Chapter 61: Morality and Thin Noodles

Previous Chapter

"My lord, the deceased was a scoundrel when he was alive, he led a group of his subordinates to Qiao's restaurant, in order to rob Qiao's daughter, Gao Wuji came out out of righteous indignation. Moreover, the deceased held a knife before his death and had murderous intentions towards Gao Wuji, Gao Wuji punched him with his bare hands, so he punched him to death in a hurry. Gao Wuji's murder is true, but it is reasonable everywhere, and I hope that adults will learn from it! ”

In the court, Xiao Ruixue told Qian Lun the truth of the matter.

"Yes." Qian Lun looked serious, and asked a few kneeling people in the court: "Plaintiff, is this young man's words true?" Did the deceased Jiang Biao do anything about robbing people's daughters? ”

"My lord, it's definitely not true! I waited to go to the Qiao's restaurant just to drink, this kid is in league with the murderer, and he made up some lies to deceive the adults in order to exonerate him! Our eldest brother died unjustly! ”

Li Worm and Dwarf Tiger angrily pointed at those splashes and scolded: "How dare you spew blood? ”

Not to be outdone: "Killing people pays for their lives, it's right, don't think about beating a rake!" ”

"Silence!" Qian Lun was shocked, and when he subdued both sides, he said unhurriedly: "Both sides are involved with the deceased and the defendant, and what they say is one-sided, and the official must not be biased!" All the truth must wait for Qiao's father and daughter to go to court before it can be revealed, Liang Zhutou, can someone be sent to summon Qiao's father and daughter? ”

"If you go back to your lordship, it has already been sent, but Qiao's restaurant is far away from the yamen, and they should still be on the road at this time."

Qian Lun nodded: "In this case, let's wait until we arrive, and then retire for the time being!" With that, he patted the wood, got up and walked to the back hall.

Entering the back hall, Jiang Lian, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately greeted him, and when he saw him, he knelt down and said with a sneer: "The master has worked hard!" ”

Qian Lun only glanced at him lightly, and said in a light tone: "This official has always paid attention to fairness and strictness, and the trial of cases is only done in accordance with the laws of Dachu, and there are some things you must know how to do!" ”

"The villain understands, thank you master!" Jiang repeatedly kowtowed, watching Qian Lun leave.

At this time, the door of the Qiao family restaurant was closed, and the three members of the Qiao family in the building looked at the officials in front of them with swords trembling.

"Qiao Lao'er, when your father and daughter go to court, do you know how to speak?"

Uncle Qiao cringed: "Clear, understood!" ”

The officials put away their knives and said with a smile: "It's good to know each other, then let's go!" ”

It is said that after Qian Lun retired from the hall, he returned to the study, and the housekeeper of the Qian Mansion suddenly came to report: "Master, King Zhao is here!" ”

When Qian Lun heard this, his eyes were cloudy, and his eyes fell on Gu Kaizhi's "Luo Shen Futu".

Seeing that Qian Lun didn't answer for a long time, the housekeeper didn't dare to make a mistake, so he only stood outside the door respectfully. After a long time, the housekeeper heard a slight hum in the house, and the door opened, and the housekeeper couldn't help but look at Qian Lun's hand, only to see that the "Luo Shen Futu" was still intact, which couldn't help but surprise him.

Qian Lun seemed to be muttering to himself, and seemed to be comforting himself: "Let me give up some things, and I will get what I want!" ”

In the main hall of the Qian Mansion, Sun Jun was sitting upright drinking tea, and Qian Lun suddenly walked in with a warm spring breeze: "Oh, His Royal Highness King Zhao, I've kept you waiting for a long time!" ”

Sun Jun put down the teacup, looked at Qian Lun and smiled: "It's not a long wait, how precious is "Luo Shen Futu", it is worth waiting for a while!" ”

"Your Highness, you are suspicious that the lower officials are reluctant to hand over the "Luo Shen Futu"!" Qian Lun shook his head and smiled, and then said: "Yesterday, His Highness was highly skilled, which made His Highness lose convincingly!" Since he gambled on the contract first, how could the lower officials break their promises? After speaking, he handed the scroll in his hand to Sun Jun.

Sun Jun carefully unfolded the picture scroll, and after confirming that it was genuine, he couldn't help but be overjoyed: "Lord Qian is willing to gamble and lose, and he is so refreshing, he is really a gentleman with a high wind and bright festival!" ”

"Your Highness has won the prize!" Qian Lun smiled and watched Sun Jun hand over the scroll to his entourage to collect, and at this time, a staff member came to inform him that the father and daughter of the Qiao family had arrived in court, so he arched his hand towards Sun Jun: "Your Highness, I'm really sorry, there happens to be a case to be tried by the lower officials today, and the lower officials can't accompany them for a long time!" ”

Sun Jun smiled and got up: "It's okay, this king is just an idler, how dare he disturb Lord Qian's business, then this king will leave first!" ”

"Your Highness!" Qian Lun politely got up to send him off.

