Great Lawyer

Chapter 482 Arguing in Court ([-])

In the tenth year of Shuntian, the first case that the government office opened to hear.Before the Shangyuan Festival, many people were still idle, so many people who heard the lawsuit gathered in front of the government office early in the morning.

"This year is really not peaceful. There are so many things happening in one festival."

"No, I just went back to my hometown in Shandong. I heard so many things when I came back. Several women died. This is another one."

"Why are there so many villains now?"

"Hush, don't talk, Mr. Du is out."

"Why didn't Mr. Du go through the gate today? We didn't even see when he went in."

"Don't talk, where did you come up with such an idea, be quiet!"

Everyone quieted down.

In the courtroom, Qi Daiqing patted the gavel and said, "Take the prisoner Xu Tian!"

Xu Tian was brought up, and several witnesses were waiting in the rear yamen.

Du Jiuyan and He Feng stood by each other.

Standing behind Du Jiuyan today is Zhou Xiao, who is holding the things Du Jiuyan wants to use.

"Du Jiuyan, you are the plaintiff, why don't you tell me first?" Qi Daiqing said.

Du Jiuyan saluted everyone and said: "On the afternoon of the fifth day of the lunar new year, Xu Tian, ​​a villager in Xu Village, pulled up and beat his wife, Mrs. Wang, who was washing clothes in the pond at the entrance of the village because of financial disputes at the village entrance. In front of the villagers, not only did he beat his wife, Mrs. Wang, but he also uttered nonsense and wanted to kill her."

Du Jiuyan said with a smile, "Let's say something off-topic," then walked up to Xu Tian, ​​and said, "Here's the head catcher, if you feel bad, you can beat him, beat your own wife, you're not a man!"

"Why should I beat him, he is not my wife." Xu Tian subconsciously replied.

"No, it's because you know that you can't beat a single headhunter, but you're just picking a soft persimmon. So not only are you not a man, you're also a coward."

Xu Tian said angrily, "How can you talk like that."

"There will be more ugly ones in a while, what's the matter!"

"Mr. Du, you are insulting my plaintiff. It has nothing to do with the case itself." He Feng stepped forward and said.

Du Jiuyan cupped her hands, "I just said hello, and what I said was off topic." She paused and said loudly: "The above is my opinion on this person, and it has nothing to do with this case. .”

Someone outside screamed and shouted: "Yes, it's a coward, not a man."

"It feels the same!" Du Jiuyan smiled and cupped his hands with the speaker, and continued: "Come back to business, that night Xu Tian went to drink at the home of his friend Xu Dali from the same village. After drinking all night, Xu Tian went out of the latrine in the middle of the night. According to what he said, he went for about half a stick of incense, and Xu Tian himself did not deny that."

"My lord, I call for witnesses on this point."

Qi Daiqing said: "Tell me!"

Xu Dali and Xu Chao were passed on, and Xu Dali recounted the drinking of the three of them that night, "...Because it was late at night, Xu Chao and I also slept for a while, then took a nap and woke up. It took a while for Xu Tian to come back."

"I saw mud on his shoes and asked him where he had been. He said he hadn't gone anywhere and just squatted in the corner of the room and fell asleep."

"Then he said unlucky, took off his shoes and socks and put them on the edge of the stove to warm up."

Du Jiuyan nodded, and asked again: "You said just now that the three of you play Pai Gow, whoever loses will be invited to drink the next day, so who will lose the most?"

"Xu Tian lost the most." Xu Dali said.

Xu Chao nodded, "We also said that beating his wife is unlucky and his hands stink."

"Xu Tian, ​​do you agree with what they said?" Du Jiuyan asked.

Xu Tian nodded, "Yes, there is nothing wrong with that, but I really fell asleep in the corner of the room." Xu Tian said.

"Squatting in the corner of the room and falling asleep." After Du Jiuyan finished speaking, someone outside the door immediately said, "Isn't this a lie? In the middle of the night, dripping water turns into ice, and it can freeze into lumps after a while outside."

"Yeah, I slept outside in the middle of the night, and my shoes were still wet in the mud." Du Jiuyan walked with his hands behind his back and asked, "Xu Tian, ​​where did your shoes get wet?"

Xu Tian said: "It's right behind the house. At that time, I was in a daze and stepped into the muddy water."

"But there is no mud pit at all behind the house." Du Jiuyan asked, "Do you have any witnesses?"

Xu Tian shook his head, "It was the middle of the night, how could there be people outside."

Du Jiuyan said that he would not ask him anymore, but took Wu as the autopsy file, "After inspection, the time of Wang's death was between Zishi and Yinshi."

"This is the timeline. Xu Tian didn't have time to be a witness during the time when Xu Tian disappeared."

"However, he didn't admit it. He went home and killed Mrs. Wang." Du Jiuyan said, "Then what did he do with this stick of incense?"

Xu Tian said: "I fell asleep!"

"Xu Tian!" He Feng reminded him, "Don't interrupt."

Du Jiuyan said: "My lord, I want to summon Xu Tian's daughter Xu Hong to testify in court."

"Mr. Du," He Feng said, "That is an eight-year-old child, and he cannot testify in court."

