Chapter 334: Aggressive
"Ascending to the hall!"
As the gavel was taken by the applause, the halls in the large yamen were silent.
More than a dozen officials sat on both sides, and even the royal palace sent people to listen.
Cao Hua and Zhu Xie were each living on the side, holding teacups and posing for listening. But everyone knew that today's trial was just a joke, and it mainly depends on who was sitting back first.
Zhao Ting sat in the upper head, facing pressure like a rush of rush. He coughed and said:
"Mr. Wan Qin...hehe, Wan Qin, what are your grievances?"
Wan Qin trembled all over and did not dare to look up at Zhu Xie, but just lay on the ground, preparing to repeat what he had just said.
Zhu Jie put down the teacup, raised his hand gently, and showed a harmonious smile:
"Mr. Zhao, let me say a few words first... The father-in-law of Wanguo, me and Taishi Cai, have a good personal relationship and have the kindness of taking care of each other. If you have any wickedness, you can tell the truth. Although there are indeed some filth and dirty things in the Song Dynasty, it is generally a reputation. As long as you do have any wrongs, no matter who treats you badly, Taishi Cai can say a few words for you."
Wan Qin naturally understood what Zhu Xie meant, so that he would not have to be afraid of Cao Hua's tyranny. Tai Shi Cai would make decisions on the side of the Wan family.
Wan Qin hesitated for a moment. After all, Cao Hua could not fight against Grand Master Cai. As long as he seized this opportunity, things might turn around.
But Wan Qin had just wavered and before he could speak, he heard a cold voice:
"It is really unfilial for the son to sue his father. It is a rule to beat twenty boards first and then ask questions. If someone comes, he will be 20 sticks."
"promise!"
The Hei Yuwei immediately went up, grabbed the Killing Stick from the yamen runner's hand, and pressed Wan Qin, who was terrified and shook his head, to the ground, which was a "papa-" board.
Zhu Xie was furious and stood up: "Cao Hua, you are bold. Even if you use torture, you should be the judge of Lord Zhao. How can you give orders?"
The officials in the hall were silent, and Zhao Ting just lowered his head and didn't even dare to speak to smooth things over.
Cao Hua leaned on the chair, held the tea cup and pushed away the tea leaves floating on the water. Facing Zhu Jie's questioning, he didn't even raise his eyelids, but just replied lightly:
"What are you doing to me?"
"you--"
Zhu Xie's eyes were full of incredibleness, and he raised his hand to point at Cao Hua, and the veins on his forehead bulged.
The officials present were shocked when they heard the words "What are you doing to me?". Cao Taisui didn't say anything about his feelings!
But at this moment, even if they were determined to smooth things over, how dare they speak?
After two sentences, the board has been completed.
When Zhu Xie faced Cao Hua, as long as he could not suppress his power, he had no choice but to sit down:
"I will definitely report this to the Lord and see how you explain it to the Lord."
Cao Hua shook his head: "Young Master Wan made an aggrievance for the Su family, and did a good deed of sacrificing oneself for others, not forcing confessions. How could he say something wronged?
This board is because of the rule of “son suing his father” that he has to be beaten. Mr. Wan should not take it to heart.”
Wan Qin's face turned pale, and her butt was already bloody. She lay on the ground and nodded repeatedly.
But Wan Qin had already seen the brief confrontation clearly.
Master Cai can indeed protect Wan family, but he cannot protect Wan Qin.
Cao Hua insisted on killing him, even if Cai Jing stood here, there was no way, and Zhu Xie could not stop him at all.
Wan Qin obviously didn't want to die, so he lay on the ground and spoke again, his voice trembling:
"The people of the grass are Wan Qin.... I sued my father Wan Yin. Five years ago, Wan Yin spyed over the Su family's fields, used twenty sets of damaged armor, framed the Su family in Maoshanhe. The Su family suffered the unjust injustice and was searched. All the males were beheaded... I hope that all the adults will observe this matter clearly, and... more than 30 members of the Su family will be innocent!"
After the words came to a silence in the hall.
The Su family had a relatively large case back then, and most of the officials present knew about it, and some even handled it themselves.
There is indeed something strange about this case. The Su family has always been very famous and has no reason to rebel. Even if they really want to rebel, it would not be very useful to privately store twenty sets of armor. But they dare to investigate it carefully and judge it whatever they say above.
The guilt of "misjudgment" is quite serious. If what Wan Qin said is true, many people present were implicated and hesitated for a moment whether to speak.
After listening to Wan Qin's remarks quietly, Zhu Xie signaled his eyes. The head of the head of the Office, who was in charge of handling this matter, got up and asked:
"Wan Qin, you have no evidence to prove what you say is true?"
Wan Qin lowered his head and was silent for a long time. He looked up at Zhu Jie, but did not dare to speak.
Zhu Xie knew that Wan Qin didn't dare to say it, so he raised his hand straightforwardly:
"Withless words are nonsense. You can go back and think about it carefully. Don't be impulsive and ruin your father's reputation for life."
At this moment, Cao Hua put down the teacup and curled the corners of his mouth:
"Mr. Zhu, don't be too hasty. He has no evidence, I have it."
Everyone was stunned and turned to Cao Hua.
You said just now that you happened to come here to listen, and now the evidence is emerging?
