Chapter 25 I Declared You Guilty
A few days later, in front of the tallest and most majestic building in Guojiazhuang, Pei Xiaoer led Guo Bichang to set up a court hall here. This place used to be the Guo family ancestral hall, but now it is used as a court hall, which better reflects the majesty of the court hall.
The only regret is that the crowd of people standing outside the soldiers' defense circle are chatting away like a vegetable market.
Pei Xiaoer was also helpless about this, and even wondered if he was too kind to these unruly people, so that they were not afraid of him.
Seeing that these unruly people were becoming more and more violent, Pei Xiaoer picked up the temporary wooden block at hand that served as a gavel and slammed it on the table.
Only a "pop" sound was heard, and the noisy crowd finally calmed down a little.
"Bring the plaintiff" Pei Xiaoer cleared his throat and ordered.
"Mighty!!!" Several soldiers temporarily acted as government servants. They were very involved in the drama and shouted with great momentum. At least they calmed down the noisy people at once.
There is no way that ordinary people at this time are still doing this. Without this thing, it would seem informal and unprofessional. The verdict issued is not enough to convince the public.
A middle-aged man in tattered clothes was staggeringly brought to Pei Xiaoer. With a plop, he knelt down and kowtowed like pounding garlic. Within a few moments, blood appeared faintly on his forehead. There was also blood in his mouth.
He kept shouting: "Please make the decision for me, please make the decision for me. Please make the decision for me."
"Isn't this Wang Donggua?" The people watching obviously recognized this person.
"Why did it become like this?"
"I remember that he just got married last year. He is not at home with his beautiful wife, and he is not afraid that her wife will run away with someone."
Seeing that the crowd of onlookers started talking again, Pei Xiaoer quickly slapped the alarm.
"Mighty!!!" The guard's voice finally suppressed these unruly people again.
"Stop kowtowing now. What's your name? What grievances do you have? Just tell me." Seeing him kowtowing in embarrassment, Pei Xiaoer felt soft in his heart and asked in a slow tone.
"Master Qingtian, the ordinary people call her Wang Donggua. My wife was snatched away by Wang Yuan's son three days ago. Please make the decision for me." After Wang Donggua finished speaking, he lay on the ground holding his head and crying.
Pei Xiaoer looked at Wang Donggua who was lying on the ground crying and couldn't help but murmured. This man must be in his forties. Considering his family conditions, his wife couldn't be much younger than him.
A young and strong man rapes an aunt in her forties. This... this scene is so beautiful that I can't even imagine it.
By the way, is Guo Bichang still reliable in his work? I asked you to find someone who has a grievance to complain to, but Mi found such a person? Will any of the people believe it?
Turning his head to look at Guo Bichang in the corner, Pei Xiaoer felt a little unsure and asked when he saw the latter nodding confidently.
"Wang Donggua, you are almost forty, how could that son of a member of the Wang family rob a forty-year-old woman? You must know that in my place, false accusations will be punished." Pei Xiaoer
The gavel slapped him, and he shouted harshly.
"Master Mingjian, I just turned twenty this year, how could I be forty?" Wang Donggua was frightened by Pei Xiaoer and started kowtowing again.
Pei Xiaoer was speechless, twenty years old? With your handsome appearance, no one would doubt you if you were fifty years old. You might be a little too anxious to look like this.
Wang Donggua was still lying on the ground stating her grievances, bursting into tears.
"I am poor and have not been able to find a wife for more than 20 years. Later, my poor little sister felt sorry for my brother and was willing to marry the Zhang family in a neighboring village in exchange for the Zhang family's daughter marrying me.
But we have only been married for less than a month." Speaking of his wife, Wang Donggua's face covered with tears suddenly showed a happy smile.
"My wife is one of the best people in the world. Every day when I come back from the fields, she always has ready meals waiting for me. When I go hunting in the mountains, she is afraid that I will be cold, so she sews furs and makes them into clothes for me to wear.
; Every day when I go out to work, she is not willing to rest and weaves at home every day.
But just a few days ago, Wang Yuan's son came to our village to collect rent and accidentally broke into my house. He became greedy when he saw my wife's beauty. I was at home at the time and he didn't dare to do anything.
But when I went up to the mountains to hunt, that beast and his men snatched my wife away. Please make the decision, sir, and get my wife back for me."
After Wang Donggua said this, she couldn't bear it any longer. She knocked her head heavily on the ground, and the bright red blood dyed the gray ground red.
Pei Xiaoer was a little moved when he heard this. This damn world has murders, arson, gold belts, bridges and roads but no corpses.
After calming down for a moment, Pei Xiaoer then asked, "Do you have any witnesses or physical evidence? I can't believe your words."
"The waiter has a witness."
When Wang Donggua heard what Pei Xiaoer said, he quickly stood up and shouted to the crowd around him, "Brother Wang, Third Brother Wang."
At this time, a stubby man from the crowd stepped out, walked to the hall in a few steps, knelt down and saluted, and then said to Pei Xiaoer: "Little man Wang Hong, I am willing to use my head on my neck to guarantee Wang Donggua. He
Everything he said is true."
"Please make the decision for me, sir." Wang Donggua also quickly lay down on the ground, shouting that he was wronged.
"Sir, I can also testify."
"Yes, I can also prove that everything Wang Donggua said is true."
"Master, you have to make the decision for Wang Donggua."
The onlookers couldn't bear it any longer and began to intercede for Wang Donggua.
Seeing everyone talking, Pei Xiaoer felt that it was almost done, so he said: "Okay, since so many people have testified for you, I believe that this matter cannot be false. I will take care of this matter."
"Okay!" The people watching were overjoyed, and their cheers resounded throughout the hall.
"Now I will announce that the son of Yuan Wang is Wang Yuanwai's son." Pei Xiaoer paused for a moment. His son's name didn't seem to be mentioned yet, but regardless of the atmosphere, don't worry about these details.
"The son of Wang Yuanwai committed the crime of robbing a daughter of the people, and he should be executed according to the law. Wang Yuanwai allowed his son to commit the crime without discipline, and he should be exiled according to the law. But the court was unjust. It knew that someone had committed such a serious crime but still protected the murderer. It is unfair.
Willing to bring the culprit to justice.
Since the imperial court doesn't take care of it, then I will take care of it. Liu Zhizu, Pei Zhuer, Zhang Zhiyuan."
The three people who had been waiting for a long time walked quickly to the hall and performed a military salute.
"I give an order for the three of you to go back and pack up the army. We will send troops to Wangzhuang in three days to attack the guilty." Pei Xiaoer solemnly ordered.
"Yes, I will obey the military order." The three of them gave another military salute and then retreated.
"My lord is mighty!!!" A shocking shout suddenly erupted from the crowd. One by one, the crowd spontaneously knelt down towards Pei Xiaoer.
Everyone was sincerely convinced. Everyone felt that attacking Wangzhuang at this moment was the right thing to do. Some even burst into tears and said that the sky had finally opened its eyes.
Chapter completed!
