The best county magistrate

"Certificates of Chen Song, Wu Xiulian, and Li Dazhu."

During the summons of witnesses, Wei Junzhi presented Yang Xuanchen with the files on the disappearance of Widow Lin and her daughter in previous years.

After Yang Xuanchen carefully reviewed it, he discovered something fishy, ​​"Wang Mang, I'm asking you again, do you have any evidence that Qian Youde raped and killed Widow Lin and her daughter?"

"Yes! There is a forbidden area for Qian Youde in the backyard of Qian Mansion. He does not allow anyone to enter. There is a crooked-neck tree there..."

Then, Wang Mang told the truth about Qian Youde's rape and murder of Widow Lin and her daughter in the yard.

"Zhang Biao, quickly lead two teams of government officials to the Qian Mansion. If there is any obstruction, they will be punished for obstructing official duties." Yang Xuanchen ordered.

After Zhang Biao led the government officials to set off, the three witnesses happened to arrive.

"Caomin Chen Song."

"Folk girl Wu Xiulian."

"Grassman Li Dazhu"

The three of them said in unison, "Greetings, sir."

Yang Xuanchen raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Chen Song, tell me."

"The grass people hid in a house in the north of the city a few days ago and witnessed Qian Youde and Wang Mang conspiring to poison the grass people..."

Chen Song loudly recounted everything that happened that day, and unintentionally revealed the adultery between Wu Xiulian and Qian Youde.

Wu Xiulian did not refute. She confessed her relationship with Qian Youde and told everyone how he raped and coerced her.

Her tears and Chen Song's indignation made the people clamor again.

Without the eggs and vegetable leaves in their hands, the people chose to shout insults this time.

One after another, the quintessence of Chinese culture was heard loud and clear, resounding throughout the Qingshui County Yamen.

Yan Chenghai in the second hall frowned, and Bai Yi'an beside him was so shocked that he broke into a cold sweat.

The double cooperation of the gavel tree and the water and fire stick gradually calmed down the people's filthy words.

Yang Xuanchen blushed and asked Wu Xiulian: "Wu Xiulian, is Qian Youde really having an affair with you?"

At this time, Qian Youde shouted that he was wronged, "Sir, Wu Xiulian and I are innocent. I have never raped her, let alone committed adultery with her..."

Wu Xiulian stopped crying, and her eyes turned to filled with hatred, "Qian Youde, you are worse than a beast!"

"Don't you dare to admit what you have done? You beast! What a bastard!"

A few curse words obviously couldn't resolve the pain, so she rushed towards Qian Youde and slapped him loudly.

As the people shouted "good job", she was dragged back to the original place by the government officials.

As if those few slaps had exhausted all her strength, Wu Xiulian collapsed to the ground.

Chen Song helped Wu Xiulian up and let her lean on him.

Looking at her brother-in-law's soft eyes, she nodded and struggled a few times before standing up again, her eyes full of determination.

"Sir, there is a mole on the top of Qian Youde's penis, and there is also a mole on his body!"

I blanched, and Yang Xuanchen was stunned. Did this woman observe so carefully?

"Wu Xiulian, are you serious about this?"

"In court, women of the people dare not speak nonsense. Every time this beast Qian Youde does that kind of thing with a woman of the people, he likes to let the women of the country use his mouth..."

In shame and anger, Wu Xiulian burst into tears again.

Yang Xuanchen banged the gavel tree heavily to stop the people from talking.

"Li Dazhu, it's your turn!"

Through the confessions of Chen Song, Wu Xiulian, and Li Dazhu, plus the testimony of Wang Mang.

For a time, Qian Youde couldn't defend himself from poisoning Chen Zhi.

"Master! There is something found under the crooked neck tree in the backyard of Qian's Mansion!"

Zhang Biao returned to the hall with two dead bones in his hands. "The two dead bones were examined by the widow and were found to be of two women. One was in his early thirties and the other was fifteen or sixteen years old."

