Chapter 48: Confrontation in court
As soon as Gu Yanning entered the door, he saw the white and chubby Liu Dajian.
This is the man who is slandered by mankind!
He walked up aggressively, grabbed the fat man by the collar and was about to start.
The fat man was so frightened by Gu Yanning that his face turned white, "Let go, let go, be presumptuous!" Gu Xiao, if you dare to beat me, I, our Liu family will definitely let you sit through the prison! ”
Gu Yanning turned a deaf ear, and the casserole-sized fist was about to hit the fat man's face.
"Gu Xiao, stop!"
As soon as the Gu family patriarch wanted to stop it, he heard Jiang Mian's cold voice. His face suddenly turned unpleasant.
When Gu Yanning heard Jiang Mian's voice, he reluctantly accepted it, and when he looked back at Jiang Mian's cold eyes, he was extremely aggrieved.
Mianmian won't really believe this human, right? Talking humans, it's annoying!
Gu Yanning drooped his head, like a large dog that had lost a fight outside, and slowly walked in front of his master to sell pity.
Jiang Mian glanced at him and ignored him.
She said to the fat man: "Gu Xiao is also back, just go to the yamen, and say one, two, three." ”
The fat man had lingering palpitations about Gu Yanning, and he said tremblingly: "Jiang, you have thought clearly, even Gu Xiao's irritable and ruthless temperament, he can't please him when he goes to the Yamen!" ”
"What, don't you dare?"
"Don't dare? Oh, don't cry and beg me! A hint of ruthlessness flashed in the fat man's eyes.
The old lady said to the second young master that if the Gu family is interested, it is the best, if they are not interested, they will go directly to the yamen, and there is no need to be polite to them. Anyway, their Liu family is not short of the 1,000 taels of silver, and as for the Jiang family's ...... "Gu Xiao" entered, they have a way to make her succumb.
A group of people went to the yamen in a mighty way.
"Bang" startled, and the field was suddenly quiet.
"Who is the court suing?"
"Back to my lord, the person who complained is a people's woman...... The woman is Liu Chunhua, a servant of the Liu family in Changping Village, who sued Gu Xiao. The sackclothed woman replied in a trembling voice.
"Why?"
"Your Excellency...... Woo woo" Before Liu Chunhua could speak, tears fell first.
The county magistrate frowned, and his voice was majestic: "Liu Chunhua, if you don't understand what you say, find someone who can explain the plain!" ”
"Woo...... Folk women, folk women can explain it! ”
Liu Chunhua intermittently said what happened, and she also stepped forward to testify that Liu Sheng did die of a ruptured liver and bleed.
The county magistrate looked at the Gu family who were kneeling quietly, and after retracting his gaze, he said, "Liu Chunhua, is what you said true?" If it is not true, this official can sentence you to the crime of false accusation, the crime of false accusation is the same crime as the person who was falsely accused, you are accusing Gu Xiao of the crime of killing your head, if you are falsely accused, this official can sentence you to kill your head, do you know? ”
Liu Chunhua was so frightened by the county master's words that she forgot to shed tears.
This...... How can this still be her business? Isn't it the end of the lawsuit?
She shook herself and looked back at the fat man next to her.
"Smack!"
The county magistrate slapped a shocking wood, "Liu Chunhua, do you know?" ”
Liu Chunhua came back to her senses, "Clear, clear." ”
The county magistrate glanced at her, "Do you want to continue to sue?" ”
Liu Chunhua looked at the solemn catchers on both sides, and didn't dare to speak for a while.
The county magistrate urged her again.
"Continue, continue!" Liu Chunhua closed her eyes. Her family is pinched by the Liu family, and she has no way out.
When the county magistrate heard Liu Chunhua's answer, he turned to ask Gu Yanning: "Gu Xiao, do you have any rebuttal to Liu Chunhua's words?" ”
Gu Yanning was quietly looking at Jiang Mian, and when he heard the words of the county master, he didn't look up. Anyway, he can't speak, what are you doing with your head up?
"Gu Xiao!"
Jiang Mian motioned to the county magistrate that she had something to say, and the county magistrate allowed her.