"You're welcome! By the way, I don't know what case Lord Qian is trying today? ”

"A homicide."

"Oh, homicides?" Sun Jun suddenly turned around, with a look of interest: "Lord Qian, I wonder if this king can listen to this case?" ”

"This-" Qian Lun couldn't help but groan slightly.

"Wei ~ Wu ~ " Tang Wei rose again, and Gao Wuji was taken to court again.

Xiao Ruixue, Li Worm, and Dwarf Tiger were in place again, and several of the plaintiffs on the other side were also present, this time the difference was that there were two more father and daughter of the Qiao family in the court.

However, the plaintiff, the defendant, and the witnesses were all complete, but Qian Lun, who was the Yin of Jinling Mansion, had not shown up for a long time, and there were several officials in the scene who moved a screen and arranged it directly on the court.

After a long time, everyone was surprised to find that someone was sitting directly on a chair behind the screen, and there were several people standing straight next to him. Through the thin screen, everyone could roughly see the outlines of those people, but they couldn't see their faces clearly.

Xiao Ruixue, Li Worm and the others looked at each other, not knowing what was going on, and before they could think about it, Qian Lun appeared again, he nodded at the person behind the screen, and after getting his response, he patted the hall in shock: "Who is in the hall?" ”

This is a procedure that must be followed, and Gao Wuji can only reply again: "Cao people Gao Wuji." ”

"What did you do?"

"The grass people eliminate harm for the people, and they kill people after a moment's mistake." Gao Wuji learned to be smart this time, first mentioning eliminating harm for the people, and then mentioning killing.

"Smack!" As soon as there was a shocking sound, Qian Lun's face was full of majesty: "Ignorant people! Whether or not to eliminate harm for the people is not to listen to your one-sided words, but also to be judged after careful trial by this official! ”

Gao Wuji was startled, so he didn't dare to speak again.

Qian Lun slapped the stunned wood again: "Where are Qiao's father and daughter?" ”

When Qiao's father and daughter heard the summons, they couldn't help but tremble: "The grass people (people's daughters) are here." ”

"Raise your head first!"

Qiao's father and daughter had no choice but to look up, Qian Lun looked fixedly, and saw that Qiao Needle Niang was delicate and lovely, without losing a small jasper, but she lowered her eyebrows and was a little pitiful, Qian Lun secretly said in her heart: "This little lady looks acceptable, but it's a pity that she is a village girl who can't be on the stage, hum!" ”

"This official asked your father and daughter, did Gao Wuji's murder happen in your Qiao's restaurant?"

Qiao's father and daughter nodded.

"Have you two seen it with your own eyes?"

Qiao's father and daughter nodded again.

Xiao Ruixue suddenly spoke: "My lord, is it a little inappropriate for you to ask such questions?" ”

"Bold! This official has his own sense of proportion, so why use you to teach? ”

"The grass people don't dare."

Qian Lun's tone softened next: "Qiao's father and daughter, you two don't have to be too nervous, the official only asks you the truth, and you only need to answer truthfully, don't care about the rest!" ”

"Yes."

"The official asked you, why did the deceased Jiang Biao go to your restaurant yesterday? Is it to eat and drink or to rob people's girls? ”

After listening to Qian Lun's question, Qiao's father and daughter were silent.

Is this hard to answer? All you have to do is tell us the truth! ”

"Back to my lord, they-"

"They're here to eat and drink!" Uncle Qiao directly interrupted his daughter's words and said directly in one breath.

As soon as he finished saying this, Gao Wuji's face was full of incredulity, and Li Worm and Dwarf Tiger exploded directly.

"Uncle Qiao, you won't be old and confused, right?"

"Uncle Qiao, you can't speak with your conscience, Wuji killed people for you! How much do you really receive from the other person? ”

However, no matter how they accused, Uncle Qiao just bowed his head and said nothing, and Qiao Zhenniang couldn't cry there.

The splashes laughed one by one: "Haha, the truth is revealed!" What do you dare to say about eliminating harm for the people, there is no such thing at all, and the father of the little lady himself does not admit it! ”

"Silence!" Another shocking sound sounded, and Qian Lun said with a straight face: "Gao Wuji, do you have anything to say about this?" ”

Gao Wuji couldn't say a word at the moment.

