high official

Chapter 516 Confrontation
After some contesting, Wang Xian finally suppressed the arrogance of Ji Gang and his gang, and then he slapped the gavel heavily and said, "Bring the plaintiff!"

The crowd waited eagerly, and after a while, they saw a thin and emaciated little girl, wearing a patched coarse cloth skirt, timidly came up to the hall, without waiting for orders, she knelt down before the big case, kowtowed and said, "Please!" Lord Qingtian is the master, to avenge my dead brother..."

I have to admit that Father Wang is indeed a veteran in this field. Seeing the thin figure kneeling in the cold and dense lobby, surrounded by wolves and tigers on both sides, this scene alone is enough to make people unbearable.

"Don't cry, you girl, raise your head and come to me to ask you." Wang Xian said kindly, "What's your name?"

"My name is Lancao." The little girl whispered.

"How old are you?" Wang Xian asked again.

"Eight years old." Lancao said.

"Is there no one at home, let you eight or nine year old girl come to complain?" Wang Xian frowned.

"My father died early, and my sister got married, so I lived with my elder brother and mother. Later, my elder brother was killed unjustly, and my mother couldn't afford to be ill. Later, she hanged herself..." The little girl cried again, "Woooo , my brother is a good man, not a murderer, woo woo..."

"Okay, okay, don't cry." Wang Xian comforted a few words in a soft voice, and asked: "If you file a complaint, you must have a pleadings. Who do you ask to write the pleadings for you?"

"My aunt from the Yan family wrote it for me." The little girl hurriedly raised a pleading paper with both hands, and Wu Wei took it and presented it to Wang Xian.

Wang Xian glanced at him and said in a deep voice, "Bring the defendant!"

"Bring the defendant!" The officials summoned loudly, and everyone saw two soldiers carrying a stretcher up, and Zhang Gouzi, who was as angry as a silk, was lying on it.

Seeing this, Wang Xian's pupils shrank, but he said that Xianyun and Bai Yunzi had been guarding Zhang Gouzi these days, and he had been treated with good Wudang Mountain golden sore medicine. Although I can't walk on the ground yet, there is no obstacle to speaking and thinking.Why did you just meet Zhuang Jing in the morning, and now you are dying like this?

Looking at Xiao Lancao kneeling beside him, Wang Xian couldn't help but sneer in his heart. It turned out that the two parties wanted to go together, and they were both pretending to be pitiful and sympathetic!However, I had premeditated it, including letting people into the arena, and it was all arranged in advance, but the other party was able to take advantage of the situation and not suffer. This ability to adapt to the situation is really powerful.

But Wang Xian was not surprised, because he saw a middle-aged man in a Confucian robe, white face and long beard next to the stretcher. It was Zhuang Jing who took the initiative to be Zhang Gouzi's litigator.Since Zhuang Jing is the litigator in this case, he naturally has the right to confront Zhang Gouzi before the trial, and Zhang Gouzi's current behavior is absolutely inseparable from this guy's instigation...

"Is Zhang Gouzi's litigator the one standing under the hall?" Wang Xian could naturally recognize that person as Jin Yiwei's Junjun Zhuang Jing, and he asked this question on purpose to try to blow this guy's arrogance as much as possible.

"Not bad." On the contrary, Zhuang Jing naturally wanted to reveal his identity and strive for the initiative.He cursed secretly, and said proudly: "Your Majesty, Zhuang Jing, I joined the army as the commander of Jin Yiwei, and I can be regarded as your boss."

"Since the governor of the Jinyiwei joined the army, why would he be willing to be lowly and become a lawyer?" Wang Xian asked in a cold voice without any politeness.In later generations, a lawyer was a prestigious profession, but in this era, a litigator has no status at all, and is despised by the government instead.They think they are a group of parasites who play right and wrong, turn black and white, make excuses, and take advantage of fishermen. They are most hated by local officials.Wang Xian saw various versions of "Official Proverbs" that said that after taking office, local officials must first gather local litigants and severely reprimand them.

But it is clear that Zhuang Jing has a lot of affection for his old career, and he said with a righteous face when he heard the words: "I saw that Zhang Baihu was brutally murdered by the lord, and now he is unconscious, and his life and death are uncertain, but he was brought to the hall again by the lord! What about the comatose person?" Can you speak? Even if you are full of grievances, there is no way to justify it." As he spoke, he looked at the people in the hall and said: "I really can't stand it, so I decided to play a guest litigator and fight this lawsuit for him."

When the onlookers saw the tragic situation of that Gouzi, they couldn't help shaking their heads secretly. Their dislike for Zhang Gouzi's side decreased a bit, and their favor for Wang Xian also decreased a bit, and they felt that the two sides were like dogs of a feather.

Wang Xian was annoyed for a while, looked at Zhuang Jing coldly and said: "Then I shouldn't treat you as a superior, but as an ordinary litigator?"

"Well, one yard is worth one yard..." Zhuang Jing said: "I am defending Zhang Gouzi, but you can't disrespect the superior because of this."

"Well, one yard is one yard," Wang Xian said in a deep voice: "If you are a Shangguan, please sit aside and listen to the trial! If you are a litigator, please put away your Shangguan airs!" Said emphatically, he patted the gavel Said: "There are no fathers and sons in the court, let alone Shangguan!"

