Chapter 824: Case Closed?
That Ni Xian is only fifteen or sixteen years old, and he has heard legends about Fang Yun almost every day in the past two years, in his heart, Fang Yun is no longer a young man of the same age, but a peerless genius who is extremely strong in both talent and literary warfare, and has a great chance to be a half-saint in the future, but a dragon and phoenix among people.
Now, this dragon among people was in front of him, and his tone was obviously not good, Ni Xian was so frightened that his legs weakened, he knelt on the ground, and said loudly: "The student is wronged! The student is wrong! Although the student is at fault in the fight, this kind of thing can't be slapped in the face, if he hadn't repeatedly provoked us and others, how could I have made a heavy hand! My lord, I have been wronged! The student admitted that he had a personal vendetta with Tian Lu, but it was by no means as shameless as he said!"
The father and son of the Tian family were so angry that their whole bodies trembled, which was the same as the previous rhetoric, which was nothing more than an attempt to turn bullying into an ordinary brawl.
Fang Yun nodded, staring at Ni Xian, his eyes became extraordinarily bright because of the power of talent and courage, like the bright moon in the night, and then said slowly: "Ni Xian, you must know that in the public court, if there is half a lie, the crime will be increased by one degree! Once the official confirms that there is something untrue in your words, he will definitely be severely punished!"
Ni Xian's eyes flashed, and he instinctively looked at his father Ni Kuo.
Ni Kuo took a step forward and said, "My lord, can you speak below?"
Fang Yun said: "Well, you are the father of the defendant, the defendant is young, if the defendant doesn't know how to answer, you can answer on your behalf." ”
Ni Kuo was overjoyed and hurriedly said: "My son is very strong by nature, and he has a feud with Tian Lu, the main reason is the ranking battle of the academy. That day, my son ridiculed him a few words, Tian Lu accused my son, and my son felt that he was humiliated in public before he did it. Tian Lu, you tell the truth, when the ** has you ever accused my son?"
Tian Lu said angrily: "Ni Xian is doing evil in the academy, I ......"
Ni Kuo violently interrupted Tian Lu's words and said, "I only ask you, do you accuse my son?"
Tian Lu's momentum weakened, and said: "He taunted me first, and I naturally fought back." ”
Ni Kuo immediately looked at Fang Yun and said, "My lord, you heard it too. But what you don't know is that my son didn't do it that day, but a few days later, I heard someone secretly slandering him, and some people said that it was Tian Lu who slandered him and brought someone to beat Tian Lu!"
Fang Yun asked, "Tian Lu, have you ever slandered Ni Xian afterwards?"
Tian Lu hurriedly shook his head and said, "It's impossible." After refuting Ni Xian that day, I was worried that Ni Xian would retaliate, and I had been hesitating to confess to him, how could I continue to slander!"
"Oh, I'm worried that Ni Xian will retaliate? Ni Xian has had many bad deeds before? Fang Yundao.
Ni Kuo's eyes showed an anxious look and wanted to refute, but he remembered his previous palm, and he didn't dare to speak, and the other defendants' fathers and sons were also silent, not daring to go against this resolute county master.
Tian Lu immediately said: "The student has seen Ni Xian block his classmates in the academy or on the road three times and beat them, and at least four times he has seen Ni Xian molesting female students. ”
"Oh, have those people ever sued the official?" Fang Yun asked.
"Ni Xian is very shrewd, he only bullies us who are poor people, where will anyone sue the official. As for those female students, although their family backgrounds are good, they are almost the same as Ni Xian, and Ni Xian is only light-mouthed. By the way, the students heard that Ni Xian had ......" last year
That Ni Xian suddenly glared at Tian Lu and shouted, "Tian Lu!
Tian Lu's body trembled, his eyes showed panic, and he didn't dare to continue.
"Bold!" Fang Yun slammed the startled wood, the power of courage was vigorous, and the wind was born out of thin air, sweeping in all directions.
