Salted Fish Lady Loves to Eat Melons

Chapter 108 The result was disappointing

"He was the one who robbed me into the mansion. I remember there was a big black mole under his left ribs. Please help me, sir."

The woman who was speaking cried very sadly. She really wanted Yin Yunfei to go to jail to relieve her hatred.

"Please help me, sir. The golden hairpin on my head was given to me by the eldest son of the Yin family. How can you say that you don't know me?"

"Your Excellency, I am aware that the brocade I am wearing is from Liqi Pavilion. All the clothes I have purchased from Liqi Pavilion are recorded. Moreover, many ladies have seen me at the flower viewing banquet at the Yin Mansion."

Aunt Yun spoke clearly and logically that she was the most favored by the eldest master of the Yin Mansion, so she had participated in several flower-viewing banquets.

"Bitch, you are my father's concubine, so of course you have attended the flower-viewing banquet in our Yin Mansion." Seeing that Aunt Yun's words made sense, Yin Yunfei roared without thinking.

Xie Shaoqing, who was sitting next to the Shangshu, spoke to him in a low voice for a few words, then slammed the gavel, "Pa~"

He continued, "Yin Yunfei, you just firmly told me that you didn't know them, and now you say that this girl is your father's concubine. Your words are full of loopholes, proving that you have been lying all along."

"Sir Shaoqing, even if these bitches are servants of the Yin Mansion, it does not prove that I forcibly took them into the mansion."

"Yin Yunfei, then please explain clearly, since they don't want to stay in the Yin Mansion, why do you force them to stay in the Mansion?"

"Your Excellency, I brought them to your house because I couldn't bear to see them wandering the streets."

Yin Yunfei said stubbornly, could he say that he let them go because he was afraid that they would go to the government to file a complaint?
"Oh, living on the streets? What makes you think so? This lady is the eighteenth lady of the Fan family."

"Reporting to the Lord, Miss Eighteen got separated from her maids and servants. It was already dark at that time, and I happened to be on the road..."

"Sir, he is talking nonsense! I grew up with my father in the northwest, and I have some martial arts skills. If he hadn't brought many guards with him, how could he have snatched me away? Please understand, Yin Yunfei was robbing me, and it was not even dark at that time."

Before Yin Yunfei finished speaking, Fan Shiba immediately started to defend himself excitedly.

"She is making a specious argument. Your Excellency, please do not believe her one-sided story. Who can prove that it was not dark at that time? Who can prove that I was robbing by force?"

"My Lord, there were still many people on the street at that time. I don't believe there was no righteous person."

The gazes of the three people in the hall crossed like sharp swords. The whole hall was filled with a tense and depressing atmosphere, like a powder keg ready to explode.

Fan Shiba felt a strong sense of oppression, her heart beat faster and the hairs on her body stood up.

Her maids and servants would never testify for her. When she almost starved to death last night, it was a cousin who brought her two maids and brought her a lot of food.

When she was leaving the house today, the maid who brought her food last night quietly told her that Master Fan San didn't know that she had returned home.

For some unknown reason, Master Fan San suddenly went to suppress bandits and he probably won't be back home for a few days.

She was told not to go against the Yin family and risk her life, but she just wouldn't give in.

What's more, there are suddenly four more witnesses. How can she give up this great opportunity!

Just when Fan Shiba was feeling despair, he heard the heavenly voice of Young Master Xiao, and that feeling of despair instantly disappeared.

"Sir, I can prove that it was not dark at that time, and the eldest son of the Yin Mansion brought his guards to rob the girl in the street."

"Who is here? Please tell me in detail what happened?" The Minister of Justice sat up straight and asked majestically.

"I am the second son of the Weiwu Marquis' Mansion. Four days ago, I was coming back from feeding pigs at a farm in the suburbs and passed by Zhengyang Street..." Xiao Libo had heard from Fan Shiba a long time ago that she was kidnapped by Yin Yunfei at the entrance of an alley on Zhengyang Street.

"The second young master of the Marquis' Mansion is going to feed the pigs himself?" asked the middle-aged man who had been sitting on the right and had not spoken.

He is the Minister of Justice and also from the Fifth Prince's faction. The Fifth Prince and Marquis Weiwu are not in the capital, so none of them dare to be high-profile and try to reduce their presence as much as possible.

"In reply to your Excellency, our Marquis of Weiwu has a large population, but we are poor and have no money for education. My brothers have no achievements and have not been able to enter the official career. We can only be self-sufficient. I raise pigs, my fifth brother farms, and my eighth brother herds cattle..."

"Sir, please don't talk nonsense in court about things that are not related to the case." Yin Yunfei interrupted Xiao Libo impatiently.

"Master Yin, are you scared?" Xiao Libo asked with his chest straightened.

In the past, he would never have admitted that their mansion was poor. It was something difficult to talk about.

Nowadays, his fourth brother earns more than ten thousand taels of silver a month, so what is he afraid of!

The original atmosphere of anger and drawing of swords and bows was somewhat diluted by Xiao Libo's words.

"Bang, Yin Yunfei, the witnesses and evidence are all here, what else do you have to argue about?" Xie Xiaofeng slammed the gavel and questioned sternly.

"I said I didn't rob anyone. I was doing a good deed by taking them in, but these heartless people turned around and bit me back." Yin Yunfei said with his neck stiff.

"It's necessary to take them in..." Xie Shaoqing couldn't finish his words, and finally said angrily: "It's a waste of energy to say one more word to a beast like you."

As the trial became more intense, more and more people came forward to testify that they had witnessed the eldest son of the Yin family raping a woman in the street.

Everyone also knows that the law does not hold everyone responsible, so they became bolder and those who stood up spoke in great detail.

Some even imitated Yin Yunfei's tone of voice at the time, "Whoever dares to stand up to help her will be severely beaten by this young master, beaten to death and thrown into a mass grave."

The brave witnesses were all arranged in advance by Wen Qingwan. They were all people who had been to the battlefield, so how could they not be brave?
The truth gradually surfaced and the facts were laid before his eyes. The Minister of Justice had no choice but to convict the eldest son of the Yin family of the crime of forcibly seizing a commoner girl.

But many testimonies proved that he was deceived by the servants around him, so according to the laws of Dasheng, he was just lax in disciplining his subordinates and could not be beheaded.

At most, his official status would be stripped and he would be imprisoned for a month, and even the servants around him would not be beheaded.

Unless it is a flower thief, who has seriously affected the social order and has no backing, he will be sentenced to immediate execution.

Such a result disappointed Fan Shibada, and she was even more dissatisfied. The complicated relationships and interest entanglements made her dizzy.

After the trial, Fan Shiba walked out of the Dali Temple with a heavy heart, her heart was in turmoil.

She pulled the four lifeless women aside and asked them why they looked like they were about to die even though they had won.

Aunt Yun kindly told her that if she were not of noble status, such a case would not only punish Yin Yunfei, but also the woman.

Moreover, the punishment for women was quite severe, so even if they were insulted, they dared not speak out.

They usually choose to kill themselves by hitting their heads against the wall, or never get married and live their whole life in silence.
