Shi Sheng was summoned to the court by the yamen early in the morning.
Shi Sheng yawned and looked confused. These people were so annoying that they wouldn't even let him sleep.
There was a woman kneeling in the hall, crying softly. Shi Sheng was even more annoyed by her crying and wanted to kill her with his sword.
Shi Sheng glanced at her and yawned again. "Why did you summon me to the yamen? To eat breakfast? "
Eat breakfast?
The county magistrate had a deep impression of Shi Sheng. Last time, he dared to give the Regent a hard time and now he was looking down on the court.
"Bam!" The county magistrate slammed his gavel. "How dare you! Why don't you kneel in front of me?"
"Are you worthy?" Shi Sheng rolled his eyes and pointed at a yamen runner. "You, bring me a chair."
The yamen runner was speechless.
Do you think this is an inn and I'm a waiter?
"How dare you!" The county magistrate had wanted to say this for a long time. "Ruan Xiao Yang is looking down on the court. Give her ten paddles first."
Without the Regent, the county magistrate was much more confident and shouted loudly. Everyone in the hall could hear him.
Shi Sheng raised his eyebrows slightly. "Sir, you dare to hit me?"
"Why wouldn't I dare?" The county magistrate was angry. "What are you waiting for? Beat her!"
Shi Sheng took out a brick from nowhere and threw it at the county magistrate. It hit the county magistrate's table with a loud sound.
The county magistrate leaned back with a funny expression.
The whole hall was silent.
Even the woman kneeling on the ground stopped crying.
"Next time, it won't be your table that gets hit, but your head." Shi Sheng clapped his hands and took the chair from the private advisor. He moved to the side and sat down like a boss. "Why did you summon me?"
The county magistrate swallowed hard and looked at the brick for a long time. He slammed the table and shouted angrily, "Ruan Xiao Yang, do you still have the law in your eyes? How dare you hit me!"
She even dared to threaten him. Was Ruan Xiao Yang crazy?
Shi Sheng dug his ears and said fearlessly, "I already hit you. What do you want?"
"How is it? Attacking an official of the imperial court is a capital offense! "The county magistrate was so angry that he slammed the table.
"Oh."
"…" What are you 'oh' for? "Ruan Xiao Yang, how dare you! Beat her!"
He didn't believe that he couldn't deal with a troublemaker.
However, the private advisor waved his hand and told them not to move. He leaned over and whispered a few words into the county magistrate's ear. The county magistrate's expression kept changing.
The Shi Sheng raised his head and looked straight at the county magistrate. "Do you still want to try him?"
The county magistrate was about to order his men to beat this unruly citizen, but he choked back his words. He quickly let out two heavy breaths.
Wait a while before you take care of her.
The magistrate straightened his body and slammed the gavel on the table. "Madam Sun, what grievances do you have? Speak quickly."
Madam Sun, who had just stopped crying, began to sob again, intermittently telling the reason.
Her husband, Sun Ergou, did not return home for a long time last night. Worried, Madam Sun went to look for him. On the way home, she found Sun Ergou, who was already dead.
Madam Sun immediately reported it to the magistrate.
"Sun Ergou was last seen at your stinky tofu shop. There are witnesses. The autopsy results also showed that he died of poisoning. Ruan Xiao Yang, what do you have to say?"
The Shi Sheng was silent. She was being implicated even when she was lying down??
"Where's the physical evidence?"
The county magistrate waved his hand and someone immediately came up with a tray. "This is the residue that was found in the backyard of your shop. It hasn't been cleaned up yet."
The Shi Sheng was still calm. "Oh."
The county magistrate was speechless. You still have the cheek to say 'oh'?
The county magistrate slammed the gavel on the table and questioned in a loud voice, "Why did you murder Sun Ergou?"
The Shi Sheng rolled his eyes. "Then you'll have to ask the person who killed him."
I didn't even know who Sun Ergou was. Why would I kill him?
The county magistrate was burning with anger. "Ruan Xiao Yang, how can you talk nonsense in court? There are witnesses and physical evidence. If you confess, you'll be lenient. If you resist, you'll be punished severely. Why did you murder Sun Ergou?"
"I say …" The Shi Sheng dragged his words. "There were so many people in the shop. Anyone could have poisoned him. Why do you have to say that it was me? Did you take a bribe? "
"Ruan Xiao Yang!" The county magistrate shouted. "Slandering an official of the imperial court is an additional crime."
"Why are you so agitated if you didn't do it? If you don't do anything wrong, you won't be afraid of ghosts knocking on your door … Sir, you have a guilty conscience! " The Shi Sheng looked at the county magistrate with a faint smile.
This county magistrate was not a good person. In the plot, because he took a bribe, he went against the female lead. In the end, his whole family was executed.
"Ruan Xiao Yang, we're talking about you poisoning him. Don't confuse us." The county magistrate calmed down. "Someone saw you poisoning him with his own eyes. Bring a witness."
The witness was one of her shop assistants. When he saw the Shi Sheng, he trembled, lowered his head, and knelt on the ground.
He told the county magistrate in detail when he saw the Shi Sheng and how she poisoned him.
"Alright, I'll take it that you have a point." The Shi Sheng could roughly guess who the culprit was.
"You admit to your crime?" The county magistrate immediately asked.
The Shi Sheng looked at the county magistrate as if he was looking at an idiot. "Now there's a very important question. Why did I kill Sun Ergou?"
Killing a stranger for no reason? Did she have rabies?
"That's what you should say!"
"I can't make it up." The Shi Sheng spread his hands. "You can make one up for me. Or … you can ask the person behind you to make one up for you."
Damn idiot. She dared to use a trick that she had already used once.
The county magistrate's eyes narrowed. "Ruan Xiao Yang, don't talk nonsense here. I won't give you any more face."
"You murderer! Give me back my husband! Give me back my husband!" Madam Sun screamed as she suddenly pounced on the Shi Sheng.
A cold glint flashed across the Shi Sheng's eyes. A dagger slipped out of Madam Sun's sleeve. She held the dagger and stabbed it towards the Shi Sheng's chest.
The Shi Sheng tilted his body and avoided the dagger. He lifted his leg and kicked her wrist. Madam Sun's wrist hurt and the dagger flew out of her hand towards the county magistrate.
The county magistrate was so frightened that he slid down and the dagger stabbed into the chair he was sitting on.
Madam Sun didn't give up even though she had failed. She took out a packet of powder from her sleeve and threw it towards the Shi Sheng. While the Shi Sheng was dodging, Madam Sun took out a whip from her waist and lashed it towards the Shi Sheng.
The Shi Sheng took out his Iron Sword and slashed the whip horizontally. A section of the whip immediately broke. While Madam Sun was still in shock, her vision suddenly darkened. Her body flew up uncontrollably and landed on the ground.
It was only at this moment that the yamen runners in the lobby started to move. They surrounded Madam Sun and the Shi Sheng.
"Cough cough …" Madam Sun clutched her chest and spat out blood. She glared at the Shi Sheng murderously.
The Shi Sheng sneered. "You even know how to hire an assassin. It's not like you haven't improved."
The county magistrate was completely dumbfounded. This was not in line with the script!
There was no such scene in the script.
The Shi Sheng raised his Iron Sword and walked towards the Madam Sun.
The Madam Sun leaned back. There was a hint of panic in her eyes. This woman was different from the people she had met before.
She wasn't surprised, panicked, confused, or angry at all. She was so calm and rational that she didn't seem human.
