Xiyue: ...
See, I guessed right. My young lady really wants to go to the town to watch the fun.
"Yes, miss."
Lin Jiuyue was thinking about the murder case in Xiangyang Village at the moment, and her desire for delicious food had been put behind watching the fun.
"Xiyue? Who are the four people who were killed in Xiangyang Village?"
"Oh, four people, could they be Lin Dongming's family?"
In the entire Xiangyang Village, Lin Jiuyue only knew Village Chief Liu and Lin Dongming's family.
When they heard that the murderer was the son of Village Chief Liu, they subconsciously attributed the victim to Lin Dongming's family.
"Miss, I don't know..."
Lin Jiuyue smiled,
"Oh, I forgot you've been with me, your young lady."
"But it doesn't matter if we don't know. We can find out by asking around in town."
The matter of Xiangyang Village has probably been spread to the whole town by now. If I ask around a little, I can find out the general situation.
The carriage sped along the road and soon arrived at the town.
Lin Jiuyue lifted the curtain of the carriage and took a look.
"Hey, didn't Lai Fu say that the town was very crowded today? Why don't we see so many people?"
Although there were a lot more people at the city gate than usual, it was still far from the point where even carriages couldn't pass through as Lai Fu said.
"Xiyue, let's go into the city."
Xiyue whipped the horse's butt, and the carriage moved forward a few steps, then slowly slowed down.
After entering the city, Lin Jiuyue and Xiyue parked the carriage in the backyard of their own grain shop.
"Miss, Lai Fu Lai Cai said that the murderer has been caught. Could he have been taken to the government office by now?"
Hearing this, Lin Jiuyue frowned, then spoke thoughtfully.
"Well, that's possible. Let's go to the government office and take a look."
After Lin Jiuyue finished speaking, she took the lead and walked ahead.
Xiyue followed behind Lin Jiuyue. As she walked, she listened carefully to the conversations of the people around her, hoping to gather information about the Xiangyang Village murder case from their conversations.
"I heard that the county magistrate is about to try the murder case in Xiangyang Village. Come on, let's go and take a look."
"It's so tragic. A family of four, not a single one was left alive. I don't know what deep hatred they had. Tsk tsk."
"Oh, by the way, I also heard that the murderer was the son of the Xiangyang Village chief. He's so bold! He relied on his father being the village chief to kill four people at once. He's absolutely insane!"
"That's right. I heard before that the village chief of Xiangyang Village was a nice person. Now it seems that it was probably just a rumor."
"If the head of Xiangyang Village is really like what those people say, his son wouldn't be so bold as to kill so many people. He must have his father's backing to kill so many people! Now that something so serious has happened, he definitely can't cover it up."
On the way to the yamen, Lin Jiuyue heard all kinds of good and bad things about him.
Picking up a little bit here and there, I finally figured out the matter.
When we arrived at the yamen, the county magistrate was preparing to go to court to hear the case.
A lot of people gathered at the gate of the county government office to watch the excitement. Lin Jiuyue and Xiyue arrived a little late and stood at the back of the crowd.
I couldn't see clearly what was happening in front of me, let alone what was happening in the lobby.
Seeing so many people gathered, Xiyue thought that her young lady was very interested in this matter, so she stood behind the crowd and started shouting.
"Please make way, please make way, please everyone make way."
Xiyue used both hands to push away the crowd so that Lin Jiuyue could walk to the front and take a look.
Lin Jiuyue watched Xiyue struggling to push forward with her, and she really wanted to speak up. She wanted to tell Xiyue that it was not necessary. But in the end, she didn't say anything.
Things about the space cannot be told to outsiders, even if this person is her personal maid, Lin Jiuyue does not intend to tell.
"Miss, please follow me and I will lead the way for you!"
When Lin Jiuyue heard this, she burst out laughing.
"good."
Thanks to Xiyue's efforts, Lin Jiuyue finally came to the front.
The spot was found, but Xiyue's hairstyle was messed up by the crowd of onlookers.
Lin Jiuyue, on the other hand, had a complete hairstyle and didn't look like she had just squeezed out of the crowd. Of course, this was also thanks to Xiyue's hard work.
When he came to the front, Lin Jiuyue could easily see the scene inside the lobby.
There was a neatly dressed man kneeling on the ground with shackles on. Since his back was facing outside, Lin Jiuyue could not see his face.
The yamen runners on both sides of the hall were already standing in neat rows, but the county magistrate had not yet arrived.
"Miss, the county magistrate hasn't arrived yet. Please wait a moment."
"Don't worry, let's wait."
As the New Year approaches, Uncle Li and his friends are taking care of the household affairs, and the shop is closed, so Lin Jiuyue has plenty of time.
As soon as he finished speaking, the county magistrate walked out in an official manner.
He lifted his clothes and sat on the upper seat, then slammed the gavel on the desk.
"Open the court!"
"Mighty~"
The court hearing scene that is common in TV dramas suddenly appeared in front of Lin Jiuyue.
Lin Jiuyue made two "tsk tsk" sounds.
I had only seen this kind of scene in TV dramas before. Who would have thought that I, a soul from the 21st century, would be able to see this kind of scene with my own eyes.
"Who is this person? Where are you from?"
The county magistrate spoke with great dignity.
"I am Liuhe, a native of Xiangyang Village..."
Xiyue also stood aside to watch the fun. From time to time, she would look at Lin Jiuyue. Seeing that Lin Jiuyue was not squeezed by others, she turned her eyes to the lobby again.
"Miss, why didn't Village Chief Liu come?"
Lin Jiuyue shook her head.
"I don't know, maybe it hasn't arrived yet?"
In fact, it is understandable that Village Chief Liu did not come.
After all, the person kneeling in the hall now is his son, and the crime Liu He committed is not a small one.
Four people were killed at once. No matter whether it was the surrounding villagers or the people watching here, if they knew that the murderer's family was at the scene, they probably would not be friendly to Village Chief Liu and his wife.
In more serious cases, they might even throw rotten vegetable leaves and rotten eggs. Physical violence is also common. It's better not to come; you can avoid these things by not coming.
The two men were talking outside while listening to the county magistrate trying the case.
"Did you kill Liu He, Lin Dongming, Liu Xiaohua, Lin Jinshan, Lin Jinlian and the other four members of the Lin family?"
When Lin Jiuyue heard this, she was completely stunned.
No way? I just guessed it right? The person who was killed was really a member of the Lin family?
"Xiyue, did I hear wrongly? The county magistrate just said that it was Lin Dongming's family who were killed?"
Xiyue responded.
"Miss, you heard it right. I heard it too. It is indeed the Lin family."
