Yipin County Magistrate: Start with invincibility

Chapter 290
He dare not take it!

There is indeed a problem!
If Feng Shecai did not dare to accept the comparison of fingerprints, there is only one possibility, that is, it was not Ji Bugang who killed Chen Butou, but him... Feng Shecai!

No wonder there was a sudden sound reminding him to pay attention to his own life.

If he killed someone, he would not have the option of distribution or imprisonment. According to the law of the Great Zhou, he could only be sentenced to death!

If Qin Feng had just announced his decision, it would be equivalent to a mission failure, and he would be executed by the system!
Qin Feng was afraid for a while, a thin layer of cold sweat broke out on his body, soaking the clothes he was wearing underneath.

He was just one step away from death.

This Feng Shecai pretended too well. He directly integrated the lie of "Ji Bugang killed Chen Butou" into his own story, and said it by the way when everyone felt sympathy for him.

Most of them were in a mood of sympathy for him, and they would probably believe that it was really Ji Bugang who killed Chen Butou!

As for him, not only can he get rid of the fact that he killed someone, but he can also get everyone's sympathy by telling about the miserable experience, so that Qin Feng can give him a lighter punishment.

How serious is this scheming?

And his performance just now was so wonderful, he deceived Qin Feng, the full hall of government servants, and the onlookers!
Such a person, what he said...are all the truth?Was his fate really that tragic?
Qin Feng couldn't help feeling suspicious.

Qin Feng suppressed the shock and panic in his heart, but remained calm on the surface, his gaze changed, and he looked deeply at Feng Shecai.

"why do not you answer?"

"Ji Bu just killed Lin Cuiling and Gongyang Lian. The evidence is undeniable and beyond doubt. However, for Chief Chen, we still need to verify to see whose fingerprints are on the murder weapon."

"Since you said that Ji Bugang killed the person, then Ji Bugang must have seized the knife temporarily. He will throw away the murder weapon immediately after killing the person. You are innocent, you must have never touched the murder weapon, right?"

Feng Shecai remained silent.

"Come here, take Mr. Feng's fingerprints and compare them."

"No need!"

Just as Qin Feng gave the order, Feng She finally spoke before the yamen servant moved.

"Sigh... As expected of Mr. Qin. He actually saw through Feng's lie at the last moment. There's no need to compare fingerprints or anything. I killed Mr. Chen."

Feng Shecai's eyes darkened for a moment, and his eyes lost all vitality.

Gan Yanyan at the side heard Feng Shecai's confession, and immediately threw herself on him and began to cry.

Gan Yanyan looked up at Qin Feng, and asked with a desolate expression: "My lord, why can't you let him live? His life has been hard enough. Do you have to kill him?"

Seeing Gan Yanyan crying like this, the painful experience Feng Shecai said must be true.

but……

"The state owns the state law, and the family has family rules. If you don't follow the rules, you can't make a square. I, Qin Feng, can't bear to hear your tragic stories. But the tragic fate is not an excuse for committing crimes. If no one is killed, I have already planned He was given a lighter punishment, but he has already pleaded guilty and admitted to killing Chen Butou, so this official cannot disregard the laws of the country."

Qin Feng said word by word.

Qin Feng knocked down the gavel and announced the final verdict.

"Ji Bugang killed two people and stole 3 million taels of official silver. He was beheaded. Feng Shecai stole official silver and killed one person. He was also beheaded."

Qin Feng announced the verdict of the two people, and there were common people in the hall who refused to accept it.

"I don't agree! Then Catcher Chen is not a good person! He even killed his younger brother in order to cover up the evidence and get more money. Killing this kind of person is to eliminate harm for the people. What crime do we need?"

"I don't agree either!"

"And I, Master Feng must live!"

One or two, all bluffed.

Qin Feng patted the gavel, glanced at the people in the hall, and said loudly.

"This big week is gathered by people. Where there are people, there will be grievances. In order to resolve disputes, people have added some rules that cannot be violated by everyone. These rules are established by convention and later called morality. Everyone is willing to abide by it, but there are always very few people who, regardless of moral restrictions, act recklessly and hurt others.

Morality is not enough for law.

Law is the cornerstone of society.

The law is more powerful than morality in restraining human behavior.

Because the law has no emotion and no concern, it is a line drawn in front of the deepest darkness in the heart, and anyone who wants to go beyond will have to pay a price. "

"This officer is also very sympathetic to what happened to him. But I said that what happened is what happened, and the law is the law. You can't take other people's lives just because you cry yourself! Although Chen Butou is bad, he has no family. What about his parents? What about his wife and children? Is it fair to his family when he dies?"

"If I listen to your words and don't behead him, it's a precedent. In the future, there will be a hundred reasons for not beheading someone who kills someone."

"The national laws of the Great Zhou Dynasty are useless. Maybe in the near future, when you encounter the same thing, your relatives and friends are killed, and the murderer is caught, but because of his life, you are saved from beheading. What will you be at that time? Feeling?"

Qin Feng's words made everyone shut up.

People tend to follow the crowd, but once they involve themselves, they all understand that in the final analysis, everyone is selfish.

"Master Qin."

Feng Shecai hugged Qian Yanyan beside her, raised her head and faced Qin Feng with a wry smile: "Master Qin is like a god's help in resolving the case, Feng has nothing to say. Feng did kill someone, not only Chen Butou, but also Li Keqiu. .Anyway, death is inevitable, and there is nothing to hide. Master Qin wants to kill me, so let him be killed."

"Feng only asks you to listen to me. This case was designed by me, Feng She, from the beginning to the end. Yan Yan only found out the truth when we decided to leave Bincheng after the deaths of Lin Cuiling and Gong Yanglian. "

"She has nothing to do with the theft or murder of Kuyin. If she committed a crime, she just helped steal the body and transport some wine. Please treat Yan Yan lightly!"

Qin Feng didn't think about how to punish Gan Yanyan severely, so he nodded in agreement: "I promise you that I will give her a lighter punishment, and only send her to jail for half a year as a punishment, how about it?"

Feng Shecai immediately showed a smile: "Thank you, sir, for your fulfillment."

Gan Yanyan in his arms began to sob and cry: "No, I don't want to live. If you die, I won't live anymore..."

Feng Shecai rubbed her head, comforted her for a while, then raised her head and said.

"My lord, Feng has one last wish before he dies."

"Say."

"Before my mother left, she gave me a precious thing. She said it was torn from the magistrate...that is, my father. She told me that if my father raised me, he would find a chance to give it to me personally." Give it back to him. Please give me your permission."
