The world's first county magistrate

Chapter 5 The Girl with the Sword

Song Wei's words were astonishing. Everyone saw the content of the previous trial, and Duan Wende didn't explain anything at all.

"This"

Pan Kang looked at Song Wei's serious look, and began to be uncertain.

Seeing that Pan Kang was speechless for a moment, Song Wei said: "Pan Kang, if you explain everything now, I can handle it for you as appropriate and reduce your guilt. If you still persist in your stubbornness, I will definitely increase the punishment!"

"Sir, little man"

Hearing Song Wei's words, Pan Kang lost his mind even more. He glanced at Master Pan who was on the stage, and Master Pan shook his head quietly.

"My lord, everything the villain said is true."

Song Wei nodded: "Very good."

"Cai Hu, take Master Pan and Pan Kang down."

Everyone was stunned.

Call people up and just ask this sentence?

What is this magistrate going to do?
Cai Hu had doubts in his heart, but he didn't hesitate, and he took Master Pan and Pan Kang down again.

Master Pan looked at Song Wei, his expression became a little bit ugly.

Something bad arose in his heart.

After Master Pan and Pan Kang were taken down, Song Wei said again: "Bring Duan Wende, the head of He'an Village, here."

After a while, Duan Wende was brought up.

"Duan Wende, the head of He'an Village, pays homage to your lord." Duan Wende knelt down and kowtowed.

"In that case, please come and keep all the people in the court and bring up the chief of He'an Village!"

Song Wei slapped the gavel: "Duan Wende, are you convicted?"

Duan Wende was shocked and stammered: "Sir, this villain doesn't know what crime he is guilty of!"

Song Wei laughed: "It's still a matter of sophistry. Pan Kang has already explained what you did back then, but you are still sophistrying here. If this is the case, don't blame me for being rude."

"Come on, put on the instruments of torture!"

Song Wei gave a shout.

Duan Wende was stunned by Song Wei's words before he could figure out the situation.

That fellow Pan Kang has already confessed?

Why did you sell yourself so quickly?
Should not be!

Duan Wende quietly raised his head to look at Song Wei, Song Wei didn't look like he was pretending.

Song Wei saw that Duan Wende was beginning to waver, and his heart dropped.

What he wants is not Duan Wende's belief, as long as he is shaken, that's enough.

Song Wei came down from the hall, walked up to Duan Wende, and said in a low voice: "Duan Wende, I think you are the head of a village, and you are also a person who is dedicated to the country and the court, so I will give you another chance. To be honest, I don't need to hold you accountable. If you still wholeheartedly protect the Pan family, then don't blame the master for being ruthless. As the head of a village, if you know the law and break the law, the crime will be aggravated. Then your whole family will be punished by you. All the men in your family will be assigned, and all the women in your family will be sold to brothels for everyone to be humiliated."

"This"

Duan Wende was completely confused.

The Pan family can be said to be the tyrant in Zhen'an County, and he, the head of He'an Village, can't afford to mess with him.

But the magistrate, he can't afford to mess with him.

"I'll give you three counts, after three counts, master, I'm going to get serious!"

"three!"

"two!"

"one……"

Duan Wende's psychological defense finally collapsed under Song Wei's continuous pressure.

He yelled: "My lord, the villain will do it all, the villain will do it all!"

Song Wei chuckled.

solved.

Song Wei had never been an official in his previous life, but he watched a lot of criminal investigation dramas.

In the final analysis, the interrogation is a psychological warfare against the suspects. As long as they find a way to break through the psychological defense of any one of them, the case will basically be solved.

Song Wei continued to interrogate Duan Wende and Pan Kang separately, not to put pressure on Pan Kang, but to put pressure on Duan Wende, a timid village chief.

Song Wei returned to the hall, patted the gavel, and shouted: "Duan Wende, tell me everything you know, if you hide anything, you know the consequences."

Duan Wende kowtowed and shouted: "The villain dare not lie any more."

Song Wei: "Speak."

Duan Wende: "The situation at that time was like this. The mountain itself was an ownerless thing. Xue Yihu spent several years developing a good farmland at the bottom of the mountain and grew a lot of grain in a year. This news was known to Pan Sifeng , Pan Sifeng sent Pan Kang to seize it. Pan Kang found the villain and wanted to forge a land deed. Under pressure, the villain had to compromise. The villain knows his crime and begs for leniency."

Song Wei shouted softly: "Bring Pan Sifeng and Pan Wei up."

