Chapter 087: The best of both worlds, the public government gets away with it
"Dr. Xu, today this official will personally try the case, even if any grievances are presented, this official will definitely make a fair decision and return your innocence." Wu Tong intended to protect Xiang Lin, but Zhu Yi and the others stared at him with a dark face and hatred. Xiang Lin didn't dare to hide it, and complained eloquently, during which Zuo Chao and others frequently interjected to hold them accountable, but they were all drunk by Wu Tong, and Zhu Yi's chest was bulging with anger.
"Xu Gongzi, you have no intention of offending Lord Zhu's daughter Feng Niang, but you can't tell the reason for it for a long time, and you don't have real evidence, how can you make everyone believe you?" Zuo Chao pricked up his ears and listened carefully, then raised his head and asked, everyone muttered, and they all agreed that what Xiang Lin said was really unreasonable and unconvincing.
"Lord Wu, Xu Xianglin Tui said in vain, don't believe it, all the guests were present that day, and they saw him bullying the little girl, this person is obviously misdoing with wine! ... Let me ask you, if it's a matter of wine, then why don't they have anything to do at all?! It's gibberish, it's ridiculous! Zhu Yi pointed to everyone and retorted, Xiang Lin seemed to be dumb and couldn't say that he was suffering from Coptis chinensis, he was poor in words, and he was speechless to argue, and there was no flaw in this matter from beginning to end that he could argue for.
"What Master Zhu said is extremely true, we will go to the banquet and drink, and no one will be as in such a situation as he said, it is simply absurd!" Everyone was very unhappy with what Xiang Lin said. The court was noisy for a while, Wu Tong's face was entangled, he believed that what Xiang Lin said was a heartfelt truth, but at the moment there was no evidence, and he was really in a dilemma with only one side, and he didn't know how to protect him.
"Zhu Yi! I promise to be frank to Lin Tan, worthy of heaven and earth, how can I be that filthy and despicable person! Now that I have been appointed as the son of the country by the grace of God, I dare not slack off in my diligent lectures, and I dare not speak in vain every step of the way, why do you still harm me! Xiang Lin suddenly got up and glared angrily, and the court was silent for a moment, Zhu Yi was so frightened by his sudden action that he couldn't speak for a while.
Zuo Chao's eyes were quick, and then he shot the case, "Presumptuous!" Arrogant and shameless! I bullied a good girl before, and now I threaten to scold Shangguan, and I still don't confess to the law! As soon as his eyes were served, the official knelt on the ground. This caused everyone to complain and scold again and again, Zuo Chao and Zhu Yi took the opportunity to fan the flames, listed their crimes, and asked Wu Tong to be convicted in court.
Wu Tong but Zhu Yi and others under the Guantang are powerful and proud, if they don't make a decision, they will be criticized, but if they are convicted and wronged Xiang Lin, they can't really be sentenced, and it won't work if they don't judge, and it's difficult to ride a tiger. Zuo Chao saw that he was hesitant to make a decision, and forced, "Wu Tong, this person is deeply responsible, and he should be questioned immediately, so as not to lose the hearts of justice!" Wu Tong thought for a moment and got up and said, "In ancient times, the public government asked about the case, and the bitter master and the prisoner needed to confront each other in court, and the words and pleadings were used for trial, and now Zhu Qiaofeng, the daughter of Lord Zhu, has not yet come to the court to complain, and it is unfair to arbitrarily reduce the responsibility only on the basis of your words, and this case still needs Zhu Qiaofeng to submit a confession in court before it can be decided, according to the intention of the official, this case will be retried at a later date!" The wood was shocked, and there was silence below.
When Zuo Chao and the others heard this, they were forced to speak urgently, Wu Tong was unmoved, and ordered the official to escort Lin back to the prison, Zhu Yi seemed to be a little annoyed and angry, and stopped, "The case is clear, but the adults favor him for no reason, what is the intention!" Wu Tongdao: "Lord Zhu! Two days later, please bring Ling Ai to the public office to sue for clarification of the case, if there is no criticism, the official will be convicted! After leaving, Zhu Yi and Zuo Chao were annoyed but had no choice, so they retreated.
