In the lobby of the county government office, Magistrate Chu slapped the hall angrily and looked at the two people in the hall with cold eyes, one was Wei Qiang and the other was Su Tang'er.
Outside the gate of the county government, ordinary people gathered, including His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Grand Administrator. They were all here, but they were outside the crowd.
The news of the Lord Prefect being an eyewitness to the entire case had already spread out a long time ago and all the people knew about it, but as the magistrate of Chu County, he pretended not to know.
Above the county government hall.
The Chu County magistrate looked at Su Tanger and Wei Qiang with a deep look, and said word by word:
"Wei Qiang, Su Tang'er! Seven days ago, Wei Qiang beat the drum and complained about Su Tang'er's murder of Wei Kun. Now the truth has been found out, and the matter has come to light! The night when Su Tang'er and Wei Kun got married half a year ago , during the wedding night, Su Tanger was dissatisfied with the marriage, so she killed Wei Kun with a dagger in anger! The evidence was conclusive and the witnesses were also there, so the county pronounced Su Tanger guilty of murder and sentenced Qiu Hou Ask and kill!! Wei Qiang’s defilement of a common woman is truly abominable, and Ling Chi is sentenced to death! It will be executed immediately!”
Su Tanger: "..."
Wei Qiang: "..."
The first sentence of the Chu County magistrate after he ascended to court directly convicted them.
"Lord Magistrate, you actually sentenced me to death in Lingchi, and you want to execute it now. What do you mean? I did something wrong, and you actually want to execute me in Lingchi. Don't forget how my eldest brother died! "
"Wei Qiang, you deserve to die! If you keep talking nonsense, I will take you down to Lingchi immediately!"
"Okay, just die! Do you think I'm afraid of you! Hehehehe, Magistrate Chu, you have no ability and only use your power to suppress others. You are not as good as An Youchun! Tsk tsk, if it weren't for An Youchun, your county The position of command has long been gone!"
"Someone, slap me!"
The magistrate of Chu County was extremely angry.
Well…
No one dares to touch this.
Maybe everyone also thinks that Magistrate Chu went too far.
How can a case be closed and someone directly convicted without a good trial
It was just that the case was not properly investigated last time, but this time, after everyone waited for several days, something like this happened, which was indeed too much.
Su Tanger looked at County Magistrate Chu speechlessly, and said slowly: "Your Excellency, the so-called evidence is conclusive and the witnesses are also there. Can you let the evidence be presented to the court and the witnesses also come to the court? Even if you let When I, Su Tang'er, die, I must die clearly and clearly! If the county magistrate is just a one-sided statement, I'm afraid I won't be able to convince the public!"
"Insolent! This is the county government hall. I am the county magistrate of Linshan County. What I say is the king's law. I can judge whatever I want! If you are not convinced, then go to hell to complain to the king of hell! This county The order will not let you continue to appeal! Well, withdraw!"
Magistrate Chu patted the gavel again, got up and left!
However-
At this time, the gate of the county government office shouted loudly, "The imperial envoy has arrived!"
Imperial Envoy, which Imperial Envoy is here at this time
Su Tanger turned around and saw several people standing at the door of the county government office, including His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Xiao Jingrui and the Grand Administrator, another witness to the Wei Kun case.
There is also a mighty and majestic general. This general should be General Xuanyuan, right? After all, she hadn’t seen it before, so she didn’t dare to confirm it!
The other one was wearing a prince's uniform, with a cold face, and looked like he should keep away from strangers. But for some reason, when Su Tanger saw this person's appearance, she felt a sense of intimacy, and even put a smile on that person's face. I saw a hint of forbearance and excitement.
The Imperial Envoy, the Magistrate of Chu County, was frightened by these five words. He immediately rolled out of the lobby and knelt on the ground, "Linshan County Magistrate Chu Ran has seen the Imperial Envoy, a thousand years old, a thousand years old, a thousand years old!"
"Come here, arrest Chu Ran, the magistrate of Linshan County, and send him to prison!" The seventh prince ordered directly!
Immediately, several people came up and tied Magistrate Chu to Wuhuada.
"Sir, this is unjust, why do you want to put me in jail! Please have mercy!"
The Chu County magistrate shouted that he was wronged, his voice was very loud and harsh!
"Chu Ran, you arbitrarily judge the case without investigating the case and want to punish innocent people to death. How do you think this king should punish you! Chu Ran, haven't you forgotten all the laws of the Zhou Dynasty? Can't you remember them? Is it clear?! Chu Ran, you can avoid the death penalty for murdering a relative of the emperor, but you cannot escape the crime of living! In addition, since you took up the post of Linshan County Magistrate, there have been countless unjust cases in Linshan County, and there have been complaints and people are living in dire straits! You have committed You are guilty of dereliction of duty! No matter how many bad things you have done during this period, and how much money you have embezzled from the people, Chu Ran, I want to kill you because I think it is easy for you! Someone, take off the crown of the Chu County Magistrate Wu Sha Mao, put him in jail and wait for his punishment!"
The Seventh Prince was very angry. If it was just because of His Highness the Crown Prince's affairs, he would not be so angry. His Highness the Crown Prince was not favored by the Emperor in the first place, so even if he died, it would not matter much.
But his daughter left them when she was a child, left the Seventh Prince's Mansion, and came to this place where the people had no life and the birds had nothing to do!
How much suffering, how much torture, how much scorn and contempt have I endured over the years. So many years have passed, and my daughter is not as bad as before. Anyone who raised their daughter to be like that should all die, and this county magistrate is indeed not a toy.
Before he came to Linshan County, he inquired about the situation in Linshan County carefully and learned that what County Magistrate Chu did in Linshan County was excessive and disappointing. He was not worthy of the money on his head. What a black gauze hat!
Chu Ran knew that this time he had kicked the iron bricks. These people were not something he, a small county magistrate, could handle. And he was very unwilling, so he kept begging for mercy, saying that he was very unjust and had done nothing. He was a good official who cared about the country and the people.
However, the Seventh Prince ignored him and had people drag him down and keep him under strict supervision!
This case was not over yet, it was already hidden, so the Seventh Prince sat directly on it and began to interrogate the case.
This time not only Wei Qiang and Su Tanger felt relieved, but even the people outside the county government gate felt relieved. County Magistrate Chu should have gotten out long ago, but ordinary people like them have no power or power. With such power, there is no way to fight against a county magistrate, so there is no way to be bullied by the county magistrate for so many years.
Now God has finally opened his eyes, and the people will no longer be oppressed by the Chu County Magistrate!
Everyone was relieved and very happy, so they looked at everyone in the lobby with great admiration.
In the county government hall, the Seventh Prince was sitting, and the Grand Administrator and the Crown Prince were standing on both sides of the county government hall.
"Who are you, please tell me your name!" The seventh prince spoke very gently, much better than before.
