Chapter 227: Mountains and Rivers Resurrect Doubts and No Way Out (1st Update)

(Recommended reading: At the beginning of the day, the crowded and noisy Shuntianfu.

"Someone, take the plaintiff!" Sun Xiang, who was sitting in the lobby, slapped the startling wood in front of him hard, and shouted loudly to the messenger standing in front of the hall.

With Sun Xiang's shouting, the people in the courtyard outside the lobby who came to hear the trial suddenly quieted down, and they stretched their necks to look at the lobby, all of them looking interested.

Although the people of the capital are well-informed and have witnessed too many civil and military officials of the imperial court being interrogated, if you want to talk about the case of being designated by the emperor as a royal case after beating the drum, don't say that they are even their grandfather's grandfather's grandfather has never experienced it in his lifetime.

Not only that, the person on trial this time is Xie Yuan of the Huguang Township Examination, which can be described as the future scholar of the Ming Dynasty, and he was also tried during the opening of the examination, which is an unprecedented thing in the history of the Ming Dynasty.

At the entrance of the lobby, at the front of the onlookers, Zhao Xin stood there with a cold expression, her eyebrows frowning slightly, and her fourth uncle Zhao Deli stood beside her, and several strong subordinates protected the two of them in the middle to avoid being collided by the people around them.

Zhao Deli's face was extremely serious, his face sank like water, he thought that Zhao Xin would be able to pass the Jinshi exam this time to show Zhao Jiaguangzong to Yaozu, who would have thought that Zhao Xin unexpectedly sounded the Dengwen drum to avenge Li Hongyu's grievances, which made him stunned and a helpless wry smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

As Zhao Xin's fourth uncle, Zhao Deli of course knew that Zhao Xin was his daughter, and before Li Hongyu and Zhao Xin came to the capital, he received a letter from Old Man Zhao, asking him to do his best to help Zhao Xin and Li Hongyu, even if he put the Fuxiang number into it.

This made Zhao Deli feel extremely surprised, although he knew that Old Man Zhao loved Zhao Xinke Fuxiang was the foundation of the Zhao family, and the children of the Zhao family were not serving the Fuxiang, so he couldn't understand Old Man Zhao's decision for a while, and didn't understand why Old Man Zhao was willing to sacrifice the interests of Fuxiang for the sake of Li Hongyu and Zhao Xin.

However, Zhao Deli will not refuse to carry out Old Man Zhao's order because he can't figure it out, with his understanding of Old Man Zhao, Old Man Zhao will definitely not do this for no reason, there must be a hidden secret in it that he doesn't know, but he doesn't want to let him know now.

When he saw Li Hongyu and Zhao Xin witnessing the intimate relationship between the two, Zhao Deli vaguely seemed to understand the intentions of Old Man Zhao, even if Li Hongyu and Zhao Xin could not become husband and wife, they would definitely unite in the officialdom in the future, so that Fuxiang could find a real backer in the imperial court.

It's a pity that Li Hongyu was a little unlucky, and he actually got into a lawsuit before the entrance examination, so that he couldn't enter the Gongyuan to take the exam, so that his hopes were all pinned on Zhao Xin.

However, to Zhao Deli's extreme shock, Zhao Xin actually gave up the examination for Li Hongyu, and broke into the imperial city to beat the Dengwen drum to avenge his grievances.

This made Zhao Deli, who was not the slightest psychological preparation, stunned, and his mind was blank, isn't Zhao Xin afraid of losing his head? How can the drums be beaten so easily?

Fortunately, Emperor Wanli did not cure Zhao Xin of the crime of "disturbing the holy car", but took Zhao Xin's case and ordered the Kaifeng Mansion to try it.

Therefore, of course, Zhao Deli had to come to the lobby to hear the trial to see if Li Hongyu could get away with it, which could involve Zhao Xin's fate.

"Sir, you have to call the shots for us!"

Soon, under the concerned gaze of the people at the scene, Yang and He Yu were taken to the lobby by the servants, kneeling in front of the hall and tearfully accusing Sun Xiang of Li Hongyu's evil behavior of raping Yang and causing Yang to become pregnant.

Especially He Yu, he cried bitterly and kowtowed one after another, knocking blood on his forehead, as if he had a great grievance.

Not only that, there were three little girls between the ages of two and seven in front of the crowd, who seemed to be the daughters of Yang and He Yu, crying while shouting for their parents, if they were not pulled by neighbors, they would definitely run to the court to find Yang, and the immature crying made everyone at the scene sad and the listeners wept, and they invisibly sympathized and had a good impression of Yang and He Yu.

Of course, people's impression of Li Hongyu quickly dropped to the extreme, and in He Yu's accusation, Li Hongyu completely became a womanizer who bullied others.

Zhao Xin looked at the scene in front of her with a frosty mask, with a subtle sneer on the corner of her mouth, in her opinion, He Yu was just a clown jumping off the beam, did he really think that he could frame Li Hongyu with his words alone?

When the Yang family and He Yu finished complaining, their neighbors and the Zheng family, who were working with the Yang family at the time, were successively summoned by Sun Xiang to testify.

According to those neighbors, He Yu left the city for Zhending Mansion at the end of September last year and did not return until the beginning of this month.

Moreover, the neighbors testified that the Yang family adhered to the women's way at home on weekdays, and did not go out of the door, did not attract bees and butterflies, and no one saw anyone having a private meeting with the Yang family.

Regarding the experience in Zhending Mansion, He Yu swore to Sun Xiang that the government could send someone to the place where he worked in Zhending Mansion to check, which could confirm that what he said was true and that he had been working in Zhending Mansion.