Everyone's clothes were blown up, the pages of the books were flying, and many people instinctively let out exclamations, looking at Fang Yun with awe-inspiring eyes.
"The student knows the mistake, the student knows the mistake!" Ni Xian hurriedly bowed his head and begged for mercy.
Fang Yun snorted coldly and said: "You still dare to threaten the plaintiff in the court, it can be seen how domineering you are on weekdays! Your words have been recorded in the case and will be dealt with afterwards, if you still dare to roar in the court, don't blame the county for severely punishing you! Tian Lu, you continue." ”
Tian Lu lowered his head and said, "That's a rumor that the students heard, not what they saw with their own eyes, so it's not suitable to talk nonsense in the court." ”
Fang Yun said: "This is wrong. If this rumor has no effect on you, you can not say it, but if it has an impact on you, it involves whether you are afraid of Ni Xian. The county asked, "What does that say about you?"
Tian Lu was silent for a long time, and said slowly: "After hearing that rumor, the student was even more afraid. ”
"Then tell me more about the rumors. When Fang Yun spoke, he looked at Ni Kuo and Ni Xian's father and son, and the two wanted to defend themselves, but they didn't dare to open their mouths.
Tian Lu was silent for a moment and said, "Everyone in the academy knows about this matter. Ni Xian met a young girl, liked her beauty very much, and learned that she was the daughter of a commoner, so he wanted to buy her as a maid. The maid is not even as good as a concubine, and the family does not agree, who doesn't want their daughter to be a wife? Here, the rumors are all the same, but the rumors after that are inconsistent, some say that Ni Xian defiled the girl, and the girl committed suicide in shame. Some say that Ni Xian abandoned the chaos from the beginning, wanted to marry a famous family, but was afraid that this girl would ruin her reputation and kill her. In short, the woman died after all, and why she died, so far there are different opinions. ”
Fang turned his head to look at the general secretary of the torture room and asked, "Is there a record of this girl's death?"
The chief secretary of the torture room was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said: "Ning'an is a big county, and the number of deaths every year is incalculable, and the lower officials don't know." ”
Fang Yun nodded and asked, "Tian Lu, do you know the girl's name?"
Tian Lu shook his head, but his father Tian Fusheng said: "Report to your lord, the grass people remember that the girl's surname is Lu, her name is Ping'er, and her family lives in the west of the city, as if she is in Laohuai Lane." ”
"Ni Xian, have you ever heard of this girl?" Fang Yun looked directly at Ni Xian.
Ni Xian's face was strange, as if he was struggling with something. His father Ni Kuo hurriedly said: "My lord, the dog and Lu Ping do have a relationship, and the dog also wants to marry her, but then the two broke up because of the relationship, and the woman committed suicide by hanging herself." I personally went to the Lu family to apologize and obtain the understanding of the Lu family. ”
Fang Yun nodded and said, "This woman's matter involves whether Ni Xian behaves mischiefly on weekdays, and where is the general secretary of the torture room!" As he spoke, Fang Yun took out an order from the lottery.
"Xia Guan is here. The chief secretary of the torture room hurriedly stepped forward.
"You send two people to the Lu family and bring the Lu family to the county office. ”
"No!" the general secretary of the torture room stepped forward to take the order and left the lobby to find someone.
Fang Yun saw that Ni Xian's legs were trembling slightly, and fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.
Fang Yundao: "Back to this case." The first brawl between the two of you was a war of words. Then why did Ni Xian beat him again and again, and even scalded and cut him?"
Ni Kuo arched his hand and said: "After the dog beat Tian Lu, I wanted to stop there, but I could always hear Tian Lu cursing and slandering behind his back, so I did it repeatedly!
The Tian family's father and son were stunned, if Ni Kuo had made this punishment earlier, the two would never continue to sue the official. Let Ni Xian admit his mistake in public and whip him, which has exceeded the expectations of the two, and the case may be closed.
The father and son of the Tian family looked at Fang Yun gratefully. R1152
