Chapter XXXVIII: Trial of Cases, Witnesses

This one came out.

There was a moment of silence in the courtroom.

The Sun family's steward's face also darkened a little.

However, the people watching at the door are mostly ordinary families, even poor families, and there are many hatreds for rich and noble families such as the Sun family, and there are many discussions at the moment, which are quite lively.

This is still under the rule of Luoyue County, and the law and discipline are strict, so that no one will make a coax and mess up the order.

"Oh?"

Fang Qing glanced at his master, only to feel that things had taken a turn for the better.

Even if you are deceived, even if you are drunk, and you don't see the contract clearly, you can only recognize it.

But there are exceptions, such as kinetic strength.

If someone forces someone to sign their name, such an act is tantamount to blocking the road and robbing them.

The laws of the Great Zhou Dynasty are perfect, as long as this can be confirmed, Su Ting may not be unable to win.

However, before Fang Qing could speak, he saw the Sun family steward take a step forward and said, "My lord, my Sun family's actions have always been reasonable and legal, and they have never violated the laws of the Great Zhou. This matter is the same, but on the wine table, in black and white, he traded with Su Ting with silver taels in exchange for his name, and there was no illegal act. ”

Fang Qing glanced at Su Ting.

Su Ting's expression was calm and did not instruct.

Fang Qing groaned, and then asked, "Do you have any evidence?"

The steward of the Sun family was in his heart, he saw the county magistrate and the Su family kid glancing at each other, and listening to the words of the county magistrate, his heart sank.

It stands to reason that Lord Fang should have asked Su Ting what evidence he had to prove that the Sun family was strong.

But at this time, Lord Fang asked, but he turned around and asked him if the Sun family had any evidence that he had not moved.

The words are different, and the meaning of this sentence is naturally different.

The steward of the Sun family couldn't imagine that a young man like Su Ting could be regarded more seriously than the Sun family by Fang Qing, the county commander, but although he was a little shocked in his heart, he was also calm and did not lose his temper.

Hearing Fang Qing's question, the steward of the Sun family took a deep breath and arched his hand: "Lord Hui, this matter has a human witness, and it is a person from an official family, not an idle person, etc., his words must be credible." ”

Fang Qingyu's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and he glanced at the master, and he saw the meaning in the other party's eyes.

This is in the yamen, which one was on an errand and was bought by the Sun family?

In any case, after all, the Sun family found a witness, and a situation like this is a little complicated.

Is it difficult to find the evidence of the errand and being bought?

The court of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the county government in various places, there are countless cases, people like Fang Qing, people like the master, and they have also seen countless cases, some of which have rich and noble families, who use money to buy some idle people, etc., and pretend to be witnesses.

And this kind of matter, when placed in other places, becomes very complicated, and it is often the officials who accept bribes and close the case in a hurry.

Fang Qing's thoughts were chaotic, and he glanced at Su Ting, only to feel that this young man's expression was relaxed, and he was smiling.

Seeing this, Fang Qing took a deep breath and settled in his heart, since Su Ting was so relaxed, there was no reason for him to be so distressed.

Since Su Ting did not instruct it, it was tried according to the usual case.

"Where's the witness?"

"Your Excellency. ”

The housekeeper of the Sun family said in a low voice: "The witness is Yuan Zhutou." ”

Fang Qing frowned and said, "Yuan Jue?"

The master was stunned for a moment.

Everyone caught fast and looked at each other.

The people who were watching outside gradually listened to the discussion and were a little stunned.

"It's weird. Su Ting was quite puzzled, approached his cousin's side, and the fragrant fragrance made him quiet for a while, and then asked, "Sister, who is Yuan Zhutou? Why is everyone a little weird when they hear it?"

"Yuan head catcher......" Su Yuefeng looked solemn and said softly: "This is the most iron-faced and selfless head catcher in Luoyue County, who is honest and has always been cold-faced. ”

"I see. Su Ting was a little stunned, no wonder everyone was so weird, it turned out to be a guy who obviously wouldn't be bought.

This made Lord Fang Qing above a little stunned, he never thought that the Sun family's human identity was actually Yuan Qi.

Who Yuan Qi is, Fang Qing knows it.

If it is said that one day, the officialdom is complicated, and Fang Qing will take bribes, and it is impossible for Yuan Qi to accept bribes.

Since Yuan Zhutou saw it with his own eyes, then this matter is not false?

Fang Qing glanced at the master, only to see that the master was full of sadness, shook his head, he was helpless in his heart, and looked at Su Ting again.

Su Ting didn't have the slightest dignified look, his expression was relaxed, and he nodded slightly.

Fang Qing took a deep breath and said, "Where is Yuan Zhutou?"

A catcher quickly responded: "Yuan Zhutou went to handle the case last night and just went home." ”

Fang Qing said, "Go and call him." ”

The catcher was about to answer, and was about to leave, when he heard the housekeeper of the Sun family laugh and said: "My lord, no need, the villain has already called someone, and he will wait at Yuan Zhutou's house, just wait for Yuan Zhutou to wash up, and he will come." Look at the time, coming from Yuan Zhutou's house, it's almost over. ”

"Then wait a minute. ”

Fang Qing said this.

On Su Ting's side, it was still bland, as if it was none of his business.

This made Master Fang and Master Fang, who were so distressed and headaches, speechless in their hearts.

As for Su Yuefeng, since she heard that Yuan Zhutou was a witness, her heart also sank, knowing that the contract was mostly true, Xiao Ting was only afraid that she was comforting her.

She looked anxious, her face was pale, and her body, which had not yet healed, looked even weaker.

She approached Su Ting's side and said in a low voice, "Xiao Ting, didn't you really sign that contract?"

Su Ting took her hand, patted it gently, and said softly, "How could I lie to you?"

With just one sentence, Su Yuefeng felt that her heart was completely quiet, and her worried and worried heart couldn't make any waves.

"Let's wait to watch the play, our store must be taken back. ”

Su Ting whispered, a smile on the corner of his mouth.

However, at this moment, the voices outside were a little chaotic, and the people's discussion stopped abruptly and divided into a path.

A lean middle-aged man walked in from the outside.

This person's expression is indifferent, his blood is strong, and he looks very strong, looking at his steady steps and waving his hands, it can be seen that his martial arts are good.

Su Ting glanced at it and knew that this was the person who witnessed Yuan catching the head.

And that Yuan Zhutou also looked over, his eyes were cold, and he was even more full of disgust.

Su Ting frowned, but he couldn't remember where he had offended this person, but this thought was thrown away in an instant, he touched his cheek, and said secretly in his heart: "If you are not envied, you are mediocre, outstanding as me, handsome as me, there will always be jealousy." ”

When Su Ting found the reason why Yuan Jue didn't like him, Yuan Jue had already walked to the front, gave a salute, and said to the lord.

"Yuan catches the head. ”

Fang Qing said: "The Sun family and the Su family are entangled in a contract, according to what the Sun family said, you saw Su Ting at the wine table that day, signed the contract, and got the silver taels of the Sun family, but is it true?"

Yuan Jue frowned slightly, and then shook his head.

The face of the Sun family steward changed greatly.

Everyone was stunned.

Whether it was Fang Qinghe and Master, or the people outside, they were all a little surprised.

Only Su Yuefeng breathed a sigh of relief.

Su Ting felt inexplicable.

The person invited by the Sun family, why is it a little uncooperative?

However, at this moment, I only heard Yuan Qi say: "It's not the Sun family, but the deceased son of the Wang family." ”
