Chapter 666 Counterclaim (1)

"With Miss here, this servant is not afraid of anything!" Yu Qiu said firmly.

Beibei hooked her lips and got into the carriage.

After getting into the carriage, Beibei closed his eyes again and ran through his mind about the problems he might encounter after arriving at the county government office.

As soon as the carriage stopped at the gate of the county government office, someone shouted, "Look, the person in the carriage is the murderer!"

"Murder for life!"

"Murder for life!"

The angry voices rose and fell, and Yu Qiu looked at Bei Bei nervously.

Beibei smiled: "It's really hard to appease the anger!"

"Miss……"

As soon as Yu Qiu opened the curtain of the car, he saw angry people swarming towards the carriage, and was so frightened that he hurried back to the carriage.

Although Yu Qiu had a delicate mind, she was only a child after all, so it was inevitable that she would be a little timid in the face of such a situation.

"Don't be afraid!" Beibei smiled reassuringly at Yu Qiu.

This is the gate of the county yamen, and it is impossible for those yamen servants to watch them being attacked by the people.

After Jin Cheng's incident, all the servants in the An County Government Office had undergone a major cleansing, so Beibei was not worried that they would be bribed.

Sure enough, as Beibei expected, just before the people besieged them, some government servants rushed out from the county government office and escorted them out of the carriage.

One of the yamen servants was still holding a copper gong, knocking and shouting: "Folks, calm down, I understand that there is such a big murder case in the city today, and everyone is very disturbed. I can assure the villagers that if this case is really The owner of the No. [-] sauce shop committed the crime, the county magistrate will definitely give justice to all the villagers, and will definitely bring the murderer to justice, and please stay calm, folks!"

After the yamen servant finished speaking, he saw that the restlessness of the villagers had calmed down a bit, and then continued: "Of course, everything is based on evidence. This case has not yet been concluded. The owner of the sauce shop can only be said to be a suspect. Our county magistrate He is a good official who abides by the law, is honest and impartial, he knows that the villagers attach great importance to this murder case, so he plans to open the yamen for a public trial tonight to show justice, and the villagers must not make any noise!"

A few figures hidden in the crowd saw that the anger of the crowd was appeased by a few words from the yamen servants, their eyes flashed fiercely, and they looked at each other from a distance, and were about to open their mouths to continue to provoke the anger of the crowd, but they didn't know that their every move had already happened. Before Beibei got off the carriage, she fell into Shen Wen's eyes.

Just as they were opening their mouths for the score, Shen Wen and a few others sprinkled the powder given by Beibei on them without leaving a trace, and they couldn't even utter a sound.

After a few "ah", he suddenly pinched his own neck in horror, stretched out his fingers and scratched his throat.

At this time, all the villagers, led by the yamen servant just now, squeezed into the gate of the county yamen, stopped in the yard in front of the court, and looked inside.

At this time, lanterns were lit inside and outside the court, illuminating the inside of the court as if it were daytime.

Sitting in the middle of the courtroom was a man in his fifties with a Chinese character face and a majestic face. This man is the magistrate of An County today.

And Beibei knelt down opposite the magistrate in the hall, beside her was a woman in her thirties who was crying for grievances while wiping her tears.

Hearing the woman's grievance, the villagers outside the hall became excited again, pointing at Bei Bei and cursing.

At the same time, Yu Qiu who was standing outside the hall looked back at the villagers, his eyes were full of anxiety and anger.

Yu Qiu also knew that she should calm down at this time, but when she heard those people scolding her young lady indiscriminately, she almost couldn't help arguing with them.

The county magistrate slapped the gavel and shouted outside the hall: "Quiet!"

The people of this dynasty had an instinctive fear of the county magistrate. When the county magistrate became angry, everyone immediately silenced and did not dare to make any more noise, for fear of angering the county magistrate and being dragged into prison.

After the hall fell silent inside and outside, the county magistrate slapped the gavel again, and asked Bei Bei who was kneeling in the hall, "Bo Bei Bei, Ai Shi sued you for poisoning her family and relatives with sauce, a total of thirteen life, can you plead guilty?"

Beibei raised her head, looked directly at the magistrate, and said decisively: "My lord, the daughter of the people wants to sue Ai for framing!"

As Beibei spoke, he took out a piece of paper from his bosom.

The woman named Ai was stunned when she heard this, and then burst into tears: "Oh my God, is there any reason! Thirteen people died in our family for no reason, and the murderer still wants to sue me. Let people live? I'll just die..."

"Silence!" The county magistrate patted the gavel, and interrupted Ai Shi's howling with a cold drink: "Ai Shi, your family and relatives died unjustly, I will investigate thoroughly and give you justice, but this is the court. , I won’t allow you to be presumptuous! I understand that you have lost your loved ones and lost control of your emotions, and will not pursue your quarrel in court for the time being, but if you commit another crime, I will definitely not forgive you lightly!"

Ai Shi's eyes were still rolling in their sockets, and the gavel slapped, he choked up in fright, hurriedly forced back the tears, knelt aside timidly, not daring to make a sound.

The courtyard was noisy again because of Beibei's words, but when they heard the county magistrate slapped the gavel again, and then heard the magistrate's warning to Ai Shi, everyone quickly shut up.

Seeing that both hands were holding the pleading paper under his head, the magistrate took a deep look at her before he nodded towards a yamen servant in the hall, who stepped forward to take the pleading paper in Beibei's hand and sent it to the county magistrate's case.

After reading the pleadings, the county magistrate put the pleadings back on the case and asked, "Bo Beibei, you said you wanted to sue Ai for false accusations, do you have evidence?"

"My lord, I accuse Ai Shi of false accusation, shouldn't Ai Shi provide evidence?" Beibei raised her head and asked.

The reason why she handed over the pleadings was to turn passive into active. She wanted to subvert everyone's preconceived ideas first.

No matter which dynasty they are in, the weak always get more sympathy. Beibei knows that most people in An County now regard her as a murderer. No matter how many people's minds can be changed by this pleadings, she has to try.

It was the first time that the county magistrate encountered such a bold suspect who dared to ask him back. He was slightly stunned for a while, and then scolded with a heavy face, "Bold, Babe, you dare to question me?!"

"My lord, Minnv dare not!" Beibei lowered her head, but her volume continued unabated, enough for all the people in the courtyard to hear: "Minnv is a citizen of An County, and you are the parent officer of our An County, Minnv It’s just that there is something I don’t understand, please help the women’s volleyball team to clear up the doubts!”

The county magistrate was too serious, and it was not easy to be fooled. There were so many people watching in the yard, Beibei said that it was impossible not to be nervous, and her palms were sweating.

However, for the sake of her sauce shop and her own innocence, she can't admit defeat!
The county magistrate pondered for a while, then shouted: "Come here, present the physical evidence!"

The county magistrate is not someone who only looks at the evidence, since Beibei refuses to accept and plead guilty, he will give her a chance to defend herself.
