Our Mommy is the Best Investigator!

  Chapter 192 What a clever mouth

  Just after noon, with the sound of resounding grievances and drums, the cold Haikang county government gradually became lively.

  The sound of drumming rang in front of the county yamen for about a quarter of an hour, and a group of lazy yamen servants ran out listlessly and surrounded the area around Mingyuan Drum.

Not long after, a tall, thin man with a goat beard about forty years old came out of the yamen. He looked around the crowd casually, first yawned long, and didn't look at the person who was beating the drum and complaining. Turning a deaf ear to him, he asked to himself: "Where is the troublemaker, dare to complain here early in the morning and beat the drums, disturbing the official's dream?"

   Afterwards, a yamen servant went to report respectfully: "My lord, these are the mother and daughter of the Liu family of the Sun family."

   "Isn't this a self-inflicted snare, let me take it down."

   Tan Miao waved his big hand with a very leisurely expression, and saw several government servants running straight towards Sun Liu's mother and daughter.

   "Wait a minute."

  Chu Nanzhi looked angrily, this person is only a mere Ninth Rank Master Book, and his official position is not small, but his official authority is not small, it can be seen that he is not less domineering on weekdays.

   When he heard that it was Tan Miao, the director, Chu Nanzhi walked over without thinking.

  Tan Miao raised his eyebrows slightly, looked closely at Chu Nanzhi, grinned crookedly and said, "Where did you come from, woman?"

Chu Nanzhi didn't face his question directly, and began to express his feelings directly: "Your Excellency is really a vigorous and decisive person. If you don't ask where you came from, you will defile people and make trouble for the people. Since you know there are people who complain about grievances, you will take them without asking why. Make a decisive decision, I don't know if it was ordered by the county magistrate or the authority bestowed by the emperor today?"

   "What a clever mouth."

Hearing this, Tan Miao's whole spirit was lifted, he didn't dare to be careless, he looked carefully at the beautiful woman in front of him, and said sincerely: "I don't know how sacred this lady is, what is so-called to come to my county government office?" What's the matter?"

   "The folk woman is here for one thing."

  Chu Nanzhi replied: "That is to appeal for the criminal Sun Wuji in prison."

   "Sun Woogie?"

Tan Miao was taken aback when he heard this, and smiled lightly with trembling brows: "Miss, don't be joking, the case has already been closed, and the documents for review by the county will be sent back in the past few days, don't follow the mother and daughter. Come to add to the chaos, or I will accuse you of disturbing the court."

  Seeing that his expression was getting serious, Sun Lizheng hurriedly stepped forward and explained respectfully: "My lord, Wu Ji's case has not yet come to execution. During this period, we can definitely find a lawyer to appeal for Wu Ji again."

As he said that, he slowly looked at Chu Nanzhi, and continued: "This is Mrs. Chu who helped the county government to investigate the tax and bank case and Zhao's murder case at Luyan Port, and she is the new litigator we hired for Wu Ji today. "

   "Miss Chu?"

Hearing this name, Tan Miao was so frightened that he immediately stood in awe, but when he thought of her intention of coming, he turned serious in an instant, and replied calmly: "Even if His Majesty came in person, the witnesses in this case will not be affected." You are all there, and there is no need for a retrial, so stop doing these futile struggles."

   "I didn't expect that the matter of human life and heaven would be so calm in the mouth of the Master Registrar. It is ridiculous to say that it is a futile struggle."

  Chu Nanzhi couldn't help but sneered: "As a parent and official who treats human life like nothing, a woman would like to ask, what should adults believe in?"

   "Don't talk nonsense."

Tan Miao stared lightly, and said sharply: "Mr. Chu, I know you are not an idle person, but just now I also said that there are all evidences in this case, and you should have a basis to appeal for the sinner. Is it not possible for me to allow you to break into the majestic yamen of a county?"

   "Where is the witness, and where is the physical evidence?"

  Tan Miao was stunned on the spot when Chu Nanzhi said what he said.

After a while, he regained his composure, and calmly argued: "Although no one saw it with their own eyes, it is true that the criminal and the county magistrate had a dispute that day. The corpse was also salvaged from the fish pond behind the sinner's house, could it be all just a coincidence?"

   "But what if it's really such a coincidence?"

  Chu Nanzhi immediately asked back: "Could it be that my lord is going to take this coincidence as ironclad evidence?"

"This"

Tan Miao narrowed his eyes in some distress, glanced at Sun Liu's mother and daughter in a trance, and then replied calmly: "The yamen servants found a sharp weapon in the prisoner's house, which is very similar to the wound on Zhu Xiancheng's neck. It matches, there is a motive for the murder, there is physical evidence, and the criminal confessed himself, so there will be no falsehood."

   "But the woman heard that someone was intimidating Sun Wuji's family. He had to admit to this unfounded charge. I'm afraid that the fish-killing knives are similar in all villages. It doesn't have to be his family, right?"

  Chu Nanzhi pointedly argued.

   "Miss Chu, where do you start with your threat?"

Tan Miao looked at Sun Liu's mother and daughter angrily, and said sharply: "This mother and daughter want to cover up the fact that Sun Wuji murdered the imperial court official. It is the county magistrate's and this official's inescapable responsibility to question their mother and daughter. threat."

   "Since it's not a threat, let's bring the criminal to the magistrate to confront him in court. I don't know what your opinion will be?"

  Chu Nanzhi raised his eyebrows, and looked straight at him with an imposing manner.

  Today, as long as Sun Wuji can retract the confession himself, and then insist on the fact that there is no witness, then he can win the chance of a retrial.

   Tan Miao laughed dryly, but an inexplicable fear rose in his heart.

  He has heard of this woman's reputation for a long time. If she overturns the case, the statement he swore before will also be overturned.

Not to be questioned, he glared fiercely at the people around him who were about to help, and then refused righteously: "The court is not a child's play, how can you confront it as soon as you say it, Mrs. Chu, you are neither an official of the court, nor an official. People in the county dare to question the facts of the closed case based on only a few hearsay, without witnesses or evidence, so this is not disrespectful to the official and the county magistrate."

"Your Excellency, the lady is not disrespectful to your lords. Although the lady is not from this county, the law does not stipulate that people from this county cannot hire lawyers from other places if they break the law. There are many doubts in this case. Therefore, since the woman is the criminal's lawyer, she naturally has the responsibility to defend the criminal."

  Chu Nanzhi's eloquent words made it impossible for Tan Miao to refute.

  Indeed, the laws of the Dahe Empire clearly stipulate that as long as criminals cry out for grievances before being executed, they may be retried and sentenced.

  After much deliberation, he had no choice but to compromise: "Since Mrs. Chu insists on this, then please."

As soon as the words fell, he reminded in a somewhat threatening tone: "But Miss Chu, don't blame me for saying the ugly words first. If you don't make a mess today, don't blame me and the county magistrate. The adults will not spare you lightly."

   "My lord please."

  Chu Nanzhi answered with a smile that was not a smile, and stepped into the court with righteousness.
