Great Lawyer

Chapter 205 The Trial Accident ([-])

"I always distinguish between public and private in my affairs. Saying what I want is really a villain's heart." Lu Ge got up and said, "I haven't eaten until now, Mr. Ren Ge has worked hard."

When the words fell, he left.

Ren Yanhui leaned back on the chair with doubts on his face.Elder Luge's attitude is very subtle...

"My lord." His retainer came in, came to him and whispered back: "Bao Qinghecheng, I was beaten just now."

Ren Yanhui was startled, "Who beat you? Where was he beaten?"

"He just came out from Master Wu of Dali Temple. When he passed the alley outside the side door, someone put a black cloth bag around his head. When he was found, he was lying in the snow."

"Sent to the hospital, the injury is not serious, but the face is swollen beyond recognition."

Was beaten when he came out of Dali Temple?Ren Yanhui asked: "What does Master Wu say?"

The doorman relayed Mr. Wu's words, and Ren Yanhui said: "Great opportunity. Let Mr. Wu quickly write down the memorial, and report this matter to the Holy Majesty. You must write clearly about Qian Shilang asking He Cheng to change the sentence."

"But my lord, He Cheng also gave your letter to Qian Shilang. Could this be Luge's old game?"

Ren Yanhui sneered, "No matter what the situation is, the Holy Majesty will not believe it." He used his plan and pushed the matter to the elder Lu Ge.

"It's not wronging them. This matter must have something to do with Lu Ge."

The diners should go to inform Mr. Wu, and Mr. Wu will immediately enter the palace to ask for a performance.

……

He Cheng was in pain and angry, until now he seemed to be in a fog.

But this matter caused an uproar because He Cheng was the presiding magistrate of Ma Yuniang's case.

"This matter is very likely to be done by people from Luge's side. I heard that Qian Shilang asked him to change the sentence, but He Cheng disagreed, so he turned around and went to Dali Temple to talk to Master Wu about it."

"So, Qian Shilang is so angry that he wants someone to beat He Cheng?"

"Since Qian Shilang is a civil servant, he shouldn't do such a thing, right?"

"Who knows, I heard that because of this case, Qian Shilang and Mr. Wu had a fierce quarrel in the Golden Luan Hall, and it was An Guogong who mediated. This matter seems irrelevant, but there is another thing behind it that everyone doesn't know. The deceased, Li Zhi, was a disciple of Elder Ren Ge, and I heard that he was highly valued by Elder Ren Ge, and he will be transferred back to Beijing in a few years."

"So that's the case. I'll just say why the two elders paid so much attention to a case."

Everyone was discussing, He Cheng entered the palace with black and purple eye circles and swollen cheeks, like purple sweet potato steamed buns with soaked hair.

He was dumbfounded as soon as he entered.

Qian Shilang from the Ministry of Punishment and Master Wu, Minister of Dali Temple, were both there. It was obvious that the two had just had a quarrel.

He suddenly felt bad.

He went in and worshiped tremblingly. He didn't dare to lift his head, so he heard Zhao Yu ask, "Are you He Cheng, the county magistrate of Baoqing?"

"That's right." He Cheng replied.

Zhao Yu didn't like He Cheng very much. He was a double-faced man who had both sides, and said, "Mr. Qian forced you to revise the verdict?"

Cold sweat broke out suddenly, and he stammered: "Yes... yes."

Zhao Yu's complexion suddenly turned cold, and he looked at Qian Shilang.

Qian Shilang was not in a hurry, and replied: "My lord, I just asked him to revise the verdict, not to change it. Yesterday, I also revised it once. This person is extremely incompetent, and even a few sentences of the verdict are ambiguous. Unsatisfactory."

"Presumably, his ability to write judgments is poor, and his comprehension ability is not very good, so he misunderstood the meaning of Weichen."

He Cheng could hardly kneel... How did things turn out like this?What went wrong?

"He was born as a Jinshi, how can he fail to understand the meaning of your brief words." Wu Daren said: "You just want to evade the fact of beating someone."

Qian Shilang looked sideways at Master Wu, and was about to speak when Zhao Yu coughed and said angrily, "I'll leave the matter of He Cheng's beating to the government office to investigate. The two of you are really disrespectful today. Arguing endlessly in front of you."

