Chapter 39: The Peak and the Loop (I)
Xu Lang, Jiang Beiming, Shi Xianyang and others were arranged to eat in a room, and the prosecution and defense came to an end for the time being. But the two groups www.biquge.info of people outside the house moved the verbal swords in the courtroom outside the courtroom.
Sun Tianhao led a group of people to shout with banners: "Judicial independence, procedural justice, and resolutely support open and fair trials." β
On the other side, Qiu Peng also led a group of people to jump and shout: "Eradicate the traitors and defend Yulin Bay." Not killing is not enough to outrage the people. β
There were no less than hundreds of Ming Dynasty people around, all holding bowls and looking at these two groups of people. Liu Guannan stood in the middle of the 2 gangs with 20 heavily armed members of the security team, and was so angry in his heart, "This is a adjournment, and it's a fart, you still have to eat if you don't eat, and you really think you're a monkey." β
Xu Lang put down his rice bowl and wiped his mouth: "Beiming, Da Leiγγγγγγγ β
Jiang Beiming shouted at Shi Xianyang: "Presiding judge, I protest. The defender used meal times to talk to me and interfered with my rest. β
"Alright, alright." Shi Xianyang shook his hand that couldn't hold the bowl: "What do you like, this morning, I'm tired." I can tell you, if this happens again in the afternoon, I will simply stop the judge and become a monk. β
"To be a monk? Why do you want to be a monk? Cheng Yiyi asked strangely.
"Don't knock on the gavel, knock on the wooden fish." Shi Xianyang replied angrily.
Several people were arguing, and suddenly a Li Shuang's subordinate walked in, lying next to Jiang Beiming's ear and secretly saying a few words. Jiang Beiming's eyes lit up, and he lay on Sun Dalei's ear and muttered a few words. The two looked at Xu Lang, didn't say a word, stood up and went out with the comer.
Cheng Yiyi glanced at Xu Lang and asked in a low voice, "Is there a change?" β
Xu Lang shook his head: "I don't know, let's be improvised." β
Shi Xianyang's gavel fell on the table again: "Now continue the trial, if there are no new issues between the prosecution and defense, the court will enter the closing argument." β
Jiang Beiming stood up and glanced at Xu Lang proudly: "Presiding judge, the prosecution asks for the third witness Ding Jian to be called." β
Xu Lang and Shi Xianyang were both stunned, where did Jiang Beiming find a third witness.
Ding Jian stood uncomfortably on the witness stand, this was the first time he had experienced this way of raising the court to question the case.
"Ding Jian, what is your profession?" Sun Dalei asked.
Ding Jian straightened his chest: "Yazhou Inspection Division archers." "When one person attains the Tao, the chicken and the dog ascend to heaven. Li Shuang got the post of inspector of the Yazhou Inspection Department, and his subordinates have also achieved positive results.
"Ding Jian, do you recognize the person in the dock?" Sun Dalei pointed at Li Dayao and continued to ask.
"Yes. He is Li Dayao, we have been following Li Ye before, but I didn't expect him to betray Li Ye, this eats something outside the inside. Ding Jian gritted his teeth and said.
"You said that he betrayed Li Shuang, and said that he ate inside and out, why do you say that?"
"That time in Yazhou." Ding Jian scratched his head and thought for a while, "It was the time when Master Xu and Master Sun went to Yazhou a few months ago, and I saw him with my own eyes and He Biao, He Laosan's family. β
"Then why didn't you say it in the first place?"
"Master Sun, we followed Master Li to do this business, and we have dealt with all kinds of people, so He Biao and Li Dayao are still a little related, so I didn't think much about it."
"Then why do you think that Li Dayao colluded with He Lao Liu to sneak attack Yulin Bay now?"
"Master Sun, I have been following Ding Sanye in Wanzhou these days, and I just returned to Yulin Bay this morning, I heard that you found this traitor, and I remembered what he did in Yazhou. At that time, I also half-jokingly asked him about meeting He Biao, but now that I think about it, he was very nervous at the time, and repeatedly begged me not to say it. After Ding Jian finished speaking, he stared at Li Dayao in the dock, "Li Dayao, you pat your conscience, what did Li Ye and his brothers do to you, Xiao Wuzi also saved your life back then, have you forgotten, because of you, he died at sea, you, you, I can't wait to cut you with a thousand knives." β
"Ask you what to say, don't say more." Sun Dalei stopped Ding Jian, "How many times have you seen him meet He Biao?" β
"Twice." Ding Jian replied.
