Chapter 2 Really Lost Your Heart and Gone Crazy?
"Huh?"
This time, it was Song Ren's turn to be stunned.
Dare to be righteous and strict for a long time, is he the one who oppresses the people?
Chai Dafu's eyes were blazing when he looked at Song Ren, he had always felt inferior to his appearance, but because of his identity, no one dared to mention it to his face.
This time, he was insulted in public by this little master as a pig.
This master was hired by himself at a great cost.
How can you not hate!
Looking at this scene, He Zhixian couldn't help but sneer: "Song Ren, I think you are really crazy, the pleadings were written by you, and you submitted them to the official's case, but you transferred from the main complaint to the defendant, aren't you teasing the official?" ”
"Even if the official doesn't have the right to punish you, you can report it to the school official to revoke your fame, and then you can be regarded as a common man."
Song Ren listened to He Zhixian's words, and suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.
Because according to the law, after the lawyer submits the pleadings, a person like him who goes to speak for the defendant in the middle of the way is indeed considered a bully.
If you don't have the identity of Xiucai, the lightest ass will have to be beaten with twenty or thirty sticks, and you will be half-crippled if you don't die.
Otherwise, just like He Zhixian said, get fame.
The only way to remedy it at the moment is to help Chai Dafu sue the maid Xiaocui and fulfill his duties.
But Song Ren glanced at Xiao Cui, who was kneeling on the ground and sobbing constantly, especially the red and swollen palm prints on her face, he really couldn't open his mouth.
Because he knew that he was in ancient times, when human life was like a mustard, and the lowest poor people like Xiaocui, once he helped to convict him, it would be regarded as condemning Xiaocui to life and death.
Fifty taels of silver, Xiao Cui can't earn so much until she dies!
Seeing that Song Ren had lost his previous momentum, He Zhixian's contempt in his heart was even more: "Song Ren, this official asked you, what else can you say about this case?" ”
Seeing the expression on He Zhixian's face, Song Renyi gritted his teeth.
Damn, let it go!
Song Ren arched his hand and said bluntly: "Lord Zhixian, this case is strange, Xiaocui, as a maid of Chaifu, how dare she blatantly commit a crime. Moreover, why would a weak woman be so good that Chai Dafu, who is a hundred times stronger than her in strength and size, there must be a reason! ”
Just as Song Ren was about to continue, Chai Dafu covered his mouth.
"Woo!"
As soon as Song Ren struggled away, He Zhixian knocked on the startling wood several times.
"Bold! How can you wait for the court to pull and pull! ”
Chai Dafu shrunk his neck, which was not long, and said with a sneer: "Lord He, this Song Ren fainted inexplicably before, I am afraid that he has lost his mind and gone crazy, and he can't count what he said before." ”
"But the pleadings he wrote are still there, so you can do what is written on the pleadings, and you will be punished."
Chai Dafu was a little panicked, on the one hand, he had already heard the questioning voices of the onlookers.
On the other hand, he was really afraid that Song Ren's notorious mouth that reversed black and white would make this case yellow.
He Zhixian looked at the flattering smile on Chai Dafu's face and moved his body with difficulty.
He wanted to hold on to this matter, how could he make this Song Ren lose his reputation, but he did have important things to do.
Two days ago, the prefect of Yangzhou sent a letter to remind him that the inspector sent by the governor of Nanzhili was going to inspect Jiangdu County under his jurisdiction.
After calculating the distance, it was almost time to come today, and he really didn't have time to delay this.
And he didn't want the inspector to seize the handle, and anyone with a discerning eye knew what the real situation of this case was.
Song Ren is not wrong about one thing, just that Chai Dafu looks like a pig demonization, which woman will tempt him if she is blind?
But of course, maybe this woman is greedy for the money of Chai Dafu?
However, He Zhi County is too lazy to care, after all, Chai Dafu is a famous business gentry in the county, and he also receives a lot of benefits from him on weekdays.
In my heart, I suddenly had a measure.
Clearing his throat, He Zhixian sat upright, and his fat body made the chair creak.
"The maid Xiaocui, the temptation of firewood is not successful, and she hurts people maliciously. Chai Dafu was benevolent and righteous, and only asked for compensation for the cost of fifty taels of decoction, and the official sentenced him to a fine, and Xiaocui handed over fifty taels to Chai Dafu within three days. ”
"Quit!"
