Volume 1 The Newlyweds Chapter 28 Three Trials
In public, they embraced each other with tears in their eyes.
Wang Qinqin hugged Xue Junyou for a long time before letting go. She and her brother had always regarded Brother Xue as a relative. But they never expected that Brother Xue would go to such an extent for her brother and sister.
"Brother Xue, I heard that you were seriously injured and went to avenge us... Are you okay?" Wang Qinqin had tears in his eyes, and his eyes were red.
Not far away, Luo Junyue also had beautiful red eyes.
"It's okay." Xue Junyou didn't notice the quiet change in the atmosphere at all, so he raised his hand and touched Wang Qinqin's head as usual: "Why did you come here? Is everything okay with Yanhui?"
Wang Qinqin seemed to like being touched on the head, and said with a smile: "Brother has a boss there, and I can't enter the prison, so I have to wait here to see Brother Xue with my own eyes."
"My boss?" Xue Junyou asked with a puzzled look on his face.
"Yes. It's the old gentleman from that medical clinic. Seeing that my life was poor and my brother was injured, he hired me to stay in the shop to do odd jobs, which could be considered as supplementing the family income." Wang Qinqin said.
Xue Junyou frowned, sighed and said: "Oh, that's fine. After all, with your brother's character, if I give you money, I would rather die to get it back."
"Haha, we can't keep receiving Brother Xue's kindness in vain. Also, for the advance medical money, my brother asked me to thank you and promised to pay it back."
"Look, I just finished what I said. That's all! I understand your two personalities, but I'll take your time, I'm not in a hurry."
"Um!"
Outside Dali Temple, after a short conversation, Xue Junyou followed the people from Dali Temple and walked in.
Wang Qinqin stood there, watching him quietly.
Suddenly, a chill suddenly rose from behind me. When I looked back, I saw a noble lady looking at me seven or eight steps away. Although she was extremely beautiful, at this moment, she was looking at me with a pair of affectionate red phoenix eyes.
Staring at himself fiercely.
Wang Qinqin lowered his head and looked at his linen clothes. Maybe they were shabby and dirty the eyes of the nobleman, so he immediately left in despair.
"So you are here, princess... ...princess?"
Luo Junyue, who felt unhappy, was still staring at the woman, and didn't even notice that Yun Ni, who was returning to the carriage to get the fox fur, had returned.
Luo Junyue didn't react until the warm fox fur was tied around her neck.
The fluffy fox down is wrapped around the neck. Although it is quite warm, the heart is cold.
She still tilted her head and looked at the woman who had already blended into the crowd. She pointed at the woman from a distance and told Yun Ni: "Yun Ni, ask Lord Nalan to help check that woman."
Yun Ni followed the soft catkin-like hands and recognized Wang Qinqin at a glance, and replied without knowing what she meant: "That's Qinqin, the prince-consort's little sister. Why did the princess want to check on her?"
"It turns out to be a little sister." Luo Junyue breathed a sigh of relief and said casually: "Xue Qinqin? How come I didn't know there was a little sister in the Xue family on my wedding day."
"My name is Wang Qinqin, but my surname is Xue." Yun Ni smiled heartily and said, "The consort killed the bully just for the two brothers and sisters!"
Like a sudden ups and downs, Luo Junyue felt cold again: "Didn't you say that the prince-in-law was beaten to death in order to avenge his friend? Why is there an extra sister?"
"It's always been the case. It all started because the bully wanted to seize the little girl." Yun Ni said.
Hearing this, Luo Junyue seemed to have drank a jar of vinegar, snorted softly, turned around and left.
Seeing that the princess's unruly temper was rising again, Yun Ni was a little overwhelmed and followed her into Dali Temple.
... ... ...
Xue Junyou entered the prison of Dali Temple and was put in heavy shackles and shackles in order to conceal his identity.
About an hour later, someone came for interrogation, and Xue Junyou was escorted to the inner courtyard again. Looking at the old people already crowded in the inner courtyard, he realized why he was shackled only after entering Dali Temple.
The group of common people outside the street are all based on love. Naturally, they cannot see the court treating a hero who killed a bully in the street. As for the old people in the inner courtyard, they are all well-known local people. Naturally, they have never seen the suffering of the people.
In their eyes, they only see murderers.
Soon, Xue Junyou was brought to the court. Before the three adults presiding over the trial arrived, a lawyer quietly walked up to him, met him face to face and said: "The villain's name is Jing Huan.
He is the lawyer invited by the princess, and he came here to inform the prince-in-law that he will be in court later, and also asks the prince-son-in-law to pretend to be seriously ill and terminally ill."
When Xue Junyou heard this, he immediately understood that the ancients also played the trick of seeking medical treatment for someone, and he was very familiar with this. So the man who rushed over nodded.
Anyway, the people he beat to death were all bullies, so being exonerated like this didn't mean he had anything to feel sorry for.
After a while, as "the princess has arrived" and a burst of shouting, Anyang and the three presiding judges came in from the back hall one after another.
Anyang sat down in the hall to assess the case, and the three adults stood in the hall in turn.
Except for the old man with a jade face and white beard in the middle who did not salute Anyang, the other two adults did not take their seats until the other two adults saluted Anyang.
"quiet!"
With a shout, the rustling sounds in the court and the inner courtyard suddenly stopped. The master who made the shout stood up, took out a piece of rice paper and read aloud:
"In the 20th year of Yong'an, His Majesty's imperial edict was written by the Great Entropy Wen Qihou, the Great Entropy Prime Minister Lin Yi, the Minister of Dali Temple Li Lingtong, and the Minister of Punishment Zhao Yu presided over the case of nine princes committing murder in the street. Also! Princess Anyang is specially allowed to accompany her.
Jury.”
