Chapter 18
"Public opinion +20, prestige +90."

A hint appeared in Xu Chuan's mind, which shows that his inferences completely calmed the people under the hall, and even the seven or eight sons and brothers including Luo Xingtang were calmed down.

Is this a scam from start to finish?

Emotional liar?Kill someone with your life?
Incredible.

"Miss, miss, did you hear that, the lord said that the son was framed." Xiao Fei shook Luo Pingping's body vigorously, almost breaking the latter's already thin body.

Ke Luoping's eyes lit up.Brother was framed?Framed?
A look of panic flashed in Zhang Qinglian's eyes, but then she quickly calmed down, looked at Xu Chuan with a calm expression, and said, "My lord's inference is indeed bizarre and breathtaking, but the lord said that I and the Cheng family jewelry Is there any evidence for collusion?"

"Yes, yes, my lord, the villain has never known this girl Zhang." Cheng Peng knelt on the ground and said with trembling lips.

"Stay stubborn?" Xu Chuan snorted coldly, "You don't know each other? The witness, Cheng Liu's."

"Pass on the Cheng Liu clan."

The head of the class escorted Cheng Liu to the hall, and whispered while going to the hall: "The words of the adults have been brought to you. To be honest, all the Cheng family's property is yours. If you deceive, then Cheng Peng and Zhang Qinglian will fly away, you Nothing will fall."

Cheng Liu took a deep breath and flashed in her mind the scene of Zhang Qinglian and her husband discussing matters behind her back. Divorce her and marry that bitch.

Thinking of this, she nodded and walked into the lobby.

"Liu Hongmei, a citizen's wife, see the adults."

"Madam, what are you doing here?" Cheng Peng was shocked.

Zhang Qinglian also showed panic.

Only the Cheng family knew about her relationship with the Cheng family, but Cheng Peng would never betray her. The two were grasshoppers on the same rope. If they recognized it, it would be a dead end.

But Cheng Liu's is different.

"What am I doing here? Your lord summons, I naturally have to come, why, you thief, you want to corrupt people's money, so you divorce my mother and marry that slut, I can't think of it, the sky has eyes, Xu The adults have already seen through your tricks." Cheng Liushi looked at Cheng Peng and Zhang Qinglian with resentment.

Cheng Peng stared: "You crazy woman, what nonsense are you talking about?"

Xu Chuan smiled and said, "Liu Hongmei, are you Cheng Peng's wife?"

"Yes." Liu Hongmei nodded respectfully.

"Okay, this official asks you, does this girl Zhang know the Cheng family?" Xu Chuan asked.

Liu Hongmei hurriedly said: "Don't dare to deceive the adults, Zhang Qinglian, formerly known as Zhang Xueer, originally from outside the county, came to Ancheng County two years ago, and started a business with my father-in-law, namely Cheng Song, she is responsible for bringing customers to the jewelry store. , My father-in-law deliberately raised the price of jewelry, and tried to deceive those who took advantage of it. Just a few days ago, my father-in-law's health became worse and worse, so he came up with this poisonous plan. When he brought Luo Xingtang to buy jewelry, he deliberately got into trouble with him. …”

"You are talking nonsense! Mad woman, you are talking nonsense!" Cheng Peng roared and rushed towards Liu Hongmei.

But as soon as his body moved, he was swept under his knees by the two yamen on the side, and his legs fell so hard that he fell to the ground, his mouth hit the ground, and blood immediately came out.

Seeing her husband's appearance, Liu Hongmei was frightened, and she had nothing to say about the relationship between husband and wife. She became more and more resentful, so she went into details, inside and out, explaining how they lied to others and how they harmed Luo Xingtang. Chu.

There was an uproar all of a sudden, and Zhang Qinglian's face was ashen, and she fell to the ground in a flash.Cheng Peng was even more powerless to lie there, like a dead dog.

It's over, it's over.

Xu Chuan waited until Liu Hongmei finished speaking, then clapped his hands and said, "Cheng Peng, Zhang Qinglian, you two have something to say."

Cheng Peng got up from the ground and said, "My lord, my lord, my father and Zhang Qinglian planned this matter together.

Zhang Qinglian just sneered and sat there without saying a word.

Xu Chuan frowned and looked at Cheng Peng: "Cheng Songzong is the mastermind, but you are the master of false accusations. You cannot deny it. Master Wang, falsely accusing others, according to the laws of the Great Xia Dynasty, what should be the crime of falsely accusing others?"

Master Wang got up quickly and said loudly: "The Daxia law is clearly determined, and the false accusation should be punished with the crime of being falsely accused."

Cheng Peng shivered.

Xu Chuan nodded and said: "Cheng Peng, you heard it, you falsely accused Luo Xingtang of murdering others, deliberately plotting to steal other people's property, and ruthless, this crime should be punished, but you are really not the mastermind, this officer will exempt you from the crime of death and betray you. Exiled to work, go to Xiaming Pass to move stones."

Xiamingguan, that is the place closest to the twelve mountains of the Northern Demonic Beast Wilderness in the Nineteen States of Daxia.

"Your Excellency, please spare your life." Cheng Peng cried.

Xu Chuan waved his hand, and the yachai pushed Cheng Peng down.

Then he looked at Zhang Qinglian: "Zhang Qinglian, whose real name is Zhang Xue'er. You and the Cheng family jewelry laying bureau deceived other people's property. I want to ask them now, but I will be held accountable."

Xu Chuan looked at the young people.

