Great Lawyer

Chapter 139 The Ghost Plaintiff ([-])

"Don't be afraid, we are the soldiers of Baoqing Mansion." The leader was a hundred households under Guo Ting, named Shen Jun, he said: "These four bandits entered the village and were killed by us."

The man breathed a sigh of relief and came over with a torch. Seeing the four corpses on the ground, he heaved a sigh of relief, cupped his hands and said, "Master Jun must be tired after killing the people. Why don't you go to my house to rest for a while? I'll wake up my wife." Cook for you, eat before leaving."

Shen Jun took a look at the man. He was a handsome and upright young man with thick eyebrows, big eyes and a straight nose.

He hesitated for a moment, then pointed to the room, "Is there anyone in your house? We just came out of it."

The man froze for a moment, put the pheasants and rabbits he had hunted on his shoulders on his shoulders, and ran into the yard with big strides, and then he heard him crying in the room, "Father, mother!"

Several soldiers looked at each other in blank dismay, followed them in, and saw two corpses lying on the ground in a room, a man in his 50s, a woman of the same age, and a young woman's corpses lying on their backs on the bed , eyes wide open and fell into a pool of blood.

The three people were stabbed in the neck, and the blood was still flowing, but they were all dead.

The man knelt down and howled in pain. Four soldiers stood at the door. Shen Jun frowned and said: "Go to Shaoyang City to report to the officials. The escaped bandits should get some compensation for killing people."

His companion should be, just about to speak, suddenly another man came out from behind the four of them, standing tremblingly at the door, "You... who are you?"

"Who are you?" Shen Jun asked.

The man pointed at this house and said, "I... I'm Chen Xing'an, a friend of Miao Yi. I'm staying here for a few days."

"Inside." Shen Jun pointed to the room.

"Miao Yi." Chen Xing'an called inside.

Several soldiers let the door open, Chen Xing'an came in, saw the scene in the room, his legs went limp in fright and he fell to the ground with a thud, and said incoherently: "This... what's wrong?"

But Miao Yi suddenly stopped crying, stared at the wall and shouted, "Mother!" Then everyone saw that he was muttering something, not knowing what he was talking about.

"This..." Shen Jun was about to call him, when Miao Yi suddenly stared at Chen Xing'an.

"It's you, it's you who killed my parents, you pay them back, pay them back!"

As Miao Yi said, he rushed over and punched Chen Xing'an.

Chen Xing'an was punched several times, Si Bing came up to fight, Shen Jun said: "The bandits came in to kill people, this is a man-made disaster, what's the use of beating him."

"What bandits, why didn't the bandits kill him together!" Miao Yi jumped up, his eyes were red, and he shouted, "It's him, he killed my parents and Su Niang."

Supported by Si Bing, Chen Xing'an shook his head, his eyes were blood red.

"Okay, the people from the yamen will come in a while, and they will investigate clearly. Please calm down." Shen Jun pushed Miao Yi out.

Miao Yi walked on his knees to hug his parents, and then hugged his wife, crying and lying on the bedside, the whole person was crazy.

Shen Jun sighed.

Chen Xing'an was sitting at the door of the room wiping his nosebleed, his eyes were straight and pale, and he murmured, "How could this happen, those goddamn bandits, goddamn bandits!"

"What kind of bandit, it's not a bandit, it's you, it must be you." Miao Yi pointed at Chen Xing'an, "It was you who killed them, not a bandit. I will definitely tell the government and make you pay with your life."

Chen Xing'an whimpered, "It wasn't me, I... I just went to the latrine... I didn't do anything."

"Why are you like this? He wasn't there when we came in just now." Shen Jun said impatiently: "Your relative died, we can understand, but you can't grab anyone and just stare at them as the murderer. We are also there, Do you still think that we are also murderers?"

"He is, he must be... some kind of bandit, that's him!" Miao Yi said: "My mother told me, just now, I saw my mother standing at the door, she didn't say anything, just told me Chen Xing'an is the murderer."

"He sure is."

Several soldiers looked at each other and discussed in a low voice: "He was hit, his mind must be confused, let him have a rest, and we will talk about it when the people from the yamen come at dawn."

"Shen Baihu, what about the bandits outside?"

Shen Jun was very depressed. He was a bit dereliction of duty in this matter. After all, innocent people died.

"Drag the corpse in first, and the yamen will come to investigate. There should be more inspections." Shen Jun said, found a chair in the living room and sat down, and the group waited for dawn together.In the room, Miao Yi was babbling on and on, already delirious and muddled.

At the door of the room, Chen Xing'an's eyes were staring straight, and he was also sitting on the ground in a daze, muttering something, saying that he shouldn't go to the toilet.

……

Du Jiuyan gets up at Mao every day, which is her daily habit since she came here.After returning from Zhenyuan, the cripple taught her a set of boxing techniques and a set of sword techniques, and now she gets up early every day to practice each twenty times.

Liu Daquan entrusted someone to bring her two small scimitars, slightly longer than her palms and no wider than two fingers. The handles are made of wood and just long enough for her to hold.

It is not used on weekdays, the two sides of the knife are folded together and placed in the leather scabbard, and it is not cumbersome to hang on the waist.

Very light and easy to use, she likes it very much.

"The cripple!" Just halfway through the practice, someone knocked on the door suddenly. Du Jiuyan went to open the door, and saw a policeman he knew in the yamen, "Call the cripple to go on a business trip early in the morning?"

