Chapter 320: The County Magistrate (Part 2)

The onlookers looked surprised and told the county that Shuntian Prefecture had really brought the magistrate.

In the Ming Dynasty, the case of civil servants suing officials only appeared in Hongwu year. I have only heard of it all the time, and I have seen it today!

No matter what the result is, if you can witness this case with your own eyes, you will be whispered after you go back and have a topic of conversation for the rest of your life.

Under the leadership of the officers, the magistrate Wang Ying slowly walked into the lobby.

He was too lazy to even look at the so-called "plaintiffs", but walked straight by them and saluted: "Secretary of Changping, Wang Ying, pay homage to the prefect!"

Wu Zhide asked: "Minister Wang, do you know why our mansion called you to come overnight?"

Wang Ying shook his head gently and said, "I don't know."

Wu Zhide said again: "There are 15 people including Xie Jin and others who jointly sue you for unfairness in the case and falsely accusing Liu San of Wangjiazhuang. Is this a matter?"

Wang Ying suddenly smiled, and saw him glance at Xie Jin and others contemptuously, and said, "The case of Liu San in Wangjiazhuang was tried by the officials. Liu San died of his relatives, but he framed others with an intention to extort money. The evidence in this case is conclusive, and it is unfair to say that the case is determined. Where should I start?"

Seeing the smug smile on his face, Xie Jin couldn't help but say loudly: "I'm saying that it's clear that you took Wang Shichang's benefits and framed Liu San with him!"

"That's right, Liu San's sister and I were both killed by Wang Shichang, and this matter has spread long ago."

"Liu San's trip to sea this time, he had distributed a total of 500 taels of silver. How could he blackmail others?"

"Everyone says you and Wang Shichang are our own family. If this case is fair, that would be strange!"

Seeing the crew members say something and say something, I feel extremely excited, but Wang Ying’s mouth shows a smile.

Even if you have gone out of the sea and seen the world, so what?

At the end of the day, it was still a bunch of mud legs. What should I fight with?

Sure enough, Wu Zhide slapped the exclamation again and said angrily: "I have said that we only send representatives to speak. Others are waiting aside for the time being, without asking questions, and are not allowed to speak! If you hear someone making noise again, you will immediately drive out of the lobby!"

Xie Jin had no choice but to say, "Yes, we are just based on the instructions of the prefect!"

Wu Zhide then continued to investigate the case: "I have heard what you said just now. Xie Jin, do you say that Wang Magistrate took Wang Shichang's benefits, but is there any evidence?"

Xie Jin was stunned for a moment, and then said, "It must be him..."

Bang!

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by a canopy.

"It must be true, it must be true, you said yes? I asked you again, is there any evidence?"

Xie Jin looked distressed and had to say, "For the time being... no!"

Wu Zhide continued: "Okay, someone said just now that Liu San's girl and I were both killed by Wang Shichang. Is there any evidence for this matter?"

"This... all the villagers of Wangjiazhuang know about this."

"Yeah?"

Wu Zhide sneered and said, "The file I saw in this mansion was testified by 13 villagers from Wangjiazhuang. The death of Liu San and my mother has nothing to do with Wang Shichang!"

"Sir, there must be a problem with this. They must be... they must be..."

When Xie Jin said this, his voice became lower and lower.

Wu Zhide showed a playful smile on his face and said, "That's there no evidence?"

Xie Jin looked very depressed and said, "No..."

"I seem to have heard someone say that the county magistrate Wang and the gentry Wang Shichang are our family. You suspect that they have a close relationship and collusion with each other, right?"

Xie Jin seemed to see hope, nodded repeatedly and said, "This matter is true. The prefect can check it out!"

"All nonsense!"

Wu Zhide suddenly lowered his face and said angrily: "Minister Wang is from Linfen, Shanxi Province. He was in the tenth year of Zhengtong Palace Examination. He was appointed as the magistrate of Jinshi by the emperor and appointed as the magistrate of Changping. It has nothing to do with Wangjia Village. You have such a frame-up of the imperial court officials. Do you still have my laws in the Ming Dynasty in your eyes?"

Xie Jin's face was pale and murmured: "No, no, it's not like this..."

Bang!

Wu Zhide slapped the hawk again and said, "Xie Jin, do you know your guilt?"

Xie Jin didn't know what to do. They came to complain to stand up for Liu San, but unexpectedly, they ended up in this situation.

All the rumors are not true, or there is no evidence, what should I do?

Wu Zhide slowly turned around, looked at Peng Qing, and said with a smile: "Mr. Peng, do you think the officials are in compliance with the rules during the trial of this case?"

Peng Qing's face looked extremely ugly. He rolled up his sleeves and was about to speak, but he saw Wu Zhide subconsciously retreating.

"Mr. Peng, this is the lobby of Shuntian Mansion. Everyone is watching. People who have to watch outside the hall, you... don't do anything random!"

Peng Qing sighed and said, "I'm careless!"

Wu Zhide was puzzled and asked, "What's the point?"

"I didn't expect that you were well prepared. It would be difficult for the people to sue the officials after all!"

He was inspired by these words. If officials joined forces, ordinary people would not have the strength to compete with them.

Think about it, who are the people who can become officials?

The imperial examinations were held every three years in the Ming Dynasty, and the students across the country ended in the end. There were only 300 places on the list. In such a competitive environment, all the people who could be left behind were the human spirits.

Just talking about this case, Peng Qing has also conducted some investigations. Whether it is Liu San's personality or the clues provided by insiders, it is enough to prove that the murderer is Wang Shichang.

However, he used means, perhaps by bribery or coercion, and could actually let the villagers make fake certificates.

The key to the problem is this. You know that there is something wrong with these testimonies, but you have no evidence!

The most important thing in the case trial is to talk about evidence. Shuntian Mansion uses evidence to speak, which is understandable.

As for Wang Ying, as the magistrate, how could he not know what Wang Shichang did?

Even all of this may be his advice behind the scenes.

The current situation is that the magistrate and the murderer are in a mess. The prefect said that I only look at the evidence, so that Liu San can only die in vain!

Peng Qing was helpless. He thought things too simple.

With Xie Jin and others, they can't fight with others at all.

When the case is over, not only will Liu San die, but he will also be settled by the fallen account.

By then, the title of Grand Secretary of the Cabinet will definitely not be guaranteed.

He was not worried about these false reputations, but felt a little sorry for the emperor.

The emperor trusted himself so much, but in the end he got rid of the matter...
