The case is called Tang Jingting's decision, in fact, it was all Hai Rui's idea, and the first two cases were decided, no matter what the reason, the original defendant accepted the verdict in court anyway.

Qin Lin wondered in his heart, he couldn't figure out what the basis for Hai Rui's verdict was, he looked at Hai Rui suspiciously, and saw that this Qingtian old man was holding his gray beard, and his expression was quite satisfied.

Tang Jingting went to get the third case file on the table, and there was a clerk at the bottom who coughed dryly twice, and glanced at the lord of the mansion.

Tang Jingting understood, opened the case file and took a look, and immediately ordered: "This case involves the chastity and reputation of women, and it is not suitable to be tried in public, come, move to the second hall!" ”

The pattern of the county government offices all over the country is similar, the four-in, four-in, or five-in quadrangle, the first courtyard sits in the north and faces south, and the house facing north is the hall for public trial of cases, also known as the main hall, and the room in the same position in the second courtyard behind is called the second hall, which is the place where officials meet guests and secretly interrogate.

For example, cases involving women's names or court secrets should not be tried in public in the main hall, so they will be transferred to the second court.

There is no public case on the high steps in the second hall, there is a high-backed Taishi chair in the middle, and the guests on both sides are a long row of coffee tables and chairs, Tang Jingting, Qin Lin, and Hai Rui are seated separately.

Tang Jingting behaved quite cautiously, and did not rush to summon the original defendant, but first showed the case file to Hai Rui and Qin Lin, and said in detail: "This is a person named Qi Dalang in this county, and his wife Qin is a maid in the Gu family, saying that he was defiled by Gu Kedu, the boss of the Gu family, by borrowing wine, so Qi Dalang sued the yamen." Gu Kedu donated the cabinet book, and the first county was a little constrained, so he stuffed this hot potato to the government. ”

Hai Rui frowned, pinched his beard and said to himself: "Gu's poetry and books are heirlooms, and Gu Kedu is also well-dressed, although he is good at drinking, I'm afraid he can't do this kind of thing...... What is the reputation of Qi Dalang's family? ”

Tang Jingting looked at the bookstore who had just made a look, and the clerk immediately replied with a smile: "Back to the master, those two are sloppy and broken." Qi Dalang's father had a few acres of thin fields in his hands, and he was defeated by his eating, drinking, and gambling, and ended up with no food and clothing, this Qi Qin's family is his family's child daughter-in-law, and he has to be a first-class talent, so he had no choice but to send it to the Gu family as a helper, and he didn't want to make such a joke, two days ago Qi Qin's family was beaten out by the Gu family, which made the people of the county laugh. ”

"I see," Hai Rui bowed slightly, and the corners of his mouth showed a little disdain, "It's really hateful for a single evil slave to falsely accuse his master!" ”

Qin Lin became more and more incomprehensible at this point, Hai Rui had not listened to the confession of the original defendant and did not analyze the facts of the case, so he first came to a conclusion, which is too arbitrary.

Could it be that the people in the Qiongzhou Mansion are really stubborn, and there are a lot of slaves falsely accusing the master's family, so Hai Rui has already experienced?

Qin Lin couldn't say anything when he first arrived, so he decided to wait and see what happened.

The plaintiff Qi Dalang was taken to the second hall, he was born with a slippery face, his legs were bent as if he had no bones, he knelt down as soon as he slipped away, and kowtowed: "Hai Qingtian, Tang Fuzun, the little one is wronged, his wife was deceived and annihilated by Master Gu, and there is nowhere to reason, how can there be such a reason in the world?" ”

Just looking at it, this Qi Dalang is disgusting, and Hai Rui and Tang Jingting both frowned.

Qin Lin observed carefully and found that this person had a red rosacea on his face, I am afraid that he has been drunk and dreaming of death for 365 days a year, and there is an obvious callus on the joint of his right finger, which must have been dropped by throwing the dice for a long time, saying that he eats, drinks, and gambles with all five poisons, and it is really not wrong.

"One-sided words are not enough to rely on," Tang Jingting stared at Qi Dalang coldly, and asked again: "You said that your wife was deceived and annihilated by Gu Kedu, did you see it with your own eyes, or did you hear rumors?" ”

Qi Dalang was stunned, and said with a wry smile: "Tang Fuzun, how can you see such a thing with your own eyes?" yes, that little slut wanted to hang herself when she came home, and I tricked her out of her mouth......"

