Chapter 253 Counterfeit
Qin Huiyin saw that the shoe uppers were not tattered, but very simple and old, and did not match the silk and satin outfit at all.
Looking at the so-called prince, he has a handsome appearance, but does not have the temperament of a rich young master.
Fake?
Who ordered it?
In the past few days, she has tried all kinds of ways and means, but still can't break this situation. If the dog governor hasn't changed his mind by the day when Song Ruize is beheaded, the thin monkey's suggestion of robbing the execution ground is probably the last resort. But in this way, Song Ruize's situation will become the same as the original plot, and it may be even more miserable and sad than the original plot.
This person is unfamiliar and I have never seen him before.
Qin Huiyin clenched her palms and watched the developments in the court nervously.
At this time, witnesses from Song Ruize's side also came forward to testify to the evil deeds done by Qian Baotou.
"Governor Jiang, this Qian Baotou is really powerful. He can kill people at will. He is more daring than the royal relatives in the capital. It's true that the emperor is far away and the sky is high. This ruffian lives a much more comfortable life than us princes." The 'prince' looked at Governor Jiang and said sarcastically.
Jiang Ruji said quickly, "My Lord, there are so many lives at stake. We can't just rely on their one-sided statements, right?"
"Can't we rely on one side's testimony? Wasn't the previous verdict on the man surnamed Song based on someone's one-sided testimony?"
"Your Highness is absolutely right." Jiang Ruji smiled apologetically.
"You guys decide the case. I just came here to have a drink with Lord Wen. Lord Wen and my old man are chess friends. My old man asked me to urge him to return to Beijing as soon as possible to play chess."
Jiang Ruji's face was already overcast with dark clouds.
The sudden appearance of Cheng Yaojin ruined all his plans. He could no longer attack the man surnamed Wen, nor could he take the credit for the dam.
Qian Baotou bribed Jiang Ruji and was dreaming of becoming the chief Baotou. When he was enjoying himself with a young girl in the brothel, government officials broke in and took him away.
When he entered the courtroom and saw so many people surrounding him and Jiang Ruji's unhappy face, he immediately realized that something was wrong.
As expected, the next development was that Qian Baotou's murder and framing of Song Ruize and others was exposed, and Song Ruize and others were sentenced to be released on the spot.
"Sir, I don't accept it..." Qian Baotou shouted. "Can I be proven guilty of murder based on just one person's testimony?"
"If Li Chun's words cannot prove the evil you have done, then what about this person?" County Magistrate Zhong slammed the gavel. "Take Xiang Dali."
Qian Baotou looked at the door in shock.
Xiang Dali was escorted in.
Xiang Dali avoided Qian Baotou's sight and knelt in the court. He described Qian Baotou's actions in detail and also mentioned the evil things Qian Baotou had done before.
Qian Baotou knew he was doomed when he saw Xiang Dali appear.
Xiang Dali is his most trusted right-hand man. He has taken Xiang Dali with him in everything he does over the years. No one knows what he has done better than him.
Qian Baotou rushed towards Xiang Dali and grabbed his neck: "I'm going to kill you, you ungrateful bastard."
The yamen runners nearby hurriedly stopped him.
Xiang Dali touched his neck and started coughing laboriously beside him.
The case was settled, and Magistrate Zhong made the final judgment. Qian Baotou was beheaded three days later because he killed so many people for his own selfishness.
This was the time that Song Ruize was originally scheduled to be beheaded, but now it was Qian Baotou's turn. The common people outside cheered and said that County Magistrate Zhong was upright and honest and was a great judge.
Magistrate Zhong judged the case, but he felt complicated.
His wife and children were still in Jiang Ruji's hands. If he wanted to harm them, he, a small county magistrate, would be powerless.
He did not seek promotion or wealth, but only wanted his family to be worry-free. However, now even this small wish has become a luxury.
However, he did not let innocent people die in vain, allowing them to be reunited with their families. Perhaps this is the meaning of his sacrifice!
"Dad..." A chubby boy ran in from the door and ran towards the direction of County Magistrate Zhong.
When County Magistrate Zhong saw the boy, his eyes were filled with shock.
"Why are you here?"
He looked his son up and down and found that he was in good health, with an excited look on his face.
The 'Prince' stood up and left.
Jiang Ruji's men leaned over and asked, "Sir, what should we do now?"
"What else can I do?" Jiang Ruji said coldly, "That person has a strong backer. If he writes a letter to the capital, I will be in trouble. I have no choice but to accept it this time."
What bad luck! There are nobles from the capital city in such a poor and remote place.
Qin Huiyin supported Song Ruize: "Brother."
Song Ruize forced a faint smile: "It's okay."
Chen Yong simply carried Song Ruize on his back, saluted to County Magistrate Zhong, and ran outside with him.
Song Ruize was tortured and was so weak that he couldn't even speak. Since he was found not guilty, he had to go to the hospital for treatment as soon as possible.
Qin Huiyin followed.
Li Taohua held Qin Huiyin's hand and said, "Mom won't go. It's not good for him to be surrounded by so many people. Governor Jiang hasn't left yet, so you should be careful."
"Don't worry, mother." Qin Huiyin looked up and saw the 'prince' talking to Xue Weifeng.
Li Taohua noticed that her gaze was different, so she followed her gaze and saw the same scene.
The mother and daughter looked at each other and a tacit idea came into their minds.
Doctor Wei looked at Song Ruize's injuries and said to Qin Huiyin, "Wait outside. I'll apply medicine to him."
"Why can't I watch it?" Qin Huiyin was worried.
"I'm going to take off his clothes. What are you doing here, a little girl? Get out."
Tang Yi said with a smile: "Second sister, I'm afraid there is not a single piece of good meat on his body, don't scare you. You wait outside, I'll stay here."
"OK."
Qin Huiyin stayed outside, listening to the sounds inside.
Doctor Wei was applying medicine to Song Ruize while teaching Tang Yi to smile, but Song Ruize didn't make a sound.
"Look at his wound. It's obvious that he was beaten with a barbed whip. Every time it is swung, the skin and flesh are torn apart, and the spikes inside will remain in the body. When we clean this kind of wound, we must be careful to remove the barbs. Although it will make him more painful if the wound is opened again, it is better for him to suffer now than to have the consequences of growing together with flesh and blood in the future. And this... This is obviously burned with a branding iron, and the wound is festering..."
Song Ruize, who had been silent the whole time, said, "Can you teach your apprentice another day? You will scare my sister if you say that."
"You look pretty good. You can still talk so much despite being injured like this. You're even more talkative than before you were injured." Doctor Wei said, "You're pretty patient. But you're lucky. You'll have good fortune in the future after surviving this disaster."
Song Ruize said: "I survived a disaster because someone didn't want me to die."
As long as she still needs him as a brother, he will not let himself die.
He had not been idle these days and had already made preparations to escape from prison. But he did not expect that silly girl could do this for him.
