Chapter 21 Redress of injustice under pretext

After hearing the order from the county magistrate, six government officials came out, and some even moved out of the wide bench for torture. Two of them arrived in front of Du Fang and pushed him down directly on the bench. Du Fang panicked and kept shouting that he was wronged.

"No, sir, the ordinary people don't dare to tease the adults. Every word of the ordinary people is true! Sir, the ordinary people are unjustly accused."

Magistrate Lin ignored it and threw out the order.

"Hit me!"

Du Fang's back and armpits were already held up by two fire and water sticks, and his feet were also held up by two fire and water sticks. There were two other people standing on either side of Du Fang, a government official said coldly.

"You'd better not move around. Water and fire are ruthless, and the same goes for water and fire sticks. If you move around, a stick may break your waist and legs, and you won't have to lie down for a few days!"

Du Fang was so frightened that his face turned pale and he did not dare to move casually anymore, but he still shouted that he was wronged and kept looking around.

"Miss He, Miss He - come out quickly - didn't you say you could make the county magistrate understand -"

"Don't make any noise!"

One of the government officials shouted angrily, and the water and fire stick he raised in his hand fell heavily.

"Bang~"

"ah--"

"Bang~"

"Ah - Sir, I was wronged -"

"Bang~"

"ah--"

After only four or five sticks fell, Du Fang could no longer even howl out, only whining, and kept shouting injustice.

Standing outside the courtroom, Yi Shuyuan subconsciously clenched a corner of his clothes, and frequently looked at the woman outside the door behind him, who was also wailing.

"My lord, it's none of his business. Sir, can you hear it - the little girl was wronged - my lord -"

"I'm a lonely ghost. I have a home that I can't return to, and I can't be reincarnated. I'm unwilling to die in this miserable place, ah——"

The woman's scream was shrill and tragic, and her voice was actually a bit ferocious. Yi Shuyuan's scalp felt numb when he heard it. When he turned around to look, he saw that the woman's pale face was getting darker and darker, and black blood began to flow from all her orifices. Black air filled his body.

Even though he didn't know anything about this, Yi Shuyuan knew with his toes that he was about to turn into a ghost!

"Eight" "Bang~"

"Nine" "Bang~"

The water and fire sticks were still falling, and Du Fang no longer had the strength to scream and struggle. In fact, the government officials had already begun to hold back their hands behind him, but even if they did, it would not be that easy.

This water and fire stick was a torment for Du Fang and the woman, but it was also tormenting Yi Shuyuan.

Originally, Yi Shuyuan was still thinking about whether he could believe the lies, but at this moment, he really felt the woman's despair.

Yi Shuyuan couldn't bear it anymore. It only took him a few breaths, and the nine blows of the water and fire stick were like hitting his heart. He didn't want the woman to turn into a ghost.

Since no one can see or hear, and you can't go to court, I, Yi Shuyuan, will help you!

Yi Shuyuan was just a small civil servant. He was soft-spoken and could not force the county magistrate to walk outside the county government office, but he had his own way.

"stop--"

Finally, Yi Shuyuan spoke. His voice was clear and loud, which suddenly drowned out the few other voices in the courtroom late at night. Everyone's attention turned to him.

The county magistrate frowned and looked outside. There was a roofless area between the court hall and the front, which could also be regarded as the outer hall. At this moment, there was a figure standing on the side, it was Yi Shuyuan.

"If I have not admitted my mistake, you should be the clerk who compiled the county annals, right?"

Yi Shuyuan did not walk directly into the courtroom, but walked a few steps from the edge and walked into the courtroom.

"That's right!"

"You are aware of the crime of disturbing the court!"

Yi Shuyuan took a deep breath and answered the question.

"Sir, I was seriously ill when I was young. After I recovered, I occasionally encountered some strange things and saw ghosts and gods at night."

Everyone present was slightly shocked when they heard this. Isn't this person also teasing the county magistrate?

The county magistrate frowned even more. Compared to the miserable Du Fang on the ground, Yi Shuyuan's demeanor was calm and graceful. He was also a member of the county government, so he didn't seem to be teasing him specifically, right?

Yi Shuyuan did not wait for anyone else to ask, but turned to face the door of the court, his eyes falling directly on the woman in white.

"Girl, if Yi's guess is correct, you are the murdered girl He Xinhe, right?"

The woman in white, who was already full of anger, looked shocked, then immediately became ecstatic. She wanted to take a step forward but was afraid, and asked in an unbelievable voice.

"Sir! Can you see me? Can you hear me?"

Yi Shuyuan nodded, while also paying attention to every word and every sentence of the woman's voice.

"I can see and hear. Although I'm afraid of ghosts, I can't see evil people going unpunished, and I can't bear that you have nowhere to redress your grievances, and you were born into a fierce ghost in this just and strict place."

As Yi Shuyuan's words fell, many people subconsciously felt a little cold. Many people followed Yi Shuyuan's line of sight and looked outside the court, but naturally saw nothing.

