Chapter 16 Avenging the Father
Time is like an arrow, the sun and the moon are like a shuttle, with a flick of his fingers, the time of three days is fleeting, on the morning of the ninth day of the sixth month, Shen Tingyu said goodbye to his mother, and walked quickly towards the county office, at this time he has made up his mind in his heart, today he will return his father's innocence!
Shen Tingyu didn't take much time to come to the county office, at this time, in the county office, outside the public court, there were already a crowd of onlookers, and when people saw Shen Tingyu coming, they gave way one after another. After Shen Tingyu walked into the county office, the people around him began to discuss.
"Son judge father, today's case must be interesting."
Ahh Won't the father kneel down to his son? This is going to be struck by lightning!" Another member of the crowd said.
"What do you know, sitting on the official chair represents the imperial court, Shen Wanchuan is kneeling for the imperial court, and where is kneeling for his son."
"Oh, I see, that's a lot of knowledge."
......
Shen Tingzi slowly walked into the big room, only to see that Lord Yu was already sitting on the side, and behind him stood the county commander, Zhang Zhihong, Han Yuanjiang and others, and those people with heads and faces in Qi County, basically all of them had gathered.
"Meet Lord Yu, Lord Prefectural, I've seen you." Shen Tingyu walked up slowly and made a gesture.
"Get up, the people you asked this official to arrest a few days ago have all been arrested and detained, and today you are still allowed to be promoted to the court for trial, don't let this official down." Yu Tong said.
"Yes, Lord Yu."
Syllable! Shen Tingyu sat on the official chair again, slapped his hand in shock, and shouted: "Ascend!" .
"Mighty ......," the officials below shouted in unison.
After ascending to the court, he was going to bring out the criminal, but this person was Shen Tingyu's father, which made Shen Tingyu a little difficult for a while, Yu Tongxu saw Shen Tingyu's difficulty, so he glanced at him with a smile, and shouted to the officer: "Take Shen Wanchuan into the hall." ”
Shen Tingyu looked at his haggard father and staggered towards the lobby, Shen Tingyu hurriedly walked down the hall to support him, and said: "Father has suffered, the child must return his father's innocence today." ”
Shen Wanchuan glanced at him seriously, and said with relief: "Today, my son is promoted to the court, and I am happy for my father and you, although you and I are father and son, we can't break the rules of the court." Grass Folk ......"
Saying that Shen Wanchuan was about to kneel, Shen Tingyu hurriedly helped him to stop him, and said, "Father, you must not." ”
At this time, Yu Tong, who was sitting on the side, spoke: "Shen Wanchuan, you can just stand and answer, you don't have to kneel."
Then, Yu Tong looked at Shen Tingzi again, and instructed: "Shen Tingzi, you only need to be responsible for concentrating on the trial of the case, if the official notices that you have a trace of cover-up, the official will not spare you!"
"Thank you, sir, I will definitely not bend the law for personal gain."
Shen Tingyu returned to his position, he first asked his father to tell his grievances in detail, and then asked his father to go aside to rest.
Syllable! Shen Tingyu slapped the shocked wood and shouted, "Lead someone to commit Li Wen!"
Li Wen only thought that he was called by the county order, and he looked disapproving.
"Li Wen, are you guilty?"
Li Wen stood confidently, without kneeling at all, but said loudly to Shen Tingzi: "Shen Gongzi, I really don't know where I offended Shen Gongzi. ”
Shen Tingyu felt very annoyed when he saw Li Wen's appearance that he didn't take him seriously at all, and scolded angrily: "Li Wen! Don't think that you can be unscrupulous with your uncle's support, let alone you, even your cousin doesn't dare to be presumptuous in front of adults. ”
At this time, Li Wen found the person sitting on the side, and even the county magistrate could only stand behind him, so he looked at Yu Tong with some fear, and asked weakly, "You...... Are you?"
