Chapter 116: The Yamen Verdict
The officials opened the way in front, and Xu Gongran walked behind.
Behind him was the big black mule, following closely behind Xu Gongran, his eyes were warm and urgent.
Li Yulian also followed closely behind Xu Gongran and grabbed the position with the big black mule, her eyes were more enthusiastic than the big black mule.
There were also a few servants behind the mule cart, and some people led Li Yulian's horse.
The big black mule saw that Li Yulian was unhappy, and directly pushed her to the side.
Li Yulian was so frightened that her face was pale......
No, it's ugly, and then obediently hides to the side.
Xiao Niannian sat on the mule cart and watched this scene, and was so happy that her teeth came out.
Tiezi and the others laughed even more, and Li Rulan also pursed her lips and chuckled.
Li Yulian heard the laughter and looked back at them hatefully.
"If there is a mother, there must be a son, and the lowly gave birth to a litter of lowly cubs, and they laughed at me with their faces, and they didn't look at what you yourself looked like!"
Tiezi and the others changed their faces all of a sudden, and they wanted to scold back when they stood up, but they were stopped by Li Rulan.
The prefectural commander is in front, and they don't need to fight for the speed of their tongues at this time.
Xiao Niannian looked at the back of the woman in front of her, her eyes narrowed slightly.
Very good, there is another account, and this woman will regret it later.
After Li Yulian scolded, she turned her head to look at Xu Gongran in front of her, and suddenly thought of an idea in her heart.
"Ouch~ Yulian's head hurts so much, brother county order~"
Her voice was as soft as a bone, and she was about to lean on Xu Gongran as she spoke.
Xu Gongran was startled, as if he was hiding from the plague, and hurriedly walked two steps forward to avoid Li Yulian.
Li Yulian didn't expect Xu Gongran to run so fast, she didn't have time to restrain herself, and she stumbled a few steps and fell to the ground.
"Oops! It hurts me to death, woo woo woo ......"
She fell not lightly, her arms were broken, and she almost cut her face again, and she sat on the ground and cried angrily.
Xu Gongran's face was full of impatience, "Miss Li is still going to the Yamen?" If you don't go, I'll let those people go, saving everyone's time. ”
Li Yulian got up indignantly and followed everyone forward.
When passing by a medical hall, Xu Gongran kindly asked her to bandage it.
This time she didn't refuse, she sold it badly, and it was not a problem that the wound was not treated.
The yamen was not far away, and soon the group of them arrived.
"Ascension !!"
As the master shouted, Xu Gongran slapped the shocking wood in his hand hard.
"Who is in the hall, and what is the complaint? Let's take it into detail. ”
Shen Zhengwen and Li Yulian knelt down in the hall together, and Xiao Niannian and his mother and brothers were waiting beside them.
The two of them explained the cause of the incident, but there were still some discrepancies between what they said.
Li Yulian said that it was Shen Zhengwen who hit her with a stone, but Shen Zhengwen resolutely said no.
Xu Gongran was not sloppy, and asked the official to bring two witnesses, which he brought back from the scene of the scene.
The witnesses separately stated what they saw, confirming that Shen Zhengwen did not hit Li Yulian with a stone, and said that the stone fell from the sky.
However, they also testified that Shen Zhengwen did have a tendency to beat Li Yulian at the beginning.
However, this is not enough to settle the case, and it is not possible to arrest people if they have a tendency to beat people.
Xu Gongran squinted his eyes and looked at Li Yulian, with a little anger on his face.
"Miss Li, in this way, you lied? You're playing this official like a monkey, aren't you? ”
"Wronged, my lord!" Li Yulian knelt on the ground and shouted, "I didn't pay attention to it at the time, I just thought that the man hit me, and I didn't mean to deceive the adult." ”
"What's more, even if he didn't hit me, but Dong'an Road is forbidden to cars and horses, it was they who broke the ban first and rammed my horse, which caused me to be stoned, isn't it their fault?"
Li Yulian shed tears as she spoke, now she has washed the blood stains on her face, her head is wrapped in a white cloth, and her face is also pale, looking really pitiful.
"My lord! My father has a good relationship with you, do you really want to let their group of murderers go unpunished? ”
Shen Zhengwen was a little amused when he heard it, "This young lady is cautious, murderer, that's the name of a murderer, you are still standing here and not dying, why did I become a murderer?" ”
"Puff ......" The crowd outside the hall couldn't help but laugh.
"Hahahaha, that's it!"
Li Yulian listened to those laughter, and her face turned red with anger.
Xu Gongran listened to Li Yulian mention her father Li Shoude, and her expression was a little hesitant.
