Chapter 67 We caught a thief! (Part 2)(1/2)
Lu Ming Street is behind the crowd.
Liu Ziwen looked at Liu Zilin on the field calmly and signaled to him the grain merchants and gentry at the county yamen.
The latter seemed to be clear and nodded slightly.
From the moment Liu Ziwen's attention has been on the grounds of the grain merchants and gentry who have just been promoted to the court to the present, his brows have been slightly frowning, as if he is worried about something.
Even Liu Ziwen, the woman who was shouting with her head held high, just glanced at the side, and then refocused the young county magistrate and grain merchants, and the gentry went.
His temperament is stronger than he thought, but the more he is, the easier it is to kill his heart.
If so.
On the field, Liu Zilin, who came to his senses, sneered and shook his head:
"Don't be too quick, this is not your home. Please take it away with the young lady's temper. Everyone has seen it. The evidence and physical evidence are there, and the white and black words also say that Ying Niang is my servant, and she is still quibbling? Today, the county magistrate cannot protect you!"
"I don't need the county magistrate's protection. I don't lack money, so I can't steal it. I paid the money but you missed it. I deliberately turned it over and made a raid!"
"If you don't lack money, you can do this kind of theft, that's an addiction! As a magistrate under the county magistrate, he stretched out his hands everywhere. Today he was a slave to the grass people, what would he steal next time..."
Liu Zilin's face suddenly became clear:
"Oh, I forgot, there is really no need to steal. The master stretched out his hand. Other wealthy businessmen and gentry must hand over the money obediently. This is not called stealing, it is filial piety, right? In the county government, there are so many wealthy businessmen dealing with each other every day, how much filial piety has he received!"
Xie Lingjiang's nose wings tremble:
"I have never received filial piety! I have never received a penny gift by my senior brother. I will pay for everything I do!"
Luo Er, who was standing aside, took the opportunity to interrupt: "Even a Hu slave steals and robs him, is domineering, and says he has confiscated 'filial piety', who believes it!"
"I'll say it again, I didn't steal it. It was you three people, snakes and rats who colluded to make people clear their innocence..."
Liu Zilin ignored her at all, and didn't even look at Ouyang Rong. He turned around, his eyes were like a wolf, looking around the audience, and shouted:
"The county magistrate said that he came to Longcheng just to uphold justice, but the people under his command were not clean and he took things everywhere. The county magistrate didn't speak and let it go.
"The county government has lost justice, and what business and deal with it? Isn't it just waiting to be slaughtered? Anyway, Caomin is afraid. Today, Caomin is ignorant and dare not beat drums to ask for justice again. This time, I will be considered a loss in silence. Forget it. It's already very good that the county magistrate can help me return the person. The little people are only grateful..."
There was something in these words that spread throughout the audience.
Wang Caozhi, Ma Zhangui, Li Zhangui, Wu Bo, and Cheng's head had different faces, either hesitating, strange, or fun, but the expressions of some small gentry and grain merchants had begun to shake, and they frequently looked at a silent young county magistrate.
Liu Ziwen, who was behind the crowd, nodded slightly, quite satisfied.
On the steps of the county government gate, Yan Liulang couldn't help but feel worried.
Liu Zilin and other rogues care about what slaves belong to and what justice they want.
Even slandering Miss Xie is not the primary goal of this trap.
They are targeting Mingfu!
It is clearly a game of disaster.
It is useless for Miss Xie to passively prove her innocence.
Liu Zilin and the others didn't care whether she had stolen or not, they just wanted to pour dirty water on Mingfu.
Yan Liulang had seen this method a few years ago in an old jailer who interrogated a prisoner in prison.
The Blue-clothed Constable was anxious, and on the other side, Liu Zilin took Luo Er with a sarcastic spirit, and the more he smeared, the darker he became.
Xie Lingjiang couldn't help it, so he reached out and pulled out the scimitar from the waist of the little detective next to him. The scabbard was empty for a few breaths, but the latter didn't even come back to his senses.
"All it's up to you, just talk about the matter. You are not allowed to defile Senior Brother!"
Xie Lingjiang grabbed the knife with his back hand and rushed out like a rabbit.
Damn! Liu Zilin's eyelids twitched violently and he ran away with his head in his arms: "Help, the county magistrate killed someone..."
"No, put down your knife!"
Ouyang Rong scolded him softly.
The senior brother's voice made Xie Lingjiang stop immediately, and the knife swayed and landed on the ground at his feet.
Liu Zilin, who fell down in panic, was helped up from the ground by Luo Er. He looked at Xie Lingjiang with a cold face with lingering fear, feeling a little regretful.
Why is this little girl so scared that she dares to kill people in court!
Liu Zilin felt very cold on his back, and cold sweat soaked his shirt on his back.
