After she became a county magistrate, she took the ghost to investigate the case

When Xu Yingying was squatting on the ground, everyone thought she was just scared silly.

Only Li Siqi, who was closest to her, saw her mumbling to herself.

He shook his head helplessly: "It seems that the young county magistrate is seriously ill. I have to leave as soon as possible."

Soon Shen Min and Zhang Qiang were brought over.

Zhang Qiang was born with a big belly and his steps were unsteady at a young age. There were dark circles under his eyes, and it was obvious that his body had been hollowed out by years of indulgence in alcohol and sex.

Seeing that the county magistrate did not kneel down, he happily picked his teeth and asked nonchalantly: "What do you want me to do?"

"You beast, I'm going to kill you!"

As soon as the female ghost saw him, she was filled with hatred. The yin energy around her surged, and her black nails quickly grew longer as she attacked Zhang Qiang.

"quiet!"

Xu Yingying calmly slammed the gavel and threw a sign over, right in the direction of the female ghost.

These ghosts were most afraid of things in the court, so she was so scared that she immediately calmed down and hid herself.

This time the sign hit Zhang Qiang's fat head right on top, leaving a big bump.

"Why did you hit me, you sissy?" Zhang Qiang was so angry that he jumped up and down, and it seemed that he didn't take the county magistrate seriously at all.

Xu Yingying sneered: "You refuse to kneel before an official and show contempt for the court. Beating you is the least of my punishment!"

Zhang Qiang narrowed his eyes: "You are asking for your life, but you know my identity. My uncle is the prefect of Xuzhou. Believe it or not, I will let him arrest you and put you in jail!"

Xu Yingying was really frightened.

The main reason is that he is afraid that his daughter’s identity will be exposed.

She frowned, and under Zhang Qiang's smug gaze, she slammed the gavel and sneered, "I think you are the one who is not willing to die. You openly threaten me in court. Someone, come! Slap your face!"

Anyway, she won't be the county magistrate for many more days, so why should she be afraid of him?

However, this courage and boldness impressed Li Siqi, who was recording the case.

Zhang Qiang's eyes widened, his face full of disbelief.

Seeing several yamen runners coming forward and looking like they were really going to attack him, he was so scared that his legs went weak and he knelt down.

"Excuse me, my lord!"

Xu Yingying snorted coldly, then retracted her gaze and looked at Shen Min next to her.

Shen Min knelt down towards Xu Yingying without any hesitation.

He was quite handsome, tall and thin, but now his face was pale and his eyes were full of loss, which made him look even thinner and more pitiful.

"Sir! I, Shen Min, would like to sue the bully Zhang Qiang for forcibly seizing my fiancée and brutally killing her after failing to insult her. I beg you to make the decision!"

After saying this, he kowtowed solemnly to Xu Yingying.

The female ghost circled around him. She didn't look sad. Instead, her pair of black pupils without whites revealed a bit of confusion.

Xu Yingying narrowed her eyes slightly, looked around, and finally asked Zhang Qiang: "Zhang Qiang, according to the confessions of the two people, the person was raped and killed by you. Do you admit your guilt?"

"Bullshit!" Zhang Qiang jumped up in anger: "Do you think she is some kind of celestial being that I care about her so much?"

"What do you mean by rape and murder? Last night, I was knocked unconscious for no apparent reason and left outside all night, and I still haven't asked anyone to settle the score with me!"

Xu Yingying looked at him fiercely: "Then where were you last night? And why did you appear in front of Taohua's house?"

Zhang Qiang opened his mouth and said, "I slept with Miss Cuilan in Yihong Courtyard. Your Excellency, do you want to interfere with this?"

"Really?" Xu Yingying sneered: "Then tell me when you entered Yihong Courtyard and when you slept with Cuilan. What did you say and do together? Tell me everything. Don't hide anything!"

"What kind of logic is this?" Zhang Qiang's eyes dodged: "What else can I do with a woman? Of course I go to bed with her. Do you even want to hear what position we use?"

"Yes!" Xu Yingying said calmly.

Zhang Qiang was no longer calm. He gritted his teeth and stammered, "I... I went to Yihong Courtyard at noon and went directly to Cuilan's room. We drank some wine, talked for a while, and then went to bed together. We tossed and turned for most of the night..."

"Really?" Xu Yingying stood up, walked to Zhang Qiang, and looked at the wound on the back of his head. It was indeed caused by a heavy blow.

She sneered and pressed hard on the wound, causing Zhang Qiang to scream in pain.

"Did Cuilan scratch you with this wound?"

Zhang Qiang's face was purple and he looked very unhappy: "No... no!"

Xu Yingying turned to look at Shen Min again: "Did you type this?"

Shen Min gritted her teeth and said, "I don't know what the adults are talking about. My mother fell ill last night and I have been at home taking care of her."

"Then where did the blood in your body come from?" Xu Yingying asked sharply.

Shen Min was startled and hurriedly covered the corner of his clothes.

Xu Yingying sneered, walked back behind the desk with her hands behind her back, and slammed the gavel.

"How dare you, a rude and unruly person, deceive me! Come! Punish me!"

Zhang Qiang screamed, "Stop, stop, stop! I'll tell you everything!"

"Last night... I did climb over the wall into Taohua's room, and... I forced her to sleep with me, but halfway through, someone knocked me out with a club, and then I didn't know anything!"

When Taohua Niang heard this, she burst into tears: "You beast! You bastard! My son... my son... you have suffered!"

Taohua couldn't help but cover her face and cry.

Xu Yingying pressed her brows and her cold eyes fell on Shen Min again.

"Do you have anything to say?"

Shen Min closed her eyes, as if she was enduring humiliation and had made a great determination before she said, "To answer your question, Taohua did tell me before that Zhang Qiang, that beast, forced her to humiliate him many times. I was trying to save people last night..."

"Although I did attack Zhang Qiang out of rage, Zhang Qiang's servants and guards quickly rushed in and pinned me down, beating and kicking me on the ground, and even hitting Taohua in front of the villagers..." He closed his eyes here, as if he could no longer speak.

"Later, Taohua refused to obey and even injured Zhang Qiang. He also knocked me unconscious. I don't know what happened afterwards... Sir! I think it was Zhang Qiang who had a grudge against Taohua and raped and killed her! He strangled Taohua to death!"

After saying this, he opened his clothes to show everyone the scars on his chest.

"Then why didn't you say it just now?"

Shen Min closed his eyes, his body trembling slightly, his face full of pain: "I just want to save face for my fiancée."

Seeing him so affectionate and loyal.

The onlookers couldn't help but comment: "It must be that beast Zhang Qiang who did this!"

"It's so pitiful. They were childhood sweethearts, but now they are separated by the Yin and Yang."

"This Shen Min is so pitiful..."

Only Li Siqi narrowed his eyes slightly, and a sharp gleam flashed in his dark eyes.

There was a chorus of sighs, but Xu Yingying slammed the gavel and angrily shouted, "How dare you lie to me now? Tell me! Why did you kill Taohua?"

Shen Min's pupils suddenly shrank.
