Volume 1 Chapter 264 Human Witness 1
Shang Wuwu and Zeng Yiqian also got the news early and stood in the front row at the door, and saw that the two still greeted each other as before.
The people of Wanhao Village got the news, and the village chief and Old Man Xu also came, originally wanting to hide it from Zhong Ting, but they didn't expect that when Xiao Wu went back to find the seal this morning, he said that he had leaked his mouth.
So Xiao Wu walked on the front foot, and she followed her back foot to the county, and she also took her son Kang Hu with her.
The child was only two years old, and he saw his father kneeling at the gate of the county government, struggling to run to the hall in Zhong Ting's arms, and was held in his mother's arms.
Xu Yunjin has lived in Daqi for 12 years, and this is the first time he has seen the county Yashengtang, which is similar to what he played in the TV series in his previous life.
Jiang Baiyu sat on the top seat in an official uniform, and looked majestic without smiling.
Below sat Jiang Baiyu's master, a man who looked four or five years older than him, holding a brush in his hand, ready to record the situation in the hall at any time.
Seeing that the county commander was coming, the yacha standing on both sides began to shout "might~wu~" and ascended to the hall.
In the next second, I saw Jiang Baiyu holding a startling wood in his hand, and slapped it on the table with a "snap":
"Who is in the court, and what is the matter?"
At this moment, there were four people kneeling in the hall, the merchant's entourage, Kang Lian, Han Bei, Da Niu and two corpses.
"Lord Qiyu, my lord ordered a batch of goods in the dyeing workshop and winery of the lord of Wenle County, and the deposit was given a total of 200,000 taels.
I didn't think that the two workshops had fires one after another, and according to the contract, they wanted to compensate us with double the silver, but they were black-hearted, and they didn't want to compensate, and they said that they would only return half of our deposit.
My lord didn't agree, so he took the grass people to hide in Tibet, and only today did he go to Yuefu Restaurant, thinking that he would go home after taking the money, but I didn't think that I would go out and buy something for our lord, and he was murdered when he came back.
The grass people believe that it was the restaurant owner who colluded with them to reveal our whereabouts, and hope that the adults will find out and bring this murderer to justice."
As soon as Jiang Baiyu's voice fell, his entourage recounted everything in an orderly manner, wailing and returning justice to his master and severely punishing the murderer.
Some of the people outside the door are newcomers, and they haven't eaten the melons yet, and when they heard the words of their entourage, they all exchanged their heads and whispered.
Several people from Wanhao Village had white faces, and Zhong Ting almost didn't stand firm, and was supported by her sister-in-law Wei who accompanied her.
After hearing this, Jiang Baiyu first looked at Han Bei: "What does Shopkeeper Han have to say?"
Han Bei raised his head, his eyes red and shouted injustice:
"My lord, it's wrong, the grass people don't know anything, the grass people's nephew and the restaurant's guy Da Niu were taken away before the incident and don't know where they went.
By the time the messengers found the two of them, the straw people's nephew was gone, and they begged the adults to seek justice for the grass people's nephew."
Han Bei said and cried again on the corpse of his nephew who was crawling on the side, Jiang Baiyu frowned when he saw it, and called the servant on the side to go to the autopsy.
There was silence outside the hall, and after a short time, a white cloth was placed on the cover, indicating that the autopsy had been completed.
"Lord Qiqi, the deceased also died of arsenic and frost."
When the people outside the hall heard the words, there was another discussion, and the noise made people's brains hurt.
"Silence," Jiang Baiyu patted the startled people and the others quieted down.
"Da Niu, you say, why did you leave the restaurant? Did you collude with Kang Lian to leak the whereabouts of the guests?"
Da Niu was still trembling, witnessing the death of his companion and staying in the dark environment with the corpse for a while, his reaction was normal.
"My lord, spare his life, the grass people are all forced, it is he, it is he who gave the grass people silver, let the grass people keep an eye on a person for him, and gave him a portrait of that person.
This morning, when the grass people led him into the restaurant, he also asked the grass people about the passage on the second floor, and the little one took the twenty taels of silver he gave, and told him about the other passage.
Later, the grass man went back to the back door, and after a while, the nephew of the shopkeeper suddenly called the grass man to the carriage, and in the car sat a man with a masked face, and he held a knife in his hand to threaten us two
The carriage was driven out of the restaurant.
Halfway through the way, the man knocked us unconscious, and when the grass man woke up, he heard the man arguing with the shopkeeper's nephew, and then he was forcibly given medicine, and died a short time after he returned."
As soon as Da Niu's words were finished, everyone had different expressions, Xu Yunjin had anger on his face, and Han Shaozhi also looked at Kang Lian with a complicated face.
As for Kang Lian himself, his eyes were red with anger, and he stood up and gave Da Niu a kick, and was quickly pulled back by the yacha.
"Be bold, dare to beat witnesses in front of your own officials, come and fight ten times to set an example."
Jiang Baiyu ordered, and the yacha opened the posture, and just as the board was about to fall on his body, Xu Yunjin spoke.
"Lord Jiang, why don't you listen to what he said, when the county lord is wronged, he can't wait to give that person two feet to relieve the hatred in his heart."
Jiang Baiyu was a little unhappy when he heard this, but he still waved his hand to let the yacha retreat, separating the two a little.
"That official will sell the county lord a face, if he commits it again, this official will not be spared, Kang Lian, what defense do you have, why don't you say it quickly?"
Kang Lian avoided the court battle, and cast a grateful look at Xu Yunjin, but she didn't give him a single look.