Li Shoude did have some friendship with him, but it was not very deep, but the Li family unilaterally curryed favor with him.
After all, he governs the entire Qingzhou City, and if he can please him, it will be okay to walk sideways in Qingzhou City.
And he is not good at beauty and gold and silver, so he likes some beautiful playthings.
The Li family found out what he liked, and sent some Western playthings over a while ago.
He really liked those things, so he accepted them half-pushed.
As the saying goes, take people with short hands and eat people with soft mouths.
Since he accepted the Li family's things, it would be too unkind if he didn't give a little return.
Xu Gongran was a little irritable in his heart, and he didn't know how to judge the case for a while.
If it weren't for the beautiful beads sent by the Li family, he wouldn't have accepted them.
He is a good official, who usually never accepts gifts, but now he wants to bend the law for personal gain.
"Quiet!" Xu Gongran slapped the shocking wood in his hand, and the inside and outside of the hall instantly quieted down.
"The Shen family under the hall, without complying with the ban, drove a mule cart into Dong'an Street, this is the first crime."
"disturbed Miss Li's horse, and verbally intimidated Miss Li, causing Miss Li to be frightened and injured."
"These crimes will be punished together, and the Shen family will be fined 500 yuan, and then fined ten big boards"
As soon as Xu Gongran's words fell, everyone in the Shen family tightened their hearts and became angry.
They rarely go into the city, and they don't know anything about the ban on Dong'an Road.
Even if this matter is their fault, other things such as verbal intimidation caused Li Yulian to be injured, which is simply a crime to be added!
"Your Excellency has wronged!" Li Rulan wanted to rush to the front of the hall to shout grievances, but was stopped by the officials.
"Dong'an Road is forbidden, why can the Li family break in on horseback?"
"It's clear that she rushed towards us without looking at the road, how can she blame us?"
"And it was the Li family's verbal provocation first, what did she have to do with my family's Langjun when she was injured?"
"Wronged!!"
Li Rulan said a lot in one breath, but Xu Gongran, who was above the high hall, didn't even look at her.
It's not that I don't want to look at it, but I don't dare to look at it.
Xu Gongran was also weak-hearted, how could he not know that his case was a little unjust.
So he only fined 500 yuan plus 10 big boards.
This punishment is not very light, but it is not very heavy, and the average person can afford it.
It stands to reason that his punishment is not heavy, and the Shen family will turn a blind eye to it, so why don't they still be spared.
Li Yulian stood up from the ground and looked at Li Rulan and the others with a smug face.
"Humph! I advise you to see your identity as soon as possible, and lowly people are also worthy of fighting with me? ”
"These ten boards are considered light, I tell you, this matter is not over, wait for my father to come, and you will be more beautiful! I'm afraid you won't be able to get out of the gate of Qingzhou City for the time being. ”
Li Yulian sneered, it seemed that there was still a back hand waiting for the Shen family.
Li Rulan looked at Li Yulian hatefully, "Heaven is evil, it's still violated!" You can't live if you do your own evil! You will be punished for this! ”
She didn't want to have too much to do with the Li family, but who knew that they refused to let her go.
On Shen Zhengwen's side, the master was already ordering the officials to be executed.
"Come on, pull the Shen clan out to play ten boards!"
"Don't !!" Tiezi and the others rushed forward, trying to save their father.
The half-sized son had a lot of strength, and he almost broke through the barrier of the officials.
"Iron!" Shen Zhengwen shouted, "You quickly take your younger brothers and retreat!" ”
This is the yamen, and the officials are all armed with swords, so it would be bad if they hurt the children.
He looked at Li Rulan again, "Rulan, it's okay, it's just ten boards, I can bear it." ”
Saying that, he took the initiative to go to the execution area.
Xu Gongran admired Shen Zhengwen's integrity a little, and looked at this side with appreciative eyes.
Just then, something shook his eyes.
He fixed his eyes on it, and that, that! Isn't that his jade gourd!
Taking a closer look, the jade gourd turned out to be played with by the youngest child of the Shen family.
Xiao Niannian just wanted to see if this peacock essence was a good official as people said he was, so he didn't move before.
I didn't expect her to think too much, this peacock is obviously a dog official!
If you want to beat her father, you have to ask her if she agrees.
The Shen family was busy stepping forward to stop the execution of the officials, and they didn't notice Xiao Niannian behind them.
Xiao Niannian took the jade gourd, threw it up, and fell back into his hand.
Xu Gongran's eyes were straight, and his heart followed the jade gourd, for fear that the child would break the jade gourd.
Shen Zhengwen had already been pressed on the wooden bench by the officials to prepare for execution, and saw that the board was about to fall.
"Slow !!"
