Chapter 203: Three Sessions of Trial
"Yoshimoto ......"
After hearing this, Wang Yu became even more silent, and after a long while, he said,
"However, there are many injustices and sins in this world today, and even if you stand up, how many people can you save by yourself? If you don't make it happen, and you will provoke the hatred of those vicious people, are you really not afraid? ”
"How can it be alone?"
Seeing that he was really a little worried, Zong Jiyuan couldn't help but smile,
"Look at the adults, as well as the third brother Diao, aren't they all good people? After all, there are still many good people in this world...... Besides, aren't you yourself on an errand in this yazhong and have been helping everyone? ”
"Me? I'm not here because of you......"
Wang Yu muttered in a low voice, and then added,
"Having said that, it is often the wicked who prevail ......"
"You're right,"
Zong Jiyuan looked at the other party, a touch of sadness flashed from her gaze, and then disappeared, sighed, and then said,
"But that's just for a while...... Okay, let's not talk about that, let's eat well, and by tomorrow, I can't say what will happen. ”
"Yes, that's true......"
Hearing her words, Wang Yu even sighed......
……
Early the next morning, the whole government was ready, and after the people from Anping County escorted the suspect over, the officials of the two counties could come together to try the case. It's just that to everyone's surprise, the first thing to wait for was a group of people that no one expected.
When a wide carriage and the accompanying servants came to the gate of the Yamen of Liaodong County, Diao Saburo immediately recognized that it was actually a person from the Liaoyang Prefecture Mansion.
But the question is, how could Liaoyang Zhizhou send someone at this time?
At this time, He Ruichang, who got the news, hurriedly came out of the lobby, and the curtain of the car was also opened at the right time, and the person who leaned out half of his body was the secretary and Jiang Wenju beside Wang Zaixian, the governor of Liaoyang.
He Ruichang naturally knows about this person, and knows that although this person is just a bookseller, he is a celebrity in front of Wang Zhizhou, and it is better not to offend a person like this.
Very politely invited this Jiang Shuban to come to the lobby and sat down as the guest and host, He Ruichang asked,
"I don't know if Mr. Jiang came to the county, but did he have any advice for the lower officials?"
"Oh, Lord Ho,"
Jiang Wenju smiled and waved his hand again and again,
"Where does the word 'advice' come from, it's just that our people in Zhizhou heard that a big case across Anping and Liaodong counties recently occurred, so we were very concerned about it, so we sent Jiang to inquire about it."
Do you have an inquiry? In fact, everyone understands what this means, and it is clear that they are here to monitor.
But everyone is also a little strange, then Wang Zaixian's ears are really long enough, how did he know that the two counties are going to try the criminal today? If he hadn't known the accurate information in advance, he wouldn't have been able to send his henchmen over so coincidentally.
It's just that there is nothing to hide from anyone in this case, since he is the top boss, if he wants to know something, let the king know first, so He Ruichang didn't care, and still smiled politely,
"Alas, Lord Wang is so concerned about the affairs under his rule, which really makes the lower officials grateful. In this case, I would like to ask Mr. Jiang to rest here for a while, and when the colleagues in Anping County will explain the culprit, we will be promoted to the court immediately. ”
"Easy to say, easy to say......"
Jiang Wenju also said with a smile on his face.
But before his words could land, he saw an errand officer running in from outside,
"My lord, the official mission of Anping County has arrived!"
"Has Master Shi ever been here?"
He Ruichang was full of desire to meet his old friend, and hurriedly asked.
The officer immediately smiled and said,
"I heard from the servants of the neighboring counties that Lord Shi is also here, and he is about to arrive."
"Oh, I know."
He Ruichang nodded lightly.
The errand who reported the matter went down, He Ruichang turned his head to look at Jiang Wenju, smiled slightly,
"Mr. Jiang, please sit down for a while, and wait for the official to go out to greet Master Shi."
"Okay, Lord He, please."
Jiang Wenju didn't even move, and nodded while drinking tea.
Humming in his heart, He Ruichang sorted out his official uniform and took Zong Jiyuan, Diao Saburo and others out of the office to greet him.
Coming to the outside of the county yamen, he saw the carriage escorted by ten messengers coming from a distance, and recognized that it was indeed Lord Shi's car, He Ruichang couldn't help but smile, and when the carriage came closer, he lowered the steps to greet him. When the curtain of the car was raised and Mr. Shi got out of the car, the hands of the two people were already tightly clasped together.
"Master Shi, it's been a long time!"
"It's not, but Lord He hasn't changed at all, and his demeanor is still the same."
Master Shi also laughed immediately.
The two adults seemed to be talking and laughing, but when they got closer, He Ruichang said in a low voice,
"Wang Zhizhou sent his henchman, Jiang Wenju, do you know what's going on?"
"Oh? What is he here for? ”
When Lord Shi heard this, he was also stunned,
"It's weird, could it be that this case involves something in their state?"
"I don't know,"
He Ruichang shook his head helplessly and said,
"It's okay, let's see, we don't have anything to carry him on his back anyway."
The two of them came to the lobby side by side, and when they saw that Mr. Jiang Wenjujiang, Master Shi inevitably had to say a few polite words.
Seeing that the personnel were basically all there, He Ruichang looked at Master Shi and said politely,
"Master Shi, after all, this criminal was caught in your county, and you should preside over the trial."
"Okay, Lord He, you, don't be polite,"
Master Shi smiled bitterly and waved his hand again and again,
"I don't have any problem with that criminal, no matter how I ask, he won't say anything, that's why he sent it to you, of course, this presiding judge is still up to you. What's more, this is your Liaodong County, how can there be any reason to suppress the main position. ”
"Okay, it's better to be respectful than to obey your orders."
Lord He arched his hand slightly towards him, and then ordered the servants to set up another public case on the side, so that Lord Shi could sit here, and it just so happened that Jiang Wenju's position was under Lord Shi, which seemed to be very suitable. In this way, Liaodong County, Anping County, and Mr. Jiang sent by Liaoyang Prefecture are almost the same as the "three sessions of trial".
At this time, Diao Sanlang took the officers from Liaodong County to stand on the left, while Zheng Youyi led the officers from Anping County to stand at the guest seat on the right, and Zong Jiyuan was naturally seated in her own position.
For some reason, at the moment when she just sat down, she noticed that Mr. Jiang, who had been looking at her, suddenly had an incomprehensible strange smile on his face.
