The System Forces Me to Be the Emperor

Chapter 72: : The truth is out

   Wu Zhanfa captured the county lieutenant, Xiao Rui and Zhuge Liuying returned to Qiuyang County.

   Entering the county seat, the people were in an uproar, because what did they see?

   The county lieutenant is like a dog, bound by a rope and led by a **** man. Is this walking the dog?

   The common people all talked and pointed, and their faces showed sarcasm and sneer. Xiao Rui saw it in his eyes. It seemed that the reputation of the county lieutenant was extremely bad, and the people complained in their hearts.

   On the way back, Xiao Rui thought about what happened before and after, and had already made a preliminary judgment, only to see the old county magistrate before making a conclusion.

   came to the county office, and the old county magistrate, who was rushed out after hearing the news, saw the humiliated catchers and united soldiers. Although they were armed with weapons, they were hanging behind them like bereaved concubines. The county lieutenant was **** with a rope, and his face was pale and colorless, and all this was caused by the three Xiao Rui who helped him suppress the bandits.

   "You... this..." The old county magistrate pointed to Xiao Rui, and there were some trapped people who didn't know what to say.

   Xiao Rui asked: "My lord county magistrate, I will kill the bandits for your county. I just left, I was wronged and killed the county prince, my lord, this kind of behavior is not authentic!"

The old county magistrate said: "It's not that the officer is not authentic, but the county lieutenant ordered you to conduct an investigation. The knife and wounds inflicted on Wangxian Cheng's death came from your weapons, so I ordered the county lieutenant to chase you and try to capture you alive. I want to bring you back to investigate carefully. If it wasn't for your actions, I would naturally return you innocent."

   Xiao Rui glanced at the county lieutenant, and Wu Zhanfa kicked the lieutenant in the back and made him kneel.

   The nodes of the problems before and after all came from the county lieutenant, so naturally he has the biggest problem.

   "Lord county magistrate, why don't you go to the court for interrogation, the three of us are willing to prove our innocence." Xiao Rui smiled.

   The old magistrate nodded and said, "Okay!"

   Immediately, the old county magistrate ordered the promotion to the court to open the trial.

   When Xiao Rui accompanied the old county magistrate to enter, he vaguely showed him a token. The old county magistrate almost knelt in fright and was supported by Wu Zhanfa, which did not show it.

   "Find out the real murderer, don't reveal my identity for now." Xiao Rui whispered.

  The old magistrate wiped his sweat and nodded seriously.

   Everyone came to the Yamen lobby, the old magistrate took the seat, a group of gavel, shouted: "Shengtang!"

   "Mighty..." Yamen on both sides uttered.

   At this time in the hall, there were three Xiao Rui, the county lieutenant, Xu Zhubo, Wu Zuo, and witnesses from Wang Xiancheng's house.

Hao Zuo and the witnesses knelt, and the county lieutenant was **** and walked all the way. He was humiliated. At this time, he naturally attacked Xiao Rui and shouted to Xiao Rui, "Xiao Qirui, the magistrate, why don't you kneel? Do you despise the court? "

Before Xiao Rui could speak, the old county magistrate banged on the gavel and shouted: "Shut up! Kneel, why don't you kneel! Xiao... Master Qi Rui is kind to the county, and he is not allowed to salute. Witnesses in the hall, the official will ask you. , When was Wang Xiancheng killed?"

   The witness was a middle-aged servant. He trembled and said, "Returning to Master Qingtian, probably at the end of the day and the dawn of the sky, the three of them sneaked into the mansion and killed my master."

  The old county magistrate asked again: "When they attacked, did you see it with your own eyes?"

   "Yes, sir. They didn't have a mask. I was hiding in the dark and saw it with my own eyes!" The eyewitness seemed scared, and kept peeking at the county lieutenant.

Xiao Rui smiled, clasped his fists, and said, "My magistrate, our weapons were handed over to the Yamen Makers yesterday, and they were returned only after a quarter of a quarter. Is it possible that we stole the weapons and killed them? This is the first time. A suspicious point."

   "The second doubt, we have no grudges with Xian Cheng, why should we kill him?"

   "The third question is, when we kill, why don't we cover our faces? Tell people deliberately that I am the murderer?"

   The magistrate of the county magistrate thought for a while, and found that these three suspicious points were suspicious, and immediately reprimanded: "The witness in the hall, do you know the cost of perjury?"

   The eyewitness was shaking with fright.

At this time, the county lieutenant gang said: "Return to your lord, the three doubts that Xiao Qirui said are not suspicious. He knows that weapons are in the workshop and deliberately steals and kills people to cover people's eyes. As for whether you and Wang Xiancheng have hatred, we It’s not clear. As for the fact that you don’t cover up to kill, it also shows that you are rampant, thinking that there is nothing wrong with killing, but you don’t want to have eyewitnesses."

   Xiao Rui looked at the county lieutenant coldly and saw that he had a gangster look, and the more he understood that the problem was him, so he asked the county magistrate: "My lord, let me ask a few witnesses."

   Talking, walked to the witness, and asked: "You said I killed Wang Xiancheng, did I hold a knife in my left hand or a knife in my right hand?"

   "Right hand..." the witness said.

