"Big brother." Luo Pingping stood outside the courthouse accompanied by the maid Xiaofei. When he saw his big brother, tears were already rolling in his eyes.
In fact, although Xu Chuan took this Luo Xingtang into custody, he did not impose any fines, and even allowed her to visit. Luo Xingtang's life was no different from outside, but he still obviously lost his former bearing, and there was a hint of decadence between his brows. elephant.He came to the hall and glanced outside the hall, but after a brief pause on Luo Pingping's face, he looked towards the crowd, as if he wanted to find someone, when he saw Zhang Qinglian standing in the crowd , even showing a rare smile.
Xu Chuan looked speechless,
Stupid, so stupid.You don't even look at how worried your sister is when she runs for you.
"Sir, the shopkeeper of the jewelry shop was murdered by Luo Xingtang. The case is clear and the evidence is conclusive. Please let your lord pronounce the sentence." Lawyer Situ respectfully stepped forward.
Xu Chuan nodded slightly: "Well. This case is in no rush. Before this officer tries this case today, he will try another case."
"Huh?" Lawyer Situ was taken aback.
The owner of the jewelry shop, Luo Pingping's master, servants, and the people were all stunned. Are there other cases?
"Miss, do you want to drag Master Xu again?" the maid Xiaofei said in a low voice.
Luo Pingping didn't have any idea, just shook his head slightly.
Xu Chuan ignored their astonishment and waved his hand: "Let's pass the son of the Li family, the second son of the Hu family, Lin Xiucai and others to the court..."
Immediately, the yamen scrambled to bring seven or eight young people. These young people all bowed their heads, and they were all decent people in Ancheng County.
"Young Master Li at the Sunrise Pawnshop? What did he do?"
"Xiang Gong..." A woman looked at Lin Xiucai for a moment.
"That bastard, did you do something bad without telling me." Another rough rich man roared.
The people outside the hall suddenly became noisy.
"quiet!"
The head of the class shouted.
A silence.
Zhang Qinglian stood outside the hall, originally wanting to see how Xu Chuan would sentence Luo Xingtang, and how much benefit she could get, but she did not expect Xu Chuan to bring such a group of people in a rush, and his face turned pale.The secret passage was not good, and he was about to turn and leave.
But when she turned around, a black-faced figure had appeared behind him, with a heavy sword in his hand, looking at Zhang Qinglian.
"Let Miss Zhang go to the court." Xu Chuan's voice came from the court.
Zhang Qinglian trembled.
"Miss Zhang, the lord is summoning, please." Li Ming said in a deep voice. As he spoke, he subconsciously wanted to show a smile, but he felt that he should not, so he quickly put it away, making his skin laugh and not laugh...
Zhang Qinglian felt a little more fearful in her heart, she knew that Qiu Jinhu was the one who was killed by the black-faced youth in front of her.At the moment, I can only go to the court with Li Ming.
"Miss Zhang..."
"Qinglian girl."
"Sister Lian..."
As soon as Zhang Qinglian entered the hall, Luo Xingtang wanted to say hello, but before he could speak, there were several calls beside him.But it was the seven or eight young masters who spoke enthusiastically first.
Zhang Qinglian did not look sideways, bowed towards Xu Chuan Yingying, and said softly, "People's daughter Zhang Qinglian, I have seen adults."
Xu Chuan said, "Zhang Qinglian, do you know any of these people?"
Zhang Qinglian shook the goose neck gently: "Master Hui, the people don't know."
"Sister Lian, why don't you know me anymore? We have a three-year contract. As long as I wait for my high school, I will marry you..." The show was anxious.
"Fart, the girl Qinglian likes is me." Young Master Li was anxious.
"What do you like about you, Miss Zhang, do you still remember the token of love I bought at the Cheng's jewelry shop with a lot of money."
One by one they rushed.
Zhang Qinglian scolded these idiots with a cold face.
Luo Xingtang looked at this scene and was a little stunned.Immediately, those young masters also reacted. After looking at each other, they vaguely realized something.
Xu Chuan snorted coldly: "You all speak one by one, Li Xiaofu, you speak first."
Li Xiaofu is the Mr. Li from the pawn shop. He took a look at Zhang Qinglian, sighed softly, and then said: "I met Miss Qinglian in a teahouse. That day..." He said slowly, with a smile on his face. Still a bit intoxicated, at the end... "I spent 200 taels of silver at Cheng's Jewelry Store, bought a pearl flower and gave it to her, and we have no contact since then."
The second narration of the second husband of the Hu family... It was also a wonderful encounter. After spending a fortune at the Cheng family jewelry store, there was no news afterwards. Since he had already made a marriage, he did not dare to publicize it.
