Chapter 103: The Theory of Public Court
Talking one after another, he said: "Look, isn't that Lord Tian in the yamen, he actually held the commander of the general, I heard that this general is a good person, and often helps the poor people in our Fenglin City, and I don't know what happened." ”
Another person said: "I just saw that it was Prime Minister Yu who went to beat the drum to redress his grievances, I was really surprised, could it be related to the tragic death of Prime Minister Yu's daughter a few days ago." ”
The third person patted his head and said: "I remember, the murderer who killed Prime Minister Yu's daughter that day seems to have been taken away by General Qiu, that person can't be General Qiu's person, he actually hid a murderer, it seems that General Qiu is in trouble this time, Prime Minister Yu will definitely not let him go." ”
Standing on the sidelines and listening to the complexities of the ordinary people's discussions, it was like an inconspicuous common man, listening to what they were talking about. Fan Jian couldn't help but hook the corners of his mouth, and said with a smile: "Qiu Yi, I see that you still have the ability to keep the blood slave by your side this time, as long as it is a person who is favored by my gate of hell, none of them can escape." ”
Su Xiaran, who was really taken to the public court, saw Prime Minister Yu who was already waiting there before he went in. When passing by him, Su Xiaran said sarcastically: "It seems that Prime Minister Yu still doesn't give up, is it possible that he wants to make trouble to the emperor at this time before he stops?" ”
Prime Minister Yu saw that Su Xiaran used the emperor to pressure him, and pretended to be calm and said: "You harbor murderers, even if the emperor knows, he will no longer shield you, you just wait to be demoted." ”
Su Xiaran didn't bother to talk nonsense with him anymore, but what he didn't understand was. Although Prime Minister Yu is not a stupid person, he is not a smart person. Who gave him the idea to go to court and denounce himself.
This incident made Su Xiaran puzzled and incomprehensible. Su Xiaran had already thought about it before. The possibility that the prime minister may use against himself. With his character, he may find the emperor directly.
But what Su Xiaran didn't expect was that he would beat the drum in front of the yamen like a civilian. What the prime minister cares about most is his status.
And how can they follow the example of civilians.
However, the matter has come to this point, and Su Xiaran can only wait and see what happens. After sitting in the public court, Lord Tian spoke: "Prime Minister Yu, now that the defendant has come, if you have any grievances, just say it." ”
Prime Minister Yu immediately pretended to be in pain and said: "Lord Tian, my little girl took two maidservants to play in the market a few days ago, but she was brutally killed by a masked person suspected of being from the General's Mansion. ”
Lord Tian asked: "Since you said that you are suspected of being a person from the General's Mansion, what evidence can you find to prove that this matter is related to the General's Mansion?" ”
Prime Minister Yu expected him to ask such a question, and replied: "I have already gone to the General's Mansion to investigate, but General Qiu has already transferred this person, and I can't find the person wearing the mask at all, please Lord Tian make the decision for me." ”
Seeing that the prime minister couldn't say any favorable evidence, Lord Tian said in embarrassment: "Since you have said it and can't show the evidence, how do you think I can call the shots for you." ”
Just when the court fell silent, among the people who had been watching the situation inside from the outside, a person suddenly stood up and said: "My lord, Xiaomin can testify that the masked person who killed the prime minister's daughter that day was indeed from the General's Mansion. ”
When Tian saw that a witness appeared, he said, "Who is speaking, please go into the court and explain in detail." ”
The sudden appearance of evidence did not catch Su Xiaran off guard, but was expected by her. He appeared without any embellishments that day, and naturally someone with a heart would recognize her, which was expected.
A middle-aged man dressed in ordinary clothes appeared in the courtroom. Lord Tian asked the man one by one: "You said that it was General Qiu who took away the murderer that day, but what evidence is there?" ”
The man calmly stepped forward and said: "Lord Tian, I am just an ordinary person, this kind of thing will naturally not be believed, killing people to pay for their lives is a matter of course, even if the Son of Heaven commits a crime, he should be guilty of the same crime as the common people, right?" ”
Seeing that Lord Tian didn't speak, the man continued: "It wasn't just me that day, many people saw with their own eyes that General Qiu took the masked boy away, Prime Minister Yu had lost a son before, and now he lost his daughter, we really couldn't stand it, so we thought about standing up and telling the truth." ”
After that, he brought all the other insiders to the court to identify Su Xiaran. This made Su Xiaran very surprised, but felt that the appearance of these people was not accidental.
Instead, she was arranged by someone else, and it didn't surprise her that someone could recognize her. But in such a crowd, where would ordinary people have such a big battle.
Prime Minister Yu saw that there were so many people supporting him, and he didn't have to think about it to know that it was a good thing that was done by Fu Jian. opened his mouth and said: "General Qiu, everyone's eyes are bright, what else do you have to say now, I lost my daughter, is your heart so hard, do you sit idly by and ignore a single life?" ”
Prime Minister Yu put on a very aggrieved look in the public court, and Su Xiaran knew at a glance that he was pretending. But it has caused a good effect among the masses. The crowd watching from the outside all started talking, and most of them were biased towards the prime minister and sympathized with him.
