Great Lawyer

Chapter 179

"On that night, Mrs. Xu hanged herself in shame and anger at home."

Du Jiuyan looked at Yan Zhi, "Three lives were lost because of you, but you still lived a chic life, eating your Cordyceps and Deer Whip Pills, and taking concubines from house to house."

"If you had nightmares and chanted scriptures and repented every night, you might live a few more years, but what have you done? You have the face to stand on top of this court," Du Jiuyan shouted: "In this court, demand County Magistrate Liu, ask him to give your son who also murdered a light sentence, because he wants to give you a pension!"

"Why old age!" Du Jiuyan said: "According to the law, you should not live."

Yan Zhi was trembling when he heard this, and looked sideways at Ji Zhong'an, who didn't show much expression.Yan Zhi knew that Ji Zhong'an hadn't made any preparations, and he wasn't his lawyer, so he could only talk about it himself.

He said loudly: "The story you told made the old man really angry after hearing it. If it is true, then the old man really deserves to die, but..."

"You deserve to die!" Du Jiuyan said coldly.

Yan Zhi said: "But this is not true. You have said so much and you want to overturn the case. What about your evidence? If you don't have evidence, you are just making up stories!"

Inside and outside the yamen, there was a dead silence, everyone was furious and couldn't hide their anger, wishing they could grab something immediately and go up and beat Yan Zhi to death.

It's really disgusting to live with such an animal!
"Evidence?" Du Jiuyan sneered and said, "If I don't have evidence, why should I tell you this?"

After she finished speaking, she turned her head and said to King Gui: "My lord, please send my witness to testify in court!"

"Biography!" King Gui looked at Du Jiuyan and said in a deep voice.

Yan Zhi was stunned, turned his head to look outside in panic, and saw Mrs. Liu walking slowly to the court with his two concubines and the family steward, and knelt down and said: "Mrs. Liu, please greet your lord."

"You, what are you doing here?" Yan Zhi looked at his daughter-in-law, at his concubine, at his capable steward and subordinates, in disbelief.

Du Jiuyan said: "Senior officer, how many years have you been in the Yan Mansion?"

"The villain entered the Yan Mansion at the age of 17 and followed the old man, and it has been 30 years this year." The executive said.

Du Jiuyan nodded and said, "Six years ago, on the night of the first day of August, what did you do?"

"That night, the master asked me to keep the side door open, but he didn't tell me why he kept the door open. At the time of the guard, the master suddenly told me that there was a thief in the house, and asked me to take people to the side door, no matter who saw what saw , all will be beaten to death with sticks!"

"Small man... The villain felt that things were weird, so he shirked and said that his stomach was uncomfortable. Afterwards, Yan Hu, who was just a small steward in the outer courtyard at that time, listened to what the master said, and led people to the side door. I hid in the dark I saw with my own eyes that they beat Uncle Ma to death with sticks when he entered the door. At that time, Uncle Ma fell to the ground, holding his head and begging for mercy, saying that he was Ma Yi, and that the master invited him to come."

"But no one listened to him. Uncle Ma was beaten to death in a blink of an eye. At this time, the master hurried over and said that he had hit the wrong person, so hurry up and report to the officials!" the executive said.

Yan Zhi's face was pale, and he pointed at the senior executive with trembling fingers: "You, you are talking nonsense!"

"Master. Every night for the past six years, I have dreamed about scenes from that night, and dreamed about the tragic death of Uncle Ma. Now that I have this opportunity, even if the villain dies, I will be a frank ghost and tell the truth about it." come out!"

As he said that, he kowtowed three times to Yan Zhi.

Yan Zhi's eyes darkened, and his ears were buzzing.

"Ms. Liu. Although the testimony of women cannot be used as evidence in court, if the testimony of the three of you is the same, the adults will use it at their discretion. So, you tell what you know."

Mrs. Liu saluted and said: "On the night of August [-]th, I had something to do that night. I took my mother-in-law and girl to the main courtyard to talk to my father, but I saw Mrs. Xu entered the main hall. At that time, Yan Hu was guarding outside, saying that my father had something to do. Let me come back tomorrow if I have something to do."

"I felt strange at the time, because although they were elders and juniors, it was night and it was unreasonable. I walked around and led people to stand in the garden opposite the main courtyard."

"I never saw what really happened in the main hall, but I heard Xu's cry. Half an hour later, Xu ran out of the main courtyard in disheveled clothes. The next morning, I heard Xu's cry." The news that he hanged himself at home."

"Did you see it too?" Du Jiuyan asked the two concubines.

One of the older concubines said: "Yes! After Mrs. Xu died, the master was so drunk that he beat me in the concubine's room. He wondered why the concubine was not Mrs. Xu, and said why Mrs. Xu didn't follow him. He can give Xu's brocade clothes and clothes, and he can give her the glory and wealth that Ma Yi can't give her."

"I was so shocked that I forgot to ask. Since then, I have often asked myself whether this incident is true. But I dare not say."

Another concubine said: "The master married me because he once joked that I look like Xu Shi. He said that Xu Shi is the most beautiful woman he has ever seen in his life!"

"Shut up!" Yan Zhi reprimanded: "You can't talk nonsense. It's impossible for me to say such a thing."

Everyone lowered their heads and didn't dare to look at him. Du Jiuyan looked down at Yan Zhi and said, "So many people are talking nonsense? Are so many people slandering you?" He paused, and said, "Bring the Yan pot!"

Yan Zhi sat down on the ground with a bang.

Yan Hu was brought up.Just when Mrs. Liu was invited, Yan Hu was taken to the back hall, and Jiao San did it himself, Yan Hu made a confession before letting him go to the hall.

