Practice begins with the awakening of the possessed old devil

The man immediately cried out for the sky and land, screaming his grievances: "The villain is originally from Majia Village outside Jiangling City, and my father is a poor scholar."

"In the early years, my father used his own furniture to buy more than ten acres of fertile land in Majia Village from his Ma family at a high price. Since then, our family has moved to live in Majia Village."

"I never thought that after I went to the capital to study in the government, his Ma family father and son secretly colluded with the bullies in the village, and they used various excuses to come to our house every day to fight and oppress us, causing a lot of trouble."

"In the end, he used the strong to bully the weak, and used all his bullying skills to force my old father to draw a signature. He made a fake usury IOU out of nothing, saying that we owed their Ma family 100 taels of silver."

"My lord, you also know that borrowing money is most afraid of borrowing usury, compound interest rate, interest rate hike, it is simply stealing money, dedicated to murder, there is no way to pay back."

"The Ma family father and son used this kind of villainous behavior and tricks, and finally used a fake 100 taels of usury loan to forcibly take back the ten acres of fertile land from my old father as a low mortgage."

"That's not to mention, the son of the Ma family who is not as good as a pig, dog, or animal took the opportunity to rape my poor wife one day, and forced my chaste wife to hang herself."

"My old parents were already sick with fear and anxiety, and at the same time they were overwhelmed with rage because of the death of their daughter-in-law. They could no longer bear the blow of this accident, and they both died of illness in a fit of anger."

"I heard that there was a great change in the family, and the family property of my parents and wife was embezzled by the father and son of the Ma family, so I rushed home from the government school."

"In a moment of indignation, he broke into their Ma's house with a three-foot sword and killed the wicked Ma family father and son."

"It's probably like this. All these things are caused by their Ma family father and son."

"Hire bullies to bully goodness, make our family restless, and then use all means of coercion."

"Forcing the unwarranted usury IOUs and embezzling my family's ten acres of fertile land."

"In the end, I didn't let my family members go, until they killed my wife and parents."

"Father and son of the Ma family have committed all kinds of crimes, and they deserve to die."

"I avenge my parents and wife, but I am doing my duty as a son and a husband. This is only right and proper."

"The enmity between parents is irreconcilable. If I don't avenge this, I will be a son of man in vain."

"My lord, I have been wronged, why am I guilty?"

"Bold, Sima Ru, you still dare to quibble. After the verification by the government, the 100 taels of usury that your parents owed to the Ma family is indeed true."

"It all started because your parents and wife were seriously ill at the same time. In order to raise funds for medical treatment, your old father borrowed 100 taels of usury from the Ma family."

Li Zhifu glanced sideways at the plaintiff Ma's old woman who was kneeling in the hall and only knew that she was crying endlessly, slapped the gavel again, and said with a stern look on her face: "It's only natural to borrow money to repay money."

"As for whether your wife was humiliated and hanged to death because she was defiled by the son of the Ma family, I can't know for sure."

"Because there is really no conclusive evidence, and even the person involved is completely gone. This is just your own assumption!"

"My lord, it's such a coincidence that my parents, wife and family are sick together."

"This is because the Ma family and his son hired bullies to secretly poison my parents and wife."

"That's why all of them are seriously ill and have to urgently need money to treat their illnesses and save their lives."

"My old father is confused and ignorant, and even asked his villain for help!"

"It's all because of the conspiracy of their Ma family to use their ghost domain tricks, and they will do everything they can to harm the world."

"I hope my lord will see clearly and uphold justice. The villain is wronged!"

"There is no evidence for these things now. The bully in the village bullied the villagers. You said that the Ma family father and son instigated and hired it. This is hard to believe."

"A bully is already harming the people, why should someone ask him to instigate him, otherwise he won't be called a bully."

"And there is no evidence, how can you tell the government to believe your one-sided words."

"Now that the parties involved have been killed by you, you can confuse the government with some nonsensical things."

"It's just to win the sympathy of the government, try to relieve or reduce your guilt."

Ma's old woman would not appeal and defend, she would just cry blindly, crying until her heart was broken. On the contrary, she showed her miserable life experience and won people's sympathy.

Li Futai had no choice but to come forward to argue again: "However, the fact that you killed the Ma family father and son is clearly in front of you. You are a murderer, and you still killed two people in one case."

"You daredevil, why didn't you leave the orders of the Ma family father and son, and come to this government to accuse them of forcing your parents and wife to death."

"And it's up to the government to uphold justice for you and give you a notarized confession."

"Let their father and son accuse them of their crimes, and they will finally get what they deserve. Why don't you kill them to silence them?"

"I'm just filled with righteous indignation for a while, thinking about the grief of my father's death and my mother's death, and the grief of my wife's death. I am eager to revenge, and I don't think about it properly. It's all a coincidence for me."

Sima Ru defended himself again: "My lord, you have to judge the case impartially, the villain is wronged!"

