Chapter 119: One Side
He froze motionless, and Duran's light voice rang in his ears: "Thank you." ”
Gu Youan was stunned for a moment, and then his big hand was held in her hand, his dark eyes were like bright stars in the night sky, shining in the night, and his voice was firm: "Sleep in peace, I am here." ”
He swore in his heart that he would never let anyone bully Duran again, and that he was powerless the last time Duran was in prison, and since then he has worked hard and will never let anything like this happen again.
When the sky was bright, Xue Yan got into the carriage and took Du Lan, as well as Gu Youan, Lin Daoshi, Gu Zhiping, and Xu Cui'e and their families to the county government.
As usual, after a few drums, the pedestrians coming and going at the yamen soon rushed over to see the excitement and surrounded the yamen.
Duran came to the court again, and her heart was full of emotion, she had just been here not long ago, but at that time she was the defendant, and now her status has been reversed, and she is the complainant who demands justice.
Xue Yan escorted Daoist Lin, Xu Cui'e and Gu Zhiping reluctantly walked forward slowly under Xue Yan's forced gaze, and as soon as a few people gained a foothold, they heard a burst of footsteps, and everyone looked up at the main hall.
I saw Bai Wangyuan come out of the side hall without hurrying, and after walking up to the public hall and sitting down steadily, he raised his eyelids tiredly, and then picked up the shocking wood hall and slapped the table fiercely: "Ascend to the hall!" ”
Gu Zhiping and Xu Cui'e went to court for the first time, but when they heard this sentence, their legs weakened in fright, and they fell to the ground one after another.
At the sound of an order, two rows of dignified officials stood on both sides of the hall and shouted in unison: "Mighty! ”
"Who is in the hall, why don't you kneel when you see this official?" Bai Wangyuan glanced at the people in the hall unhappily, and when his eyes swept over Duran, he didn't stop for long, obviously he didn't recognize that the woman in front of him was Duran who had just been released from prison not long ago.
Xue Yan kicked the kneeling Lin Daoist, and then arched his hand to Bai Wangyuan and said: "My lord, this person was murdered for money, and we exposed it on the spot, and begged the adults to rule all of them." ”
Bai Wangyuan glanced at Xue Yan with disdain, "Who are you?" ”
Dare to look at him and speak, so bold, he wants to see what the other party's identity is, if it is just an ordinary person, hum! He'll be sure to give this guy some color.
Xue Yan understood Bai Wangyuan's contemptuous eyes at a glance, hooked his lips and chuckled, and then carelessly took out a waist card from his arms and pushed it towards Bai Wangyuan.
Bai Wangyuan narrowed his eyes, and when he saw the number of "Shuo" on the waist card clearly, his eyes suddenly widened in surprise, and the hall was actually a confidant of Lord Shuo.
This other people? He thought about it for a while, quickly reacted, put on a flattering smile, and groveled: "It turned out to be the official from Shengjing, and the officials don't know, and they are disappointed, and they still hope that the lord Haihan is there." Someone, show this lord a seat. ”
"No need, Lord Bai just enforces the law impartially, and I will attend the trial."
As the saying goes, officials crush people to death at the first level, but Xue Yan did not rely on his identity to let Bai Wangyuan bend the law for personal gain, he withdrew his waist card indifferently.
Bai Wangyuan saw that Xue Yan didn't appreciate it, smiled awkwardly, and then sat back and said politely: "I don't know what to call an adult?" ”
"The surname is Xue." Xue Yan is colored.
Xu Cui'e and Gu Zhiping looked at each other in surprise, what was going on? The one who has been by Gu You'an and Du Lan's side turned out to be a senior official from Sheng Jinglai, and even the county lord had to nod to him. Recall that this adult cared for Gu Youan and Duran like relatives and friends.
What exactly is their relationship?
looked at Du Lan and Gu Youan suspiciously, and saw that the two of them were waiting for the county lord to try the case with a stern manner.
Xu Cui'e regretted even more in her heart, she knew that the characters around Duran had a lot of backgrounds, and she said that she would not do anything against Duran. Especially her daughter has looked at this person behind her back many times, and she saw that this person is extraordinary and rich at that time, but she didn't expect her identity to be so noble. In such a comparison, Xu Heming, who is unlearned and unskilled, is not even worthy of lifting shoes for others.
When Xu Cui'e was in a fugue, Bai Wangyuan's humble voice sounded: "Lord Xue, what happened to bother you to go to the yamen in person?" ”
"Lord Bai, that's ......" Xue Yan brought Xu Cui'e and Gu Zhiping to Daoist Lin to frame Dulan.
After Bai Wangyuan heard this, his face was furious, and he pointed at Daoist Lin who was tied up with five flowers: "Daoist Lin, you reverse black and white, look at the law, and ignore people's lives, can you be guilty?" ”
"My lord, you can't listen to what they have to say, the poor road is wronged." Daoist Lin had a bitter look on his face.
