Cure the cold-faced general by solving crimes

Chapter 1 In Court
  A spring rain.

The willow tree outside the Ping'an County government office pulled out its delicate branches, and a leaf swayed in the wind, floated into the court hall, and landed at Jiang Xihe's feet.

The girl was wearing a long aqua dress, with a fair complexion and a tall figure. Her hair was simply pulled into a bud, with a red hosta inserted diagonally between the buds.

The red jade in the hairpin looks like a begonia, which makes the girl beautiful and agile, especially her eyes, which are like a deer's and occasionally gleam with water, making her look very well-behaved.

She didn't speak and lowered her eyes. Anyone would feel a little pity for her.

But as soon as she opened her mouth, she was completely different from her bluffing appearance.

At this moment, she lowered her gaze, and her eyelashes cast a dark shadow. Everyone could only see her eyes falling with the willow leaves, and a smile on her lips.

"Master Qi, spring is here." Jiang Xihe leaned over and picked up the green leaves, raised his head and looked at the court, "There is insufficient evidence for Fang Lianqing's murder. Please let him go."

The people watching were sighing.

Two middle-aged men were kneeling next to Jiang Xihe. One of them straightened up and pointed at the other and shouted loudly, "Fang Lianqing is the murderer of my sister. You can't let him go."

The man named Fang Lianqing defended loudly, "I didn't kill anyone. Meng Liang was lying. Please tell me."

Magistrate Qi, with a gray beard, was so angry that he knocked on the gavel tree and pointed at Jiang Xihe to stop him, "There is no doubt that Fang Lianqing killed Meng Fang. Lawyer Jiang should stop making excuses."

Jiang Xihe took a step forward, slowly put away the smile on his face, and asked, "There is no doubt that Fang Lianqing committed murder? Then let me ask your Lord, what is the evidence of Fang Lianqing's murder? Where is the murder weapon? What was the process of committing the crime? Lord Qi, please present it in front of the people of the county. , expressly!"

"You..." The old man raised his finger and pointed at Jiang Xihe, speechless for a moment.

"Sir Qi, there must be evidence to arrest people, and the case must be tried according to rules. Now that there is no evidence, how can you say that Fang Lianqing committed murder without a doubt?" Jiang Xihe's voice was gentle and gentle, but every sentence hit the point, and Old Qi's heart tightened.

Meng Liang shouted, "Master Qi, Fang Lianqing had a bad idea a long time ago in order to seize my sister's property. My sister was killed by Fang Lianqing. Letting Fang Lianqing go is like letting the tiger go back to the mountain. You can't let her go!"

The people watching gradually began to talk, and seeing the scene gradually becoming chaotic, Old Man Qi knitted his eyebrows together, knocked on the gavel again and again, and said loudly, "I will not try this case anymore, the new county magistrate will take office today, what do you want? Go talk to him."

Jiang Xihe was stunned, and his small nose tightened. His innocent expression seemed to be pleading, but he said, "In that case, please let Fang Lianqing go first."

The old man shrank back and ignored the chaos in the hall. He hooked it with his fingers. When Jiang Xihe came to him, he discussed in a low voice, "Xiaohe, can't you wait until the new county magistrate comes? I heard that Pingxi University The general is both civil and military, and he will definitely be able to get to the bottom of this case. Can you let me go?"

As he spoke, the old man stood up and prepared to sneak into the inner hall.

Jiang Xihe quickly stopped him and said, "Let him go first."

The old man's facial features were squeezed together, and he wished he could get wings and fly out of the court, "Then General Pingxi has sent a letter. It will arrive today, soon, maybe now. Let's get together and go away. Xiaohe, I beg you. , don’t hold me back.”

Jiang Xihe ignored him and persistently grabbed the old man's sleeve, "You let him go first. Since you don't care about the case, don't arrest him either."

When Meng Liang heard this, he stamped his feet anxiously, "No, Mr. Qi, you can't let him go. If you let Fang Lianqing go, he will definitely run away. My sister is so unjust."

