Chapter 143: Confrontation in court

After reading the book for a while, his eyes were a little unbearable, so Tang Sha blew out the candle and fell asleep directly.

Early the next morning, Tang Sha washed up, took Xiao Cuo and Eleven, and left the inn.

As soon as I came out, I saw that many people on the street were running in small steps in a hurry, and they said what kind of government is this, Yama.

"Let's go, let's go to the government office." I didn't expect this Yan Taishou to get up quite early, and he couldn't wait.

"Big brother, are we going to see the second brother?" Xiao Mistake's eyes rolled.

"Exactly, when the time comes, just stand aside and watch, don't talk too much." Tang Sha reminded.

Both of them nodded yes, indicating that they understood.

Tang Sha saw a large number of people gathered at the entrance of the government from a distance from the street, and it was very lively.

After Tang Sha walked to the door, he squeezed from the crowd to the front, which inevitably caused several people to complain.

I saw that above the public court, the Ya Ling sat at the top, and there was a fair and strict big character behind it. Next to him stood two neat rows of guards holding sticks. There was also a position next to the Ya Ling, and Tang Sha, the person sitting on it, recognized it at a glance - Yan Shan.

A mighty sound accompanied by the sound of sticks hitting the ground made the court a little solemn.

"Smack!" As soon as the sound of the hall sounded, Qu Gu below was a little inexplicably nervous, he used to sit next to him and watch, but now he stood on top of the court, and it felt really different.

"Who is the hall! Get your name in! According to the procedure, the Ya Ling first asked their names.

Qu Gu pursed his lips, what kind of tone is this! If you call me, I'll say it? My son doesn't want to lose face?

So Qu Gu learned from Tang Sha's appearance, shook his legs, and was full of disdain.

When the others saw Qu Gu like this, they didn't care, digging their ears and buttoning their nails.

Ya Ling didn't expect this group of people to be so presumptuous, and his eyes widened and roared: "This official asks you again!" Get your name now! Otherwise, the criminal law is waiting! ”

"Oh, I'm so scared!" Qu Gu replied angrily.

Although Ya Ling was very angry, he didn't dare to say that he was really serving the criminal law. If Yan Shan spoke, it would be fine, and when the incident in the east window happened, there would be someone to stand up to, but now Yan Shan's attitude is a bit unpredictable, and he will not take the initiative to ask for credit.

"Humph! Are you waiting for the twelve young people in the city? Ya Ling asked after taking a step back.

"I know you're still asking, retarded!" The grumpy old five scares people online.

"It's a novelty for retardation to use swearing." One of the onlookers thought for a moment and said to the person next to him.

The focus of people's attention seems to be different from what Tang Sha thought, but they are all here to see the excitement, so it doesn't matter.

"You're ......!" The Ya Ling knew that this was a curse, so he was so angry that he stood up and pointed at the people below, unable to speak for a long time.

"You, you, you, what you! It's not just mentally retarded, it's also stammering, and this Tengcheng is nothing more than that. Lao Shi muttered to himself, but did not say it out loud. It's good to say a few words, if you talk too much, the other party may jump off the wall in a hurry, and maybe you will really torture them. The eldest brother once said that those who know the times are Junjie.

Ya Ling glanced at Yan Shan, who was sitting on the side, and Yan Shan nodded at him.

Ya Ling secretly said that this Yan Shan is an old fox, what does this nod mean? To move or not to move?

Ya Ling put away the anger on his face and sat down again.

"You and others openly committed murder in the bathhouse yesterday and injured Yan Qing, the son of Taishou. This is a deliberate crime, according to the law of the dynasty, if the relatives do not pursue the investigation, they will pay the money and be detained for 15 days. If they are investigated, they will ask the counsellor to be held accountable in court. Can you plead guilty? "Before the order asks about the cause and effect, he directly made them confess, and his heart can be punished.

They are not fools, so naturally they cannot easily admit their guilt.

"Then why didn't the commander ask me why I wanted to beat him?" Lao Jiuzi is relatively calm, and he is also quite familiar with the laws of the country.

Ya Ling couldn't get off the stage, and coughed lightly: "Then you have admitted to the crime of beating people?" "The government order grabbed a point and charged it upwards.

They did hit people, this is undeniable, so many people have seen it, and they don't deny it, but the punishment scale is particular in this.

Intentional assault and manslaughter are two types of crimes under Chen's law, the former is subject to detention or direct sentencing, and the latter only requires financial compensation. Doing it first and then doing it is also a key point in pursuing accountability.

"He did it first." Qu Gu said confidently. Tang Sha, who was watching outside the court, didn't know where he got his courage.

Anyway, everyone is a scoundrel, who is afraid of whom!

"Humph! Full of nonsense! Yan Shan couldn't hold back and said coldly.

