If there are witnesses, it will be completely different, Yu County Ling now only asks Chen Rui to confess his guilt as soon as possible if he can't prove his innocence, so as not to give these people an excuse to torture, and he will find an opportunity to release him afterwards.

In fact, no matter whether Chen Rui beat Luo Wen's person or blackmailed him with eight hundred taels of silver, he was biased towards Chen Rui.

Because this person is Rowan, eight hundred taels is just a small amount of money for him.

But if it weren't for a gentleman like Rowan, then he would have severely punished the murderer, no matter who it was.

Is Chen Rui afraid? Of course he is not afraid, even if there is no big tree of Qin Wangfu behind him, he is not afraid, in the final analysis, they are taking the initiative to find trouble, he is just a passive defense, and the state of Chu also has a law, "Those who break into private houses at night, and those who want to commit murder, can be punished without accountability." ”

That is to say, if someone breaks into your house at night and encounters someone who wants to commit murder, even if he kills him, he will not be held responsible.

Of course, they can't be regarded as the perpetrators, but they are the ones who made the first move, and the state of Chu also has a legitimate defense, and in the face of the abuser, of course, they can also defend themselves, as long as they don't hurt people's lives, they don't need to be held accountable.

So Chen Rui was not in a hurry at all, he was not a person who had not read Chu Lu, and gave Yu Xian Ling a reassuring look, and then looked at Tian Beijia casually, and said: "This old man surnamed Tian, you said that your son can prove that I am a dangerous person on the street, right?" ”

Tian Mo is angry, who is he? Don't drive from Xiangzhou of the four grades, except for the meritorious magnates such as King Qin and Guogong on the bright side, he is the second most prominent figure in Xiangzhou, who has ever been so rude to him? Even characters like King Qin, and Zhou Tingshi, who didn't deal with him, only called him by his name at most.

And this stinky boy actually called him an old man, he wondered if he had heard it wrong, but seeing his expression, he gave up this unrealistic idea and shouted angrily: "Be bold, dare to be disrespectful to the officials of the imperial court, and drag me down to beat the twenty boards." ”

"Which court official am I disrespectful? You? Aren't you an old man? Can't others say you're old when you're old? Which law of the state of Chu states that states that an old man cannot be called an old man? Chen Rui smiled disdainfully and said.

"You ......" Tian Mo's fingers trembled and pointed at Chen Rui, and said sharply: "Drag him down for me." ”

It's really at him, is he that old?

"Tian Beijia, there is really no law in the Chu State that stipulates that the old man cannot be called an old man," Yu County Decree said on the side, but there is a etiquette law, and Yu County Decree added in his heart.

This is tantamount to stabbing Tian Mo's salt-sprinkled wound, and with his decades of cultivation, he can't help but beat people violently.

It took a while to control this impulse, with a ruthless look in his eyes, he looked at Chen Rui like a poisonous snake, and said: "This official will not let go of everyone who is ruthless and evil, in the face of ironclad evidence, what else do you have to say?" ”

There is no point in arguing with him with words, as long as his guilt is confirmed, he is free to torture him in a hundred ways.

When the people heard this, they were worried for a while, and they just saw Tian Beijia's angry and depraved appearance, but how can you get out of it if you completely offend Tian Beijia? What should I do in the face of Tian Beijia's revenge?

The people are also quite dislike Tian Mo in their hearts, as long as he can raise a son like Tian Guangliang, he is not a good person.

Yu Xian Ling couldn't help but shake his head, he felt that Chen Rui was too young and vigorous, and he didn't understand the truth that it was too rigid and easy to break.

If you offend Tian Beijia to death, what good will it do you?

Chen Rui smiled, looked at Tian Guangliang and said, "Did you say that you saw me commit murder on the street with your own eyes and robbed Luo Wen of his money?" ”

Facing his gaze, Tian Guangliang was still a little afraid, although he was very resistant to beating, but it was also very painful! He couldn't help but shrink his neck and said, "Yes, I saw it with my own eyes." ”

Seeing Chen Rui's calm appearance, when everyone thought he would have some sophistry, they saw him nod and said, "It was indeed you who saw it with your own eyes, and even you and I fought together." ”

Now it's okay, whether there are witnesses or not, the evidence doesn't matter, you admit it yourself.

"So what are you waiting for? Quickly arrest this murderer and put him in prison. Rowan jumped up excitedly and shouted.

The more you are afraid of a person, the more you hate that person, because the fear of him is actually a different kind of hatred.

Rowan's grievances and fears have all been swept away, and as long as he reaches prison, he can take revenge as much as he wants, and he is all happy.

