Chapter 90: Decisive Decision
The flower feather taper hat originated from Xiao Jingye, the king of Liang Guokai.
Until then, the taper hat was only worn by poor people who worked in the sun all year round.
Xiao Jingye was born as a fisherman, he liked the taper hat since he was a child, and later became a general, so he improved the cone hat, added some red tassels, and added a flower feather, which looked a lot more noble, but the red and green, the taste has never been detached from the low-level taste.
In order to show their reverence for him, his descendants became popular in the royal family and aristocratic circles, and the so-called upward and downward effect slowly became a symbol of the Liang Kingdom.
The people of Liang are proud of this, but for heroes, whether in the past life or in this life, this hat is quite dazzling, and it must be hit hard and crushed into the dust.
But then again, King Liang Guokai's name is Xiao Jingye, and Xiao Chengan named his son Xiao Jianye. One is not dedicated and self-reliant, and the other has not built any business after becoming a gentleman, which is really ironic.
Moreover, didn't Liang Guo have a rule of shying away from the names of his elders? Xiao Chengan really doesn't love this little son ordinarily, but he pities his eldest son who has always been diligent.
Thinking of this, the hero's smile was a little colder.
Raising his hand to let the executioner Huwei retreat, he asked: "Xiao Jianye, today Zhao Dalang of Zhaojiazhuang has sued you for killing your father and taking your wife, can you plead guilty?" ”
Xiao Jianye is crying in Wow, where can he care about answering?
"If you don't speak, the envoy will acquiesce."
"Don't admit it!"
Xiao Chengan couldn't sit still any longer, rushed into the court, and said loudly: "My son is innocent and will never admit his guilt!" ”
The hero frowned and was displeased: "Xiao Chengan, this envoy is thinking of your son's heart, and I will not investigate you for contempt of the court for the time being, and step down!" ”
Xiao Chengan didn't move: "Now that my son can't speak, the old man is here to speak for him, why despise it?" Could it be that if the suspect is mute, His Highness will directly convict him? ”
"Who said your son couldn't speak, I should have seen him cry very loudly! Taking a step back, even if he can't speak, wouldn't he nod and shake his head? ”
Xiao Chengan was stunned: "He ...... He is crying bitterly because he has been wronged and tortured, and he has no strength to deal with His Highness's questioning! Or is this the purpose of His Highness's torture? ”
"It's easy to keep him from crying." The hero smiled, "Left and right, if Xiao Jianye cries, he will be stabbed once, and if he cries again, he will be stabbed twice, ......and so on."
Before he finished speaking, Xiao Jianye didn't dare to cry anymore.
"Look, your son is still listening to the envoy very carefully!"
As he spoke, the hero slapped the wood in shock, "Xiao Chengan, don't you retreat?" ”
Xiao Chengan was about to say something, when suddenly he caught a glimpse of a look, gritted his teeth, snorted coldly, and withdrew from the door with his sleeves.
"Xiao Jianye, this envoy will ask you again, can you plead guilty?"
Xiao Jianye shook his head vigorously.
"Good! I'm going to let you die today! Bring a witness. ”
After a while, four or five people were brought into the lobby one after another, and after introducing themselves, they were the left and right neighbors of the Zhao family Zhuang clan and Zhao Dalang.
There is no need for you to talk back and forth, as soon as the hero asked, these people told them everything they knew.
The content is basically the same, Xiao Jianye took people to Zhaojiazhuang to rob Liu Xiaomei, Zhao Dalang's father stepped forward to stop him, and was kicked down by Xiao Jianye, and his head hit the edge of the well and died.
Afterwards, the Xiao family sent people to Zhaojiazhuang, and each family gave five taels of silver, ordering everyone to keep their mouths shut, who dared to talk nonsense, the whole family died.
After listening, the hero waved his hand to let these people leave, and then asked coldly: "Xiao Jianye, what else do you have to say?" ”
Xiao Jianye yelled anxiously - his mouth was swollen and toothless, and no one could understand what he said.
