Sixty-four, Luming Street case
Luming Street.
On the street outside the Yawai of Longcheng County.
Once again, the street was raised.
Because the county government hall was already occupied by a huge sand table and could not be promoted, Ouyang Rong had no choice but to ask the officials to move out the public desk and other objects and place them on the steps at the door.
Just like arresting Liu Zilin on the first day and coming to Longcheng County to take office in a hurry.
Later, everyone found out that even more coincidentally, this time even the characters seemed to be the same as that day.
Only this time, there were more people watching the ascension.
Not only Wang Caozhi, Wu Bo and other grain merchants and squires who had gathered in the county hall before, but also found that the case involved Xie Lingjiang, who they were familiar with, and they were all attracted to watch.
The young county magistrate even caught a glimpse of Liu Ziwen and others behind the crowd of onlookers gathered on the street......
It's prepared.
Subsequently, the female master was sued by the three young men of the Liu family, and the news that the new county ordered the street to be promoted to handle the case also spread throughout the small half of the dragon city for a while, and many rich people gathered on Luming Street to watch, Yan Liulang condensed his eyebrows and took the catchers to preside over the order.
Ouyang Rong sat down in an official uniform.
Boom~
"Silence! Ascension! ”
There was a startled sound, and then a young county order shouted, and the lively street fell silent in an instant.
On the stage, Ouyang Rong was sitting in danger.
At the foot of the steps, Liu Zilin and Xie Lingjiang stood separately, the former sneering with his hands behind his back, and the latter pursing his lips and holding his head high.
"Who is in the hall and why did you report the crime?"
Liu Zilin shouted: "There are thieves in the county office, stealing grass people's property!" ”
"Where is the thief, and where is the property?"
"The thief is her, the popular master around the county order!"
Liu Zilin pointed to Xie Lingjiang, who was staring at him with disgust, "Property...... She stole the slave maid of the grass people, the orchid Yingniang of Yuanming Restaurant! ”
Xie Lingjiang looked up and said, "Master...... Lord County Order, Yingniang was redeemed by someone I entrusted with money, she is already free, I didn't steal! ”
Slaves and sluts, law is more than property.
Therefore, the law of the Great Zhou Dynasty does not regard plundering and seducing slaves and maidservants as the crime of kidnapping or trafficking in human beings, but as the crime of robbery or theft of property.
Ouyang Rong didn't look at the little junior sister, stared at Liu Zilin:
"Whoever asserts who adduces evidence, what about the evidence."
Liu Zilin sneered and took out a document from his arms and handed it to the scrivener, who presented it to the public desk.
Ouyang Rong lowered his head and flipped through it, this is a city ticket, stamped with the seal of the city order official.
A few days ago, he had just traded at the West Market Entrance Horse Shop, and he was no stranger to this thing, and every slave trade had to be issued by the city order, which was also the only certificate.
After turning it over twice, he couldn't see any mistakes, Ouyang Rong turned his head and ordered the scribe twice, and soon the city order official of the Longcheng slave market was brought back, it was an old city order.
He handed the city bill to the old city order, who checked it and respectfully handed it over:
"Yu Mingtang, this city bond is true, Hu Ji Yingniang has been transferred to Liu Zilin by the previous owner Luo Er free of charge, and this was issued yesterday, the procedures are complete, all three parties are present, and the City Order Division should be able to testify."
Xie Lingjiang looked incredulous, and blurted out: "Didn't Luo Er take Yingniang to the City Order Division to redeem herself yesterday?" I'll pick it up in the evening! ”
"What redemption? Reversing black and white, it is clear that I bought it, and there are all human and physical evidence! ”
Liu Zilin muttered loudly, and then immediately sneered:
"Okay, now you finally admit that you stole my slave yesterday!"
Ouyang Rong vaguely understood something in his heart, but he still calmly said to the city order:
"Go and bring all the colleagues who issued this market bond yesterday for verification."
"Yes." The old city order is temporarily withdrawn.
"You folks and elders have also seen it! This is my slave! ”
Liu Zilin arched his hand towards the crowded street behind him, turned back sharply, and carried the momentum unrelentingly, scorching:
"Lord County Order, the grass people's orchid slave maid was stolen, and he hasn't returned overnight, the grass people inquired, it was the thief under your seat who stole it, and she took it back to the Su Mansion on Luming Street, I hope that the county commander can not show favoritism, preside over justice, find it for the grass people, don't let her people take the slave thief away again!"
