Go to ancient times to catch fast

Seeing that, Chu Xiaoyun couldn't ask anything, so he said to the county magistrate, "My lord, let's go back and have a look."

The county magistrate also agreed.

A group of people were about to return to the embankment where the corpses were dumped. Before leaving, Chu Xiaoyun caught a glimpse of the cowshed out of the corner of his eye, and stepped forward to have a look.A guard shouted behind him: "What are you doing, you. Don't walk around!"

The county magistrate made a stop gesture and walked over.

Chu Xiaoyun looked back at the other people who were far away, pointed to a clearly visible footprint on the ground next to the cow pen that was soaked in cow urine and softened, and said to the county magistrate: "My lord, look at this footprint."

The county magistrate glanced at the footprints: "One footprint doesn't mean anything."

Chu Xiaoyun said: "Can the footprints explain anything? Should I ask first?"

As he spoke, he glanced at the young man not far away.

The county magistrate smiled slightly: "If you don't believe me, just ask."

Chu Xiaoyun was silent for a moment, and understood: "Your Excellency is right. Then Xiaomin dare to say more, and the person whom your Excellency sends to arrest must choose carefully."

Judging from the current situation and the other party's own attitude, it is hard to say that the government's arrest is reliable.When encountering such a situation in modern society, the local police force is generally not allowed to be responsible, but the armed police who have nothing to do with the local area will be dispatched.I don't know if the county magistrates had armed forces similar to the modern armed police in ancient times and in the Dacheng Dynasty.

The county magistrate looked at Chu Xiaoyun, his eyes full of suspicion: "It's hard for the county to believe that you were a scoundrel in the past. Aren't you going to tell the county who you are?"

Chu Xiaoyun was in a bit of a dilemma. He couldn't tell the county magistrate that he had traveled from the future society.The county magistrate may not believe it, and he may think that he is supernatural or something.In an unknown society, self-protection is always the most important thing.

Chu Xiaoyun scratched his head: "My lord, you can also understand that people will change when they have a family. Such a beautiful daughter-in-law, I want to live a good life. Otherwise, I won't sell the land and redeem her. "

There is no other way, now I can only pull Su Wen out as a shield, and apologize after getting off the hook.

The county magistrate looked at Chu Xiaoyun and smiled: "I just redeemed him the day before yesterday. Yesterday it was said that you were busy all day, so you should not be married yet, right? Catch the real culprit as you said, and wait until the day you get married. Forgot to tell the official, I will witness the marriage for you."

"Huh?" Chu Xiaoyun didn't expect the county magistrate to come out like this.

The county magistrate looked at Chu Xiaoyun: "Why, can't you deceive me?"

Chu Xiaoyun thought about his own freedom, forced a smile and said, "How could it be. You are overthinking, my lord."

The county magistrate nodded in satisfaction: "That's good."

Then he asked: "Do you still need to go back to the scene to see it?"

Chu Xiaoyun said: "No need, just go back."

The two turned around and walked back to the middle of the yard. Chu Xiaoyun said to the young man, "When you found the cow running away last night, did you find anyone or something strange?"

The young man shook his head: "No. I heard the yelp of the ox, so I put on my clothes and came out. I saw the ox running towards the embankment, so I chased it. I didn't find anyone suspicious."

Chu Xiaoyun nodded: "If you think of anything in the future, don't forget to tell me, or tell the adults."

The young man nodded.

Chu Xiaoyun said to the county magistrate, "My lord, I have no problem."

The county magistrate nodded and said to the master: "Go back to the mansion!"

The master said loudly: "My lord, go back to the house!"

Back in the mansion, it was already evening.Chu Xiaoyun was escorted back to the prison again.The real culprit has not been brought to justice, and he still has to live in this prison for a while.However, according to his observation, judging from the county magistrate's attitude towards him, he should believe that he is innocent, and he is not on the same side as the Zhang family.Chu Xiaoyun felt relieved and lay down on the small bed covered with torn quilts.

Before that, I was nervous and highly concentrated. I only thought about the case, and only wanted to get rid of the crime.Now that he is free, Chu Xiaoyun thinks of Su Wen unconsciously, wondering what he is doing now.The yard left by the original owner is far away from other people's homes. Will he be afraid when he is alone at home?When I earn money in the future, I must heighten and strengthen the courtyard wall and make the courtyard gate well.Make a safe home.

Thinking of this, Chu Yunxi came to his senses and scolded himself again. By then, Su Wen might have left long ago, and now he stayed only because of his kindness.Su Wen is now free. With his appearance and character, there must be many people who are willing to marry him.Given a choice, who would want to live with a notorious gangster?

Thinking of this, Chu Xiaoyun's original joy of getting Xue because of the unjust case suddenly sank down again.In less than two days, I actually developed feelings of reluctance for a Shuang'er who is closer to a man in every aspect, which is really interesting.Chu Xiaoyun suddenly remembered what the county magistrate said at the cattle herder's house during the day, and his emotions suddenly rose again.The county magistrate said he would marry him, otherwise it would be deception.Maybe Su Wen has to stay and help him act.

Thinking of this, the haze in Chu Xiaoyun's heart seemed to dissipate again.

