Chapter 86: Perjury
Yuanshan County Ya, Lu Xuan was grounded by Su Junfeng's order, and seeing that Wang Zixuan's case had dragged on for several days, she couldn't help but feel uneasy.
"Lord Lu, you should think of a way." Feng Wukuan, who was also grounded, was even more anxious than Lu Xuan: "Is your lord just sitting here waiting to die?" β
Lu Xuan naturally wants to make a difference, but now that she is under suspicion and has been grounded by the prefect himself, is it possible to break out?
Seeing Feng Wukuan's urging, Lu Xuan didn't say anything, and just looked at himself in front of the case, hoping to take this opportunity to calm down and think carefully about what flaws there were.
But Lu Xuan thought too easily, with Wang Ji'an, who is used to telling right and wrong, where did he come to calm down?
Finally, when Feng Wukuan stopped a little, Lu Xuan was disturbed before he could steal a moment of peace.
The person who came was Su Junfeng's subordinate, but when he saw Lu Xuan, he didn't have a good face: "My lord invites the two of you to come to the hall and follow quickly." β
Seeing this, Lu Xuan couldn't help but sigh in his heart: It was really a tiger falling into Pingyang and being bullied by dogs, and I don't know if there are any eyebrows.
After a while, everyone gathered in the public court, Lu Xuan saw that Wang Ji'an was also there, and looked at his smug face, didn't he come up with any unwarranted incriminating evidence?
Lu Xuan watched quietly until Su Junfeng spoke: "Where is the new evidence that the Wang family said now?" β
Hearing this, Lu Xuan couldn't help but be surprised: "New evidence? β
The last time the witness was full of nonsense and has not been strictly investigated, how can there be new evidence in just half a day? This Wang family's ability to create something out of nothing is really admirable.
It's just that with the flawed testimony last time, this time Lu Xuan also calmed down, so he simply took a look at what tricks this Wang Ji'an was going to play.
Lu Xuan treated her coldly, but Wang Ji'an took the initiative to provoke her: "Lu County's order is not satisfied with my previous testimony, so the next one must be able to convince Lord Lu." β
After saying that, Wang Ji'an clapped his palms, and the so-called other person's certificate in his mouth immediately went to the court, and Lu Xuan looked in the direction he pointed, and couldn't help but be dumbfounded.
"Grass people, Xie Qingshan, have seen the prefect." The man stepped forward.
Only then did Lu Xuan come back to his senses: "Xie Qingshan? How could it be you? β
"Lu County Ling and this acquaintance?" Su Junfeng asked in surprise.
Lu Xuan nodded: "This person is the former head catcher of the lower official ......."
Before Lu Xuan finished his introduction, Wang Ji'an over there couldn't wait to speak: "Since he is a subordinate of Lu County, this person's testimony must not be biased." β
is in such a hurry to clear up the relationship with Xie Qingshan, Wang Ji'an is really a good hand at crossing the river and demolishing the bridge.
Lu Xuan was disgusted in his heart, and then continued to say to himself: "This person used to be a member of the county government, but this person was among those who obstructed the handling of the case mentioned by the lower officials before. β
At this time, Su Junfeng was even more confused: "Since he is a subordinate of Lu County, he should do his best to help in front of the case, how can he obstruct it in every way?" β
Hearing this, Feng Wukuan hurriedly stepped forward to explain: "This person has always colluded with the Wang family, and he has made things difficult in every way since the first arrival of the Lu County Order. β
"Am I making it difficult for her? It's obvious that she can't get used to me, the time she scolded me with the cane of the government before, the officials can see it clearly, Master Feng, didn't you also see it? Xie Qingshan raised his eyebrows angrily.
Feng Wukuan didn't bother to be with him, and only left the sentence "That's what you should fight", and then didn't look around.
For a time, there was an endless debate on the field.
Before Su Junfeng could think clearly, Xie Qingshan pretended to look pitiful again.
"I have been self-denying and diligent for many years, and it is clear that Lu Xuan hijacked the prince of the Wang family in front of me and abolished my official name in the back, and I have not yet avenged myself in front of the prefect, so the wicked will sue first."
The two sides disputed, each with its own statement, Su Junfeng thought that both sides should not be gullible, so he simply interrogated himself.
"Xie Qingshan, this official asked you, Lu County's order said that you intend to commit murder to her in the woods on the outskirts of the city, but is there such a thing?" Su Junfeng asked from the beginning one by one.
Xie Qingshan immediately refuted: "The grass people did intercept the Lu County Order together with the Wang Family Nursing Hospital, but the words of the murder are pure fabrication. β
"Then you led someone to intercept Lu County's order, but you want to obstruct the case?" Su Junfeng asked.
Xie Qingshan still denied it: "No, the grass people are just trying to persuade Lu County to hand over Wang Gongzi, so as not to make a big mistake." β
Xie Qingshan said it with great certainty, as if he had seen Lu Xuan kidnapping Wang Zixuan with his own eyes.
Su Junfeng also asked, but he said that Lu Xuan had already intended this.
"When Lu Xianling first arrived here, he went to Wang's house to find trouble with Wang Gongzi, and many people have seen it with their own eyes." Xie Qingshan turned over the old accounts.
Feng Wukuan immediately refuted: "It is clear that Wang Zixuan slandered the adult's name first, and the adult came to the door just to ask for an explanation, and besides, we never saw the prince that time." β
Everyone talked about it, but Lu Xuan was not in a hurry, and what Xie Qingshan said was not enough to prove it.
