Chapter 21
After hearing the order of the county magistrate, six yamen runners came out, and some even moved out of the stool of the stool. Two of them arrived in front of Du Fang and pressed him directly on the stool. Du Fang was panicked and kept shouting for justice.
"No, sir, the grass people dare not tease the adults. Everything is true! sir, the grass people are wronged..."
County Magistrate Lin ignored it and issued an order.
"Call me!"
Du Fang's back and armpits were already cross-stopped by two water and fire sticks, and his feet were also blocked by two water and fire sticks. Two other two stood on both sides of Du Fang, and a yamen runner said coldly.
"You'd better not move around, water and fire are ruthless, and the same is true for water and fire sticks. If you move around, you may break your waist and legs with one stick. That's not going to be lying for a few days!"
Du Fang was so scared that his face was bloodless and did not dare to move around casually, but he still called for injustice and kept looking around.
"Miss He, Miss He—you come out soon—didn't you say that you can tell the county magistrate to understand—"
"Don't make noise!"
A yamen runner shouted angrily, and the water and fire sticks raised in his hand fell heavily.
"Bang~"
"ah--"
"Bang~"
"Ah——Sir, I'm wronged——"
"Bang~"
"ah--"
With just four or five sticks falling, Du Fang could not even scream, leaving only moaning, and kept crying out injustice.
Yi Shuyuan stood outside the court and subconsciously clenched a corner of his clothes, and looked at the woman outside the door behind him, who was also wailing.
"Sir, it's not his business. Can you hear that the little girl is wronged - sir - sir -"
"I am already a lonely ghost. I can't go back to my home and I can't be reborn. I die in this sad place. I'm not willing to do so, ah-"
The woman's screams were shrill and miserable, and the voice was a bit fierce. Yi Shuyuan's scalp became numb. When he turned around, he saw that the woman's pale face became darker and darker, and black blood began to flow out of her seven orifices, and black air filled her body.
Even though he didn't understand anything about this, Yi Shuyuan thought with his toes and knew that he was going to turn into a demon!
"Eight" "Bang~"
"Nine" "Bang~"
The water and fire stick was still falling, and Du Fang had no strength to shout and struggle. In fact, the yamen runners had already started to hold back, but even if they were holding back, it would not be so good.
This water and fire stick is a torment for Du Fang, and for women, but it is also true for Yi Shuyuan.
Originally, Yi Shuyuan was still thinking about whether he could believe the nonsense, but at this moment he truly felt the woman's desperate emotion.
Yi Shuyuan couldn't bear it anymore. It was just a few breaths. It seemed that the nine-shui fire stick was hitting his heart, and he didn't want the woman to become a ghost.
Since no one can see or hear, and you can't enter the court, then I, Yi Shuyuan, come to help you!
Yi Shuyuan was just a little civil servant, with a slight word from the words of the people. It was impossible for him to force the county magistrate to go outside the county government, but he had his own way.
"stop--"
Finally, Yi Shuyuan spoke, his voice clear and loud, suddenly overshadowed the few other sounds in the court late at night, and everyone's attention turned to him.
The county magistrate frowned and looked outside. There was a roofless area between the court and the front. This was also considered an outer hall. At this moment, a figure was standing next to it, which was Yi Shuyuan.
"If I did not admit my mistake, you should be a civil servant who compiled the county annals, right?"
Yi Shuyuan did not walk into the court directly, but walked a few steps out from the edge and bowed to the court.
"It's right down!"
"You can be clear about the crime of disturbing the court!"
Yi Shuyuan took a deep breath and answered the question that he was not asking.
"Sir, I was seriously ill when I was young. After recovering from the illness, I occasionally encountered some strange things, and I also watched ghosts and gods at night..."
Everyone present was slightly surprised when they heard this. Why didn’t this person come to tease the county magistrate?
The county magistrate frowned even more. Compared with Du Fang who was miserable on the ground, Yi Shuyuan was calm and demeanor, and was a member of the county government. He didn't seem to be teasing him specifically, right?
Yi Shuyuan didn't wait for others to ask, but turned around and faced outside the court gate, and his eyes fell directly on the woman in white.
"Girl, if Yi guessed it well, you are the murdered Miss He Xin, right?"
The woman in white, who was already full of hostility, looked shocked, and then immediately became ecstatic. She wanted to take a step but was afraid, and asked in an incredible voice.
"Sir! Can you see me? Can you hear me?"
Yi Shuyuan nodded, and also paid attention to the voice of every word and sentence of the woman.
"I can see and hear. Although I fear ghosts, I can't see evil people at large and will not bear to have any wickedness. I can't bear to have any wrongs and have no place to expose you. I am born and transformed into a ghost in this just and strict manner..."
As Yi Shuyuan finished speaking, many people subconsciously felt a little cold. Many people followed Yi Shuyuan's gaze and looked outside the court, naturally they didn't see anything.
