The gate of the county government opened. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Hundreds of people pushed and shoved through the door, and rushed in, blocking the perimeter of the court.

Seeing this scene, Lin Yanchao took a sip of tea. Ningde County is not a big county, the county population is not large, at best there are thousands of people, but hundreds of people poured in at once during the trial, which shows that everyone who knows the news has come.

Lin Yanchao put down the tea bowl and looked from the chair, but saw that they were all simple people in coarse linen clothes, and they squeezed into the main hall one by one despite the obstruction of the officials.

Two rows of soaps hold water and fire sticks to maintain order.

Lin Yanchao knew that the local people had a high or low evaluation of a magistrate, and the word "criminal name" had a large proportion.

The county officials can tolerate the tax apportionment of the common people on weekdays, as long as it is not too excessive. Everyone judges whether he is a clean and good official by the level of case judgment. If the case is judged well, and you are not afraid of the powerful, you can win the name of the sky.

The local magistrate was blamed for the disappearance of the business traveler in the past, but this time he actually caught the real murderer, and the people were boiling.

But not everyone came with the mood to see the case, and there were also those who shouted outside the door.

Lin Yanchao listened twice, thinking that most of them were the family members of the boat households, and these people who were full of evil also had family members, and they refused to accept the fate of their families. Therefore, even if you know that you are a wicked person, you must have sufficient evidence to make him obey the law, so that the justice of the law can be demonstrated.

The people below kept pushing and shoving, and there was a lot of trouble.

Zhixian was a little frightened, and Lin Yanchao reminded when he saw this scene: "Yu Zhixian, if you don't make a decision, it will change later." ”

He is an observer, and he has the responsibility to supervise and remind one or two.

Yu Zhixian was stunned, but heard a snap.

The wooden hall was shocked, and the magistrate shouted: "You don't have to make a noise, whether you are wronged or not, the official has his own decision, and there is a cry under the hall, and all the flail will be displayed to the public." ”

The left and right officials also put water and fire sticks on the ground and shouted. The tumult in the hall stopped.

After a moment of purity, the trappers brought the nineteen prisoners to the hall one by one. Lin Yanchao looked at the past, but there was nothing surprising about the offender, although he looked a little fierce and fierce, but most of the boat people and seafarers were like this. No one is allowed to look by his appearance, nor can he be condemned by his appearance.

Yu Zhixian asked Lin Yanchao: "Champion Gong, can the trial be held?" “

Lin Yanchao nodded.

Immediately, the criminal master handed a manuscript to Yu Zhixian.

Yu Zhixian read: "Since the year of Bingzi, the disappearance of merchants in eastern Guangdong in this county, in six years, there have been a total of 17 cases of disappearance of merchants in this county, and there are 31 cases in Hezhou, and the names of the missing people are 125 in the case, and the number of people who have no owner for thousands of miles is unknown. ”

"After hearing about it in this county, I can't swallow it, I can't sleep at night, I can't make a secret visit, I can't spend several years, I visit my subordinates, and I have a little strategy.

After listening to Yu Zhixian's words, the voices of the people below became louder, and they were all talking to each other.

People all over the world know that the Ming Dynasty has produced a champion of three yuan and the first, not only in Fuzhou, but even in the province, it is also faceless, talking about Lin Yanchao's help to solve the case, the people of this province listened to it, no matter what his ability to judge the case was, they were convinced from the bottom of their hearts.

is the role of fame, of course, if the grievances are revealed, Lin Yanchao will be more famous, and if he loses, then his reputation will be damaged.

The voices of the people were loud, and the magistrate had to be shocked again, and after suppressing the discussion, he began to interrogate.

It is not only a court trial, but also a case of reasoning with facts. The magistrate cannot forcibly convict the guilty, otherwise he will be guilty of a crime.

The catchers will search the ropes, sweat medicine, stuffy incense, and knives from each boat, and the catchers will search the boatman's house, and the clothes, shoes, hats, and bills used by the merchants will be presented as evidence one by one.

These things are not available to all boat owners, and the people are so angry that even the family members who have complained about their grievances before cannot defend themselves.

Seeing that the evidence is conclusive, these seafarers are also confessing, they usually make money to board the boat in the name of crossing the sea, and after overturning the passengers with sweat medicine and stuffy incense, they will disembowel the people and throw the corpses into the sea, which is extremely miserable.

Over the years, these people have committed an unknown number of lives.

Many of the people present were family members of businessmen, who had stayed here for several years in order to find traces of their families, but they had not heard from them.

There was still a glimmer of hope because the body was not found, but now after hearing the truth, everyone in the hall is crying, the cry is shocking, several families hug each other and cry, the mother cries for the son, the wife cries for the husband, the son cries for the father, and several people are crying on the spot and fainting.

Seeing this scene, everyone couldn't help but feel compassion, although the case was in the open day, but these people could not be resurrected.

Although no family members of the other people were killed, they were also indignant at the moment, and immediately picked up the eggs, threw the vegetable leaves on the prisoners, and shouted that these people would be cut with a thousand knives.

These prisoners were all silent, let the people smash them, and a few showed remorse on their faces, but there were also stubborn people who sneered.

Seeing that the case had been solved, the magistrate got up from the public case and said to Lin Yanchao: "If you are not the champion, the three lights do not shine on the raspberries." ”

The raspberry is said to be a covered pot, and the sun does not shine under the raspberry, which means that there is nowhere to complain.

An old man, several arresters quickly said: "When I went through this case, I was only young, and now it has been several years, and today I finally solve the confusion in my heart." ”

The master said: "Champion Gong, God is decided, we and other gentry of this county all implore Champion Duke to stay in your county for a few days, and wait for me to express my gratitude." ”

Lin Yanchao said with a smile: "That's not necessary, I have a period to return to my hometown and province, but I can't make a mistake." ”

Hearing Lin Yanchao's words, everyone was stunned, and then said: "It turns out that the champion is not ordered to investigate this case?" ”

Lin Yanchao laughed and said: "Yes, it's not what they mean, it's just my business, it's just that officials need to have the idea of being sick, if they ignore the grievances of the people, how different is it from these harmful boatmen." ”

Everyone admired Lin Yanchao's words, and left after Lin Yanchao finished speaking.

Seeing Lin Yanchao leaving, the magistrate did not blame Lin Yanchao for concealing it at the moment, but was even more grateful to him, and said to the left and right: "Champion Gong, true minister, it's a pity that I can't meet the prime minister." ”

The officials also nodded one after another and said, "Yes, such a minister, but the court can't use it." ”

Everyone felt sorry for Lin Yanchao.

After that, the magistrate took all these boat households into custody and waited for the approval of the department.

In this way, this unsolved case was solved, and since Zhaoxue, the people have been jubilant. Folk artists made this case into a drama, which spread among the people and endured for a long time.

As for Lin Yanchao at the moment, he also returned to his hometown after more than 20 days of trekking by land from Ningde. (To be continued.) )
