I pretend to be a fairy in ancient times

The case of Mr. Zhao's murder is already very clear, with all the witnesses and material evidence, the interrogation is just a formality.

The Tongju of Huizhou Prefecture made a verdict in court. Qian Zhen, the former master of Sanjiang County, conspired to kill others and plundered other people's property.Li Su'er, a servant of the Zhao family, had an affair with someone and murdered her master, and was sentenced to be cut in half.

The case of beheading must be submitted to the Ministry of Punishment for review, and finally the emperor will personally designate the name before execution.This is why Qian Zhen advised Qu Xiong and only sentenced Father Zhao to ten years in prison.Sentencing the death penalty will attract the attention of the court, but it is not easy to operate. If it is a lighter sentence, the Ministry of Criminal Justice will review it hastily.

After the main culprit was sentenced, the rest of the accomplices, including the gangster who carried the corpse to Zhao's drugstore and the yamen servants who participated in the case, were sentenced to different years of imprisonment and were quickly detained.Zhao Hui, who appeared as a witness, and the doctor who had treated Mr. Zhao also went outside the door to wait.

Because Qu Xiong was involved in the treason case of King Wei, and there were two sleeve arrows with poisoned darts as physical evidence, so Li Nianguang dared not convict him, so he had to be escorted to Beijing to wait for the Ministry of Criminal Justice to rule.

But before being escorted to Beijing, Li Nianguang, as the first official to handle the case, had to conduct a preliminary trial, complete the documents, and submit them to the Ministry of Criminal Justice.

If he had a choice, Li Nianguang didn't want to be involved in the treason case.The Qu family is also considered a rich family, and there are other relatives who are officials in the court. Qu Xiong participated in the rebellion, and I don't know how many people will be implicated.

Now that Qu Xiong's case has fallen into Li Nianguang's hands, he can only admit that he is unlucky, and it's up to him whether he wants to be contaminated or not. At worst, he will go to the temple to burn more paper money for Qu's family in the future.

On the courtroom, Qu Xiong, Li Suer and Qian Zhen were still kneeling. Zhao Ji sat on the left of Tongju Li Nianguang, and the yamen servants stood on both sides holding water and fire sticks.

In Qu Xiong's case, it was only necessary to obtain the statements of Qian Zhen and Li Su'er, and get them to sign.Following the verdict of these two people, their faces were full of ashes, their eyes had lost their luster, and they looked like puppets on a string. Li Nianguang asked a question, and they only answered.

Only Qu Xiong present had a different expression, his nose was clearly bruised and his face was swollen, but his eyes were very fierce, and there was still some unknown hope faintly.

When Li Su'er was escorted by the yamen guards to press his fingerprints on the confession, Qu Xiong suddenly snorted coldly, which made Li Su'er tremble and punctured the paper.

The clerk in charge of writing the records frowned, and said inwardly that it was hateful, it was a waste of effort to copy a neat confession.

Since Qu Xiong was a repeat offender, Li Nianguang was afraid of breaking him, and since the case was over, he didn't want to cause more trouble.Instructed the civil servants to copy a copy, but did not punish Qu Xiong.

At this moment, Qu Xiong was confident, and suddenly roared, glaring at Zhao Ji with wide eyes.He is a martial arts practitioner, and he is very imposing. Even with two yamen guards guarding him, he still surprised Li Nianguang.

It stands to reason that the person Qu Xiong targeted was Zhao Ji, but Zhao Ji was very calm when faced with an emergency.

He worked in brain surgery before, not every patient can be rescued, and not every family member can maintain restraint and calmness.When a person loses control of his emotions, his hysterical and hideous appearance is not much better than Qu Xiong's current appearance.

Li Nianguang saw that Zhao Ji next to him was so calm, and thought that his boss was not as young as a young man, and he suddenly felt ashamed.

Just as Li Nianguang was about to explode, Qu Xiong, who was being held by the yamen guards on the ground, shouted in a hoarse voice, "Son Zhao Ji, you bastard, don't think that no one can take care of you if you hook up with the national teacher. Miss me, Qu Xiong, a good man who is indomitable in the sky, is defeated by you, a picky bastard, ~ woo woo woo~~ woo~" Maybe the news about Qu Xiong was so explosive that the yamen servants on both sides didn't think to cover his mouth at first.

Li Nianguang glanced at Zhao Ji, showing an expression of sudden realization, it turned out to be like this.

Zhao Ji, "..."

Conscience of heaven and earth, the relationship between him and Yan Yunkai is still innocent and ambiguous.Well, he does have plans for further development.