"I'm fine." Sun Dalei returned to his seat after speaking.
Xu Lang slowly walked in front of Ding Jian: "Ding Jian, do you believe in religion?" β
"Religious? Master Xu, what does it mean to be religious? Xu Lang's words confused Ding Jian.
Xu Lang realized that his question was too advanced, so he changed his words: "Do you believe in Guanyin Bodhisattva or the Jade Emperor?" β
"Believe, then how can you not believe it." Ding Jian felt that Xu Lang's question was really strange, who didn't believe Guanyin who saved the suffering.
"Okay, then you follow my example, I'll say a word, you say a word." Xu Lang said and raised his right hand and rushed out with his palm.
All the people didn't understand what Xu Lang meant, and Sun Dalei and Jiang Beiming forgot to shout even if they objected.
"There are gods in the head. I swear with all sincerity that everything I say is what I have seen and heard with my own eyes, and there is no falsehood in it. If there is a violation, the sky will thunder. β
"Lift γγγγγγ" As soon as Ding Jian's word "lift" came out, Li Dayao in the defendant's seat suddenly fell to his knees with a thud: "Master, Master Qingtian, I recruit, I recruit all, it is I who colluded with He Lao Liu, it is I who told He Biao about Yulin Bay, it is me, I did it all." β
"Oops." Xu Lang secretly screamed bitterly, just thinking about using the Ming Dynasty's reverence for the gods to find out the omissions in Ding Jian's testimony, but he forgot that Li Dayao was also a Ming Dynasty. He admitted it in court, so there was no need to try it again.
"Presiding Judge." Before anyone else could react, Xu Lang was the first to say: "In view of my client's mood fluctuations, it is not suitable to continue, and I ask the court to postpone the retrial." β
"Against." Jiang Beiming finally reacted and postponed? Xu Lang can't be given this opportunity, "The defendant has now pleaded guilty in court, and there is no need to adjourn the case, and the case can be concluded in court." β
Zhou Lei and Xu Tianbin had already stopped Li Dayao's crying. Shi Xianyang beckoned, and called Xu Lang, Cheng Yiyi, Sun Dalei, and Jiang Beiming to him: "Tell me, what to do next, postpone or continue." β
"Go on, what's the bet?" Jiang Beiming preemptively said, "This matter is not a lice on the bald head, it is obvious." β
"You can't say that." Xu Lang retorted, "There is only one truth, but the truth will never be known, all we have to do is to get as close to the truth as possible." β
"Yes, yes. Now is not the time for you to go on this tirade. Jiang Beiming interrupted Xu Lang, "Hurry up and end this matter, it's about to be the New Year, how many things are waiting." β
"Xu Lang, let me ask you, putting aside the perspective of the defender, do you personally think that Li Dayao has colluded with He Lao Liu." Sun Dalei asked.
"I refuse to answer." Xu Lang's words caused a low burst of laughter from several people.
"I don't think it's going to be delayed, if you have any questions, just ask, and the case will be closed today." Shi Xianyang said, "As for whether you are guilty or not, how big the crime is, let the jury go to the brain, I'm tired." β
Several people returned to their seats, and Xu Lang said something to Cheng Yiyi in a low voice. Shi Xianyang tapped the gavel: "This judge refuses to adjourn this case, and now the trial continues." β
"The prosecution requests that the defendant be questioned." Sun Dalei walked up to Li Dayao, "Defendant, do you admit that you colluded with He Laoliu to attack Yulin Bay and kill Xiao Wuzi and others?" β
"Against. Oppose the prosecutor's induced questioning. β
"The objection is invalid." Shi Xianyang secretly scolded Xu Lang in his heart, "Don't look for trouble, hurry up." β
Li Dayao's mood is now a little calmer: "I admit that He Biao has looked for me several times and gave me 5 taels of silver, and I told him the time and route of your meeting and salt transportation, but I didn't want to hurt anyone." He Biao just told me that He Laosan wanted to know about the situation in Yulin Bay, and said that he also wanted to come to Yulin Bay to buy salt. After the incident, I was also very scared, and I had nightmares every day, dreaming that Xiao Wuzi and they were asking for my life, this is all retribution, retribution. β
"Since you have remorse, why do you continue to contact them and provide information about Yulin Bay." Sun Dalei continued to ask.
"I can't help it, I originally thought that He Laosan and He Laoliu were both in prison, and this matter is over. But who knew that they found me again and threatened me with this, and if I didn't obey, they would spread out, and I had no choice but to listen to them. β
"I'm done."
