Volume 3 The Storm Rises Chapter 124 The trial of the case is opened
At last night's banquet, when the news of Liao Cheng's banquet for Hu Yu reached Shaoyin's mansion, Meng Haili laughed and mocked at that time: "Our lord Yin is really interesting, I really don't treat myself as an official, I think it's a savior when I grab a straw, and a guy who was beaten half to death by Li Chao can also be treated as a guest by him, it's really ridiculous." Since Lord Fu Yin is so idle, and he has come to ask about the case in the yamen, why don't Lord Wang help out, and solve the problems of our parents and officials in Dongming City. ”
After listening to this sentence, Wang Bin understood Meng Haili's intentions, at noon, Shang Kun decided to pull Liao Cheng off the horse in order to save his child, and gave Meng Haili a big gift, so at this dinner, it can't be without a show, so at that time, Wang Bin quietly attached to Meng Haili's ear and said: "My lord, do you think we should also hand Shang Kun a knife, so that he can completely turn against Liao Cheng?"
What kind of character Meng Haili is, he understood Wang Bin's intentions in an instant, smiled and nodded, and asked Wang Bin to make this matter real.
So early this morning, Wang Bin came to the Yamen, and happened to meet Tie Wuxin, so he decided to let Tie Wuxin go and bring Hu Yu here, even if Shang Kun was dissatisfied, there was Tie Wuxin in front of him, and he could deduce that Lord Fu Yin put pressure on the Yamen, and Tie Wuxin was in a hurry to solve the case, so he had to try the case in advance.
......
After passing through the corridor, Tie Wuxin led Hu Yu to the outside of the public hall, and after being informed by the officials guarding the door, he crossed the threshold and came to the front of the public case.
In the public court, in addition to Wang Bin, who was sitting behind the public case, there was also a desk on the left side of the public case, and behind the desk sat a young clerk.
Originally, Hu Yu's case didn't need Wang Bin to try it personally, even if it was Tie Wuxin, he wouldn't try these small cases such as fights and brawls, so Wang Bin didn't beat the drum to go to the court, and he didn't stand guard in the court, just called the clerk to make a record.
Tie Wuxin bowed down and walked to the front of the public case, flicked the hem, knelt on the ground and saluted Wang Bin and said: "Xiaguan Tie Wuxin, I have seen the adult, Hu Yu has already brought it, and please make a decision." ”
Although the etiquette of Dacheng is cumbersome, and there are various etiquettes between officials at all levels, but the rules are dead, people are alive, except for formal occasions or not very familiar with each other, in private, everyone only bows with fists, and rarely bows.
However, Tie Wuxin is very old-fashioned, no matter what the occasion, he meticulously implements the rules issued by the Ministry of Etiquette, so Tie Wuxin is a wonderful flower in Dongming City, no matter how big or small the officials will feel a headache when they see him.
Hu Yu stood next to Tie Wuxin, just bowed to Wang Bin behind the public case and hugged his fists, which was considered a salute, and then stood aside with a smile and looked at Wang Bin after the public case.
Wang Bin looked Hu Yu up and down, wanting to take a closer look at what was so strange about this Hu Yu, who was beaten half to death by the commander of the Praetorian Guard and was treated as a guest by Lord Yin.
And Hu Yu also stared at the two slender whiskers on Wang Bin's mouth, and at first glance, this person looked treacherous.
"Is the person in the hall Hu Yu?" Wang Bin took the lead in asking Hu Yu, this is the standard process of interrogating cases, Wang Bin must ask like this, because their conversations will be recorded by the clerk next to them and handed over to the Criminal Department, if the name is not asked, the Criminal Department will reject the file and leave a label on the presiding judge's performance appraisal that he does not understand the rules.
"It's Xiaomin. Hu Yu owed a debt and said calmly.
Wang Bin glanced at Tie Wuxin, who was still kneeling on the ground, and said majestically: "Since it is a small people, why don't you kneel when you see this official?"
The Ministry of Rites of Dacheng has a clear rule that the white-bodied people need to bow down when they see officials above the seventh grade, so Wang Bin's request is not excessive.
