Chapter 430: Witnesses

"Not yet."

The official glanced at Ye Xiaoyu and said cautiously.

"So whatever the prisoner says that day, don't pay too much attention to it."

It is estimated that he was afraid that Ye Xiaoyu would not be able to bear it, so when the official left, he said again.

After the official left, Ye Xiaoyu sat down on the chair and opened the letter by the way. There is nothing on it, just to inform Ye Xiaoyu of the time to go to court.

After such a long period of time, that person hadn't confessed yet, thinking of the scene that day, Ye Xiaoyu couldn't help but clench his fists. She can't let herself be stabbed in vain, this time she can take advantage of the court to meet this person for a while.

*

The rainy season in Yung Chau is long, lasting from the beginning of February to June, and then it will be sunny for a month or two, and then it will be autumn rainy again. So in the middle of the year, there is only winter, and there is a rare period of sunny days.

And May, is the rainiest season of the year in Rongzhou City, from morning to night, rainy and hazy, wet everywhere.

But the people in Rongzhou City seem to have become accustomed to this kind of weather, no matter how heavy the rain is or how bad the climate is, the streets are still full of pedestrians. Although she has lived here for more than three years, Ye Xiaoyu still doesn't like this kind of weather, and usually when it rains, in order not to splash her body of water, she usually doesn't go out if she can. But there are exceptions to everything, such as today, because she has to go to court, she can only travel in the rain early in the morning.

The third time came to the court, for the preceding procedure. Ye Xiaoyu was already familiar with all kinds of things, and she didn't have the surprise of coming here for the first time a few years ago.

Because of her status as a victim, Ye Xiaoyu was given a small seat on the side of the court, and this time, she was able to sit on it and answer without having to kneel on the ground with the prisoner as she did a few years ago.

Zou Yu was shocked, and the trial of the case officially began.

When the prisoner Liang Fei was brought up by the officials, he glanced at Ye Xiaoyu meaningfully.

Sensing the gaze, Ye Xiaoyu replied to him fiercely.

"What is your name, prisoner, and where does you live?"

Zou Yu began to ask every necessary routine question.

"Back to my lord. The grass people's name is Liang Fei. It is a great countryman. ”

Liang Fei replied sincerely, but with a little fear.

Daye people?

Ye Xiaoyu, who was sitting next to her, couldn't help but want to laugh, this answer was really sincere.

"Where do you live?"

Zou Yu then asked.

"I'm from Rongzhou City."

Liang Fei looked honest.

"What did you get arrested for?"

"I don't know why. No one told me what had happened. That's how I ended up in prison. ”

Liang Fei lowered his head and said. The voice was full of grievances.

"Now the complaint will be read out by the Imperial Observatory."

After the investigation of the basic situation of the prisoner was completed, according to the procedure of the court trial, Zou Yu said to Guo Ming, who was sitting in the court.

Guo Ming began to read the complaint aloud.

Ye Xiaoyu sat in the public court. Because it was a fence with her back to the gate of the public hall, she couldn't see how many people were watching, and she didn't know if Wang Huaiqing was here today.

He promised that he would come, but it was not a big deal, it was raining heavily, if he didn't come, Ye Xiaoyu wouldn't blame him for it.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ The prisoner Liang Fei was malicious, disregarded the lives of others, the evidence was conclusive, and his actions had constituted the crime of intentional injury. ”

The indictment was very long, and Guo Ming read it for a long time before he finished reading it all.

She suddenly admired Guo Ming a little. Although in Lu Yishou's case a few years ago, she and Guo Ming were opposites, but now that I think about it, if it was me at that time, standing in Guo Ming's position, it seems that what I could do is the same.

"Prisoner Liang Fei, do you have any objections to the accusations made by Yushitai just now?"

Zou Yu's voice came from above.

"Lord Hui, I was wronged. I didn't hurt anyone at all. ”

Liang Fei shouted.

With this shout, the sound of onlookers talking came from the fence behind him.

"Silence!"

Zou Yu patted the shocked wood and motioned for everyone to be quiet.

"Why do you have objections?"

After calming down, Zou Yu asked.

"Back to my lord, I didn't hurt anyone at all. Here's the thing, on the third day of March, I originally planned to take the poisonous scorpion to the pharmacy on East Street to sell it, and I heard that you were giving free pastries to the people, and I happened to pass by there, so I wanted to go in and have a look, but there were too many people, but because I heard that the pastries looked very strange, I was unwilling to leave like this, so I bypassed the crowd and ran to the shop, wanting to see what the pastries that were praised by so many people looked like. ”

"When I walked into the shop, I hadn't even seen the pastry when suddenly I was grabbed from behind by a man and shouted for the thief. I thought I was thinking that I was being taken for a thief, so I didn't resist, I just wanted to wait for them to calm down and explain to them. ”

Liang Fei paused, and then continued.

