The stupid Chu Chi didn't notice the hidden resentment in her eyes, but Lin Youan beside her and Shen Mufeng not far behind her saw it all.
The kid took a step forward and looked directly at his mother with an expressionless face. Zhou Yuhe gritted her teeth at the ungrateful man, but the man staring at her coldly frightened her even more.
She could only hurriedly look away and pretend to be weak and pitiful again.
Chu Chi scratched his head and looked at the person behind him in surprise. After comparing them, he issued a final confirmation.
"She can also change color, even more than you."
Shen Mufeng remained silent, and Lin Youan suddenly felt something was wrong. When did his mother speak so familiarly to this man named Shen?
Worried, he pulled the person aside and stood in the middle. Only then did he feel a little relieved and continued to pay attention to the movements in the hall.
After all, Magistrate Li was an old hand at handling cases. How could he be fooled by a woman's crying and complaining?
Especially now, when it was obvious that someone was backing up the Lin family, he had to put in all his efforts to show his fairness and strictness in solving cases like a god!
Unfortunately, Yang Youde was not a pushover. Without solid evidence, he was not afraid at all. He was the one who cleaned up the mess personally, so there was absolutely no way he could leave any traces for anyone to find fault with.
If he hadn't run into Chen Lingfang, who was determined to pin him down, he might have been safe today.
But there are generally no ifs in this world.
When he saw Tao Liu and others being brought to the hall, he was not panicked at all. But when Tao San was also brought in like a dead dog, Yang Youde's expression tightened visibly.
When this thief came to our house two days ago, wasn't he dealt with? How did he end up in Chen Lingfang's hands?
How could it be? Hehe, of course it was my merit that I had a thorough plan and caught the criminal immediately.
Chen Lingfang snorted twice in satisfaction.
"Sir Li, this is Tao San, one of the bandit leaders of the Tao Family Village. He had a lucky escape when we went into the mountains to suppress the bandits, and I captured him two days ago from the hands of the Yang Family's guards.
After interrogation, Tao San confessed to colluding with Yang Youde and committing various illegal acts.
This is Tao San's confession, please have a look at it."
After presenting his testimony, he threw out a few more letters.
"These are the letters that Yang Youde has exchanged with the thieves over the years. One of the letters is the ironclad evidence that he hired someone to commit murder!"
"You are talking nonsense! I never wrote any letters at all, so how could I..."
Drink~~!!!
Yang Youde reacted and immediately changed his words.
"I have never hired anyone to kill Lin Yuanzhou. This is just a slander by Chen Lingfang to vent his personal vengeance! Please understand!"
They are all people who have been involved in official circles, and Chen Lingfang is an expert at interrogation. When he finds a loophole, he will step on it hard.
"I only said that you hired someone to kill someone, but I didn't say that the person killed was Lin Yuanzhou. Who are you arguing for? It's obvious that you are guilty and you are confessing yourself!"
He rushed forward and intimidated others with his imposing manner.
"Not to mention that what you just said proves that you are indeed colluding with the bandits! The bandits in the Dachong Mountains have been so rampant in recent years, and you must have contributed to it!"
"...I...you are slandering me..."
Yang Youde was a little confused by this series of threats and questioning.
"Do you have any concrete evidence to prove that it was indeed this officer who did it?"
Tao San, who was lying on the ground, was carried out. His already ferocious face was now even more full of malice.
"I am the evidence, Lord Yang. All the money that our Tao Village gave to you as a gift was recorded in black and white.
I don't have any other hobbies, I just like to keep accounts when I have nothing to do. Fortunately, I went to school for two days before, so my memory is pretty good.
How much tribute I gave you, who took the lead, where the money was sent, and when did I get your guidance to avoid the encirclement of the soldiers in time. I even remembered every time you ordered me to kill your enemies!
I promise that I can help you remember what you have forgotten. Hehehe…”
He smiled in a sinister and ghostly way.
After hiding under the hands of Yang and being nearly killed, and then falling into the hands of Chen, Tao San knew that his life was probably over.
He has been a bad guy all his life, so it doesn't make sense for him to show mercy and let others go at the last minute, right? Of course, he would take someone with him as a scapegoat. We are all born bad, so whoever dies first will be the one to die, right?
He raised his head with difficulty and looked around to see if he could find someone else to accompany him on the journey. After all, more people would make things more lively.
Finally, I turned my head and looked.
Oh, was the God of Death also standing in the hall?
He immediately grinned with joy, not caring about the pain from his injuries, and shouted loudly with great excitement.
"Hey, you female demon over there, do you have a grudge against this guy surnamed Yang? Why don't you take revenge and beat this bastard to death?
I tell you this guy is very bad. He killed the last county lieutenant named Fang. And he also arranged for us bandits to kill those unlucky scholars last year... Uh... Uh..."
Before he could finish his words, he fell down with his eyes wide open. A pool of blood quickly appeared on the back of his head. Yang Youde put down the fire and water stick he had snatched from the guard on duty, his face looking very grim.
"Those bandits and their ilk are extremely evil. They actually dared to slander the officials of the imperial court. How despicable!"
"Yang Youde, you dared to kill the suspect on the spot, it's simply lawless!"
Li Zhixian slammed the gavel, very angry. Unexpectedly, the other party pointed at Tao Wu's slightly heaving chest on the ground and tried to argue.
"When did I kill him? Isn't he still alive? I was so angry at the nonsense and wanton slander of this bandit that I lost my composure. In my anger, I inevitably did something irrational. I admit my fault and accept the punishment. Please calm down, sir."
This man is indeed a smart man. He would choose the lesser of two evils and would rather admit to the mistake of hurting someone than be charged with murdering an official, supporting a bandit and accepting bribes!
Among the people in the classroom, except Chu Chi, whose eyes were spinning in circles and who was anxiously not understanding anything, the others basically understood what was going on.
Lin Youan's eyes were bloodshot with hatred, and he was about to rush forward with his fists to fight the murderer of his father! But he was stopped by Lin Yuanshan, whose eyes were also filled with hatred and anger.
"Wait a minute, An Ge'er! Let's see what the adults have to say..."
He is now the backbone of the family, and he cannot be careless like a child and ignore the authority of these officials. If he offends anyone by accident, it may bring unbearable consequences to the family in the future.
Yang Youde patted the non-existent wrinkles on his sleeves, his expression calm, yet even vaguely tinged with a hint of pride.
