Yipin County Magistrate: Start with invincibility

Chapter 277

"Convicted? What are the three of us guilty of?"

Ji Bugang replied with a strong tone.

Qin Feng slapped the gavel and shouted loudly: "How dare you argue!"

"You are innocent, why did you disappear after the deaths of Gong Yanglian, Lin Cuiling, and the executioner?"

"You are not guilty, why are you hiding in that dark and cramped underground place? Why are there 300 million taels of silver stolen underground? You are not guilty, why are the three of you digging a tunnel and trying to escape?"

"Can you answer all these questions?"

Qin Feng's few words revealed too much information.

The people who had just calmed down, after being invalidated by the "speaking silence", immediately became full of voices and an uproar.

"Is what the lord said true?"

"Then can an official talk nonsense in the courtroom? There are so many people watching."

"I don't know if it's true, but I live near Brother Ji's house. Yesterday, there were indeed many government servants cleaning up the burnt house in Jier Pavilion! Later, three people were arrested, but there were too many officials. , I didn’t dare to go up to see it. Presumably someone was really captured from the ground..."

"These three people are indeed suspected. They haven't been seen for many days. They are all rumored to be dead. It turns out that they are not dead at all, and they are still hiding underground! I just don't know why they are hiding."

"Tsk! Didn't you hear? There are 300 million taels of silver stolen underground! So much money has been stolen from the treasury? Wasn't it rumored that tens of thousands of taels of silver were lost?"

"It must be that the amount is too large. The prefect dare not leak the news, right? If this matter is going to be spread, the higher-ups can't come to investigate?"

"But what does this have to do with the murder?"

"Who knows, isn't this case under trial? Let's just look at it, this Lord Qin is a mighty official, and he always feels that he is a powerful character!"

The common people are in a mess, Qin Feng's skill CD can only let the yamen servants maintain order.

After the servants raised their sticks to signal, the people finally calmed down gradually.

They all waited for the three people kneeling in the hall to answer.

I only heard that Ji Bugang's attitude was still tough, and he said to Qin Feng with a sneer: "Huh? A joke!"

"You don't know how to become an official. Gongyang Lian and the executioner are dead. It is reasonable for you to doubt me, but Lin Cuiling, I made a wife. Could it be that I killed her myself? I love her husband and wife, Who in Bincheng doesn’t know?”

"Yes, I can prove it!"

Immediately, some people among the people nodded in agreement, agreeing with Ji Bugang's point of view.

Qin Feng frowned, he didn't expect Ji Bugang to be so difficult to deal with, his face became a little stiff.

On the contrary, Feng Shecai, who was next to Ji Bugang, reacted much more mildly than Ji Bugang, and said to Qin Feng: "Your Excellency, even if you are the presiding judge of this case, you shouldn't jump to conclusions."

"The three of us did not hide underground as the adults said, but were forcibly taken underground. The person who took us captive was none other than Chen Butou."

Feng Shecai clasped his fists in both hands, and said with a miserable face, "Second Brother Ji's secret room was dug out for self-defense when he heard that the situation in the northern border was unstable and he was worried that the barbarians would invade from the south."

"Originally, only Ji Bugang and I knew about this channel, but later Chen Tutou came to drink at home and accidentally found out about it."

"Later, a murder happened strangely. Ji Bugang and I were suspected of being the murderers. We were under surveillance all day long by the yamen servants. We didn't want to be attacked by Chen Butou at night and fell into a coma. When we woke up, we found that he had locked us in this underground secret room. Mr. Prefect His concubine was also forcibly captured by him, and Chen Butou was already anxious to have sex with the girl, and wanted to take her as his own!"

Feng She just said, and looked at Gan Yanyan, seeing that she didn't respond, and pushed her quietly.

Gan Yanyan shivered nervously, and hurriedly cried and echoed: "That's right, that Chen Butou... He, he still wants to insult the slave family. Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu..."

The magistrate who was sitting in the courtroom was furious when he heard this, he gritted his teeth and scolded viciously: "This damned catcher Chen! He was originally just a butcher, if he hadn't been promoted by the government, he would have become a catcher? Damn it, really damn it!"

"Master Qin, you heard me, why don't you hurry up and pronounce the sentence, and let my concubine go quickly?"

"Oh, my little one... I made you suffer!"

Qin Feng glanced at the magistrate, thinking how did your IQ live to such a high level, can't you tell that this is nonsense?
Before Feng Shecai finished speaking, he continued to tearfully condemn the dead Chen Butou.

"The 300 million taels of silver must have been stolen by Chen Butou. He originally planned to drive away from Bincheng with the silver and fly far away. Unexpectedly, the magistrate sealed the city and prevented him from escaping, so he found tools for the three of us. , taught the three of us to dig tunnels day and night, trying to dig out of the city directly... to escape our lives."

"The three of us are really victims!"

"However, thanks to my lord, I found out where the secret passage is. When I was leading people down the tunnel, Butou Chen heard the wind. The two of us killed him in the tunnel while he was looking back. We were really doing harm to the people." I hope my lord will see clearly."

The common people nodded repeatedly: "Ah, so that's the case..."

"Unexpectedly, the culprit is Chen Butou."

"This Chen Butou is usually arrogant and unreasonable, bullying others. But I really didn't expect that he would have the courage to steal 300 million taels of silver!"

"Thinking about those three lives, it's also inseparable from Catcher Chen!"

"Hmph, it's really taking advantage of him to ask Chen Butou to die like this. Such a person should be hacked to death!"

Qin Feng was taken aback when he heard that.

This Feng Shecai is quite good at making up stories, if he hadn't checked out the truth a long time ago, he might have really been fooled by his story.

"What nonsense!"

"Do you think that if you make up a story, you can cross the sky and clear the guilt? Dreaming!"

Qin Feng said coldly: "I have been investigating the case for many days, and I have already investigated this case to a close. Do you think that if there is no evidence, this officer will interrogate you? Will this case be tried publicly?"

"Humph!"

Qin Feng jumped up against the case, threw a copy of the case file in front of Feng Shecai, and said lightly: "Today, the official must pry the truth out of your mouths and make it public. It is useless for you to spend all your time trying to make up stories. of!"

"This file is the file of the original Kuyin theft case. This file was written by you, Feng Shecai, and your Ji Bugang's testimony is on it. The two of you should have nothing to deny, right?"

Qin Feng asked coldly.

The case file was right in front of him, and Qin Feng ordered someone to show the case file to the surrounding people.

This case file only has two pages, and there is very little information, and basically literate people can know what is written on it at a glance.

There was Feng Shecai's signature and Ji Bugang's testimony on it, so they couldn't deny it at all.

"Isn't it a murder trial? How did this lord get involved in the theft of Ku Yin?"

Someone made a puzzled sound.
