However, in this lawsuit, Mr. Situ was fully sure of the case and immediately followed the facts of the case.

"Miss, what can I do?" The maid pulled the corner of Luo Pingping's clothes, her face full of tears.

Luo Pingping is clever, and at this moment, she has no idea at all when she is involved in a life lawsuit, and at this time she can only hope for Lord Xu in the hall.

"I can only count on this Lord Xu to see everything..."

"But miss, didn't you say he was a dumb official?" The maid Xiaofei said in a low voice.

Luo Pingping's heart was suffocated, this time it was her brother who really killed someone, even if he wasn't a comatose official?

This afternoon, Luo Xingtang went to the jewelry shop to buy jewelry, but because of the payment for the goods, there was a conflict with the owner of the jewelry shop, the owner of the jewelry shop was over fifty years old, and under the pushing, his body was weak, and he fell to the ground and died, suing Dr. Luo for murder.

"My lord, please do justice for my father." The small proprietor of the jewelry shop fell to his knees and shouted miserably.

Xu Chuan nodded slightly, but he was quite puzzled in his heart, he had just met Luo Xingtang before, and the latter was also a knowledgeable person, how could he start with people for no reason? Then he opened his mouth and asked, "Luo Xingtang, why did you have a conflict with the owner of the jewelry shop?" ”

Luo Xingtang knelt there, a little angry and said: "Xiaomin negotiated the price with the boss and gave him two silver taels, which had already been bought and sold, but after the owner of this jewelry shop accepted my silver taels, he said that he would wrap it for me, and then he turned his head and hesitated, I wanted to reason with him, but the boss didn't admit it, Xiaomin pushed him up, and then..."

"You lie, how long has my family been doing business, who in the township doesn't know, how can they ruin your reputation for a few taels of silver?" The jewelry shop is a small owner.

"yes, it's a lie."

"I've been to that jewelry shop, the boss is kind, I can't do that, this doctor must be lying."

The people outside the hall talked a lot. The small proprietor of the jewelry shop looked proud when he heard this, and the lawyer also touched his mustache. Today, he has thought deeply about this situation, and he took it after several inspections, and there will be no mistakes.

Xu Chuan looked at the two people in the hall, and two options came to mind: "I believe what the small owner of the jewelry shop said, public opinion +5, prestige +5, and luck -20." ”

"I believe what Luo Xingtang said, public opinion -5, prestige -5, luck +10."

Xu Chuan was stunned for a moment, and looked at the small proprietor of the jewelry shop, luck -20? How... Is the latter lying?

Choose to believe in Luo Xingtang.

"Luo Xingtang, the official asked you, when you were buying jewelry, were there other people present?" Xu Chuan asked.

"Others..."Luo Xingtang hesitated slightly, and quickly glanced towards the hall.

Xu Chuan followed his gaze and saw a beautiful figure shrinking into the crowd, but it was a beautiful and graceful young woman.

"Big brother, didn't you make an appointment with Miss Zhang when you went shopping?" Luo Pingping said hurriedly.

"I..." Luo Xingtang glanced at the figure in the crowd, and could only sigh, Luo Pingping was stomped by his brother's appearance, so he could only step forward and bow down and say: "Lord Qiqi, my brother is shopping with Miss Zhang Qinglian, and she must have been there at the time." Miss Zhang, please testify for my brother. ”

Luo Pingping said, his eyes already looking at the woman who was cowering in the crowd outside the hall.

Hearing her say this, the girl Zhang turned her head and prepared to leave, but Xu Chuan's voice had already come: "Take Zhang Qinglian to the court." ”

This Miss Zhang knew that she lived in Ancheng County, and she couldn't run the temple even if she was a monk, so she could only stop. As the errand officer entered the hall, this Miss Zhang was indeed knowledgeable, first bowed to Xu Chuan, and then did not squint, ignoring Luo Xingtang on the side, nor did she look at the small proprietor of the jewelry shop.

"Miss Zhang, if the official asks you, you have to answer truthfully, if you dare to conceal and fabricate, I am afraid you will not be able to accept the punishment of the mouth." Xu Chuan first gave this Miss Zhang a preventive shot.

The punishment of the Xia Dynasty's palm mouth is not to pump with the palm of the hand, but to draw with a wooden plank, and the two boards will discipline your cheeks like a bag, and your good cheeks will become a big pig's head.

When Miss Zhang heard this, her face was indeed in awe, and she bowed down and said, "The adult inquired, but the little woman didn't dare to hide it." ”

Xu Chuan nodded: "Okay, the official asked you, were you in the jewelry shop with Dr. Luo at that time?" ”

"Yes."

Xu Chuan asked again: "What he said before, but is it true?" ”

Zhang Qinglian hesitated slightly, as if she was recalling, but instead shook her head and said: "The little woman only saw Dr. Luo and the shopkeeper pushing together, and the little woman was looking at the ornaments in the other corner at the time of the incident, so she didn't understand." ”

One push, two, five, six.

Luo Xingtang raised his head and looked at Zhang Qinglian in surprise, but he didn't say anything after all.

Luo Pingping and the maid Xiaofei listened to this testimony that was completely unfavorable to Luo Xingtang, and stomped their feet angrily.

It was in vain for her brother to chase this girl, she was really blind.

