Chapter 56: Confrontation in the Court
Everyone looked in the direction of the shout, and it turned out that this ancestor Chengxun arrived in time with his people. www.biquge.info Ziren and Tong Yang really knew the people, and hurriedly ordered their subordinates to put away their blades.
After Zu Chengxun entered Guangning City with the army, Li Chengliang saw that the soldiers and horses in the city were gathered and the battalion numbers were mixed, so he ordered his troops to patrol the city, so as to prevent some soldiers from taking advantage of the chaos.
Zu Chengxun happened to be here today, and hurriedly led his soldiers and horses after hearing Ziren's shout. As soon as I arrived at the door of the restaurant, I saw a dead body, and I was worried that the situation would be big, so I hurriedly took someone upstairs to check. Fortunately, Zu Chengxun came in time to stop a fight between the two sides.
Seeing that the person who came was also Li Chengliang's cronies, Tong Yang was secretly happy in his heart, and pulled Zu Chengxun to speak: "Brother Zu, this kid eats a bully meal in my restaurant, and he also injured many guys in my family. I brought my family to stop it, but he actually exploded and injured people, killing two lives of my Tong family, and I hope that my eldest brother will uphold justice for me. ”
Seeing that Tong Yangzhen actually dared to sue the wicked first, of course Ziren refused to back down, and argued: "Master Zu, a pot of wine and a plate of peanuts, this black shop actually dares to offer ten taels of silver." I don't want to quarrel with him, I have just settled the account with the shopkeeper, and this man has confessed to it before his death. How could these Jurchen Tartars not change their animal nature, and they actually started an infighting and stabbed their shopkeeper to death with one shot. When the murderer saw that his deeds were revealed, he had just jumped off the building and committed suicide, what did he have to do with me. ”
The two of them insisted on their own words, and Zu Chengxun did not know the merits of the matter, and it was difficult in his heart. If you want to be someone else, Zu Chengxun will definitely favor the same family, and the family is Tong Yangzhen's side of the Liaodong Wang clan.
Not long after Ke Ziren arrived in Liaodong, he was photographed by Li Runan, the eldest son of Li Chengcai, and was ready to marry his sister to him. And he is the confidant and favorite general of Shen Yourong, the big celebrity in front of Gu Yangqian. After some comparison, the two are not equal, and I don't know what to do.
Zu Chengxun thought about it and felt that it was not easy to offend both sides, so he decided to take the two of them together to the judge to wait for the fate. At the same time, he sent someone to inform Shen Yourong's side, so that he could make plans early.
Before leaving, Ziren was worried that Tong Yangzheng was secretly making an obstruction, so he specially told Zu Chengxun to put the corpse of the shopkeeper and the tiger gun of the fallen soldier together, so as to clear his grievances as evidence of Chengtang.
In order to avoid conflicts between the two on the road, Zu Chengxun deliberately asked people to separate the two sides. But on the way to the judge, Ziren and Tong Yangzhen still quarreled constantly. Ding Shoutie likes to talk to people on weekdays, and under Ziren's signal, he scolds all the way, and the Wang brothers also help together. Everyone knows that this Tong family black shop is on the way, and peanuts are actually charged by the grain, and the streets and alleys are boiling for a while.
After arriving at the Yamen of the Imperial Prosecutor's Office, the officials inside and outside the department saw that the case involved human lives, and that one of the two people involved was a general of Li Chengliang's subordinates, and the other was an officer of the firearms battalion under the command of the governor, so they did not dare to make a rash decision. had to temporarily suppress the non-trial, and then sent someone to the Metropolitan Procuratorate to report to the governor.
Taking advantage of this situation, Tong Yangzhen's younger brother Tong Yangxing hurriedly rushed to the mansion of the chief soldier Li Chengliang to ask for help. This person is responsible for running Fushun Horse Market on weekdays, but he reversed black and white in Li Chengliang, and said that Ziren was heinous, but his family was endlessly wronged.
Fortunately, Li Chengliang has been in officialdom for a long time, and he heard clues from his words, and it is expected that this matter must be a bully of the Tong family. However, Ziren took the lives of the Tong family in a row, and if he didn't intervene, he was afraid that he would damage the face of the Li family. Immediately sent Ding Li Youming, and Li Youhua and the two went to press the judge to exert pressure.
