Chapter 119: The Dog Official Kills His Relatives for the Sake of Justice
The next morning, Ning County became bustling.
The thief who was wanted all over the city was caught.
The magistrate of Ning County has not done anything good for many years. Even though the people are curious about who this thief is, he even emptied the county government office.
But I didn't have the courage to watch.
At most, there were a few brave ones who stood across the street from the government office, tiptoeing to see what was going on inside.
Not to mention them, even the legal advisor who was in cahoots with the county magistrate was confused.
The thief was caught
When was it caught? How come he doesn't know?
The county magistrate's words "open the court" made the legal advisor come to his senses.
Before he could say a word, the county magistrate slammed the gavel and said, "Master, do you admit your guilt?"
ah
The lawyer's forehead was full of question marks.
Before he could react, a bailiff came out, pulled him up from the chair and pressed him to the ground.
The lawyer tried to struggle, but the bailiff was so strong that he couldn't even move.
The county magistrate coldly questioned: "Master, you took advantage of your position to collude with others and steal from the government office. You deserve the death penalty. Will you plead guilty?"
The lawyer was sweating profusely and tried hard to raise his head.
Seeing the cold gaze of the "county magistrate" above him, he felt more and more uneasy.
No, that's not right.
He opened his mouth to shout that there was something wrong, but before he could make a sound, he felt his body go numb, completely lost his strength, and collapsed to the ground.
To outsiders, this was irrefutable evidence.
The people watching the show outside were all excited.
I never thought that the real culprit of the theft in the government office was actually the legal advisor.
Yes, apart from him and others working together, which other thief has such great ability to empty the county government office without anyone noticing?
But aren't the legal advisor and the county magistrate birds of a feather?
Over the years, the two have colluded with each other and done countless bad things. The people of Ning County know very well.
Now what's going on?
A dog-eat-dog quarrel
Is this another act?
The county magistrate would not suffer the consequences if the county government office was robbed. This would be another excuse to plunder.
Before the people could figure out what was going on, the county magistrate had already spoken.
"Beat him! Beat him to death!"
Really playing?
The people were boiling again.
In an instant, everyone ran around to tell each other.
"Come and see, Master Termitor has been beaten."
"It was the order given by the county magistrate himself."
More and more people gathered in front of the county government office.
The more the people watched, the more excited they became.
"My goodness, it doesn't look fake. There's blood all over the floor."
"I can't believe it! Master is a real man. Even after being beaten like this, he didn't say a word. I'm almost losing my temper. I really want to do it myself to see how tough he is."
"Hey, hey, hey, the county magistrate doesn't really want to beat him to death, does he? He's breathing less and less."
"Oh my! I really can't bear to see such a bloody scene. Make way! Why are you pushing so hard? You're blocking my view."
…
Lu Wanyin and Xie Jingci stood at a high vantage point opposite the yamen, and had a clear view of the situation inside the yamen.
She saw all the little movements of the yamen runner.
She couldn't help but glance at Xie Jingci: "You are so cruel. You don't even give me a chance to speak."
That person should be the one arranged by Xie Jingci to work in the county government office to assist the fake county magistrate.
Xie Jingci listened to Lu Wanyin's sigh and thought she was just praising him: "It seems that it is still not enough at the moment."
Lu Wanyin became excited: "What do you want to do now?"
Is something going to happen again?
She likes it.
Xie Jingci did not hide anything from Lu Wanyin: "Madam wants to renovate the academy here and rebuild the private school. The people sent by the Hou family must be monitored immediately. There are only two people, which is obviously not enough."
Lu Wanyin understood.
She now admires Xie Jingci even more.
This man always thinks of everything so carefully.
She had just come up with the idea of reorganizing the academy and private school last night, and he had already started arranging personnel.
What should I do if I suddenly feel sympathy for the Hou family?
The person was sidelined before he even arrived.
Lu Wanyin looked at Xie Jingci who was distracted and couldn't help but sigh again and again.
Xie Jingci was puzzled by her gaze and couldn't help but look at himself again and again: "What's wrong?"
"Nothing."
Lu Wanyin couldn't help but sigh again: "I just feel that, my husband, you... have been wronged."
She really didn't know what to say.
Xie Jingci was a meticulous man. Even when he was in exile, he was able to mobilize so many people.
So, in his first life, how did he manage to be captured by the Dog Emperor under such circumstances?
She couldn't help but reach out and pinch the side of his face, then stared at him for a long time.
Lu Wanyin then spoke: "My husband, that dog emperor is so eager to kill you, is it really just because you are more powerful than him? Is there another hidden reason?"
Xie Jingci was about to grab her hand for causing trouble, but paused.
There was a sharp flash in his eyes for a moment.
He patted Lu Wanyin's hand and gestured to the crowd below: "Look, the government office is bustling again."
Lu Wanyin quickly looked down as he pointed, and threw aside the unfinished question.
In the government office, in front of the astonished eyes of the people, the legal advisor was actually beaten to death with a stick.
When the body was dragged out by the yamen runners, no one could react.
Ning County was beaten to death by their own people.
The people were still in shock when they heard the magistrate continue, "This case has been closed. There is another case of grave importance that must be retried. Someone, bring Peng Juncai up here."
Peng Juncai
The county magistrate might have said the wrong person.
The bailiff who had just held down the legal advisor received the order and came out of the court.
After a while, a burst of cursing was heard.
"You slave, are you tired of living? How dare you treat me like this, young master? I'll let my father peel off your skin."
The people were completely petrified.
They were so familiar with this voice.
Isn't it Peng Juncai?
Everyone turned around stiffly and saw the bailiff dragging someone in.
The man kept cursing and struggling, but he couldn't break free.
He was dragged all the way into the court like a dead dog.
The people hurried to see the county magistrate's expression.
I saw that his face looked a little ugly, but he didn't say anything to stop it.
Everyone thought that he was unhappy to see his son suffer this punishment, but only a few people knew about it.
He was simply mad at the sight of this scumbag.
The bailiff did not show any mercy to Peng Juncai. He threw him into the middle of the court and returned to his seat with a cold face.
Peng Juncai jumped up from the ground, grimacing in pain.
It's been a bumpy road.
He didn't even have time to stand up.
He crashed into any stone threshold.
He even hit his head twice against the corner of the wall and got two big bumps.
As soon as Peng Juncai stood firm, he pointed at the yamen runner angrily and said, "Dad, I want to kill this dog slave."
“Bold!”
The county magistrate slammed the gavel and said, "You are shouting in court, adding crime to crime. You rebellious son, kneel down now!"