"Don't ask the reason, for what you two did today, I will fine you two with three months' salary." Zhao Yu finished speaking, waved his hands and said, "It's a big deal to make a fuss if you come back to tell me if there is a result of this matter."

The three people in the hall had to say goodbye and leave.

Zhao Yu said angrily: "Although the case is not small, it is not enough for a third-rank official to quarrel like a woman in front of me. I really don't see it."

"Your Majesty calm down, the two adults are not necessarily for this case." Xue Yong said.

Zhao Yu knew very well in his heart, "Isn't it because Li Zhi is the disciple of Mr. Ren Ge, and the two sides are competing with each other."

"The sage is wise." Xue Yin said.

Zhao Yu rubbed his forehead and said, "Hurry up and finish this case. So many things have been caused before it even started. They even hit people."

Whether it was setting the blame or hitting someone, Zhao Yu had no interest in guessing what Qian Shilang and Master Wu were thinking, so they were punished equally.

He Cheng left with Master Wu and Qian Shilang, and followed behind them. The three of them didn't speak. When they got out of the palace gate, Qian Shilang looked back at Li Zhi, and said calmly: "The road is slippery in snowy days. , Mr. He, you can walk slowly, lest you fall and bump into someone who will complain again, saying that I have harmed you."

Said, walked away.

He Cheng wanted to explain, but he was already far away, so he had to look towards Master Wu.

Master Wu didn't even look at him, and went straight back to Dali Temple after leaving the house.

He Cheng stood in the cold wind, his whole body was icy cold... It was obvious that he had somehow offended Qian Shilang and Master Wu.

It's just the two of them, but there are two parties behind them.

In the future, it is his luck that he can die of old age at the seventh rank. I am afraid... I am afraid that his official career may be cut off.

He Cheng went back dejectedly, the attendant he brought helped him to sit down, and gave him the medicine to drink, "My lord, who do you think will hit you?"

"I don't know, and I can't guess." He Cheng recalled that at that time, before he could see clearly, his head was covered by a sack, and the other party didn't hit him, but hit him on the face.

"Speaking of which, why has Du Jiuyan been quiet for the past two days? Has he been in the inn?" He Cheng asked.

Chang Sui replied: "Yes, after seeing Elder Ren Ge and being rejected, he never came out again."

"Strange." He Cheng felt strange. He thought that after Du Jiuyan entered Beijing, he would definitely jump up and down, but now not only she, but even Guo Ting has not made it.

On the contrary, the Lu and Ren parties were at loggerheads, and he became frustrated.

Du Jiuyan, the accused lawyer, has no sense of existence at all, and no one pays attention.

"My lord, what do you think will be the final outcome of this case?" Chang Sui asked, "Maintain the original sentence, or give it a light sentence?"

He Cheng's heart is not sure now, he always feels that Du Jiuyan will definitely do something... After contacting him, he is convinced that Du Jiuyan is a person who will not give up until he achieves his goal.

"It's fate." He Cheng said.

Since he entered Beijing, everything has been out of his control in the past two days, and he has no ability to predict and judge.

……

General Ye Shi, King Gui turned over and turned over again.

He simply sat up, opened a crack in the door and looked outside, the yard was quiet, not to mention people, not even a single mouse.

"Then, did you get scared silly by the high-ranking officials in the capital?" King Gui said, "Abandon the case?"

No, it's impossible for a person like her to give up.

Then why don't you come and ask him?He will be promoted tomorrow, and the three divisions will have a joint trial.

She is so sure that his case will definitely win?
"Don't come begging me, let's see how you cry tomorrow." King Gui slammed the door shut, snorted and lay back on the bed, "The status is low, no matter how eloquent it is, it's useless."

"I thought I was the county magistrate in Shaoyang yamen, so I let you!" King Gui muttered, stayed up all night, and went to Dali Temple the next morning, waiting to see a joke.

The presiding judge of the third division came under pressure, and it was just right not too early or too late.

As soon as the three people came in, they saw that in the lobby, King Gui was already sitting on the first seat. The three people stepped forward to salute in a daze. Qian Shilang said, "My lord, are you... here to hear the trial?"

