Chapter 128: Fighting a Lawsuit (Part II)
The lawsuit on the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve is probably the first time since the founding of the Great Qi State. The people of Huaizhou Mansion did not expect it, and the defendant's widow Wang and her in-laws did not expect it.
On this day, the court will be heard, is it not bad luck for the county magistrate? But some people also sang praises, saying that this is exactly the expression of the county magistrate's honesty, justice, and selflessness.
On this day, many people who came to see the excitement braved the bitter cold to stand outside the yamen to watch. Some old people couldn't stand it, and told their sons in the family to look carefully and go back to explain when they had Chinese New Year's Eve and kept the New Year.
Cheng Wanyu was also very nervous, and she had never had this kind of experience in her two lives. At this time, she and Xiaocui, Xiaohong, Yang Guard, Shen Guard, and Tong Yong were all standing outside the door. Nervously and expectantly watching Guo Xiangshi fight this lawsuit, hoping that Chen Bingyi would be able to survive this catastrophe.
Lou County Ling was in high spirits today, and on the right sat Song County Cheng and Wei County Lieutenant. On the left side is the master sitting on the desk record, and the head catcher Cui Ximin standing aside with a treasure knife.
When Cheng Wanyu arrived, it was the turn of the widow Wang to kneel on the ground and cry and repeat the situation of the day.
"The slave family went to buy New Year's goods and went home, but I felt that there was someone who seemed to follow me all the time. The slave family only felt that he was alive when he turned around, so he hurried home. It's just that this person lost his conscience and rushed forward to tease the slave family. The slave family shouted for help, hoping that others could come over and help drive this disciple away. In the end, it was the slave's father-in-law who heard it, rushed out and took out a stick and knocked him unconscious. Then he found the head catcher Cui, and Cui, and Cui, the disciple, was arrested! β
The widow's words caused an uproar in the audience, and the public followed the widow to commit violence. It's really intolerable, and Chen Bingyi is still a military attache of the grade, it's really too undeserved!
Cheng Wanyu stood at the door and only felt that Widow Wang was full of nonsense, even if she looked better than Chen Bingyi's family. It will not confuse men in confusion and misconduct in broad daylight.
The Wang family's time was too short to ask for a lawyer. And Cui Ximin, who is the head catcher, has become the hope of the Wang family. It was he who brought Chen Bingyi, who had just woken up from a coma, back to the Yamen, and it was also he who confirmed that Chen Bingyi had made a big mistake.
Guo Xiangshi twisted his beard and hugged his fist at Lou Xian Ling with a straight face; "My lord, the villain has a few words to ask this victim!"
Lou County ordered Tong Yong's things. Naturally, it will be biased towards Chen Bingyi's side. Raised his hand and said, "You ask!" β
Guo Xiangshi twisted his eyebrows and said to Widow Wang: "You said that you went to buy New Year's goods, what did you buy?" β
The widow had already said this when she had come to the church for the first time. She also knew that she would ask these trivia questions this time. Then he raised his head and said softly: "The slave family bought two catties of yellow rice, and went to West Street to buy four pieces of tofu." β
Guo Xiangshi said again: "My lord, after the villain checked that the victim had indeed bought these things that day. And also invited the two shop pΓΉ Xiao Er she said, both of which can testify! β
Then came the little two of the rice shop and the tofu shop, and the two of them entered the yamen for the first time to testify and kowtowed. I honestly talked about the situation that day, and I really remember that the widow Wang bought something in the store that day.
Guo Xiangshi snorted coldly: "If the victim has amazing beauty, it is normal for the two juniors to remember it." But the victim is just an ordinary woman's family, why is it clearly remembered by Xiao Er in the shop pΓΉ where people come and go? β
He recruited Yang Guard and Xiao Cui. He said to the two little two: "These two people have been to your store yesterday, can you remember which one bought rice and which one bought tofu?" β
The two juniors were blinded, but they couldn't answer. Guo Xiangshi shouted: "If you can't answer, you are deliberately lying." Fooled adults, it is reasonable to cover up and hit the board! β
The two juniors were so frightened that they were covered in sweat, and they shouted for mercy and wronged. Although he shouted that he was wronged, he still couldn't remember whether Yang Guard and Xiaocui had been to the store.
"Then why were you so impressed by this victim? She's not your old customer, I don't believe it's such a coincidence! Guo Xiangshi said this, and everyone also felt that it was very reasonable.
Xiao Er, who sells rice, is very timid, and he said with a sad face: "I remember that she is not because she is good-looking." It's because she told people in my shop that my rice is very expensive. I was so angry that I got into an argument with her. In the end, she still bought some yellow rice, hum. If it's too expensive, don't buy it! β
The tofu Xiaoer next to him also raised his hand and shouted: "Adult, so am I." This eldest sister also made a big fuss in our house, first saying that our tofu was not fresh, and later disgusted that our tofu water was too much. Standing next to him and not leaving, he asked us if the tofu was brine. There were a lot of people that day, and our family's business was very good. No one paid attention to her, and then she deliberately pushed the person in front of her and broke a plate of tofu. She argued with the person in front of her for a long time, and then ran away! β
Guo Xiangshi nodded, turned to Lou County Commander and said, "My lord." It can be seen that the victim deliberately wanted the two juniors to remember her. Two of the most powerful witnesses were found at a fixed time and in a fixed place. As far as I know. The victim could not speak loudly on weekdays. It's so abnormal, it's really suspicious! β
Cui Ximin stood aside and sneered: "It's just the testimony of two juniors." Do you think it's suspicious? It's ridiculous! β
Guo Xiangshi said to everyone again: "In addition, I also found a strange thing. Based on the path the victim took, it's hard for me to imagine how the suspect followed her to her home and committed violence! β
The witnesses who went to court afterwards were the old man who was rescued by Chen Bingyi and ate wine with him that day, as well as the innocent thugs who were beaten.
