  Chapter 190 Supporting Fishermen

  Chu Nanzhi was thinking about ways to reverse Sun Wuji's confession in her mind, and suddenly she had an idea, and said happily:

"If I remember correctly, there is a regulation in the laws of the Dahe Empire. If a criminal who has already closed a case, even if he is on the guillotine, as long as the prisoner calls for grievances, he will be given a chance to retract his confession. Once it is found that there are indeed grievances, the case must Call it back and replace it for a retrial, and there are three more chances like this."

"This"

Sun Lizheng frowned slightly: "It's true that this kind of thing happened, but our Haikang County is far away from the emperor, and the county government is full of cruel officials. Let alone three times, it's not bad for a prisoner who has been tortured to survive once. , you want to make people cry three times, which is more tormenting than cutting off the head directly."

   Frowning, he pursed his lips and said mockingly: "The world is as black as crows. Even if the chief interrogator is changed, the result may not be much better."

   "Don't be so pessimistic, old man, let's discuss it with Lady Liu and her daughter."

  Chu Nanzhi said, then took a step towards the hut and turned back.

  Ma Laifu saw that her brows were stretched, she seemed to be relaxed, and couldn't help asking: "Sister Zhi, have you already thought of a way to save my uncle?"

   "For the time being, what we need is to buy as much time as possible."

  Chu Nanzhi smiled slowly: "I don't know much about this place yet, I need to understand the case more carefully."

  And this time is different from Luyan Port, all the information has to be collected by oneself.

   "What elder sister Zhi wants to know, my younger brother can help you. I am afraid that no one in every corner of Haikang County knows better than my younger brother."

   Ma Laifu boasted confidently.

  Sun Lizheng also showed his face and echoed: "This is true. Laifu has no other skills. After wandering around the county for these years, he really knows every place very well."

   "Okay, Laifu, I will trouble you to guide me these days."

  Chu Nanzhi agreed to Ma Laifu while entering the room, and then the group sat down again.

  Sun Liushi and the neighbors around made some porridge, boiled a few eggs, grilled a whole fish and brought them over.

  Sun Lizheng gestured to the neighbors and then dispersed.

   Waiting for the room to clear up, Sun Lizheng looked at Chu Nanzhi and Li Ce with a warm smile, and greeted him earnestly, "Miss Chu and this gentleman have something to eat first, let's talk while eating."

Chu Nanzhi looked at the only three bowls of porridge on the table, Li Ce and Ma Laifu had already started to eat, she looked at Sun Liu's mother and daughter with a somewhat embarrassed expression: "Come over and eat together. "

After finishing speaking, she got up to find a pair of bowls and chopsticks, and was about to share some porridge in, Ma Laifu immediately stopped her, and said angrily: "Sister Zhi, you have been running around for a day, you should eat quickly, my bowl Porridge for my aunt and cousin."

  While distributing the porridge into the empty bowls, he cursed and said, "My uncle is a stingy man, he is so stingy with his future daughter-in-law, he earned two thousand taels of silver, and he is not willing to give even half of the silver when he leaves the house."

  Chu Nanzhi discovered that Ma Defu didn't like the mother and daughter very much when she was in the mountains, and it was Ma Liu's idea to decide on this family.

   And these neighbors brought all the food left at home, I am afraid that the next life will be difficult.

After thinking about it, she took out fifty taels of silver from her bosom and handed it to Sun Lizheng: "I came this time to buy some fish fry in your county, but I never thought that this kind of thing would happen. Put it away first, treat it as the fish fry I ordered."

   "Fry fry can be evenly distributed, but now that Wu Ji is in prison, I'm afraid I won't be able to get fifty taels of silver fry for my wife."

  Sun Lizheng sighed softly: "Besides, without the consent of the Kang family, I would not dare to be the master."

   "It doesn't matter, if the business doesn't work out, it's because of the love, it's me who supports the folks."

  Chu Nanzhi stuffed the money directly.

  Sun Li was holding a few ingots of white flowers, and was very embarrassed: "Ms. Chu wants to buy fish fry from our county. Even if I can get enough fish fry in the future, how can I transport them to Luyan Port?"

   "You don't have to worry about it, you can keep the money. You have just paid the fishing tax, and the money will be distributed to the neighbors for a while. Since I dare to ask for fish fry, I have a way to transport the fish back."

  Chu Nanzhi smiled lightly, picked up the porridge, and drank it wholeheartedly. She was tired and hungry after a day of tossing around, but she didn't have time to be polite to others.

Ma Laifu also took out ten taels of silver from his pocket and handed it to the mother and daughter of the Sun family, signaling: "Buy more food in the next few days, don't let Sister Zhi do things for you hungry, save the rest of the money." Some flowers, my uncle may not know when he will come out."

Hearing this, Chu Nanzhi waved her hands indifferently: "You don't have to worry about me, just take care of your own life. I learned about the scene of the crime today, and Sanlang and I will go to the county to learn more clues tomorrow. Laifu will go with you."

"Yeah."

  Ma Laifu replied excitedly, and Chu Nanzhi was also afraid that he would be too reckless, so he added repeatedly: "But you have to promise me that you will not mess around in the county, and you will not have any more disputes with others."

  If there is a reason to defend Sun Wuji, no matter whether the county lieutenant or the county magistrate, he would dare not do anything to her on the surface, but if this kid goes to make trouble, the nature of the matter is another matter.

  Ma Laifu nodded immediately without hesitation: "Sister Zhi, don't worry, I will never go west if you let me go east, and I will never dare go east if you let me go west."

   "Well, with your words, I feel relieved."

  Chu Nanzhi smiled gratifiedly, suddenly thought of Zhu Xiancheng who was killed, and immediately asked: "Where is Zhu Xiancheng's body now, can it be buried?"

Sun Li was collecting the money, and replied unhurriedly: "It should be a few more days, Zhu Xiancheng can be regarded as a young hero in the county, and he is very popular. He has done a lot of practical things for the people. His sudden death made the whole county deeply saddened. The magistrate of Kang County has already announced that everyone is allowed to go to pay their respects. I am afraid that he will not be buried until the end of the month."

   "So, this Zhu Xiancheng is quite prestigious."

  Chu Nanzhi couldn't help sighing.

  Thinking that just after Sun Wuji was imprisoned, the county raised the fishing tax. I am afraid that Zhu Xiancheng must have moved some people's cheese, and directly removed two obstacles with one stone and two birds.

  But she still doesn't know much about the administration of the entire Haikang County, and she doesn't dare to speculate.

   Staring at Sun Liushi with a dejected face, Chu Nanzhi suddenly asked in surprise: "Since the county has determined that it was murder, can the murder weapon be found at home?"

  Sun Liu's eyes were gloomy, and he nodded weakly: "They found a short fish-killing knife from their home, and they said it was a sharp weapon used by the stupid man to commit murder, and directly took it back to the county government as physical evidence."

   "It's true that the witnesses and material evidence are quite complete."

  Chu Nanzhi sneered with a stiff expression.
