The system always wants to send me to the heroine

At night, the Qiyun County Court turned on the lights and began the night trial.

The three suspects were brought to the court at night. They were all more or less frightened and confused, but what made my head hurt was that the old woman with the loud voice actually followed her son closely.

We didn't catch her.

"Sir, please spare my life, sir. I have always said that this woman is a jinx and will bring bad luck to her husband. I am not wrong. It is this woman who has harmed the man. It has nothing to do with my son, sir!"

Before, on the street, the old woman’s roar would attract countless passers-by to watch. But now, in the semi-closed environment of the court, her crying and shouting made my ears buzz with pain.

"You swordsman, you damned unlucky star, not only did you kill your husband who hadn't even married yet, but you're also trying to harm my son. What on earth are you thinking?"

The old woman's attitude towards Qinghe was the same as before. When they met, she even cursed him openly in the court, which stunned Zheng Tu and his daughter.

Wow, her ability to curse and throw tantrums is really scary. If she starts to make a scene, how can I try this case?

"Come here, slap this bitch in the face, knock out all her teeth, and see if she dares to roar in court again!"

Before I could give an order, Xiao Yunyun shouted loudly.

However, this was just to scare her. How could Xiao Yunyun care about an old woman? As soon as Wang Chao raised his hand, the old woman's arrogance immediately wilted. She bent her body and crawled on the ground, begging for mercy with her son, and dared not talk nonsense again.

After all, it wouldn't do if she really couldn't speak, because I still had to collect evidence from them.

Well, now is a good opportunity, I quickly took a picture of the wood.

"You said Qing He killed her husband before he married her? How can you say that? Tell the truth!"

Taking advantage of Xiao Yunyun's influence, I quickly asked.

Huhu, when Xiao Yunyun arrested someone, she didn't tell him the reason. Although this old woman was cursing in the class, she pointed out the most crucial issue.

Only those who are guilty of something will always remember the bad things they have done.

"Sir, I am not slandering her. I saw it. About four months ago, her fiancé died. The funeral procession passed by my house. There were people blowing trumpets and throwing white paper. It was a big scene!"

The old woman gestured as she spoke, describing the scene vividly.

Hmm, it turns out that Butcher Zheng did not hide the fact that her daughter's fiancé had died. Not only that, it seemed that he even held the funeral with great fanfare.

"I mean, what basis do you have to say that she killed someone? If you give false testimony in court without any basis, you know the consequences, right?"

I saw through the old woman's tough exterior but timid heart, so I continued to scare her on purpose.

"Please spare me, sir. I have been too talkative. After I learned the identity of the deceased, I remembered that my son had been good friends with that woman since childhood, so I went to a master to check her horoscope. There is no doubt that she will be unlucky, sir!"

The old woman swore.

My veins are jumping out of my chest. Wow, I shouldn't have asked her. She is such a superstitious and crazy old woman. She even hired a liar on the street to make her son believe her stories!

Hmm, you’re intimidating the wrong person. She knows nothing at all.

Seeing her son kowtow and beg for mercy again, while the old woman herself looked like she didn't know what she had done wrong, I couldn't help but be speechless.

"Husband-killing, Miss Qinghe, do you have anything to say?"

Xiao Yunyun suddenly spoke, and I looked at her and blinked.

What logic does this make? There is no need to refute such incomprehensible nonsense, right?

"I have nothing to say. My late husband did have a relationship with me, but it just wasn't meant to be. I guess that's my fate."

Qinghe shook her head, apparently she was already used to such slanderous words.

"What if I say that the scholar Li Badou was murdered?"

Xiao Yunyun suddenly spoke and got straight to the point.

The shocked expressions of the crowd caught my eye.

Hmm, I can’t tell. The expressions are almost the same.

"Hahahaha, so that's it. I understand. I finally understand the magistrate's intention of arresting me and my daughter in the middle of the night!"

Butcher Zheng suddenly stood up with laughter.

"Well, what do you mean?"

My face turned cold and I looked at him steadily.

"May I ask, sir, I don't know anything about what happened four months ago, so how do you know?"

Butcher Zheng's questions contained a hint of mockery and questioning.

"Oh, it seems that you and Li Xiucai's father did go to the underworld in your early years, and you still have a lot of gangster spirit. As for the suspicion of homicide, I opened the coffin and conducted an autopsy today, and I have found out everything!"

