Chapter 18 The blood in front of the tofu workshop
Thoughts only flicker for a moment.
Liu Tang was brought to justice, and Sun Li, the accomplice, had also been sentenced. The trial of the case was finally coming to an end. Su Rao glanced at someone paralyzed at the side from the corner of his eye, and casually said: "Sir, the real murderer of the murder case has been arrested, so he should be tried.
Another case."
"What?"
Gu Cheng looked at her doubtfully.
"Fake a murderer and force someone to commit the crime..."
"What the girl said is that we should investigate carefully."
Gu Cheng suddenly realized, and followed her gaze to look at Magistrate Liu who was lying beside him, wondering whether he was alive or dead. "But Mr. Liu has fainted, and there is no way to continue the trial of this case..."
"As long as a person is not dead, there will always be a time when he wakes up."
Su Rao nodded and accepted the words, and said very cooperatively: "If you feel bored, you can have a cup of tea and wait slowly."
They could drink tea and chat, and the time flew by in a blink of an eye.
Lying on the damp and rough floor tiles may not be so comfortable...
"No, no need to wait..."
County Magistrate Liu moved his hands and feet in time, opened his eyes, and stood up with difficulty holding his head. He felt that the world was spinning in front of his eyes. This time he was not pretending. Liu Tang's punches hit the flesh. How could his old bones bear it?
live?
He originally thought he could avoid being held accountable, but he didn't expect that both of them were evil-hearted and actually wanted to get involved with him. He had no choice but to 'wake up'.
"Sir, this official also loves his son very much, so he was temporarily obsessed with it and committed this stupid incident. Please forgive me, sir."
"You are not confused."
Gu Cheng snorted coldly, "The sky is high and the emperor is far away, and I can't control your Huanhua County. That's why you dare to use your power to suppress others and fabricate false cases?"
"Sir, be careful what you say!"
County Magistrate Liu's face became solemn, "Xiaguan at most committed the crime of negligence, how could he fabricate a false case? From the beginning to the end, Xiaguan never came forward to find Sun Li to blame, nor did he instruct anyone else to do it. As for the scratches, those who were at the scene at the time
There are so many people, why do you think it was my official who revealed the news?"
"It seems that Mr. Liu has already thought of the words to deal with me. This is a bit troublesome."
Gu Cheng looked at Su Rao, intent on asking. Su Rao closed his eyes and thought for a while, then asked Sun Li: "Is what he said true?"
"yes!"
Sun Li answered decisively.
"In this case, according to the law, the most it can be is a fine..."
Surao's tone was neither urgent nor slow, as if she was mumbling to herself, but the volume was loud enough for everyone to hear clearly. Magistrate Liu looked slightly happy.
Fortunately, this thing didn't bite randomly. If it bit him, he would always have something to say to tell the difference.
He didn't know about this case at all, but he only found out about it when he was half-way through the investigation. He only found out about it when a sudden visitor came to the house. He just sent a message back to the house saying "scratches as evidence". The boy who sent the message was a slave of their family, and he would never dare to sell it to the owner.
.
It is better for him to pay his own salary than to lose his official position.
"Even if the county magistrate did not ask Sun Li to make a false accusation, then it is still true that he covered up Liu Tang to rape and kill my sister and broke my leg. I beg the imperial envoy to find out clearly!"
Surao was waiting to see how Sun Li would deal with it, but when the person she wanted to wait for didn't arrive, Zhao Ping rushed out first, knelt in the middle of the hall, and kowtowed to the hall.
"Please, sir, be aware of this!"
Isn't it because Liu Tang dared to brutally kill civilian girls because he had a father who was a county magistrate? County Magistrate Liu abused his power for personal gain and protected the murderers. This was the root cause.
However, the most critical reason for Zhao Ping to risk his life is that he has offended the Liu family by standing here today. If he cannot uproot them and wait for the imperial envoy to leave, Magistrate Liu will take revenge with his character, and his life will end!
Su Rao could probably guess what he was thinking. Seeing this, he shook his head silently. He was still too impatient.
Sun Li was able to set up a situation for him to come forward, so he naturally knew that this case and Zhao Lian'er's life would have limited impact on Liu Zhang, so he must have other preparations.