After listening to Miss Zhang's testimony, Judge Situ stepped forward very confidently and arched his hand: "My lord, the case has been clarified, please pronounce the verdict." ”

Luo Pingping was so anxious that tears were rolling in her eyes, she was such a brother, she categorically didn't believe that her brother would kill someone, but at this moment, there was no need to think about getting rid of the charge, so she knelt down on the ground and said: "My lord's mercy, my Luo family is willing to go bankrupt and pay compensation, and ask my lord to be merciful." ”

Xu Chuan had two options in his mind: "Sentence Luo Xingtang, public opinion +10, prestige +10, luck -20." ”

"Adjournment for retrial, -10 for public opinion, -10 for prestige, +5 for luck. Luo Pingping's opinion +30. ”

Judging from luck, there must be doubts in this case, Xu Chuan was expecting to hear something useful from Zhang Qinglian's mouth, but as a result... Xu Chuan rubbed his eyebrows and glanced at everyone below. I could only wave my hand and stubbornly say: "It's not early today, there are still doubts in this case, postpone the retrial, come on, put Luo Xingtang in prison and leave the court." ”

"Why is it postponed?"

"With such an obvious case, hasn't the county magistrate pronounced the verdict?"

"Unconscious."

The people were not pleased.

"Why is it postponed, my lord, my lord..." The small proprietor of the jewelry shop and the lawyer were a little unwilling. Seeing that he was about to win the lawsuit, why did he postpone it again.

"If you postpone it, you won't be able to escape."

The small proprietor of the jewelry shop looked at Luo Xingtang and snorted coldly, and left angrily. Miss Zhang still didn't look at others from beginning to end, and left alone.

"Doctor Luo, let's go with the brothers." Yachapi escorted Luo Xingtang away without smiling, but Luo Pingping was in a slightly better mood, and even postponed the retrial?

"Miss, the facts of the case are already clear, why did you postpone it again? Could it be that adults are deliberately biased in our favoritism? The maid Xiaofei said in a low voice.

"Favoring us?"

"Yes, miss, you didn't say he was a dumb official. This postponement must give us time to raise money. Xiao Fei said firmly.

Luo Pingping was skeptical, and couldn't help but say: "But he doesn't look like a greedy person." ”

"Those who are officials are either greedy for money or lustful, he is not greedy for money, then... Ahh

"Miss, he won't have a crush on you, right?"

A red cloud suddenly flew on Luo Pingping's cheeks, and he said hurriedly: "Don't talk nonsense... He..."

"Yes, yes, it's impossible, it's impossible for him to fall in love with Miss, Miss, you look like a thin monkey, you don't even have some meat, how can the county master fall in love with you, then what he likes... Ah, does he have a crush on the servant, miss, what should I do, what should I do? Xiao Fei said to himself.

He didn't notice his young lady's blackened cheeks.

"Speaking of which, the county lord looks good, and he is the respect of a county, and it is nothing to be committed to him, so for the sake of the son, the servant is out of the way... Hey, Miss, why are you leaving, Miss, you wait for me..."

……

Xu Chuan walked to the back office, feeling that the surging qi and blood in his body were slightly soothed, obviously it was the consequence of the decline in public opinion, just two options, he chose the right luck, and public opinion decreased by a total of 15 points,

Xu Chuan's mind was immersed in the three points of light in the sea of knowledge, the root of public opinion was 582 points, the root of prestige was 560 points, and the root of luck was 1862 points.

He tried to move the palm of his hand, and the qi and blood surging under his skin, the itchy feeling that something was about to break out of his body, and the strange feeling disappeared.

"Could it be that public opinion will increase significantly after it exceeds 600 points?"

Xu Chuan faintly felt.

Six hundred points is a critical point of transformation.

"What is my strength, I can try my hand tonight."

He was looking forward to it.

At this time, two figures under the corridor walked by, it was Xie Yu, the two girls of the Moon Dance, saw Xu Chuan walking in an official robe, and hurriedly stopped: "The maid has seen the master." ”

"Hmm." Xu Chuan nodded and walked straight over.

The two women looked at each other and smiled, and then walked towards Li Mingyuan. It's a pity that when they arrived outside Li Ming's room, they knocked on the door for a long time and no one answered, Li Ming was cultivating, where could they take care of them.

The two girls froze outside the door for a long time, and they felt that they couldn't spoil the autumn inspection school, so they left in a huff, and when they left, Xu Chuan wore a cotton robe and a long sword in his hand, and quietly walked out of the county yafu.

……

Midnight.

In the county jail, Luo Xingtang sat in the corner of the prison with a depressed face, and opposite him was an autumn golden tiger lying on the ground with half a grass root hanging from his mouth.

Qiu Jinhu frowned, the black-faced Housheng's hand was too heavy, and a few sticks almost broke his cheekbone.

"Hmph, stinky boy, today's business is not over, wait for me to go out, and then slowly digest you." There was a sinister look in his eyes.

"Hey, you're not Dr. Luo? Why did you get locked up too? Qiu Jinhu raised his head and grinned.

"I... I killed someone by mistake. Luo Xingtang sighed lightly.

"Murder? You? "Qiu Jinhu seems to have heard a joke. Then he said:

"Since you killed someone, it's a capital crime, Doctor Luo, I admire your medical skills, how about we go out together?"

"Get out? How..."

Luo Xingtang was about to shake his head.

Nine black-clothed figures suddenly rushed into the cell, each holding an axe.

"Nine axes? Haha, my second brother actually invited you over. Qiu Jinhu smiled excitedly when he saw their nine axes.
