Conan's physique? The Crown Princess is involved in a murder case again

"……Oh shit!"

Xu Xingyin cursed He Zhi in his heart, but he also knew that he couldn't offend this guy at the moment, otherwise, given his current condition, he would not be able to leave the yamen safely.

He Zhi has martial arts skills, so if he can't clear his name, he can just turn around and leave. Who else in this yamen can catch him?

Now that he is gone, I, as his accomplice, will be in trouble.

Therefore, she only has one way left -

To clear the injustice for himself and He Zhi.

Only in this way can she get out alive.

After realizing this, Xu Xingyin calmed down and asked back.

"May I ask, sir, can an oil lamp and two gauze curtains cause such a big fire?"

As Xu Xingyin followed the officials, he did not forget to observe the situation of the inn.

The fire was so huge that half of the building was burned black.

There is no way an oil lamp could burn like this in such a short time, unless someone added something to help with combustion in the inn ahead of time!

It is common sense that an oil lamp does not have such great power.

Xu Xingyin knew it, and so did everyone else present.

The county magistrate frowned and said, "An oil lamp is indeed not enough, but this does not prove that you are not the arsonist."

"Don't worry, sir." Xu Xingyin smiled faintly, "This is just one of the doubts. There are many other doubts."

"I think you are a clever talker, trying to deceive people and get away with it!"

"Your Excellency's words are biased. I'm sure everyone has seen Mr. He's martial arts just now. To put it bluntly, if he resists, who here can take him down? If we really killed someone, we could just ignore the soldiers and run away. Why come here to suffer such injustice!"

Xu Xingyin's words were quite impolite.

But the people outside thought it made a lot of sense and stopped cursing the two loudly as they had done before.

The county magistrate did not think so. He just felt that his old face was too embarrassed and turned red.

"How can we allow a suspect like you to act so recklessly in this court?"

"Who said we were suspects?"

After Xu Xingyin refuted, he stood up straight and said calmly: "We are the victims. We are here to sue this black shop today!"

He Zhi, who had been watching the show for a long time, curled his lips slightly when he heard this. He never thought that Xu Xingyin was so interesting.

In this way, they turned from perpetrators to victims, fundamentally reversing the previous downward trend.

Thinking of this, He Zhi completely gave up the idea of ​​arguing and watched Xu Xingyin's "debate with the scholars" with great interest.

The county magistrate had never seen someone as shameless and confusing right and wrong as Xu Xingyin, and he was unable to respond for a moment.

Xu Xingyin took advantage of the opportunity and continued to ask questions about his doubts.

"The fire was only one reason. Second, Meng just said that she had been searching for a long time on the second floor, but the Tianzi Room was the fourth room up the stairs. Why did Meng go to such great lengths to search for the Tianzi Room, where Xue Niang had delivered the meal? Or did she go upstairs in a hurry because she hadn't seen Xue Niang succeed in her business for a long time?"

Although the county magistrate was displeased with Xu Xingyin, who spoke harshly, he could still be considered a good official.

After hearing what she said, he became doubtful and turned to ask Meng.

"Mrs. Meng, do you have any explanation for this matter?"

Meng looked a little flustered, and was stunned for a moment before replying:

"To answer your question, how could I remember all the ladies of the inn? It was only after I looked around that I remembered that this person lived in the Tianzi room."

He Zhi sneered and said sarcastically: "You don't remember where I lived, but you remember that I was generous and said it wasn't a shady shop?"

If you can speak, speak more!

Xu Xingyin had expectations for He Zhi, but He Zhi just made a complaint and stopped talking.

The only voice in the room was Meng's shouting "unfair". Helplessly, Xu Xingyin had to continue going.

"Third, as a mother, when Mrs. Meng learned that her daughter was insulted, her first reaction was not to help her daughter escape, but to report the case to the county government. Is this reasonable?"

There were also mothers among the people outside, and they all nodded frequently when they heard this.

If my child is hurt, I will go and stop it even if it costs my life!

Meng explained, "His martial arts skills are so high, how can a woman like me defeat him? The government office is nearby. If I go to get help, Xue Niang still has a chance of survival. Otherwise, I'm afraid neither mother nor daughter will survive!"

"Okay, I'll believe this for now."

Xu Xingyin did not comment. "Fourth, I wonder if everyone remembers that after Meng broke into the room, although she lay beside Xue Niang, her eyes were all on He Zhi."

The officer standing by had some recollection of this incident and nodded and asked back.

"so what?"

"This shows that her target is not Xue Niang at all, but He Zhi."

Meng argued loudly: "He killed my daughter, can't I even watch him?"

"Of course I saw it, but your look at that time was not hatred, but a determination to win, and..."

Xu Xingyin paused and turned his gaze back to Meng. "Someone accused me of burning down the inn. You seemed surprised?"

"I just didn't expect that he actually had an accomplice!"

"Really? I thought it was you who set fire to the inn and planned to frame He Zhi, but I messed up the plan."

"He killed the man, and you set the fire. I didn't lie about either of these two points!"

Meng was defeated by Xu Xingyin's words. She didn't care that she was still in the court. She suddenly stood up and knelt down in front of the people outside, crying and sobbing.

"My fellow villagers, I'm sure you all have seen it!

These two have plenty of money and are well-read. When it comes to eloquence, I definitely can't compare to them!

They colluded with each other to confuse right and wrong. If they could clear themselves of this crime, they could continue to enjoy a life of luxury.

But what about Xue Niang? What about the guests who were killed or injured in the inn? How innocent they were!

Are we going to be bullied by these rich and powerful people just because we are honest and decent? Is there any justice in this world? "

Meng's remarks were apparently about the case, but in reality they were stirring up the people's disgust towards the powerful and wealthy businessmen.

And this innate aversion and hatred, once ignited, will become the best public opinion to help the Meng family fight against them!

At that time, even under pressure from the people, the county magistrate had to stand on the side of the Meng family.

Xu Xingyin immediately understood that this Meng was not easy to deal with.

As expected, as soon as Meng finished speaking, voices of support came from outside.

"Mrs. Meng has been in Pingcheng for so many years, and Mrs. Xue has grown up under our watch. They are all honest people, so how could they frame others?"

"That's right! Poor Xueniang lost her life without even her husband's approval. The county magistrate must give us an explanation!"

"Punish the murderer severely! Clear Xue Niang's name!"