Now that he doesn't have Sun Li's 'help', it's almost impossible to overthrow Liu Zhang!
Sure enough, as soon as this thought passed through Surao's mind, she heard County Magistrate Liu say: "What is rape and murder? Your sister is out in public all day long, seducing men, how can something that you and I are willing to talk about be rape and murder?"
"
"Obviously, her family was in a state of decline, but she still wanted to climb high and marry into my Liu family as a young mistress. After being rejected, she forced her to die and suffered the consequences. It's because you don't believe it and you insist on carrying the body on your back to the county government to make a fuss."
"I wanted to give you some money because of your loss, but you didn't think it was enough, and you made a lot of noise in the courtroom and refused to give up. I couldn't bear it anymore, so I gave you the cane punishment. You are lame because you were unlucky.
Okay, what do you want me to do?"
As he spoke, Liu Zhang bowed to the hall and said righteously: "Zhao Ping is slandering an official of the imperial court. Please punish him severely!"
"You, you stupid official, you are talking nonsense..."
Zhao Ping shook his head like a rattle and kowtowed repeatedly, "Sir, he is confusing right and wrong. The truth is not like this at all. My sister did not seduce Liu Tang..."
"Why not? Many people saw her throwing her veil at Tang Er in the street. For a girl to be so shameless, I am even ashamed of her."
Liu Zhang sneered and spoke without mercy.
Zhao Ping was shaking with anger and his eyes were red, "She's not, she didn't, that veil, that veil was snatched away by Liu Tang, sir - everything the grassroots said is true, the grassroots are wronged, my little sister is wronged
ah!"
"If you dare to sue the officials, then provide evidence."
Liu Zhang said again.
For the case three years ago, even if there was any evidence at the time, it had completely disappeared with the passage of time. Liu Zhang was confident because he knew this.
The elegant sparrows were silent in the courtroom.
The others looked at each other without saying a word. Zhao Ping expressed his sorrow and glared at the county magistrate with a meaningless look with his scarlet eyes, wishing he could pounce on him, eat his flesh alive and drink his blood.
In the dead silence, a woman's chuckle came, soft and soft, with a needle hidden in it.
"Listening to Master Liu's words, I thought that the young master of your house was a good man with dignified character and integrity. Didn't you say before that my father raped and killed Mrs. Li and that he 'deserved his crime and deserved his death'?"
Liu Zhang's proud look suddenly settled on his face and he continued to listen.
Su Rao sat upright with her sleeves rolled up. When she saw him, she twitched the corners of her mouth without changing her expression. Then she turned away and glanced at Sun Li. Sun Li had blue veins popping up on his forehead. He moved his body slightly and his whole body looked tense.
It is the string of the bow that is fully drawn.
Her heart moved slightly, was this finally going to be a card?
The next moment.
"Zhao Lian'er is a **slut in your mouth, but what about Baitao? I would like to hear what you plan to say about her?"
Sun Li slowly raised his head and looked at Liu Zhang steadily.
Zhao Ping suddenly turned his head when he heard the words "**slut", and was about to get angry, but suddenly froze when he clearly saw the resentment and anger in his eyes.
He mentioned someone!
White peach!
The name sounded very familiar, but it was hard to recall for a while. Surao tried her best to search for memories in her mind, and suddenly an idea came to her.
"Isn't Baitao the daughter of the owner of that tofu shop?"
Her words quickly attracted the echo of others, "Yes, yes, that's her. She has been dead for more than ten years. Why are you mentioning her? It's so scary."
"Sun Li asked the county magistrate what he thought of a dead man?"
"Could it be that Baitao's death is related to him?"
…
During this discussion, Liu Zhang's expression finally changed, his lips trembled slightly due to fear, his expression was stiff, and he said nothing.
Su Rao had a panoramic view of all this, especially when she saw Sun Li's cruel and gradually expanding cheerful smile after seeing Liu Zhang's reaction. There was no suppression, no restraint, no pretense, and some were just risking everything to save his life.
Definitely!
She understood suddenly.
The result of today is the cause of the past.
This is his motive!
