"mighty……"

On both sides of the court, a group of yamen runners dressed in black soap clothes shouted in a low voice, making the place full of majesty and dignity.

The magistrate Wang sat upright in the middle, wearing a green public uniform, embroidered mandarin ducks, and matched them with the head of the foot.

"Bang!"

The gavel fell heavily.

Magistrate Wang bowed his head and shouted, "Who is in the hall?"

"Mr. Fang Zheng, I have met the adults."

Fang Zheng knelt down and bowed, his voice weak.

Magistrate Wang glanced at Fang Zheng and felt a little familiar, but he didn't expect to see him anywhere.

Without thinking about it, he continued to ask: "What happened last night? Tell me in detail."

"yes."

Fang Zheng's eyebrows slightly drooped and said, "Last night, the villain went to the Gengfang to work. He passed through Limin Lane and met two people chasing Zhang Chuwu."

"After that, the villain beat the gongs and drums to shock the gangsters. He wanted to come to report to the officials, but he did not expect that Zhang Chuwu had evil magic and lost his mind, so he took him to the witch in the west of the city to seek solutions."

“…”

He lowered his head, his voice slow, and he told him about what happened last night one by one.

Except for the explanation of the witch Ma and the things he hid, there was no hiding anything else.

Next to County Magistrate Wang, there is a middle-aged scholar.

When he was in the ghost palace, Fang Zheng had a relationship with him and was known as Master Shao.

After listening to Fang Zheng's description, he said, "What do you mean is that when you arrived at the Mijia Villa, you happened to see Zhang Chuwu holding a sharp blade in his hand, killing someone and setting fire?"

"no."

Fang Zheng shook his head and his voice was stable: "When the villain arrived, he saw the dead and Zhang Chuwu, but he did not see Zhang Chuwu killing and setting fire."

"Oh……"

Master Shao raised his lips, spread his folding fan, and shook his head gently: "What's the difference?"

"no the same."

Fang Zheng replied.

He wanted to defend Zhang Chuwu for a few words, but opened his mouth and finally said nothing.

"Forget it!"

Magistrate Wang waved his hand to interrupt the master's question and said listlessly: "Go down and tell the witch Ma."

"Biography, witch horses!"

Some yamen runners shouted loudly.

Fang Zhengze stood up and left, and was arranged to wait in the side hall.

Not long after, the witch Ma, holding a crutch and trembling body, was also brought in.

"Grandma Ma."

Fang Zheng stood up and bowed.

"Um."

The witch Ma responded casually and sat down aside.

When the yamen runner left, she looked at Fang Zheng and asked slowly, "Tell the yamen that Zhang Chuwu killed the Mi family?"

"No."

Fang Zheng spoke with a calm face.

"hey-hey……"

The witch Ma smiled sinisterly: "What's the difference between what you said just now and what you said? It's just a self-deception!"

“…”

Fang Zheng looked at the other party and said, "Grandma Ma thinks, what should I say?"

"This is your business."

The witch Ma changed the crutch and said, "But, that boy Zhang Chuwu is your friend?"

There seems to be shameless in words.

"He killed someone!"

Fang Zheng looked out the door, his eyes slackened: "There are ten charred bodies in the Mi Family Courtyard, including women and maids, and they all have their lives."

The corner of the witch Ma's lips curled, and his face was full of disdain: "You are quite good at thinking about others."

"Do not do to others what you do not want others to do to you."

Fang Zheng lowered his head, his eyes changed: "The sky is great, the earth is great, and human life is the greatest, and no one can deprive others of their lives at will. This is what my father taught me."

“Pediatric!”

The witch Ma snorted coldly: "You are not old, but your ideas are very mature, like an old master."

"to be honest."

She sighed and said, "I saw you honestly and thought about accepting you as a disciple and passing on your magic."

"But now it seems that you are really afraid to accept the apprentice like you."

Even your friends can betray them, who can guarantee that such a person will not betray them?

Honest and honest is a good thing.

But pedantic is annoying.

Fang Zheng raised his head, his eyes a little confused: "Grandma Ma thinks that even if her friends kill people and kill many innocent people, they still need to cover up?"

"It is not a sin to hide your relatives."

The witch Ma held her crutch and said, "Besides, whoever can't make mistakes, have you not done anything wrong?"

“…”

Zhang Chuwu also said this last night.

Gold has no color, white walls have slight flaws, and no one is perfect. If a square man is naturally a good person, he will make mistakes.

They are all sinners, so what qualifications do you have to blame others?

But he always has different ideas about certain things than others.

Especially when it comes to disregarding human life, it is a bottom line that cannot be accepted after so many years of education.

"Maybe what Grandma Ma said makes sense."

Fang Zheng sighed deeply and said slowly: "It's just that in life, you can't help yourself."

Zhang Chuwu also protected himself, but he couldn't overcome the hurdle in his heart.

How can there be two laws in the world...

"You two!"

The shouting outside the door interrupted the conversation between the two.

A yamen runner walked in and waved to the two: "Come with me, go to the second hall to sign and seal the case, close the case early and go back early."

"Close the case?"

Fang Zheng's heart was thrilled and he hurriedly said, "But Zhang Chuwu caught him?"

"Zhang Chuwu?"

The yamen runner frowned: "What's up to him? Come here just bye. Don't talk so much nonsense."

"yes."

The two looked at each other and nodded to follow.

"In the 17th year of De Ding, the White Lotus Sect monsters caused man-made disasters to disrupt Wuqing County. The constables in the county courts took great force, and even the righteous men helped them to eliminate the monsters."

"How come, the Mi family in the county was slaughtered by demons..."

After reading the case, Master Shao threw it in front of the two of them and urged: "Sign up and write a seal!"

"this……"

Fang Zheng was a little stunned.

This is all the things Zhang Chuwu did to Li Daohua. No wonder he wants to close the case.

The witch Ma's expression remained unchanged and stepped forward to sign and seal it.