"My lord, the grass people have never bribed him with money, he is slandering, ask the adults to learn from it."
"Do you have any testimony to prove what you said?"
Jiang Baiyu's questioning made him choked, there was no physical evidence, just by saying it casually, no one would believe him, and he could only hope that Jiang Baiyu would clear his grievances for him.
He didn't, but Da Niu did, Xu Yunjin and they arranged everything, so that everyone believed that Kang Lian had done evil, and it was reversed after three days.
"My lord, the grass people have a certificate, and when he gave the grass people the silver that day, his sister at home saw him and begged to buy a piece of jewelry.
The grass people and their sister have been dependent on each other since childhood, and finally they have the money, so they want to fulfill their sister's wishes, and yesterday they bought a silver bracelet for their sister at the jewelry shop in the west of the city.
As soon as Da Niu's words came out, Kang Lian's face turned even paler, Xu Yunjin's face was angry, and he gritted his teeth as if he was going to swallow him.
"Someone, go and call his sister and the owner of the silver shop in the west of the city."
Jiang Baiyu instructed, and several yamen went in two directions, and Jiang Baiyu asked a few more people about the details of the case, waiting for the arrival of witnesses by the way.
Da Niu's house is far away, so the first to arrive is the shopkeeper of the silver shop, this shop is also the industry of Yaomen, and its main store is in the city of Jiujiang Mansion.
At the beginning, Xu Yunjin was still in the silver building and quarreled with his predecessor's daughter who won consecutive victories.
The shopkeeper entered the hall and knelt down first, keeping his head down and not looking around.
"The grass people have seen the adults and the county lords."
The shopkeeper's shop is not far from the Renxin Medical Center, and he has seen Xu Yunjin several times.
"Shopkeeper Shan, this person is a guy from Yue Fu Restaurant, suspected of a murder, he said that he bought a silver bracelet in your silver shop yesterday, but is it true?"
Hearing this, the shopkeeper raised his head slightly and looked at the big cow kneeling on the ground, he often went to Yuefu Restaurant to eat, so he naturally knew him.
"Lord Qiyu, the grass people often go to the Yuefu Restaurant to see this guy, and he did buy a bracelet at the silver shop yesterday, which happened to be received by the grass people.
At that time, the grass people also teased him a few words, asking him if he bought it as a gift to his sweetheart, and he said that he bought it for his sister to be a dowry in the future.
It was a silver bracelet of fine workmanship and a half and a half weight, and it was six taels and eight coins in all."
As soon as the shopkeeper's voice fell, there was a discussion outside the door again:
"How much does the doorkeeper make a month? I have to raise a younger sister, how can I be willing to spend so much money to buy a silver bracelet." Onlooker A analyzed.
"That's it, you see what the steward is wearing, and at first glance he is not bad for money, I'm afraid he is not the one who bribed the young man." Onlooker B echoed him.
"Tut-tut, I heard that the county lord of Wenle is generous and pays the workers under him a high salary, don't you look at this
I've raised a white-eyed wolf." Onlookers hugged Xu Yunjin upset.
Onlookers Ding had a different opinion:
"Cut, maybe, this Wenle county lord is pretending, one set on the surface, one behind the scenes, those wages may be the hard-earned money of others, it is really the most poisonous woman's heart, and the means are vicious at a young age, I am afraid that it will bring disaster to the country and the people in the future."
A, B, C: This person must not be his own.
These three people are the people Xu Yunjin and they found to promote the fermentation of public opinion, and only Ding is He Yinsan's person.
When Yuan Xuan heard this, the killing intent in his eyes flashed, the other party wanted to ruin his junior sister, and even said such a thing as bringing disaster to the country and the people.
Jiang Baiyu is not an arbitrary county order in the hearts of the people, so even if the shopkeeper proves that Da Niu really went to buy the silver bracelet, he did not convict Kang Lian of being the one who bought him.
Instead, he waited for the arrival of Da Niu's sister, and after a while, Yacha came with Da Niu's sister.
It was a little girl who was only fourteen years old, a little thin and timid, and when she went to court for the first time, she was so frightened that her body was trembling, and she knelt beside her brother in a proper manner.
"What is the name of the man who kneels in the hall?"
"Return, go back, the folk girl is called the big girl."
The eldest girl stammered her name a little.
"Big girl, do you see if that person gave your brother money?"
Jiang Baiyu pointed to Kang Lian who was kneeling on the side, and the eldest girl turned her head to look over, only to see the strong hatred in Kang Lian's eyes.
That look startled her, her body trembled, and Da Niu hurriedly protected her sister behind her.
"Lord Qiyu, that is, it is him, who gave my brother twenty taels of silver the day before yesterday, and also gave me a portrait, so that my brother can keep an eye on a person for him.
The silver brother bought me a silver bracelet, and I brought the rest of the money and the portrait, my lord, my brother will not harm anyone, please let my brother go."
The eldest girl said and took out the silver in her arms, and the yacha also presented the portrait to Jiang Baiyu, but he didn't look at it, and let people give it to his entourage.
"Is this painting your master?"
The attendant held the portrait with tears in his eyes, "Back to my lord, this is our master, please let the lord be the master of our lord."
Yacha presented the portrait to Xu Yunjin and Han Shaozhi again, Han Shaozhi's originally pale face was even more ugly, he didn't expect that the person he had always believed in would really do such a thing.
Xu Yunjin was expressionless, just looked at Kang Lian with a cold gaze, as if he was already a dead man at the moment.