"However, someone saw it with their own eyes last night, and you were the first to do it! Bring witnesses! As soon as the order was given, a group of guards walked out of the back hall with a group of people.

This group of people was the owner of the bathhouse and the waiter, and Tang Sha also saw the little maid who served her yesterday.

The group of people walked neatly to the middle of the public hall, knelt down and said, "Meet your lordship." ”

"Get up!"

The owner of the bathhouse stood up tremblingly, not daring to look directly at anyone. He also heard about the identity of this group of young people, and he didn't dare to offend either side.

"Take everything you saw yesterday and don't deceive! If there is a word that is not true, the criminal law will deal with it! Ya Ling reminded.

The boss grabbed the sleeve of his shirt and wiped the cold sweat on his forehead: "The grass people's bathhouse was not very good in the summer, and only Yan Gongzi often went there. But yesterday afternoon, twelve little sons came. After about an hour or two, Yan Gongzi also came. About half an hour later, the grass people were reading in the room, and suddenly they heard a noisy scream, and when the grass people rushed over, they had already seen Yan Gongzi lying on the ground, and this group of children ......"

The boss glanced at Qu Gu and seemed to be frightened by their eyes, and immediately retracted: "Seeing that this group of sons were beating Yan Gongzi, the grass people were frightened at that time!" Immediately let people come to the government and bring people to stop them! That's all the grass people know. ”

"You said there were twelve? Did they all do it? "The commander counted here, and there were only nine people.

The boss swallowed his saliva: "Back to the Ya Ling, it was too chaotic at the time, and the grass people didn't see it clearly." ”

"Can't you see this clearly?!" Yan Shan suddenly spoke, staring at the boss motionlessly.

The boss's scalp was numb in an instant, if he offended Taishou, he wouldn't have to mess around in Tengcheng in the future.

"I saw it clearly, I saw it clearly, I did it!" The boss hurriedly replied.

"Where are the other three now?"

"The grass people don't know."

"Who remembers their looks! Did anyone serve those three yesterday? Ya Ling glanced around.

"Don't come out yet!" Seeing that everyone didn't react, the boss urged.

A little maid looked around, a little uneasy. But he still moved and stood up: "Go back to my lord, the slave family has seen it!" ”

"Tell me about it."

Tang Shaxin mentioned that the maid who came out was the one she teased yesterday. But it doesn't matter, there is no essential difference between the identity of a man and a woman for her, it's just that it will be more troublesome to do something in the future.

"That boy is about seven feet three inches, handsome, and looks suave. After the little boy bathed, he went out directly, and the slave family didn't know where he went. The maid was naturally panicked, and she was biased towards Tang Sha from the bottom of her heart.

She didn't tell Tang Sha the identity of her daughter, first, because she felt that it was not easy for women in this world, and she mixed men's clothes, indicating that she didn't want to tell others her identity. Second, this girl is really likable, and they are very clear about what Yan Qing usually does.

"Come on, paint a portrait, arrest someone!"

The painter on the side picked up the pen, and the maid walked over and told him about Tang Sha's appearance.

Tang Sha, who was watching the excitement on the side, didn't expect that this Yan Shan would not even let her go, which showed that he was holding a grudge.

"Little mistake, eleven, you go to the city gate and wait for Lord Qu." Tang Sha patted Xiao Cuo on the shoulder and motioned for them to go.

Xiao Cuo and Eleven glanced at each other, and ran away without saying a word according to Tang Sha's words.

Tang Sha straightened the corners of his clothes and walked forward.

"Stop drawing, I'm here!"

Tang Sha's appearance caused an uproar, and it is really rare for someone to come out and confess his guilt in this year.

The people above the court also set their eyes on Tang Sha. Tang Sha was under the watchful eye and walked towards Qu Gu and them.

At this time, Tang Sha's appearance undoubtedly gave the twelve young people a shot in the arm, and in their eyes, Tang Sha was flickering with Buddha light behind him.

"Who's coming?" Ya Ling patted the startled wood in his hand and asked.

"In the lower Tangsha." Tang Sha bent down and saluted.

"Bold grass people, don't kneel down when you see this official!" Yan Shan deliberately said a few days ago that this Tang Sha has no power and no power, and he is a little smart, and he made a big fuss at the merchant banquet at the beginning. Qu Gu can't understand, can't you still move Tang Sha?

Tang Sha ignored this order, but looked at Yan Shan, smiled, and arched his hand: "Lord Yan, don't come to harm?" ”

Yan Shan stared at Tang Sha, first expressionless, and then suddenly smiled: "Tang Gongzi is still as old as ever, there is no one in his eyes!" ”

"Praise and praise!" Tang Sha waved his hand modestly.

"Humph! Tang Gongzi, one yard is one yard, this official knows that there is someone behind you, but he openly acts and flouts the law of the country, which is not good! Yan Shan's tone was aggressive, and he looked very upright.

