It's coming, who's coming? Of course, it can't be that Yinzuo is here, as a brother has to avoid suspicion, at this time Yinzuo is leisurely hiding in the brother's house drinking tea, anyway, everything has been arranged, and he is not afraid that the other party will turn the sky upside down, Yinzuo is happy to be on the sidelines. Of course, it can't be Suo Etu, as a scholar, he also has to avoid suspicion, and he is discussing things with the prince in Yuqing Palace at this time.

At this time, there were two groups of people: one group was Guo Xiu who took the lead, leading several students from Luding Academy, followed by a lawyer dressed in white, with a white face and beard, holding a folding fan, with a smile on his face, shaking the fan while smiling and greeting the onlookers, and the crowd suddenly sounded an exclamation of "Zhong Dakou, Zhong Lawyer", this guy is Zhong Ying, one of the two famous mouths in Beijing; The other group is the three evil young men in the capital and some of their long-term followers and other characters, among which there is also a character dressed as a lawyer, dressed in black, and his face is also as dark as an old peasant, who is also holding a folding fan and shaking it, and the cheers in the crowd are not small, "Liu Dazui, Liu lawyer is here." "This black charcoal-like person is another famous person in the capital, Liu Sheng.

"Wow, Zhong Dakou is talking to Liu, this time it looks good." The crowd of onlookers erupted into a noisy noise, and someone immediately opened a gambling plate, betting on whether Zhong Dazui swallowed Liu Dazui, or Liu Dazui ate Zhong Dazui, the bet has accumulated to thousands of taels of silver in an instant, and the opening of the plate is 10 to 12 Liu Dazui wins. Zhong and Liu have fought lawsuits in the capital not one hundred but eighty, during which the two have fought many times, and they have won and lost each other, but this time the dealer is optimistic about Liu Dazui's victory, the reason is very simple - behind the three evils is Suo Etu, which is far stronger than Guo Xiu of Luding Academy in terms of power.

"Ascension." With a loud roar, the officials held the killing rod and shouted in unison, "Mighty." The new Shuntian Mansion Yin turned out of the back hall, and as soon as he sat down, he immediately patted the hall and said, "Take someone to commit a crime." Most likely, Lin Xuanyi was escorted in with shackles, but it was obvious that the shackles were added before entering the lobby.

Zhu Tianbao slapped the shocked wood and said: "Kneel down, report your name, your place of origin?" ”

Before Lin Xuanyi could speak, Zhong Dakou stood up and said, "Slow down, I have something to ask Master Zhu in the future." ”

"Speak."

Zhong Dakou smiled and said, "May I ask if your Excellency has ever moved the merits of the person involved in the literary and political reform?" ”

"No, but ......" Zhu Tianbao originally wanted to say that this was what the previous term should do, and it had nothing to do with him, but Zhong Dakou didn't give him a chance to defend at all, and said loudly: "That's right, the predecessor Fuyi has not removed the meritorious name of the person under him, according to Article 30 of the Qing Dynasty Law, any person with meritorious name can see the official without kneeling, and Article 31 also stipulates that when the meritorious name of the person with meritorious name is not removed, the person shall not be imprisoned, nor shall he be punished, the adult will not know these two articles, right?" ”

"This official ......" Zhu Tianbao just opened his mouth, and Zhong Dakou continued: "The predecessor of the Imperial Mansion Yicao Kan ignored the lives of the people and ignored the laws of the Qing Dynasty, so the adults should not be like this, right?" ”

"Gone to the shackles." Zhu Tianbao had no choice but to give the order.

"Wait." This time it was Liu Dazui who jumped out, Liu Dazui shook the folding fan in his hand and said: "My lord, the suspect innocently beat the court officials in public, and has committed Article 147 of the Great Qing Law, and should be punished with beheading according to the law. ”

"My lord, this statement of Lawyer Liu is a false accusation, and it should not be easily believed, according to Article 158 of the Great Qing Law, the person who planted the false accusation should be punished for the original crime." Zhong Dakou immediately retorted.

……

The people outside the yamen listened happily and applauded continuously, but Zhu Tianbao, who was the chief judge, was dizzy. If these two big mouths are tossed like this again, let alone three days, even if it is three years, this case will not be able to be tried, but the deadline issued by the old man Kangxi is only three days, Zhu Tianbao heard it, and suddenly slapped the shocked wood and said: "Shut up for me!" Taking advantage of the moment when the two big mouths were confused, Zhu Tianbao quickly ordered: "Come here, check the victim's injuries." ”

The two servants led Xu Huaiyi into the back hall to inspect the injury, and after coming out, they announced loudly: "There are two bruises on the chest, which are round, suspected to be caused by boxing, one bruise on the back, in the shape of footprints, one bruise on the thigh, suspected to be an abrasion that rolled after falling to the ground, and a broken nose, which is suspected to be caused by being hit by a heavy object." ”

"Your Excellency." This time, it was Liu Dazui who came out first, and said with a look of righteous indignation: "The party below is the candidate magistrate of Qipin, as an official of the imperial court, but he was innocently beaten and injured, and the adult has to uphold justice." ”

"My lord, please allow me to interrogate the victim below." Zhong shook his fan with a big smile, his face full of lightness.

"That's right." Zhu Tianbao nodded.

"Master Xie." Zhong Dakou arched his hand at Zhu Tianbao, and then walked to Xu Huaiyi's side with a smile on his face and said, "Lord Xu, I would like to ask you to retell the scene at that time. ”

"Okay." Xu Huaiyi said with a look of righteous indignation: "At that time, I was drinking with a few friends in the Moon Tower, and suddenly heard the cry of a woman next door, and I suspected that someone was plotting against him, so he rushed in, and happened to see that the prisoner was about to be rough with a singer, so he rushed forward to stop him, but he was seriously injured by the prisoner. ”

"Tut-tut, what Lord Xu said is really beautiful, Zhong was a little moved, dare to ask Lord Xu when he sent the incident, was there anyone else?"

"Yes, two of my friends have also seen this."

"Oh, and they're in the same box as you?" As soon as Xu Huaiyi's words fell, Zhong Dakou immediately chased after him.

"This ......" Xu Huaiyi hesitated for a moment before continuing: "They entered the box when they heard the cries for help below." ”

"Well, that's good." Zhong Dakou nodded and said, "This means that your friend was not present at the scene of the incident, right?" ”

"My lord, I object, Master Zhong is trying to induce a confession." Seeing that the situation was a little unfavorable, Liu Dazui immediately jumped out.

Before Zhu Tianbao could speak, Zhong Dakou immediately said, "My lord, my words are finished." In addition to the parties, only Lu Ding's students were present, and the confessions of the rest of the people were not credible. ”

Zhu Tianbao nodded and signaled that it was okay. Qin Hao and Guo Pu stood up one after another and described how Xu Huaiyi broke into the box, how he provoked trouble, and how he wrestled by himself.

Seeing that the situation was unfavorable, Liu Dakou jumped out again and said loudly: "My lord, I want to ask the other party's witnesses some questions. ”

"Exactly."

"Master Xie." Liu Dakou shook the folding fan and slowly paced in front of the Luding students, and suddenly turned to face Zhu Tianbao and said: "My lord, these Luding students are all at the scene of the incident, and they want to testify with some credibility, so do you want to ask one of them to testify?" ”

As soon as Liu Dakou said this, there was a sudden uproar in the hall - asking the witnesses of the other party to testify for his side was really unprecedented, and the people who were betting on Liu Dakou to win immediately broke out and scolded......
