The last case was particularly bad: Zhang Yi's family of five were killed, his wife was humiliated and killed. The suspect was Lao Kui, who was released the night before yesterday. The former county magistrate took him in the dungeon because of insufficient evidence and sent someone to find evidence. After Lao Kui was released, Mei Zihan ordered someone to fill in the dungeon.

On that day, Li Hanyao appointed Huo Huangying as the county magistrate, and Qi Chief Register assisted him, and Feng Hui was added as the county magistrate and Mei Zihan as the county magistrate. Although in chaotic times, this configuration was complete. However, after Huo Huangying disappeared, the order of the county magistrate was disrupted. Without Huo Huangying's mind, Qi Chief Register and Feng Hui were a little panicked. Mei Zihan cleverly used them with a scheming and unintentional use of them.

After hearing Huo Huangying's speculation, everyone didn't believe it. Mei Zihan sentenced Lao Kui to be wronged. If there was no evidence, how could he dare to release him? Although Huo Huangying was not there at that time, Feng Hui would have nothing to do. He was bewitched and bought by him and turned a blind eye. But there was still Qi Zhuan in the yamen. How did he get Qi Zhuan to close the case?

Huo Huangying had a pretty face and slapped the file on the table and said, "Mei Zihan found many 'clues'. The one who tried to prove that Zhang Yi's family was Chen Yidao, the thief of Jiangxi Province, who was trying to kill Zhang Yi's family. This case was a murder for money. He accused Chen Yidao of bribery and colluded with Lord Cao of the Jiangnan Weaving Bureau, and asked Lord Cao to speak for him in front of his former magistrate Qi County, trying to make Lao Kui a scapegoat. Chen Yidao had been chased and wiped out by the general of the Jinghai Naval Army; as for Lord Cao and Lord Qi—" She curled a sarcastic smile on her lips - "Two months ago, Miss Li was also executed in public, so these people could not come to testify!"

Li Hanyao felt it was ridiculous and couldn't help asking: "How did Mei Zihan tell the bookkeeper Qi to agree to close the case?"

Huo Huangying said, "He used this official!"

Li Hanyao asked again: "How to use it?"

Huo Huangying said: "He also used General Fang."

Fang Mian, who was standing at the door guard, did not expect that the trials would be on his head. He was shocked and looked up in shock.

Huo Huangying said: "The murder of the Zhang family occurred last autumn, when the Fang family was raided and Xiazhao was in chaos. The Qi County Magistrate, Cao Zhizao, became an inappropriate official, took advantage of the chaos to make money and accept bribes. The other family took advantage of the situation and made a bad reputation in the hearts of the people. The Fang family hated them especially. Mei Zihan used this to find many witnesses to prove that Cao Zhizao made money and accepted bribes, and committed illegal things. Then, he appointed Chen Yidao, Cao Zhizao and Qi County Magistrate to frame. In order to be convinced, he also asked General Fang. General Fang, but still remembered this matter?"

Fang Mian already understood the key points and said embarrassedly: "He asked us how Cao Zhizao and Qi County Magistrate belonged to each other when the Fang family was confiscated. Because the third uncle was not around, I came forward to ask the old servants of the Fang family, and then asked them to go to the yamen to record confessions so that Mei Zihan could find clues. I did not mention the case of the Zhang family."

He didn't know what he said?

Huo Huangying said meaningfully: "That's not what Mei Zihan said to Qi's chief clerk." After that, he ordered: "Come, bring Qi's chief clerk to the hall."

The chief clerk Qi was sentenced to exile by Li Hanyao to serve in the Tiangui Peak Fortress of Jingtai Prefecture. He had not set off yet. Last night, Huo Huangying checked these case files and found many suspicious points. So he went to the prison overnight to ask for advice and inquire about the chief clerk Qi, and ordered him to delay his journey.

At this moment, Chief Qi was brought to the court.

