Chapter Eighty-Six: Confronting in Court
Since Steward Liu became the steward of Zhongzheng Mixing, how could he have encountered such an unreasonable thing? When he was caught, he subconsciously resisted: "Who are you?" I am the willow steward of Zhongzheng Mixing, you dare to touch a hair of my hair! ”
Huo, I haven't woken up yet, I can't recognize such a unique official uniform!
The thin servant grinned and increased the strength of his arm, and said, "We are your grandfather!" I'm here for tea! ”
"I'm not going, I'm not going! Lao Hong! "Steward Liu struggled desperately.
Steward Hong stood aside with his head down, not daring to pay attention to his master at all, watching Steward Liu being taken away, looking at the attitude of these officials, I am afraid that the matter is not small, it seems that he has to prepare for the way back, Steward Hong thought to himself.
In fact, he really misunderstood, the reason why the officials have such a bad attitude towards the Liu stewards is that they are all angry, they come and go in the wind and rain every day in order to catch thieves and find witnesses, I thought that today was an easy errand, who knew that the Liu family had this attitude, and it was just enough to send someone to stop them, and they didn't even know how to serve a cup of tea and snacks, so let them stand in the sun and listen to the reasons of those subordinates, how could they not be angry?
Anyway, it's also an official errand, when did they come out to arrest people, and the people didn't respect and admire them? After being an official for so many years, they have long been accustomed to being held by others, and they don't take them seriously, and it's strange if they don't take them seriously, they don't have a fire, they have a fire in their hearts, and their subordinates are naturally not serious, and the way they show it has to make Steward Hong think more.
——
It wasn't until he was caught in court that Steward Liu realized that he was being accused, and then he saw that the person who accused him was kneeling in the court, a woman was dressed in light pink clothes, and her back was straight, and the woman's stubbornness could be seen from a background, which was fascinating.
Steward Liu didn't think so, he just thought that why didn't this woman die? It's annoying to be alive, without him, because this woman is so familiar to him, so familiar that he recognizes the other party as Tian Jiyao, the boss of the Shen family's shop, just a back!
Why is Tian Jiyao here? Things have to start from last night, when she and Shen Yun rushed to Zhao Si's house last night, Zhao Si quietly hinted that someone was eavesdropping, so they took the opportunity to ask the situation for that person to hear, Zhao Si is also a clever person, and there is no flaw in the play, after they entered the house to make sure that everything was going smoothly, they went back to Shen's house to rest for a night, and went straight to the county office early this morning, beating drums and shouting grievances!
Seeing that the people had arrived, the magistrate frowned, and one person came up and whispered a few words, with a disgusted expression on his face, he patted the wood and said: "The people have arrived, ascend to the hall!" ”
The officials on both sides began to knock on the guard of honor in unison, and said: "Might~Martial~"
Steward Liu knows what's going on in Zhixian,... He still had a bed coat on him, which was really indecent, but he couldn't help it, so he hurriedly bowed down and said: "Liu Zhiming, a grass man, has seen the county magistrate!" ”
"The people's daughter Tian Jiyao, I have seen the magistrate!" Tian Jiyao said crisply.
The magistrate waved his hand and said, "Get up, Tian, why are you drumming?" What are the grievances? ”
Tian Jiyao straightened up, raised her head and lowered her eyes, and complained loudly: "The people's daughter wants to sue Liu Zhiming, the Liu steward of Zhongzheng Mixing, for vicious competition, deliberately bribing the employees of the Shen family and destroying the property of the Shen family!" ”
"Nonsense! What are you talking about, little girl? Steward Liu jumped up all of a sudden, pointed his finger at Tian Jiyao and scolded, his face was ugly.
Zhixian frowned, patted the wood awake, and said sharply: "Liu Zhiming, this is a public court, you must not be presumptuous!" On your knees! ”
Steward Liu regretted it from jumping up, and quickly knelt down according to the words of the magistrate, and kept kowtowing: "My lord, the grass people are wronged!" Tian said that these grass people don't know! She framed me! ”
Tian Jiyao thought it was funny, she hadn't started yet, she was charged with a frame-up, did she really suspect that the Liu steward who had been dealing with them behind her back and the Liu steward in front of her were the same person? As soon as I got it on the surface, I frequently gave it away.
Zhixian obviously also felt that Steward Liu was too stupid to look at directly, so he turned to Tian Jiyao and said, "Tian, what do you want to say?" He felt that this woman, who had been calm and well-behaved since she came in, could see more than the fool of Steward Liu.