   Xiao Rui smiled, "I was injured on my right hand yesterday, and I am good at the left hand. You are lying!"

   The eyewitness hurriedly changed his words: "My lord, I was scared and silly at the time. I may not be able to see clearly."

"If you can't see clearly, you can see my face clearly? What's more, killing an ordinary person is worth the three of us at the same time?" Xiao Rui said sarcastically, "The united soldiers and the capture fast are fully armed, and they can't hold the three of us. , Do we need to shoot at the same time? Your magistrate, please give me a lesson."

   The old county magistrate is not stupid. He also saw that there was a problem with the witnesses. He immediately ordered the servants to be severely tortured to extract a confession. The soldiers said, "The witnesses in the hall, you have to think clearly. If you don't tell the truth anymore, you will be tortured!"

   The county lieutenant wanted to join the team again, but the old county magistrate shouted: "County lieutenant, you retreat! If this person is not recruited, he will be killed!"

   The yaman immediately suppressed the witness with a water and fire stick, scared him to be lost. Suddenly, a ya servant raised a fire and water stick and hit his ass, slap...

   "My lord, I'll do it, I'll do it!" The eyewitness couldn't bear it after only being beaten with a stick, and wailed and confessed.

   The old county magistrate raised his head, stopped the penalty, and asked: "Carry on the truth!"

   The witness pointed to the county lieutenant and said, "It was the county lieutenant who made the villain say this, it was him!"

   The county lieutenant’s face was gloomy and sunny. He originally thought that by taking people out, he would be able to slay three people on the grounds of arrest, but he didn't expect to fall short, and his plan was revealed at this time.

However, the county lieutenant’s brain turned quickly and he immediately clasped his fists and said: "My lord, the officer convicted. When we discovered that Wang Xiancheng was murdered, we did not see the real culprit, but the evidence showed that the three of them were suspected, so in order not to let this go. The three real murderers made this decisive move."

   "Huh, knowing the law and breaking the law, the officer is punishing you!" The old county magistrate glared at the county lieutenant, then his face changed, and he smiled and said to Xiao Rui: "Three, there is insufficient evidence, you are acquitted."

Xiao Rui smiled and said, "This matter is not over yet! The magistrate, the death of the county prime minister is not a trivial matter. If you don't find out, how can you explain to the court? It is better to interrogate the bandit leader's wife severely. Maybe you can get the truth from her! I! Suspect, the collusion with the bandits is not the head-catcher Ma Dong!"

"No!" The county lieutenant shouted immediately: "The death of the county prime minister, why do you want to interrogate the bandit leader's wife? Isn't this a mess, sir, although the three of them are acquitted, they are still suspected. What's more, the yamen do things. How can it be allowed for traffickers and pawns to join in, sir, the next official should apply to expel them."

   The old county magistrate also saw that the county lieutenant’s voice was restrained, so he sent a startle and shouted: "Come here, the wife of the bandit leader!"

   Soon, the woman was forced into court.

   Seeing that Xiao Rui's three people are safe, resentment appeared on the woman's pitiful face.

Xiao Rui thought about it, and felt that he would be wronged by the county lieutenant. In the final analysis, it was a matter of the bandit. From this point of view, the person who colluded with the bandit was not as simple as the nephew of the county lieutenant~www.wuxiahere.com~ It seems that he was also deceived by mercy. Up.

   "The criminal woman in the hall, actually recruited, who is in the yamen who colluded with Er and others!" The old county magistrate blew his beard and exclaimed.

   The woman was pitiful and kept kowtow, still pointing out that it was Ma Dong.

   The old county magistrate was furious, and he immediately served him with a severe punishment, scoring twenty sticks.

   Twenty water and fire sticks went down, the woman's **** was already bloody, and she was so painful that she could not breathe when she lay on the ground.

   "Don't recruit yet?" the old magistrate shouted.

   But the woman still has a stiff mouth.

Xiao Rui sighed, admiring the woman's hardship and perseverance, and said, "Sinner, don't you think you can find nothing if you don't say it? It's just a matter of time. You can't escape the death penalty for today, and I can promise. You, you brought your son into the capital. Although he was a slave, he lived better than others. Are you willing to tell the truth?"

   The woman turned her head, staring at Xiao Rui, and said in a vague voice: "Who are you?"

   Xiao Rui took the prince's order from his arms and shouted: "Your Highness is the seventh prince of Daxia, and so is Xiao Rui!"

   For an instant, there was silence up and down the court.

  The old magistrate hurriedly came down to salute. See also.

   The county lieutenant staggered and sat slumped on the ground, staring at Xiao Rui with wide eyes.

   After a while, everyone in the hall bowed down to see you.

Xiao Rui looked at the criminal woman on the ground, her eyes were dead ashes, but then she was surprised, and shouted: "His Royal Highness, the criminal woman is willing to recruit. He is the county lieutenant. He was formerly known as Ding Dakai, the beloved brother of my man. They killed him back then. The county lieutenant, let him impersonate the county lieutenant!"

   As soon as he said this, the hall was in an uproar again.

   County Lieutenant, no, Ding Dakai closed his eyes and finally lowered his head. He knew that he was finished.

   The old magistrate was stunned for a long time before he came to his senses.
