It was Sisi and her mother-in-law, Liao, who came in.

This time when she returned to Beijing, Sisi sent a lot of silver home, her father and mother were very grateful, and Liao went into the house to ask Hui Niang for peace, and Liang Xinming met once.

Only, what testimony did they come to testify?

Liang Xinming looked at Sisi and Cui'er's similar appearances, a flash of inspiration, and hurriedly turned his face to ask Wang Heng, Wang Heng nodded at her, which meant this.

Tong Shigui saw Liao's and said in a lost voice: "Xiaomei!"

Liao glared at him angrily.

Lin Ping shouted, "Who is kneeling?"

Liao Shi was startled, and he was speechless.

Sisi raised her head and replied: "The maid's name is Sisi, and she is the maid in Lord Liang's mansion. This is the maid's mother. Eighteen years ago, she was a girl from a noble family. ”

Everyone was surprised, they didn't expect such a coincidence.

Lin Ping hurriedly asked: "Liao, so to speak, Cui'er is actually your own daughter? How did you leave the Tong family back then? How did Tong Shigui treat you?"

Sisi hurriedly pushed Liao's and motioned for her to reply quickly.

Liao Shi shuddered and said, "My lord, the people's woman...... Women's ...... He is not a human being, it doesn't matter if he sells a people's woman, and he doesn't treat Cui'er as a human ......."

She talked about the past upside down and in a chaotic manner, Lin Ping couldn't help asking, and finally figured out what happened: Liao's (Xiaomei) was originally a maid of the Tong family, was occupied by Tong Shigui, and was pregnant with Cui'er, and since then disaster has come, and she has been destroyed and bullied by the eldest woman in various ways. It was easy to give birth to Cui'er, and the situation did not improve, but the Tong family had an extra little girl. Grandma Tong was extremely jealous, and she scolded Xiaomei's mother and daughter endlessly, and Tong Shigui was like she didn't see it. Grandma Tong ordered the housekeeper in charge of the business to take Xiaomei to Huzhou and sell it. was bumped into by Tong Shigui, and Tong Shigui agreed. Because Grandma Tong's family is rich, Tong Shigui relies on his father-in-law more in business.

Liao's was sold to overseas merchants. A sudden typhoon caused two merchant ships to sink and defeat overnight, so Liao was sold again. This time she was lucky and was bought by a small trader, who was Sisi's father. The husband and wife came to the capital and lived hard by small trades.

Because she gave birth to three or four, it was difficult to raise her, that year I heard that the new champion wanted to buy a maid, and on the day of the champion parade on the street, Liao saw Liang Zhuangyuan, and felt that Sisi would have a good life in the future with such a person, so he asked Zhao Ziyi to send his daughter.

Liao said, she thought that Tong Shigui was ruthless, Cui'er was always his daughter, and she would not abandon her, but she was kicked out of the house and became a beggar.

Tong Shigui is undeniable at this time, but he quibbled and said: Your current daughter is in Lord Liang's mansion, so she naturally stepped on him with a dead hand, but he didn't know it back then.

Wang Heng did not quarrel with him, and sent a second group of witnesses.

The witness this time is a descendant of the Tong family, named Yan Pozi, who used to live in the same room with Xiaomei. After Xiaomei was sold, Mrs. Yan secretly took care of the young Cui'er. However, she is just a rough cleaning mother-in-law, with limited ability, and she can't protect Cui'er, so she can only watch Cui'er being kicked out of Tong's house. Because Cui'er was begging on the streets of Huayang Town, Grandma Tong disliked and lost the face of the Tong family and harmed her virtuous name, so she secretly asked people to drive away and beat Cui'er, and wanted to force Cui'er to leave Huayang Town, so she was clean. Cui'er was seriously injured, and it was that time that she was saved by Lin Xin'er. Lin Xin'er gave Cui'er a bag of silver, and Cui'er went to buy medicine to treat her injuries so that she could survive. This is what Cui'er told Yan Pozi, telling Yan Pozi not to worry about her, saying that the little grandmother of the Wang family would take her in.

Yan Pozi testified: The one who secretly did bad things for Grandma Tong was Grandma Tong's henchman, and when she said her name, she was the servant woman of the Tong family who testified just now.

Wang Heng concluded: "Tong Shigui has no family affection for Cui'er at all, and he has abandoned her a long time ago. Cui'er is alive and now and ignores her life or death, after many years, why did she suddenly sue Liang Xinming? It can be inferred that he must have been instructed to make false accusations!"

Everyone thinks so, this is too unreasonable.

Lin Ping "snapped" and shouted: "Tong Shigui, who instructed you to sue Lord Liang, and you didn't invite it quickly?"

Tong Shigui shouted: "The villain is wronged!"

He said that the Wang family is powerful, Wang Heng and Liang Xinming are in high positions, not the Tong family can compare, who in Huayang Town does not help the Wang family speak? He also said that Liang Xinming must have seen the resemblance of Sisi and Cui'er, and found out the origin of the Liao family, so he bought Sisi, just to let her mother and daughter exonerate themselves, otherwise, how can there be a mother who does not help her own daughter to avenge her own daughter, but helps the enemy?

