Chapter 590: Presiding over the Lan Court
Lan Ting gave the Zhang family enough time to respond to the lawsuit this time, and it was not until Huang Wen and Huang Wu were arrested for half a month that he finally issued a notice to convene a public trial and summoned Zhang Kuang's father and son to the court, which made Zhang Kuang almost misunderstand Mrs. Zhang's bribery Although the process was bizarre, the result was quite effective.
When he was suddenly summoned, he had a sense of "how could it be so".
It wasn't until he arrived at the county government and saw the black head in his eyes that Zhang Jingyu was a little nervous, but at this time he had no way to make up for it in front of everyone, and he could only hope that his youngest son could survive this catastrophe.
The person presiding over the trial is Lan Ting this time.
But he didn't rush to interrogate Zhang Yundu, and he didn't even give Zhang Kuang an obvious dismissal, and allowed Zhang Kuang to sit in front of the hall first - because there were too many onlookers, Lan Ting decided to hold the trial in the main courtyard outside the yatang, and he himself was still sitting outside the yatang, and even His Royal Highness King Zhou voluntarily condescended to sit in front of the hall.
Most of the people knew that Vice Envoy Zhao was young, but today they witnessed that Vice Envoy Zhao was really young.
Gong Wang, as one of the people involved in the case, was naturally present today, and he was quite honored, which irritated King Zhou a little, and he spoke with bad intentions: "How do I feel that you want to be a wingman more?" ”
"Your Highness, don't get me wrong, although Deputy Envoy Zhao is talented, but it is too cold, looking polite and polite, in fact, he rejects people for thousands of miles, the kid is afraid of the cold, although he respects it, he respects it but respects it far away, His Royal Highness is much more interesting than Deputy Envoy Zhao."
Interesting? King Zhou felt as if he had been officially stamped with a stupid stamp.
But at this time, he was full of regret that Chungui couldn't come here to watch because of his identity, in the end, he was actually suspicious until this time, and he couldn't figure out how Lan Ting could judge the Infinity Garden murder case in front of everyone, let alone the many spider-like secrets behind this seemingly ordinary murder case, they didn't have ironclad evidence in their hands, and it was impossible to torture and extract confessions in front of so many people, how would the case be tried?
Not even Mo Wenxiaodao was there!
King Zhou glanced at Lan Ting, who was sitting precariously, and felt a kind of frustration helplessly, because he had to admit that although he couldn't imagine the process, but if he could imagine the result, Lan Ting would not lose, and he believed in the people in front of him more than he believed in his father, King Zhou raised his eyes and looked ...... Yes, Lan Ting didn't even hang a plaque hanging high on his head!
Damn, why doesn't the Lin'an County Ya have a plaque hanging high! He was until this time
I found out!
The first thing to be brought up was the gift box presented by Mrs. Zhang.
Because of such a peculiar situation, Lan Ting didn't even have to shoot the shocking wood.
"Zhang Gong knows this painting scroll, right?" This was Lan Ting's first question, and his tone was not high, like an extremely cold noise, but because of the silence of the audience, he was heard clearly.
Some officials shook off the scroll, and the content of the painting turned out to be guilty.
Lin Xiangru on the painting is gorgeously dressed and crowned, which seems to be in line with the image of important ministers and magnates at a glance, but the other protagonist Lian Po is painted with a roe deer's head and a mouse eye, a servile face, like Qin Hui kneeling in front of the statue of Yue Wangye......
Today's onlookers are not limited to ordinary people, there are celebrities and Confucian scholars, and when they see this painting, they will inevitably exchange their heads and ears, and even some outspoken people will comment loudly.
Zhang Kuang admitted in confusion: "This painting was given to Neizi by Lao Er as a gift to Gu Yiren." ”
"Worthless?" Lan Ting asked with a smile.
