The bailiffs were getting closer and closer.
It would be a lie to say that he wasn't nervous. Li Qin was still clear about the power of the staff.
After these forty strokes, he would probably lose half his life.
Moreover, the county magistrate was determined to force a confession out of him. Even if he survived, he would not be able to escape conviction.
Although he had died in his previous life and transmigrated, who knew if he would transmigrate and be reborn this time!
Ding! System detected life-threatening situation
Emergency procedures initiated.
Borrowing Lu Bu's combat power to possess him, time remaining: six hours
Weapon equipped
The Heavenly Halberd was ready, ready to be taken out at any moment.
Host, please ensure the safety of the system
Hearing the notification in his mind, Li Qin was so moved that he was about to cry.
"You still know that I'm the host!"
"What the hell was that last sentence?"
The system's voice sounded. At this moment, it was also a little anxious.
Cut the crap, you bastard!
If you die suddenly, I'll be gone too
Hurry up, these bastards want to kill me
I want their lives
"???"
Why is your system so personified?
He did not have time to think too much. As a warm current spread from his chest, Li Qin felt his entire body filled with strength.
At this moment, he was like an invincible god of war.
Of course, he did not have a daughter who lived in a kennel, nor did he have the ability to become a live-in son-in-law, nor did he have the ability to wave a million troops.
Perhaps there would be one in the future, but that was in the future.
Feeling the boundless power, Li Qin's eyes gradually turned cold. He had never been a soft-hearted person.
Six hours was enough for him to kill this dog official and Madam Qian. It was also enough for him to go to the Lu Public House and take Hou Yulan's head.
As for after killing someone, I'm about to die now. I still have to consider Hammer's future.
At most, he would leave the Tang Dynasty and find a remote place to spend the rest of his life.
Thinking of this, Li Qin was about to summon his Heavenly Halberd.
Right at this moment, a laugh was heard.
"Lord Cui, is this a trial?”
Du Ruhui arrived in time. He slowly walked into the court and stopped the bailiffs who were about to execute him.
Cui Wannian shivered and almost fell under the table.
Du Ruhui was the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, in charge of the Eastern Palace's troops, and was the Emperor's trusted aide. Why would such a person come to a small court?
Cui Wannian hurriedly tidied up his appearance and walked out from behind the table. He bowed and said,""Greetings, Minister."
Li Qin restrained his aura, but he did not let down his guard. Lord Du was here.
He did not know if Lord Du would protect him. If he could not, he would probably have to force his way out.
"This commoner Li Qin greets Lord Du."
Du Ruhui revealed a surprised expression and said,"I was strolling along the street just now and happened to see many people gathered here.”
"So Young Master Li is in a lawsuit.”
"I wonder what this lawsuit is about?"
Cui Wannian was so scared that his palms were sweating and his scalp was numb.
In the previous intelligence, Li Qin only had some friendship with the daughter of the Fang Manor, and did not mention Lord Du at all!
How did he know Lord Du! From the way he addressed her, she seemed to be an old acquaintance!
Li Qin answered frankly,"This Madam Qian accused me of making fake wine and killing her husband."”
"Oh?" Du Ruhui raised his eyebrows and drawled." There's such a thing?”
Then, he walked towards the table. Cui Wannian hurriedly invited Du Ruhui to sit.
However, Du Ruhui waved his hand and moved a chair to sit at the side."Lord Cui, please continue with the investigation. I'm just here to take a look.”
After saying that, he cupped his hands at Li Qin and said,"Young Master Li, I heard that your wine shop has a new dish called Thousand Gold Drunken Wine. I haven't had the chance to taste it yet.”
Li Qin smiled and said," I'm afraid Lord Du won't be able to eat it. With these forty strokes, this brat's body probably won't be able to withstand it."”
As he spoke, he glanced at Cui Wannian, who was sweating profusely.
Cui Wannian's eyes widened. He finally understood what a bullsh * t coincidence was.
This Du Ruhui was obviously here to protect Li Qinlai.
Du Ruhui's eyes turned cold as he smiled at Cui Wannian," Young Master Li, don't worry. I believe that Lord Cui will handle the case impartially."”
Hearing this, Li Qin heaved a sigh of relief. This Lord Du was so adamant about handling the case impartially that his words implied that he wanted to protect him.
Cui Wannian sat on his seat with trembling legs. He looked at Sir Du, who was expressionless.
He picked up the gavel and gently slapped it on the table. It made a slight crisp sound and lost its previous prestige.
"Didn't you eat? Harder!"
At this moment, a loud shout suddenly came from outside the hall, causing the crowd outside the hall to roar with laughter.
It was unknown which onlookers who could not stand it anymore let out a righteous cry.
Cui Wannian's face turned green and white. He was about to berate him when he saw Lord Du trying to hold back his laughter from the corner of his eye.
"Li Qin, the autopsy result is indeed poison. Do you admit your guilt?" he said weakly.”
The difference between admitting guilt and knowing one's guilt was also different, and it was less aggressive.
F * ck, you're such a high-ranking official sitting beside me. You're making me a little unconfident.
"I'm not guilty," said Li Qin.
Since Lord Du was here, it was easy to talk.
Li Qin continued,"The wine I brew is all made from high-quality raw materials that I personally selected.”
"I have a new wine in my residence.”
Cui Wannian looked at Li Qin's arrogant appearance and cursed him in his heart. He was so angry that his teeth itched.
"Alright, then send someone to get some and test it in the hall!”
As soon as he said that, a young man in the crowd turned around and left. This farce had come to an end when Cui Wannian said that.
When settling a case, one should avoid following other people's train of thought.
It was a case without any evidence. The moment Du Ruhui appeared, Cui Wannian was already in a passive position.
"There's no need. I've brought all the wine.”
"Also, I have a surprise for Lord Cui.”
Cui Wannian frowned. Who was this?
Everyone looked in the direction of the voice.
Du Ruhui leaned back in his chair with a smile.
Li Qin completely relaxed and smiled brightly.
It was safe.
Cui Wannian couldn't sit still, and his hand that was holding the gavel couldn't stop trembling.
What the hell is this? I'm not interrogating him anymore. I'm not interrogating him anymore, okay?
It was fine if a small merchant offended the Lu Public House.
Why do you have so many people backing you up? And they're all high-ranking figures.
Outside the court, Fang Xuanling walked over with his hands behind his back. Behind him, Fang Yaoyi smiled, causing the hearts of the surrounding men to ripple.
Ever since Du Ruhui entered the arena, Madam Qian did not dare to speak anymore. When she turned around again, she was instantly scared out of her wits.
Fang clan's servants pushed the two tied up people in and pressed them to the ground.
Fang Xuanling's expression was indifferent as he slowly said,""Tell me, tell everyone.”