The two were just about to go out, Li Dequan rushed to hear the news, stopped the two and hurriedly rushed to the house, and whispered a few words beside Li Chengliang. After listening, Li Chengliang's face changed, and he whispered: "Dequan, there is really such a thing." ”
Li Dequan immediately replied: "Master, this matter is absolutely true. I was there when the eldest son and the second son of the second master's mansion said to Ziren that I was there, and the ancestor was also there at the time, if you don't believe it, you can call him over and ask. For this matter, the third lady Li Ruliu also broke out and hurt people, and Ziren was stabbed by her for no reason. ”
Seeing that Li Dequan's appearance didn't look like a fake, Li Chengliang believed ninety percent on the spot. I thought: This person is the son-in-law of the second brother? In this case, I really can't interfere in this matter. But sitting back and ignoring it may chill the soldiers who follow him, and he will be in a dilemma for a while.
After Li Dequan saw this, he hurriedly stepped forward to offer advice: "At this time, it is inconvenient for my Li family to come forward, so it is better not to help each other, do official business, and send a deputy general soldier who has nothing to do with the two to preside over justice." ”
Li Chengliang felt that Li Dequan's words were reasonable, and thought about it. Li Pinghu is his own family member, and it is inconvenient for him to come forward, and Zu Chengxun and Shen Yourong have to avoid suspicion when they are stationed in Liaoyang for a long time. In this way, only the new vice president Sun Shoulian is suitable in this Guangning City.
After making up his mind, Li Chengliang hurriedly instructed Li Dequan to call back Li Youming and Li Youhua. At the same time, he sent someone to reply to Tong Yangxing, saying that it was inconvenient for the General Military Office to inquire about the name of the sentence. At the time of this incident, Sun Shoulian was stationed in the city, and asked his representative to go to the command department to observe, and then sent Tong Yang to leave.
Seeing that Li Chengliang was reluctant to come forward, Tong Yangxing had to give up, and secretly said in his heart: "Fortunately, I have been prepared, even if Master Li is unwilling to come forward, my Tong family will not be able to lose this lawsuit." ”
Ziren was a general of the firearms battalion, and it was inconvenient for Governor Gu Yangqian to come forward, so he sent Yang Hao, then a soldier of Liaohai Province, to preside over the overall situation according to the judge. All of a sudden, the major forces in Liaodong Town gathered here for a murder case caused by a black shop.
Yang Hao is an upright person and has a long reputation in Liaodong. Tong Yangzhen saw that he would try the case, and he felt a little more confident in his heart. The younger brother thought that he had already arranged it outside. Once the court opens, even if Ziren can't be taken to the top level, this lawsuit will definitely be able to turn the tide and be invincible.
Yang Hao was also well prepared at this time, and the deputy chief soldier Sun Shoulian and the envoy according to the judge (the Liaodong according to the judge is the branch of the Shandong according to the judge in Liaodong, and only one envoy of the fifth grade is in charge) sat on both sides of the seat. Ordered to bring the people to the church.
The plaintiff and the defendant in this case were inseparable for a while, Ziren was famous for his achievements, and Tong Yangzhen was an official guerrilla general in Liaodong, and neither of them brought torture instruments to the court.
Ziren came up, and without waiting for Yang Hao to ask, he knelt on the ground and said with grief and indignation: "Ladies and gentlemen, Ding Shouming, a son in Xiazhejiang, has just arrived in Guangning City. Tong Yangzhen, a Jurchen Tartar, opened a black shop, not to mention his life. He also insulted the ancestors of the next generation, and asked a few adults to make decisions for the next generation. ”
Ziren said yes, and the full hall of civil and military officials was stunned even with the surrounding officials. Tong Yangzhen was caught off guard, he didn't know what kind of card Ziren was playing, and he scolded anxiously in his heart: "Grass your eighteenth generation ancestor!" I'll scold you! What's the matter! You don't want to say anything about the lives of my Tong family, but you still dare to talk nonsense here. ”
