Chapter 248 Trial of Case
Su Yu looked up at the ceiling above his head. This Master Yuan probably didn't understand what he was saying. He glanced at the old man lightly and saw that he looked like a fighting bull, oh no, a fighting sheep, who was furious at Old Man Wang.
He simply chose to ignore it. The original owner's teacher was not his teacher, and he was a teacher without any ethics. Su Yu walked silently to the straw pile and sat down cross-legged.
Seeing Su Yu's attitude, Master Yuan became even angrier and wanted to curse, but when he saw Old Man Wang who was eyeing him covetously and ready to fight at any time, he could only choose to shut up silently.
He turned around, waved his sleeves heavily, and then said in a voice that only he could hear: "Hmph, I won't bother with a rude man like you."
Seeing him walk away dejectedly, Old Man Wang walked over to Su Yu and sat down.
He said with a worried tone: "Mr. Su, what should we do about this situation?"
Although he was much older than Su Yu and could be said to be old enough to be Su Yu's father, he subconsciously respected Su Yu and obeyed Su Yu's orders.
Su Yu comforted him: "Uncle Wang, it's okay, we did nothing wrong. I believe the county magistrate will definitely give us justice."
Seeing Su Yu say this, Old Man Wang felt a little relieved.
In the archives, County Magistrate Yang was still looking through the case documents. According to the latest document, the female Tao in the case had died.
The case was about Wang Qiang, a neighbor of Tao, who bullied Tao. Liu Ermaizi and three others wanted to help, but were beaten by an accomplice named Su Yu. Wang Qiang then set fire to the bodies to destroy the evidence and asked Su Yu to throw Liu Ermaizi and the other two to the government office, falsely accusing them of being the murderers. He also attached a signed indictment.
Originally, this kind of major case involving loss of life should have been handled personally by County Magistrate Zhong, but County Magistrate Zhong was not free today, so the task was pushed to him. This was not the first time he had handled such a matter. Usually, when the county magistrate was not free, he would help handle some matters.
But this time it's different. This is a murder case. If he handles this kind of murder case well, he can prove his ability to the court. Then, with the help of General Bai Xiao's power, he can be promoted. It won't be a problem for him to get promoted and make money.
Just as he was thinking about this, the sound of Constable Han's footsteps interrupted his thoughts. He knelt on one knee in front of County Magistrate Yang and said, "County Magistrate Yang, your subordinates have already arrested the criminals Su Yu and Wang Qiang."
After hearing the report from Constable Han, County Magistrate Yang showed a satisfied smile. This Constable Han Guang was proactive and not procrastinating in his work. He was a promising talent. After the work was done, it would not be impossible to take him in as a confidant.
He praised: "It's done well."
Han Bo happily flattered and bent over, saying: "Thank you for the compliment from County Magistrate Yang. It is a blessing I have earned in my previous life that I can work for County Magistrate Yang."
Constable Han looked up at County Magistrate Yang and said, "County Magistrate Yang, you may not know that when I went to the Su Mansion today, I saw an incredible beauty."
County Magistrate Yang didn't care, "Oh, how beautiful can it be?"
Constable Han showed an obscene smile and said, "She is so beautiful that she is beyond compare and very pretty."
When County Magistrate Yang Anmin heard this, he was a little moved. He couldn't help stroking his chin. He glanced at Han Guang, who looked like a servile man, and seemed to understand what he meant.
So he smiled and said: "Very good, now that this case is done, you will work beside me in the future. Go down and bring the criminals to the court."
Constable Han bowed and said, "Yes, sir. I'll go right away." Then he left happily.
In the cell, Su Yu had just closed his eyes to rest when he heard the sound of shackles being opened, followed by the jailer's voice and beckoning, "You two, come out and follow me."
Su Yu and Old Man Wang walked out of the cell obediently after taking a few steps.
Su Yu heard a loud noise coming from the cell behind him, and then he saw three people following him, who were none other than Liu Ermaizi and his two companions.
When Liu Ermaizi and the other two saw Su Yu, they first shrank their necks in fear, then seemed to think of something and looked up at Su Yu and the other two with contempt.
