Zhou Bi sat in front of the koan with an expressionless expression.
The defendant He's mother was stuffed with a cloth, her hands were tied and thrown to the ground.
Li Yanshi, who was supposed to be the suspect, was sitting on the imperial chair at the bottom, drinking tea leisurely.
Seeing Li Si leading Sun Fulin over, the girl smiled at him and said, "I'll be waiting for you, Mr. Sun."
People around her also smiled at her, and Zhou Bi also smiled.
Sun Fulin's scalp was numb from their laughter.
The situation before him was more serious than he expected.
He decided to strike preemptively and said arrogantly, "What are you doing, Zhou Bi? Where are my people? Where have they gone?"
Zhou Bi looked calm, "Don't be anxious, Mr. Sun. Your people are drinking tea in the yamen. Let's review the case first."
Sun Fulin was still arrogant on his face, "Since we have to try the case, but you haven't arranged a seat for me to sit at, is it possible that I have to sit on the ground?"
Except for the Taishi chair where Li Yan was sitting, there were no other seats in the hall.
Since Sun Fulin was Zhou Bi's superior officer and worked with him on the case, he should have a seat at the table.
Li Yan made a sound in the middle and said with a pointed smile, "Master Sun, can't you tell that you still have such elegant taste? You like to sit on the floor to judge cases."
"The senior officials in Beijing are different from us people in the countryside. It's really eye-opening."
The sarcasm in Li Yan's words was obvious, and everyone burst into laughter again.
Sun Fulin, who was being treated like a monkey, turned his face the color of pig liver.
Li Yan had no intention of letting him go.
She said leisurely, "Li Si, although Mr. Sun's request is a bit strange, but since it is what he asked for, you can go and get the straw mat and spread it on Mr. Sun. Otherwise, we will be rude and others will say that we are not the same as the county."
People don’t know how to treat guests.”
"Okay, Miss Li." After listening to her words, Li Si happily went to get a straw mat and spread it at Sun Fulin's feet.
This is simply a great shame and humiliation.
"It doesn't make sense."
Sun Fulin was so angry that he wished he could tear Li Yan's sharp mouth apart in public, "How dare Li Yan humiliate a court official in public, what crime should she deserve?"
Li Yan glanced at him in surprise, with an innocent look on her face, "If you didn't ask for it yourself, why should you blame the daughter of the people? Are all the high-ranking officials in Beijing so ungraceful?"
She picked up the teacup, blew on it, and took a slow sip of tea.
He didn't take Sun Fulin seriously at all.
"Zhou Bi. Just watch this damn girl act recklessly in the court."
Sun Fulin couldn't bear it anymore and shouted, "We haven't captured the criminal yet."
"Miss Li humiliates you because she thinks highly of you."
"Guan Gu, please see the reality clearly. This is He County. Do you think this is your home?"
"If you dare to speak rudely to Miss Li in He County, you will die."
Before Zhou Bi, who was sitting in the hall, could say anything, all kinds of curses sounded around him.
Sun Fulin's eyes were inexplicably horrified. He was shocked by this group of people. He must have taken drugs.
Zhou Bi in the hall was stunned and said, "Quiet."
The yamen servant shouted mightily.
The people became quiet.
Zhou Bi said, not surprisingly, "The criminal Sun Fulin murdered He Xiucai, a man from the county, and he still didn't kneel down and plead guilty."
Sun Fulin stared at Zhou Bi, feeling like he had seen a ghost, "Zhou Bi, are you crazy? Do you know who you are talking to now?"
Even though Sun Fulin was so angry that no one in the hall paid him any attention.
People around him looked at him like a fool.
Zhang San and Li Si stepped forward, and Sun Fulin was pushed down on the straw mat.
He tried to struggle, but was held down by two government officials, unable to move.
If Sun Fulin doesn't understand now, then his job as an imperial envoy will be in vain.
He looked at Zhou Bi with a cold expression, "Zhou Bi, are you really determined to go against me?"
Zhou Bi said coldly, "This is a courtroom. I am here to hear the case impartially. Don't say anything else."
"This is unreasonable. I am a third-grade official personally appointed by the emperor. How dare you be so presumptuous?"
Sun Fulin stared at him firmly and said harshly, "I will give you another chance, Zhou Bi. Let me go and capture Li Yan quickly."
"I think you have been deceived by others, so I can forgive you."
Sun Fulin looked stern, but Zhou Bi was unmoved and shouted, "You are a bold criminal who set up a trap to kill someone and framed him. Now that it has happened, you are still stubborn?"
"Zhou Bi, are you rebelling?" Sun Fulin's face was ashen.
Zhou Bi clasped his fists in the air and said in a calm tone, "I am worthy of the emperor, and I am worthy of the dawn. If you have any objections, it is you. The emperor has entrusted you with a heavy responsibility, but you have failed the emperor. In order to seek personal gain, you have
You tampered with the disaster food. Seeing things exposed, you plotted to harm others and framed good people, in order to achieve the purpose of frightening me. It is a pity that the sky net is not leaking, and your wishful thinking will eventually come to nothing."
The two of them were at each other's throats, going back and forth, which was extremely exciting.
Li Yan smiled and clapped, "The county magistrate is wise."
Zhou Bi glared at her secretly.
I thought to myself, I don’t know who he is busy with.
She was in the mood to watch a show.
Zhou Bi was giggling in his heart.
Sun Fulin was already panicking in his heart, but his attitude was still arrogant, "Zhou Bi, think clearly, this is not something you can afford. A pariah is worthy of you going against the third prince."
The third prince is Sun Fulin's last trump card. Now, he has no choice but to push the third prince to the front.
He was betting that Zhou Bi didn't know the power behind him, that he was a small official and didn't dare to confront the imperial power.
But the reality was completely different from what Sun Fulin imagined.
Some people ridiculed, "Young official, you haven't recognized the reality yet."
"This is He County. No one dares to go against Miss Li in He County."
"Don't talk about the Third Prince today. Even if the Emperor comes, it will be useless."
"My Lord County Magistrate, this dog official is so insidious, there is no need to talk nonsense with him. Why don't you take off this dog official's clothes and slap him with a fifty-dollar plate, then he will be honest."
It was okay for him not to speak, but when he spoke he was scolded by these people.
Facing these people, even Zhou Bi could only say, "..."
Sighed silently.
Inexplicably, I felt sympathy for Sun Fulin.
I would rather offend a villain than offend Li Yan.
How could the little ancestor stop until Sun Fulin was stripped of his skin?
Sun Fulin's heart was filled with shock.
The defense of Li Yan from the officials to the people has reached the level of madness.
What he saw and said today was beyond the limit of what he could bear.
He looked at that dead girl Li Yan and got up with a smile, and saluted everyone, "Thanks to the love of all my fellow villagers, Li Yan would like to thank you all."
The common people waved to her, "Miss Li, please don't kill the young ones. How can the young ones deserve such a gift from a young lady?"
"You have protected me many times, this is the proper courtesy." The little girl looked serious.
The faces of the people around him were filled with sadness.
Sun Fulin was ignored, "."
The direction of the plot shouldn't be so absurd.
Sun Fulin seemed to have stepped into a fantasy world.
