The crowd moved for a while, and a few people were squeezed out of it.
These people are not very old and wear school shirts. After they stood still, they couldn't even take a breath. One of the students straightened his clothes and stepped into the lobby.
"Who are you, you dare to disturb the court." Hu county magistrate slapped the hall and shouted.
"The boy is a student of Qingyuan Academy, his surname is Xue, and his name is Tingxiang. He came here to answer the lawsuit on behalf of his teacher, and I hope Lord Xianzun will forgive him for being reckless. The boy also came from dozens of miles away. Deliberately disturbing the court." Xue Tingyan said as he bowed.
"What are you doing here, don't retreat quickly, this court is not for a hairy boy like you." Lin Miao said with complicated eyes.
Xue Tingxiang smiled slightly and said, "The teacher said that day that he wanted to accept me as a disciple. Although I have never done the ceremony, I still regard the teacher as my own teacher. When the teacher is in trouble and the classmates are in trouble, how can the disciple be at peace. That day Leaving the academy in a hurry is also a last resort, it’s not that the disciples are greedy for life and fear death, seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages.”
The magistrate Hu frowned and said, "This is above the court. If your teacher and apprentice want to reminisce about the old relationship, you can continue the case after the trial. Lin Miao, this official cares that you were born as a member of the court and are under the imperial court. , but you have repeatedly obstructed the progress of this case, and this official will not allow you."
Just as Lin Miao was about to explain, Xue Tingxiang took a step forward and said, "I hope the county magistrate can see clearly, it's not the teacher who stopped the county government from handling the case, but the kid who broke in rashly. It has nothing to do with the teacher."
It's a bit inappropriate to say this. In front of the public, to say that the county magistrate Hu cares about a young man, this is not to say that the magistrate Hu has a narrow-mindedness. Naturally, Magistrate Hu couldn't care about it. This young man was considered to have escaped the catastrophe, but he didn't think that the case would not be closed, so he was not afraid of revenge in the heart of the other party
Shen Fu picked up the tea served by the yamen and took a sip. Stop, stop, since he has benefited from others, he can't just accept the benefits and do nothing. If nothing else can help, it's okay to say a couple of good things. Even if the case goes on trial, the other party still won't be able to ask for it, but it's not enough to say that he has nothing to do with it.
"This young man has a heart that loves his teacher, and Master Hu is also tolerant."
Hearing this, the county magistrate immediately changed his color and said with a smile: "What the third son said, even the parents and officials in charge of a county in this county can't care about a teenager. Anyone who has never been young has done reckless things. , you don't want to commit it again, the court has the rules of the court."
He expected that Xue Tingxiang would borrow the donkey to go down the slope. Who knew that after Xue Tingxiang saluted and thanked him, he added: "There is a reason for this kid's trespassing in the court. The kid is here to take the case on behalf of the teacher. The teacher, who is famous and famous, can't stand trial in court. The kid is very weak, but it is still no problem to act on behalf of the teacher."
"you?"
Xue Tingyuan said respectfully: "If the boy remembers correctly, according to the Dachang law, anyone who has a reputation for fame, if there is a dispute, he does not need to go to court, and someone close to him will replace him. And Dachang law, when he is fourteen, he can apply for it. Litigation, the boy is fourteen now."
The words in Hu County Magistrate's throat were blocked, he snorted softly, and said, "I didn't expect you to know this."
Xue Tingxiang smiled shyly, another salute.
At this time, Shen Fu became interested and found this young man quite interesting. He said he was timid, but he did not seem to be timid, but he was daring, and he did not overstep anything. Afraid of being caught by the pigtails.
It was not until the Magistrate Hu nodded in agreement, the trial continued, and the yamen asked him to kneel and speak, that Shen Fu understood what he meant. I heard that Xue Tingxiang over there is justified and it is said that he is acting on behalf of his teacher, and he is the teacher.
This kid, chicken thief, has made so many troubles together, but he doesn't want to kneel down on the county magistrate.
Shen Fu couldn't help showing a smile, the county magistrate over there was choking on his throat, but in the end he was worried about the public, and Shen Fu was sitting next to him, and he didn't have an attack.
The trial continued again, and the clerk read out the plaintiff's complaint in public.
It can be seen that the lawyer surnamed Zhu is quite clever, with blood and tears, and every word to punish the heart. The people on the outside of the hall are filled with righteous indignation, and even the magistrate Hu can't help showing a moving color.
