Volume 1 Frontier Storm Chapter 39 Frontal Confrontation
Under the complex and changeable gaze of more than 100 people inside and outside the lobby, Lu Zhen spoke again: "The two of you have their own opinions, which is indeed difficult to distinguish between true and false. However, ......" said, his words were stunned, and his face sank and said: "People can lie, but evidence will not!" ”
Evidence? The people around were obviously stunned, and they couldn't understand what he was referring to, where did this lawsuit come from, and what evidence did it come from? But more people have the attitude of watching the show, but they are more relished.
Lu Zhen also quickly solved the mystery for them: "Come on, go and ask the Shen master to transfer the contracts of these two families to trade land, so that the official can see what is going on!" ”
Since the Wang family had sold the land to the Tian family, they had to register with the local government, that is, the Guangling County Ya, and leave a contract note to prevent any further disputes between the two parties in the future, or secretly change the content of the contract. These documents are all taken care of by the Shen master book.
Immediately, an errand officer said yes and walked out of the hall, in fact, he didn't need to come out, and Master Shen, who was hearing the trial outside, had already made a look at a subordinate next to him, and ordered him to quickly go and find out the contract. He wanted to see how Lu Zhen would try the case next.
With the active cooperation of Master Shen, it was easy to find a contract, but after a meal, the errand took a contract and rushed back.
Lu Zhen took this object and swept it casually, and showed an unfathomable smile, and then ordered someone to show it to the original defendant and the two defendants kneeling below, so that they could distinguish the authenticity: "This is indeed the contract certificate for your land sale, and it is not fake, right?" ”
Wang Fifteen was illiterate, so he could only nod in confusion at this time, anyway, it looked very similar to the previous one. It was Tian Kui, who looked carefully up and down, left and right, and only after confirming it, said: "If you go back to your lordship, this is it." ”
"Okay." Lu Zhen nodded with satisfaction: "Then this case will be easy to try." Tian Kui, are you guilty? ”
He said this easily, but it made the others confused, and Tian Kui shouted loudly again: "My lord, the grass people are wronged, and the grass people don't dare to do such a thing no matter how bold they are." ”
"Why, if there is empirical evidence, do you still want to quibble with clever words?" Lu Jin's face sank, shook the words in his hand and said: "This is clearly written, if you don't take advantage of it, it is impossible to buy the thirteen acres of land of the Wang family." ”
There was an uproar among the people listening to the trial outside, and they didn't understand why Lu Zhen made such an assertion, and they immediately discussed it. Although everyone knows what kind of virtue the Tian family is, they also want to know more clearly.
"Okay, then the official will let you know what you're wrong." As he spoke, Lu Zhen stood up from behind the case, walked slowly in front of Tian Kui, and put the note in front of him: "It is clearly written on this, you bought thirteen acres of fertile land with twenty-seven taels of silver." ”
"Yes, yes......" Although Tian Kui was beating a drum in his heart, he still couldn't understand what was wrong.
"But look at the location of the forty-seven taels of silver written here......" Lu Zhen pressed a little bit on the place where he said: "Why did these forty-two characters fall on the side of seven taels, it doesn't look like they were written together at all, but like they were added afterwards." ”
"This ......" A layer of fine sweat suddenly appeared on Tian Kui's head, he didn't expect Lu Zhen to see it so carefully, and he was so serious, he didn't know how to justify it.
"Also, now that I use a lot of copper coins in the Ming Dynasty, even if your family is rich, I'm afraid you won't be able to take out more than forty taels of silver, right?" Lu Zhen sneered. Now is not after Jiajing, the silver is also circulated between the government and the court, and there are not too many people, and some private silver has to be convicted if it is found out.
At this moment, Tian Kui was completely dumbfounded, and he didn't know how to explain it at all. However, Lu Zhen had already returned to the seat above, and after sitting down, he said: "So if the official's expectation is good, you only used seven taels of silver to buy more than ten acres of fertile land of the Wang family, so you will make the Wang family dissatisfied, so there was a conflict, and three innocent people were killed." And in order to cover up all this, you even colluded with the people in the yamen to tamper with this contract! As he spoke, he slapped the startled wood again, and asked, "Tian Kui, you still haven't recruited from the truth!" ”
Although Tian Kui is a tyrant in the county, but after all, he is just a common man, and if it is the people, they will have the mind of fearing officials.
At this time, as long as you are not a fool, you can see that there is something wrong with him, and what Lu Xianling said is nine times out of ten is accurate, which makes many people angry and blame him outside.
Zheng Fu, who heard this, was like water, he didn't expect that Lu Jin, who had always been low-key and cowardly, would have such a sharp and clear moment, and then he knew that today's matter was very troublesome.
