Chapter 312: There is evidence
After Zhang Cuiying's tearful statement, Gu Yunji understood the cause and effect before and after, and had a general understanding in his heart. Then he looked at Xue Liu, who was impatient and wanted to argue for a long time, motioned to Chen Peishi to take off the sweat towel in his mouth, and said, "Xue Liu, you can speak now." ”
"She's dirty...... Gross-"
Chen Peishi stuffed the handkerchief tightly and firmly, and suddenly took it off, Xue Liu couldn't help but retch, which provoked Chen Peishi to take several steps back in disgust. After a long while, Xue Liu finally relieved himself and said loudly: "She slandered!" It's all nonsense! ”
"I used to exchange land with them, but I didn't force them, I didn't rob them, they signed a contract with me voluntarily! As for the fields on the mountainside of the Rongyin Mountain, it is indeed not as fertile as their twenty acres of land on the riverbank, but I have explained this early on! ”
"I said plainly that the field I used to exchange with them was located in Rongyin Mountain, and although it was fifty acres in size, the soil was relatively poor, and it was not as fertile as the silt fields on the riverbank. It was their Zhang family who was greedy, as soon as they heard that there were fifty acres of paddy fields, they were afraid that such a good thing would disappear in a blink of an eye, so they immediately signed the contract regardless of thirty-seven twenty-one, and they wanted to regret it afterwards, can they still blame me? ”
Xue Liu glanced at Zhang Cuiying contemptuously, and then turned to Gu Yunji, looking deeply wronged: "Her father Zhang Fengyi died of illness, and her husband Qi Zhijian's legs were broken by falling rocks falling from the mountain when he was farming. Zhang Cuiying couldn't accept the reality herself, so she pushed everything on me, Master Gu, I am really more wronged than Dou E! ”
"Whew! Xue Liu, you are a black-hearted person, you reverse right and wrong like this, aren't you afraid of thunder and thunder! ”
Zhang Cuiying smacked at him angrily, trembling with anger: "My family lives in the village at the foot of Rongyin Mountain, what is the situation on Rongyin Mountain, the fertile fields are geometric, can we not know?" The mountains are overgrown with weeds, no one has cleared them for years, and the only canal has long been blocked by the collapsed mountain. ”
"Our village is located at the foot of the mountain, and in the famine years, we still encounter the uncivilized natives on the mountain who come down to steal grain, let alone the more remote and uninhabited mountainside? said that it was an inferior dry field, and it was still fifty acres of paddy field, Xue Liu, you are really shameless! ”
Xue Liu's face turned red from being choked by her, and he shouted unwillingly: "Who is shameless? You coveted the fifty acres of land yourself, and signed a contract with me without any field investigation, and afterwards you repented and failed to claim the land from me, so you went around claiming that I had forcibly robbed you of your land. The contract was signed, I was out, and in the end I was still infamous, am I not wronged! ”
"Originally, I pitied your family for being ruined, and life was difficult, so I didn't want to worry about you. I didn't expect you to take advantage of the fact that the general judge came to Yibin County to inspect and accuse him of false accusations! But Zhang Cuiying, don't forget, this is a public court, it's not who is weak and who is reasonable, don't try to sympathize with your family's misery! ”
Zhang Cuiying didn't seem to have thought that he was so thick-skinned, and when the two mouths touched up and down, he made things look different. Looking at Xue Liu's greasy and arrogant face, Zhang Cuiying was extremely resentful, pointing at his hand trembling, and he couldn't speak: "Xue Liu, you, you dog official, you are shameless......"
"Alright." Gu Yunji raised his hand and motioned for Zhang Cuiying to calm down, "Don't mention anything else, Xue Liu said something well, above the court, the speech must be evidenced." Zhang Cuiying, you said that Xue Liu encroached on 20 acres of fertile land on the bank of your family's river, is there any evidence? ”
Zhang Cuiying took a deep breath and nodded: "The folk girl has evidence, and the title deed of the twenty acres of fertile land is still in the hands of the folk girl." ”
Gu Yunji said: "Can you give this official a look?" ”
"It's nature."
As she spoke, Zhang Cuiying carefully took out a small cloth bag from her arms and opened the neatly folded title deed inside. Seeing this, Chen Peishi wanted to step forward and hand it over, but Zhang Cuiying dodged his movements, turned around and looked vigilantly at Xue Liu, who was tiptoeing and wanted to peep, and personally handed over the title deed to Gu Yunji.
The paper of the title deed is yellow and brittle, and it looks a little old, but it has been well preserved and the handwriting is legible. How many acres of land, where is it located, who it belongs to, and what changes have been made in the sale...... It is all clearly written, and there is also the seal of the government and the signature of Zhang Fengyi, the father of Zhang Cuiying, there is no doubt that there is no problem with the title deed.
Zhang Cuiying said: "After Xue Liu forcibly snatched the land, he forced me to hand over the title deed, but I didn't obey and hid the title deed at home. He tried many tricks to trick me into taking it out, but to no avail. In the end, he simply forged a land deed and gave it to Lord Chen of Tongzhi along with 20 acres of fertile land. ”
"They have a forged title deed stamped by the government, and the original record of the title deed has also been destroyed, even if the real title deed is in my hands, it is useless. I went to the government to sue Xue Liu, but they didn't accept it at all, and I also went to see Master Chen, but I didn't even see the face of the person. If it weren't for you, the general judge, I am afraid that the people would not even have the opportunity to appeal in court in this life. ”
As she spoke, Zhang Cuiying came from grief and burst into tears.
No wonder when Gu Yunji proposed to see the title deed on the bank of the river that day, Zhang Cuiying would be so vigilant and repulsive, presumably because she had been harassed and coaxed by Xue Liu and others many times in the past few years, and she was about to become a frightened bird.
It is difficult to say whether this title deed can help Zhang Cuiying regain the land, but it is sufficient to confirm what she said, and it is a very strong evidence.
Putting down the title deed in his hand, Gu Yunji looked at Xue Liu, who was sweating on the side, his eyes were slightly cold: "The title deed has been checked by the official, there is no problem, the seal of the official government and Zhang Fengyi's signature are very clear." Xue Liu, what do you say? ”
From the moment Zhang Cuiying took out the title deed, Xue Liu's face instantly turned pale, he subconsciously swallowed his saliva, and quibbled: "When I signed the land exchange contract with the Zhang family three years ago, they claimed that the land deed paper was defective, and I was afraid that it would not be preserved for a long time, so we replaced the title deed, and the original title deed was invalid and useless, and I saw it destroyed with my own eyes." As for the one she has in her hand, it must be ...... She must have faked it! ”
"Forged?" Gu Yunji sneered and sneered, "Zhang Cuiying, a peasant girl, actually has such a great ability to forge the seal of the government?" ”
Xue Liu's sweat was like rain, and he just followed his words and nonsense: "Yes, yes...... Xia Guan doesn't know where she got such a big ability......"
Seeing that Xue Liu was so brazen, Gu Yunji's smile slowly tightened, and his voice implied anger: "Since you said that the former title deed was defective and has been replaced. Then bring the title deed and the land exchange contract, and the official will see who is forging it! ”
