Volume 1 The Hidden Dragon in the Abyss Chapter 90 The Great Master of the Blue Sky
Just when the people outside the fence were talking, and Gu Xuan, who was drinking water on the side, couldn't help but stand up to stop this farce, Lu Yi on the stage suddenly slapped the startled wood in his hand, and said loudly: "This case has been closed, and the sheep is now sentenced to belong to Luo Xiaoliang, and Shen Yu will return it on the same day! If there is any delay, another crime will be punished! Then announce Wang Ping, Wang Rui and the two come forward!"
Shen Yu, who was originally kneeling in the audience, suddenly jumped up and shouted, and said angrily: "I don't accept it! My lord, that's my sheep! It's still in my family's pen! What reason do you sentence him! I don't accept it!"
Lu Yi on the stage lowered his eyebrows, continued to look at the other piece of paper in his hand, and was not angry, but said lightly: "If it is your own, it is impossible to give up a single cent to an outsider, but if it is not your own thing, you will happily agree if you can grab half of it, do you need me to say more?" You should have been imprisoned for the crime of theft, but now you can only be sentenced to return the stolen sheep, this is because the prince is determined to educate the people, and he can't bear to deal with them with criminal law. ”
The simple man in the audience was full of surprise, and he didn't care about the fact that Shen Yu, the thief, was not punished, and he didn't even ask what the compensation was, but he quickly knelt down, saluted, his eyes were full of tears, and shouted: "Lord Qingtian!"
As he spoke, he seemed to think of something again, and quickly knelt down towards Gu Xuan, who was listening on the other side, and shouted: "Thank you prince, thank you prince!"
Gu Xuan, who had just left his seat, didn't reply, but just picked up the water glass he had just put down to cover his face with some shame, lowered his head, and sat down quietly.
The other party sold his personal favor to himself, and he was still suspicious of him just now, and even laughed at him in his heart, he was naturally a little ashamed at the moment, and secretly said in his heart that he wanted to question the other party before he got the final result, this is his own instability, and he needs to pay attention.
As for Shen Yu in the audience, his face was gloomy and decadent, he collapsed weakly in place, his eyes were dull, and he let the officials behind him drag him down, and the crowd outside the venue suddenly burst into applause.
Everyone has a rod and scale in their hearts, and the people are even more direct, who is good and who is bad, seeing is believing, the reason why he hated the court before was because the previous county officials didn't care about their life or death at all, and only cared about making money, and now it seems that a master who can distinguish right from wrong and can uphold justice for them will naturally applaud such a good official.
Gu Xuan suddenly remembered what Gu Cang once said, no one can fool the people when they are fooled, the eyes of the masses are the brightest, and they can see at a glance who is good and who is bad.
A case was quickly closed, and at the moment, with the help of the officials, two more people walked through the fence and stepped forward.
This is called Wang Ping, a young man, wearing an ordinary gray-blue cloth coat, wearing a scribe's hat on his head, judging by his words and deeds, he is obviously also a person who has read for a few years, and the other person is a short middle-aged man, wearing the clothes of an ordinary domestic servant, standing in place, first saluting Gu Xuan, and then Chen Anmin on the side, after doing all this, he finally knelt down to worship Lu Yi on the stage.
"Are you Wang Rui?" Lu Yi asked with some confusion.
The middle-aged servant kneeling at the bottom with a flattering smile, clasped his hands, and responded: "Back to my lord, the younger one is the servant in the Wang family's mansion, surnamed Chen Mingwei, my lord Wang Rui is unwell today and can't come, please don't blame the adult." ”
Lu Yi stretched out his hand and gently stroked the long beard on his chin, ignoring the fact that the other party did not come in person, but looked at the pleadings and asked, "Plaintiff Wang Ping sued his own uncle Wang Rui for occupying his own family property, but is there such a thing?"
Wang Ping, a young man in the audience, stepped forward to make a salute, his eyes were red, and he choked up: "Back to my lord, my father Wang Fu is the real master of the Wang family, I was the only son in the family, three years ago my father sent to the county town to study, has not returned, recently because I received the news of my father's death this hurried back, unexpectedly came back to find that my father's younger brother, that is, my second uncle Wang Rui encroached on my family's property, and did not recognize me as a nephew. ”
Even if the Wang family is one of the few wealthy families in Huangsha County, they have a lot of power in the city, Gu Xuan originally planned to find a time to visit one or two, ask about the situation, and ask for some assistance, but he didn't expect to meet the Wang family here today, and it was such a thing.