Hu Yu doesn't know these rules, he grew up in the mountains since he was a child, except for his third uncle, he has never knelt down to worship any living person, it is a request to Wang Bin, Hu Yu just smiled indifferently, and said: "Back to the adult, the little people are the mountains and wilderness, kneeling in the heaven and the earth, worshiping their parents, but they have never bowed down to others." ”
Wang Bin squinted his small eyes slightly, and put his right hand on the shocking wood, but after thinking about it for a while, he didn't slap it. Today's purpose is to help Hu Yu redress his grievances and cure Shangbin for a crime of oppressing good people, since this is the case, then it would be a bit nondescript to treat Hu Yu for another crime of disrespect.
"Kneel to heaven and earth, worship your parents, this is a good saying, since this is the case, the official will exempt you from etiquette, iron catcher, you also get up and reply." ”
"Master Xie. Tie Wuxin stood up, retreated to the side, left the venue to Hu Yu, and waited for Wang Bin's interrogation.
Hu Yu smiled slightly, arched his hand towards Wang Bin and said, "Then Xiaomin will thank you." ”
Wang Bin took a case file on the public case in his hand, and asked Hu Yu: "Your case file has already been read by the official, you said that Shang Bin gathered a crowd to surround you first, but there is someone to testify?"
At that time, there were many onlookers, and many people knew Shang Bin, and these people could testify for Xiaomin. Hu Yu didn't know Wang Bin's intentions, but he still told the truth what happened that night.
Wang Bin turned his head, looked at Tie Wuxin and asked, "Tie Zhutou, is what Hu Yu said true?"
Tie Wuxin walked to the front of the public case, clasped his fists and said: "Lord Hui, Xia Guan sent someone to visit the place where the incident occurred yesterday, and there were indeed several people who saw it with their own eyes at that time, which is consistent with what Hu Yu said, and can be testified. ”
Wang Bin was shocked and said loudly: "Since this is the case, then pass on the bitter master of this case to Shang Bin to ask questions." ”
Not long after, Shang Bin was escorted to the public court by two officials.
Shang Bin looked good except for the thick white gauze on his neck, and he must have suffered nothing in prison, but when he looked at Hu Yu's smiling face, he was furious, and wanted to break free from the servants, and rushed up to beat Hu Yu, he didn't know that Hu Yu's injuries had healed, otherwise he would have to think about whether he could beat Hu Yu.
It's just that the officials behind him didn't let Shang Bin succeed, and the two catchers who were pushed away by Shang Bin's guards yesterday were taught a hard lesson by Tie Wuxin after returning to the yamen, and they remembered the encounter of the two catchers, so today they are guarding against Shang Bin all the time, just for fear of being freed by Shang Bin.
A loud bang came, Wang Bin slapped the startled wood, and asked loudly: "Who is in the hall, report your name." ”
Shang Bin stared at Hu Yu fiercely, deaf to Wang Bin's questioning.
Wang Bin slapped the startled wood again, pointed at Shang Bin and said, "Who is in the hall, this official is asking you, and he is truthfully recruited." ”
"Hmph!" Shang Bin turned around, looked at Wang Bin behind the public case, and said loudly: "My son Shang Bin, don't you know me?"
Regarding Shang Bin's attitude, Wang Bin secretly laughed in his heart, saying that dragons give birth to dragons, and phoenixes give birth to phoenixes, where is there a shadow of Shang Kun in this Shang Bin's performance, I'm afraid that this person is not Shang Kun's wife who stole the wild seeds brought back outside.
Although Wang Bin was thinking about dirty things in his heart, he still shouted majestically on the surface: "Don't you kneel down when you see this official?"
"Hehe, kneel to you, don't look at how big your hat is, I'm not afraid to crush you!" Shang Bin sneered, mocking mercilessly.
Wang Bin, who was still snickering in his heart, was blushed by Shang Bin's words, and once again slapped the shocking wood, and said loudly: "Boldly disdain the people, dare to defy the court, come on, drag this person down and take the twenty boards seriously!"
Hu Yu on the side kept smiling, this Shang Bin is really domineering, he dares to be so arrogant in the court, he really has no brains. Hu Yu quietly glanced at Wang Bin after the public case, through Wang Bin's attitude towards Shang Bin just now, he could see a little way, the Queen Mother's family is planning to take action against the Shang family, it seems that there is nothing to do with this case.
Shang Bin still couldn't see the current situation clearly, and shouted loudly: "You dare to beat me? I can tell you, if I have a single hair missing from my body, my father will definitely not let you go!"
