Three men in suits sat on the high platform with serious faces, the man in the middle was the judge of the trial, and the other two were jurors.

Under the high platform, there are three sets of tables and chairs, on the left is the plaintiff Zheng Yaxun, at this time his whole body is wrapped in gauze, only revealing a pair of vicious eyes, has been viciously staring at Li Tiancheng on the observation seat, if the eyes can kill, Li Tiancheng does not know how many times he has been killed; on the right is the defendant, originally sitting here should be Li Tiancheng, but because Hu Liangwei temporarily provided testimony, it was replaced by Dou Guo, which is also the reason why Zheng Yaxun stared at Li Tiancheng viciously; in the middle is the witness platform, where the witness stood when he testified in court。

"Dangdang—"

The judge knocked three times and shouted solemnly, "Open the court." ”

The voice fell, and a middle-aged man in a black suit standing next to Zheng Yaxun walked to the middle, bowed to the judge on the high platform, and said respectfully: "Your Excellency, hello, my name is Li Gang, I am a third-level lawyer, according to Article 1 of Section 1 of the Imperial Criminal Law, in criminal cases, no lawyer can be hired, but my client is seriously injured and can no longer speak, according to Article 2 of Section 1 of the Imperial Criminal Law, you can hire a lawyer." ”

"Well, I want to. The judge nodded.

Li Gang smiled, bowed to the judge again, looked at Dou Guo on the defendant's platform, and smiled: "Mr. Dou, hello, you beat my client to serious injury for no reason, if it weren't for my client's life, he would have almost died, for this, you should pay full responsibility." ”

"Let ......" Dou Guogang spoke, and Hu Liangwei, who was standing beside him, immediately pulled the corner of his clothes.

"Your Excellency, it seems that Mr. Dou Guo's injuries are not as serious as those of my client, and at that time he attacked my client, and my client wounded him out of self-defense, according to Article 11 of Section 5 of the Imperial Penal Code, if there is a fight in the city, and the person who is attacked has the right to defend himself, Article 21 of Section VIII of the Imperial Criminal Code, if the injury of the other party is not as serious as that of the defender, it is not excessive defense and is not guilty. Li Gang said immediately.

"You...... Dare to deceive me, Lao Tzu ......"

"Cough-" Li Tiancheng on the observation bench coughed, Dou Guo immediately closed his mouth, Li Tiancheng looked at Hu Liangwei, Hu Liangwei nodded without moving, walked to the center and said: "Your Excellency, at 10 o'clock last night, I received a call to report the case, it was a call from Zheng Yaxun himself, and I asked to re-examine his injuries. ”

The judge frowned, looked at Zheng Yaxun and said, "Plaintiff, can the words of Hu Liangwei, the captain of the criminal law team, be true?"

Zheng Yaxun shook his head and did not speak, while his lawyer Li Gang took out a photo and handed it to the jurors: "Your Excellency, this is the picture taken at 3:15 a.m. today, Captain Hu Liangwei, who is in charge of imprisoning the defendant, entered the defendant's room alone, I suspect that there is a cover-up between him and the defendant, and his words are not credible." ”

"Li Gang, what do you mean by this, do you mean that I took bribes?" Hu Liangwei said excitedly.

Li Gang shrugged his shoulders and said indifferently: "Captain Hu, I didn't say that, but I don't spew blood." ”

"You ......" Hu Liangwei never expected that he would be betrayed by his own subordinates, he knew that if he made such a fuss, he would definitely send someone to investigate him, and he fell out with the Zheng family, and those who wanted to curry favor with the Zheng family would definitely charge themselves with a crime and remove them from their positions.

The judge put down the photo and knocked on the table: "Captain Hu, your behavior makes your words not credible, but your request is allowed, send a forensic doctor, and examine the plaintiff Zheng Yaxun's injuries." ”

Although the judge accepted Hu Liangwei's suggestion, Li Gang and Zheng Yaxun did not have a trace of uneasiness, but looked at ease, and Li Tiancheng guessed that there must be a ghost in it.

After a while, a forensic doctor walked into the courtroom and opened the gauze on Zheng Yaxun's body in front of everyone, and the wounds on his body were even more serious than when he escaped last night, which was clearly deliberate.

