Chapter 2074: The People Petition
For the old Taoist priest, although Lin Haoming didn't take it to heart, he couldn't help but take precautions, in addition to telling Yu'er not to leave the mansion, he also asked people to monitor the situation of the Taoist temple and investigate the situation of the Taoist temple. Fortunately, Yu'er was extremely obedient, and after Lin Haoming gave her orders, she continued to retreat in the mansion, and Shu Siyue also kept an eye on it, and discussed it with Qi Niang, even if Yu'er wanted to go out, the two of them had to have someone to accompany them.
Under such circumstances, there is no problem on Yu'er's side, and Yu Yanqing's case is beginning to become more and more eye-catching.
The tripartite joint trial, although Fang Ruhai presided over the trial, but Yu Yanqing denied all the charges throughout the whole process, and from beginning to end was an attitude of not admitting guilt, which made Fang Ruhai a little annoyed.
Of course, if it was just Yu Yanqing's attitude, it would not be a big deal, because during the whole process, the evidence and witnesses presented were enough to convict Yu Yanqing, although the crime was not very serious.
But things are not so simple, this day happened to be the trial of the misappropriation of money and military quarters, this matter is actually very clear, it is indeed the emergency of the situation, and the military did not agree, so this is the first use of military supplies, and then make up.
The matter is clear, but it also has to go through the motions, and it also appears that the person who is trying the case is impartial rather than self-interested.
Lin Haoming and Zhou Mengli came earlier as jurors, and because of the trial of this case, they are already familiar with Fang Ruhai and others, although the positions of the representatives are different, but on the surface, the two sides are still quite polite, not to mention that there is Zhou Mengli as an intermediary in the middle.
In the lobby, the first few people to talk about the recent interesting things in the city, after all, they are not life and death enemies with each other, and it is naturally the most appropriate to get together and talk about such things.
Whether it is the chief judge, jury or witness, except for Song Ting, they are all here, but after all, Song Ting is a person who knows the right and can count the characters in the entire Earth Damage City on one hand, and it is also appropriate to wait for a while.
But who would have thought that while everyone was chatting, there was a shouting outside, as if many people had gathered outside the General Judgment Mansion.
Fang Ruhai asked people to go to see what was going on immediately, and after a while, a government official ran back and reported to everyone: "My lord, I don't know why a large number of people have gathered outside the palace, and these people don't look like they are in the city, they seem to be from outside.
"From the county seat below, could it be that the accumulated grievances in the county below have erupted!" Fang Ruhai heard it and subconsciously muttered, after all, this kind of thing had happened before.
"What? It's not that the more than 100 counties under the Thief City are quite peaceful, how could such a thing happen?" Zhou Mengli excused.
"It's hard to say this, after all, now that the new city lord has taken office, it is not possible if someone below wants to react to the grievance!" Fang Ruhai guessed, but he thought that if this was the case, I am afraid it would be a complete shock to the Xiao family.
"How many people do you find to ask, what are they for, and what ......" Just when Fang Ruhai ordered the people below to do something, suddenly a uniform shout came to mind outside. "Lord Yu saved hundreds of millions of people in the three counties, corrupt officials and corrupt officials, selfish interests, and framed loyal and good ......"
The shouts kept sounding over and over again, which made everyone present look at each other, especially Fang Ruhai, who was thinking about using this matter just now, who would have thought that it would become a trouble in a blink of an eye, and his eyes also fell on Xiang Xuehai, obviously in his opinion, the sound of trouble outside definitely has a deep relationship with Xiang Xuehai.
"Master Fang, what are you looking at me for?" Xiang Xuehai glared at him directly and asked rhetorically.
"Master Xiang, we don't talk darkly, the people who suddenly gathered outside have nothing to do with you?" Fang Ruhai stared at him and asked.
"It has nothing to do with me, why? Lord Fang thinks that I plan to rescue Lord Yu, so I deliberately gathered the people to petition?" Xiang Xuehai asked rhetorically.
"If you don't have anything to do with Lord Xiang, it's naturally the best!" Although Fang Ruhai said this, he didn't believe it, because in his opinion, these people present, Lin Haoming and Zhou Mengli are newcomers, and they have absolutely no ability to let the people below come here to make trouble, and Song Ting, who has not yet arrived, has been quite neutral so far, only seeking justice and impartiality, and should not deliberately oppose it, only Xiang Xuehai is the most suspicious, and Xiao Ming's daughter and son-in-law are both county orders in the county below, and they are absolutely capable of mobilizing the forces below.
"Lord Fang, Lord Song's carriage is blocked outside and can't enter! And it is surrounded by many people!" At this time, another official ran in and said.
"What?" Fang Ruhai was really annoyed this time, after all, Song Ting was now a key figure, and he and Cui Changting were also trying to win him over.
"Lord Fang, Lord Xiang, why don't I go out and have a look!" Lin Haoming took the initiative.
"I'll go with Lord Lin!" said Ju Yehao, the left superintendent, immediately.
Obviously, this left inspector is worried that Lin Haoming will stand on the other side, after all, since the beginning of the trial, although Lin Haoming has not made any big moves, his position is very clear, and he has completely fallen to Cui Changting, so he naturally needs to work hard to show that he is different from before.
"Okay!" Lin Haoming just smiled and agreed, and then the two strode out together, leaving the rest of the people staring at each other.
When Lin Haoming came out, he found that the people gathered here were really not ordinary, and the square in front of the entire Tongju Mansion was already full of people, there were tens of thousands, and Song Ting was standing in the carriage at this time, shouting loudly, asking everyone not to crowd and make noise.
"These are all people from the three counties, do you believe it, Lord Lin?" Ju Yehao looked at so many people, very annoyed.
"Why don't you believe it?" Lin Haoming asked.
"Although the three counties are not particularly far from the thief city, even if they are to come here as a carriage, the nearest one will take two or three months, and the cost of the road is definitely a lot of money for these people, if no one secretly organizes it, I don't believe it!" Ju Yehao analyzed rationally.
Lin Haoming naturally knew that Ju Yehao was right, so many people did have people secretly organizing, and Lin Haoming, the person who organized the organization, also knew in his heart that it was just in this form, and it had to be done.
At this time, Song Ting had already quieted everyone down with his own voice, looked at the people and asked: "You have come from afar, for the sake of the Lord Yu, your intentions are naturally understood, but even if it is, it can't hinder the normal interrogation, if anyone does this, how can the laws of the heavenly realm go, please go back, the official promises that this case will be handled impartially, and will never deliberately frame the adult!"
"Although we believe in you, Lord Song, we don't believe in the general judgment, unless we are replaced by the presiding judge, we will never agree!" At this moment, a voice sounded from the crowd.
