Chapter 231: Before the Trial
In fact, according to ancient customs, the entire New Year is counted as the New Year, so the Criminal Department and Dali Temple generally do not try cases during the New Year, and the court will not kill people in the New Year, unless someone wants to find it unhappy, and they have to commit crimes in the New Year, so that the Criminal Department and Dali Temple have to go out to arrest people.

Therefore, in the first month of the first month, the criminal department and Dali Temple should have had an accident first, and then they appeared, which was passive, but Dali Temple sent a summons to the Cao family and his wife on the seventh day of the first month, which means that Xing Shijie, the Zhengqing of Dali Temple, made it clear that he wanted to make the Cao family and his wife unhappy!
The three girls of the Xia family not only got rid of the plague themselves, but also saved the life of a village, and the whole family that lived in the village was still the uncle of the dynasty, Cao Xiangming sometimes thought about it, and always felt that this routine of opening the golden finger was really like his "fellow villager", but then think about what Xia Lily said in the court, he didn't falsely accuse him or think about killing him, and he has always been very ladylike, and her father and brother came forward to do something, and he didn't feel like it.
Think about it again, yes or no, what if he can still tell the Xia family that your daughter is crossing over? What about the evidence? You can't take yourself as evidence, right? Moreover, the Cao family already owes the Xia family several lives, and if you want the Xia family to know that their youngest daughter is actually dead, they may hate the traverser, but can they hate the Cao family even more?
It's better not to say it, if you don't say it, the Cao family and the Xia family are not really immortal.
Cao Xiangming studied the case carefully, and still felt that there was no sufficient evidence in Dali Temple, Xia Lily was alive, but the Lotus Nunnery was gone, so there was no evidence to prove that Lu Qingying deliberately murdered, and I have to praise Lu Qingying for doing things cleanly and without leaving a handle.
There is no evidence left for the Xia family's affairs, and the matter of the Lu family's youngest son is even more illusory, saying that there can be a spell to make someone die for someone, what about the magic stick?
As for the Xia family's slaves and maids who were killed, it was a human life lawsuit, but it was not Lu Qingying's own hands, and the few family members who really executed it have not admitted it so far, so there is still no evidence in Dali Temple.
There is also the matter of the Lotus Nunnery, which is directly aimed at his case, but Cao Xiangming can be sure that he didn't do it, and besides, can he be sentenced based on the words of the little nun?
After thinking about it, Cao Xiangming felt that the opening of the court trial was just a formality, he was an official of the imperial court and was noticed by the world, and Dali Temple did not dare to use torture to make a move.
Cao Xiangming has a bottom in his heart, and then he looks at Lu Qingying's recent haggard appearance, he is still distressed, he still remembers that when he first entered the capital and went out of the limelight, he went to the suburbs with many admirers, and someone pointed to a bunch of ladies to show him: "Over there, they are all young ladies from high-ranking officials and nobles in the capital, if we can be named on the gold list, maybe we will be the son-in-law of their family."
Cao Xiangming looked over, and then at first glance, he was attracted by a girl in a purple Luo shirt who was flying a kite by herself, to paraphrase a sentence in the film and television drama, "The moment I saw her, I knew I was finished......"
In order to marry Lu Qingying, Cao Xiangming is very attentive, and after becoming a husband, he sings the love of his wife and wife, and Lu Qingying has always been tolerant of the little troubles caused by his lack of local customs outside, and has solved them for him, thinking about the women who came to the door to destroy his family, Cao Xiangming felt that although he was unintentional, he was also a little sorry for his wife.
"Don't worry too much, they have no evidence, the daughter-in-law of the Wu family turned out to be a slave of our family, and the slave sued the master, and it was empty and unsubstantiated, Dali Temple would not and did not dare to convict us based on her words. Cao Xiangming couldn't help but soften his heart and comforted his wife.
"Hmm. Lu Qingying's eyes lit up, she knew what she was doing, and she would not leave a handle for people, so what she was most worried about these days was Cao Xiangming's attitude towards her, and now that she thinks about it, she still has to thank Dali Temple and let their husband and wife be together again.
What Cao Xiangming could think of, how could Xing Shijie not think that the Cao family and his wife had no experience in receiving summonses, otherwise they would have to look more carefully and carefully, and they would have known that they were not here as defendants today before going to court.
"What's going on?" Before the trial began, Cao Xiangming suddenly found that there was a problem with the people who came in the hall, Sun Yan, Gao Zihao, and a few old ones, who seemed to be teachers of Tai Academy and Guozijian, didn't someone come over again, it was actually Gao Zihao and his father, Guozijian Liquor Gao Wen.
The relationship between Cao Xiangming and Gao Wenwen is not good, because he laughed at people's names when he was young, and he was really young and vigorous, so that he didn't treat his friends sincerely, and now he is frustrated, Cao Xiangming understands the value of popularity.
Compared with the young people who worship Cao Xiangming because of a few lines of poetry and a few articles, there are a few old people present, such as the Guozi Priest Jiugao Article, the Dean of the Tai Academy Xue Yu, etc., all of them were slapped in the face by Cao Xiangming back then, but they were strong and successful, and they were too lazy to use small tricks to rectify the Cao family.
But it doesn't mean that there is no hatred, Cao Xiangming once wrote a poem about "meeting with a smile and enmity", then at least there must be a smiling face when meeting, but Cao Xiangming has never looked at people with his eyes, how can he be confused?
"Lord Cao......" Before the time of the trial, Xue Yu, the dean of the Tai Academy, thought about it and went over to bow his hand to Cao Xiangming, "I don't have something to ask Lord Cao, where did Lord Cao go after the students of my Tai Academy went out in Dali Temple that day?"
"What does that have to do with me?" After the accident of the students outside Dali Temple, Cao Xiangming sent someone to inquire, and when he heard that he had been uneasy about his life, he was afraid that someone would blame him, so when he heard Xue Yu ask this, of course he had to defend himself.
Xue Yu's face became even more ugly: "The cause of the incident will be judged by Dali Temple, but why did those young people gather outside Dali Temple, Lord Cao won't be unclear, right?"
"Yes, of course I know, they are going to avenge me, they are the ones who are against me, so how can I harm them!" Cao Xiangming said busily, he has always grasped this point, which is enough to prove that he did not do the accident to the students!
"Lord Cao, what Dean Xue means is that so many people have been injured or even killed for you, why don't you go and see them afterwards? Why can you act as if nothing happened?" Gao Zihao couldn't help but ask, how many classmates are more distressed because of Cao Xiangming's attitude!
......Cao Xiangming often provokes women outside, and when those women's emotions come to the door, he hides and lets his wife come forward to drive people away, how can he have the courage to meet those students and their families who have heard that they have suffered heavy casualties?
As for going to Xia's house with Lu Qingying to apologize, isn't it his fault, and no one died?