Zhu Yi returned home to summon the little girl and instructed her to tell the truth about Xiang Lin's crime when the public office questioned the case, and if necessary, she might exaggerate and say that her crime was serious. Zhu Qiaofeng agreed, but he was entangled and hesitant in his heart, he couldn't bear it, one was his biological father, the other was an innocent handsome, if he told the truth, his father would definitely not be able to escape the responsibility, if he falsely confessed, Xu Gongzi would ask for the guilt with injustice, and he couldn't bear to hurt the left and right, what should he do, she hasn't come up with a perfect solution.
Two days later, Wu Tonggong's retrial, when she asked Zhu Qiaofeng, she glanced at Xiang Lin, who was covered with scars and messy hair, and then at her father Zhu Yi, and stepped forward and said, "My lord, Xu Gongzi... Be... It's wronged..."Mo said that Zhu Yi and the others were shocked, and even Wu Tong, who was unsure, stood up in shock, and then hurriedly asked about the inside story.
Zhu Qiaofeng said: "Your Excellency... On the day of my father's birthday, the little girl was playing in the ear hall, just when Xu Gongzi broke into the hall, he was drunk, and kept begging me for wine, the little woman thought that he must be a guest at the banquet, and there was no wine on the table, and saw that he was red and dry, so she poured a cup of tea and persuaded him to drink... Who knew that Xu Gongzi didn't want to drink tea, so he wanted to eat wine, the little woman was angry for a while, and had a quarrel with him, and then pushed and scuffled, and the guards broke into the door after hearing the movement, which stopped him... Xu Gongzi did not do anything insulting, and his clothes were torn during the scuffle..."
"Bastard! You! You...! As soon as Zhu Qiaofeng finished speaking, Zhu Yi slapped her in the face, so angry that his face was red and his neck was thick, and he couldn't say a word, he never expected that his daughter would also excuse Xiang Lin. Xiang Lin was stunned when he heard this, he looked up at Zhu Qiaofeng, and his gratitude was beyond words.
"Feng Niang, there are officials and Ling Zun here to defend you, but why don't you tell the truth and excuse such a filthy villain?!" Zuo Chao couldn't sit still for a long time, and there was a slight hatred in his questioning words. Zhu Yi was extremely embarrassed, pointing at her daughter and forcing her to tell the truth, but Zhu Qiaofeng said: "Adult... What the little woman said is true, Xu Gongzi really did not insult me..."Zhu Yi waved his hand and wanted to hit again, Wu Tong shouted: "Lord Zhu! How can you come nonsense above the court! What's more, she's your daughter! Zhu Yi was so angry that he seemed to explode, "Evil obstacles! Evil obstacles! Then he shook his hand and left.
When Zhu Qiaofeng said this, Zuo Chao also hated it, Wu Tong finally breathed a sigh of relief, and preached: "This case is now clear, Dr. Taixue Xu Xianglin was drunk and made trouble, and had a quarrel with the daughter of Zhu Yi, the son of the country, causing him to be frightened and lose his face, in view of Zhu Qiaofeng is the daughter of the official, Xu Xianglin is guilty of the crime, and he will be imprisoned for seven days as a punishment, and he can be reinstated after seven days!" Let's bet on it! The official obeyed the order and stood up to Lin and said, "Thank you, my lord!" Zhu Qiaofeng glanced at him, but his eyes were full of loneliness and sorrow, and his father Zhu Yi would never let her go.
Sure enough, after Zhu Qiaofeng returned home, Zhu Yi ordered someone to take her to the main hall, "How did the old man give birth to you, this evil thing!" It doesn't matter how willful you are on weekdays, but at such a critical juncture, you excuse a shameless villain who insulted you, but why?! As he spoke, he snatched the whip from the guard's hand and struck it.
Zhu Qiaofeng trembled and said: "... How did my mother die, has my father forgotten? ... Xu Gongzi is a righteous man and a gentleman, why do you frame him and put him to death now... That day, the father and the cousin heard the words of the father and the daughter! Zhu Yi was shocked, threw down the whip and walked to the door, "Lock her in the room, no one is allowed to let her out without my order!" The guards picked up Zhu Qiaofeng and took her to the boudoir and locked her.
