Chapter 106： Sentencing

The county magistrate's voice sounded, attracting everyone's eyes to look in the direction of Chen Linger.

Seeing Chen Linger's appearance, the county magistrate frowned and pointed to the cloth bag that had been opened by the officials, revealing a series of arson utensils inside, with a bit of sternness in his voice, "Chen Ling'er, do you know this cloth bag and what's inside?"

"

At the moment just now, Chen Linger knew that she couldn't recognize her now. If she did, then she would never be able to turn over again. If she doesn't recognize it and lets her father deal with it later, then she will definitely not be punished, and she will not have any concerns about being subjugated.

The county magistrate looked at Chen Linger's changing expression and felt a little frightened. He had never seen such a stubborn woman before, and at this point, he didn't even tell the truth. He slapped the gavel, and his tone was a little more severe, "You know, if you lie to this official, you will be sentenced to one more crime, you can think about it before you speak."

Not mine."

After the county magistrate saw that she explained, Chen Linger still had such a hard mouth, and her face became more and more ugly, "Then tell me, what happened to what this maid said?"

Framed me, I just hate that I didn't beat her to death in the yard."

Tui Er looked at the young lady who was talking nonsense with her eyes open, she was completely dumbfounded, she never thought that at such a time, her lady could still say such a thing.

People who came to see the fun were a little shaken when they heard Chen Linger's words. After all, Chen Linger was a lady from everyone, and the person who identified her was just a maid. Even if they were reluctant in their hearts, they felt that the words of the young lady were much more reliable than the words of the maid.

After a brief shock, Cui Er quickly became panicked, she raised her eyes to look at the ugly county magistrate above, kowtowed a few times, and said eagerly: "Master, Qingtian is great. Sir, I am telling the truth, I have never told a lie!"

Chen Ling'er looked at Cui'er and gritted her teeth: "You cheap maid, I kindly let you go, but you actually teamed up with outsiders to harm me, I shouldn't have kept you in the first place."

After saying that, Chen Linger turned her head to look at the county magistrate above, and tried her best to argue for herself: "Officer, only relying on the confession of a maid, and a cloth bag that I don't know who it is, why? Can it be concluded that I set the fire? Even if I am only a woman, I will not accept such a sentence."

Chen Xing looked at Chen Linger kneeling below, and saw that even though she was pale, she still had a neither humble nor arrogant expression, as if everyone's accusations were slandering her.

And Chen Linger's remarks also made the people watching the lively talk about it, and it seemed that Chen Linger's words made some sense, and whether Chen Xing and the others framed this young lady.

It was just that admiration that was soon diluted by what Chen Linger had done. No matter what, those who did wrong always had to pay the price.

Chen Xing sighed silently in his heart, then took a step forward, walked in front of everyone, bowed his hands towards the county magistrate above, and said loudly: "County magistrate, I still There are several witnesses, please allow us to invite them to court."

The county magistrate didn't expect Chen Xing and the others to have a backer, so he nodded quickly, "Since there are still witnesses, please come up quickly."

"Yes." Chen Xing walked to the back and instructed, and then saw Qiu Jiu who had been in the audience standing out, and then quickly ran towards the outside.

"You mean, we have no way to prove that this cloth bag is yours, so you don't admit those things you did?"

Chen Linger looked at Chen Xing and couldn't control her resentment, "How about it? I can't figure out what kind of hatred I have with you, and you want you to frame me like this."

, just a few people saw the scene of her destroying the evidence, as long as they come to see it, they will naturally be able to prove whether the cloth bag belongs to Miss Chen."

Those people looked at such a big battle here, their legs couldn't help but soften a bit, first they knelt down and bowed to the county magistrate, and the county magistrate said that the gift was waived After that, they stood up tremblingly.

When they got up, Chen Xing pointed at Chen Linger, whose face was getting paler and paler, and asked lightly, "Do you know this lady?"

Several people followed his finger and saw a slender lady kneeling there. When they met their gaze, in addition to disgust, a flash of disgust appeared in their eyes. A little guilty.

Young people who were a little scared because they came to the yamen, but after seeing her reaction, they gradually calmed down. But soon, the leader stared at Chen Linger for a long time, and then shouted loudly, "Yes, I know her, she is the lady we met that night, I will never admit it wrong."

Chen Xing heard his exaggerated cry, nodded, expressing great satisfaction, and then continued to ask: "Then tell me, when you met this lady that day, she doing what?"

When the young man heard Chen Xing's question, he immediately told everything they saw that day, and did not dare to hide the slightest, "We were far away at that time. Some, but it was still clear that she was throwing something into the river. She seemed startled when we passed by."

"Yes, it's her. Although the light was not good at that time, we still won't admit it wrong."

"I recognized it, too. I remember she came with a little maid by her side. By the way, it seems to be the one kneeling there."

"Yes, they were two of them together."

"Also, I remember that after they ran away in a panic, a restaurant not far away seemed to catch fire."

"That's right, I thought it was strange at the time, how could it be so coincidental."

This proves that this maid did not lie, everything she said was true!

Now, do you have anything to say?"

the way:

"Why, why? I am the eldest miss of the Chen family, I am the eldest miss of the Chen family, why does he not even look at me, why does he want to be like that? Protect you! I'm not reconciled, obviously those are all mine, why are they all taken by you."

Chen Linger's voice was full of madness, like an animal that was driven to a desperate situation, and used her final voice to recklessly describe her unwillingness.

Chen Xing was taken aback by Chen Linger's outburst just now, he took a step back and looked at the mad Chen Linger, who seemed to have some lingering fears.

All Chen Linger's unwillingness and anger finally ended on the gavel that the county magistrate clapped.

The yamen was silent for a moment, and then I heard the majestic voice of the county magistrate at the top, "Quiet! The prisoner Chen Linger, trying to avenge others by arson is already a heinous crime. Sophistry in the court, vain attempt to disrupt the law, is even more sinful!"

The county magistrate's voice resounded throughout the hall, causing everyone to look in his direction, only to hear his final decision: "Today, this official announced that the prisoner was convicted of arson , sentenced to five years in prison in a labor camp. Cui'er, who was with her, was sentenced to ten sticks of sticks for her merits in reporting and actively admitting her mistakes."

"The following sentence is pronounced, can everyone in the court object!?"

The county magistrate's eyes swept over the people below, whether it was Mr. Chen, who hated iron, or Mrs. Chen, who looked like he was about to faint.

"Since that's the case, come and take them down to execute them!"

When the official dragged the pale-faced Chen Linger and the anxious Cui'er down, the county magistrate looked at the people with different expressions below and said loudly: "Okay, this lawsuit is over. For now, leave the hall!"

The county magistrate's voice fell, and Mrs. Chen, who was already standing unsteadily, was supported by her servants and quickly walked out of the yamen, but her eyes were staring at Gu who was standing there from beginning to end. Lang, it is full of resentment.

Just when the melon eaters felt that they had nothing to do today and could go back to rest, the big boss of the Chen family restaurant standing in the hall said again, "Sir, it's better to hit the sun if you choose a day. , I still have a lawsuit with the Chen family today, why not deal with it together?"

Master Chen, who lost his face because of Chen Linger, when he heard Gu Lang say this, he couldn't help but have a bad feeling in his heart, even compared to just now Chen Linger felt even more frightened when she embarrassed herself.
