Hope for luck

Chapter 22 Reversing Black and White

Seeing Zhou Zhengxin's righteous words, Deng Wenshan could only stare at Zhou Zhengxin with wide eyes, unable to refute.

"Your confession clearly stated that it was definitely Pi Chuxin, but now you retract the confession and say it's not Pi Chuxin. If so, perjury is also the same crime as the main criminal. Have you thought about it clearly?"

Gao Pan ignored Zhou Zhengxin's dominance at the moment, but asked a few witnesses.

"My lord, Cao Min did see someone beating Zheng Sanle and his wife that day, but the leader was a bit like Pi Chuxin, but I couldn't remember clearly afterwards..."

"The same is true of Caomin. I dare not say that it is definitely him, but it can be said that it is just like him..."

"..."

Several witnesses expressed their opinions.

"You guys, thanks to the fact that you are still from Shanghe Village, my son also helped you a lot in the village, and now you speak out of conscience, aren't you afraid of retribution?"

This is what Zheng Xizhou, who had been silent all this time, couldn't help pointing at several witnesses tremblingly.

Seeing this, these people all blushed, but some people couldn't help but say:
"Uncle Zheng, even though that's the case, we were really just looking at it that day. Besides, when we approached, Sanle and his wife were already out of breath, and the beating person had long since disappeared. Everyone was watching. Can't blame us..."

"My lord, Master Qingtian... My son died a miserable death, please let him be the master!"

Seeing this, Zheng Xizhou had no choice but to put his hopes on Gao Pan.

"My lord, at present, it seems that Deng Dianshi has not investigated the case at all. I heard that the arrest document was issued by my lord himself. The lower officials feel that it is against the rules to arrest people privately before the case is clear. Second, Deng Dianshi I still want to beat you into a trick, if the patrol envoy finds out, whether it is Deng Dianshi or you, my lord, they will all be questioned!"

Zhou Zhengxin stood up quickly at this moment, and said earnestly.

But to Deng Wenshan and Gao Pan's ears, it was tantamount to slapping them in the face, especially the last sentence, which was suspected of accusing Gao Pan and Deng Wenshan of ineffective handling of the case!
Hearing this, Deng Wenshan's face turned blue and red at this moment, he was so anxious that he didn't know how to explain to Gao Pan, and finally he could only cup his hands and say:
"My lord, I am responsible for this case alone. If the superior inspects the case, your lord will say that I took over it..."

After Gao Pan heard it, he instantly understood that Deng Wenshan subconsciously thought that Zhou Zhengxin would go to the inspectorate to read him a book!
After thinking about it, Gao Pan said softly:

"Deng Dianshi, this case is not over yet, so why are you so frustrated? What Zhou Xiancheng said was just to be more rigorous in adjudicating the case. I don't think that Zhou Xiancheng will go to the police department because of such a trivial matter. ?”

The Dongshan Inspection Department supervises and inspects all officials in the province, including the Dongshan Governor, who is also within the scope of its supervision.

After hearing this, Zhou Zhengxin thought that Gao Pan had given in, and said with a smile:

"Naturally, I'm just reminding you one or two things. How could you play on it... My lord, in this way, the murderer is very likely to be someone else, and Pi Chuxin may have been wronged!"

Gao Pan waved his hands and said:

"Hey, it's not too early to speak. Since they all think that the murderer is like Pi Chuxin, then he can't escape the suspicion. Master Yin, how should the trial proceed?"

As he spoke, he asked Yin Weian next to him. On one side of the courtroom, there were scribes who specially recorded the details of court trials.

Yin Wei'an had always stood aside and watched with low eyebrows, but when he suddenly heard Gao Pan's call, he was terrified, and then he reacted, and quickly bowed to Gao Pan to talk about the next regulations.

At this time, a person walked in from the back hall of the court, and said while walking:

"Big brother, why didn't you wake up? I only woke up when my sister came to wake me up. Didn't you tell me last night that you would take me out with you..."

The person who came in was none other than Peng Ming who was only thinking about running errands for Gao Pan.

Naturally, he didn't think too much about it, and broke into the court at once, ready to come to Gao Pan's side to accompany him.

"presumptuous……"

Seeing this, Gao Pan pretended to be angry, stood up, came to Peng Ming and said something sternly, and Peng Ming bowed and left the courtroom.

Gao Pan turned his head and said in a deep voice:

"My little brother is not sensible. He broke into the courtroom suddenly. It's a violation of the rules. Wait for me to teach him a lesson. Let's take a rest. The trial of this case will be suspended..."

After finishing speaking, Gao Pan left the courtroom by himself.

Seeing this, Deng Wenshan's heart sank to a trough, and after glancing at Zhou Zhengxin, he also walked out of the courtroom.

Seeing this, Zhou Zhengxin squinted his eyes and looked at the back of him leaving, but he was very disapproving in his heart.

After thinking about it, Zhou Zhengxin came to Pi Chuxin's side, said a few words in a low voice, and then left the courtroom. Yin Wei'an did not follow Gao Pan, but followed Zhou Zhengxin.

"My lord, it seems that the matter of Shanghe Village can continue to be concealed?"

After arriving in an alley, Yin Wei'an said flatteringly.

"Shouldn't it be concealed? Shanghe Village has nothing to do with it. According to what you said, everything has become troubled!"

Zhou Zhengxin gave Yin Wei'an a stern look, and said in a deep voice.

"Yes, yes, look at me, I said the wrong thing again, I should hit you, please forgive me, my lord!"

Yin Weian pretended to slap himself.

"Okay, don't be hypocritical... After this incident, almost no one believes in Deng Wenshan. As for Shanghe Village, that's all. Let's talk about it when the next county magistrate arrives!"

Zhou Zhengxin waved his hands impatiently. He saw that Yin Wei'an was just posturing and didn't really slap himself.

After hearing this, Yin Weian blushed, smiled in shame, and then said:
"My lord, although Gao Pan is here to take the blame, how long will it last? Can our county government wait until Xinzhi County takes office? Besides, it's your turn to correct the crime this time, right?"

Hearing Yin Weian talk about Fuzheng, Zhou Zhengxin's heart warmed up, and a glimmer of expectation flashed in his eyes.

He just came from a family background, waited for a long time, and did not know how much he did, and then he got a real lack of master.

Slowly promoted to the county magistrate, the eighth rank, already considered an official official, but still only the second sesame official.

If one can step into the top seven ranks and hold the seal of a county, even if one enters the officialdom, one can also be named in the merit examination department of the Ministry of Officials!

For him, this is tantamount to a carp jumping over the dragon's gate and crossing a big hurdle!
"It depends on whether I have this luck... However, the horoscope has not been written yet, so don't make wild guesses..."

Speaking of his own heart, Zhou Zhengxin couldn't help but say what was in his heart, and couldn't help but warn Yin Wei'an.

"The humble position knows, but the humble position wants to come. The magistrate has long known that he is diligent in governing, and he has been the county magistrate in Dantang County for five years. It is time to become the magistrate of the palm print!"

Yin Weian knew how to flatter him, so he said with a flattering smile, it seems that Zhou Zhengxin is already the magistrate of Dantang County now!
