze, wanting to align with the wooden arch, but felt that in the court, it was inappropriate for him to act like a county official, So I froze there and lost ground.
Qi Mu walked boldly between the plaintiff and the defendant, seeing the servants standing on both sides with sticks like air, Xu Lin noticed that the atmosphere in the lobby was suddenly strange, he hurriedly looked back, couldn't help being overjoyed, hurriedly took two steps, knelt down and kowtowed: "I have seen Uncle Qi!"
Qi Mu stood up, looked at him, and asked lightly: "Are you Xu Lin?"
Xu Lin nodded hastily, and said overjoyedly: "Yes, yes, the young one is Xu Lin. I didn't expect you, the old man, to know the humble name of the young one."
Qi Mu snorted coldly, and said: "My people are actually going to court, what a disgrace! Get the hell out of here!"
Xu Lin hurriedly said: "Yes yes yes! The little one is incompetent, the little one has shamed you, Uncle Qi, the little one deserves to be damned!" Xu Lin twitched his mouth as he spoke. It could be heard throughout the courtroom.
Seeing that Qi Mu came unexpectedly, the young and old of the Guo family were a little scared, they huddled together and did not dare to make a sound, Qi Mu went all the way to the front of the county magistrate's case, and then stopped, looking at Hua Qingfeng calmly.
Hua Zhixian forced a smile, and said embarrassingly: "Qi...Mr. Qi..."
Qi Mu said: "Master of the County!"
Hua Qingfeng bowed down flattered and said, "Don't dare to be, don't dare to be."
Qi Mu let out a cold snort, slowly turned around the public case, stood behind the public case, under the blue sea and red sun map, looked around the entire courtroom, and suddenly yelled loudly at Hua Qingfeng, who had an ugly face: "Your surname is Hua! Damn, let me figure out who owns this Hu County! Huh?"
The saliva sprayed Hua Qingfeng's face, and Hua Zhixian's face turned red and white, and he stood there with his neck curled up, not daring to answer. Qi Mu suddenly reached out, grabbed his neck, and stood on tiptoe: "You shitty magistrate, you can be the one who I let you be! I won't let you be, but a word can make you do it!" Get out, you dare to interrogate my people, huh?"
Hua Qingfeng's face turned into a pig liver color, and said weakly: "Mr. Qi calm down, please calm down, you...you listen to my explanation..."
"Listen to your explanation, shit!"
As soon as Qi Mu let go, Hua Qingfeng stepped back three steps.
Qi Mu sat down proudly on the chair where the county magistrate asked the case, put his legs on the case, and looked lazy, as if it was another person who yelled loudly just now: "Qi just came back from another county , I just entered the city and heard that my people were arrested and brought to you, Huazhi County, you are really promising! It’s done! You can go to trial, as Qi is a gentry in this county, it’s okay to sit in... right? "
Hua Qingfeng's face was pale, and he said embarrassingly, "Mr. Qi!"
Qi Mu glanced at him, and said, "Why, no interrogation?"
Hua Qingfeng felt relieved, and hurriedly said: "No more trials, no more trials."
Qi Mu twitched his legs, stood up from behind the case, and slowly walked to the Guo family, showing a palpitating smile: "I heard... someone died in your family?"
The Guo family trembled and didn't know how to answer. They didn't expect that the legendary Uncle Qi would stand up for such a ruffian as Xu Lin. They only heard that Uncle Qi covered the sky with his hands, but they didn't expect him to be so arrogant. , Now that they finally saw it with their own eyes, the whole family was scared out of their wits.
Qi Mu looked at the huddled family and sighed softly. The old man Guo's face was full of sweat and tears, and he hugged his little grandson tightly, trembling like a leaf falling in the wind, and he didn't dare to speak at all.
Qi Mu took out a piece of pure white silk handkerchief from his sleeve, stretched it out lightly, the old man Guo shook his body, did not dare to hide, Qi Mu wiped the old man Guo's face like wiping his tears and nose for a child With sweat and tears, he asked softly, "Old man, how did your son die?"
The old man Guo looked at Qi Muxiao's slightly cold eyes, and he didn't have the courage to say the words when he reached his mouth. He swallowed hard, and replied with a good heart: "Sick... died of illness, he died of illness..."
After the old man Guo finished speaking, he glanced at his son's body and saw the swollen, purple, and bruised face. He couldn't help feeling sad, fell on the ground, and burst into tears. Qi Mu sighed again, and quietly said: "It's heartbreaking for a white-haired person to send a black-haired person!"
He looked at the old man Guo's little grandson, and comforted the old man Guo: "The son is dead, but the grandson is still there, go back and raise the grandson well. It's wrong to blackmail people. But seeing how pitiful your family is, I'm soft-hearted, so I won't pursue it. Do you think it's okay?"
"well… "
The old man Guo burst into tears and snot. Hearing Qi Mu's threatening words, he hugged his ignorant grandson nervously, and never dared to let go, but kept saying yes. At this moment Xu Lin walked over triumphantly, and said with a sneer, "Uncle Qi is so magnanimous, why don't you kowtow to thank you?"
The old man Guo bit his lips tightly, tears running down his face, until the lips were bitten with blood, he let go of his little grandson, lay down in front of Qi Mu, and smacked his head: "Thank you, Uncle Qi, for your generosity, Thank you, Uncle Qi, thank you..."
Qi Mu waved his hand and said kindly: "Go, go, no thanks." Qi Mu watched Guo's family lift up the body, retreated in a panic, turned around and walked to the public case, and said to Hua Zhixian: "The county Grandpa, do you think I can handle it like this?"
Hua Qingfeng's head was covered with cold sweat, and he said repeatedly: "Okay... okay..."
Qi Mu suddenly grabbed the gavel and slapped it hard, roaring: "Since it's good, why don't you back down?"
Hua Qingfeng trembled in fright, and couldn't help taking two steps back, Qi Mu glanced at the dumbfounded slaves on both sides, and threw the gavel out: "Retreat!"
The two rows of yamen servants turned pale with fright, and retreated in a panic. At this moment, a person stood at the entrance of the lobby. He was a little thin, but his voice was unusually powerful: "You can't leave the hall!"
