Chapter 729: The Heart of the People
Lin Haoran's gaze fell on the fan, and then he looked up at Huang Yizhen. But I have to admit that Diao Xixi invited this lawyer over, and the money was indeed spent right.
"I was originally a husband of the Pearl River Wharf, but I was born bold and dared to do some illegal things, and I have a little fame in the Nancheng area! was injured and imprisoned last year, and was rescued by Diao Gongzi, but he has always been driven by him to do some illegal things! Zhao Si said honestly, and then looked at Diao Qingsheng lightly and said, "Regarding this, I believe that Diao Gongzi will not deny it, right?" ”
Lin Haoran's face immediately sank, and he asked Diao Qingsheng: "Now that the human and material evidence is there, Diao Gongzi, what else do you have to say?" ”
"My lord, there is no basis for this matter! Zhao Si is not a slave of the Diao family, this kind of person is a greedy person, he said that he was driven by Diao Gongzi, but he may also be instigated by others! Huang Yizhen was in a hurry, and hurriedly stood up to defend himself.
Lin Haoran no longer restrained his edge, his eyes fell on Huang Yizhen, and then he said slowly: "Huang Yizhen, this justice is in the hearts of the people!" Now the facts are clear, you are still so open to this wicked person, you really read the book of the sages in vain, beware that this mansion personally asks the great master to strip you of your reputation! ”
This......
Huang Yizhen's heart suddenly felt a slight chill, this hall is not an ordinary prefect, but Lin Wenkui, who has a prominent background. With his status and prestige, once he really finds the Great Grandmaster, then his fame will really hang.
It is said that "breaking the county order, destroying the door and stabbing history", in front of this famous big man, this small raw skin is actually like paper paste. Once he is stripped of his fame, then his good days are over.
At the thought of this, beads of sweat oozed from his forehead. Even if he has thousands of mouths, even if he helps Diao Qingsheng win the lawsuit, then his reputation will be buried here.
Lin Haoran was shocked by Huang Yizhen, then looked at Diao Gongzi and asked, "You sent Zhao Si and Duofu to forcibly kidnap the Zhang family, can you admit it?" ”
The officials in the hall looked at Diao Qingsheng one after another, although many people knew about this, but whether Diao Qingsheng would admit it in person was another matter. Of course, now that Zhao Si has identified him, it is difficult for him to quibble.
"It was made by Ben Gongzi! Ben Gongzi did ask Zhao Si and Duofu to bring the little lady back, but Ben Gongzi didn't ask him to kill! Diao Gongzi readily admitted, but he shirked it.
As soon as these words came out, the people in the hall suddenly exploded.
It's one thing to speculate, it's another to be confirmed. But he didn't expect that Diao Qingsheng was really so bold and reckless, and it was really he who sent people to forcibly kidnap the Zhang family.
Ay!
Huang Yizhen's paper fan slammed into the center of his eyebrows, and an expression of chagrin appeared on his face.
Idiot!
He Bantou looked at Diao Gongzi, who chose to shirk responsibility, but scolded secretly.
Lin Haoran looked at Zhao Si and asked slowly: "You obeyed Diao Gongzi's instructions and followed Duofu to Huang Jiaqiang to kidnap Zhang, but you were broken by Zhang San, you fought with Zhang San, and finally stabbed Zhang San, is this the case?" ”
"Yes!" Zhao Si bowed his head and admitted.
Lin Haoran looked at Diao Qingsheng again, and asked slowly: "That day, you went to Nanhai County to falsely accuse Huang Mi and others, and then sent Zhao Si and Duofu to abduct Zhang, which is true!" ”
"Exactly!" Diao Gongzi hesitated slightly, but finally nodded.
Lin Haoran turned his head to look at the scribe next to him, and instructed him: "Let the two of them sign and draw a pledge!" ”
"Yes!" The scribe gave the gift and brought the offering paper to the court.
