"It's really unseen and unheard of to try a case like this, doesn't Zhou Tingshi feel hasty?" Cheng Guogong snorted coldly and said.

The third prince also said out loud: "Zhou Tingshi, this seems to be out of order, right?" How can we be directly held accountable without first questioning? There is no witness, physical evidence, how can the punishment be directly used? ”

"The trial is to avenge the victims, to seek justice for the victims, not to continue to harm the victims, and you have seen the situation of the victims, regardless of the victims' bodies? So how am I different from those murderers? Zhou Tingshi said solemnly:

"The rules are dead, people are alive, the original case has long been known to the official, so why bother to toss the victims?"

"And who said there are no witnesses, physical evidence? The physical evidence is visible to everyone, it is Zhang Er's scarred body, human witness! Zhou Jianshi said loudly: "Witnesses." ”

Even if he wants to try the case, how can Zhou Tingshi be unprepared? When Dr. Wang was cleaning up the wound, he didn't just wait, he had already ordered someone to prepare.

A few people walked in and saluted first: "I've seen the history of Zhou Thorn." ”

One of the older elders saw Zhang Er on the ground, cried with joy, and said with some excitement: "Er! Is it really you? How did you do that, how did you get so badly injured? Ay! It's good to come back alive, it's good to be alive...... Where's your mother? ”

Every word is full of concern, which shows that this old man really cares about Zhang Er.

Zhang Er's eyes darkened, and he said, "My mother is gone." ”

The old man also realized that he had said the wrong thing, and said with relief: "Your mother has been suffering from illness for so many years, life is better than death, it's better to go up early to enjoy happiness, don't be too sad." In the future, the third master's home will be your home, and the third master will be your relatives, you don't have to think about anything now, take care of your injuries! ”

Zhou Tingshi explained: "The hall is Zhang Er, who disappeared together with his mother a few days ago, and is the victim of the disappearance case a few days ago. And the old man is the patriarch of Zhangjia Village, and the case was reported by him. ”

As the name suggests, most of the villages named after the surname Zhang are from the surname Zhang.

It turned out that Zhang Er and his mother had disappeared overnight, and the clansmen were anxious and could not find any trace anywhere, so they reported the case.

Zhou Tingshi looked at the other people who came in and said, "Tell me what you have seen." ”

Other witnesses said:

"At five o'clock today, I saw Zhang Er running out of the Chengguo Mansion with bruises, and we were frightened at the time, and then I saw the subordinates of the Guogong Mansion chasing after him, chasing Zhang Er like crazy, as if he was going to eat people."

"Yes! They looked so fierce and terrifying, I thought they were going to kill someone. ”

"He's right, that's pretty much what it was like back then."

"yes, that's it."

Several of them were people who saw this scene with their own eyes outside the Guogong Mansion at that time, and the situation at that time was restored.

Zhou Tingshi didn't care about Chengguo Gong and the third prince, looked directly at Luo Wen, and said sharply: "Why did the missing Zhang Er come out of your mansion scarred, and why did your subordinates chase him closely?" Rowan, don't you want to explain? ”

"I... I," Rowan's head was blank, and he didn't know how to justify.

Or Luo Jingkun said out loud: "Zhang Er's mother is critically ill, and she has no money to hire a doctor for his mother, so she has no choice but to take her mother who is riddled with illness to the street, ask for help, sell herself to save her mother, my son is kind-hearted, and when he saw Zhang Er's pity, he moved his heart of compassion and wanted to help him, so he asked a doctor to see a doctor for his mother, but because it dragged on for too long, his mother was already terminally ill, and the medicine stone was ineffective for her, and his mother finally died." ”

"My son helped him out of kindness, and he didn't mean to ask for anything in return, but Zhang Er was grateful for my son's kindness, and insisted on becoming my son's subordinate, and reciprocated for my son as a cow and a horse.

