Splendid Pastoral: The system is against the sky

Chapter 87
"Father!" A child yelled outside the courtroom, pushed through layers of crowds, and broke into the courtroom, "Dad, I was rescued! I'm back safely!"

Zhang Wuzuo turned his head excitedly, tears welling up in his eyes instantly.

"Where's your mother?" Zhang Wuzuo asked again.

"Mother was also rescued, Dad, look back, Mother is outside!" the child shouted excitedly.

"Then you, are you not injured?" Zhang Wuzuo looked back at his wife outside the courtroom and asked nervously.

"No!" The child's newborn calf pointed at Mu Jiuyuan fearlessly, and said crisply, "It was the adult who sent someone to save my mother and me, and he even asked the people below to buy candied haws for me to eat!"

When the county magistrate heard this, he was startled, and took a careful look at Mu Jiuyuan.

Mu Jiuyuan can be said to be the king of Hades with a jade face, the famous God of War.

Since the founding of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, the sons of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty have frequently suffered defeats in the northwest and northeast. In just over 150 years, they lost one-third of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty's land.

Before the late emperor passed away, every time war was mentioned, the court was full of gloom and misery.

After the death of the first emperor, the neighboring countries invaded every year, and Mu Jiuyuan, who was pushed to death by the new emperor, could beat them to the ground!
Such a terrifying living Hades will order the people below to buy candied haws for a child?He didn't think the child was noisy, and he let someone kill the child, is it already merciful?

Mu Jiuyuan felt a little uncomfortable at the county magistrate's gaze, and the aura around him suddenly cooled down, causing the county magistrate to turn his head away in fright.

At this time, Mu Jiuyuan was indeed a little embarrassed. Seeing the child's innocent appearance, he thought of the happy look of Su Yaoxue and a group of children in the mountain village eating candied haws. That's why he ordered someone to buy it for the child. The candied haws thing.

This was just a subconscious order, and when he came back to his senses, he was also stunned.

Since meeting Su Yaoxue, he has changed a lot unknowingly. His heart, which was frozen so hard, has softened a little bit.

A person who is as cold as ice and snow is tainted with a little smoke and fire in the world of mortals.

Seeing that his wife and children had been rescued, Zhang Wuzuo finally no longer had any scruples, and he said loudly to the county magistrate: "My lord, two days ago, the housekeeper Liu at the county magistrate's house suddenly found the villain and handed it to the county magistrate." He paid the villain ten taels of silver and asked the villain to help give false testimony, but the villain naturally refused. Butler Liu did not force him that day, but the next day he kidnapped the villain's wife and children and threatened him with this. I can agree. The villain has failed the trust of the adults, please punish the adults!"

Wuzuo in several other counties saw that famous figures like Mr. Cui had undergone autopsies, and Zhang Wuzuo also confessed first, and then followed suit.

After listening to the testimonies of everyone, the magistrate immediately drew a lottery and threw it out: "Come here, bring the suspects Shopkeeper Xue and Steward Liu here!"

"Yes!" The two yamen servants came out and bowed their hands to the county magistrate.

After a while, Shopkeeper Xue and Steward Liu were brought to the court.

The county magistrate slapped the gavel and asked loudly, "Say! Who is the mastermind?"

Shopkeeper Xue glanced at Steward Liu, but Steward Liu gave him a wink, Shopkeeper Xue could only say helplessly: "Report to my lord, Caomin is the mastermind of this matter, Caomin spent money to bribe Steward Liu, and asked him to borrow money from the county. In the name of Master Cheng, coercing others to achieve their goals."

"That's right, it was the grass-roots who saw the money, and the grass-people were convicted!" Liu Butler followed up.

They didn't dare to confess to the county magistrate. If they confessed to the county magistrate, would their families have a good life in the future?
"Shopkeeper Xue, you have no grievances with Su Yaoxue, why did you murder her?" the county magistrate asked sharply.

"It's driven by interests, Cao Min has already realized his mistake! Cao Min will never dare to think about Detai Mihang again!" Shopkeeper Xue really regretted this time, regretting that he didn't know people clearly, but he didn't expect that little girl There is such a big backstage behind the girl!
From now on, he will never dare to provoke her again!

"Okay, since you have pleaded guilty, let's sign and pledge," the county magistrate snorted coldly, "According to the laws of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, murderers will be sentenced to three years in prison; those who have been wounded will be hanged; whoever, cut!
"Come here, after he is charged, immediately take him to the court.

"Zhou Chengye, Xin Laosan, Liu Steward and others, each hit [-] boards! Because they are accomplices, they will be punished for one year!"

In the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, "discipline" was a punishment that deprived criminals of their freedom for a certain period of time and forced them to serve hard labor.

The master drafted several charges, and asked the prisoners to sign and pledge.

Subsequently, Su Yaoxue was found not guilty and released in court.

Outside the arena, there was a burst of cheers, only the county magistrate had a gloomy expression, while the left and right magistrates and the chief secretary were already a little uneasy.

"The county magistrate is so disrespectful to my lord, and wants to sentence Butler Liu and shopkeeper Xue according to the law. Isn't that slapping me in the face?" The magistrate snorted coldly, "Good job magistrate! Good job Su Yaoxue! Let's wait and see!"

When Su Yaoxue walked out, Su Yuanyuan immediately jumped up and threw herself into her arms, hugging her tightly, refusing to let go, the clothes on her chest were wet with tears.

"Sister... Sister, it's great that you are fine!" Su Yuanyuan said with a sob.

"Great, don't cry!" Su Yaoxue wiped his face with her hand, "How old are you still crying?"

Su Yuanyuan hummed, let go of his hand, and smirked, and then said: "Sister, don't worry, I won't let this kind of thing happen again in the future. A big, big official who will protect you for the rest of your life!"

"How big is a big official?" Su Yaoxue joked.

"Be the prime minister!"

"Okay! Ambitious!" Su Yaoxue patted his head.

The guys were also very excited, one by one surrounded her, not knowing what to say.

Ah Qing said: "Shopkeeper, let's go back and boil a pot of grapefruit leaf water for you to get rid of bad luck!"

"Yes, we will pick grapefruit leaves for you now!" Xiao Liu said.

"Let's go back to the rice shop to sell rice first!" Su Yaoxue said.

The people outside the court surrounded the guys and walked towards the gate of the county seat. They were also discussing today's case.

"I knew that girl couldn't be the murderer. You see, only a few people have brains!"

"I think you're an afterthought! Speaking of which, it's true that we didn't think carefully. That girl looks like she came from a poor family. How can there be a poor person who doesn't feel sorry for the poor?"

"That's right! Shopkeeper Xue's three-year sentence is really too little. Why did he want to kill that girl? Why did he want to get Detai Mixing? Isn't it just to make the poor unable to afford food? Or just to force To kill us poor people, if I ask you, he should be beheaded!"
