Chapter XVI: Heated Arguments in Court

Yang Yipu was stared at condescendingly by Xu Xingwen, his mind was a little flustered, and he said incoherently: "I have provided a service, I ...... I didn't consume it. ”

Xu Xingwen smiled slightly and said, "Lawyer Yang doesn't need to be nervous, please answer my question accurately, have you made a consumption in Guanyun Pavilion?

Yang Yipu calmed down and said, "That night, we went to Guanyun Pavilion, and we did enjoy the wine and food provided by Guanyun Pavilion, and watched the singing and dancing performance. ”

Xu Xingwen said: "What Lawyer Yang means is that that night, Guanyun Pavilion provided you with the corresponding services. ”

Yang Yipu nodded, "That's right." ”

Xu Xingwen asked again: "So, did Lawyer Yang pay for the service?"

Yang Yipu shook his head and said, "No." ”

"Why not?"

Yang Yipu said: "That night, when we went to check out, the waiter at Guanyun Pavilion told us that our consumption, Mrs. Yunying was free of charge. ”

Xu Xingwen said with a smile: "Lawyer Yang has such a big face, Mrs. Yunying has always been arrogant, and few people can enter her eyes." It's amazing that she can give you a free order. You turn your head and sue Guanyun Pavilion. Awesome, awesome. ”

The audience in the auditorium burst into laughter.

In fact, when Yang Yipu stated the story just now, he had already said it again. Xu Xingwen deliberately asked again, just for the last sentence, the boss of Guanyun Pavilion gave you a free order, and you turned around and sued others. This kind of behavior is too unjust, a typical scolding cook after eating.

In this way, Xu Xingwen deliberately instilled in the jurors and the audience the message that "Yang Yipu is a despicable villain who will take revenge".

Yang Yipu's face turned red suddenly, and he hurriedly defended loudly, "At that time, we didn't plan to let Guanyun Pavilion waive the order, but we were going to pay. Besides, Lady Cloud Shadow wasn't exempted because of me. ”

Xu Xingwen said: "Okay, put aside the free order in advance." At that time, you enjoyed the wine and food provided by Guanyun Pavilion, and watched the singing and dancing, is that true?"

Yang Yipu nodded, "It's a fact." ”

Xu Xingwen turned to He Xili and said, "Honorable judge, I'm done asking. ”

Yang Yipu knew that he had lost a point just now. He immediately stood up and said to Hexiley, "Honorable judge, I want to ......"

He Xili raised his hand to stop him, "No, you don't want to. It's not your turn to speak yet. Sit down. ”

Yang Yipu looked embarrassed and sat down with his head bowed.

He Xili said: "Next, start summoning witnesses to appear in court. Plaintiff, do you need to call witnesses to appear in court?"

Yang Yipu immediately raised his head and said continuously: "Yes, yes." I...... I implore the court to summon witness No. 1, Gu Xingrong, a waiter at Guanyun Pavilion. ”

Wang Xiaotian had been accompanying Gu Xingrong and waiting in the lounge next to the courtroom. Hearing that Yang Yipu was going to summon Gu Xingrong, Wang Xiaotian gently held Gu Xingrong's little hand and comforted her: "Don't be nervous, no matter what they ask, tell the truth." If you don't know, just tell the truth that you don't know, and don't say things like 'I think, I guess', it's easy to be caught by others. ”

Gu Xingrong nodded.

The staff walked over and motioned for Gu Xingrong to enter the courtroom.

Gu Xingrong followed the staff into the courtroom with a worried face and stood on the witness stand.

Yang Yipu walked over and said to Gu Xingrong: "Miss Gu, please tell the court your identity." ”

Gu Xingrong stumbled and said, "I, I, I'm from Guanyun Pavilion, waiter." ”

Seeing Gu Xingrong's panicked expression, Yang Yipu's mood stabilized and asked, "Miss Gu, on the evening of May 16, did you receive me?" ”

Gu Xingrong nodded, "Received." ”

"Did you tell me, 'Guanyun Pavilion has its own rules, which are not in line with your lawyer's philosophy, please don't come in the future'?"

Gu Xingrong nodded again, "I said it." ”

Yang Yipu was secretly proud and asked, "Do you often say this to guests?"