"Mr. Yi, you"

"Sir - please give me a moment!"

Yi Shuyuan was willing to take risks now. As he spoke, he looked towards the court and looked at the county magistrate. His eyes were clear, bright and full of righteousness, which actually made the county magistrate speechless.

Yi Shuyuan looked outside the court again. Very good, the woman has stabilized a lot, and then it's up to him!

"Girl, Mr. Yi is soft-spoken and doesn't have much ability. I would like to lend my life to you tonight to help you express your grievances. The Lord County Lord will definitely make the decision for you!"

Upper body? The woman in white was stunned for a moment, and everyone present was stunned for a moment.

"Sir, how can I get in touch with you? Sir, do you want to come out and teach me? Sir? Why don't you come over? Sir -"

But no matter how the woman in white yelled, Yi Shuyuan refused to walk out. Instead of walking out, he walked towards the court step by step. When he arrived at Du Fang, he glanced at him, and then looked towards the door behind him.

"Girl, please, let me use my mouth to tell you your grievances sentence by sentence!"

"Sir—I can't enter the courtroom! Sir—"

The woman in white yelled anxiously. She thought Yi Shuyuan didn't know about this. In desperation, she took a few steps back and even wanted to rush to the door again.

But Yi Shuyuan lowered his head, tried his best to keep his heart calm, adjusted his breath, and spoke softly when the woman in white was about to rush to the door.

"grown ups."

Du Fang temporarily forgot about the pain, and the woman in white who was already approaching the door was also stunned.

This is not Yi Shuyuan's voice, this is a woman's voice, to be precise, this is He Xin's voice!

This was Yi Shuyuan's plan. He was a civil servant. Although Wu Minggao valued him, he was probably nothing to the county magistrate. It was impossible for people to believe him when he said he could see ghosts and talk to others. In the eyes of outsiders, he was just I saw Yi Shuyuan talking to the air.

So Yi Shuyuan needs a way that everyone can believe immediately.

"It's Miss He! It's Miss He!"

Amid Du Fang's cry of surprise, everyone in the courtroom, from the county magistrate to the yamen servant, had goosebumps at this moment.

At this moment, Yi Shuyuan's spirit soared. Even though I'm just a storyteller, even though I'm afraid of ghosts, even though I don't have any great abilities, I, Yi Shuyuan, still have the ability to help you!

"Sir, the daughter of the people is He Xin!"

Yi Shuyuan spoke again. If he had to adjust the two words in a low voice at first, now he could pronounce them clearly, just like He Xin's voice.

The county magistrate took a deep breath, a chill rose from his feet to the top of his head, and his scalp felt numb!

"You, what are your grievances?"

Magistrate Lin, who had just been full of power and authority, did not have much confidence in what he said at the moment. Even if he was the lord of the county, he would not be afraid of seeing ghosts at night. The master over there could hardly even hold a pen. Stable.

The two rows of government officials were holding on to the water and fire sticks. If it hadn't been a habit accumulated over time, they would have had the urge to run away. Even the few police officers with martial arts skills who had just arrived outside the hall had cold hands and feet.

Hearing the county magistrate's words, Yi Shuyuan knew that it was more than half done. He calmed down and spoke quietly again.

"Please let Mr. Du go first!"

The county magistrate looked at the badly beaten Du Fang and quickly gave orders to the left and right.

"No need to fight, no need to fight, take him down and ask the doctor to treat him!"

Du Fang, who turned around after a few steps, was helped away amidst a flurry of people beside him. Yi Shuyuan, who lowered his head slightly, also spoke again.

"A civilian girl was originally from Luo County, Wuzhou. She was kidnapped from Wuzhou by that evil businessman. I don't want to be humiliated and would rather die than obey. After being killed by him, I will sink into the E River."

At this point, Yi Shuyuan's feminine voice paused slightly. These words were spoken by Du Fang before, and He Xin needed to cooperate with them later.

"Please tell me the whole story, Your Majesty the County Lord."

Yi Shuyuan's face turned slightly outward, "Girl, it's not convenient for Mr. Yi to tell you clearly now, but is this code obvious enough?" Yi Shuyuan thought so in his heart, hoping that the woman didn't need him to give any other hints.

Sure enough, the woman outside the gate was stunned for a moment, then she immediately reacted and started talking in the direction of the hall.

"The little girl was originally the daughter of a bamboo craftsman family in Luo County, Wuzhou. She was the third eldest child in the family."

"The little girl was originally the daughter of a bamboo craftsman family in Luo County, Wuzhou."

The woman in white said something, and Yi Shuyuan immediately followed, with almost the same tone of voice.

As she continued to talk, the woman in white seemed to have forgotten the matter of passing the message, and became more and more emotional, even crying out of sadness.

Yi Shuyuan, on the other hand, didn't even drop a single tone of voice. He was equally sad and vocal. Although his back was to the woman, even his posture was somewhat similar.

In the county government hall, most of the people who were originally scared were gradually attracted by the incident itself as Yi Shuyuan narrated, and their hearts grew angry!
