When he arrived in Yeyang, Meng Li was asking Ji Yong if he needed to hire a lawyer, but Ji said no.

Kang Pozi hesitated for a long time and asked Ji Xiu'e the same question.

Ji Xiu'e's face was gloomy, and she didn't know what she was thinking, and she didn't reply.

Kang Pozi thought left and right, and still wanted to get a hand for her daughter, so she planned to find a cheap one in the lawyer's alley.

Seeing this, Zhu pulled her aside.

"Mother, don't be confused! No matter how cheap it is to find a lawyer, it will cost a few taels of silver, where can we get it now? You don't have enough of these, so you can't even hear a sound when you go out, or you and your father's coffin......

What's more, the eldest sister has admitted it, so many people in the village listened, she couldn't turn over, rather than throw it out in vain, it was better to stay and give me Mingmao...... No, it's for the fourth brother, for the fourth brother to study, hasn't the fourth brother been making trouble recently to retake the Xiucai?

Besides, the girl didn't invite a lawyer, and the eldest sister didn't suffer if she didn't invite her. ”

Kang Pozi was in a trance, she felt that this sound very familiar.

Yes, that's how Xiu'e persuaded her at the beginning.

persuaded her not to waste money on the second child's treatment, and persuaded her to save the money for the fourth child to study......

Kang Pozi thought about the fourth child who had been making trouble recently, turned around to look at the eldest girl with her head down, and took her open palm back little by little...... What Xiu'e can understand, Xiu'e can definitely understand.

After Ji came to Yeyang to open a store, out of curiosity, he specifically learned about litigation-related matters.

The county government starts working every morning and disperses at dusk. The daily ascension of county officials is divided into morning hall, middle hall and evening hall.

Shengtang is not like in the TV series she once watched, only trying one case a day.

However, it is the same to allow the people to stand by, except that the people who are watching are not allowed to speak freely, otherwise they will be expelled.

When they arrived, a civil dispute was being heard inside the yamen.

The younger brother borrowed ten taels of silver to his brother to do business, but after the brother started business, not only did he not pay back the money, but he also beat his younger brother. The younger brother accused his brother of being unkind, and the elder brother cried that he could not be blackmailed.

Such cases are very common, they are trivial and trivial, and there are few bystanders.

However, the pedestrians on the street saw that they were fighting so much, and they felt that there was a lively scene to see, and it was not people who followed them all the way to the gate of the county office.

The officials guarding the door are accustomed to seeing the world, and they can't help but take a few more looks.

Meng Li is coming forward to report the origin of his name and surname, and asks if he can be tried for today's report.

The official said that it was the last case today, and there was no case to be tried later, and Master Pan had already notified him that the newcomers would accept it directly, and there was no need to schedule it, so let them wait on the side.

While waiting, the people who came to see the excitement couldn't help but be curious, so they asked the villagers about it.

The villagers from Dafeng Village heard the evil things that Ji Xiu'e had done, and they hadn't digested them yet, and they had nowhere to say it.

As a result, this statement could not be contained, accompanied by one after another alarm, more and more pedestrians were attracted to come, and in the end the officials guarding the door had to come forward to maintain order, and even those who were watching in the yamen couldn't help but be distracted, hooking their heads and looking straight out.

Two quarters of an hour later, the drums of retreat were finally heard.

However, this withdrawal is not a real withdrawal, it only means that one game is over, and after a short intermission, the next one can be reviewed.

The original intermission was a cup of tea, but after two teas, there was still no news of the promotion, and everyone was a little anxious.

There is a drum stand on the east side of the county government gate, and a big drum is placed on the drum stand, which is specially used for the complainant to beat the drum and shout injustice.

However, it is limited to human life cases and cannot be used casually. But as long as the complainant beats the drum, the magistrate must be promoted to the board of directors.

Ji walked over in a few steps, pulled out the drumstick, and beat the big drum fiercely in the eyes of everyone.

Sure enough, as soon as the drums fell, I heard three drums from inside, and the three classes of officials stood in unison, shouting "ascend to the hall" in unison.

