Ten Dragons Take the Inheritance

Chapter 38
Not to mention that the onlookers didn't know what kind of tricks Liu Dakou was playing, even Zhu Tianbao, the presiding judge, was full of doubts. He couldn't figure out how the witnesses of Lu Ding's party could testify in favor of the party of the three evils. After staying there for quite a while, he looked at the smug Liu Dakou, and then at Zhong Dakou, who was full of confidence in his chances, finally settled down and said, "Yes."

"Thank you sir." Liu Dazui smiled triumphantly, shaking the folding fan in his hand even more vigorously, turned around abruptly, snapped the folding fan together, pointed at Shi Zhihao and said, "What's the name of this student?"

……

Shi Zhihao didn't even answer, there was no expression on his face, Liu Dazui asked several times in a row, Shi Zhihao didn't even respond at all, a thin layer of sweat suddenly appeared on Liu Dazui's forehead.Guo Xiu laughed loudly and said: "Mr. Liu Xun, my apprentice's surname is Shi, his name is Zhihao, and his characters are clear and meaningful. He is from Xi'an Prefecture, Shaanxi Province. He was originally a smart person. Unexpectedly, something unexpected happened. He suddenly fell ill these few days. Sarah, forget everything else, let alone speech, he can’t even understand other people’s words.”

Hearing this, Liu Dazui was startled suddenly, the folding fan in his hand could not be held firmly, and it fell to the ground with a thud, the sweat flowing down his face like a waterfall.There are few evils in the capital, and the reason why the prince dared to provoke such a big incident at the risk of offending Long Yan was because of Shi Zhihao's trump card. Giving testimony that is extremely unfavorable to Luding's side, it may be difficult for Luding Bookstore to win this lawsuit. It is a trivial matter for Luding Bookstore to lose the lawsuit, but Yin Zuo will be in big trouble, a crime of connivance That's enough for captivity.

The sentence that Lin Xuanyi said earlier - it is useless to say it, the answer to the mystery is a word, referring to Shi Zhihao, this person is the secret stake of the Prince's side in Luding Book Garden.Now that Yinzuo has figured out the answer to the mystery, naturally he will not let Shi Zhihao have a chance to play a role, but in order to confuse the prince, he has to let Shi Zhihao appear in court, but it is also a simple matter to prescribe medicine to make Shi Zhihao into an idiot.The method is a bit harsh, but for the sake of self-protection, I don’t care much about it. Besides, political struggles are always dirty. Yin Zuo understood this truth in his previous life, not to mention that he has been in this dynasty for a long time. The cruelty of the battle.

Liu Dazui was speechless, but Zhong Dakou was proud of himself, and said cheerfully: "My lord, there is another key point in this case: that is the singing girl Qiao, and this woman is exactly what Master Xu called in front of me." The girl who was bullied, why don't you listen to what the girl herself said?"

Zhu Tianbao was born as a Jinshi in the second ranking list. Of course, the Governor of Shuntian Mansion hand-picked by Mr. Kangxi has several brushes. How could he not know that the singing girl Qiao is the key to this case. Ever since Zhu Tianbao took over the Shuntian Mansion, he has sent people to Went to Wangyuelou to arrest people, but only when the servants sent to the field did they know that sister Qiao had been redeemed earlier, and Wangyuelou didn't even know who had redeemed her.Not to mention Zhu Tianbao, even the crown prince sent someone to redeem Qiao's son, but it was a step too late.Now the singing girl is finally going to show up, Zhu Tianbao immediately understood the truth of the matter and it was time to get to the bottom of it, he couldn't help but slapped the gavel and said loudly: "Where's the person?"

"Here." Following a response from the crowd, the crowd surged, and three or five big men surrounded a woman wearing a veiled hat and entered the hall.Those big men stopped consciously when they reached the entrance of the hall, and the masked woman walked up the hall alone, knelt down on the ground, lifted the bamboo hat on her head, and revealed a pure face. It was Sister Qiao who came. Son.

"Sister Qiao, the little girl, has met adults."

"Wait." Before Zhu Tianbao could say anything, Liu Dazui, who had already blushed anxiously, interjected, "My lord, this girl's origin is unknown, so she might not be the singing girl present. Please find out and re-examine me, Your lord."

Liu Dazui's remark was to delay the time. Shuntian Mansion sent people to Wangyue Tower to bring witnesses. It took a lot of time to go back and forth. Today's interrogation can hardly go on. After today, we will do it later. Intend.Liu Dazui's calculation was good, but Zhong Dakou didn't give him this chance. As soon as Liu Dazui's words fell, Zhong Dakou immediately said: "My lord, the third storekeeper and several assistants who were on duty on the day when the Wangyue Tower incident happened They are already waiting at the door, and these people can confirm the identity of Sister Qiao."

"Broadcast." Zhu Tianbao immediately agreed to call witnesses into the court, and the crowd surged again. A shopkeeper-like man led a few servants into the hall, and confirmed the identity of Sister Qiao.

Zhong Dakou laughed, but Liu Dazui's face darkened. The dark-faced Liu Dazui hurriedly said: "My lord, it's getting late today, and it's not appropriate to retrial. I'm asking for an adjournment. How about retrial at another date?"

Now, with Zhu Tianbao's wisdom, how can he not know that the case is about to be revealed, the prince's party is doomed, but if the trial continues, he will definitely offend the prince's party, but stopping the trial will not only offend the sixth elder brother, but also can't do it in front of Kangxi. Confess that the three-day deadline is set by the imperial court, and there is absolutely no way to delay it. Besides, the prince is biased in full view, and the damage to his reputation is minor. Guo Xiu, the "big senator", is watching from the sidelines. The trial has stopped now. Maybe I will be ginseng myself when I turn back.Whether to try or not to try is a headache, Zhu Tianbao is indecisive, and has been pondering without opening his mouth.

Guo Xiu happily looked at Zhu Tianbao's embarrassment, twirled his beard, beckoned to a yamen servant, and whispered a few words in his ear, the yamen servant quickly ran to Zhu Tianbao's side, and whispered four words in his ear : "Just trial but not judgment."

Just trial or not?Zhu Tianbao rolled his eyes a few times, and immediately understood the true meaning of it - the trial is to act according to the order, it has to be tried, but the judgment, this power is left to Mr. Kangxi himself, after all, neither side Zhu Tianbao can afford to offend him.Once he made up his mind, Zhu Tianbao immediately slapped the gavel and shouted: "I am ordered to investigate the case. There is no such thing as whether it is too late or not. The witness, sister Qiao, will tell the story as soon as possible."

"Yes, my little girl obeys." Sister Qiao opened her red lips lightly, and told the story of the incident, which was no different from what Qin Hao and Guo Pu said.At this moment, not only Liu Dazui's face turned dark, but also the faces of the three evil young men were all pale, and the people in the hall even started to yell at the three evil young men.Zhu Tianbao slapped the gavel again, and said loudly: "This case is of great importance. I will go to the palace to ask for an order. The two men will be detained temporarily."
