At night, the bright moon hangs high, and the shadows of the pear tree branches hit the wall, slanting and criss-crossing.

Li Wugeng tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep. He was afraid of waking He Baoyun and didn't dare to move too much. He felt very uneasy.

The eye of Yun Shu on the other bed opened slightly, glanced at it and then narrowed it.

After a sleepless night, Li Wugeng wakes up in the morning in good spirits, but when he arrives in town, his head becomes dizzy.There were many pedestrians on the street, and the entrance of the yamen was even more crowded. Li Wugeng and the others didn't care about the crowd's scolding, so they just held their breath and squeezed to the innermost place.

There were several officers and soldiers guarding the gate, and the spectators did not dare to make mistakes, so they consciously left a line.It was even more difficult for Li Wu to come in, but he was suddenly pushed from behind, and he was about to fall down when he couldn't hold on. Yun Shuzhi quickly grabbed him with his eyes, protected him to the front of him, and said softly, "Stand here."

"Thank you." Li Wugeng said, but he was a little uncomfortable, as if his hands and feet were bound.

The fourth aunt stood by crying out of breath, her eyes swollen like walnuts.

In the yamen, Li Huailin came to the hall in a red official uniform, sat down with his robe lifted, cleared his throat deeply, took a heavy shot with a gavel in his hand, and shouted solemnly: "Silence!"

Everyone who was whispering was suddenly silent, and they all straightened their necks and poked inside.Liu Si was also escorted up by two officers and soldiers at this time, kneeling on the ground with a desolate expression, his whole body was listless, his face was as pale as a dying person.

Li Huailin touched his chin quite proudly, stared at him with small eyes, raised his thick brows, and said from the bottom of his heart: "Ascension!"

The hall suddenly became solemn and solemn, Zhao Tianfeng, the eldest son of the Zhao family, stepped into the hall, bent slightly to salute, and had no intention of kneeling at all.He raised his sleeves and shouted respectfully: "My lord." Although he bowed, he did not kneel down. Zhao Tianfeng has no official position, and his status is no different from that of a commoner. His doing so obviously made Li Huailin's face a little bit Can't hold on.

Li Huailin held back his anger and asked, "Who is in the hall? What are you suing?"

"Zhao Tianfeng, a grassroots man, sued Liu Sijiancai of Dongfeng Village for murdering his father Zhao Jinming." He winked at the young servant behind him, and the young servant understood it, and quickly presented the complaint.The master took it quickly and spread the statement on the table. Li Huailin already knew the outline of the matter, but he still looked at it pretendingly.

He pretended to think about it, and said, "You said that Liu Si committed murder on purpose, do you have evidence?"

Zhao Tianfeng walked up to Liu Si slowly, and looked at him with a smile that was not a smile. Liu Si felt like he was sitting on pins and needles, and he backed away with his hands and feet on the ground. Beads of sweat pattered down his temples.

"What does Zhao Tianfeng want to do?" Li Wugeng turned his head and asked in a low voice.Yun Shuzhi frowned, and said, "I'm afraid he wants to scare people away." Liu Si was afraid that this would happen, and he might have told the truth without interrogation by Li Huailin, but the inconsistency in his confession made people suspicious.

Sure enough, Liu Si knelt down on the ground, knocked his head vigorously a few times, and shouted: "My lord, Xiaomin is wronged! That jade ring finger was given to me by Ah Wen, I don't know anything!" He wobbled in control, and straightened up suddenly as if he had grasped a life-saving straw, "Yes! Awen! My lord, you can find Awen, and he can testify against Xiaomin!"

Li Huailin's face suddenly became ugly, and he didn't say a word, letting Liu Si shout from below.Zhao Tianfeng took the opportunity to stand up: "My lord, Caomin also has a witness!"

There was a moment of silence inside and outside, the flesh on Li Huailin's face twitched twice, and he was forced to speak: "Call the witness to the court."

As soon as he finished speaking, a thin and wretched man was brought up.When Liu Si saw the man's face turned ashen, he collapsed on the ground.That man was Ah Wen. He disappeared for two days and was taken away by people from the Zhao family.

"Sun Wen, the little man, pays his respects to the lord." Ah Wen knelt down politely.

Li Huailin said nothing.Awen said again: "Xiaomin came here to testify for Mr. Zhao. The day before yesterday, Xiaomin was wandering in the street, but saw Liu Si sneaking into the pawn shop, so I followed him quietly. It doesn't matter, it just happened Let me meet him holding a jade wrench to pawn. At that time, I wondered where he got such a valuable thing, so he did such a trick!"

