Liu Feng was right.
It was Wang Changsheng who betrayed him.
Liu Feng couldn't understand how Wang Changsheng knew that the military horses were hiding in the backyard.
But in his heart, Wang Changsheng was already dead.
"The physical evidence is in hand. The prisoner, Liu Feng, is guilty of possessing a military horse. Sentence is..."
"Sir, wait a moment..."
Wang Changsheng interrupted immediately.
"Anything else?"
The county magistrate frowned slightly. "Didn't you give me money to kill Liu Feng as soon as possible? Why did you fail at the crucial moment?"
Isn’t it enough for me to just make a judgment and sign the document?
"Sir, Liu Feng is an extraordinary martial artist."
"I know, to be able to capture the Northern Barbarian spies, he must have some skills."
"Does this have anything to do with this case?"
The county magistrate looked confused.
"Sir, I heard that the pawn shop was robbed, and the person who led it was a martial arts expert."
"Not only did they kill many people, but they also stole a lot of money,"
"Think about it, sir. Liu Feng was just a drunkard and gambler who could barely make ends meet. How could he have become so rich in such a short time?"
“Now they are not only building brick kilns, but also renovating houses and spending lavishly.”
"I just feel that something is fishy. I hope you can investigate the details."
The county magistrate immediately understood and his eyes lit up.
I thought he was a poor boy, but I didn't expect him to be so rich.
Or he suddenly became rich, but the source of the money was unknown.
Isn't that perfect?
It just fits.
The pawnshop case gave him a headache. There was no clue so far, and he was worried about how to make up for the shortfall of several thousand taels of silver. If he could torture this guy into confessing, not only would the case be solved, but his property could also be confiscated. Wouldn't that be killing two birds with one stone?
Thinking of this, the county magistrate felt that he was too smart.
Liu Feng finally understood.
Wang Changsheng framed him just to put him to death.
Wow, you really think far ahead.
Liu Feng was no longer calm.
Although he was the one who did it, no one knew about it.
Now that this is the case, the county magistrate will definitely pay attention to me.
If this is true, then all the money in his house is stolen.
It is no longer a problem that can be solved by spending money.
Because if you really do this, the money will be in the county magistrate's pocket.
The county magistrate smiled faintly and banged the gavel loudly.
"Mu Shaoliang."
"You're the one who captured the prisoner. Is what Wang Changsheng said true? Is he really repairing a house and making bricks?"
Mu Shaoliang's heart skipped a beat and he trembled slightly, giving Liu Feng a helpless look.
"Your Excellency. What Wang Changsheng said is true."
"But as far as I know..."
"Shut up……."
"When I ask you questions, just answer truthfully. Why are you talking so much?"
"Do you have a say here?"
"Since this is the case, the criminal Liu Feng has committed an even greater crime."
"According to Dali law, the criminal Liu Feng is sentenced to death. He will be executed at Caishikou at 3:15 PM tomorrow."
“Wait…”
At this moment, a sound like a loud bell was heard, followed by the appearance of a tall and majestic figure. He stood in the hall, his eyes meeting the gaze of the county magistrate.
"Prison Warden Chen?"
"What are you doing here? The prisoner will be sent to you in a moment."
"Sir, I advise you that if you kill this man, you will die too."
"Warden Chen, although it is your duty to apprehend criminals, it is not your turn to interrupt me in this hall while I am investigating a case."
The county magistrate blew his beard and glared, but considering the prison warden Chen's background, he suppressed his anger and said, "Tell me, why can't he be killed?"
Warden Chen took out a yellow brocade bag and placed it on the county magistrate's desk.
"You see clearly."
The county magistrate took a quick look and thought it was just an insignificant little object, but after seeing it clearly, his expression suddenly changed from disdain at first to nervousness.
"Jinsi Yunxiu, this is..."
"That's right. The finest Yunxiu is infused with gold thread. This is a unique symbol of the royal family of the Dali Dynasty."
"This kind of cloud silk is extremely precious and only members of the royal family can use it."
Chen Dianyu had seen it on the general's body before. It was an imperial edict.
Hearing the explanation from Chen Dianyu, the county magistrate felt like he was struck by lightning.
"Sir, you have to think clearly. The first thing his head does is fall to the ground, and the next thing he does is fall to the ground."
The county magistrate was shocked and looked at Liu Feng in disbelief. He didn't understand why an ordinary villager in Siwa Village would have such a thing?
Is he related to some royal noble?
The county magistrate had some doubts in his mind.
He tried his best to remain calm, touching the golden silk cloud in his hand, wanting to see clearly what was inside.
However, Warden Chen quickly grabbed the brocade bag with his hands, preventing the county magistrate from opening it.
"Master, how could you be so confused? If you read the things in here, your entire clan will be in danger."
"What?"
The county magistrate was so frightened that his hands were shaking, his eyes were full of panic, and his fingers were trembling slightly.
Such a big background?
Although Wang Changsheng in the hall was puzzled, he could tell something was wrong from the fearful look in the county magistrate's eyes.
At this time he was scared and knelt down quickly, with beads of sweat on his forehead, not daring to say a word.
The old man said that the secret bag was obtained by chance?
Isn't he just a fortune teller?
Could it be that he has also told fortunes for the royal family?
Liu Feng's face was full of black lines at this time, he didn't understand what was going on, and turned to look at the Mu sisters who looked worried.
