When it was dawn, Magistrate Sun received a strange case. Xiao Dezhu, a famous local businessman, was inexplicably aging and sued the groom Niu Dazhuang, brothel woman Sang Er and a fool to the county government on the grounds that the three of them jointly conspired to murder their son.

As soon as Niu Dazhuang and Sang'er arrived in the hall, they cried and cried for justice, saying that they had suffered unrestrained disasters. Li Fei was still immersed in his own world without saying anything. To outsiders, he was just a standing human-shaped wooden stake.

"Sujing, stop arguing!"

Magistrate Sun heard the big head and shouted sternly, so the two of them immediately stopped their tears and knelt on the ground and did not dare to say anything.

He was sleeping soundly, but reluctantly crawled out of the bed. After being quarreled by the two, he woke up completely. His eyes instantly became sharp and his mood was very bad.

Because what he annoyed the most was that someone shouted for justice in the hall. If he wanted to say that no one was more wronged than himself, he listened to those people complaining every day and forced him, a cultured person with lofty ambitions, into a stern-hearted official.

Immediately, Magistrate Sun looked at the plaintiff Xiao Dezhu and asked, "You said that these three people have collaborated to murder your son Xiao Yulang, so where is your son's body?"

Xiao Dezhu smiled bitterly and said, "Sir, my son is not dead."

"If he is not dead, how is his injury?"

“My son was not injured either.”

"Okay, Xiao Dezhu, are you playing text games with me? Since your son is not dead or injured, why do you say so confidently that the three of them murdered your son?"

"That's not the kind of murder in the usual sense, but another kind of murder." Xiao Dezhu organized the language and said vaguely.

Magistrate Sun was even more confused when he heard this, and slapped the table and said, "You tell me what's going on?"

Xiao Dezhu took a deep breath and said loudly: "Sir, my son became an 80-year-old man overnight, several decades older than me. This is what the three of them were hurt."

"What did you say?"

"I said my son was so hurt by the three of them that he turned into an eighty-year-old man."

Bang!

Magistrate Sun slapped the agglomeration and said in a deep voice: "It's ridiculous. I came here to tease me in the early morning. If you come, I'll slap him thirty first."

"yes!"

The yamen on both sides of the hall heard the order and shouted loudly. A few people were sent out and they were going to slap Xiao Dezhu.

Xiao Dezhu quickly shouted: "Sir, every word I say is true. If you don't believe it, you can ask my son to testify on the spot. If there is a half false statement, I will apologize for death!"

Magistrate Sun said coldly: "Okay, this is what you said yourself. Let your son come to court."

"Sir Xie." Xiao Dezhu bowed to Magistrate Sun, then shouted twice outside, and asked someone to bring his son in to speak.

Soon, with the help of two servants, Xiao Yulang, who was 80 years old, came to the hall. Magistrate Sun carefully glanced at his appearance and asked.

"You are Xiao Yulang?"

“It’s right down.”

"How old are you this year?"

"Twenty-four years old."

Xiao Yulang's voice sounded a little hoarse, but his thoughts were still very clear. When facing the questions from Magistrate Sun, he could answer them smoothly.

Magistrate Sun, who could understand, continued to ask: "How did you become what you are now?"

"I'm not sure about it, but one of the three of them must have used the magic trick." Xiao Yulang said, "The lower legs are a little out of control, and I can't stand anymore. Can you move a chair for me?"

Magistrate Sun nodded and said, "Come here, bring a chair for this Xiao... Master Xiao."

Soon, the Yamashi brought a chair to Xiao Yulang from the back yamen. He sat down tremblingly without saying anything.

According to the Ming Dynasty law, using demonic laws to harm people is a major case and should be executed according to the law.

Magistrate Sun dared not make a conclusion at will in such a major case, so he said, "Since you have to say that they used magic to harm you, is there any evidence?"

Xiao Yulang shook his head and said, "No, but the only three of them are in conflict with me. Who are they who are not them?"

Niu Dazhuang immediately shouted and said, "Sir, you can't believe Mr. Xiao's words. The villain just sent Miss Sang'er to the mansion to meet Mr. Xiao, and never participated in the rest of the matter. He also had no grudges or grudges with Mr. Xiao. Why did the villain use magic to harm him? What's more, the villain has never read books since he was a child and doesn't know a big word, so how could he have any magic? "

County Magistrate Sun said: "I didn't ask you, you can't interrupt."

"yes."

Magistrate Sun continued to look at Xiao Yulang and asked, "How did you have a conflict with them?"

Xiao Yulang then drank with his friend at night, and then Sang'er came to accompany him, and finally pointed out: "That man didn't say anything, it was very strange. I just wanted to test him, but who knew that he had suffered such a disaster. My sir, I feel really uncomfortable."

County Magistrate Sun said: "I naturally know that you feel bad. If you can't produce evidence, you can't say that someone was harming you with a demon. You have to pay proof in everything. You can't judge others as soon as you say it. Wouldn't this official become a confused official?"

"This... If the Lord said this, then there is nothing to say. Let me die of old age, woo..."

