Seeing this, Yuan Bin explained: "Prefect Jia, don't worry too much. This Ma Liu committed a murder on the street yesterday and was captured by Jin Yiwei. He took the initiative to confess something, which happened to be related to today's case. Isn't it a coincidence?"

Jia Kun nodded dullly and said, "Yes, what a coincidence!"

Two royal guards in brocade uniforms escorted Ma Liu to the hall. When Sun Rulan saw this, she pounced on him.

"Repay my father's life!"

Snap!

Jia Kun knocked on the gavel again and said: "No noise in the courtroom!"

At the same time, a school captain grabbed Sun Rulan and pulled her aside.

Jia Kun looked at Ma Liu and found that the man was covered in blood, but there was no blood on his face.

Needless to say, he must have been tortured by Jin Yiwei.

Speaking of taking the initiative to confess, is there anyone who would not take the initiative under the torture of Jin Yiwei?

"Is your Majesty Ma Liu?"

Ma Liu weakly replied: "Yes, yes..."

"I want to ask you, did you kill Lao Suntou of Tofu Shop in the east of the city?"

"yes……"

"Well, you will tell the story of the murder. I am warning you that human life is at stake. You should think about it before you speak!"

Ma Liu's body was very weak. He gasped for air and said, "He was beaten to death with bricks."

"Why did you smash Lao Sun's head to death?"

"Yes, it was...the Liu family...instigated it!"

"Which Liu family, please explain clearly!"

"It's Liu Sanjiang from the east of the city... Mr. Liu, the chief steward of Liu Mansion... came to me..."

Jia Kun's eyes were lowered. He had already understood clearly that the Jin Yiwei was here for the Liu family.

Maybe they were the ones who came to Sun Rulan and persuaded her to file a complaint.

Otherwise, how could she have such courage?

However, why didn't Jin Yiwei directly investigate the case, but asked for Ying Tianfu's help?

In just a few breaths, he had already gone through everything he had done in his mind.

In general, since I became the prefect of Yingtian, although I am more partial to the local gentry, I have not done anything extraordinary.

Why on earth is Jin Yiwei...

"Prefect Jia!"

"ah?"

Jia Kun came to his senses and asked quickly: "What are the orders from Commander Yuan?"

Yuan Bin pointed at Ma Liu in the audience and said, "Ma Liu has confessed, what should we do next?"

"Next...if what Ma Liu said is true, Butler Liu should be summoned to appear in court."

"Then pass it on!"

"But... there is no strong evidence now. If we rely solely on Ma Liu's words, we will directly summon Butler Liu to appear in court, fearing that it will be inconsistent with the law."

Yuan Bin pointed at Ma Liu and said: "Prefect Jia may have made a mistake. Now Sun Rulan is the plaintiff, Ma Liu is the witness, and his words are testimony."

Jia Kun thought for a while and said: "Ma Liu's confession lacks effective supporting evidence. I believe that further evidence needs to be found..."

Yuan Bin waved his hand to interrupt him and said: "The key figures in this case are the Liu family. If Magistrate Jia wants to find evidence, he should start from the Liu family. Not only the housekeeper of the Liu family should be informed, but Liu Sanjiang himself should also be present."

"Oh well!"

Jia Kun knew that today's incident would definitely not be avoided.

"Come here, tell Liu Sanjiang to come to court!"

"yes!"

The two officers took the order and hurried to Liu's house to deliver the message.

Jia Kun took this time to ask some more details about Ma Liu's murder, and it turned out to be exactly what Sun Rulan said.

He already knew very well that this case was committed by the Liu family.

Now, how to deal with the Liu family has become a difficult problem before him.

If he continues to favor the Liu family, Jin Yiwei is not a free man, and he might be implicated in it.

However, if you openly oppose the Liu family, the consequences will be serious.

Liu Sanjiang was once the Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Civil Affairs in Nanjing. Although he had become a scholar and still had many connections, the power behind him should not be underestimated.

What's more, in this case, the Liu family is not just the Liu family, but also represents the entire Jiangnan gentry.

To overthrow the Liu family would mean being at odds with the Jiangnan gentry.

Two glasses of poisonous wine, no matter what you choose, you will die.

The only difference is that if you choose the Liu family, you will be poisoned and die immediately.

Choosing Jinyiwei is a chronic poison, and you will die slowly.

If I had to choose, I'm afraid I would have to choose the latter.

"master!"

The two officers left and came back, panting and saying: "The Liu family refuses to go to court!"

Jia Kun's face turned dark immediately. He was still thinking about whether he should continue to protect the Liu family, but he didn't know that others didn't take him as the prefect seriously.

Even if the officials protect each other, at least you can send someone to stand trial and let's go through the process!

It's okay now, just refuse it directly.

Since you don't take me seriously, don't blame me for being ruthless.

"Where is the squad leader?"

"exist!"

"If you take someone to the Liu family, tell the government to investigate the case and summon Liu Sanjiang to stand trial. If the Liu family refuses to cooperate, they will be kidnapped directly!"

"yes!"

This time, the squad leader led ten people and attacked the Liu family with great force.

However, after only two quarters of an hour, he returned home defeated.

Not only was no one brought him, he was also beaten.

Especially the class leader, who was carried back.

Jia Kun was completely angry, and the Liu family had gone too far.

"Commander Yuan, you have seen that the Liu family does not obey the orders of the government and has no laws. Please ask the Jin Yiwei for help!"

Yuan Bin looked very embarrassed and said: "Logically speaking, it is inconvenient for me to interfere in local affairs, but...since Magistrate Jia has spoken, let's make an exception!"

Jia Kun was secretly scornful in his heart, but he said: "I would like to thank Commander Yuan!"

That day, the Liu Mansion was surrounded by water, and there were voices everywhere crying for father and mother.

The people watching the excitement around were whispering, looking at this situation, is their home being ransacked?

The Liu family usually bullies men and dominates women and does many unscrupulous things. It seems that they have received retribution.

Soon, the Jin Yiwei escorted the people out one by one. Some of them were still trying to resist, but after being beaten, they quickly became obedient.

When the people saw this, they excitedly picked up rotten vegetable leaves and threw them at them.

Among the crowd, Jia Kun and Yuan Bin, dressed in casual clothes, quietly stepped aside.

"Commander Yuan, please tell me directly. Why must Ying Tianfu handle this case?"

Yuan Bin pointed at the reveling people and asked, "Did you see it?"

Jia Kun asked in confusion: "Did you see...what?"
