"Listen, the trial is open, go and take a look. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"
"Let's go, let's see what crime our Master Li from Guobei County will be sentenced to. ”
"I heard that Master Li used evil magic to make money and kill him, I don't know if it's true or not. ”
As the voice of the ascension hall sounded, the crowd outside the county government suddenly surged, and they all wanted to come in to see how Master Li's case would be heard.
Some people hope that Li Dafu will be safe and sound this time, and of course some people hope that it is better for the Li family to collapse like this, after all, the Li family has been high in Guobei County for several generations, and it is inevitable that there will be people who are jealous.
"Someone, bring the goddess Wang who sued Li Dafu. In the lobby, Liu County, who was on the main seat, said suddenly.
The officials looked at each other, didn't this goddess die yesterday? How could she go to the court?
Soon, the two of them carried the stretcher and carried the body of the goddess Wang to the lobby.
"Look, the princess is dead?" The squire outside the lobby, the clan elder was suddenly startled.
"This, how can this dead man sue, look at the appearance of the king and goddess, she has been dead for several days. There was also an old man with more poisonous eyesight who spoke: "It's already corpse spots, Li Dafu hasn't been arrested these days?"
"Yes, people have been dead for several days, how can they still go to the county government to sue Li Dafu. ”
"But I heard that the goddess Wang was arrested a few days ago, but she did not die. ”
For a while, doubts and discussions continued.
Li Xiuyuan, who was in front of the crowd, had a calm face, and only glanced at the corpse of the Wang Shenpo slightly.
I saw that the body of Wang Shenpo was full of bruises left by being beaten, and all over her body were blue and purple, as if she had been beaten to death, and the wounds were patches and patches, which was very strange.
"Those two ghosts are desperate enough. Li Xiuyuan said secretly in his heart.
At this time, Liu Xianling suddenly shouted: "Who said that a dead person cannot sue, and do you know how Mrs. Wang died? In the many years that this official has been an official, I have never seen such a bold person dare to sneak into the county government at noon last night and beat the most important witness in this case, Mrs. Wang, to death in the yamen. ”
"What does this mean? This is clearly someone who wants to kill people and destroy the evidence of the crime, and this official suspects that this matter is related to the Li family, and it is very likely that someone from the Li family sent someone into the county government and killed Wang Shenpo. ”
When everyone heard this, there was an uproar and they started to talk about it.
Liu Xianling snorted lightly, not giving everyone a chance to discuss, and said: "Come here, pass on Li Dafu's son, Li Xiuyuan." ”
"Young Master, look, this ......" an errand officer walked over and said with a look of embarrassment.
"It's okay, I'll see how this Liu County Commander intends to slander my Li family. Li Xiuyuan waved his hand and walked out immediately.
"Li Dafu's son, Li Xiuyuan has seen the county magistrate. ”
He walked out, his eyes a little cold, and he saluted calmly.
Liu Xianling said coldly: "You are Li Xiuyuan? This official also asks you, you gave this official an honest explanation of 1510, where were you at noon yesterday night?"
"Back to my lord, at midnight, I am naturally in the house. Li Xiuyuan said.
"What are you doing in the house?" asked Liu Xianling.
"When my father was imprisoned, he was naturally worried about his father's affairs and stayed awake all night. Li Xiuyuan said calmly.
"Sleepless nights? Hmph, there are witnesses. Liu Xianling snorted lightly.
At this time, Tie Shan, who was outside the lobby, hurriedly shouted: "I can prove that the eldest young master sat in the lobby of the Li family all night last night and never went out half a step. ”
"Just because you have never gone out for half a step does not mean that Li Xiuyuan will not order his subordinates to do things, you are a descendant of the Li family, your words are not credible, and now this official suspects that you sent the family members of the mansion to murder Wang Shen's wife overnight and kill the most important witness in this case, Li Xiuyuan, can you plead guilty?" Liu Xianling stared at Li Xiuyuan and said.
Unexpectedly, the so-called public trial of this Liu County Order did not judge Li Dafu, but instead came to Li Xiuyuan.
Take down Li Dafu and sentence Li Xiuyuan to a serious crime, this is to kill everything.
Li Xiuyuan smiled lightly: "I want to be convicted just by relying on the empty words of Liu County's order, is Liu County's order a little suspicious of reversing black and white and wronging good people?"
"You Li Xiuyuan are also considered a good person, don't think that this official doesn't know everything you have done, since you don't admit your guilt, it's okay, come and bring Wang Chuan, the messenger who kept vigil yesterday, to the court. Liu Xianling said again.
After a while, an errand officer named Wang Chuan knelt down in the lobby.
"Little Wang Chuan, meet the adults. ”
"Wang Chuan, this official also asks you, did you hear what happened in the house of Wang Shenpo when you were keeping vigil yesterday?" asked Liu Xianling.
