Elaborate on the world of mortals

Chapter 24 Worth a Book

Afterwards, Jia Yuntong revealed many things he had done with a trembling voice. He Xin was not the only one who killed the woman, but was also related to some brothels. I don’t know how many people gnashed their teeth, especially those with daughters. Father's eyes were like fire.

With Jia Yuntong's guilty plea, many people brought on board his boat were already terrified, and they quickly revealed many things, they were scrambling to become tainted witnesses.

Some women even shed tears and thanked themselves for being rescued. They didn't dare to make a sound before, but now they are sobbing in the outer hall area.

But after Jia Yuntong and the others finished explaining, especially after Jia Yuntong revealed some shocking news, some people in the courtroom couldn't help but look at each other in blank dismay, the master even looked at County Magistrate Lin frequently, even Yi Shuyuan He also looked serious.

At this moment, County Magistrate Lin's expression was no longer angry, but rather complicated, with a deep feeling of being on the verge of riding a tiger, and he felt that Jia Yuntong really deserved to die!

Inside and outside the courtroom in the middle of the night, there was a brief silence, and everyone was looking at County Magistrate Lin.

Lin Xiuchang sighed, and looked past him to look outside the yamen. He couldn't see where He Xin was, so he looked at Yi Shuyuan, who was nodding slightly.

"Let him sign it!"

After taking a deep breath, the county magistrate said this sentence.

The crime was written by the master next to Yi Shuyuan. Jia Yuntong looked up at County Magistrate Lin, then knelt on the ground to sign, unable to hold the pen normally under the severe pain in his ten fingers, he could only write with the pen in his palm, and then pressed down tremblingly. Ink pad painting.

The yamen servant took the charge and submitted it to the public case.

"My lord, that evil merchant Jia Yuntong has already placed a bet!"

County Magistrate Lin glanced at the charge, then raised the gavel again.

"Crack~"

Everyone's heart skipped a beat, knowing that the verdict was coming.

"The evil businessman Jia Yuntong, who raped and robbed women, raped and plundered, colluded with officials, and disregarded human life, has committed numerous crimes, with solid evidence! According to my Dayong law, his ship's money and goods were seized, and Jia Yuntong was sentenced."

County magistrate Lin paused slightly, his eyes fixed, watching Jia Yuntong say every word.

"Waist, behead, it, punishment! Immediately put into the dungeon, report to the Ministry of Punishment, and send it to Dali Temple for review!"

"what!"

Jia Yuntong was paralyzed on the ground with a bloodless face, but he was still a little thankful in his heart. He looked outside the door, and it seemed that the terrifying ghost figure could no longer be seen, but he still felt cold all over his body.

"Master Qingtian!" "Master Qingtian!"

Among the people who were brought together from the boat, many women and even men kowtowed in the court hall in the outer hall, and even Yi Shuyuan looked at County Magistrate Lin with respect in his eyes.

What followed was the interrogation of some accomplices and accomplices and the Jianghu man, each of whom had their own verdicts, and naturally many people were also freed.

After a night trial, the people in the Yuanjiang County Government felt exhausted.

Jia Yuntong and the others had already been taken to the dungeon, and everyone else had been removed one by one. At this moment, the master finally couldn't help but speak.

"My lord, the case of Jia Yuntong."

County magistrate Lin sighed when he heard the words, but suddenly smiled. Before he became an official, he didn't have much ambition. You can be rich without making any big mistakes.

As a county magistrate, Lin Xiu has been transferred to many places in recent years, and he has done some duties. Of course, he has also gained a lot of money, but after serving so many officials, it is the first time that he is called "Master Qingtian" today. He looked up. He looked at the plaque in the high court behind him.

The mirror hangs high!

"That's all, who told me to meet you! Get out of court!"

After the county magistrate finished speaking, he stood up, loosened the collar of his official uniform, and took off the black gauze on his head and put it on the public case.

At this moment, in Yi Shuyuan's eyes, it seemed that Lin County Magistrate was a little brighter.

"Mr. Yi, is He Xin still there?"

Yi Shuyuan stood up and answered with cupped hands.

"Master Huixian, Miss He Xin has been standing outside the door."

County magistrate Lin stepped down from the case and walked outside the courtroom, Yi Shuyuan immediately followed, the master hesitated for a while and followed, but because of fear, he was still a few steps behind.

The yamen servants and others at the side looked at each other in blank dismay. Although the adults said to withdraw, no one left immediately.

The three people headed by County Magistrate Lin arrived at the head of the county government office.

"My lord, Miss He Xin is three feet away."

Yi Shuyuan said and looked at the woman in white, and then he was slightly taken aback. At some point, an official in black robe appeared on the street. It might be because he was blocked by the door wall before. The official was obviously not a member of the county government, standing there without any movement, with the word "You" written on the top hat.

