Chapter 077: The Murderer

Lu Cheng originally thought that after giving the students a holiday today, he could rest and rest after he went back. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info just arrived home, so he asked the officers to detain him and escort him to the county office.

Lu Cheng didn't know what was going on at all, and tried to get some words from the mouths of several public officials, but they ignored him, so he could only shut up in a sneering manner.

The yamen in Lanyang County is not much different from Xiangfu County, but it is a little simpler in terms of building scale. At this moment, it seems that the court is opening to ask the case, and there are already many ordinary people who have come to watch the trial outside the lobby.

As soon as Lu Cheng saw this scene, he realized that he had a big deal, if he guessed correctly, it should be the Zhao family who came to sue him for a yamen.

The trappers took him straight to the lobby, knowing that he had a meritorious reputation, but they did not force him to kneel on the ground.

Lu Cheng raised his eyes and found that there was a little discrepancy with his conjecture, the person who was in charge of the trial today was not the magistrate of Lanyang, but Feng Tuiguan!

The county lord became a juror and sat on the right side, while Lu Cheng, another jury official, had not seen it. The man sat on the left, wearing a crimson official robe, and the patch on his chest was embroidered with the same lark pattern as the prefect of He.

In other words, this person's official rank is at least the fourth rank and above, and he is a provincial official. Because below the prefectural level, only the prefect has the rank of the fourth grade.

What surprised him even more was that the two couples kneeling in the hall were Sun Xiujuan's maiden family. In the current situation, could it be that these two former fathers-in-law and mother-in-law sued themselves? Why is that?

People who have no relationship for a long time, what are they going to sue themselves?

Before he had time to think about it, Lu Cheng bowed to the hall and said, "The student has seen Lord Si Li, Lord Daotai, and Lord County. ”

Basically, it is not wrong to call it this way, because whether the other party is a subordinate official of the Political Envoy Department or the deputy envoy of the Procuratorial Envoy Division, they are all assigned to inspect the Taoist platforms of various prefectures and counties, and the chief officials of the two divisions rarely appear in the county government to interrogate.

He really didn't guess wrong, the person who was present today was Xie Zhong from the sub-patrol road, Xie Observation.

There are four sub-patrol roads in Henan, which are divided to inspect various prefectures and counties, and specialize in the impeachment of criminal names, namely Henan, Hebei, Runan, and Daliang. And Kaifeng Mansion is under the jurisdiction of Daliang Road.

Xie Guan was also very surprised when he heard Lu Cheng call him, and said in his heart that this person was not only talented and learned, but also had such a quick thinking, it seemed that this case was not easy to handle.

"Lu Sheng, this is the second time we've met, right?"

Feng Tuiguan greeted Lu Cheng with a smile, but there was a bit of ridicule in his tone.

Before Lu Cheng could reply, he had already grabbed the startled wood and slapped it hard, and scolded solemnly: "This official never thought that you, as a student of the government, would be such a vicious and vicious person!" Let me ask you, have you pleaded guilty to it now? ”

Lu Cheng glanced at him lightly, and arched his hand: "Dare to ask Master Si Li, what crime did the student commit?" ”

"Hmph...... When you get to this lobby, you dare to deny it! ”

Feng Tuiguan smiled coldly, arched his hand at Xie Guan, and then continued: "Today, this official accompanied Xie Guan to inspect the justice of Lanyang County, and released a card to receive a complaint, I don't want to receive a complaint from the Sun family and his wife, accusing you of killing your wife Lu Sun, and throwing your body into ......the river."

Lu Cheng's pupils shrank slightly when he heard this, but Feng Tuiguan was stunned, and turned to the Sun couple kneeling in the hall and asked, "What this official said, but the testimony of the two of you accusing Lu Cheng?" ”

The two people kneeling under the hall nodded their heads busily, knocked their heads on the floor, and cried: "What the adults said is right, please ask the adults to be the masters of the small people!" ”

"Smack-"

Feng Tuiguan was shocked, and reprimanded in a deep voice: "Lu Cheng, you have read the poetry and books of sages and sages, but you ignore the laws of the court and kill your wife, what crime should you be guilty of?!! ”

Lu Cheng would never have thought that today he would be involved in a murder case and be accused of being a murderer, and the deceased would be Sun Xiujuan!

