Chapter VII: Justice and Strictness
In the majestic sound, the four splashes knelt in a row with their heads in their hands, and Qin Feng stood on one side, facing the splashes and facing the public court.
The magistrate Wei Dayou, waiting for the official to close his voice. Grab the shocking wood and smack! shouted: "Who is the hall! So what's going on! ”
Qin Feng turned around, clasped his fists and bowed: "The county is on top, the student is a member of the county, Qin Feng." Today, I was bullied by these five splashes, and I asked the adults to make decisions for the students. ”
Wei Dayou looked Qin Feng up and down, and said, "Since you are a member of this county, why are you dressed like this?" Come on, give Xiucai a seat first. Sit down and talk back. ”
A servant brought a chair and placed it beside Qin Feng, Qin Feng sat down and said, "The county is on top, and the student was exercising with the student's student Jia Song at that time. Kick the ball, oh, Keju. The caftan is inconvenient, so this dress is temporary. ”
Wei Dayou was stunned for a moment, and nodded again: "I see, the court students, first dress properly, and then straighten their bodies." You're jujue, but that's another story. ”
The trial has not yet begun, so I will help Xiucai clear his name of indecent etiquette. Qin Feng sincerely stood up and saluted, "Students remember the teachings. ”
Wei Dayou waved his hand: "Since it is a juju, why is blood on your legs?" ”
Qin Feng put on a sad and indignant face: "My lord, the student is bowing, and suddenly I heard the noise of the cloth." Students are persuasive and go to mediation. Before he could speak, this splash ripped off the jade pendant on the student's waist! This jade pendant is a gift from Jia Song to the student, and it is a piece of his heart, and the student naturally wants to take it back. These splashes scuffled with the students together, so the students' legs were beaten by them to a bloody blur! ”
Wei Dayou's cheeks shook: "Five of them, beat you one?" ”
Qin Feng nodded: "Exactly." Just a student, learn Confucius and Mencius, read the books of sages, and be loyal to the court with a red heart. In addition, the students are physically strong and talented, and they have not suffered much. ”
Wei Da nodded a little, it seemed that he had not suffered a loss. However, a red heart is loyal to the court, these words, the ears are very good, where does it come from? I can't think of it, I don't want to.
Syllable! Shocked Tang Mu, the kneeling body was shocked, and Wei Dayou shouted again: "Who is kneeling in the hall, report your name!" ”
"Nanchang County, Huang Liang"
"Nanchang County, Zhang Erma"
"Nanchang County, Zhang Dong"
"Nanchang County, Liu Yong, lying in a coma, is also Nanchang County, Chen Song."
Wei Dayou shouted: "What Xiucai said just now, do you have any objections?" ”
Huang Liang was the first to speak at the counter and the first to be knocked unconscious. At this time, his face and nose were crooked, his mouth was full of blood, and his mouth was still a little leaky. It's just that among these people, he has a mouth. immediately cried and shouted: "My lord, I was wronged, he took the initiative to give me the jade pendant." He was the one who hit the five of us first! ”
Outside the arena, there was a loud noise, and some people booed.
Wei Da was shocked, snap! "Bold! Don't want to talk nonsense, Xiucai gave you jade pendants for no reason? Xiucai beat the five of you alone for no reason? ”
He knows the importance of the matter, and he also knows that the magistrate and the official know what their gang eats.
At the moment, he didn't dare to answer the words of the county, so he honestly explained: "My lord, it is our desire for profit, and we go to the cloth to play scoundrels, and we want to ask for some silver flowers." I didn't know that this show came out, and it was said that it was to give me the jade pendant. As soon as I stretched out my hand and tore it off, he shot at us, we really didn't, snatching the jade pendant, playing Xiucai. ”
Wei Dayou thought slightly, this is probably the truth. This extortion is much lighter than the crime of robbing and beating Xiucai during the day.
Qin Feng said with a smile: "My lord, this cheeky remark may be true in the first half, they are indeed here to extort silver." Later, I went out to persuade him to leave. But this splashed skin, seeing the jade pendant on my waist, said that it was okay to pay tribute to a jade pendant. He started to tear off my jade pendant, and I just thought it was a robbery, so I took it back. Chen Song, who was lying down, actually lifted the wooden chair and smashed my head, my lord, if it wasn't for the student to hide quickly, he would almost be stoned to death. ”
Wei Da nodded slightly: "It's really hateful to be so vicious!" ”
The splashy Huang Liang cried with a sad face: "Master Xiucai, we have no beads to offend you, but we don't know that you are Master Xiucai!" Please spare us. ”
Huang Liang figured it out, only he and Qin Feng understood the matter of the jade pendant, and it was unclear about it. But according to common sense, according to logic, and according to people's psychology, everyone will only believe Qin Feng, not him. Instead of arguing, it is better to beg Qin Feng to let it go.