After the announcement, the master returned to his seat and took notes.
High above the court, Prime Minister Lin looked a little old-fashioned. He glanced at Li Lingtong with half-squinted eyes and said, "Master of Dali Temple, this is your territory. I don't want to overwhelm you, so you should do it."
Li Lingtong knew that Prime Minister Lin was trying to avoid suspicion, so he lowered his head to accept the order, looked down the hall, and then slapped the wood of the hall, but not hard.
"Here comes someone! I want to file a lawsuit." Li Lingtong said slowly.
The Prime Minister is here. For this case, he has notified the entire Dali Temple a few days ago. As for all the superficial skills like today, I can't remember how many times I have rehearsed it in advance.
Just like the drill, the discerning Dali Temple official took a step forward, opened the lawsuit and read in a loud voice:
"In the 20th year of Yong'an, the whole story of the case of nine princes committing murder on the street.
Ma Jiu, a bully in Xuanyang City, met Wang Yanhui, a scholar in the west of the city, and saw that his sister was beautiful and wanted to take her as his concubine.
The Wang brothers and sisters refused to obey and came to force them, so they took the Wang brothers and sisters to an alley and beat Wang Yanhui seriously. When they were about to force the Wangs into Ma Mansion, they met the Nine Prince Consort who was passing by the alley. The Nine Prince Consort met his friend.
The family was bullied, and in a moment of panic, they accidentally killed the leading rogue that day.
On that day, Wang Yanhui was about to die, and Jiu's son-in-law seemed to have lost control of his emotions. He came to find Ma Jiu to reason with him. Ma Jiu slandered him and loudly said: A pair of untouchables, kill them if you want to, and let them play if they want to...
..After saying that, the people outside the store saw veins popping up on Jiu Prince Consort’s forehead. He put his hands together into a fist and knocked Ma Jiu down to the ground. After a few breaths, Ma Jiu lost his breath.”
After the official finished reading, he bowed to all the adults in the hall, and then stood back.
Li Lingtong looked at the litigator beside the Nine Prince Consort and asked aloud: "I am guilty of a crime, and the lawsuit accuses me of pleading guilty?"
Jing Huan is a well-known litigator in the Entropy Kingdom. His writing style is sharp and his rhetoric is skillful. In ordinary cases, he can turn the tide and settle the case with just a few pens on a piece of paper, and the price of one word is even one hundred taels of silver.
After Jing Huan and Xue Junyou took a closer look at the lawsuit, they whispered to each other for a few words.
Jing Huan took a step forward and said: "Your Excellency! The student confirmed with Jiu Consort that the first half of the lawsuit was indeed true, but in the second half, Ma Jiu was knocked to the ground and died after a few breaths.
It is not true. This sentence involves a serious crime of murder, and we cannot accept it casually."
Li Lingtong glanced at the litigant and asked in surprise: "Oh? This is the unified confession of more than a dozen witnesses who gathered outside the Yuxian Building that day. Can it be false?"
"Sir, as far as the students know, no one entered the building that day, and what everyone saw and heard only started from Ma Jiu's roar in the building. No one can see the whole process." Jing Huan
He looked at the superior man with a calm expression and replied: "The student boldly believes that Ma Jiu died because of the Nine Prince Consort, but he did not die at the hands of the Prince Consort!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the inner courtyard screamed. Even Xue Junyou looked at the big brother in confusion.
Good guy, the corpse has been autopsied, and the horse's internal organs were all broken, and his ribs were all broken, but he could still say that he did not die by his hands.
Such sophistry is too blatant... It would be better to simply admit it, ask Anyang to vouch for him, and then go out for medical treatment.
"Quiet!" Li Lingtong slapped the wood in the hall, which could be heard throughout the court. He was about to speak, but was stopped by Lin Xiang's hand.
Prime Minister Lin straightened his clothes, looked at the so-called litigator in the hall, frowned slightly with his bushy eyebrows and said: "In court, everything is about laws and regulations and looking at physical evidence. Such sophistry is of no use."
Jing Huanchong bowed to the majestic nobleman, took out a few pieces of rice paper from his sleeves and presented them to him. Before he could explain his meaning, he asked: "Excuse me, my lord, the Nine Prince Consort was in Yuxian Tower that day, but something happened with everyone."
conflict?"
"That's right." Li Lingtong frowned and replied, the rice paper on the other side was already presented to Prime Minister Lin.
Jing Huan asked again: "Apart from Ma Jiu, whoever had a conflict with the consort that day also had serious injuries or fractures?"
Li Lingtong took a breath and realized that the other people that day did not even suffer internal injuries, so he said: "No."
Jing Huan nodded: "That proves that the prince-in-law does not have the power to kill people instantly. Besides, there were more than ten people doing it at that time, and the horse's nine-bone injury was most likely caused by a scuffle.
He trampled or pushed Ma Jiu by mistake, causing his ribs to break and his internal organs to be punctured."
"Although no one saw the whole process, but"
"What's more, the physical evidence submitted by the students is the confession of a woman who has been hanging out in Ma Jiu's house in Fireworks and Willow Lane all year round." Before Li Lingtong could say anything, he was stopped by Jing Huan:
"As you all can see, a man's body can withstand the wind and rain if he indulges himself in a gentle land day and night.
Therefore, students believe that Ma Jiu's death was not caused by the Prince Consort's punch, but by someone who pushed him during a scuffle, causing him to fall to fractures. The Prince Consort's punch only made matters worse.
.
Although it is the last straw that breaks the camel's back, there are laws and regulations in the great entropy, and there are human feelings. How can we put all the weight of straw on the body of the Prince Consort?"
"?" A question mark slowly popped up in Xue Junyou's head. Although he had already guessed that the litigator would try to exonerate himself from some culpability, he never expected it.
