Chapter 1836: As expected of the PrincessEditor: Henyee Translations

"Wait."

Shao Qingyuan interrupted the county magistrate before he could finish.

"Lord Shao, do you have any questions? Do you have any suggestions for the final sentence?" The county magistrate had a smile on his face, and his attitude was extremely humble. He looked like he would do as Shao Qingyuan said and give Li Zhi a death sentence without any objection.

Shao Qingyuan was amused. This county magistrate still wanted to frame them for being unrighteous at this juncture.

He smiled and said, "Lord Mao, were you going to announce the results just now? Aren’t you being a little too hasty? This, although I’ve never seen a trial, I’ve heard it from the side. Before announcing the results, shouldn’t there be conclusive evidence to convince everyone? This Li Zhi hasn’t confessed and hasn’t seen the evidence. It doesn’t seem to be in accordance with the rules to sentence him, right?"

The county magistrate was speechless. You’re pretty smart.

However, Gu Yundong, who was at the side, directly tore away the plan in his heart. "That’s right. County Magistrate Mao made such a simple decision, and you couldn’t wait to convict Li Zhi after I revealed my identity. If word gets out, people will think that I used my power to suppress others and force you." As he spoke, he turned around and asked the citizens outside the hall, "Isn’t that right?"

"Yes."

"Princess, you’re right. How can there be no evidence during the trial?"

"Princess, you’re indeed a princess. You’re indeed sensible. Although you have a noble status, you didn’t bully others. This Li Zhi committed a crime. The first thing you did was send him to the government office for the county magistrate to judge. According to the procedures of our Dajin Dynasty, you’re wise."

"Princess and her husband are magnanimous. They are serving the public and upholding justice for us commoners. We won’t misunderstand you. Don’t worry."

The county magistrate almost couldn’t maintain the twisted expression on his face. These bootlickers. Didn’t we know that the people in the county were so good at talking?

He raised his chin slightly to see who was speaking.

However, after looking for a long time, he did not see anyone speaking.

At this moment, Tong Shuitao, who was worried about Old Madam Yang, rushed over to investigate the situation. She lowered her head slightly and hid her achievements.

The county magistrate heaved a sigh of relief and said to Shao Qingyuan awkwardly, "Indeed, according to the normal procedure of the trial, there should be evidence first. However, no one saw Li Zhi poisoning Yang He. Yang Zhifu is just guessing. They have a personal grudge against each other, so he can’t be a witness."

Yang Zhifu was furious.

The county magistrate pretended not to see it and continued, "If there’s no evidence to convict him, we can only let Li Zhi go back first."

Shao Qingyuan shook his head and looked disappointed. "I didn’t expect that after being a government official for so many years, County Magistrate Mao couldn’t even see the evidence in front of him."

The county magistrate was stunned. "Evidence in front of me?" What did this guy mean?

The others present were also confused, and the commoners outside the hall looked at each other.

However, there were also buzzing sounds, probably saying that the county magistrate was not very smart and could not even understand the case.

The county magistrate gritted his teeth and suppressed the anger in his heart. He turned around and asked Shao Qingyuan humbly, "Mr. Shao, where is the evidence? Who are you referring to? Is it you... Mr. Shao?"

If you dare to admit it, try it.

However, Shao Qingyuan shook his head. "Of course not."
