Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Yingtianfu Yamen sits in the north and faces south. There is a big drum outside the court door - the drum of injustice.  When the drum was beaten, the chief judge, the chief clerk, the secretary, and the three squads of yamen officials took their places one after another. Of course, this was only a theoretical procedure for asking questions. In fact, this drum was rarely beaten.  This is not to say that the Yingtian government is harmonious and the people live in peace to the point where there are no grievances. The main reason is that the weight of grievances is not enough. It is estimated that only the legendary Ms. Dou has this qualification; if ordinary people do not believe in this evil, he will easily get a slap in the face.  , or more importantly, they will be sent to the army and the consequences will be miserable enough.  Of course the Shi family had nothing to worry about when they went to Yingtian Mansion to beat drums and complain.  As the saying goes, beating a dog depends on its owner. Lord Meng reluctantly went to court. Faced with the blood and tearful accusations from the Shi family demanding severe punishment of the murderer, Lord Meng reluctantly summoned all the suspects in the murder of Shi Biao.  .  ??Among them, Chen Xu was the most suspected. Even if Master Meng had selfish intentions, he had to go through this formality; as for how to end it, he felt like he was in a mess and couldn't find a clue.  Beating drums to complain about grievances is a major event in Yingtian Mansion. Although it is still early, many people have gathered to watch the excitement.  The matter was so big. I thought it was the common people who had long-standing grievances and wanted to make a desperate move. Later, they heard that the government was suing the people. Their expressions were very surprised. In this era, who is so bold and dares to go against the officials?  ? Good deeds never go out, and bad deeds travel thousands of miles. They didn't know who was the first to tell the story about Shi Biao's murder. Only then did they know that it was the Shi family who complained today.  Shi Biao's comments are rubbish. It's a pity that Taobao is not popular these days. Mr. Shi doesn't know how terrible the bad comments are. When people mention the word "Shi Biao", they all gnash their teeth. Some people think they deserve it, and some think they deserve it. In this way  The people should have died long ago.  Of course, they dare not tell it. As the saying goes, the magistrate who destroys the family and the governor who destroys the family, let alone a powerful family like Jinling Guards who holds military power? I really don¡¯t know which hero is doing justice for heaven.  This world is really crazy.  Except that Chen Xu was not shackled, in front of and behind him, officers with shining steel knives appeared as if they were escorting felons from the imperial court.  Chen Xu walked through the crowd calmly. The solemnity of the yamen and the unsmiling majesty of the yamen servants on both sides were just childish for someone like him who had been to the Jinluan Palace. To put it bluntly, he came to a place like this as if he were on vacation.  It's also a pastime.  "He is the beggar husband of Miss Xue Jiasan." Someone in the crowd watching outside the Yamen whispered.  The voice was not loud, but the repercussions were not small. How dare such a person kill people? Did the heads of those officials in the Yamen get kicked by donkeys? The story of Shi Biao letting his slaves commit murder and forcefully break into Chen Xu's mansion also spread.  It is said that the cause of the incident was that Shi Biao suspected that Chen Xu was harboring his fianc¨¦e.  They finally figured out why the Zhu family got involved. Although there were many people in Jinling who wanted to join the Shi family, more people were ashamed of Zhu's father marrying his daughter.  Who in Jinling city doesn¡¯t know about Shi Biao¡¯s urinary nature? If the beautiful young lady from the Zhu family were to marry him, she would be like a flower stuck in cow dung.  Chen Xu did not expect that Father Zhu was also present. Father Zhu snorted heavily when he saw Chen Xu. He still firmly believes that Chen Xu and Yingying hid his daughter. If not, how could the Zhu family have fallen into this state?  Such a difficult situation? You can't yell unless it's in court.  He had already cursed loudly.  Zhu¡¯s father did not dare to roar in court, but the Shi family did not have such worries.  As the plaintiff, Shi Tong has a seat in the courtroom.  