Chapter 1223

Fu's body was lying on a stretcher, covered with white cloth.

Xu Jing saw a dead man for the first time. He wanted to see him, but he didn't dare to. He half closed his eyes and only opened a little.

"Open up."

The Yamen officer lifted the white cloth.

Fu's twisted face came out.

Xu Jing was so frightened that he quickly turned his head away and said, "hurry, hurry, hurry, call me."

The magistrate immediately sent people to call for Wuzuo.

After careful inspection, he replied: "the deceased had multiple internal injuries, and his body was obviously blue and purple. He should have been beaten to death."

"When did you die?"

"Last night, at the end of Xu Shi, at the beginning of Hai Shi."

Xia Xi squints her eyes, and she guesses well. Last night she went to the courtyard of Xian Cheng, but she didn't hear Fu's voice, so she suspects that she is dead. I just taught Xu Jing what to say when he met the magistrate.

"There are two people in an empty room in the backyard. Go and bring them."

The officials looked at each other.

"Go

The magistrate ordered.

The two yamen servants flew to the backyard and soon dragged Fu Tong and his servants over.

After being tied up all night, Fu Tong's hands and feet were numb, and his mouth was even more swollen.

He saw Xia Xi at a glance, and all his anger after being tied up all night vented, "smelly girl, your time of death is up!"

His mouth was swollen and his words were vague. It took people a lot of effort to understand what he said.

On the contrary, it was Huzi, who immediately heard that his feet had just moved, and was stopped by Xia Xi, "don't worry, my sister-in-law has a way to deal with him."

The tiger didn't move.

Fu Tong's eyes were burned by his anger, but he didn't realize that Xia Xi was the only one sitting in the hall.

He's still yelling.

"Palm mouth!"

Xu Jing suddenly gave a drink, and the magistrate trembled with fright. Subconsciously, he followed the order, "ah... Palms!"

The Yamen servant holding Fu Tong suddenly released his hand and grabbed his chest collar instead. He opened his bow from left to right, slapping, slapping. The fight was very loud.

The magistrate is so afraid of these people, which shows that they are not small in origin, and the Yamen officers are all masters of the wind. Naturally, they have made great efforts, and blood soon flows out of the corners of Fu Tong's mouth.

Fu Tong was stunned, even forgot to send out the cry.

"All right."

The magistrate spoke out.

The Yamen servant stopped and stepped back. Fu Tong fell to the ground. The servant was frightened and broke away. The Yamen servant went forward to help him, "young master, young master!"

"Don't make noise, or the board will wait on you!"

The magistrate stopped.

The servant shut up immediately.

"Let them come and have a look."

Xia Xi's words fall, the Yamen servant who beat people quickly bend down, lift Fu Tong up and drag him to Fu he.

When Fu Tong was beaten, his eyes turned black and his brain hummed. He was dragged over by the Yamen servant. Before he opened his eyes, he heard the servant exclaim, "little miss!"

Fu Tong tries to open his eyes wide, and the purpose is Fu he's tragedy. He turns his eyes and faints.

The Yamen officer threw him on the ground, just in time to throw him with Xian Cheng.

The county magistrate moved his body in disgust and left him far away.

Xia Xi seemed to think of it, and motioned to Hu Zi to untie him, "Mr. Xian Cheng, tell me, how did your wife die?"

The county magistrate looked calm and fearless. "I should ask you, how did you escape from prison and kill my wife?"

Xia Xi pick eyebrow, "county Cheng adult, this is not see coffin don't cry."

County Cheng a face upright color, "I sit end, line is right, you don't think with identity to pressure me, I will yield."

Xia Xi youyou laughed, "I hope that when the truth comes out, the county magistrate is still so tough."

The county magistrate straightened up.

Xia Xi ordered, "throw people up."

The Yamen officer brought water, poured it on Fu Tong's head and woke him up.

As soon as Fu Tong opened his eyes, he thought of Fu he's tragedy, and he was so scared that he used all his limbs to climb to one side.

Xia Xi's voice rang out, "I ask you, why did Fu he leave with Yin Xiucai?"

Fu Tong's brain is full of Fu he's tragedy. He can't hear Xia Xi's question. He just climbs to one side, and his eyes are full of fear.

Xia Xi frowned.

The Yamen servant who beat people was a smart man. He saw Xia Xi's expression in his eyes and suddenly raised his foot and stepped on the back of Fu Tong's hand.

Fu Tong uttered a scream, people also wake up, panic looked at Xia Xi, mouth open boss, but a word also can't send out.

"I don't seem to be sober. I'll do it again!"

Fu Tong was so frightened that he blurted out his words. He raised the finger that had not been stepped on and pointed to Xian Cheng. His teeth trembled. "Yes, he saw and liked my sister and forced my father and mother."

The county magistrate didn't argue. He just looked at him coldly. Fu Tong shrunk in fright and didn't dare to look at him.

"Magistrate, have you heard me clearly?"

With a cold sweat on his forehead, the magistrate said, "if you hear me clearly, it's because the lower officials are negligent and don't know more about the situation of the lower officials."

"Magistrate..."

The county magistrate was not afraid. "I'm afraid it's not right to judge that the lower officials killed people just by the words of this villain."

"Of course not."

Xia Xi took the words stubble, "everything should pay attention to human evidence and material evidence, how can we convict you so easily?"

Words fall, command yamen servant, "call all servant girls, servants to the hall."

There were not many servants in the county government. Four servant girls and two boys knelt down after they were called.

Xia Xi asked, "who can tell me what you heard yesterday?"

Six people bowed their heads, no one answered.

"Your master is guilty of murder. If you don't say it, you will be accomplices. You will not only be punished, but also be sold cheaply. Do you want to think clearly, say it or not?"

"My lord..."

The county magistrate said to the magistrate, "this is coercion and intimidation. The lower officials will not accept it."

"Don't you agree?"

Xia Xi had a smile on her face, which didn't reach her eyes.

The county magistrate looked at her warily, "of course, I..."

Xia Xi suddenly gets up and kicks him in the heart. Xian Cheng leans back and knocks heavily on the back of his head, making a thump.

They were shocked, and the hall was silent.

Xia Xi sat back, eyes swept over the six people, voice sharp, "I have no patience, just give you a chance, who said, you can get the body of freedom, don't say, twenty board."

Six people's bodies shake into chaff, but they still bite their teeth.

Xia Xi waved, yamen immediately up drag people, a maid psychological collapse, "madam, I said, I said!"

"Speak

The servant girl didn't dare to look at Xian Cheng. She lowered her head and said with trembling teeth, "our wife, she, she was killed by the master."

Boom!

The crowd of onlookers exploded.

The county magistrate has been an official in Pingxi County for many years. The parents of one side of the people are respected by all the people in the county. They can't believe that the magistrate killed his wife.