Zhang Kuang struggled inwardly, and had to argue: "Because I was afraid of preparing a generous gift, I would be rejected, so I ...... Only expressed the heart. ”
Lan Ting's head was bowed: "Although the painting is not worth a penny, the meaning is still appropriate for the occasion, but Zhao and Neiko have not been harmed, and they should not be punished through the ages." ”
When Gong Wang heard this, he slapped King Zhou's knee: "Wonderful, Deputy Envoy Zhao directly regarded this painting as Qin Hui, hehe, Zhang Kuang dares to boast of being honest like this?" Comparing him to Qin Hui also insulted Qin Lao's literary talent. ”
He also saw Lan Ting hand over the painting to the officials: "Hanging outside the yamen, thinking that the police province and the officials cannot bend the law, and they must not lose their benevolence for the sake of the rich." ”
Lan Ting didn't wait for Zhang Kuang to argue, and continued: "Zhang Gong said that he didn't prepare a generous gift, he was really humble, the gold jewelry that Neiko received that day was worth two hundred gold, otherwise how could such a painting fill a huge brocade box?" However, His Royal Highness has already confirmed that Zhang Gonggong has caused hundreds of casualties over the years, and none of the miners' families have been compensated, and the two hundred gold is not enough to appease the families of the victims, so His Royal Highness has no choice but to compensate the families who are worried about injuries and illnesses first, and the two hundred gold is just a drop in the bucket. ”
King Zhou immediately understood, and hurriedly gave a scholar recommended by Gong Wang a look, asked him to take the lead, and brought all the beneficiaries to the front of the hall.
This is a necessary affirmation that although they received money from the Zhang family, they did not enjoy it for personal use, and every penny was actually used on the families of the casualties and bribes
The plan is wrong, but the person who "takes bribes" is selfless.
"When His Royal Highness promised Gong Yuanwai to retry the murder case of Infinity Garden, Gong Yuanwai did not know the identity of His Royal Highness, and he also paid a lot of money to rehabilitate the innocent, and it was the duty of His Royal Highness and our officials to rehabilitate the innocent, and he could not accept the honorarium, but Gong Yuanwai voluntarily donated this money to support the poor, His Royal Highness and this official, on behalf of the people of Lin'an, accepted Gong Yuanwai's sincerity, this money was used to open a good village, and to help the lonely, widows, sick and weak, and today publicly explained to the people of Lin'an, and will also ask the chief Li Zheng and the old gentry of the township to supervise the preparation of the village." Lan Ting signaled again.
This time, Gong Wang took the lead and offered several times more money than Zhang Kuang.
How can Zhang Jingyu sit still?
He took the case and questioned angrily: "My Zhang family sent money, Deputy Envoy Zhao gave bribes, Gong family sent gold, Deputy Envoy Zhao said that it was a good money, although I am a businessman, I can't afford to offend His Royal Highness King Zhou and the court officials, but Deputy Envoy Zhao is so unfair, Lao Er has to question, today's court is open for public trial, is Deputy Envoy Zhao to try the murder case of Infinity Garden, or force our Lin'an businessmen to raise funds and pay?!" ”
The word fundraising really stimulated the gentry and wealthy in Lin'an County.
is like the Gong family, if it weren't for the misfortune that came to them, they would be reluctant to take out this heavy amount of money as a donation, although Zhang Kuang's question sounded impetuous, but it was still lethal.
"Zhang Gong is also too anxious, haven't I been tried yet? Why is your Zhang family's money a bribe, and the Gong family is doing good, and there will naturally be a public opinion after the trial, but since Zhang Gong is anxious, then I will ask you first. As soon as Lan Ting's words fell, his expression was solemn, and he finally picked up the shocking wood and put it on the case: "Bring witnesses, Huang Wen and Huang Wu." ”
Zhang Jingyu's heart sank: Sure enough, these two people have been arrested!
Huang Wen and Huang Wu had already escaped with an iron heart, and after being caught, he confessed truthfully without torture at all, especially that Huang Wu, who knew everything: "Jing Xuan was not killed by Gong Dalang, the day before the crime, my brother and I saw Jing Xuan's body, but we really don't know who Jing Xuan was killed by, Thirteen Masters...... The thirteenth master told us not to say anything about the Infinite Garden, and later when the case was tried by the Tang County Public, he didn't let the two brothers go to court at all, so we naturally wouldn't talk nonsense, but, but, ...... The servant of the Gong family is dead, Liu Li is also dead, and we still know that it was the Thirteenth Master who falsely accused Gong Dalang! It's good that the case hasn't been overturned, but once the case is overturned, we are afraid of being killed. ”
"You—you're talking nonsense." Zhang Yundu's rebuttal was not strong at all.