"The government has pronounced the verdict: Sima Ru killed the father and son of the Ma family. The evidence is conclusive. He committed the crime of intentional homicide. He sacrificed his life for his life. Sima Ru will be temporarily put in custody and will be executed in the autumn. Retire!"

In the end, Li Guilong and Li Zhifu disregarded Sima Ru's defense, slammed the gavel, and announced loudly that it was over.

Ni Qi saw that Sima Ru was backed out of the hall by two wolf-like tolerances, the plaintiff, the defendant and the onlookers also whispered and retreated one after another.

Ni Qi was invited into the inner hall by the prefect Li to watch tea and sit with him, while Princess Roxanna, the silver-backed vajra ape and Gui Ao were invited into the side room, and were entertained by servants.

"Mr. Fu, do you think the government's decision on the case is still fair?" Li Zhifu asked Ni Qi privately.

"Master Li's judgment of the case can be described as stern and impartial, and it is indeed fair."

Ni Qi didn't say much, but nodded in agreement with Li Zhifu's point of view.

"After all, human life is at stake. No one has the right to kill others in private. The court's law is here. All criminals should be judged and handled impartially by the government."

"Boy, this murderer, Sima Ru, is not bad. Not only did he go to government school, he can be regarded as educated, he also learned fencing, so he has some kung fu skills."

"Now that he dares to kill someone to avenge his parents and wife, he is considered courageous, knowledgeable and courageous."

"And he murdered for a reason, just because of a moment of anger, to avenge his parents and wife, he is a real man with blood."

"The case is probably the facts he described. Although there is no conclusive evidence, we all know it well."

The Nightmare Demon Emperor immediately reminded Ni Qi in his mind: "Having experienced so many sufferings in the world, he is indeed a rare talent."

"You can save his life secretly and take it back for your use, and he can take charge of the overall situation on his own."

He also didn't see through what Ni Qi's plan was, for someone like Sima Ru didn't care about it face to face, and even agreed with the prefect Li's verdict.

"You don't need to say, I made up this idea a long time ago, let him spend a little more time in death row to reflect on it."

"If you can't cut a jade, you can't make a weapon. More suffering and self-examination are always particularly hardening."

"Especially knowing that one's own death is approaching, during this miserable time can promote a person's inner struggle, and thus accelerate the growth of xinxing," Ni Qi responded with a nod.

"Master Li, Li Futai, I still have something to worry about, sir."

"I think the weather in Jiangling City is not bad, and the population is quite prosperous. I just want to buy more property here."

"Do you want to accommodate me in various aspects, and tell the decent bosses and gentry in this city to transfer part of the property to me in a sensible way?" Ni Qi finally got to the point when facing Li Futai. superior.

"There is also taxation for my property. You also want to give me a discount. That's it. What do you think?"

"Ah, Mr. Fu, do you want to buy property in Jiangling City under my rule?"

Li Zhifu was quite surprised, and then there was a new change in the way he looked at Ni Qi.

"This is not difficult to do. Tomorrow, I can use the pretext of inviting you to drink tea, and call the city's prominent merchants and gentlemen with many industries to come to my mansion to gather. We can talk to them slowly during the dinner."

"However, I have a piece of good news for a long time, that is, Boss Liu, who opened Xunyue Building, has long been willing to sell the real estate private workshop under his name."

"As for the price, it can be negotiated in person. It should be appropriate to give you a favorable price."

"The reason is that Boss Liu has too many properties in each city, and now he is willing to sell them at a discount to cash in exchange for more silver in his hands."

"With early preparations for the coming of Tianmeng's cavalry in the future, everyone is in urgent need of a contingency when fleeing."

"Young master, if you are interested, you can discuss with him privately, I will go find him right now!"

"Xunyue Tower? Isn't this a brothel?" Ni Qi was slightly surprised when he heard this.

"Opening a brothel is generally the most profitable business. There is no reason to sell it. Could it be that there must be something weird here?"

"Young master is indeed a sensible person. I will tell you the truth. The Xunyue Tower is rumored to be suddenly haunted by ghosts. Several clients have already died."

"Afterwards, there was a lot of trouble, and no one dared to patronize it anymore."

Li Zhifu didn't dare to hide Ni Qi as "Mr. Fu", so he had to tell him the truth: "Mr. really wants to buy his Xunyue Tower, and he can kill its price."

"Bought it at the most affordable price, the absolute price-performance ratio is super high."

"It's easy to talk about, everything is easy to talk about, but my son, I'm tired of traveling today, and I need to find a place to settle down very early. Master Li should arrange a posthouse for my group to stay for a few days!"

Ni Qi planned to come here to deceive the prefect Li, so he naturally didn't know what politeness is, so he immediately made a request to the prefect Li with the cheek.

"That's natural, that's natural!" Li Zhifu repeatedly praised him, wishing to send this "Mr. Fu" out of the house like a plague god.

So he immediately arranged for two trusted yamen servants, and led Ni Qi and the others to the posthouse to settle down and rest temporarily.

Posthouses are equivalent to government guest houses, they are all used for official errands to live in, and the natural conditions are very good, not much better than those first-class inns.
