"Knock knock!"

With the "Dengwen Drum" left in the downtown square was beaten, Lingtao City boiled at once, since the beginning of the pilot political and legal system ten years ago, this "Dengwen Drum" is only as a symbolic cultural relics, no one thought that ten years later today will actually sound.

"Ye Zhifu. ”

"Cheng Juju. ”

At this time, Ye Ruzhi, the prefect of Lingtao City, who was about to go to the people to investigate, impatiently glanced at Cheng Jindao, who was the president of Lingtao City's law, and said: "How many years have the political and legal affairs been separated, and they will return to the old system as soon as the 'drum' sounds?"

"The lower officials don't dare. Cheng Jin wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said: "It's not for 'Dengwen Drum', but this case is special." ”

"How special?

"It was Lin Tiannan's son-in-law, Qian Baimo, who sued the king of Anping County for seducing his wife Lin Youlan. ”

"What!"

......

"Hey, have you heard? The prefect is actually going to go to court to try the case in person!"

"How is it possible, this Lingtao City has not had a prefect in court for many years. ”

"I heard that the little prince seduced another ** son and was discovered, and then sued her husband's family!"

"What!"

"I'll go, this is a big case!"

"Yes, yes, hurry up, otherwise you won't be able to occupy a good position!"

......

When the news spread that Ye Ruzhi was going to go to the court to try the case in person, in less than half an hour, the 100-person auditorium of the new law hall was full of people.

At this time, Ye Ruzhi, who was sitting in the presiding seat of the law hall, was also sitting in the presiding seat of the court for the first time in person, and he also felt awkward, so he readjusted his sitting posture, and then he was shocked and said: "Take the plaintiff Qian Baimo to the court." ”

"My lord, you have to be the master of the villain!" As soon as Qian Baimo was brought into the Dharma Hall by the hall servant, Qian Baimo knelt down and howled.

And Ye Ruzhi, who has not presided over a case in the past seven or eight years, was also confused by this: "You don't need to kneel down to try the new law." By the way, it's the civil prosecutor, so is it necessary to be punished with a rod in the new law?"

Qian Baimo got up and replied. Cheng Jin, who was the deputy judge on the side, saw Ye Ruzhi's hesitation, and guessed that it was estimated that the case had not been tried for too long and some changes in the trial of the new law were tried, so he couldn't grasp the trial process, so he hurriedly said: "Because you sue the official family as a common person, you need to sign a judgment order, if you are sentenced to a false accusation of 30 canes and 50 military fines, if you don't sign the cane on the spot 50 and apologize to the official." ”

"The villain is willing to sign the writ. At this time, Qian Baimo, who had been brought to the plaintiff's platform, saw the court officer hand over a small fold with the name of the case "Zhou Xianglin's Mansion Son-in-law Sues the King of Anping County", so he signed his name according to the instructions of the court officer, pressed his fingerprints and his own private seal, and finally handed it over to the clerk on the side.

"In that case, the official took your petition. Ye Ruzhi, who had already returned to his senses, took out a blank signing order with the word "trial" written on it from the sign holder and handed it to the court officer, and then the hall officer handed the signing order to the following document, and the document wrote the name of the case in the blank space on the signing order, and then stamped his own seal, and then stamped his own seal on the paper submitted by Qian Baimo, and then it was returned to the hall by the hall officer.

After Ye Ruzhi looked at it as usual, after stamping the hall seal, the official seal and his own private seal respectively, he handed over the pleadings to Cheng Jin, and Cheng Jin also looked at it as usual, stamped his official seal and private seal, and finally handed over the document by the hall officer.

"Hmm. After the process was completed, Ye Ruzhi asked Qian Baimo: "Since you sued the king of Anping County for raping your wife, what evidence is there?"

"Lord Ye, this is evidence of Qian Baimo. At this time, the clerk took out a blue-white oil-paper umbrella and handed it to Ye Ruzhi by the hall servant, Ye Ruzhi took it and then opened it to take a look, and immediately frowned slightly, and then handed it to Cheng Jinhou and asked, "What's the matter with this umbrella?"

"Your Excellency. Qian Baimo was busy crying at this time: "It rained suddenly that day, and Xiao ** was embarrassed to send an umbrella to the king of Anping County, but who knew that the king of Anping County was in the name of returning the umbrella, so he made glamorous words in the umbrella to stain the name of Xiao **. ”

"How do you assert that the words in this umbrella were written by the king of Anping?"

"This umbrella was personally returned by the king of Anping County to the small ** in the Netstar Club, and everyone in the Netstar Club saw it with their own eyes. ”

When Lin Zhizhi heard this, he glanced at the document, and when he saw the document, he replied: "My lord, there are many people in the Netstar Society, but I have seen it with my own eyes. ”

"Hmm. Lin Zhizhi looked at Qian Baimo again and said: "Although this word is indecent, it may be a joke, how dare you conclude that it is the king of Anping County who wants to be his wife?"