That Xiucai even said that... He was in the middle of the family, and he bought the property without his wife, just to buy a piece of jewelry for Zhang Qinglian.
……
they say,
The people outside were stunned. First, they were surprised that the jewelry in the jewelry store was expensive, beyond their imagination. Second, this girl Zhang, this... interpersonal relationships and emotional exchanges are too rich.
After listening to the experiences of these people, Xu Chuan looked at Zhang Qinglian. He thought that the women in this world were more "conservative and reserved".I didn't expect such an emotional liar, Queen of the Sea.
"Zhang Qinglian, what do you have to say?" Xu Chuan shouted.
Zhang Qinglian immediately burst into tears, knelt down on the ground, and said shyly: "Your Excellency knows, although the little girl knows them, they have never been over the ceremony. those jewelry."
Xu Chuan smiled coldly and said, "Yes, you didn't accept those jewelry, because you colluded with Cheng Song, the treasurer of the jewelry store, to cover their silver taels. They can only blame themselves for being stupid and being fascinated by your beauty and tenderness, but on Luo Xingtang, if you set yourself up again, Cheng Songben, the jewelry store manager, has chest tightness and shortness of breath. I went to four pharmacies in the city and learned from the doctor of Chunfengtang that Cheng Song went to him for a doctor because of sudden syncope the day before his death. The doctor of Chunfengtang said that Cheng Song was terminally ill and had no cure. So you want to be a big one, frame Luo Xingtang, and seek his family property, right or not?"
Xu Chuan's remarks were loud and loud, and there was an uproar in the courtroom.
Chapter 18 Licking Dogs Is Unreasonable
"Public opinion +20, prestige +90."
A hint appeared in Xu Chuan's mind, which shows that his inferences completely calmed the people under the hall, and even the seven or eight sons and brothers including Luo Xingtang were calmed down.
Is this a scam from start to finish?
Emotional liar?Kill someone with your life?
Incredible.
"Miss, miss, did you hear that, the lord said that the son was framed." Xiao Fei shook Luo Pingping's body vigorously, almost breaking the latter's already thin body.
Ke Luoping's eyes lit up.Brother was framed?Framed?
A look of panic flashed in Zhang Qinglian's eyes, but then she quickly calmed down, looked at Xu Chuan with a calm expression, and said, "My lord's inference is indeed bizarre and breathtaking, but the lord said that I and the Cheng family jewelry Is there any evidence for collusion?"
"Yes, yes, my lord, the villain has never known this girl Zhang." Cheng Peng knelt on the ground and said with trembling lips.
"Stay stubborn?" Xu Chuan snorted coldly, "You don't know each other? The witness, Cheng Liu's."
"Pass on the Cheng Liu clan."
The head of the class escorted Cheng Liu to the hall, and whispered while going to the hall: "The words of the adults have been brought to you. To be honest, all the Cheng family's property is yours. If you deceive, then Cheng Peng and Zhang Qinglian will fly away, you Nothing will fall."
Cheng Liu took a deep breath and flashed in her mind the scene of Zhang Qinglian and her husband discussing matters behind her back. Divorce her and marry that bitch.
Thinking of this, she nodded and walked into the lobby.
"Liu Hongmei, a citizen's wife, see the adults."
"Madam, what are you doing here?" Cheng Peng was shocked.
Zhang Qinglian also showed panic.
Only the Cheng family knew about her relationship with the Cheng family, but Cheng Peng would never betray her. The two were grasshoppers on the same rope. If they recognized it, it would be a dead end.
But Cheng Liu's is different.
"What am I doing here? Your lord summons, I naturally have to come, why, you thief, you want to corrupt people's money, so you divorce my mother and marry that slut, I can't think of it, the sky has eyes, Xu The adults have already seen through your tricks." Cheng Liushi looked at Cheng Peng and Zhang Qinglian with resentment.
Cheng Peng stared: "You crazy woman, what nonsense are you talking about?"
Xu Chuan smiled and said, "Liu Hongmei, are you Cheng Peng's wife?"
"Yes." Liu Hongmei nodded respectfully.
"Okay, this official asks you, does this girl Zhang know the Cheng family?" Xu Chuan asked.
Liu Hongmei hurriedly said: "Don't dare to deceive the adults, Zhang Qinglian, formerly known as Zhang Xueer, originally from outside the county, came to Ancheng County two years ago, and started a business with my father-in-law, namely Cheng Song, she is responsible for bringing customers to the jewelry store. , My father-in-law deliberately raised the price of jewelry, and tried to deceive those who took advantage of it. Just a few days ago, my father-in-law's health became worse and worse, so he came up with this poisonous plan. When he brought Luo Xingtang to buy jewelry, he deliberately got into trouble with him. …”
"You are talking nonsense! Mad woman, you are talking nonsense!" Cheng Peng roared and rushed towards Liu Hongmei.
