Chapter 80: Trial of the Case (I)

In the early morning of the next day, Luzhou City woke up early in the morning breeze, and the small people in the market had one more thing in their hearts in addition to starting a day's life; Today, the petty officials of the Su family are about to be tried in the government office, which was originally uneventful, and there are more than a dozen fights and brawls on the street every day, which have attracted much attention because they involve Su Ji's young owner and the prefect's office.

Since the beginning of the hour, people have come to hang in front of the government one after another, trying to find a good position to be easy to watch; Nearly seven or eight hundred Luzhou residents gathered in the venue in front of the hall, but there were not many places to watch, and in addition to Li Chong and other people with official positions, only the family members of the people involved in the case were qualified to enter the lobby to observe; The others had to all huddle at the door of the government and look inside, and the people behind couldn't see it and squeezed in, until the crowd was piled up, and the people were screaming and scolding, if it wasn't at the door of the government, I am afraid they would have started fighting each other.

Except for Mrs. Wang, who was kept in the dark, all the people of the Su family appeared, and they were arranged to stand in the area on the inside of the lobby early, and on the opposite side were several presidents of the Chamber of Commerce, and they didn't know what their identities were to occupy a place in the lobby.

At the right time, the officials walked around the hall with the killing sticks in their hands, and the sticks in their hands danced wildly to force the crowded people back a few steps, and drew a horizontal line with yellow mud powder, and the head of the team wearing a high crown shouted: "The prefect is about to ascend to the court, you should be silent and cautious, don't be crowded and noisy, whoever makes a loud noise is dragged into the hall and is punished for thirty strokes, and those who cross the yellow line will be handled with this, and all the villagers and elders will hear it clearly, and then don't blame me for being unpredictable." ”

The people did not dare to disobey the orders of the government, and the people who stood in the front row looked down at the distance between themselves and the yellow line, even if they were still half a step away, they still retracted half a step back for the sake of safety.

The officials returned to both sides, and the head of the squad shouted: "Ascend to the hall...... Phew. ”

The two rows of officials pestle the ground with sticks, making a rhythmic 'tuk-tuk' sound, and shouting in unison: "Wei...... Wu ......"

At the side door of the lobby, a tall brocade curtain of a servant, a group of mermaids came out, walking in front of a person with a long face, black beard and concave cheeks, wearing a green official uniform with a curved collar and large sleeves, a black leather belt around his waist, wearing a black gauze on his head, and his feet on white boots.

Behind him are the members of the team of Tongzhi, Fucheng, the master bookkeeper, the master and other members of the government, such a small case, the team gathered, it can be said that it is extremely important.

Zhu Shiyong walked to the lobby and stood still, a pair of small eyes slowly swept over the hall, and everywhere he looked, the original 'buzzing' sound of the people suddenly stopped, and the official authority was really not small.

Zhu Shiyong lifted his official robe with satisfaction, Shi Shiran sat down under the big plaque of "Mirror Hanging", he sat down, and the Tongzhi, Fucheng, and the chief bookkeeper behind him sat down behind their respective cases.

Zhu Shiyong slapped the stunned wood, coughed and said: "The case of Su Jin, a small citizen of Luzhou, beating Zhu Tianshun, a Xiucai in Luzhou, is now being heard. ”

The officials cooperated and chanted: "Mighty ......"

The call stopped, and Zhu Shiyong shouted: "Take the plaintiff and the defendant to court." ”

The officials brought out Su Jin and Zhu Tianshun, who had been waiting in the side room for a long time, and ordered the two to stand still in the hall, Zhu Shiyong saw that Su Jin did not kneel, and his face sank and shouted: "The defendant Su Jin in the court, why didn't you kneel when you saw this official?" ”

Su Jin bowed his hand and said: "Su Jin, a grass citizen, has seen the prefect, and dares to ask if it is an adult who will hear this case today?" ”

Zhu Shiyong frowned and said, "Don't you know that this mansion is the prefect of Luzhou?" In my lobby, of course, I will be the judge, and the judge asks you how to see me not kneeling, and you ask how to say this? Do you want the official to teach you how to respect the ruler first? ”

Yan Biyun, Li Chong and others who were listening around were secretly anxious, Su Jin was grabbed as soon as he came up, and the prefect's words already had a faint hint of seizure, seeing that the official whether it was the original defendant or the witness, he had to kneel and salute, Su Jin had neither official status nor fame, and it was a crime to see the official not kneeling, if Zhu Shiyong used this to beat Su Jin with ten sticks to punish him, no one could refute his fake public and private interests.

Everyone was anxious about Su Jin's unwisdom, so they only listened to Su Jin salute again: "Your lordship is angry, the grass people are thinking about the adult, and the adult should not be sitting in this hall today to try the case, so he can't pay a big salute." ”

"Shut up......" Zhu Shiyong was furious, this kid was so stubborn that he actually said that he shouldn't try the case in this hall, which was extremely rude.