As he was talking, Xiao Yulang couldn't help but feel sad and started crying in the classroom.

Magistrate Sun was upset when he heard this. At this time, Xiao Dezhu bowed and said, "Sir, many patients have appeared in many nearby villages recently. Some experts say that there are evil people outside Danyang City. People who are sick are infected with evil spirits. The origin of that fool is unknown, maybe he is evil spirit."

When Magistrate Sun heard this, he looked at Li Fei standing in the hall and couldn't help but shake his head. This person had never spoken now, and it looked strange.

But Sang'er said, "Sir, the little girl has something to say."

"What do you want to say, just say it."

Sang'er whispered: "Last night, Niu Dazhuang almost hit this person when he drove a carriage. The little woman got out of the carriage and argued with him. This person had never spoken and did not hurt the little woman. In addition, this person was very docile and was not annoyed when others beat him. He pulled him away and followed him. Mr. Xiao said it was a temptation, but in fact he ordered two servants to use wooden sticks to hit the person's body. I see Mr. Xiao's appearance must have done too much inequality, so God gave punishment."

Xiao Dezhu said dissatisfiedly: "Nonsense, you woman is obviously slandering people. Although my son doesn't have any talent, he is also self-disciplined and self-cultivated. He studies hard every day. When did those unethical things do?"

Sang'er said coldly: "If you don't know, unless you don't do it yourself, he is studying hard every day, but he is also narrow-minded. Everyone in Danyang City knows that he once sent someone to beat a scholar named Feng. Because the other party's outstanding piano skills, he felt jealous... "

"No... cough cough cough... it was him... Feng Sheng stole my money bag... I... cough cough..."

When Xiao Yulang heard this, he became anxious and stood up tremblingly, telling him that he was wronged, but because he was too excited, he fell to the ground and broke his head.

Xiao Dezhu was eager to protect his son, so he ran over to check Xiao Yulang's situation, and looked up and cursed, "You are shameless woman. You are a prostitute in a brothel. You are insulting my son. It's really hateful."

Sang'er was not a good lamp either. She snorted, looked at Xiao Dezhu, and said slowly: "You are not a good guy. You have done more than 90% of the bad things in the world. Isn't bullying goodness your best bet!"

"Slut, stop talking!"

"You asked me to stop, but I can't stop. Don't think I don't know about your family's ugly things. Your original wife is very short and ugly. She can't carry her family with money. You married her. After your hairline, you kicked your original wife away and let her live in a small yard. She died of illness within two years. Do you think you are a beast in a dress?"

"Bitch, I'll kill you!"

Xiao Dezhu hasn't heard anyone mention his original wife for many years, because since he was rich, others have spoken flattering words to him, which made him very angry.

In anger, he immediately punched him. Niu Dazhuang couldn't bear to see the beauty being beaten, so he stood up to block Xiao Dezhu and took the fist that the other party hit.

Although Niu Dazhuang is tall and strong, he is afraid and dare not take action. He just hides and protects Sang'er behind him.

"It was a fight in court, and it was really not taking the laws of the court seriously. It was extremely ridiculous. They were all arrested and imprisoned and retired."

Magistrate Sun was really resentful. Today, this incident made him feel haggard. He could tolerate Xiao Dezhu's nonsense, so he immediately asked the yamen to lock up all the people before talking.

It was the twelfth lunar month, and the weather was extremely cold, so it was naturally even colder in the prison. There were not many people involved in it at this time.

The prison guard was afraid that the two sides would have another conflict, so he locked Xiao Dezhu in a single room and locked Niu Dazhuang, Sang'er and Li Fei together.

Niu Dazhuang felt that he was extremely unlucky and was caught for a while. It was so unfair.

Sang'er had never suffered this pain, and she shrank in the corner and shivered with coldness, but her mind was firm, but she did not cry anymore. She just looked at Li Fei's stupid look and was secretly angry.

"Miss Sang'er, you're going to be upset about this matter. I'll just listen to you last night, and I won't be caught in prison, wuwu..."

Sang'er said angrily: "Don't cry, have you not cried enough in the lobby?"

"I feel uncomfortable."

"I'll stop talking about this girl. I blame Xiao Yulang for doing so many evil things. He has suffered retribution and will also implicate us."

Niu Dazhuang looked at Li Fei and said, "Does this matter have nothing to do with him?"

Sang'er said calmly: "Do you hope this matter has something to do with him, right? If the Xiao family father and son bite him to death, we will send him to harm others. If this is the case, we will not be able to wash it even if we jump into the Yellow River."

Niu Dazhuang said again: "It seems that this is true. Why did Lord Sun lock us up? We are obviously wronged."

"Just be content. Lord Sun is a good official. If he changes to another magistrate and collects money, he will be punished by death. Then he will have no way to heaven and no way to the earth."

Sang'er rubbed her hands while talking, trying to give herself some calories.

Niu Dazhuang stopped talking, just kept crying, tears were cold on his face, and he felt that his future was worrying and he was likely to die in prison.
