The rain was pouring down, and it was disturbing to hear. In fact, Ye Xiaotian likes rain very much, especially such a downpour, it is best to be accompanied by bursts of thunder. He felt that this feeling was particularly hearty, and every time it rained like this, he would never feel sad and sad, but very excited.
So, on such a rainy night, he often sleeps more steadily, and on such a rainy day, he inevitably runs into the rain to chase the rain flowers and laughs and jumps, but that is already the frivolity of childhood, getting older, after all, he has to be much calmer, but every time it rains, he still feels happy from the bottom of his heart.
However, today is different, I don't know how long the time of the court trial lasted, no one came out inside, and no one went in outside, Ye Xiaotian, who was standing under the corridor, was a little troubled.
Suddenly, a servant stood at the entrance of the hall and shouted to Zhou Bantou to go to the upper hall, Zhou Bantou nodded to Ye Xiaotian, and walked towards the hall step by step with a cane, at the same time, Guo's family walked down from the lobby and staggered past Zhou Bantou.
Zhou Bantou paused, glanced at the sad and depressed appearance of Guo's family, and his heart sank, but he didn't speak, nor hesitated, just gritted his teeth, and straightened his waist and walked towards the lobby faster.
Ye Xiaotian also saw Mr. Guo's family, but the dodging gaze of Mr. Guo's family when they saw him made him understand something, he slowly turned his head, and didn't look at the Guo family again, just looked up at the rain curtain strung together, and the extremely depressed mood in his heart wanted to pour out with the rain.
After a while, Luo Daheng called from the side: "Big brother! ”
Ye Xiaotian turned his head to look, and then he understood why Luo Daheng called him, only to see that Mr. Guo's family had come to him at some point, kneeling in front of him, and without waiting to speak, Mr. Guo burst into tears and said in a choked voice: "No matter what, the kindness of the old man of the classics, my Guo Sheng's family, will never forget!" ”
After that, Guo Laozhang took the lead and kowtowed, Ye Xiaotian didn't ask, but he already understood that Guo's family must have been forced by Qi Mu's threat and did not dare to insist on the right to pursue the murderer in court. Most likely, they still come up with absurd reasons for their deaths.
Lament its misfortune, or hate it? Ye Xiaotian didn't know what to say, he didn't want to say anything, there was resentment and sadness in his heart, he knew all kinds of helplessness of the little people, but in the face of the weakness and retreat of the Guo family, he still had an indescribable disappointment in his heart.
The tycoon threw the schoolbag behind him and said to Ye Xiaotian: "Big brother, my father said a sentence, he said that poor people must have something to hate!" So the poor may be pitiful and worthy of sympathy, but not worthy of help. ”
Uncle Guo couldn't help crying when he heard this, if he was the only one and had a cheap life, he might not dare to fight, but for the sake of his little grandson's ......life, this is Qi Mu's world, he really didn't dare to imagine what kind of consequences would occur if he insisted on confronting Qi Mu.
"Ai Dian Shi" tried his best to create such conditions for their family, although even if they were willing to tell the truth, the Wuwei County Decree might not dare to judge impartially, but he still felt too sorry to succumb to the murderer who killed his son. ”
Ye Xiaotian sighed and said to Uncle Guo: "Your head, you kowtow too much." ”
Guo Laozhang was stunned for a moment, raised his head, Ye Xiaotian limped past him with a cane, accompanied by the sound of the wooden cane hitting the ground in his heart like a drum, and Ye Xiaotian's words floated out: "In the future, don't kneel down lightly, sometimes, beg someone...... It's better to ask for yourself! ”
The trial in the court was very chaotic, those neighbors testified, some insisted that they saw Xu Lin beat Guo Fatzi on the street, some were vague, and some people suddenly changed their words, saying that Guo Fatzi took the initiative to provoke and beat Xu Lin, Xu Lin missed a push in the dodge, and Guo Fatzi fell and hit the vital point and died accidentally.
When Mr. Guo's family wandered into the court, they saw someone in the crowd of onlookers taking out a blood-stained puppet, smiling and screwing off the puppet's head, Mr. Guo and his daughter-in-law completely collapsed, and they insisted on the statement that their son died of illness, and Xu Lin's biggest crime was gone.
As for the next case of obstructing justice and beating Zhou Bantou, Huazhi County breathed a sigh of relief. Although Zhou Bantou and all the people who testified insisted on the truth, how much punishment was such a case? Presumably, it was disposed of at will, which not only appeased the crowd, but also gave Uncle Qi an explanation, so it would be done.
After Zhou Bantou said that he had passed, several arresters came to the court to testify, and Huazhi County glanced at the crowd. I don't know when, Meng Xiancheng and Qi Mu have quietly walked in, standing in the crowd of people on the right, watching quietly. Qi Mu's face was light and light, but Meng Xiancheng looked at him with a hint of coldness, reminding him of the fate of offending Uncle Qi.
And the king's master book actually came, quietly standing behind the people on the left side to watch the trial, leaning on a hall pillar, with his hands on his sleeves, and his face was still smiling.
Except for eating, drinking, and prevarication, when they really need to show themselves, they rarely appear in public together, which is the officialdom rule of "the king does not see the king", and it is also the instinct of the tiger wolf: in his own territory, he must appear as a king, and there should not be a higher person to steal his limelight.
However, they didn't notice that there was still a person standing in the crowd that seemed to be ordinary people, a person who was not a flat-headed person. In fact, it doesn't matter if they see it, because they don't know this person at all: An Shi of the King of Toast, ---- An Nantian, the eldest son of the An family.