He recalled: "Mei Zihan said at the time: After multiple verifications, he also asked General Fang and the old servants of the Fang family. It was concluded that Chen Yidao was the murderer of the Zhang family. Cao Zhizao accepted bribes and took care of human lives with the chief clerk of Qi. Although Lao Kui had a bad reputation among the neighbors, he did not kill anyone, and was a scapegoat who was wronged."

After hearing these plausible words, Fang Mian was so angry that his face turned dark - he became a key witness in his confusion!

Huo Huangying asked: "Then you don't doubt it? These are five lives!"

Chief Qi said, "Why do I doubt it? He didn't know Lao Kuisu, so there was no reason to excuse him; he had no hatred with Chen Yidao, and there was no need to frame Chen Yidao; Cao Zhizao and Chief Qi were dead, so they were not afraid of this crime; and General Fang, if it were not true, how could he let the servants testify?"

Everyone was stunned when they heard this, and felt incredible, and they could not find any loopholes for a while.

Li Hanyao's heart sank: In times of chaos, the criminal law is also in chaos!

On that day, she once told Zhao Chaozong and a group of Jiangnan officials that she did extraordinary things in an extraordinary period. She killed dozens of local officials in a row and appointed Yan Yun, Huo Huangying and other women as officials. At present, her actions are being learned from and imitated. It was because Mei Zihan took advantage of this that she took advantage of the loopholes.

While she quickly pondered the countermeasures, she pointed at the chief clerk and said, "Even if the evidence is conclusive, he is not qualified to sentence such a large criminal case. How could you be negligent?"

Qi Zhuan: "…"

He glanced at Huo Huangying.

Li Hanyao immediately understood: Mei Zihan was pulling up the tiger's skin as a banner and using the relationship between Huo Huangying. But this is not the reason why Qi Zhuzhu was negligent! What methods did Mei Zihan use to use these people?

Li Hanyao couldn't help but clench her fists.

Luo Wuchen noticed that she was in a bad mood and whispered: "Sister, calm down."

Li Hanyao nodded and stared at Huo Huangying with decent eyes.

Huo Huangying felt even worse than Li Hanyao, and he said in a deep voice: "This is not your reason for neglect. What else did he say at that time?"

Chief Qi said, "He shed tears and said, 'This is the case that Lord Huo cares about the most. Now she doesn't know where she is. I can't find her, so I can only help her investigate the case." He beat his chest and blamed himself, saying that he was incompetent. During these days, Lord Huo disappeared, he could not find any clues. Instead, he investigated these unrelated cases, and one by one, but no matter how much he investigated, he could not comfort his loss of his lover. He cried so sadly... Seeing that he had been through these days, his eyes were red and pitiful, he advised him to open up. I was also tracing Lord Huo's whereabouts. I had no time to examine the case of Zhang's family, and believed that he would not make any mistakes, so he agreed to him to close the case."

Huo Huangying asked: "Which day did this happen?"

Director Qi said: "You have been missing for more than ten days."

Huo Huangying asked: "Since the case was closed, why didn't he let Lao Kui go?"

Chief Clerk Qi said: "He said that this murder case is serious and he has to wait a little longer. He will review it when you come back and confirm that it is correct before re-issue."

Huo Huangying smiled and said, "What a scheming! After hearing this, do you even more doubt that he has put his heart into consideration and think that he has dealt with it fairly?"

That smile was very cold.

The chief clerk Qi said ashamed: "Yes."

Huo Huangying continued, "Later, you were misled by Yan and thought that your official was silenced by Master Wu. Then you tortured Master Wu and killed Master Wu by mistake. Since my official died, the murder case of Zhang's family could not be reviewed. Now there is no master in the world. We Jiangnan recognize Miss Li as the king, and we urgently follow the power of the matter. We put the people first. We should not waste government affairs just because of our own official. So you have closed the case?"

The magistrate of Qi County said: "Yes."
