Chapter 100: The trial begins
In the afternoon of the next day, the county government court.
"Knock knock!"
As the three links sounded in the hall, twelve sturdy servants wearing red and black hats, soap-red official uniforms, white soles and black boots, and holding water and fire sticks were divided into two columns and stood face to face on both sides of the public hall with solemn expressions.
Gou Zhixian, who was wearing a seven-grade official uniform, walked up to the desk in the lobby and sat down with the help of the master, with the "mirror hanging high" above his head, and the huge screen of the river and the sea teeth and the rising sun behind him, but a sneeze destroyed the momentum.
On the left side of the hall stood the personable Jiang Juren, holding a painting fan, indescribably chic, and glanced at Gou Zhixian lightly, with a faint trace of disdain in his eyes.
Syllable!
Gou Zhixian picked up the shocking wood on the case and slapped it on the table, but it turned out to be another sneeze, and he hurriedly said to the officials below without a little majesty: "Shengtang...... Tweet! ”
"Wei ...... Wu ......"
The twelve officials were a little caught off guard and did not cooperate well, and their voices seemed a little chaotic. It's just that the water and fire sticks smashed the floor, making the scalps of the onlookers in the hall tingle.
Because this was a major case of murdering her husband, it was put in the lobby for public trial, attracting many idle people to come and watch, including some scholars.
"Take the prisoner Lin Ayun!"
After a while, Ah Yun was brought up, and Lin Erhu personally escorted him.
Although she is only thirteen, she has clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, and she is a beautiful embryo, and when she was escorted over, she saw the third woman in the crowd, her eyes couldn't help but red again, and tears overflowed.
Ay!
When many young scholars see this poor beauty, they inevitably feel compassion.
"Chuan Jiang Chi!"
A silly young man was also brought into the hall, his figure and appearance were somewhat similar to Jiang Juren, but he pouted his fingers, and everyone smirked when he saw it, especially when he saw Ah Yun smirking even more happily.
I'm blind!
After everyone saw Jiang Juren's son, they couldn't help but shake their heads helplessly.
"Prisoner Lin Ayun, what happened that day, hurry up and recruit from the truth!" Gou Zhixian made a shocking sound, facing the girl Ayun, and then he had a bit of the momentum of an official master.
"Tell the lord! The people's daughter Lin Ayun was originally a maid of Jiangfu, but a few days ago, she gave me to Jiang Chi as a concubine for the main mother, and the people's daughter was disobedient...... "Ayun held back her tears and told the story of that night.
Things were not different from the previous rumors, and Ah Yun didn't want to lose his life to Jiang Chi, so he resisted that night in the cave room, and stabbed Jiang Chi with scissors and fled at night.
"Did you suddenly have a bad idea to take your husband's life that night?" Gou Zhixian received Jiang Juren's eyes and immediately questioned again.
"Min...... Folk girl, no! Ah Yun gritted his teeth and denied it.
"Huh...... Then if you don't stab somewhere else, why stab me in the chest? Jiang Juren couldn't help but stand up at this time and asked with a gloomy face.
"The lights went out that night, so the folk girl stabbed out indiscriminately in a panic, not intentionally stabbing him in the chest!" Ah Yun gritted his teeth again, not admitting that it was intentional.
"You're lying!" Jiang Juren suddenly shouted, looked at her angrily and said: "That night, you clearly wanted to murder Wu'er, and now in the public court, you dare to deny it, don't you want to be tortured!" ”
Receiving Jiang Juren's eyes, Gou Zhixian was shocked, and said in agreement: "Lin Ayun, you have to deny it, otherwise this official will punish you!" ”
Whining......
Ah Yun was only a thirteen-year-old girl after all, and when she heard that she was going to be tortured, she was immediately frightened and trembled.
Although she knew that the only chance to survive was to bite and not admit that she had intentionally stabbed Jiang Chi in the chest, but if she really moved, how could she bear it? What's more, she seemed to be possessed by a demon that night, and her hatred was hard to get rid of at that time, and she did have the urge to put Jiang Chi to death.
