(

The second butler of the Hou Ye's Mansion came prepared this time, and after the two attendants signed the confession and were taken down, a group of men and women were led in by the officials and knelt on the ground in the lobby. The update is the fastest and most stable

"Who is the one who kneels?" Du Yuncheng glanced at the men and women and asked in a deep voice.

"Lord Qiyu, these people are the neighbors of the Liu family, they can prove that the Liu family is born with "sex" and "debauchery" on weekdays, and has affairs with many people, and is a "" and "woman" who can be married to everyone." The second butler, who was kneeling in front of the group of people, heard this and replied with a smile on his face.

As soon as these words came out, Li Yuntian's brows suddenly furrowed.

This method of the Hou Yefu is really too indiscriminate, and after a while, he splashed a basin of dirty water on Liu Wenqing's body.

According to the situation on the night of the incident, especially Gu Xi's cousin of the two followers, Li Yuntian naturally believed that Liu Wenqing was innocent.

Besides, if Liu Wenqing is really as unbearable as she says, and has had an affair with many people, there is no need to hang Gu Xi on this tree with her posture, there must be other powerful children who are willing to accept her as a concubine, and there is no need for her to kill Gu Xi at all.

Quite simply, Liu Wenqing is described as a greedy and vain woman, since she pursues a rich life, how can she commit murder?

Li Yuntian couldn't help but look at Du Yuncheng who was expressionless, this move of the Hou Yefu was undoubtedly a snake to add to the snake, and in this more move, they wanted to deduct Liu Wenqing from the charge of "" and "woman", but they ignored the logical relationship between affairs.

He believed that Du Yuncheng would definitely be able to think of such a simple logical inference, but Du Yuncheng would definitely be inconvenient to say anything because of the situation of the Hou Yefu.

"What testimony do you have?" After listening to the words of the second housekeeper, Du Yuncheng looked at the group of people kneeling there and asked quietly.

"Master Qiyu, we are all neighbors of the Liu family, which can prove that the Liu family does not abide by the 'woman' way, attracts bees and butterflies, and often allows some men to spend the night at home."

Kneeling at the front of the crowd was a thin-faced old man with gray hair and beard, who opened his mouth and said to Du Yuncheng, the look on his face looked a little embarrassed and ashamed.

"Master, the Liu family is a '' and 'woman', the son of many big families."

"Master, the Liu family still wants to ** us to be in charge, but I scolded him."

"Lord, the Liu clan has corrupted the atmosphere of our place, please drive her away, so as not to bring the young man bad."

……

As the thin-faced old man spoke, the people kneeling behind him were all "accusing" Liu Wenqing's crimes.

"This official asks you, have you seen the Liu family having an affair with those men with your own eyes?" At this time, Li Yuntian really couldn't stand it anymore, and suddenly asked.

The voices of those people suddenly stopped, and they all looked at Li Yuntian, who was sitting in the first seat on the left side of the hall, and from Li Yuntian's sitting order, they knew that the identity of the young official in front of them was not simple.

There is a strict hierarchy in the officialdom, and the seat in public is particularly important, and you can't sit casually, otherwise you will be "chaotic" and respectful.

According to the relevant rules of the imperial court, the officials of the three legal divisions sit in the first three seats during the jury, and the specific ranking is according to the official rank and seniority between the three people, and the others sit behind the three.

Therefore, the people sitting in the first four seats on the left are Li Yuntian, An Botai, Niu Yicheng and Xie Heng, and the fifth person is Wang Hao.

Although Li Yuntian was not an official sent by the Metropolitan Procuratorate to jury, he supervised the handling of this case, so he had the same status as an official of the Three Law Divisions. [27615671 Ruling the Ming Dynasty] 276 Ruling the Ming Dynasty 278

Xie Heng's official rank is the seventh grade, and Li Yuntian, An Botai and Niu Yicheng are all the sixth grade, so he can only rank fourth.

An Botai is a Jinshi one subject higher than Niu Yicheng, so his ranking is in front of Niu Yicheng.

As for Li Yuntian, although his qualifications are not as good as An Botai and Niu Yicheng, he is a Shu Jishi of the Hanlin Academy, so his status is half a grade higher than An Botai, so he naturally has to sit in the first place.

"Lord Qiyu, little ......" The old man with a thin face looked up at Li Yuntian, then at the second housekeeper, and then spoke.

"This official reminds you that this is the lobby of Shuntianfu, your confession will be recorded, and then it will be thoroughly investigated whether it is true, if there is any untruth, it will be falsely accused, and you will sit back at that time!" Without waiting for the thin-faced old man to finish speaking, Li Yuntian interrupted him coldly.

"Small...... The little ......" The thin-faced old man saw Li Yuntian's sharp eyes and full of momentum, and he was so frightened that he swallowed back the words behind him, and couldn't help but turn his head to look at the second housekeeper again.

"When the official asks you, are you ignoring the official and taking care of him?" Seeing this, Li Yuntian reached out and patted the armrest of the seat and shouted in a deep voice.

"Small...... The little ones don't dare! The thin-faced old man hurriedly turned his head and touched the ground with his head at Li Yuntian, and cold sweat couldn't help but ooze from his forehead.

"Li Yushi, you have such a big official position, and you don't let people speak?" At this time, a sneer sounded, and a stout man wearing a three-grade martial robe sitting on the right side looked at Li Yuntian coldly.

"The official just reminded him to testify truthfully!" Li Yuntian glanced at the stout man, and replied in an indifferent voice, he recognized this person as one of Lu Zhongqian's henchmen in the Houjun Governor's Mansion.