Li Xiaofu looked at Zhang Qinglian's soft and weak figure, and his heart was filled with pity, and he sighed: "Forget it, I am sincere to you. As for... my lord, I don't blame Miss Zhang."

"I don't blame it either."

"Don't blame her."

"She must have a hard time."

said one by one.

Luo Xingtang opened his mouth and said nothing.

Their performance immediately attracted scolding from a group of people outside the hall.It is said that these descendants are really blind, blinded by lard...

Xu Chuan was a little more comfortable listening to it from above. From another angle, it was quite refreshing to see the people scolding others.

"Miss, fortunately, the son did not plead for that bitch." Maid Xiaofei said happily.

Luo Pingping was about to nod his head in relief, but he saw Luo Xingtang in the hall actually stepped forward and knelt beside Zhang Qinglian and said, "My lord, I was deceived by others because I was stupid, I don't want to pursue the crime of Miss Zhang's frame, please forgive me. waived."

Luo Pingping stomped his feet angrily.

Xu Chuan also twitched the corners of his mouth.

"Miss Zhang, you and I know each other. No matter what, I treat you with sincerity. This time... I know that your heart is not like this. Maybe, you have your troubles." Luo Xingtang also smiled at Zhang Qinglian.

Such an infatuated lover that even if I die for you, I have no complaints.

Zhang Qinglian looked at him, and the two looked at each other, as if time had frozen for a while, but the true feelings of no one else were revealed.

Seeing this scene, Xu Chuan could only say silently in his heart: "Lick the dog, lick the dog, lick the dog until you have nothing, you deserve to be killed, and who else is not?"

The Snow Mountain Swordsman, who was about to flatter his master in Xu Chuan's sea of ​​knowledge, couldn't help sticking out his tongue when he heard this.

Lick the dog... Who is the owner talking about?

"Not about me, well, definitely not about me."

……

"cough."

in the hall.

Xu Chuan coughed lightly, interrupting Luo Xingtang and Zhang Qinglian's gaze.

The two looked up.

Xu Chuan said: "Since the parties do not pursue it..."

He was about to close the case when an option popped up in his mind: "Acquit Zhang Qinglian, public opinion -50, prestige -10. Luo Xingtang's favorability rating +70."

"Sentence Zhang Qinglian as a minor crime, public opinion +10, reputation +10. Luo Xingtang's favorability +30."

"Sentence Zhang Qinglian for a serious crime, public opinion +50, reputation +50. Luo Xingtang's favorability score -10, and the existing favorability score is 60."

Xu Chuan was stunned.It's not that the surprise option appears... but this time, there is no luck option?He has always used luck options to determine right or wrong.

Then suddenly, there is no luck option, indicating that no matter how he is sentenced, he is right, and the difference between the trial is mainly public opinion, reputation... and the favorability of this Luo Xingtang.

Needless to say, the public opinion, the few prodigals in the hall are soft-hearted and easy to deceive, but the parents and family members outside are not easy to deceive.This kind of woman has seriously violated their family and should be severely punished!

The heavier the punishment, the more it can show that the magistrate's laws are strict and upright.

But what left Xu Chuan speechless the most was that if he severely sentenced Zhang Qinglian, Luo Xingtang would still blame him?Did he make a mistake, he saved his life.

Licking a dog really can't be handled with common sense, it's unreasonable!
That being the case.

Of course, this official should be based on public opinion and prestige.

Everyone in the hall was waiting for Xu Chuan to pronounce the sentence. Zhang Qinglian also heard Xu Chuan's tone loosen. Although his face was still pale, he was already secretly happy.

"I joined the "Flower Gate" when I was six years old. I thought that deception has already entered the room. As long as I get enough 100,000 taels silver tickets, I can become a personal successor. I didn't expect to fall into the hands of the county magistrate Xu. Fortunately, these idiots were killed. I have lost three souls and seven apertures, excuse me. When I get out this time, leave this Ancheng County immediately and continue elsewhere, heh heh..."

She was thinking.

Unexpectedly, Xu Chuan paused, but the conversation changed: "Although the party concerned does not pursue it, it is true that you have violated the law. Without you, how could the Cheng family take such a detour, not only causing losses to several families, I want to deceive this official, how can this official spare you lightly, betray you and punish you with Cheng Peng, exile together, and go to Xiaming Pass to lift stones."

"This verdict is immediately submitted to the general verdict, and it will be implemented within a few days after the general verdict is approved."

"Luo Xingtang, you were framed, but you can't understand, and this official has nothing to say. Go back and reflect on yourself. Liu Hongmei recognizes the merits and deserves it. From now on, you will no longer have anything to do with the Cheng family, take good care of your children, and the rest. You can't be held accountable after the fact, if you let this official know, the staff will serve you."

Judge it.

Zhang Qinglian was stunned, exiled, labored?Moving stones?Why, why, obviously this dog official has let go.

Luo Xingtang opened his mouth and was speechless.

However, Liu Hongmei had already thanked Master Qingtian gratefully. Xu Chuan's final judgment was obviously afraid that those who had been deceived by the Cheng family would settle accounts in the autumn, then she would not have a stable life, and now she is fine.

It's a great master.

There was also applause outside the hall, Luo Pingping and maid Xiaofei happily waving their small fists.

That Zhang Qinglian should be severely sentenced!
Only the litigator Situ stood sullenly on the side, and the paper in his hand was shaped into a ball.I won't have a lawsuit with Xu Chuan in the future.

……

"It's really interesting, interesting." Outside the county office, an old man with a wine gourd and a machete on his waist grinned at the verdict.

Next to him is a woman in red, standing there with a frosty face!