There was no need to explain this to others. He was in a bad mood at the moment, but it wasn't because he had been slandered.

"Lord Li, who did Qu Xiong meet when he was in prison?"

In order to avoid Zhao Ji's embarrassment, Li Nianguang originally turned his face away. He suddenly heard Zhao Ji's question. Some things are not so detailed, if Mr. Zhao wants to know, I will ask Li Dalai, who is in charge of the cell, to ask."

Zhao Ji nodded, and then explained, "Qu Xiong just yelled at the court, although it was nonsense. But he mentioned the Master of the National Teacher, if he knew that I was on good terms with the Master of the National Teacher before he was arrested, no They may be waiting to die in Sanjiang County."

What happened next, Zhao Ji didn't need to understand it one by one, Li Nianguang also knew it.Zhao Ji recently lived in seclusion and did not go out to show off. The news of his friendship with the national teacher was mostly circulated among the upper-class people in Fucheng. Even the servants in the yamen didn't know.

No matter what the relationship between Zhao Ji and the national teacher is, Li Nianguang can't say it well, and he dare not say it.Anyway, he has been respecting Zhao Ji before, and he will continue to respect Zhao Ji in the future, that's fine.

Li Da had to wait a while to arrive, and Qu Xiong was in the hall. Zhao Ji still thought he could ask him first, so he said to Li Nianguang, "Master Li, ask Qu Xiong first, and see what he has to say."

Li Nianguang knocked on the gavel, and asked, "Prisoner Qu Xiong, whoever sent you the news, is there a remnant of rebellion. You'd better tell the truth, so as not to suffer flesh and blood."

Li Nianguang is not a fool to be able to sit on the position of the sixth-rank general judge. Although he doesn't want to get involved in the rebellion, if Qu Xiong is involved in the rebellion in his hands, he will not be able to get rid of the responsibility if something goes wrong in the end.

Li Nianguang saw that Qu Xiong had become more honest and stopped struggling, so he signaled the Yamen servant to let him go.If you want him to confess, you can't cover his mouth anymore.

After Qu Xiong raised his head, the expression on his face became much calmer, so that the yamen servants relaxed their vigilance, seeing him not speaking for a long time, they even pushed him.Qu Xiong staggered for a moment, raised his head and sneered, "The majestic imperial court official is actually on an equal footing with a male favorite,~~" The yamen servant quickly covered Qu Xiong's mouth.

It was Li Nianguang's idea that Zhao Jigao took the first place, and the servants of course did not dare to have any opinions.

As for Li Nianguang, he felt that if Zhao Ji was willing to personally reverse the case for Zhao Xuanjin, he would not have much opinion if he was asked to give up his seat in court for Zhao Ji.

Li Nianguang is also a person who has experienced ups and downs in the officialdom, and he has a way to curry favor with the Master of the State Teacher, so of course he wants to post it.

But these flattering little thoughts didn't matter to him when he thought about it. Now that he was shouted at face to face, Li Nianguang's face turned black with anger, and he threw down an order and signed, "Twenty boards again."

Zhao Ji's complexion is also not good, who does this Qu Xiong think he is, a righteous man who was framed by a traitor in the drama.

Leaving aside the matter of participating in the rebellion, it is obvious that he is a person who has committed many crimes and murdered people, and has no remorse in his heart.But it's ridiculous to put on a face of justice here.

Zhao Ji was about to be laughed out of anger. Qu Xiong dared to yell in such a state. He didn't know whether to call him brave or stupid.

When Qu Xiong was dragged down to be beaten, he held back his screams a few times before.

His appearance obviously angered the executioners. Afterwards, the servants exerted all their strength and laid down a heavy hand. Qu Xiong soon screamed.

The 3 big boards were played in less than [-] minutes.The battered Qu Xiong was dragged out of the execution room next to him, his face was pale and he was sweating profusely even with his beard blocking him.

His back was soaked with blood, and Li Su'er and Qian Zhen, who were kneeling in the hall, hid to the side, and the thick blood rushed straight to Zhao Ji's nose. They were already used to the strange smell in this room, and now they added With this bloody smell, Zhao Ji felt that he was about to vomit.

It made Zhao Ji, who was used to surgery and the smell of blood, want to vomit, because the sour and rancid smell in this room mixed together, it was really unpleasant.

The first is the rancid smell that the prisoners brought out from the cells. They had been locked up for several days, and they smelled bad, and they didn't clean up when they went to court.There is also the sour and foul smell emanating from the surrounding yamen servants, which makes people want to vomit. The clothes of the yamen servants are only one set in winter and summer, and they are made relatively thick. Coupled with the infrequent changing and washing, the smell can be imagined.