"Master is fine today, so come join in the fun." King Gui looked at the three of them, "You should interrogate the three of them carefully, don't cheat and play tricks, and be careful that I will ask my brother to fine your salaries again."

The three should be, Wu Daren said: "I definitely dare not."

"Sit down, sit down." King Gui waved his hands impatiently, and the three presiding judges looked dazed. It was the first time Qian Shilang and Mr. Wu hadn't quarreled, and they winked at each other, and asked someone to bring the table and chair over again.

The joint trial of the three divisions turned into four people and four tables, forming a half circle.

It's like the court meeting before.

But they all know King Gui's temperament, even if you hint, he won't understand, so they just let him go... As long as he stays in the capital and doesn't drag the flag to rebel and cause chaos for the court, other small troubles, the court All officials can bear it.

After all, the result and degree of causing chaos and rebellion are completely different.

King Gui pointed to the guard, "I'm cold, go and heat up the earth dragon."

The guard should be frightened, go down and order.

King Gui fell on the chair, touched a handful of sunflower seeds from nowhere, and chewed them.

The three presiding judges each pretended to be busy, looking down at the files.

He Cheng came in wearing an official hat, with his head bowed and concealed. Everyone looked at his face and suppressed their laughter.

"Pig head." King Gui pointed at He Cheng, "Stand aside, it's blocking me."

He Cheng didn't dare not listen, and stepped back and stood beside him.

"My lord, it's time." The guard came up to remind.

Master Wu said: "Bring Ma Yuniang up and be promoted!"

Ma Yuniang was brought to the hall, everyone waited for a while, Qian Shilang asked: "Ma Yuniang, where is your litigator?"

"The criminal woman doesn't know." Ma Yuniang replied.

Master Wu snorted coldly, "What does it look like, a litigator is even late for the court!"

"Wait a little longer." Qian Shilang said, pointing to the guard, "Go out and have a look. If you don't come, go to the inn where she lives."

The officer should have left, and after waiting for two cups of tea, he ran back sweating, cupped his hands and said, "My lord... Ma Yuniang's lawyer is missing."

"Missing?"

Qian Shilang was about to speak, but someone had already spoken in front of him.

"Where's her family, didn't the inn ask?" King Gui asked.

The guard cupped his hands and replied, "His family members are looking for him. There is also his son, who is sitting at the door and crying, saying that he hasn't come back since he went out last night. They have been searching all night."

"The villain also kept an eye out and asked the owner of the inn, and the owner also said that they have been looking for someone since last night."

"We're all guessing that someone might have been arrested."

Everyone looked at each other, and Qian Shilang looked at Master Wu and sneered, "Master Wu, you don't know about this?"

"Lord Qian, please be responsible for what you say in court," Wu Daren said humanely.

He got it!King Gui suddenly got up, looked at the three adults who were presiding over the trial, glanced at him with disdain, and warned: "You three, whoever arrested the litigator, honestly go to my brother and explain. Otherwise, the Lord will let you It's all explained."

The complexions of the three people changed drastically, Lord Wu cupped his hands and said: "My lord, only this humble minister knows about this matter, not to mention, how could this humble minister arrest a litigator?"

"Yes." Qian Shilang said: "I won't do this, but I don't know if Mr. Wu will."

Mr. Wu was about to speak with hidden anger, when King Gui said, "Who are you fooling? If you fight, you fight, isn't it just a case? As for making it like this."

"How pitiful is Ma Yuniang, why don't you let people live?" King Gui knocked on the table and said, "I don't care about the case, but the behavior of kidnapping a lawyer is too bad. This king will severely condemn you."

"Retire!" King Gui said, "What is the trial of the third judge? Go to the imperial study to talk to my brother."

As he said that, he walked a few steps and looked at Ma Yuniang, "Follow me, I've decided for you."

As he said that, he swayed with his hands behind his back and took Ma Yuniang to the palace.

　The little goblin felt that he understood the meaning of Master Jiu's disappearance and was happy about it, so he wisely began to cooperate with Master Jiu.

　　Look, we didn't even discuss it, I understand what you mean, it's simply the best partner.

　　Guess what?