But as soon as his body moved, he was swept under his knees by the two yamen on the side, and his legs fell so hard that he fell to the ground, his mouth hit the ground, and blood immediately came out.
Seeing her husband's appearance, Liu Hongmei was frightened, and she had nothing to say about the relationship between husband and wife. She became more and more resentful, so she went into details, inside and out, explaining how they lied to others and how they harmed Luo Xingtang. Chu.
There was an uproar all of a sudden, and Zhang Qinglian's face was ashen, and she fell to the ground in a flash.Cheng Peng was even more powerless to lie there, like a dead dog.
It's over, it's over.
Xu Chuan waited until Liu Hongmei finished speaking, then clapped his hands and said, "Cheng Peng, Zhang Qinglian, you two have something to say."
Cheng Peng got up from the ground and said, "My lord, my lord, my father and Zhang Qinglian planned this matter together.
Zhang Qinglian just sneered and sat there without saying a word.
Xu Chuan frowned and looked at Cheng Peng: "Cheng Songzong is the mastermind, but you are the master of false accusations. You cannot deny it. Master Wang, falsely accusing others, according to the laws of the Great Xia Dynasty, what should be the crime of falsely accusing others?"
Master Wang got up quickly and said loudly: "The Daxia law is clearly determined, and the false accusation should be punished with the crime of being falsely accused."
Cheng Peng shivered.
Xu Chuan nodded and said: "Cheng Peng, you heard it, you falsely accused Luo Xingtang of murdering others, deliberately plotting to steal other people's property, and ruthless, this crime should be punished, but you are really not the mastermind, this officer will exempt you from the crime of death and betray you. Exiled to work, go to Xiaming Pass to move stones."
Xiamingguan, that is the place closest to the twelve mountains of the Northern Demonic Beast Wilderness in the Nineteen States of Daxia.
"Your Excellency, please spare your life." Cheng Peng cried.
Xu Chuan waved his hand, and the yachai pushed Cheng Peng down.
Then he looked at Zhang Qinglian: "Zhang Qinglian, whose real name is Zhang Xue'er. You and the Cheng family jewelry laying bureau deceived other people's property. I want to ask them now, but I will be held accountable."
Xu Chuan looked at the young people.
Li Xiaofu looked at Zhang Qinglian's soft and weak figure, and his heart was filled with pity, and he sighed: "Forget it, I am sincere to you. As for... my lord, I don't blame Miss Zhang."
"I don't blame it either."
"Don't blame her."
"She must have a hard time."
said one by one.
Luo Xingtang opened his mouth and said nothing.
Their performance immediately attracted scolding from a group of people outside the hall.It is said that these descendants are really blind, blinded by lard...
Xu Chuan was a little more comfortable listening to it from above. From another angle, it was quite refreshing to see the people scolding others.
"Miss, fortunately, the son did not plead for that bitch." Maid Xiaofei said happily.
Luo Pingping was about to nod his head in relief, but he saw Luo Xingtang in the hall actually stepped forward and knelt beside Zhang Qinglian and said, "My lord, I was deceived by others because I was stupid, I don't want to pursue the crime of Miss Zhang's frame, please forgive me. waived."
Luo Pingping stomped his feet angrily.
Xu Chuan also twitched the corners of his mouth.
"Miss Zhang, you and I know each other. No matter what, I treat you with sincerity. This time... I know that your heart is not like this. Maybe, you have your troubles." Luo Xingtang also smiled at Zhang Qinglian.
Such an infatuated lover that even if I die for you, I have no complaints.
Zhang Qinglian looked at him, and the two looked at each other, as if time had frozen for a while, but the true feelings of no one else were revealed.
Seeing this scene, Xu Chuan could only say silently in his heart: "Lick the dog, lick the dog, lick the dog until you have nothing, you deserve to be killed, and who else is not?"
The Snow Mountain Swordsman, who was about to flatter his master in Xu Chuan's sea of knowledge, couldn't help sticking out his tongue when he heard this.
Lick the dog... Who is the owner talking about?
"Not about me, well, definitely not about me."
……
"cough."
in the hall.
Xu Chuan coughed lightly, interrupting Luo Xingtang and Zhang Qinglian's gaze.
The two looked up.
Xu Chuan said: "Since the parties do not pursue it..."
He was about to close the case when an option popped up in his mind: "Acquit Zhang Qinglian, public opinion -50, prestige -10. Luo Xingtang's favorability rating +70."