At this time, he heard someone in the guard office seem to be chanting the legal provisions: "...Disrespecting the magistrate; openly insulting and beating others in the court; disturbing the order of the court; roaring in the court are all crimes of contempt of the court:..."

Someone laughed and said, "What's the use of reading this? Do you still want to take the imperial examination? Go to sleep."

……

"Unexpectedly, there are so many crimes in the court. But it's always good to have a dream, and it doesn't have to be realized." Chu Xiaoyun sighed, and fell asleep following the conversation between the two.

In the early morning of the second day, people from the Zhang family came to beat the drums.After the county magistrate was promoted to the hall, there was a sound of "Wei-wu-".The county magistrate asked: "Who is in the hall, and what is the so-called drumming?"

Pei Jindao: "My son died unjustly, and now the scene has been inspected, I wonder if we can let that villain Chu Xiaoyun pay for his blood?"

After the county magistrate announced the situation of the on-site inspection the day before yesterday, he said: "There are still many doubts in this case. Not all suspects have been brought to justice, so it is impossible to make a verdict. The court trial has already said that if there is any progress in the case, the county will send people to notify it. Now we have not waited. My official told me, why did you wait so eagerly to beat the drums and disturb the court?"

Seeing this, Zhang Cheng's wife hurriedly changed her words: "My lord, please forgive me. It's just because of the misfortune that happened to my husband, the entire Zhang family is immersed in grief. As the mistress, my family also wants to do justice to my husband, and I hope you will forgive me."

The county magistrate said: "That's all right, let's go back first, and wait for all the suspects to arrive."

Zhang Cheng's wife said: "There is still something hidden in the husband's case. The murderer cannot be punished. We can understand it. However, Chu Xiaoyun's crime of contempt of the court yesterday is undeniable. Your lord is also a witness. There should be nothing to dispute about this."

The county magistrate said: "That's the case. Then the punishment will be carried out today! Someone, hurry up and bring the suspect Chu Xiaoyun to the jail."

The yamen servant took the order and left.

After the yamen servant left, Mrs. Zhang cried again in court.When the yamen servant came to Chu Xiaoyun, Zhang Cheng's wife stepped forward and said, "Although your eloquent tongue can't fix you now after my husband's death, your crime of contempt of the court is undeniable."

The conversation he heard before going to sleep last night flashed through Chu Xiaoyun's mind, and he said, "My lord, if my words and deeds were inappropriate yesterday, I would like to be punished by law. However, it is a crime to despise the court, and it is also a crime to yell at the court. Xiao The people hereby sue Director Pei for the crime of yelling at the court yesterday."

People in the Zhang family did not expect that Chu Xiaoyun would accuse Pei Jin of yelling at the court.

"You're talking nonsense, messing around!" Zhang Cheng's wife was so angry that she almost poked Chu Xiaoyun's face with her fingers.

"Boss Pei roared at the court yesterday, but the county magistrate was watching." Chu Xiaoyun did not back down, "If you stretch your finger forward, you are still contemptuous of the court."

The county magistrate agreed: "Beating people in the hall, despising the official, and despising the court are crimes and should be punished; howling in the hall, disregarding decency, and roaring in the court are also crimes. Both should be punished according to the law. The two crimes are equivalent, and killing everywhere Ten times, Chu Xiaoyun will be responsible for the expenses of Pei Jin's healing. Come here, take him down, and serve him with a killing stick!"

Hearing this verdict, the people in the Zhang residence were dumbfounded.Hitting Chu Xiaoyun ten times and including his own people, this kind of loss-making business must not be done.Zhang Cheng's wife immediately pleaded for mercy and begged the county magistrate to forgive him.

The county magistrate thought for a while: "Why don't you two discuss it and see if there is any compromise."

Chu Xiaoyun said: "My lord, for violating the law, Xiaomin is willing to be punished. But Xiaomin has no money to pay, can two more beatings pay off the compensation?"

The Zhang family almost fainted when they heard the words.

The family didn't want to be beaten, so they said angrily: "The punishment is offset, and Chu Xiaoyun only needs to pay the diagnosis fee."

One just wants to be beaten without paying: "Master, the villain's property has been sold out, and now he is penniless, so he really can't pay, so beat me. I don't want to offset the punishment with Manager Pei, each beat his own, little The people are willing to punish."

The two sides were at a stalemate for a while.It was impossible for Pei Jin to be subjected to the ten sticks of death. After discussion, both parties were punished to offset the penalty, and the compensation that Chu Xiaoyun originally wanted to pay to Pei Jin was also eliminated, so it was considered a reconciliation.

Seeing the reconciliation between the two parties, the county magistrate announced his withdrawal from court.

When being escorted back to the prison by the yamen servants, he met the county magistrate who stopped there in the back garden, Chu Xiaoyun said: "Xiaomin thank you for your kindness."

The county magistrate smiled: "You are the one who is familiar with the law code, what has it to do with this county?"

Chu Xiaoyun clasped his fists and said, "In the future, if my lord is useful to Xiaomin, Chu will definitely not shirk it."

The county magistrate smiled: "I thought you would say that you will die."

Chu Xiaoyun also laughed.