Wang Chuan said tremblingly: "Back to my lord, when the little one was on an errand last night, I heard the sound of fighting and screaming in the room where the king was guarded, but when the little one arrived, he saw two masked people rushing out of the house of the king godwife, and the two masked men in black ignored the little one and left quickly, and when the little one arrived, he saw that the king god had died violently in the house. ”
"By the way, my lord, when the little one came, I vaguely heard a man in black shouting. ”
"What's that? Liu County Ling asked.
Wang Chuan trembled, and said tremblingly: "The man in black said: The matter is completed, hurry up and go to the eldest young master to return to his life." ”
"Young Master, are you sure the man in black said something about the young master? Liu Xianling asked.
"Yes, small for sure. Wang Chuan lay on the ground, not daring to raise his head.
Suddenly, the squires and clan elders outside the lobby were shocked again, and looked at Li Xiuyuan in unison.
"No, won't it, Li Xiuyuan really bought a murderer and killed Wang Shenpo?"
"Sending someone to kill Wang Shenpo overnight is to prevent today's public trial, so it seems that Li Dafu's charges are also true. ”
"I really don't know my heart, I didn't expect the eldest young master of the Li family to do such a ruthless thing, hey, I still can't believe it. ”
"Yesterday, I already saw some signs that something was wrong, I heard that Hei San, who was on an errand in the Yamen, was cut off by Han Meng of the Li family's dart line, and broke a hamstring, although Hei San is a famous ruffian hooligan in Guobei County, but Hei San didn't do anything angry and resentful, this Li Xiuyuan was too ruthless. ”
For a time, people's hearts changed immediately.
The squires who had supported Li Xiuyuan before, the clan elders immediately fell to the side, all thinking that Li Xiuyuan was the murderer who instructed his subordinates to kill Wang Shenpo.
As soon as this crime is confirmed, as for today's defendant Li Dafu, he does not even need to be tried, and it can be directly determined that the crime is true.
His son is still like this, and his father can be imagined.
Seeing this scene, Liu Xianling showed a smile on the corner of his mouth.
The Li family wants to fight with themselves?
I haven't been able to be an official for all these years, those squires, clan elders, have enough status, and their identities are old, but in the final analysis, they are just a group of fools.
This kind of person is best fooled, and in just a few words, all these people who support the Li family believe that the Li family is the murderer.
"Li Xiuyuan, now that the evidence is conclusive, what else do you have to say?" Liu Xianling said.
"The evidence is conclusive?"
Li Xiuyuan said, "The so-called conclusive evidence of Liu County's order is nothing more than the one-sided words of the officials under your command, why does Liu County's order only believe his own subordinates and not the words of others? I can also say that Liu County's order deliberately beat this Wang Shenpo to death last night, and then sent a government official to frame me and instruct me to send someone to kill Wang Shenwei, so wouldn't the two generations of my Li family fall into the hands of Liu Xianling?"
"Ridiculous, this official is the county magistrate of this county, how can you be a mere sinner, how can you slander indiscriminately, and your father Li Dafu has already confessed his guilt. After Liu Xianling finished speaking, he said: "Master, show this sinner Li Dafu's testimony." ”
"Yes, sir. Master said.
Immediately walked over with a testimony in his hand.
Liu Xianling said: "Li Xiuyuan, you have to see clearly, there is your father's personal drawing on this." ”
Li Xiuyuan glanced at it, and it was full of records of his father's crimes, and at the same time, there were his father's handprints at the end.
The handprint is real, but the charge is false.
His father was arrested and sent to the yamen for several days, not to mention that he was beaten into a trick, and it was not difficult to forcibly press his handprints.
"It turns out that Liu Xianling has prepared everything in the past few days, I really admire, admire, I can't even insert a word. ”
After Li Xiuyuan read it, he immediately stroked his palms and smiled: "In this case, how do you know how Liu County Ling will deal with my father and me?"
When Tie Shan saw Li Xiuyuan stroking his palms, his eyes immediately flashed and he retreated from the crowd.
According to the previous verdict, this official should sentence Li Dafu to the frontier and take out 400,000 taels of silver to compensate all the victims in the county, but today's case has changed, you Li Xiuyuan bought murder and murder, and the crime is extremely heinous, and you are in cahoots with your father Li Dafu. ”
"Therefore, the two crimes are increased by one degree, this official announced today that Li Dafu was sentenced to murder with evil magic for money, the crime is extremely heinous, and the sentence is beheaded after the autumn, and Li Xiuyuan is also unforgivable for buying murder, and he should be deprived of his fame and immediately imprisoned, and at the same time the mansion and all the acres, shops, and workshops under the command of the Li family will be confiscated......"
Liu Xianling looked jealous and hateful, and then pronounced the sentence in a righteous manner.
