Chapter 654: Anti-guests (Part 2)

Seeing Hu Yi becoming more and more panicked, Ma Bangwen knew that he could not allow Li Ling to continue to put pressure on him, he coughed and interrupted, "Mr. Li, you are luring confessions and forcing him to confess... Moreover, there is a problem with what you asked. Zhao Guang and Qian Hai were obviously burned to death by fire, and there are many colleagues who can testify to others. Why did they become harmed by Hu Tuiguan?"

Li Ling stopped asking Hu Yi and turned to look at Ma Bangwen: "Master Ma, I have found out that the deaths of Zhao and Qian were not burned by fire, but were thrown into the fire after they were killed."

Ma Bangwen was completely stunned, and the people who were listening outside also exclaimed in a timely manner, and everyone showed an incredible expression.

Because the fire had a great impact on the eve of the past, the people in the city knew that there were two government officials who had lost their lives to put out the fire. In the past two days, everyone was still sighing. As a result, Li Ling actually said that there was something strange about their deaths, which was enough to shock everyone.

No matter how deep Ma Bangwen was, his face turned pale and his tone became a little stiff: "Mr. Li, you can't talk nonsense about this kind of thing. Do you have any evidence for the great cause of human life?"

"Of course. Bring the body up to me." Li Ling gave an order without hesitation.

As the two charred corpses on the door panels were carried to the court, there was another scream outside. Many people were backing back and dodging after seeing the terrifying appearance of the corpse, and even making noises. This stimulation was too great and not something that ordinary people could accept.

After the corpses were put down, Li Ling clicked them and said seriously: "I have asked my subordinates to inspect two charred corpses because I thought this was strange before. Based on some common sense, it can be inferred that they were thrown into the fire after death." As he said that, he explained the theory of whether to burn to death or to die first and then burn it again.

He heard that the two corpses had been dissected and the belly was broken, and everyone outside vomited again, and Ma Bangwen's face became more and more pale. He really didn't expect the other party to be so amazing that he even used the body for examination, and it sounded quite like that.

But now, no matter how hard it is, he can only hum, "Mr. Li, let's not mention that this approach is very disrespectful to Zhao and Qian. Just what you call truth is difficult to convince the public without the verdict of the past."

"Yes, Lord Li, this is just your one-sided statement. Even if the corpse is really as you said, there is not much ash in the trachea and the lungs are clean, that doesn't mean they were not burned to death." An official from the government office immediately supported his lord, and then many people also said similar words.

Even the people outside showed a look of disbelief after vomiting.

Originally, this statement has not been mentioned by previous people, and no one has seen it. It is really hard to convince people just by Li Ling's words.

Li Ling tskated, why did other time travelers' tricks come to him but they don't work? Fortunately, he has a second move: "If you don't believe it, you can try it out and find two pigs, one kills, and the other doesn't kill, and then lock them in the thatched hut together, until the alive one is burned to death, and you will know that what the official said is not false."

Li Ling's statement naturally makes sense, but the other person refused to accept it. Ma Bangwen shook his head and said, "Mr. Li, you said so much, but there is no conclusive evidence. On the contrary, the deaths of the two of them were seen by more than a dozen officials in our government office. Did everyone just believe that the whole government office was lying because of your nonsense?

"Mr. Li, although you are an official in the capital and have a higher rank than a lower rank, you are a lower rank here. After all, you are the lower rank. Even if there are any doubts, I should be tried by me, the prefect, rather than by you. If you insist on doing your own thing, I will have to suspect that you have ulterior motives."

There is a certain reason for this statement to be both soft and hard, which really makes Li Ling not very easy to refute. He can't talk about science or forensics to these ancient people... By the way, due to the changes in history, Song Ci, the forensic doctor who should have appeared, does not exist.

Seeing that Li Ling was silent, Ma Bangwen was more confident and said, "Mr. Li, the official knows that you are eager to do your job well, but you can't ignore the reality of my Yingzhou Prefecture, right? It's because my Yingzhou is too poor and my official does not want to let the people suffer, so he delays the military rations... If the official insists on finding someone to take this crime, then the official is willing to admit this crime for the people. I hope that the lord will not wrongly accuse my subordinates and harm my subordinates."

As he said that, he stood up again, bowed to Li Ling solemnly, and showed his attitude as a good official who ruled for the people.

