The next day, because the villagers of Lijia Village were still on the way, Elias went to court to interrogate the jailer who had neglected his duties. Unexpectedly, the yamen servants, subordinate staff, and police officers who had not been on duty for a long time came all together, asserting that there was a lot of grievances involved, and asked the county magistrate to re-investigate. The jailer's wife knelt at the door crying with runny nose and tears, and she looked very pitiful.
"Zhao Elias" has a lot of criminal records. Although Elias made some amends yesterday, it did not benefit the general public, so the people still did not trust him very much, and there was a faint look of doubt in their eyes. But they did not help the woman open her eyes, because the woman's husband was an official and often did evil things to bully his neighbors. If he was sentenced, it would be considered karma.
Everyone watched indifferently, waiting for the two groups of people and dogs in the hall to bite each other. It can be seen that the hatred for the officials has penetrated deep into the bones. It is extremely difficult to ensure that no one is accused by the king of hell. If it were anyone else, she would definitely have a headache at this moment, but Elias would just try her best to do what she had to do in front of her, and she didn't think much about it.
He summoned his fellow jailers and asked them to describe what happened. Unexpectedly, last night, he had categorically said that Li Gui was the one who choked to death. Today, he changed his story, saying that Li Gui first rolled on the floor in pain, and then burst out violently. Damn, maybe he had some emergency. Immediately afterwards, another prisoner stood up and said that he had just seen the body and realized that Li Gui's death was very strange and that he must have been beaten.
Some of the twenty strong men newly hired by Elias showed expressions of fear and guilt, with cold sweat on their foreheads and faces as pale as paper.