"You obviously sold the jade puller to me!" Liu Si struggled to get up and yelled, and was about to kick it down. "How dare you frame me, you fucking bastard!"

Ah Wen immediately covered his head and hid, and the officers and soldiers on both sides immediately stepped forward to restrain Liu Si.

Zhao Tianfeng gave Liu Si a contemptuous look, and continued, "The owner of the pawnshop can also testify for the grassroots. I wonder if he can come up?"

No one thought of this, Li Huailin kept silent, Zhao Tianfeng was clearly trying to frame him.The Zhao family was fighting in the nest, but he was caught in the middle of a dilemma. If the case is judged, the second son of Zhao will not let him have a better life. That person is more capable than the eldest son.

Everyone present was waiting for Li Huailin to speak, Zhao Tianfeng was not in a hurry, he came prepared, and he didn't believe that the case would not be judged.Once the case is settled, as the eldest son, he will naturally become the next Patriarch of the Zhao family. Today, he will go out in person to avoid long nights and dreams.

The fourth aunt's eyes were red with anxiety, and she rushed out crying: "Your Excellency, you are wronged!"

Li Huailin's small eyes lit up, he put Zhao Tianfeng and the others aside, he slapped the gavel, everyone frightened for a moment, the fourth aunt had already entered the yamen.

"Who is calling for injustice?"

The fourth aunt hurriedly knelt down: "Liu Qin, a commoner's wife, appeal for grievances for my husband Liu Si."

Li Huailin nodded: "Is there any grievance?"

"The woman wants to testify on behalf of Xianggong Liu Si that the jade ring finger was indeed sold to him by Sun Wen. After Xianggong was arrested, the woman went to find Sun Wen, but he has disappeared. I didn't expect him to be in court today. Appeared, and even slandered my husband." The fourth aunt glared at A Wen angrily, and A Wen evaded and dared not meet her eyes.

"Why do I feel that Master Li is deliberately helping Fourth Aunt and the others..." Li Wu was even more puzzled, and asked Yun Shuzhi in a low voice.

Yun Shuzhi raised his eyebrows, beat the folding fan in his hand, slightly curved his slender eyes, and raised his thin lips lightly: "Relax and watch the show."

Because he leaned close to his ear to talk, and the warm breath came to the pinna, Li Wugeng felt a numbness, and moved forward calmly.But Yun Shuzhi held him back: "If you go in any further, you will be hit by a board." Li Wugeng retracted the foot that had stepped out.

In the hall, Li Huailin looked at the bottom leisurely, raised his chin and looked at people with his nostrils, and asked slowly: "Sun Wen, is what Liu Qin said is true?"

Awen immediately quibbled: "My lord, she lied, I haven't been back to the village for a few days, how could I sell things to them!"

"Didn't go back to the village? Ask yourself, is it you who came looking for us at night!" The fourth aunt felt tight in her chest and was furious.

Ah Wen had already expected what she would say, and pretended to be innocent: "You two husbands and wives don't want to spout blood, who knows if you two joined forces to frame me." Then he turned to Li Huailin and explained, "My lord can go to the village and ask other people, If I go back, not only the couple will see it."

"You..." The fourth aunt was so angry that he couldn't breathe. At that time, Ah Wen came to them in the middle of the night, so they didn't know that they would be put together.

Li Wugeng looked anxious from the outside, this Ah Wen was really bad in his bones, it was nothing more than bullying people on weekdays, but now he is still talking nonsense and killing people.

"My lord, now that there are all the witnesses and material evidence, please judge as soon as possible, so as to give my Zhao family justice." Zhao Tianfeng came out to put pressure on him. He is not a fool, of course he knows that Li Huailin is deliberately delaying time, but the overall situation has been decided, and then No matter how dragged it is, it doesn't work.

Li Huailin was about to speak when Wen Renxi came out from the inner hall and whispered something to him.Li Huailin was overjoyed immediately, clapped the case on the table, and said arrogantly: "It is indeed a verdict..." He ordered to the left and right, "Come here, arrest Zhao Tianfeng!"

Zhao Tianfeng felt bad, and asked as he retreated, "Master Li, what does this mean?"

Li Huailin sneered: "It is to arrest the criminal."
