Elaborate on the world of mortals

Chapter 21
Hearing the county magistrate's order, the six yamen servants came out more and more, and some even moved out of the wide bench for punishment. Two of them came to Du Fang and pushed him down on the bench. Du Fang panicked and kept shouting for grievances.

"No, my lord, the grass people dare not tease you, the grass people are true! My lord, the grass people are wronged!"

County magistrate Lin ignored it and threw out the order.

"Call me!"

Du Fang's back and underarms were crossed by two water and fire sticks, and his feet were also supported by two water and fire sticks. There were two other people standing on both sides of Du Fang, a yamen servant said coldly.

"You'd better not move around, water and fire are ruthless, and the same is true for water and fire sticks. If you move around, a stick may break your waist and legs, so it's not a matter of lying down for a few days!"

Du Fang was so scared that his face turned pale, and he didn't dare to move casually, but he still shouted for injustice, and kept looking around.

"Miss He, Miss He—come out quickly—didn't you say that the county magistrate would understand—"

"Don't make any noise!"

A yamen servant shouted angrily, and the water and fire stick raised in his hand fell heavily.

"Bang~"

"what--"

"Bang~"

"Ah—my lord, I was wronged——"

"Bang~"

"what--"

After only four or five sticks fell, Du Fang couldn't even howl miserably, only whimpering was left, and he kept shouting grievances in his mouth.

Standing outside the courtroom, Yi Shuyuan subconsciously clenched the corner of his shirt, and even looked at the woman outside the gate behind him frequently, who was also howling.

"My lord, it's none of his business, my lord, can you hear me—the little girl is wronged—my lord—"

"I'm already a lonely ghost. I can't go back to my home, and I can't be reborn. I'm not willing to die in this desolate place, ah—"

The woman's cry was shrill and miserable, and the voice was a bit ferocious, which made Yi Shuyuan's scalp tingle, and when he turned his head to look, the woman's pale face became more and more blue, and black blood began to flow from all seven orifices. Units of black air filled the body.

Even if he didn't know anything about it, Yi Shuyuan knew with his toes that he was going to turn into a ghost!

"Eight" "Bang~"

"Nine" "Bang~"

The water and fire stick was still falling, Du Fang no longer had the strength to scream and struggle. In fact, the yamen guard had already started to keep his hands behind him, but even if he kept his hands, it would not be so comfortable.

This water and fire stick is a kind of torment for Du Fang, and it is also for women, but it is also the same for Yi Shuyuan.

Originally, Yi Shuyuan was still thinking about whether he could believe the nonsense, but at this moment, he really felt the despair of the woman.

Yi Shuyuan couldn't take it anymore, it was only a few breaths, and the nine water and fire sticks fell on his heart, and he didn't want the woman to become a ghost.

Since everyone can't see or hear, and you can't enter the court, then I, Yi Shuyuan, will help you!

Yi Shuyuan is just a small clerk, he is soft-spoken, it is impossible to force the county magistrate to go outside the county office, but he has his own way.

"stop--"

Finally, Yi Shuyuan spoke. His voice was clear and loud, which suddenly overwhelmed the few other voices in the courtroom late at night, and everyone's attention turned to him.

The county magistrate frowned and looked outside, there was a roofless area between the court hall and the front, which could be regarded as an outer hall, and there was a figure standing beside it at the moment, it was Yi Shuyuan.

"If I have not admitted my mistake, you should be the clerk who compiled the county chronicles, right?"

Yi Shuyuan didn't go directly into the courtroom, but walked a few steps from the edge to the courtroom and cupped his hands.

"It's down!"

"You know the crime of disturbing the court!"

Yi Shuyuan took a deep breath and answered the wrong question.

"My lord, I had a serious illness when I was young. After recovering from the illness, I occasionally encountered some strange things. I also saw ghosts and gods at night."

The people present were slightly startled when they heard the words, so it's not like this person also came to tease the county magistrate, right?

The county magistrate frowned even more. Compared with the miserable Du Fang on the ground, Yi Shuyuan's demeanor was extraordinary, and he was a member of the county government. It didn't seem like he would specifically tease him, right?
Yi Shuyuan didn't wait for other people to ask, but turned to face outside the gate of the court, and his eyes fell directly on the woman in white.

"Girl, if Yi's guess is correct, you are the girl He Xinhe who was murdered, right?"

The woman in white, who was already full of hostility, showed shock on her face, and then immediately became ecstatic. She wanted to take a step but was afraid, and asked with an unbelievable voice.

"Sir! Can you see me? Can you hear me?"

Yi Shuyuan nodded, and at the same time paid attention to the voice of every word and sentence of the woman.

"I can see and hear. Although I am afraid of ghosts, I can't see the wicked go unpunished, and I can't bear that you have no place to appeal for your grievances. You are born into a ghost in this just and strict place."

As Yi Shuyuan's voice fell, many people subconsciously felt a little cold, and many people followed Yi Shuyuan's line of sight to look outside the courtroom, naturally seeing nothing.