At this moment, the situation suddenly changed. Everyone in the government hall looked solemnly, and then they saluted Li Ling: "Mr. Li, the prefect has always been the ruler for the people. He is a rare good official. If you really want to blame him, blame us..."

After a little surprised, the people outside shouted: "Mr. Li, there must be some misunderstandings in this. Lord. Ma is not that kind of person..."

"Yes, how could the government officials know that the law is broken and even do something to kill people? There must be some misunderstandings..."

The people who were easily guided had already stood firmly on the side of their prefect, and they all spoke for him, and even ignored the fact that Hu Yi asked Pang Sihai and the others to steal the bodies - or they thought this was also Li Ling's frame-up slander.

Seeing the changes inside and outside the court, Li Ling was completely stunned and his heart sank straight.

He originally decided to make a public trial, but he wanted to use the power of the people to suppress the government office. As a result, he was good now, but he shot himself in the foot, making himself more isolated. At this point, I am afraid that no matter what he said, it would be useless.

The people of science obviously don’t understand and will not recognize it. As for directly suppressing their identity, it will only backfire before such a situation. At least when revealing the true face of Ma Bangwen, he must not be strong. This feeling of being restrained and no one can grasp the key points is really uncomfortable.

"Hu Yi, get up. It seems that this is a misunderstanding. Everyone should have broken up. The official will discuss this matter with Lord Li again, and I will tell you the truth at that time." Prefect Ma, who has regained the initiative, spoke again, but it is about to end this "farce".

After Li Ling opened his mouth, he was speechless and could only watch everyone disperse. In the end, even Hu Yi and the others left, but he was powerless to stop him. Only Pang Sihai and the others, who were witnesses, were still guarded by his guards, and finally did not fail completely.

"Sir, can you please tell me a few words?" Seeing that the situation had settled, Ma Bangwen suggested with a smile.

Li Ling pondered for a moment, nodded, and then followed him out of the lobby, walked along the corridor and walked around the rear. Naturally, no one could hear the conversation between them. At this moment, Ma Bangwen's steps also stopped and he looked at Li Ling with a smile: "Mr. Li, I think you should leave my Yingzhou as soon as possible, otherwise it would be bad if you were criticized or even bumped into someone with ulterior motives."

Li Ling did not react too strongly, but just raised his eyebrows slightly. From the other party's suggestion that he had the intention, but it was so direct, and he was a little surprised: "Master Ma is really careful, and I appreciate the good intentions."

"Why, do you still want to stay in Yingzhou to check something? Are you not afraid of your reputation being damaged?" Ma Bangwen turned sideways slightly, making people unable to see his expression.

But Li Ling could guess that his face must be bad now, so he smiled and said, "My reputation is nothing compared to two lives, let alone the military rations that concern the victory or defeat of hundreds of thousands of soldiers in the northern border of Vietnam. So I would not leave Yingzhou just before I could find out some things."

"Mr. Li, are you insisting that Zhao Guang and the others' deaths are strange? But in the eyes of Xiaguan, they were clearly implicated by you..."

"There is no need to say secret words in front of Mingren. I have found out that they were burned after death. It would be boring if you say that they were putting out the fire and died." Li Ling was not interested in fighting with him any more riddles, and immediately interrupted, "It's really true. I believe it will be revealed soon. Some people should not think that they can cover up the sky with one hand. They think that if they pretend well on weekdays, they can hide it from the world.

"He didn't know that once such disguise was exposed, the harm would only be greater than other mistakes, and he might even lose his life."

Li Ling was not polite, and even made direct declarations of war, which immediately shocked Ma Bangwen's body again, and the anger in his eyes could not be concealed: "Mr. Li, since you are unwilling to listen to the good advice of the subordinates, don't blame me for what happens in the future. After all, it's still time to change your mind now!" As he said that, he shook his sleeves, turned his head and wanted to leave.

Li Ling sneered, but did not stop him. But after he walked out a few steps, he suddenly asked, "I just don't understand something. Why did Zhao Guangqianhai, the two officials from the punishment room, run to the Jiagekuan, and even pay his life to save some books that have nothing to do with him? I think there is no good official in the world who sacrifices himself so much, right?"

This sentence made Ma Bangwen's feet suddenly stir up his garlic, but then he accelerated his pace again, as if he had not heard the question at all. However, the obvious loss of composure was captured by Li Ling, and then he showed a meaningful smile.