"But who knew that when Zhang Er came to my house, he fell in love with a maid in my house, and the maid didn't like him, so he used force, and in the end he succeeded. And the maid is a strong person, and she feels that her innocence is not there, so she has the idea of suicide, and it is more difficult to save a person who is determined to die than to save a person who wants to live! The maid is still fragrant and jade. This allows us to see his true face, but the past is gone, and it is too late to regret it. ”

"Zhang Er did such a thing that is inferior to a beast, we should have reported it to the official, but this matter is related to the reputation of our government, so I suppressed it, this is our fault. But Zhang Er couldn't help but punish him severely, and the injuries on his body came from this, but he didn't repent at all, and found an opportunity to escape. In order to prevent him from getting involved in the Guogong Mansion, I naturally want to send someone to chase him back, after all, he is now a member of the Guogong Mansion. ”

"yes, yes, yes, that's the way it is." Luo Wen's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly agreed, secretly praising that he was worthy of his father.

Luo Jingkun said that the black was white, so that they were the victims, Zhang Er was the same as the heinous person, if it weren't for the people present who knew what Luo Wen was, it was really possible to be deceived by him.

This kind of ability has to make a sigh: He really deserves to be a brazen person with a brain! The three princes all blushed a little for him......

But for people of integrity, it's challenging their bottom line and fueling their anger.

Yu Xiuming glared at Luo Jingkun angrily, and wanted to step on his face, but considering that this was a government office, not his county government, he couldn't help it!

Zhou Tingshi's eyes were scanning around, looking for any weapons to take advantage of, but fortunately, there was none! Otherwise, the consequences ......

Zhou Quan's face turned red, and his hands were clenched into fists, then released, and clenched again......

The people watching outside were also furious, and they cursed one after another, "What shameless, shameless people, thick-skinned as a city wall, this kind of person will be cut by a thousand knives, and the women of the whole family have been greeted to the eighteenth generation of their ancestors, etc., all running out of their mouths." ”

Everyone else is like this, how can you talk about the parties? Zhang Er's anger stuck in his chest, spurting out a mouthful of blood, Zhang Er's third master couldn't care about his anger at Luo Jingkun, and hurriedly said: "Er! You have to hold on, quickly, call the doctor, the doctor. ”

An official hurriedly went to invite Dr. Wang, but fortunately Dr. Wang also brought Dr. Wang to the Assassin's Mansion, otherwise the consequences would be unpredictable.

And Chen Rui stood up directly and did what Yu Xiuming wanted to do but didn't do.

When Luo Jingkun saw him walking towards him, he didn't know why, and he looked like an old god was there, but he was completely stunned when he was slapped away, and he didn't react when Chen Rui's feet stepped on......

He didn't react, but it didn't mean that others didn't react, Tian Beijia said angrily: "Don't stop quickly, how can you be allowed to come to the court......"

The third prince didn't say anything, he came to win people's hearts, not to offend the public. Luo Jingkun's brazenness has already caused public anger, and he can't afford to put himself in it.

"Ahh I'm going to kill you," After Chen Rui's feet began to ravage on his face, Luo Jingkun finally reacted and let out an earth-shattering roar, although his voice was a little deformed because his face was trampled on, but it was still very understandable!

Zhou Tingshi didn't find the weapon in his hand, so he gave up, and only after Luo Jingkun's face was ravaged by Chen Rui's feet, did he pretend to cough lightly, "How can General Chen do it in court?" If you want to fight, you have to go out and fight, don't defile the court. ”

……

Everyone was very relieved to see Luo Jingkun being beaten and trampled on by Chen Rui at first, and with Zhou Tingshi's words, the only remaining anger dissipated.

I didn't expect Zhou Quan's father to be quite humorous! He still has to give face, Chen Rui retracted his foot, turned to Zhang Er, and said, "Relieve your anger?" Don't worry, Rowan is dead, as for how to die, you have the final say, how happy you are. ”

Chen Rui was really worried that he would be so angry that his injuries would worsen and he would die, but he knew that the motivation for his life was hatred, and revenge was the goal, so it should be the most effective to stimulate his desire to survive.

Zhang Er felt a lot better, and silently spit out the word "thank you".

Dr. Wang rushed over and hurriedly checked his pulse, pricked the needle, and fed the medicine, which was very busy.

During this period, Luo Jingkun stood up and had a big sole print on his face, which was very funny, but he didn't care about it much, and directly attacked Chen Rui, and said angrily: "This person disturbs the court, should Zhou Tingshi turn a blind eye?" ”

The physical injury is a small matter, but the face is a big matter, how can he swallow this breath?