Seeing Yi Shuyuan, the official seemed to be stunned for a moment, and disappeared the next moment.

Yi Shuyuan's heart skipped a beat!not human?
No one noticed all this, even He Xin.

At this moment, He Xin was looking at the county magistrate and Yi Shuyuan gratefully. She knelt down outside the door, kowtowed to Yi Shuyuan, and kowtowed to the county magistrate.

"Thank you sir, thank you sir!"

As if cause and effect were intertwined with each other, at this moment, County Magistrate Lin even saw a vague white shadow. It seemed that a woman was kowtowing in front of the door, and there was the faint sound of crying.

"Thank you sir, thank you sir! Thank you sir, thank you sir"

The night was getting deeper, the people who had just tried the case had already dispersed, Yi Shuyuan had also returned to the library, and he was going to pack up and go to sleep.

But at this moment, Yi Shuyuan's heart was not at peace. He was thinking about the woman in white who floated away in the end, the county magistrate Lin, and whether Jia Yuntong could really serve his sentence.

Could it be that you are a wandering god?Did he arrive later, or did he follow Du Fang and He Xin from the beginning?

He said he was going to pack up and go to bed, but when Yi Shuyuan came to the desk, he subconsciously sat down again. He picked up the pen and unfolded a new piece of rice paper.

The pen falls on the rice paper, swaying the natural handwriting.
What a good story to read, with a good start and hopefully a good ending!

At dawn the next day, last night the county government's justice for the ghost spread like wildfire, and many people in the streets and alleys were describing it vividly.

At the counter of the Tongxin Building, a yamen servant hurried over and put a flagon on the counter.

"Shopkeeper, hang half a catty of wine."

The county yamen restaurant is just a place for everyone to eat, and basically does not provide alcohol, but people usually don't say that the yamen servants take it with them after drinking outside. After all, the rule is that the dead are alive.

The hall on the first floor of the Tongxin Building was originally very lively, but it suddenly became quiet. Someone pointed in the direction of the counter, and the yamen servant was a little puzzled, but he didn't say anything. The shopkeeper behind the counter grabbed the flagon Just asked.

"Brother You, I heard that yesterday the county government was promoted to the hall in the middle of the night, and it was a ghost beating drums to cry out for grievances. Is there such a thing?"

Someone on the side immediately added.

"Yeah, last night I heard drums beating at home!" "The watchman also said that the lights in the yamen are on trial!"

"Yes, I heard that he went out of the city in the middle of the night to arrest criminals!"

The yamen servant looked around and smiled.

"Yo, the news is good enough, do you know everything?"

Hearing what the yamen servant said, everyone knew that this matter was likely to be true.

"Oh, it's all being passed on. I only know one of them but don't know the other. Is it convenient for Brother You to talk about it?"

At a table over there, someone echoed loudly.

"Brother You San, don't go to the dining hall to eat, come to me, the food will be served, add a pair of bowls and chopsticks, I also ordered wine, can you tell me what happened last night?"

"Yeah, let's eat here!"

Others also booed.

The yamen servant showed a smile, and smiled as he walked towards the table.

"Then what's the point?"

"Oh, third brother You is a straightforward person, what's wrong with treating you to a meal, and you can sue me for bribes? Hey, third brother, is what happened last night true?"

Na Yousan took a sip from the wine glass, then let out a sigh of relief.

"Don't talk about you, it's just me. I feel a little dazed thinking about it now. When the drums sounded last night, I really didn't expect it to be a ghost to avenge my grievances!"

"Is it really a ghost?"

You San nodded.

"Well, but it's not a ghost who beats the drum, but a young man from the county. I don’t even believe that kid, I thought he was teasing everyone and beat him more than a dozen times.”

"Well, how did the county lord believe it?" "Yes, third brother, don't be fooled!"

The yamen servant was not in a hurry to eat, and sat down with his back to the dining table, and drank the wine in the glass in one gulp.

"Originally, although that kid has a good heart, he was afraid that he would be beaten for nothing. Even the county venerable, Lord Qingtian, thought he was talking nonsense, but the wonderful thing is that there is a strange person in my county office. That gentleman can see God every day." You can see ghosts at night!"

"Hiss" "Is there such a high-level person in the county government?" "Who is it?"

The yamen servant looked at the curious eyes of the people around him and said in a low voice.

"Mr. Yi, who compiled the county chronicles! When Mr. Yi came, the Master Registrar accompanied him all the way, and introduced him to the inside and outside of the county office step by step. "

"Hey, it's far away. Mr. Yi happened to be there last night. Seeing that the ghost was wronged and pitiful, he helped her so that she could speak out in court."

"Oh!" "That's how it is."

Although the yamen servant's expressive ability is not very good, what happened last night was already exciting enough. Following his narration, everyone was amazed.