"This official strives to be fair and strict in everything, and does not want to misjudge an unjust case, if you really feel that you are innocent, this official will give you a little more time to think about it, but what witnesses or evidence can be taken out to prove yourself!"

Behind the screen, the guards on Sun Jun's side said to Sun Jun: "This Qian Mansion Yin is really good!" ”

Sun Jun couldn't help but nodded.

On the witness's side, Qiao Zhenniang couldn't control her tears, she pulled Uncle Qiao's shirt and whispered: "Dad, it's so inhuman for us to do this!" ”

Uncle Qiao couldn't even raise his head, he only sighed lightly: "Child, it's a father or not a person, it has nothing to do with you, who let your mother still be in their hands!" ”

After a long time, seeing that Gao Wuji still didn't say a word, Qian Lun said: "Gao Wuji, if you really have nothing to say, then the official can only sentence you to intentional homicide, this is already the queen of autumn, this crime is certain, but you can't wait for the next year!" ”

"Wait, my lord, I have something to say!"

Qian Lun glanced at the speaker and said lightly, "What do you have to say?" ”

Xiao Ruixue said: "Can my lord allow me to stand up and say a few words to the witness?" ”

Qian Lun was slightly stunned, he glanced at the direction of the screen, and nodded.

"Thank you, sir!" Xiao Ruixue got up and walked to Uncle Qiao, looking at Uncle Qiao, who had been bowing her head, she said in a tone that everyone could hear but was very flat: "Uncle Qiao, maybe you have your troubles." ”

Uncle Qiao's body trembled slightly, and he couldn't help but raise his head.

Xiao Ruixue continued: "But I still have to say that there is no shortage of morality in this world, and there are people who defend morality but don't want to reciprocate, but if you destroy this morality yourself, then next time your daughter is in danger, who else will help you?" ”

Qian Lun was shocked: "Presumptuous, you dare to coerce and lure witnesses in public!" ”

Xiao Ruixue said: "My lord, everyone can hear what I said, but I don't know which sentence is coercion and which sentence is temptation?" ”

Qian Lun was speechless for a while.

At this time, the guard behind the screen said, "Your Highness, I feel that there seems to be something hidden here. ”

Sun Jun groaned slightly: "Let's see what Lord Qian does!" ”

As soon as Sun Jun's words were finished, applause suddenly erupted among the people watching from the periphery of the court, and someone shouted: "This little brother said well!" My lord, in fact, I was also present at the time, and I can testify that Gao Wuji did kill someone out of grievances, and he was wronged! ”

"Oh, I was there at the time, and I can testify too!"

All of a sudden, the people suddenly erupted, and there were really many witnesses who were present yesterday. It's just that because it is a human life lawsuit, and one of the parties is a bullie, everyone is afraid of getting into trouble, and the government has not taken the initiative to investigate, so these people naturally chose to remain silent, and they are only here today to see the result.

However, Xiao Ruixue's words just now were not only said to Uncle Qiao, but also to everyone. Xiao Ruixue is betting on people's conscience, she doesn't want everyone to be driven by conscience, but as long as one person responds, it will be enough. So far, she has made the right bet.

"Silence!" Qian Lun took a picture of the shocked wood again, he ignored the reactions of the people outside the door, and asked Uncle Qiao again: "Old Man Qiao, you are the most direct party and witness, do you have anything to say?" ”

Uncle Qiao burst into tears: "My lord, I want to tell the truth, Gao Wuji is indeed wronged!" ”

Qian Lun couldn't help but take a deep breath.

The back hall of the yamen.

Sun Jun applauded and laughed: "My Dachu people are really good, and they dare to come out and speak up at a critical time!" ”

Qian Lun also stroked his beard and smiled: "Yes, the people's hearts are simple, but Your Majesty has been educated in a good way, and it has also allowed the lower officials to avoid an unjust case!" ”

"Those pungent bullies are really hateful, Lord Qian must give them something to see!"

"This has to be the case."

"Hmm. What does Master Qian say about Gao Wuji's plan? ”

"Although Gao Wuji was uneven, he still killed people after all! According to my Great Chu law, the capital crime can be avoided, but exile should be inevitable. Uh, His Highness seems to have some disagreement, huh? Seeing that Sun Jun's face was a little disapproving, Qian Lun hurriedly turned the conversation around.

"Lord Qian, the law is nothing more than human affection!"

"This-"

"Lord Qian, the people's hearts are rare, please also give this king a thin noodle!" Sun Jun smiled faintly.
