Just a hasty closure of the case? The family of the deceased naturally refused!

Hikawa Kisaka immediately exclaimed: "Is it biased to only listen to the confession of the prisoner in this matter?" Furthermore, how does he prove that my brother Hikawa Ganghan raped some woman? Is there any evidence? ”

Among the onlookers, some of them looked gloomy.

Zhu Cihong was also speechless, where can I find evidence to prove that Little Japan intends to rape the Li family?

Although Da Ming does not have the level of science and technology in later generations, it is still no problem to find a way to prove whether a woman is defiled.

But now the question is that the rape attempt was attempted, how to prove it?

Professional criminal department officials told them, of course, to take testimony to prove it!

Feng Ying said: "Someone came and passed on the testimony of the Li family to the family of the sufferer and the Japanese envoys. ”

Unexpectedly, Hikawa Kisaka didn't look at it, and said angrily: "Testimony? What's the use of these? Please also give my brother an explanation of the laws of the Ming Dynasty! ”

Feng Ying asked in a deep voice: "The testimony of the parties is also a kind of evidence. ”

Aoki farted and sneered in his heart, he stood up and said: "Excuse me, I think that if your country only relies on this testimony that does not know the truth or falsity of the case, it is true child's play, where is the insulted woman in the mouth of the trafficker now?" She was also invited to testify in court! ”

Aoki had already sent people around to inquire about the news, he knew that the Li family would never come to the hall to testify because of his name, this was their chance, as long as they bit this to death, the immortals would not be able to save this Xia Wanchun when they came!

The counsellors of both sides entered the trial, and the usual stage of arguing during the trial began, and there was a stalemate for a while.

The plaintiff's counsel (the Japanese side) claimed that the defendant's evidence was insufficient to prove his innocence, and requested the client, Lee, who worked at the Japan Shokan, to appear in court.

The defendant's counsel said that the testimony of the parties could be used as evidence, and it was inconvenient to appear in court due to identity reasons.

It means that the person has been found, and he has also recorded a confession in the city patrol division, which is inconvenient to appear in court.

I have to say that the lawyer invited by Aoki Fart is not weak, and he is one of the four major lawsuits in Jiangnan, who is good at ripping off skins, digging loopholes in the law, and often winning lawsuits with incredible ingenuity.

The two sides have been chatting for a long time, and the theme has basically not changed, all of them revolve around the Li family.

Zhu Cihong listened to it for a long time, and had to admire, the 17th century lawyer, the eloquence is better than that of later lawyers, and he speaks long and chaotic without panting, which is a bit of the meaning of "Jiupin Sesame Official" in film and television.

Listening to the defenses of both sides in the court, Xia Wanchun's eyes were a little helpless, before being handed over to Nanjing, his father also told him this, and without Li's testimony, I was afraid that this matter would not be good.

But Xia Wanchun didn't want Li to appear in his heart, in front of the public, if Li came to testify, would she still have a way to live in the future?

Although he and Li had never known each other before, a good family education told him that those heroes who did not hesitate to shed their blood for the country and the nation were guarding the people of their country!

If he selfishly let the Li family be humiliated in order to survive, or hanged himself because of this, then what face does he have to claim to be a scholar and a soldier who defends his family and the country?

This is unacceptable to Xia Wanchun!

"The people's daughter Li is willing to testify for Xia Gongzi!"

Outside the public hall, in the crowd, a weak but firm voice came from the crowd.

Xia Wanchun's body shook, it was the familiar voice, she was here!

Everyone present was in an uproar, all of them were surprised, could it be that this is the heroine of the two lawyers in the court who have been arguing for a long time?

Zhu Cihong looked at the woman from a distance, did not speak, and did not have any expression on his face, he was thinking about a question.

Walking into the court, Li said again: "The people's daughter Li is a servant of the Japanese Merchant House, and she wishes to prove the innocence of Xia Gongzi!" ”

Xia Wanchun's face also returned to normal, but Hikawa Kisaka and a group of Japanese gritted their teeth on the side, secretly saying that this girl is shameless?

Feng Ying patted the hall in surprise and said, "Li, you will carefully explain what happened that day to the official, and you can't lie half-deceively, understand?" ”

"The folk girl understands."

Looking at the crowd of onlookers, Li was obviously a little flustered, tightened the scarf on his head, and was reluctant to speak.

Feng Ying didn't rush her, as an old judge, his understanding of human nature is extremely good, and the more he urges her at this time, the more pressure he puts on her.

Slowly, Li made up his mind, and began to tell what happened in the Japanese Merchant House that day, and also poked out the fact that someone was holding a gun.

As for the secret discussion, in fact, Li didn't hear much, and he heard it vaguely.

The events at the scene described by Li are almost the same as the content of Xia Wanchun's confession, so the case is a certainty.

Feng Ying officially announced that Xia Wanchun was acquitted.

"We are against! This woman is your perjury! ”

Hikawa Kisaka's emotions were very excited, and he shouted: "This is slander! This is an insult to my country of Japan, and I, Amaterasu, will be angry! ”

"Silence!"

Feng Ying snapped the startled wood.

At this time, Zhu Cihong spoke.

He stood up, slowly walked to the front of the public case, glanced at Xia Yunyi not far away, stared at the Li family again, and asked, "Li family, you came here to testify, is there any persecution?" ”

Li Shi was stunned, she hid in the crowd, and already knew that this was His Majesty the Emperor, but why did the emperor ask herself this question?

Feng Ying and other officials were shocked, and secretly said that the old Zhu family's suspicion had been committed again!

Zhu Cihong's suspicion was indeed committed, Xia Wanchun's father was the prefect of Songjiang Prefecture and was in charge of Shanghai Prefecture, and Xia Wanchun's teacher was Chen Zilong, the governor of Fujian.

The Xia family has a large number of connections in Jiangnan, and the public opinion of this case is so strong that it is inseparable from their operation.

Zhu Cihong was a little worried, would they also follow the old path of Xungui corruption? Overpowering people?

Li Shi was very flustered, and before she could answer, she only heard the eunuch wearing a python robe beside the emperor ask with a gloomy face: "Li Shi, Your Majesty asks you something, you have to answer truthfully, if it is deception, it is the crime of deceiving the king, and you will be beheaded all over the house!" ”

Hearing this, Li was even more panicked, like sitting on pins and needles, thrilling.

With a hint of tremor in her voice, she replied, "The people came to testify, and no one persecuted her. ”

Xia Wanchun on the side breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, he was afraid that his father would do such an unrighteous thing in order to save himself.

Zhu Cihong continued to stare at her and asked, "Why did you come to testify for so long?" ”

Li knelt down all of a sudden, crying and crying: "Engong saved me from fire and water...... If he is condemned to death, the conscience of the people's daughter will be disturbed for the rest of their lives. ”

Zhu Cihong nodded slightly, turned to Feng Ying and said, "The case can be closed." ”

"Yes!"

Feng Ying announced: "Untie Xia Wanchun's handcuffs, acquit him, and close the case!" ”

"I protest!" Hikawa Kisaka shouted again.

Feng Ying replied coldly: "The protest is invalid!" ”
