Splendid Pastoral: The system is against the sky

Chapter 86
After the county magistrate went through the ledger, he was furious.

"In broad daylight, the world is bright, such a thing can happen, you troublemakers, you are so helpless!" The county magistrate clapped the account book, pointed at them and asked, "In one night, the gambling debts, Has the usury loan been repaid? You guys are really good at it! Good at it! Hurry up and get it for real!”

"My lord is wronged! My lord is wronged!" Xin Laosan and the others kowtowed and shouted in horror.

"Injustice? The ironclad evidence is like a mountain, and you still call for injustice?" The county magistrate was so angry that his chest heaved violently. He almost offended the prince because of today's unjust, false and wrongly decided. If he lost his black hat, would they be able to afford it?These gangsters are really damned, "The identity of the plaintiff is fabricated, and the identities of the witnesses to prove the identity of the plaintiff are also fabricated. You are simply lawless!"

After the magistrate took a deep breath, he said, "Tell me, what's the matter with you? Didn't I ask the yamen servants to bring witnesses to the village? Why did you bring false witnesses to the court? Huang Ping, Zhao Li, Qiu Dehai... are you sure you went to Shanghe Village, Xiaofeng Village, Daohua Village, Xiaoli Village and Xinyang Village to bring witnesses?"

Those yamen servants were trembling with fright, they looked at each other, but they didn't know how to speak.

"Don't even say it, right? Then hit the fifty-fifty killing stick first! Then take off your official robes and get rid of your official knives!" The county magistrate was so angry that he slapped the gavel again.

Seeing this, Huang Ping had no choice but to kneel down, and took out five taels of silver from his wallet: "Reporting to my lord, the villain was really forced by the situation, so he made such a big mistake! A few hours ago, my lord sent We went to various villages to look for witnesses, but before we left the gate of the county seat, we were stopped by Steward Liu of the county prime minister's mansion. Steward Liu treated us well, and then took us to a remote alley Let us stay here for more than half an hour, and then take away the false witnesses they prepared in advance one after another!"

"I bought you for a mere five taels of silver. You are really worthy of a bowl of rice rewarded by the imperial court. From now on, you don't have to be this yamen servant. You unprincipled people, yamen Never hire!" The county magistrate said in a cold voice.

Huang Ping retreated with a sad face.

Ming Yi continued: "My lord, not only the plaintiff and the person who proved the plaintiff's identity are fake, but even the corpse is fake! Please witnesses to testify!"

One of the servants who went to the court with Boss Tong and the shopkeeper of the pawnshop said: "My lord, Huang Xiaocao, a grassroots man, is the servant of the Song family. Two days ago, Young Master Song gambled in the casino, and he gambled until Yinshi the next morning. At that time, young master Song found an old beggar who had died of illness at the gate of the Song family. He felt very unlucky, so he asked us who lived in the side room to quickly throw the body to the mass grave. When Zhang Ming and I went to the mass grave to dispose of the corpse, we found that they were stealing the corpse!"

Huang Xiaocao pointed to Xin Laosan and the others: "At that time, before dawn, we hid behind the crooked neck tree, and they didn't find us! They stole a total of six corpses from the mass grave, I remember clearly Chu!"

"What corpse was stolen?" the county magistrate asked.

Since the autopsy was completed, the coffin was closed again. If Huang Xiaocao could answer the question, it would prove that he was not lying.

"Stolen a baby male corpse, an adult male corpse, and an adult female corpse..." Huang Xiaocao said slowly while recalling.

Now, the truth became clear, those corpses were indeed not related to the plaintiffs, they were all scattered corpses on mass graves.

"Xin Laosan, what else can you say?" the county magistrate asked.

"We...we have nothing to say..." Xin Laosan's face turned ashen.

"Who ordered you to do this?"

"It's shopkeeper Xue." The plaintiff and the false witnesses said in unison.

The county magistrate snorted coldly, and narrowed his eyes: "Okay, since you have pleaded guilty, then each of you will be punished with [-] boards. The men will be exiled for three years, and the women will be pounded rice for three years!"

"Yes." They said in unison.

Now that the matter has come to an end, the common people outside the court began to discuss again.

"It turns out that everything is just a drama! The plaintiff is fake, the corpse is fake, and the witnesses are fake too. Could it be that the case is also fake?"

"It must be fake! It depends on how you will be exposed as a false witness!"

"Hey, this world is really terrible, it's hard to be a good person! I think it's because Detai Mixing's little boss is too kind, that people kill him!"

……

Sure enough, Ming Yi immediately said: "Do all things, outside the court, there is Mr. Cui, the number one officer in Youzhou, let Mr. Cui do the autopsy!"

The county magistrate was a little surprised and almost stood up.

Mr. Cui's name is in the whole Youzhou, it can be said to be like a thunderbolt.

Prisoner was originally a lowly and lowly profession, but because Mr. Cui had a good skill, he helped the prison officer in Youzhou repeatedly solve strange and important cases, creating legends one after another, and was deeply loved by that prison officer. The prison officer valued him very much. Except for him, the prison officer refused to allow anyone to do an autopsy on the cases he handled. Therefore, wherever he went, he would be respectfully called "Sir".

After Mr. Cui came in, he first saluted the county magistrate, and then asked the yamen servants to open the coffin and start a serious autopsy.

Su Yaoxue looked at Mr. Cui expectantly. She had a premonition that she would be cleared of all charges this time!

After the autopsy, Mr. Cui said to the county magistrate: "My lord, the first female corpse was about 25 to [-] years old, five feet tall, with no obvious trauma, and died of tuberculosis about five days ago; A male corpse..."

After talking about the cause of death of the six corpses, the common people showed such expressions, and then they began to scold those immoral gangsters again!

Workers from other counties lowered their heads one after another, embarrassingly bearing the insults from them.

Zhang Wuzuo of Qingyun County didn't say a word, his face was ashen, the matter has come to this point, he has accepted his fate.

"Zhang Wuzuo, what else do you have to say?" The county magistrate asked angrily and sadly. Over the past few years, he has put more trust in Zhang Wuzuo. Unexpectedly, he would charge money to do such a thing. What a shame! He was so disappointed.

Zhang Wuzuo's lips murmured, but he didn't even utter a word.

"Do you plead guilty?" The county magistrate asked again.

Zhang Wuzuo pursed his lips and remained silent.

"It seems that you won't cry when you see the coffin," the county magistrate stretched out his hand to draw money, "Come here..."