Pan Jiadao came out of the warm pavilion with a white face, sat down in the lobby again, and after a "mighty" sound, the plaintiff and the defendant were brought up.

As soon as Ji stepped into the gate with one foot, the old Taoist priest ran over with a bamboo banner and gasping.

"Amitabha, you said that you didn't inform me in advance, I almost didn't catch up with the old way......"

The hall was stunned, and the hall was silent.

Pan Jiadao has been an official for many years, and he has tried countless cases, and many bizarre cases have been seen by many outrageous people, but this is the first time like today.

If the facts of the case are appalling, it is not without incident.

But if you are ready to take this kind of pleadings, human witnesses, and physical evidence to the court, you will see you for the first time.

Moreover, the plaintiff himself, his daughter's body and young age, not only did he not have any fear in going to court, but he was calm and frank, and he could deal with whatever he asked in court.

On the other hand, those who were summoned to the court together, except for Meng Lizheng, the old Taoist priest, and the scar-faced man, most of the remaining people came to the yamen for the first time, facing the sea water and sunrise map, the high hanging plaque of the mirror, and the two rows of water and fire sticks with brushes, all trembling and frightened, kneeling on the lobby and not even daring to raise their heads, and trembling non-stop.

Pan Jiadao's gaze stayed on Ji Erzi for a moment, and then read the complaint again.

In the pleadings, the ins and outs, the causes and consequences are neither complicated and unjointed, nor empty and ambiguous, in short, they are analyzed in detail and are very accurate and clear.

The feeling to Pan Jiadao is that he doesn't even need to think about it, just follow the process.

But the trouble lies in the problem, this season is both the plaintiff and the defendant. And Ji Xiu'e, who she sued, is both a defendant and a plaintiff.

Ji sued Ji Xiu'e for three major crimes

The first crime is to murder his own brother.

The second crime is the abduction and sale of relatives and nephews.

The third crime is to collude with the physiognomist to destroy the niece's name first, and the mother's family sent the niece to be buried later, and even directly came to the door with a knife to commit murder today.

In addition, there are a number of additional crimes, such as maliciously framing a brother with tuberculosis and causing her death.

If what the complaint says is true, even if you don't look at those additional crimes, just based on the three major crimes of the main charge, Ji Xiu'e deserves death.

What's more, there are still human and material evidence in the season.

In terms of witnesses, an old Taoist priest came forward to testify about Ji Xiu'e's secret conversation with the housekeeper of Baifu, and the villagers of Dafeng Village heard her admit to the above crimes.

In terms of physical evidence, Ji Xiu'e's self-written crime book is the biggest killing weapon.

After the last conversation with Ji, Ji Xiu'e seemed to have died of her heart to defend herself, ignored Ji's statement, and even put aside the origin of the guilt book, and only accused him of conspiring with Guan Shan to kill Huang Juncai.

In civil litigation, the original defendant has the burden of proof and the right to defend himself, and the county magistrate mainly relies on the testimony of the original defendant and witnesses

Ji Xiu'e obviously has the heart of dying and breaking the net, which anyone can see, she doesn't care if she dies or not, she just wants to drag Ji to die together.

She insisted that it was the Ji couple who killed her son, and said it over and over again. However, when Poon asked her to give evidence, she had no evidence to present.

When it was Ji Zi's turn, she repeated what she had said in front of the villagers again.

Time, place, and physical strength, which were originally beneficial to her, became less favorable to Guan Shan.

Even if someone can confirm where he left Dafeng Village during the day and went afterward, no one can confirm when he returned to Dafeng Village and where he went all night.

Even if Ji insisted that she slept with Guan Shan all night, she was Guan Shan's wife, and her testimony was not convincing at all.

This is known by looking at Pan Jiadao's eyes.

Fortunately, the verdict will not be pronounced in court, and after the testimony of both parties is obtained, a retrial will be conducted three days later, and the verdict will be made after the review.

These three days are the deadline for the yamen to carry out verification, and they are also the key to deciding everything.