Gu Xingrong shook his head and said, "No." You are the first. ”

The crowd immediately burst into laughter.

Yang Yipu's face was a little embarrassed, and he quickly asked, "Did you say it yourself, or did someone ask you to say it?" ”

Gu Xingrong said: "Someone asked me to say this. ”

"Who is it?"

Gu Xingrong hesitated for a moment and said, "Our boss, Mrs. Yunying." ”

Yang Yipu immediately asked, "Why did she tell you to say this?"

Gu Xingrong replied very simply, "I don't know." ”

Yang Yipu asked Gu Xingrong a few more detailed questions, and then ended the inquiry.

"Defense lawyer, do you have anything to ask Witness No. 1?"

Xu Xingwen stood up and said, "Yes." ”

He came to the witness stand and asked Gu Xingrong with a pleasant face: "Miss Gu, did this gentleman go to Guanyun Pavilion alone?"

Gu Xingrong shook his head, "No." The three of them went together. ”

"Do you know any of these three guests, or are they all strangers?"

Gu Xingrong said: "I know one of them. ”

Xu Xingwen continued to ask her, "What's his name?"

"Wang Xiaotian. ”

"How do you know him?"

Gu Xingrong hesitated for a moment and said, "This was a long time ago. At that time, I was working as a bounty hunter with my father and brother......"

Yang Yipu immediately shouted: "Oppose." Objecting to witnesses telling about matters unrelated to the case. ”

He Xili pondered for a moment and said, "The opposition is valid. Witness, you don't have to answer this question asked by the defense lawyer. ”

Xu Xingwen nodded and said, "Then, I'll ask a different way." Miss Gu, are you very familiar with that Wang Xiaotian?"

Gu Xingrong nodded, "Very familiar." ”

Xu Xingwen said: "The boss of your Guanyun Pavilion, is Lady Yunying also familiar with Wang Xiaotian?"

Gu Xingrong nodded, "Yes." Very familiar. ”

Xu Xingwen said: "So, what is their relationship?

Gu Xingrong said: "It's closer than a friend." Wang Xiaotian called Mrs. Yunying her sister. ”

Xu Xingwen suddenly realized and asked, "So, Mrs. Yunying exempted the orders of the three guests, which is to save Wang Xiaotian's face." ”

Gu Xingrong nodded and said, "Yes." ”

Xu Xingwen said again: "When did you meet the three guests that day?"

Gu Xingrong said: "I have seen them since they entered the Guanyun Pavilion. Later, I took the three guests to the private room, and I was there until they left. ”

Xu Xingwen asked, "From the time the three guests entered the Guanyun Pavilion to the time before the checkout was waived, what happened in between?"

Gu Xingrong thought about it and told in detail what he saw and heard at that time.

After listening to this, Xu Xingwen said to He Xili: "Honorable judge, I have finished my questioning of witness No. 1. I kindly ask for the questioning of Witness Three. ”

He Xili nodded, "Agreed." ”

Yang Yipu immediately stood up and protested: "Honorable judge, according to the procedure, the plaintiff's lawyer should ask questions first. ”

Xu Xingwen said: "Honorable judge, in order to restore the whole incident, I need to question different witnesses in a row, so that everyone can have a complete impression of this matter. ”

He Xi thought for a moment and said, "The defendant's lawyer will question Witness No. 3 first. ”

Xu Xingwen smiled smugly at Yang Yipu.

Gu Xingrong walked back, and Wang Xiaotian walked into the courtroom. The two looked at each other, Wang Xiaotian nodded lightly at Gu Xingrong.

Gu Xingrong immediately breathed a sigh of relief and put his mind at ease. She was stunned just now, and as for what she said, she can't remember anything now, and she doesn't know if she messed things up. Seeing Wang Xiaotian's approval of herself, she was relieved.

Wang Xiaotian came to the witness stand. Xu Xingwen stepped forward and asked, "The name of the witness." ”

"Wang Xiaotian. ”

Xu Xingwen asked again: "What is the relationship between the witness and the plaintiff?"

