Chapter 296: Guilty and Guilty

At noon the next day, Liu Lingyu, the right-hand thrifty imperial historian of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, arrived in Taiyuan, and as an official who had been ordered to come to Taiyuan to participate in the trial, he rushed into Shanxi without even resting his feet after entering the city, and did not come out for a whole afternoon.

Shanxi officialdom, which has been increasingly restored after the Great Creation, is watching, and all the officials feel the murderous smell of this imperial history from Beijing, and it is self-evident who is targeted.

Sure enough, on the evening of the same day, according to the announcement issued by the Yamen of the Inspectorate Division, Lu Jiu, the officer of the Sanwei Military Battalion, threatened with his life and forced Hu Ergou to tamper with the facts and provide false evidence to help the prisoner Zhang Shi get away with the crime, and after deliberation, it was decided to punish him for false accusation. Once the false accusation of the Ming Dynasty is verified, it will be the one who sits on the false accusation, and it will be added. In other words, the conviction and sentencing of Lu Jiu depends on the conviction and sentencing of Zhang Shi.

In other words, if Zhang Shi was convicted of being exiled for 3,000 miles, then Lu Jiu would be exiled for 6,000 miles. If Zhang Shi is convicted of beheading the prisoner, then Lu Jiu may be beheaded or beheaded.

Anyway, the two of them have been tied together, and they want to die together, and they want to be exiled together. At the same time, he also gave an opinion, urging the presiding judge Zhang Fangyan to conclude the case and make a judgment in the second trial without delay.

Zhang Fangyan made it clear that as long as the facts are clear and the evidence is correct, the jury can be sentenced by jury vote in accordance with the "Court Regulations"!

The news soon spread to the residence of the chief soldier outside the south gate of the inner city.

"Liu Lingyu's house is clearly embarrassed by our three guards, and that Lu Sizhen, the fox's tail finally leaked out, and the two hit it off, and the wolf bรจi is a traitor......"

The more Master Guo spoke, the more unpleasant it became, and in the end he scolded him.

When the lantern was in hand, Li Xin's cronies did not go back to their respective mansions to rest, but gathered in the General Military Mansion, and Cheng Mingjiu appeased Master Guo's affection.

"Master Guo, that's not what I said, Lord Lu hasn't done anything out of the ordinary so far. To say something inappropriate, it's our Lu battalion officer who did something inappropriate this time......"

"Fart! Did Lu Jiu do something inappropriate? Zhang Shi fought to the death for the imperial court, what happened in the end? The daughter-in-law was abducted, and she was ...... Alas......"

In the end, Master Guo's originally excited love fell down abruptly, and he let out a long sigh.

Master Guo scolded and shouted, that is, Cheng Mingjiu had a good temper and did not fight with him, but only laughed and laughed.

"Gotcha, gotcha. Just scold a few words and get addicted, do you have the ability to go out and draw two circles with Commander Cheng, just playing tricks, are you a man? โ€

Li Xin counted Master Guo for a while, and then talked about tonight's business. Now Li Xin is headache one after another, just now Huang Sheng sent back the news from Zhili, the first batch of Yumai seeds will arrive in Taiyuan two days later. And Zhang Shi's case has entered a dead end, if the lawsuit is completely lost, not only will the two generals have to be folded in, I am afraid that even the foundation of the foothold in Shanxi will be shaken, and the newly formed joint trading company will collapse in an instant.

After all, Zhang Shi's crime was a murder case, and the stolen goods were obtained together, and the facts were clear, if the case was decided by conventional methods, even the lightest punishment would be exiled, which Li Xin did not want to see, so he tried to delay the time with a jury trial, and waited for the spring ploughing and wheat summer to harvest, and then freed up his hands to clean up the mess, but he was unexpectedly mixed up by Lu Jiu's stupid behavior.

Master Guo, who had calmed down, said to Li Xin again, "General, there is only one way now......

The next day, the court reopened, Zhang Fangyan came to the court early, and Lu Sizhen accompanied Liu Lingyu, the right man of the Imperial Court, to listen to the meeting, but this time the King of Jin was delayed, and even the eunuchs of the palace did not come, Xu was frightened by the gendarmes that day and did not want to come again, but whether he attended or not did not affect the trial process of the entire case.

As Zhang Shi's lawyer, Master Guo spoke first and proposed a new situation.

"Han Qiaoniang, the wife of the defendant Zhang Shi, was two months pregnant when she was killed!"

This is a drama in an uproar, since Han Qiaoniang is already pregnant with a child, that stone can bear to do it, Han Qiaoniang is her own flesh and blood in her belly. But then I felt that there seemed to be something wrong with this judgment, didn't Zhang Shi know that Han Qiaoniang was pregnant? However, this judgment seems to be more inappropriate than before. For a while, there was a lot of discussion and buzzing in the "courtroom".

"Silence! Quiet! โ€

Zhang Fangyan snapped the startled wood and maintained order in the "courtroom".

immediately warned Master Guo again.

"Do you know that the courtroom is a solemn place, and those who speak falsely are punished?"

Master Guo said: "I naturally know that the villain dares to guarantee with the head of the item, and everything said here is true, and none of it is false!" โ€

Zhang Fangyan nodded, signaling Master Guo to continue.