"My lord, then torture him!" Jiang Juren looked coldly at Ah Yun, who was kneeling, but Gou Zhixian was a little undecided and asked, "I don't know what kind of punishment should be used?" ”
"Execution!" Jiang Ju snorted coldly and said lightly.
Torture is a kind of torture that is customary for female prisoners, and in fact it is a punishment of pinching the prisoner's fingers. Putting a hammer into the finger and tightening it with force may result in the loss of the means of livelihood for the skillful woman.
It's just that when he was about to be executed, he heard a young man's voice coming from under the hall: "Why did I hear Jiang Juren's words about being executed outside the door, Jiang Juren couldn't have filled the vacancy and become the county magistrate of this county?" ”
This is undoubtedly a slap in the face of Jiang Juren, he has always called outsiders "non-jinshi is not an official", and he is also a little arrogant.
Lin Haoran appeared with a large group of scholars, held his head high, and followed Jiang Juren's sharp eyes. I have to admit that this Jiang Juren's appearance is very upright, and he is very angry, and ordinary people are afraid that they really bow their heads in front of him.
"I've seen my old parents!" Lin Haoran walked up to the lobby and arched towards Gou Zhixian.
"Little Sangenro is polite!" Gou Zhixian also smiled mildly when he saw Lin Haoran coming up.
Jiang Juren glanced at Gou Zhixian in surprise, but he didn't know why this faint official was so close to Lin Haoran, and frowned and said disdainfully at Lin Haoran: "A little showman dares to go to the court to listen!" ”
"Jiang Juren can actually try the case in the public court, what if I, the little Sanyuanlang, come and listen to it?" Lin Haoran looked at him with a smile, and the two were-for-tat.
However, Gou Zhixian was a peacemaker, and hurriedly smiled and said to the two: "The two great talents come to assist the official, the official is very welcome, please don't hurt the harmony!" ”
Hum!
Jiang Juren snorted coldly, thinking that this was just a showman, how could he be compared to Benjuren. It's just that he didn't have a seizure after all, and glared at Lin Haoran coldly.
"Your Excellency!"
The official who was about to be tortured with a hammer stopped there and looked at Gou Zhixian in embarrassment. Gou Zhixian waved his hand, these two are masters, and he can't offend any of them.
"Lin Xiucai, this is already an iron case, do you still want to overturn the case?" Jiang Juren said in a weird manner.
Lin Haoran didn't pay attention to him, but arched his hand at Gou Zhixian and said, "Dare to ask where the murder weapon is?" ”
"Someone, bring the murder weapon!" Gou Zhixian said to the yacha under the hall.
After a while, I saw a pair of scissors brought up by a yacha, this scissors still had a few drops of dark blood, it was indeed a murder weapon that could kill people, and the closure was a little sharp.
Lin Haoran picked up the scissors, but played with them, and then looked at Jiang Chi suspiciously: "I heard Ayun say that she just stabbed lightly, I'm afraid that the little bit of strength can't even hurt the skin?" ”
Jiang Juren didn't laugh angrily, but he didn't expect this product to want to make a fuss about it. Gou Zhixian motioned to untie Jiang Chi's clothes, revealing his chest, but saw that there were two wounds on it, one of which was on his left chest.
It's just that this wound can't be said to be heavy, nor can it be fatal, but it did pierce there, which can be regarded as ironclad evidence.
"What else do you have to say?" Jiang Juren looked at Lin Haoran who came over, squinted his eyes and sneered.
Phew!
Lin Haoran was holding the scissors, but he suddenly stabbed at Jiang Juren, who was triumphant, causing hundreds of people and scholars in the hall to immediately stare into their eyes.
I don't understand why this little Sanyuanlang was suddenly so heartbroken, and dared to commit murder in public in the public court, and the target of the murder was still the most prestigious Jiang Juren in this county.
