The system always wants to send me to the heroine

Wow, this is not a complicated murder case, but just a small dispute case. Can't I handle it clearly?

My heart is far from being that strong. I don’t have the indomitable spirit like the superman protagonist who never gives up in the face of any adversity.

I am just an ordinary person. When faced with such a desperate situation, I have thought about giving up and escaping.

Tears welled up in my eyes again.

However, I was so aggrieved that my eyes were blurred with tears, and I seemed to see a familiar figure in the crowd inadvertently.

Yes, it’s the heroine Yun, a little loli.

Why did she come to watch?

Yes, that's what I promised her, that I would be a good official and a good county magistrate who enforces the law impartially.

But now, now.

As if she saw my gaze, Xiao Yunyun waved at me excitedly.

Woohoo, I, I'm going to let the heroine see my embarrassing side again. She trusts me so much, am I going to let her down again?

Chapter 7: Turnaround

The onlookers were so excited for the first time. The county magistrate, known as the "stupid donkey", actually wanted to seek justice for the poor people today.

However, when it came to the most critical moment, others were stunned again.

How could this not make the onlookers anxious?

Amid the anxious shouts of the people, the eyes of a loli were full of interest.

"Your subordinate, there is something I don't understand."

The woman who had been quietly following her asked with a fist clasped.

"Are you asking, why should I spend time training a small county magistrate?"

The woman next to him nodded slightly in response.

She only brought four people, and their host gave them all to the stupid county magistrate.

"Don't you think that although this county magistrate is a little stupid, he is also very interesting and worth training?"

Loli's voice was full of playfulness.

The woman raised her head and looked at the county magistrate who was standing in the courtroom to try a case and was only a head taller than the table. She said, there was nothing interesting at all.

She had seen major trials of corrupt officials and bandits, so what was the point of this small case?

But, she couldn't say it, after all, her master was watching with great interest.

"Haha, look, this little guy's face is red with anxiety, and he looks so angry, isn't he cute?"

The woman had no choice but to look up again as she was told.

What's so cute about it?

Their perspectives are different from those of ordinary people. They have already seen the clues at this moment. The reason why they have not taken the next step is definitely that there is a problem with the evidence in their hands.

He has a weak ability to respond to emergencies and has no experience. If someone else were to try the case and something happened to the evidence, he could simply demand a recess and have the case retried on another day. Why should he be controlled by others?

Not only is it not cute, it's clearly stupid!

But she didn't dare say it, sob.

"Yes, it's very cute!"

Forget it, whatever the master says is what it is, as long as the master likes it.

