Start by scolding the empress

Chapter 247

Hearing what Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment said, the county lieutenant trembled in fright, and then stammered: "No, I didn't do anything to him, just locked him up, he, he is now, in the prison .”

After listening to the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, he looked at the servant next to him and ordered: "You, go and release the county magistrate and bring him to the lobby."

"Yes, my lord!"

The yamen servant immediately turned and left.

When the people around heard this, they were very quiet just now, but now they saw that they were all waiting for the county magistrate, so they started talking about it, saying everything.

But most of them are talking about some bastard things that bullied others before the county lieutenant.

Chen Yi listened, and sneered in his heart. He had done so many things before, and he had grown more courageous.

The county magistrate who was killed was also part of the responsibility for the county lieutenant who dared to kill someone.

How could it lead to death if it was dealt with impartially at the very beginning?
And the official cleansing department who supported him is even more hateful. It seems that no matter what era it is, there are many greedy people.

After a while, the county magistrate followed the yamen servant who had left before.

Chen Yi took a look and found that the county magistrate was not injured except for being a little embarrassed.

After the county magistrate came out, he looked at Chen Yi very excitedly, and then he saw the Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice sitting on it. He was a little confused. He had never seen the Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice. When he was released, he thought it was Chen Yi who sent someone to release him.

He thought it was Chen Yi who was trying the case, but now he was a little confused.

"Are you the magistrate of this county?"

The Minister of the Ministry of Justice did not give him time to talk nonsense, and asked directly.

"Yes, my lord, I am the county magistrate."

"Well, I'm the Minister of the Ministry of Criminal Affairs. I'm here to hear the murder case of the county magistrate. You have to tell the truth and don't hide anything. Do you hear me?"

When the county magistrate heard that this person turned out to be the Minister of Punishment, he couldn't hide the surprise on his face.

Then, thinking of Chen Yi's letter asking him to send it to the imperial capital as soon as possible, he felt a little clear in his heart, and immediately said wittily, "Don't worry, Lord Shangshu, I will definitely not lie."

The Secretary of the Ministry of Justice nodded in satisfaction: "Let's just tell what you know."

The county magistrate glanced at Chen Yi, seeing the encouragement and affirmation in Chen Yi's eyes, the county magistrate knew that he should get out of the sea of ​​suffering this time, so he repeated what he told Chen Yi at that time.

The common people only heard Chen Yi give a general idea before, but the county magistrate spoke slowly, even the details were very vivid.

It was enjoyable for the surrounding people to hear, but also very shocked. I didn't expect the county captain to be so bold.

As soon as the county magistrate finished speaking, the county magistrate immediately retorted: "You are talking nonsense, you framed me, I did not do it, and just because I had a dispute with the magistrate, I went to the magistrate the same day and judged that I was the murderer What evidence do you have?"

Chen Yi watched the county lieutenant struggling to death, how could he be so confident?
What he did, the finishing work was not in place, and he is still yelling here, the louder he yells now, the worse his death will be in a short while, Chen Yi looked at the county captain with great interest.

The county lieutenant noticed a gaze, looked over, and met Chen Yi's eyes. Seeing the interest in Chen Yi's eyes, he was suddenly speechless, shocked, and had a bad premonition.

Sure enough, Chen Yi said, "You want evidence? Great, I'm just ready, let's see one by one."

After Chen Yi finished speaking, he looked at Xian Cheng and walked to him.

"Where is the jade pendant?"

"Here, my lord, I keep it with me."

The county magistrate took out a handkerchief from his pocket and handed it to Chen Yi. Afterwards, Chen Yi stepped forward and put it on the table in front of Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment, then retreated and stood upright.

The county captain came to the jade pendant, and was a little strange at first, what jade pendant?
Then I thought of something, and my heart was shocked. Could it be the piece he lost.

How did they find it?Where did you find it?

The county lieutenant trembled, it couldn't be what he thought, it's impossible!They must be scaring himself, he needs to calm down and not be led by the nose.

The Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice opened the things on the table, and saw a jade pendant with blood stains, raised his hand to pick it up, showed it to everyone, and asked: "County captain, do you recognize this jade pendant?"

The county lieutenant's pupils shrank, his lips trembled, and he subconsciously denied it: "My lord, I don't know this jade pendant, my lord, I don't know this jade pendant!"

After talking about it, he flatly denied it with a loud voice. It seemed that only in this way could he convince himself that nothing would happen.

Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice chuckled, and instead of continuing to press for questions, he looked at Xiancheng and Chen Yi.

"Where did this jade pendant come from?"

Chen Yi bowed and saluted: "My lord, it was the lower official who searched the scene of the crime again with the county magistrate. The county magistrate found it in the bedroom. It was actually found in the gap between the county magistrate's bed and the wall. The lower official asked. The county magistrate There is no such thing, so it belongs to the murderer."

"No, it's not mine, it's not mine."

Chen Yi turned around and asked curiously: "Don't be nervous, county lieutenant. I just said it must be the murderer's. Why are you so eager to deny it? As for not, wouldn't your lord recognize it?"

The county lieutenant immediately lowered his head and remained silent.

The Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice immediately said: "Go, take this to the county lieutenant's house, and say that if you find this jade pendant, something may have happened to the county lieutenant, let them identify whether it belongs to the county lieutenant."

The yamen servant immediately took the things and left.

Chen Yi admired him a little, he could imagine this trick, and quietly gave a thumbs up to Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice.

The Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment is proud of himself. It is rare that he is admired by Chen Shilang. Everyone knows how capable Chen Shilang is.

The county magistrate and the county captain lived relatively close to the county government office. After a while, the common people heard the sound of crying and came. The Minister of Punishment immediately asked the yamen servants to drag the county captain to the back hall and hide them.

As soon as the county lieutenant covered his mouth and was hidden, he saw a woman coming to the lobby followed by a servant.

As soon as he came in, he started to cry, and then kept shouting: "County captain, husband~"

The woman rushed in and saw so many people, but she knew Lisi Liu Qing, so she rushed over and started crying.

"Brother-in-law, you want to keep my husband for a long time, what's going on? How could this happen!"

The servants who came in also knelt down and begged. The scene was out of control for a while, and the whole lobby was buzzing with the sound of crying.

The Minister of the Ministry of Justice was really disturbed by the noise, so he patted the gavel.

These voices were interrupted, and only then did the woman see Shangshu Xingbu who was sitting on it.

Looking at Liu Qinglisi with a questioning face, he seemed to be surprised why Liu Qinglisi did not do it.

The Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment asked directly: "Who is in the hall? I am the Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment. Please report your name!"
