When they arrived at the gate of the government office, the two of them were first held aside to wait for the summons inside.
The two talented men, who had always been arrogant, were both angry and frightened by the guards. Their faces were white and rosy. Of course, the white was from fear and the red was from anger!
Xie Yushu was directly invited in.
Inside, Han Zhongyu was already sitting in the main seat. Xie Yushu was now the Fourth-Rank Township Lord and wanted to hear the case, so she was placed on the left hand side of Han Zhongyu. Qu Xiaodie and Nan Xing stood behind Han Zhongyu.
The master and others were already in their places, and Han Zhongyu clapped the gavel with a "pop" sound.
Then Liu Nan's rich voice came
"The governor is going to court, and the Lord is calling the defendant to go to court!"
Liu Nan's voice fell, and the first person to enter was Sun Chongren, and then Xiao Yuanhang and Li Mingcheng were also pushed in.
As soon as the few people stood still, they remembered a "mighty" sound, and the killing stick also banged rhythmically.
Sun Chongren looked calm, while Xiao Yuanhang and Li Mingcheng were frightened.
The two of them couldn't complain now. They originally came to block Sun Chongren, but this time it was better. They were sent to his door automatically without any room for change!
The rhythm of this killing stick is very powerful, and as soon as the sound comes out, the atmosphere immediately becomes serious.
"Mighty" originally comes from the fact that wealth cannot lead to sexual misconduct, and power cannot yield to submission.
As soon as these two words came out, it showed that he was honest and upright in the court, not afraid of the powerful, and dared to make decisions for the people. It not only inspires good people and reminds people not to fear power, but also scares bad people and makes prisoners feel oppressed, thus exposing their weaknesses.
The actual effect is also true. After the voice stopped, Sun Chongren still calmly knelt down in the hall to reveal his identity, and then tried to appeal, without even giving Xiao Yuanhang a look!
Xiao Yuanhang and Li Mingcheng, on the other hand, were timid, relying on their status as scholars and the privilege of being able to serve as officials without kneeling, so they racked their brains to get out if they wanted to kneel but didn't want to.
However, now that the occasion has come, who cares about their emotions? Ever since Sun Chongren beat the drum of grievance at the yamen gate, people have been coming to watch one after another. There were people from three floors inside and three floors outside.
Prisoners have no dignity, and of course there are no suspects in the lobby of the Yamen at this moment. No matter how embarrassed Xiao Yuanhang and the two felt, the master still raised his voice and read in order to let the people present hear the cause of the matter clearly.
"complaint
Today, in Yonghe County, Tai'an Prefecture, Sun Chongren, a villager in Badaoling, accused Xiao Yuanhang and Li Mingcheng, students of Yonghe County School in Tai'an Prefecture, of stealing Sun Chongren's policy theory and using it for cheating in the examination room.
Afterwards, Sun Chongren sought justice from the two men, but was severely injured by Xiao Yuanhang, Li Mingcheng and Cao Chengan.
The second accusation was that Xiao Yuanhang maliciously hurt people in order to prevent student Sun Chongren from entering the examination room. He loosened the stones where Sun Chongren's father rested on the mountain, causing Sun Chongren's father to fall and roll down the hillside and was seriously injured. He died two months later.
The third complaint was that Xiao Yuanhang, Li Mingcheng, and Cao Chengan, together with Yonghe County Magistrate Liu Hong, committed fraud in the examination room and disrupted the order of the scientific examination. They later violently suppressed the matter and beat the plaintiff until he was seriously injured.
Fourth, I accuse the magistrate of Yonghe County of bending the law for personal gain, abusing power for personal gain, and allowing family members to harm students. Such conduct is unworthy of being an official. Please uphold justice for the common people!
complainant
Sun Chongren"
After the master read the petition, the scene was in an uproar!
"Such a thing actually exists!"
"No way! I didn't expect that these two people's reputation as scholars were copied! They look like human beings, but they actually did such a thing!"
"You know people but don't know their hearts. Haven't you heard that the man in the blue gown killed his father? What a shame!"
"They're not good things! It's shameless to steal someone else's articles, but also beat them seriously. This is what people do! I've read all the books of sages and sages!"
"Every time dogs are slaughtered in a righteous manner, they are all scholars who are unfaithful. If you read more, you will have more eyes. It is really hard to prevent people from doing bad things!"
A group of people at the door were buzzing and pointing at Xiao Yuanhang and Li Mingcheng.
When Xiao Yuanhang heard the second article of the petition, his head was pounding and his heart was about to jump out of his chest. Now that his ears are filled with onlookers pointing at him, he is even more confused.
But thinking about the consequences of pleading guilty, he had to insist on not admitting it. Before Han Zhongyu could ask questions, he started to cry out for injustice.
"Your Excellency, you are aware that he is talking nonsense and this is a false accusation!
I don’t know anything about his father. I got the title of scholar by myself. He must be jealous of us because we passed the exam. He didn’t pass the exam and deliberately framed us! "
"Yes, sir, it's obvious that he made a false accusation. Everyone in the scientific examination depends on their ability. He was unlucky and missed the exam time. What does it have to do with us? Let's teach him a lesson. That's because he is looking for trouble for us everywhere. We are here for To protect myself, I only beat him a few times. As for Magistrate Liu shielding us and abusing power for personal gain, that is beyond the pale!
He was slapped because he falsely accused the students, disrupted the court, and violated the official authority of Magistrate Fan Liu. That's why he was slapped!
All this is his own fault and has nothing to do with us!
What's more, he didn't hit hard. Isn't he doing well now? "
Li Mingcheng didn't dare to call his brother-in-law Liu County Magistrate anymore. The two of them were of the same mind, and they just refused to admit it.
Liu Nan, Liu Bei and the others had been watching Xiao Yuanhang and Li Mingcheng for so many days, and they had already understood everything inside, and they were very disdainful of the character of these two people.
Especially knowing that Xiao Yuanhang dared to harass Xie Yushu, I had long wanted to teach him a lesson. Now I could seize an open and honest opportunity. When I saw the two of them howling and shouting, I immediately stepped forward and gave each of them several big-eared melon seeds.
"How dare you, my lord, to ask questions, how dare you two roar in court, despise your official authority, and yet not kneel down!"
After saying that, another person kicked them, causing them to kneel on the ground!
Li Mingcheng had just yelled that Sun Chongren was disturbing the court and offending Magistrate Liu's authority so he was beaten, so he returned the sentence to them.
The two of them were unprepared, and they were kicked to their knees with a thud. Their faces turned pale in pain, and they howled instinctively.
No one cares!
Han Zhongyu slapped the wooden door hard again
"Your accuser, Sun Chongren, what can you say to what Xiao Yuanhang and Li Mingcheng said?"
Although Sun Chongren was furious at the two people's shamelessness, he had the evidence in hand and was not afraid that they would not plead guilty, so he stepped forward and bowed in return.
"Sir, what the two of them said is not true. Cao Min has physical evidence of what they did. As for Cao Min's injuries, Your Majesty has already seen them. If it weren't for Doctor Xie's wonderful rejuvenation, Cao Min might still be a stall!"
Speaking of Sun Chongren's original injury, Han Zhongyu also saw his miserable state at that time, so he nodded.
"Well, bring forward the physical evidence! Pass on the witness!"
