Chapter 173: Opening the court to hear the case

On the second day when Emperor Yong'an appointed You Shaojun as a juror and Xu Yi as a guard, Dali Temple opened the trial of the Xiao family and the Zheng family's case, which is actually not fast, because the Xiao family returned to Beijing half a month earlier than the Xia family, and they went to the Zheng family on the day they came back, grabbed their daughter and grandson back, and then asked the imperial doctor, and then determined from Xiao Peizhen's mouth that she would never be her mother-in-law's house again, so she handed over the paper.

It has been ten days since Dali Temple received the case, and it is time to start the trial, and Emperor Yong'an has hinted that the case will be closed before the year.

Bao Zhiqiang, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, did not put any pressure on the cases of the Xiao family and the Zheng family, Xiao Shangguan was reinstated, and Zheng Xun delayed the court after leaving office.

What is difficult to handle is the case of the Xia family and the Cao family, Xiahou Guan was reinstated, and Cao Xiangming stepped down after only two years as the prefect, looking similar to the situation of the Xiao family and the Zheng family, but what kind of person is Cao Xiangming, what kind of identity is Lu Qingying, can Zheng and his wife compare?

Lu Qingying is the granddaughter of the former prime minister, his grandfather presided over three terms of the imperial examination alone, and his protégés are all over the world, as a protégé of the Lu family, who would want the Lu family's reputation to be ruined?

Cao Xiangming not to mention, Cai Gao Badou is modest, every time he writes a poem and every article he writes, it is a sensation in the world, his admirers are very terrible numbers, if those people hear that Cao Xiangming is on trial, will they rush into Dali Temple, Bao Zhiqiang does not dare to guarantee.

Since Chen Ruoping, the Zhengqing of Dali Temple, has been suffering from illness, he no longer wants to be promoted to be Zhengqing, Lord Chen, come back quickly, he really wants to complain!

"Bao Shaoqing, can you open the hall?" You Shaojun reminded, what is the use of delaying it for a minute or two?

"Open the court, please invite the plaintiff and the defendant to come up." Bao Zhiqiang reluctantly announced, the small official is judging the big official, and he has to say please, what is this called.

Because it was the court officials who tore each other apart, the court was also afraid of being embarrassed, so they didn't let irrelevant people listen, the Xiao family came Xiao Shangshu, Mrs. Gu and their three sons, the Zheng family is Lord Zheng and his wife Mrs. Zhang, and their second son is Xiao Peizhen's husband Zheng Shutao.

Mrs. Gu and Mrs. Zhang are both old ladies in their early fifties who have been grandmothers for many years, and there are no idle people watching the trial, so they don't have hats and veils, of course, because they are the main fighting force, it will be more convenient to tear them apart after a while.

The face is not covered, everyone can easily see the expressions of the two families, the Xiao family is everyone is haggard and angry, the corners of Mrs. Gu's eyes are still a little red, I am afraid that I cried again just now, the Zheng family's father and son are also a little haggard, obviously this case is a blow to them, the only one who is red and energetic is Mrs. Zhang.

Among the cadres, only Mrs. Zhang was obviously different, Xu Yi couldn't help but whisper to You Shaojun: "That lady of the Zheng family won't think that today is not a trial, but her son is married again, right?" ”

You Shaojun frowned, after his childhood sweetheart was a famous doctor, he heard and witnessed his medical knowledge more than many people, in his opinion, Mrs. Zhang's situation is indeed very wrong, she is so thin, so energetic, her face is so good, it is too good to be normal!

If his Xiaozhu was there, he would definitely be able to see at a glance that something was wrong with Mrs. Zhang, unlike him who could only sense that something was not quite right, and then take precautions, "The two ladies are emotional, and it is safer to bring in the imperial doctor to prepare." ”

"I'll ask someone to go to the hospital right away." The two of them worked as jurors and guards for the first time, and if a fatal woman died here, would it affect their future and reputation? Xu Yi is a child of an official family, and his reaction is also very neat.

Bao Zhiqiang glanced at You Shaojun gratefully, he didn't expect this, he was so thoughtful at a young age, he was really the emperor's nephew!

In order to wait for the imperial doctor to come, Bao Zhiqiang politely asked the official to move chairs for the two adults and ladies to sit down, and then slowly read the sin of the Xiao family against the Zheng family.

The Xiao family sued the in-laws for four major crimes, first, Zheng Shutao tried in vain to kill his wife and son-in-law, and killed the unborn daughter-in-law, yes, Xiao Peizhen's child was a girl, and it was already formed when it flowed out.

Second, Zheng Shutao took a concubine as his wife.

Third, the husband and wife of the Zheng family connived at their son Zheng Shutao to kill his wife and son, kill his unborn daughter, and connived at his son to take a concubine as his wife.

Fourth, the Zheng family killed the loyal servants of the Xiao family for no reason.

In the end, the Xiao family asked to reconcile with the Zheng family and punish the sins of the Zheng family with law!

"Does Lord Zheng have any objections to this?" Bao Zhiqiang routinely questioned the defendant.

"Yes," it was Mrs. Zhang who spoke, "My adults don't know, my little daughter-in-law is pampered by her mother's family, and I also love her as my own daughter after coming to our Zheng family, and I am reluctant to let her give birth to a child in a row, she can be said to have never been wronged, when she knows that her mother's family is in prison and exiled, how can she withstand such a big thing, crying every day without saying, once she also took someone to quietly set a carriage to go to Jiangbei to find her father, she was pregnant at that time, who dared to let her go out with a big belly, persuaded her and did not listen, We could only let her recuperate in the yard, who knew that the baby in her belly still couldn't save ......"

Mrs. Zhang wiped her tears when she said this, and Mrs. Gu on the other side was so angry that she trembled: "Zhang Linxiu, don't you know what it means to be watching the sky, and dare to lie in the court?!" ”

Don't you dare to lie in court? No one present would believe that there was really a god watching and warning those who dared to do evil, Mrs. Zhang wiped her eyes and did not reassure Mrs. Gu's anger, she and Mrs. Gu were friends in the boudoir, she knew that Mrs. Gu couldn't say dirty words no matter how angry she was, and calling her boudoir name in public was the limit.

"My lord, my daughter was imprisoned, and the news of our husband and wife's imprisonment reached the Zheng family who were in Jiangdong at the time, and when our husband and wife were exiled, my daughter had been locked up for several months. The Zheng family locked up my daughter and grandson, and when they thought about it, they gave me a meal, and sometimes they didn't send food for three or two days, thanks to the loyal servants of my Xiao family who married the little girl, they slipped out of the wall and drilled the dog hole to find food, if it weren't for them, my daughter and grandson would have starved to death! ”

Xiao Shangshu saw that his wife was so angry that he couldn't speak for a while, so he said with tears in his eyes.

"It's nothing, your daughter loses her temper and doesn't eat, can our Zheng family still force it? Adults don't know, my little daughter-in-law is pampered and willful, she is pregnant and can't serve her husband, so I made the decision to give the second son a small one, but the concubine is not a flat wife, the girl is an honest and gentle one, but my little daughter-in-law just can't accept it, as soon as they meet, they will break the head of the family, I think the girl is quite pitiful, but also want to appease her to get along with the housemother in the future, so I put the wine for her, who knows that the outside will spread that my son married a flat wife, there is no thing at all. ”

Mrs. Zhang has obviously made preparations for a long time, and she has denied them one by one, each of which is Xiao Peizhen's own trouble, and Miss Xiao is jealous.
