Chapter 76: False accusations
On the way, Xue Fei'er had already told Liu Zhukuai about the incident, Liu Zhukuai was seriously injured and had just recovered, very weak, and listened to Xue Fei'er say that his wife and father actually went to the lobby to sue the life-saving benefactor Du Wenhao, so angry that he trembled all over, and almost fainted again.
Finally came to the lobby, many people recognized Liu Zhukuai, and knew that his family had prepared a funeral for him, and he actually came back to life, now he saw the real person, all kinds of previous speculations disappeared, and a burst of warm applause broke out in the crowd.
The soaps carried him to the lobby, Liu Laohan had just woken up, and was lying on the ground with a pale face and panting. Wu fell prostrate on the ground, sobbing in a low voice. Hearing the sound, he turned his head and found that it was his husband who was carried over, sad, happy and ashamed, trembling and crawling to the side of the bed, and called: "Husband......"
Syllable! Liu Zhuai raised his hand and slapped her, shouting: "Take ......, bring me a pen and paper to ......, I want to ......, I will take revenge for this favor...... Wicked woman! ”
The crowd burst into a round of commotion and applause:
"That's right! Divorce her! ”
"No, sell her to the kiln!"
"Fart, do you want this kind of kiln sister too?"
"Yes! I'm going to smack her! ”
"Hahaha......"
Wu was ashamed, staggered to his feet, glanced at his husband, turned his head, and slammed into the pillar stone pier next to the lobby!
Lin Qingdai happened to be standing next to the chair that she didn't accept the money at the previous end, she didn't expect this Wu family to have such a strong personality, she said that she would die, she couldn't stop it, she flew up and kicked on the chair, and with a bang, the chair quickly slid out, and hit Wu in the oblique thorn, and Wu's head was also missed, missing the door of the head, and the sideburns crossed the edge of the stone pier, wiping out a bloody mouth.
Wu threw himself to the ground and began to cry.
This thrilling scene frightened everyone, and they were secretly glad that Lin Qingdai made a timely move to save the woman's life. Pang Yuqin hurriedly ran over and hugged her: "Sister-in-law, don't be like this!" There's something to discuss! ”
Du Wenhao walked to the side of the bed and said to Liu Zhu: "Brother Liu, sister-in-law didn't mean it, he and your father were deceived by Xu Sihai, sister-in-law still feels very sorry for you, and she begged for someone for you." For your children's sake, don't divorce your wife. ”
Liu Zhukuai and the Wu family have always been very affectionate, and they were also angry just now, and when they saw that their wife was going to die, their hearts softened. He said sadly: "Doctor Du......, we ......, we can't stop you!" Since Engong said so, ......, I listened to you as ......," he turned his head to Wu, who was lying on the ground crying, and shouted laboriously, "Slut, you ...... Can't afford to give ...... Eun Gong kowtowed...... Make amends! ”
Wu crawled over crying and wanted to kowtow to Du Wenhao, but Du Wenhao hurriedly said no. asked Pang Yuqin to help inspect the wound on her forehead, but it was only an epidermal abrasion, and it didn't hurt the bones.
During this period, Master Hou and the scribe in charge of recording muttered for a while, the scribe nodded again and again, Master Hou muttered to Zhuang Zhixian for a while, Zhuang Zhixian also nodded, and said: "Liu Zhu is about to arrive, and he will be promoted to ask the case again!" ”
The scribe shouted, "Idler, quit!" Ascend-hall-huh-"
The onlookers generally retreated to the platform outside the lobby when the tide receded. The soap subordinates knocked on the water and fire sticks again and shouted mightily, Zhuang Zhixian sat down steadily behind the table in the warm pavilion, and the wooden slap sounded, and he re-ascended to the hall, and first asked Liu Zhu what happened, especially the injury at that time. Liu Zhu was about to recover from his serious injury, and he was impatient with fatigue, so he spoke briefly intermittently.
Zhuang Zhixian asked the divine doctor to pay no money and Xu Sihai to quickly diagnose Liu Zhu's pulse to see if he could still live.
Divine Doctor Qian Bu stroked his beard to check the pulse first, and after a while, he said loudly: "Although Liu Zhukuai's pulse is still critical, it is already better than the old and decay examination in the morning, and it can be seen that the injury is steadily recovering." ”
Xu Sihai came in with his head down, and after quickly diagnosing Liu Zhu's pulse, in the face of the divine doctor's refusal to accept money, of course he didn't dare to talk nonsense, and said in a low voice with a red face: "Yes...... Liu Zhukuai Judging from the pulse, it is indeed ...... There is no need to worry about my life! ”
Although the voice of this was relatively small, the people outside the hall had already heard it clearly, and there was a burst of cheers and thunderous applause. Liu Laohan and Wu were so happy that tears flowed non-stop.
Zhuang Zhixian waited for the cheers outside the hall to stop, and then he was shocked: "This case has been revealed, and the two will hear the verdict!" ”
Du Wenhao and Xu Sihai both bowed down and listened.