He understands now, this is probably the Zhao family's means of revenge. It's just that they ruthlessly killed a human life, is it just to blame themselves?

If this is the case, this Zhao family is too lawless, and the cruelty of its methods is too outrageous!

He forced himself to calm down and replied, "Now that the student knows the whole story, how can he confess his guilt?" Moreover, Master Si Li is afraid that he is mistaken, it is true that Sun is the wife of a student, but he has reconciled and divorced two months ago, which has been approved by the county. ”

"Oh?"

Feng Tuiguan showed surprise on his face, but the Sun couple who were kneeling in the hall shouted: "Wronged, my lord, the little girl did not reconcile with Lu Cheng, it was he Lu Cheng who won the list, and disliked the little girl's background too low, so he wrote a letter of resignation to abandon the little girl." ”

As soon as Sun Xiujuan's father finished speaking, her mother immediately said: "Yes, my lord, the little girl has always been virtuous, how could she bring up the matter of reconciliation and divorce for no reason?" It is clear that he Lu Cheng fell in love with Xiucai, so he disliked the little girl, and people said that the wife of the chaff did not go to court, and his Lu Cheng's conscience was really fed to the dog! My lord, please call the shots for us! ”

After listening to this, Feng Tuiguan turned his head to Lanyang Zhixian and asked, "Ye Zhixian, is what the defendant Lu Cheng said true?" ”

"This ......"

Ye Zhixian stroked his beard, and after a deep groan, he arched his hand and said: "Master Si Li, this matter is handled by the scribes, and the lower officials will let the master call the master to ask." ”

Ye Zhixian is not wrong to say so, although he is a county order, he does not have to decide everything personally. In a huge county, some small things are responsible for the clerks, masters and scribes of the canons. Further up, there are the main books and the expatriate county officials.

The county's marriage and divorce can be approved by the master, and it is normal for him not to know about it.

Soon, the master was passed to the hall. When asked about Lu Cheng and Li, after thinking for a while, he replied aloud: "Lord Hui, Lao Yu has indeed seen Lu Shengren's documents, but it is not a document of Heli, but a letter of divorce!" ”

"Did you approve it then?"

"Not approved."

"Why is that?" Feng Tuiguan then asked.

"Adults don't know."

The master arched his hand again and explained: "But when approving all the divorce of a wife, it is necessary to identify whether the woman has committed seven cases before granting a divorce. In addition, if the woman is in possession of the three no-go regulations, she cannot abandon them. ”

"Lao Yu let people check at that time, Lu Sun's family had been a family member for three years, and he should not be abandoned, Lu Sheng's move was not in accordance with the law, and Lao Yu did not approve it."

"Smack-"

Feng Tuiguan was shocked and scolded: "Lu Cheng, what crime should you be guilty of daring to deceive this official with daring words?!! ”

This time, he was no longer in a hurry to torture Lu Cheng. Feng Tuiguan knew very well in his heart that this person was familiar with the law, and he could not be suppressed by official authority alone.

Lu Cheng didn't expect that the "Letter of Releasing Wife" that he had written would now become a "Letter of Refuge from Wife", which is simply the biggest joke in the world!

How could he not understand that with the relationship between Ye Zhixian and the Zhao family, he naturally wanted to favor the Zhao family. Has this happened less before?

The Zhao family only needs to spend money to buy off the scribes in the yamen who handle this matter, and they can reverse right and wrong, confuse black and white, and fabricate a so-called "fact". Even if his whole body is full of mouths, it is difficult to argue.

After thinking for a while, Lu Cheng arched his hand and said: "The student only knows that he has written a letter to release his wife, so why should he say that he has to leave the book?" Dare to ask my lord, where is the letter of resignation? ”