At the end of the examination, the forensic doctor immediately announced the results of the examination: "Your Excellency, Mr. Zheng Yaxun's tongue was cut off, his vocal cords were also somewhat damaged, and he also had multiple fatal injuries on his body. ”

"Got it, go down. ”

After the forensic doctor left, Li Gang showed a smug smile: "You are so ruthless, you actually cut out the tongue of my client, don't you know the criminal law of the empire?"

"I didn't cut his tongue, you're lying, the judge, the two masters of the Blood Rose were also present at the time, and they could testify for me. Dou Guo shouted.

The judge nodded to one of the jurors next to him, and the juror immediately spoke, "Witnesses." ”

The door of the courtroom opened, Alia walked in, smiled at Li Tiancheng on the observation table, and walked to the witness stand.

Arya bowed and said, "Hello Judge, I am Arya Polesi, the Great Master of the Blood Rose. ”

"Well, tell me about the situation. ”

"Yes, Your Excellency, at that time, I was having a banquet for the defendant, and in the middle of the meal, Zheng Yaxun rushed in, and then lost his temper at the defendant, and insulted him, and the defendant was angry and hit him, but after that, Zheng Yaxun and a group of people beat him alone. ”

Li Gang pursed his lips disdainfully, walked to the witness stand, smiled and asked, "Ms. Alia, let me ask you a question, you must answer truthfully, is it Dou Guo's hand first." ”

Arya stared at Li Gang, she knew this person, he was one of the people she hated the most, she raised her head and looked at the judge and said, "Yes, it was Dou Guo's hand that moved first." ”

"Hehe......" Li Gang smiled and said: "In the final analysis, it is still Dou Guoguo's hand that moves first, according to Article 1 of Section 5 of the Imperial Criminal Law, those who fight and brawl, whoever makes the first move, will bear the main criminal responsibility, and my client's cultivation is not Dou Guogao at all, this is Chi Guoguo's bullying, and he must be sentenced to a serious crime." ”

"Your Excellency, this lawyer is simply reversing right and wrong, I was also seriously injured, it was Zheng Yaxun and a group of people who beat me alone, and the witnesses just said. Dou Guo roared.

"Dangdang—"

"Silence, above the courtroom, no loud noises. The judge said solemnly.

"Your Excellency, I have one more piece of evidence here that proves that the defendant has been beating my client, and that my client has no power to resist at all. Li Gang handed a document to the jurors and said: "Your Excellency, this document is my client's medical report, and we have also taken a fingerprint on it, after comparison, this fingerprint is the defendant's fingerprint, you can also check the defendant's body to see if he has my client's fingerprints on him." ”

The judge put down the papers, and the jurors on the side immediately shouted, "Pass the forensic doctor." ”

The forensic doctor who had examined Zheng Yaxun's injuries just now walked into the courtroom again, verified Dou Guo in public, and immediately announced the results after completion: "Your Excellency, the defendant does not have the plaintiff's fingerprints on him. ”

"Let's go down. ”

After the medical examiner went down, the judge consulted with the two jurors.

"Dangdang—"

The judge knocked three times in a row, stood up, and shouted loudly: "All stand up, and after the evidence from all sides, I declare that Dou Guo beat Zheng Yaxun to serious injury, constituting the crime of intentional injury, the crime of attempted homicide, compensate Zheng Yaxun 500,000 yuan for medical expenses, and sentence him to 10 years in prison, Zheng Yaxun is not guilty." ”

After the judge's verdict was announced, Dou Guo turned his head to look at Li Tiancheng on the viewing seat, he smiled, no complaints, although Li Tiancheng's method failed, but the result was the same as he expected, as long as he endured the pain of imprisonment for the young master, it would be considered a success.

Looking at Dou Guo's smile, Li Tiancheng blamed himself in his heart, looked at Zheng Yaxun with a wicked smile on his face, and unconsciously clenched his fists, not being able to hire a lawyer is already doomed, the evidence is conclusive, there is no hope of overturning the case, only by repaying his family well can he be worthy of such a sacrifice.

Li Tiancheng nodded, Dou Guo smiled casually, and then was escorted away by the criminal law team.

The lawsuit ended, Dou Guo was sent to the Imperial Prison in Xiankou City, Hu Liangwei was suspended for investigation on suspicion of taking bribes, as for Zheng Yaxun, the injuries on his body were cured after a week's effort, and the severed tongue was also connected, and Li Tiancheng, he is working hard to break through the realm, and Zheng Yaxun has been set by him as the first sacrifice after breaking through the realm.