"They are similar in age to Widow Lin and her daughter. When we dug them out, there were still a few hanging ornaments on the bones. We have already sent people to Xintang Township to verify them."

After listening to Zhang Biao's words, Qian Youde's body was like chaff at this moment, big beads of sweat kept dripping from his forehead, and his hands had nowhere to put them.

The government officials brought straw mats and placed the dead bones, and then put a few more bones on top.

"Master, two teams of government officials are still searching Qian's Mansion, and a total of seven corpses have been found so far!" Zhang Biao reported the situation to Yang Xuanchen while suppressing the feeling of beating Qian Youde.

"Okay! Very good! Qian Youde, you have lost your conscience and killed innocent people, you deserve to die!" Yang Xuanchen's tone was cold and cold, as if he came from Jiuyou.

Qian Youde's trembling body could no longer maintain his kneeling position. There were faint water stains leaking out from the stone at the heart of the palace, and the fishy smell was very strong.

Yang Xuanchen signaled the government officials to get a thick lawsuit, and loudly read out one case after another about the crimes they had committed in front of everyone.

At this point in the case, the two township doctors and four village chiefs who came over knelt down in front of the hall on behalf of the people of the two townships and four villages in Qingshui County and asked for the death penalty.

Qian Youde and Wang Mang have already caused public outrage, and their death is not enough to make the people angry.

Time passed by minute by minute, and finally the government officials who returned from Xintang Township arrived.

"Sir, it has been confirmed that the dead bones dug up from Qian's Mansion are those of Widow Lin and her daughter."

The author submitted a brief autopsy report, indicating the approximate identity, age and possible manner of death of the deceased.

With the witnesses and physical evidence present, it's time to decide the case.

Yang Xuanchen lowered his eyes and thought for a long time at the desk. When he opened his eyes again, he picked up a pen and wrote the verdict himself.

With a bang, the gavel was broken by him, and the public case was almost fell apart by him.

"You two have committed three of the ten heinous crimes, what else can you say?"

After waiting for a while and seeing that the two people in the hall were speechless, Yang Xuanchen took the official seal and stamped it heavily on the verdict.

He turned around and walked into the second hall and presented the verdict to Yan Chenghai.

"Mr. Yang, thank you for your hard work. I heard the case clearly and clearly. I will give the verdict as I should."

"At noon tomorrow, escort the criminal outside the south gate of Qingshui County, find an open place, and show his head to the public!"

After speaking, Yan Chenghai stamped his Qingzhou governor's seal on the verdict and ordered him to return to the court to announce the verdict in public.

When Yang Xuanchen returned to the hall, his eyelids couldn't help but twitch.

Zhang Biao actually brought the dog-headed guillotine over, "Master, I'm ready. The dog-headed guillotine is polished until it shines like gold..."

After sending Zhang Biao away, Yang Xuanchen sat behind the public case and loudly announced everyone's crimes, "Qian is immoral, discordant, civil strife, heinous crimes, death!"

"Wang Mang is dishonest, unjust, and has civil strife..."

"Tomorrow at noon, we will launch the south gate of Qingshui County and show our heads to the public!"

"Although Wu Xiulian and Li Dazhu had their faults, they were forced to do so by traitors, and they had the intention to repent and report them, so they were pardoned for their crimes."

"The properties and fertile land of Qian Youde were inspected, the money was confiscated and sent to the tax treasury of Qingshui County to improve people's livelihood, and his family members were ordered to cultivate salt fields in Liujia Village..."

"The Tongqian Gang committed crimes, bullied the world, and caused trouble and disturbed the people. In order to show their repentance, I punished them to work in the salt fields of Liujia Village as a warning to others!"

"Detain him! Quit!"

After the crimes of Qian Youde and Wang Mang were announced in public, the people spread the word and soon everyone knew about it.

Qingshui County Magistrate Yang Xuanchen's reputation for being upright, selfless, discerning, and law enforcement has also spread.