"This is Lord Yu Tongyu appointed by the emperor to inspect the Qingzhou area, a member of the imperial court." The prefectural order introduced.
After hearing this, even Shen Tingyu's heart was shocked, he also thought that Lord Yu must be in a high position, but he didn't expect that he was actually a member of the imperial court, but he was actually sent to inspect, thinking that Lord Yu should have been excluded in the court, after all, he was a Han Chinese, and Emperor Taiping had always only favored the ministers of the barbarians.
Li Wen, who was on the side, was even more frightened when he heard Yu Tong's identity, and immediately knelt down, kowtowed like garlic, and said: "It's all villains who don't know Mount Tai with eyes, please atone for your sins." ”
"Now that I am Lord Yu's guest, you are disrespectful to me, that is, disrespectful to adults, come on! Let's hit this Li Wen again on the top ten boards. Shen Tingyu ordered.
Hearing this, Yu Tong glanced at Shen Tingyu with interest, and secretly said in his heart, this son is not simple.
After playing the top ten boards, Li Wen was much more honest, knelt down obediently, and stopped talking.
"Li Wen, how does this board taste?"
"Lord Shen, they are all small and have no beads, please forgive me Lord Shen......" Li Wen begged for mercy, he never wanted to taste the taste of that board again.
"I can tell you that there are torture tools that taste much better than the board, and I have a lot of them here, now you can tell the truth about framing Shen Wanchuan, so as not to suffer from the flesh and skin again."
"Adult, the little one will admit punishment if he is wrong, but this is a false accusation against others, and the little one really hasn't done it, my lord! Of course, if the adults insist on the small ones admitting it, the little ones don't dare to deny it, it's all the villains who don't know Mount Tai and report Lord Shen's father, it's the little ones who are nosy, and they ask the adults to punish them. Li Wen said.
Yu Tong smiled when he listened to Li Wen's defense, there was a saying that the trial case was to avoid suspicion, but this case was more special, and Yu Tong believed in Shen Tingyu, so he let Shen Tingyu try the case, and Li Wen obviously wanted to grasp this point.
"You...... Good! Good for you, Li Wen! I'm going to convince you today. Shen Tingyu said angrily.
Smack!" With a witness, Huang Butler. ”
As soon as this person arrived in the lobby, Li Wen was shocked.
"Li Wen, do you recognize this person?"
"Back to the adult, I recognize, it's the villain's housekeeper."
Then Shen Tingzi looked at Steward Huang and said, "Steward Huang, tell me everything you know." ”
"Yes, sir."
Steward Huang is the person that Liu Shen asked Shen Tingyu to visit that day, Steward Huang seems to have a special relationship with Liu Shen, even if he betrays Li Wen under the pressure of being assassinated, he will not hesitate at all.
"The villain has been the housekeeper of the Li family for seven years, and Li Wen's actions, all the small ones are recorded, please take a look." As he spoke, Steward Huang took out a booklet and handed it to the servant on the side.
The official handed the booklet to Shen Tingyu, Shen Tingyu actually knew the contents of it for a long time, he pretended to read it carefully, and handed the booklet to Lord Yu.
"Li Wen, can you plead guilty?" Shen Tingyu said.
"Returning to my lord, this person must have been instructed by others to frame the villain! The pamphlet is only one side of his story, not enough proof, my lord!" Li Wen still refused to admit his guilt.
Shen Tingyu looked at Steward Huang and asked, "Mr. Huang, do you have any other evidence?"
"Originally, there were several account books, but I didn't want to be taken by Li Wen's concubine Wang Hong. And that Wang Hong has long been missing, and I think he has been killed by Li Wen. ”
"Steward Huang, you baseless person, don't want to spew blood, be careful that I accuse you of slander." Li Wen argued.
Steward Huang ignored him and continued to say to Shen Tingyu: "What the villain said is true, and I hope that the adults will see it." ”
"Mr. Huang, go and rest."
Smack!" With a person's card, Mr. Zhou. ”