"Master!" Yan Hu knelt down, kowtowed and said: "Master, all the younger ones are recruited, master... the younger ones are sorry for you."

Du Jiuyan said: "Yan Hu, tell me."

"Back then, it was the master who asked me to beat Ma Yi. I knew it was Ma Yi, but the master ordered me to kill him. I wanted to be in charge, so I wanted to win." Yan Hu said: "More than half a month later, I was the one who invited Mrs. Xu to come home. When Mrs. Xu was raped by the master, I was outside, saw and heard it with my own eyes."

"Yan Hu," Yan Zhi pointed at Yan Hu and said, "I have treated you well, yet you betrayed me!"

Yan Hu kowtowed, "Besides, there are countless women who come and go in the Yan Mansion, some of them were sold, but most of them were killed by the master and the uncle."

"Not only the little ones know about this matter, but many people in the mansion know about it," Yan Hu said.

Du Jiuyan looked at Yan Zhi who was covered in cold sweat, "What a kind and kind-hearted Master Yan."

"Without any conscience, you do a lot of evil. Killing your husband and taking your wife ruined the Ma family, but you have no intention of repenting. Today, six years later, your son also murdered, and you plan to use this method to exploit the law. Want to let him continue to wander in the world?!"

"This time, you are not so lucky. Your son will not be sentenced lightly because of your existence, because his father, a father who has done a lot of evil, will go to the guillotine with him!"

Du Jiuyan walked up to King Gui's case, cupped his hands and said, "My lord, you can treat this case as one case, or you can have two separate sentences, but the sentence must not be taken lightly."

King Gui nodded.

"I don't want to die, I don't want to die." Yan Changtian shook his head and looked at Du Jiuyan, "Du Jiuyan, you can't do this. My father didn't kill people, and I didn't kill people. You can't do this."

Du Jiuyan stared at him and sneered, "Whether you killed someone or not, and whether you should die or not is not up to me, Du Jiuyan."

"It's this sky, this earth, this law, this human justice."

"What you did, what you didn't do, will not only God knows you know. One day, it will break out from your body like a rotten sore, fester, and the stench will make you no longer able to hide him , put on a piece of human skin, and become a human being!"

"No, no!" Yan Changtian looked back at Yan Zhi, "Father, help me!"

Yan Zhi stroked his chest, pointed at Du Jiuyan angrily, and said, "There is a god standing three feet up, Du Jiuyan, you will be struck by lightning if you slander me with black and white."

"Before the thunder strikes, I will kill you too." Du Jiuyan turned around, grabbed the gavel on the table and fell it with a slap, "According to the laws of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Yan Zhi committed the order, and the crime of murder is committed. The crime of treachery and possession, both crimes should be punished together, should be executed by beheading!"

Behind her, King Gui stretched out his hand to grab the gavel and withdrew it.

"You, you!" Yan Zhi pointed at her, grabbed his chest suddenly, and fell straight on the ground.

Yan Changtian roared, "Father!"

There was an uproar inside and outside the yamen.

King Gui said: "Please come, doctor!"

"Father." Yan Changtian rushed over and shook Yan Zhi, "Father, wake up, you want to save me, I don't want to die!"

Du Jiuyan turned around and stood facing the wall with his hands behind his back, his back was lonely and sad.

She didn't handle this case properly, but she doesn't regret it, even if it happens again, she will still do it...

Even if she can no longer stand in the court she loves, she will not regret it.

She is going to kill the father and son, so that the souls who died in their hands can rest in peace!
The corpse doctor came over and said after the examination: "My lord, I have passed away."

"My son..." Next door, Mrs. Cai burst into tears, "My son, did you hear that, the person who harmed you today has received retribution and punishment, my son..."

"Yan Zhi, you go, you go to the Yincao Difu, my family is waiting for you in the Yincao Difu, even if I die, I will not give up!"

As she said, Cai rushed out, her eyes were blood red, she stared at Yan Zhi who was lying on the ground, she pounced on him, lay on his ear which always made people feel kind, she opened her mouth and bit, firmly.

Then, she got up with a mouth full of blood, spat out the ear, and said with a smile: "It is said that ghosts have the same face after going to the underworld. Today I bit off one of his ears. When I go, I won't miss it." recognize him."

Mrs. Cai wiped her mouth, looked up at Du Jiuyan whose back was turned to this side, a smile appeared on her old blood-stained face, and she said: "For six years, women have lived in the world just to wait for one day, For my son's case to be cleared, I thought I would have to wait another six or even 60 years, but I didn't expect it to happen today."

"Mr. Du, the women are getting old, and they don't have a wealth of wealth to thank you. They can't serve you like a cow or a horse for the rest of their lives. If the women can be reborn as human beings in the next life, they will spend their whole lives to repay the kindness of your husband!"

As Cai said, he suddenly took out half a piece of scissors from his bosom, and stabbed it at the neck.

"Don't!" Du Jiuyan turned around, but his hand touched Cai's wrist, and the other hand held Cai's hand in front of her. She turned her eyes in a daze, and saw Gui Wang frowned and shouted: "Wicked man!" You deserve to die, why are you dying, live well!"

Saying that, he snatched Cai's scissors, and knocked Cai unconscious with a horizontal palm, he said: "Jiao San, take her to the back office to rest."

Jiao San helped Mrs. Cai down.

Du Jiuyan looked at King Gui, who smiled awkwardly, subconsciously hid his hands behind his back, and said, "I, I let her calm down, I have to, hehe."

　King Gui said, ha ha!Guess what he was thinking when he saw Du Jiuyan turn his head?
