Chapter 132: Opening the Court to Clear Grievances
Gao Longzhi also smiled and agreed: "I think these flowers are also suitable for placing in my aunt's room, as the saying goes, spring flowers bloom all over the room and fragrance is probably what it means." The maid smiled and said, "It's still the son who can speak, and my stupid tongue will only make the old lady angry." After that, he deliberately peeked at Gao Longzhi with his eyes. The old lady is indeed in a good mood today. The three of them talked and laughed in the house. This is Gao Zhongming whispering at the door: "Uncle, Lord Yang is asking to see you outside the door." β
It turned out that the Luoyang Prefecture Government's case on Gao Long's house was retried and opened, and he was asked to go back and confront him in court. Gao Han said to Yang Xiuzhi a little reluctantly: "Lord Yang, can you not let my Longzhi run back and forth, can't you arrange someone to go to the trial instead?" Now he is the pistachio of the old body, with him with me, I am very happy every day, if I don't see his old body for a day, I can't eat and sleep well. β
It seems that Gao Hanzhi really treats Gao Longzhi as his own son, but Yang Xiuzhi's face is embarrassed, he is a person who enforces the law impartially, since he knows that Gao Longzhi's case has grievances, he must carefully and carefully examine it, but if even the plaintiff is not in the court, who will judge the case with his heart, this is simply nonsense, but he didn't dare to say it clearly, for fear that if the old lady was angry, he couldn't coax him. In the past, he was not a powerful person, and now it is the same, but it does not mean that he should not be afraid of his boss, this is a different concept, and the county official is not as good as the current management.
Gao Longzhi saw Yang Xiuzhi's embarrassment, and immediately said to Gao Hanshi carefully: "Auntie, my nephew must go in person this time, because I am the only man in the family at the moment, who can replace me if I don't come out?" Besides, the nephew also had to confront those thieves face to face and teach them to be convinced. Gao Han's silence was silent when he heard this, and only said after a while: "Okay, you must fight for our old Gao family when you go back this time, don't let people underestimate it." β
Yang Xiuyi heard that the old lady let him go, and hurriedly said with a smile: "Old lady, don't worry, I will personally accompany Gao Gongzi to take a trip, and I will ask the officials of the state government to enforce the law impartially." Besides, the name of our Qi Wangfu is brought out all over the world, who dares to cheat for personal gain? I'm afraid it's too late for us to stammer. "Yang has been a Yecheng Taishou for a while, and he has really become Gao Huan's retainer.
When Gao Han heard this, he smiled and said, "If that's the case, then I really have to ask Lord Yang to accompany my nephew on a hard trip." Yang Xiuzhi readily agreed. Gao Longzhi's matter is really not a big deal, but the relationship between people is hard, and the old lady's handpicked cousin Gao Huan, does Yang Xiuzhi have nothing to do every day just to serve Gao Longzhi? He couldn't be too busy, if it weren't for Gao Huan's face, who would bother to run errands.
Early the next morning, Gao Longzhi said goodbye to Gao Han's family, and went to Luoyang by carriage with Yang Xiuzhi. Who knows before entering Luoyang, a few officials from the state capital will be waiting at the city gate, now Luoyang is no longer the capital, no matter how big the officials here are, it is also a local nature, and Yecheng is too guarded to be different, which is equivalent to the current commander of the Beijing garrison and the director of the public security bureau, how big an official!
Yang Xiuzhi had no choice but to be gracious, but he first took Gao Longzhi to the state capital Yamen to rest, and later he hurriedly took Gao Zhongming to the imperial city (now Gao Huan's army headquarters) to see the king of Qi. Gao Huan was very interested in this young man who looked like Sven, and kept chatting with him to inquire about his family. When he heard Gao Longzhi say that he also had a sister named, and there was no news after entering the palace in his early years, he moved in his heart and asked casually: "Your sister looks like this, she should be twenty this year." β
Gao Longzhi looked at him in amazement, and asked, "I wonder how His Highness knows my sister's appearance and age?" Gao Huan laughed and said: "You kid don't have to ask so much, when you finish this case, I will take you back to Yecheng, and you will know." Gao Long's face was confused, he couldn't figure out what he meant, but Gao Huan was happy in his heart, his cousin became a brother-in-law in seconds, life is really wonderful, there are surprises everywhere and accidents come every day.