Generally speaking, the strength of a lawyer can be seen from the complaint he writes. Nowadays, it is not necessary for lawyers to appear in court every time they receive a lawsuit. First, there are very few lawsuits that require the use of lawyers to appear, and secondly, ordinary people cannot afford that big price.
Complaints account for 70% of the winning or losing of a lawsuit, and most officials look at the complaint first when deciding cases. Whether the complaint is written well or not can win the favor or dislike of the trial officials to a certain extent.
Of course, this is also related to the fact that the Mandarin is not popular nowadays. The so-called ten-li different pronunciation, many common people do not speak Mandarin, and according to the Dachang Law, the local parents and officials are generally not people of their origin. If speaking with a foreigner in the local language, if it is all oral, I am afraid that the county official will not have to do anything on weekdays, and will only try these trivial cases.
"It's really miserable! Mr. Xianzun must be the master of the dead child!"
"I can't see that these scholars seem to be gentle and polite, but they are such ruthless and sinister people."
"It's too ruthless!"
Mao Ba was too angry and wanted to argue with the people behind him, but was hugged tightly by Li Datian.
"Okay, be quiet, be quiet, where are you going?"
In the crowd, Zhao'er squeezed his palms nervously and looked at the emaciated young man standing above the court.
The plaque above the court is so big, and the county magistrate sitting high behind the case is so majestic, can a dog do it? Ok
No, the dog will do it, she should trust him.
It was not Xue Tingyan's turn to speak at all. After the indictment was read out, the magistrate Hu called witnesses.
This witness was naturally a few students who accompanied Sun He that day. They still had injuries on their faces. Although several days had passed, they could still be seen if they looked closely.
These people testified one by one that Sun He was indeed injured on the same day, and the location of the injury was in the abdomen.
After going back at that time, Sun He said that he had a stomachache, but later he asked him that it was no longer painful. Because I was afraid that my husband knew that they were fighting with Qingyuan students in private, no one dared to ask a doctor. He heard Sun He said that it was no longer painful, so he didn't care about it anymore. Who would have thought that Sun He would vomit in the middle of the night. Blood is dead.
There are a total of five students, all of which are sworn and well-founded.
For a while, the wind direction was like Qinghe Academy, and even Shen Fu couldn't help but sighed in his heart, thinking that this case is almost like this. Maybe the students on the other side didn't have the intention to kill, but they just made a mistake, but there are not a few people in the world who killed people because of their mistakes. It can only be said to be unlucky.
And this unfortunate, is to ruin his life.
As long as there is a lawsuit involving human life, no matter how the case is judged, it is impossible to achieve a career in officialdom, and these students have studied hard for many years, but they just want to get one or two fame, honor their ancestors, and make a name for themselves.
The Qingyuan students involved were all pale, even if they were as calm as Wang Qi, they couldn't help but panic.
"Lord Xianzun, the kid has something to say."
Magistrate Hu looked over and said, "Speak."
"Although there was a dispute that day, the kid never made a move from the beginning to the end, but they had a dispute with each other, and finally they fought."
After hearing what Wang Qi said, several other students also said: "Master County Zun, the kid didn't hit anyone, the kid just tore the other party's clothes."
"It wasn't me who took the first shot, it was Yu Ziyou."
Yu Ziyou stared at these defectors with red eyes: "You—"
The hall was in chaos, Gao Youzhi, who was sitting beside him, couldn't help covering his mouth and nose with his sleeves, but his eyes were looking at Lin Miao, who was beside him with a gray face.
You claim to be a gentleman, what about a gentleman, the students you teach are nothing more than thieves, and it's not a big deal, but your own people are biting your own people.
Lin Miao, Lin Miao, do you still think I'm a villain? !
"Quiet!" With a startled hall, the magistrate Hu shouted, "The courtroom dares to make a fuss. If it wasn't for Nian Er and others who were still young, this official would have let someone beat you on the board as an example."
The hall was silent, even if there was more to say, these students did not dare to say it.
Just at this moment, another voice sounded: "Lord Xianzun, in fact, they are right, they did not beat anyone."
As soon as these words came out, everyone inside and outside the hall couldn't help but look at the person who made the words.
It was Xue Tingxiang, who stood by Zhuo Ran and has not been in a hurry so far.
"Where did you say that?"
Xue Tingxiang didn't answer, but asked: "Lord Xianzun, I dare to ask, did Lord Xianzun order someone to be injured?"