"Hmph, you dare to be stubborn when you die, you have self-made self-control, sweat medicine, and falsely claimed that the victim was a demon for personal gain, committing countless crimes, and even more bewitching the public, stirring up a radius of ten miles and not being peaceful. If someone comes, he will be punished by the official and beaten until he confesses his guilt. ”
"My lord, the poor road is wronged, the poor road is framed, my lord ......"
Unable to allow him to beg for mercy, the two officials who were holding the board on the side immediately stepped forward, carried the board over, and beat Lin Daoshi straight down.
Ling Yi didn't give Lin Daoist a chance to breathe, lifted the board and greeted him directly to his back.
"Ahh Oops! Yes! "Daoist Lin was beaten and screamed in pain.
Gu Zhiping and Xu Cui'e were shocked to see it, this county lord only listened to one party when he tried the case, and he didn't interrogate him at all.
Du Lan sneered secretly, Bai Wangyuan, a dog official who tends to be inflammatory, abused his private power to let Xu Shikun, a death row prisoner, go. This trial is still indiscriminate, if she is the defendant this time, won't she escape death?
Just based on the crackling sound of flesh slapping in his ears, it was expected that Daoist Lin had little chance of survival. Although she punishes the wicked, she really doesn't agree with Bai Wangyuan's style of trying cases.
Xue Yan nodded with satisfaction, what he wanted was this kind of result, Daoist Lin dared to murder Du Lan, and it would be cheaper for him to die like this.
The people outside the yamen heard that Daoist Lin was seeking money and killing under the guise of catching demons, and they immediately discussed in surprise.
"This hateful stinky Taoist priest turned out to be a liar, he is a master of Taoism, how many people asked him to exorcise ghosts and catch demons, it turned out to be his deception, those who were deceived by him are really pitiful......"
"That's right, it turns out that he is murdering for money, and this kind of bad guy who has lost his conscience is simply beaten to death with a stick."
For a moment, the people were angry.
The official listened to the accusations of the people, and he was even more angry, and the board he picked up became more and more vigorous, and he really wanted to shoot this dog to death to eliminate the harm for the people.
Lin Daoshi begged for mercy, and as the number of boards increased, he gradually became hoarse, panting more and taking less air.
"Daoist Lin, can you plead guilty?"
Lin Daoshi was weak, "My lord...... I didn't ...... There was ......"
"Dare to be hard-mouthed, come here, continue to fight!" Bai Wangyuan glared viciously at Daoist Lin who was lying on the ground, eager to confess directly.
crackled and beat violently, and Daoist Lin was directly beaten to death.
Bai Wangyuan saw that he was dying and had not confessed, and suddenly became angry: "Come on, wake him up for me, and continue the trial." ”
"Yes, sir."
Daoist Lin's ass had been beaten to the point that his flesh was blurred, and it was unbearable to see, and the onlookers closed their mouths in fright, and they didn't dare to speak out again.
And Xu Cui'e and Gu Zhiping's faces trembled with fright, and the board that hit Daoist Lin seemed to fall on them.
They are all in the southern dynasty at the entrance of the yamen, and it is difficult to speak when they enter the court, and now they have seen with their own eyes that the county lord has no room for quibbling at all when he tries the case, and he will be beaten severely when he comes up, even those who have not committed the crime can be beaten into tricks.
Xu Cui'e secretly glanced at Du Lan, she had to admire Du Lan's great powers, the last time she was in prison, she was put back unharmed, this Lin Daoist was in her hands, and she had no chance to live.
Not only that, Xu Cui'e felt palpitations in her heart, fortunately with Gu Youan's relationship, otherwise with Duran's ferocity, I am afraid that she would not have survived today.
In the snap of his fingers, the official brought cold water, and with a bang, it was all sprinkled on Daoist Lin's head.
Daoist Lin woke up suddenly, raised his head and saw Bai Wangyuan's threatening eyes.
"Daoist Lin, there are all human and material evidence, what else do you have to quibble! The official tells you that now you will not suffer from the flesh and skin. ”
Daoist Lin lowered his head suddenly, he no longer had the strength to answer.
"I knew now, why bother in the first place! Someone comes, bring the confession forward, and draw a charge for Daoist Lin! Bai Wangyuan said majestically.
The master on the side immediately presented the temporarily written confession to him for seeing, and only after he approved it did he take it to Daoist Lin.
From beginning to end, Daoist Lin had been sentenced to death without uttering a complete sentence, and he lay on the ground weakly, watching the official squeeze his fingers with ink and press them on the confession.
His body was frozen and he couldn't move.
The people were stunned but didn't dare to say much, but Lin Daoist has harmed countless people, and this end is also in line with public opinion, and the people still applauded Bai Wangyuan after relieving themselves.
Du Lan looked at Bai Wangyuan coldly, thinking in his heart that this time he would be corrupt again, so he would use Xu Shikun's matter to remind him, but he didn't want Xue Yan to blow up his identity and use his power to suppress him.
Bai Wangyuan glanced at the master, the master understood, and picked up the confession he had just drafted and preached: "Daoist Lin has bewitched the public and harmed countless people, and now it has been verified by Lord Bai, and he will be beheaded in three days!" ”
Xu Cui'e pounced in her heart, and her heart was about to jump out.