"Mr. Yi, you"

"My lord—please give me a moment!"

Yi Shuyuan also went all out at this meeting. He looked at the court and looked at the county magistrate during his speech. His eyes were clear and bright, and he was full of righteousness, which made the county magistrate speechless.

Yi Shuyuan looked outside the courtroom again, very well, the woman has stabilized a lot, it's up to him next!
"Girl, Yi is soft-spoken and doesn't have much ability. I would like to use you tonight to help you express your grievances. The county lord will definitely make the decision for you!"

upper body?The woman in white was stunned for a moment, and everyone present was stunned for a moment.

"Sir, how can I get on you? Will you come out and teach me, sir? Don't you come here? Sir——"

But no matter what the woman in white called, Yi Shuyuan didn't go out. Instead of going out, he walked towards the court step by step. When he reached Du Fang's side, he glanced at him, and then looked towards the door behind him.

"Girl, please, use my mouth to express your grievances sentence by sentence!"

"Sir—I can't get in the courtroom! Sir—"

The woman in white yelled anxiously. She thought Yi Shuyuan didn't know about it. In a hurry, she stepped back a few steps, and wanted to rush to the door again.

But Yi Shuyuan lowered his head, tried to keep calm in his heart, adjusted his breath, and spoke softly when the woman in white was about to rush to the door.

"grown ups."

Du Fang temporarily forgot the pain, and the woman in white who was approaching the door was also stunned.

This is not Yi Shuyuan's voice, this is a woman's voice, to be precise, this is He Xin's voice!

This is Yi Shuyuan's strategy. He is a civil official. Although Wu Minggao values ​​him, he is probably nothing to the county magistrate. It is impossible for him to believe that he can see ghosts and talk to others. I saw Yi Shuyuan talking into the air.

So Yi Shuyuan needs a way that everyone can believe immediately.

"It's Miss He! It's Miss He!"

Amidst Du Fang's joyful cry, everyone in the courtroom, from the county magistrate to the government servants, had goosebumps at this moment.

At this moment, Yi Shuyuan's spirit rose, even though I was just a storyteller, even though I was afraid of ghosts, even though I didn't have any great skills, I, Yi Shuyuan, still have the ability to help you!
"My lord, the girl of the people is He Xin!"

Yi Shuyuan spoke again. If he had to adjust the two words in a low voice at first, he could speak clearly now, just like He Xin's voice.

The county magistrate gasped, a chill rose from his feet to the top of his head, and his scalp felt numb!
"You, what's wrong with you"

Just now, County Magistrate Lin, who was full of arrogance and authority, doesn't have much confidence in his words at the moment. Even if he is the lord of a county, it is impossible not to be afraid of seeing ghosts at night, and the master over there can hardly even hold a pen. Steady.

The two rows of yamen servants were holding water and fire sticks tightly. If it wasn't for the habit accumulated over time, they would have the urge to run away. Even the few martial arts arresters who had just arrived outside the hall had cold hands and feet.

Hearing the county magistrate's voice, Yi Shuyuan knew that it was more than half done. He stabilized his mind and spoke quietly again.

"My lord, please let Young Master Du go first!"

The county magistrate looked at Du Fang who had been beaten badly, and quickly gave orders to the left and right.

"No more beatings, no more beatings, take him down, and then ask the doctor to heal him!"

After a few steps, Du Fang, who turned his head back, was helped away while the people around were in a hurry, and Yi Shuyuan, who lowered his head slightly, also spoke again.

"The girl was originally from Luo County, Wuzhou. She was kidnapped from Wuzhou by that evil businessman. I don't want to be humiliated. I would rather die than follow. After being killed by him, I will sink my body in Eshui."

Speaking of this, Yi Shuyuan's feminine voice paused slightly. These words were said by Du Fang before, and He Xin's cooperation is needed for the subsequent ones.

"What's the matter, please listen to me, the county lord."

Yi Shuyuan turned his face slightly to the outside, girl, it is inconvenient for someone Yi to tell you clearly now, but is this signal clear enough?Yi Shuyuan thought so, hoping that the woman didn't need him to make other hints.

Sure enough, the woman outside the gate was stunned for a moment, then she reacted immediately, and immediately spoke in the direction of the hall.

"The little girl was originally the daughter of a bamboo strip craftsman in Luo County, Wuzhou. She was the third in the family, and there was a . "

"The little girl was originally the daughter of a bamboo strip maker in Luo County, Wuzhou."

When the woman in white said something, Yi Shuyuan immediately followed suit, with almost the same tone of voice.

As she continued to tell, the woman in white seemed to have forgotten the matter of passing on the message, and became more and more emotional, crying out of sadness.

However, Yi Shuyuan didn't even lose a trace of his voice, and he was also sad and vocal. Although his back was facing the woman, some of them even had a somewhat similar posture.

In the county government hall, most people who were originally afraid were gradually attracted by the incident itself following Yi Shuyuan's narration, and their hearts gradually became angry!