"Such murderers must be punished severely, otherwise where is the majesty of the law?" Tian Mo was also on the side.

Without waiting for Zhou Tingshi to speak, Chen Rui had already said lightly: "Does Guogong feel light? And Tian Beijia, you also want to taste the taste of being slapped? ”

"You are presumptuous...... "Tian Mo is so angry!" But seeing Chen Rui's eyes and thinking of Luo Jingkun's tragic situation just now, he instinctively chose to retreat.

With the lessons of the past, Luo Jingkun was also afraid of losing face again, but he was angry in his heart, so he said: "I will tell Your Majesty about today's affairs, and let Your Majesty administer justice for me." ”

Chen Rui smiled, "Okay! The Duke of the Kingdom must pay tribute to His Majesty, otherwise it will be his grandson. ”

It was too embarrassing to think that he had such a grandson, so Chen Rui decisively gave him to Zhou Quan as a grandson.

Zhou Quan's head shook like a rattle, "I don't have such a brazen grandson, don't think that I have a good relationship with you and can find my grandson." ”

Zhou Tingshi also said quietly: "I don't have such a brazen great-grandson. ”

"You ......" Luo Jingkun's nose was about to burst into flames, his chest was undulating, if his eyes could kill, I am afraid that Chen Rui and Zhou Quan's father and son would have died hundreds of times.

In Chen Rui's view, this is a clown who jumps off the beam, and he naturally doesn't care about the clown's anger, and said: "Don't you, yours, it is impossible for you not to know what Rowan is doing, but as a result, not only did you not stop it, but also allowed him to act arbitrarily, it is simply a murderer, an accomplice, if Your Majesty knows, do you think it is just a responsibility to treat you as a godson?" ”

Luo Jingkun's back was cold, he really didn't think about stopping it at that time, one or two people, in his opinion, didn't matter at all.

However, thinking that this matter was not without room for recovery, he argued forcefully: "What is the crime of my son in punishing a domestic slave who sells his body? ”

Chen Rui didn't bother to talk nonsense with him, and said to Zhou Tingshi: "I think it's better to use torture directly!" There are all human and material evidence, and he can't quibble. ”

Zhou Tingshi nodded, "The big punishment is waiting." ”

Rowan burst into tears when he heard this: "Dad save me, the third prince saves me, they abuse lynching, you stop them." ”

The third prince was a little hesitant, but Luo Jingkun would not hesitate at all, this is his son, he was distressed by the punishment, but how could he not be clear about his temperament as a father? Under the great punishment, he will come truthfully, and it will really be over when the time comes.

"Zhou Tingshi, do you want to bend into a move?"

"There are all human and material evidence, how can you bend into a trick?"

"Zhang Er is my slave ......"

Zhou Tingshi interrupted him: "You said that Zhang Er is your slave, and you are your slave?" Is there any evidence? ”

Luo Jingkun was prepared, took out a deed of sale and said: "This is a deed of sale signed by Zhang Er. ”

I didn't expect this old bastard to be so well prepared, which made Zhou Jianshi hesitate for a while, not because he doubted the authenticity of the deed of sale, but because if it could not be proved that it was fake, then all the previous human and physical evidence, whether it was Zhang Er's injuries or someone who proved that his injuries were caused by people from the Guogong Mansion, could not be used as evidence to prove that Luo Wen kidnapped people, used lynching, and murdered people.

Because the master has the right to dispose of the slave, it is lawful to lynch him, of course, if the slave violates the law and is disrespectful to the master.

Therefore, what Luo Jingkun just said about Zhang Er defiled the maid in his house, Zhang Er has this calamity, as long as there is sufficient evidence, it is established, then Luo Wen's lynching of Zhang Er is legal, Luo Wen is not only not guilty, but Zhang Er will be severely punished.

And it's not difficult to prepare sufficient evidence, the matter of his house, it's not what he says?

Of course, the premise of all this is that it can't be proved that this deed of sale is fake, but the problem is here, he knows this truth, then Luo Jingkun must also know, so this deed of sale must not be Luo Jingkun bought one casually on the street, but carefully prepared, so it is difficult to distinguish the true from the fake.

