Chapter 10 Back in Time
The Jiang family worked quickly. It only took half a night to clean up the space, and it took two days and two nights to check repeatedly to confirm that there would be no more clues left. Then Shi Shiran told City Master Zeng that he could be promoted to the court for another trial.
Things were just as Patriarch Jiang had expected, the two of them would not be successful without evidence, and City Lord Zeng could justly cover up for the Jiang family, saying that there was insufficient evidence to convict Jiang Yixing, and even hold Jiang Li and Yuan Wuxing responsible for intentionally hurting Jiang Yixing.
The only thing that the patriarch Jiang didn't expect was that the ancestor of their family, Jiang Yixing, is still in a coma, and the doctor can'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 magistrate 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.
"This is the Complaint."
City Master Zeng was very upset when he saw Jiang Li's calm face, and he was even more upset when he saw him take out a complaint in court.
Obviously, he had anticipated this result long before he was promoted, and he had written the petition long ago.
But so what, the magistrate who will accept this case was also promoted from the position of Qingcheng city lord, and also helped the Jiang family cover up the baby-stealing matter.
And even if the magistrate is a fair person, without any evidence, how can these two ignorant guys win the case?
…
The Great Zhou Dynasty was divided into twenty-six prefectures, and each prefecture had dozens of large cities. Today’s Qingcheng belongs to the large cities and is under the jurisdiction of Tianqing Mansion, and the complaint must of course be handed over to Gong Peng, the prefect of Tianqing Mansion.
After receiving the petition, Prefect Gong called Patriarch Jiang and City Lord Zeng over, and after inquiring about the incident in detail, he was determined.
…
"Zhang Li, Yuan Wuxing, I want to inform you before you are promoted, that the judge's ruling is the final result. Unless there is new evidence that may overturn the original ruling, the two of you cannot appeal further. Do you hear me clearly?"
Gong Zhifu sat in the center of the lobby, with Zhang Li and Yuan Wuxing on one side, and Patriarch 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 as expressionless as before, in Yuan Wuxing's view, he must be secretly smiling in his heart.
Outside the lobby, there were dozens of sparse people, much less than before. After all, everyone knew that the evidence was insufficient, and Jiang Li and Yuan Wuxing could not win the case. City Lord Zeng stood in it, ready to watch the excitement.
"Clear." Jiang Li replied loudly, and Yuan Wuxing followed suit.
"However, I will add another person as the defendant before I am promoted."
"Yes, but this judge's ruling is still the final result. You cannot appeal on the grounds of temporary addition."
Jiang Li nodded to show his understanding, raised his chin slightly, and stood with his hands behind his back: "I want to sue City Lord Zeng of Qingcheng for abusing his power during his tenure, using his power for personal gain, covering up the fact that Jiang Yixing stole the baby, and destroying important evidence. Please prefect Gong rule!"
Patriarch Jiang's heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly felt that it was not good. If he wanted to sue the city lord, the officials who accepted it needed to be third-rank officials, and Zhifu Gong was a third-rank official. This move was legal, but he couldn't figure out what Jiang Li wanted to do. Could he win by suing one more city lord?
He always felt like he forgot something.
Patriarch Jiang was not familiar with the law, and did not know Jiang Li's purpose, but City Lord Zeng and Zhifu Gong understood Jiang Li's purpose immediately, and the backs of the two Nascent Soul cultivators, who could not escape the cold and heat, were instantly covered with a dense layer of cold sweat.
"I suspect that the most important evidence in this case, the destruction of the space where the blood sacrificed the baby was done by City Lord Zeng, please also ask the prefect of Gong to report to the court, apply to go back in time, and restore the scene!"
This matter will be brought to the court!
They don't have a big backstage that can block out the sun in the imperial court!
Among the nine great dynasties, only the Great Zhou Dynasty dared to establish the country by law, and only the Great Zhou Dynasty was able to rule the country by law.
However, the way of time has serious consequences and cannot be used easily. Therefore, Dazhou stipulates that several special circumstances can use the way of time. For example, the case has a huge impact on the country, and another example is that the case involves the integrity of seven-rank officials and above...
And Zeng Chengzhu is a fifth-rank official.
"You spitting blood!" City Master Zeng yelled, regardless of his image.
City Master Zeng really wanted to appeal for grievances. It was the space destroyed by the Jiang family. He was at most a witness. How could it be said that he did it when this kid said it?
Jiang Li turned a deaf ear to this.
Whether City Lord Zeng destroys the space is not important, what is important is that he is the defendant in this case.
"Zhang Li, do you really want to apply to the court to go back in time?" Zhifu Gong stared at Jiang Li with cold eyes, he felt that he was being tricked by Jiang Li.
More importantly, by going back in time, not only can we see that Jiang's family destroyed the space node, but also see Jiang Yixing practicing magic in that space!
Once Jiang Yixing's practice of magic is exposed, all the people who are the city lords in Qingcheng will be checked by the court, and none of them can escape!
Yuan Wuxing also realized why Jiang Li allowed the Jiang family to destroy the space node, so he was waiting here.
"I am sure."
"You, really, yes, want, apply, please!" Gong Zhifu repeated the question word by word, and Yuanying's aura was at its peak, like a roaring tiger.
"I'm sure." Jiang Li still looked calm, as if he didn't see the killing intent of Gong Zhifu, and even took out the written application form from his sleeve, and put it in front of Gong Zhifu.
Seeing the application form with ink still not dry, Zhifu Gong almost couldn't stand it anymore, and wanted to kill Jiang Li in court!
But he still didn't dare to make a move in the end.
If he makes a move now, it will be all over.
"Zhang Li, right? You're very good, you're very good!" Zhifu Gong slapped the case and left angrily. Patriarch Jiang and City Lord Zeng no longer avoided suspicion, and followed behind with sullen faces.
As Zhifu Gong left, the pervasive killing intent gradually faded away, and Yuan Wuxing regained some strength and stood up unsteadily.
"Gong Zhifu didn't take any action, just scared you like this with murderous intent. After all, you are at the peak of Jindan, so you can't lose face." Jiang Li laughed and scolded with hatred.
Yuan Wuxing smiled wryly: "Senior Zhang, Prefect Gong is at the peak of Yuanying, facing that level of killing intent, Jin Danqi can't stand it."
Jiang Li curled his lips: "Excuse me, I killed the Yuanying peak at the Jindan peak."
Yuan Wuxing was taken aback for a moment, and it took him a long time to hold back a sentence: "Senior is very skilled."
Yuan Wuxing really admires Jiang Li. You see, he walks as a Taoist sect, and in terms of status, he is even half a step higher than the prince of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Officials of the first and second ranks will greet him with a smile, but he just ignores his status and drives the Jiang family to death step by step according to the laws of the Great Zhou Dynasty!
sharp!