Three days later, the trial officially began, Yang Xiuzhi sat next to the presiding judge as a juror, and Gao Longzhi was the plaintiff, so he stood on the right side of the court. Because the notice was posted before, the entire Luoyanger and others knew that the Xu family's case was going to be retried, and some people who didn't know what was going on asked strangely: "Isn't it just a gambling case?" How can you engage in such a big battle? People who know the inside story gossip: "Although the case is ordinary, the identity of the plaintiff is scary, and now the younger brother of the King of Qi (the folk are really invincible with false rumors) has fallen to the Xu family, and now people recognize their ancestors and return to their ancestors, and come back to take revenge on those who bullied him in the past." β
At the moment, the onlookers whispered, some were envious of Gao Longzhi's identity, and it was good to be an illegitimate child to a powerful person, and some were glad that they didn't usually provoke the Xu family, otherwise it would be enough to choke at the moment. Just when the people outside the hall were discussing lively, there were two people standing in the crowd, one was Hui Niang who was dressed as a man, and the other was a maid who she disguised as a small maid, Hui Niang heard that Xu Longzhi was back two days ago, but he has not been seen to come to find him, and he came to the trial site today to meet him. But from the lobby far away, she really couldn't see the appearance of her San Lang (Gao Longzhi's three at home). The maid stood on tiptoe and looked inside, and finally said dejectedly, "Miss...... Childe, I can't see if there is Xu Gongzi in it. Hu Niang sighed and said, "That's it, let's wait for the lawsuit to be over and then look for him." β
At this time, the official in charge of the trial slapped the startled wood and said loudly: "Take the defendant to the court with a flower." Gao Long heard the enemy come to the court, turned to look, only to hear the sound of chains in the side hall, this usually tyrannical thief Yihua is now wearing a disheveled head, disheveled, with handcuffs and leg shackles by two officials escorted in. Seeing him like a lost dog, he looked at the officials around him in a panic, his face was completely gone, and he was a little more depressed and desolate.
So since ancient times, this prison cell has been a place of life and death, a small cell head is equivalent to the king of Hades, let you be domineering and domineering on weekdays, and immediately become a good cat in the cell head, you can play how you want, and give some silver to know and interest will make you feel better, if you don't have a penny, then you really live in it is better to die, you can't eat and sleep well every day, and you can go crazy in a few days.
At this moment, before the official could ask, Yihua knelt on the ground, kowtowed vigorously, and said in his mouth: "Master, I am guilty, I shouldn't be greedy to occupy the Xu family's house and land, I am guilty." A burly man is kowtowing and crying and begging for mercy like a girl at the moment, even Gao Longzhi feels incredible.
The official who presided over the trial said angrily: "Bold a flower, this official hasn't asked you yet, you are pretending to be crazy and stupid, come on, pull me down and beat him with thirty sticks to kill his prestige." After that, he took out the red stick and threw it on the ground, and the officials stepped forward to hold down a flower, opened their pants and started to fight. Pity this branch of flowers, only went to the lobby for two sentences, and ate the killing rod of thirty sticks first. This is called the power of kings.
The screams of a flower killing a pig made Gao Longzhi also feel a little compassionate, although he hated this bully and thief who seized his own property all the time, but he just wanted justice to get back what belonged to him, and it seemed that things were developing in a direction that he couldn't predict.
