Great Lawyer

Chapter 190 The Husband and Wife Are Enemies ([-])

"Mr. Du, what's the name of that gentleman just now?" Mrs. Guo was in a daze, Du Jiuyan said: "His surname is indeed Chen, and his name is Lang."

Mrs. Guo was a little confused, she shook her head and said, "That's weird...is there anyone in this world who looks so similar?"

"I don't know if Ma'am came to see Du, what's the matter?" Du Jiuyan didn't want to inquire about his private affairs behind Chen Lang's back, whether it was his freedom or not, just like she had reservations about everyone.

There is always a place in everyone's heart that they don't want to be touched or known by anyone.

Respecting each other and leaving space for each other is the way to make friends.

"Oh." Mrs. Guo said, her eyes turned red, "I heard from my officials last time that I met Mr. Du outside Xinhua City, and he entrusted you to take care of Mrs. Li, do you remember? "

Du Jiuyan thought of Mrs. Li who had some leg problems, and nodded.

"I came here today because of her." Mrs. Guo wiped her tears and said in a low voice: "Ten days ago, she killed her husband, Mr. Li, the magistrate of the government office!"

Du Jiuyan was startled, and then connected the Madam Li she knew with Master Li, "Master Li, who was killed by Madam, is your friend's husband?"

"Exactly. Yuniang and I are both from Nanyang, and our two families live next door. Yuniang is one year older than me and has always taken care of me." Mrs. Guo said: "But she has no brothers, so she recruited her when she was 19 years old. A son-in-law came to the door, this person is Mr. Li, you...you don't know, this Li Zhi is a beast!"

Du Jiuyan vaguely felt that this case was very complicated. She interrupted Mrs. Guo and asked, "Has Mrs. Li pleaded guilty? What crime was she sentenced to?"

"I admit it... I admit it, and I was sentenced to Ling Chi." Mrs. Guo said with a heartbroken heart, "But...but she has no other choice. If she doesn't kill Li Zhi, she won't survive."

Du Jiuyan took a sip of tea, was silent for a while, and said, "Madam, you... are you here to ask me to be a litigator for Madam Li?"

"Yes!" Mrs. Guo nodded, "You are famous in Baoqing Mansion. Everyone says that you are capable, and you are also very kind to us women. You will fight for our rights, so I came to you."

"Only you can help Yuniang." Mrs. Guo stood up and saluted Du Jiuyan.

Du Jiuyan got up to avoid it, returned the salute, and said, "Ma'am, let's not talk about the cause of the case and the past grievances. Mrs. Shan Li admitted to the murder. If I go to defend the lawsuit, I will not achieve the result you want."

"Even if you make a guilty plea, it will not alleviate the crime." Du Jiuyan said.

Mrs. Guo is not an ignorant woman either. Her husband is Guo Ting. She has also seen lawsuits and disputes. She also knows how difficult this kind of murder case is, and almost no lawyer is willing to argue.

Especially if the other party is an official ordered by the imperial court, and the wife kills the husband, this kind of must be Lingchi or beheaded, and there is no need to wait for the autumn trial.

"I know, I know. But I have no choice, I can't let Yuniang die like this. It's not worth her death for that beast." Mrs. Guo said: "Mr. Du, you...you listen to me first Tell me about Yuniang, can you make a decision after hearing it?"

"Okay." Du Jiuyan pushed the teacup to Mrs. Guo. Mrs. Guo didn't drink it, but continued the previous words and said, "When Li Zhi came to Ma's house, he was a poor boy who couldn't even eat enough. Seeing how talented he is, I agreed to let him in."

"In the first few years, the relationship between the husband and wife was pretty good. Li Zhi started to study when he had food, drink and someone to serve him. At that time, Uncle Ma and I advised Yuniang not to let him study. Once he passed the exam, he would go to school again. When I look back at my status as a married woman, I will be worried about it, and it will be unfortunate for my family."

"But Yuniang said that he has ambitions. If he really passes the exam in the future, he will go to the Yamen to change his household registration. There is nothing wrong with her following Li Zhi's surname."