"My lord, the villain didn't know, but the night before yesterday I saw my wife crying, and I learned that the king of Anping County had a lot of frivolous actions when he was entertaining in the city, and he thought that the king of the county was known as a gentleman and benevolent style, maybe it was just a joke, and because of the dignity of the king of the county, he had to deal with it with his face, but who would have thought that the king of the county would be more and more inches, words and deeds were unbearable, and he used this umbrella to insult his wife's name, and hoped that the lord would be the master of the villain!" Qian Baimo said, and knelt down with another howl.

"The king of Anping County is usually light, can the plaintiff's wife have evidence?" Lin Zhizhi said and looked at the document again.

The clerk stood up again and said: "According to the plaintiff's confession, according to the statements of many students of the Netstar Club and the junior second child of the Lingquan Wine Pavilion, the king of Anping County has many frivolous words and deeds, which is a word signed by everyone. The court servant submitted the evidence to Ye Ruzhi again, and after Ye Ruzhi looked at the handprints and private seals on it, he also stamped the hall seal, official seal and private seal on the evidence, and then handed it to Cheng Jin.

"Lord Ye. After Cheng Jin finished stamping the evidence, he took the umbrella and said to Ye Ruzhi: "Whether this umbrella can be confessed, you still need to invite the king of the county to come to the court to testify." ”

"Hmm. Did the king of Anping ever come to the hall?"

At this time, when the hall official guarding the door heard this, he stepped forward and saluted: "Your Excellency, the king of Anping County has been waiting outside. ”

"Okay, pass on the king of Anping County to the court. ”

"It's my lord. The attendant answered, turned around and walked out of the hall, and a moment later came in with Gong Anmin, who was full of anger, and walked to the dock.

"King of Anping. Ye Ruzhi sat down and bowed to Gong An Min and said, "This umbrella was returned to Lin Youlan, the wife of Qian Baimo?"

"Exactly. ”

"Then you wrote the words on this umbrella yourself?"

"Exactly. ”

Ye Ruzhi saw that Gong Anmin's answer was so refreshing, and after exchanging glances with Cheng Jin, he opened the umbrella and stamped the inscription.

"King of Anping. Ye Ruzhi, who finished stamping the seal, handed the umbrella to Cheng Jin and said: "Why did you write this glamorous word to a married woman, you can know what a bad behavior this is." ”

"Lord Ye, this Wang Yuan didn't have such a profligate act, all because of this. Gong Anmin said and took out a belly pocket in red clothes from his arms and said: "It's all because Miss Lin compares the inscription with this gift, and the villain will return the words in the umbrella." ”

"You, you are talking nonsense!" Looking at the belly pocket in Gong Anmin's hand, Qian Baimo instantly wanted to rush forward like crazy, but was immediately stopped by the hall servant.

"Quiet, if someone dares to roar the public court, the ten rods are heavy!" With Ye Ruzhi's startled sound, Qian Baimo slowly regained his composure; "Come, present the evidence in the hands of the county king." ”

"It's my lord. The hall servant beside Gong Anmin responded, took the belly pocket in Gong Anmin's hand and handed it to Ye Ruzhi.

Ye Ruzhi opened it and saw that it was a mandarin duck belly pocket, then looked at a poem and Lin Youlan's name embroidered next to it, frowned slightly, and then handed the belly pocket to Cheng Jin and asked, "King of the county, how do you prove that this belly pocket was given by Lin Youlan?"

"It's Miss Lin's personal maid Cui'er, and after I finished practicing with Miss Lin that day, Cui'er invited this king to the rest room of the club, and then gave this belly pocket to this king. ”

"Oh, Lin Youlan and Cui'er are outside the hall. ”

Lin Youlan and Cui'er were waiting outside the hall for the adults to ask. ”

"Well, let them in. ”

"It's my lord. The gatekeeper departed again, and a moment later brought the two men to the witness stand, who were covered with scarves.

"The folk girl Lin Youlan greets the adult. ”

"Slave Cui'er greets your lord. ”

"Hmm. Ye Ruzhi took it back into his belly pocket this time and said, "Mrs. Qian, this thing is you." ”

"It's just the people's daughter. Although Lin Youlan's face was covered at this time, she still heard the shyness from her soft words.

"That's what you ordered Cui'er to give to the King of Anping?"

"No, no, that's what I saw and saw in "Linglong Embroidery Workshop", I wanted to wear it and Yu Fujun'......" Although Lin Youlan's words were so whispered that they couldn't hear it clearly, everyone still understood the meaning from the shy words.

"Yes. At this time, Cui'er on the side suddenly interjected: "Mrs. Chen, the master of "Linglong Embroidery Workshop", can testify about this, if you don't believe it, Mrs. Chen is outside now." ”

"Oh. When Ye Ruzhi heard this, he raised his eyebrows and suddenly understood something, so he said playfully: "Since this is the case, then invite Mrs. Chen in." ”

"It's my lord. After a while, the janitor walked to the witness stand with a young woman in her twenties.

"The folk girl Chen greets the adult. ”

"Hmm. This item was purchased by Lin Youlan in your store?"

