Female-male sex: Salted fish forced to rise to prominence

Chapter 252 Niuniu's Testimony

Niu Niu stretched out her chubby finger and pointed at Liu Ermaizi who was staring at her fiercely, "Niu Niu saw these three bad guys tied Niu Niu to a pillar and then set fire to the house. Fortunately, Brother Su Yu saved me..."

Niu Niu wanted to cry at this moment, but her sister Wanwan said that she should be brave and avenge her mother and tell the truth.

"Niuniu's mother is missing, Niuniu's mother was burned to death, it was all because of these bad guys..." Niuniu was still trying to suppress her emotions, but she was young after all, and she couldn't bear it anymore, she burst into tears, "Wuwuwu..., mother, I want mother, Niuniu wants mother.

Su Wanwan looked at Niu Niu with pity. She held Niu Niu in her arms and kept patting Niu Niu's back to comfort her, "Niu Niu, don't be afraid. Sister Wanwan is here. Sister will be your family from now on."

Su Yu thought that since the matter was so clear now, he could just let them go.

He said to County Magistrate Yang, "Sir, now that we have the witness before us, can you clear my name?"

Liu Ermaizi looked anxious. Was he going to be in trouble today because of this little girl?

However, County Magistrate Yang who was sitting there did not agree with Su Yu. He glanced at Su Yu and snorted, "It's just what a young kid said. How can it be taken as real evidence?"

After saying that, his gaze turned and fell directly on Su Wanwan. The beauty was indeed as stunningly beautiful as Constable Han described, with long eyebrows, a pair of charming peach blossom eyes, and a delicate body, like a willow in the wind. She was truly charming.

Such beauty really amazed County Magistrate Yang, and he made up his mind to convict Su Yu of the crime.

In this case, wouldn't the Su family girl come to my house and beg for mercy? Taking her as a concubine would be a piece of cake. Thinking of this, a subtle sense of pride appeared on Yang County Magistrate's face.

Immediately afterwards, County Magistrate Yang pretended to be serious and slammed the gavel, and he loudly scolded Su Wanwan and Niuniu.

"You two little girls, why don't you get out of here immediately? Considering that these are your first offenses, I will forgive you the crime of disrupting the order of the court. Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude."

Su Yu didn't expect that County Magistrate Yang was so unable to distinguish right from wrong.

Su Yu laughed out of anger. He calmly asked County Magistrate Yang, "May I ask, is this how you usually judge cases? There's a confession, and witnesses are pointing fingers at you, yet you turn a blind eye and only listen to one side's story? Is this what you call fairness and strictness?"

The onlookers were also in an uproar and started whispering to each other.

"Yes, yes, how does County Magistrate Yang judge the case?"

"So biased towards Liu Ermaizi."

"Oh my God, does County Magistrate Zhong usually judge cases like this? It's so biased and shouldn't be like this."

The people's discussion made County Magistrate Zhong in the crowd look pale, and as the discussion became louder, the more nonsense he talked.

His face became increasingly darker, and he was filled with anger. He usually worked diligently, leaving home early and returning late every day, but today he was dragged down by County Magistrate Yang. When the inspectors came to inspect, it would be another matter whether he could keep his position as county magistrate.

He glanced at County Magistrate Yang in the hall, suppressing his anger. Normally, County Magistrate Yang was respectful to him and handled things properly. Why was he so confused today? He would wait and see how he would respond.

County Magistrate Yang was slightly annoyed by the people's voices. He finally took his eyes off Su Wanwan. He looked at the people coldly and said loudly, "Quiet! Anyone who makes noise and disturbs the court will be beaten with twenty sticks."

Since ancient times, people have never fought against officials. The big bosses sitting in the county government office are people they cannot afford to offend. The people are not stupid either. They just like to be lively and read gossip, but they dare not get beaten with a stick. The discussion immediately became quieter, and the whole scene became silent in an instant, with only the questioning voice of County Magistrate Yang.

"Su Yu, I want to ask you, if you and Wang Qiang really weren't the arsonists, why didn't a single resident of Xingfu Alley come forward to testify on your behalf when I sent people to that place?"

Hearing this, sister Su Wanwan frowned slightly, because the fact was just as County Magistrate Yang said, no one on the entire street was willing to testify for his brother. What should they do?

County Magistrate Yang looked at Su Yu in the hall and thought, Humph, let's see how you can argue.

Su Yu thought that the people in Xingfu Lane were simply afraid of the powerful, but they were just ordinary people with no power or influence, so he could understand their behavior.

But what does it matter? It is obvious that County Magistrate Yang is being unfair.

Fortunately, he had already arranged to have his attendant Xie An go and invite people. He had long heard that Magistrate Zhong of Taohua County was diligent in his work and loved the people. He was a rare honest official with a very good reputation. What's more, he had the relationship with Madam Meng. He was also the savior of their family. That was why he felt so confident in asking Xie An to invite people, and he was not afraid that people would not come.

Seeing that he had made Su Yu speechless for a long time, County Magistrate Yang couldn't help but feel complacent, looking like a smug man.

Humph, he's just a dandy boy, and a useless idiot. I was really fooled by his appearance just now. He's really a waste.

"Su Yu, you have nothing to say, right? Come here, quickly give Su Yu and Wang Qiang fifty strokes of the cane, and exile them to the northern border in three days. Then adjourn the court."

"Sir, sir...", younger sister Su Wanwan still wanted to plead.

County Magistrate Zhong finally watched the whole process. He raised his hand to straighten his hat and shouted, "Wait, I am here, who dares to touch Su Yu?"

A very majestic voice made the people consciously make way for County Magistrate Zhong.

As soon as County Magistrate Zhong appeared, County Assistant Yang hurried down from the court. A little cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and he bowed and saluted, "Your humble servant greets County Magistrate Zhong."

He had just made such a biased judgment towards Liu Ermaizi, I thought County Magistrate Zhong would notice it. But Su Yu and County Magistrate Zhong had no connection, so why did Lord Zhong speak up to defend him so directly?

County Magistrate Zhong glanced at him and shook his sleeves heavily, "Hmph, I didn't know that County Magistrate Yang was so fair in front of the people." County Magistrate Zhong didn't even want to look at him and went straight to the main seat.

"Sir Zhong, I, your humble servant, just..." County Magistrate Yang nervously wiped the increasing beads of sweat from his forehead with his sleeve.

"I just feel that these witnesses and material evidence are not true, especially the charges. Who knows whether Su Yu and the other man forced people to press their fingerprints."

County Magistrate Zhong took the indictment placed casually on the side and ordered his men to make hand prints.

Constable Xu Yan took the charge and immediately took action. He walked to Liu Ermaizi, and the three men retreated guiltily. How could Xu Yan let them retreat like that? He quickly and accurately grabbed Liu Ermaizi's hand and compared it with the paper.

“Oh, it hurts, sir, please be gentler…” Liu Ermaizi felt waves of pain in his hands from being grabbed, and his face twisted in pain.

Constable Xu Yan thought, well, this handprint is exactly that of this person, so he compared it with the next one. Seeing that Ah Fei couldn't escape, he didn't dare to retreat and obediently let the constable compare his handprints.

After all the fingerprints of the three people were compared, Constable Xu Yan reported, "Sir, the fingerprints of the three people are completely consistent."
