Chapter 139 The Dust Settles
"A person like him, I don't know how many people will be killed outside! He must be brought back!"

He burst into tears and wiped many tears on his sleeves.

"Since you know that he committed an unforgivable crime, why didn't you come to the Yamen to report the crime as soon as possible?" Nie Mingli beat him deliberately.

If he had reported the case as soon as possible, he would not have made such a big detour to solve the case.

"My lord... I am also afraid, I am afraid that you will think that Zhao Xiaoniang was murdered by me... That's why I dare not come, but I really can't stand it, Li Zhong's behavior can still be done freely outside, it is really hateful!"

"His sage books have been read into the dog's stomach! Even if the lord punishes me for concealing and failing to report, I will... admit it!"

Nie Mingli saw that he was on the right track, so he didn't ask any more questions. His testimony was not far from what Nie Mingli had guessed. With a clear order, the matter should be settled.

The people were already in place, and Nie Mingli immediately arrested Li Zhong and brought him back for review.

Li Zhong has been under his surveillance all the time, and he was caught as soon as he said he was caught. I heard that when he was brought, he was choosing new clothes happily at Buxing.

Yuan Yuan took out his mantra talisman and used it on Li Zhong in advance.

Yuan Yuan asked Nie Mingli to bring the third brother to court, she wanted the third brother to witness with his own eyes what kind of person Li Zhong was.

Knowing people, knowing face but not knowing heart, the third brother is still too kind to the people around him, that's why he was kept in the dark by Li Zhong and used by him.

In order to avoid running into the third brother, Yuan Yuan did not appear in court.

In the courtroom, after Nie Mingli recounted the sequence of events and the identification of the witnesses, Li Zhong was already indisputable. Even without the mantra, he could only plead guilty.

However, the effect of the mantra is still great, allowing him to vomit out all the dissatisfaction and anger in his heart for many years except the truth.

He murdered Mrs. Zhao not because Mrs. Zhao was on good terms with others, but more because of money issues.

The family's income depends entirely on Mr. Zhao, and now Mr. Zhao wants to reconcile with him, of course he is unwilling. Without Mr. Zhao's business support, he cannot continue to read.

Mrs. Zhao insisted on reuniting, so he had no choice but to kill him. If Mrs. Zhao committed suicide, the family business could only be held in his own hands.

"I have studied poetry and books for many years because of you dog officials!"

"What kind of bullshit county magistrate, bullshit county magistrate, will only entrap us scholars' money, and the high fees will keep us out."

"Others buy fame with money, but poor students like us, without money, will never be able to pass the exam!"

He loudly reprimanded Nie Mingli, it was a dead end anyway, he must vent all his inner dissatisfaction.

Yuan Baishan stood next to him, still shocked by the truth he revealed. It is necessary to guard against others and not to have the intention of harming others.

Only now did he really realize that Li Zhong was completely different from him.

Nie Mingli, who was scolded as a dog official, tightened the corners of his lips, and he felt Yuan Yuan's feeling when he was scolded as a liar.

Yuan Yuan euphemistically mentioned the high examination fee to him, and he took it to heart, so he knew how the former county magistrate made huge profits from the county examination.

No matter how expensive the examination fee is, it will cost less than ten taels of silver, and this does not include the cost of accommodation and meals.

The students participating in the test really shouldn't be trapped by this stumbling block, so after he knew the truth, he immediately negotiated with the county magistrate to solve the problem immediately.

"Li Zhong, you have been taking the exam for ten years, and you failed many times. You only said that it was because of the high cost of the exam, but have you ever thought that your own problem is also very big."

"Your articles are full of resentment and anger, and you have lost your early ambitions. Why don't you think about your own abilities? You can't blame others for your failure. It's all caused by yourself."

"As for the examination fee you mentioned, this officer has already settled the matter. This year, the examination fee is only one tael. It's just that the time has not come and no notice has been issued."

"What?" Li Zhong opened his eyes wide in horror, unable to believe what Nie Mingli said.

When Yuan Baishan heard the words, he saluted gratefully: "Your Excellency's action can be said to save hundreds of students in Jiuqu Town from the dire straits!"

One tael of silver is already great news compared to before.

Nie Mingli: "This is just what I should do as a county magistrate."

Li Zhong's brain was going to explode, he was still obsessed with the sentence that the participation fee was only one tael... only one tael...

He smiled embarrassedly, and then burst into tears with a smile: "Why didn't you tell the news earlier, if you had told me earlier, I wouldn't..."

He looked at his trembling hands. If he had known the news, maybe he would not have committed murder. He still has many chances, and he will definitely pass the exam!

"There is a fixed time for the release of the notice every year. It will be announced when it should be announced. Even if the official said it earlier, can it stop the evil root that keeps spreading in your heart? Your heart has long been deceived. "

Nie Mingli was not moved by his words at all, he would not be kidnapped by morality.

There is no medicine for regret in the world, and you have to bear the burden of your own mistakes. How can you think of refusing to blame others, and blame everyone and everyone all day long, blaming this and that, but not thinking about yourself.

Nie Mingli's words hit Li Zhong's heart hard.

His heart was darkened from the time he started thinking what he shouldn't have, and he became a vicious person long ago when he tried to exonerate himself.

He knelt in the courtroom in despair, and Nie Mingli pronounced Li Zhong's crime in public.

"Li Zhong's murder of his wife is a heinous crime, and he is sentenced to be hanged!"

Li Zhong's life was reserved for him until Qiu Hou, and during the period before the execution, his life would not be more comfortable than Hang Lijue, and the delay of this time was a kind of torture to him.

Perhaps he could see other students successfully passing the exam and preparing for the next exam happily, but what awaited him was the approaching death time.

All his ambitions were gone.

Yuan Baishan successfully escaped from this case. Yuan Yuan was worried that his third brother would be depressed for a while, but unexpectedly, he had more fighting spirit and gained new insights.

Even the articles written by Yuan Baishan on weekdays have been elevated to a higher level.

Perhaps one day he will be able to do his part to help the needy people after he has obtained his fame, just like what Nie Mingli did.

……

But with one thing on his mind, Yuan Yuan planned to go to Taizhou Mansion as soon as possible, not only to check on his second brother's recent situation, but also to sell the medicinal herbs hoarded in the space, which would be used as funds for the future construction of Taoist temples.

It was Shimen's property. She was young and it was inconvenient to sell it by herself, so she brought the silver fruit with her.

On the way to Taizhou, Yuan Yuan also told Yinguo about Li Zhong's incident, and took advantage of this case to give Yinguo a vaccination.
