Chapter 83 The truth about the bully incident (1)
All of a sudden, there was a commotion in the courtroom...

The magistrate Shen who was sitting in front of the desk listened to this, and slammed the gavel under his hand. Suddenly, the hall was quiet, and everyone shut their mouths.

County Magistrate Shen scanned the crowd and said, "Have you all pleaded guilty?"

"Confession, confession. We all know the crime, and I hope that the Lord will give you a lighter sentence!" All the bullies in the hall nodded and pleaded guilty.

County magistrate Shen looked at the master who was taking notes at the side, and asked: "Are the two confessions consistent? If they are consistent, they will sign and mark."

The master stood up and replied: "My lord, the contents of the two confessions are basically the same!"

Next, the yamen servant took the statement written by the master and asked the bullies to put their fingerprints on them one by one, and put them in charge.

After these were done, County Magistrate Shen took a look, and then turned to ask the three Li family members: "Now that the criminals have all pleaded guilty, the judge is about to pronounce the sentence. Do you have any special requirements?"

Naturally, Mrs. Li hoped to punish these villains severely, but now she was asked what special request she had, but she couldn't tell.

Lin Xiaoqiao saw that her mother was at a loss, so she stood up and said to the county magistrate Shen with certainty: "My lord, these bad guys do a lot of evil, and they bully good people in the market in the name of collecting protection fees. It’s been two days! If he is not severely punished, I’m afraid it will harm the people of Anping Town in the future! Minnu and others hope that the adults will be the masters of the people, and severely punish the bullies who do evil and evil, so as to vent the anger of the people!”

After hearing Lin Xiaoqiao's indignant words, magistrate Shen was a little surprised. He didn't expect this girl to be quite courageous and speak fiercely at such a young age.

Thinking of Young Master Qin who was still waiting for the news in the back hall, County Magistrate Shen already had concerns about the case, so he took the case and said: "In this case, such wicked people cannot be forgiven lightly. This judge pronounces the sentence here, the leading wicked person Wang Dashi was sentenced to eighty sticks and was imprisoned for ten years. The rest of the accomplices were given forty sticks and imprisoned for five years."

After Shen county magistrate's words fell, some yamen servants moved to Xingdeng, and ignored the pleadings and begging for mercy of those bullies at all, and carried them expressionlessly, preparing to carry out the punishment of stick punishment pronounced by the county magistrate.

Seeing this scene, the three of Lin Xiaoqiao felt a little bit of joy in their hearts, looking forward to the beating of these villains.

However, before the beating started, Tian Yougui, who was lying on the torture bench, suddenly yelled and begged for mercy: "My lord, I still have some inside information about today's incident! I hope that after listening to your lord, you can find the culprit and be able to deal with it." Let's take it lightly!"

Hearing this, Lin Xiaoqiao, who was expecting to see the wicked being beaten to relieve his anger, became a little puzzled. Could it be that there is still some kind of conspiracy behind today's incident? , Harm their mother and daughter three?

But if you think about it carefully, they don't seem to have offended anyone. It doesn't make sense to say that their colleagues are jealous. Their family's sanzi was only put out for trial sale today, so it wouldn't be so quick. People are jealous!

When Lin Xiaoqiao was puzzled, Shen County Magistrate who was sitting in front of the case was also a little surprised. He thought that the case could be ended early, and all the criminals would be severely punished, so that it would be better for Qin The young master confessed.

However, now there is a turning point in the case, and there is still an inside story. I didn't expect this seemingly simple case of bullying and bullying to be so complicated!
However, now that the matter has developed to this point, he is not allowed to think about it. It is better to investigate the case as soon as possible, and let's talk after we understand it.

Therefore, Shen county magistrate took another shot of the gavel in his hand: "The execution of the rod punishment will be postponed, and the officer will first listen to whether the prisoner's words are true."

All the yamen servants stopped their movements at this moment, and those bullies who were supposed to be punished also quickly fell off the torture bench, and all of them knelt on the ground for trial.

"Who said that just now, saying that there is something else going on in this case?" County Magistrate Shen asked.

"Your Excellency, it's the grass-roots people." Doshita Yuki admitted hesitantly.

"Bold, why did you suddenly disturb the execution by the guards, and why didn't you tell the whole story quickly! If you have half a false statement today, don't blame me for serving you with severe punishment. I will punish you even more!" County magistrate Shen took another shot of the gavel in his hand, and asked with a majestic momentum.

"My lord, the grass people are not very clear about the whole matter, but the grass people know that today's incident was actually ordered by the three of us brothers to deliberately intimidate and punish the mother and daughter. The grass people don't know who is behind the instigation. But Caomin’s eldest brother, oh no, Wang Da knows best! My lord, Caomin has explained everything clearly, I hope my lord will punish me lightly!” Tian Yougui said this in a bit of a stuttering manner. some words.

When Lin Xiaoqiao's mother and daughter heard this, they were very puzzled. Who specially ordered the bully to threaten and punish them?It seems that their family has never offended anyone, who has they had grudges against?

County magistrate Shen also had doubts in his heart. It seemed that the three of them, the mother and daughter, were all of their own responsibilities. Who on earth had such harmful intentions?The answer should be on the horizon!

"Who is Wang Da, hurry up and explain everything clearly, if there is any more concealment, you will be punished with severe punishment." County magistrate Shen continued to ask.

Wang Da originally didn't think about revealing the truth of the matter now, he also thought about asking someone to send a message to that person after he was imprisoned, so as to blackmail him.Unexpectedly, the second child was so spineless that he said it first, and at this moment, he could no longer tolerate his small thoughts and continue to hide it.Perhaps, now that he honestly tells the person behind it, he can also be sentenced to a lighter sentence.

Wang Da weighed quickly in his heart, and then decided to tell the truth: "My lord, Caomin is Wang Da. What we did today was indeed not of our own will, it was—someone ordered me to do this behind my back. I did." He paused at this point, as if he was considering whether to continue talking.

Naturally, County Magistrate Shen would not give him a chance to hide it again, and immediately shouted: "Who is the person behind the scenes? If you don't recruit them quickly, are you waiting for the officer to punish you?"

"My lord, if I tell the person behind the scenes, can I be punished lightly?" Although Wang Da was also intimidated by the power of the county magistrate, he still had the courage to ask a question tentatively.

After he finished asking, County Magistrate Shen's complexion began to show anger, his brows were tightly frowned, and the gavel in his hand was already raised high, ready to be punished...

At this time, Wang Daji confessed before the county magistrate spoke with a wink, "My lord, the person behind the instigation is Liu Dayou, a fellow of Caomin."

Surname Liu?Baishui Village?These two pieces of information gave Li, who was standing aside and listening to the trial silently, a vague answer in her mind, but she is still not quite sure, and she doesn't want to believe that what happened today has something to do with that person.
