Chapter 604: Sudden Change
In terms of form, there is one thing that is the same in ancient and modern times, that is, it is divided into open trials and non-public trials. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Yesterday's trial in the county yali was a public trial, and the people could be allowed to watch, but today, Yu Wenbin did not issue this order, that is, idlers were not allowed to enter the yamen to hear the trial. And whether it was hundreds of years ago or hundreds of years later, no outsiders were naturally allowed to enter at will during this kind of court trial.
But today, when Lin County Commander was about to make the final verdict, a few people were like no one around, ignoring the rules and laws and swaggering into the lobby, and interrupting the words of the county magistrate.
But this time, all the officials of Huating County present did not have the slightest look of surprise and annoyance. No, to put it mildly, they were still quite surprised, because it was too unimaginable for the forty-year-old man who had striding in first to suddenly come to the county office, and it was too self-defeating.
Because the person who came first and opened his mouth to stop Lin Zhixian's final judgment was the third master of the Xu family, Xu Ying, who is now the real master of the house. Although he was only dressed in the most ordinary royal blue silk robe, the momentum he exuded was far greater than that of the county magistrate in the hall, so that even if he wanted to, he couldn't attack.
When Yu Wenbin's gaze met Xu Ying's eyes, he was stunned, and the rebuke that had just reached his mouth was held in his throat and couldn't come out. Although he hadn't dealt with Xu Sanye before—how could he be able to afford this master as his status as a little Qipin county commander? - But only from his demeanor and demeanor, as well as the two chief stewards of the Xu family, Xu Ligong and Xu Lide, who obediently followed him, can know his identity.
Even the madman county order was suppressed by the momentum of the other party, and the people in the other county offices naturally didn't dare to have any ideas, it seemed that when Xu Ying appeared, everything here was under his control.
No, in fact, it's not that no one in the hall can compete with it, when everyone has the heart to retreat, only one person squints his eyes and looks at Xu Ying carefully, as if a glutton is looking at a delicacy, and a master is looking at another master, his eyes are full of playfulness. This person is naturally Yang Zhen.
Being looked at by Yang Zhen's gaze like this, Xu Ying's heart was also shocked, and she quickly turned her eyes to see that the other party was smiling at herself, but this smile also made people feel chills in their hearts.
"He is Yang Zhen, the appeasement of Jinyiwei, right?" Xu Ying quickly made a judgment, and her heart was even more apprehensive. Whether it was the news about Yang Zhen from the capital before, or what happened in Hangzhou and Yangzhou not long ago, it made him clearly realize that the young man in front of him was by no means an ordinary opponent, and he must not take it lightly.
With this scruple, Xu Ying did not attack on the spot, and directly suppressed people with momentum, but just bowed his hand to Wen Bin: "I have seen the county lord in Xia, Xu Ying." "This is already enough to give the other party, even the prefect of Songjiang and Xu Sanye have never been so polite.
Yu Wenbin didn't have the slightest joy in his heart at the moment, but was very annoyed. As soon as Xu Ying came in just now, he completely suppressed himself from the momentum, which made him suddenly realize that the gap between himself and the Xu family was so big, and his previous thoughts were too wishful thinking. Once the other party really comes forward, he will not be able to compete with him at all.
But even so, in the face of Xu Ying, he couldn't help it, so he could only snort: "Xu Ying, the county is trying the case, why did you suddenly run to the court?" ”
Xu Ying's eyes flashed, over the years, there are too few people who dare to call him by his name, even if the governor comes, he has to call him Xu Sanye or call him Yunqing, this crazy county magistrate is really too bold.
However, because Yang Zhen was by his side, he could only endure it for the time being, but the smile on his face was slightly narrowed, and he said: "I am here, naturally, it is also for this case." As soon as he spoke, his eyes fell, and he fell on Xu Chang and the Deng family brothers beside him, and in just a glance, the bodies of the three of them trembled violently, and they obviously felt great pressure.
What is called a person who has been in the top position for a long time must have his momentum, Xu Ying shows this very well. Just one glance can make ordinary people tremble and break out in a cold sweat.
Seeing him speak like this, Lu Wenbin's heart chuckled, knowing that the case was going to be repeated again. I didn't expect the Xu family to react so quickly, and so decisively, that even the third master personally stepped out.
In fact, Xu Ying was forced to come forward in person out of desperation, with his identity, if he really had no choice, it would be impossible to come to the door of such a county office.