This time, Cheng Guogong did not stop it, because he had already admitted it, and the matter was a foregone conclusion.

Tian Guangliang's eyes were also shiny, and he glanced at Luo Wen, and laughed tacitly.

Yu Xian Ling felt that this was the best, so that he would avoid the pain of flesh and skin, and wait for him to find an opportunity to let it go.

He is not afraid of the pressure of Chengguo Gong and Tian Beijia, and the people of his old Yu family only talk about right and wrong, and they have not been afraid of anyone.

Tian Mo stroked the goat, a smug sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, and said: "Even my son was beaten, and the crime is increased by one degree, and Yu County Order must severely punish this murderer." ”

He has never been a generous person, and he doesn't want to let go of anyone who offends him.

Cheng Guogong also said: "If such a madman is not severely punished, he will definitely be a disaster in the township." ”

Yu Xian Ling ignored what they said and was about to pronounce the verdict, but saw Chen Rui and said, "What are you happy about? I'm not done yet, am I? ”

Yu Xian Ling frowned and said, "The evidence is conclusive, what else do you have to say?" ”

"Yu County Order, are you so hasty in deciding the case? I beat them, but you didn't ask why, don't you remember that there is a rule in Chu Law that a beater is innocent as long as he is not beaten to death by the beaten? Chen Rui said: "I don't know how many unjust, false and wrongful cases will be caused by such a hasty judgment like you!" ”

Although this county order is very good, Chen Rui still reminded him that if the case is not judged carefully, even if this person is a fair and honest good official, it may cause unjust, false and wrongful cases.

Yu Xianling was a little annoyed, but he just thought that he had beaten someone, and it was Luo Wen and others who had beaten him, so he thought about how to exonerate him, but he forgot about it.

Such as Luo Wen and Tian Guangliang's temperament, if they don't provoke others, how can others beat them for no reason?

O sin! As he said, if the verdict is so hasty, it will definitely lead to many unjust, false and wrongly decided cases.

Yu County Ling said sincerely: "Remind Chen Gongzi more, it's the official's fault, I don't know why you want to beat them?" ”

Even if you know it in your heart, you have to ask clearly, because this is a verdict.

"Yu County Order, since he has admitted to the blatant murder, no matter what the reason, the blatant murder must be severely punished." Tian Mo looked at Yu County's order and said lightly.

It's a pity that although he is a different driver, he is an assassin and cannot interfere in the governance of the county, otherwise how can he say more? Went straight to jail.

"Don't drive Tian, this official is free and impartial, don't worry about you." Yu Xian Ling looked back at him without fear.

Although Tian Mo's grade is higher than him, he can't control him, his direct official is Zhou Tingshi, and Zhou Tingshi and Tian Bei are not in agreement, it is not a secret in Xiangzhou.

"Yu County Commander has been in Xiangcheng County Commander for ten years, right? has been a parent official for the people of Xiangcheng for ten years, which can be described as a high level of hard work! However, Yu County Commander never thought about taking advantage of his youth to benefit the court and more people? Tian Beijia said unhurriedly.

"Tian Beijia is old, so he should think more about himself, don't worry about other people's affairs, otherwise he will get old faster." Yu County Commander said, how could he be tempted by the functions of a district official?

This county order is really interesting, Chen Rui looked at Yu County's eyes with a look of surprise.

"You ......" Tian Mo's chest began to rise and fall violently again, and he angrily pointed at Yu County's order.

However, before he could say anything, he was interrupted by Yu County's order: "This is above the public court, if Tian Beijia wants to talk about private affairs, he should go somewhere else." ”

"Humph!" Tian Beijia finally snorted coldly and stood aside.

Yu Xian Ling looked at Chen Rui, Chen Rui said: "Naturally, they are going to beat me, and I am just passively fighting back, because they are too weak and not my opponent, they are naturally injured by me." ”

"Is there any evidence?"

"Absolutely." Chen Rui smiled, looked at the people outside, and arched his hand and said: "If there are people who witnessed what happened yesterday, please come out to testify, Chen is grateful." ”

People, you look at me, I look at you, a little hesitant, after all, it is the people of the Chengguo Mansion and the Tian Mansion who came out to testify, and they are afraid of retaliation.

"I testify."

Chen Rui was about to say something to ensure that they would not be harmed, when Zhou Quan shouted loudly outside.

After saying that, he walked forward, and the people watched as the comers spontaneously gave way to a way.

Passing through the crowd, he strode in and winked at Chen Rui.

