Chapter 361: Courage and Conscience

In the hall of the Xichun County Ya, there was silence, everyone's eyes were focused on Hu Qian's body, some people saw her delicate body trembling slightly, and they didn't know that she was suffering from the pain of the war between heaven and man in her heart, and thought that she was just frightened by the solemn and majestic aura in the hall.

"Hu Qian's!" Situ waited quietly for a while, and when he saw that the woman didn't speak, he couldn't help but shout in a deep voice: "This official asked you, but you still didn't recruit from the truth?" What happened on that day? ”

Hu Qian raised his head slightly, his pale pretty face looked pitiful, and he glanced at Han Mo, and his face suddenly showed hesitation and complexity.

Situ Jing coughed and said slowly: "Hu Qian, don't be afraid, I called you over today, just to let you tell the truth as it is, you are a victim, and we will not embarrass you." We are here to administer justice to you, and you know best who is right and who is wrong...... If you speak carefully, no one will dare to trouble you. ”

He Xuezhi squinted his eyes and smiled: "Yes, Hu Qian, if you have anything to say, it doesn't hurt for you to say it, today I and all the elders and adults of the clan came to hear the trial, just to make the decision for you." ”

Hu Qian's eyes were a little red, and finally said, "It was ...... that day Be......! Everyone looked at her and waited for her to come out by name.

saw Hu Qian glance hurriedly at a corner, biting his lip lightly, still hesitating.

She glanced at it in a hurry, and few people paid attention to it, but Han Mo saw it in her eyes, and looked at her gaze quietly, only to see that in the side passage of the lobby, there was a curtain, and the curtain opened a corner, and it seemed that someone was peeping at the back.

Han Mo frowned at first, then seemed to understand something, and waved back, Xiao Mu immediately approached, Han Mo leaned closer to his ear, and after a while, Xiao Mu's expression was calm, nodded slightly, and without saying much, he walked straight out of the lobby.

No one knew what Xiao Mu was going to do, He Xuezhi and Situ Jing glanced at each other, their eyes were full of doubts, and they didn't know what the hell Han Mo, the little fox, was going to do.

Everyone waited for a while, and when they saw that Hu Qianshi still didn't speak, Situ Jing wanted to reprimand him again, and finally saw Hu Qianshi kneeling on the ground, standing upright, with a crisp chest and a straight chest, his expression was extremely resolute, and his voice was a little cold: "Back to the words of your lords, the incident of the day, the folk woman was indeed the party concerned, and she was indeed insulted by the frivolous people, leading to the murder case." ”

"Good!" Situ Jing saw Hu Qian's mouth speak, his expression became happy, and he said excitedly: "Hu Qian's, tell everyone what happened that day from beginning to end!" ”

Hu Qian proudly straightened his chest and said loudly: "My lords, the women didn't have any rations that day, it was the rice porridge that the big men gave disaster relief, and they only had one meal in two days, and our orphans and widows didn't have many turns, and they were about to starve to death." On that day, Song Dutou took people to collect the corpse, and when he passed by the tent of the people's woman, Xu thought about the woman, took out a piece of bread, and asked the woman to exchange her body for his piece of bread ......! ”

When she said this, there was an uproar all around, Situ Jing and He Xuezhi suddenly changed color, and many officials and elders in the hall also changed their expressions.

They could not have imagined that this little ant-like woman would dare to disobey their orders and speak like this in the public court.

Of course, they will not understand that in this world, every life has the self-esteem that he insists on in his heart, the dignity that no one can desecrate.

Dignity has nothing to do with a person's origin or gender, or with his age or status.

So they couldn't understand why Hu Qian dared to throw everything away at this time and insist on saying these things that surprised them.

Han Mo was also quite surprised when he heard Hu Qian say this.

He naturally knew in his heart that Hu Qian's appearance in this court was a conspiracy carefully planned by Situ Jing and his group, and he was afraid that he had already used all tricks behind his back, coercing and luring, wanting Hu Qian to become a tool for them to deal with him.

A weak woman, an orphan and a widow, if she really succumbed to the power of Situ Jing's group and testified her guilt in the lobby, Han Mo would never blame her.

Everyone, in order to protect the people they need to protect, will always do something that is forced to happen.

But today's answer made by this woman gave Han Mo a deeper understanding of human nature, in this world, not everyone's mind is extremely dark, there are still many people who have the correct assessment of right and wrong, good and evil, and they have the courage to make the right choice.

At this time, Han Mo looked at the woman, and only felt that at this moment, Hu Qian's demeanor overshadowed all the women in the world.

"You...... What nonsense are you talking about? Situ Jing was ashamed and angry, and shouted: "You are a bad woman, you dare to make up lies to deceive us in the court!" ”

Han Mo stood up suddenly, looked at Situ Jing coldly, and shouted, "Situ Jing, what nonsense are you talking about?" ”

His expression was cold, like an enraged cheetah, looking at Situ Jing like a prey, and his eyes were full of fierceness at this time. Han Mo has always given people the feeling of being gentle and elegant, and his appearance is gentle, but at this time, he is suddenly angry, and his expression is even more intense, and the voice is even more neutral, spreading far away, and many people are frightened by this shout.