"Answering Li Yushi's words, have you seen the Liu family having an affair with someone?" Seeing that there was a bit of anger in the words between Li Yuntian and the stout man, Du Yuncheng hurriedly diverted the topic and asked the thin-faced old man.

"Small...... The little one didn't see it with his own eyes, but there were a lot of rumors about the Liu family on the street, and it must be true. The thin-faced old man was frightened by Li Yuntian just now, and at this time he was already 'confused', and replied after hesitating for a moment.

As he spoke, the thin-faced old man couldn't help but reach out and wipe the sweat from his forehead, he and these neighbors had originally come to testify under the coercion of the second housekeeper.

Originally, the slender and long-faced old man thought that the Hou Yefu had already been taken care of, and they were just here to go through the motions, but now a noble imperial historian suddenly appeared and interrogated him strictly, so he dared to talk nonsense in his heart, and after thinking about it again and again, he wisely chose a safe path.

A subtle smile flashed at the corner of Li Yuntian's mouth, the reason why he suddenly became embarrassed just now was to give the slender old man and the others a chance to get out, and now it seems that the slender and long-faced old man has made the right choice.

Liu Wenqing's case is now intervened by the Three Law Divisions, and once it is found that the thin-faced old man is lying, then he will have to sit back.

"What about you?" Du Yuncheng saw that the confession of the thin-faced old man had changed, so he glanced at Li Yuntian silently and asked the other witnesses.

The other witnesses looked at each other, not knowing what to answer for a moment, and then looked at the second butler in unison.

"You have told me the truth, what do you see me doing?" The second housekeeper couldn't help but be embarrassed, and glared at those witnesses viciously, didn't these fools' behavior at this time make it clear that he had something to do with this matter?

"I'm asking you!" Du Yuncheng couldn't help but slap the wood in shock, and asked expressionlessly.

"Wei~~Wu~~" The guards on both sides of the hall immediately raised their water and fire sticks in their hands and shouted in unison, putting psychological pressure on those witnesses.

"Small...... The little one also listened to the rumors on the street. The person kneeling behind the thin-faced old man suddenly panicked, which was different from what the second housekeeper had said to them before, and soon, a middle-aged man couldn't bear the tense and depressing atmosphere in the lobby, and took the lead in speaking.

"The little ones are also told by people." When the rest of the witnesses heard this, they immediately opened their mouths and chose themselves out of the matter.

For them, the small people in the market, the Hou Ye Mansion is certainly high, but the imperial history of the imperial court is not easy to provoke, so they chose a compromise method, which can be regarded as the last contribution to the Hou Ye Mansion.

In the face of the sudden change in the confessions of the people, the officials present suddenly whispered again, and it was obvious that hearsay could not be used as testimony.

Facing the scene in front of him, Gu Dayong glanced at Li Yuntian coldly, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.

He has now seen that Li Yuntian has no intention of being accommodating at all, otherwise he would not have grabbed these witnesses and made it clear that he wanted to get along with him, since this is the case, he will teach Li Yuntian a lesson and let Li Yuntian know that the sky is high and the earth is thick.

"Big master, the little one can testify that he saw the Liu family fornicating with others." At this moment, a man's voice sounded in the public hall, and a dark-skinned young man said to Du Yuncheng in a loud voice.

"Uncle, the little one can also testify." Immediately, the fat young man kneeling beside the young man also shouted.

If what the two said is true, then this will be the most important evidence to prove that Liu Wenqing is a "" and "woman".

Li Yuntian glanced at the two young men, and secretly shook his head in his heart, since the two of them insisted on hitting the muzzle, then he would not be polite at that time.

"Those who listen to what others say kneel on the left side of the hall, and those who see with their own eyes kneel on the right side of the hall." Du Yuncheng's witnesses were divided, and he groaned and said loudly.

With this order, the witnesses quickly divided into two camps, with the majority kneeling on the left side of the lobby and only five on the right.

To Li Yuntian's surprise, among the five people on the right, in addition to the two young people before, there were also three middle-aged "women" in ordinary clothes.

"You also witnessed the Liu clan having an affair with someone?" After frowning slightly, Li Yuntian looked at the three middle-aged "women".

"Lord Qiyu, the people's 'woman' Gao's house, the house is opposite the Liu family's house, and it is often possible to see a man entering the Liu family's house at night through the crack in the door, and he did not leave until the next morning." The middle-aged woman kneeling between the three "women" hurriedly replied when she heard this, her eyes flashed, and she looked shrewd.

"My lord, the people's 'woman' Qin family lives next door to the Liu family, not only at night, but sometimes during the day, you can hear the sound of 'lewdness' and 'dang' in her house, which is unbearable!" When the middle-aged woman on Gao's left heard this, she immediately spoke.

"My lord, the people's 'woman' Zhao family, one morning I went to Gao Sister-in-law's house to borrow needlework and thread, and I happened to meet Liu's concubine sneakily coming out of Liu's yard." The middle-aged "woman" on Gao's right also hurriedly spoke.

"My lord, in that case, let the others stand down." Li Yuntian's eyes flashed with a cold light when he heard this, this kind of "woman" in the market is the most hateful, usually chewing her tongue behind her back and not saying anything, but she even dared to speak out in the court, and then arched her hand at Du Yuncheng and said loudly.

Du Yuncheng nodded, waved his hand at the thin-faced old man and others kneeling on the left side of the hall, and the officials took them down.

Gu Dayong sneered and looked at Li Yuntian with a stern expression, now that the human and material evidence is there, he wants to see what Li Yuntian has to turn this case over
