Chapter 317: Confession
When she was watched by so many people, Ah Wan was actually a little nervous, but when she thought about it, she thought of her family who died tragically at the hands of the mountain bandits, thought of the collusion between Xu Shi and those mountain bandits, and thought of her unknowable fate in the future, she gave birth to a million courages! I saw her gritted her teeth and took a step forward, fell to her knees with a thud, and knocked her head heavily before saying: "Minnu Awan, a native of Zhaojia Village, beg the general to uphold justice for Awan!" ”
"Who are you going to sue and what grievances are you going to sue?"
Hearing this, Ah Wan choked up and said: "The folk girl wants to sue Liangzhou City Zhihu Xu Shizhi for breaking the law and deliberately encroaching on my family's land!" ”
In the confrontation in court, it is natural that there must be a plaintiff and a defendant, and after listening to Awan's statement of grievances, Heng Xinyuan asked people to invite Xu Shi over.
Nominally, it was please, but in fact, it was arrested, because the first thing Xu Shi did after hearing the wind was to run away, but fortunately, Heng Xinyuan and An Bingyu were ready early, as soon as he stepped out of his house, the guards had already arrested him, and now he should be on the way to the yamen.
One of the onlookers was relatively bold, and jumped out directly when he heard the sound.
"General, do you really know how to cure Xu Shi's sins?"
Heng Xinyuan glanced at him with a complicated expression, and then his eyes turned around on all the onlookers, and solemnly promised: "I don't know what happened in Liangzhou City, and I don't dare to promise anything easily, I can only say one thing in front of my father and fellow villagers, that is, I will definitely handle this case impartially, and if Xu Shi is guilty, he will be punished, if there is no crime, I will naturally let him go, you fathers and fellow villagers might as well watch me finish trying this case with your own eyes." ”
Xu was because Heng Xinyuan's words were too convincing, and the onlookers decisively chose to believe Heng Xinyuan.
The grievance in Ah Wan's mouth is actually a relatively small matter, and there are more people with greater grievances.
Seeing that Heng Xinyuan was willing to uphold justice for Ah Wan, they seemed to see hope, and decisively decided to stand up and identify Xu Shi!
"Master Heng, I also have grievances to say!"
"Master Heng, I have it too!"
For a while, the people who wanted to sue Xu Shi almost crowded the entire court, but fortunately, Heng Xinyuan's deterrent power in their eyes was enough, and it only took two sentences to calm down those people, and the so-called grievances in their mouths also had the opportunity to talk about it later, and Heng Xinyuan promised that he would definitely help them avenge their grievances.
When Xu Shi was escorted to the court, he saw such a scene.
He gritted his teeth and endured it for a long time before he let his anger out on the spot.
"You villains who have fallen into the ground!"
Someone sneered, as if he realized that Xu Shi was about to be pulled down, so he was not afraid of Xu Shi's anger.
"Lord Xu, you are embarrassed to say it, you don't want to think about what good things you have done in Liangzhou City for more than a year! Not only bullying men and women, but even encroaching on the land of good people, these days you have done all the bad things, don't you feel ashamed at all! Lord Xu, these things today are what you deserve, and we still think it didn't come early enough! ”
"Yes, you deserve it!"
Xu Shi grinded his teeth and was about to open his mouth to choke with them, but before he could say anything, Heng Xinyuan slapped the shocking wood.
"Silence!"
The originally chaotic court fell into silence because of Heng Xinyuan's words, and almost everyone's eyes were firmly fixed on Heng Xinyuan, and Heng Xinyuan was staring at Xu Shi.
"Lord Xu, Miss Awan from Zhaojia Village just now sued you for encroaching on the people's land, if you don't give up the land, you will kill the whole family, is this true?"
Xu Shi shook his head again and again, and insisted that this was a fake case: "How is this possible, Lord Heng, don't you think it's strange, that girl named Ah Wan has seen me a long time ago, if she really has a grudge against me, how could she not know that she was going to have a seizure until now, I think this Ah Wan must have been bought by the mountain bandits, so she deliberately framed me, Lord Heng, you must be the master for me!" ”
Heng Xinyuan frowned: "Do you have any evidence?" ”
Xu Shiyu paused for a moment before saying: "Although the lower official has no evidence, the lower official can question Miss Awan's evidence, if Miss Awan can come up with it......"
Wan Bingyu silently observed the situation beside him, and couldn't help but get annoyed when he heard this.
This Xu Shi is so poisonous, he obviously knew that the whole village of Zhaojia Village died at the hands of mountain bandits, and later in order to prevent the plague, Zhaojia Village was burned again, even if Ah Wan has evidence, then I am afraid it was a past thing, he asked such a question in front of everyone, in addition to poking Ah Wan's heart to make her uncomfortable, there is also the meaning of humiliating Ah Wan.
If it weren't for the fact that this was above the court, Wan Bingyu really wanted to give Xu Shi two ear scrapers.
Awan, who was openly troubled by Xu Shi, was calmer than she imagined.
"I have no evidence ......"
Xu Shi sneered, and his eyes swept coldly over Ah Wan's face: "I laughed to death, and I dare to sue the court officials without evidence, this is the following crime, this is slander, slandering the court officials is a serious crime, Lord Heng enforces the law impartially, and he will definitely make the decision for the lower officials, right?" ”
Heng Xinyuan squeezed out two words from between his teeth: "Of course." “
Ah Wan has no evidence to prove that Xu Shi has encroached on their family's land, and the other people who are eager to sue Xu Shi have also wilted, they never thought that Xu Shi would fall, so they did not keep any special evidence, alas, if they had known that Lord Heng would come back, they should have kept all the things Xu Shi had done and all the things left behind......
Heng Xinyuan looked at the dejected appearance of the people, and sighed and rejoiced in his heart, fortunately, he did not cast hope on them from the beginning.
Heng Xinyuan still has one last card.
"Bring people in."
In Xu Shi's confused gaze, the guards slowly escorted two people to the court, one was a messenger who luckily came out of the ghost gate, and the other was someone who wanted to kill him.
As soon as he looked at the man's face, Xu Shi knew that he was finished.
Heng Xinyuan asked about the identities of the two, and learned that one of the two was a messenger and the other was a close confidant of Xu Shi, his eyes began to become subtle, he looked at the messenger's face and asked, "This person did say that he came by order when he did it to you?" ”
The messenger fell to his knees with a thud: "How dare the villain talk nonsense about such a big thing?" He did say that he came on order, and he also said the name of Lord Xu Shi, and the villain really heard it, and there was absolutely no mistake. ”
Heng Xinyuan turned his gaze to Xu Shi's cronies again: "Were you instructed by Lord Xu Shi?" ”
The cronie lowered his face, not daring to look at Xu Shi's face at all.
I don't know what punishment the guards used on him in private, when faced with this question, he only hesitated for a moment: "The villain was indeed instructed by Lord Xu, Lord Xu said that the general Your letter can't be sent back to the capital, so he instructed the villain to kill the messenger and snatch the letter!" ”
