Chapter 24 Worth a Book

Then, Jia Yuntong shook out many things he had done in a trembling voice. The woman he killed was not only He Xin, but also related to some brothels. I heard that many people gritted their teeth, especially the few fathers with daughters, whose eyes were even more like fire.

Jia Yuntong's confession was so scared from the many people he brought on the ship, and he quickly shook a lot of things, and he was scrambling to be tainted witnesses.

Some women even shed tears and were glad that they were saved. They didn't dare to say anything before, but now they are crying in the outer hall area.

But after Jia Yuntong and his people finished their explanation, especially as Jia Yuntong revealed some horrifying news, some people in the court couldn't help looking at each other, and the master looked at County Magistrate Lin frequently, and even Yi Shuyuan's face was serious.

County Magistrate Lin’s expression was no longer angry, but a complexity, a deep sense of difficulty in riding a tiger, and he also felt that Jia Yuntong deserved to die!

In and outside the court at night, it became quiet briefly, and everyone was watching County Magistrate Lin.

Lin Xiu sighed and looked out of the yamen. He could not see where He Xin was, so he looked at Yi Shuyuan, who was nodding slightly.

"Let him sign and seal it!"

After taking a deep breath, the county magistrate said this.

The crime was written by the master beside Yi Shuyuan. Jia Yuntong looked up at County Magistrate Lin, then knelt on the ground to sign. He was unable to hold the pen normally under severe pain in his ten fingers. He could only hold the pen in his palm and then pressed the ink with trembling.

The yamen runner handed over the crime to the public case.

"Sir, that evil merchant Yuntong has already made a secret!"

County Magistrate Lin glanced at the crime and raised the gavel again.

"Ba~"

Everyone's hearts were thunderous, and they knew that the verdict was about to be pronounced.

"The evil merchant Yuntong, forcibly robbed the women of the people, raped and robbed the officials, colluded with officials, took away the lives of others, and had many crimes, and the evidence was as strong as a mountain! According to my Dayong Law, he seized the money and goods of his ships and sentenced Jia Yuntong..."

County Magistrate Lin paused slightly, his eyes narrowed, and he looked at Jia Yuntong and said word by word.

"Wait, behead, and then punish! From now on, the prison dungeon will be collected, reported to the Ministry of Justice, and sent for review by Dali Temple!"

"ah!"

Jia Yuntong collapsed on the ground with a blood-colored face, but he was still somewhat grateful. He looked out the door and the terrifying ghost of the woman seemed to be unable to see it, but he still felt cold all over.

"Master Qingtian!" "Master Qingtian!"

Among the people brought from the boat together, many women and even men bowed to the court in the outer hall, and even Yi Shuyuan looked at County Magistrate Lin with respect.

Next were some accomplices and interrogations of the gangsters, and they all had their own judgments, so naturally many people were given freedom.

After a night trial, the people in Yuanjiang County felt exhausted.

Jia Yuntong and others had been taken to the dungeon, and the others were also cleared out one by one. At this moment, the master finally couldn't help but speak.

"Mr. County Master, that Jia Yuntong's case..."

County Magistrate Lin sighed when he heard this, but suddenly laughed. He didn't actually have much ambition before becoming an official. He didn't talk to everyone like many scholars, and he didn't even want to climb high in the officialdom. He could only make no big mistakes while gaining wealth throughout his life.

As a county magistrate, Lin Xiu has been transferred to many places over the years and has done some duty. Of course, he has also obtained a lot of money. However, after becoming so many officials, this is the first time he has been called "Master Qingtian". He looked up at the plaque in the court high behind him.

The mirror is hanging high!

"Forget it, who asked me to meet me! Get out of here..."

After saying that, the county magistrate stood up, loosened the collar of the government, took off the black veil above his head and placed it on the court.

At this moment, in Yi Shuyuan's eyes, it seemed as bright as County Magistrate Lin's body.

"Mr. Yi, then He Xinke is still there?"

Yi Shuyuan stood up and bowed to answer.

"Mr. Huixian Zun, Miss He Xin has been standing outside the door."

County Magistrate Lin walked out of the case and walked out of the court. Yi Shuyuan immediately followed. The master hesitated for a moment and followed, but because of fear, he was still behind a few positions.

The yamen runners and others beside each other looked at each other. Although the adults said they would withdraw, no one left immediately.

Three people led by County Magistrate Lin arrived at the head of the county government office.

"Sir, Miss He Xin is three feet away."

Yi Shuyuan said as he looked at the woman in white, then was slightly stunned. At some point, an official in black robe appeared on the street. It might be that he had been blocking his sight inside by the door wall before. The official in charge was obviously not from the county government office, and he stood there straight without any movement. The word "you" was written on the high hat above his head.

When he saw Yi Shuyuan, the official officer seemed to be stunned for a moment and disappeared the next moment.

