County Magistrate He has been a muddled official for several years, and he has long forgotten the Zhou Law. Hearing this, he subconsciously lifted his cap, turned his head to look at the servant at the side, and said in a low voice, "Look for it, and see if what he said is true."

The servant hurriedly lowered his head and flipped through the Zhou Law, and finally walked forward quickly, whispering in County Magistrate He's ear: "My lord, it is exactly as he said, every word is correct."

The County Magistrate looked at Rong Xuan in surprise when he heard the words, he was unavoidably overwhelmed by the young man's aura. He patted the gavel, stammered and asked: "Rong Xuan, according to what you said, how should I change the sentence?"

It is not an exaggeration to beat people to death just for the crime of contempt for the late emperor.

Rong Xuan glanced at Wang Yuanwei lightly, thinking that this is not easy: "Contempt to the government, collection of grain in private; twenty sticks of beating. Forcing a girl to be a prostitute; three years in prison. Malicious false accusation, and deliberately misleading the case; twenty sticks."

Every time he recited a sentence, the blood on Wang Yuanwei's face faded a little, and in the end it was already ashen-colored, and he was so frightened that his soul flew out of his mind.

Rong Xuan finally smiled, and concluded: "My lord, according to the law, you will sentence him to a total of forty spine sticks, and put him in prison for three years."

Magistrate He is a fool, he listens to what others say. Coupled with the content of Rong's declaration, he nodded frequently, quietly discussed with the officials at the side for a while, and finally slapped the gavel heavily, and said in a deep voice to the hall: "Wang Yuanwei, you have listened to the three crimes just now. The verdict is clear. I really didn't expect that you appear to be proper, but you are actually treacherous and cunning. Come, someone, drag him down for a forty-spine stick, and escort him to prison."

After saying this, he threw two chips directly from the stick, one representing twenty sticks.

Seeing this, the yamen servants on both sides were about to drag him down to carry out the execution, but Wang Yuanwei suddenly crazed up. He didn't know where the strength came from, but he pushed the yamen servant away and climbed forward, saying: "My lord! My lord! I refuse to accept it! I refuse to accept it!"

After hearing the plea, the County Magistrate's buttocks that had just left the stool had to sit back again, and his tone was impatient: "Why are you dissatisfied?!"

Wang Yuanwei was quite quick-witted: "My lord, no matter whether this emerald jade ring is real or not, it was bought by me for a hundred taels of silver. To blame it for being fake can only be blamed on that jade merchant, he, he...he lied to me, and I was deceived by him, thinking that the emerald jade ring was real, so now I asked for compensation! Those who don't know are innocent, how can this be considered a false accusation?!"

Magistrate He stroked his beard when he heard the words, frowned and thought for a moment, he felt that the words were reasonable, and turned his head to look at Rong Xuan: "Rong Xuan, since he doesn't know that the jade ring is fake, how about exempting him from twenty spine sticks?"

Rong Xuan raised his eyebrows faintly: "My lord, since he said that he spent a hundred taels of silver to buy this emerald jade ring, then please ask him to show the receipt, or confront the jade merchant, otherwise there is no basis for his words. In Zhou Law, there is a saying that if there is no corpse, there will be no murder case, and if there is no object, there will be no criminal case. He needs to produce evidence before we can change the sentence, otherwise this student will not accept it."
