In the hall, the two sides are tense, and they are already incompatible.

The defendant Li Qian, in a fit of anger, confronted the presiding judge and called him by his name, this scene really made everyone present drop their jaws------ looking at the whole of Zhejiang, I am afraid that no Jinshi dared to collide with the chief judge in court like him. What kind of courage should this young jinshi have to put on this posture of going to the end with Lord Zhentai?

In the blink of an eye, a big drama of the court trial suddenly evolved into a drama between the two, and everyone in the hall did not dare to come out, so they could only watch them compete with each other.

"Then you can try." Li Qian stared straight at Tao Sheng, with an arrogant expression, like a hob meat style of 'what can you do with me'.

"Presumptuous! In the public court, how can you be allowed to run rampant as a person who has no king's law? "Tao Sheng was also really angry this time, and the shocking wood was not heavy, but the words he said were slightly insufficient, and there was a bit of a taste of lust and guilt." Is it true that this constitution is full of decorations? ”

"Your Excellency, do you want to torture you?" Li Qian was not afraid, and once again spoke against him.

“------”

Tao Sheng was silent, not that he didn't want to torture Li Qian, but that this punishment couldn't be used at all, and the ------ Dynasty gave preferential treatment to scholars with meritorious reputations.

However, the two Jinshi are all qualified to be officials, and they are not under the control of the Provincial Constitution at all. Sensei said that it was a jinshi, even those who had half of the official body, and the academic and political yamen had no right to remove their fame.

What's even more tricky is that Li Qian has only been back to his hometown for only a few months, and he has already become famous, and he has raised a lot of fame in Shilin------ even if he has been splashed with sewage by the Zhao family, and has been criticized by many scholars because of this lawsuit, but there are definitely not a few scholars who have questioned this and then spoken out to defend him.

Who made him defeat the Jiangxi literati with a poem and earn back face for Zhejiang Shilin?

Therefore, even if his crime was really confirmed, Tao Sheng would not dare to torture him easily. In that case, it will undoubtedly anger the entire Zhejiang Shilin, and then protest en masse------

If you can't punish a doctor, it's not just a matter of talking, and only today does you have the power of a doctor with a cane!

After pondering for a moment, he slapped it again and said, "Li Qian, this official will ask you again, do you admit or not the crimes accused of you by the Zhang brothers in Taoli Village?" ”

"Don't admit it!" Li Qian's answer was concise and to the point, and even those superfluous words were omitted, and he and this Zhentai had nothing to say.

Tao Sheng said sharply: "Stubborn! Now that the human and material evidence is there, what else do you have to say? ”

The corners of Li Qian's mouth hooked up a faint smile, and his tone was not without sarcasm: "There are a lot of things I can say, and I also have the heart to defend myself, but I don't know if Lord Zhentai is willing to listen to it?" ”

"Say!" Tao Sheng patted it and said: "The evidence is ironclad, it depends on how you quibble!" ”

"Heh," Li Qian sneered, before he could say it, he had already defined it as a quibble in advance, and the methods of these magistrates in judging cases were really 'clever'.

"Then let's start with the good for the cheap." Clearing his throat, Li Qian asked, "I don't know if you remember, I once said that there is more than one deed?" ”

Tao Sheng thought for a moment when he heard this, and then just nodded slightly, admitting what he had just said.

"Then the question is, how many copies of this deed are there?"

Li Qian sold him a pass, and then slowly reached into his arms, took out the two deeds that were packed in the placket in advance, and presented them with both hands: "In fact, there are three copies in total!" Adults have to see clearly, this is not a righteous daughter in the deed of sale, but a house witnessed by the patriarch of the Zhang clan in Taoli Village as the adopted daughter of the Li family, one of which is set up by the head of the Zhang family himself, and the other is the deed of the father agreeing to accept the stupid girl as an adopted daughter. ”

Wow------

The hall was in an uproar, and no one would have thought that Li Qian would deliberately keep such a hand------ and Tao Sheng was only slightly surprised by this, and then regained his original calm look.

In fact, he had long seen that this person was cunning and treacherous, so he did not fully believe Li Qian's words that day.

It is precisely because of this that he privately confessed to the stable woman, asking her to say that the stupid girl has broken her body no matter what the results of the inspection are------ such a false accusation is not clever enough, but he didn't intend to really convict Li Qian, he just wanted to deceive him.

Of course, he really didn't expect that Li Qian actually adopted an adopted sister, instead of adopting servants in a simple form of buying and selling righteous men and women like ordinary big families.

To put it simply, Li Qian's procedures are very sound, not only with his father's written approval, but also with the authoritative witness of the woman's patriarch, and at the same time, he stamped the official seal in the yamen room, making it easier to make a household registration------

In this way, Li Qian is indeed not a good one.

