Chapter 170: Branches
The lobby of Jingzhao Mansion is actually not much different from the ordinary county office, but it is generally larger, and it looks a little empty. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Lan Jing sat on the left side of the lobby, looking at the people gathered at the door chattering and discussing, and suddenly felt a little dazed, as if he was watching TV.
The yacha who went to Fengshan Town escorted Master Zhu in, and he looked like he was in his forties and fifties, with a big round face, slightly fat, and a little embarrassed, a few strands of hair hanging down, and his clothes were wrinkled.
After kneeling down, he kept kowtowing and shouting grievances, and he didn't forget to stare at Ruyi who was kneeling beside him a few times.
The bustard had not yet waited for the person she was waiting for, and her heart was terrified. Now when I see someone shouting grievances, I am busy shouting grievances.
Zheng Haoran patted the startled wood, and the two were frightened for a moment. "If you are wronged or not, this official will review it clearly, and will not frame anyone, nor will he let anyone go. ”
"Now, when the officer asks, he will answer by name, and if there is a lie, once it is discovered, he will be punished with thirty rods. Zheng Haoran said with a serious face.
The people in the hall all responded, and only after they answered Zheng Haoran did he start to ask, and the first thing he asked was Master Zhu, "Are you Zhu Dafu?
Zhu Dafu hurriedly said: "The villain is Zhu Dafu, she, she is the descendant of the villain's family called Ruyi." ”
Zheng Haoran nodded, "Why did you sell her to Hualou?"
"She made a mistake, and the villain sold her. Zhu Dafu lowered his head weakly as he spoke. He couldn't have said in the lobby that because he wanted to assault someone, but the girl didn't agree, and scratched him, so he sold her in a fit of rage.
Buying and selling people is a common thing in large households, if it is someone else, he can be justified, but this Ruyi is not a death contract, she signed a five-year living contract, after this year, she will be free next year.
"My lord, the slave and the maid did not make a mistake, and he has no right to sell the slave and the maid, and the slave and the maid only sold themselves into slavery for five years. Ruyi said in a hurry.
"As long as you are still a descendant of the Zhu family within five years of this contract, why can't the Zhu family sell it?" Yu Feixiang said as he strode in.
He was dressed in a pale robe and looked arrogant, and his appearance immediately caused the crowd to exclaim, "It's Champion Lang," "Champion Lang is so handsome,"
He smiled at the crowd around him, glanced at Lan Jing coldly, and then stood beside Zhu Dafu.
Lan Jing's eyes froze, what did he come to blind against?
Zheng Haoran obviously also knew Yu Feixiang, he paused slightly with his hand, he didn't know the relationship between Yu Feixiang and the Zhu family, so he was very puzzled, how could this new champion come here?
Time didn't give him time to think about these details, after all, everyone was waiting for his next words, he glanced at Yu Feixiang and said, "Move a chair and invite Yu Zhuangyuan to sit." ”
The yacha quickly brought the chair, put it on the right side, and retreated.
Yu Feixiang glanced at Lan Jing proudly, and walked to the seat with his head held high and sat down.
Yu Dafu was relieved when he saw that his son who was following Young Master Yu knew that this was the backer that his son had found, and his face immediately relaxed.
Lan Jing took a breath to relieve the pain at the corner of his mouth, stood up and arched his hand: "Lord Zheng, as the plaintiff, can I ask a few words?"
Zheng Haoran nodded, "Lord Tang, may I ask." ”
"First of all, I want to ask Yu Zhuangyuanye, what is the relationship between you and the defendant?" Lan Jing looked at Yu Feixiang with a smile on his face.
"He is a servant of my house. Yu Feixiang raised his head and said.
Lan Jing sighed, and said with a clear face: "So this is the rule set by your Yu family, sell the next person who is about to expire at a high price, your Yu family is so smart,"
Yu Feixiang's face changed, although he was a little impulsive, he was not stupid, Tang Chunjing said that his family lacked virtue and treachery, if he should say this, his family would be marked as making money by selling slaves in the future, his angry lips were closed, and he stared at Tang Chunjing on the opposite side fiercely.
Zhu Dafu saw the change in Yu Feixiang's expression, and knew that something bad was going to happen, so he hurriedly said: "It has nothing to do with the Yu family, it was she who made a mistake, so I wanted to sell her." ”
Some words can be clicked, so after she listened to Zhu Dafu's explanation, she immediately turned around and said: "Then, let's talk about the mistakes she made, you list them, don't forget that this is above the court, every word you say will become evidence in court, and finally report to the emperor, if you have lied, it will be found out that it is the crime of bullying the king." There are a lot of witnesses, think about it. ”
Zhu Dafu heard the words of the crime of bullying the king, his face turned a little pale with fright, and after rolling his eyes a few times, he stumbled and said: "She, she, she injured the villain, so that the subordinates who injured the lord could not stay, and the villain sold her." ”
"Why did she hurt you?" Lan Jing asked with her hands behind her back and a smile on her face.
Zhu Dafu broke out in cold sweat on his forehead, and swallowed his saliva, "She suddenly went crazy..."
"You just went crazy, my lord, he lied, he wanted the slave to be his fifth aunt, the slave and the maid refused, he used the slave and the maid strong, he called the little maid to guard the door, the slave and the maid locked up in the house, and then he came to be strong, the slave and the maid resolutely disobeyed, so he resisted, his strength was not as big as the slave and the maid, so he did not succeed, as a result, he did not give up and called the little maid in and asked them to catch the slave and the maid and threatened that if the slave and the maid were disobedient, the slave and the maid would buy the slave and the maid into the flower building, the slave and the maid brother just heard it and started with the little maids, and then the brother lost to them, and after that, he directly sold the slave and the maid。 ”
Ruyi's eyes were red, and he grabbed the conversation and said it loudly.
This matter has been spread throughout the Zhu family, he didn't dare to deny it, so he had to pin his hopes on Young Master Yu, he turned his head to look at Yu Feixiang and hoped that he would help him speak.
How could Yu Feixiang help him speak at this time, he is now the champion, and he will be the official of the imperial court in the future, so many people are watching, this is an obvious thing, if he interjects, it is equivalent to telling others that he cannot be a good official, for such a subordinate is not worth it, he hates Tang Chunjing, and also hates the father and son of the Zhu family, if Zhu Jun had just made it clear to him, he would not have waded into this troubled water.
Thinking of this, he glared at Zhu Jun fiercely, stood up and said with a righteous and awe-inspiring voice: "Lord Zheng, if there is evidence, please punish it severely, and our Yu family will not condone those who bend the law for bribes." ”
Zhu Dafu looked disillusioned when he heard this, and sat down on the ground.
"My lord, this person intends to commit adultery with the people's daughter, what crime should he be guilty of according to the law?" Lan Jing pointed at Zhu Dafu and asked.
Zheng Haoran did not directly announce the sentence, he glanced at Yu Feixiang, and saw that he did not speak, so he said: "Zhu Dafu violated the people's daughter, and was sentenced to three years in prison according to the law." ”
Seeing that the old bustard was sentenced so directly, he couldn't help but beat a drum in his heart.