The magistrate Hu was taken aback for a moment, and reprimanded: "It's ridiculous, how could this judge not let him do an injury examination!" Before he could finish his sentence, he suddenly changed his tone: "Well, you are still young, and this judge is not with you. Care. Come here, pass on the work, and then bring the documents that were archived after the inspection of the wound that day."
Not long after, a man who was over sixty years old was passed on.
This is probably not the first time for this person to go to court. He was neither humble nor arrogant and told the results of his injury examination in front of everyone, and presented a paper.
Sun He's death was caused by a severe blow to the internal organs, so that the liver was damaged and died.
This work even explained in detail the process of self-examination. Internal injuries like this are not easy to judge. Just relying on the deceased to vomit blood can not prove the cause of the other party's death. Because of the importance of the matter, and in order to find out the specific cause of death, Zuo Zuo even performed a caesarean section on the deceased.
According to this work, Sun He's liver was cracked, and even his intestines had a hole.
What he described was too vivid and bloody, the people onlookers covered their mouths and noses, and some people who couldn't bear it even retched.
"It's alright, it's alright, you hurry back down." Hu county magistrate waved and rebuked, and the old man retired.
"Do you still have any objections?" Hu county magistrate asked Xue Tingxiang.
Xue Tingxiang blinked, with an innocent look on his face: "The boy has no objection."
These words blocked the county magistrate Hu, and He then specifically called up Zuzuo, and after hearing such disgusting things, are they all useless? Could this kid be playing tricks on purpose
A smile flashed in Shen Fu's eyes, and it seemed that he was really deliberately tricking people. But what does he want to do? Thinking of this, he couldn't help frowning.
Xue Tingxiang looked at Magistrate Hu with a smile, and then bowed respectfully: "Master Xianzun must be thorough in handling the case, so how could he not even examine the injury."
When the magistrate Hu was about to say something, he added another sentence: "It's just that Lord Xianzun's subordinates made a mistake. In fact, this matter has little to do with Lord Xianzun. After all, it's his subordinate's dereliction of duty."
The smile on Huxian Magistrate's face disappeared, and he was in shock, Xue Tingxiang threw another shocking thunder: "Just because some people neglected their duties, a murder case was inexplicably framed on my Qingyuan Academy. , made the middle school students in our library feel uneasy, unwilling to study, and made our library owner exhausted. The dignified students had to take off their uniforms and go to prison together with the innocent students who suffered.
"Although the boy is not talented, he has read books for a few days. He also knows the meaning of this bright mirror hanging high, and the majesty of this court. He also knows how much respect the people have for the county magistrate and even the county government. Today, I dared to pass the court. I just want to seek justice for the whole of my Qingyuan Academy, and I hope Lord Xianzun can find out who this dereliction of duty is, and give me justice in Qingyuan!"
These remarks were eloquent and impassioned, and people couldn't help but feel awe. But at the same time, many people were wondering if this little scholar had developed hysteria, and why did he seek justice from the magistrate Hu. Only Shen Fu had a thoughtful look in his eyes.
There was also Gao Youzhi, whose heart was pounding, when he heard the magistrate Hu ask what he wanted to ask: "What do you mean?"
"The kid doesn't mean anything, he just wants to say that this Sun He is not the other Sun He. The deceased's name is Sun He, but it is not Sun He who fought with the middle school students of our school that day. Since it is not, then Sun He has not been in contact with Qingyuan students. Why did he die in the Qinghe Academy, but was framed on our heads."
After saying this, without waiting for everyone to react, Xue Tingxiang turned to Gao Youzhi and sneered: "Master Gao, you Li Daitao's stubborn plan is so good and wonderful. It made my Qingyuan students unable to speak their sufferings and unable to express their sorrows. Lost teeth can only be swallowed with blood, because we don’t even know if we accidentally killed someone. But the owner of the museum is upright and doesn’t want to collude with the students to make them change their confessions, so they just took the blame for nothing.”
The scene suddenly became chaotic, not only the crowds outside, but also the clerk and the master in the hall looked at each other in dismay.
Only Gao Youzhi changed color, and of course Magistrate Hu, but Magistrate Hu was an official for many years, but he was not a fake, he still forced himself to remain calm and pretended to be puzzled to ask what was going on.
And Xue Tingxiang did not continue to go around in circles, and revealed that he accidentally found out that he knew Sun He's grandmother and Sun He himself.