Su Yu saw the expressions of the three people and was too lazy to guess what they were thinking. He just followed the officer obediently.
Led by the officials, several people walked around the corners and arrived at the center of the court. When Su Yu looked up, he saw an official wearing a black gauze hat and an emerald green waistcoat. Could this be Magistrate Zhong?
But these ordinary facial features don't look like those of the mother of Young Master Zhong and Young Miss Zhong. Could it be that they take after their mother, Madam Meng?
Su Yu was still immersed in his chaotic thoughts when an angry shout rang out, "Su Yu, old man Wang, you two are so brave. You dare to be so rude when you see County Magistrate Yang? Kneel down quickly." The voice came from Constable Han who arrested them.
When County Magistrate Yang saw that Su Yu was so ignorant of the rules, he felt a little unhappy. It turned out that this was the behavior of a child without a father's guidance.
When Su Yu heard this, he muttered to himself, "So this gentleman is the county magistrate. No wonder, this explains it."
Although he was not a county magistrate, in this era, one had to kneel down and salute when meeting an official. This was a rule that no one could violate. What's more, he was just an ordinary citizen without any achievements.
Thinking of this, Su Yu did not dare to neglect it any longer. He hurriedly bowed, then knelt on one knee and said respectfully: "Greetings to County Magistrate Yang."
Seeing this, Old Man Wang on the side also quickly followed Su Yu's actions and knelt on the ground, "Greetings to County Magistrate Yang."
County Magistrate Yang sat upright, his eyes fixed on the two people kneeling below, and he kept looking at them.
He was just a young boy and an ordinary lowly farmer.
After a long while, he finally fixed his gaze on Su Yu and asked, "Are you Su Yu?"
County Magistrate Yang had heard of Su Yu. He heard that this boy was extremely disliked by his father and had been living with his mother in Taohua County for many years.
It is also said that at a young age, he indulges in eating, drinking, whoring and gambling, and has all the five vices. He is a typical playboy.
There were also rumors that he was ugly, but when I saw him with my own eyes today, the person in front of me was completely different from the rumors. He looked like a handsome gentleman.
Yang County Magistrate wondered, could this be the case of all show but rotten inside? It was possible, Yang County Magistrate thought.
When Su Yu heard the County Magistrate's question, he immediately replied, "Your Excellency, I am Su Yu."
Then, County Magistrate Yang turned his gaze to Old Man Wang standing next to Su Yu, and asked again: "Are you Wang Qiang?"
Old Man Wang quickly responded, "I am Wang Qiang."
After confirming the identity of the visitor, County Magistrate Yang's face darkened. He slammed the gavel and shouted angrily: "Bold Su Yu, how dare you collude with the villain Wang Qiang to set fire and injure people, resulting in the death of Tao. According to the laws of this dynasty, Wang Qiang is guilty of a heinous crime and should be beheaded. And you, Su Yu, are also guilty and should be exiled to the northern border."
Su Yu couldn't help but grumble at this remark. In this ancient society, were cases handled so carelessly? Did they even skip the procedure of questioning the suspect about their basic situation?
He couldn't panic. Su Yu calmed himself down and quickly argued, "Sir, I just saw Liu Ermaizi and others beating Uncle Wang, and I helped out out of righteous indignation."
At this time, Liu Ermaizi on the side jumped out and shouted: "Sir, please don't believe Su Yu's nonsense. It was obviously Wang Qiang who had improper thoughts about Madam Tao. I just went to help. Su Yu is his accomplice. It was obviously Su Yu who was so cruel that he broke my lower body."
Seeing this, Ah Fei also echoed, "Yes, yes, sir, Captain Han even specially invited a doctor to treat our boss, and the doctor said that from now on our boss, he...he will never be able to have sex again."
Biao San also nodded repeatedly, muttering: "Yes, yes..."
Upon hearing this, County Magistrate Yang glared at Su Yu and said sternly, "Su Yu, even now, you're still trying to make excuses with such eloquence. Do you think I'll easily believe your nonsense?"
Su Yu felt that County Magistrate Yang was really biased. He secretly wondered in his heart, how could such a person who couldn't tell right from wrong, black from white, sit in this position?