After the people were brought up, Song Wei said to Duan Wende: "Duan Wende, say what you said before again!"

Duan Wende looked at Pan Sifeng and Pan Kang, shrank his head, and repeated what he said before.

"Duan Wende! You! You lied!"

After Duan Wende finished speaking, Pan Kang shouted and wanted to rush towards Duan Wende, but was suppressed by the yamen servants.

Song Wei slapped the gavel: "Quiet!"

"Pan Kang, what do you have to say about what Village Chief Duan said?"

"My lord! Duan Wende is lying, the villain is telling the truth!"

Pan Kang was suppressed by the yamen servant, and said through gritted teeth.

Duan Wende turned his back on the water, and now he is ready to go all out. He shouted to Song Wei: "My lord, I still have evidence!"

Song Wei had long expected that Duan Wende would have this skill. He smiled and said, "What evidence?"

Duan Wende said: "The villain has a letter, which is written by Uncle Pan...Pan Sifeng, which explains in detail how we can forge the land deed. This letter was supposed to be destroyed, but the villain kept an eye out and didn't destroy it. Instead, they stayed and burned a fake letter in front of Pan Kang."

"Where is the letter?" Song Wei asked.

Duan Wende took out a letter from his pocket: "Here."

Cai Hu has good eyesight now, so he walked over directly and presented the letter to Song Wei.

Seeing Duan Wende take out the letter, Pan Wei and Pan Sifeng's expressions instantly became extremely ugly.

Song Wei opened the letter, he was very familiar with the words on it, and it was indeed Pan Sifeng's handwriting.

Song Wei looked at Master Pan and said with a smile: "Pan Sifeng, come and see, is this handwriting yours?"

Pan Sifeng looked defeated: "Master, you don't need to read it, this letter is true."

Song Wei shouted to Pan Kang again: "Pan Kang, what else do you have to say?"

Pan Kang raised his head: "My lord, the little one has nothing to say."

Song Wei followed up with a pat on the gavel: "The judge now pronounces that Pan Kang and Pan Sifeng forged the land deed to seize Xue Dahu's fertile land and beat Xue Dahu. Pan Sifeng illegally imprisoned Xue Dahu and punished him for multiple crimes. , return Xue Dahu to Qiufeng Mountain, punish the Pan family to compensate Xue Dahu's family with 50 taels of silver, and it can be executed!"

After Song Wei finished speaking, he took out the command arrow in front of him and threw it out.

When the arrow landed, a system voice sounded in Song Wei's mind.

"The task is completed, and 500 points will be rewarded. Now there are 800 points in total."

"Thank you, Master Qingtian!"

"Thank you, Master Qingtian!"

Xue Dahu and Xue Erhu knelt on the ground and kowtowed loudly.

The people outside the county government office were also erupting. No one thought that Song Wei actually sentenced the Pan family, and the sentence was so straightforward.

"It's really Master Qingtian!"

"Our Zhen'an County is about to change!"

"Although I don't know why County Magistrate Song suddenly became better, I suddenly like him very much."

……

Pan Sifeng was detained by the yamen servants, he turned his head and shouted to Song Wei: "Master, do you really want to kill them all like this?"

Song Wei looked at Pan Sifeng: "The law is ruthless!"

Pan Sifeng suddenly became fierce and angry, and he shouted: "Song Wei, since you are ruthless, don't blame me for being unjust. All your evidence over the years is in my hands. If you don't want me to have an easy time, don't even think about it." , Hahaha, just wait!”

"Ding!"

"The system task is issued: eradicate Pan Sifeng's threat to me within 24 hours. After the task is completed, 300 points will be rewarded. If the task fails, I will become a civilian and the system will disappear!"

After hearing the system's task, Song Wei said directly: "Hit!"

Immediately, there were screams, large and small, in the courtroom.

When there were no screams, Pan Sifeng and Pan Kang were both dying.

But people outside the courtroom felt displeased when they saw Song Wei's judgment.

"It's really Master Qingtian!"

"Our county magistrate has changed for the better! Lord Black Sky has become Lord Qingtian!"

Seeing what people outside said, Song Wei's temperament also improved. After handling the remaining matters, he returned to the main hall.

What Song Wei didn't know was that these two cases had changed most people's views on him. People spread the news on the streets that Song Wei was the Master Qingtian.

At this time, in a tea house somewhere in Zhen'an County, a girl with a sword also heard the shouts, and couldn't help frowning in doubt.

"not dead!?"