Situ Jing was also stunned, although he had always had a grudge against Han Mo, but in his heart, if there was no fear, then with his identity, there could be no resentment, if Han Mo was an ordinary person, Situ Jing would have hundreds of ways to reduce his resentment, it was precisely because he was afraid of Han Mo, afraid of Han Mo's identity as a child of the family and a grain protector, so his resentment could only be accumulated in his heart, Han Mo's sudden roar actually made his eyes cross the color of fear.

has followed He Xuezhi for too long, as the county guard of Yichun, but everything has to be at the mercy of He Xuezhi, he has developed a servile nature, and the backbone he once had has already gone to the clouds.

"Han Mo, you ...... Above the court, what are you shouting about? "There are people in the hall and in the hall, Situ Jing was scolded by Han Mo in person, he couldn't hold his face, he was also the guard of a county, how could he be so embarrassed, so he stiffened his neck and shouted.

Han Mo sneered: "Before Hu Qian's words were finished, you scolded her for talking nonsense, but I don't know what evidence Lord Situ used to prove that she was talking nonsense?" She was the person concerned about the things that day, and she experienced that thing, and what she said was naturally true. Could it be that accusing Song Che'er of bullying her is nonsense, and accusing me of insulting her is to state the facts? Lord Situ, you are so reasonable, I, Han Mo, am really confused. ”

Situ Jing was stunned, but he didn't know how to refute.

He found the witness, and now the testimony does not follow his own requirements, and this can only be shooting himself in the foot.

"Hu Qian, you go on!" Han Mo looked at Hu Qian and said gently: "If you have anything to do that day, you can tell these adults and men one by one, so that they can know what happened at that time." ”

Hu Qian resolutely said: "Yes." On that day, Song Dutou wanted to exchange the body of the woman for a big cake, and the woman could only promise him in order for the child to live, but he cut the clothes of the woman in public, and was seen by General Han, General Han came forward to question, but Song Dutou was disrespectful, and General Han cut off Song Dutou's head with a knife. What the women said is true, if there is a little falsehood, the women will not die well, and they will not be reincarnated forever! ”

Her oath can be regarded as extremely vicious, and when the people outside the hall heard it, they immediately believed that what Hu Qian said must be the truth, and even some officials and elders in the hall who did not know the true situation of the matter also felt that what Hu Qian said was true.

Ling Lei stood up and said with a smile: "Okay, now the matter is clear." Looking at Song Che'er's family who was kneeling next to him, he said in a sharp voice: "Lord Situ, these Diao people dare to falsely accuse General Han, they should be imprisoned and tortured. Slandering the officials of the imperial court, wantonly slandering, and distorting the facts, these crimes are not light, right? ”

Han Mo glanced at He Xueyi, who had a somewhat gloomy expression, and then said: "Lord Situ, the merits, Hu Qian has already stated it, I think I, Han Mo, should be innocent in this matter, right?" ”

Situ Jing had a gloomy face and glanced at He Xuezhi, who said lightly: "Lord Situ, since the witnesses you found have proved General Han's innocence, what else is there to say?" Whoever should be investigated, then be arrested and put in prison, and let them know the fate of slandering the court officials! His face was stunned, and he shouted: "Come on, detain Song Che'er's family and put them in prison!" ”

The yacha immediately stepped forward and brought Song Che'er's family, who was crying and screaming, down.

At this moment, they heard a strange sound from the side passage of the lobby, and then heard a low groan of pain, everyone suddenly had a strange thing, and their eyes turned to the side passage, only to see that the curtain was opened, and Xiao Mu, who was dressed in military uniform, slowly came out of it, and even held a child who was a little more than a year old in his arms.

Everyone was stunned.

Han Mo smiled and stepped forward to take the child, only to see that the child had clear eyebrows and milky milk, as if he was shocked, although he didn't cry, but his little face was a little stunned, and a pair of dark eyes stared at Han Mo.

Han Mo smiled slightly, the child actually smiled at Han Mo, it was very cute, Han Mo liked it even more, gently kissed the child's forehead, and said softly: "It's okay...... It's all over, don't be afraid, baby! Holding the child, he walked to Hu Qianshi, who was a little stunned, and said warmly: "Sister-in-law Hu, get up!" ”

Hu Qianshi heard Han Mo call her "Sister-in-law Hu", and while she was shy, she was quite frightened, and said, "The people's woman...... Women ......! "For a while, I didn't know what to say.

After thinking about it a few times, she finally did not betray her conscience, maintained her last dignity, and resolutely testified for Han Mo, and her heart was extremely painful at that time.

In her opinion, as long as she testifies for Han Mo, her son will definitely not be protected, but she really didn't expect to see her child alive in front of her at this time, and she was so happy for a while, tears rolled down.