Until he said the next thingβ
"And the night before the crime, the grass people passed by Lu Xuan's window and overheard her and Master Feng planning to kidnap Wang Gongzi, otherwise how could the grass people be so sure that Lu Xuan did this?"
Lu Xuan could tolerate everything before, but now these are clearly fabricated out of thin air.
Lu Xuan immediately retorted: "It's nonsense, when will I ......?"
It's just that as soon as she spoke, Xie Qingshan snatched her words again: "Lu Xuan saw that I had repeatedly obstructed, and I was afraid that the matter would be revealed, so I privately used my connections to replace all of my and other arresters, and now the officials are all her cronies." β
I really didn't expect that Gu Huanli had bothered to arrange it for so long, and in the end, it could become one of the reasons why Lu Xuan was framed.
After hearing enough, Su Junfeng immediately looked at Lu Xuan: "Does Lu County Order have anything to say?" β
Lu Xuan stepped forward: "On the day of the crime, I was in the government office, and the people gathered at the door could testify. β
"But the people gathered around the main gate, and when you deliberated, you planned to leave through the side gate." Xie Qingshan instantly dismissed Lu Xuan's words.
Feng Wukuan couldn't stand it and stepped forward to testify for Lu Xuan: "At that time, Lord Lu was indeed in the mansion, and the lower officials had been with the lord all the time. β
Hearing this, Wang Ji'an, who was watching the excitement on the side, also interjected: "Everyone said that this matter was planned by the two of you, so you will naturally talk to her." β
It seems that what Feng Wukuan and these officials said now is not enough to prove it.
Lu Xuan suddenly fell into deep thought, and it was not until he remembered Xie Qingshan's nonsense that he found a loophole.
"Xie Zhutou, you just said that you heard the official and Master Feng talking in the room on the eve of the crime, do you still remember the hour?" Lu Xuan walked up to Xie Qingshan and asked.
Xie Qingshan said casually: "It's late at night, such an unsightly thing is naturally in the dead of night." β
Very good, just what Lu Xuan meant, she immediately asked: "Then can you confirm that the day is correct?" β
Xie Qingshan nodded, and Lu Xuan walked to Su Jun's cover with a contemptuous face: "Lord Qiqi, according to what Xie Qingshan said, this case really has nothing to do with Lu. β
Everyone was stunned when they heard this, and Su Junfeng didn't know why: "How to say this." β
Lu Xuan lowered his eyes and smiled: "Don't hide it, the lower official has a bosom friend named Qingpei in Wangchun Tower, and during that time, the lower official would go to Wangchun Tower every evening, unfortunately, the day Xie Qingshan said it, it was the same." β
Hearing this, Xie Qingshan, who had just said it, suddenly had a hint of panic in his eyes that was not easy to detect.
After being silent for a moment, he said forcefully: "Who doesn't know that Qingpei is already your person, she is naturally the same as Master Feng, and she will definitely protect you in everything." β
Lu Xuan had expected that Xie Qingshan would refute this, and then the corners of his mouth hooked: "Not only Qingpei, everyone in Wangchun Tower can testify." β
In this way, as long as he goes to Wangchun Tower to obtain a confession, even if it cannot be proved that Lu Xuan has nothing to do with this case, at least it can be measured whether Xie Qingshan is full of nonsense.
After thinking about it for a long time, Su Junfeng immediately got up: "Since this is the case, this official will personally go to Wangchun Tower to take a walk." β
Xie Qingshan and Wang Ji'an secretly colluded, thinking that it was done seamlessly, but it was still full of mistakes and omissions, but now as long as you go to Wangchun Tower to find someone to ask, you can distinguish between true and false.
At night, Su Junfeng immediately entered Wangchun Tower in civilian clothes, while Lu Xuan and the Wang family were grounded in the palace to wait for the results.
Lao Bao saw that the person who came was extraordinary, and suddenly showed his usual flattering face: "Yo, Gongzi's face, it's the first time I've come here, we're here......"
Before Lao Bao finished the formalities, Su Junfeng said with a serious face: "I'm looking for Miss Qingpei." β
As soon as he heard Qing Pei's name, Lao Bao suddenly hesitated: "Qing Pei, this ......"
Lu Xuan had specially instructed Qing Pei not to meet other guests before, and Lao Bao also nodded and agreed.
But right now, Lu Xuan has lost his position, and the person in front of him doesn't seem to be very human......
After weighing it, Lao Bao showed his face of recognizing money and not people, and hurriedly welcomed Su Junfeng to the private room.
At that time, Qing Pei was sitting in front of the bronze mirror worrying about Lu Xuan's day, and he heard the movement at the door before coming out.
As soon as she opened the door, she stared at the man solemnly, and she couldn't help but be shocked.
Immediately afterwards, Lao Bao also came from behind with a smile: "Qing Pei, this son is here, you have to serve him well." β
Lao Bao said that he was about to leave, Su Junfeng planned to stay, but he was preempted.
I saw Qing Pei full of anger: "Mom, you promised Lord Lu not to let me meet others, how can you go back on your word?" β
Qing Pei said this in front of Su Junfeng, and Lao Bao inevitably couldn't get off the stage, so he immediately walked to her side.
"That Lu Xuan will be brought down one day if he can't keep it, why are you so stubborn? This son ......"
Without waiting for Lao Bao to finish speaking, Qing Pei shook his face: "Mom, you don't need to say much, Qing Pei will not serve this son." β
Su Junfeng watched from the side, and had a few thoughts in his heart: It seems that this Qingpei is really Lu Xuan's good bosom friend, but this old bao, treacherous and downland, is not at all like having any friendship with Lu Xuan, what she said may be credible.