You can't let this kid continue to make trouble, otherwise it will be even more difficult to end! Thinking of this, Zheng Fu didn't hesitate anymore, and walked straight to the lobby as soon as he took a step.
At the same time, Lu Jin, who was trying the case above, had already asked again: "Bold Tian Kui, what kind of person in the yamen is so careless about human life and colluding with you, and he still doesn't recruit from the truth!" If not, the official will torture you!" As he spoke, he picked up the startling wood and slapped it down again, the sound was louder than any time before, and the weight of the power was even more terrifying.
Tian Kui's heart was empty, but he also understood that he couldn't really tell the truth of the matter, so he could only bow his head and kneel there without saying a word. But at the same time, he was also worried that this county magistrate would really order someone to torture him, and under the nervous and frightened body, his body was already sweating like pulp, and his back was wet with sweat in the blink of an eye.
At this moment, a cold voice sounded from behind him: "Lu County's order is really a big official, it's really surprising!" ”
This familiar sound...... Tian Kui subconsciously turned his head to look, and saw Zheng Fu walking slowly, and soon passed by him. As soon as he saw that he had finally arrived, it was like seeing a savior, Tian Kui's heart suddenly calmed down, who was in charge of this county office, he knew better than many people.
Lu Jin's and Zheng Fu's eyes met at this moment, and there seemed to be firelight bursting in the air. And the servants in the hall were obviously trembling, for fear that Zheng Dianshi would hold them accountable afterwards, and some even had the idea of withdrawing and leaving.
These people have always had to rely on Zheng Fu's snort to live, and now while he is not there, they actually help the magistrate to judge the case, and the servants are naturally very weak-minded. But after all, it was at the time of the court trial, and they didn't dare to offend the county lord, after all, the other party was nominally the county lord, and it was not too difficult to rectify these little people. In this way, the officers became in a dilemma.
After Lu Zhen and Zheng Fu's eyes met, they suddenly laughed. Although this guy came a little earlier, it didn't hurt, just using the momentum just now to suppress him. I had made full preparations for this scene, how could I retreat, so I took a deep breath.
Unexpectedly, before he could speak, Zheng Fu spoke first, only to see him wave his hand, and said lightly to the people around him like a duck: "What are you still doing here, let's disperse." As an old fritter who has been in officialdom for many years, he can naturally see the current situation, so even if he hates Lu Zhen in his heart, it is not good to confront him head-on at this time, it is better to suppress the matter first, and then deal with the other party.
What does it mean to be domineering? What do you mean by a word? That's it. As soon as this master of the history entered the hall, he directly announced that he would let everyone disperse, which is completely not in the eyes of the magistrate who sat high above to try the case, and even the law of the Ming Dynasty.
The officers were already moved, and when they heard him say this, they naturally wanted to disperse. But at this moment, a loud bang came from above, and Lu Jinsenran's voice also sounded: "Bold Zheng Fu, dare to disturb the court, take him down for me!" ”
Lu Zhen was really annoyed, but his heart was not disturbed, and he knew that he could only succeed here at this time, so he immediately spoke.
However, this order did not get a response from his subordinates, and although those errand soldiers subconsciously stopped in place and did not disperse as Zheng Fu said, none of them dared to step forward to take people.
Joke, these people have always acted according to Zheng Dianshi's orders, how could they suddenly turn against each other because of such a sentence from Lu County's order?
Zheng Fu thought the same thing in his heart, and his face showed a smile of disdain and ridicule, this guy really takes himself seriously, even in this hall, he is still an immovable existence!
But just as his smile appeared on his face, a figure had already pounced out of the queue on the side, and just when he was stunned, his two hands were suddenly cut back, and he suddenly couldn't move.
All this happened so quickly that not only Zheng Fu felt caught off guard, but even the servants on both sides could only watch him stunned and stunned, unable to react at all. It wasn't until everything was a foregone conclusion that everyone could see clearly the appearance of the person who made the move, it was actually Lin Lie, who had always been taciturn.
"Lin Lie, you are so bold!" After Zheng Fu saw the appearance of the person who held him, he was immediately furious and scolded.
"Zheng Fu, you are so bold, not only trespassing in the lobby, but also daring to be so rude to your boss, let him kneel!" Before the others could react, Lu Zhen had already ordered loudly.
Without a moment's hesitation, Lin Lie's knee had suddenly hit Zheng Fu's knee with a force forward, and he suddenly lost strength in both feet, and he fell to the ground with a bang. This time he slammed his knees on the ground, and the pain shook him all over, and he almost burst into tears.
And the surrounding officials, as well as the people outside the hall, were completely shocked by the sudden change in front of them, and they didn't even make a single move or speak......