Although the corresponding arrangements had been made yesterday, after a night of deep thought, Xu Ying still changed her mind. The county government dared to put its own steward Xu Chang in prison openly, which showed that the other party was determined to fight to the end with the Xu family. Whether it was for the sake of her own reputation, or worried that Xu Chang would be too passive in their hands, Xu Ying finally decided to come forward to fight against the county government in person.
And as things stand, his decision was quite wise. If it weren't for his timely appearance, this case might have been decided, and the Xu family might be in trouble next. Only the identity of Xu Sanye can easily appear in the lobby of the trial, and speak out in time to stop the final judgment, without worrying about being obstructed.
Although his heart was tight, but now there is no other way for Yu Wenbin to retreat, so he can only face him, then look at the other party and say, "I don't know if you have anything else to say about this case?" This official has asked clearly, that is, your Xu family took advantage of the fire to rob and forcibly bought the land of the Deng family at a very low price, can there be any problems? ”
"Rubbish!" Glancing at Xu Chang very dissatisfied, and after scolding in her heart, Xu Ying said lightly: "Really? As the person in charge of the Xu family, why don't I know about this? This is clearly a false accusation made by the two brothers of the Deng family against my Xu family! ”
"Did you judge the case casually? This case does not only rely on their one-sided words, there are also these documents that can be used as evidence, and the human and material evidence is complete......" Yi Wenbin immediately dissatisfied.
Xu Ying looked back and snorted: "Lin County's order is too far-fetched for you, people can lie, and the evidence can naturally be forged." You keep saying that there is a deed for the sale and purchase of land as evidence, can I take a look? ”
didn't expect Xu Ying to refute herself like this, which made Yu Wenbin stunned. Even Yang Zhen didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in the other party's gourd, and he looked at all this with a slightly surprised look, and he didn't mean to help.
Xu Ying smiled: "Why, Lord County, can't you even make such a small request?" Or do you really have a weak heart? I know that the contract is fake, but I still want to use it to accuse my Xu family? ”
In the face of Xu Ying's pressing step by step, Lin Xian Ling naturally had no other choice, so he could only snort and re-order someone to take the note on the case, so that Xu Ying could understand it.
Xu Ying took the note and looked at it carefully, her brows were furrowed, there was also the signature of Xu Chang, a stupid person, he was really a guy who had more than enough success and more than failure. He had already reminded the house slaves under his command that even if the Xu family was so powerful in Jiangnan that no one dared to provoke him, it was better to be careful and careful in some things, and not to leave a handle for others.
But he was good, he actually took his instructions as a deaf ear, knowing that there was a big problem with this transaction note, and he actually dared to sign it, he was really not afraid of being settled.
But even if he wants to punish this unconscious guy, he has to help his family speak after returning home, at least in this county government. But what could he say about this proof in front of him?
Just when everyone didn't think Xu Ying could say anything, he laughed again: "It's really ridiculous, this word is clearly fake, but someone forged it, Lin Zhixian, you actually used it as evidence to prove that my Xu family is guilty, how can it be reasonable!" After saying this, he pulled hard with both hands a few times, and instantly tore the note to pieces, crumpled it again, and threw it to the ground.
This move immediately shocked everyone present, including Yang Zhen, who didn't expect this Xu Sanye to do such a thing to destroy evidence, and he couldn't make any reaction for a while. And Lu Wenbin was even more angry and trembling, clenched his fists and slammed the big case in front of him, looked at Xu Ying angrily and shouted: "Xu Ying, you are so bold, you dare to destroy the evidence......"
They were all angry or stunned, and didn't react much. Only Xu Chang, who was kneeling on the ground just now, had jumped over at the same time as Xu Ying dropped the note, like a hungry dog snatching, he picked up the note that was broken and crumpled by Xu Ying, and then opened his mouth, stuffed it into his mouth, and swallowed it with a grunt.
This series of actions came too quickly, and even Yang Zhen couldn't react before the other party completed all this. And it wasn't until Xu Chang ate the evidence that Yang Zhen sneered and stared at Xu Ying deeply, knowing that this third master of the Xu family was indeed a little anxious.
The original complete evidence was destroyed by the Xu family in front of everyone, which is an extremely rare scene in the trial process of all the yamen in the world, and the county officials were completely stunned, they really didn't expect Xu Ying to do such a thing so shamelessly. But only a person of his status can do this, because he believes that no matter how angry he is, he doesn't dare to do anything to himself.
Indeed, in addition to feeling angry, Lin Xianling was also a little overwhelmed, because he didn't know how to deal with this scene. According to his heart, of course, he wants to convict Xu Ying, but this is difficult to do! In a complicated mood, he could only look at Yang Zhen on the side to see if the big leader of the Jinyi Guard could save the situation......