Before he finished speaking, Tang Jingting interrupted him: "In this way, there is no real evidence, just rumors." ”

Hai Rui sneered and waved his hand: "Call the defendant to confront him." ”

With a respectful smile, the official led the two men to the second hall, the first one was about fifty years old, a little fat, with a Chinese face, wearing a dark green dark gold embroidered satin robe, and the person behind him followed step by step, in his forties, not fat or thin, he also had a national face, wearing a blue muslin straight jacket, the appearance of the two was somewhat similar, Qin Lin found several identical details on their angular and prominent faces, and it was almost certain that they had a common paternal inheritance.

That is, these are two brothers.

"Gu Kedu has seen three adults," the older one made a group of gestures upward, he was a prisoner, and he did not kneel when he saw the official as usual.

The younger brother in the back had no fame, so he knelt down and saluted: "Gu Huiming has seen three adults. My brother was falsely accused of being wronged by a slave for no reason, it was really swept away, and I originally sent a small one to the court to respond to the lawsuit, but I just heard the news that Hai Qingtian personally asked about the case, and my brother immediately rushed to serve. ”

If the gentry want to fight a lawsuit with someone, they often do not appear in court, and just send housekeepers and servants to replace them, which is called "not entering the public door", which is a kind of privilege.

Gu Kedu sent his younger brother Gu Huiming to respond to the lawsuit, but when he heard that Hai Rui was also here, he hurried over to show his respect for Hai Rui.

Tang Jingting secretly scolded in his heart that the surname Gu is not a thing, there is only this eldest master who co-authors, you don't give face, just send your younger brother?

However, the Gu family is a giant family in Qiongzhou, a wealthy family, and has dealings with the governor of Guangdong and the envoy, and has a lot of friendship with Hai Rui, Hai Rui should also be invited by Gu Huiming to write a birthday message for the old lady of the Gu family, Tang Jingting, who is the prefect, can only mumble two sentences in his stomach.

Tang Jingting asked Gu Huiming to stand up and reply: "Mr. Gu Er, why did Brother Ling be accused?" ”

Qi Dalang knelt on the ground, since the two Gu family came in, they didn't dare to make eye contact with them, Gu Kedu never looked at him, but Gu Huiming glared at him fiercely: "This Qi Dalang has always been stubborn, obviously taking the opportunity to make trouble, and wants to blackmail his brother." So that a few masters know that the Qi Qin family was kicked out of my family for petty theft, and the next day he came to the door, falsely claiming that Qi Qin's family was occupied by his brother and wanted to blackmail my family's money. ”

Gu Kedu took a deep look at this time: "Hai Qingtian, Tang Fuzun, Gu Mou is standing upright, it's not that he is reluctant to give fifty taels of silver, but that there is no thing, how can he be blackmailed by this Qi and slander Gu's reputation?" And Qi is a scoundrel, he now wants fifty taels, after eating, drinking, gambling and spending, he will definitely come to Tulai Gu again, how can there be an end of time! ”

Hai Rui and Tang Jingting looked at each other, and both of them looked disdainful.

"Do you really go to the Gu family and ask for fifty taels of silver?" Qin Lin suddenly looked at Qi Dalang and asked without hesitation.

"I, I just want it," Qi Dalang lowered his head a little embarrassed, quickly stiffened his neck again, and shouted loudly: "He deceived my wife, shouldn't he be compensated?" Fifty taels is already cheaper for him! ”

The mud that can't be lifted! Tang Jingting took a sip.

Hai Rui also said: "Qi Dalang, don't you think you are shameless? ”

The Gu family brothers didn't know what Qin Lin was about, they only saw him wearing a flying fish suit, sitting with Hai Rui and Tang Jingting, and they all wondered in their hearts, and they didn't want to ask, so they couldn't take a few more glances at him.

Qi Dalang was scolded by Hai Rui and Tang Jingting, but Qin Lin smiled and encouraged: "Whether you eat, drink, and gamble has nothing to do with the case itself, since you also learned the news from your wife, then it may be more convenient for us to summon her directly." ”

Summoning Qi Qin's family? Hai Rui and Tang Jingting looked at each other, they were going to stop here and drive Qi Dalang out, but they didn't expect Qin Lin to "make extraneous branches".

"Even if it's summoned, it's a one-sided statement," Tang Jingting touched his chin, a little undecided, and felt that it was not good to directly dismiss Qin Lin's opinion.

