Xie Zhizhou looked at the laughing Du Qi and furrowed his brows. This was because the current situation was not developing in the direction he expected, nor was it developing in the direction he planned. On the contrary, it had deviated a bit.
Xie Zhizhou even felt like he was being led by Du Qi. He could not control Du Qi.
This was something Xie Zhizhou could not do.
If it were an ordinary person, they would immediately be terrified when Xie Zhizhou slammed the gavel on the table in the hall. In front of Xie Zhizhou, they were already cowering.
Du Qi was different. From the beginning to the end, Du Qi did not show the slightest bit of fear.
Xie Zhizhou gritted his teeth and said, "What are you laughing at?"
Du Qi's expression did not change. After he finished laughing, he said, "County Magistrate Xie, from the beginning to the end, I have never thought about how to do whatever I want. Moreover, the one who does whatever you want is you, Xie Zhizhou. You want to arrest me and torture me because of a disagreement. I, Du Qi, have never broken the law or committed a crime. You directly labeled me as a suspect and even asked me to kneel. Tell me, who is the one who is doing whatever he wants? "
Xie Zhizhou's face darkened.
Du Qi was not easy to deal with.
Xie Zhizhou was about to speak, but Du Qi continued, "The reason I took out His Majesty's token was to protect myself and to avoid being forcibly detained by you. Moreover, I have never used His Majesty's token to do anything. Therefore, if you want to put the crime on my head, I really can't. "
After Xie Zhizhou heard this, he had already extinguished the thought of asking Du Qi to kneel.
It was definitely impossible to make Du Qi kneel.
Xie Zhizhou said in a deep voice, "Du Qi, no matter how you quibble, you ordered Cui Yixiong to kill Chen Fa. You can't quibble about this matter. "
Du Qi took back the token and said, "County Magistrate Xie, you have racked your brains to try and convict me of a crime! Unfortunately, I, Du Qi, am not a person who will submit. I, Du Qi, will never submit. "
After a short pause, Du Qi continued, "You said that I ordered Cui Yixiong to kill Chen Fa, regardless of whether this is true or not. Now, let's talk about Cui Yixiong's testimony. He reported me that I told the restaurant's security to beat anyone who came to the restaurant to cause trouble. and kill them. Just from this matter alone, do I have the suspicion of being an instigator? "
"Since it's an instigator, there was a target."
"But from what he said, he didn't seem to be targeting Chen Fa in any way. Therefore, from this matter, the word 'instigate' can't be considered. I have no intention of dealing with Chen Fa. "
Du Qi sternly said, "Therefore, County Magistrate Xie's accusation that I instigated Cui Yixiong to kill people is not valid. There's a problem with the way you're interrogating him. "
Xie Zhizhou's's.
Du Qi's mouth was really sharp!
Xie Zhizhou took a deep breath and his expression turned solemn as he said, "No matter what, it was you who said those words that caused Cui Yixiong to kill Du Qi. It was you who told the restaurant's guards to wantonly beat anyone who came to the restaurant to cause trouble. This way, you could guarantee that the restaurant would not have any problems. "
Du Qi smiled and said, "County Magistrate Xie, now we are talking about another matter. According to Cui Yixiong's words, when my restaurant was established, I told all the guards that anyone who came to cause trouble could be beaten to death. I also told them that I, Du Qi, had some background and so on. But I, Du Qi, still do not admit to such words. "
"The reason is very simple. I never said such words."
Du Qi's eyes fell on Cui Yixiong. He said, "Cui Yixiong, raise your head. Tell me, have I ever said such words in front of me?"
"Yes, you have!"
Cui Yixiong paused for a moment. There was a frown between his eyebrows. But immediately, Cui Yixiong gritted his teeth and continued, "Young Master Du did say such words."
"Hahaha …"
Du Qi could not help but laugh. He said, "I thought that you, Cui Yixiong, were a tough person who knew how to repay kindness. But I never thought that I, Du Qi, was blind to have raised an ingrate. "
Cui Yixiong lowered his head and said no more.
He did not have the guts to say anything.
Xie Zhizhou took over and said in a deep voice, "Du Qi, you don't have to threaten Cui Yixiong. It was because of what you said that Cui Yixiong killed Chen Fa. So, in the end, it was you, Du Qi, who was arrogant, despotic, and self-righteous. It was you, Du Qi, who thought that you had such a background, so you dared to be so unscrupulous. "
Du Qi said seriously, "County Magistrate Xie, I'm afraid it's not appropriate for you to say that!"
Xie Zhizhou said, "What's wrong with it?"
Du Qi said in a deep voice, "What's wrong with it? Don't you know it, County Magistrate Xie? After all, County Magistrate Xie is the County Magistrate of Chang 'an County. To be able to become the County Magistrate of Chang 'an County, County Magistrate Xie can be said to be the role model among the County Magistrates in the world. "
"But County Magistrate Xie's words are disappointing. Because you don't even have the basic qualities of a County Magistrate. You only interrogated Cui Yixiong, or rather, Cui Yixiong said those words under your instructions. "
"Did you interrogate the rest of the people?"
"Cui Yixiong was not the only one in the restaurant. There were many other guards in the restaurant. Did you interrogate them and ask them if I said those words?"
"It's too perfunctory to determine the nature of the case just because of one person's words."
Du Qi said, "County Magistrate Xie, how did you get the position of Chang 'an County Magistrate? Could it be that you spent money to bribe people and used your connections to become the Chang 'an County Magistrate? "
Swish!
Xie Zhizhou's expression suddenly changed.
Even though he managed to recover in a short period of time, this scene was still witnessed by many people. Because Xie Zhizhou's position of Chang 'an County Magistrate was because he used the connections of the Eastern Palace.
It was precisely because he was a member of the Eastern Palace that he had to deal with Du Qi.
This was to get closer to the Eastern Palace.
But Xie Zhizhou's expression quickly recovered. Xie Zhizhou looked serious and said, "Du Qi, don't make irresponsible remarks. You must know that you are slandering me. "
Du Qi said, "I am slandering you. What's wrong with that? County Magistrate Xie, why don't you immediately submit a memorial to His Majesty to ask for a review of this matter and investigate the matter of me slandering you? I am not afraid of an investigation. In short, I have no objection to a confrontation in the main hall, or to the Supreme Court or the Censorate to intervene. "
Du Qi said righteously.
Xie Zhizhou snorted and said, "Du Qi, don't be unreasonable. Today's matter is the arraignment of Cui Yixiong's murder case. Cui Yixiong was instructed by you to kill Chen Fa. This is the case. "
Du Qi said indifferently, "Didn't I say just now? I don't dare to admit the word 'instructed'. "
As he said this, Du Qi turned around and looked at the crowd outside. He nodded slightly. Liu Jian, who was watching from the side, had already turned around and left.
Du Qi turned around and faced Xie Zhizhou again. He said, "County Magistrate Xie, since we are back to the topic, I still have to say what I said just now. If you want to convict me, you have to interrogate the rest of the people. You can't arbitrarily slander me just because of Cui Yixiong's testimony alone.
Otherwise, I will sue you for slander. You saw the token in my hand just now. I can enter the palace and have an audience with His Majesty at any time. When the time comes, I will mention it to His Majesty. "
Du Qi threatened him.
Xie Zhizhou's cheeks twitched.
At this moment, he felt that he was in a dilemma. Originally, Xie Zhizhou thought that even if Du Qi was smart, he was still a child. But now, Xie Zhizhou knew that things were not easy.
This matter was extremely troublesome.