Wang Xiaotian glanced at Yang Yipu, who lowered his head and didn't dare to look directly at him, and said slowly: "On May 16,

It was our first time meeting and we didn't know each other before. ”

Xu Xingwen said: "Since you didn't know each other before, it was the first time you met that day, why did you go to Guanyun Pavilion together?"

Wang Xiaotian replied: "Because we were invited by a mutual friend, we went to Guanyun Pavilion together." ”

Xu Xingwen said, "What is your relationship with the Cloud Shadow Lady of Guanyun Pavilion?"

Wang Xiaotian thought for a while and said, "Lady Yunying has a life-saving grace for me. I respect her as my sister, and she regards me as my brother. ”

Xu Xingwen asked, "Since your relationship is so close, you should often go in and out of Guanyun Pavilion, right?"

Wang Xiaotian nodded, "Yes." However, I always go during breaks. Mrs. Yunying didn't let me go to Guanyun Pavilion during business hours. ”

"Why don't you let you go during business hours?"

Wang Xiaotian said calmly: "Because I haven't reached the age of eighteen yet." ”

Xu Xingwen said, "When you first entered the Guanyun Pavilion, didn't Lady Yunying notice you?"

"Found out. ”

"Didn't she kick you out?"

Wang Xiaotian shook his head and said, "No." She said that for the sake of her friend's face, she would not make an example. ”

Xu Xingwen looked surprised and said, "Since she wasn't angry at the time, why did she refuse this Mr. Yang to go to consume later? What happened in the middle?"

Wang Xiaotian told what happened in the middle in detail, including Yang Yipu's words and deeds, without the slightest omission.

Xu Xingwen listened and said: "In other words, if it weren't for the fact that later, this Mr. Yang verbally collided with Mrs. Yunying, and Mrs. Yunying never said anything about refusing to consume?"

Wang Xiaotian nodded, "Yes." ”

Xu Xingwen asked, "What is the reason for her sudden change of attitude?"

Wang Xiaotian shook his head and said, "I don't know." ”

Xu Xingwen said to He Xili: "Honorable judge, I'm done asking. ”

"Plaintiff, do you need to question Witness No. 3?"

Yang Yipu glanced at Wang Xiaotian quickly, shook his head, and said, "No." ”

He Xili said: "Witness No. 3 can leave. ”

Wang Xiaotian left the witness stand and walked out.

Xu Xingwen said: "Distinguished judge, I would like to invite the second witness to appear in court. ”

He Xili glanced at the case file and said, "Plaintiff, do you agree?"

Yang Yipu immediately said as if he had been beaten with chicken blood: "Agreed." ”

He Xili shouted, "Witness No. 2 is invited to appear in court." ”

Wang Xiaotian was very puzzled, who was the No. 2 witness? The judge was so polite that he used the word "please". And he and Gu Xingrong are both summonsed.

Wang Xiaotian was thinking about it when he saw Yan Mei head-on. He was stunned.

Yan Mei was dressed in a grand costume and was extremely beautiful, as if she had come to attend a grand dinner party rather than to testify in court.

Ever since Yan Mei entered the courtroom, all eyes had been on her. Everyone, both men and women, held their breath and felt as if they were all in a dream, and even the slightest movement, even a louder movement, would wake them up from the dream.

Yan Mei came to the witness stand with a great demeanor, looked at He Xili with a sluggish face, smiled slightly, and said in a sweet and crisp voice: "Honorable judge, I'm here." ”

Everyone came to their senses and immediately began to talk about the beauty of Yanmei and the strange scene that had just happened.

He Xili came to his senses, and immediately knocked on the gavel and said, "Silence." Ask the defence counsel to question the witnesses. ”

Xu Xingwen came to the witness stand, bowed lightly to Yanmei, and said, "Hello, Mrs. Yunying." ”

Yan Mei generously returned the salute and said, "Hello." ”

Xu Xingwen said: "I'm sorry to meet you under this circumstances. ”

Yanmei smiled slightly and said, "It's okay." ”

Yang Yipu stood up and said dissatisfiedly: "Oppose." Objection to defence counsel talking to witnesses about matters unrelated to the case. ”

Xu Xingwen shrugged his shoulders and said, "It's just a polite greeting, the plaintiff doesn't need to make a fuss like a cat with a tail, right?"

Everyone laughed.