Qin Feng sneered: "How to punish you, that has to be decided by the county lord." ”
Before the trial is concluded, the case has been decided!
Wei Dayou turned his head sideways and asked, "Qin Xiucai, what about the jade pendant?" ”
"Back to my lord, the jade pendant has been broken, and the student wrapped it in a cloth and brought it, please take a look." Qin Feng took out a ball of cloth and uncovered it in a few clicks, a small pile, broken jade, and some of them were slag.
Wei Dayou asked again: "How valuable is this jade pendant?" In addition to the jade pendant, can there be other losses? ”
Qin Feng replied: "Back to my lord, Jia Song, a student of the students, claims that this jade pendant is worth twenty taels. In addition to the jade pendant, there was also a wooden chair, and a wooden table was broken. ”
Huang Liang wailed again: "Master Xiucai, didn't you say that you bought it for 15 taels?!" ”
Qin Feng turned his head sideways and shouted, "Buy it back for a few years!" Don't add value?! Huang Liang was stunned.
Jia Song, who was outside the yamen, listened to the twitching of his cheeks. Mr. two words, the price of the jade pendant is confirmed! High!
The value of jade is difficult to determine. What's more, it's all broken, how to identify? Give Mr. a jade pendant of 20 taels, it is really ordinary, and the big family is too little, and it is generally impossible to send it.
Wei Dayou grabbed the startled wood and slapped it on the ground! shouted: "The official didn't ask!" Wait for Hugh to speak! Scribe, just the two of them answered, and they didn't record it! ”
After finishing speaking, he glared at Qin Feng fiercely: Just now you said that people will pull jade pendants when they come up, so how can you talk to others about buying 15 taels? Stupid thing!
Qin Feng was stunned for a moment, but immediately understood, and his heart chuckled.
Wei Dayou glanced at the kneeling splasher, and said in a deep voice: "The reason for this matter is that because of the trouble caused by the arrival of the people. Yu Pei was indeed ripped off by Huang Liang, and the two sides had a misunderstanding, so they fought. The county pronounced a verdict, and Qin Feng was not guilty. HUANG Liang, ZHANG Erma...... Wait for five people, come to the door to make trouble, beat Xiucai, and destroy property! Conclusive! Nian Er and the others did not know the identity of Xiucai, and they did not plan to rob it. Therefore, the sentence was light: 20 taels of Qin Xiucai's jade pendant, 5 taels of chair wood, and 5 taels of decoction. Total 30 taels. Pay an additional 5 taels of litigation fees. A hundred rods to each man! Because of the injury, the torture can be carried out after 15 days! If the offender is temporarily imprisoned, the family members can pay the fine and take the person home for treatment. ”
Syllable! Shocked by the wood, Wei Dayou shouted: "Sign and draw!" If you are not satisfied with the verdict, you can file a lawsuit again! ”
The two officials took the confession and judgment from the scribe and sent them to both parties.
Several splashes couldn't stop kowtowing and were not sentenced, and they were secretly happy. He immediately pleaded guilty and accepted the sentence, and several people were taken down to sign and be detained. The one who was unconscious, the official also had another opinion.
This is waiting for the family to raise money to take people, everyone is injured, especially the one who has broken his hand, and he must not be able to spend the night in prison.
A servant in the hall held the verdict with both hands, Qin Feng picked up the pen, and the two signatures were completed. Then he bent down to the hall and said, "The adults are discerning, fair and strict, and the students are deeply admired. ”
Wei Dayou smiled and said, "You are very good!" Go back and hurry up your homework to review your homework, and next year, when you pass the township test, you will also make a name for the county! ”
Qin Feng sighed secretly in his heart, and said in his mouth: "Students do their best, I hope they can live up to the high expectations of adults." ”
Wei Dayou hesitated, stared at Qin Feng and said, "In everything, with your heart and thoughts, there is always a way to succeed!" ”
Qin Feng was stunned for a moment, and thought: Imperial examination! Qualifications are not good, knowledge is not enough, and if you can't take the exam, you can't afford to take the exam. How do you call it, think hard, there is always a way to succeed? Cheat? Bah, I don't want to kill my head! I still think it's reliable to donate.
"Quit!" Wei Dayou left with a negative hand, and Master Liu glanced at Qin Feng meaningfully.