I answered with great vigor.

"I can see that you have done a lot of research. May I ask who the murderer is? Do you think it was done by Zheng?"

Zheng Tu continued to ask questions.

The murderer was a gangster. Judging from Li Badou's height and the damaged skeleton, he attacked from the front. He must be a very tall man with big hands, who practiced martial arts and loved to visit brothels. The girl had seen him before but did not recognize him, which shows that he was not wearing a mask and was not afraid of exposing his identity. It can be inferred that he was an outsider.

"No, the person was not killed by the people present, but the suspicion of hiring a killer cannot be ruled out."

I shook my head.

"That's it. My Lord, why did you bring my family here instead of looking for the murderer? Could it be that our great judge, Lord Li, wants to use us as the scapegoat?"

Butcher Zheng spoke louder and louder, obviously quite proud of himself.

"What's more, since ancient times, there have always been defendants and plaintiffs in court trials. I would like to ask Lord Li, who sued my family? Why don't you invite me to meet you?"

Seeing that I didn't answer, Zheng Tu thought I was speechless and became more aggressive, as if I was deliberately making things difficult for him.

Unfortunately, I was smart enough to have thought of it long ago. Before the trial, I specially prepared some small things to deal with the problem of no plaintiff.

"Of course there is a plaintiff. Hum, why do you think this county chose to try the case late at night?"

I straightened my chest and stood up, then slowly unfolded a piece of white paper on the table. On it was written the word "injustice" in bright red.

Isn't it scary under the cover of the dark night and the gloomy wind?

"See? The plaintiff of this county is Li Badou himself. This is the complaint he handed to me in my dream. Even if there is only one word on the complaint, this county will investigate it thoroughly!"

As soon as I finished speaking, a cold wind blew and I shivered violently.

When I came to my senses, the atmosphere in the classroom had become tense.

Hey, didn’t I scare anyone?

Like, gee, just a bad joke?

"Ha, what are you pretending to be? Are you the county magistrate, or a Taoist priest who summons ghosts?"

Sure enough, Zheng Tu didn't believe it at all and pointed at me and sneered.

Messed up.

Wow, although the complaint is fake, what I said is clearly the truth!

Chapter 42: Revealed

I quickly turned around and quietly asked for help to Xiao Yunyun with a pitiful look.

Well, it would be troublesome if I, the majestic county magistrate, lose face here.

"Zheng Tu, let me ask you, when did Li Badou come to your house to seek refuge? Was it the seventh day of the third lunar month?"

It was Xiao Yunyun’s clear voice, which did not disappoint me.

"So what?"

Zheng Tu replied loudly.

"At that time, he was wearing a patched coarse cloth gown, and his bag contained nothing but a few books, right?

Li Badou likes Zheng Qinghe very much. He always spares no effort to please you. He often uses the small change he saves to buy street snacks and gifts to make you happy, right?"

Xiao Yunyun asked one question after another, from Zheng Tu to Zheng Qinghe. Listening to the trivial family matters being constantly talked about by outsiders, the father and daughter looked at each other and finally changed color.

There is no help in the house and the man has been dead for four months. Where did this lawyer hear these things?

"I and your Excellency witnessed this with our own eyes. Li Badou died unjustly, but he came back to life and made a complaint in person before your Excellency. His clothes and speech were exactly the same as when he was alive."

Before they could guess, Xiao Yunyun lowered her voice and explained in a sinister tone.

There is a chance. I quickly gave Xiao Yunyun a grateful look.

"Humph, do you think this county magistrate would be so bored as to dig up someone else's grave for no reason? Don't forget, Mr. Li is all alone and has no relatives or friends. How can I know about his affairs?"

I finished off.

As if to echo what I said, in the dark night outside the house, there were suddenly several howling of wild cats, which sounded as eerie as a baby crying. Combined with the atmosphere in the hall, with gusts of cold wind, the faces of several people below the hall changed drastically.

"Wow!!!! Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva, Namo Amitabha, Long live Jesus, God bless you, all the fighters are lined up in front, pineapple, pineapple..."

The first one to lose control was the old woman. Before she could finish her words, she closed her eyes and fainted from fright.

What kind of all-round prayer is this? Do you think that if you pray to gods too much, one of them will appear?

I smacked my lips and couldn't help but sigh.