In fact, the fingerprints were left when he tortured Zhang Er, which was not Luo Jinkun's unpredictable prophet, but an accident, because it was a bloody handprint.

The name was written by himself, what would the common people write? Is it unusual for him to ghostwrite?

It's just that there is a mark next to it, and he also made it himself, and when the time comes, he will just say that Zhang Er did it, who knows if it's true or not?

Just when Zhou Yifan was in trouble, seeing that he was about to reach a stalemate, Chen Rui said loudly: "You said that Zhang Er asked for help because his mother was critically ill, and your son Luo Wen took pity on him and paid for his mother's treatment, although the final result was death, but he was still willing to sell himself to you and others to be a cow and a horse for you, so what about his mother?" What about his mother's corpse? ”

Zhou Yi's eyes lit up, Zhang Er's mother was tortured to death, and the corpse must be full of external injuries, as long as his body is found, then it can be proved that Luo Jinkun's statement that his son Luo Wen paid for his mother's treatment is false, so it can be inferred that the story he made up and the deed of sale are fake, and there is no need to be entangled in the authenticity of this deed of sale.

"You said that your son was kind and paid for his mother's treatment, but Zhang Er and his mother were not at home, so does it mean that you took their mother and son to the house and took care of them until his mother died, and finally helped arrange the funeral?" Zhou Yi said: "That is to say, Zhang Er's mother was buried by someone you personally sent by you, and she will never know where she is buried." If you say that the body is gone, or if you don't know where it is, then it proves that what you said is a lie, then I will be polite and call on your son Rowan. ”

Luo Jingkun wanted to say that the body was taken away by Zhang Er, and they didn't know where it was buried, but they were blocked back by Zhou Yi's words.

But even so, he wouldn't tell where the corpse was, of course, not because he didn't know, the corpse was buried in a hidden place that even the gods couldn't find.

It's because the corpse is ironclad evidence, the corpse is scarred, and the wounds on Zhang Er's body are not much better, if they see it, it is confirmed that Luo Wen broke into people's houses without permission, kidnapped people without permission, used lynching, and harmed people's lives, which means that Luo Wen will definitely die.

His poor only son is gone, not only will he suffer the pain of the white-haired man sending the black-haired man's liver and intestines, but the Chengguo Mansion will also be implicated, and he doesn't know if the title of the Duke of Guo can be kept or not, but the hereditary replacement must be gone.

You must know that the hereditary title is the last thing the emperor wants to grant, because this is to use his country to support a group of people, or for generations.

Therefore, it is extremely difficult to obtain the title of hereditary replacement, and the existing families with hereditary titles are basically ancestors who are the founding heroes, and a few others are obtained under special circumstances, or the maternal family of the woman who is very favored by the emperor, or the achievements of the world, or very good at slapping horses and so on.

But not to mention, Luo Jingkun has no doubt that Zhou Yi will definitely torture Luo Wen, and under the punishment, his son will probably finish saying it word for word.

Looking for a corpse to replace? But in such a short period of time, where can I go to find a corpse of about the same age and size, all of whom have died of illness?

What to do? Luo Jingkun's forehead was covered with sweat.

Seeing that he was reluctant to speak out, everyone was impatient, and Zhou Tingshi said: "......"

"I said, I said," Luo Jinkun hurriedly interrupted him and said, "I can't remember exactly where it is, give me some time, let me find it." ”

Want to stall? Think such a trick works? Even if I give you time, it won't be difficult for me to bring Rowan to justice! What's more, I don't want to give it now, Zhou Tingshi sneered, and said loudly: "The big punishment is waiting." ”

"You ......"

"Blasting out the idlers and others."

"Stop!" Seeing that the situation was getting more and more unfavorable, Tian Mo, who had reaped the benefits of Chengguo Gong, stood up, pointed at Zhou Yi angrily and said, "Zhou Yi, do you still have a royal law in your eyes?" Tortured into tricks, arrogant and unreasonable, arbitrary, you vulgar barbarian is also worthy of being the governor of a state? I will give you a copy of it to your majesty. ”

"Come on! Tian Mo got drunk, and then he went crazy and blasted me out. ”
