The magistrate frowned.
For a moment, he did not know what to do.
It was originally a very simple case.
As long as this old woman recognized the thief, the case would be over.
Who knew that it would turn out like this?
The magistrate looked at the thin man.
"Are you a thief? What excuses do you have for yourself?"
His eyes were filled with ferocity.
The thin man was shocked.
He hurriedly kowtowed and pleaded for justice.
"Magistrate, I really am not a thief. Yesterday, when I was preparing to go home, I saw an old woman shouting to catch a thief.”
"I saw that she was pitiful, so I rushed up to capture the thief. I was only helping, how did I become a thief?”
He raised his head.
Following that, the muscular man reprimanded.
"It's all your fault, you thief! What was the difference between them and rats?”
After shouting.
He lay on the ground and shouted again.
"Please help me!!!”
The robust young man who had been sprayed with saliva.
At this moment, his face was red.
The veins on his hands bulged.
He looked like he wanted to eat the other party.
However, they didn't dare to make any noise in the court.
She gritted her teeth so hard that they made creaking sounds.
The magistrate turned his gaze to the robust youth.
"What do you have to say?"
"Magistrate! I'm not a thief!"
He pointed at the thin man who was lying on the ground.
"The thief is him! When I heard the old woman shouting for help, I didn't think much and chased after him to subdue him.”
"I didn't expect this thief to bite back and frame me!! Please make the decision, Magistrate!”
This was going to be lively.
Both of them said that the other party was a thief.
The only one was Zheng Ren, Old Madam Huang, and she didn't know what the thief looked like.
This made the county magistrate feel a little awkward.
He looked at the advisor beside him.
The advisor shook his head at him.
The entire government office fell into an awkward situation.
It was now the court hearing.
If there were no results, he would appear incompetent.
It would have a huge impact on the reputation of the government office.
He said in a probing tone.
"Why don't we…return the item to Old Woman Huang and let this matter end?”
The magistrate's thoughts were simple.
Since they couldn't solve the case, they could just live in harmony and pretend that this matter never happened.
However, the two men in the hall did not know.
He thought that the magistrate was testing him.
If anyone wanted to close the case easily, it meant that they had a guilty conscience.
The thin man immediately shouted.
"Sir! He was a thief, and as long as they tortured him, they would be able to find the answer!!”
"Sir, I was wronged. He is the thief. This kind of person should be sent to prison!!!”
The magistrate was stunned.
The corners of his mouth twitched.
He regretted using probing methods to solve cases in the past.
Now, he had finally suffered the consequences.
"This…"
Just as the magistrate was in a dilemma…
A young man walked out of the crowd outside the hall.
He shouted loudly.
"Magistrate! I can help you find the real thief!!”
His eyes lit up when he heard the voice.
He looked in the direction of the voice.
He saw a handsome young man dressed in luxurious clothes with white skin.
One look and one could tell that this person was either a scholar or a rich young master.
"Who are you? What can we do?"
Yun Fan stepped forward and cupped his fists.
"I am Ghostfox, a foreigner who came here to study. I can't bear to see someone suffer injustice, so I have come forward to assist the county magistrate!”
The county magistrate, who had a bitter expression on his face.
A smile appeared on his face.
Traveling to study was a very popular academic method in this era.
It was also the symbol of a scholar.
"Good, good, good!" He was so happy that he said three good words in a row.
"I wonder…what method does Mister Ghostfox have?”
At this moment, the bailiffs blocking the way also made way.
"Swoosh…" He opened the folding fan in his hand.
He walked forward and fanned himself while sizing up the two men kneeling in the hall.
A smile appeared on his face.
He turned around and cupped his fists at the Magistrate.
"Magistrate! I have a general understanding. As long as you lend me the drill ground, I can immediately determine who the thief is!!”
Now that he heard it, he raised his eyebrows slightly.
"Why do you need a drill ground to judge a case?"
"One is to prevent the real thief from escaping. Secondly, he wanted to let everyone witness the real thief.”
He stared at Yun Fan for a while.
He realized that it didn't seem fake.
"Pa…" Jin Tangmu slapped his palm.
" Move the drill ground!!"
The drill ground was the training ground of the City Defense Army. The army would also gather here.
It was similar to a stadium, but much smaller.
There were several in Runan City.
After everyone was in position, even some soldiers ran over to watch.
He was also looking at Yun Fan now.
"What should we do next?"
Yun Fan replied with a smile.
"Simple, as long as the two of them run one round on the school field, the slower one will hit the board 10 times, and the answer will come out in a while!”
The magistrate was stunned.
"It's that simple!"
"Yes, sir! It's that simple!"
Although he was a little confused, the magistrate still followed Yun Fan's instructions.
"You two heard it, right? Now, start running around the drill ground. Those who are slow will be beaten ten times!!!”
"Begin!"
When the two of them heard this, the slow one would be beaten 10 times.
He did not dare to hesitate and started to run with all his might.