No matter what everyone thought, Cao Hua clapped his palms, and Han'er brought twenty sets of rusty armor and a yellow booklet with the Black Feather Guard, and placed it in the lobby.
The head of the supervisor of the stewardship was stunned. After the case was convicted, the evidence of these crimes was naturally sealed in the warehouse of the stewardship. It had not been taken out for many years. It suddenly appeared here, which made the head of the stewardship of the stewardship a little confused:
"Governor Cao, when will these evidences of crime be brought to your hands?"
Cao Hua smiled: "Diankui is responsible for supervising the case. He happened to encounter this case and just sent someone to take it from the warehouse of the supervisor's office, but he forgot to say hello to the adults."
just?
Everyone blinked. It was only a cup of tea from entering the door. Are you sure you just got it?
Everyone was obviously a little unbelievable about Cao Hua's lies, but Dian Kuisi did have the responsibility to jointly investigate the case. He also said the evidence and took it over without saying hello. It was also Dian Kuisi's usual style, and everyone couldn't say much.
Cao Hua didn't mean to explain to them, so he stood up and pointed to the twenty pairs of armor on the ground:
"When the Hujie Army cleaned up water bandits many years ago, the Hujie Army injured more than 100 people. When the yamen runners cleaned the battlefield, they handed over more than 50 sets of Hujie Army. The rest were stored in the yamen warehouse and were specifically supervised."
After saying that, Cao Hua looked at the governor Zhao Ting:
"Mr. Zhao, is there any such thing?"
Zhao Ting immediately got out of his cold sweat and nodded:
"It's true, but once the warehouse was stolen..."
Cao Hua raised his hand to interrupt him and picked up another yellowed account book:
"Just just when his subordinates moved the evidence, they happened to find an account book in the warehouse. It clearly stated that Wan family forged new armor for Hujie Army and borrowed twenty sets of damaged armor for reference. The signature was Wan Qin, and there were only records of loan, but no returns."
"What!??"
Everyone spoke in unison, their eyes full of shock.
The reason why everyone was surprised was not what Cao Hua said, but that there was no book of this book when the case was investigated. If there were any, they would have dared to convict the Su family, and the book of this book appeared out of thin air.
Even if this book has been included, the case has been decided, and this thing should have been destroyed long ago. How could it be revealed by Cao Hua? Cao Hua is not a god. Fools know that the book was forged by Cao Hua overnight.
Cao Hua put the booklet in front of Wan Qin and smiled:
"Is this happening?"
Wan Qin sweated like rain and gritted his teeth and said, "It was indeed what I borrowed. I just acted according to my father's instructions and did not know the purpose."
Faced with Cao Hua's blatant confusing evidence of black and white, Zhu Xie did not speak anymore, but frowned and pondered.
As the chief official of the yamen, Zhao Ting felt a little embarrassed when he heard this: "Governor Cao, if these armors were loaned out by the lower officials, the lower officials would definitely know it, so..."
Cao Hua turned around and said, "Then Lord Zhao, how did these twenty sets of damaged armor run out of the warehouse by themselves?"
Zhao Ting thought for a while: "I met a group of thieves back then..."
"That group?"
Cao Hua's eyes sank slightly, and he raised the sword in his hand:
"Our Diankui Shi is responsible for clearing out the traitors in the world. It is a major case of breaking into the government and stealing weapons. However, there is no record in the documentary library. Did Lord Zhao forget to report to Diankui Shi at that time? Or was there another hidden information that it is hard to explain?"
"this....."
Zhao Ting was speechless and looked at Zhu Xie secretly.
"What do you think of Lord Zhu? Could it be that he knows the truth?"
"No, Governor Cao was joking, the official...well..."
Zhao Ting wiped the sweat from his forehead, but didn't know how to answer.
The lobby became quiet. Facing Cao Hua's aggressiveness, everyone focused their attention on Zhu Xie.
Zhu Xie held the teacup and was silent for a long time. He did not look at Cao Hua anymore. He just said, "Just go here." Then he got up and left the yamen with his follower without looking back.
When many officials sitting there saw Zhu Xie get up and leave, they already understand the result today:
Zhu Xie gave in.
The concession was not because the perjury that Cao Hua took out made it difficult for Zhu Xie to deal with. Even if the evidence was true, both sides could still argue for the whole life.
Zhu Xie conceded because Cao Hua gave a boundary - only targeting Wanjia, not involving anyone else in the audience, and putting all the blame on Wanjia.
Zhu Xie rushed over from afar, fearing that Cao Hua would just turn the table over without hesitation. Now he only sawed one leg of the table. Although Zhu Xie was resentful, everyone still had to sit on the table to have dinner.
Understand that Cao Hua was determined to die in the Wan family, Zhu Xie could only stop here and leave the matter to the superiors to deal with it. He just needed to ensure that he was not implicated.
After a quiet moment in the hall, Cao Hua saw Zhu Xie leave, and turned around and left with Hei Yuwei.
Zhao Ting wiped the sweat from his forehead and looked at Cao Hua's back:
"Governor Cao, how should this case be settled?"
Cao Hua pointed to Wan Qin and the account book on the ground: "The evidence and evidence are both present, and the case of Su family's rebellion is indeed doubtful, so it is reported to Dali Temple for review in truth."
"yes!"
Zhao Ting nodded quickly and thought about it for a long time before he began to write about the case. Every time he wrote a name, his hands trembled slightly...
