Mixing ancient times with Taobao

Chapter 174 Public Trial

A crack finally appeared on Li Fan's plain face.

He never imagined that the Wangfu Conference would have such a scheming plan, that there would be hidden dangers in a private reconciliation document, and it had been hidden for 20 years, and it was not released until this time.

He was silent for a long time before he said: "The family ugliness must not be publicized."

"So, it's true that you beat someone to death?"

"It's not too much for her to commit such a scandal. Now I have saved her reputation and finally returned 20 taels to her family. What else can I do?"

"absurd!"

Zuo Fu patted the gavel, and said: "Your son is a filial son, but he insulted his father and aunt, he is the one who deserves to die! Besides, the state owns the state law, and the family has family rules. Whoever tells you that a woman makes a mistake can be left alone." You punished?!"

"It's been like this for thousands of years, do you have any opinions?"

"I only know the laws of the country, but I don't know the rules of your clan for thousands of years! What is the law of the country?! The rules of the country! What is the country?! The world! Is the world big, or your Li family's patriarchal law?! This official is today Putting the words here, under the rule of this official, no patriarchal clan can override the national law! Debts are paid for money, murders are paid for lives, whoever kills will have to pay the price!"

"Your Excellency, judging me in this way is in accordance with the law of the country?"

Li Xuan sneered, "I'm not a commoner..."

"How many times do you want me to say it?"

Zuo Fu held up the imperial decree, "My current power depends entirely on the Son of Heaven. Since the Son of Heaven has granted me the power of administration and military affairs, and the right to do things cheaply, if someone sues you, Juren, I will rule you myself!"

After finishing speaking, he looked at Wang Fudao again: "Wang Fuda, do you know who ordered someone to beat your daughter to death?!"

As he spoke, he patted the gavel and said: "Yamen court, a sacred place, every word you say will be recorded, and you must not add embellishments for personal gain! You must ensure that every word is true, do you understand? "

"My lord, I dare not talk nonsense!"

Wang Fu kowtowed, "The old man has endured it for so many years, just waiting for a blue sky, I beg the master to make the decision!"

He kowtowed a few times, and then cried: "Little old man made many inquiries. Later, a woman next door went to work in Li's house. She helped the villain to inquire about it. Later, I heard about it from a man named Wei Si. , it was Li Xuan who ordered the little girl to be beaten to death, and the two men who did it were called Pang Wu and Li Shan."

"Who is this Wei Si?"

"Returning to your lord, Wei Si is the one who does rough work in the yard of the eldest son of the Li family. Pang Wu and Li Shan are the ones who specialize in doing dirty work in the yard."

"Are they there?"

"exist!"

"Point out the person!"

"Wang Fuda!"

Li Fan suddenly yelled, "You bastard, if you dare to bite recklessly, I will make you die!"

"presumptuous!"

Zuo Fu slapped the gavel, "How dare the court threaten the sufferer? Mr. Li, do you know how honest you are if you have to beat me up in front of the people?! Wang Fuda! Don't be afraid, This officer will decide for you today!"

"Yes, my lord!"

Wang Fuda got up and said to Li Chan: "The old man believes in the Lord Qingtian! You shameless person, you will pay for Sanniang's life!"

Li Xiang stepped forward and led Wang Fuda to the dog cage, "Old man, this way please."

"Thank you, sir."

Wang Fuda went straight to the last few dog cages, pointed to the cages and said, "This is Wei Si, this is Pang Wu, and this is Li Shan."

"you sure?"

"Grassman is sure."

"Bring people up."

Li Xiang opened the dog cage, dragged the crying people out, and dragged them to the temporary court, Zuo Fu asked, "Which one is Wei Si?"

Wei Si was so frightened that he kowtowed repeatedly, "My lord, spare my life, my lord, spare my life! The little one is just pouring Yexiang in the eldest son's courtyard. His hands are dirty, but his heart is clean, and he has never done anything wrong!"

"A talkative thing!"

Li Ke grabbed the dog cage and yelled, "The dog has eaten your conscience, how dare you fool around with your mother-in-law!"

"I didn't, I didn't!"

Wei Si was so frightened that he almost peed, "The woman from Wang's Lane is so much older than me, how can I fool around with her?! It's just, just..."

"Just what?"

Zuo Fu asked: "You have done nothing wrong, and I will not hold you back. After the interrogation is clear, I will let you go."

"Things that have sold themselves have betrayed their masters, is there still a way out?"

Li Fan laughed loudly, "Since you want to punish me, why should you pretend to be here? Just kill the old man."

"If you break the law, it is the national law that governs you. I am just the executor of the national law."

Zuo Fu said indifferently: "Nowadays there is a lack of people to work in the city, and Wei Si left your house, maybe life will be better. Wei Si, you don't have to be afraid, you will make arrangements for your own livelihood in the future, so don't worry. .”

"Big, my lord..."

Wei Si said with a sad face, "I didn't betray the Lord. It's just that Mrs. Qian from Wang's Lane was very kind to the villain. It reminded the villain of his old mother who passed away early, so he felt a little more close. What I said that day , is also unintentional..."

He looked at Li Fan while talking, and when Li Fan looked over, he hurriedly lowered his head, squirmed his lips and dared not speak any more.

"In this way, you did say what Li Chan ordered to kill the third wife of the Wang family?"

"Sir, I..."

"Snapped!"

Zuo Fu knocked on the gavel, "If you have something to say, why are you hesitating in the courtroom?! When you are in this position, do you still expect that the Li family will not hate you? Look at your young master, I'm going to eat you! Since the Li family can't be trusted, why not rely on your own conscience?! If a person is kind, he will have God's help! You don't believe what I say?"

Wei Si was very tangled.

The Li family is powerful, even if the magistrate has evidence, can he still kill Li Xuan?If they don't die, wouldn't it be bad luck if he said it?

Seeing that Wei Si pursed his lips and remained silent, Zuo Fu sighed and said, "Bring Pang Wu and Li Shan here."

The two were brought up, Zuo Fu asked: "Wang Fuda said, Wei Si said that the two of you were ordered to kill the third wife of the Wang family, is this true or not?"

"My lord, Wei Si is just a lowly Yexiang slave, how can his words be trusted?"

"What? Whether a person's words are credible or not depends on what he does? According to what you say, there should be no corrupt officials in this world. If you read the sage books and become an official, but you are still corrupt, shouldn't you be cut to pieces?"

Zuo Fu snorted coldly, "You'd better tell the truth, you are not juren, it is legal for my officer to beat you to death in this hall today!"

"Is your lord going to beat him into a trick?"

Pang Wu sneered, "Then try it!"

Zuo Fu smiled, "Do you really want to try?"

Pang Wu was stunned for a moment, and didn't understand what Zuo Fu meant by this, that he wanted to use punishment?Why is the smile so weird?

On the other hand, Li Shan's eyelids were twitching. As the son of the Li family, he knew more about the inside story and had a broader vision. Seeing Zuo Fu speak like this, an instinctive sense of crisis came to her heart. What punishment shall be dealt with them?
I always feel a little bad!
