Zhao Jin watched Chen Shirong's cry with cold eyes.
"The confessions you two made are completely different, Zhao Jin, what explanation do you have?" the county captain said.
"Just wait for the witnesses to come." Zhao Jin raised his eyes.
Not long after, the Yamen Guard came back, alone and without anyone.
The county magistrate frowned, "Where are the people?"
"Sir," the Yamen Guard smiled bitterly, "she said she didn't know anything and had never met Master Chen or this young master."
Chen Shirong was overjoyed, pointed at Zhao Jin's nose and shouted, "Did you hear that? She said she had never seen you before!"
"How dare you frame this young master so unreasonably."
"I have made a false accusation and deceived the court official in court. Do you know your crime?" The county lieutenant said with a cold face and slapped Jingmutang.
Zhao Jin smiled. He understood that women were afraid of damaging their reputation and were unwilling to testify.
It's just that these people's behavior is really funny.
"Sir, let alone whether it is true what the woman said, based on his confession alone, I am not the only one who is lying."
"Didn't Master Chen say that I was teasing that woman first?"
Chen Shirong choked and was speechless.
"Hmph! How brave!" the county lieutenant shouted coldly, "You made the false accusation first, and Chen Shirong just lied to protect himself. They have different natures, how can they be confused!"
"Yes, yes!" Chen Shirong responded hurriedly.
The county magistrate glanced at the county captain with a mocking look in his eyes.
Zhao Jin almost wanted to applaud them, but in fact, he did so.
"Bah!" Zhao Jin raised his hand and struck it twice with his palms together, "What your Lord Commander said is very good."
"I've always heard that the Lord Commander 'clearly distinguishes right from wrong' and never 'bends the law for personal gain'. I can see this today."
The sarcasm in his words was so strong that it was about to overflow.
The county lieutenant was furious, "You dare to be unruly! If you insult the imperial official, your crime will be increased!"
"Insulting an official of the imperial court?" Zhao Jin pretended to be confused, "Sir, I am obviously praising you, why have I ever insulted you?"
"you!"
Zhao Jin suppressed his doubts and fake smile, "Sir, it's normal for a woman to avoid talking about it for the sake of her innocence. The incident happened in the market that day, and there were so many witnesses. Why didn't you go check it out?"
"I don't need you to teach me..."
Before the officer's words of rebuke could be uttered, the officer said quietly, "That's right. I have already sent someone to collect evidence."
Zhao Jin smiled, bowed slightly and said, "Your Excellency is wise."
The lieutenant's expression turned completely dark.
However, the county magistrate had secretly sent someone there, and he didn't even know when he would send it. It was already too late to recover him.
After hearing what Jun Cheng said, Chen Shirong also darkened his expression and glared at Jun Cheng fiercely.
Seeing the turbulent undercurrents among these three people, Zhao Jin had some concerns in his heart.
It didn't take long for the Yamen Guard to collect evidence. Zhao Jin estimated that the county magistrate had already sent people to collect evidence as early as when the case was reported.
Although most people did not dare to offend the Chen family, they kept silent about it.
However, there is always a shortage of people in the world who fight against injustice and hate evil, so they told the Yamen Guards everything that Chen Shirong did that day.
During this collection of evidence, every piece of evidence pointed to Chen Shirong.
Although Chen Shirong looked unhappy, he was not too scared.
The county magistrate slapped the Jingmu Hall vigorously, and the sound was louder than the one made by the magistrate before.
"Snapped!"
"Bold Chen Shirong! He is full of lies! He bullies men and dominates women, gathers people to fight, and then frame others in order to escape the blame! Do you know your guilt?"
Chen Shirong smiled arrogantly, quite unscrupulously, "Sir, how can something that you and I agree on be called bullying men and dominating women?"
"It's obvious that the bitch wanted to seduce me. As for gathering a crowd to fight, please don't forget, sir, I am the direct grandson of the Chen family. My Chen family still has some money as security."
"It's nonsense to accuse others falsely. Please ask the people around you, why did I frame this kid?"
The lieutenant narrowed his eyes and said, "I didn't hear you."
The other government guards did not dare to say a word.
Zhao Jin's eyelids were slightly closed, and his eyes were cold.
He knew that the Chen family was powerful and colluded with the county captains, but he never thought that they would be so arrogant.
The dignified county magistrate, Zhao Jin glanced upward, obviously extremely angry, but helpless.
"Ha," Zhao Jin chuckled, "Isn't there a false accusation?"
Chen Shirong looked at Zhao Jin with contempt, "Boy, I advise you to..."
Zhao Jin directly interrupted Chen Shirong and took out the tooth tag from his arms, "Be brave, Chen Shirong, what crime should you commit if you commit the following crime!"
It’s the dental plaque of the Yunzhou County Sheriff!
Li Qing and Xu Yongshen, the former is a county magistrate and the latter is a county lieutenant, so they naturally recognize the dental plaques.
Although Chen Shirong has no official position, the Chen family is powerful. In addition to being a local gentry with strong financial resources and being the leader of Yunzhou, another important reason is that someone from the Chen family is an official in the imperial court.
So Chen Shirong also knows the toothpaste.
"Yunzhou County Sheriff?"
Everyone suddenly remembered that the governor of Yunzhou was the eldest prince of Prince Liang's palace.
Chen Shirong's face changed again and again, and finally he bowed his hands and said, "I was blind and offended the county governor. Please forgive me."
The implication is that this requires sum.
But Zhao Jin had no intention of suing for peace.
The county magistrates and county lieutenants came down one after another to pay their respects to Zhao Jin.
It's just that these two people have just offended Zhao Jin, but except for the Jun Cheng who is still a little frightened, the Jun Lieutenant's expression remains unchanged, as if nothing happened just now.
When Zhao Jin's eyes fell on him, the county captain even smiled back.
Zhao Jin lifted up his robe and stood directly behind the court table.
Standing down from a high position, he looked at the people who were kneeling or bowing.
"Chen Shirong, who oppressed women of the people in public, gathered people to fight, and falsely accused others, is guilty of the following crimes! Come and drag him out, give him fifty beatings with a cane, and imprison him for one year!"
Not only did Zhao Jin not agree to Chen Shirong's request for peace, he also increased the crime and showed no mercy.
Chen Shirong's eyes widened. He had been domineering in Yunzhou for many years, and no one had ever dared to punish him like this!
"Zhao Jin! Why do you do that!" Chen Shirong originally showed weakness because the old man told him that if he met the Yunzhou County Sheriff, he should not confront him head-on and find out the details before taking action.
But now that someone is riding on his head, how can Chen Shirong tolerate it?
"Why?" Zhao Jin threw the imperial letter and dental plaque on the table and looked at Chen Shirong, "Just because I am the governor of Yunzhou County."
"If you break the law and discipline, I have the right to punish you!"
Every word Zhao Jin speaks is sonorous and powerful.
"Sir, Chen Shirong is from the Chen family, and his second uncle is from the third rank..." The county lieutenant still bowed, Zhao Jin did not let them get up, and no one dared to get up.
Zhao Jin interrupted the county captain with a smile but not a smile, "What does Chen Shirong's violation of the law have to do with his second uncle? Is it possible that because his second uncle is a third-rank official, the Chen family can break the law with impunity?"
The lieutenant was speechless for a moment. These were the unspoken rules of officialdom, so naturally he couldn't say them openly.