Both sides confirmed that Chen Bingyi had indeed been in contact with them on the day of the accident. At the same time, it was the time when Widow Wang and the rice shop Xiaoer were arguing over the price.
"The restaurant where the suspect and the old man ate was far away from the rice shop, so the villain asked the fastest catcher in the yamen to try it. It is impossible to run to the rice shop and follow the victim in the time of a stick of incense. β
Guo Xiangshi said: "Even if the suspect is a military attachΓ©, it is impossible for him to have the ability to fly with wings. He had wine with the old man again, and went to the silk village to order fabrics. This is the order of the suspect at that time, please take a look! β
Lou Xian Ling took the account book in Guo Xiangshi's hand, which recorded what time and which person ordered what materials. From the address of this store, it can be seen that Chen Bingyi was indeed wronged.
Trishmin's face changed drastically, he didn't expect things to be so complicated! He just followed the procedure to record, and he didn't expect that there was a bigger conspiracy inside. Even if he hates Cheng Wanyu and dislikes Shi Jun for no reason, he is not a fool, how could he not see the cattiness in it.
The head catcher was no longer silent, and Guo Xiangshi said confidently: "My lord, there is another thing that is very strange. Mr. Wang was no more than five feet three inches tall, while the suspect was seven feet tall. How did Wang Laohan knock the suspect unconscious with a stick? β
Wang Laohan and Widow Wang were shocked, and the people above did not tell them these details. Now that the truth is about to be revealed, what will be the consequences?
Guo Xiangshi said softly: "Just yesterday morning, someone found the suspect's home. kept asking for 500 taels before the case could be revoked. β
This matter is still clear, what else can be said about the scam.
Lou Xian Ling slapped the case and shouted: "You guys tell the truth, what's going on?" β
Wang Laohan shuddered, biting his lip and refusing to speak. "Now you don't tell the truth, and there is no one to stand up for you anymore."
Guo Xiangshi sighed and said to everyone present: "The victim has been widowed in her mother-in-law's house for many years, and she is conscientious, diligent, and filial to her in-laws and neighbors. It's a pity that she still has two uncles below her who want to marry wives and have children, and the family has no money to give a dowry. At this time, someone came to find the Wang family. As long as the victim cooperates with a play, he can get 500 taels of silver. Not only were her two uncles able to marry and have children, but her in-laws could have better conditions to support themselves. β
Everyone was in an uproar, and Cheng Wanyu was stunned on the spot. There are women who are so virtuous that they don't care about their reputation to fulfill the happiness of their in-laws and uncles. Once things work out, what about herself? Does a widow have a ruined reputation and the courage to live? She really thought that her in-laws would be grateful for her 'filial piety' and treat her well?
Stupid!
When the widow saw that the matter was revealed, there was no point in continuing to act. She knelt under the hall and cried with a whimper: "The slave family is also a last resort, and if you don't be an in-law under the fence, you will be beaten and scolded at every turn." He also threatened to sell me to the land of flowers and willows! β
When Wang Laohan saw his daughter-in-law talking back, he immediately scolded. The matter is self-evident, and it can already be known that Chen Bingyi was victimized.
The question now is, who framed Chen Bingyi? Who is the black-hearted man behind it? What kind of grudge did he have with Chen Bingyi, and what kind of enmity wanted to frame him to such an extent?
Guo Xiangshi sighed and said: "This matter will be asked to Wang Laohan, if you tell Lord SΓΉ who is behind your back." Adults will read that you are dedicated to your two sons, and you will also open up the net. β
Then he said to the widow king, "Seeing that you are so pitiful, I will also ask the lord to be kind and sentence you to leave." According to the law of my Great Qi Kingdom, if a widow wants to remarry, her husband's family must issue a wife letter! β
The king's widow was pardoned, and knelt on her knees, and kowtowed. Shouting: "Thank you, thank you!" β
Cheng Wanyu breathed a sigh of relief, Chen Bingyi didn't have a big deal this time. It's just that I vaguely feel that there seems to be a back hand in the back, and I just want to find the black hand in the back.
Although Wang Laohan refused to tell the origin of the person, because the Chinese New Year temporarily stopped the thorough investigation.
Lou County ordered Chen Bingyi to be acquitted, and everyone cheered. Although the widow was sentenced to one month's imprisonment, she would leave her husband's house when she came out. It is not a crime in vain!
Chen Bingyi walked out of the yamen and bowed deeply to Cheng Wanyu. (To be continued) R466
