Chapter 934 Solving the Case (Part 2)

The remaining qi machines are all mortals. Even if they are suppressed by official luck, they will not reach the level of disturbing Wu Yi.

Wu Yi played back the events he had deduced in front of the female ghost like a slide, and said: "If there are any discrepancies, you might as well point them out!"

The confident tone and plain face made the female ghost hesitate for a moment. She was finally willing to speak and said: "Why do you want to help me!"

"I'm not helping you, I'm helping myself!" Wu Yi replied.

The female ghost knows that Wu Yi intends to use his case to make a fuss, but so what. Compared with redressing his injustice, it doesn't matter even if he is used by others. She is worthy of being used by others, which also shows that the other party will not fool her.

Next, the female ghost took the initiative to verbally describe the course of the case. A personal narrative may not be completely correct, and a one-sided observation is not comprehensive. However, after all, the oral narrative of the person involved is of high value and helped Wu Yi improve his deduction.

Wu Yi, who was just eating melons at first, learned a piece of news from the female ghost, which was not big or small, but was absolutely beneficial to Wu Yi at the moment.

This case is not a particularly complicated one. This woman was originally a good family girl from the countryside. Shen Congyue was called Shen Congyue. As her name suggests, she was a law-abiding woman.

She was just sitting at home, and misfortune came from the sky. She was just helping her father go to the city to sell vegetables, but she was noticed by the county captain who was out on inspection. He first tried to clean up the city and forced the woman to serve him, otherwise he would not be allowed to set up a stall.

Unable to do so, he threatened the lives of his family members. Shen Congyue originally thought that the other party was just a threat and did not dare to carry out the plan. Unexpectedly, the county captain was so bold that he detained Shen Congyue's parents in the county government office on a false accusation.

In fact, it cannot be said that the charges were fabricated out of thin air. The harvest in Chenliu County has been poor in recent years, but the county magistrate continued to collect taxes from the people while asking for tax exemption.

The purpose of bullying the superiors and hiding from the inferiors is to make up for past shortcomings. In the past, the county government was lavish and owed a lot of money to the local wealthy households. If the year was good, they could still make ends meet. However, if the year was not good, the secret would be revealed instantly, and it would be impossible to suppress it. .

The county magistrate has a good grasp of his methods. He will not send anyone to investigate a small disaster. Even if he does an investigation, he will manage everything and make good accounts, he can still fool the people. Even if the people below are affected by the disaster, not many people will starve to death, and it will not lead to a civil commotion. , risks are controllable.

In the end, the gentry's money was returned in full, and the common people's money was divided into 30/70. Be the county magistrate! No one comes here just to make money.

However, as mentioned before, the annual cost of Chenliu County is not good. How can it be such a simple matter to impose taxes.

If you don't pay taxes, you may be oppressed by the government and die. If you pay taxes, you may starve to death immediately. To choose between the two, it is naturally better to fight against the government.

The people's resistance to taxes did not just happen once or twice. Almost every household has this "dark history", and the same goes for Shen Congyue's family.

Is this a crime? Regardless of whether it was a crime or not, it was still an excuse. Not only Shen Congyue's parents, but also other people were detained, just to scare the monkeys.

In the eyes of the Chenliu County magistrate, resisting taxes is naturally a sin, but if he takes a longer-term view and deceives the magistrate, the sin is obviously more serious.

What is good above will be replicated below. The magistrate of Chenliu County is so miserable, and there are only a few clean people working under him. This county captain is a very typical person. If he didn't know the county magistrate's handle, he wouldn't dare to rob a girl in broad daylight.

The county lieutenant detained Shen Congyue's parents to the Yamen, privately for his own selfish reasons, but publicly he was doing something for the county magistrate.

If the tax revenue cannot be raised and the deficit cannot be made up, the political life of the county magistrate will not be cut off, and even his life may not be saved. It is better to go all out and kill the chicken to scare the monkeys.

Yes, Shen Congyue's parents were the chickens that were killed, and as for the monkeys, they were the rest of the people in Chenliu County.

One side wants to collect taxes, and the other side has no money to pay taxes. Conflict is inevitable. Because Shen Congyue was not present during the trial, he only knew that his parents died tragically in the Yamen because they "contradicted the county magistrate and roared in court."

Half a hundred parents died at the hands of water, fire and sticks. Shen Congyue not only promised to marry the county captain, but also wanted to kill him. After pretending to obey him, he bit off the county captain's ear.

Then, it was time to undergo various punishments, from being tortured to finally dying. It only took three or four days to be able to drive a gentle and law-abiding woman into a fierce ghost. You can imagine what she went through.

In fact, in a prison where there is no separation between men and women, once a woman enters the prison, she should not think about coming out intact.

Because the content of the case was not complicated, and it only lasted about a quarter of an hour, Shen Congyue basically finished the narration, and her expression was extremely calm, as if she was not telling her own story.

Of course, this was just a look on her face. In her heart, she was like a volcano about to erupt, which could overturn the entire prison at any time. In the short time she was recounting it, Wu Yi could clearly feel that the power in Shen Congyue's body was The anger became a little stronger.

Through Shen Congyue's narration, Wu Yi frowned and thought. Originally, he just wanted to overturn the verdict and fight for a clear name. However, given the current situation in Chenliu County, if he instigated it himself, he could definitely play a big role and instigate a popular uprising!

The more he thought about it from this angle, the more delighted Wu Yi was, because the probability of success was extremely high, and the risk was not high. Even if it was a dead person, his blood would not be splashed on him.

Since the purpose is to disrupt the national destiny of the Daji Dynasty, what is a more direct method than civil unrest?

Shen Congyue lowered her head and kept silent when she saw Wu Yi. After the punishment, her character had changed greatly. She was suspicious and worried that Wu Yi would sell her out. A fierce look appeared in her eyes.

Wu Yi sensed this change, but he didn't care. He asked: "Are you going to avenge your parents, or for the whole place?"

During the question, Wu Yi was righteous and hid his selfishness in his upright words. Naturally, it would infect Shen Congyue.

As expected, she hesitated. She, who had turned into a fierce ghost, did not completely lose her mind, otherwise she would not be able to keep this expression. At this moment, because of the increase in demands, the resentment in her heart expanded.

After a period of inner struggle, Shen Congyue did not agree directly, but asked: "What do you mean?"

"If it is just to avenge your parents, at most I will rescue you and kill the county lieutenant, or exterminate his entire family, leaving no one alive!"

Just hearing the word "county lieutenant", Shen Congyue was furious, and purple-blue resentment surged from his eyes.

Wu Yi continued: "If you want to avenge your fellow villagers, then collect evidence of the crimes of the county magistrate of Chenliu County and punish him according to the law! Clean up the entire Chenliu County officialdom!"