After beating thirty sticks, the lower half of Yizhihua's body was already miserable, lying on the ground and panting. The official in the hall asked the old god now: "The thief is a flower, the official asks you, how did you rob the Xu family's property and force Xu Fu away?" Yizhihua spoke intermittently, the old man was impatient to listen, and he was going to beat him again, Yizhihua was so frightened that he quickly told the story from beginning to end, and the official in charge of the trial turned his head and asked Gao Longzhi with a smile: "Gao Gongzi, is this guy telling the truth?" That flattering look even Yang Xiuzhi on the side felt disgusting, this thing was even more shameless than himself, and he was brazen and brazen.
Gao Longzhi bowed his hand to several officials in the hall and said: "If you go back to the master, the situation in the student's family is just as this thief said, and ask the master to make decisions for the students." The official in charge of the trial was overwhelmed when he heard this, and hurriedly said: "It turns out that Gao Gongzi is still a protΓ©gΓ© of the Son of Heaven, and he is disrespectful, so someone should quickly bring a chair for Gao Gongzi and sit down." Gao Longzhi originally wanted to state that he had not yet obtained fame, but Yang Xiuzhi told him with his eyes that there was no need.
The face of the presiding official here changed, and he said viciously to Yizhihua angrily: "Yizhihua, this official asked you, how did you bribe the Taishou to make this case an unjust case?" Quickly recruit from the truth, dare to tell half a lie so that your mother doesn't even know you. Yizhihua was frightened, and honestly told me how to buy Taishou and how to beat Gao Longzhiqu into a trick, and the people in the hall were very angry when they heard it, this guy is simply heinous.
The official was shocked and shouted, "Come on, bring me the Taishou up." Everyone was curious to see what this official inquisitor looked like, and they all stood on tiptoe and looked at the side hall. I saw that Luoyang Taishou was majestic and majestic on weekdays, and he was also a god and Buddha in the place, but at this moment, he was also haggard and full of sorrow and was pushed by the official to walk to the lobby.
He is an official of the imperial court, so there is no etiquette to kneel to the presiding judge, and he stood in the hall in a daze, the presiding official originally wanted to give him a little color, remembering that the division came to his house last night and asked him not to be embarrassed by the trial tomorrow, so he didn't bother with him at the moment, but just asked lightly: "Do you have any objections to what Yizhihua said?" That Taishou looked at Gao Longzhi, at this moment he was sitting in the hall, and as a Taishou, Gao Longzhi bowed to him before, his identity changed so quickly, and the status disparity was so big, so that Lord Taishou was a little unable to adapt.
I saw him nodding his head, and he didn't have too many words, who would have thought that Gao Longzhi, who was killed by himself in prison, was sitting in front of him with great energy at this moment, and there was an identity that he was afraid of all his life: the Gao family. I constantly regret that the transaction with Yizhihua was wrong at that time, or that Gao Longzhi should have been killed in prison at that time, and I should have been in trouble.
The presiding official asked Taishou to take him down, and then asked Yizhihua how to seize the property of the Xu family, Yizhihua was not hiding it at this time, so he told Mo You how he found him, and the two discussed to lure Xu Fu step by step, and finally caused him to lose his gambling and bankrupt his family, and also took the opportunity to borrow usury to him.
Hearing this, even Gao Longzhi hated Mo You to death, it turned out that everything was made by this person named Mo You, and a flower was just used by him as a tool, and this Mo You later wanted to kill himself and was beaten to death by Fan Daguan, just a dog dressed in human skin.
Sure enough, the presiding officer threw down a white stick, and the two officers went out to arrest Mo You. This Mo You knew that this matter was going to be bad as early as two days ago when the government posted a notice, but he still had a fluke that he would not find out about himself, because he didn't do anything, and everything was done by a flower, but the moment the official came to the door, he was completely dumbfounded. His wife remembered crying, took his hand and asked, "Official, what's going on?" Yes? What's going on, what mistake did you make, did the old man catch the mistake and admit it, you spoke?