The catcher cupped his hands and said: "Bandits entered Miaojia Village and killed three people. It happened that Shen Baihu from Baoqing Dusi rushed to kill them all. He sent people to the yamen to report the case. The third master asked me to take A few brothers, go check it out with brother lame."

Du Jiuyan was taken aback, "A man from Yu Da?" As she spoke, the lame man got up and was fetching water to wash his face in the yard.

The little catcher quickly said: "Yes! The last four people rushed to Miaojia Village like headless flies after being chased. I didn't expect to kill three people under Shen Baihu's nose." He sighed, "This matter If it is reported, it is estimated that the credit will be yellow."

"Let's go." The lame man finished washing up, took his own knife and went out, glanced at Du Jiuyan, and said, "Do you want to go and have a look?"

"Forget it." Du Jiuyan shook his head and said, then went to practice, and the lame man closed the door and left.

In the afternoon, she heard that the bodies of the four bandits had been sent to Yizhuang for a temporary suspension, and they would be dealt with after Master Fu reported them.

As for that family, the cripple came back from a business trip to rest in Sanchitang, and said to her, "...there are two men alive, and an old couple and their daughter-in-law died."

"Two brothers alive?" Du Jiuyan felt very strange, "Killed two old men and a woman?"

The lame man briefly talked about the situation at that time, his relationship with Chen Xing'an and Miao Yi, and Du Jiuyan nodded, "The master's son went hunting in the mountains when it was dark, and the borrowed man went to the latrine with a stomachache in the middle of the night. When they came, they all escaped unharmed."

"It's hard work for the living." Du Jiuyan sighed, and could imagine the feelings of the two of them, as well as the mood of the man from the master's house when he saw a friend who was staying in his house.His parents and wife are dead, but his friend is still alive...

Anyway, I won't rush to hug my friend and say that it's good that you are not dead.

"It can't be considered that my friend killed him. His friend just went to the latrine because of his fate." Dou Rongxing frowned, "But he may also be talking nonsense, and it will be fine when he wakes up."

The lame man nodded and was about to speak when suddenly someone shouted outside the door: "Excuse me, is this the Sanchi Hall?"

The six people in the main hall looked out in unison, and saw a young man standing outside the door, dressed in sackcloth and filial piety, with red and swollen eyelids and a pale complexion, holding the door precariously, asking hoarsely: "Excuse me, where is Three feet hall?"

"Yes!" Dou Rongxing responded, and the lame man got up and walked to the door, "Miao Yi? What are you doing in Sanchitang?"

Miao Yi cupped his hands, "Hello, sir." He looked into the Sanchi hall again and asked, "Mr. Du, are you there?"

"She's here, come in and talk." The cripple turned his head and looked at Du Jiuyan. Du Jiuyan understood, invited Miao Yi to take a seat, and looked at him, "Ms. Miao is here to file a lawsuit?"

Miao Yi lowered his head and kept his fists clenched by his side, as if relying on a force to support him, otherwise he would fall down immediately, "I want to sue Chen Xing'an for killing my family."

Du Jiuyan looked at the lame man, both of them were in a daze, they were not talking nonsense, he really came to sue Chen Xing'an.

The lame man came forward and said, "Are you really suing him? But Shen Baihu can testify that the bandits killed them, and the wounds on their bodies were also wounded by their knives. What are you going to sue for?"

"I'm going to sue!" Miao Yi stared at her toes with cloudy eyes, "My mother told me that Chen Xing'an killed her. I believe my mother, she will not lie to me."

"Mr. Du." Miao Yi said: "My family is not poor, I can afford the legal fees, no matter how much money you want, I can pay."

As he said, he took out a money bag from his pocket, and poured out all the broken silver, copper coins, and bank notes in it, "Here is 410 taels of 78 Wen. Do you see if it is enough? If not, When my lawsuit is over and I sell the house, it should still be worth some money, and I will give it to you."

Seeing that Du Jiuyan didn't speak, he said again: "If it's not enough, I'll be your ox and horse for the rest of my life, and I'll be your servant to repay you."

"Why are you suing?" Qian Daoan couldn't stand it anymore, "If you say that what your mother told you before she died is okay, but you say that her soul told you, this... this is in the court, my lord Wouldn't believe it either."

Miao Yi glanced at Qian Daoan, and then stared at Du Jiuyan, "Mr. Du, everyone says you are the best. As long as the lawsuit is in your hands, you can be brought back to life, and you will definitely win."

"Help me, I'll pay you the legal fees." Miao Yi said, "I'm going to sue Chen Xing'an."

Du Jiuyan rubbed his forehead and said, "Although I'm not a yamen official, the litigator still needs to do some research before handling the case. In this way, I'll go and have a look with you. After reading it, whether I accept it or not, I will give it to you." A satisfactory explanation, you can see."

Miao Yi nodded, "Okay, okay. I'll take you to my house now, my parents and my wife are waiting for you at home."

Du Jiuyan didn't know what to say to Miao Yi, this man was a little out of his mind.She had no choice but to say to the lame man, "Walk with me again?!"

"Okay!" The cripple nodded, and Song Jiyi and Dou Rongxing followed suit, "We'll go too."

Qian Daoan and Zhou Xiao looked at each other, and they also followed the posture of going out.

"Then let's go together!" Du Jiuyan focused on comforting Miao Yi, the loss of his family overnight was indeed too great a blow.Now that someone came to her, she happened to be idle and had nothing to do, so it was nothing to appease her.

A group of people followed Miao Yi and Lame to Miao Village.

　Three more today!See you tomorrow.
