Reborn Farmhouse: Planting Fields, Flirting with People

Chapter 296 Opening the Trial (5)

As the Li Zheng of a village, Li Shouyi often dealt with the government, so he was not afraid.

"Li Zheng, Li Shouyi, Li Shouyi, met the county magistrate."

He Zhixian nodded: "Get up and answer. Li Shouyi, you must not lie in the courtroom. You must answer the official's questions truthfully."

"Yes."

"Li Shouyi, you are the head of the village of the Li family. Let me ask you, Li Shou, how is his conduct? His parents are still alive at home. Why did he propose to separate the family, and why was he adopted again, thus severing his life from his biological parents? contact?"

Old man Li stood aside anxiously, his right eyelid twitched and his heart pounded.

Li Shouyi calmly replied: "As far as my lord is concerned, Li Shou is honest and honest, and his family has a very good reputation in the village. As for the separation of the family, the villain and many other clan members were present, and they are also witnesses. Forced helpless.

At that time, Li Jiaxing and his wife wanted to sell Li Shou's twin daughters and make them slaves, but Li Shou refused to do so, so they proposed to separate the family.In a fit of anger, Li Jiaxing wanted to drive him out of the family. My patriarch of the Li clan had a kind heart, so he adopted him as his heir under the name of the late clan member Li Jiayuan.

After Li Shou adopted, Li Jiaxing and his wife felt unwilling and came to the house many times to make troubles.What's more, Mrs. Li packed stones in sacks and sold them to Li Shou as sweet potatoes.Li Shou thought of their kindness in raising her, and couldn't bear to send her to the government for disposal.Then the patriarch made a decision and told them to cut off contact. "

What he said was very different from what old man Li said earlier, and the audience was in an uproar.

The people discussed a lot. Some people questioned Li Shouyi's words, while others accused the old man Li and his wife of being unscrupulous.

The old patriarch and several respected elders stood up and responded, saying that they were there at the time and could testify that what Li Shouyi said was true.

Then, Li Shouyi presented two more physical evidences. One was the contract of sale written by old man Li himself when he wanted to sell Mingxiang and Mingxiu; There are records.

This is the ironclad evidence.

He Zhixian looked down at the physical evidence in his hand, and looked sharply at old man Li.

Old man Li was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat, but he still stood there pretending to be calm.People say that it is difficult for an honest official to decide on family affairs, and the county magistrate can't punish him for this.

He Zhixian continued to ask: "Li Shouyi, how much do you know about Li Shou's theft of Li Jiaxing's ancestral secret book?"

Li Shouyi answered truthfully: "As my lord said, the villain doesn't know about this matter. However, this matter is also a bit strange. The Li family belongs to the same clan and has been passed down for hundreds of years, but the villain has never heard the elders in the family mention it." The family has secret books handed down from their ancestors."

"Li Jiaxing, how do you explain this matter?"

Old man Li wiped off his cold sweat, and continued to make up nonsense: "My lord, the secret book was inherited by Cao Min's mother, and has nothing to do with the Li family."

At this point in the trial of the case, He Zhixian had already made up his mind. He turned his head and gave Master Feng a look.

Master Feng at the side immediately understood, and sang and shouted: "Witness passer, Li Mingyue will go to court."

At Nanny Zhuang's strong request, Li Mingyue appeared wearing a veiled hat.

"Li Shou's second daughter, Li Mingyue, has met the magistrate."

He Zhixian called out.

"Jiang Butou said, that ancestral secret book is in your possession?"

Li Mingyue bent her knees, and took out three dilapidated ancient books from her bosom. The colors of the book covers were still vaguely discernible, in order of blue, yellow, and blue.
