It's time for a showdown, all the powerful officials in Beijing are my students!

Chapter 315 Chapter 314: When begging for mercy failed, Magistrate Lu became cruel

"It's better for Sister An to ask Brother Si and the others to find a little beggar who often begs on the street to lead the way. Sure enough, they caught the bastard Erdan in a gambling room to testify."

Gongsun Lanyue looked at An Xin with admiration and said, "Let us find someone to discuss in front of the outer room door that Ma Dahe's plan to murder the original Fang family was exposed, so that he would be frightened and uneasy and run away with Xinruan..."

At this time, Wang Ergou, who was beaten twenty times outside the yamen, was holding 100 taels of silver in his hand. He didn't know how to be happy that the man kept his promise and did not lie to him. As long as he came to testify, he would give him the money.

Or should he be sad and angry and be sentenced to one year of hard labor in the quarry by the female officer because he was an accomplice because he knew that Ma Dahe was going to harm others.

It depends on whether he is willing to testify and shows remorse before he is given a lighter sentence.

In the lobby, County Magistrate Lu watched An Xin quickly smooth out the verdict. Ma Dahe framed the case of stealing his wife's wife and acted swiftly, decisively and without any sloppiness.

Judgment of the sentence, punishment of the punishment, everyone was taken down.

Seeing that An Xin didn't mention him for a long time, Magistrate Lu felt lucky again, thinking that maybe An Xin might take into account that he was also an official appointed by the imperial court.

Even if he had to be punished, he would probably have to wait until she returned to Beijing before reporting the matter to the court.

That way he would have enough time to deal with it and use the gold, silver and jewels he had received over the years to bribe other officials to hide the matter.

Even if he is dismissed from his post when the time comes, the money he has collected over the years will be enough for him to live comfortably in the future.

However, his delusion was quickly broken by An Xin's words.

"Come here, capture this official from the previous dynasty and send it to the prefect of Fucheng to have him identified and sentenced as a remnant of the previous dynasty."

Magistrate Lu was so frightened by what An Xin said that he almost fell to the ground with his legs weak.

"You...you are talking nonsense." Magistrate Lu said, "How can I be an official left over from the previous dynasty?"

"Even if you are Mr. Li who patrols the capital on behalf of the sky, you cannot slander this county magistrate casually."

An Xin was stunned for a moment before he reacted.

Looking at Magistrate Lu faintly, it turned out that this magistrate did not cause trouble when he passed him and took over the case where Fang was framed by Ma Dahe.

He thought that he was Li Ziyu who came down to inspect officials and government affairs in various places in compliance with the order.

An Xin smiled and did not explain, and said calmly: "Then tell me, it is written in the law of Daqian that when the government beats the prisoner, his clothes need to be stripped off as punishment."

"This... this..." Magistrate Lu could say that he saw that although Fang's complexion was sallow and thin, she still had some color, and he had a bad taste, so he made a casual judgment like that.

I'm afraid that if he dares to speak out his thoughts in such a big way now, this female officer, who is also a woman, will be even more angry.

Magistrate Lu was also a cunning man. There was a flash of cunning in his eyes, and he defended: "Based on this alone, my lord, we cannot just say that this official is an official of the previous dynasty, you slander."

"Oh!" An Xin's expression did not change at all because of Magistrate Lu's retort, and he still looked at him with a calm expression, "The punishment for Fang's unfaithful husband is riding a wooden horse and stripping off his clothes. It is a law that existed only in the previous dynasty.

As far as I know, these two criminal laws, which were extremely unfriendly to women, were abolished after the founding of Daqian.

You use the laws of the previous dynasty to judge my people in Dagan. You are not a remnant of the previous dynasty, who are? "

An Xin's words were deafening, and Magistrate Lu took a few steps back in horror. He raised his head and looked at the chair in the middle of the lobby sitting under the high mirror with fearful eyes.

An Xin, who looked majestic at this time, was really scared.