Sisi said: "Nonsense! The adult didn't know my mother before. The adults bought us and we went to work soon, so how could we find out what to do. My mother is talking about your abuse of her and my sister, how can you help the adults say anything?"

She followed the ears and eyes of Green Wind Huanxi and others, and her speech was also very clever, and she hit the nail on the head to expose Tong Shigui's intentions to bite Liang Xinming.

Wang Heng asked: "My Wang family is powerful, so the people in Huayang Town help the Wang family speak." What do you mean by this: Even if the official brings all the neighbors of Huayang Town to testify, it can't prove that you abandoned your own daughter, right? Only you and these two daughters-in-law are telling the truth?"

Jing Kangdi's face sank, this is clearly a trick!

When Tong Shigui saw the faces of the emperor and the chief judge, his heart was empty, and he hurriedly said: "The villain didn't mean that, but the villain really didn't make false accusations. If Lord Liang didn't harm Cui'er, how did she escape? Why didn't she tell the emperor and the adults?"

He saw that Wang Heng wanted to condemn his intention to make a false accusation, so he slyly put aside this point, biting to death and saying that Liang Xinming had harmed Cui'er, asking her to explain the truth of the escape, and leading the focus of the interrogation to the issue of Liang Xinming's golden cicada coming out of his shell.

Of course, Wang Heng understood his intentions, and he did have the intention of inducing the direction of interrogation before, but now he can't avoid it anymore, otherwise he will show his weakness.

If you don't avoid it, you won't have a move?

Then wouldn't he have been in vain all these years!

Wang Heng stood up and arched his hand to the upper hand: "Your Majesty, my lords, Liang Xinming has never said how she escaped, because no one believes what she says." ”

Tong Shigui said: "I haven't said it yet, how do you know that no one believes it?"

Lin Ping shouted: "Shut up!"

Wang Heng also ignored Tong Shigui's troubles, and continued: "It is said that Wechen is good at criminal investigation, but Wechen has been tracking down the truth about Xin'er being devoured by the tiger for many years, and has not been able to make progress, which shows that the methods of Meng's mother and daughter to harm people are hidden. ”

Everyone nodded, they all knew it.

Wang Heng said again: "Back then, only Wu Fan saw Xin'er being swallowed by a tiger. Wu Fan also only saw the tiger eating people, and did not recognize whether it was Xin'er or Cui'er who was eating, let alone seeing Xin'er harm Cui'er. If he knew, could he have let Xin'er go at that time? Therefore, Wu Fan's claim that Xin'er had harmed Cui'er was pure slander. ”

Lin Ping nodded again, this inference is true.

Wang Heng continued: "Now that Wu Fan is dead, no one knows the situation at that time, and those with ulterior motives will take advantage of this matter to make a big fuss. As soon as Jin Chengyu heard that someone had sued Liang Xinming that day, he concluded that she had killed Cui'er without any interrogation. Why? Because Liang Xinming was aware of Jin Chengyu's diversion of the user's money, he wanted to strike first and put Liang Xinming to death! This is true of Kim Sung-woo and his ilk, and so are the anti-thieves! No matter what Liang Xinming says, they will not believe it!

Finally, his voice was filled with anger.

There was silence in the lobby.

In the silence, Wang Heng said quietly: "Actually, aside from the provisions of the law, this matter is obvious: the plaintiff is Tong Shigui, who abused and abandoned his own daughter, the witness is Wu Zikui, who was convicted of the common people, the defendant is Lin Xin'er, who also extended a helping hand to a beggar who he never knew, and Liang Xinming, who grew up to serve the country and the people, whose words are credible?"

Jing Kangdi and the others were shocked.

Wang Heng also said: "However, the Criminal Department pays attention to real evidence in the trial of cases, and cannot ignore the provisions of the law. Therefore, Weichen believes that the key to this case is to find out whether Tong Shigui is falsely accused. If he is falsely accused, he is dismissed and severely punished, and if he is not falsely accused, he should be interrogated. This is also in line with the trial procedure. ”

What is it that is falsely accused?

The corners of Liang Xinming's mouth curled slightly - she was the defendant in today's court trial, but she hadn't opened her mouth yet, so Wang Heng snatched it.

Emperor Jing Kang said majestically: "In this way, it will be tried according to what Wang Aiqing said." He looked at Lin Ping and Xie Yaohui, frowned slightly, and thought to himself that he was not as quick as Wang Aiqing and Liang Aiqing, so he didn't know what to do?

Lin Ping was very anxious in his heart, looking at Xie Yaohui, hoping that he could make another suggestion, whether it was loosening the stalemate of the case, or enlightening himself, it was okay.

Xie Yaohui shook his head slightly, he was out of line.

Although Wang Heng accused Tong Shigui of making a false accusation, there was no real evidence, and Tong Shigui's abandonment of his own daughter alone could not prove the false accusation. Similarly, Tong Shigui's lawsuit against Liang Xinming also lacks solid evidence. They could not set aside the letter of the law......

At this moment, there were officials in the hall going back and forth: "The Wang family said that there are new witnesses." ”

Lin Ping was overjoyed and said, "Spread quickly!"

Jing Kangdi also smiled.

Suddenly, the king led a man in.
