The magistrate Xu Qi had already received a report and knew the origin of the drumbeater today. His actions just now were just a process.

Unexpectedly, Zhou said in a shocking way and wanted to sue his mother-in-law! This was a great disfiance. However, after hearing his grievance, his face darkened inch by inch.

Ji Qingnaiyi Village has the only scholar in decades, but unfortunately he died young. This is Zhou family... He still remembers that someone came to check her origin the day before yesterday. With grievances and nobles protecting each other, Xu Qi naturally did not dare to be careless.

"The person who came here was told that Liu, Li, and related witnesses."

"yes."

A constable immediately took the order to go to Yeyi Village.

"Sir, the youngest daughter of the minister, Ji Rong, has just been sent home by his nephew Ji Cheng. The shopkeeper and doctor of Dejitang are treated. The girl is seriously injured and cannot enter the church. Please ask the adult to summon the shopkeeper of Dejitang to ask."

Xu Qi nodded and ordered the person to go, then said, "Since you are the wife of a scholar, you don't have to kneel down to my official position, please get up."

He looked at Ji Ping, who was kneeling beside her, "Who are you?"

Zhou said: "Sir, this is Ji Ping, the eldest son of the uncle of the civilian woman. He just sent the civilian woman and others to the town for medical treatment."

"Oh." Xu Qi realized, "Get up."

"Sir Xie."

Yi Village is between Langui Town and Deng County, twenty miles away. The constable rode his horse away, but when he came back, he had to walk with the witness. No matter how fast it was, it would take more than an hour to go back and forth. So the shopkeeper of Dejitang arrived first.

"Sir, the day before yesterday, this little girl did sell ginseng in the second shop. The little girl paid 50 taels of silver with an account book as evidence. Today, this girl came to the store with her sister on her back for medical treatment. The injury was in the brain and lost a lot of blood, which was caused by external impact."

He also brought the daily record book, obviously he was prepared.

Xu Qi glanced at the Zhou mother and daughter and knew it.

“Show it.”

Dejitang's reputation is there, and he can trust the shopkeeper's character and medical skills. Checking the account records is just a process.

"I have known the details, please step down."

"yes."

Xu Qi asked about some details about Zhou’s lawsuit just now. Zhou did not add any more to the fire and reported it all according to the facts.

The villagers are obvious to Liu's harshness and narrow-mindedness, Li's sinisterness and viciousness, and her daughter's arrogance and ruthlessness. She is not afraid of being slanted by the shadows, and she has a person who has not lost her conscience to testify for her.

After waiting for about half an hour, the constable who went to summon witnesses came back, followed by Wu Yangyang, a dozen men, women, and young men.

There were Zhao Cheng, the Feng family’s father and brother, several elders who presided over the division of the family that day, and several villagers who usually treated Liu and Li.

Of course, there are Liu, Li and Ji Yun.

Because they were the defendant, all three of them were wearing shackles.

Ji Yun's eyes were red, obviously crying, and his face was full of fear. Liu and Li were also shocked. Obviously, they didn't expect that Zhou's mother and daughter would really dare to go to the county government to sue them. As soon as they entered the government office, they saw Zhou's mother and daughter, Liu said angrily: "You unfilial daughter-in-law, you dare to falsely accuse your mother-in-law..."

She cursed angrily and was about to step forward and slap Zhou.

Before he could meet Zhou, he was pulled hard by a detective beside him and kicked her knee. Xu Qi shouted in a deep voice: "In the court, how dare you commit a murder and hurt someone, kneel down!"

Liu was so scared that his legs were weak and collapsed to the ground.

Li and Ji Yun also knelt down with a plop, and the others in Yi Village all knelt down and bowed one by one.

Xu Qi patted the arson again, "Where are the Liu and Li clans in the Ji family?"

"Return...to the words of the sir."

Liu looked so powerful, but in fact he was a paper tiger with a stern and timid appearance. He had been unable to speak when he drank it. Li said tremblingly: "Only, that's right."

"Who is it?"

Zhao Cheng whispered loudly: "Sir, Zhao Cheng, a commoner, is the official in Yi Village."

Xu Qi asked: "The Ji family is divided, but are you the chief evidence?"

"yes."

Zhao Cheng was not timid, "There were several elders in the village that day, and there were words to prove it."

There was one copy of the three houses of the Ji family, and there was one copy of Zhao Cheng. He was entrusted by Miao and brought the document of the Ji family's eldest house. As for the three houses, they were also found by the constable. Zhou had planned to take the evidence before leaving, so he naturally brought the evidence with him and had just given it to Xu Qi to see.

The master nodded to Xu Qi by pairing the four characters according to the contents, "Sir, the content is the same, there is a signature handprint, not a forgery."

Xu Qi asked him to read the paper that Zhou had just told him to record.

"Liu, Li, can you admit your guilt?"

Liu and Li were so scared that their faces were gone.

"Adult, the civilian woman is wronged..."

Xu Qi slapped the gavel again, "Where is the witness?"

The father and brother of Feng's family spoke first, "Reply to the words of the master, what Zhou said is indeed detailed. Li's daughter pushed her back on that day... When Ji Wan entered the river, the waiter witnessed it with his own eyes."

Feng Shan immediately responded loudly.

Li's face turned pale and argued: "The boy from the Feng family has always been close to Ji Wan, so he naturally protects her everywhere. Adult, the little girl is only eight years old, how can she hurt someone?"

"Sir, the civilian woman also saw it."

Ma, who was several families separated from the Ji family, shouted: "At that time, the civilian woman was washing clothes by the river and even dissuaded her. Ji Yun slapped her little girl in the face and then pushed the second girl of the Ji family into the river."

"The grass people saw it too."

Several people came forward to testify, and everyone talked about it, but Li could no longer tell the difference. He was shocked, angry, anxious and afraid.

"You, you are in a mess, you are all Zhou's money to get fake certificates..."

Xu Qi shot the awkward again, "How can the troublemakers be allowed to make noise in the court? If you drag the person down, you will be responsible for twenty years!"

"yes."

Two detectives came over without expression, and each pulled one of Li's arms and dragged her down.

Li was so handsome that he cried and begged: "Sir, please spare me, the civilian woman will never dare to do it again, please spare me..."

The stool has been brought in, and each of the two constables holds a stick.

Pa, pa, pa—

The sound of the board hitting the body mixed with Li's screams, which made people shudder and fearful.

Ji Yun was so scared that he cried loudly.

"Mom, I'm afraid, Mom... Grandma, save Mom, save Mom..."

She cried and went to pull Liu, hoping that her grandmother could save her mother.

Zhou held his daughter's hand and refused to let her see Li be punished.

"Are you Ji Yun?" Xu Qi was impatient by Ji Yun's crying, and then another agitated sound, and said in a deep voice: "Three days ago, can you push your cousin into the river? If there is a lie, you will be tortured with your mother!"

Xu Qi clearly favored Zhou's mother and daughter, and everyone could hear it.

Ji Yun has never seen this scene? He is so scared that he can't speak, and only cry.
