The Female Assistant of Wei Yuyan Shuangfei

In the inner courtyard of the county government office, the more than twenty people who were invited in were arranged one by one under the steps of the main hall. Xie Tingwen was also considerate enough to prepare a table for everyone.

Two cups of tea were placed on each table. It was such a thoughtful gesture that made everyone feel like they were listening to a live song.

Zhao Zhen looked at the scene in front of him and couldn't help but sigh in amazement: "This Lord Xie is quite something. I didn't know that a trial could be so fun."

Yan Shuang shook his head helplessly. Although he still didn't know what Xie Tingwen was up to, looking at the current situation, he always felt that there was something fishy going on.

Just as everyone was looking at the scene in front of them with joy, they heard a crisp "pop" sound from the main hall, followed by the yamen runners shouting: "Mighty..."

The killing stick beat the ground rhythmically, and there was a sudden silence inside and outside the main hall. Everyone held their breath and waited, each playing their own role and acting as a well-behaved listener.

"Someone! Bring Zhang Lei, Han Qi, Zhang Yuan, and Qian Ming to the classroom."

As soon as Xie Tingwen finished speaking, he saw a group of yamen runners escorting Zhang Lei and Han Qi, while Zhang Yuan and Qian Ming were led into the main hall by the yamen runners.

After the four of them arrived at the hall, they bowed and kowtowed, saying, "Your humble servants pay their respects to you, sir."

Xie Tingwen glanced at Sun Cheng who was sitting in the clerk's position, and the other party understood and immediately picked up the pen and waited.

"Crack!~"

Xie Tingwen slammed the gavel, looked at the four people in the hall and said coldly: "According to my investigation, the Zhang's corpse case is related to you. If you lie and don't report it in the hall today, don't blame me for being ruthless."

"We, your humble servants, dare not." The four people responded tremblingly.

"Han Qi!~"

"Fuck...I'm here." Han Qi responded with some fear.

"Zhang Lei is in prison. How did the Zhang family grain store end up in your hands? You inherited the Zhang family property in the name of Zhang Lei's brother-in-law. Can anyone verify your identity?"

"I am from Hanjiazhuang, Sanxiang Qizhuang. My eldest sister married Mr. Zhang, also known as Zhang Lei, five years ago and became his second wife. Many people in Hanjiazhuang can confirm this. Please understand, sir."

"Where is the head of Hanjiazhuang?" Xie Tingwen asked loudly.

The head of Hanjiazhuang, who had been listening to the opera, saw everyone looking at him in surprise. He looked at the main hall in confusion, not knowing what was going on.

"Han Lizheng! Is the master asking questions?" someone reminded in a low voice.

Upon hearing this, Han Lizheng hurriedly rolled up his sleeves, and walked up to the hall in a panic, leaning forward and saying, "I am Han Shu, the head of Hanjiazhuang. Nice to meet you, sir?"

"Han Lizheng, there's no need to be so polite. Is what Han Qi said true?"

Faced with Xie Tingwen's questioning, Han Shu did not dare to respond rashly. He took a step forward, took a look at Han Qi, and couldn't help but frowned.

His expression was naturally caught by Xie Tingwen. Looking at Han Shu who seemed to be at a loss for words, Xie Tingwen's face darkened and he said, "Han Lizheng! Is what Han Qi said wrong?"

"My Lord, what Han Qi said is true. It is well known in Hanjiazhuang. But...but the person who claims to be Han Qi is hard for me to recognize."

"What does Han Lizheng mean by this?" Xie Tingwen couldn't help but wonder.

Han Shu did not dare to be arrogant. He explained every detail of Han Qi's family affairs in the main hall, just like pouring beans from a bamboo tube. Everyone suddenly realized what was going on after hearing what he said.

It is true that Han Qi was born in Hanjiazhuang. When Han Jiao was sixteen years old, she married Zhang Lei as his second wife and took the six-year-old Han Qi away from Hanjiazhuang.

Now that more than ten years have passed, it would be difficult for him to identify it, not to mention that he has already received a warning from Xie Shuting.

Seeing that Han Qi's identity was being questioned, Xie Tingwen waved his hand to let Han Shu leave the main hall, and then slammed the gavel and said: "Han Qi! Do you have any witnesses or physical evidence that can prove your identity?"

Han Qi leaned forward tremblingly, his face already covered with cold sweat. Facing Xie Tingwen's questioning, he could hardly say a word.

The people watching outside the hall were now 70% sure that there was probably something wrong with Han Qi's identity.

Zhang Yuan was also worried, and felt that the development of this matter was a bit strange. At this moment, he didn't know that the yamen runner he sent out had been detained by Xie Shuting.

The back hall of the county government office.

Xie Shuting looked at the timid Han Qi, stroked the teacup and said with a smile: "If you want to test me, you have to see how capable you are."

Xie Tingwen glanced at the main hall through the screen and said helplessly, "Little sister! This is not good for perjury!"

"Brother, you are wrong. If Zhang Yuan had not been so clever as to bribe Han Lizheng, we would not have known that he was the real Han Qi. If he was Han Qi, this case would be very interesting."

"Crack!~"

Hearing a loud noise in the main hall, Xie Tingwen said angrily, "Han Qi! If you don't tell the truth, I will torture you."

Han Qi could no longer bear the shock, and he saw an inexplicable strange smell filling the main hall.

Soon, an unknown liquid began to flow out from under Han Qi's feet.

Xie Tingwen could not help but frown, his face darkened and he said, "Han Qi! If you don't tell me the truth, I have reason to suspect that you were responsible for the murder of 19 people at Zhang's house."

"No! You are not a commoner, not a commoner." Han Qi denied repeatedly.

He knew that if he was judged to be related to the murder, he would not only be made a scapegoat, but would also be beheaded.

"If it wasn't you, then who was it?" Xie Tingwen asked coldly.

Han Qi's shoulders trembled, his eyes contained a hint of determination. After looking at Zhang Yuan, he angrily slammed into the pillar beside him.

The sudden change caught everyone off guard and they heard a loud "bang". Han Qi collapsed to the ground like a deflated ball.

Seeing Han Qi fall to the ground, the yamen runner nearby hurried forward to check, and after a moment he shook his head at Xie Tingwen.

After silent communication, everyone already knew the result.

Xie Tingwen waved his hand helplessly and said, "Take him away first, and there will be a verdict later."

Two yamen runners rushed forward and carried Han Qi's body outside. Another two yamen runners took a mop and simply cleaned up the filth in the hall.

Xie Tingwen pondered for a moment, then looked at the three people in the hall and said, "Qian Ming! You are the former head of the Household Affairs Office. How did the Zhang family's property come to be adopted by Han Qi?"

"Reporting to you, sir, Han Qi used twenty taels of gold to bribe me, and I took the initiative to collude with the clerk Zhang Yuan to facilitate this."

Qian Ming said this, and immediately bowed and said: "I know I am wrong, please forgive me."

"What a great pardon. You have already dismissed me for taking bribes, and now you are asking me to pardon you. What is the meaning of the Great Song Law?"

"Common people..."

Qian Ming was sobbing uncontrollably. He found it difficult to say the words of defense he wanted to say. He knew that he could not escape death this time.