"Li Zhi became a Jinshi eight years later, and worked as a magistrate in a county in Shandong. The husband and wife were divided into six years. At that time, Li Zhi took a concubine privately in Shandong."

"Later, when Li Zhi was reporting his duties, he went to Baoqin's Mansion, which was a little closer to his home, to become the magistrate. In the same year, Uncle Ma passed away. Before he passed away, he repeatedly told Yuniang not to follow Li Zhi to the post, but to guard the family business. Raise two daughters."

"But Yuniang, she...she listened to Li Zhi's tricks again, and after a year later, she sold the family's property and distributed some of it to her two daughters, and then brought a few servants to Baoqing. This way..." Mrs. Guo burst into tears, "Li Zhi first changed his household registration and asked Yuniang to take his surname as Li Ma's. He also felt that Yuniang had not passed on the Li family to his family, so he forced Yuniang to agree, and gave him two more concubines. room."

"That's not enough. He said that when he was married in the Ma Mansion, and the servants of the Ma Mansion insulted him, he couldn't hold his head up for many years. So he took revenge on Yu Niang and asked... Yu Niang to serve tea and water for him and his concubine. Worse than having Yuniang watch over his bed at night."

"As long as Yu Niang disagrees, he will punch and kick at least, and boil water and iron at worst. One of Yu Niang's legs is because of his beating, and the bone has been cracked and deformed, and she can no longer walk normally."

"That's not counting. Not only did she beat Yuniang, but she also took the mother Qiao and the four maids that Yuniang brought. He beat him when he was angry. Jin Yi was smashed to death by him the year before last. The two wives he married successively The concubine hadn't given birth for two years, so he brought back a woman from a brothel."

"That woman is domineering, and treats Yuniang as a maid." Mrs. Guo cried, "Ten days ago, he didn't know where he was wronged. I went to pour the chicken soup on Yuniang, but Mother Qiao held Yuniang in her arms to stop her, and the pot of soup poured down from the top of Mother Qiao's head, and Mother Lu peeled off a layer of skin at that time, and went there at night."

"Yu Niang couldn't stand the nanny's tragic death for a while, so she strangled Li Zhi to death that night while Li Zhi was asleep."

Mrs. Guo looked at Du Jiuyan, "Mr. Du... shouldn't such a person deserve to die? He has done so many evil things, why is Yuniang beheaded after killing him? He deserves to die, he deserves to die thousands of times !"

"Mashi is not the law, not the executioner's knife, she can't judge anyone's life or death." Du Jiuyan handed the tea to Mrs. Guo, and Mrs. Guo took a sip and looked at Du Jiuyan expectantly, "Could it be... Is it not possible at all?"

"Does Yuniang have to die?" Mrs. Guo asked.

Du Jiuyan took a sip of tea himself.In the era when the three cardinal guides and five constant rules regard the husband as the heaven, she can guess without reading the verdict that it must be reprimanding Ma Shi for killing her husband, which is a heinous crime that cannot be tolerated by heaven and earth.What's more, what she killed was a court official.

In this case, Ling Chi must be sentenced.

"I can go to Baoqing to meet Mrs. Ma, and then look at the files of the county government. It has been ten days and the files have probably been sent away. It will be very difficult to reverse the case and retry."

"Let... let my husband deal with it, as long as Mr. Du is willing, I will send a letter to my husband." Mrs. Guo said: "He may not be able to intervene in other matters, but let the criminal department hold the case for three to five days It will definitely work."

"Okay!" Du Jiuyan said: "You write a letter to Mr. Guo, and I will go to Baoqing today. But Madam, you cannot be the petitioner, and Ma's two daughters and son-in-laws are required to write the complaint."

Mrs. Guo nodded, "Okay, okay! I will go to Baoqing early tonight, and I will wait for you at the gate of Li Mansion tomorrow morning."

"Okay!" Du Jiuyan nodded, "I'll prepare as well."