Zhuang Zhixian first said to Zhao and Xi: "You two openly framed others in court and spread rumors, although the framing has not succeeded, but this wind cannot last, and the county will punish you two with eighty palms!" ”
The two women trembled with fright and almost collapsed on the ground. Unexpectedly, Zhuang Zhixian gasped for breath, paused, and continued: "But you and your husband are both famous doctors, treating the people's injuries and seeing doctors, for their sake, this account will be remembered for the time being, if you hear you slandering Mr. Du below, you can have the new account and the old account together!" Step aside! ”
The two hurriedly swore that they would never dare again, and after kowtowing and thanking them, they bowed their heads and retreated out of the crowd amid the laughter of the onlookers.
Zhuang Zhixian looked at Cai Tou, a soldier who was kneeling and trembling on the side: "What about you, why did you make up lies to deceive the county?" ”
Cai Tou kowtowed again and again: "The little one should be damned, it was Dr. Xu who gave the small one ten taels of silver, and he wanted the small one to say so." Ask for forgiveness! ”
"How can the crime of being greedy for money and betraying righteousness and framing others be forgiven?! Come on, drag it down and hit the fifty big boards! Shackles for a month! ”
Several soap subordinates agreed in unison, stepped forward and dragged Cai Tou to the lobby platform and pressed him down, and Thunderbolt Bala beat him so hard that his skin was open, and he cried for his father. After the beating, he put a 50-pound wooden shackle around his neck and led him to the flagpole outside the yamen to show the public for a month.
Zhuang Zhixian looked at Liu Laohan and Wu: "Do you two continue to sue your benefactor?" ”
Liu Laohan had already knelt on the ground with the support of his grandson, and kowtowed to Wu at the moment: "No, no! Don't tell me! Previously, he misheard Xu Sihai's words and falsely accused his benefactor, but the grass people were wrong, and the grass people withdrew the lawsuit and did not sue, and they were willing to be punished by the adults. ”
Zhuang Zhixian nodded: "Well, it was not the intention of the two of you to make false accusations, Liu Laohan, you are sick again, and the Wu family also knew his mistake just now and died Mingzhi, and he had already received thirty slaps before, which is enough to teach a lesson." I'm exempt from your punishment, so let's go down! ”
Liu Laohan and Wu hurriedly kowtowed and thanked him, and with the support of his grandson, they retreated outside the hall.
Zhuang Zhixian looked at Xu Sihai with a cold gaze: "Plaintiff, your witnesses have all been retracted, the physical evidence has also been proved wrong, and the other two plaintiffs have also withdrawn the lawsuit, what about you?" ”
Xu Sihai said with a smile: "The student withdrew the lawsuit!" I didn't tell him, the student didn't look carefully at the time, mistakenly thought that the crack on the spleen was cut by a knife, and listened to some rumors, so he misunderstood Mr. Du, which really shouldn't be. He turned around and bowed deeply to Du Wenhao: "Mr. Du, the contemptible person has made amends to you here!" ......, hehe"
Syllable!
Zhuang Zhixian was shocked and shouted: "The original complaint can be withdrawn, but what about your false accusation?" ”
Xu Sihai's forehead was dripping with cold sweat, and he trembled: "The student ......, the student is willing to compensate the defendant for the loss!" to make up for the student's faults. ”
Zhuang Zhixian originally intended to be muddy, nodded when he heard the words, and said to Du Wenhao with a pleasant face: "Mr. Du, the plaintiff has admitted his mistake and is willing to compensate for this case, what do you mean ......?" ”
Du Wenhao put his hands behind his back and said coldly: "My lord, I heard people say 'false accusation and reverse sitting', it's not just a loss of money, right?" If the false accuser can lose money, wouldn't the rich be free to make false accusations without fear of any punishment? ”
"This ......," Zhuang Zhixian stroked his beard and smiled a little embarrassed.
Du Wenhao glanced at Xu Sihai and said abruptly: "Since he falsely accused me of murder by being a quack doctor and falsely accused him of sitting back, then he should be punished according to this crime, which is fair!" Although I don't understand the criminal law, it seems that criminals who intentionally kill people should be ...... shot, beheaded or hanged, right? ”
False accusation is to punish the false accuser with the crime of false accusation. Xu Sihai falsely accused Du Wenhao of the crime of homicide by quack doctors, and according to the provisions of the Great Song Dynasty Criminal Law "Song Criminal System": "All doctors are inferior to their own prescriptions, and those who kill and injure people are judged to have killed or injured people", that is to say, if a doctor deliberately does not operate in accordance with medical regulations, causing death or injury, he will be punished according to intentional homicide or intentional injury, and according to the "Song Criminal Law", the crime can be sentenced to death at the maximum.
There are regulations for false accusations against sitting in all dynasties, and the ordinary people know it, and of course Xu Sihai also knows it, so when he heard this, Xu Sihai was so frightened that his body became weak, his head buzzed, and he almost collapsed on the ground.