Then he bowed his hand to the Tang Shangyu County Commander and said: "Yesterday, I witnessed with my own eyes that it was Luo Wen and Tian Guangliang who led people to make things difficult with Chen Gongzi, and Chen Gongzi resisted and injured people. ”

Tian Guangliang pointed at Zhou Quan and said angrily: "Zhou Quan, what qualifications do you have to testify?" You also beat me on the street yesterday, and you also meant to be a murderer, how can you be a witness? ”

After speaking, he immediately said to Yu County: "I want to sue Zhou Quan for blatant murder on the street." ”

At this moment, the witness becomes a victim, and the witness becomes a perpetrator again, which is too fast for people to accept.

Yu County Ling was also a little speechless, and had to ask helplessly: "Is there any evidence?" ”

Tian Guangliang thought for a while and said, "Luo Shizi can testify. ”

Luo Wen also nodded and said, "This son of the world has seen it with his own eyes and can testify." ”

"The victim cannot testify." Yu Xian Ling frowned and emphasized.

"This Shizi is not a victim, Zhou Quan only beat him, not me." Rowan said.

"Yes," Tian Guangliang said: "What I want to sue is Zhou Quan who beat me, and Chen Rui, who Luo Shizi sued, we can testify against each other." ”

"We can also testify to each other, they were the first to strike, and we had to beat them as a last resort." Zhou Quan said.

Generally things come here, that is, each of them plays fifty boards, and it just passes, because Zhou Quan is the son of the assassin and a powerful person, and the best way to deal with both parties is to be a powerful person, because even if you divide who is right and who is wrong, you can't do anything to them for such a small matter.

But if one party is not a powerful person, and the powerful person does not hold him accountable, then it is natural to talk about the evidence, according to the law. If you should be punished, you should be sentenced.

This is the privilege of being a powerful person, they are rich and powerful, and the law is not merciful, but people are tolerant of them, as long as they do not do too much, do not do evil things such as murder and arson, they will generally not be held responsible.

There's no way around it, who told you to be born bad? If you don't have power or power, you have to hold on.

Therefore, Yu Xian Ling naturally wanted to make peace with the mud in the face of this situation, and this was exactly what he wanted, so that Chen Rui didn't even have to enter the cell.

He coughed lightly and said, "Since that's the case......"

"Wait."

A voice from outside the county office interrupted his words, and when he saw the pupils of the person who came suddenly shrank, he hurriedly got up from his seat, greeted him, and said politely: "Miss Zhao, why are you here?" ”

The person who came was Murong Yan's personal maid Zhao Ran, who looked handsome and beautiful.

Although she is a maid, no one in Xiangcheng dares not to treat it seriously.

Zhao Ran nodded, and then greeted Chen Rui: "Chen Gongzi." ”

The people outside may not know what this means, but the people inside the hall are taken aback.

There are only a handful of people in the entire Xiangcheng who can make Zhao Ran treat him like this, and even Yu County Ling just nodded to her, but she was so polite to Chen Rui.

Luo Jingkun's eyes narrowed slightly, it seems that the princess is not an ordinary fancy for him!

And Tian Beijia swallowed a mouthful of saliva, what is his identity? What does it have to do with the Qin Palace?

Yu Xianling looked at Chen Rui in surprise, who is he?

Even Luo Wen and Tian Guangliang's eyes widened when they saw this scene,

Luo Wen had long known that Chen Rui was the princess's honored guest, but he never took it too seriously, but when he saw Zhao Ran treating him like this, he knew that this distinguished guest was not so simple, his back was a little cold, and the fear that had just dissipated came to his heart again.

Chen Rui nodded, also a little surprised, he didn't expect that Aunt Murong would also send someone here, and it was Zhao Ran, Zhao Ran he naturally knew.

Zhao Ran looked at Yu County Decree and said, "The princess asked me to tell Yu County Decree that if this matter is not handled fairly, the position of the county magistrate may be confiscated." ”

If Cheng Guogong said this to him, he would scoff at it, but the person who said it was the princess, and he would not question the princess's words, although Xiangcheng was the most famous King Qin, but the most effective person was not necessarily the King of Qin, which was not a secret to them.

And the princess's 'fair handling' Yu County Order naturally understands what it means, that is, Chen Rui is right no matter what, and it is the opposite party to deal with him.

His understanding can't be said to be wrong, but it is indeed incomplete, because in Murong Yan's heart, Chen Rui is kind-hearted, how could he provoke others for no reason and do wrong things?

So the one who is at fault is naturally the opposite party.

Yu County's order can understand, and characters like Chengguo Gong and Tian Beijia can naturally understand.

So Cheng Guogong got up and said: "Since it's a child's trouble, it's not a big deal, so let's not care about it and say goodbye." ”

Tian Beijia also stood up and said, "We also say goodbye." ”