Tian Jiyao kowtowed again, straightened up and asked Steward Liu: "Steward Liu, I haven't said anything yet, why are you so anxious to say that I framed you?" Isn't it that Steward Liu is a thief himself? Want to bite back? ”
Steward Liu suddenly became anxious, and scolded: "You fart! Didn't you come to court to sue me, just to frame me? Need to say? I, Liu Zhiming, am innocent, how can I be a thief? ”
Tian Jiyao chuckled, "Innocent? Steward Liu, but the teahouse of the tea house told me that five days ago you had found my employee Zhao Si to talk for a long time, yesterday you two met in the same teahouse in the teahouse, and then my warehouse collapsed, Cha Xiaoer said that you confessed to them, if Zhao Si agreed, you can go to the tearoom again at any time, Cha Xiaoer will send someone to inform you, you also asked the teahouse shopkeeper to tell Zhao Si, you only give him five days, if he still does not go after five days, then the matter will be automatically invalidated, outdated, and then Liu Steward paid for the private room for five days, Steward Liu, this matter refers to buying Zhao Si, right? ”
Seeing that Tian Jiyao had done everything over the teahouse, Steward Liu was in a cold sweat, but he was not afraid, after all, Zhao Si had collected his money, and if he wanted to continue to mix here, he naturally had to help him.
So he said confidently, "What are you talking about? I don't understand! What tea house and what private room? Your warehouse collapsed, do you know if you used shoddy and inferior materials to cause the warehouse to collapse, what does it have to do with me? It's just inexplicable! ”
People watching the excitement outside also discussed.
"What the hell is going on? How did I listen to what that Tian said in a good way? ”
"Who knows? But I still believe in Liu's stewardship, after all, Zhongzheng Rice has been with us for so many years, there is no need to do such a thing for a small shrimp, right? ”
"That's too, maybe the Tian clan wants to touch porcelain? Right? ”
"Possibly, possibly!"
The discussion was full of interest, but Shen Yun, who was standing in the crowd, quietly clenched his fists, he didn't believe it, Yaoyao was definitely not such a person! He looked hopefully into the courtroom.
Tian Jiyao asked Steward Liu meaningfully, "Does Steward Liu really think so?" ”
Steward Liu was a little hairy when he was asked, when he never put the Shen family in his eyes, how could he be afraid? said as a matter of course: "Naturally, Liu dares to act and dare to act, and he will never admit what he has not done!" If you don't believe it, you can send Zhao Si to confront you? ”
The magistrate looked at the appearance of the two people in the hall, Steward Liu was not vain, and Tian Jiyao seemed to have a chance to win, I really don't know which of them is telling the truth, just pass on the witnesses!
So he shouted, "Someone! Go to Xiaohe Village to pass the witness Zhao Si! ”
Tian Jiyao showed a smile and said, "My lord, you don't have to go, I have already brought Zhao Si!" ”
Everyone looked at her in amazement, and Steward Liu was even more proud in his heart, he didn't expect this little lady to be in such a hurry to die, so give her a ride!
It was still the county magistrate who came back to his senses the fastest and said, "The witness Zhao Si went to court!" ”
"Witness Zhao Si goes to court!" The messenger shouted.
Soon Zhao Si was accompanied by a servant and walked in, and as soon as he arrived in the hall, he knelt down with a thud and said loudly: "Zhao Si, the grass people, I have seen the master of Qingtian!" ”
Zhixian waved his hand and said: "Zhao Si, Tian accused Liu Zhiming of bribing you and deliberately damaging your property, but Liu Zhiming said that Tian used shoddy and inferior materials to cause the wall to collapse, which of the two of them is real and who is fake?" ”
Zhao Si knelt on the ground and trembled and replied: "Master Mingjian, the materials used to build the wall are indeed of inferior quality!" ”
Wow! The onlookers exploded and pointed at Tian Jiyao, and Steward Liu was even more proud and almost laughed.
The magistrate even patted the waking wood before pressing it down, "Quiet and quiet!" No noise in the courtroom! Then he turned to Tian Jiyao and said with a little disappointment: "The witnesses have confirmed that Liu Zhiming is telling the truth, and the criminal woman Tian falsely accused others ......."
"Wait a minute!" Tian Jiyao stopped and said unhurriedly: "My lord, I also have witnesses!" ”
This reversal was something that everyone didn't expect, and the magistrate asked with interest: "Tian, who is your witness?" ”
"That's him! Zhao Si! Tian Jiyao pointed at Zhao Si and announced loudly.
