Chapter 28: Your Excellency, I am wronged, vote)

The constables are divided into three "fast classes" among the yamen runners.

You only need to be responsible for summoning defendants, witnesses, detecting criminals, searching for evidence, etc.

But today, because the yamen runners in charge of the cell were transferred away by Ge Shengrun, he asked Jing Mu and Su Gaolang to be in charge of the cell.

After learning about this mission, Su Gaolang was so angry that he almost wanted to beat Ge Shengrun.

But in the end, I calmed down.

This is also thanks to Jing Mu's persuasion.

Only when you can bend and stretch can you hit it with one blow.

If you want to squeeze Ge Shengrun away, you must know yourself and your enemy and find his handle.

Jing Mu and Ge Shengrun came to the cell.

The cell is not big, and the prisoners in it are all criminals of some cases.

The two opened the prison door and walked in, and found that it was dark and cold inside, and the ground was very wet.

Jing Mu looked at both sides and found that the straw and wheat straw were covered with had not been changed for a long time.

Deep in the cell, there was even the smell of feces, urine, feces, and sour water and stinks.

This made Su Gaolang, who had just had a full meal, almost vomited out.

Today their task is to serve the rice to the prisoners.

When they approached the first cell, they found a strong man with disheveled hair roaring: "Don't use sneak attacks if you have the ability, fight with me with real swords and guns!"

Jing Mu looked at the list on the list and knew that this was a bandit. Because he plundered civilian food and killed innocent people, he was arrested by the people from the Three Courts.

Prepare to ask for a death sentence after autumn.

Su Gaolang knocked on the prison door with a spoon and cursed: "What are you quarrels about?! No matter how noisy you eat, you can't eat!"

And the rough man was even more arrogant: "Do you eat your food? Bah! I'm not afraid of death with your grandfather!"

"Go to your mother." Su Gaolang was about to open the prison door and teach him a lesson.

Outside, he was angry with Ge Shengrun, a small class leader, and as a result, he was even clamored by a prisoner inside.

He couldn't bear it.

Jing Mu patted Su Gaolang on the shoulder, pointed to the list and said, "Qiu Hou asked for the killing, don't worry about him, let him release it."

After hearing this, Su Gaolang gave up.

The originally arrogant rough man's face changed when he heard the words "Qiuhou" asking for the killing of the words "Qiuhou".

He started crying with a wow.

"I can't die! I can't die, I don't want to be beheaded..."

How proud you are in front, there is sadness behind you.

Jing Mu then came to the second cell.

The second cell is a young man.

Because of the married woman who coveted her neighbor, she took advantage of her husband's distance and used a drug to take it.

Later, the woman felt ashamed of her husband and jumped into the well and committed suicide.

Jing Mu looked at these case sects and couldn't help but sigh: "I still can't control myself..."

He immediately said to Su Gaolang: "Give him more money."

After hearing this, the young man quickly kowtowed and said thankfully: "Thank you, thank you Lord Guan."

Su Gaolang asked: "Why? It's also the death of the autumn queen?"

"No, I will be sentenced to death in three days."

When the young man who had just held a job heard it, his hands were shaking.

Finally the porridge spilled.

The third cell, the fourth cell...

Until the last cell, Jing Mu looked at the prisoner inside with his back facing away from him and stared at the wall in a daze.

So Jing Mu took out the rice bowl from the prison, served him the porridge, and prepared to leave.

But as soon as he turned around, Su Gaolang shouted: "Ah!!!"

Jing Mu hurriedly looked back.

At this time, he saw the prisoner in the prison grabbing Su Gaolang's ankle.

Su Gaolang was so scared that he broke free: "What are you doing?! Take your hand away!"

"Sir, I'm wronged..."

Jing Mu listened to this sentence and observed carefully.

The prisoner was an old man who was nearly fifty years old, with a bald head and a white beard standing upside down on his chin.

He closed his eyes and opened his mouth, and all his teeth could be seen.

A skinny face is not much different from a skeleton.

When talking, the sound in my throat is like breathing and roaring.

"Do you let go? If you don't let go, I'll step on it!" Su Gaolang saw that he had been holding his feet tightly, making him unable to move.

Jing Mu hurriedly said, "If you have any grievances, you will definitely help if you can help."

At this time, the hand that had been holding Su Gaolang's ankle tightly released!

The old man opened his eyes, and the turbid tears kept spinning in his eyes. He immediately said, "Official, I was really wronged. I didn't kill anyone."

Jing Mu looked at his expression and thought for two seconds, then he said to Su Gaolang: "Gao Lang, open the prison door."

When Su Gaolang heard this, he quickly pulled Jing Mu aside and said, "Open the prison door? No, are you really listening to him talking nonsense?"

He was confident: "Whoever of the prisoners here doesn't say that they are wronged? Brother Jing, I advise you not to get involved in this muddy water."

Jing Mu shook his head and explained, "I can see that he doesn't want to lie."

"How to see it?" Su Gaolang wondered.

Jing Mujian replied: "The lying person will have a volatile look and dare not look directly at the other person. His hands and feet will swing unnaturally, and his brows will also frown slightly."

"Of course, these may be just general examples, but I do see injustice in the eyes of this old man."

When Su Gaolang heard what Jing Mu said, he finally took out the key: "Okay, let's see what kind of injustice this old man has, but maybe he has great skill in deceiving people, so he must be very energetic."

"Okay, don't worry, I'm not that stupid." Jing Mu laughed.

Finally, Su Gaolang opened the prison door.

Jing Mu followed in.

When the old man saw them coming in, he kowtowed and said, "Sir Guan, I am really wronged. I didn't kill anyone."

"Get up first and tell us what's going on." Su Gaolang hurriedly supported the old man.

Jing Mu kept looking at the list.

The list clearly states the crime records.

[Fu Chengye: He was imprisoned for killing people and burning corpses, and was beheaded in the autumn.]

So he looked up at the old man in front of him.

I saw his clothes covered in blood.

This is obviously abusing lynching.

"Do you call Fu Chengye?" Jing Mu asked.

The old man nodded and coughed from time to time.

The breath that gets wheezing when coughing sometimes can't be even carried out.

"The record says that you killed someone and burned the body. Is there anything wrong with this?" Su Gaolang asked after looking at the record.

Although Fu Chengye was tortured by lynching and was worse than death, he was excited to hear this question: "I, Fu Chengye, swear to God! I have absolutely no murder or burning the body!"

"Then why is it written like this in the record? And this is also your picture." Jing Mu asked.

Fu Chengye slowly exposed his arm, then carefully uncovered the clothes on his chest, and said in pain: "If you don't want to, you will be beaten to death if you don't want to..."

Although Su Gaolang grew up in the capital, he considered himself a man of the world and was used to the sword and gun.

But when he saw the blood-stained skin, he couldn't help but widen his eyes in surprise.

Even though Jing Mu experienced so much life and death, he couldn't help but frown when he saw this scene.

Fu Chengye's skin has many wounds, bloodstains everywhere, and some even have scabs.

"I was tortured for ten days and I had no choice but to confess."

Su Gaolang became curious: "Then why do you believe that we will definitely listen to you for grievances?"

"Because, because I found that you are different from them, your eyes are purer than them, so I had to grab Master Guan's feet and ask Master Guan to save me." As he said that, Fu Chengye kowtowed again.

Jing Mu quickly helped him and said, "If you didn't kill someone, we will definitely restore your innocence, but now you must tell us all the story."

"Okay, okay." Fu Chengye wiped his eyes with his ragged clothes and began to speak.

"It started half a month ago..."