With a "plop", Magistrate Lu fell down and knelt down in the middle of the hall, "Sir... Sir, please spare me this time."

"I...I have money. As long as you can give up your official position, I am willing to give you all the money I have collected over the years." An Xin looked at Magistrate Lu, whose eyes were beginning to panic and his words were incoherent, and shook his head, " If I had known today, why bother in the beginning.

Do you know how many people and families in Fengshan County you have harmed because of your greed~"

Magistrate Lu saw An Xin's determination, so a cold light flashed in his eyes, he stood up suddenly and smiled sinisterly, "Since you are unwilling to let me go, then don't even think about leaving here."

An Xin and the others couldn't help but shake their heads when they saw the viciousness in Magistrate Lu's eyes.

He would not think that the guards they brought were the same ones that Chen Qibao brought into the lobby just now.

And even if there were not the hundreds of guards diagonally opposite the Yamen, not to mention the two powerful men An Xin and Zheng Xiaoling.

Even Liu Boxing, Chen Qibao, Si Wei... each of them has two brushes in their hands, and they are not afraid of the gangsters Wang Dahai has taken into his inspection camp.

Magistrate Lu knew that the criminal law he was trying to impose today was indeed only available in the previous dynasty.

He also felt that his life was boring, so he wanted to watch something interesting. Unexpectedly, he met An Xin, a bunch of nosy people.
If this matter is brought to light, not only will the black hat on his head be unsafe, but even his head may have to be moved, and his family will be affected.

So Magistrate Lu finally thought that he would die with An Xin and the others.

Wang Dahai was originally an impulsive person without a bright mind. He had already found An Xin and others displeasing to him, so he was ordered by Magistrate Lu to lead an inspection camp of hundreds of soldiers.

He went to capture An Xin and the others whether they were dead or alive. He didn't even think about killing the court officials. Wang Dahai actually went to call for people because of the serious consequences.

The people who were watching the excitement at the door also left one after another after the trial of the case was completed. Those who were bold and wanted to see the follow-up were scared away by Wang Dahai's fierce look.

Du Yang and Yue Pengfei, who had been waiting outside the Yamen to see the situation for a long time, heard that it was okay, and quickly led people towards the Yamen lobby.

An Xin saw the people walking in with a calm expression. He took out the Golden Dragon Token that Emperor Sheng'an never mentioned and took it back, and said calmly:
"Magistrate Lu of Fengshan County not only used the laws of the previous dynasty to sentence my Daqian people, but now he also assassinates me."

"Liu Boxing, commander of the fifth rank of the Imperial City."

"My subordinate is here." Liu Boxing walked to the middle of the lobby, clasped his hands in his fists, and bent over his luggage.

"Imperial guard Chen Qibao."

Chen Qibao stepped forward and clasped his fists: "This is my humble duty."

An Xin: "Any attackers will be punished as remnants of the previous dynasty and killed."

When everyone heard An Xin calling out the official positions of Liu Boxing and Chen Qibao, they all looked at them in surprise.

I thought to myself that one is the fifth-level commander of the imperial city, and the other is the imperial guard. They both claim to be subordinates and hold low positions. How high must the official position of the person sitting in the lobby be? !

Hearing An Xin say that if he attacks them, he will be regarded as a remnant of the previous dynasty, all the soldiers in the inspection camp were shocked.

At this time, Wang Dahai called in, and the soldiers from the inspection camp who were about to swarm An Xin and others hesitated.

They looked at Du Yang and Yue Pengfei who were following them. These two military attachés had been patrolling in Fengshan County for many years and could definitely show them a clear path.

Du Yang and Yue Pengfei looked at each other and sighed, knowing that not all Wang Dahai's men were bad people.

So he shook his head at them, and the soldiers, who understood clearly, silently took back their weapons and exited the Yamen lobby.

Only a few dozen gangsters and scoundrels who used to follow Wang Dahai on the street and were later packed into the inspection camp were left, pointing weapons at An Xin and the others.