Hai Rui stroked his beard and smiled: "Well, look at what the shameless woman has to say." ”

The official roared at the time: "The prisoner's wife Qi Qin's ~~"

Yes, it was originally the plaintiff, but the officials instinctively called out as a prisoner, no wonder, who called Hai Rui and Tang Jingting's attitude so obvious?

Supported by two stable women left and right, Qi Qin's slowly walked in, she is a young woman in her twenties, with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, Chu Chu is pitiful, the best posture said by the secretary is not exaggerated, but at this time, the hair is scattered, a pair of crying red eyes are wrapped with tears, her eyes are dodging like a deer, her pretty face is not powdered, and she still has tears and tears, which is particularly pitiful.

Seeing that Gu Kedu was also present, Qi Qin's mouth screamed, and he was so frightened that he almost collapsed, but thanks to the support of the two stable women, he didn't fall to the ground and slowly knelt down.

Hai Rui and Tang Jingting were stunned, they thought it was a slick and slippery woman who deceived the master's family, but they didn't expect it to be such a person I feel sorry for, the two adults are both Shilin gentlemen, they didn't dare to look at her more, and quickly turned their eyes to the side, the so-called indecent don't look at it.

Qin Lin didn't care, he was a forensic doctor, and he saw more naked human bodies than those wearing clothes, where was this taboo? Qi Qin's family looked at it carefully.

"Ahem," Hai Rui reminded Qin Lin with a dry cough of some dissatisfaction, even if this woman has a bit of grace, we can't lose the dignity of an official.

Tang Jingting smiled secretly, and said in his heart that Brother Qin was young after all, and he was a little shaken when he saw the beauty.

Hey, hey, Bai Shuanghua, who was pretending to be a pro-soldier, bit her lip lightly, and somehow wanted to knock Qin Lin's head on a few bags, others are already pitiful enough, you still look at it, you have no heart and lungs!

Unexpectedly, Qin Lin stood up instead and walked to Qi Qin's side, she knelt on the ground, a piece of her pink neck was exposed from her neckline, Qin Lin looked at it carefully, and nodded unknowingly.

Qi Qin's face was red with shame, and his head hung low to his chest.

Hmph, the surname Qin originally liked this kind of weak and helpless woman! When Bai Shuanghua thought of this, he gritted his teeth loudly, and the parrot of Jin Yingji is still reminding you not to be distracted, and I don't know if this guy remembers.

With a flick of the jade hand, a finger wind struck out and hit Qin Lin's waist and eyes.

"Haha, oops, haha", Qin Lin's waist was sore and itchy, and he couldn't help but laugh a few times.

Hai Rui finally couldn't help it, his face sank, and with a wave of his robe sleeves, he was about to reprimand Qin Lin.

Qin Lin suddenly lowered his voice and said unhurriedly: "Everyone, the case of Qi Qin's rape is still unsubstantiated, but these injuries on her body are not something she can get out of herself!" Look at the bruise on her neck, which extends from the front to the back of her neck, and if I'm not mistaken, there are two thumbs on her collarbone, which can't be her own pinch! ”

It turned out that Qin Lin was looking at the scars on Qi Qin's body, and everyone suddenly realized that they had misunderstood him before laughing.

The two stable women had already experienced Qi Qin's scars before, and said with admiration: "The master is right, there are two oblique scars on her collarbone, which look like they were pressed by her thumb." ”

"It's like that," Qin Lin stretched out his hands and made a neck-pinching motion.

The two women nodded repeatedly.

When Qi Qin heard Qin Lin's words, he trembled all over his body and trembled involuntarily.

Suddenly, she raised her head, took a deep breath, and finally looked at Gu Kedu angrily: "That day, that day, Master Gu, just pinched the slave family like this and pressed the woman on the bed...... Ask the three masters to make decisions for the people's women! ”

Gu Kedu was so frightened by that angry gaze that he took a step back, his eyes didn't dare to look at Qi Qin's family, and his mouth muttered: "You, don't lie to me......"

Hai Rui and Tang Jingting were a little hesitant, the two of them were not blind, from the moment Qi Qin came in, they found that things might not be as they were before.

"Qi Qin's blackmailing master's family, this is when my slave drove her out, he accidentally injured her!" Gu Huiming helped his brother.

Qin Lin smiled, still clever words? He beckoned to Frostbloom.

