The sickly prince is pretending to be weak again

Chapter 503 Then why do you insist that I am a murderer?
Nan Linghan stared at him, and lifted his lips lightly, "Then, when the body was found, did you see me at the scene?"

The boy was startled, then shook his head, "No."

Nan Linghan's eyes darkened, and his handsome face showed a bit of coldness, "Since there is no one, why do you insist that I am a murderer?"

The little servant was so frightened that he trembled again, and hurriedly defended, "Son, I never said that you are a murderer, but everyone said that you had a quarrel with the prince..."

He was interrupted on the spot by Nan Linghan just after he finished speaking, "Are you going to kill someone after a quarrel? Your magistrate, do you usually judge cases like this?"

"Bold!" The county magistrate was momentarily speechless by his rhetorical question, and said guiltily, "As the saying goes, there are no waves without wind, and there will be no wind from holes. Everyone believes that you are the murderer, so there is a reason for it!"

"Oh?" Nan Linghan twitched the corners of his lips, and asked Youyou, "Dare to ask my lord, what is the reason?"

"This, this..." The county magistrate was stopped by his words on the spot, and he was speechless for a long time, but he didn't say anything.

"My lord, if you can't even tell the reason, can you think so? Maybe the murderer deliberately spread the news about my conflict with the prince in order to cover up his crime, so everyone pointed the finger at me. "Nan Linghan speculated in a peaceful tone, seeing the county magistrate's expression loosen, he smiled slightly, and continued, "Maybe the murderer is hiding in a corner and laughing at this time, because everyone has fallen into his trick. "

"This murderer is so courageous!" The county magistrate was completely moved by his words, his face darkened, and he said again, "Come on, let me go to Jue Sefang to search, only the suspicious people should be brought back for questioning!"

Seeing that the county magistrate was swayed by Nan Linghan's few words, the master next to him quickly reminded him in a low voice, "My lord, judging from the current clues, this Mr. Nan is still the biggest suspect. He may have said these words just to replace him. Exonerate yourself."

After thinking about it, the county magistrate felt that it made sense, "That's right! Thanks to you reminding me, master, otherwise I would almost have been fooled by him."

Having said that, he slapped the gavel again, "Prisoner, do you know what kind of punishment is imposed for murder in Luohe Town?"

Nan Linghan met his gaze and replied calmly, "My lord, if there is a murderer in Luohe Town, he will have to parade for three days and three nights and suffer from whipping. If he is beaten three hundred times, If you can still breathe, you will be imprisoned in the prison for life, and you will never see the light of day."

The reason why Luohe Town has been calm for so many years and no one dared to commit crimes was because the punishments in the town were very severe, and no one would be foolish enough to bet everything on murder.

"Since you know so well, why do you still know the law and break the law?"

During the conversation with him, Nan Linghan had already guessed that the county magistrate was a master who ate and waited to die. He took the country's offerings and idled around every day. After all, there had never been a murder case in Luohe Town for so many years. .

As long as there are no accidents during the few years he has been in charge, he can take care of himself after he leaves office.

It's a pity that he was too unlucky that such a big thing would happen when he was about to leave office.

Feng Qingcheng had been listening in all the time, and finally couldn't help but interjected at this moment, "My lord, you keep saying that Mr. Nan is the murderer, but what is the evidence? You are so arbitrary, how can the people dare to let you decide such a big case in the future?"

Upon hearing this, the magistrate immediately became angry, "Who are you? How dare you question my ability?"
