Chapter 436: The Cricket Case

Concubine An suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

After about an hour, the church was re-ascended.

The interrogation went exceptionally well.

Fu Yin is no longer entangled in how to exonerate Cheng Laosan. He directly accepted all the evidence that was currently available, convicted Cheng Laosan of several crimes, sentenced him to compensate the Xia family with 10,000 taels of silver as agreed, and sentenced him to death by hanging for collaborating with the enemy.

Seeing this, Cheng Laosan suddenly became paralyzed, no longer stiff-mouthed, and confessed where he got the secret technique of the West Deng Kingdom and who his family was, in order to reduce the sentence.

Just when everyone thought that the case was over, the high-ranking Zhongshu waiter suddenly spoke leisurely: "The human and material evidence is complete, even if it is the nephew of the official, such a serious crime, the official will not intercede for him." It's just that this crime is punished, did the little boy Xia in the hall also hurt people? ”

Ren Yi had just given Xia Qingyang and An Guifei a look in the crowd, and then heard the Chinese scholar waiter next to him start something again.

Ren Yi frowned: "This princess remembers that it was not Xia Xiaogongzi who called someone to make a move at that time, but two righteous people passing by, and the road was uneven. And afterwards, these two left, what does it have to do with Xia Xiaogongzi? ”

"There's Lao Fu Yin." This time, it was the turn of the Zhongshu squire to ignore Ren Yi.

He skipped her directly and asked Fu Yin to call witnesses.

Soon, the official took four wounded with him.

These four people are all Cheng Laosan's subordinates, and they seem to be not lightly injured, and they are a little reluctant to even testify in court.

In addition, the official also brought in three passers-by who were in the cricket hall at the time.

The three passers-by all testified that Xia Jing and the two beaters knew each other and spoke.

Ren Yi's brows furrowed even tighter.

She didn't expect that the Zhongshu squire would bite the Xia family to death.

I thought that this case was just a dispute between juniors. As a result, Zhongshu Shilang would rather give up Cheng Laosan and pour dirty water on Xia Jing.

Is there something she doesn't know about here?

Bad. Now I am afraid that these "witnesses" will shake Xia Qingyang and An Guifei out.

Just as Ren Yi was pondering the solution, he only heard a young voice from the hall that was immature but not lacking in sonorous power:

"My lord, the grass people have something to say."

Ren Yi came to his senses: "Let him say." ”

Fu Yin hesitated, but could only agree.

Xia Jing immediately carefully explained the scene of the incident that day, down to every conversation and action between him and Cheng Laosan at that time, to prove that the person who did it first was Cheng Laosan.

"Since you said that you were there and saw everything, then you must have also seen Cheng Laosan choke my throat first." Xia Jing looked at the three "passers-by".

The three "passers-by" were sloppy, either saying that they didn't remember, or that they came after that, and they didn't see who did it first.

"My lord, since these people themselves admit that they don't remember the specific circumstances at that time, then the grass people think that their other testimonies are not enough to be believed, and I hope that your lordship will consider it."

Xia Jing turned his head and bowed deeply to Fu Yin.

Fu Yin hesitated and turned his head to look at Zhongshu Shilang. Zhongshu Shilang's eyes fell on Xia Jing, and there was no joy or anger on his face.

"Although the grass people are still young, they have also learned the truth from Mr. Shuyuan that 'serving the public is like the law and the upper and lower levels are equal, and the upper and lower levels are equal, and the country is strong'. Since childhood, the grass people have had the ambition of learning to rejuvenate the country, and have always regarded a good official who is just for the people as an adult. Therefore, the grass people have faith in the law of Dachun, and they are also convinced that the adults will make a just decision to set the record straight. ”

After Xia Jing finished speaking, the crowd of onlookers outside carefully exchanged their heads and ears.

Zhongshu Shilang frowned slightly, feeling that such an orderly and progressive speech should not be something that a child could say. It was obvious that someone had anticipated this situation in advance and was teaching him behind his back.

Who is this person?

Ren Yi immediately thought of the whispered words that Xia Qingyang said to Xia Jing yesterday.

It turned out that Xia Qingyang taught Xia Jing this is this.

Ren Yi sighed slightly in her heart, feeling that sure enough, Xia Qingyang was smart and smart, but he still didn't know enough. In other words, underestimate the degree of decay in the officialdom of Dachunguo.

Just a verbal and generous speech, how could it be possible to shake Fu Yin, who was already biased.

It's a pity for this little son of the Xia family, according to Xia Qingyang's teachings today, he has hit a wall, and I'm afraid he will lose confidence in many things.

Sure enough, Fu Yin didn't pay attention to the top hat that Xia Jing put on him.

He simply swept past the three passers-by, turned his head and asked the four subordinates who were the third of the three adults-

Fu Yin made up his mind that as long as these four subordinates identified Xia Jing, he could arrest Xia Jing first in the name of taking him into custody pending trial and complete the task assigned by the prime minister.

As everyone knows, these people have long been hypnotized by Xia Qingyang last night, temporarily revising their personalities.

As soon as the four of them heard the question, they scrambled to shake out all the process of how Cheng Laosan played tricks.

Fu Yin was dumbfounded-

Wait, that's not the same as saying yes? Just later, didn't the Zhongshu waiter tell him that these people would definitely bite Xia Jing to death, and he only needed to nod his head and take Xia Jing into custody.

Seeing that the four of them were about to get out of all the crimes that Cheng Laosan had done before, Fu Yin hurriedly shouted to stop, and then looked at Zhongshu Shilang at a loss.

I saw that the face of the Zhongshu squire was also green.

"I see. Li Shilang, I think this matter is already very clear. Ren Yi turned his head and raised his eyebrows, "Didn't they admit it all." Or do you have to find out those two righteous people who have seen injustice? But now it seems that those two should not only not be punished, but should also be greatly rewarded. Li Shilang, what do you say? ”

After a few seconds, Zhongshu Shilang finally digested his emotions, suppressed all his emotions, and smiled:

"What the eldest princess said is very true. It is time to encourage the righteous to help each other, and we should no longer hold others accountable for hurting others. ”

Fu Yin looked at the faces of these two people and saw that it was Ren Yi who had the upper hand at this time, so he had to casually say a few nonsense words such as "fairness is in the hearts of the people", and then he took the case and announced the result.

So far, the cricket case has been successful.

-

For Xia Fu, how to delve into the relationship between Cheng Laosan and Xi Dengguo in the future is not within the scope of their concern.

The tense atmosphere for several days finally relaxed.

On the one hand, the little young master was wronged, and on the other hand, the eldest lady regained her senses.

Xia Jingzhi waved his big hand, double happiness was coming, and the Xia family was going to hold a big banquet.

It happened that Xia Qingyang's return vacation was one day left, and he could return to the palace tomorrow, so he stayed and participated together.

As the biggest benefactor who helped Xia Jing save the day this time, Ren Yi was warmly invited by the Xia family to stay for another day and participate in the banquet together.

For the Xia family, they must have wanted to thank Ren Yi well. However, Ren Yi politely declined.

And the reason for this is, on the one hand, the palace banquet is imminent, and Ren Yi has some affairs to deal with.

On the other hand, she is like a mirror, knowing that at the last critical moment, she didn't help much, and she can't be regarded as the benefactor of the Xia family.

Therefore, she just went to Xia's house to sit down for a while, witnessed the joy of this family, and was about to leave after a while.

"Yunyin, do you have time?"

Ren Yi motioned for Xia Qingyang to talk to him where there was no one.
