Li Qingcha: “…”
At this moment, Gong Lianxue asked, "Do we really need to hire a lawyer?"
"Without a lawyer, the government will decide what to do, and things will become very difficult."
"But you are a government official."
"You... you... stupid junior sister."
If someone else called Gong Lianxue like this, she would have definitely hurt him by now.
But the other party is Li Qingcha,
Then...
"Hmph! I forgive you."
Li Qingcha: ???
She was confused, thought for a long time, and said tentatively: "There is a reason why I don't regard myself as a government official. This... this is right..."
Gong Lianxue lowered her head.
"Stupid Senior Brother..."
"what?"
"Forget it. You won't understand even if I tell you. Just tell me why you are not considered a government official."
"A 'Beijing official' like me, with no official title or position, is nothing more than a nobody in Bozhou."
puff~
Gong Lianxue laughed out loud.
Li Qingcha said, "The problem now is that I don't think any lawyer would be willing to take this case, because the Bozhou prefecture has requested that it be handled strictly. If the case is really tried and punished for extermination of the family or smuggling, it can be dealt with in a variety of ways."
"Miscellaneous punishment" is a nice way of saying it. To put it bluntly, it is just using punishment under the pretext of legitimacy.
Who can bear under severe punishment?
A warrior would probably need to have sixth-grade bronze skin and iron bones to withstand this. Moreover, it was just "resistance". If they were tortured with psychological attacks like Li Qingcha did, they would definitely not be able to hold out for ten days.
By the time the confession is obtained, it will be extremely difficult to overturn the verdict.
Of course, it is impossible for a sixth-rank warrior to be caught.
There is a huge gap between cultivators and ordinary people. Heng Qiu has already entered the realm of cultivation. If it were not for Mingxuetang, the Yuezong's industry, he should still be able to escape.
It is also possible that the Bozhou prefect has monks as his followers?
It's hard to say yet.
Li Qingcha said: "It all depends on what the Bozhou government thinks. If the pressure is great enough, I'm afraid that even if we raise the cost of the lawsuit to the sky, no one will step forward."
"Where are the lawyers from other places?"
"A powerful dragon cannot suppress a local snake, and the people cannot fight against the officials. This is the most basic principle."
"What should I do?"
"There are two possibilities: one, I catch the criminal first, it's not impossible to start with the Yingsang people; two, I do it myself."
In person...
Gong Lianxue was stunned for half a second before she reacted.
"No, I can't let you be a lawyer."
The girl refused flatly.
Li Qingcha knew the reason.
Constables and yamen runners were all clerks. Once they became clerks, their career paths would be cut off. Even if they had a little power, people with clean backgrounds would not be willing to do this.
As for lawyers,
These people are standing against the government. Sun Wei called them "litigators", which shows his attitude.
Li Qingcha smiled and said, "I don't care about the identity of the instructor of the Young Phoenix Camp. After all, we are monks, and we are not Confucian monks. It doesn't matter whether we are officials or not."
The girl was stunned for a moment, then suddenly blushed.
"Actually...actually what I want to say is..."
"???"
"..."
"You talk, I'm listening."
"There is a rule in the Great Xia Law: 'A younger brother cannot testify against his elder brother, a wife cannot testify against her husband, and a slave cannot testify against her master'. The relationship between us... uh-huh..."
Li Qingcha:!!!
hiss……
She took a deep breath,
It’s over, I’ve been teased.
But the problem is that the past is not long, and the past cannot be retrieved, which is very embarrassing.
Li Qingcha coughed violently.
"Well, I'll go look for a lawyer first. If I can't get in touch with him, I'll go directly to the government office. By the way, you two should book an extra room. I don't want to sleep on a hard bed."
She ran away in a flash.
Gong Lianxue watched Li Qingcha's back disappear and murmured to herself in a thin flute voice: "This idiot..."
Then she added: "Me too..."
Chapter 201 Don’t look for me!
Add more.
￥￥￥￥￥￥￥￥￥￥￥￥
Li Qingcha left.
Xiang Nanyu poked Gong Lianxue in the waist and whispered, "He's gone."
Gong Lianxue: “Ah?”
"he's gone."
"Oh...wait, why aren't you in a daze?"
Of course I can't be in a daze anymore.
Arguing with No. 1 is just a hobby at best. He is in competition with Gong Lianxue, so Xiang Nanyu's enemy-searching radar is always on.
She lowered her voice and said, "Next time, you can't disturb me."
Gong Lianxue was surprised.
"What next time? What interruption?"
"When I'm alone with my brother."
"..."
"You must not give in. I have already conceded so generously this time. What are you saying, 'you idiot' and 'me too'? Oh, I am so fed up. I can't take it anymore! I can't take it anymore!"
Gong Lianxue: (oへo╬)
She wanted to tear Xiang Nanyu's mouth apart.
However, it is true that Xiang Nanyu did not come to disturb her. If she had suddenly interrupted her just now, the final result would definitely be unsatisfactory.
Gong Lianxue muttered, "Alright, alright, got it."
Xiang Nanyu: “Hey~”
"Hey, what do you mean?"
"It's boring."
"(ˉ▽￣~) Cut~~"
"Let's go and find him. Frankly speaking, he went to Bozhou Prefecture alone. Aren't you worried at all?"
Xiang Nanyu didn't mean to contradict Li Qingcha.
Gong Lianxue can understand.
She was worried too.
The girl turned to the shopkeeper and said, "Shopkeeper, prepare some wine and food for the three of us."
The shopkeeper nodded.
"Okay, how long will it take to deliver it to you?"
Having just experienced what happened to Xu Zhiyang recently, Gong Lianxue was quite experienced. She handled it carefully and disclosed as little information as possible.
"We don't know when we'll be back, so just prepare some steamed dishes and keep them heated."
"That's no problem. By the way, I heard from that gentleman that he wants to prepare an extra room upstairs?"
"No, you heard wrong."
"???"
"You. Listened. Wrongly."
"Yes, yes, I understand."
Although the shopkeeper was not a cultivator, he could sense the murderous aura instinctively.
He quickly asked the kitchen to prepare the meal.
Gong Lianxue and Xiang Nanyu looked at each other.
puff~
puff~
They laughed at the same time.
The two left the inn and walked towards Bozhou Prefecture while asking for directions.
As a result, as soon as we approached our destination, we saw people carrying corpses.
Xiang Nanyu was stunned, and lowered his voice and said, "In order to facilitate the investigation, the mortuary is usually arranged not far from the government office. These people are definitely not the bandits who stole the corpse."
In fact, she didn't need to say anything, because those people were all wearing the uniforms of yamen runners.
There was a pile of firewood with many corpses lying on it in all directions. The yamen runners scattered and retreated. One of them, who was leading the group, was holding a torch and was about to go over to light a fire.
Burning corpses in the street?
Can't wait for this?
Because the mortuary is a place with heavy yin energy, usually only people who are going to the government office will pass by occasionally, and some people who are going to the government office even deliberately take a detour.
but no matter……
"Destroy the body and eliminate all traces!"
"Destroy the body and eliminate all traces!"
The two girls said almost in unison.
The next moment,
Snapped--
There was a very subtle sound of a whip breaking through the air, and the torch in the runner's hand went out.
The yamen runners were all confused:???
They looked around but couldn't see who had done this.
There was an old man wearing a corrugated hat and hunched over, looking like a lawyer.
