The Legend of Immortal Court

Chapter 38 Trial, Witnesses

This sound comes out.

There was a silence in the courtroom.

The Sun family steward's face darkened a little.

On the other hand, most of the people watching at the gate were ordinary families, even poor families. For wealthy families like the Sun family, there was a bit of hatred for the rich, and there were many discussions at the moment, which was quite lively.

This is still under the rule of Luoyue County, and the laws and regulations are strict, so that no one will make a fuss and disrupt the order.

"Oh?"

Fang Qing and the master looked at each other, only to feel that there was a turning point.

Although it is written in black and white, once the name is signed, it is difficult to turn around, even if it is deceived by someone, even if it is drunk, and the contract is signed without seeing clearly, but in black and white, it is in line with the law, and it can only be recognized. .

But there are exceptions, such as dynamic strength.

If someone coerces or forces others to sign their names, such an act is tantamount to highway robbery.

The laws of the Great Zhou Dynasty are perfect, as long as this can be proved, Su Ting may not be unable to win.

However, before Fang Qing could speak, he saw the steward of the Sun family step forward and said, "My lord, my Sun family's actions have always been reasonable and lawful, and have never violated the laws of the Zhou Dynasty. The same is true for this matter. It is written in black and white on the wine table There is absolutely nothing wrong with trading silver with Su Ting in exchange for his pen name."

Fang Qing glanced at Su Ting.

Su Ting looked calm and did not give any instructions.

Fang Qing pondered for a while, and then asked, "Do you have evidence?"

The steward of the Sun family was terrified. He saw the county magistrate and the boy from the Su family look at each other. Hearing what the county magistrate said, his heart sank.

Logically speaking, Mr. Fang should be asking Su Ting what evidence he has to prove that the Sun family is strong.

But at this time Master Fang asked the question in reverse, and asked him if there was any evidence that the Sun family had not been raped.

The words are different, and the meaning of this sentence is naturally different.

The steward of the Sun family could not have imagined that such a young man as Su Ting would be valued more by Fang Qing, the county magistrate, than the Sun family, but although he was a little shaken in his heart, he was still calm and did not lose his composure.

Hearing Fang Qing's question, the steward of the Sun family took a deep breath, cupped his hands and said, "My lord, there is witness to this matter, and he is an official, not an idler, so his words must be credible."

Fang Qing frowned slightly, and looked at each other with the master, and they both saw the meaning in the other's eyes.

This is the yamen, which servant was bought by the Sun family?

No matter what, the Sun family has found witnesses after all. It is a bit complicated in this situation.

Could it be possible to find evidence that the servant was bribed?
There are countless cases in the court of the Great Zhou Dynasty and county government offices in various places. People like Fang Qing and Master Shi have also seen countless cases. In some cases, rich and noble families used money to buy some idlers, etc., as witnesses .

And this kind of matter becomes very complicated when it is placed in other places. Often, the officials take bribes and close the case in a hurry.

Fang Qing's thoughts were confused, and he glanced at Su Ting, only to feel that the young man looked relaxed and smiled.

Seeing this, Fang Qing took a deep breath and settled down. Since Su Ting was so relaxed, there was no reason for him to be so distressed.

Since Su Ting did not instruct, then the trial will be carried out according to the usual case.

"Where are the witnesses?"

"grown ups."

The steward of the Sun family said in a low voice, "The witness is Yuan Butou."

Fang Qing frowned and said, "Yuan Gui?"

Master was taken aback.

All the arresters looked at each other in blank dismay.

The people watching outside also gradually listened to the discussion, and were a little astonished.

"It's weird." Su Ting was quite puzzled, and leaned close to his cousin, smelling the fragrance, making him quiet for a while, and then asked: "Sister, who is Catcher Yuan? Why does everyone seem weird?"

"Captain Yuan..." Su Yue's expression was serious, and she said softly, "This is the most stern and selfless chief hunter in Luoyue County. He is upright and always cold-faced."

"So that's how it is." Su Ting was a little stunned, no wonder everyone was so weird, it turned out that there was a guy who obviously wouldn't be bribed.

This made Mr. Fang Qing above a little surprised. He never thought that the witness of the Sun family was actually Yuan Yu.

Fang Qing knew who Yuan Gui was.

If there was a day when the officialdom was complicated and Fang Qing would accept bribes, it was impossible for Yuan Gui to accept bribes.

Since Catcher Yuan saw it with his own eyes, then this matter is true?

Fang Qing glanced at the master, only to see that the master was full of sadness and shook his head, feeling helpless, he looked at Su Ting again.

Su Ting didn't have the slightest dignified look on his face, and nodded slightly with a relaxed expression.

Fang Qing took a deep breath, and said, "Where is Headhunter Yuan?"

A policeman responded: "Catcher Yuan went to handle the case last night, and just went home."

Fang Qing said, "Go and call him over."

The catcher responded quickly, and was about to leave when the steward of the Sun family said with a smile: "Your Excellency, there is no need, the villain has already called someone to wait at Yuan Butou's house, and he will wait until Yuan Butou washes up. I'll come. Look at the time, it's almost time to come from Yuan Tutou's house."

"Then just wait a moment."

Fang Qing said so.

On the other hand, Su Ting remained calm, as if the matter had nothing to do with him.

This made Mr. Fang and Master Fang, who were suffering from headaches, feel very speechless in their hearts.

As for Su Yueyan, since she heard that Yuan Butou was the witness, her heart sank, knowing that the contract was probably true, Xiao Ting was probably trying to comfort her.

She looked anxious, pale, and her body was not healed, and she was even weaker.

She approached Su Ting and said in a low voice: "Xiao Ting, did you really not sign the contract?"

Su Ting took her hand, patted it lightly, and said softly, "How could I lie to you?"

With just such a sentence, Su Yuezhen felt that her heart was completely quiet, and her worry and anxiety couldn't make any waves.

"Wait and watch the show, our shop must be taken back."

Su Ting whispered, with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

However, at this moment, the voices outside were a little chaotic, and the discussion among the common people stopped abruptly, and a way was divided.

A lean middle-aged man walked in from the outside.

This man's expression was indifferent, his energy and blood were strong, and he appeared to be very powerful. Seeing him walking steadily and waving his hands vigorously, it can be seen that his martial arts skills are not ordinary.

Su Ting glanced at it, and knew that this was the witness who had witnessed arresting Yuan.

And Catcher Yuan also looked over, his eyes were cold and full of disgust.

Su Ting frowned, but he couldn't remember where he had offended this person, but he put the thought behind him for a moment, touched his cheek, and said in his heart: "It's mediocre not to be envied by others, outstanding Like me, as handsome as me, there is always jealousy."

Just when Su Ting found the reason why Yuan Gui didn't like him, Yuan Yu had already walked to the front, gave a salute, and called out to his lord.

"Captain Yuan."

Fang Qing said: "The Sun family and the Su family are entangled in a contract. According to the Sun family, you saw Su Ting sign the contract at the wine table that day and got the money from the Sun family. Is it true?"

Yuan Gui frowned slightly, then shook his head.

The Sun family steward's complexion changed drastically.

Everyone was astonished.

Both Fang Qing and the master, as well as the people outside, were a little surprised.

Only Su Yue frowned and breathed a sigh of relief.

Su Ting felt baffled.

Why are the witnesses invited by the Sun family not very cooperative?

However, at this moment, Yuan Gui said, "It's not a member of the Sun family, but the deceased son of the Wang family."
