"Um...Mo Shan...Mr. Mo, please don't...ah..."
Even though he was a martial artist, he clearly felt the pain when such a powerful yamen runner hit him with a stick.
After ten rounds of fighting, Mo Shanrui finally showed mercy and shouted "Stop!"
This time, Sun Jin didn't dare to say anything.
Because he knew that Mo Shanrui was serious about him.
This time he came here alone.
I wanted to find someone to go to my wife to inform her, but it didn't work.
Thinking of this, he unconsciously looked towards the entrance of the court.
Apart from the villagers, where are the people around the lady?
This trip to Quanyong County was not an honorable one. Madam and Master said they just wanted to relax and did not bring many people with them.
I didn't expect to encounter such a thing.
"Sun Jin, let me ask you, is this badge yours?"
While Sun Jin was daydreaming, Mo Shanrui's voice came again from the hall.
He quickly retracted his thoughts and said, "It's me, but what does this badge prove?"
When Sun Jin said this, his voice was very cold.
Those ten blows were very painful.
But compared to the injuries they usually received during martial arts training, this was nothing.
Hearing Mo Shanrui's words at this time, Sun Jin knew that this waist badge could not be denied.
After all, this is an item that proves one's identity and cannot be denied.
"Very good. Then I want to ask you, how come you didn't know that such an important thing was lost?"
"Your Excellency the County Magistrate is wrong. Although this is my Sun Jin's badge, badges are always hung around the waist. If I lost it without noticing it, wouldn't it be against the law?"
When saying this, Sun Jin looked as if it was a matter of course.
"Sun Jin, I urge you to confess the truth!"
"Recruit? Recruit what? Sun Jin doesn't understand what you mean by this, sir?" Sun Jin pretended to be stupid.
These words not only angered Zhang Yi who was standing beside him.
Even Mo Shanrui was so angry that he gnashed his teeth.
Mo Shanrui, who originally had no intention of letting him go, had already sworn in his heart that he would execute this man to serve as a warning to others.
"Sun Jin, I want to ask you, where were you the other day?"
"Your Excellency's question is really funny. Where else can I go if I'm not in my own house?"
"Is there anyone who can testify?"
"Of course there is, sir, can't you ask someone in our house?" Sun Jin said very calmly.
He now wished that Mo Shanrui would order people to go to the house to find witnesses as soon as possible, so that his wife would know what happened here.
Otherwise, he really didn't know how much suffering he would have to endure.
"Except for the people in your house, is there anyone else who can prove it?"
"I am a guard, and I protect the lady in the house every day. I have never passed through the gate. It's always like this. Do you think anyone else knows this?"
"Oh? Since you don't even know the door, how could your badge be picked up by someone?" Mo Shanrui said calmly.
After saying this, Mo Shanrui looked at Sun Jin coldly again, and then continued:
"I urge you to tell the truth, or do you want to tell me that this badge has walked out of the door on its own?"
Sun Jin choked, and for a moment, he really didn't know how to answer.
While he was thinking, Mo Shanrui's gavel rang again.
"Although you were dressed in black that day, Zhang Yi could clearly see that it was you. If I'm not mistaken, this badge should have been dropped by you during the fight, right?"
Although this was a question, Mo Shanrui's tone was very affirmative.
At this time, Zhang Yi also stood up and said to Sun Jin confidently:
"Don't even think about making excuses. That person is obviously you!"
"What do you say? I said you stole my badge to slander me." Sun Jin sneered at Zhang Yi.
"There is no hatred between you and me, why would I slander you?"
"Then I have to ask you!" Sun Jin said sarcastically.
Originally he thought that after he said this, Zhang would be angry.
Unexpectedly, his response is exactly what he imagined.
He walked quietly to the center of the court and said respectfully to Mo Shanrui:
"Sir, I have another way to prove that he was the one who assassinated our young master that day."
"Oh? That's great, tell me about it!" Mo Shanrui said quickly.
"Hahaha......"
Unexpectedly, just after he finished speaking, he heard Sun Jin's wild laughter.
Mo Shanrui did not say anything, because he knew that Sun Jin would certainly make excuses again.
He was waiting, waiting for him to finish his excuses.
really......
"If you say that I, Sun Jin, am the murderer just by talking, then isn't your judgment too arbitrary? If so, how many unjust cases will there be in Quanyong County?"
"I, Sun Jin, would like to ask you, sir, does the prefect know that you have judged the case this way? Of course, if the county magistrate really judged the case this way, then I really want to tell my wife so that she can tell the truth to the prefect."
These words were a naked threat, and Mo Shanrui was not stupid, so he naturally listened to them.
But from the moment he turned around and entered the court again, he never thought of letting Sun Jin go.
Not to mention that he really intended to kill someone, he couldn't stand his arrogant behavior.
The most important thing is that I have completely offended him today.
If we don't deal with him properly, there will be endless troubles in the future.
How could he, who has been in the officialdom for many years, not understand these relationships?
The reason why he attacked Sun Jin so blatantly today was because he was sure that when Pingyuan Hou came, he would stand on his side.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have done it so ostentatiously.
"I'm afraid you don't have this opportunity." Mo Shanrui said with narrowed eyes.
He usually hates being threatened.
It would be fine if the person in front of him was a little more powerful, but how could a mere guard dare to show off in front of him?
Whose power does he rely on? It's none other than Sun Ruosi.
Hearing Mo Shanrui's words, Sun Jin panicked and asked quickly, "You...what do you mean?"
"The meaning is very clear. The emperor has committed a crime similar to that of a commoner. If the evidence is irrefutable, I will not let him off lightly."
After that, Mo Shanrui looked at Zhang Yi and said:
"You just said you had evidence. Where is the evidence? Don't worry. I am here. I will handle it impartially."
This was not only a guarantee to Zhang Yi, but also a way for Zhang Yi to tell Jian Xiu that he would definitely do justice for her.
He was in charge of all the things that happened in the county.
