Xu Qing gave him a white eye: "who cares about your apology!"
Tan Lin choked back: "we don't want to apologize to you! It's clear that Tan Yang wants to kill me. Why should I apologize to him? "
"Shut up!" the magistrate said
Li Changting looked down at Tan Lin on the stretcher: "it's said that like father, like son. Such a lawless son really makes me wonder what kind of existence the tan family is in Fanzhou city."
Tan Sen is so cold that he really wants to kick his son. However, he has some luck in his heart. After all, Li Changting is a retired general. As the saying goes, a strong dragon does not oppress a local leader. No matter how capable he is, he has to sell his land in Fanzhou City, isn't he?
The magistrate looked at Li Changting helplessly and flatteringly: "Mr. Li, look at this..."
Li Changting: "originally, I wanted to give you a chance to repent. It seems that you don't want it at all. Then I don't have any mercy."
When Li Changting finished, everyone looked at each other, not knowing what he wanted to do.
"Mr. Zheng, I want to sue Tan Lin and Zhu Min for robbing and killing people in the street."
As Li Changting's voice fell, everyone could not help taking a breath.
The magistrate first responded: "does Mr. Li have evidence?"
Li Changting looked at him: "of course, a year ago, Tan Lin robbed a man surnamed Zhang's heirloom jade pendant in Gongqing lane of Ximen street. If the man surnamed Zhang didn't give it, Tan Lin and Zhu Min killed people together. In DAHAO, the murderer was beaten and sentenced to life imprisonment. That jade pendant is the one on Tan Lin's waist. At that time, Zhang Sheng and his younger sister just came out of the pawnshop. The pawnshop manager can identify the ownership of the jade pendant. Zhang Sheng's younger sister is a witness. She is outside the yamen gate and can be summoned at any time. "
Tan Sen's face changed greatly. They looked at Tan Lin and Zhu Min on the stretcher incredulously.
However, the county magistrate's brow was tight, and he looked a little frightened.
Li Changting then said: "in fact, there was another witness, and it was an important witness. This witness happened to pass by the entrance of the lane, saw everything that happened in the lane, and even went over and asked a few questions."
Li Changting said this sentence looking at the magistrate. However, under the increasingly nervous look of the magistrate, Li Changting laughed, "but I think it's enough to have Sister Zhang Sheng as a witness. What do you say, magistrate?"
"Enough, enough, enough."
The county magistrate's heart, which had been lifted to his throat, slowly returned to its original position, and instantly realized that Li Changting had deliberately taken him out, otherwise people would know that he was the witness, and a crime of shielding a murderer would be enough to take off the black hat on his head.
Even Tan Lin and Zhu Min don't know about the fact that they killed someone. The two teenagers accidentally killed someone when they were beating. How dare they tell their family about this? Of course, they want to cover it up.
Unfortunately, he was caught by the county magistrate. The county magistrate and the two families had a deep friendship. He helped Tan Lin and them dispose of the body, and Zhang Sheng disappeared.
Li Changting looked at the sweating magistrate and reminded him, "don't you call witnesses?"
"Yes, call the witness quickly!" The magistrate turned to the chair and wiped the sweat on his forehead on the way.
Outside came a girl of about 12 years old. Although she was young, such a half year old child already knew the world very well. In addition, the children of poor families took charge of the family early, and they were more precocious than other children.
The magistrate looked at the girl, opened her mouth, and finally said, "are you Zhang Sheng's sister? What did you see at that time? "
The girl knelt on the ground, looking sad and resentful: "the little girl is Zhang Qin, Zhang Sheng's sister. A year ago, my father was seriously ill. My brother took me to the city to pawn the family jade pendant, but the pawnbroker gave me a very low price. My brother wanted to find a buyer to sell more money."
"When passing Gongqing lane, Tan Lin and Zhu Min took a fancy to the jade pendant in my brother's hand. They just wanted to rob it, but my brother didn't give it. They started beating people! My brother asked me to find someone, but I didn't know who I could find. I ran to the street to watch helplessly and ran back. When I went back, I saw my brother killed by Tan Lin and Zhu min. I was very scared and hid behind the stone lion. Then I saw a man helping Tan Lin and Zhu Min to carry my brother into the carriage and take him away. "
After hearing this, the magistrate sighed in his heart and made a decision in his heart.
"Look carefully at the jade pendant on Tan Lin's waist, which is the one your brother was robbed of?" Asked the magistrate.
Zhang Qin glanced at Tan Lin coldly and said in a affirmative tone: "yes, my family used to be a family with a small reputation. Unfortunately, it was destroyed by natural disasters. This jade pendant is my family's ancestral one. The word" Zhang Peixin "is engraved on the edge of the jade pendant. This is my grandfather's name."
The constable immediately took down the jade pendant on Tan Lin's waist and checked it. Then he nodded to the magistrate and said, "my Lord, it's exactly what the little girl said."
"Tan Lin and Zhu Minqiang robbed property and killed people. The evidence is clear! Come on, put me in the dungeon, and they will be banished to the northwest bitter mountain three days later
Tan Lin and Zhu Min are dragged down by the captor before they can react. They shout "Uncle Zheng" all the way, but their "Uncle Zheng" gives them up without hesitation in order to protect themselves. For fear that they will call him out, they can't wait to put them in the dungeon.After hearing the verdict, Tan Sen and others almost fainted in the dark.
The magistrate carefully asked Li Changting, "Mr. Li, do you think it's appropriate for me to make such a judgment?"
Li Changting: "it can't be more appropriate for Mr. Zheng to handle affairs impartially."
The magistrate immediately laughed. It was like walking on a steel wire and finally landing on the ground. Even his voice had the strength. He then announced, "the jade pendant that Tan Lin robbed will be returned to Zhang Jia, and at the same time, he will compensate Zhang Jia for the loss of fifty taels of silver. Do you have any objection, Tan Sen?"
Tansen was pale and in a trance.
The magistrate asked again, and then he came back to himself and said, "no objection."
The magistrate turned to Zhang Qin and said, "Zhang Qin, do you have any objection?"
Zhang Qin has no expression: "no, thank you."
The magistrate nodded his head with satisfaction and said, "quit!"
When they got home, it was obvious that the three teenagers had not recovered from today's events. Originally, they were all worried that master would be involved if they died. Who would have thought that the situation in the court would suddenly turn around again and again, and it turned out that it was Tan Lin who was arrested and put into prison!
Although still a little confused, but really happy!
Xu Qing is going to fight head on today. Who would have thought that Li Changting could easily get rid of the enemy.
