Chapter 458: One South and One North (7)
"This, this ......" The head of the Luo family and his Xiucai son glanced at each other, looked at Li Tianquan and said coldly: "My son is studying in the mansion every day, how can he go to that kind of place, the house slaves in the mansion can testify, when did you see my son go to that kind of place?" ”
Li Tianquan played, rolled up his sleeves, followed his example, raised his chin arrogantly, showed the temperament of a noble son on his body, and said arrogantly: "I see it every day, what's wrong?" If you don't believe him, you can go to the Goolan Courtyard and ask, and everyone over there can testify to me. After speaking, he also reached out and patted his chest to increase the credibility of his words.
At this moment, even the Luo family was a little surprised, and he looked at his son with doubts in his eyes.
Luo Cheng was looked at by his father, and his heart suddenly panicked, he had never been to a place like Goolan Courtyard at all, every time he went out, he just walked around the city, got together with some rich children to chant poems and enjoy fun, and occasionally helped the people for his reputation.
He hurriedly shook his head: "I haven't been to that kind of place, they must have recognized the wrong person, since they said that the people in the Goolan Courtyard can testify, then let them testify that they must have recognized the wrong person, I haven't been to that kind of place at all." ”
Li Tianquan winked at Xue Yuyang, Xue Yuyang smiled helplessly, and then said to Mo Dingcai: "I'll take this girl back to the yamen first, let him solve this matter by himself." ”
Mo Dingcai nodded, the Luo family father and son also felt that he was dispensable, and they didn't take it to heart, and all their thoughts fell on Li Tianquan, vigilant to every word he said.
"What my son said is right, he is not afraid of shadows, since this son insists on saying that my son has been to Goolan Courtyard, you intend to ruin the reputation of my Luo family, and my Luo family will definitely not tolerate this kind of behavior, so let the people of Goolan Courtyard testify."
At this time, the passers-by saw so many businessmen chirping here and all gathered around, and got the cause and effect through other people's mouths, and they all stood aside with interest to watch the play, this is a scandal of a rich family, for them, the common people, there is a lot of money, and they are also happy to watch the excitement.
Li Tianquan was calm and relaxed, and waved his hand casually: "No matter which person from the Goolan Court can testify, in order to avoid you from suspecting me of colluding with the people of the Goolan Court, it is up to you to invite witnesses." ”
The head of the Luo family snorted coldly, he originally thought so, since he said it, he would not be polite, he waved his hand, and the domestic slaves of the Luo family in the crowd immediately ran forward: "What do you command?" ”
"You go to Goolan Courtyard and bring back a few witnesses."
"Yes."
Seeing that someone had gone to invite, the head of the Luo family looked at Li Tianquan with a vicious gaze. Li Tianquan didn't care at all, turned his head and glanced at Mo Ding, before he ordered: "Master Mo, this case is estimated to take a while to be solved, I'm a little tired, send someone to move a stool for me." ”
The people present all looked at each other, all looked at Li Tianquan with some surprise, and then looked at Mo Dingcai, thinking that Mo Dingcai would not agree, who knew that as soon as he waved his hand, he immediately went to order someone to bring the chair. Did you really listen to that son?
At this moment, a sense of uneasiness suddenly rose in the hearts of the Luo family's father and son, and only then did they consider Li Tianquan's identity.
Seeing Li Tianquan sitting in the chair neatly, with Erlang's legs crossed, looking at them with a smile. They only felt that their faces were hot, and they lowered their heads and didn't dare to speak again, for fear of bumping into him, if his identity was really more noble than Mo Dingcai's minister, then their Luo family would be unlucky, if his identity was not as noble as Mo Dingcai, then why should Mo Dingcai, the minister, listen to him?
They suddenly regretted it a little, and the eyes that looked at Li Tianquan became complicated, but they had come to this point, and they had to persevere, otherwise wouldn't they admit the fact that Luo Cheng went to Goolan Courtyard? It's better to be unlucky than to have a bad reputation, and they feel more comfortable when they think about it.
Goolan Courtyard is far away from the county seat, near the slums, after all, this kind of place is the most inferior, and only some civilians can afford it, no matter how far it is, it is only a little distance, and the time of the two pillars of incense has already been brought back.
The three teenagers who brought back were all dressed a little thinly, but they were all some coarse cloth clothes, with a hint of trepidation and wariness on their faces, but with a charm on their bodies, the onlookers frequently looked at them, as if they wanted to see something.
"See your Excellency." The three of them knelt down and saluted Mo Dingcai.
Mo Dingcai nodded, cut directly to the topic, pointed at Li Tianquan and said, "He said that he had seen Luo Jiaxiu before he went to Goolan Courtyard, right?" ”
All three nodded without hesitation.
At this moment, everyone was in an uproar, even Luo Cheng couldn't believe it, he rushed directly to the three of them, pointed to his nose and asked, "You look carefully, is it really me who has been to Goolan Courtyard?" ”
The three of them glanced at him calmly, then blushed and nodded shyly, their posture was clearly to tell others what their personal affairs were, and the onlookers immediately pointed fingers at their Luo family father and son.
Luo Cheng wanted to ask them again if they were sure it was him, but the head of the Luo family couldn't stand it, he had a black face, raised his hand and slapped Luo Cheng's face, half of Luo Cheng's face immediately swollen, and the corners of his mouth were oozing blood, which showed that this slap was not light.
"It's really a waste, my Luo family has been ruined by you, hum!" After speaking, he didn't wait for Luo Cheng's reaction, he turned around directly and was about to leave quickly.
Li Tianquan said in a faint voice: "Master Luo, since you have already sued me for framing your family, and Master Mo, you have taken this case, since the facts have been true, you have also disturbed the court and regarded the court as a place for trouble, then do you want to accept punishment?" ”
Before Luo Cheng could say anything, the head of the Luo family kicked him on the knee, causing him to kneel on both knees, and the pain in his knee made Luo Cheng's intact half of his face twist.
The head of the Luo family also knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Mo Dingcai: "Lord Mo forgives his sins, the villain is unintentional......"
Mo Dingcai really didn't want to pay attention to this kind of trivial matter, and simply waved his hand: "Since you reported the case before, and the official also asked you again whether to continue, and you have already agreed, then naturally the case will be judged according to the rules, come here, pull the two of them down, and each play twenty boards." ”
"No, no, Master Mo, these three people must have been bought by him, I have never been to that kind of place......"
Luo Cheng was dying and struggling, completely lacking the elegant temperament of his previous showmanship, and living like a vexatious shrew. Mo Dingcai frowned, and his heart was even more displeased, so he turned around and entered the yamen directly.