Although the current situation is a bit one-sided, Su Xiaran still did not lose his usual calm appearance, and said: "Of course I feel sorry for you to lose your daughter, but what do you mean by keeping on my body in this matter, is it possible that you want your daughter's death to deal with us, can I be condemned just by these few people who came out of thin air and said that they had seen me?" ”
Su Xiaran thought that as long as she refused to admit it, she didn't believe that they could do anything to her, and no matter how bad it was, she would make trouble in front of the emperor. I believe that it is absolutely impossible for the emperor to treat Su Xiaran's sin for the sake of one of Prime Minister Yu's daughters.
After all, in the eyes of the emperor, Su Xiaran's value is far greater than that of a daughter of the prime minister.
Seeing that Su Xiaran could still be so calm in this state of affairs, those people continued to be aggressive: "Why does General Qiu want to involve himself in order to shield a person, as long as you hand over this masked boy, I believe everyone will not blame you." ”
Su Xiaran sneered in her heart, "It turns out that their purpose is Xiaolan, and coming to this court today is just a pretense, but she will not hand over Xiaolan no matter what." ”
Su Xiaran directly pretended to be ignorant and said: "I don't know what a few people are talking about, I don't know any boy wearing a mask, and I have never had a boy wearing a mask in my general's mansion, this has been confirmed by Prime Minister Yu before, isn't it, who are you loyal to, and you framed me like this?" ”
After saying that, he looked at Prime Minister Yu intentionally or unintentionally. Su Xiaran's subconscious action immediately led the spearhead to Prime Minister Yu. The subconscious is saying that Prime Minister Yu used money to bribe a few people and let them appear in the court to testify for him.
Lord Tian doesn't know how to deal with this matter now, both sides are officials with much higher levels than him, and now there is no direct evidence, so he can't be easily offended.
I had no choice but to speak: "Both, I think this matter is also very complicated, otherwise you can solve it privately, see what?" ”
Prime Minister Yu said dissatisfiedly: "Lord Tian, what do you mean by this, I think you are usually very fair and honest, why did you become a timid person at this time." Could it be that he is afraid of his identity as the commander, don't forget that if this matter is not handled well, I can also make you unable to eat and walk around. ”
Seeing the prime minister's threat, Lord Tian said in embarrassment: "This... This...."
Just when the three of them were at a stalemate. Jian Fan walked in from the outside at the right time. Politely walked in with a little charm. It immediately attracted the attention of many people.
Su Xiaran looked at him, knowing that something would definitely happen as soon as he appeared. As soon as Fan Jian came in, he said: "It's really difficult to see Lord Tian outside, so I came up with an excellent way to solve problems for Lord Tian, I don't know if I can listen to what I said next?" “
Seeing that someone was willing to share the burden for himself, Lord Tian hurriedly said: "Okay, well, quickly say your thoughts, if it is reasonable, this official will adopt it." ”
Su Xiaran looked at this person with a vigilant look and said, "Lord Tian, you can't believe what this person of unknown origin said. ”
Seeing Su Xiaran say this, Fan Jian smiled evilly, and replied: "I forgot to report my family, I am the scholar of the head of the Xuanyun Sect, and this time I deliberately went down to solve the death of the prime minister's daughter, this is the handprint of the head of the family, I don't know if the little junior brother still has any doubts?" ”
After saying that, he put his face in front of Su Xiaran. Su Xiaran directly ignored him and looked at the handprint in his hand. It is indeed the handprint of the head of the house.
But how could Xuanyun Sect get involved in this matter, Su Xiaran looked at Prime Minister Yu with a smug face in confusion. Could it be that Prime Minister Yu colluded with Xuanyun Sect to deal with him together.
What was the purpose of the head of the Xuanyun Sect, he didn't come forward and sent a scholar to deal with him.
Su Xiaran quickly thought of the purpose of the Xuanyun Sect's intervention in this matter. The head of the family knew that the blood slave was by his side, and it must be Prime Minister Yu who reported to Xuanyun Sect. revealed Xiaolan's murder methods.
Let him know about Xiaolan's appearance. However, what Su Xiaran couldn't figure out was that the head of the sect could directly send the elders to encircle and suppress Xiaolan. Why did he only send someone whom Su Xiaran had never seen in Xuanyun Sect at all.
However, Su Xiaran did not show his doubts. said: "Since I am the senior brother of the Xuanyun Sect, I have no doubts. ”
Fan Jian smiled and said, "That's good." The simple smile made Su Xiaran feel creepy. I always feel that many of my secrets have been known by this person.
And she, Su Xiaran, was toyed with by him in applause. As soon as he suddenly approached Su Xiaran, he had clearly smelled the faint body fragrance on Su Xiaran's body, and that smile just now hinted to Su Xiaran that he had already known the identity of her daughter.
However, it was not revealed in front of everyone, and Su Xiaran didn't know what he was doing it for. The more unknown it is, the more dangerous it is. Su Xiaran didn't know what he would say next.
Seeing that Fan Jian was sent by the head of the Xuanyun Sect, Lord Tian immediately became respectful and said, "Oh, with the help of Master Fan, God really helps me, if Master Fan has any good suggestions, just say it." ”
Fan Jian couldn't see such a villain who tended to be inflammatory, so he sneered and said: "Then I'll say it directly, Lord Tian has to think about it." ”
Tian Daren kept nodding his head on the side.
Su Xiaran also stood aside and prepared to listen to his plan and see what he wanted to do this time.
