Reborn Nongmen's little lucky wife

Chapter 900 Arrogant Litigation

At that time in Long'an Mansion, everyone knew Li Shentong from the Li family of the great merchant. He was three-year-old learning Chinese, four-year-old could recite three-character scriptures, five-year-old could recite thousand-character prose, and was admitted to Tongsheng at 13 years old.

Li Shentong's name was called until Li Zhi became a father and went to study abroad, and then he stopped calling it.

After seeing the case of Mrs. Gu murdering Fei, the people who watched the excitement were not that interested in Mrs. Gu murdering her own husband, but when they heard that the adulterer was Li Zhi, they went crazy with excitement.

"What, what are you talking about? Li Zhi was the one who murdered Mrs. Gu's husband? Master Li from our prefecture?!"

"My lord, can't you? Mrs. Gu and Mrs. Li actually did things under the quilt. Are Gu Youwen and Gu Youlu the seeds of Mr. Gu?"

Someone replied: "What a fart! Gu Youwen was born less than seven months after Mrs. Gu entered the Gu family, so it must be Mrs. Li's seed. Looking at the three sons of the old Gu family, only Gu Youfu was born. You have to look like Mr. Gu, Gu Youwen and Gu Youlu both look like Mr. Li, and they are carved out of the same mold as Mr. Li, so you can tell that they are father and son at a glance."

In fact, Gu Youwen and Gu Youlu don't look like Master Li at all, but like Master Li's uncle.

But the people of He'an Mansion didn't care, they were excited, and echoed: "Yes, yes, I have been watching Gu Youwen and Gu Youlu look like Master Li for a long time. Hey, this is the first time I saw Gu Youwen. At that time, I thought I saw Master Li, that image!"

With a snap, the ancient magistrate couldn't take it anymore, and scolded the people who watched the excitement: "Be quiet, if you dare to make noise again, the government will not be polite to you!"

The ancient prefect did not know how many times he said this. The people of He'an Mansion were not afraid, but they still calmed down because they wanted to hear gossip.

The servants of the major restaurants and storytelling halls hurried back to tell the storytellers about the government office.

The ancient magistrate saw it, but did not stop them, let them go, and continued to ask Yuan Jiagui: "These are all your one-sided words. It is impossible to sue the officials based on one-sided words. Do you have evidence? This government reminds you, If there is no evidence, you are slandering the court officials and punishing the whole family according to the law."

After hearing this, Tian Xiwang's family became a little nervous, and looked at Yuan Jiagui: "Uncle Yuan, do you have evidence? If not, we are finished."

Although they were not surnamed Yuan, they followed Yuan Jiagui to testify, and the evidence in his family's hands could not put Li Zhi in jail, at most it could ruin his reputation.

Yuan Jiagui's grandson was a little scared, but he grabbed Yuan Jiagui and said with a smile, "Grandpa is fine, we will grow old with you."

He and his sister are left with only grandpa, no matter whether grandpa confesses or not, they will stay with grandpa and will not be separated again.

Looking at his grandson, Yuan Jiagui was very relieved... In the past, this grandson was the most disobedient, but on the way to escape from the wilderness, after watching several cousins ​​die one after another, he became very sensible and knew that he was thinking of his family.

Yuan Jiagui patted his grandson's head and said, "Brother En, don't worry, Grandpa has evidence."

As he spoke, he tore off the rope hanging around his neck, and pulled out a bag the size of a fist from inside his clothes. The bag was very thick, layer after layer, and the mouth of the bag was sealed with a thread, which required a knife to open. .

Yuan Jiagui handed the bag to the Gu Zhifu, and said: "There is a small piece of jade pendant in it. I woke up and heard that my cousin Man was gone. I felt guilty. I secretly went to the pond to search for it that night, and found it in a clump of grassy soil. Then There are more than half of the characters on it, I found someone to read it, and it is more than half of the Zhi characters, which can be proved to be Li Zhi's."

After the ancient magistrate heard this, he immediately asked the government servant to cut open the cloth bag, and took out the half piece of jade pendant in public, on which there was indeed a word Zhi that was cut off diagonally from left to right.