An Nantian was purely idle and bored, staying in the inn and getting along with the tigress was a chore before he slipped out of the rain, and he had no intention of looking for flowers and willows in the daytime, and he didn't know where to go to spend time, and overheard about this big case that caused a sensation among the people of Huxian County, so he ran to the court to hear the trial.
Hua Zhixian glanced at Meng Xiancheng, grabbed the startled wood and slapped it, coughed and said: "Regarding the case of Xu Lin beating Guo Lifeng to death, after an open trial and detailed investigation in this county, a large number of witnesses and confessions have been collected, and it is confirmed that it is really a false rumor.
This case is really an ordinary neighborhood dispute, Guo Lifeng took the initiative to provoke, beating his neighbors, Xu Lin pushed Guo Lifeng down when he was dodging, and unfortunately he was killed by knocking on a stone, that is, it was not intentional homicide, and it was not negligent homicide, it was actually to avoid beating and passive defense. Guo Lifeng's death was accidental. There is no need to blame Xu Lin. ”
As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar in the court, yes, Mr. Guo did make a confession that his son died of illness, but the body was there, wouldn't the government examine the injury? Moreover, there are not all witnesses in this case, and the Guo family did not go to court as a plaintiff this time, and the county magistrate disregarded the truth and made such a judgment.
Hua Zhixian grabbed the shocking wood, slapped it more than ten times angrily, and almost smashed the shocking wood before stopping the noise in the lobby, Huazhixian raised his voice and said: "The case of Xu Lin beating Zhou Siyu, the head of our county's team, the facts are clear and the crime is true, and Xu Lin is sentenced to twenty canes!" ”
There was another commotion in the crowd, but although the punishment of the cane twenty was a little lighter, it was barely acceptable, not to mention...... Twenty rods to twenty rods, who beats and how, there is a lot of knowledge here, and if you beat it well, twenty rods can play the role of eighty rods, and it is possible to beat people to death in the court, and it is possible to be punished.
The soaps holding the canes on both sides clenched the water and fire sticks, and stepped forward one after another, making a gesture of invitation, but soon everyone automatically retreated, giving up their positions to the two with big shoulders and round waists and the most burly bodies.
Qi Mu's face sank, and he said angrily: "Do you want to be punished with a cane?" Is this a spanking in the ass, or a spanking in my face? ”
Meng Xiancheng hurriedly said: "Brother Qi, don't be annoyed, and listen to his sentence." After speaking, Meng Xiancheng gave Huazhi County a look. Hua Zhixian had already seen his reaction, and at first glance, he knew that Uncle Qi was not satisfied, Hua Zhixian's heart flashed, his tone was soothing, and he naturally turned around.
Hua Zhixian said: "However, considering Xu Lin's behavior, it is really a friendly brother, and the crime is unforgivable, and the circumstances are excusable, so it ...... He was exempted from the cane and sentenced to three months' detention. ”
Qi Mu said to Meng Xiancheng with a calm face: "Sentenced to criminal detention? No way! Whatever he asks him to do, it's a shame on me! ”
Meng Xiancheng said: "Brother Qi, Zhou Ban's head injury is so serious, it's not good if you don't judge." As for detention, detention or non-detention, non-detention, that's not my word? When the time comes, you don't have to do anything to discipline him, just stay for three months. ”
Qi Mu turned his face, stared at him and said, "I said...... No way! ”
Meng Xiancheng swallowed his saliva, turned to Huazhi County again, and glared at him with a more ferocious gaze, Huazhi County secretly complained: "This can't be done, but how can this county judge?" ”
Hua Zhixian thought about it for a while, and continued: "However, Xu Lin can redeem himself with silver, and if he can pay three taels of silver, he can be exempted from criminal detention." ”
Meng Xiancheng hurriedly looked at Qi Mu, Qi Mu smiled proudly, and said, "Qi has nothing else, but he is rich." Then redeem the silver. Hehe, three or two? Call Hanako, give him ten taels! Qi is generous enough, right? ”
Qi Mu didn't deliberately lower his voice in this sentence, obviously accepting the result, and didn't want people to think that he still ate turtles, so he intended to demonstrate. Hua Zhixian's face was hot, but he had no choice but to pretend that he hadn't heard it, and coughed: "Xu Lin, are you willing to pay the ransom silver?" ”
Xu Lin had already heard Qi Mu's words, straightened his chest, and said proudly: "Deliver!" Didn't our Uncle Qi say it all? He glanced contemptuously at the head of the Zhou squad who was so angry that his face was purple, and said with a smile: "How can you say that this is also the head of the county team, and it is not a call for Huazi, three taels is less, give him ten taels." ”
Hua Zhixian had already been embarrassed, so he grabbed the startled wood and slapped it, and shouted: "Xu Lin handed over the ransom money in the court, and he will be released!" Retire! ”
After that, without waiting for Soap Li to shout Tang Wei again, as soon as Hua Zhixian turned around, he hurriedly flashed behind the seat screen.
At this time, the court has become a pot of porridge, crying, laughing, scolding, shouting, and messing like a vegetable market. Master Wang shook his head, sighed softly, and was about to turn away, but his body was only halfway turned, and he suddenly stood again.
In the lobby, those people who looked bleak and at a loss suddenly quieted down, and gradually, there was silence in the lobby, and everyone appeared alone, he stood quietly at the door of the lobby on crutches, and his thin body was like a mountain!
P: Ah! The big counterattack is finally about to begin, hahaha......, what a savior, a beauty came down from the sky to help, your guesses are all wrong, please see how Xiaotian exerts great power. But...... Gotta wait until tomorrow to continue! Woo woo, last night I was so tired that people talked to me about things, I listened with my eyes closed, I always had to brew for an hour to fall asleep, and last night I dipped my pillow and immediately made a loud noise~~~
