Xia Yunhai had mixed feelings in his heart, one was that he had learned from the pain in prison for the past two days, and only regarded Aunt Rou as being bribed or coerced by Li Shangshu and others, so he aimed the blade at himself.

Listening to An Sheng's words today, I suddenly woke up to the fact that this Aunt Rou approaching her was really as Xue said, but she had other intentions. His infatuation with Aunt Rou turned into running water, his face was full of defeat, and he regretted not being at the beginning.

The second is that when I heard the evidence, I also argued with reason in the lobby, but I was repeatedly suppressed and misinterpreted by the presiding judge, and I was speechless to refute it. And today Yu Jingyun was present, but their requirements for An Sheng were able to be fair and judgmental, and even had some obvious bias and flattery. How could this not make him feel emotional?

However, after a cup of tea, the official outside the hall raised his voice: "The witness Ding Xirou brought it." ”

An Sheng twisted his face, and saw that it was really Aunt Rou's graceful arrival, but she faded away from the cowardice of the soft and weak white lotus in the summer mansion, and she was full of romance, and her eyebrows and eyes were rippling.

There were two officials in the hall who had straight eyes at that time, staring directly at her thin waist and unscrupulous.

Aunt Rou stepped forward, Caifeng nodded and knelt in the lobby, and a sandalwood mouth was Huang Ying out of the valley.

An Sheng turned his head as if looking at a rattlesnake.

"Ding Xirou, you will retell the testimony of that day in front of several adults and the defendant."

Aunt Rou nodded, secretly glanced at Xia Yuanwai, and said: "I am the concubine of the criminal official Xia Yunhai Xinna, when we first met, he spent a lot of money on me, which can be described as a waste of money. I was a little curious, he was just a small outsider, how could he have such a squandering of his property, so I asked side by side.

At first, he was a perfunctory concubine, saying that the family property left by his ancestors was solid, and I did not doubt him, so I followed him back to the capital, only to find out that it was not what he said.

After repeated questioning, I learned that he had been taking advantage of his position to steal beams and change pillars from the warehouse, empty the granary, resell it to others, and make personal gain. He had recorded all the amount of grain he had resold in those days in a pamphlet, hidden in a sparrow's nest under the eaves of my yard, and had handed over to several adults. ”

An Sheng sneered: "Since it is as Aunt Rou said, where is the silver that my father got from greedy ink?" Is there a catch? Who did my father seduce to transfer grain for cash? Also, my father, a small outsider, can have such a great ability to lose so much food, is no one aware of it? Are the officials of the household department all furnished? ”

These doubts are exactly the points that An Shengshi has carefully summarized, and when she asked them aggressively, Aunt Rou was stunned for a moment.

"I'm just an aunt, how can I know so much detail? I'm just doing my duty and conscience to expose his true face and bring him to justice. As for the silver, it was squandered, of course. ”

In fact, as An Sheng Shicai said, how could the chief judge of the court interrogation not guess? It's just that each has a ghost and wants to end the case with the boat, and it is just enough to be able to deal with the emperor.

For a while, several people in the hall also wisely remained silent.

"Just an aunt?" Xia Ansheng smiled coldly: "What is your own identity, I think you should know it!" My lord, if I am the defendant's daughter and my testimony is not credible, then I implore you to send someone to Xiangfu County to find out the true identity of this Aunt Rou. She wasn't a master at all, and she had no other purpose in approaching my father. ”

Aunt Rou's face was obviously panicked: "What is my original identity, and does it have anything to do with this case?" ”

"Of course it does!" Outside the lobby, someone raised his voice and said, "Lord Qiyu, Xiaguan has evidence here." ”

"Who's making a noise outside the hall?" Dali Siqing asked in a deep voice.

"Lord Qiyu, it's Xia Yuncang."

An Sheng and Xia Yuanwai were both shocked, and An Sheng's face was full of surprise. I have been to Dafang Mansion two or three times in the past two days, and I have eaten closed-door soup. I thought that Dafang was already standing by and ignoring this matter, but I didn't expect that at such a critical juncture, the uncle would come forward and come to testify.

"Is that you?" Dali Siqing raised his eyebrows in surprise, and explained to a few people beside him: "This person is my Dali Temple Shaoqing, and he is also the brother of the criminal Xia Yunhai. ”

The presiding judge looked at Yu Jingyun, and saw Yu Jingyun sitting aside, with a smile on his lips, his face was meaningful, and he didn't understand what he meant. Everyone didn't dare to provoke, nodded in unison, and Dali Siqing said in a deep voice: "Xuan!" ”

As soon as the words fell, Xia Yuncang, who was dressed in regular clothes, hurriedly walked up to the hall and fell to his knees.

Dali Siqing opened his mouth and asked: "You said you have evidence, what evidence?" ”

Uncle Xia said unhurriedly: "Xiaguan has a person with physical evidence that can prove that there is another hidden story in the case of his brother Xia Yunhai. ”

This is a turn of the peak, and several officials in the hall are surprised: "What evidence?" ”

Uncle Xia stepped forward, took out a booklet from his sleeve, and respectfully handed it to the court case with both hands: "On this booklet is Xia Yunhai's record of the deficit of the household warehouse, please verify the authenticity and compare it with the account book." ”

When the booklet was handed over, several presiding officials looked through it slightly, and they were all shocked: "The two booklets are much the same, but with slight changes." I don't know if it's true or not. ”

"This pamphlet must be a fake." Aunt Rou is categorical.