Du Jiuyan said: "It doesn't matter, we will just listen to what she has to say. Whether her words can be used as testimony depends entirely on Master Qi's judgment."

She said so, and He Feng had nothing to object to, because according to the law, it was impossible for Qi Daiqing to include the testimony of an eight-year-old child in the file.

"Then pass it up and listen to it." Qi Daiqing said.

Xu Hong was brought up and stood timidly in the courtroom. When Xu Tian turned her head, she jumped up in fright and hid behind Du Jiuyan without daring to move.

"Don't be afraid." Du Jiuyan pulled her forward, "Tell everyone, what did you see that night?"

Qi Daiqing nodded and said: "With my official here, no one can do anything to you."

"Damn girl." Xu Tian murmured in a low voice, not daring to shout loudly.

Xu Hong twisted the corner of her clothes, and said in a low voice: "My mother would go to the kitchen every day after my brother and I fell asleep to cook porridge, and cook the porridge for the next morning, and sit in the stove to bake it Hona soles, so I don't know when she's sleeping."

"I don't know when my mother fell asleep, but I slept soundly. I heard a slap. I opened my eyes in fright, and saw my father pulling my mother's hair and scolding him, and then pulling her go out."

"My mother begged him, but he didn't listen at all, and dragged my mother out smelling of alcohol."

"I was so scared that I hid under the quilt and didn't dare to move. Later, when my grandfather heard the movement, he also came out, stood in the yard and yelled."

"Then...then my father wanted to drag my mother out of the yard, and I don't know what happened after that."

After Xu Hong finished speaking, Xu Tian yelled loudly, his eyes tearing apart, "You son of a bitch who loses money, you actually open your eyes and talk nonsense!"

"I, I don't." Xu Hong shook her head, "I really don't."

Qi Daiqing frowned, "Did your grandfather come out and see?"

"Yes! If you don't believe me, you can ask my grandfather." Xu Hong said, "My mother has been working from morning to night, and she has no time at all. She is very pitiful."

She said, crying loudly.

Du Jiuyan embraced her lightly, and handed her a handkerchief.

"My lord, I request to pass Xu Yao to the court." Du Jiuyan said.

He Feng frowned tightly, realizing that in this case, he might not even have a chance to speak.

"Biography!" Qi Daiqing said.

Immediately after Xu Liao was passed on, he knelt in the hall, and Qi Daiqing asked, "Did you see Xu Tian come home that night and drag your daughter-in-law, Mrs. Wang, out of the room?"

"No, no." Xu Liao shook his head, "My lord, you can't trust a child's words."

Qi Daiqing patted the gavel, "Xu Liao, do you know whether you say it or not, Xu Tian's crime is a foregone conclusion, and this result cannot be changed. But your result is different. I will definitely hold you accountable for not reporting your knowledge. guilt."

Xu Liao was startled and looked at his son.

Xu Tian also looked at Xu Liao, shook his head, and shouted, "Father!"

"I, I, I didn't see it." Xu Lao shook his head, he was an old bone, and he died as soon as he died, but his son was the pillar of the family.

Xu Tian breathed a sigh of relief.

"Xu Liao," Du Jiuyan said, "You may not have heard what your lord said just now, and you can't change the fact that Xu Tian killed someone whether you say it or not."

She paused, and said to Qi Daiqing: "My lord, it's understandable that the relationship between father and son is difficult to choose. It's better to give him some time to think about it, and the student continued."

"You say." Qi Daiqing said.

Du Jiuyan took out a button from the scribe's hand, "This button was found in the deceased Wang's room. Judging from the color of the section, the button is new."

"Judging from where it fell, it is only possible that the murderer dropped it when he dragged Wang out of the house."

As she spoke, she returned the button, glanced at He Feng, paused and said: "There is one more important thing, the crime happened at night, Xu Tian's family was sleeping, the gate of the courtyard and the door of Wang's room were closed. They are all tied, if Xu Tian hadn't come back, how could Mrs. Wang open the door for a stranger in the middle of the night?!"

Everyone let out an ah, showing suddenly enlightened expressions.

"Yeah, in the middle of the night, if her man hadn't come back, how could she have opened the door."

"That's right, this can prove that Xu Tian is the murderer." The people outside hearing the lawsuit said.

Qi Daiqing nodded and said, "This argument makes sense."

Xu Tian's face turned pale, and he shouted, "She, can't she open the door for her wild man?"

"Who is the wild man?" Du Jiuyan asked.

Xu Tian stared blankly at He Feng.

He Feng didn't speak, but listened seriously with his sleeves rolled up.

"Since there is no one, then I will continue," Du Jiuyan said, "Let's talk about the mud on Xu Tian's shoe upper."

Du Jiuyan brought up Xu Tian's shoes, "The mud around Xu Village is slightly yellow with a little sand, but the mud on his shoes is black mud, which is only found by the pond. "

"So," she suddenly knelt down and looked at Xu Bao, "I'm going to finish, have you considered it? Actually, whether you say it or not won't affect me, but it will affect yourself."

Xu Liao looked at Xu Tian, ​​and Xu Tian also looked at Xu Liao.
