The Female Assistant of Wei Yuyan Shuangfei

In the main hall of Laigu County, with Xie Tingwen's repeated questioning, Han Qi was speechless for a while. He felt regretful but could do nothing about it.

He immediately made up his mind and ran headfirst into the pillar of the main hall. This situation made everyone doubt his identity.

The suspect died, and Xie Tingwen immediately pointed the finger at Qian Ming. After a round of reprimands, Qian Ming finally couldn't stand the pressure, and explained the matter clearly while asking for it.

He sold a legal identity to Han Qi for twenty taels of gold, which was equivalent to only four thousand strings of silver.

According to the "Laws of the Great Song Dynasty", anyone who gave or received bribes exceeding ten strings of cash would be punished by exile; anyone who gave or received bribes exceeding fifty strings of cash would be exiled three thousand miles away; anyone who gave or received bribes exceeding one hundred strings of cash would be reported to the Ministry of Justice, and most of the time the penalty would be execution in the autumn.

"Sir! I know I'm in the wrong. I beg you to show mercy." Qian Ming continued to beg for mercy, and his words could not hide his desire to survive.

Xie Tingwen ignored him, his eyes were stern, and the sound of a gavel made his originally restless heart rise to his throat.

"The prisoner in the hall is Qian Ming, the head of the Gu County Household Office. I am waiting for your judgment."

As soon as Xie Tingwen finished speaking, three groups of yamen runners in the main hall shouted "mighty". The originally solemn main hall of the county government now showed a sense of majesty.

"Crack!~"

The bailiff was startled by the sound of the gavel and stopped talking immediately.

Xie Tingwen stood up slowly, glanced at everyone in the main hall, and said loudly: "I hereby declare that Qian Ming, as the head of the household registration office, forged the household registration and accepted a bribe of 20 taels of gold. According to the Great Song Law, Qian Ming is sentenced to be executed in the autumn. The official document is with you and will be submitted to the Ministry of Justice."

As Xie Tingwen spoke, he waved his hand, and the bailiffs on both sides hurried forward and put heavy shackles on Qian Ming.

"Boss Sun! Let him sign." Xie Tingwen said coldly.

"Yes!~"

Sun Cheng responded, tremblingly wiping the cold sweat from his forehead, placed the document in front of Qian Ming, and said softly: "Sign it!"

Qian Ming knew that he was powerless to save the situation. He looked at Xie Tingwen with a sneer on his face and said, "My lord! I plead guilty, but don't be too happy too soon. I will wait for you in prison. Hahaha!"

Qian Ming laughed wildly, picked up the pen and signed his name, then was dragged out of the main hall by the bailiffs.

Outside the government office, a crowd of spectators could not help but applaud: "Thank you, sir, you are so powerful. You have done a good thing for Laigu County."

"Finally, this cancer has been eliminated. Thank you, sir, for your great efforts."

There were constant shouts and praises outside the door.

The heads of the courtyard were sweating profusely at this moment, and their alarm bells were ringing. With the previous experience of Han Shu in Hanjiazhuang, they realized that this melon was not delicious.

"Crack!~"

Xie Tingwen slammed the gavel again and said loudly, "Silence."

"Mighty." The bailiff said hurriedly in a deep voice.

As the water and fire sticks beat the ground rhythmically, the noise outside the door gradually subsided. Xie Tingwen glanced at Zhang Yuan and did not pronounce a verdict, which made him feel quite tormented.

"Sir! I made the mistake first, but I have never accepted bribes. Can I leave the court?" Zhang Yuan asked tremblingly.

Xie Tingwen's face darkened, and a sly smile appeared on the corner of his mouth as he said, "No hurry! I still need Zhang Shuli to help me with the next case."

"I am deeply terrified. It is my honor to be able to share your worries." Zhang Yuan knelt on the ground and said.

He deliberately lowered his head to avoid looking at Xie Tingwen. He was afraid that the other person would see a trace of fear on his face.

Xie Tingwen looked at the trembling Zhang Yuan, slammed the gavel and said, "Someone! Bring the Ten Evils of Mangdang Mountain to the court."

Soon, several yamen runners came into the hall with three men with disheveled hair, shackled hands, and swollen legs.

They were all big and strong, with fierce looks on their faces, and they were definitely not good people. Several people in the courtyard had already noticed something was wrong, and each of them looked for someone they knew to confirm their guess.

"Manager Ding! Do these three people look like the bailiffs from the county government?" someone asked in a low voice with a puzzled look on his face.

The middle-aged man who was replaced by Shopkeeper Ding took a close look at the three people and said in amazement: "Shopkeeper Xu! If you hadn't told me, I wouldn't have noticed. Isn't the one on the far left Zhang Xiu?"

"Hey! Shopkeeper Ding, you figured it out too." One person was quite surprised and said, "The other two seem to be Wu Chu and Chen Xiong."

"Yes!" Shopkeeper Ding nodded repeatedly.

Zhao Zhen and Yan Shuang didn't understand what was going on and were just listening obediently. However, when they learned that the Ten Evils of Mangdang Mountain were yamen runners, they were quite surprised.

"Crack!~"

Xie Tingwen slammed the gavel, bringing everyone's thoughts back.

He looked at the three people kneeling on the ground with angry eyes and said coldly, "Do you know your crime?"

Chen Xiong, the more burly of the three, proudly puffed out his chest and said, "What crime have we committed? Please tell me clearly, sir."

"What a sharp-tongued bandit! You are three of the ten evildoers in Mangdang Mountain. You committed many crimes back then, and half a month ago you wantonly killed fifty or sixty innocent people in the Red Maple Forest. Today you dare to question me about your crimes. Do you really think I can't deal with you?"

Chen Xiong glanced at Xie Tingwen sarcastically, his face showing no fear at all, and he said loudly: "The word 'official' has two mouths, it's all up to you, sir. If you want to accuse me, the three of us brothers will not accept it."

"You are so dissatisfied, I will make you convinced."

Xie Tingwen sneered, took the stack of letters on the documents, threw them heavily on the ground and said, "If you want evidence, I will satisfy you. Take a good look at the evil things you have done. With such behavior, you still dare to say that you are innocent?"

The three of them picked up the letters on the ground with different expressions. After checking them, their expressions changed again and again.

From the initial shock to disbelief, the three of them finally collapsed to the ground as if all their strength had been drained.

Seeing the three people's reactions, they conceded that what Xie Tingwen said was true. Everyone in the courtyard was terrified at this moment.

Compared to the frightened expressions of the people in the courtyard, Xie Ningzhi, who was behind the screen in the main hall, looked puzzled and asked, "Little sister! What evidence did you find to make these three people accept their fate?"

Xie Shuting smiled without saying anything, then cast a look at Li Shixian. Xie Ningzhi naturally understood such an obvious action.

"So it was Miss Li who did it. I wonder how Miss Li did it?" Xie Ningzhi asked with a puzzled look on his face.

"I have been tracking down all ten of them for five years. Not to mention their preferences, I know every character of them by heart. This bit of evidence is nothing to me."

"Miss Li is truly chivalrous and righteous. Ningzhi admires her. Please accept my greeting."

"People in society don't care about these little details." As Li Shixian spoke, she hurried forward and helped Xie Ningzhi up. After all, the other party was Xie Shuting's brother, and she couldn't afford such a big gift.

The three people in the main hall looked at the evidence in their hands, knowing that they could not escape death this time. They looked at each other and immediately made a plan.