I? Bai Shuanghua pointed to the tip of his nose, and after getting Qin Lin's affirmative answer, he walked over inexplicably.

What a handsome offspring! Everyone's eyes lit up, and Gu Kedu looked at it greedily.

"Look again, this sect leader gouged out your eyeballs!" Bai Shuanghua glanced at him, and the cold murderous aura made Gu Kedu's heart cold, and he didn't dare to look at it anymore.

Women love beauty, even if Bai Shuanghua disguises herself as a pro-soldier with the secret art of teaching, she will not make herself ugly.

"Everyone, please see, there is not much difference between the figure of my personal soldier and Qi Qin's, let's compare him," Qin Lin said, he put his hands on the white frost Hua collarbone socket and pushed it outward, and opened his mouth with one hand and pinched his neck outward, "These common pushing actions will not leave scars of that shape, but if you change to such a posture......"

Bai Shuanghua's virgin body, being pushed around by Qin Lin, was already flying on his cheeks, showing his serious appearance, and explaining the case, he couldn't get up anyway.

"This way, this way," Qin Lin went even further, grabbed her shoulders and pressed them to the ground...... What are you doing? Bai Shuanghua's face was red, and he glared at Qin Lin hatefully.

"If the case needs it, you can cooperate, good~~" Qin Lin leaned into her ear and whispered with a wicked smile.

The head of the sect ...... Bear with it! The shape is forbidden, and Bai Shuanghua has no choice but to fall to the ground, Qin Lin immediately leaned down and pressed down, knelt between her legs, and reached out to pinch her neck.

"Hey, you still have to move, this is rape," Qin Lin blinked very narrowly.

Bai Shuanghua was so angry that in order to end it early, he was forced to twist his body and make a struggling resistance.

At this time, Qin Lin's thumbs of both hands were spread and pressed against her collarbone, and the other four fingers stretched out to the side of her neck, the shape and position of her hands were exactly the same as the scars on Qi Qin's body!

Everyone suddenly realized that the bruise was neither a simple pinch, nor a simple push, but condescending, while pinching, there was also a pressing control action!

"No, no......" Qi Qinshi kept shaking her head, biting her fingers fiercely, her eyes were full of fear, this action made her recall a nightmarish scene, unbearable.

Qin Lin let go of Bai Shuanghua, and she slipped back into the ranks of the pro-soldiers, thanks to the disguise technique, otherwise she couldn't think about what her face would look like.

Lu Yuanzhi and Niu Dali had to work very hard to hold back their laughter, but they didn't dare to be presumptuous in front of the Demon Sect Master, otherwise they wouldn't know how to die...... Having said that, Chief Qin probably wanted to do the kind of thing he did to the Sect Leader, right? Hey, hey, hey.

Gu Kedu's face was very ugly, and he argued forcefully: "Reading the book of saints, abiding by etiquette, righteousness and shame, where would you do that kind of beastly behavior?" ”

Gu Huiming's eyes rolled, and he also said: "It can't be proved that it was made by my brother, it is true that Qi Qin's family can't get that kind of scar by himself, but Qi Dalang can!" It is not uncommon for them to deliberately injure themselves and blackmail our Gu family. ”

Qin Lin sneered twice and was about to refute, but Hai Rui spoke first and asked in a deep voice, "Qi Dalang, Qi Qin, do you have any evidence to prove that the injury was indeed caused by Gu Kedu?" You said that he was drunk and occupied, is there any evidence and physical evidence? ”

This...... Qi Dalang scratched his head in embarrassment: "Anyway, the injury was caused when my wife came home, but the incident happened in the Gu family, even if there is a witness, it is also his servant Yahuan, where can we find human and material evidence?" ”

Qi Qin lowered his head, wept sadly, and didn't say anything.

"In this way, it will be very rare," Hai Rui frowned and muttered to himself: "Take the thief and take the stolen goods, catch the annihilation and catch the double, there is no arrest in bed, and there is no physical evidence, this case is probably ......."

Qi Qin's suddenly kowtowed again and again, hitting the corners of his forehead with blood, which startled the two stable women, and hurriedly hugged them left and right, for fear that she would not be able to think about it for a while.

Qi Dalang was also very unwilling, his eyes were rolling, and he didn't know what to think.

