Chapter 066: Grass Folk Protest
Shu Jin stared intently at the eight-character complaint, and said with a relieved smile: "With these eight words, let alone the prefect of the county, even the prefect or even the provincial government yamen will have to retry the case." ”
"Judgment is like a god, and the evidence is the evidence."
Lu Xiuyuan looked at it and praised it again and again: "Wonderful, wonderful." ”
The first four words first praised the presiding judge, but the last four words had a warning meaning, and his little face turned red for a while.
In the three years since he served as the canonical history of Gangneung City, although he did not dare to claim to be a god in judging cases, he was also a dedicated errand, and now he beat the suspect into a trick without even finding the head of the deceased, which is really embarrassing.
Knowing that he had made a mistake, he immediately ordered the county clerk to step forward and stamp it, collect the complaint, and hurriedly called to the messengers: "Please Miss Hua get into the sedan chair." ”
"Get on the sedan chair?"
Hearing these two words, Hua Rujin's scalp was numb, and I couldn't help but think of the Dou family.
I didn't expect Lu Xiuyuan to be so grand, and he actually prepared a sedan chair from the official mansion to come.
For a while, she was a little overwhelmed.
And the Han brothers looked at the excitement of Lord Dian Shi, and gradually realized that this case really had room to turn around.
Han Dong did not hesitate to hand over the fifty taels of silver prepared in advance to Cai Baiwei, who was looking confused: "Auntie, this is the silver promised to Miss Hua, a total of fifty taels, you take it first, if you really rescue my brother, I will thank you again in the future." ”
Cai Baiwei's mind was still messed up at this time, she thought that the guest she said was really a guest at home, but she never thought that she was a bitter master who came to beg her daughter to go to court.
She looked at her daughter with a blank expression, as if she didn't know how to respond.
Hua Rujin stepped forward and stuffed the silver back into Han Dong's hand, and responded with a smile: "Don't worry about the silver, rescuing your brother is the top priority right now." ”
Glancing down at the two little beans again, she bent down and rubbed their little faces, and whispered, "Stay at home with A-Niang and wait for me to come back." ”
Hua Muyang was worried that Sister A would have another accident, so she reluctantly hugged her and refused to let go.
Seeing this, the elegant cousin hurriedly came over and comforted him gently: "Muyang, your sister is complaining for others today, and it will be fine." ”
Then he looked at Cai Baiwei, who was nervous, and said with a smile: "Little uncle, the little nephew will lead you to the county government with Youen and Muyang." ”
Today is the first time my cousin has gone to court, and it is an extremely shocking thing not only for her, but also for the entire Gangneung City.
For the first time, a woman went to court to defend someone, but she was afraid that she would attract attention.
Thinking of the promise he made to his cousin a few days ago, he wanted to go over and cheer for his cousin in person.
After listening to Shu Jinxuan's words, Cai Baiwei and the two little beans finally breathed a sigh of relief, and watched Hua Rujin sit in the sedan chair of the official mansion, and then closed the courtyard door and followed Shu Jinxuan to the county government together in the carriage.
In the tunnel, the old beggar also led Cheng Nini to dress up in disguise and quietly blended into the crowd who went to the county government to see the excitement.
The sun gradually rose, and the county officials and officials in the county office of Gangneung City had not yet arrived, but the outside of the government was already full of people watching the excitement.
Knowing that a female lawyer had come to sue for the criminals today, everyone not only felt novel, but also began to gather together in a pile and whispered:
"I heard that the one who sued for the Han family today is the Miss Hua family who collided with the prefect in the yamen of the state capital yesterday, this person is a weak woman who has some ability, and just a few words made the prefect change the decree."
"It's just a widow, I'm afraid that I am anxious to save my father, and I hit the prefect's heart by mistake, which is not a real skill, today's case is very tricky, which is what she can handle as a woman, it is simply a humiliation."
"I'm afraid that the Han family brothers have water in their brains, there are not a few well-known lawyers in Jiangling City, and Shi Gongzi and Yan Gongzi have even been to the provincial capital to set up the political yamen, and only they can turn things around this kind of big case."
As a cold figure gradually walked into the court, the whispering and chattering around suddenly stopped, and they all stared at the court quietly.
Ye Chengwei was dressed in a red official robe, sitting firmly on the public court, and his calm and relaxed elegant posture suddenly attracted the attention of a group of women:
"Ye Gongzi is really a dragon and phoenix among people, not only dignified, but also talented, just came to the county for more than a month to find out many unsolved cases, it is really amazing."
"I heard that I haven't married yet, so my sister has to hurry."
"Cut, don't think about it, it is said that the Ye family has a lot of connections with the famous Miss Shiyin in our county, and it has been rumored in the county recently, saying that the old lady of the Ye family is going to make Miss Shiyin her daughter-in-law."
Hearing this, the women were all gloomy.
Tang Haoran, the county magistrate, glanced at the crowd outside the ya, and quietly turned his head to glance at Ye Chengwei, who had a solemn look in his eyes, and then shouted: "Take Han Chun and the defense lawyer to the court." ”
Zhang Xiu, who had been waiting in the lobby for a long time, thought that he was coming to the county government to receive the money today, but after listening to the surrounding discussions, he began to notice that something was wrong.
He looked at the four directions with uncertain eyes, and then looked at Ye Chengwei with a serious face with a slightly flustered face, and asked urgently: "My lord, can the Han family's compensation be properly raised?" ”
"There's no hurry."
The corners of Ye Chengwei's lips were slightly hooked, revealing a casual sneer.
The starry eyes flickered slightly, staring at Hua Rujin and the Han brothers who walked into the court.
"My lord, my brother has been wronged, and I implore you to make the decision for my brother."
Han Dong glanced at Han Chun, who was lying on the ground on his side and was beaten beyond recognition, and his heart ached suddenly, and while holding the complaint high in his hand, the tears in his eyes couldn't help but burst out of his eyes.
"It's nonsense, your brother himself confessed to the murder, how can he say that he is wronged?"
Tang Haoran glared at Han Dong viciously, and when he looked at Hua Rujin standing tall under the hall, he couldn't help muttering in his heart.
I learned that the Han family invited a lawyer to come, but I never thought that it was the little widow of the Hua family.
I don't know what kind of medicine is sold in the gourd of the county lord.
It was obviously a simple murder case, but it had to be so tossed, and now letting a woman and a widow come to the court is simply defiling the sacred majesty of the court.
He didn't want to ask Lord Zhixian clearly, but leaned into Ye Chengwei's ear with a serious tone and whispered: "My lord, could it be that the lawyer invited by the Han family is this Miss Hua family?" ”
Ye Chengwei turned a deaf ear to the county Cheng's meaningful question, and only beckoned to the chief bookkeeper Dou Yiheng, signaling him to take the paper and look at it casually.
looked at the eight big characters reflected on the paper, and then showed a smile of relief.
Looking back at Hua Rujin and the Han family brothers slowly, Ye Chengwei said in a light tone: "What Tang County Cheng said is true, Han Chun did confess the fact of killing Zhang Yuan on his own, Miss Hua dared to stand up and step into the court today, she must have other opinions, you might as well say it?" ”
Without waiting for Hua Rujin to speak, Zhang Xiu raised his eyes and looked at the familiar face beside him, and suddenly showed a look of surprise:
Isn't this the woman I met in the Golden Lake Tower yesterday?
Frightened, he hurriedly stopped: "My lord, the grass people protest." ”
Then, he pointed to Hua Rujin and said indignantly: "How can a woman go to court to sue for others." ”
