The yamen servant's face panicked, and he dared to say that the woman was lying.
"Sun Qiang, you ruined my family. Even if you turn into ashes, I will recognize you." The woman rushed over and slapped the yamen servant Sun Qiang vigorously, wishing to beat him to death.
Sun Qiang pushed back, pushing the woman to the ground, Liu Zhimo frowned, and slapped the gavel forcefully, "Stop!" He winked at the guard and asked him to help the woman up.
The guard nodded, strode up to the woman, stretched out his hand to help the woman up, and asked if she was injured
The woman shook her head and said no.
"You don't have to worry, adults will make decisions for you."
After hearing this, the woman knelt down again with a plop, and kowtowed to Liu Zhimo.
All her hopes are on the county magistrate, and she hopes that this county magistrate will not be like the stupid official before, who wronged people at will.
Liu Zhimo glanced at the woman with a heavy heart, then turned to Ma Xiancheng, asking him to take out the previous file.
When he was sorting out the file, he saw this case, but the file found the reporter guilty and was imprisoned for half a month.
Ma Xiancheng responded and took out the file, Liu Zhimo spread it out, and read it again carefully.
"Old man, is your daughter Tang Jiao? Is your husband Tang Shan?"
"Yes, my lord, the woman's name is Huang Jingjing, yes..." The woman told her family situation again, and what happened back then, and after she finished speaking, she knelt down and kowtowed heavily to Liu Zhimo , "My lord, you must be the master of the women, as the spirit of the women's daughters and the children's fathers in heaven."
"Don't worry, I will definitely not let the guilty go unpunished."
"Thank you, my lord."
The unjust case three years ago was overturned by Liu Zhimo at this moment.
The yamen servant named Sun Qiang grabbed his robe vigorously to control the trembling in his heart.
You must be steady and steady, the matter has passed for so long, and it will not be found out.
Sun Qiang kept comforting himself in his heart to calm himself down.
Liu Zhimo was not in a hurry, and asked the guards to investigate around the woman's house and bring back more witnesses.
If he doesn't make a move, that's all. If he makes a move, Sun Qiang will be unable to stand up.
He will never tolerate such a bad thing.
"Give a seat to the old man." Thinking that the investigation would take some time, Liu Zhimo couldn't bear to look at an elderly man kneeling in front of him.
The woman waved her hands again and again, saying no, no, no.
How could she let the county magistrate treat her like this
She couldn't help wiping the tears from the corners of her eyes. This county magistrate is a good man, not the stupid official who murdered for money.
Seeing that the woman really refused to sit, Liu Zhimo had no choice but to let her stand instead of kneeling.
The woman hesitated for a while, and after thanking Liu Zhimo, she stood aside with her back hunched.
Liu Zhimo looked at the people standing in the courtroom, and said loudly, no matter who has been wronged, no matter how many years the case has been, they can come to overturn the case, and he will definitely investigate clearly and make the innocent person innocent.
As soon as these words came out, the common people knelt down one after another, shouting loudly, Your Excellency is wise.
Some people who had been wronged wiped their tears one after another. God finally opened his eyes and sent a county magistrate who was considerate of the people to Ninghua County.
Liu Zhimo raised his hand, telling them to stand up instead of kneeling.
After waiting for about half an hour, the guard who went to investigate came back, bringing several people back at the same time.
As soon as those few people saw the woman, they all called out to her.
The woman wiped her tears, bowed to them, and thanked them for coming to testify.
"Auntie, Jiaojiao is something we have grown up with since childhood. We are very happy to be able to do something for her."
Liu Zhimo patted the gavel, and asked questions of the witnesses.
After questioning the witness, Liu Zhimo looked at Sun Qiang again, and asked him what else he could say
Sun Qiang was paralyzed on the ground, too scared to speak.
How could he defend himself when he was told in such detail
"My lord." Ma Xiancheng handed the case he had written down to Liu Zhimo for Liu Zhimo to read.
Liu Zhimo glanced at it and thought it was all right, so he asked him to take it to Sun Qiang as a pledge.
Ma Xiancheng said yes, walked up to Sun Qiang with the case and asked him to sign it.
Sun Qiang was pressed down by the guards and could not protest, so he could only sign his name tremblingly and press his fingerprints.
It's over, it's over, it's over for him this time.
I don't know what crime the county magistrate will sentence him to
"Sun Qiang, you have repeatedly committed crimes and never repented. This judge...sentences you to be sentenced to death." Liu Zhimo took the sign of execution and threw it in front of Sun Qiang.
As soon as the verdict came out, the common people cheered. Such a vicious person should have died a long time ago.
"My lord, thank you for making decisions for women, thank you, lord." The woman knelt down with tears streaming down her face, and kowtowed to Liu Zhimo a few times.
Daughter, the child's father, have you seen it? The villain who ruined our family has been convicted, and you can rest in peace.
Sun Qiang threw himself on the ground, yelling that he refused to accept, why should he be sentenced to death
"Maxian Chancellor, re-read Sun Qiang's crimes one by one, let him listen, how many crimes he has committed, should he be executed?"
Liu Zhimo glanced at Sun Qiang coldly, then turned his head and confessed to Ma Xiancheng.
