After the evil daughter-in-law was crossed, the disabled villain was redeemed

Nanzhi brought the yamen runners to the mountain and showed them the measures she had taken:

There was a warning sign with two rows of large characters and two circles of bamboo fences.

Lin Jiu looked at the warning sign and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Doctor Nan, with this, at least we can prove that what you planted were medicinal herbs, and that you had already given warnings and had no intention of harming anyone!"

Nanzhi nodded, feeling a little relieved.

After waiting for Lin Jiu to send someone to remove the warning sign and collect evidence, the group set out for the town.

Nanzhi was anxious all the way, but when he arrived at the county government office, he felt calm.

When he entered the court, he saw an old woman kneeling down in the hall.

However, the one sitting high in the court was not the County Magistrate Guan...

When the county magistrate saw that Nanzhi refused to kneel, he slammed the gavel.

"Who is this person? Since you are in court, why don't you kneel?"

Nanzhi clenched his fists. Although he didn't want to kneel, he was still living in ancient times and could only follow the local customs.

"Nanzhi is the wife of Yuan Mo, the head of the mountain household. I am also the one who takes care of that piece of land."

The county magistrate chuckled when he heard this:

"Oh? In that case, you are the one who murdered Zhang Wang's son?"

After hearing this, the old woman kneeling on the ground was about to pounce on Nanzhi, but was held down by Lin Jiu who was following behind Nanzhi.

"It's you who killed my children and grandchildren! It's you! You little bitch, give me back my son's life!"

Nanzhi, however, frowned and refused to plead guilty!

"Why do you say that, sir? Why do you hastily convict without a trial?"

The county magistrate raised his eyebrows and looked at Nanzhi sinisterly.

"Foolish woman, how dare you slander me?"

Nanzhi clenched his fists, feeling very dissatisfied.

"Your Excellency did not verify her testimony, nor did you ask me if I had any rebuttal. Isn't it rash to convict her?"

The county magistrate was a little surprised. He didn't expect that this woman, although dressed in ordinary clothes, had extraordinary conversation and clear logic!

But so what?

Once we go to court, he will have the final say on life and death!

A slam of the gavel, being unreasonable, bullying others by taking advantage of one's power -

"Framing an official, I think you are tired of living! Come on, teach me the rules of court!"

Lin Jiuwen, who was holding the old woman, was shocked and knelt down to beg for mercy.

"Please calm down, sir! I have evidence to report. I'm afraid there is something else going on in this case..."

"Lin Jiu? You are biased in court. I have reason to suspect that you are having an affair with this peasant woman!"

"grown ups!"

Lin Jiu clenched his fists tightly, his eyes turned red with hatred.

The county magistrate, however, did not care at all. He wrote down the punishment and threw down the punishment card:

"Two people will be punished together - twenty strokes of the cane each!"

Nanzhi was so angry at this man that she quietly grasped a handful of powder in her hand.

If you want to touch her, you have to suffer a little first!

She was so angry that she forgot about her worries and only thought about...

We can’t let ourselves be bullied by corrupt officials for no reason!

However, as soon as the voice fell, a chuckle came from outside the hall.

Then, the bailiffs on both sides of the court knelt down and saluted.

The county magistrate, who had been sitting casually in the hall, also hurried over.

"Mr. County Magistrate, how could I have disturbed you at this late hour?"

County Magistrate Guan ignored him and walked straight towards Nanzhi.

"Divine Doctor Nan, I have yet to thank you in person for saving my life!"

Nanzhi was surprised for a moment, looked back, and felt inexplicably relieved.

The evil county magistrate, who had been so arrogant just now, was stunned where he stood, not being able to understand the situation for a moment.

Then I heard Nanzhi respond calmly:

"It is the duty of doctors to cure diseases and save lives. County Magistrate Guan does not need to worry about it."

Upon hearing this, County Magistrate Guan lifted Nanzhi up with both hands and smiled heartily.

"Nan Shen Doctor is kindhearted. Please take a look at how I am recovering."

"County Magistrate Guan is an honest official. God will bless him. Your health...has recovered very well."

Nanzhi took a quick look at him and spoke politely.

County Magistrate Guan nodded and sat on the main seat in the court.

Glancing at the county magistrate who was still dumbfounded, he said:

"Dr. Nan saved my life, so I shouldn't be worshipped by him, and I should avoid suspicion. So..."

