Chapter XXIV: Questioning the case

Ye Zhao had just returned to the county government, and he saw that the rich people who had been invited to the banquet had already arrived, and there were still many faces, but just looking at the clothes and temperament, he knew that these people were also rich people in the city, and there were countless people in the city who were crowded in front of the door, and it seemed that it was more lively than the festival.

"Why are you all here?" Lined up the crowd and asked as he returned the salute to a few familiar faces who came over.

"Envoy, this Li Yongzong is at fault, but after all, he has done a lot of good deeds for my Suiyang, and it is a bit insulting for you to arrest him directly like this." An old man stepped forward and said to Ye Zhao.

"This is ......" Ye Zhao looked at this person suspiciously and asked with a smile.

"Envoy, this is the Zhang family's advocacy, and he once served as the Taishou of Panyang." Master Qian hurriedly stepped forward and explained in a low voice.

"It turned out to be Zhang Gong." Ye Zhao's face was solemn, and he clasped his fist at Zhang Yu and said: "Since Zhang Gong has also been an official, we should know that what we do should be in line with the order and law of the court, and Ye Mou doesn't want to make a big deal about it, but this bad guy is innocent and robs the people's daughters, which is already a blatant violation of the law of our dynasty. ”

"I see." Zhang Yu nodded, and was quite satisfied with Ye Zhao's attitude: "There is no famous person who can be pardoned for breaking the law in my court, but after all, Li Yong is a Suiyang Wang clan and is quite famous, so please make Jun Mo misjudge." ”

"Ye naturally knows this, thank you Zhang Gong for your advice." Ye Zhao smiled.

"After all, the envoy is young, so I hope that these people can sit in on it, so as not to make the gentleman be deceived by the gangsters." Zhang Yu smiled.

Ye Zhao frowned, stretched out his hand to stop Guan Hai and the others who wanted to have a seizure, and nodded: "Gong Zhang is willing to advise, Ye can't ask for it, please." ”

Wang Xing and Jiang Sheng had already taken more than a dozen county guards to stand on both sides of the court, Qiu Chi stood beside Ye Zhao, and Guan Hai and the others could only stand on both sides to act as county officials at this moment because they had no positions.

"The matter of Dian Wei will be tried later, and the Liu family and Li Yong will be brought to the court first." Ye Zhao looked at the gentry standing on both sides and sighed, it was originally a very simple case, but at this moment, because of the mixing of these people, it became complicated.

"Whoa!" Someone immediately brought Liu and Li Yong to court.

"Liu's family, Li Yong is a Suiyang wang clan, this matter has alarmed these celebrities in Suiyang, you will say what happened to you again, Li Yong is here, confronting each other in the hall, you can rest assured, there are so many respected celebrities here, if what you say is true, this official and all celebrities will uphold justice for you." Ye Zhao sighed, revealing the scars, he was really unwilling to do it for a woman who was already miserable, but now he had to bring up this tragic matter again.

"Yes, envoy." After a moment of silence, Liu's hoarse voice slowly recounted the nightmare that had happened three days ago.

"Shameless thief, I'm going to kill you!" Dian Wei stared at Li Yong with red eyes, a violent aura erupted all over his body, and the chains that bound his body creaked, as if they might collapse at any time, Guan Hai and the others who watched were shocked, and hurriedly stepped forward to hold Dian Wei down.

Liu also just discovered Dian Wei, and his eyes couldn't help but turn red: "Brother Dian, why are you here?" ”

"After I returned to the city, I heard about you, so I came non-stop, who knew that it was still a step too late, I wanted to kill Li Yong, the villain, but who knew that I was stopped by this dog official and calculated by him!" In the end, Dian Wei blushed a little, after all, he thought that he was brave and invincible, but who knew that he was deceived by Ye Zhao in a few words, and he was captured without moving his hand, which made him very uncomfortable.

"Brother Dian, you shouldn't have come." Liu, who has never shed a single tear even when he encountered the most painful things, couldn't help crying when he saw Dian Wei, who was tied up by five flowers.

Ye Zhao glanced at the two of them with interest, patted the table and said, "Okay, if you talk about the old days, we'll talk about it later, Master Li, how do you explain this matter?" ”

"Oh, why explain? The prince wanted to listen to this shameless woman's deception, and it was clear that she saw that I had some family wealth and was greedy for wealth, and she seduced me, and when she saw that I was not moved, the wicked person sued first. Li Yong said with a sneer.

"Shame on you!" Liu went crazy and pounced on Li Yong, but was held down by Wang Xing and others.

"Let her go!" Dian Wei, who had just calmed down, also became angry again, struggling angrily.

Li Yong thought to himself that there were so many Suiyang gentry present, his heart was stable, and his confidence was enough, and he looked at Ye Zhao proudly and said: "Ye County's time as an official is still short, I don't know that this person has a sinister heart. ”

"This is also your side of the word, above the court, the emphasis is on evidence, if the owner of Li Zhuang can come up with enough convincing evidence, Ye should enforce the law impartially, if it is just the two of you who insist on their own words, in order to avoid misjudgment, this official can only take the two of you into custody and slowly investigate the case." Ye Zhao said with a smile.

"Evidence?" Li Yong's heart moved, and he looked at Ye Zhao and said, "Does a human witness count?" ”

"Envoy, this Li Yong is a big family in Suiyang, and the people he found will naturally help him speak." Liu said urgently.

"That's right!" Ye Zhao nodded, thought for a while, and said, "Liu, you said that you were taken captive to the Li Mansion, did you remember some specific things?" ”

"Envoy, you are a little biased, this woman has been stalking me in order to tempt me, naturally she has been to my house, and besides, in order to avoid suspicion, I went out to visit friends that night?" Li Yong turned his head to look around and said, "Brother Zhou, Brother Zheng and Brother Shen, I went to drink with you that night, and you have to testify for me!" ”

The three people who were ordered by Li Yong were stunned when they heard this, and when they saw that Li Yong kept glancing at them, they could only secretly scold Li Yong for being troublesome, but they were also wealthy gentry in the same place, and they also had dealings, since Li Yong asked for help, they could only bite the bullet and come out and say: "Yes, we can indeed testify for Brother Li." ”

"According to my Han law, perjury is guilty of cover-up, can the three of you think clearly?" Ye Zhao looked at the trio.

"Envoy, we have nothing to say." The three of them are rushing ducks to the shelves at the moment, and they can only bite the bullet.

Ye Zhao looked at Li Yongdao with a smile: "Master Li, if it turns out that the three of them have committed perjury, it will not be good for you." ”

"Rest assured!" Seeing that the three of them were helping him, Li Yong felt that he had the chance to win, and his attitude became even more wild: "What do I Li Yong say, I am also a character in Suiyang City, how could I lie to you?" ”

"Then I'll be relieved." An inexplicable smile flashed on Ye Zhao's face.