"When Han Qiaoniang died, she was already two months pregnant, which can be confirmed by the Chengxi Medical Center, and if you have any doubts, you can also ask for an autopsy. And the defendant Zhang Shishi left Zhending as early as the sixth day of the first lunar month, and it was nearly four months after he picked up Han Qiaoniang to Taiyuan! โ€

In the courtroom, it was boiling again, and some people even questioned whether the so-called rape existed, and most people thought that it was possible for the rape to exist, but Zhang Shi killed the two without catching the rape on the spot, which was obviously against the Ming criminal law.

However, since Master Guo said that Han Qiaoniang was pregnant with a child, and her husband Zhang Shi had gone to Datong during the pregnancy, so whose child is it? This is undoubtedly telling the world that the children in Han Qiaoniang's house are all rapes.

This time, even Zhang Fangyan forgot to maintain order, and his hand was only holding the shocking wood, but in his heart he was shocked by the mystery that Master Guo had revealed. Let's ask, if a man learns that his wife has broken the adulterer's seed, who can calm down?

Master Guo did not intend to stop there, but continued to fan the flames.

"Just when Han Qiaoniang and the adulterer were enjoying the joy of fish and water, do you know where Zhang Shi is and what he is doing? I will tell you, according to the time calculation, at that time, Zhang Shi was commanding the local people to resist the siege of the 100,000-strong army in Daizhou City! โ€

Master Guo raised his right hand and gestured for a while, his tone aggravated.

"A whole 100,000 thieves, he guarded it for nearly a month! He used his life to defend the court and the people's homeland, but his fellow brothers were really sleeping with his woman, and he also let his woman conceive a wild seed! โ€

"Say no more!"

Zhang Shishi, who had been silent, suddenly broke out and stopped Master Guo from talking!

And everyone in the "court" was silent, with Zhang Shi's actions in this rebellion and chaos, he was definitely worthy of the word hero, but the cruel reality made the hero shed blood and tears.

Almost everyone was silently sympathizing with this man who had endured too much humiliation, and the atmosphere of Zhang Shi's bullying created by Hu Ergou's confession and Lu Jiu's coercion was swept away.

As a witness, Hu Ergou felt the change in the atmosphere in the "court", and he didn't care about the rules, so he sharply refuted Master Guo.

"You are talking nonsense, it is obvious that Han Qiaoniang seduced me!"

As soon as this remark came out, it was even more shocking, which also confirmed the impression that Hu Ergou's character was extremely corrupt, the so-called great death, no matter how watery Yang Hua Han was, shameless and obscene, she was already dead, and put all the responsibility on a dead person, or a dead woman, you can imagine how bad Hu Ergou's character is. Even with the evidence he made, there are people who doubt whether it is true.

Master Guo is very satisfied with this effect, he knows that his pathos table has worked!

When it was Tian Fuzhen's turn to express his opinion, any questions and Chen Ci were dwarfed and pale in front of Master Guo's tragic performance, and he had to hastily end the interrogation and speech.

Zhang Fangyan fulfilled his promise to Liu Lingyu and Lu Sizhen, announced an adjournment, and after noon tomorrow, a jury will raise his hand to vote on whether Zhang Shishi is guilty of murder, and then announce the verdict in court!

After retiring from the court, Mi Yan's love was already very high, and at the same time he was very frustrated, because he found that Zhang Shi had indeed violated the laws of the Ming Dynasty and killed Han Qiaoniang without catching him on the spot, but in fact it was understandable.

"What do you think of today's trial?"

"The facts of the case are clear, the evidence is sufficient and conclusive, according to the law, as long as Zhang Shi is convicted, he will at least be sentenced to exile!"

Mi Yan stared at Lu Huizhong tightly, and Lu Huizhong changed his words, "But Zhang Shi shed blood and tears for the sake of the court and the people, how can my generation make the warriors dust?" โ€

"Mi Yan and Brother Zi'an have the same opinion, they must not make the warriors dust! What do you think of Hu Ergou, Brother Zi'an? โ€

Lu Huizhong snorted coldly, "This person is ruthless, unrighteous, capricious, and his testimony is often repeated, it is really not credible!" If I were the judge, I would have condemned him and punished him!" He deserves to be a rootless person, if it is really a cycle of heaven, karma, and repeated trials! โ€

Mi Yan high-fived and praised: "Brother Zi'an speaks well!" Hu Ergou is insignificant, but we can't let the government make relatives hurt again, look at the quick thing, Mi Yan decided to make Zhang Shi innocent, Brother Zi'an wants to be together? โ€

When Lu Huizhong heard this, he also said freely: "It is incumbent on you to open your eyes for the warriors!" Huizhong is willing to work with Brother Yuan! โ€

The hands of the two young men hit one place again enthusiastically!

At noon the next day, the "court" was for life, and a jury voted to make the final vote on whether Zhang Shishi was convicted of murder. Everyone stared nervously at the eleven people on the jury, voting on a registered note to write whether they were guilty or not, and then the presiding judge withheld their names and sang the results of the vote one by one.

Zhang Fangyan's beard trembled and finally read out the result, "The jury voted unanimously with a large ratio of ten to one...... Tong guรฒ, Zhang Shi was convicted of murder! In view of the extenuating circumstances, the presiding judge pronounced the verdict and gave preferential treatment and exiled to Yunnan...... Ordered Lu Jiu to be falsely accused and punished......"

Zhang Fangyan couldn't listen to what Mi Yan on the jury bench couldn't listen to, he only turned his head to look at Lu Huizhong, who was a few people away......
