"Bring the plaintiff and the defendant to court."
"Mighty~Wu~!"
Following the sound of neat knocks, Zhang Ya, who was in charge of guarding the cobbler Wang, led the cobbler Wang and Mrs Li to the lobby.
slap~
After the two men knelt down in court, Sun Shaozong slapped the jingtang wood on the table and said solemnly, "Miss Li, you just asked the yamen to tell you that you had other ill intentions to report. Why don't you hurry up and get the plots together!"
"I… "
Although Li Shi was alert and made a decision at Wang Tan's house before, but when the wind blew on the road, she felt a little uneasy in her heart, and she always felt that this matter was not so secure.
slap~
Seeing this, Sun Shaozong immediately slapped the gavel again and scolded, "Since you applied for an early promotion, why are you hesitating now?"
Next to him, Zhang Yajian also hurriedly urged: "Master asked you, hurry up and answer!"
Following this, he lowered his voice and reminded: "In front of the master, don't dare to mention 'borrowing a dead body', otherwise if the master passes the child to the court, the old man's eyes are like lightning, and he will stare at it and lose his soul. ?!"
This is obviously for the sake of Mr. Li, but in fact, he is afraid that Mr. Li will reveal the truth.
If he really told the 'truth', Sun Shaozong naturally wanted to find out what he said about 'borrowing the dead' as usual, so how could this play continue
However, Mrs. Li had already heard that this Lord Sun was descended from the stars, the reincarnation of Duke Bao, and the most important thing was that all evils did not invade the gods and retreated. Now, after being reminded by Zhang Yajian, his heart was awe-inspiring, but he forgot the uneasy feeling just now.
So she hurriedly said: "Reporting to the lord, the women were angry before, so they talked nonsense. In fact, the king went to my house honestly that day, not for an affair, but to discuss marriage with the women!"
It's done!
When Sun Shaozong heard the words, he let out a sigh of relief, but he pretended to be suspicious: "Discuss marriage? Do you have evidence for this?"
"Yes, yes!"
The cobbler Wang rushed to the side and said: "At the end of February, the villain asked a matchmaker to come to the door to say kiss. The neighbors all know about this, and the adults only need to send someone to ask!"
"Li Shi and the villain have long been in love with each other, but because of her son's objection, they have been undecided. The villain went to find her that night just to urge her to marry me as soon as possible."
"Who knew that her son suddenly came back, and when she saw me in the room, she couldn't help but jump up and fight."
"The villain didn't fight back because of Li's affection, and only wanted to escape and go home. I thought he was chasing after him, and he fell to his own death!"
After finishing speaking, Wang Tan kowtowed his head to the ground again, and said with tears streaming down his face: "Everything the villain said is true, please make it clear!"
The foundation of this line is really poor, but fortunately, the crying behind is sincere, and I can barely save some points.
Sun Shaozong commented in his heart, leaned forward slightly, and asked in a deep voice: "Mr. Li, what Wang Cai Wang said honestly, is there anything wrong?"
"This… "
Li looked at Wang Honshi hesitantly, and finally nodded and said, "There's nothing wrong with him, he did go to find a woman to discuss marriage that day."
In this sentence, the original 'fornication' was characterized as 'begging for marriage', and the whole case was completely different!
If it was fornication, Li's son's actions would naturally be classified as catching an adulterer; but if he was seeking marriage, Li's son's behavior of chasing and beating the cobbler would lose its legitimacy and even be suspected of violating filial piety.
"As it is."
Sun Shaozong said with an expressionless face, "Master Sun, let the two of them serve as a painting escort."
In the jury's seat next to him, Sun Chengye flashed out immediately, and sent the official document just recorded to the two of them, and then... the three of them stared wide-eyed.
In the end, it was Sun Shaozong who couldn't see clearly, so he reluctantly reminded: "Cinnabar!"
Only then did Sun Chengye rush back to the table to get cinnabar, which made Li and Wang Tan put their handprints on the confession. When the confession was presented to Sun Shaozong, his face was red as if painted cinnabar-like.
This kid really can't adapt to the big scene!
Sun Shaozong was speechless, but at this time it was difficult to tell him what to say, so he waved his hand to signal him to return to the jury bench, and then picked up the gavel and slammed it on the table.
slap~
"What a slut!"
He heard him sneer: "In order to vent one's own anger, how dare to speak slander in front of this official before the court, it is really hateful!"
"Such an act should have been punished severely, but you are also eager to lose your son. This official will only reward you twenty big boards as an example!"
"The king cobbler."
"The little guy is here!"
"Although you did not take the initiative to kill Li's son, you were one of the main incentives. This official punished you for his glorious burial and received forty canes. Are you convinced?"
"Convince, the little man is convinced!"
Originally the lightest exile was 2,000 li, but now he only needs to endure forty slaps, and then mourning for Li's son, why does the leather worker Wang disagree
slap~
Seeing that Mrs. Li was also silent and had no intention of defending, Sun Shaozong slapped the gavel again, and ordered, "Zhao Zhaotou stay behind for the sentence—retire!"
"Mighty~Wu~"
Not to mention how Mr. Li and the cobbler Wang were tortured in the hall.
However, he said that Sun Shaozong led Sun Chengye back to the back hall. Seeing that the nephew's forehead was soaked with a thin layer of sweat, it didn't look like a jury, but it looked like he was being interrogated.
Unconsciously, he laughed and said, "I just let you record it with the hall, and you don't need any effort. Are you supposed to be so nervous?"
Sun Chengye smiled reluctantly, wiped the sweat from his forehead with a handkerchief, and said embarrassingly, "My little nephew doesn't know why this happened. Although I was nervous when I was in Jinling, it's far from being so rude."
Unaccustomed to water and soil, there is such an effect
Seeing him like this, Sun Shaozong couldn't blame anything, so he changed the topic and asked the school: "Do you know what is the most important reason why this case can be reduced to a major event today?"
It was hard for Sun Chengye, after all, since he took office three days ago, he has been in charge of supervising the handling of the case, and the details of it have long been known.
So he immediately bowed his hands sincerely and said, "Naturally, it's up to my uncle to come up with this 'borrowing the dead' plan, so that the king's cobbler's family will not be destroyed."
Unexpectedly, Sun Shaozong shook his head and said, "Think again."
Isn't it right
Sun Chengye was stunned for a moment, and then he asked tentatively: "Isn't it the disguise technique that Xu Yu made? If he didn't do it skillfully and dressed the child like Li's son, I'm afraid it would be difficult..."
Sun Shaozong interjected: "I'm asking about the key to making this case a big deal, not the means we use."
means
The key
Sun Chengye was completely confused, and for a long time he didn't understand what he meant.
"Oh, it's not enough just to be able to read."
Sun Shaozong sighed, and then pointed out the answer: "The key to making this case a big one is that Li's husband is originally a foreigner and has no clan relatives in the capital - otherwise, if another bitter master comes out to complain, we will Isn't this play a slap in the face?"
After he finished speaking, seeing that Sun Chengye was a little confused again, he explained again: "I said something, just to let you know that doing things for an official must be adapted to local conditions, if you get the wrong object in a confused way, the so-called clever trick will be done. self-inflicted humiliation.”
Thanks to book friends 'Ming Yue's father, sun32' for the reward. Well, for some reason, I have to get up early tomorrow, so there are only two chapters today.
