Farmer's Wife Has Space

Chapter 287 No one told him what to do, he can only follow the original plan
The magistrate knew that he had to calm down at this moment.

The moment he saw Yue Lingzhi, he knew things might change.

Now Gu Zheng and Xie Chen also dare to come to the scene.

However, no one informed him of any changes, and he could only follow the original plan.

So, the magistrate put on airs: "Gu Zheng, are you here to report the crime of banditry in Luokang Mountain?"

Gu Zheng shook his head: "No!"

"I'm here to truthfully report the situation!"

Gu Zheng first explained the cause and effect of how he went to Meicheng to sell paintings, how he accidentally rescued Xie Chen, and how he accompanied his daughter-in-law to Luokang Mountain to treat the bandit leader Feng Qingyang.

Then he talked about what he saw and heard in Luokang Mountain, and he thought that the bandits in Luokang Mountain were not real bandits, most of them lived there with their families, opened up wasteland and farmed, and lived a self-sufficient farming life.

Although they occasionally came out to commit crimes, they robbed corrupt officials, profiteers and bullies of money, and they never robbed people without hurting people. They never harassed ordinary people, let alone murdered and set fire to them.

This point, the people of Qingping County and Meicheng can all testify.

After hearing what Gu Zheng said, the crowd onlookers started talking again.

"What he said is true."

"The bandits in Luokang Mountain have indeed never done anything evil before, and Feng Qingyang even robbed the rich and helped the poor."

"It turns out that someone has taken a fancy to Luokang Mountain."

"Did someone frame the bandits in Luokang Mountain?"

When the magistrate heard these discussions, he felt very bad.

Now the only way to do it is to act first.

He leaned close to Master Liu's ear and reminded him: "Gu Zheng and Xie Chen have a close relationship, and Xie Chen and the bandit leader are sworn brothers. According to the confessions of these bandits who surrendered themselves, in these five cases, Xie Chen and his brother gang are involved.”

"The person next to Gu Zheng is Xie Chen, so he has no fear. He dares to confuse the crowd with false rumors. If he wants to use public opinion to help the bandits get rid of their crimes, why not take them down first!"

Mr. Liu can command the people in the barracks, if they take action, Xie Chen will definitely be caught.

Mr. Liu already knew about the news related to the case. Before the trial, the magistrate showed him the case file and analyzed the case with him. He decided that Xie Chen and Feng Qingyang were in partnership to do these cruel things. the case
But the magistrate didn't know, the emperor also analyzed the case for Lord Liu in advance, and reminded him that the bandits in Luokang Mountain might be framed.

Although Lord Liu was angry at the cruelty of the bandits, he did not forget the emperor's reminder.

He also understood what the emperor wanted Yue Lingzhi to assist him in investigating the case.

With confidence in his heart, he calmed down and would not be swayed by the magistrate. He looked at Yue Lingzhi: "Miss Lingzhi, what do you think?"

Yue Lingzhi said calmly: "Master Zhifu, I'm afraid it's inappropriate to arrest people before the matter is clarified?"

The magistrate was dumbfounded, didn't he say that the emperor meant to take the opportunity to wipe out Xie Chen and his gang, and give the general's mansion a look?
He never expected that Master Liu would actually ask Yue Lingzhi what he meant.

And Yue Lingzhi dared to openly oppose his arrest.

It seems that the three joint trials today are extremely unfavorable to them.

He could only bite the bullet and speak in an official tone: "Miss Lingzhi doesn't know something. This case is actually very clear. There are all witnesses and evidence. These cases were done by the bandits from Luokang Mountain!"

"Xie Chen was taken down because he was related to this case, and Gu Zheng was taken down because he confuses the public with lies, praises the vicious bandits, wants to exonerate the bandits, and has the tendency to deliberately mislead the people to become bandits!"
