Chapter 5 Court Autopsy

The waning moon is half covered, and the cicadas are restless and the wind is cold.

Located outside the southernmost county government office in Huanhua County, the fire was shining. A woman in plain clothes held a drumstick in her hand. Every time she waved her sleeves to blast, she drifted a sharp curve in the air.

"Bang", "Bang", "Bang"...

The heavy and rapid drum beats smash the long night, and the sounds hit the hearts.

When the county magistrate, the yamen runners and others rushed back with their bodies, they saw this scene, and they looked even more embarrassed when they were all over.

"I will pass on the orders of this official to open the yamen and go to the hall!"

In just a few words, it makes me grit my teeth.

After saying that, the county magistrate glared at the figure and walked into the county government. When Su Rao heard this, her hands stopped moving, put the drumstick back to its original place, and followed slowly.

Seeing this, the onlookers rushed up the steps like rushing, plucking the fences they laid down, stretching their necks into them.

"Who is in the hall and why are you complaining about the wrong?"

The county magistrate shouted at the awkward tree, and the shouts of killing the powerful stick shook the sky.

After the sound fell, Su Rao followed the routine bow and replied loudly: "The civilian girl Su Rao, who is accused of her father and Mrs. Li, is not a case that she refuses to rape and murder, but someone commits a crime and frames."

"Where is the evidence?"

The county magistrate looked at her condescendingly, with a cold look on his face: "Since you dare to swear an injustice, you should know that you want to overturn the case that I have decided. It is not possible to speak a few words of verbal words. If you can't come up with evidence, don't blame me for punishing you for the crime of chaotic trouble and rewarding you with thirty pillars!"

This statement is purely difficult. If there have been any doubts in the case, it will be reported to the government and the officials will conduct detailed investigations and then investigate.

The case was not heard from the beginning, so how could it be said that the case was reversed?

But she is sure that she has no choice but to be helpless and can only be bullied if she is weak!

Su Rao closed her eyes and pondered for a moment, and asked softly: "If I come up with evidence, would you like to investigate the case in detail?"

"That's of course, I am the parent of Huanhua County. If such a strange tragedy occurs in my jurisdiction, I will definitely pursue it to the end."

The righteous words of the county magistrate were in awe of awesomeness.

The people's discussion came from behind, mostly laughing at her bluff. Su Rao turned a blind eye to this, and turned to look at the master who was dozing off, and reminded him: "The next record must be recorded in order to be sealed in the future and submitted to the prefecture for a review."

Hearing this, the master hesitated to look at the county magistrate. After he got his permission, he replied, "Okay", dipped in ink and spread paper, and signaled her to start at any time.

"The evidence that the lord wants is in these two dead."

In front of everyone, Su Rao asked for an oil lamp and walked to the middle of Chen Fang's two bodies in the court, squatting, with a calm voice, "Let's talk about the case of Mrs. Li hanging beams first, you can see..."

"Slow down!"

The county magistrate suddenly spoke out and looked at her suspiciously, "Do you want a autopsy?"

"What about that?"

Su Rao saw the suspicion and distrust in his eyes, raised her eyes and said indifferently: "All things in prison are more important than great deeds, and great deeds are more important than first love, and first love is more important than test. There is no coroner in the yamen, and I don't have a body quit. How can I know the cause of death, correct the mistakes, and clear the name of the wrongs?"

Huanhua County is poor and remote, and the government government has very little salary and is often owed. After the original coroner resigned, no one has made up for the vacancies.

So she had to do it herself.

"Nothing!"

The county magistrate slapped the table and said, "Why do you think a child with a yellow mouth can be used as a certificate for the court?"

As soon as these words came out, the yamen runners and the people were also furious.

"That's right, a woman's autopsy, this is really a strange story!"

"In order to overturn the case for his father, he can even tell such a lie. The Su family's father and daughter are really getting less and less of a bottom line."

"I thought she was so ridiculous."

Questioning and cursing came overwhelmingly, as if they were about to lift the roof of the county government. Seeing this, the county magistrate slapped the wood and said angrily: "What are you quarreling, silence, silence!"

"mighty--"

The killing stick was sounded again, and it was finally easy to suppress the sound.

However, the atmosphere in the court sank to the end, causing people to fall into the ice cave.

After all, anyone who is pulled up in the middle of the night and listens to such boring jokes will be furious!

"Su Rao, you are talking nonsense and beating the wronged drums. I will be sentenced to you thirty rods as punishment."

The county magistrate half-supported the table and looked down at her, and said angrily: "Come here, drag it down and beat me!"

The yamen runners standing on both sides came forward according to the order and acted as if they were to attack people.

"Who dares!"

Su Rao's face remained unchanged, her sharp eyes passed through the layers of people's walls, and she fell into the county's great master: "Sir, why do you ask me? Just because my father is from the Zhengcao, I get his personal teachings, and I am familiar with the Great Yonglu Order."

"It is a taboo to punish the crime but not to examine the autopsy."

"I asked the master to take detailed records so that he could find some information when the provincial government re-inspection. Is it a slander or a skill? I will tell you what you want to be so quick?"

Her voice is sonorous and she has a kind of confidence and firmness that directly touches people's hearts.

At this moment, the county magistrate and the people present were shaken to varying degrees.

In the crowd, the man in black hugged the sword and sighed: "More than ten years have passed, and the reputation of the iron-faced judge is still there. Unfortunately, I was still breastfeeding when he was in the officialdom. I couldn't get a glimpse of his style. It's such a pity."

"Zhu Yan, please speak well, don't quarrel and make people feel sore."

The man next to him rubbed his arms disgustedly and cursed him a few words.

"You're just jealous of me being educated."

The man in black pouted and leaned forward unwillingly, "Young Master, look at me growing so big, should I be rewarded?"

The man in Jinyi, who was talking to him, did not look back, stared at the beautiful figure in the hall, and the autumn water-like pupils flashed through his heart, saying, "Since you feel a pity, then just keep silent and look down. The name of Su Jue is, Xu has someone to succeed."

"Young Master is so optimistic about her?"

Qi Chi beside him asked with a strange question.

The man smiled faintly.

Su Rao, who was standing in the hall, suddenly felt a chill on her back, and her eyes seemed to be on her body. She suddenly looked back and saw a dark head outside the lights in the hall.

Is it an illusion?

She frowned and inspected for a moment, but found nothing, so she had to withdraw her gaze, but she didn't know that someone in the crowd was amazed, "What a keen perception!"

The trickle is flowing, the mellow and silent.

The county magistrate was unaware of this. He thought about it over and over again, and his mood gradually calmed down. He retreated from the yamen runners and sat down again and said, "If you have to test it, then it's as you wish. Master, remember her words just now."

"Yes, sir."

The master responded, leaned on the desk, and wrote quickly.

The brief episode did not affect Su Rao. She squatted in front of Mrs. Li again, "The reason why the wife has a problem with hanging herself on the beam is to put aside the high doubts mentioned before, the most obvious evidence is here!"

Su Rao pointed her finger on the red marks between her neck, and turned to the yamen runners around and asked, "Do you still remember what she used to hang?"
