After breakfast, Lin Yi pushed Su Mu to the main hall.
For some reason, there were no commoners outside the hall, nor were there any bailiffs. There was only County Magistrate Ge and the person kneeling on the ground with the chain attached to him for the rest of his life. In general, in order to show that there is no malpractice, the day of the hearing is generally allowed to the people to watch. The commoners had always loved to watch the show. The human face case had caused such a stir, so why was there no one around?
Su Mu tilted his head. Just as he was about to ask, he saw County Governor Ge running over with a bitter face. "We've already caught the murderer. When will Liu Zichen be released?" The Duke of Western Zhejiang came every day, but he didn't say anything. He stayed in the prison for the time it took for two incense sticks to burn, then left with a stern face. Pity that the magistrate didn't dare to ask for anything, for fear of being burned to ashes. The pressure was so great that he couldn't sleep at night!
Lin Yi said, "You don't need to worry about him. Just think of it as having a family in prison."
Prefecture Overseer Ge glanced at Lin Yi with resentment as he spoke in a relaxed manner.
Su Mu managed to figure out some of the knots. It was probably because the bag, which he hadn't seen for a long time, was busy with this matter.
"Let's open the hall." Lin Yi placed Su Mu in his seat and ordered Ge County.
County Governor Ge nodded his head, and his shock was recorded on the photo: "For the rest of the prisoners' lives, do you admit that you've killed the thrush shop's warbler, Flowing Mist Pavilion's unparalleled, Emerald Mansion Pavilion's Liu Chang?"
The rest of his life felt like he was going to rust. There was no sign of life. After a long time, he finally answered, "Yes." If it wasn't for the silence of the hall, no one would have been able to hear it.
"Why did you kill the dead for the rest of your life?" County Magistrate Ge asked.
Why? He slowly raised his head for the rest of his life and looked at County Magistrate Ge. At the same time, he also seemed to have seen through County Magistrate Ge's line of sight.
Before meeting Yingying, he had almost accepted the fact that he would spend the rest of his life with her. Although he would still feel resentful whenever he saw his stepmother's son in the private school, he would never think about anything else until he met Yingying.
Accurately speaking, they didn't meet, but by chance, he passed by that alley behind Yingying's window, and accidentally caught a glimpse of her. With a glance, he was shocked beyond belief. However, even if he took a detour there every day, the window would never open.
He didn't know if it was lucky or unfortunate, but that was on the first day that Yingying lived in that house. She had smelled the stench of urine, but he didn't know where it came from, so he searched around the window.
He had been stuck in a dilemma for the rest of his life. One day, he mustered up his courage and sneakily went home to change out of his greasy clothes and put on his younger brother's scholar's robe. The scholar's robe was too small and too tight for him to bear.
Hearing him boasting so shamelessly to cover his tracks, some people laughed at him for wanting to find a woman even before he had fully grown his fur, while others ridiculed him, a poor bastard, for wanting to eat swan meat …
In the end, the one that helped him was Yingying.
"Everyone says don't bully a poor youth. Who knows, maybe in the future he'll become a top student in high school?" Yingying protested coquettishly, "I just like the bookkeeper."
"Wait for my high school, I'll definitely come back and marry you!"
"I'll wait for you."
For the rest of his life, he didn't want to remember what kind of situation he was in when he was studying. In the end, when he finally went to the capital to take his exams, he thought he was only one step away from marrying a warbler.
He was only one out of three hundred. He thought that he was extremely talented, but he didn't even have the chance to participate in the Hall Competition. Later on, he learned that he had neither power nor wealth, and that was what doomed him to failure.
Just as he was dejected, the Minister of the Civil Service's letter arrived. He could not believe that a pie would fall from the sky, but he could not bear to give up. With the support of the Government Office, next spring, he would definitely be able to enter high school.
Thus, he was faced with the greatest humiliation in his life: his marriage had lasted less than eight months, his wife had given birth to a baby boy, and everyone knew that he was born on a green prairie. That was fine, but he endured it. In the end, when the baby had just reached the full moon, his wife took the child and eloped! After two months, his wife was forcefully brought back home. In order to prevent him from talking too much, he was confined within the residence and was not allowed to leave.
The second time, he did not even manage to pass and his father-in-law said, "No need."
Indeed, there was no need for that. He had been assigned a casual job, and other than him, everyone else was satisfied.
He was too embarrassed to see the warbler, but he couldn't help but run out to see the warbler. He didn't believe them when they said that Yingying was accompanying the son of the County King, but he had no choice but to believe the familiar laughter that came from inside the door. The so-called 'not marrying' was just a method to raise his status.
He sent someone to bring a letter to Yingying.
"She still loves me. She wants to open the window for me." For the rest of his life, his eyes were red, his hands were shaking, and the chains were making sharp sounds.
"Then why did you kill her? Didn't you love her? " To be honest, she still felt sympathy for the rest of her life. It was no wonder a man could be crazy if he was forced to such a state.
"I loved her, so even if she betrayed me, I still let her take the medicine." At least she didn't let Yingying see her face getting cut, "What I love isn't her face, as long as she can live, then I won't take it to heart, but she failed."
The corner of Su Mu's mouth couldn't help but twitch. This was true love, haha.
"The others are just toys. There's no need to talk about it too much." Lowering your head for the rest of your life.
"Then why are other people's skin so thin and thick, and have more injuries? Is it really all your doing? " County Magistrate Ge slapped the wood, as if he wanted to wake up the rest of his seemingly sleepy life.
There was no reaction for the rest of his life, but Su Mu and Lin Yi were alerted. Could it be that the poison from last night …
The group waited for the rest of their lives to answer, but he didn't seem to care. He continued to speak slowly, "I didn't knock them out. They didn't want to cooperate and kept struggling. When they attacked, it was a little crooked."
Is that so? This explanation seemed perfectly reasonable.
"For the rest of your life, what kind of defense do you have against the human face case?"
"I want everyone to know that the Minister's son-in-law is a murderer and that Yu Jing's brother is a murderer. I want them to hate me at all times and want to tear me into pieces at all times." He raised his head and glared at County Magistrate Ge for the rest of his life.
County Magistrate Ge's back trembled from his gaze.
Once the seeds of doubt were planted, it would be difficult to remove them. Once the seed was planted, Su Mu suggested going to the morgue to look at the corpse. With Lin Yi there, County Magistrate Ge would naturally not refuse.
The morgue was located in the most remote northwest corner of the yamen. To go there, one had to cross over half the yamen. Lin Yi wasn't in a hurry as he slowly pushed Su Mu. As they passed by a flower tree, Lin Yi couldn't help but pick a light purple flower and place it beside Su Mu's ear.
"Sir Lin, I am a man." Su Mu reminded her. She had changed back into men's clothing this morning. Su Mu picked up the flower beside his ear and held it in his hand. However, he didn't throw it away.
This sun is so good!