He had never stayed in such a dense crowd before, and this was the first time Zhao Ji felt intuitively that the sanitary conditions in this era were worrying, so people's life spans were very short, and it would be considered good to live past 50 years old.

That's why Zhao Ji agreed to sit next to Li Nianguang. After all, Li Nianguang was very clean, his clothes were scented with incense, and the upper and lower halls were relatively far away.He admired Li Nianguang a little bit for the stench of the yamen servants. Although he was clean, he was surrounded by a cloud of stench all day long, and he didn't know how he could stand it.

Qu Xiong repeatedly mentioned Yan Yunkai, and Zhao Ji suddenly missed Yan Yunkai in this harsh environment.

Yan Yunkai is in the army, so the smell may not be too pleasant. When he comes back, will he become a man with a smell?

Thinking of Yan Yunkai's usual dress and demeanor, Zhao Ji couldn't imagine Yan Yunkai's sloppy appearance.

Zhao Ji felt that in order to live up to Qu Xiong's claim that he was Yan Yunkai's male favourite, he should slander Yan Yunkai and order Yan Yunkai to rectify the personal hygiene and environmental hygiene issues of the soldiers and civilians of the Great Jin Dynasty.

Father Zhao's case was considered closed, and the notice was posted at the gate of the yamen, and the people gradually dispersed after listening to the clerks in the yamen explain the trial process and the verdict.

But Xiao Jinbao and Fan Qing, the butler of the Fan Mansion beside him, did not wait for Zhao Ji to come out, and did not dare to leave.

Next to Zhao Hui was also waiting outside the door, Xiao Jinbao was afraid of being recognized by Zhao Hui, and pretended to use his sleeves to cover the sun, in fact, he was hiding his appearance, but there were fewer and fewer people around him, Zhao Hui looked at Xiao Jinbao with some doubts, This figure seemed familiar.

Xiao Jinbao froze when he was watched, and wanted to turn around and slip away, but was held back by Fan Qing who was next to him, "What, do you want to run?"

"The person in the yellow clothes is a relative of the Zhao family. I'm afraid he will recognize him."

Fan Qing said, "Isn't it better to recognize him? Wouldn't it be good for you to recognize Zhao Ji and say hello to your relatives first?"

Xiao Jinbao is not a person who commits crimes all the year round, and if he wants to do bad things occasionally, he still has a guilty conscience after all.After being looked at by Zhao Hui twice, he wanted to run away.

Under Fan Qing's threat, Xiao Jinbao put on a stiff smile, walked up to Zhao Hui and said, "Brother Zhao, you don't know me anymore."

Of course Zhao Hui and Xiao Jinbao knew each other, but the Xiao family and the Zhao family hadn’t been in contact with each other for a few years. Zhao Hui and Xiao Jinbao rarely met each other. Now Xiao Jinbao recognized him when he greeted him. But he didn't have a good face, "So it's Boss Xiao, it's rare." Then he ignored it.

If in the past, Xiao Jinbao could find a lot of things to say even if Zhao Hui ignored him with his quick mouth, today he was restless and he had nothing to say. Like two door gods.

Zhao Ji is still in the stinky courtroom now, and he doesn't know that Xiao Jinbao is still waiting for him outside the door. He almost forgot about meeting Xiao Jinbao before entering the door.

Because Li Da, who was in charge of the cell, said that no one visited Qu Xiong during his detention.In other words, the suspect can only be the jailer of the Yamen.It would be very troublesome to interrogate them one by one. The easiest way is to find the answer from Qu Xiong.

Except for Zhao's father's case, Zhao Ji didn't want to get involved in other matters, but Qu Xiong repeatedly mentioned Yan Yunkai, which made Zhao Ji care.

But Qu Xiong was tortured, and he didn't say anything. Zhao Ji was anxious. Li Tian, ​​who was hiding in the shadow behind, quietly stepped forward and handed Zhao Ji a note, "Mr. Yamen, there must be nothing to find out, we will investigate this matter ourselves."

Zhao Ji thought about it, it would be better to leave this stinking environment first, so he stood up and cupped his hands to Li Nianguang, "The next case has nothing to do with my father's case, so I will take my leave first."

"Please, please."

Zhao Ji walked past Qu Xiong, and finally couldn't help but sneered, "Qu Xiong, you are so arrogant, you clenched your teeth and refused to confess, do you think that Wei Wang's rebellion will succeed, and someone will rescue you? I advise you not to wishful thinking .”
