Meng Zhan appeared refreshed, "Who is kneeling?" So what's going on? ”

The bitter lord and the defendant said the righteousness of the father-in-law, and the mother-in-law said the mother-in-law's reasoning, and told the story again, which was generally not bad.

First of all, it was the deceased and a group of idle people who waited on the horse farm to make trouble, this was the most critical fuse, Zhao Chengcai immediately found out first, "This injustice has a head, the debtor has the owner, and no matter what the deceased died, if it weren't for the greed of these people, to my house to make trouble, there would never be such a disaster, if it is said that there is a reason, the deceased himself will have to bear a large part of the responsibility"

His argument is very important, not just to let people pull at the dead person, but to figure out why the dead man. Even if the gang insisted that Yan Bo hurt people, it can also be said that Yan Bo acted in self-defense, and as the manager of the racecourse, he has the responsibility to protect the owner's racecourse, and from this point of view, he has not done anything wrong.

The master over there had nothing to say, only biting one, "Then you can't kill people, there are provisions in the law, even if the deceased took the initiative to go to your horse farm, did he steal the horse?" No, did you damage the property of your horse farm? No, then, if what he did did did not pose a threat to your horse farm, why should you people in your horse farm put people to death? ”

Zhao Chengcai sneered, "Then do you have to say that they have to steal all the horses in our horse farm and let us go before we can defend ourselves?" Dare to ask this gentleman, is it true that there is a thief in your house, and you have to wait for him to steal all the things in your house before you can take this thief? Even if you see strangers rummaging through your home and not being indifferent? Besides, who said that the dead man was the one our fellow planned to kill him? This fact has not been clarified, you can't spew blood and ask the adults to summon the servants and doctors to testify in court."

Meng Zhan listened to them arguing happily, and he didn't squeak for a long time. Zhao Chengcai is obviously logical, not leaking, no need to ask, Master Chen must have helped him as a staff officer behind him. As for the deceased's family, Meng Zhan was more interested, an ignorant peasant woman could actually invite such a sharp-toothed teacher, I am afraid it was not her doing.

Now seeing Zhao Chengcai kicking the ball to him, he glanced at Qingbai next to him, and Qingbai immediately said, "Xuan Chengzuo and the doctor go to the court"

He and the doctor had been waiting for a long time, and when they came in, they first presented their testimony, "There are 12 bruises and bruises on the deceased's body, ranging in size, and the fatal one is caused by someone breaking the cervical vertebrae from behind. ”

The deceased's mother-in-law immediately howled again, "Xianggong, how miserable did you die? Why did you beat people to death?"

"Quiet" Meng Zhan couldn't stand the noise anymore, and slapped the ground on the ground, and the woman choked and swallowed all her crying back.

"Doctor, you say"

The doctor bowed and saluted, "Back to my lord, the deceased had been seriously ill with typhoid fever before his death, and his days were short. ”

"Oh? According to you, this patient was dragged out by force? ”

"In common sense, that's it."

Zhao Chengcai hurriedly seized the opportunity, "My lord, try to ask such a patient who can't move and drag people to our horse farm, what is his intention?" Besides, even if there is a fight, who will do anything to such a helpless patient? ”

Zhang Qingting only felt a flash of inspiration in his mind, as if something very important flashed like a meteor, but he couldn't wait for her to catch it, but he disappeared without a trace. What's that, exactly? She frowned, trying to grab that hint of inspiration.

The mother-in-law heard that the situation was wrong, and hurriedly said, "My lord, my father-in-law was sick at first, but he suddenly got better that day, so he went out with someone."

Zhao Chengcai immediately asked, "Since you said so, what evidence do you have?" ”

"Those who go with you are all proofs"

The master over there spoke out at the right time, "My lord, why don't you summon them to testify?" Let's also distinguish together."

Meng Zhan raised his eyes slightly, but wanted to hear how they should justify themselves, "Declare everyone guilty to go to court"

This time, the movement was too big, and dozens of people were crowded into the public hall as soon as Hulala was over, and it seemed that there was not enough space, so they knelt straight to the gate.

The other party asked the master first, looking for the leader, "Tell me, what was the situation that day, and how did the deceased go out with you?" ”

The man replied, "The deceased originally had some old acquaintances with the villain, because he heard that he was sick, and the villain went to visit him at home, and he said that he was sad and that he was sick again, and he spent a lot of money, so he wanted to make a windfall and solve the family's predicament." ”

"Are you saying that the dead instigated you to go to the horse farm and steal the horse?" The master interrogated, seemingly inadvertently blaming the deceased for all the blame.

"It was the deceased who once recognized a guy from the old man's house in the original horse farm, speaking of this horse farm, people from all over the country know that it was the pig killer who played tricks to get it, even if we went to get one or two horses, it would not be too much."

