Only after receiving Xiyue's affirmative answer did Lin Jiuyue believe this fact.

"Oh my god, is my mouth blessed? I guessed it right without thinking!"

Lin Jiuyue muttered to herself.

Since Liu He confessed to the murder, the case did not last long before the county magistrate asked Liu He to sign and seal the document.

Seeing Liu He's signature, Lin Jiuyue thought the case was over. But suddenly a shout rang out.

“Wait!”

"Xiyue, why does this voice sound so familiar?"

"Miss, have you forgotten? The owner of this voice is the county magistrate's son."

Hearing Xiyue's words, Lin Jiuyue instantly remembered who the county magistrate's son was.

"Ah? Isn't the county magistrate the one who fell in love with Lin Jinlian at first sight and paid off her debts?"

After Lin Jiuyue finished speaking, she felt somewhat relieved.

Fortunately, Lin Jinlian had some skills. Before her death, she hooked up with the son of a county magistrate and returned the forty taels of silver she had borrowed from him.

Otherwise, by now, the person has died, and not only would the money I lent be wasted, but I wouldn't even be able to get the person back.

"Oh, so to speak, your daughter is quite lucky. I was able to get back the dozens of taels of silver I lent her."

Lin Jiuyue didn't feel much about the murder of Lin Dongming's family.

Firstly, it was because he was not the original owner, but also because Lin Dongming's family treated the original owner badly. In Lin Dongming's house, he had been beaten and scolded. He was no different from a servant.

The county magistrate frowned unhappily when he saw his son barging into the county government office. He then whispered to the legal advisor beside him.

"Why is the young master here? Hurry up and have him taken away. Don't let him cause any trouble. This is the county government office, not the mansion."

After hearing this, the lawyer silently winked at the servant beside the county magistrate's son.

When the servant saw the master winking at him, he subconsciously lowered his head.

I am just a servant, and a servant of the young master. There is no reason for me to listen to others and not my own young master.

If I go up to stop the young master now, and he blames me, there will be no one to take the punishment for me.

"Your Excellency, the deceased, Lin Jinlian, was an old acquaintance of mine. Now, all four members of her family have perished at the hands of this evil creature. I implore your Excellency to punish this evil creature severely. This will comfort the deceased's soul in heaven."

Lin Jiuyue watched the scene in front of her as if she was watching a fun event.

When I met the county magistrate's son in the teahouse before, he always gave me the impression that he was not very smart.

Unexpectedly, once it came to a big issue, the county magistrate's son's intelligence was back on track. He even knew to call his father "County Magistrate" in public.

Lin Jiuyue made two "tsk tsk" sounds.

Although technology was not developed in ancient times, people's IQ was still very high, especially those in wealthy families who had special teachers.

"Yes. Liu He is guilty of intentional homicide. The circumstances are serious. I have sentenced him to death in the autumn."

After the county magistrate finished speaking, he nodded with satisfaction.

I thought my son was going to cause trouble in court this time, but I didn't expect that he would do something like a decent person.

When the county magistrate heard his father say that Liu He was sentenced to death, he frowned in dissatisfaction.

What kind of person is this from Liuhe? How dare he kill the person he likes! The key point is that he even paid off dozens of taels of silver in foreign debt for Lin Jinlian!

Now that Lin Jinlian's family has been killed, isn't it equivalent to his dozens of taels of silver being wasted?

No, skipping stones on the water can make a sound, but I haven’t even touched Lin Jinlian’s hand properly!

What a loss!

"The county magistrate is fair and honest. Thank you for your decision to judge the deceased."

The county magistrate's son said nice things, but his eyes actually revealed hatred for Liu He.

However, Liu He has now been sentenced to death, and even if he wants to teach him a lesson, he can't find an opportunity.

I can't go to the prison and teach a death row inmate a lesson, right? Wouldn't that lower my status?

Besides, prison is not a good place. If I go there, I’m afraid of being infected with bad luck.

"Miss, there's something wrong with the way the county magistrate looks at Liu He."

Lin Jiuyue said calmly.

"Liu He liked Lin Jinlian, and the county magistrate's son also liked Lin Jinlian. They were rivals in love. Now that Lin Jinlian is dead, it's understandable that the county magistrate's son hates Liu He."

Xiyue nodded thoughtfully.

"Miss, tell me, since the county magistrate hates Liu He so much, will he attack him?"

Lin Jiuyue shook her head uncertainly.

"That shouldn't be the case, right? The county magistrate shouldn't be that stupid! Even if he were, he wouldn't have the time to cause trouble for someone else just for a woman he'd only met once, right?"

Not to mention that Lin Jinlian is already dead, the fact that Liu He has been sentenced to death alone means that the county magistrate's son will not cause trouble for Liu He again.

After all, the person has been sentenced to death. If the county magistrate's son still holds on to this matter, if it gets out, it will affect the county magistrate's reputation.

Even if the county magistrate's son wanted to do this, I believe the county magistrate would not agree.

"Yes, that's true. I just saw that the look in the County Magistrate's eyes when he looked at Liu He seemed a little strange. Now it seems that I was overthinking it."

After the case was over, the onlookers left in twos and threes, seeing that there was nothing exciting to watch.

On the way out, the people discussed the news they heard in the yamen.

Before long, the news that Liu He from Xiangyang Village had killed four people in a row spread throughout the town.

Lin Jiuyue had been walking on the street for no more than an hour since leaving the county government office, and had already heard countless groups of people talking.

"Xiyue, are you hungry? Let's go have breakfast. Oh, no, it's time for lunch."

I had originally planned to come to the town to eat a variety of breakfasts, but when I heard about the trial in the yamen, I forgot about having breakfast.

Lin Jiuyue touched her stomach, which was growling with hunger.

Xiyue covered her mouth and smiled secretly.

"Miss, when you were leaving, I told you to eat at home before leaving, but you refused to believe me and insisted on eating on the street. Now you're hungry, aren't you?

Lin Jiuyue waved her hand indifferently.

"It's okay. We just missed breakfast. What's there to be afraid of? Think about it, on the battlefield, many soldiers may not even have a meal a day. What's this for us?"

Speaking of the soldiers on the battlefield, Lin Jiuyue couldn't help but think of Lin Qiye who was on the battlefield.

"Speaking of which, Qiye hasn't written to me in a few days. I don't know how he's doing now, or whether he's safe."

Xiyue felt mixed emotions when she saw that Lin Jiuyue, who was just talking and laughing, suddenly became a little sad.
