Chapter 547: Chapter 547: Abnormality
This is a case of innocent bystanders falling victim to the gods’ quarrel!
Although it’s expected to be loyal to one’s superiors, it’s better to avoid getting involved in situations where you’ll clearly end up getting beaten and won’t gain anything!
“Come on! Whoever dares to step up today, don’t blame me, Di Yelei, for disregarding our brotherly bond!”
Di Yelei’s momentum is soaring! He feels the return of his power!
Wherever his gaze passes, the governmental office’s runners automatically back off.
Just as the situation is about to spiral out of control, Xin Quan, who has been sitting quietly to the side finally speaks up.
“Ahem! Stop fighting!”
Although Di Yelei seems extremely irritable, he has been closely monitoring the surroundings all along.
As soon as Xin Quan speaks, Di Yelei stops his actions.
“Lord Xin Quan, you, in collusion with the Su County Magistrate, have committed corruption and bribery. During your temporary management of the armory, you embezzled the silver funds allocated by the imperial court. Now you are conspiring with Su County Magistrate to frame up a loyal man. What crimes should you be punished for?”
“Oh… there’s such a thing?”
“My goodness! They even dared to embezzle the silver allocated by the imperial court…”
“Release him! Let Lord Di go! Release him…”
The outcry and condemnation of the civilians outside grows louder and louder, gradually forming a huge wave.
“Silence! Silence!”
County Magistrate Su knocks on the wooden block: “Whoever makes any more noise and interrupts my trial will be charged as an accomplice! Arrest them immediately and lock them up in prison for ten days to half a month!”
With his knock on the wooden block, the chaotic governmental office’s runners hastily abandon Di Yelei, stand in two neat rows, and start banging on their killing rods!
The unique oppressive atmosphere in the court room returns.
Naturally, Di Yelei won’t confront Su County Magistrate in front of so many people. After the sound of the wooden block, he stands coldly in place, not speaking or moving.
Even though it’s early spring in March, Su County Magistrate is sweating profusely!
He takes out a handkerchief, wipes his sweat haphazardly, and throws it carelessly on the desk, holding back his anger.
“Bring the corpse of the victim!”
As Su County Magistrate’s words fall, two people below lift the victim’s corpse up.
Since the deceased was Su County Magistrate’s niece, the body was not dragged into Yizhuang like ordinary people’s but placed in an ice cave.
At the moment it’s brought out, the body is covered with a thin layer of frost.
What follows is naturally a series of standard procedures, the forensic doctor explaining the situation of the deceased, and subsequently summoning the witnesses present at that time.
As everyone takes the stage, Mrs. Su and her sister-in-law cry and make a scene in the court room.
Liu Sisi watches everyone’s performance with cold eyes, not saying a word.
Also smiling without speaking is Di Yelei!
Only after everyone’s excellent performance is over, Di Yelei coldly snorts.
“County Magistrate Su, you are both the chief judge and the grieving party. Even if you forcefully fabricate evidence to close the case today, will you really pass the inspection by the Patrol Imperial Envoy with such an excuse?”
“You scoundrel! Di Yelei, you were clearly caught red-handed with both the person and the evidence and still dare to argue? Guards! Give me the Official thirty hits of the boards first!”