Fang Lianqing, who had just been beaten, also endured the great pain and begged, "Sir, I did not kill anyone. I will not go anywhere after returning home. I will cooperate with you to solve the case. Meng Fang is my sister-in-law, and I will let her rest in peace." "

Meng Liang shouted even louder, "Why don't you believe me? Jiang Xihe must have taken Fang Lianqing's money to say good things for him."

Magistrate Qi was about to cry but had no tears, "Xiaohe, I beg you, let me go. Look, he said you took money to speak for Fang Lianqing. Could it be that you really took money from others to embarrass me?"

Jiang Xihe crushed the elm leaf in his hand and raised his voice and said, "No matter whether I collect the money or not, you have no reason to arrest Fang Lianqing. You should let him go first."

The old man stared, Jiang Xihe's appearance was too deceiving.

When I first saw her, I thought she was as innocent as a white rabbit, and everything was easy to discuss. However, she turned out to be tenacious and persistent in doing things, leaving no room for maneuver. "Xiao He, I've treated you well over the years, can you let me go and confront the new county magistrate?" Old Man Qi had already changed to a pleading tone.

Jiang Xihe refused to give in, holding on to Old Man Qi's sleeve tightly, "You let him go first, in case the new county magistrate is incompetent, you didn't just give me a false blow..."

"Master Pei, the magistrate of Ping'an County, has arrived." A full and deep voice passed through the carved beams and painted buildings of Ping'an County's government office and echoed in the court hall.

The noise suddenly stopped.

Jiang Xihe looked back and saw a young man wearing a black python robe walking against the light.

The man is tall, heroic and straight, with firm and steady steps. Around his waist is a thin golden belt with a dark green dragon and phoenix pattern, like a ripple on the surface of a calm lake. A black hairband binds his wind-like hair hanging down on his shoulders and forehead. A few strands of broken hair blocked his deep eyebrows, his profile was as sharp as a knife, his mouth was cold, his eyes were half-squinted, but there was an indescribable gloominess in his eyes.

Jiang Xihe's eyes met with his, and there was a murderous look in his eyes.

Old Man Qi came to his senses first, "General? Are you... Pei..." When the words came to his lips, he stuttered.

Two steps behind the man, there followed a man in his forties with the same tall and tall body. He slowly looked at the crowd and said solemnly, "This is General Pingxi, the new magistrate of Ping'an County."

The surroundings became quiet.

The young man stood still, looked around the hall to watch the people, and bowed slightly. There was a convincing power in the new county magistrate, and the crowd slowly began to boil again.

Meng Liang reacted first and shouted loudly, "County Magistrate Pei, Magistrate Pei, my name is Meng Liang, Fang Lianqing is a murderer, you have to catch him quickly."

Fang Lianqing hurriedly defended himself: "Your Excellency, I did not kill anyone. I was wronged. Please investigate the case and redress my injustice."

Jiang Xihe took a step forward and said, "Sir Pei, there is insufficient evidence for Fang Lianqing's murder. Please let him go."

Pei Zhizhao looked at Jiang Xihe coldly. The girl looked about fifteen or sixteen years old, and she was tall and graceful. She was actually a female lawyer.

He heard clearly in the audience just now that there was indeed insufficient evidence for Fang Lianqing's murder, and the girl cleverly grasped this point without giving in.

Pei Zhizhao looked at Magistrate Qi.

The old man waved his hand and said flatteringly: "Master Pei, I'll leave this to you and we'll hand it over right away, okay?"

Pei Zhizhao pursed his lips tightly, with a stern look on his face.

Magistrate Qi lowered his head dryly and explained, "The general doesn't know something. This case is too complicated. I am old-eyed and ineffective. I really can't figure it out now."

Pei Zhizhao felt cold, and the old man hesitated, "This...I...ah..."

"Let him go!" Pei Zhizhao said only two words, his voice was sharp, deep and steady.

Several government officials hurried forward.

Fang Lianqing breathed a sigh of relief after being untied. Pei Zhizhao pointed to the four government officials beside him and said, "From now on, the four of you will take turns guarding Fang Lianqing. Don't leave him even half a step until the case is found out."

Fang Lianqing was stunned.

Pei Zhizhao looked around at the crowd again and said word by word, "I am Pei Zhizhao, the new magistrate of Ping'an County. I will take over this case. Please disperse."