Lu Yi on the stage frowned and said, "Oh, there is such a vicious uncle in the world?"
However, Chen Wei, a servant of the Wang family below, immediately straightened up and shouted: " A few days ago, this kid came to the Wang's mansion, falsely claiming to be the son of my eldest brother's deceased brother, and asked my lord for money, but he didn't know that the reason why the uncle would entrust all the family property to my lord after his death was because his only son had already died outside, and you also know the situation on the border of Youzhou, my eldest young master had already died in the hands of horse bandits when he went out to study a few years ago, and he had a funeral for this at that time, this person was simply a liar who came to pretend to be!”
Wang Ping, who had not achieved fame and was still kneeling on the ground as usual, suddenly stood up angrily and said angrily, "You are talking nonsense! Although I have not been home in the past three years, the neighbors around me and the servants at home should remember me, you are lying!"
Lu Yi on the stage gently patted the shocked wood again, stopped the two people who were about to quarrel in the audience, flipped through the previous book of this case, and said strangely: "No, I see that the previous document said that the neighbors and servants who came from the summons said that they didn't know you." ”
This case was already three months ago, because it involved one of several wealthy families in Huangsha County, Xu Sanjin deliberately held several court hearings in order to make some benefits, but Wang Rui won the case.
Wang Ping said with a face full of resentment: "That's because they bought off their neighbors and coerced the servants in my family!"
"Heh, ridiculous, how can you say what you like, could it be that this Qingtian lord on the stage will let you, a liar, succeed?" Chen Wei's face sneered, and he squeezed Lu Yi with words on his lips, "My lord, let's close the case quickly, this has been tried four times, is it possible that this liar will sue us once, and we have to run with it once? That won't tire us to death? My lord's body is exhausted like this, I think, it's better to send this liar to prison as soon as possible!"
Chen Wei still didn't say a word in his heart, if it weren't for the fact that my master still had a trace of kindness, you Wang Ping's ability would have died in prison a long time ago!
Lu Yi looked at the paper, pondered for a moment, and then beckoned to the audience and said, "Plaintiff Wang Ping came forward." ”
Wang Ping, who looked dazed, stood up from the ground uneasily, a little unclear, but seeing that the adults in the audience beckoned him over, he didn't dare to resist, so he obediently stepped forward and stood in front of Lu Yi obediently.
Lu Yi also leaned out, crossed the table, leaned over, and whispered to Wang Ping's ear for a moment, only to see Wang Ping's face suddenly turn from surprise to a joy that could not be concealed, and then hurriedly saluted Lu Yiji on the stage: "Thank you, my lord, the student will do it!"
Saying that, Wang Ping ran out in a hurry, and the officials below saw that their adults didn't speak, and they didn't dare to stop, and the crowd outside the fence quickly made way for him to make way for him to open a road to the outside of the county government, seeing Wang Ping running away, the people who didn't know what happened looked at Lu Yi on the stage suspiciously, hoping that he could answer a question or two.
"My lord, this 。。。。。。 Chen Wei suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart, and just wanted to ask what was going on, Lu Yi sat back in his place, coughed lightly, and said to the audience, "Please go and sit in the back for a while, and the case will be clear in a while." ”
Immediately, two officials heard the order and came over to support Chen Wei, who was still kneeling below.
Chen Wei didn't know why, but when he saw the characters sitting around him, he swallowed his saliva, and he didn't dare to make a loud noise, so he could only silently cast a pleading gaze towards Chen Anmin over there.
You must know that Chen Anmin was the one who came forward to ask the Wang family for money for Xu Sanjin of Zhixian County three times before, and the two of them are also familiar with each other, so they naturally want to find this family surnamed Chen to solve it, no matter what, he can't be detained here, otherwise he can't notify his master in time if anything happens.
Unexpectedly, Chen Anmin, who only dared to sit on the chair with half of his buttocks, just lowered his head and drank the water in the cup, looking at his nose and nose, and he didn't look at this side at all.
Chen Anmin now only hates to bury his whole face in the water glass, and secretly says that this surnamed Chen can't understand the situation, is he a person who can take charge? Can you Wang family stop involving me in this little? Don't notice me!
But the more he was afraid of something, the more he was afraid, Gu Xuan was not stupid, of course he also noticed Chen Wei's abnormality, with his intelligence, he naturally figured out the joints at once, and immediately glanced at the side lightly, and didn't say anything, but he was so frightened that Chen Anmin's hand holding the water cup trembled, and his whole body was a little stiff, and he was about to be buried on the ground.
