Chapter 19 The tip of the needle to the wheat
Xu Yang was embarrassed by Yun Yang's words, the first time he went to the court, he was not skilled in many things, and his heart was even more unstable, so when he was against An Feng, he always fell behind.
Looking at An Feng's confident appearance in front of him, Xu Yang really didn't understand why he was so jerky as a person who had just passed the litigation exam, but An Feng was always calm, as if everything was under her control.
In fact, in Xu Yang's eyes, how could An Feng, who was calm and relaxed, not be nervous, this was her first case, and her father took her father to defend herself on weekdays, or she was a little fight, but this time, it was up to her to fight for her employer's innocence single-handedly, how could she not be nervous and afraid.
But even if you are nervous, An Feng still remembers her father's instructions, the lawyer who goes to the court is a soldier who fights for the employer, and all the hopes of the employer are pinned on you, even if you are afraid of being nervous or the lawyer you face is outstanding, you must remain calm and confident, only in this way, your aura stands, the employer sees hope in you, and the adult who will be tried will be easier to be persuaded by you, so even if it is difficult to litigate, you can't take half a step back in momentum.
An Feng put his hands behind his back, glanced at the nervous Xu Yang, and then lowered his hand to his side, and said to the chief judge, "Three adults, although Wang Yangtang's lawyer advocates convincing people with reason, our side wants to convince people with law, otherwise it will go against the housekeeper's intention to legislate." The testimony of the maid beside Li Gongzi is an established evidence, and naturally it cannot be ignored by us in a few words, and in the same way, the testimony of our witnesses is equally important. ”
An Feng said this, and saw the eyes of the chief judge and motioned her to continue, "Both parties have key witnesses, so these two witnesses need to go to court and be cross-examined by the three parties, so that their testimony can be true and valid, and they cannot be convicted based on the testimony of Li Gongzi's maid alone." When we applied for witnesses to go to court, we were ready for the tripartite cross-examination, and only in this way can the testimony of the witnesses be true and effective, and let everyone understand that the murderer is by no means Li Gongzi. ”
An Feng bowed his hand, "Please ask the three adults to let the witnesses from both sides come to the court, and the three parties will cross-examine them." ”
"An Feng's request is reasonable, the evidence for applying for witnesses to go to court is reasonable and well-founded, and the witnesses are summoned to court." After the three adults of the triage discussed, the presiding judge announced.
Hearing this, An Feng exhaled, in order to be able to protect Yu'er, he had to let her go to court quickly, if it was according to the normal procedure, in order to win the lawsuit more confidently, he should let Yu'er come out after removing Li Gongzi's criminal suspicion, so that Li Gongzi's grievances would be foolproof.
But because Yu'er was in danger, in order for her to get better protection from the government, she had to let her come out early and tie up an antagonistic relationship with Li Gongzi's maid, which could also catch the opposing lawyer off guard, if the other party's lawyer had some experience, it didn't matter, but An Feng grasped Xu Yang's easy to get nervous, and when he found that An Feng's defense order was different from the news, he would be nervous.
At this time, Yu'er came to the hall, her body trembling, and her eyes were full of fear.
"Lawyer Anfeng, the witness has arrived, if you have any questions, you can start asking." The presiding judge pulled back everyone's thoughts.
An Feng approached Yu'er and comforted him softly, "Yu'er, don't be afraid, you just need to tell us what you know, you know?" ”
Yu'er listened to An Feng's gentle voice, and her heart seemed to have something to rely on, and the fear dissipated slightly in her eyes, leaving only red eyes, "I am the personal girl of the eldest lady of the Yun family, on the wedding day of the eldest lady, let me bring a chef here, the chef's knife work is exquisite, and the young lady likes it, this is nothing, the young lady has been pampered since she was a child, and she should have eaten something good on the wedding day, but after I led the chef into the door that day, the chef did not go to the kitchen, but kept guarding outside the young lady's new house, which is very strange." ”
Yu'er's words made an instant uproar in the hall, and everyone in the hall was discussing, Xu Yang also frowned, but Yuan Yi was still silent, with a smile on his face. Yuan Yi is a first-class lawyer in Wang Yangtang, and he is very famous in Songjiang Mansion, and after Wang Lao was banned from sueting, Yuan Yi took Xu Yang with him.
"Witness, is this true? Do you have any evidence? The chief interrogator asked.
Yu'er was a little scared because of the presiding judge's majestic voice, but looking at An Feng's encouraging eyes, she held her head high and said, "I don't have any evidence, I can only explain everything I know, and Ying'er next to Li Gongzi lied, on the day Miss Liuli died, not only did she quarrel with Li Gongzi, but Miss also had a quarrel with Miss Liuli, and the chef invited by Miss was waiting outside the door, and then the chef and Miss left with Miss Liuli." ”
The chief judge listened and asked, "What else do you know?" ”
Yu'er replied, "Li Gongzi's almost death in prison was not an accident, but a conspiracy between Miss and Wang Lawyer, Miss wanted to get Li Gongzi's letter of resignation, so she asked Wang Lawyer to deceive Li Gongzi, and after getting the letter of resignation, she let Li Gongzi drink poisonous wine." ”
Yu'er's words made the onlookers feel cold behind their backs, and the most poisonous woman's heart is nothing more than that, and I don't know why this Miss Yunfu is so extreme, not only killing Liuli but also killing her husband.
"What else do you know, witness?" The presiding judge asked again.
Yu'er shook her head, "No." ”
The presiding judge nodded, "Does An Feng Advocate have something to say?" ”
"Yes."