The onlookers became lively at this time, and began to guess Tang Sha's identity and the relationship between Yan Taishou and Tang Sha.

"This twelve-year-old Tang Gongzi looks like this!"

"You look modest and polite, don't you look like you're going to hit someone?"

"This Yan Taishou knows him, listening to this tone, I think I have a grudge!"

"Isn't this Yan Taishou Mo trying to announce his personal vendetta?"

"Eh, you can't say that, what Yan Taishou said is also polite, in the dark, openly committing murder, the Son of Heaven is guilty of the same crime as the common people, one yard is one yard!"

"What this brother said is reasonable!"

"Smack!" "Silence!" The Ya Ling was noisy and his brain hurt.

After this sound, everyone held their mouths and began to watch the play.

"Hahaha, what Yan Taishou said is reasonable, it should indeed be one yard to one yard, the Son of Heaven is guilty of the same crime as the common people, it turns out that Taishou still knows this truth! I don't know what crime I have committed? Tang Sha's eyes suddenly became fierce, and he jumped down Yan Mountain.

"The owner of the bathhouse said that you committed murder in public, and you still don't admit your guilt?!"

"And what if he's bought off by you? How do you prove that he is telling the truth? Tang Sha asked rhetorically.

"The law is cloudy, and three witnesses can be counted, and they have all seen it!" Yan Shan refused to let it.

"Oh? Is it? How come I only hear the boss say I saw it? According to Lord Yan's meaning, I'm afraid I don't understand what it means for three people to become a tiger! Since this is the case, then I will ask all the people present, you say, has this Yan Gongzi fought on weekdays? Tang Sha turned to look at the crowd, and his voice was very penetrating.

There were many people watching the excitement, and the people in the front row were still silent, and I didn't know how many people in the back began to answer.

Tang Sha smiled with satisfaction, and turned his head to look at Yan Shan: "Then should Taishou also arrest Ling Gongzi and bring him to the court for trial?" ”

"I know that my little brother is a little squirrel, but he is still sensible! They will not oppress the people for no reason, and only do what is right. Please also have a good understanding! Tang Sha, in turn, saluted the yaling. After all, this court is still an order.

Yan Shan was so frightened that he couldn't speak, and his palms were sweaty, and he didn't know what to do for a while. There is no ironclad evidence for this! It's not because Yan Shan, Yan Qing, and his father and son do a lot of evil on weekdays and lose the hearts of the people. If they are really punished, I am afraid that no one will obey them anymore and they will be impeached.

Tang Sha also took a fancy to this point and dared to ask those people, wanting to use the people's will to deal with them, it was really self-inflicted.

Yan Shan didn't live in vain after living for so many years, and he came back to his senses after a while. He was about to say something when a voice suddenly came from the gate.

"Even if they are usually sinful, you are not in a position to punish them."

Tang Sha was stunned for a moment and looked back at the uninvited guest.

The person who came was unexpected by Tang Sha, but it was reasonable.

"Meet the Consul!" Yan Shan recognized this person and saluted respectfully, and so did the Ya Ling.

I didn't expect the consular status to be quite high!

This Chen Guo's Taishou is a seventh-rank official, and this consul, a fourth-rank military general, Yan Shan saw it, and he wanted to salute.

"Your Excellency!" Tang Sha also bowed over.

Tang Sha also heard what the consul said just now, it seems that today is not so easy to mess with, count them unlucky.

The consul glanced at Tang Sha with a complicated expression, turned around, and said to the people outside the door: "These nine people injured Yan Qing in public and dealt with them according to the law." Yan Qing is usually evil, if you can come up with evidence today! Or arrest in public, you can take it out directly! Deal with it according to the law! The law is enforced by the government! If you all dispose of it privately! Isn't that a mess! ”

The consul was a man in the army, and he was so angry that no one dared to speak out. Tang Sha knew these truths in his heart, but weren't these laws only for the common people? Are these laws really useful to those who cover the heavens with one hand? Tang Sha didn't say it, because this is a characteristic of the times and can't be changed.

Tang Sha never thought of letting the twelve young people be acquitted like this, because they were indeed guilty, and as a figure in high society, their tutors were not bad or anything, and they should be punished if they acted impulsively!

Tang Sha just said it, and these people believed her nonsense without thinking about the real consequences, and they didn't have their own opinions and thoughts.

Tang Sha really didn't do anything yesterday, and as soon as she started fighting, she directly pulled Xiao Cuo and Eleven away.

Asked her what qualifications she had to educate this group of younger brothers, and they called her a big brother, which was her qualification. Tang Sha is also very problematic in some situations, but at least he will think about how to solve the problem when it comes.

It's not a big deal to be alone, but they're different, they have families, so they have to be more cautious. No matter how much you say, it's useless, you still have to suffer a little before you can learn a lesson.