Outside the door, Xiao Chengan's face had already darkened, and he was about to rush in regardless of it, when he saw Lu Jiancheng arching his hand to the hero and said, "Your Highness, those people are all Zhao Dalang's relatives. As the so-called 'relatives and relatives conceal each other', their testimony is usually not credible.
What's more, last time, Liu himself personally testified that Zhao Dalang was lying and falsely accused. ”
"The women were forced! The woman was pregnant with Brother Lang's child, and he forced me to say those things! ”
Liu Xiaomei pointed at Xiao Jianye angrily and said loudly, "If I don't agree to him, he will poison the child in the belly of the people's wife."
The women thought that the Xiao family was powerful, and it was impossible for Brother Da Lang to win, so in order to leave a bloodline for the Zhao family, the women had to agree to slander Brother Da Lang.
The women knew that they were sinful, and they did not seek to live, but only asked the adults to wait for the women to give birth to a child before they could be punished. ”
After speaking, she kowtowed, and Zhao Dalang, who was in pain, hurriedly hugged her tightly.
The couple hugged their heads and cried.
"Then Liu, can anyone testify to what you said?"
Lu Jiancheng asked, as if he had become the chief judge, but the hero didn't stop him, just looked at it with a smile.
"Yes!" Liu Xiaomei said, "At that time, Xiao Jianye's maids Xiaohong and Xiaocui were present, and they lied to me that I drank poison. ”
"Take Xiaohong Xiaocui to the court!" This time, the hero didn't wait for Lu Jiancheng to speak again.
Soon, Xiaohong and Xiaocui were brought up, and when they passed by Xiao Chengan, the two little girls both shrank their necks and bowed their heads, not daring to look at him.
Looking at the appearance of the two, Xiao Chengxin suddenly felt a deep uneasiness, but he still didn't want to believe that these two slaves and maids who had been raised in the Xiao family since childhood would betray him.
However, he soon discovers that things are completely out of touch with reality, like a nightmare that is ridiculous to the extreme.
Xiaohong Xiaocui confirmed Liu Xiaomei's statement, and there was no hesitation or ambiguity during the period, even how Xiao Jianye's companions came up with ideas and how they ordered them, they were all truthfully recruited.
asked the two maids to be escorted down, and the hero looked at Lu Jiancheng with a smile: "Uncle Lu, do you have anything else to ask?" ”
Lu Jiancheng was silent for a moment and said, "That IOU ......"
"Bring the relevant people of Tianjiu Gambling Room, etc.!"
As soon as the hero's words came out, Lu Jiancheng's eyes quickly flashed a fine light, and he shook his head without a trace.
Unsurprisingly, the shopkeeper of the casino admitted to forging the IOU. Of course, the main messenger is Xiao Jianye.
At this point, there was no need to continue, so the hero was shocked and announced the verdict in a deep voice.
"This case has come to light, Xiao Jianye saw that he wanted to rob the people's daughter, committed murder first, and fabricated evidence, coerced and enticed, trying to escape the blame, full of evil, and heinous!
Sentence it to death!
Come, let the envoy take him down, wait for three o'clock in the afternoon, and execute him! ”
Xiao Chengan was shocked when he heard this, but before he could make a move, his arm was suddenly grabbed tightly, and when he turned his face, he saw that it was Mr. Yubai.
"Think twice, it's useless to go in at this time, and it will also involve the lord in prison, which is probably the purpose of the hero allowing you to observe."
In the public hall, Lu Jiancheng, who was also shocked, spoke: "Your Highness, according to the criminal law of our Shuangzhou, all capital crime sentences must be reviewed by the Criminal Trial Department, and only after they are correct can they be beheaded, and there is no precedent for beheading!" ”
"Uncle Lu's words are wrong, it's the autumn queen now, if you don't cut it at this time, will you have to wait until next year?" The curvature of the corners of the hero's mouth was extremely cold.
"Besides, there is no precedent, so let's start with this highness.
His Royal Highness is the Governor of His Majesty's own order, and he has the right to be arbitrary.
This is the end of this matter, no further discussion, retirement! ”