"But ......" Hai Rui's words changed: "But since the Qi Qin family is a helper in the Gu family, the master must also be treated kindly, even if he is a little negligent, how can he wantonly beat and injure himself?" ”

Gu Kedu still didn't understand what it meant, but Gu Huiming saw the opportunity, pulled his brother for a while, and then scolded Hai Rui again and again: "My family committee is really a little at fault, I shouldn't beat her to injury, I am willing to compensate her for the soup and money." ”

Hai Rui smiled: "Then compensate fifty taels of silver!" ”

Qi Dalang's eyes lit up, and he was stunned on the spot, thinking that there was no hope, but he didn't know that he had left fifty taels of medicine silver - you must know that silver is expensive, ten taels of silver is enough for an ordinary family of three to live comfortably for a year, and he was only going to ask the Gu family for fifty taels of silver, but now it has been completely achieved.

Tang Jingting struck while the iron was hot and said, "Original defendant, do you accept the verdict?" ”

"Accept the sentence, accept the judgment! The mirror of the sea blue sky hangs high, the eyes of the sea blue sky are like electricity, and the little one thanks the master of the blue sky! Qi Dalang nodded his head like a chicken pecking rice, lest he would be slow to agree, and the silver in his hand would fly away again.

Qi Qin's family looked at her husband with great grievances, she was already sad when her husband ate, drank and gambled before, and worked hard to help the Gu family to supplement the family, but unfortunately this incident happened, her husband actually sold his dignity in exchange for fifty taels of silver, how could she be embarrassed?

Qi Dalang would be wrong, and he smiled regardless of the presence of everyone: "Wife, fifty taels of silver is a lot, anyway, you are not a yellow flower girl......

Hmph, hum, Gu Kedu sneered proudly, Gu Huiming took out the silver ticket from his arms and threw it down, Qi Dalang hurriedly picked it up like a hungry dog grabbing, and made a gesture towards Hai Rui, dragging his wife and walking out, as if he was afraid that the silver ticket would be taken away again.

Qi Qin's soul was lost, and he was dragged away by her husband in a daze, just like a soulless body, which made people feel sad.

I could only hear Qi Dalang shouting Hai Qingtian all the way out, but in Qin Lin's ears, this was a spicy sarcasm.

Unable to bear it any longer, Qin Linhuo stood up suddenly, his sharp eyes pierced Hai Rui, and said loudly: "Hai Qingtian!" ”

"Brother Qin, don't be impatient," Hai Rui pressed down with both hands, "You must think that the old man is mediocre and confused, and there is no way to solve the case, right?" ”

Qin Lin nodded unceremoniously, it is true, the first case of Zhao Xiaosi and Boss Qian fighting for land, Hai Rui had to ask a farmer who didn't know a single word to come up with conclusive evidence, which can still be explained by "strict law enforcement", so in the second case of the Li family and the Zhang family fighting for the boundary stone, he directly sentenced the small households to win and the big clan to lose, which seems to be inclined to protect the interests of the people, which belongs to "hoeing the strong and helping the weak".

Which Xiao got the third case, Hai Rui simply fell naked to the giant Gu family, and even ignored the facts of the case, and made a "gourd monk judging the gourd case", which was completely opposite to the tendency of the second case, so that Qin Lin couldn't figure it out.

Tang Jingting smiled, squeezed his eyes at Qin Lin, and then slammed Hai Rui to the ground: "Teacher, your rules for judging cases are logical and reasonable, and the students admired them back then, and they are willing to revisit the old teachings." ”

Hai Rui stroked his beard and said quite confidently: "Okay, the old man will tell you in detail." If there is an endless dispute between the two sides of the case, the original defendant will yield to one of them, and at this time, he will give in to his brother rather than his brother; Rather than bend to his uncle and nephew; Rather than bend to the poor, it is better to bend to the rich; Rather than be stupid, it is better to be stubborn. The matter is fighting for the industry, rather than succumbing to the small people, rather than succumbing to the countryside; Things are arguing about appearance, rather than succumbing to the eunuchs, rather than succumbing to the small people. The four dimensions of courtesy, righteousness, honesty and shame must be used as the criterion when judging cases, and the so-called four dimensions are not open, and the country will not be a country, and we must be extra cautious......"

Tang Jingting looked at the teacher with admiration, the two brothers of the Gu family each had ghosts, and after Hai Rui finished speaking, he looked at Qin Lin with a smile, feeling that he must have been impressed by his reasoning.

"Speaking human words," Qin Lin scratched his scalp and smiled very innocently: "Please talk about human words." ”