Shi Tong had never met Chen Xu. He simply regarded him as one of the suspects who killed his son. Watching him calmly walk into the court, his hands in his sleeves were clenched into fists.  Shi Tong had long made up his mind, whether Chen Xu had anything to do with his son's death or not, he would make his life worse than death.  This is the price for offending his son.  "You murderer, give back my brother's life." Shi Ying stood beside her father. When she saw Chen Xu, new and old hatreds came to her heart. Shi Ying rushed over arrogantly, but Chen Xu dodged to avoid it.  He frowned and looked at the naughty woman.  "Crack!" Lord Meng clapped the gavel.  He shouted "Quiet"; at the same time, Shi Tong stared at Chen Xu and scolded his daughter, "How can you be so outrageous?" in the courtroom.  The plaintiff and defendant should kneel to express their feelings. Shi Tong has an official position, so he is exempted from kneeling. As his daughter, Shi Ying, standing next to her father and answering Master Meng, can only turn a blind eye.  As for Zhu's father and the others, they could only kneel in the court hall with fear.  The moment Chen Xu stepped into the courtroom, Mr. Meng began to feel troubled. Chen Xu's current status seems to have no fame. Without fame, he would have to kneel down and reply. Let alone whether someone like Chen Xu would kowtow to him.  Even if he is willing to kneel down, does he, a young governor, dare to accept it? "Who are you? If you have any grievances to complain, please tell me quickly." Chen Xu stood upright in the courtroom. Lord Meng already knew what this guy was like.  idea, he clapped the gavel again, originally intending to use the pretext of asking questions to get rid of the matter; clinker stones were found in the sand, and he asked Mr. Meng, Chen Xu, a common man, why he did not kneel before an official.  .  Master Meng was at a loss for words. Chen Xu stared at Shi Tong, "Then why don't you kneel down?" Shi Tong snorted. He seemed to be disdainful to answer Chen Xu's question. Shi Tong's entourage replaced the master and scolded, "You are so bold and unruly, my family  I am the Emperor's uncle Dingyuan. According to the rules, you are not allowed to kneel" "What about her? Why can she not kneel?" Chen Xu looked at Shi Ying and then said, "And you, why can you not?  Don't you kneel down?" "Quiet!" Shi Tong can't be offended, and Chen Xu can't be offended even more. Master Meng feels that he is like a little shou. It's better to mediate than to inquire about the case. The most annoying thing is that both sides seem to be in trouble.  Don't accept this favor from him.  Shi Ying seemed not to have heard Master Meng's words. She glared at Chen Xu, "You are a murderer. How can you be allowed to be so arrogant in court? Sir" "Why do you accuse me of being a murderer and who did you kill?"  "Chen Xu stared into Shi Ying's eyes, "If you don't have evidence, I will sue you for slander." Mr. Meng looked at Chen Xu who was "talking freely" and said in his heart that you not only killed someone but also wanted to beat him up as if nothing had happened.  , No wonder you can be such a big official, you are so thick-skinned.  "You had a conflict with my brother yesterday, and my brother was unfortunately killed this morning. Do you dare to say that this matter has nothing to do with you?" "It's a joke, Shi Biao let the slaves commit the murder, and our Chen family has little power to resist. If Master Meng hadn't intervened to mediate,  My Chen family may have been wiped out by him a long time ago. How can I kill Shi Biao with so many people?" After a pause, Chen Xu raised his hands to Master Meng and said, "I hope you can learn from this."  And the kung fu is unfathomable, as all the classmates in the martial arts school can testify to. " Chen Xu and Dou'er were humiliated one after another. Shi Ying regarded it as the greatest shame in her life, but considering that her brother died in vain, she couldn't care less.  Shi Tong suddenly turned his head and stared at Chen Xu. It was incredible that Chen Xu, a beggar, dared to talk in court. When he heard his daughter's words, several thoughts came to his mind - Shi Biao was killed, Chen Xu  Although he had the most motive to kill, Shi Tong was the first to exclude him. Firstly, he did not have the ability, and secondly, there were wounds on the corpse; but if what his daughter said was true and his martial arts was unfathomable, then this  Everything suddenly became clear. Although the military assassin is a knife controlled by the imperial court, it is not impossible to imitate ps: Thank you to classmate "Xianqing Calm" for the reward, thank you to classmate "ooZiyuoo" for the reward, bow!