You must know that in this era, it is not only necessary to talk about the law of the country, but also the law of the clan also has its authority. In many cases, even if the head of a clan lynched a person who violated the rules of the clan, it was difficult for the local government to intervene. Otherwise, there would be no practice of dipping a woman who commits adultery into a pig pen.

In fact, in the Ming Dynasty, women who committed adultery were not guilty of death. There are clear provisions in the "Da Ming Law" for this article, where and 1 adulterer, the rod is eighty. There is a husband and a rod of ninety. Rape and a hundred rods------ and the rapist shall not sit on the woman.

Therefore, the patriarch of a clan can indeed decide whether the women in the clan will stay, and the Zhang brothers have indeed made a written deed with their own hands, even if they keep saying that this is Li Qian's persecution, it will no longer work at this time------ unless, Tao Sheng can once again prove that the patriarch of the Zhang clan was also coerced by Li Qian.

The problem is, he is not a clever and god-like Zhuge Wuhou, how could he have calculated that Li Qian would have such a move?

"How? Don't you think that these two deeds were also forged by me? Li Qian's eyes were full of smiles, teased him, and then said with a straight face: "After talking about the first one, let's talk about the second one!" ”

"First of all, I would like to ask Lord Zhentai, how can I prove that what Wen Po said is all true, and that she was not bribed or coerced by others to give false testimony in court?" Li Qian looked at Tao Sheng meaningfully, narrowed his eyes slightly, and said: "Besides, even if the stupid girl is really not a virgin, how can adults prove that this must be done by me Li!" Not? ”

"Presumptuous! Are you accusing this constitution of not distinguishing between right and wrong and reversing black and white? ”

"How dare you ------" Li Qian smiled and arched his hand: "Adults are discerning, and the mirror is hanging high, how can ordinary young people be easily deceived?" ”

Li Qian's words seemed to be flattering, but Tao Sheng could hear that he had something in his words, clearly praising himself for being like a mirror, but in fact he was sarcastically saying that he was the mastermind behind the self-deception.

Suppressing the anger in his heart, Tao Sheng said in a deep voice: "Your self-defense seems to be justified, but in fact it is all empty words, neither can you prove your innocence, nor can you prove that Wen Po is framing you------" said in a loud voice: "So, can this constitution think that you are falsely accusing witnesses?!! ”

"Oh, my lord wants to think so, and I have nothing to say below."

Li Qianxin said that this was a small crime, and when he shook his head and smiled: "However, before that, can I propose ------" After a pause, Li Qian's eyes were slightly condensed, and he looked at Tao Sheng and said word by word: "Temporarily find three more stable women to verify whether the stupid girl has been broken?" ”

When the words fell, Tao Sheng's pupils instantly dilated, looking at Li Qian's face full of disbelief.

Yes, it wasn't until this moment that he understood why Li Qian was so determined. All the performances he performed in front of him that day, everything now, it seems that he is digging a hole for himself in reverse------

What a big pit!

What words are unknown, words dodgy, dare not answer directly, people only think that he is a manifestation of weakness, and then subconsciously believe that this is the truth.

But the real fact is that he, Li Qian, has never touched that little girl at all!

This is very troublesome, because Tao Sheng is also worried that there will be a situation that he can't fully control, so he didn't dare to instruct Wen Po, telling her that if she finds that the other party is perfect, she will use the sharp object to break the little girl's body------ time is too short to naturally recover quickly, and then someone who has a heart only needs to take a look, and can see what happened to the stupid girl.

If he really wants to act like that, Li Qian is not a fool, once he proposes in public to find other stable women to check, the matter will inevitably be exposed.

However, he has been sitting high in the court, how can he have the opportunity to communicate with Wen Po, naturally he does not know whether Zhang's young daughter has been broken by Li Qian------ at that time, in his opinion, this is not important, anyway, Wen Po's testimony must be according to his own meaning.

But the current situation is that it is known as soon as the truth is checked, no matter whether he has let people do anything in this matter, it is difficult to escape the inspection of many stable women.

Tao Sheng absolutely believed that as long as he agreed to Li Qian's proposal, he would immediately try to find a reliable woman to supervise the inspection of the stable women on the spot, and would never give himself the opportunity to cheat again.

And his proposal is actually reasonable.

Unconsciously, the situation has changed dramatically, and Tao Sheng found that he was the presiding judge, who had accidentally fallen into a deep passive position------

Coughing lightly, Tao Sheng regained his composure and said: "There is nothing wrong with your proposal, but it is getting late today, and the case will be postponed for retrial and withdrawn!" ”

Li Qian just sneered at his back as he left in a hurry, and said in his heart that your ability to open your eyes and tell nonsense is really not small, and it is not yet noon, so you are embarrassed to say that it is late?

With a wave of his robe sleeves and a glance at the two Zhang brothers on the side, Li Qian turned around and left.

Just as he was about to pick up the silly girl, he caught up with a small official behind him, saying that Daxian had invited him to meet at the back office.