He Zhixian was shocked, and the officials watching the play on both sides hurriedly knocked on the water and fire sticks in their hands.
The sound of "mighty" came and went.
This case is closed.
Song Ren tried to defend himself, but the sound was muffled by the sound of the officials striking the wooden sticks.
The maid Xiaocui still knelt on the ground, kowtowing desperately and shouting "wronged".
His head was bleeding, and his thin body was trembling.
But no one paid any attention to her.
Fifty taels? She couldn't help but smile wryly.
When she was bought in Chaifu, she was only worth five taels of silver.
She was originally a slave, signed a deed of sale, and lived and died as a person from Chai Mansion.
Chai Dafu made this fuss, not because her cousin came to her a few days ago, and planned to redeem her for ten taels of silver.
Chai Dafu was naturally willing, but when he came, he wanted to occupy her body and gain both wealth and sex.
In the yamen, the people began to be cleared.
The crowd of onlookers was still pointing, but they seemed to have long been used to it.
Even if someone questioned it, no one paid attention.
Chai Dafu stood aside and rubbed his hands with a smug expression.
He Zhixian is too fat, and he still needs someone to help him when he gets up.
Just when Master Kang was hunched his back and was going to step forward to help He Zhi County.
Just when the officials on both sides were holding water and fire sticks to drive outsiders out of the yamen.
The maid Xiaocui suddenly stood up, and the blood on her forehead flowed down the bridge of her nose.
I saw that she seemed to laugh and cry, pointing at He Zhixian and Chai Dafu and scolding: "You dog officials, and you rich and unkind brutes, you will have retribution!" ”
Before everyone could react, Xiao Cui rushed to the support pillar in the public hall and hit her head on it.
"Jump!"
There was a loud bang.
Xiao Cui's body was soft on the ground, bleeding all over her face.
In an instant, the hall was silent.
Everyone was shocked, and the most surprising was Song Ren.
As a modern man, he has never seen anything like this.
"Cui'er! Oh my Cui'er! ”
Among the onlookers, a middle-aged man suddenly cried.
wanted to rush in, but was stopped by the officials.
He is Cui'er's cousin, and he finally found his niece and wanted to redeem it, but he didn't admit to coming up with this matter.
never thought that Xiaocui was so strong that she would prove her innocence by death.
He Zhixian half-got up and sat down heavily.
He narrowed his eyes and frowned.
He glanced at Master Kang, and with a wave of his hand, the officials began to drive away the people and drive them out of the yamen.
Especially Cui'er's cousin.
Master Kang came to Xiao Cui's side and reached out to touch his neck.
Then, Song Ren heard Master Kang muttering in a low voice, "Tsk, this is not dead." ”
Master Kang waved his sleeves and bowed his hand to He Zhixian: "My lord, I just fainted." ”
"Hmph."
He Zhixian raised his eyebrows, and the expression on his face was a little disgusted: "Carry it down, carry it down, don't defile the court." ”
Looking at the two servants lifting the unconscious Xiaocui, Chai Dafu on the side didn't forget to spit and said, "This! ”
All of this was seen by Song Ren.
He clenched his fists but let go, feeling like he had been drained of all his strength.
He didn't know how he came to the yamen.
All he knew was that the noonday sun shone in and shone on the plaque of "Mirror Hanging", shining brightly and full of irony.
He only knew that Xiao Cui was carried away like this, and the blood on her face dripped all over the ground.
He watched Chai Dafu follow He Zhixian into the back hall, and the two of them looked like they were talking and laughing.
That sense of powerlessness and guilt kept tugging at Song Ren's heart.
Isn't a maid human?
If you have been wronged, you can only complain in this way?
Is this the parent official?
Song Ren was confused, and he suddenly wanted to go back to modern times and continue to be his student.
All around, the people pointed at him and cursed, and even worse, spat on him.
They didn't dare to scold Chai Dafu, let alone accuse He Zhixian, so they could only sprinkle their injustice on this division.
Even this master didn't help Chai Dafu from beginning to end.
But the reputation of Song Ren's predecessor has long been on the stinky street in Jiangdu County.
At this moment, several people with sticks gathered around not far away.
"That's Song Ren, who took the fifty taels deposit from Master Chai but didn't do anything good, the master's meaning is very simple, let him pay back one hundred taels with interest, and by the way, break his teeth, so that he can't speak again."
"Whoever comes back with a tooth will turn over the monthly money this month!"