"My lord, the woman is Gu Xiao's wife. Gu Xiao had a high fever before, which burned his throat, so I can't reply to you, please forgive me. Regarding Liu Chunhua's complaint, Dabao, the son of the people's woman, witnessed the whole process, and he could reply on behalf of Gu Xiao. ”
Jiang Mian spoke generously, and the county magistrate glanced at her more.
He is a man of courage.
He looked at the named treasure again.
Dabao has a serious face, and he is not stage frightened.
The county magistrate nodded with satisfaction in his heart, and he had a good impression of this family.
"Dabao, you come."
"My lord, my dad didn't kill anyone. This morning Uncle Fat brought a group of people to my house, each with a stick in his hand, and said that he wanted us to 'return the money'. ”
"At that time, my cousin and I were very confused, and when I went up to ask what was going on, the man saw that we were two children and thought we were in the way, so he kicked my cousin. My cousin was kicked in a cold sweat and turned white. ”
Yu Changhuan, who was kneeling next to him, shook his body very cooperatively, with a terrible painful expression.
"My father was planting flowers at the time, and when he saw my cousin being kicked, he wanted to go up and ask what was going on, but they were very arrogant, and a bunch of people raised sticks and were going to beat people. In order to protect me, my father kicked the uncle who was closest to me. Speaking of this, Dabao blamed himself and shed tears.
"When they saw that their people were kicked, they were very angry, and they were going to beat people one by one, who knew that my father was so powerful, and beat them all down."
"We were all relieved that the gang was gone."
"They came back soon after, and said my father had kicked someone to death."
"I knew it would be like this, I would definitely pull my father, even if they beat him to death, I wouldn't let my father do it......" Speaking of this, Dabao sniffed, forced himself not to cry, and sobbed and wiped his tears with the back of his hand.
The second, third, and fourth treasures who knelt in a row behind them were also crying sullenly, wiping the corners of their eyes from time to time.
Jiang Mian's eyes were red, "My lord, please Mingjian, although the man in my family can fight a little, he is very measured, and he will never kill!" ”
The county magistrate looked at the family, and a pity rose in his heart. He was silent for a moment and called someone to come and examine Yu Changhuan's injuries.
Yu Changhuan's stomach was blue and black, which was terrifying.
It was so heavy on a twelve or thirteen-year-old boy!
It can be seen how fierce that group of people was at that time.
"Gu Xiao" killed Liu Sheng by mistake, which is also understandable.
"Why did Liu Sheng go to the Gu family?" The county magistrate's face was solemn.
Listening to what Dabao said, it was the Liu family who made trouble first. In this way, "Gu Xiao" is not a big traitor, and the crime of killing the head can be exempted.
Liu Chunhua trembled and said, "Steward Liu said that the Gu family had pit money and wanted to come back." ”
The fat man said: "A few days ago, the Jiang family took advantage of the fact that my young master was sick and urgently needed ginseng, so he took advantage of the fire to rob and sold a ginseng plant of eight hundred taels for one thousand taels, and we came to ask for silver." ”
"Although we were a little fierce when we came to the door, it doesn't mean that Gu Xiao can kill people, and please make the decision for us!"
It's not something that can't be said. The buyer felt that he had suffered a loss, so he went to the seller to settle the account, and did not sue the official, and the government would not care about this matter.
In fact, according to the old lady's meaning, she wanted the Gu family to spit out all the silver.
Why is the second young master of his family sick? Aren't you going to see the grave of Narausch?
All this is caused by the vixen of the Jiang family, why should they take their money? Knowing that they lack ginseng, they still dare to sell it for money? Jiang's she should offer it with both hands in order to atone for the crime!
They also know that this is unreasonable in the eyes of outsiders, but so what?
As long as "Gu Xiao" is determined to kill someone, no matter who makes trouble first, he will not be able to escape the disaster of prison. As long as "Gu Xiao" goes in, whether he can come out or not, another story.
The county magistrate glanced at the Liu family in a heavy manner.
He knew the Liu family's intentions. But a person was kicked to death by "Gu Xiao", and he couldn't ignore the etiquette law in vain.