Yi Shuyuan's heart was thrilled! Isn't it human?

No one noticed all this, even He Xin.

At this moment, He Xin was looking at the county magistrate and Yi Shuyuan with gratitude. She knelt down outside the door, kowtowed to Yi Shuyuan, and then to the county magistrate.

"Thank you sir, thank you sir!"

As if cause and effect were entangled with qi and movement, at this moment, County Magistrate Lin also faintly saw a little blurry white shadow, as if a woman was kowtowing in front of the door, and a faint crying sound came.

"Thank you, sir, thank you! Thank you, sir, thank you..."

--------------------------------

It was getting late at night, and the people who had just tried the case had already dispersed, and Yi Shuyuan had also returned to the library. He was about to pack up his things and go to bed.

But at this moment, Yi Shuyuan was not calm inside. He thought about the woman in white who floated away in the end, thought about County Magistrate Lin, and thought about whether Jia Yuntong could truly serve his sentence, and at the same time he also thought about the black-clad official whom he saw before.

Could it be that the messenger and others? Did he come here later, or did he come with Du Fang and He Xin from the beginning?

He said he wanted to pack up his things and go to bed, but Yi Shuyuan subconsciously sat down when he came to Shu's desk. He took the pen and unfolded a new piece of rice paper.

The pen falls on rice paper, sprinkling natural handwriting...

What a good story worth a book. It has a good start and hopes to have a good ending!

--------------------------------

The next day, the matter of the county government avenged the ghost last night spread like wildfire, and many people were describing it vividly.

At the counter of Tongxin Building, a yamen run over hurriedly and put down a wine pot on the counter.

"Shopkeeper, hold half a pound of wine."

The county yamen restaurant is just a simple place for everyone to eat, and basically does not provide alcohol. However, there are usually no one who takes them out after drinking outside. After all, the rules are that dead people live.

The hall on the first floor of Tongxin Building was originally very lively, but it suddenly became quiet. Someone pointed at the counter. The yamen runner was also a little puzzled, but before he could say anything, the shopkeeper behind the counter grabbed the wine pot and asked.

"Brother You San, I heard that the county government was promoted to the hall in the middle of the night yesterday, and it was a ghost who beat the drum and complained about the wrongdoing. Is this a matter?"

Someone immediately added to the side.

"Yes, I heard the drum beat at home last night!" "I also said that the update was on, and the lights in the yamen are on trial!"

"Yes, I heard that I went out of the city to catch prisoners in the middle of the night!"

The yamen runner looked around and smiled.

"Oh, the news is so good, do you know?"

When everyone heard the yamen runners say this, they understand that this matter is likely to be true.

"Oh, it's all spreading. I only know one thing but not the other. Will Brother You San say it conveniently?"

On a table over there, someone echoed loudly.

"Brother You San, don't go to the kitchen hall to eat. Come to my place, the dishes are just coming, add a pair of bowls and chopsticks, and I have ordered wine. Let's talk about what happened last night?"

"Yes, just eat here!"

Others also started to make excuses.

The yamen runner smiled and walked towards the table and said with a smile.

"How can you be so embarrassed..."

"Oh, Brother You San is a happy person. What's wrong with treating you to a meal? Can you still sue me for a bribe? Oh, Brother You, was the incident last night true?"

Na You San picked up the wine glass and took a sip, then let out a breath.

"Don't talk about you, it's me. I'm a little dazed now. When the drums sounded last night, I really didn't expect that it was a ghost who came to seek justice!"

"Is it really a ghost?"

You San nodded.

"Well, but it's not a ghost who beats the drum, but a young man from this county. He was entrusted by the ghost to beat the drum and make trouble. However, what a place is the county government hall, the ghost cannot enter, so that at first the county master did not believe that boy, thinking that he teased everyone and beat him more than a dozen big shots..."

"How do you believe this after the county magistrate?" "Yes, third brother, don't keep it aside!"

The yamen runners were not in a hurry to eat, so they sat down on the table and drank the wine in their glasses in one go.

"Although that kid was originally a good-hearted man, he was afraid he would be beaten in vain. Even though the county master was the master of Qingtian, he thought he had a lot of nonsense, but the wonder was that there was a strange man in our county government. That gentleman could see the gods every day and see the ghosts at night!"

"Hiss..." "There is such an expert in the county government?" "Who is it?"

The yamen runner looked at the curious eyes of the people around him and whispered.

"Mr. Yi, who compiled the county annals! When Mr. Yi came, the chief clerk accompanied him all the way and followed him to introduce him to the inside and outside the county yamen. At that time, I wondered what kind of ability this person could make the chief clerk do this..."

"Well, I'm going to go far. Mr. Yi happened to be there last night. He saw the ghost being wronged and pitiful, so he helped her, so that he could speak in court and complain about his grievances..."

"Oh..." "It's actually like this..."
