The first prince of Song Dynasty

Chapter 1945 I Testify

"Chen, minister, I will definitely handle this matter impartially, please rest assured, Your Majesty, please rest assured, Your Majesty."

Zhang Fushou really felt depressed. He originally came to arrange for Kong Yisheng to prepare and follow him to Mount Tai. Who would have thought that he would meet His Majesty the Emperor, and the Emperor would let him wear common people's clothes.

"No need, just follow me to see how this Yan Shenggong named by me decides the case, and you, the prefect of SD, always report good things to people but not bad things. Now something happened, you And it’s hard to escape the blame.”

Zhao Kuangyin reprimanded Zhang Fushou. As the prefect of SD, he has always reported good news to the emperor, and he never thought of saying other bad things, and the people under him did the same, and Zhao Kuangyin did not doubt it. Now No doubt, I saw it with my own eyes.

"Master Zhang, don't be afraid. I believe you are being deceived. Who would have thought that they would do this. Don't worry, father is not that unreasonable person. I will help you speak up when the time comes. Don't worry."

After Zhao Kuangyin left, Zhao Xu patted Zhang Fushou on the shoulder to comfort him. It looked funny for an old man to be patted on the shoulder by a middle-aged man, but the old man still acted like it was a matter of course. This old man was Zhang Fushou. Zhang Fushou is only in his 40s, but looks old.

"Thank you son, thank you son, thank you son." Zhang Fushou almost wanted to kneel down, but was stopped by Zhao Xu. With so many people on the street, Zhao Xu and the others didn't seem to attract attention.

"Go over and see how our county magistrate Kong settled the case. I hope he doesn't seek death." Zhao Kuangyin was already at the front, Zhao Xu and the others were at the back, and now Kong Yisheng had returned to his home. The government office is gone.

Zhao Xu and Zhao Kuangyin thought about the same thing. Let's see how Kong Yisheng handled the case.

Just at this time, the hall of the Qufu County Yamen began to be promoted, and many people were already waiting outside the hall, waiting to see how their county magistrate would handle the case. Many people knew this old man, and some had heard of it. Let's see how it's dealt with now.

"Who's in the hall?" Kong Yisheng was really serious about it. He slapped the gavel and started to ask about the case. The efficiency was really high. He started the trial as soon as the case came. If you really do things for the people, then you are really a good official.

Everything came according to the procedure, and there was nothing out of the ordinary. The place didn't reach its climax until old man Zhang said who he was going to sue.

"The suspect you mentioned is Li Yingda, right? Do you have any evidence or witnesses? Your petition is well written, but if there is no evidence, please forgive me for not accepting it."

Kong Yisheng knew that he had no witnesses, because all the witnesses were either dead or frightened by him, who would dare to testify against him.

"Caomin himself is the witness. When Li Yingda snatched the little girl, Caomin was right beside him, so Caomin is the witness. My lord, please make the decision for Caomin."

Did Kong Yisheng laugh after old man Zhang said this? You yourself are a witness, but this witness does not count. You are the party involved, so another person is needed.

"Then is there anything else? If it's just you, then it won't work. You are the person involved. This is suspected of false accusation. It's not that the official doesn't want to help you, it's that there is no way to help you, and it can't prove that Li Yingda forced you to death." The suspicion of your daughter, think again, is there any other witnesses?"

Kong Yisheng knew it well, he had tried it last time, and now he did it just to let the common people see that he didn't bend the law for personal gain, it was for others to see, what do you think he wanted to do.

"My lord, I know that Li Yingda is your brother-in-law, but he did kill my daughter, please make the decision for me, my lord." Old man Zhang kowtowed, of course someone taught him these words.

Anyway, he didn't intend to live. He made a final fight for knowledge. He had nothing to live for after his daughter died, so he thought of death. This was the last time he came to complain. Those people can help themselves.

"That's a good point. Although Li Yingda is my brother-in-law, the law is the law. No one can change this. As long as you can find someone who is willing to testify for you, how about a formal interrogation?"

What Kong Yisheng said seemed very reasonable, but Zhao Kuangyin frowned when he heard it. This is how Kong Yisheng tried the case, and it was really unreasonable.

Kong Yisheng seemed to show how generous he was, and said again:
"As long as anyone in the hall or outside the hall is willing to be a witness, the judge can try the case according to the procedure. Of course, he must be a real witness. Falsification will also be punished."

Kong Yisheng swept across the crowd, as long as the people who met his eyes all lowered their heads, in fact, many people in the hall did see this incident at the time, but they dared not stand up, Kong Yisheng is the biggest official here , is also the biggest rich man here, they can't afford to offend.

Friends who are dead and poor, why do we get into trouble, let's stand aside and watch the show, and some people comfort in their hearts, it's not that we don't want to help you, but that we have no way to help you, and no one wants to take their own Life is a joke.

"Look, some of these people must have seen it, because old man Zhang also said that Li Yingda was the one who robbed him directly on the street. People passing by on the street must have seen it, but none of them dared to stand up. That in itself is enough to explain the problem.”

Zhao Kuangyin shook his head helplessly when he looked at the people watching the excitement, and then he gave Zhao Xu a wink, and Zhao Xu stood up directly.

"I saw it. At that time, I saw that someone snatched the old man's daughter. I don't know the name of that person, but if I saw that person, I would definitely recognize who that person was."

Zhao Xu said swearingly, in fact, he saw what Li Yingda looked like just now. If he came out, of course he knew him. Kong Yisheng, who was happy, was stunned at this moment. He was really not afraid of death. Hey, this person Isn't he the one who came to ask himself to do something in the morning?

How could he get into this muddy water, or if he really saw what happened to Yingda at the beginning, it would be difficult to handle. They speak with a capital accent, and they seem to be rich businessmen or something.

"Young master, you have to think about it clearly. Don't give false testimony. If you give false testimony, it is a felony."
