Chapter 38: Chen Qian's Method
In the court, Lu Yuan said: "Pass on the three old gentlemen." ”
Mr. Zhou and the three of them had already learned of Zhuang Mozhi's confession, and their faces were relieved, and Mr. Zhou said: "My lord, since the case has been cleared and the old man's family still has something to do, I will retire first." ”
"Wait, the three old men are very impressed by their ability to distinguish words, and ask the three of them to show it one last time, so that the official will no longer have any doubts." Lu Yuan smiled.
Mr. Zhou frowned and said, "It's okay, but let's say it first, this is the last time." ”
Lu Yuan nodded: "Please ask Mr. He and Mr. Wu to go to the side hall and wait." ”
After the two retreated, Lu Yuan walked over with three new fake gambling deeds, flattened the three pieces of paper, and said, "Please Mr. Zhou decide." ”
Mr. Zhou first pretended to look at it, and then said slowly: "The first one is ten, the second one is ten, and the third one is a word." ”
Lu Yuan wrote a mark on the back of the paper in front of him, and asked, "You can recognize it clearly, you won't make mistakes, right?" ”
Mr. Zhou snorted, "You can't be wrong.
These three pieces of paper are exactly the same as the first time they recognized, the first two tens, and the third one.
Lu Yuan smiled: "Hou Bantou, please go to the back hall." ”
Hou Kaishan ordered the people to be taken away, and Lu Yuan quietly changed the position of the third paper and the second paper, and then he said loudly: "Someone, Mr. Chuanhe." ”
Mr. He looked at the three sheets of paper that were laid out and said with a smile: "The first one is ten, the second one is ten, and the third one is one." ”
Lu Yuan opened the back of the paper and looked at it, and it was "ten", "one", and "ten".
He squinted his eyes and said, "I don't know why Mr. He is different from Mr. Zhou!" ”
Mr. He's face turned pale, and he said, "I, I-."
finally let them show their flaws, and Lu Yuan's heart was greatly happy.
In fact, if they still don't make a mistake in the end, Lu Yuan also has another trick, that is, to ask Su Liuying to help and ask her to change her words, saying that it was because of Xu Yun's poems, he believes that with Su Liuying's temperament, after understanding the whole thing, he will definitely help.
But this is a home remedy after all, which will damage Su Liuying's reputation, and it may also leave a pimple in her heart, because Su Liuying came because of Chen Qian after all.
In contrast, he prefers this kind of upright method to expose the other party's lies to his face!
As early as when Zhuang Mozhi asked about the crime, the onlookers suspected that the three of them were cheating, and now they exposed it in public, and immediately scolded, and all kinds of voices were:
"Dead liar, it turns out that he really received the Chen family's money!"
"Damn, I almost got tricked by you."
"These three people are wrong, then Mr. Zhuang must be right, let Mr. Zhuang go!"
It can be regarded as the anger of the crowd, but fortunately they still have one thing to fear, and that is the roar of the head of the year.
"Silence!" Under the scolding of the head of the annual class, the crowd finally quieted down.
"Come on, bring Mr. Zhou, Mr. Wu, Chen Qian and the Xu family's father and son!" Lu Yuan said loudly.
When everyone brought it, Lu Yuan slapped the startled Mutang hard, and said solemnly: "Bold Zhou Jing, He Fang, Wu Xie, actually recognized a word as a cross in the hall, what else do you have to say!" ”
"My lord, it's the three of us who are shallow in learning, and I've made a mistake, please punish you!" Zhou Jing said in a low voice.
He Fang and Wu Xie said in unison: "Please punish your lord!" ”
The three of them thought very clearly, and if they made a mistake, their reputation would be ruined at most, but if they recruited the Chen family, not only would their reputation be ruined, but they would also be convicted of receiving money to give false testimony, and the Chen family would retaliate in the future, so they didn't have to think much about which path to choose.
Although these three people are hateful, Lu Yuan can't cure them for their big crimes, they are invited by Li Xiancheng to do the appraisal, it is not a false testimony, and the main fault lies with Li Xiancheng, but he can only reprimand Li Xiancheng a few words, and he can't handle him with this kind of small case alone.
Lu Yuan said: "Chen Qian, what do you say?" ”
Chen Qian arched his hand and said: "My lord, I made a mistake in the next reading, please punish him!" ”
Lu Yuan sneered: "You misrecognized a word, but you almost ruined other people's families." ”
Chen Qian was silent.
Lu Yuan pondered for a moment, patted the shocked wood, and said loudly:
"The court listened to the verdict, Chen Qian's complaint against Xu Yun for not admitting his debts is a pure false accusation, and Chen Qian was punished for fifteen days in prison for reflection, and at the same time, Xu Yun's gambling loss to Chen Qian does not have to be returned, and Chen Qian also needs to compensate Xu Yun with 1,000 taels of gold as compensation!"
