Chapter 1597 The government will not wrong an innocent person, nor will it let a guilty person go un
In addition to identifying the accomplices pointed out by the man with the broken leg, Inspector Liang also verified the identities of every member of the public present.
Although he doesn't perform particularly well on a regular basis, Inspector Liang still demonstrates professional competence in critical moments, preventing anyone from slipping through the net.
Wu, the clerk, and Xia, the clerk, escorted the eight members of the bandit gang back to the yamen.
Of course, the city gates still enforced a strict entry system, allowing entry only after verifying that the household registration for three generations was in order.
As for the problematic ones?
Hehe, sorry, I'll have to obediently spend the night in the jail at the yamen.
The people who suffered this undeserved calamity: ...
Is there no justice in this world? I just came out to stroll around the lantern festival and join in the fun, why am I going to end up in jail?
If I move in, how can I maintain my innocence?
This time, the same two brothers who came to join the fun last year and encountered a serial killer were there again, and they came out to have some fun on their own.
Brother A shouted excitedly, "Sir, how am I a suspicious person? My family has lived in Yuanlu County for nine generations. We are genuine people of Yuanlu County, and why are you locking me up?"
Brother B shouted angrily, "That's right, why won't they let us go home again?"
He paused, then continued shouting, "Even if you won't let us go home, you can't lock us up in jail. We want to live in the City God Temple!"
The guards on duty rolled their eyes.
He cursed viciously, "Who do you think you are? You think you can do whatever you want? Humph, obediently come back to the jail with me for one night. Once we've investigated, we'll release you. Do you think you can stay in the City God Temple? That's a place for disaster victims."
Brother A, unconvinced, shouted, "What's suspicious about us? We're good citizens of Yuanlu County, how could we be suspicious? Where is Lord Sun? We want to see Lord Sun!"
Last year, the two brothers came to the city to play during the Lantern Festival, and by sheer coincidence, they ran into a serial killer.
I thought this year would be peaceful, but who knew the officials would say they were going to arrest some suspicious person again.
What was suspicious about them? They were just ordinary people, so kind and gentle.
Brother B also shouted loudly, "Yes, we want to see Lord Sun. Last time Lord Sun put us in the City God Temple, why are we in the prison this time?"
"Is a prison cell a place for humans? How unlucky! If we go in, will we ever get out? No, we demand to see Lord Sun! We demand fair and just treatment!"
The officers, too lazy to waste words with the two brothers, simply ordered their colleagues to arrest them.
Without a word, his colleagues stepped forward, and the four of them quickly restrained the two brothers, stuffing a rag of unknown origin into their feet.
The two brothers: .....
She cried out in a low, mournful voice.
Unfortunately, no one came to their rescue despite their desperate cries, and they were taken away by the heartless officials.
As the officials escorted the two brothers, they shouted, "If you're not suspicious, then who is? Everyone else is either a family visiting the lantern festival, or handsome men and beautiful women strolling together!"
And you two? Two bachelors coming to the lantern festival? What's so interesting about that? Hmph, you're probably here to do something bad. You little rascals, smug as ever, we know what you're thinking.
"Hmph, I advise you not to make a futile struggle. Just come back with us obediently, and we'll release you once we've finished our investigation."
He paused, then added, "Don't worry, the authorities will not wrong an innocent person, nor will they let a guilty person go unpunished!"
The two brothers: .....
Crying without tears!
He deliberately avoided his family to come to the city to see the festivities, but ended up being imprisoned.
It's like snow falling in June; she's even more wronged than Dou E!
The two brothers looked at each other and wept bitterly.
I secretly warned myself: I must not come to the city next year. This terrible Lantern Festival is incompatible with my birth chart.
Why is there another accident this year after the one that happened last year?
And that Lord Sun! Isn't he supposed to love his country and its people?
Last year, they were kind enough to arrange for them to stay at the City God Temple, but this year, their true colors have been revealed. They no longer follow the patriotic and people-loving path and have been locked up in jail.
That damned Lord Sun!
We're going to draw a circle and curse you!
Sun Shan sat high in the county government office, listening to Sun Dingnan's frontline report.
Suddenly I sneezed.
Gui-ge asked with concern, "Shan-ge, is the brazier not burning hot enough? Should we add some charcoal?"
Then he added, "Even on this big holiday, you can't have a moment's peace. Brother Shan, you've suffered!"
Gui Ge'er felt sorry for Sun Shan, who had to work overtime and handle official business so late at night. Especially today, the Lantern Festival, a time when every household is brightly lit and families are reunited.
Originally, I was taking my little chubby girl to enjoy the lanterns and eat pig's feet.
Who knew I'd run into a group of people who use scissors?
If you're going to steal, why did you have to steal from this chubby girl?
It's one thing to steal from the chubby girl, but why did they also cut her skin?
Gui-ge felt sorry for both Sun Shan and Xiao Fei-mei. He hurriedly went to add more charcoal and brought Sun Shan a bowl of red date, goji berry, and snow fungus tea.
He said with concern, "Brother Shan, have a drink to warm yourself up. You'll probably be busy all night. Oh, that damned thief, he's ruined himself and others."
Sun Shan also felt very unlucky. He went out happily, but came back with a wound.
Poor Xiaoxiao, she got such a big cut. Luckily it was her chubby little hand, not her chubby face.
Sun Shan said coldly, "Tonight I will personally investigate this gang of bandits. Hmph, daring to commit crimes in Yuanlu County, I will make sure they rot in jail."
Sun Dingnan readily agreed, saying, "Sir, they should be severely punished. Innocent Xiaoxiao, after being cut like that, is sure to have nightmares tonight. Alas, such a good holiday, but a bunch of bad apples have to come along, it's really despicable."
Mr. Zhang, who was fast asleep in bed, was interrupted from his sweet dream and rushed over to work overtime.
He said angrily, "That's right, sir. These people not only stole, but they also committed the crime together. Humph, they should be punished severely as a warning to others."
At this moment, Magistrate Wang hurriedly walked in from outside.
He asked with concern, "Sir, are you alright? I heard you encountered assassins, is that true or false? Some say it was the 'Cut-off Gang,' which is the truth?"
Magistrate Wang was leading his grandsons to stroll through the lantern festival and eat pig's feet when a servant suddenly reported that Sun Shan had encountered an assassin.
My first reaction was the same as Inspector Liang's: I didn't believe it.
However, since my superior is in trouble, I must be there.
After settling his grandchildren in, he rushed back to the yamen in a great hurry. As soon as he entered, his informant said that the bandits were not assassins, and that the injured Miss Sun was not Lord Sun.
Upon hearing this, Magistrate Wang was greatly disappointed.
She secretly cursed the haircutters for not knowing how to choose their targets; how could they bear to cut such a cute, fair-skinned young lady like Miss Sun?
It's a real waste that Lord Sun, with his shifty eyes and weasel-like appearance, didn't cut it.
When Magistrate Wang saw Sun Shan safe and sound, he felt both heartbroken and distressed.
He was thinking of instructing the jailers to teach the hairpin-cutting gang a lesson later. After all, they cut the wrong person's hairpin.
Sun Shan looked at Magistrate Wang speechlessly. Did he really think Wang was blind?
He replied expressionlessly, "Magistrate Wang, I'm fine!"
