Chapter 438: Suing his father
"Okay, don't make a fuss." Li Tingyu finished sorting out the invitation in his hand, got up and hugged Lu Ce with his backhand.
"You say, when should I choose a time to report to the official?" She leaned on Lu Ce's arms and muttered to herself.
"You can go whenever you want. To bring this kind of murderer to justice, does it depend on the yellow calendar to choose a good day for him? ”
"Poof." Lu Ce's words successfully amused Li Tingyu.
"You're right. Then I'll sleep well today, and I'll be in good spirits to sue him tomorrow! Li Tingyu raised his face, and the smile on the corner of his mouth couldn't be stopped.
"Okay, do you need me to accompany you?" Lu Ce calculated tomorrow's itinerary, and there should be time to accompany Zhaozhao on a trip.
"Okay." Li Tingyu had no intention of refusing Lu Ce.
Although she was ready, in case of any emergency, Lu Ce was a good helper.
The two agreed on tomorrow's affairs, and did not fall asleep together.
Early in the morning of the second day, the Li family rushed into the Muyuan Hall in a hurry.
"Oh no, no, my lord has been sued." The shouts of Ah Liu, the subordinate guarding the door, spread throughout the Li family.
The old lady who was sitting on the main seat eating breakfast was stunned for a moment, and the chopsticks in her hand fell on the table with a click.
"Who was accused?" Old Madam Li trembled and picked up the chopsticks and pointed at Ah Liu.
"The lord is accused." Ah Liu was so anxious that he turned around, and the official was waiting at the door to get someone.
If the master commits a crime, will he also be punished?
"Old lady, old lady." There were bursts of exclamations from the front, and Ah Liu looked up and saw that it was the old lady who had fainted.
Mama Xiu was so frightened that she hurriedly pinched her people, and while calling the old lady's name, she ordered someone to ask for a doctor, and the whole Li family was jumping with chickens and dogs.
The old lady woke up in a staggering manner and sent someone to find Li Zhou, but saw a group of people from the government surrounding Meteor Garden.
Li Zhou was having breakfast with Aunt Wang in Meteor Garden, and was thinking about how to coax her to take out the silver to dredge up for herself, when she saw a team of officials break in.
"What do you mean by breaking into Lord Ben's house early in the morning?" Li Zhou looked angrily at the person leading the team.
He still doesn't realize that his identity is just a six-rank petty official, and he still has the squire lord's shelf.
"I'm sorry, Master Li, you are suspected of a murder case, please come with us." The person who led the team said with a smile.
Li Zhou's eyebrows widened, and he scolded angrily: "What nonsense, what murder?" What does it have to do with me? I'm a dignified court official, how dare you do this to me? ”
"Master Li, do you still hope you cooperate?" The leader of the team shook the knife in his hand.
Li Zhou slapped the table and stood up: "Are you threatening this official?" ”
"How dare you, if the adults don't cooperate, then I can only reluctantly ask you."
As soon as the words fell, dozens of steel knives surrounded him, and the maids on the side shrank into a ball screaming, and Aunt Wang was too frightened to move.
"You're ......!" Li Zhou was surrounded in the middle and had to swallow this breath.
"I want to see who dares to slander me." He flicked his sleeves and followed the officials to the yamen.
The servant hurriedly ran back to tell the old lady, and when the old lady heard the three words of the murder case, she was so angry that she fainted again.
Li Zhou was taken out of the house, and a group of people surrounded him and pointed at him.
He had never been so embarrassed, he only wanted to know who had sued him, and he had to make sure that person did not die well.
When he came to the mansion and saw Li Tingyu standing under the public court, Li Zhou was so angry that his eyebrows flew.
"What are you going to do, you daughter?"
"I hope that my lord will administer justice for me." Li Tingyu ignored him and respectfully saluted Zhang Chang on the seat.
"This official has decided countless cases, and he will never wronged a good person, nor will he let go of a bad person, Mrs. Lu, you can rest assured." Zhang Chang spoke lightly.
When the people on the periphery of the court heard that this was a case of a daughter suing her father, they became even more interested and came forward to discuss it.
"Li Tingyu, what do you want to do? I'm your father! Li Zhou saw that the person who sued him was actually the eldest daughter who was expelled from the house by him, and he was even more angry.
"Silence!" Zhang Chang slapped the shocked wood fiercely, and the venue suddenly fell silent.
"Li Zhou, General Zhongwu's wife sued you for murdering his wife Yang in the sixth year of Qiande, can you plead guilty?" Zhang Chang looked at the indignant Li Zhou in the audience seriously.
Li Zhou was suddenly exposed to this secret that had been hidden for more than ten years, and was startled, and immediately returned to normal: "Nonsense, how can I kill someone." ”
"Mrs. Lu, do you have any evidence?" Zhang Chang turned his head to look at the calm Li Tingyu.
"Naturally, there is. Otherwise, how dare I go to this court and ask the adults to avenge my mother's grievances. Li Tingyu said loudly, clapping his hands, "Bring a witness." ”
Li Zhou licked his lips and looked at Li Tingyu's eyes.
A woman in her twenties was brought to court.
She rubbed her hands together and knelt down.
"Who's in the hall?" Zhang Chang asked.
"The people's woman is the daughter-in-law of Wansan in Durian West Lane, and the Kobayashi clan is also." Xiao Lin glanced at Li Tingyu and then at Li Zhou, a little scared.
"Why are you here today?" Zhang Chang stared at Kobayashi intently.
"The mother of the Min's wife was originally a servant in the Shilang Mansion, and I often followed her to the Li family to do things when I was a child. At that time, Mrs. Yang was very kind to me, and often asked me to come to the house to accompany her to relieve her boredom, saying that she wanted to have a lovely daughter like me. Speaking of Yang Xia, the Kobayashi clan was obviously relaxed.
"That day, not long after my wife gave birth, she asked me to go to the house to play with the little master. The little master cried, and the nurse took her away, and I was about to say goodbye to my wife, when I saw the old man carrying a bowl of medicine into the house. Madame has always been in excellent health, and when I saw her in the morning, I didn't see anything wrong with her, so I followed with some apprehension. ”
Speaking of this, Kobayashi seemed to remember something terrifying, and his voice began to tremble.
Li Zhou seemed to realize what she was going to say next, and scolded loudly: "Nonsense, I don't remember that there is such a person as you." ”
"Silence!" Zhang Chang patted the shocked wood again, he looked at Li Zhou, and his tone was very serious: "Above the public court, no noise." ”
Li Zhou silly extinguished his voice and stared at the Kobayashi clan viciously.
Kobayashi continued: "I saw the old man smiling and feeding the medicine to his wife's mouth, and I was about to leave, but I heard a bang, and the medicine bowl shattered and fell to the ground. The lady sharply asked the old man what was put in the medicine, but the old man said that he didn't put anything in it. The lady was very sad and asked the master to get out, but the master pulled up the quilt and covered the lady's face. ”
"Nonsense nonsense !!" Li Zhou was completely crazy when he heard this, and wanted to pounce on Xiao Lin to stop her from continuing.