"That's right," the scoundrels even shouted, "This is not right, we are also robbing the rich and helping the poor"

"You guys are talking nonsense," Zhang Facai was so angry that his face was red, and he argued with a few little guys. The more noisy it is, the more colorful it is on the face of the master. Strangely, Zhao Chengcai and Zhang Qingting didn't say a word.

I saw that Meng Zhan's face instantly became gloomy, and he shouted loudly, "In broad daylight, you actually went to the homes of good people to loot property, and you dare not be ashamed." Twenty in the palm of your hand"

The scoundrels were all stunned, only the master suddenly changed color, remembered something, but he couldn't remedy it, so he had to lower his head and let Meng Zhan punish him.

"Hmph, the Shen family's horse farm did not repay its debts, and it was determined by the official himself that it was sold to the Zhao family. The contract is readily available, and it is written innocently, and you say that she got it by tricks, so isn't that slandering the official for not being able to judge the case clearly? If he is not satisfied, it should be the Shen family who has come to sue and reason, how can he wait for a small and presumptuous night? Which one dares to say half a sentence is not, the official will be severely punished."

This time he really stole chickens and didn't eat rice, just thinking about smearing the faces of Zhang Qingting and his wife, so he might as well offend the county master. As an official, the most important reputation is clear, and other Meng Zhan can tolerate it, but he will not tolerate this kind of thing

At the next order, a crackling sound sounded, and after twenty strokes, the faces of the gang were red and swollen like steamed buns, and they were all honest.

Continue to try the case, or ask the leading man, "After the deceased and you have consulted, they will meet at the horse farm?" ”

Han's mouth ached and nodded.

"Then how did you get into a fight and get killed?"

Now he couldn't answer with a nod and shake his head, Han's hands were shackled, and he had to rub his swollen and sore cheeks with his arms before he spoke, "It's all because of him"

He pointed to Yan Bo, who had been quietly watching the ground in the corner, "It's all his head"

"And how did he provoke it?"

Zhao Chengcai and Zhang Qingting glanced at each other, and the real goal was finally exposed.

"Not long after we arrived at the racecourse, he came. Shouting and shouting to kill, very arrogant and we can't be angry, of course, we reasoned with him, it was he who started to fight first, and I also called for helpers," he pointed at Zhang Facai and others, "The little man we fought was very ruthless, he was a practitioner, and he also killed people The most ruthless, we all suffered losses under him, but fortunately, we survived with thick skin and thick flesh, only the deceased, who was already sick, couldn't stand his beating, and lost his life."

The master immediately followed his words and said, "My lord, now that the facts have been basically ascertained, these people are lawless, although they should be punished, but the crime does not lead to death, but the culprit of the murder must not let him go, since he has also killed people in the past, and the two crimes are punished together, he should be condemned to be killed."

It's really ruthless, Zhao Chengcai took a step forward, "My lord, can I ask a few words?" ”

"You ask"

Zhao Chengcai didn't ask Yan Bo first, but asked Na Han, "Excuse me, how did you plot with my guy at that time, that is, Ah Li's theory?" ”

"I ......" The man was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Zhao Chengcai to ask him such a question, to tell the truth, he couldn't say it, so he had to make up nonsense, "I said that we would borrow a few horses for use, but he didn't allow it, scolded us as robbers, and said that if we didn't leave, we would all be killed."

"Then how did you get there?"

"We ...... We told him not to be so stingy, but he refused, so he rushed up and beat people."

"And how many helpers were standing around him when he rushed up and beat people?"

"It's those people in your family."

"A bunch of nonsense" Zhao Chengcai glared angrily, "You go back and count, there are a total of nineteen people who went to our racecourse to make trouble, except for the deceased, all of them are twenty-year-old men in the prime of life, and there are only six small servants and two children in our racecourse, and then there are only fathers-in-law, uncles and Ali people." There are eleven of them, the old and the young, and they are all tied together, and I am afraid they are not your opponents, but what about you? With so many people, could it be that he just stood there and waited for him to fight? ”

The man said in a hurry, "He is good"

"Ah Li is a good skill, but he never hits people for no reason, why did he hit you?"

Fuqing couldn't help but scream, "It's because they insulted Brother Ali, not only scolded him, but also scolded his parents, and the scolding was so ugly that Brother Ali started beating people."

The master immediately interjected, "My lord Mingjian, now they all admit that it was Na Ali who beat him first, please punish him for his crime, so as to prove justice."

Zhao Chengcai replied coldly, "Sir, if someone else insults your ancestors, you can still be indifferent, and it's not too late to punish such a crime."

Ignoring the man's anger, Zhao Chengcai walked to Yan Bo's side, "Ah Li, tell everyone, have you killed anyone?" ”

Yan Bo still looked at the ground, but quietly spit out a sentence, "The villain is guilty and willing to be punished"
