Great Lawyer

Chapter 616 Unexpected Information ([-])

Du Jiuyan was dressed in the robes of a litigator, standing in the courtroom with his hands behind his back and smiling, saluting King Gui and Qian Yu. She brought Zhou Xiao to the court today. Before Zhou Xiao went out, she put a cloth bag around his neck. At this moment, he He was staring at the cloth bag with a gloomy face.

King Gui leaned on the chair with his legs crossed and looked very at ease.After a while, I felt a little bored, so I grabbed a handful of candied fruit, chewed slowly and drank tea.

It wasn't that he didn't want to eat melon seeds, but that Du Jiuyan ordered him not to eat them, and his voice was too loud, which affected her performance.

The quarrel was louder, why didn't I see her stuttering under the influence.

She just saw that he rested so comfortably and was jealous of him.

King Gui ate candied fruit, several varieties, with different tastes.

King Huai looked at him, King Gui glanced at him as if he didn't see it.

King Huai stood with his eyes downcast, expressionless.

"Mr. Shen." Du Jiuyan greeted Shen Daoru, "It's the second time."

This is the second time she and Shen Daoru have stood up in court to argue seriously.

Shen Daoru returned the salute, nodded and said, "I hope there will be a third time."

"Not necessarily," Du Jiuyan said: "After all, you are not young, and the last court will be one less time."

A mouthful of blood rushed out of Shen Daoru's lungs, and he coughed so angry.This kid's mouth was like a knife, he didn't even say anything about her, but she actually turned around to block him.

It really makes no sense.

"Let's get started." Qian Yu looked at Du Jiuyan, "You are the plaintiff litigator, so you speak first."

As he spoke, he glanced at Shen Daoru, remembering that Shen Daoru took the opportunity last time.

Du Jiuyan looked at Shen Daoru, "Mr. Shen, how about me first?"

"Please!" Shen Daoru wanted to take a sip of tea to calm his mind.

Du Jiuyan cupped his hands at all parties, saying: "It's really a coincidence to know the case of Prince Huai. A man named Qiao Yiguang spread rumors in the capital, so we caught him."

"Qiao Yiguang cried bitterly and asked us to make the decision for him. The reason is that his daughter and niece were killed."

"How did you die?" Du Jiuyan turned his head and pointed at the little girls outside the door, "Plug your ears, or you will have nightmares."

The children who followed the family were all blocked by the elders.

"The bodies were found in Maoshan outside the city of Ji'an. Eight or nine-year-old girls were bruised and bruised, and the most chilling thing was that they had been abused and abused before they died. Their deaths were not accidents, but It was a massacre that devoid of humanity."

"When I heard it, I was so angry that I went to Ji'an Mansion with Qiao Yiguang. I didn't know until after Ji'an that my blood was too early, because there are things that make me even more bloody."

"In Ji'an, there is a Mingyuefang. This is not a normal brothel. He usually does not open the door, and only opens it overnight every month. That night is a carnival for many people. They carry silver in their arms and have a rotten heart. , pouting man's roots, shuttling inside, doing disgusting things."

"Buying and selling young girls and young girls! They stand in front of people like goods, their mouths are stripped open to count the newly replaced baby teeth, their waists are pinched to measure whether their bones are well-proportioned, their legs are split apart to see if they are intact... ..."

"Girls, the younger one is eight years old and the older one is 17 years old. They are afraid, terrified, and trembling... Their value is that after these people evaluate them, they are bought back at a price of ten taels or 1 taels for their own entertainment and venting." wild desire."

There was a commotion outside the door, and someone scolded: "Beast!"

"I can't bear to repeat more things. This will only increase the pain of the victim." Du Jiuyan said: "The pain of the victim will be with him for a lifetime, but the culprit of all these things must be at ease and be taken care of by others." To support peace and live until death?"

"Don't talk about laws, even in ancient times, there were princes who broke the law and committed the same crime as the people, not to mention the great Zhou Dynasty in the prosperous and prosperous civilization and progress."

"That's right," Du Jiuyan and Qian Yu said, "My lord, please follow the law and decide that Prince Huai should be executed!"

As she spoke, she stepped aside calmly.

Shen Daoru raised his eyebrows, he didn't expect that Du Jiuyan only said so few words, which surprised him.

Qian Yu was also slightly taken aback. Du Jiuyan usually narrates the case from beginning to end, full of emotions, which drives the audience to be thrilled or angry.

"Shen Daoru," Qian Yu gestured to Shen Daoru, "tell me."

Shen Daoru glanced at Du Jiuyan, who was looking at her with a smile on his face, calm.

"My lord." Shen Daoru took a step forward and took out a stack of files from the assistant student, "Mr. Du didn't elaborate on the various crimes of Lord Huai. From the student's point of view, it's not that she didn't want to say more. , but she can't speak deeply."

"Although the students did not come to Ji'an to investigate the case of King Huai, Prince Gui and Mr. Du are careful in their work. All the archived files list every person involved in the case and what they committed, so that the audience can clearly see it at a glance."

"Let's talk about the first thing first." Shen Daoru walked up to King Huai and asked, "Lord Huai, may I ask you a question, in what year did you entrust yourself to Ji'an?"