Wang Xian had the right time, place and people, and he displayed the majestic aura of the presiding judge as soon as he came up, which really made it difficult for the old Jianghu who are accustomed to the world to adapt.Zhuang Jing never expected that Wang Xian would be so aggressive that he would fight him to the death as soon as he came up.But as Mr. Wang said, lawyers are ultimately at a disadvantage in front of the adjudicator. Once they encounter a tough interrogator, they can only avoid their edge and outwit them. litigator."

Wang Xian snorted coldly.

"Okay, I'm a litigator now..." Zhuang Jing had no choice but to call himself another.

"Since being a litigator requires the awareness of a litigator." Wang Xian glanced at him contemptuously and said, "In court, I will only treat you as a litigator!"

"You don't need to be accommodating." Zhuang Jing also adjusted, and said neither humble nor overbearing: "At this moment, I am just an ordinary lawyer."

"Then why don't you kneel?" Wang Xian stared at him coldly.

"My surname is Wang, don't go too far!" Seeing Zhuang Jing being humiliated, Xu Yingxian who was behind Ji Gang started to make noise.

"Who dares to make noise in the courtroom!" Wang Xian's eyes were like lightning, he glanced over Ji Gang and his party, slapped the gavel heavily and said: "Slap your mouth forty, fork out of the hall!"

"Here!" The officials in the hall were all Wang Xian's people, and when they heard the words, they responded in unison, and rushed towards Xu Yingxian.

"Come on, come on!" Xu Yingxian and the others were naturally not to be outdone, and drew out their weapons one after another.

"Wang Zhenfu, are you crazy?" Ji Gang used to have a hard time riding a horse, but at this moment he naturally took the opportunity to stand up, stopped in front of the official with a livid face, and said, "Do you really think that this official is just a display?"

"Why did the governor make such a statement? It's too late for the officials to respect you, so why would they treat you as a display?" Wang Xian said with a cold smile, "It's just that the officials who punished Qianhu were the first to speak before anyone dared to make any noise. Now, severe punishment will not be forgiven! Since the warning has been issued first, if I don’t punish them lightly, what will be the order in the courtroom, and what will be the dignity of our Jinyiwei?”

"You don't need to worry about Jin Yiwei's dignity!" Ji Gang said coldly.

"But this case is now an imperial case," Wang Xian pulled the tiger's banner again and said, "Now the lobby is like a vegetable market. How can I let the officials explain to the emperor!"

"I will explain to the emperor." Ji Gang said with a cold snort.

"So, the governor came here at the emperor's order?" Wang Xian looked at Ji Gang with piercing eyes.

"This..." Ji Gang paused and said, "I am inspecting my subordinates, do I still need to ask the emperor for instructions?"

"If you don't need it in normal times, but now the Fusi of Beizhen is handling the Qin case, and the governor comes here this time, it is inevitable that he will be used to suppress people and interfere with the trial..." Wang Xian said slowly: "I'd like to ask for instructions. appropriate."

"You!" These words made Ji Gang speechless. Wang Xian understood very well that you have come, but please shut up and sit aside.Ji Gang couldn't stand the big hat, so he had to say to the people behind him in a muffled voice: "You all get out! I'm here by myself! Listen!" He deliberately bit the word "auditor" very hard, to show that he didn't want to listen. Will talk more.

"The governor really understands righteousness." Wang Xian nodded and signaled his subordinates to stop.He also accepts as soon as he sees a deal, after all, Ji Gang is really in a hurry, and the lobby is turned into a pot of porridge, so he can't eat it and walk around.

"Old ancestor..." But Xu Ying was dumbfounded after a few moments, standing there in a dilemma.

"Get out!" Ji Gang waved his sleeves irritably, kicked out his disciples and grandchildren, then returned to his seat angrily and sat down, but forgot that the man under him was a cheater.As a result, with a little force, there was only a click, and the scorpion fell to the ground with a bang.Even though Dudu Ji was agile, he still stumbled and kissed his buttocks heavily to the ground.

There was an uproar in the lobby, especially the common people outside, who would have thought that they could see the scene of King Ji Yan making a fool of himself?They wanted to laugh but were afraid of being hated, so they could only hold it back, their faces flushed, and they still couldn't help giggling.

"Hurry up and help the governor." Wang Xian ordered with a look of surprise, and then comforted Ji Gang: "If the governor has any displeasure, just say it. Is it worth taking a stick to vent your anger?"

Ji Gang's face was already blackened, and he was so angry that he was so angry. He has been in the world for nearly 20 years, how has he ever suffered such humiliation?He knew that Wang Xian was taking revenge on him, but if he made it clear in public, it would be even more embarrassing.He could only swallow his breath first, gritted his teeth and said, "It's time for Zhen Fusi's chairs to be replaced!"

"Then you have to allocate funds from the governor." Wang Xian waved his hand with a smile, and his subordinates moved another chair. Ji Gang learned how to behave this time. That sulked.He didn't know what was going on, the guys under him were pretty good at first, but ever since they met this Wang Xian, they were full of ugly behaviors and all kinds of stupidity, as if they were possessed by evil spirits!Even myself made a fool of myself!

Little did they know that the reason why these guys were able to run rampant before was because they faced all kinds of civil servants who were full of knowledge. There is a saying that "a scholar meets a soldier, and the reason cannot be explained", so they are naturally not their opponents.But now they have met Wang Xian, a fierce man who has stepped out of the worst and worst yamen. They can't stand their way in front of him at all, and they can only be deflated again and again.