Diao Gongzi glanced at it, saw that the confession did not do anything, but wrote his name happily and printed his handprint. In his opinion, although things have changed, his father will definitely be able to save him from danger.
"Dong Weng, please look!"
After Sun Jixiang took the two copies of the paper, he presented it respectfully.
"Although my son has confessed! However, regarding the abduction of the Zhang family, this son wants to explain here! It's not that my son is greedy for Zhang's beauty, but that Huang Mi doesn't pay off his debts, so my son made this decision! Diao Gongzi defended himself.
"Shameless!"
"It's clearly a bloody squirt!"
"There is a precedent for this, and he will definitely come up with a forged IOU again!"
……
Hearing Diao Gongzi's remarks, the people in the hall were immediately indignant and accused Diao Qingsheng one after another.
"Silence!"
Lin Haoran slapped the startled wood, and said in a calm voice.
"Might-Might!"
Twelve tall servants slammed their long sticks on the floor with water and fire in their hands, making a chaotic sound of "dong dong".
The hundreds of people in the hall immediately shut up, after all, this is the high-ranking prefect, who really dares to challenge his authority. It's just that I can't help but wonder if this Diao Qingsheng will get away with it again.
After Lin Haoran saw that the statement paper was correct, he was shocked, and did not pay attention to Diao Gongzi's sophistry, and pronounced the verdict in a deep voice: "According to the law of the Ming Dynasty, anyone who murders people and creates intentions will be beheaded. Diao Xing sent Zhao Si and Duofu to kidnap Zhang's before his birthday, and Zhang's brother Zhang San rescued him, but he was killed by Zhao Si, and now a cadre and others have confessed! Today, the government officially announced the verdict, and Zhao Si should be beheaded! Diao Xingsheng, the creator, make a decision! ”
As the words "Diao Xingsheng, the creator of the will, cut the decision" fell, the audience fell silent.
"How so! How so! I didn't kill anyone! I didn't kill anyone! Diao Xingsheng was like an afterthought, and he looked extremely shocked and shouted to others.
Ay......
Huang Yizhen, who was standing on the side, shook his head and sighed lightly, unable to complain about this legal blindness.
The abduction of the woman alone was enough to exile him for 3,000 miles, and Zhang San's death was caused by him, because he wanted to pay for Zhang San's life, and this judgment was reasonable.
Many people in the hall were confused at first, but among them, there were people who knew the laws of the Ming Dynasty, and everyone suddenly realized.
"Come on, drag these two to death row!"
Lin Haoran ignored Diao Xingsheng's grievances, and gave another order.
"Yes!"
The officials all have a fair name in their hearts, and they know who is good and who is evil. In particular, Diao Tongzhi was bound to be implicated, and he was naturally obedient to Lin Haoran, so he dragged Diao Xingsheng down viciously.
"Thank you, Lord Qingtian, woo woo......"
Huang Mi helped the old woman out, and the old woman was already in tears, and knelt down solemnly towards Lin Haoran in the hall.
"Thank you, Lord Qingtian!"
"Knock on Lin Lei Gong to uphold justice!"
"Knock on Lin Lei Gong to uphold justice!"
……
The people in the hall knelt down in the dark, although many of them had expectations, but when Lin Haoran really punished the evil young Diao Xingsheng, tears welled up in their eyes.
The good officials they were looking forward to have undoubtedly appeared, punishing the evil and promoting the good for the poor people, and upholding justice for this city of Guangzhou. Even though he is the son of the high-ranking Diao Tong Zhijia, this new prefect also dares to issue a judgment of "beheading and deciding", and this judgment even exceeds many people's expectations.
At this moment, they finally understood why the people of Leizhou Mansion called him "Lin Lei Gong" and why they still built a Lei Gong Temple for him, because this new prefect deserved this kind of treatment.
The officials in the hall looked at the people who knelt down in a large area, and their faces were all moved.
The people's heart, which should be intangible, is actually presented in front of their eyes.