An Feng looked at the presiding judge and said, "The testimony of the witnesses forms a complete chain of evidence with the two pieces of evidence presented earlier, and the post-mortem notes can prove that Li Gongzi is not suspected of murder, and the murderer prefers a chef who always uses knives and refines them by hand." Secondly, the red cloth strip in the deceased's hand proves that Miss Yunfu is more suspected of murder than Li Gongzi, and again, Yu'er's testimony can prove that the murderer is the chef, and Miss Yunfu is the mastermind of the matter, and the three pieces of evidence correspond and connect with each other, therefore, the murderer who killed Liuli is not Li Gongzi, but the chef hired by Miss Yunfu. ”
After listening to An Feng's words, the presiding judge looked at Xu Yang again, "Lawyer An Feng has already stated his opinion, and Lawyer Wang Yangtang can speak." ”
After Xu Yang bowed to the presiding judge, he slowly walked towards Yu'er, Xu Yang's face kept smiling, but Yu'er was so scared that he couldn't help but take a step back, An Feng saw this and stopped in front of Yu'er, "Xu Yang's lawyer should keep some distance and ask questions." ”
Xu Yang stopped and looked sideways at Yu'er, "Miss Yu'er, don't be afraid, I don't eat people, I just ask questions." ”
An Feng stepped aside, and Xu Yang asked Yu'er, "Are Miss Yu'er sure what she said is true?" And not because someone instructed it or because of resentment? ”
"Everything I said is true." Yu'er didn't know why Xu Yang, who was smiling, was so terrible, but because An Feng was by his side, he said boldly.
Hearing this, Xu Yang laughed, and his voice was even softer, "Miss Yu'er, have you ever had a conflict with Miss Yunfu?" ”
Yu'er shook her head, "I've been serving Miss well, but Miss instructed me to do murder, not only that, but after the incident, she also wanted to kill me, just now, I almost died at the hands of the killer she hired." ”
When Xu Yang heard Yu'er say this, he suddenly put away his smile, his face was serious, and his voice was even less soft than just now, "Miss Yu'er is dishonest." ”
"What I said is true." Yu'er argued.
At this time, Xu Yang took out a piece of paper from his sleeve and said to the chief judge, "Chief judge, this is Yu'er's application for resignation a few days ago, and Songjiang Mansion has proof of hiring slaves, and at the same time, those slaves who have been hired for five years have to apply to their employers, Yu'er was discovered because of stealing and submitted a request for resignation, but Miss Yunfu is lenient, Yu'er has served her since she was a child, Miss Yunfu is naturally reluctant and willing not to blame the past, but Yu'er has intensified and stolen more money. Therefore, he has a grudge against Miss Yunfu. ”
"You are talking nonsense, obviously after I came back from prison, Miss was worried, so Mother Liu gave me two silver taels and asked me to leave as soon as possible, but I was afraid of Miss and took the letter of resignation that Miss asked Li Gongzi to write, if it weren't for that, I would have been killed."
"If you are as you said, you serve Miss Yunfu with all your heart, then the monthly payment is not low, but why did you suddenly quit a few days before the incident?"
"I ......," Yu'er bowed her head.
An Feng said on the side at this time, "So Xu Yang's lawyer put forward this opinion to prove that what Yu'er said was because of her resentment against Miss Yunfu, and her testimony was perjury?" ”
Xu Yang nodded, "Miss Yu'er kept saying that Miss Yunfu had a quarrel with Liuli, and hired a chef to kill Liuli, but Miss Yunfu is everyone's best girl, how could she quarrel with a girl in the hall, and besides, if it is a quarrel, why no one in the Li Mansion knows, only Yu'er knows?" Secondly, Miss Yunfu didn't know Li Gongzi before, although she became Li Gongzi's wife, but Miss Yunfu learned three obedience and four virtues since she was a child, how could she kill a girl of unknown origin? ”
An Feng put forward the main points, "The two points you put forward to refute the errors of Yu'er's testimony are that Yu'er has a contradiction with Miss Yunfu, and the other is that Miss Yunfu has no motive to kill. But so? ”
Xu Yang smiled, "That's right." ”
An Feng also smiled, "First, just a resignation application can't prove that Yu'er has a conflict with Miss Yunfu, it can only prove that Yu'er wants to leave Yunfu." Second, if as you said, Yu'er wanted to quit her job because she was stealing in Yunfu, according to the law of our dynasty, it is a felony for a slave to steal the employer's finances, and the first time you steal, you must file it, even if the employer has mercy, but the filing is a requirement of the government. Therefore, Miss Yun must be recorded, but she can request that Yu'er not be disposed of. ”
Xu Yang shook his head, "Miss Yunfu has pity for Yu'er, so she tried her best to hide it, and there was no record. ”
An Feng looked at Xu Yang, "Since you have no evidence, what are you talking to me?" ”
Xu Yang's face changed slightly, and Yuan Yi on the side said at this time, "Yu'er's theft has two silver witnesses to prove it, although there is no record, but it also indicates that there is a contradiction between Yu'er and Miss Yunfu. ”
An Feng wanted to laugh when he heard this, "If you want to falsify evidence, you should forge it better, as you said, Miss Yunfu can't bear Yu'er's repeated thefts, so she has to report to the official, and Yu'er will take revenge and bite Miss Yunfu, so may I ask, why is the official who caused the conflict between Miss Yunfu and Yu'er not filed now?" If there is no such thing, where is the contradiction? ”