It can be seen clearly that the spoken words on the right side of Zhizi are half missing.

All the people present were startled, and the common people said: "My lord, Mr. Li is really Mrs. Gu's concubine. He and Mrs. Gu killed Yuan Jiaman together. Hurry up and arrest this villain!"

Tang Tong judged also said: "My lord, the witnesses and the material evidence are all ready, and you can order to arrest him."

Although Li Zhi is an official, he committed a major murder case, and should be arrested if the evidence is solid.

The ancient magistrate thought about it... The emperor is in good health and is still giving birth to children, but the eldest prince dares to form a clique. He is looking for death, and he probably won't live long.

"Come here, follow the government's order, Li Zhi murdered people, the evidence is convincing, immediately arrest and bring him to justice!" Gu Zhifu said.

"Yes." Bantou Zhang responded, and immediately led a group of yamen servants to arrest people. He was overjoyed. He had arrested people twice in the past few days, and his credit was much more than that of Bantou Ma.

Half of the people watching the excitement followed Bantou Zhang and the others to arrest people.

Master Li had already received the news, and he was sitting at home fully dressed and waiting. As soon as Team Leader Zhang arrived, he followed Team Leader Zhang without any resistance.

However, he brought a group of people.

Among this group of people is a staff member named Wu who specializes in litigation and is an extremely powerful litigator.

When Master Li arrived at the government office, he did not kneel down, but said: "Master Zhifu, I want to sue Yuan Jiagui for slandering the court officials."

As soon as he came, he countered and sued, which shocked the people present.

The ancient magistrate knew that Mr. Li would not be arrested without a fight, so he didn't panic too much. He received the pleading paper from Mr. Wu, and after reading it, he said: "Master Li, you said that Yuan Jiagui slandered you, but do you have evidence to prove that he is slandering you? He is There is evidence to prove that you and Mrs. Gu collaborated to murder Yuan Jiaman."

Wu Suitian smiled: "My lord, can the one-sided statement of the accuser be called evidence? A half-broken jade pendant can also be called physical evidence? There are many people named Zhi, who can prove that the owner of the jade pendant is Lord Li? "

In the end, he also said a heartbreaking sentence: "Master Zhifu, you are the chief official of the government office. Although you can settle the case, should you avoid such a case of unscrupulous people suing your colleagues in the government office?"

Then he said: "Your Excellency doesn't often handle cases, and if you don't know the criminal laws of the Great Chu, I can remind you. When a government official encounters a troublesome person suing his colleagues and assistant officials in the government office, he can first suppress the trial and bring witnesses The physical evidence was sent to Dali Temple in the capital, and Dali Temple sent people to interrogate Mr. Li. But why didn't you do this? Was it intentional..."

"Shut up, Mr. Wu, it is a serious crime to slander a government official in court." Tang Tong judge interrupted Mr. Wu: "What you said is just one of them. The criminal law of the Great Chu, if it is a major or urgent case, as long as there is evidence , even if they are colleagues in the same government, the head of the government office can immediately try the assistant officer of the government office, and then report to the capital afterward."

This criminal law was set by the first emperor of the Great Chu. In fact, at the beginning of the establishment of the Great Chu, there were too many cases in various places. When the capital was reported, the fresh corpses would all turn into bones.

Therefore, the first emperor of Dachu established such a criminal law. As long as the evidence is convincing, no matter who it is, even the assistant officer can try the chief officer, let alone the chief officer of a government is now trying the assistant officer Li Da.

Mr. Wu was not in a hurry, and continued: "Master Tang is familiar with the criminal laws of the Great Chu, and Wu admires it. But the government's current witnesses and evidences are not convincing. If the government can't produce new evidence, it will interrogate Mr. Li. Then the Li family will definitely sue the capital, not to mention the Yuan family, even Master Tang and Master Gu will not be able to please."

Wu Shishi was extremely arrogant, he killed Yuan Jiagui but he was not a witness, and Yupei's wisdom character could not represent Master Li.