The father and son of the Chen family knelt down and kowtowed together: "Thank you, sir!" ”
Lu Yuan asked, "Chen Qian, can you be convinced by this official's judgment?" ”
"I am convinced, and I am willing to follow the judgment of adults." Chen Qian said in a low voice.
At this time, a person ran out of the side hall and was immediately stopped by the officials, who shouted from afar: "Lord Lu, the grass people Chen Guang asks to see." ”
After hearing about the situation of the yamen, how could he still sit at home, and rushed to the yamen without stopping, and many of the officials knew him, so he was able to enter the side hall.
Lu Yuan waved his hand and said, "Let him in." ”
Chen Guang knelt down and kowtowed, "Grass people Chen Guang pays a visit to Lord County!" ”
"Chen Yuanwai, please get up."
Chen Guang stood up and said, "My lord, my family is willing to compensate the Xu family for 2,000 taels of gold, and I just ask my lord not to let my son go to prison!" ”
Sure enough, it was a wealthy family, and a thousand taels of gold were taken out without frowning, and Lu Yuan said in a deep voice: "Outside of Chen Yuan, the law is strict, how can silver money be replaced?" ”
Chen Guang wanted to say more, Chen Qian said: "Dad, there is no need to say it again, the child is willing to stay in the prison for fifteen days." ”
Chen Guang sighed and finally didn't speak again.
"Quit!" Lu Yuan said loudly.
With the shouts of "might" and "martial arts" of the officials, Lu Yuan's first ascension finally ended.
In this case, he not only saved the Xu family, but also neutralized all the officials in the county government.
Before, he relied on his mouth to establish his authority, and he couldn't last long, but now he has established his authority with his actions, and all the officials have a deep awe of this county lord in their hearts.
In the back hall, Miss Sun came over and bowed to Yingying and said, "Master Lu, on behalf of Uncle Xu's family, I would like to thank you!" She didn't want to call Lu Yuan, and seeing that Lu Yuan didn't care, she kept calling him Lu Gongzi.
Lu Yuan smiled: "I said it, this is my duty, you don't have to thank you." ”
Miss Sun smiled and said, "It's getting late, so Shaoqing will leave." ”
"Be careful on the road."
Looking at the back of Sun Shaoqing's departure, Lu Yuan was slightly distracted, thinking back to the time when she went to Sun's house to be a housekeeper, she was so proud, and she felt emotion in her heart.
Suddenly, a voice came from beside him: "You are not allowed to harm the sister of the Sun family!" ”
You don't need to look to know that it is Su Liuying who speaks, and in her eyes, she is a beast in human skin.
Lu Yuan said helplessly: "Miss Su, after watching my trial today, can't you still see my changes?" Didn't it change me in the slightest? ”
Su Liuying said softly: "If you are like today in the future, I will naturally not say anything about you, if you do bad things like before, I will ignore you!" ”
Saying that, he left, Hou Kaishan said something to Hou Yue, Hou Yue arched his hand to Lu Yuan, and also left.
Lu Yuan sighed secretly, the original owner had indeed done many bad things to her before, and it was no wonder that she was guarded against herself everywhere.
coldly, another voice came from beside him: "Lu Yuan, do you like her?" ”
turned around and saw that it was Miss Li, a woman in white, and he Lu Yuan hurriedly said, "Of course not." ”
"I'm here to say goodbye to you." The woman in white just asked casually, and she didn't care who Lu Yuan liked.
Lu Yuan was surprised: "Why are you leaving, aren't you going to accompany Fu Lei for treatment?" ”
"I handed over Fu Lei to you, Shan Long and Shan Hu will stay, they will listen to your orders in the next few days, and I will pick up Fu Lei in seven days."
As soon as she finished speaking, she left by herself, regardless of whether Lu Yuantong disagreed.
Lu Yuan looked at her back and thought, "What a woman who is the only one who respects me." ”
Out of the back hall, the woman in white suddenly jumped on the roof, only to see a black figure squatting on the roof under the moonlight, wearing a night suit, with a graceful posture, it was a woman.
After seeing the woman in white, the black shadow was taken aback, and without hesitation, he went to the outside of the county office. She didn't touch the ground, flew sideways for more than a mile, and landed directly on the willow tree outside the county office.
She had recognized the identity of the woman in white, so she did not stop on the willow tree, and continued to fly into the distance, hoping to use the night to get rid of her.
In the entire Shezhou, the only thing she was afraid of was this person, but she didn't expect to meet her when she first came to the county office.
