Chapter 1034: Conditions
"It's a liar, isn't it?"
"How dare she open her mouth!"
"I really should have beaten this woman to the twenty boards!"
β¦β¦
When the people in the hall heard this request, they immediately began to talk about it as if they had blown up a pot.
No one expected that the new witness who had just been found suddenly asked for silver taels, and as soon as he opened his mouth, it was as much as twenty taels, which was really appalling.
"Silence!"
Lin Haoran's face was slightly constricted, and he was shocked.
"Might-Might!"
Twelve tall soap class officials held a long stick of water and fire, and when they heard the sound of startling wood, they immediately smashed it the board, making a "dong dong" sound.
The people in the hall who were talking to each other were numb at this time, and they felt the majesty of the Shuntian Court, and immediately shut up, but they still stared at the Zhang family in the hall with dissatisfaction.
Hu Niu's brows furrowed slightly, and she also looked at Zhang, who was kneeling on the ground, but did not say anything.
Xu Fan didn't miss this opportunity, and immediately mocked in a strange voice: "Twenty taels? Lin Fucheng spent this money, I'm afraid she can make her refer to the deer as a horse, right? β
Between the words, the essence is to hide the murderous intention, and this "referring to the deer as a horse" is even more evil.
Lin Haoran's face looked very ugly, if he made this request in private, he would still be able to agree. It is only in court that such a request is made, and even if he is willing to give the silver taels, it is impossible to agree to it in court.
If he really agreed to this condition in court, even if he solved this case, the matter would inevitably spread throughout Beijing. I am afraid that the title of a silver mountain mansion will fall on his head, which will greatly damage his reputation.
The original intention of this case was to give Xu Fu a little color. If you need to pay the price of notoriety, it is undoubtedly a deal that outweighs the losses, and it is better to give up as soon as possible.
Lin Haoran's heart was crossed, and he immediately scolded in a deep voice: "You greedy woman, how can this mansion do what you want!" If you have evidence today, you will do it, and if not, see how this government punishes you! β
As soon as these words came out, the hearts of the people in the hall were put down, and this Lin Fucheng finally didn't do anything ridiculous.
Of course, there are also disappointments. In addition to Xu Fan, there was also Zhang Tongju, who was listening to the trial, they hoped that Lin Haoran would do something foolish, but Lin Haoran was obviously not a fool.
"The little woman has nothing to say!" Zhang was not afraid, but he made up his mind
Lin Haoran's face turned cold, and he immediately pronounced a righteous and awe-inspiring sentence: "The Zhang family despises the court, and intends to blackmail this mansion, so he will be imprisoned for the time being!" Then, with a look of anger, he slapped the shocked wood and said, "Retreat!" β
At this point, his first public trial in the Shuncheon Mansion undoubtedly ended in failure.
Although he believed that Xu Yuanwai was Xu Dafa, and found two witnesses. But he still underestimated the energy of his opponent, and not only had he already cleared his identity, but he also successfully rebelled against the witnesses.
Especially with the testimony of the fat man, he fell into an extremely passive situation. Unless he could really find conclusive evidence, if not, he would have no chance of winning the case.
Just want to find this kind of thing, how easy is it to prove that Xu Yuanwai is Xu Dafa?
"Wait!"
Seeing that Lin Haoran was about to leave, Xu Fan suddenly stopped him.
Lin Haoran's brows furrowed slightly, and he held back the anger in his chest and asked, "Lord Xu, what else is the matter?" β
"Lin Fucheng, since there is no evidence against Xu Yuanwai, and Liu Yuanwai has already proved that Xu Yuanwai is not Xu Dafa, should Xu Yuanwai be released in court?" Xu Fan pointed to the fat businessman next to him, smiled and asked.
Lin Haoran didn't expect such a request, and immediately lowered his face and said, "Lord Xu, don't forget!" Back then, not only did my sister Hu Niu see Xu Yuan, but Ben Fu Cheng was also related to him, do you think Ben Fu Cheng would release him because of a businessman's words? β
When he said this, he did not hide the majesty on his body, and glanced at the fat merchant. The fat businessman was originally a little proud, but he was glanced at by Lin Haoran, and he immediately fell into an ice cellar.
Perhaps it was because he had strengthened his inner thoughts and determined that Xu Yuanwai was that Xu Dafa, and Lin Haoran's heart surged with stronger self-confidence.
Although he knew that the case was getting tricky, things had come to this point, and it would be detrimental to his reputation if he gave up halfway so easily.
What's more, after this trouble, and the reaction of this fat businessman and others, he concluded that this Xu Yuanwai was the former Xu Dafa. Although things have become hot, how can one person impersonate another person really be completely flawless?
"Lin Fucheng's obsession is so deep, aren't you afraid that the imperial history of the Metropolitan Procuratorate will impeach the adult?" Xu Fan's rejection also swelled with anger, and he immediately half threatened the authentic way.
Lin Haoran knew the influence of the Xu family in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the current Imperial History of the Left Capital of the Metropolitan Procuratorate was the same as Xu Jie, and many of Xu Jie's protΓ©gΓ©s served in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, which made the strength of the Xu Party in the Metropolitan Procuratorate stronger than that of the Yan Party.
It's just that he naturally can't compromise so easily, and he is not afraid of making things bigger, so he replied with a righteous and awe-inspiring appearance: "What this government is asking for is justice!" If they want to impeach the Governor, then even if the impeachment is good, the Princes will accompany them to the end! β
After saying this, Lin Haoran no longer paid attention to Xu Fan, who felt good about himself, and left the court angrily, ending this unsatisfactory court trial.
"Okay, that's what you said!" Xu Fan's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said angrily to Lin Haoran's back.
At this point, he was also displeased with Lin Haoran, and wanted to trample this bright kid under his feet, so that Xu Fan would become the new focus of officialdom.
Because he failed to achieve good results, Lin Haoran was in a bad mood, so he left the Shuntian Mansion very early. After returning home, as usual, he silently sipped tea in the gazebo in the backyard and thought about the road of life.
Under that sunset, Lin Haoran in the pavilion became more and more mature and calm.
Now that the matter has undoubtedly expanded, if he can get the case to light, then he will naturally benefit from it. But if no evidence can be found, things may be extremely unfavorable to him.
The next day, at the instigation of Xu Fan, there was really a letter to impeach Lin Haoran, and Lin Haoran was given a hat of "acting with will, not doing anything". At this juncture, it is simply the possibility of preventing Lin Haoran from being promoted to the position of Shuntian Mansion Yin.
Things have come to this point, which makes Lin Haoran's situation worse and worse. Originally, he just planned to give Xu Fu a little color, but the other party had already had a countermeasure, causing him to fall into the mud instead.
