Chapter 119: Human and Physical Evidence
Just when Xu Xian and the local gentry were a little incompatible, and even the two sides might fight, at this time, in the space of dozens of meters in the high altitude of the courtyard, Bai Suzhen and Xiaoqing were suspended in mid-air, looking at what was happening below.
"Sister, I think my brother-in-law may be in trouble now, these people in the place are not easy to mess with, if my brother-in-law can't deal with it, should we do it now?" Xiaoqing asked nervously.
Bai Suzhen glanced at her sister and thought, "Qing'er, this girl, when did she care so much about officials?" ”
She didn't know the relationship between Xiaoqing and Xu Xian, so she said in an ordinary tone: "The official's ability is the highest among the human men I have ever seen, his talent and insight are really admirable, this is the wisdom of human beings, you have to have confidence in your brother-in-law!" ”
Xiaoqing shook her head and said, "Sister, it's not that I said frustrating words, it's really ...... These people are too domineering. ”
"No matter how domineering we are, we can't just make a move, this is disrespectful to your brother-in-law!" Bai Suzhen said very seriously, "Unless your brother-in-law is in danger, then we have to take action, otherwise we just have to wait here, believe it or not, your brother-in-law will definitely be able to resolve the current predicament?" ”
"Oh." Xiaoqing answered, but seemed to have other thoughts in her heart.
Bai Suzhen said angrily: "We were not human beings before, and we may not be able to understand human thoughts and ideas, just watch it, and remember what we see in our hearts, which can be regarded as an understanding of human character, which will be very helpful for you to be a person in the future!" ”
"Got it, sister!" Xiaoqing looked a little impatient and said, "You always say that I don't have the potential to be a human being, but in fact, I already know how to be a human being!" ”
……
……
In the courtyard, the two sides are still tense.
Xu Xian was very calm, he was in charge of the Lu family's courtyard, even if Zhu Xing and the others were magnificent, they didn't dare to take a step beyond Lei Chi.
“…… Bring someone to commit it! ”
With Xu Xian's order, Huang Chong escorted the people of the Lu family up, headed by Lu Haokun, the head of the Lu family, and the Lu family was escorted up at the same time, as well as the Lu man in the house, as well as the guards and male servants in the house, there were more than 40 people listed at one time.
Huang Chong shouted: "Kneel! ”
The people of the Lu family, except for Lu Haokun, all hurriedly knelt down, in the end it was the magistrate in front of them, and they didn't dare to slack off.
And Lu Haokun looked very stubborn, standing there and shouting: "The old man sits upright, he is worthy of the sky, he can afford the thick soil, he has never been guilty today, why did the county magistrate bring someone to my mansion?" Don't give the old man an explanation, the old man doesn't kneel! ”
Perhaps because of the support of Zhu Xing, Bai Qiyuan and others next to him, Lu Haokun spoke a lot harder, and he seemed to be really not afraid of being directly executed by Xu Xian.
Lu Haokun said in his heart: "No matter how powerful you know the county, you also know that there are hundreds of soldiers brought by the local gentry outside, do you dare to come casually?" ”
Huang Chong walked up and pressed Lu Haokun directly, Huang Chong said: "If you don't know each other, isn't it natural for the people to kneel down when they see the officials?" Regardless of it, you are still condemned by adults! ”
Lu Haokun was physically exhausted and couldn't withstand Huang Chong's strength at all, so he finally knelt down, and Bai Qiyuan said: "Xu Zhixian, you'd better make it clear that the head of the Lu family is a sinner?" What exactly is the sin? ”
The people present were all looking at Xu Xian, and even the people from the Zhixian Yamen brought by Xu Xian were also looking at him.
Now the scene is big, the local gentry family is obviously impossible to give up, unless Xu Xian has a reasonable reason, otherwise a bloody battle is possible, Xu Xian brought people are okay to say, but those who are themselves local officials and officers and soldiers in Yanshan County will not be so united with Xu Xian.
"Bang!" Xu Xian was shocked and said, "This official convicts you of the crime, it seems that you are still a little unconvinced, then the official will make it clear to you!" Come on, escort Lu Shaotong, the housekeeper of the Lu family, up! ”
When Xu Xian said the name of the Lu family's housekeeper, Lu Haokun was a little surprised, he didn't expect Xu Xian to be able to grasp the situation of the Lu family clearly before he came.
Lu Haokun was about to speak out to stop Xu Xian, but seeing that Huang Chong and the others had already killed, he directly "carried" out a man about forty years old who looked obscene in the back, and the man was kicked by Huang Chong on the crook of the leg, and the man knelt down directly.
Huang Chong shouted: "The adults are looking for Lu Shaotong, but you? ”
The man kowtowed and said: "If you go back to the adult, it is the villain, the villain is Lu Shaotong, the housekeeper of the Lu Mansion, but I don't know how the adult knows the villain's cheap name?" The villain has never done anything to commit adultery, and the adult catches the villain like this, the villain really doesn't know what the adult means! ”
Bai Qiyuan also wanted to step forward to question Xu Xian, but was stopped by Zhu Xing.
Zhu Xing is an old fox in the end, he can see that Xu Xian is prepared, and now he goes up to question Xu Xian, it will be a bit humiliating.
Xu Xian said angrily: "Bold hairy thief, still refusing to admit it? Let me ask you, have you ever been out of the city in the past few days, or even met with local bandits? ”
"Huh?" When Xu Xian's words fell, everyone present was surprised.
Lu Shaotong obviously didn't expect Xu Xian to ask this question, he quickly kowtowed and said: "My lord, you can't wronged a good person, the villain has never been out of the city, and besides, the gate of this city is closed, how can the villain get out of the city?" ”
Xu Xian said: "It seems that if I don't give you some color, you don't know what to do...... The official could have tortured you, but the official will convince you now, come and bring the witnesses out! ”
This time, everyone's eyes were looking around, they wanted to see what witnesses came out, and after a while, from behind the crowd, two men in their twenties were brought out by the officers and soldiers, and these two men also knelt down and kept kowtowing to Xu Xian.
One of the tall men said: "Lord Zhixian, this is this person, this person went out of the tunnel dug by the villain before doing business, and the villain is also a ghost for a while, and please let the villain live!" ”
The faces of the people present, especially those from the major families, were the most ugly.
It is not a big secret that there are secret passages in the city to get out of the city, and even the rest of the families have sent people out.
Huang Chong took out some things from behind and threw them in front of Lu Shaotong.
Xu Xian said: "Here is the evidence that has just been found out of your room, including the letters you used to collude with the thieves, as well as the contract made by the two parties, with the Lu Mansion giving one hundred and fifty taels of silver to the people of Heifeng Village every year, in exchange for the support of the Black Wind Village for the Lu family, and even the people of Heifeng Village can enter the city through your Lu family...... This is evidence of private exchange with thieves, and now that the human and material evidence is complete, what else do you have to deny? ”
"The villain hasn't done it, he hasn't done it!" In front of the evidence, Lu Shaotong still seemed to be dead and refused to admit it, and his whole face was like ashes.
