As a medical concubine

Chapter 175 Confronting Bo in court (5)
Liao Zicheng said again: "I must remind you that the result of this trial must not violate the requirements for judges in the "Northern Qi Law". Without a fair trial, the result of its vote may be deemed invalid."

Yan Kuan, Wang Qing, and Li Zhiyuan are all officials who are diligent and caring for the people. They don't have any worries about this, so they answered "yes" with a smile.

Liao Zicheng sat down on the middle seat, glanced coldly, and said, "Let's open!"

"mighty--"

Wu Xiumei and Lu Gao were brought up one after the other.

The two knelt down and accepted the trial of the yamen.

Liao Zicheng patted the gavel, and asked Wu Xiumei calmly: "Who is in the hall? Age, place of origin?"

"Wu Xiumei, 39 years old, from Jianyang, Fujian."

"Why?"

A flash of resentment flashed in Wu Xiumei's eyes, she clenched her fists and said, "The women want to sue Lu Gao, the deputy commander of the Langya Navy, to stop his wife from remarrying and abandoning his wife!"

Lu Gao's heart skipped a beat, and he glanced sideways at Wu Xiumei!
Liao Zicheng said calmly, "Wu Xiumei, tell the whole story from the beginning."

"25 years ago, a civilian woman married Lu Gao as his wife. At that time, our family was poor and our life was very hard. I farmed, fished, and weaved frames every day. I paid him tuition for his studies, and let him start from a Tongsheng was admitted to be a scholar, and he was admitted to Juren. Twenty years ago, I gave birth to a pair of twin sons for him. Within a month, he went to Beijing to take the exam and never came back! I put all the family inheritance in his bag Pity my sons, because I don’t have enough nutrition and milk, I’m always so hungry... Howling and crying... I’m alone, with two children, I don’t dare to fish anymore, so I can only farm , weaving frames, and selling scallion pancakes. Whether it’s cold or hot, I’m fine. I’m an adult and I can handle it, but my children… they’re so small… they’re so young, they want to blow the cold wind with me on the side of the road… When they were born, the eldest was four catties, and the second was less than three catties..."

As Wu Xiumei talked, she gradually became incoherent. She just held the baby in her arms, with tears all over her face, "I managed to drag them until they were six years old, but suddenly I received a letter saying that Lu Gao was dead. But after many years Today, not only did he not die, he became a high official, married a beautiful wife, and gave birth to another child! Pity my son who was forced by life to join the army... Both died in battle..."

Liao Zicheng took a fixed look at Wu Xiumei who was sobbing, and then asked Lu Gao seriously: "Wu Xiumei sued you to suspend your wife, remarry, and abandon your wife. Can you plead guilty?"

Lu Gao beat his chest and cried: "I am wronged, my lord! I never did such a thing! Please don't believe her one-sided words, my lord! I have nothing to do with her!"

"Lu Gao! You bastard!" Wu Xiumei was trembling with anger, and was about to throw her fist at him to hit him, but a yamen servant grabbed her hand sharply.

Lu Gao covered his head with his arms, and said to Liao Zicheng: "My lord, you have seen that this woman went crazy as soon as she came up! Her words are really unbelievable!"

"Bring both litigators to court."

Liao Zicheng gave an order, and Gao Lianshi and Yu Bin walked into the lobby.Gao Litigation Master was over forty years old, with a thin figure, wearing a gray straight fall robe, an amber jade belt tied around his waist, and a yellow amulet that had been illuminated on the right side.Beside him was Yu Bin, who wore a crescent moon and silver-patterned wide sleeves, and was tied with a long golden tassel. His figure was as tall and straight as green bamboo and green pine, and his temperament was as elegant as orchids and white chrysanthemums.

The moment Gao Litigation, who was clearly sure of winning, saw Yu Bin, his eyelids twitched violently.

Yu Bin cupped his hands in a friendly manner: "Master Gao, long time no see."

Yan Kuan's expression froze, Yu Bin? !what the hell?

Hua Zhu, who was peeking in the side hall with Yan Bo, was also stunned when she saw Yu Bin walk up to Lu Gao and salute the people in the hall with a folding fan in his hand.

Hua Zhu glared at Yan Bo, and asked in a low voice, "Didn't it mean that he couldn't be Lu Gao's lawyer? What happened?"

Yan Bo spread his hands innocently, and replied in a low voice: "I thought he was here to propose marriage!"

Liao Zicheng seemed to have noticed the movement in the side hall, and turned his head to look to the right. Huazhu quickly squatted down, letting the table hide his figure.

Liao Zicheng withdrew his gaze and looked at Yu Bin and Gao Litigation Calmly: "You can ask Lu Gao and Wu Xiumei questions, if you feel that the other party asked questions that are not related to the case during the questioning, or induced them to engage in unreasonable Assuming that you can raise an objection, this official will rule on the content of your objection, whether it is valid or invalid. If it is valid, it can continue, and if it is invalid, it must be terminated immediately."

"Yes!" The two agreed at the same time.

Yu Bin asked Wu Xiumei first.

Yu Bin took a few steps forward, turned half sideways, and looked at Wu Xiumei: "Can I ask you a few questions?"

Wu Xiumei cast a bewildered look at Gao Lianshi, and Gao Lianshi returned her an encouraging look.Wu Xiumei nodded: "OK."

"Do you know the man kneeling next to you?"

"know."

"Who is he?"

"Lugo."

"Who is Luga?"

"my husband."

"Before Langya, how long have you not seen each other?"

"Almost... 20 years."

"Where did you live before then?"

"Fujian Jianyang, Nanping Jianyang."

Yu Bin took out a white marble statue from the box he carried with him and asked, "Do you know this thing?"

Wu Xiumei nodded: "I know. She is Mazu, and we Nanping people believe in it."

"Including yourself?"

"Yes."

"How long have you believed in Mazu?"

"Since I was sensible, I followed my parents to worship Mazu."

"So, at least 30 years." Yu Bin nodded thoughtfully, put the white marble statue back into the box, closed the lid, and continued to ask, "On the night of January 23, you were introduced to the Admiral's Mansion by Miss Nian To do something, you and a maid named Yunya are each carrying a basket of oranges to Liuyin Pavilion where the admiral lives. Halfway, you suddenly heard the sound of someone falling into the water behind you, and you jumped down to rescue them. It turns out that the rescued person is Lu Gao, your ex-husband, right?"