King Huai replied, "The end of the third year of Shuntian."

Although King Huai is guilty, but he is a vassal king, so he doesn't have to kneel in court for trial.

"Three years in Shuntian, it has been more than six years and nearly seven years." Shen Daoru held up the first file, "This one is the achievements of Prince Huai when he first went to Ji'an. He exempted farmland miscellaneous taxes and tea taxes. , fishery tax, poll tax... He supported the opening of two academies, he repaired the Ji'an Relief House, and he also arranged residences for [-] lonely old people without children and children in and around Ji'an City, and encouraged his neighbors Help and take care of you from the right.”

"These are not fabricated. Just go to Ji'an to inquire, and you can find it as long as you look at Ji'an Zhi."

"Of course, these are all his past political achievements, which cannot prove that he has been innocent all his life and will never do anything wrong." Shen Daoru said: "What I want to say is, why would such a kind-hearted King Huai Become like this!"

Shen Daoru turned around and looked outside the door. The people outside were listening to him. It didn't matter whether he applauded or scolded his ancestors in his heart. He took out another piece of paper with words written on it, "Shun Tian Five years later, King Huai suffered from rheumatism in his arms due to years of fatigue. Every time the weather changed, he was in unbearable pain, and because of the pain, he couldn’t sleep at night, and he was on the verge of collapse and couldn’t support himself.”

"At this moment, a Taoist priest appeared." Shen Daoru showed a piece of paper, with a few strokes on the paper, recorded a person with the Taoist name "Wuwei", "Who is this person and what is his purpose? I don't know, but when Prince Huai was in despair, he gave him a suggestion to completely change his fate."

"He gave Lord Huai a pack of five stone powder. As we all know, even if you buy this kind of medicine in a pharmacy, it is like arsenic. You have to register your name and use. Ordinary people can't buy it at all, and Taoist Wuwei is no exception."

"But he brought enough five stone powder, and encouraged King Huai, who had lost his mind because of the pain, to take this medicine. Since then, King Huai would take this medicine whenever he was in pain, and gradually he couldn't do without it. In just two years, Prince Huai has changed from a noble and wise prince to a puppet completely controlled by drug captives."

"He's not himself anymore."

"And before that," Shen Daoru took out another dossier to show everyone, "he learned about the little-known Min Ranju from the Ji'an Mansion, a well-known Juren."

"Prince Huai almost visited the thatched cottage three times to invite this person to the mansion to be his staff."

Shen Daoru looked at Du Jiuyan, and Du Jiuyan was also looking at him with curiosity in his eyes, as if he was puzzled by what he was going to say next.

"On the surface, it was Prince Huai who took a fancy to Min Ranju's ability, but in fact that was not the case, rather, Min Ranju had been waiting for Prince Huai's arrival, and he had known for a long time that he would definitely come to Prince Huai's residence. "

As soon as he said this, Du Jiuyan couldn't help showing a surprised expression.She thought this way because she had met Min Ranju, and from her intuitive judgment of this man, she felt that he was definitely not an idle person, he did not seek fame and wealth, but only came out of the mountain to be the aide of King Huai after the Lord Huai visited his house three times.

She thought that Min Ranju must have tampered with it.

But time was limited, so she didn't investigate in detail.However, when Shen Daoru said this, she was very surprised.

Did Shen Daoru and Min Ranju know each other?
Du Jiuyan vaguely felt that Shen Daoru would give an answer that she couldn't figure out.

"Mr. Shen, what you said is not right," Du Jiuyan pointedly retorted, "Min Ranju is dead, and there is no proof of his death, but you should think twice about what you say."

Shen Daoru looked at her, the corners of his mouth slightly curled up, and said, "Shen has something to ask you. When you were investigating Jing Yachong's case, what conclusion did you have about his demagogy and manipulation?"

"What does this case have to do with Jing Yachong?" Du Jiuyan didn't answer him.

Everyone was taken aback when they heard this, and looked at Shen Daoru in puzzlement.I don't understand what he meant by bringing out Jing Yachong in this case.

Shen Dao Julian was a little complacent, he didn't want to talk about this matter, he planned to rot in his stomach for the rest of his life.However, now that he has accepted the case of King Huai, although the starting point is not for King Huai, since he is standing in court, he will definitely go all out.

"Jing Yachong is Min Ranju's teacher!" Shen Daoru's voice was not high, but it was like a boulder being thrown into a calm lake.

Du Jiuyan was also stunned, she couldn't help looking at King Gui.King Gui didn't know about this... To be precise, they didn't investigate Min Ranju's background in detail.

Du Jiuyan found out that even King Huai was taken aback by this matter, obviously he didn't know about it.

She suddenly understood why Shen Daoru took up this lawsuit, at least, he didn't come here entirely from nonsense.

In the back office, Zhao Yu frowned tightly and looked at the officials sitting below.

Everyone's faces were filled with unconcealable surprise, An Guogong said: "This matter... has never been investigated by anyone, we, really didn't think of it."

"Yeah." Zhao Yu frowned and said nothing, "See what he says."