Mrs. Guo saluted, and after walking a few steps, she remembered something. She took the purse from her mother-in-law and handed it to Du Jiuyan, "Mr. Du, this is part of the legal fees. Please go. I know this kind of Accepting the case is actually a bad thing for you, you won’t win if you win, and your reputation will be affected if you lose, but... But if you don’t come to me, I really can’t think of anyone who is more confident.”

Du Jiuyan didn't answer, and said: "After reading the file and seeing Mrs. Ma, I'll decide whether to accept the case or not, and then I'll talk to you about the legal costs."

"Okay!" Mrs. Guo understood that a great litigator like Du Jiuyan has his own set of requirements and principles for accepting cases, "I'm leaving."

Du Jiuyan sent Mrs. Guo to the door.

Chen Lang frowned and said: "It sounds very tragic, but murder is murder after all, and there is no injustice. If you argue this case, I'm afraid it will be very difficult."

"For Mr. Guo's face." Du Jiuyan said: "When people walk in the rivers and lakes, there are always favors between them. In this way, the favor owed to me by Mr. Guo is still unclear."

There are too many poor people in this world, and those who kill people always have their own difficulties and reasons.If it was just a story, Du Jiuyan sympathized with Ma Yuniang, but if she came to take up the lawsuit and defend Ma Yuniang, her views would be more conservative.

"You." Chen Lang said: "Knife mouth tofu heart."

Du Jiuyan raised his eyebrows, "Mister's words are becoming more and more sharp."

Chen Lang smiled helplessly.

Neither of them mentioned Chen Huai'an that Mrs. Guo just mentioned.

In the afternoon, Du Jiuyan packed up and went to Yan's Mansion.

Mrs. Liu, dressed in filial piety, greeted him at the door of Ruyi Gate, "Mr. Du."

Liu's complexion was rosy, and even the wrinkles on his face seemed to be less, and he looked a little girly.

"How is Madam?" Du Jiuyan cupped his hands.

Mrs. Liu nodded, and said: "Thanks to Mr., I'm doing well. It's just that there are more relatives at home, and I'm a little tired."

Yan Zhi only has one son, Yan Changtian, but he himself has brothers and sisters who separated.So now that one of the father and son is dead and the other is about to die, the ghosts and ghosts of the Yan family appear in an instant.

Liu's is not a cheap lamp either, since she has taken this step, she has thought about all the situations.

She has a son who is not afraid of anything.

"Congratulations then." Du Jiuyan said, "I'm here because I want to ask Madam for help!"

Mrs. Liu nodded, "Mr. Du has something to do, just say it."

"Yan Zhi's things are still there. I want the correspondence between him and the government office Li Zhi."

Thousands of miles away, the Ministry of Criminal Justice received a case sent by the Baoqing Mansion in a hurry. The nature of the case was so bad that it immediately caused a big stir in the court.

Because Mr. Li is a fifth-rank official, his achievements are repeatedly evaluated, and although he is released to the outside world, his future prospects are limitless. The most important thing is that he was a member of Ren Yanhui, a scholar of the Cabinet of Martial Arts Hall.

Therefore, the incident was further fueled and became a topic of discussion among the ministers.

At this moment, in the imperial study room, King Gui was reclining on the chair, half-closed his eyes and was drowsy.

Guo Ting knelt in the middle and reported to Zhao Yu what happened on the road one by one.

Zhao Yu is twenty-eight years old this year, and his skin is not fair, and his facial features are regular. Because he was established as a prince since he was a child, and he has been on the throne for many years, a person who has been in the position for a long time is dignified all over his body, with an aura of authority without anger.

After listening to Guo Ting's words with fixed eyebrows, he turned his eyes to King Gui from the corner of his eyes, and saw that the other party was dozing off, looking heartless, and couldn't help sighing, "Your Brother!"

"Yeah." King Gui opened his eyes and glanced at Zhao Yu, "Are you finished? Then I'll go to pay my respects to my mother. I'm very tired along the way, and I have boils on my back."

Zhao Yu couldn't laugh or cry, "It's early winter, why do you have boils?"

　The goblin has appeared, and there will be him tomorrow!Before experiencing the case, first follow the little fairy to get to know the emperor and queen mother!
