"Prepare the horse!" An Xinhe scolded coquettishly, wrapped the cloak around her body, and walked away against the wind.

The servants at the gate of the mansion had already brought a fine horse, An Xinhe turned over skillfully, and galloped away with a whip.

"Sister, what is she doing?" Ling Feng asked puzzled.

Xia Ru was also a little worried, but An Fu came up to comfort him: "Second Madam, don't worry, Eldest Madam will be fine. I also ask Madam to go back and rest first, the villain is going to the magistrate right now."

An Xinhe galloped all the way, and the cold wind blew the few hairs scattered around her ears to sway rapidly. There were fine grains of sand in the wind, which made her face hurt. The cloak on her body had already been blown into a kite. Shaking against the wind, revealing the thin and slender body inside.

But why are you afraid of the wind and cold after the gate?

In less than half a quarter of an hour, An Xinhe had arrived at the east entrance of the city.Dozens of people had already gathered at the door.Neat and uniform, neatly lined up in local teams, motionless in the cold wind!

They are dressed in ordinary clothes, and they are all civilians.And beside these dozens of people, there is a fat and healthy horse, stomping its hooves and ready to go.

Seeing An Xinhe's arrival, the leader took two steps forward and clasped his fists forcefully: "Show!"

"Listen to the order! The county government office of Quxi County! If my master is slightly injured, the county government office will be demolished!"

"Yes!" Dozens of people roared in unison, as if it was made by one person, and the shouts were earth-shattering, comparable to ten thousand people.

……

……

Today is the second round of the township examination, and it just so happens that the rain has stopped.

Quxi County, which had been quiet for two days, became lively again. Not only candidates came from three townships and five mountains, but also girls and uncles from every household came out to enjoy the rare sunny weather.

There are many people on the street.

Not long after, a message spread among the crowd.

The yamen is going to interrogate the newly-appointed chief security officer. It is said that this man was so vicious that he beat the family of the villagers of Bixi Village to a pulp.

Quxi County was bustling, and the examinees who came to take reference were filled with righteous indignation when they heard the news, and they all called for blood to pay and severely punish the perpetrators.

He was about to be promoted, and the gate of the county government office was already blocked, and he didn't know how long the government office hadn't had such good business.

"Hey, do you think this is true? How can anyone be so cruel that they can beat people into mud?"

"Don't believe me, I'm a friend of the yamen servant. He didn't go to bed until dawn today, and he told me about this incident by the way. Not only did he beat people into mud, but he also dropped their ashes in the air." Burying into the ground, tell me, how cruel is this?"

"The security chief of Bixi Village? Didn't two of them just die inexplicably? Could it be that the accumulated grievances of the first two attracted such a fierce spirit?"

"Don't talk, don't talk! The prisoner has already arrived."

At the gate, a few yamen servants cleared the way, and a group of people rushed to the center of the court.

Several discussants started to mutter again: "Huh? Why didn't you see the prisoner for interrogation?"

Several people just couldn't see who the prisoner was interrogated.

Because besides a few people in official uniforms in the center of the courtroom, there was another one in a blue shirt and a cap. His body was clean and his complexion was ruddy. It was impossible to tell that he had been imprisoned.

While everyone was still muttering, Liu Song stepped forward and sat in the center dressed as a county magistrate, and slapped the gavel in his hand!

"Snapped!"

"Ascension!"

"mighty--"

Li Quan, who was in a green shirt and a cap, was taken aback. This battle was really a bit bluffing.

Liu Song brushed his beard with his hands, and stared at Li Quan who was in the hall, frowning. He didn't know why he was still in such good spirits after being locked up in prison for a whole day.Another shot of the gavel:

"People in the hall, why don't you kneel down when you see me?"

Li Quan saw the power of the gavel for the first time, and broke out in a cold sweat. He paused for a long time before replying:

"My lord, I have an official position in the court, why should I kneel?"

"Snapped!"

"You commit murder and wound people with extremely cruel methods. Do you think you can keep your official position?"

When everyone heard it, it turned out that the neatly dressed man in the hall was a criminal.

With such a felony, how could he stand still unharmed?To see the official do not kneel!The commoners in the auditorium began to discuss again.

Hearing Liu Song's words, Li Quan laughed back: "My lord, haven't you been convicted yet? Why do you keep saying that I killed someone and wanted to bite me to death?"

"Let me ask you, where is Su Wenmian's family now?"

"My surname is not Su, what are you doing about me?"

"You!" It was the first time Liu Song saw a prisoner who was so arrogant in the courtroom, blowing his beard in anger, "Let's see how long you can quibble! The physical evidence will come up!"

The yamen guard who escorted Li Quan yesterday carried the urn into the courtroom, and held up the porcelain altar to show to fellow villagers:

"These are the ashes of the Su family's mother and son. I seized them at the Bazhang Pavilion yesterday. When I took them, the ashes were suspended in the air in two altars, and the wronged souls in the altars were not allowed to rebirth. Such actions can be described as inhumane!"

Only a small number of people know the details of the case, and now that it is made public, it immediately caused an uproar.

When a person dies, he wants to be reborn, but hanging the ashes in the air is undoubtedly the last thought of a person.In the eyes of these ordinary people who believe in ghosts and gods, there is really no more vicious practice than this.

Voices denouncing Li Quan kept coming and going.

Li Quan had already figured out how to deal with it, and interrupted: "This is all your own words. Let me ask you, how do you know that the ashes of the mother and son of the Su family must be inside? You can try calling Su Wenmian's name. See if he agrees to you."

The yamen servant was taken aback by the question, he hesitated for a long time and didn't know how to respond.

On the stage, Liu Song said coldly: "No matter whose ashes are, if there are ashes, they are dead. In Bixi Village, only Su Wenmian's mother and son suddenly disappeared recently. Besides their ashes, who else could it be?"

When everyone heard it, they praised it again and again. Master Liu's analysis was thorough. Let's see how the thief argues.

"My lord, may I ask if these ashes must be human ashes? They can't be of animals? Or is it possible that Master Liu has a way to identify them? Then, my lord, is there a stipulation in the laws of Daqing that killing livestock is also a violation of the law?"

"This..." Liu Song was also stunned, and didn't know how to answer for a while, so he asked, "Then why do you hang the ashes in the air?"

Li Quan smiled at the corner of his mouth and lowered his head to express annoyance: "My lord, I have always been careful and kind, and I know that God has the virtue of good life. The day before yesterday, I was swinging a stick at Bazhang Pavilion and practicing. Unfortunately, I killed two vultures with sticks. "

Speaking of this, Li Quan burst into tears, wiped his nose, and wiped it on the yamen servant's body, causing the other party to stare.

"Afterwards, I was heartbroken and extremely remorseful. I burned it and put it in an altar. I wanted to bury it on the spot. But thinking of the vultures soaring in the sky all their lives, I hung them in mid-air, hoping that their souls could also fly in the sky after death. In the air. I don’t want my intentions to be mistaken for malicious murder by adults.”

Li Quan's acting skills were superb, and everyone was stunned when he heard what he said.
