Chapter 443 Confession
"Don't tell me you accidentally ran into it."

"Just... just accidentally touched it." The arsonist obviously felt guilty.

Fang Zhifu sternly shouted: "Who are you, what is your name, and where do you live?"

"Small, the villain's name is He Da, and his home is...in..." He Da's eyes were wandering, obviously dishonest.

"Hey, it turned out to be He Da from Xinghua Village. Didn't he always wander around the town with Li Dahu in the past? He also collected protection money. We sold eggs in the town without paying him, and he even robbed us."

Aunt Sun's words in the crowd were astonishing. As soon as she said this, He Er, who was kneeling on the ground, turned fierce in an instant, and turned around to stare at Aunt Sun fiercely: "Brother Sun, shut up, believe it or not, I will kill you!" .”

"Tch, you are kneeling in front of the magistrate now. I have a bigger official than you to decide for me, magistrate, right?" Aunt Sun put her hands on her hips and stared back: "I'm afraid you won't succeed."

He Er's face turned pale, and he suddenly recalled his situation, pounced down, and begged for mercy on the ground.

Ji Qingyue smiled a little when she saw Aunt Sun's hmm... she looked like a dog.

As for He Er, he knew at the first sight that he was used to being arrogant in the town, and when Aunt Sun choked him, he subconsciously threatened him.

"This is...?" Fang Zhifu asked Ji Chenyuan.

"It's Aunt Sun from our village. Since she said it, it must be true." Ji Chenyuan had already delayed He Erling a hundred times in his heart, and now he naturally favored Aunt Sun and wanted to kill He Erling.

What's more, he was almost sure that He Er was the one who set the fire.

"He Er, what else do you want to say?" Fang Zhifu knew it well, and this question was just a routine.

"This matter has nothing to do with the villain, please look into it clearly." He Er refused to admit it, but he was still guilty and his teeth were chattering.

"It's really rather stubborn than effective." Fang Zhifu's voice cooled down: "Come here, fetch a basin of water and ask He Er to put his hands in it."

Soon, a yamen servant brought a basin of water. When He Er saw the basin, he subconsciously hid his hands, but was pressed down by the two yamen servants, and stretched desperately into the water.

"Woooooo..." He Er kept struggling.

Li's face turned pale as she watched from the side. She didn't expect He Er to be discovered so quickly. The prefect's methods are so tough. She subconsciously backed away and wanted to sneak away.

But with two servants of Ji's family looking at her, how could she have a chance to escape.

Here, He Er's hand was forcibly put into the water quickly, and a piece of oily light was seen floating on the water. The evidence was solid, and He Er could no longer quibble.

"Detain him and send him back to the county government office. After three days, he will be beheaded for public display."

As soon as Fang Zhifu's words fell, He Er's face turned pale, and he almost didn't mention it: "My lord, please forgive me. The villain is only using money to do things. I didn't intend to burn down the warehouse. My lord, please forgive me."

"Who ordered you?" Fang Zhifu's expression did not change, but he was very gentle.

Seeing hope, He Eryi turned around and pointed desperately at Li Shi: "It was her, she ordered me."

"You fart, when did I order you?" Li Shi was so frightened that he lost all courage, but now he heard He Er's words, and almost passed out.

"It was your son who found me and told me to give me 50 taels. I came here to set the fire. Your Li family is the mastermind. I just use money to do things. Please forgive me. The villain will never dare again." He Er grabbed the straw , testifying against the people of the Li family, "My lord, this is 50 taels that the villain got."

He took out the silver bill from his pocket and handed it to the yamen servant.

Obviously, he understands the situation in the Yamen very well, and frankly, he is lenient and resists strictness. As long as he can survive, he can do anything.

Mrs. Li roared: "He Da, you have no conscience, you have done something wrong and said that it has something to do with our family."

"quiet!"

Fang Zhifu didn't have a gavel, but at the moment he was full of majesty. As soon as he said this, Li's crying stopped instantly, no matter how scared he was, he didn't dare to cry.

"Go and bring the rest of the Li family over."

Some yamen servants left to lead people to Li's house.

Aunt Sun has long been dissatisfied with He Da and Li Dahu, and she stood up enthusiastically to lead the way for the servants.

"Mr. Li, you said that He Da wronged you, but you have evidence." Fang Zhifu asked.

Li shivered and lay on the ground, screaming for grievances, but couldn't explain why.

Yes, this looks like a guilty conscience.

Fang Zhifu didn't want to interrogate Li's family anymore, he just waited to bring the rest of the Li family over for questioning.

The field fell silent for an instant.

Ji Qingyue waved to Aunt Bai and others to show tea to the people present, while she came out and reported to Fang Zhifu: "Master Zhifu, my daughter has something to report."

"What's the matter?" Fang Zhifu has a good sense of Ji Qingyue, after all, the preservation of the grain this time is due to the Ji family's merits, and his face is much softer.

Ji Qingyue replied: "Master Zhifu, before the warehouse was set on fire, my family's servants discovered that Mrs. Li was making trouble in my house. They said they stepped on a beast trap near my house and said they were injured. Let my family be responsible."

"Afterwards, the little girl arranged for a doctor to treat Mrs. Li, only to find that her leg was not injured, and the blood on it was nothing more than chicken blood."

"Secondly, in order to prevent the warehouse from being destroyed, my family not only sent people to guard it, but also set up some traps around it, but there are no animal traps in these traps, but they will make a warning sound when someone with evil intentions approaches the warehouse .”

"Before the arrangement, my family had informed the whole village of the news, just to avoid accidental injury."

"He Er was caught because he ran into a trap in the nearby warehouse. The noise alerted the people, and he was caught afterwards."

"Oh? You actually lied about your injury." Fang Zhifu's face turned cold, and his voice was particularly severe, looking at Li Shi: "Li Shi, how do you explain it?"

"I, I... My leg was really injured. It was Ji Qingyue. She is a miracle doctor. She healed me on purpose. She calculated me on purpose."

"Come here, go up and check." Fang Zhifu waved his hand and asked the government servants to enforce it.

Mrs. Li still struggled not to let the yamen servants see her.

"Mr. Li, if you don't cooperate with the interrogation, you will be punished with ten boards."

Fang Zhifu's words made Li's crying stop, and he almost didn't mention it in one breath.

But she didn't dare to struggle anymore, so she could only ask the servant to tear off her trouser legs and look at her ankles.

"Report to my lord, there is only a little bit of broken skin on this woman's ankle, and the blood is indeed chicken blood as Miss Ji said." The yamen servants have investigated the case for so many years, and it is easy to tell whether it is human blood or chicken blood.

"Mr. Li, you are presumptuous, so don't hesitate to recruit from the truth! If you don't explain it again, you will hit ten boards first, so as to scare others."

Fang Zhifu let out a stern roar, and when Li heard that he was going to hit the board, she dared not hide it, and confide everything in a few words.

"Master Zhifu, I will recruit, I will recruit anything."