It was just strange, did the master like this? Why didn't she notice it before?

~~~~~

At this moment, I slowly entered a mysterious state.

The noisy sounds around gradually slowed down, became lighter, and then disappeared and could no longer be heard.

My eyes were completely blank.

Touch, hearing, taste, vision, smell, all these senses seem to have disappeared.

People often say that people who have had poor eyesight since childhood will have better hearing. This is called sensory compensation, which is the ability to enhance another sense when one sense is lost.

At this moment, all my five senses were closed, and all my energy was focused on thinking. I had never felt before and my brain was filled with feelings I had never experienced before.

As the saying goes, a wise man will make a mistake in a thousand considerations, and a fool will gain something in a thousand considerations. If a fool wants to become a wise man, he must consider all gains and losses so that he can turn the situation around in despair.

This is what I am doing at this moment. I abandon my senses and even my emotions to compensate for the rapid running of my brain. I can't even feel the concepts of time and space. Even though I am in the court, I can be as calm as if I were alone.

My desperate situation is that I am about to use the famous painting as evidence to prove the guilt of an innocent person with my own hands.

The crowds at the scene were outraged, and it was inevitable that this move would be an important step in restoring the reputation.

The famous painting is a false evidence tampered by the master.

The most direct way to break the impasse is to prove in court that the evidence is invalid and that it was tampered with by Lawyer Diao.

veto.

There is no way to prove it. Even the fact that I had colluded with Mr. Liu and Mr. Liu cannot be proved. In the entire court, only Wang Chao and four others are my people. The rest are all under the control of Mr. Diao. Even if someone witnessed the prison visits, collusion, and changing of evidence, no one will testify for me.

Conclusion: This evidence must be used immediately to reveal the truth in front of everyone.

However, under my interrogation, at this moment, it is imperative to compare the evidence, which will directly prove the guilt of Mr. Zhang.

In the court, the evidence that I personally asked people to find, the old man's dirty wooden box, attracted too much of my attention.

Once this item was used to compare the famous painting as evidence with the facts said by Old Man Zhang, it was found that it did not match the facts. What Master Diao hoped for would come true.

veto.

Everything seemed to have returned to the starting point.

However, new directions are gradually emerging.

List all the options, reject the wrong ones, and then all that’s left is hope.

When comparing evidence, the target does not necessarily have to be Old Man Zhang’s wooden box!

Consciousness instantly came together and the five senses gradually returned. This mysterious state seemed to last only a few seconds.

But it was enough, and I did see a new breakthrough in it.

The restoration of calligraphy and paintings requires a high level of professionalism; moisture, mildew, stains, insect infestation, and rat bites, etc., can all be causes of damage.

In this short moment, all they could do was simple dust removal and paper patching work. Naturally, the famous painting buried in the broken box had suffered more damage than this, and it would take more than just a short period of time to repair it.

This is not difficult to think of, but I was so nervous and panicked that I was really confused.

Well, this ability is really suitable for me.

I took a deep breath and used both hands to straighten the official hat on my head which had become tilted due to panic.

"Xiao F, you helped me!"

"Alright, stupid host, keep trying, the cheat of this world has been transferred here! (Run away)"

At this most helpless moment, the nasty loli voice in my head actually sounded unusually pleasant to my ears. I sniffed and my voice trembled a little.

With a snap, I slammed the gavel.

"Okay, this county will compare the evidence now!"

I unfolded the famous painting and showed it to everyone in the hall.

"This painting was seen once before in the morning court session of this county. Now it has obvious traces of repairs and dust cleaning. Humph, Master Diao, you are so quick."

"What do you mean, sir? Please don't make false accusations. You must have evidence when speaking in court. Do you, sir, want to go down to court to be a witness?"

Master Diao naturally had an answer long ago, with a cold sneer, as if he had determined that I could not turn the situation around.

"I, a humble commoner, can testify that this painting is indeed different from the one this morning, sir!" Old man Zhang couldn't help but shout.

"You, the client, are going to be a witness too? Shut up! If you continue to yell in court, be careful of being beaten with sticks!"

Master Diao instantly turned hostile and pointed viciously.

How could he be nice to a commoner?

"Master Diao, you don't have to be so fierce. This county is not going to investigate the matter of the famous painting being repaired."

I spoke lightly and pressed Master Diao's finger.

"Oh, the county magistrate has thought it through. Please come in."

"Well, I figured it out."

I smiled, showing my teeth.

He turned to Mr. Liu and pointed his finger.

"Since it is a famous painting, even if it is not priceless, it is not an ordinary piece. With Mr. Liu's wealth, how could he only repair it hastily and keep it until now! This county will compare the evidence. 'Zhang Long', 'Zhao Hu', bring a few people to take out all the calligraphy and painting collections in Mr. Liu's home and compare them with the degree of repair of this painting. This county will be eye-opening today!"

Well, after this, I will summon the best calligraphy and painting restorer in the county to conduct a complete assessment of the storage conditions and damage of the painting. Then, let’s see if he dares to deny it!

"No!!!! Sir, please spare my hidden belongings. I admit my mistake. I confess everything. Please have mercy on me and spare my belongings!!!"

Unexpectedly, Mr. Liu collapsed instantly at this moment.

Hey, but, but I don’t want to embezzle your property???

Chapter 8: Decision

Mr. Liu fell to the ground and started crying.

He did not understand the many changes between the county magistrate and the legal advisors in the yamen, let alone how to try cases. He only knew that the county yamen of Qiyun County was a place that only spoke for those who paid.

It is well known that the county magistrate and the legal advisor are a nest of snakes and rats.

But during the trial today, from his perspective, it was clear that after he had settled the matter, the county magistrate was trying his best to make things difficult for him, and Master Diao was defending him all the time. One was playing the good cop and the other was playing the bad cop.

Having been through a lot in the business world, he knew very well that things were about to change.

He had been wondering what the purpose of the county magistrate's actions was, but now, when he heard that people were going to search his house, he suddenly understood.

The county magistrate thinks it is too little, so he wants more!

This wasn't some major murder case, it was just a minor civil dispute. He was unwilling to pay so much just for a painting worth only a few hundred taels of silver! !

"Okay, okay, since you're willing to talk, just tell the truth."

I scratched my head, not quite understanding.

The trial has gone on till now, and I just made a few threats, but I didn't expect that Mr. Liu, who had done things like bribery and collusion, would be scared like this.

Hmm, I finally managed to use my ultimate move, but before I could even use it, my opponent just clicked on surrender.

Did I think this case was too difficult from the beginning?

You see, he is not a habitual criminal with a long history of crimes, and he did not commit any heinous crimes, so his ability to endure and his expectations may not be that high.

"Old Liu, you, what nonsense are you talking about? How can you go back on your word and break your promise to me?"

Master Diao was caught off guard by this turn of events, and his beard was shaking with anger. When things came to this point, he realized that this was no longer a simple trial of the case, but had turned into a secret contest between him, Master Diao, and the county magistrate.

There was obviously still a lot of room for maneuver, but why did the person who paid him to do the job confess first?

When Mr. Liu was questioned, he just kept begging for mercy, saying that he had elderly parents and young children to support, and could not live without the family property. He kept bowing to Master Diao and kneeling to me.

"Okay, okay, if you have anything to recruit, recruit them now. Don't blame me for not giving you a chance."

Anyway, since he is willing to confess directly, it saves me a lot of trouble. I will be happy and won't let Master Diao cause trouble.

I quickly gave a look to Ma Han who was staring at Master Diao. Ma Han immediately stood beside Master Diao calmly and looked at him coldly, preventing him from taking any further action and also preventing him from leaving.

"I am a poor parent. This matter is indeed my child's fault. Please forgive me, sir..."

Mr. Liu no longer thought about anything else at this moment and explained everything obediently, including the thank-you gift he promised to his lawyer, how he visited the prison, and how he taught his son how to answer in court.

Although he did not understand the law, he knew that his son's crime did not deserve the death penalty.

"Sir, I am guilty. I have failed to educate my children properly. Please forgive me, sir!"

He was so terrified that before I could respond, he immediately bowed to the old man Zhang who was kneeling beside him.

"Brother Zhang, this is indeed a dishonest act on our part. Please be magnanimous and forgive me. How about this? Brother Zhang is short of money for medical treatment. I have learned that this painting is worth 100 taels. Due to improper storage and repair, it can only be pawned for a maximum of 50 taels. I am willing to pay 300 taels of silver to buy this painting, first as an apology, and second as a contribution to Brother Zhang's son's illness. Do you think it's okay?"

When Old Man Zhang heard that he could get 300 taels of silver for his medical treatment and life-saving money, his face immediately showed joy.