"Mr. Yi, you..."
"Sir - please give it to me for a while!"
Yi Shuyuan also took the initiative to do so. He looked at the court while speaking and looked at the county magistrate. His eyes were clear and bright, and he had righteousness, which made the emperor of a county unable to speak.
Yi Shuyuan looked out of the court again. It was very good. The woman had become much more stable. Let’s look at him next!
"Girl, Yi is a little slight and doesn't have much ability. I'm willing to lend myself to you to help you express your grievances to your heart. The county master will definitely make the decision for you!"
The woman in white was stunned for a moment, and everyone present was stunned for a moment.
"Sir, how can I get you? Do you want to come out to teach me? Sir? Are you not here? Sir——"
But no matter what the woman in white calls, Yi Shuyuan just doesn't go out. Instead, he doesn't go out, but goes step by step towards the court. After arriving at Du Fang, he glances at him, and then looks towards the door behind him.
"Miss, please, and then I will tell you the grievances one by one!"
"Sir--I can't get in the court! Sir--"
The woman in white shouted anxiously. She thought Yi Shuyuan didn't know about this. In a hurry, she took a few steps back and wanted to rush to the door again.
But Yi Shuyuan lowered his head, tried his best to keep his heart calm, adjust his breath, and spoke softly when the woman in white was about to rush to the door.
"grown ups......"
Du Fang forgot the pain for the time being, and the woman in white who was almost at the door was stunned.
This is not Yi Shuyuan's voice, this is the voice of a woman, to be precise, this is He Xin's voice!
This is Yi Shuyuan's plan. He was a civil servant. Although Wu Minggao valued him, it was probably nothing to the county magistrate. It was impossible for him to believe him if he could see ghosts and talk to others. In the eyes of outsiders, he was afraid that he would just see Yi Shuyuan talking to the air.
Therefore, Yi Shuyuan needs a way that everyone can believe immediately.
"It's Miss He! It's Miss He!"
Amid Du Fang's surprise screams, everyone had goose bumps in the court from the county magistrate to the yamen runners.
At this moment, Yi Shuyuan's heart is rising. Even though I am just a storyteller, even if I am afraid of ghosts and monsters, even if I don't have any great skills, I, Yi Shuyuan, still have the ability to help you!
"Sir...the folk girl is He Xin!"
Yi Shuyuan spoke again. If the two words had to be adjusted in a low voice at the beginning, the words were already clear at this moment, just like He Xin's voice.
The county magistrate took a breath of cold air, and a chill rose from his feet to his head, and he felt his scalp numb!
"You, what are your grievances..."
County Magistrate Lin, who had just become full of energy and powerful, didn't have much confidence in speaking at this moment. Even if he was the prince of a county, he would not be afraid of such things as ghosts at night. The masters there could be even more unable to even hold the pen.
Two rows of yamen runners were holding water and fire sticks tightly. If it weren't for the habit of accumulating day by day, they would have the urge to run away. Even the few constables with martial arts who had just arrived outside the hall were cold.
Hearing the county magistrate's voice, Yi Shuyuan knew that he had become halfway. He calmed down and spoke quietly again.
"Please let Mr. Du go first!"
The county magistrate looked at Du Fang who was beaten up and quickly ordered to the left and right.
"No need to be beaten, no need to be beaten, take him down and ask the doctor to treat him!"
Du Fang, who turned around after a few steps, was supported and left in a hurry when the person next to him was busy. Yi Shuyuan, who was slightly lowered his head, also spoke again.
"The girl from Luo County, Wuzhou was originally from Wuzhou. She was captured by the evil merchant from Wuzhou. I would rather die than obey. After being killed by him, she sank the corpse water..."
Speaking of this, Yi Shuyuan's feminine voice paused slightly. These words were said before by Du Fang, and He Xin needed to cooperate later.
"The whole story is here, please listen to me..."
Yi Shuyuan's face slightly faced outward. Girl, it is not convenient for Yi to tell you clearly now, but this code is obvious enough, right? Yi Shuyuan thought so in his heart, hoping that the woman would not need him to make any other hints.
Sure enough, the woman outside the gate was stunned for a moment, then immediately reacted and immediately spoke in the direction of the hall.
"The little woman was originally the daughter of a bamboo craftsman in Luo County, Wuzhou. She ranks third in her family, and there is..."
"The little woman was originally the daughter of a bamboo craftsman in Luo County, Wuzhou..."
The woman in white said something, and Yi Shuyuan immediately spoke, his voice and tone were almost exactly the same.
As the woman in white seemed to have forgotten to pass the message, she became more and more emotional, and her sadness was already crying.
Yi Shuyuan's voice was not lost at all, and he was also sad and loud. Although he turned his back to the woman, his posture was somewhat similar.
In the county government hall, most people who were afraid of were gradually attracted by the incident itself as Yi Shuyuan's narration, and their anger gradually arose!