But before he could think about it, Ouyang Rong said:
"This is a court, not a vegetable market where you quarrel!"
Liu Zilin returned to his original position and asked without a smile: "Have the county magistrate thought about how to 'appropriately' and fair?"
"Is this necessary to think about it?"
The young county magistrate looked at the contractual evidence on the case, then looked at Luo Er and Ying Niang below, and asked curiously:
"Isn't this justice obvious?"
Liu Zilin was a little stunned, nodded, and felt bored:
"Then hurry up and sentence it. The grass-roots people remember that our Great Zhou law stipulates that theft is more than one-man, slaughtered for seventy years, and theft is more than ten scattered. Not only do you tattoo the face, but you also have to be exiled to Lingnan for three years. This Hu Ji slave must be more expensive than ten scattered money when he is speaking. The county magistrate should not have a good memory."
Ouyang Rong nodded and looked at him: "You remember it clearly for me."
Liu Zilin snorted coldly and sneered in his heart.
He didn't believe that Ouyang Rongzhen would let his junior sister tattoo her face and be exiled to work hard, and would definitely find ways to reduce her sentence and be lenient.
And once such "evil and ugly behavior" fell into the eyes of the people, gentry, and grain merchants, wasn't it against justice? What Liu Zilin said before was no longer groundless in everyone's ears!
Justice and junior sister always suffer, especially the former, which can directly declare all efforts of the county magistrate to go bankrupt over the past few days, because this is the promise he made on the first day of taking office...
Come on, see how ugly you are.
Liu Zilin and Liu Ziwen, who was behind the crowd, looked at each other tacitly again, with a smile in their eyes.
However, Ouyang Rong's performance was slightly beyond their expectations.
Bang!
He slapped the table and poked his index finger off the audience in front of everyone in the audience, and announced seriously:
"Obviously, you have a thief! A shameless thief!"
Xie Lingjiang's body froze. Even if she was slandered, she had never lost her composure. At this moment, her senior brother didn't ask. The decisive words made the slender figure of the men's dressed girl shaking.
Liu Zilin's face was a little surprised, and he didn't expect it to be so refreshing.
"Constable Yan, take down the person first!" Ouyang Rong's face was solemn.
Yan Liulang hesitated, "This...this..."
"I ordered you to take down the person!" he stared.
Yan Liulang, with the eyes of the audience, shook his feet with his teeth, walked to the pale Xie Lingjiang, and bowed awkwardly: "I offended, Miss Xie..."
"No, why are you taking her down? Go and take Liu Zilin down!" Ouyang Rong frowned speechlessly.
"Ah..." The blue-clothed detective opened his mouth wide. The next second, his eyes were sharp and he moved like a rabbit. He stepped across the distance from Liu Zilin in one step, captured the thief on the spot, pressed it to the ground, tied a rope, and his face was very focused.
“…” the audience.
Xie Lingjiang was stunned.
Liu Zilin had not reacted until the ropes were tied up on her body. Her expression was in a state of confusion throughout the whole process. Liu Ziwen, who was behind the crowd not far away, was not much better, and was a little stunned.
I don’t know that most of the people on the field were stunned.
"What are you doing? Why don't you tie her up? I'm a good citizen, I'm a good citizen! It's unfair..."
"Stop calling, you thief, tie up first, and you're afraid you'll run away."
"Thief? What did I steal? I don't accept it!" Liu Zilin stung his thick red neck.
Ouyang Rong picked up the crystal clear night pearl on the table and asked:
"You just asked Luo Er to use this and buy Ying Niang back from Yuanminglou?"
Liu Zilin bit his bullet and pointed his head.
Ouyang Rong looked at him for a while and took a photo of the public case:
"Fart! This is clearly my official's thing, how is it in your hands?"
Liu Zilin and Luo Er were both shocked and caught off guard. After looking at each other, the former looked at Ouyang Rong's burning gaze and said quietly:
"How is this possible...this is mine. The night pearls in this world are almost the same. It is normal to encounter similar ones."
"It's okay, I have evidence of the person and physical evidence."
Ouyang Rong said leisurely, and he waved his hand to call Yan Liulang and gave a few instructions. The latter left with a somewhat intriguing expression.
Not long after, under the surprised gaze of Liu Ziwen and everyone in the audience, Yan Liulang brought four old shopkeepers of the West City Pawnshop from outside, and Ouyang Rong handed them the crystal clear bead in his hand.
"Do you still remember this official who was wearing casual clothes on that day and once asked your bank for the price."
The four old shopkeepers only glanced at each other and nodded one after another. Someone guessed that they were quite impressed by their handsome face... The shopkeepers smiled bitterly and apologized that they did not recognize the county magistrate at that time. The young county magistrate just shook his head and said:
To be continued...
