Chapter 10 Looking back in time
The Jiang family worked quickly. It only took half a night to clean up the space. They also spent two days and two nights checking repeatedly to make sure that no clues would be left. Only then did Shi Shiran tell City Master Zeng that it was okay The case was raised to court for another hearing.
The matter was just as Clan Chief Jiang expected. Without evidence, the two of them were in trouble. City Master Zeng could openly cover up for the Jiang family, saying that there was insufficient evidence to convict Jiang Yixing, and even wanted to hold Jiang Li and Yuan Wuxing accountable. Responsibility for harming Jiang Yixing.
The only thing that Clan Chief Jiang didn't expect was that their ancestor Jiang Yixing was still in a coma, and a doctor couldn't tell the reason.
I have ruled that Jiang Yixing is not guilty. If you two do not obey my ruling, you can appeal to the prefect within fifteen days from today.
Jiang Li stepped forward and handed City Master Zeng a piece of paper, as if he had been waiting for this moment for a long time.
This is a complaint.
City Master Zeng felt very unhappy when he saw Jiang Li's calm expression, and was even more unhappy when he saw him taking out a complaint in front of the court.
It was obvious that he had anticipated this outcome before he was promoted to court and had written the complaint early.
But so what, the prefect who will handle this case also rose from the position of Lord of Qingcheng, and also helped the Jiang family cover up the baby theft.
And even if the prefect is a fair person, without any evidence, how can these two ignorant guys sue and win?
…
The Zhou Dynasty was divided into twenty-six prefectures, each with dozens of large cities. Today's Qingcheng belongs to the large cities and is under the jurisdiction of Tianqing Prefecture. Of course, the complaint must be handed over to Gong Peng, the prefect of Tianqing Prefecture. in hand.
After receiving the complaint, Magistrate Gong called Chief Jiang and City Master Zeng, and after asking about the incident in detail, he felt reassured.
…
Zhang Li and Yuan Wuxing, before I go to court, I want to inform you that my decision is final. Unless there is new evidence that may overturn the original decision, you two are not allowed to appeal further. Do you hear me clearly?
Magistrate Gong was sitting in the center of the lobby, with Zhang Li and Yuan Wuxing on one side, and clan leader Jiang on the other. After all, Jiang Yixing was still in a coma, so it was useless to ask him to come up.
Although Patriarch Jiang was expressionless as before, in Yuan Wuxing's opinion, he must be smiling secretly in his heart.
There were dozens of people outside the lobby, much less than before. After all, everyone knew that there was insufficient evidence and Jiang Li and Yuan Wuxing could not win the lawsuit. City Lord Zeng stood among them, ready to watch the excitement.
Clear. Jiang Li replied loudly, and Yuan Wuxing also said clearly.
But before going to court, I want to add one more person as a defendant.
Yes, but this official's decision is still final. You cannot appeal on the grounds of temporary addition of people.
Jiang Li nodded to show his understanding, raised his chin slightly, and stood with his hands behind his back: I want to sue the Lord Zeng of Qingcheng. During his tenure, he abused his power, used power for personal gain, covered up the fact that Jiang Yixing stole the baby, and destroyed important evidence. I want Magistrate Gong to rule. !”
Chief Jiang's heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly felt something bad. If he wanted to sue the city lord, the official who would accept the case needed to be a third-grade official. Magistrate Gong was a third-grade official. This move was legal, but he couldn't understand what Jiang Li wanted to do. Could he sue one more person? Can the city lord win?
He always felt that he had forgotten something.
Clan Chief Jiang was not familiar with the law and did not know Jiang Li's purpose, but City Lord Zeng and Magistrate Gong understood Jiang Li's purpose immediately. The two Nascent Soul monks who did not avoid the cold and heat were instantly covered with a dense layer of blood on their backs. of cold sweat.
I suspect that the most important evidence in this case is that the space where the blood sacrifice to the baby was destroyed was caused by City Master Zeng. I also asked Magistrate Gong to report to the court and apply to trace back the time and restore the scene!
Jiang Li's words broke away the last bit of luck the two had.
This matter will be brought to the court!
They don't have a huge backstage in the court!
Among the nine great dynasties, only the Great Zhou Dynasty dared to establish a country by law, and only the Great Zhou Dynasty had the ability to rule the country by law. The fundamental reason is that the Great Zhou Dynasty is proficient in the way of time and can go against the long river of time!
However, the Law of Time has serious consequences and cannot be used easily. Therefore, the Great Zhou Dynasty stipulates several special circumstances in which the Law of Time can be used. For example, the case has a huge impact on the country, and the case involves the integrity of officials of the seventh rank or above...
And City Lord Zeng is a fifth-grade official.
You are so slanderous! City Master Zeng cursed regardless of his image.
City Master Zeng really wanted to complain. It was the Jiang family that destroyed the space. He could only be considered a witness. How come this kid said it was him who did it?
Jiang Li turned a deaf ear to this.
It doesn't matter whether City Lord Zeng destroyed the space. What matters is that he is the defendant in this case.
Zhang Li, do you really want to apply to the court to trace back time? Governor Gong stared at Jiang Li with cold eyes. He felt that he was being plotted by Jiang Li.
What's more important is that by looking back in time, not only can we see that the Jiang family destroyed the space node, but we can also see that Jiang Yixing practiced magic in that space!
Once Jiang Yixing's practice of magic is exposed, all the people who serve as city lords in Qingcheng will be investigated by the court. By then, none of them will be able to escape!
Yuan Wuxing also realized why Jiang Li allowed the Jiang family to destroy the space node. It turned out that he was waiting here.
I am sure.
Do you really want to apply? Magistrate Gong repeated the question word for word. The momentum of Nascent Soul's peak was released, like a tiger roaring. The government officials were fighting, and the first one couldn't hold it back. , knelt down on the ground, followed by Patriarch Jiang and Yuan Wuxing.
I'm sure. Jiang Li still looked calm, as if he didn't see Magistrate Gong's murderous intention. He even took out the already written application form from his sleeve and put it in front of Magistrate Gong.
Seeing the application form that was still wet with ink, Governor Gong almost lost his temper and wanted to kill Jiang Li in front of the court!
But in the end he didn't dare to take action.
If he takes action now, it will be all over.
Zhang Li, you are very good, you are very good! Magistrate Gong slapped the case with his hands and left angrily. Chief Jiang and City Master Zeng no longer avoided suspicion and followed behind with a sullen face.
As Magistrate Gong went away, the murderous intent gradually faded away, and Yuan Wuxing regained some strength and stood up unsteadily.
Prefect Gong didn't even take any action. He only used murderous intent to scare you like this. After all, you are at the peak of the golden elixir. It's not a shame. Jiang Lihen laughed and scolded.
Yuan Wuxing smiled bitterly: Senior Zhang, Magistrate Gong is at the peak of Nascent Soul. Faced with that level of murderous intent, the Golden Core stage cannot withstand it.
Jiang Li curled his lips and said: Excuse, I killed the Nascent Soul peak when I was at the peak of the Golden Core.
Yuan Wuxing was stunned, and it took him a long time to say: Senior is very skilled.
Yuan Wuxing really admires Jiang Li. You see, as a Taoist, his status is even half higher than that of the prince of Zhou Dynasty. Officials of the first and second ranks will greet him with a smile when they see him, but he is so stunned. With this identity, he will drive the Jiang family to death step by step according to the laws of Dazhou!
sharp!