But he certainly wouldn't say that he met in a dream, the excuse was that he had a relationship with the grandson and grandson, so he knew that Sun He was called Sun He, not Sun He. Therefore, he was suspicious at the time, but the doubts could not be used as evidence, so he deliberately went to Sun He's house.
After listening to Xue Tingxiang's words, everyone on the field was in an uproar, and Sun He's parents were even more stunned on the spot. It was only after a while that Shen'er slowed down and asked Xue Tingxiang how his son died.
Looking at the honest country couple, Xue Tingxiang had complicated eyes and a choked voice before he said, "I don't know about that, then I have to ask the master of the Gao Pavilion."
At this time, Gao Youzhi's face was like a palette, which was wonderful.
Xue Tingxiang's words suddenly woke him up, stood up and sneered: "If you say it wrong, you are wrong. Who do you think you are? What can you prove in court with your words alone!"
This is a dead duck with a hard mouth. Xue Tingxiang sneered, ignored him, took out a piece of paper from his sleeve and unfolded it.
I saw a lifelike portrait of a person on the piece of paper. If you know Sun He, you will know that this is Sun He. Especially his gloomy temperament, which is vividly drawn, will never admit mistakes.
Xue Tingxiang went to the Sun family and asked them, "Is this your son Sun He?"
The Sun family nodded again and again, and at the same time burst into tears, especially Sun He's mother, who murmured to He'er and slipped to the ground.
Xue Tingxiang took the portrait again and went to the students involved in Qingyuan: "Have you met this person that day?"
Several people shook their heads and said they had never seen it before.
Only then did Xue Tingxiang face the magistrate of Hu County and the people and said, "The Sun He who was present that day was the Sun He of the Sun Family, a wealthy businessman, not the Sun He of the Sun Family Village. If you don't believe me, the county magistrate can now order someone to take the Sun He to the Sun Family. , Presumably the county magistrate must know which Sun family this Sun family is?"
This drama is really twists and turns, ups and downs, and it is breathtaking.
Mingming Hu county magistrate has accompanied Shen Sangong to the retreating hall in the back to rest for a while, and the people surrounding the outside have not left. It is bound to see how this case turns out in the end.
A yamen came to report, and a person named Sun He had already been arrested from the Sun family, so I didn't know if this Sun He was the same as Sun He.
Xue Tingxiang didn't need to look at it to know that it was definitely true. It was impossible for the magistrate Hu to try to protect the son of a wealthy businessman because he was a good official.
Xue Tingxiang is too aware of the routines of these officials. It is commonplace to leave a soldier to protect a car.
Sure enough, after being promoted again, Sun He was brought up, and the students in Qingyuan said that he was there that day.
In fact, it's already obvious that things have come to this stage. There must be some people who are doing something wrong to make such a thing happen.
The person who made the ghost need not say it clearly, Gao Youzhi was the first offender.
As for how Sun He himself died, why did Gao Youzhi go to great lengths to deliberately confuse the two students, and deliberately frame Sun He's death to Qingyuan Academy. This is also the main purpose of Shen Fu staying here and continuing to watch. Of course, there are also the people outside.
Gao Youzhi turned pale, and finally revealed his purpose.
It turned out that he had an old grudge with Lin Miao, the owner of the Qingyuan Museum, and he deliberately framed it in order to harm Lin Miao. As for Sun He's death, it was an accident. Sun He died suddenly because of an old disease. And he bribed the county yamen's yamen and servants to make a fake.
Things seem to be explained, and everything was made by Gao Youzhi. Not only the people in Qingyuan showed anger, but even the ordinary people outside also scolded them.
In the hearts of the common people, scholars, especially those who are teachers, should first have a good character. If the moral character of the teacher is not enough, how to teach students. Even the children of some of these people are still sent to Qinghe Academy to study, and they spend a lot of money, because Qinghe Academy is the best school in Huyang Township.
"This matter doesn't make sense. If it's just for revenge, why must Sun He be named Sun He? Is it just because the two names have the same rhyme?" Shen Fu said suddenly.
The hall immediately fell silent.
Gao Youzhi's pupils clenched for a while, Xue Tingxiang sighed secretly, and finally he couldn't hide it.
He spent so much time trying to hide some of these things, but he didn't expect that it was Shen Fu, the most important person in the hall, who raised the objection.
Stop it, some people deserve to be punished!