"But what I didn't expect was that they didn't listen to my explanation at all, and they didn't believe me, so they directly called the catcher and arrested me."

"Is there anything else you would like to say?"

After listening, Zou Yu's expression did not change.

"No, that's all. My lord, I was really wronged. ”

Liang Fei said with a sad face.

"Who first found you?"

Zou Yu asked.

"It's a young brother, I can't remember what it looks like."

Liang Fei didn't look at Ye Xiaoyu the whole time.

"Was there any bloodshed at that time?"

Zou Yu flipped through the file and asked.

"Bloodshed? My lord, do you mean stabbing people? When I was about to be arrested, the scene began to be chaotic, and then it seemed that I heard that someone had been stabbed. ”

Liang Fei made a difficult reminiscence.

"Where were you when you were stabbed?"

"I was under arrest and in detention. It's not far away. ”

Seeing that Zou Yu began to delve into this issue, Liang Fei suddenly became alert.

"When did you start being arrested and detained?"

Zou Yu then asked.

"Lord Hui, since I was in the shop, I have been arrested and detained."

The public hall and the surroundings were unusually quiet, and everyone was listening carefully to the Q&A between Zou Yu and Liang Fei.

Especially Guo Ming, at this time, he was even more holding his breath, this Liang Fei lied all the way when he was in his hands, and when he arrived in court today, he seemed to be repeating his old tricks.

"In the meantime. Have you ever broken away? ”

Zou Yu seems to be interested in this issue.

"Nope. I've been arrested and detained. From the shop to the prison, they didn't leave me. ”

Liang Fei replied in the affirmative.

He had to answer yes, otherwise Zou Yu would definitely think that he had stabbed Ye Xiaoyu during the time he was out of arrest.

"During this period, has there been a change in the arrest that is holding you? Or have you left? ”

Zou Yu asked again.

"Back to my lord. No. I've been arrested and detained. They didn't make substitutions. Didn't leave either. So I didn't have the time or the opportunity to stab someone. ”

Liang Fei said, his eyes unintentionally swept over Ye Xiaoyu's body.

"Do you have to hold your catch?"

Zou Yu continued.

"I recognize you, my lord."

Liang Fei hesitated. replied.

He could only answer and recognize, otherwise he would not be able to connect with the previous question.

"Victim Ye Xiaoyu, you state what happened at the time of the crime."

Zou Yu turned the question to Ye Xiaoyu.

"Lord Hui, the prisoner is simply talking nonsense, and the truth is not what he said at all."

Regarding Liang Fei's nonsense just now, she was able to hold back and not have a seizure immediately, Ye Xiaoyu really admired her forbearance ability.

"When I was handing out the cake that day, I suddenly saw a man sneaking towards the back door, and I was afraid that it would be a thief, so I followed him. The man walked through the back door to the shop, and was standing in front of a box full of cakes, carrying a bag, intending to pour something into the box. When I saw this, I was afraid that something would happen, so I walked up quickly, trying to stop it. But at the moment when I stretched out my hand, I suddenly touched the bag in his hand, and when I pulled it, I found that the bag was full of poisonous scorpions. At that time, I realized that this man was not a thief, he was planning to pour the poisonous scorpion into the box containing the cake, so that the cake delivery activity could not be carried out, so that the people of the city could not eat the cake. ”

"Later, I shouted to come and arrest him, and when this man was about to be arrested, he still clung to the bag of poisonous scorpions in his hand. Because I was afraid that he would release the poisonous scorpion while everyone was not paying attention, I could only stand next to me and hold the mouth of the bag tightly with my hand. ”

"But I didn't expect that when I walked to the door, he suddenly pulled out a dagger, intending to pierce the bag, the situation was urgent, I wanted to stop it, but he stabbed it......"

The more Ye Xiaoyu spoke, the slower she became, and she was once trapped in memories full of pain.

Although the injury healed, the shocking scar on the back remained forever.

"Victim, is the person who stabbed you that day also in the hall today?"

Zou Yu asked.

"My lord, that man is in this court today. That's the manβ€”"

Ye Xiaoyu pointed to Liang Fei, who was kneeling on the ground, and said loudly.

"You...... How can you talk nonsense in front of adults? We haven't even met in person, and we have no grievances, why do you slander me like this? ”

Liang Fei looked up at Ye Xiaoyu, his eyes full of horror.

"That's what I'm asking you, right?"

Knowing that this person was full of nonsense, Ye Xiaoyu couldn't help but reply.

"I have no grievances with you, why did you put poisonous scorpions in my shop, and then stab me with a dagger?"

"My lord, don't listen to his nonsense, I didn't do anything hurtful that day, and I hadn't even seen this person before today, let alone had other contacts."

Liang Fei looked up at Zou Yu.

The day before yesterday, he received a message from above, telling him that as long as he did not admit his guilt, the higher authorities would naturally send someone to rescue him. (To be continued......)