Ma Xiancheng responded, and read out the crimes committed by Sun Qiang one by one again.
At the end of the reading, the common people shouted loudly, "Sun Qiang has committed so many crimes, he should have been executed a long time ago."
No one made decisions for them before, and now they can finally speak out about their grievances.
Sun Qiang lay pale on the ground, speechless.
Liu Zhimo asked the guards to drag Sun Qiang down and imprison him in a cell.
The remaining yamen servants didn't dare to say anything at all, they were afraid that they would end up like Sun Qiang.
Liu Zhimo took a look at them, and decided to take them into custody first, and then judge them properly.
"I am waiting for you at the yamen. If you have any grievances, just come and beat the drums to express your grievances." Liu Zhimo stood up and glanced at the common people again, "Retire."
After this incident, Liu Zhimo was so busy that it was dark, he went out early in the morning and only came back in the middle of the night.
The whole person lost a lot of weight, which made Li Qingling feel distressed.
"Don't need to get up, continue to sleep." Liu Zhimo reached out and pressed Li Qingling who wanted to get up with him, and kissed her on the forehead, "Remember to have breakfast, huh?"
"I'll cook for you at noon." Li Qingling reached out and touched his face, "Pay attention to rest, don't resist."
Liu Zhimo hummed, kissed her on the lips again, and then stood up to leave.
During this period of time, there were a lot of people who came to beat the drums to protest their grievances. He was so busy reversing cases one by one that he didn't even have time to drink, let alone eat properly.
However, seeing the smiles of the people made it all worth it.
"Master County Magistrate, good morning."
Liu Zhimo was walking on the road, seeing his people greeting him one after another, he smiled and nodded one by one.
"Master County Magistrate, come and eat steamed stuffed buns. I made them myself. They are very delicious."
As soon as the two big buns were stuffed into Liu Zhimo's hands, he ran away in a hurry.
Liu Zhimo wanted to call him back, but he couldn't.
"Master County Magistrate, come and eat sesame seed cakes."
Another commoner wanted to stuff the sesame seed cakes into Liu Zhimo's hand. Liu Zhimo hurriedly took a step back, waved his hands and said, no need, let him keep it for sale.
He was afraid that other people would also give him things, so he ran away in fright.
The people were so enthusiastic that he couldn't stand it.
"Hey... the county magistrate is too polite."
"I saw that the county magistrate has lost a lot of weight. Tomorrow, I will catch an old hen for the county magistrate so that he can replenish his body."
"It's hard to come here with a magistrate who is considerate of our people. Don't let him be exhausted. I'll see if there is anything in the house to replenish my body and give some to the magistrate."
"I'll go home and have a look..."
Liu Zhimo, who ran to the yamen, didn't know that the common people would think of him so wholeheartedly, and they all wanted to send him something to make up for him.
He finished eating two buns in a hurry, and then threw himself into the scroll again.
Not to mention the common people outside, even Ma Xiancheng admired Liu Zhimo very much. He often went home and told Hu Juanjuan that the county magistrate is a good official who wholeheartedly considers the common people, and he must follow the county magistrate. My lord, you can't hold back the county magistrate.
"My lord, this is the millet porridge made by my wife. Let me bring you some." Ma Xiancheng pushed the millet porridge in front of Liu Zhimo and asked him to drink some to nourish his stomach.
Liu Zhimo looked up at Ma Xiancheng, smiled at him and said, "Forget it this time, don't bring it again next time, I ate breakfast at home." He said, holding millet porridge, Drank it quickly.
He stood up, wanting to wash the bowl and return it to Ma Xiancheng.
Seeing his posture, ma county magistrate quickly snatched the bowl over, "Lord county magistrate, I'll do it." How could he let the magistrate wash the dishes
Ma Xiancheng was washing the dishes, and at the same time felt that the magistrate's upbringing was so good.
Even the four brats in his family became more polite and sensible after playing with the young masters.
He was relieved to see it.
"Maxian Cheng, come, take a look at this file." Seeing Ma Xiancheng coming back with a bowl, Liu Zhimo waved to him, pushed the file in front of him, and let him see it, "Are you interested in this case?" Do you still have any impression?"
Ma Xiancheng took the file, read it carefully, frowned and recalled it, and only then did he have the slightest impression.
He nodded and said what he remembered.
After listening, Liu Zhimo frowned. What was the reason for the woman to withdraw the case
"Go to Wutong Village when you have time to see what's going on?"
"Yes..." Thinking of Wutong Village, Ma Xiancheng's mouth twitched involuntarily. Anyone who was arrested and locked up the woodshed for no reason would not have a good impression of that place
Liu Zhimo silently wrote down the incident, put the file aside, and looked at other files.
This morning, no one came to report the crime. Liu Zhimo stood up, stretched his waist, turned to look at Ma Xiancheng, and told him to go back to have lunch.
"What about you?" You won't skip eating again, right? "Master County Magistrate, would you like me to bring you some food?"
"No, my wife is cooking today, and she will come and bring me food."
Caught off guard, he was fed another large amount of dog food.
Ma Xiancheng glanced at Liu Zhimo sadly, what's so great about his wife giving him food? He also has a wife, and he wants her to bring him food, hmph...
