Splendid Pastoral: The system is against the sky

Chapter 83
"Isn't this perjury?" Huang Ping became frightened.

"Master Xiancheng gave each of you five taels of silver. Think about it, your salary for a month is only one tael. Even if you have worked so hard to become a headhunter, it is only two taels a month. Silver, one year is two or four taels of silver, and this five taels of silver is equivalent to your salary for two years," Liu Butler said with a straight face, "What's more, are you going to offend the county magistrate? This iron-clad county magistrate , the county magistrate of Liushui, do you still want to stay in the Yamen?"

The yamen servants looked at each other and nodded, two or three of them were quite helpless and embarrassed.

An hour later, amidst the tense waiting of everyone inside and outside the courtroom, finally a yamen servant brought two witnesses to the courtroom.

After the witness saluted the county magistrate, he immediately said: "Caomin Thursday, people from Shanghe Village, have seen you."

"Thursday! You're here," Xin Lao San hurriedly said, "Quickly prove that I am from Shanghe Village! Quickly prove that the one lying in the coffin is my mother!"

Looking at Xin Laosan on Thursday, he quickly said, "Yes, you are from Shanghe Village!"

Su Yaoxue didn't believe in Thursday. She wanted to let Thursday recognize who was from Shanghe Village. If Thursday couldn't recognize him, then it meant that there was something wrong with Thursday. She didn't expect Xin Lao San to call the name first. Her own identity made her lose the opportunity.

But it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter much.

"My lord, then open the coffin and let Thursday recognize the person!" Su Yaoxue said.

The county magistrate nodded and signaled the yamen servant to open the coffin.

After the yamen servants opened the coffin, they pointed to a female corpse in the coffin on Thursday and said, "Return to my lord, this is Xin Lao San his mother!"

"Are you sure?" the magistrate asked.

"I'm sure!" Thursday nodded.

Those who gave false testimony on Thursday had contacted these troublemakers as early as yesterday afternoon. They had backed their identities and identified the corpse in advance, just to make today's lore against Su Yaoxue Bureau, can be foolproof!
The county magistrate looked at Su Yaoxue helplessly, expressing that he was powerless to help her, and he didn't dare to openly favor her, turn black and white, and confuse right and wrong!

After a while, witnesses from several other villages were also brought to the court one after another. Not only could they recognize the plaintiff, but they could also recognize the corpse, confirming the kinship between the plaintiff and the corpse.

Now, everyone was more inclined to the plaintiff's side, thinking that Su Yaoxue was the guilty party.

Su Yaoxue said unconvinced: "I still suspect that this is a conspiracy. Even if the witnesses prove their identities and the deceased's identity, they still cannot prove the cause of death of the deceased? My lord, I request an autopsy!"

As soon as the words fell, before the plaintiff and others said anything, the crowd outside the venue became excited.

"This won't work! This is too much! People are already dead, and if you want to destroy their bodies, aren't you afraid of being struck by lightning?"

"That's right! The dead are the big ones. This girl's move is simply too shameful. Who would want to use a knife on one's relatives? If the relatives disagree, is this girl going to say that the other party has a guilty conscience? "

"I didn't expect this girl to be so vicious and scheming at such a young age. I really misjudged her! This person should be dragged to Caishikou and beheaded for public display!"

……

Seeing that the people were so excited, the county magistrate suddenly felt even more headache. He looked at the people on the plaintiff's side and said, "There is no basis for what you say. You have to do an autopsy to find out the real cause of death of the corpse. You are willing to let Wu Zuo do it." Autopsy?"

"We are willing!" Xin Laosan immediately said, "Master County Magistrate, we are good people, we are not bad people, we will not wrong a good person, but please don't let any bad person go, Lord Qingtian!"

"Okay!" The county magistrate nodded and slapped the gavel, "Come here, invite Zhang Wuzuo from Qingyun County!"

"Yes!" A yamen servant came out and nodded.

After half a stick of incense, Zhang Wuzuo was brought to the court with a toolbox for autopsy in his hand.

"Zhang Wuzuo, the plaintiff claimed that the defendant poisoned their relatives to death. Please perform an autopsy later to see if the dead were poisoned to death!" the county magistrate said with a calm face.

"Yes!" Zhang Yuzuo nodded, turned his head to look at Su Yaoxue with some sympathy, then lowered his head guiltyly, walked to the coffin, and started the autopsy.

After Su Yaoxue met his eyes, she immediately felt a little uneasy.

Is this bureau so big?

The other party took so much pains to kill her?

So, where is the way out?

She must calm down and think about countermeasures.

After half an hour passed, Zhang Yuzuo said to the county magistrate sternly: "My lord, after a preliminary judgment, they all died of poisoning."

The county magistrate's face suddenly turned gray, and he felt very uncomfortable.

The onlookers showed that it was so, and began to scold Su Yaoxue with more violent words, each of them wished to drag her out immediately and publicly execute her!

Everyone thought it was time for her to plead guilty to the law, but unexpectedly, after taking a deep breath, she said with a determined face: "My lord, you can't just listen to the family. I believe it's a conspiracy. I don't believe him." If so! Please, my lord, invite the officials of several other counties for me, let them come to the autopsy together, and prove the innocence of me and De Taimi for me!"

"Okay!" The county magistrate nodded, as long as there is still a glimmer of hope, he will not give up. The little girl in front of him belongs to the prince, and he cannot afford to offend her!
Now, the onlookers began to scold her for being shameless, delaying time, and framing her for doing it!

The county magistrate and others were wearing casual clothes, hiding in the crowd, watching the excitement in a good mood.

Seeing that her back was straight, the county magistrate couldn't help but sneered: "It's quite a struggle to the death."

"My lord, she is the grasshopper after autumn, she can't jump a few more times." Shopkeeper Xue echoed.

"That's right, she just doesn't cry when she sees the coffin, and she won't be able to move when the officials from the other counties arrive in a while," the county magistrate said with satisfaction, "I've already ordered Housekeeper Liu to wait a while, Let him act according to the plan, stop a few yamen servants at the place where he left the county, and lead them to meet with a few clerks who have already arranged. Shopkeeper Xue, your interlocking idea is very good, very good ah!"

"Your honor is too high," Shopkeeper Xue said with a flattering smile, "It's a villain's blessing to be able to work for you."

"You deserve my lord's praise!" The magistrate patted him on the shoulder, and said with relief, "You are thoughtful and clean, but it's a pity that you are too cautious. If you don't hide your clumsiness, my lord will be 20 years old. I've been supporting you for years."