Compared with those neighbors, Zheng is not only a witness but also an accuser, accusing Li Hongyu of being ****, and then bribing her with money, she has been swallowing her anger because she is afraid of Li Hongyu's obscenity, but when Yang found her, in order to bring Li Hongyu to justice, she was willing to risk the destruction of her reputation to testify, so as not to have more women from good families being violated in the future.

With the testimony of the witnesses, the outline of the case gradually appeared in front of everyone at the scene, and the people who were hearing the trial outside the hall were talking in private, all thinking that Li Hongyu was a **** womanizer.

After listening to the people's discussions, Zhao Xin did not feel anxious, but a faint smile appeared on his face, which was quite intriguing.

At this moment, no one except her will realize that the more Li Hongyu is proved to be lustful in the court trial, the easier it will be for Li Hongyu to wash away the grievances on his body.

Zhao Deli was different, he didn't know that Li Hongyu had a killer weapon to get out of the case, so his face became more and more gloomy.

To be honest, he didn't believe that Li Hongyu would not even let go of the female workers in his family when he was hungry, how could a rising star like Li Hongyu with great ambitions and unlimited prospects make such a mistake?

Besides, there is no shortage of women around Li Hongyu, and there is no need to bow hard to the two young women overlords who are slightly attractive.

But then again, what is important in the lobby is evidence, and if Li Hongyu can't produce evidence, then his situation will be dangerous.

Of course, if Sun Xiang thinks that He Yu is lying with the Yang family and the Zheng family, and he is punished for it, there is a good chance that the three of them will confess.

But now the case has become a royal case that Emperor Wanli is concerned about, so Sun Xiang will definitely be cautious, and if He Yu, Yang and Zheng retract their confessions afterwards, then he will be charged with a confession.

In this way, it is not easy for Li Hongyu to prove his innocence, it is obvious that the person who framed him this time came prepared, which made Zhao Deli can't help but start worrying about Zhao Xin, if Li Hongyu can't clear his guilt, then Zhao Xin will obviously be affected.

The only good news for Zhao Deli was that the other two young women who were working in the Li Mansion with the Yang and Zheng families at that time were also reported to the court, where they said that they were not harassed by Li Hongyu in the Li Mansion.

But this doesn't mean anything, compared with the Yang family and the Zhang family, the other two young women can be described as mediocre, in the eyes of the people, as long as Li Hongyu is not hungry, he will not fight the idea of the two.

"Chuan Hu Guang Xie Yuan Li Hongyu went to the court." After the young woman testified, Sun Xiang slapped the shocked wood and shouted with an expressionless face.

Sun Xiang has been trying the case for many years, so he naturally knows that Li Hongyu is in a big trouble now, and now that the human and material evidence is complete, it is difficult for Li Hongyu to get out of the case, and there is no way to prove that the child in Yang's womb is not his.

This made the somewhat noisy scene suddenly quiet, and everyone wanted to see how Li Hongyu defended.

Soon, Li Hongyu was taken to the lobby by two messengers, and the people who heard the trial stood on tiptoe and stretched out their heads to look, most of them saw Li Hongyu for the first time.

"I don't know my heart!" Seeing that Li Hongyu was young and gentle, many people secretly shook their heads and sighed, who would have thought that Li Hongyu, who was harmless to humans and animals, would do such a thing that was inferior to animals.

"The students meet Lord Fu Yin." When Li Hongyu entered the lobby, he glanced at Zhao Xin quietly, and saw Zhao Xin bowing slightly to him, and a subtle smile flashed at the corner of his mouth, and he strode to the front of the hall and bowed to Sun Xiang.

"Li Jieyuan, do you know the Yang family and the Zheng family?" Sun Xiang saw that Li Hongyu was polite, and he couldn't help but feel pity in his heart, and asked quietly.

Speaking of which, Sun Xiang is on Li Hongyu's side, and Zhao Xin is from Shanxi, as soon as he came to the capital, he followed Lin Liang and other Shanxi natives to visit several members of the Qi Party, including Sun Xiang.

Among these moves in the north, Sun Xiang is the most optimistic about Zhao Xin, Zhao Xin not only unexpectedly seized the Yayuan of Huguang Township, but also mobilized Huguang's students in Wuchang City to support Li Hongyu, who was arrested in Wuchangwei, and with Li Hongyu, in just five days, he found out the murder case in Qingyuan County, Taiyuan Prefecture, and is undoubtedly the best rising star among all the northern movers.

Although Zhao Xin is Huguang's son, she is an out-and-out Shanxi person, Tong Xian has been staying in the north before, so Sun Xiang naturally regards it as a son of the north, if it can be drawn from the Chu Party or the Donglin Party to the Qi Party, then the development of the Qi Party can be of great benefit.

In view of the close relationship between Zhao Xin and Li Hongyu, Sun Xiang is of course looking towards Li Hongyu in his heart, but judging from the current situation, it is not easy for Li Hongyu to get out of it.

"Back to the house, Lord Yin, the two of them went to the student's house to do needlework last year, and the student has a relationship with them." After listening to Sun Xiang's questioning, Li Hongyu glanced at the Yang and Zheng families who were kneeling there, and replied in an orderly manner.

"The Yang family and the Zheng family sued you for being **** and bought them afterwards, can you admit it?" Hearing this, Sun Xiang waved his hand expressionlessly to the errand officer holding a tray in both hands on the side of the hall, and said in a deep voice, "Look at it, you can see if you can deny the object on it." ”

Hearing this, the errand officer stepped forward quickly, and brought the tray in his hand to Li Hongyu, on which were placed a bracelet and a pair of gold earrings.

Li Hongyu's brows couldn't help frowning slightly, he had already recognized them, these two items were the bribes that the Yang family and the Zheng family framed him to buy them, he had seen them in the county government of Daxing County before, and it seemed that these two items had become a major evidence against him.