The more fearful a person is, the more he will believe in superstitions about ghosts and gods. If someone really wants to take someone's life, how can ghosts and gods do anything to him?

There were three people in the audience. The butcher and Qinghe looked at each other. No one knew what the father and daughter were communicating with their eyes. After the old woman fell down, the young man who had been timid originally collapsed on the ground. He only dared to stay beside his mother and looked around.

Phew, at this point, the identity of the murderer is obvious.

This young man was eliminated first. I still remember clearly how he knelt at my feet on the street. Although I looked down on such men, it has now become the basis for clearing him of suspicion.

He was too cowardly to even overcome his mother's protests for the sake of his love, so how could he kill a shark for her?

Zheng the butcher was the one who spoke the most fiercely in the hall just now and contradicted me without any courtesy. It was not because of his gangster nature. I guess he had realized something. If his son-in-law was murdered and it was not done by him, there could only be one possibility.

That's why he made things difficult for me and didn't want to find out who killed his son-in-law.

Well, from what I saw, after Zheng Tu learned that his son-in-law visited prostitutes and was rumored to have died of a stroke while riding a horse, he still arranged a funeral for him that was not cheap. We went to dig up the grave, and we could also tell from the choice of coffin that he was not killed by a shark and was buried hastily.

Although Zheng Tu looked down on this poor scholar's son-in-law, he did not lack him. Otherwise, if he wanted to, he could make up countless reasons to embarrass this poor boy who wanted to marry his daughter, let alone kill him.

My cold gaze finally turned to the silent Miss Qinghe.

"Miss Qinghe, why do you have to keep hiding? Since this county has personally questioned the late Li Xiucai, we will naturally know that it was you who hired someone to kill him."

Simple reasoning, there is no need to even use plug-ins.

"No, you are talking nonsense. How could my daughter harm my son-in-law? Even if the others are not suspects, it is impossible that someone else came to seek revenge on Li Xiucai and found Qiyun all the way!"

This was what Zheng Tu feared the most, and he shouted out excitedly at this moment.

I sighed slightly and shook my head.

"Of course it's impossible. You, Zheng Tu, have also been in the underworld, right? Why would someone in the underworld kill his enemies without cutting them into pieces and leaving their bodies lying on the streets? Why would they have to shatter their hearts, kill them secretly, and then take them to a brothel, leaving them with the stigma of being a brothel owner?"

"Then why couldn't he have killed her? He, he was also in the court..."

Zheng Tu pointed at the young man, but knew he was being unreasonable and couldn't continue.

Just now he had a look that no one could stand, but Zheng Tu finally couldn't hold on any longer, his legs went limp, and he sat on the ground.

I understand that he wants to protect his daughter. Qinghe is his only relative.

But Qinghe is the real murderer, and I have to do it.

"Daddy, I'm sorry. It was my daughter who did this."

Qing He smiled miserably and knelt in front of Zheng Tu.

"You, what did you say?"

Although Zheng Tu had guessed most of it in class, when his daughter admitted it herself, he still hoped that he had heard it wrong.

"It was my daughter who did it. She hated Li Badou so much that she had no choice but to kill him."

"You hate him? But, but he treats you well with all his heart. Daddy sees it. He likes you so much and loves you so much!"

Zheng Tu became a little anxious and held his daughter's shoulders tightly with both hands.

"Who wants his kindness? Who cares about his kindness? I already have my own sweetheart and my own happiness. Who could have expected that someone like this would fall from the sky and marry me just based on one sentence? Ha, the funny thing is that I can't refute or refuse. Daddy actually wants to marry me to such a poor boy!"

Qing He's voice was as calm as ever, but Zheng Tu, a muscular man, also cried along with his daughter.

"But this is a promise Dad made in his early years. Dad has no choice. Dad can't be a heartless and ungrateful person and can't break his promise to my deceased brother!"

"Daddy, why did you make a promise with your daughter? There is nothing wrong with your deep brotherly love, but do you have to make a promise that will destroy your daughter's happiness? I have been the apple of your eye since I was a child. I have never lacked anything, not to mention fine clothes and delicious food. Just because of Daddy's words, I have to spend the rest of my life with such a beggar. Is this fair to me? How can I accept this?"

Qing He became more and more excited as she spoke, and her calm self finally changed color and she burst into tears.