County Magistrate Guan lowered his thick eyebrows, his eyes smiling with deep meaning.

"The case will continue to be heard by the county magistrate."

The county magistrate wiped the sweat from his forehead in panic, glanced at the unfriendly-looking Guan County Magistrate, and thought guiltily.

No wonder this woman is so good at talking, she is actually a female doctor, and she also saved the county magistrate...

Tsk, what should I do?

Because today's case was a serious one involving two lives, he was greedy for credit and did not report it.

He originally wanted to find someone at random to convict him of murder and claim the credit and reward.

But unexpectedly, the conspiracy fell on the head of County Magistrate Guan's savior!

And now County Magistrate Guan has handed the case over to him for trial. Isn't this a blatant test?

Right now, it's not right to convict this case, nor is it right not to convict...

County Magistrate Gousui swallowed his saliva, looked at Nanzhi in the hall, then looked at County Magistrate Guan, and felt as if he was being put on the fire.

He wiped the sweat off his face repeatedly and tried to find an excuse to throw this hot potato back, but was suppressed by County Magistrate Guan.

"Just focus on the case, County Magistrate. Don't worry about me. I believe that Dr. Nan will not hurt anyone."

After hearing this, what could the county magistrate not understand?

I had no choice but to sit aside.

When the old woman in the hall heard the words, she started crying and wailing again.

"My three-year-old grandson... my son who is in the prime of his life... please, Lord of Heaven, make the decision for me!"

The county magistrate was sweating profusely because of her crying.

He took the gavel tremblingly, slammed it, and shouted bravely:

"Silence in the hall!"

"mighty--"

The water and fire sticks on the left and right shook the ground simultaneously.

The old woman finally stopped crying.

He just glared at Nanzhi fiercely.

The county magistrate glanced back at County Magistrate Guan and cleared his throat.

"Well, is the person in the hall Yuan Mo's wife Yuan Nan?"

Nanzhi lowered his brows and nodded, his voice stern.

"My name is Nanzhi."

The county magistrate swallowed guiltily and pointed at the old woman in the hall.

"Ms. Zhang Wang sued you for planting poisonous weeds and harming her children and grandchildren. Do you have anything to say in rebuttal?"

"I have."

Nanzhi glared at the county magistrate with resentment.

A soft and clear voice echoed in the court, neither humble nor arrogant.

"The herbs were planted on my own mountain land. I have evidence to prove that I warned them not to pick them. It was this peasant woman who stole my herbs worth hundreds of gold coins. But she filed a complaint first and turned the tables on me!"

Nanzhi glared at the county magistrate, spoke harshly and was slightly annoyed.

The county magistrate kept wiping his cold sweat and secretly glanced at the county magistrate Guan.

I was afraid that Nanzhi would say something she shouldn’t.

When the old woman saw that the county magistrate remained silent, she slapped the ground and cried and denied:

"Can anyone tell me what that 'herb' is? If I knew that vegetable was poisonous, how could I give it to my grandson to eat?"

"Zhang Wangshi, it's not your turn to speak yet, keep quiet!"

The county magistrate scolded him, and then asked Nanzhi in a flattering manner:

"You say you have evidence, but where is it?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Jiu hurriedly stood up and ordered his men to present the evidence in the court.

The county magistrate looked at it and motioned for him to give it to the old woman.

"Ms. Zhang Wang, have you seen this sign at the scene?"

The old woman wiped away her tears and examined it carefully.

"Well... I think so? I don't remember..."

The county magistrate slammed the gavel again and shouted:

"Bold Zhang Wang, since you have seen the warning sign, why did you cook the herbs?"

The old woman was horrified when she heard this and stammered to explain.

"Even if I had seen the wooden sign, I wouldn't have known that the vegetable was poisonous... Lord, you can't be partial..."

"presumptuous!"

The county magistrate shouted angrily, and the old woman instantly lost her temper.

"That wooden sign clearly says 'The herbs are extremely poisonous, do not eat them'. You have seen it but did not know it?"

The old woman then burst into tears.

"I...I can't read..."

When the county magistrate heard this, his eyes rolled.

I thought to myself: In this case, why not just rule it as manslaughter!

Although manslaughter is not as meritorious as murder, it would be a natural way to clear out the Yuannan family!

such……

It will also be easier for County Magistrate Guan to report to his superiors...
