After I was reborn, I dismantled my husband's son-in-law

Chapter 73 Hutu Magistrate or Confused Magistrate

Commander Zhao glanced at the superior, Magistrate Sun. It was hard for Sun Hu to be confused!

He said before Liu San:

"I asked the mother and daughter of the Mu family to take care of the beggars, and I should be responsible for anything that happens.

But arrest people and seize stolen goods.

I would like to ask Magistrate Sun if he has any evidence that the Mu family murdered someone?"

Commander Zhao had an expression on his face that said, "I will take responsibility."

Sun Hutu looked at Liu San.

He never knew this.

How to provide evidence to Commander Zhao now?

I just hope Liu San has real evidence.

Otherwise, his official career will come to an end.

Talking at the door, Liu San thought that Commander Zhao was a military general and General Dongxuan had no political concerns.

Just a rough idea of ​​things!

But this commander got involved.

The county magistrate still looked in awe.

This made him know that this commander was the rumored commander of the Supervision Department.

It was rumored that Commander Zhao was selfless and only obeyed the emperor's orders.

Liu San understood that it was Commander Zhao who was calling the shots in the court at this time.

He knelt down and said nervously:

"The little ones are just following orders."

Sun Hutu immediately ordered people to find Lieutenant Gao County.

Soon, Lieutenant Gao County came to the court.

Sun Hutu immediately asked:

"Why did you go beyond my official position and arrest people directly?"

He was worried about Gaoxian Wei's overstepping his authority.

Gao Xianwei cupped his hands and said unhurriedly:

"The lower official saw that it was rare for the Lord to have time to spend time with his family, and he was worried that the prisoner would escape, so he took the initiative to arrest him."

Sun Hutu asked: "Where is the evidence?"

"Your Majesty, I have evidence. Please wait a moment."

The Gao County captain ordered people to summon witnesses and evidence.

Then, he looked at Commander Zhao, with no fear in his eyes, but a trace of pride hidden in his eyes.

The prince violated the law and the common people, but he did not believe that this man could cover the sky with one hand.

After being summoned, the two beggars went to court.

The two beggars saluted and announced their names.

One person is Wang Sanshun, and the other person is Li Shi.

Magistrate Sun asked:

"Did you witness the poisoning of the Mu family with your own eyes?"

The two beggars were full of fear and trembling all over.

They bowed their heads to the ground for a long time before Li Shi spoke:

"Replying to your lord, I did witness the little girl from the Mu family pouring medicine into the pot."

Immediately afterwards, Wang Sanshun came back to his senses and said:

"The younger one saw his companions eating the New Year's goods sent by the Mu family, and they bled to death from their orifices."

Sun Hutu heard this and looked at the evidence casually...

A little bit of leftover porridge pot and a half-eaten pastry!

Sun Hutu said righteously and solemnly:

"Now that the witnesses and material evidence are all there, I ask Commander Zhao not to protect the prisoner anymore."

Commander Zhao glanced at everyone in the courtroom and looked at Sun Hutu.

This person relied on the grace of his ancestors to become an official.

When he was a Beijing official, he was demoted to prefect by the emperor on the grounds that he was doing things carelessly and wasting money and people.

Sun Hutu served as magistrate for three years.

When I ran into him for an unannounced visit, it happened to be during the assessment period, so I saw that it was too late to use him.

So this year he was demoted to the second level and became the county magistrate today.

It's just that this person didn't learn the original lesson.

"Based on the words of two people and a pot and cakes that can be found everywhere, we must draw a conclusion. Is your subordinate, Magistrate Sun, fooling you or me?"

Commander Zhao was exuding official authority, and everyone present was filled with fear.

Gao Xianwei said calmly:

"My lord, these two certificates are indeed from the small courtyard rented by the Mu family. If you don't believe it, you can go to the small courtyard and ask."

"I don't need to go to the courtyard to know that you are cheating.

The pastry is the famous Li Ji pastry in the county. A small bag costs one tael of silver. I don’t believe that Mu’s family would buy one for every beggar.”

He got to know him thanks to Miss Mu who had been tricking him into buying pastries.

Suddenly, Commander Zhao inadvertently swept away the tea cup on the small table and flew directly towards the two beggars.

Li Shi ducked subconsciously.

