Chapter 881 Who is the portrait
Lord Fu Yin gave Yang Siyuan and his son an annoyed look without any concealment, and slapped the gavel hard.

"Yang Siyuan, how do you explain it? You have been an official for many years, but you are lawless? How did you try cases in the past? Are you a stupid official who carelessly ignores human life? No official, no job, and dare to bully others? You bring people to your door to beat women and children , Extorting a confession by torture! How courageous!"

"My lord! I...! We...!" Yang Siyuan was tongue-tied and didn't know how to defend himself. His body was sweating profusely. His experience in the officialdom told him that the retrial of this trial would probably be bad for him.

Yang Mi's forehead was also sweating, her ears were buzzing, she lowered her head slightly, and glanced unkindly at the four bustards, all the more convinced that there must be someone behind them to back them up, otherwise the women would have been scared to death in the courtroom. Their legs are weak, and they can't speak well. How can they be like them, and they shout louder and louder.

"Master Fu Yin, our father and son admit that we did not do well in obtaining evidence, but there is a reason for it. Women like them can speak eloquently, and they can talk about death. They can't be persuaded by nice words. To be honest, so I can only use some tough measures."

Yang Mi boldly stepped forward to explain.

After hearing this, Fu Yin narrowed his eyes slightly, his face looked better, and he was not as angry as before.

The bustards grinned and were about to cry again. The sewage poured down from their heads, making them very unwilling to do so.

Seeing this, Fu Yin slapped the gavel in time to scare their emotions back, and then signaled the yamen servant to take the neighbors down and pass Tang Lin's two sons to court.

"Forget it, it's getting late, let's put aside your matter of extorting confessions for now, let's get down to business first, and confirm who is in the portrait."

"Your Majesty Fuyin, just rest assured that this person must be Tang Lin. He is an old man from the Jiaofang Division. He was born as an official. He has a style of demeanor and knows the way of this business. He tricked a few bustards to follow him to Dacheng Mansion. It's a piece of cake." Yang Mi smiled confidently, and Yang Siyuan also heaved a sigh of relief.

In a short time, Tang Lin's two sons brought them to the hall, and after kowtowing, they reported their identity as proof of identity. The governor asked a question, and they answered a question about their father Tang Lin's whereabouts. The two brothers followed the agreement discussed last night. , insisting that his father went out to do business, and the family did not know where he went after leaving the capital.

"Now someone accuses your father Tang Lin of going to Dacheng Mansion to set up a trap to frame King Yu, can you admit to knowing?"

"We don't know! We don't know! My lord! Please learn from me!" The two brothers kowtowed vigorously, their faces pale and pale.

Fu Yin held up the gavel and patted it, interrupting the self-mutilation of the Tang family brothers.

"Don't be so busy complaining about injustice. Here is a portrait that was dictated by witnesses. Let me show you first. You should recognize the portrait of your own father, right?"

As soon as Fu Yin finished speaking, a yamen servant took the portrait and held it in front of the two brothers.

Seeing the portrait being handed over, Bai Kou couldn't help becoming nervous again, and squeezed Gu Yun's hand back hard. She had a strong hand in the first place, but this sudden clenching without restraint immediately made him feel pain in his finger bones.

Gu Yun didn't say a word, didn't move his hand, and let Bai Kou hold it so tightly. If this can give her the strength to persevere, then that's fine.

The two brothers of the Tang family were shaking like sifting chaff, with sweat all over their faces. When the portrait was handed to them, they took one, two, three trembling glances...

"what?"

"Huh!"

"Huh huh?!"

When the two brothers finally saw the portrait clearly, their eyeballs were as big as copper bells, and there were all kinds of strange noises in their mouths.

Fu Yin slapped the gavel abruptly, and shouted: "It is forbidden to make any noise in the hall! Can you recognize the person?"

The two brothers looked at each other, looked up at Fu Yin blankly, and said in unison, "My lord, this is not our father!"

"What?!" Unexpectedly, it would be such an answer, and Fu Yin was stunned for a moment.

"This is not our father!" The Tang family brothers repeated it even louder.

The observers outside the Yimen exploded with a loud bang, buzzing and discussing, and the yamen servants couldn't calm down no matter how much they shouted at them.

Amidst the chaotic voices, Bai Kou burst out laughing, and let go of Gu Yun's hand. Gu Yun felt his fingers loosen, and immediately turned his grip back, interlocking his fingers with Bai Kou.

Gu Yun glanced at Bai Kou, saw that she was really happy, with a smile on her face, the tension from the previous moment had disappeared, turned her head and looked at Gong Changji and Wei Qian, and they could see the ecstasy in each other's eyes, but now It's really not suitable for cheering and congratulations, so I hurriedly suppressed my excitement to see how this trial will develop next.

"Isn't it Tang Lin?" Fu Yin asked again and again.

"It's really not our father! My lord's lesson! How can we as sons randomly identify someone as our father! If you don't believe me, we will also bring the neighbors, and they can all testify!"

The Fu Yin immediately agreed, and then the neighbors and inspectors of Tang Lin's family came out one after another and were brought to the hall to talk. Everyone first reported their family name, and then looked at the portrait one by one, shaking their heads and repeatedly denying it.

"My lord, this is really not Tang Lin. Tang Lin is an old resident of our fang for several generations. He and his neighbors grew up watching each other. He knows how many moles he has on his body. It is impossible to mistake him." The two The inspector replies on behalf of everyone.

The most important purpose of this trial is to find out that Tang Lin is the one who went to Dacheng Mansion to set up a trap to frame King Yu, and to connect Xi Nu and Tang Lin. But judging from the current situation, today's trial It has been proven to be an outright false accusation.

Fu Yin's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot, burning with anger, he looked at Yang Siyuan and his son who were trembling and knew that a catastrophe was imminent.

"Yang Siyuan, it's in vain that you were born as a Jinshi and once served as an imperial official. In the clear sky, you dare to falsely accuse others with false evidence? Where is my Yingtian government office?!"

"My lord, I am wronged, my lord! These bitches must be making random portraits! They must be talking nonsense to make the portrait wrong! The man who colluded with them must be Tang Lin! It must be him!" Yang Siyuan was really panicked, The hand that made the bow was trembling all the time, and Yang Mi's face was even paler. Before, he stood upright with his head up and chest out, but now he wished he could shrink into a ball so that no one could see him.

"No! No! We didn't! What we said is true, that man really looks like this!" Of course, the bustards immediately shouted their grievances.

"Silence!" Fu Yin raised the gavel and patted it three times in a row, and the hall was suddenly so quiet that only the sound of everyone's breathing was heard.

"The identity of the man in the portrait is doubtful, so let's start over from the beginning. You four, answer whatever I ask you, don't be verbose."

"Yes, yes, my lord! You ask! We all say!"

The bustards nodded hurriedly, and looked expectantly at Mr. Fu Yin behind the seat.
