Jing Cheng asked.
Only then did he understand the woman's injustice.
In ancient times, women had no status. When they married, they often took their husband's surname.
Zhang Wang was her nickname.
They were ordinary people who had lived in Qingshui County for generations.
In his early years, his family was considered happy and he had a daughter.
He guarded two acres of land and lived a simple and plain life.
Just two years ago, a man-made disaster changed her entire family.
That day, Zhang Wang's husband brought his fifteen-year-old daughter to the county market to sell vegetables.
He had to earn a few copper coins so that he could go back and support his family.
However, he was chosen by the famous tyrant of Qingshui County, Yin Dafu.
He didn't care and sent his servants to forcefully kidnap his daughter back home.
Her husband was also severely injured because of this. After returning home, his anger could not be extinguished. He fell ill and eventually passed away.
Madam Zhang had lost her daughter and her husband.
His hair turned white overnight.
He risked his life to go to Yin Dafu's residence and ask for his daughter.
In the end, what he got was his daughter's corpse.
Holding the corpse, Mrs. Zhang cried and went to the county government to complain. However, the county magistrate did not have enough evidence and the dead could not testify, so the case was hastily closed.
Now, two years had passed, and Zhang Wang was living in pain every day.
The only reason she had persisted until now was because the resentment in her heart could not be dispelled.
He hoped that one day, he would be able to bring Yin Dafu to justice and pay for the lives of his daughter and husband.
After listening to the entire process.
Both Cheng Yaojin and Niu Jinda were livid with anger.
The county magistrate of Qingshui County was also trembling in fear.
"Dog official, is this the case you solved?”
The county magistrate hurriedly knelt down, almost unable to speak properly.
"Duke, Duke Hui…This case was an unsolved case back then. When Mrs. Zhang brought the female head to report the case, several days had passed. It was difficult to investigate in detail, and there was no evidence.”The county magistrate explained.
"Hmph, dead men can't testify? You can close the case hastily? It's really unfair to say that you're a muddle-headed county magistrate. Could it be that you accepted Yin Dafu's money and ignored it?”
Niu Jinda looked scary to begin with.
Now, with a glare, he looked like a malicious ghost from the netherworld.
The county magistrate was so frightened that he knelt on the ground and trembled.
But then again, it had been two years since the case started.
Perhaps even the corpse of the daughter of the Zhang family had long turned into white bones.
What happened back then couldn't be based on her one-sided statement. If there wasn't any evidence, it wouldn't be good to arrest her directly.
Old Cheng and Old Cow were also troubled by this matter.
"Without a plaintiff, how can we resolve the case?”Cheng Yaojin said.
Lin Xiu, who was at the side, smiled and went forward."State Duke Cheng, General Niu, if you hand this case over to me, do you think I can find a way to find a plaintiff to correct Yin Dafu's crimes back then?”
"Oh?" Cheng Yaojin was stunned.”
"Ascend the hall at midnight!"
For a time, Lin Xiu wanted to attend the court at midnight to re-examine the news of Yin Dafu's kidnapping and murder case.
The news spread throughout Qingshui County.
Qingshui County wasn't big to begin with, so any news that was as big as a fart would immediately spread to everyone.
As for Yin Dafu, the tyrant of Qingshui County.
Naturally, he had heard of it long ago.
"What is it? That Lin Xiu actually wanted to ascend to the Hall at midnight? What are you doing in the hall? Are you trying to interrogate ghosts?”Dafu Yin sneered.
"Duke Cheng and General Niu from Chang 'an are now in the yamen. Magistrate Zhang has also sent constables to inform us that this matter is not false!”A servant lowered his head and said.
"Hmph, that Zhang Clan girl has already been dead for two years. I don't believe that he, Lin Xiu, has such great ability to flip the case back then? No matter, this young master will play with him!”
As soon as he finished speaking, Yin Dafu walked out of the manor with a bang.
Now that Zhang Wang had already reported Yin Dafu.
He couldn't run even if he wanted to.
Moreover, in his opinion, it was impossible to dig up the old case from back then.
It was nothing more than Lin Xiu bluffing.
In fact, there was more than one person who had such thoughts.
County Magistrate Zhang was like this.
Old Cheng and Old Cow were also suspicious.
"This Lin Xiu really has the ability to turn over the old case from back then?”Niu Jinda said doubtfully.
Actually, from the moment he saw Lin Xiu, he didn't think that Lin Xiu had anything outstanding.
Old Cheng didn't mind. He was a boorish man who couldn't read a single word.
But as a person and an official, he was very shrewd.
There was also a little superstition.
Li Shi Min had a dream. He dreamed that a white tiger had saved him and even told him his name.
Now, they had found him.
They really found a person called Lin Xiu.
This couldn't be fake, right?
However, as for what kind of ability he had, he would wait until tonight to see how he tried the case.
"Hahaha, there's no need to be anxious. We'll know when we watch the show tonight!”Old Cheng laughed heartily.
It was midnight.
According to folk legend, this was the time when Yin Qi was at its peak.
And Lin Xiu had chosen to hear Yin Dafu's case at this time.
Many people were speculating.
Could it be that this Lin Xiu really wanted to interrogate ghosts?
In the main hall of the county government.
Two groups of bailiffs stood on both sides.
Old Cheng and Old Cow sat at the side as spectators.
County Magistrate Zhang stood by the side.
Lin Xiu sat in the main hall and looked at the Zhang-shi and Yin Dafu below.
His expression was calm, but there was a faint smile on his face.
"I say, Lin Xiu, can you do it or not? How long have you been waiting here? It's also midnight now. Hurry up and try the case. If you don't try it, I'll go back to the residence to sleep.”Dafu Yin sneered.
Old Cheng and Old Cow didn't speak.
They were now completely hands-off managers.
He just wanted to see what ability Lin Xiu had.
"Yin Dafu, what are you so anxious about?" Lin Xiu sneered. The plaintiff is on his way to the county office and will arrive soon. Your good days are coming to an end!”
"Plaintiff?"
Hearing this, Yin Dafu's expression changed slightly.
The so-called guilty conscience was referring to people like him.
Don't look at him as if nothing had happened.
However, the more relaxed he appeared at this moment, the more nervous he was.
Now that he heard Lin Xiu's words, he was even more afraid.
However, he still pretended to be calm and said,"Hmph, don't say such nonsense. Plaintiff? Where is the plaintiff? Let her out for me to see!"
"Hmph!" Lin Xiu snorted coldly.
At this moment, a gust of cold wind blew.
Then, he heard a voice outside the hall.
A sinister voice sounded,""The vengeful souls are wronged. I beg Lord Judge to seek justice for the vengeful souls!”
,, begging for all kinds of votes, kneel down!