Wang Sanshun collapsed on the ground with a look of horror on his face.

Commander Zhao immediately waved his hand to his followers to arrest him.

Li Shi knew he was trapped and immediately ran towards the gate of the county government office, but was intercepted by his followers at the door.

The two attendants quickly tapped his acupuncture points to prevent him from moving. They also checked that there were no poisons in his mouth and made him kneel in the lobby.

Commander Zhao stood up and stood next to Li Shi and scolded:

"Next time you want to play beggar, you must make yourself a little dirtier."

Only then did Sun Hutu come to his senses from the accident, patted the gavel and asked:

"Who are you? Why did you pretend to be a beggar and frame the Mu family?"

Li Shi remained silent, and Commander Zhao asked:

"County Magistrate Sun, since Li Shi is unwilling to confess, aren't there two others who gave false testimony?"

Lieutenant Gao Xian no longer looked calm, but looked slightly panicked.

He held up his hands and explained:

"Sir, I heard that my subordinates came to report that someone in a small courtyard had been poisoned and died, so I took people there.

During the investigation, the two beggars stood up and corrected the Mu family.

I listened to their words and mistakenly investigated this case. Please investigate clearly."

When the two beggars saw that Lieutenant Gao had passed all the responsibilities to them, Li Shi could not speak and glared at Lieutenant Gao angrily with his eyes open.

Wang Sanshun said in a panic:

"Gao County Lieutenant is talking nonsense, he clearly asked us to drug him.

Before administering the medicine, his attendants told us it was a laxative, but he died."

Gao County Lieutenant pointed at Wang Sanshun and asked sharply:

"I have no grievances against you and the Mu family, so why do you want to murder people?"

The money Wang Sanshun received was only from a servant.

He knew that the boy was from the Gao family, or he found out about it when an official broke into the courtyard on an errand.

Wang Sanshun couldn't explain it and was speechless.

Sun Hutu saw this and slapped the gavel:

"The case is now clear, it must be these two beggars..."

"Wait a minute, I still have questions."

Commander Zhao signaled his followers to untie the beggar's cave and asked:

"What do you have to say?"

"I have evidence to prove that Lieutenant Gao County ordered us to do the poisoning. I only ask for your leniency."

Li Shi knew that if the case was brought to Sun Hutu for interrogation, he would be safe and sound.

But now that he has guessed who the person listening is, he will definitely be convicted.

With Commander Zhao's intelligence, he is definitely not easy to fool, and he must interrogate the person behind the scenes. Now he can only kill Lieutenant Gao to keep his family safe.

Commander Zhao knew that what Wang Sanshun said might be true, and the medicine might have been changed by Li Shi.

However, there should be someone behind Li Shi, but it is impossible to find out now, so he can only investigate secretly.

"You hand over the evidence, and I will spare you the death penalty."

Li Shi revealed the location of the money given to him by Gao Xianwei's subordinates.

He also said that he once saw Lieutenant Gao's housekeeper going to Xicheng Pharmacy.

Two groups of officials followed Sun Hutu's orders and soon got the money back. They also inquired about the purchase of arsenic by the manager of the Gao family.

Everything went extremely smoothly, leaving Gao Xianwei with no excuse.

Commander Zhao frowned.

He knew there was something fishy hidden in it.

However, Gao Xianwei did have the intention to murder others.

Commander Zhao did not point it out. He wanted to hear how Gao Xianwei responded.

Gaoxian Wei complained to Sun Hutu about injustice.

However, when Sun Hutu saw Commander Zhao was silent in front of the evidence, he thought he recognized the outcome of the case and was determined to get Lieutenant Gao to plead guilty.

Lieutenant Gao Xian knew that if he did not confess truthfully at this time, he would probably be dismissed from his post and imprisoned.

Sun Hutu patted the gavel and angrily shouted:

"Gao Yang, you don't plead guilty and you still dare to touch upon my son. It's absolutely abominable. Someone..."

Before Sun Hutu could order the execution, Lieutenant Gao County interjected:

"The official is telling the truth. Second Master Sun ordered someone to inform the official to arrest him. The official knows nothing about other things."

Commander Zhao reminded lightly:

"County Magistrate Sun, since there are new doubts about the case, you should summon your second son to come and testify!"