"Exactly. ”

"If that is the case, why embroider such an indecent word on this object?"

"My lord, Mrs. Qian's boredom in the store that day, the people's daughter inquired and learned that the young lady did not know the interest of the boudoir, so she recommended this thing to hope that Mrs. Qian and the young man could become a boudoir fish and water. ”

"Oh, that's right. Ye Ruzhi looked at Cui'er with a knowing expression on his face at this time and asked, "Cui'er, this thing is the private property between your young lady and your son, why did you give it to the king of Anping County to trap the unrighteousness of the family master?"

"My lord is wronged!" Cui'er suddenly knelt down and shouted: "That day, the slave and maid looked for the little prince to go to the lounge, because she wanted to make it clear to the little prince not to harass the young lady, and at the same time there was a letter of persuasion from the young lady, but who knew that the slave and the maid were in a hurry as soon as they were nervous, and when they went to relieve themselves, the little prince actually sneaked into the women's lounge and stole the lady's belly pocket. ”

"Oh. As soon as these words came out, the audience was in an uproar.

"You!" Gong Anmin didn't expect Cui'er to say this, and suddenly she could no longer suppress the fighting spirit of the three realms of anger and cultivation, and all of them broke out in an instant; "Slut, this king has destroyed you!"

"King of Anping. But before Gong Anmin made a move, his left hand was seized by a servant, and the fighting spirit that burst out instantly disappeared; "This is the Fatang, the police are the king of the county, and I won't pursue it this time, if you commit it again, don't blame the villain for being rude." ”

At this time, Gong Anmin only felt that the fighting qi in his body was as if it was suppressed and could not be used, and he couldn't help but look at the inconspicuous hall servant next to him with a look of horror.

"Cui'er. And Ye Ruzhi continued to ask as if he hadn't seen everything just now: "This is just your one-sided statement, what evidence is there?" ”

"Well, Miss Ye can testify about this. ”

"Miss Ye, Ye Zhaoting!" Ye Ruzhi's face couldn't help but be shocked when he heard this.

"It's Miss Ye Zhaoting, and the letter of persuasion was given by Miss Ye. If the adults don't believe it, Miss Ye is also outside the hall. ”

"Oh, Ting'er is here too. Ye Ruzhi, who had regained his composure, stroked his little beard with a chuckle, and looked at Gong Anmin, who was still stunned in place, with playful and pitiful eyes, and then said, "Since you are here, then pass Zhaoting in." ”

"It's my lord. After a while, Ye Zhaoting also walked to the witness table with a veil.

"The official daughter Ye Zhaoting visited the adult. ”

"Ye Zhaoting, just tell me what you know. ”

"It's my lord. Ye Zhaoting bowed and said: "Because Sister Lin has been suffering for many days and is disturbed by the king of Anping County, but she does not dare to offend because of the throne of the county, I asked the official daughter to have any way to resolve it; Alas, I just didn't expect the county king, who is usually a dignified gentleman, to have such an act of stealing incense and jade. ”

In a word, the audience was in an uproar again.

"Quiet, quiet!" As Ye Ruzhi retook a few shocking trees, the Fatang slowly regained its quietness; at this time, Ye Ruzhi and Cheng Jin whispered a few words before they said again: "According to the confessions of a group of witnesses, this thing will not be used as evidence, and it will be returned to the witnesses on the spot." Ye Ruzhi said and handed over the belly pocket to the hall officer.

"Thank you, sir. Lin Youlan said shyly and took the belly pocket handed by the hall officer, then hurriedly turned around and stuffed it into his sleeve.

"Well, paperwork, witness testimony can be remembered. ”

"Yes, sir. ”

"Okay, let's give the witness a signature. ”

"It's my lord. The clerk got up and handed it to the hall servant after printing the fold that recorded everyone's confessions, and the hall servant printed the fold with one hand and the other hand to Lin Youlan and others, and asked everyone to print their own names with their handprints or private seals, and finally handed them over to Ye Ruzhi.

After the stamping process is completed, the hall officer puts the stamped signature, pleadings, oil-paper umbrellas, and the confessions of witnesses in front of Ziye Ruzhi.

"According to the current evidence, this official has convicted the king of Anping County for the crime of adultery for plotting against the Qian's family. As he spoke, he picked up the red pen and ticked the word "trial" on the signing order, and then the hall official stepped forward and took a few rolls to put all the evidence and evidence into it.

"According to the law of the Xiaoyang Empire: those who plot to rape him will be punished with Mo Pi and sentenced to five years of hard labor. Ye Ruzhi said and flipped over the back of the signing order and said: "But the king of Nianjun is young and this case has not been sentenced, so he was sentenced to wear a face flail for ten days, and the fine of silver and hardware is the capital of the Department of Rites and Education, what do you think of Cheng Justice?"

"Lord Ye's judgment is extremely true. ”

"Well, that's all this is true. After Ye Ruzhi finished speaking, he wrote on the back of the order that it would be flailed for ten days and the hardware would be confiscated......