"Why is Aunt Rou so sure?" An Sheng immediately asked.

Aunt Rou's eyes flashed, and she was determined: "Because it's really already in the hands of adults." ”

Xia Yuanwai said angrily: "Whether it's true or not, a few adults will know if they have asked the offender." I recorded this booklet by hand, and at least I still have an impression. ”

At the moment, he kept talking about what he could remember, and told it one by one, and compared it by Dali Siqing himself.

After a few people were confirmed, they didn't dare to make a decision for the time being, and turned to the Xia family uncle: "What about the other witnesses?" ”

"There is also Ding Zhengchun, the master of Xiangfu County. He can prove that Ding Xirou, the aunt of Xia Mansion, is not his daughter, but a woman bought from the Qinglou by Lord Li, the head of the household department, in order to get close to Xia Yunhai. ”

If it is said that the booklet cannot be used as physical evidence to prove Xia Yunhai's innocence, the appearance of this witness can be said to be a turning point.

Aunt Rou could no longer force her composure at this time, her face turned pale with fright, and she collapsed directly on the ground.

And An Sheng's heart was full of surprise, Xue Zhao had asserted that Aunt Rou was a woman on the Fengyue field when she looked at her words and deeds, and today she actually made a prophecy!

Yu Jingyun's spirit was shocked, and he took the lead: "Bring a witness!" ”

As soon as the words fell, a servant outside the hall pushed a fifty-year-old man with a lot of flowers and tied up to the hall, and the man immediately knelt on the ground tremblingly, shouting "spare your life".

Yu Jingyun didn't wait for a few chief judges to speak, and couldn't wait to say: "Say it, make it clear and understand, spare your dog's life." ”

Several chief judges in the hall glanced at each other helplessly, daring to be angry but not daring to speak, feeling that this Yu Shizi not only did not have the consciousness of listening, but also decided the life and death of others.

The master seemed to have been frightened a long time ago, but Yu Jingyun was just frightened, so he immediately poured beans into a bamboo tube, and happily explained the original situation.

"Qi Qi a few adults, this is not a matter of the villain, it is Lord Li of the Ministry of Household Affairs who sent someone to find the little one, handed over the Qinglou woman to me, and asked her to approach Lord Xia in the name of the villain's daughter. The villain didn't know what their purpose was, they just thought they were trying to woo Lord Xia, and they didn't know anything else. ”

He pushed three, six or five, and chose a clean and cunning master who would take advantage of loopholes.

Dali Siqing cleared his throat: "You said that she was instructed by Master Li, then the official asked you, is there any evidence?" ”

The master nodded like pounding garlic: "Yes, yes, the small one here is a letter written by Li Shangshu himself, which contains an explanation." ”

After speaking, he took out a letter from his bosom tremblingly and handed it with both hands.

A servant stepped forward to take it and handed it to the court case, and several people took out the letter from the envelope, unfolded it and glanced at it, then exchanged glances and nodded.

"Ding Xirou!" Dali Siqing was shocked: "Now, what else do you have to say?" What did you instruct Li Shangshu to do? Why did you deliberately approach Xia Yunhai? Is what you testify to true? Don't hurry up and recruit from the truth! ”

Aunt Rou gritted her teeth: "It's true that I was born in a Qinglou, and it was Li Shangshu who sent me to Xia Yunhai's side, but he just wanted to use this to entrap his subordinates, and I don't know if there is any other inside story." Pointing to Xia Yunhai is only out of conscience. ”

"What a good one out of conscience!" An Sheng snorted lightly: "My father is obedient to you, and he can be described as very protective and affectionate. If you have the slightest conscience, you will not do such a thing of revenge. The account book I found in your yard was obviously evidence of Li Shangshu's misappropriation of public grain, how could you actually identify it as my father's talisman? ”

Aunt Rou lowered her head and denied it: "The account book only records the amount of grain and rice deficit, how can you prove that it was Li Shangshu who did it?" Not someone else? ”

Dali Siqing said with a little embarrassment: "In this way, there is indeed collusion between the witness Ding Xirou and the Hubu Shangshu, and the testimony is not credible for the time being, but it cannot clear your crime of being empty and greedy for ink, and your charge of dereliction of duty is real, this, Xia Yunhai, do you have anything to say?" ”

Xia Yuanwai shook his head: "There is nothing to say." ”

"Then do you have any evidence to identify Li Shangshu and others as having lost the granary? If there is no evidence, we can't summon Li Shangshu just by virtue of your identification. ”

Xia Yuan shook his head honestly again: "No." ”

Yu Jingyun sighed and stood up: "I have it!" ”

Today's trial can be described as a turning point, * repeatedly, this Yu Shizi has already won the game, and several chief judges vaguely understand in their hearts that there will definitely be a huge reversal. Therefore, Yu Jingyun said this, and several people were not very surprised.

Dali Siqing raised his hand at Yu Jingyun: "Dare to ask Yu Shizi what evidence he has?" ”

Yu Jingyun smiled slowly, confident: "Does the recovered grain and rice count?" ”

His words can be described as a stone that stirred up a thousand waves, making several people dumbfounded.