"You've got a clear inquiry."
Ouyang Rong nodded, and gestured to Yan Liulang: "Go to Su Mansion to check people." ”
Yan Liulang's face was serious, and he took the order and left.
Xie Ling Jiang raised his eyebrows at Liu Zilin and shouted angrily:
"This thief is going to spew blood! First of all, you are a forged document, I did not steal your slave maid, Yingniang has redeemed her free body, I personally went to pick her up yesterday; Secondly, my personal private affairs have nothing to do with the county magistrate, don't blame the thief and scold Huai, and cause trouble! ”
Liu Zilin looked ahead, didn't look at her, and pouted:
"It's not certain, you'd better not."
"You ......"
At this time, the old city order came with a few colleagues from the city order department, they took the city coupon handed by Ouyang Rong and looked at it, and under Ouyang Rong's instructions, they went to take a look at Liu Zilin, and then they all nodded without hesitation and testified that the city bond was true.
The contract of sale of slaves and maids was established.
The corners of Liu Zilin's mouth curled.
Xie Lingjiang Qiao's face suddenly turned blue, and there was a faint sense of bad premonition in his heart.
Looking down at the city bond contract on the table, the young county magistrate suddenly asked:
"Liu Zilin, who is this Luo Er who transferred it to your slave for free? Shouldn't Hu Ji Yingniang's deed of sale be in Yuanming Building? What is the relationship between this Luo Er and Yuanming Tower? ”
Liu Zilin shrugged as if nothing happened:
"It doesn't matter, it's just an errand intermediary, isn't this the last time I did something wrong, and accidentally contradicted the county magistrate, after being educated, I really feel guilty about this Ying Niang.
"Hey, I just want to buy her home and take good care of her, but I am afraid that the county magistrate will be prejudiced against me, so I will explain to Yuanminglou in advance and not let her go.
"So I had no choice but to find this second brother Luo, give him a night pearl, and let him go to Yuanming Mansion first to exchange for Yingniang's deed of sale, and then transfer it."
The third young man of the Liu family smiled slightly, and arched his hand towards the first public desk:
"Lord County Order, Xiaomin is also sincere, and the formalities are complete, there shouldn't be any violation of any Dragon City ordinance in doing so, right?"
Ouyang Rong glanced at him and didn't speak.
A certain men's girl suddenly calmed down, she slowly turned her head, her eyes stared directly at the "reasonable" Liu Zilin, and said word by word:
"Full, mouth, lie, word."
"The Night Pearl was given to Luo Er by me, and I also gave him an intermediary fee, asking him to go to Yuanming Building to redeem Yingniang first, and then go to the City Order Division to cancel the deed of sale and return Yingniang's free body. If I don't go in person, it's to prevent your Liu family from getting in the way. ”
She shook her head slowly: "But I never thought that your Liu family would be even more despicable and obscene than I imagined, forcing Ying Niang to sign such a shameless contract with Luo Er!" Disgusting, disgusting. ”
Liu Zilin looked at Xie Lingjiang with a puzzled expression:
"Why quibble? Can't you be honest and save a little face for the county magistrate? Otherwise, the swollen face that will be sucked after a while is not your own, or ......"
He paused, as if thinking of something, leaned back, and suddenly realized: "Or can you be covered up in front of the ironclad evidence, safe and sound?" Tut-tut......"
"Alright, don't make any noise."
Ouyang Rong spoke calmly, interrupting the dispute between the two, Yan Liulang had not returned yet, he first instructed the scribe behind him without looking back:
"Go to pass on Luo Er and the owner of Yuanming Building."
After explaining, the young county commander whispered to Liu Zilin, whose smile was brighter than the sun:
"You don't have to keep beating around the bush and saying that the official will shield a certain party."
He tilted his head slightly, and commanded aloud:
"Come on, go and invite the county officer, the chief bookkeeper, and the county lieutenant to come and watch and judge the case.
"In addition, in addition to the testimony and supervision of all the villagers and elders present today, the clerk also asks to write down every word and every word in this court, sort out and file it, and send the case to Jiangzhou for the officials to read."
After the arrangement, the young county magistrate faced the silent audience, and said calmly: "This Liu Shao has a sentence that is quite right......
"Today, there must be justice."