"Come on, beat the prisoner Su Jin with twenty sticks to punish him for contempt of the court and his reckless speech." Zhu Shiyong shouted.

The two officials stepped forward and grabbed Su Jin's arm and pressed it to the ground, everyone in the Su family was shocked, but there was nothing they could do; A group of people in the Chamber of Commerce looked at each other and smiled, feeling proud, this kid is afraid that he is crazy, and he is actually messing around in the lobby, isn't this looking for a smoke? Originally, I wanted to use my brain to move his board, but now I pouted my ass and sent it to the door.

Su Jin laughed loudly: "It turns out that this is the case, the law of the imperial court is like an ornament here in the prefect, it seems that the prefect is the heaven of Luzhou, and the grass people will be hit by the board if they can't even finish speaking, so a mirror hangs high, hahaha." ”

The onlookers were shocked, Su Jin's words directly pointed at Zhu Zhifu's perversion of the law, and even put on a big hat for Zhu Zhifu that did not respect the laws of the Great Song Dynasty.

Zhu Shiyong was furious, and wanted to immediately order this Su Jin to be punished severely, but hundreds of pairs of eyes stared, and this Su Jin gave him a big hat in an ominous manner.

Zhu Shiyong suppressed a wave of anger and sneered: "Offender Su Jin, you must explain your words clearly to the official today, and it is reasonable to say it clearly, otherwise you will not be able to run away from the crime of slandering the court officials." ”

Su Jin stretched out his arms, straightened his clothes and said, "Dare to ask my lord, who is this so-called plaintiff?" ”

Zhu Shiyong said in his heart: This kid is really fucking stupid, and listening to his crooked tone is worth adding ten boards later.

"Plaintiff, who are you, what are you here, tell him about it." Zhu Shiyong decided to cooperate with this kid first.

Zhu Tianshun still had a white gauze belt wrapped around his face, because the part where Su Jin patted him was on the face, the injury was not serious, but the wound area was not small, and a white gauze really couldn't wrap the wound, so Lang Zhong had to wrap it back and forth on his head a few times, and only the eyes, nostrils and mouth were wrapped around Zhu Tianshun, and he was a zombie.

"I, Zhu Tianshun, sued Su Jin, the Diao Min of Luzhou Prefecture, for murder on the streets, wanting to restrain the small people to death, and begging the adults for mercy." Zhu Tianshun pretended to be smart and Su Jin wanted to restrain him to death, wanting to make things bigger.

Su Jin smiled and said: "Master Zhu, you have to be careful when you speak, this sentence just now is suspected of false accusation, we will settle this account later, I ask you now, what is the relationship between you and the prefect in the hall?" ”

Zhu Tianshun didn't know what he meant, and looked around blankly for help, but he couldn't lie about this, the people of the whole city knew that he was the son of the prefect and the government, could it be that he denied that he was the seed of the Zhu family now?

So Zhu Tianshun said honestly: "The prefect is my father, you kid is talking about some irrelevant questions, do you want to delay time and wait for someone to save you?" Tell you, today you are dead. ”

Su Jin clapped his hands and said, "What a big breath in the ya." Then he turned his head to the onlookers outside and said, "Fathers and fellow villagers testify, this person just said that he was the son of the prefect's lord, isn't it?" ”

The crowd didn't know what he was going to do, but they saw it with their own eyes, and they said, "I've heard it." ”

Su Jin turned to Zhu Shiyong and said, "I don't know if the prefect has any objections to this Zhu Gongzi's words?" ”

Zhu Shiyong was full of anger, this kid became a horn in the lobby, he didn't know what to do, and then he was shocked and said: "What kind of tricks are you playing, if you continue to talk about it, the official will no longer tolerate you." ”

Su Jin stuck out his tongue and said: "It seems that the lord admits that he and this Zhu Gongzi are father and son, so recite a passage below, please ask the prefect to know clearly." ”

At the moment, he didn't wait for Zhu Shiyong to speak, and recited aloud to himself: "The prison officer has a family relationship with the person being sheathed, including those whose inner relatives are in the five suits, and those whose outer relatives are above the great merit, and when trying the case, in order to prevent the risk of favoritism, they must all listen to the call. The Prison Officers and the Prisoners...... and taught the teacher, and was appointed as the governor of the headquarters, the history of the assassin, and the county order...... All must be listened to. The Prison Officers and the Prisoners...... and those who have hatred must be listened to. ”

Most people were confused when they heard this, but this was like a thunderclap in the ears of several officials in the hall, and a man of medium height wearing a bamboo hat in the crowd also nodded slightly, smiled and said nothing.
