Chapter 8
After hearing Gao Pan's words, the county government servants carried Xu Shouxi's body into the courtroom.

And the many onlookers, as well as Wang Yufang, fell silent, watching what Gao Pan would do next!
Everyone is thinking, can Gao Pan resurrect the dead?Or is it really impossible to invite his soul back from the underworld?

Gao Pan walked away from the first place, came to Xu Shouxi's body, and asked loudly:

"Xu Shouxi, I'm the magistrate of Dantang County, now I'm seeking justice for you, if you have any grievances, you can explain it to me now..."

Seeing this, everyone looked at Gao Pan with doubts on their faces, thinking, what can they ask?Really hell?
I saw that Gao Pan suddenly came down to Xu Shouxi's body, as if he had heard his words, and nodded suddenly from time to time!
There was complete silence inside and outside the courtroom, and most of the people stared at Gao Pan's actions with wide eyes.

"Very well, I already know all the facts, and I will definitely give you justice..."

After about ten breaths, Gao Pan stood up, said calmly, and then asked someone to cover Xu Shouxi with a white cloth, and he continued to return to the top position.

Seeing this, Yin Weian narrowed his eyes and looked at Gao Pan, thinking in his heart, this kind of pretentious trick is not bad enough to deceive these foolish people!
"Bold woman Wang Yufang, you not only committed adultery with a man, but also accidentally killed your husband. In the end, you have to blame others for the crime. It should be regarded as a capital crime, so report it to the village!"

After Gao Pan sat on the main seat, he straightened his back and reprimanded loudly.

After hearing this, Wang Yufang's face turned pale instantly, and she looked at Gao Pan in horror.

"I didn't... I didn't kill it, it was him, Yuan Ronggui, and he sent someone to kill him. My lord, you have to investigate clearly... The little woman has always been a woman, and the neighbors around can testify..."

Resisting the horror in her heart, Wang Yufang cried loudly.

"Hmph, you dare to quibble. Your husband Xu Shouxi told me all these. Do you need me to tell the adulterer? You killed your husband by accident, and it has nothing to do with the adulterer. But if you don't tell me , I have reason to believe that you and that adulterer conspired to kill Xu Shouxi!"

Gao Pan snorted coldly and looked around at the onlookers as he spoke.

"It's him, don't let him escape, catch him..."

At this moment, Gao Pan saw a figure in the crowd move a little bit, and shouted quickly.

Seeing this, the Zaobang yamen servants at the side also reacted quickly, and pulled out the man in the crowd in an instant.

And the people onlookers have stopped talking loudly at this moment. If the matter has come to this point, if you still can't understand it, you are really a bit stupid!

"Adult, villain... The villain is wronged. This matter has nothing to do with me. It was her... she beat him to death..."

The man was already frightened, but now that he was escorted to the court, he was already scared out of his wits!
Before Gao Pan could question him, he had already put all the blame on Wang Yufang.

"Du Guanghe... I'm really blind, my husband, I'm sorry for you..."

Seeing this, Wang Yufang lost the will to resist in an instant, and sadly came to Xu Shouxi's corpse, crying bitterly!

Seeing this, Gao Pan breathed a sigh of relief, the matter has come to an end, and the case is clear at a glance!

Although it was his first time in court to judge a case, hadn't he ever eaten pork or seen a pig run away?

There are too many ancient costume movies and TV shows in the previous life, all of which have a trial in court. Gao Pan feels that he has watched some of them, and he can basically determine what is going on with a glance at some things.

When Wang Yufang was crying, Gao Pan happened to see that her eyes seemed to be erratic, and she glanced at the crowd watching the excitement from time to time.

The head catcher Shi Zhichang also provided an important clue. Someone saw a man walking out of Xu Shouxi's house at Haishi last night.

In addition, Yuan Ronggui sincerely stated that his family had plenty of money, so there was no need to kill Xu Shouxi for just five hundred Wen.

In this way, Gao Pan has a clear decision in his heart. Next, as long as the man who left Xu Shouxi's home in a hurry last night is found out, the case will be closed!
As for the behavior of asking Xu Shouxi, it was all for Wang Yufang and this adulterer to see!
The purpose is to cheat out of their adultery, and also to make this adulterer 'visible'!
Gao Pan doesn't have the ability to resurrect the dead, or invite ghosts to question him!
People die like lights out, Gao Pan is a staunch atheist, pretending to ask Xu Shouxi is just his way!
But this is a feudal society, a scholar like Yin Weian or a sensible person can understand that this is a means of climbing.

But the crowd of onlookers outside did not know that the people at this time still believed in the theory of gods, as well as the theory of the underworld and reincarnation.

When everyone looked at Gao Pan again at this moment, they had more admiration. I am afraid that only a god judge can do an official who can talk to ghosts?
Next, Gao Pan didn't need to be interrogated. The adulterer named Du Guanghe had already explained clearly what happened last night.

Just as Gao Pan speculated, Du Guanghe and Wang Yufang had already had an affair, but Xu Shouxi was still kept in the dark.

Last night, for some reason, Xu Shouxi, who was rushing to work, suddenly returned home and caught the rape in bed.

The three of them wrestled together. During the dispute, Wang Yufang accidentally knocked Xu Shouxi unconscious.

Both of them were a little flustered. If someone found out that they had committed adultery and also 'beaten' Xu Shouxi to death, it would be a disaster.

After they thought about it for a while, they felt that maybe Yuan Ronggui could be blamed. Anyway, Yuan Ronggui had threatened Xu Shouxi and his wife before.

Wang Yufang and Du Guanghe thought that if they didn't pay back the money, they would be killed. This was an excellent reason.

Afterwards, the two fabricated a murder scene, as if Xu Shouxi was murdered on the way home!

Then the two hung out for a while, and Du Guanghe left Xu Shouxi's home in a hurry at six o'clock.

They thought it was perfect and no one knew about it. In fact, someone had seen Du Guanghe leave Xu Shouxi's house long ago.

What's more, it was verified by others that Xu Shouxi was not dead at that time, but passed out, and because he was frozen in the night for a long time, he really died!
"Du Guanghe, Wang Yufang, you are so cruel, especially Wang Yufang. In order to support you, Xu Shouxi had to go to Yuan Ronggui's house to do another job every night, but you still have nothing to fill..."

Gao Pan looked at the two criminals from the moral high ground at this moment, and then said in a deep voice:
"According to Dayu's law, adulterers should be beheaded to show the public, and reported to the village. Anyone who kills by mistake will be sentenced to be beheaded and await prison. In view of the accumulation of crimes, I will sentence you to parade in the street, and then ask to be beheaded after autumn. Is there any objection? "
