Wang Baozhong comforted her and said, "Miss, this may be a means for His Highness to resolve the case!" I estimate that there will be a reversal later! "
Zhao Yiqiu thought of the case of Chen Xiaomu's trial of Huang Qide just now, and felt that what Wang Baozhong said was reasonable, so he didn't say anything.
After a brief shock, Wang Liangdi finally came to her senses and immediately refuted loudly: "My lord, the little girl was molested by Yu Chengwen that day. Several people witnessed it with their own eyes, and they were all willing to go to the government to testify for the little girl. Now I don't know what the lord is doing." Why are you making false accusations against me without any evidence?"
Chen Xiaomu said seriously: "Since I witnessed it with my own eyes, why didn't they step forward to stop it?"
Wang Liangdi's face turned red after hearing this. After hesitating for a while, she lowered her head and whispered, "I was only seen by them when I ran out of the gate of Yu Chengwen's house after being molested!"
"Oh!" Chen Xiaomu said in surprise: "It turns out that you were seen by several witnesses when you ran out of Yu Chengwen's house. In other words, they did not see Yu Chengwen molesting you at the scene, right? "
Wang Liangdi nodded blankly.
Chen Xiaomu continued: "That's right. All they can prove is that you ran out of Yu Chengwen's house dressed disheveled, and it doesn't conflict with me that you and Yu Chengwen have an affair!"
Wang Liangdi hurriedly argued after hearing this: "Master, Yu Chengwen and I have never known each other, so how can we talk about an affair?"
"You two don't know each other, so why did you come to Yu Chengwen's house for no reason?" Chen Xiaomu asked.
Wang Liangdi said angrily: "My lord, when Mr. Jia heard the case earlier, the little girl already said it! I went to Yu Chengwen's house to ask him to write a letter for me and send it back to my parents' home in Dingzhou. Didn't the lord look at Mr. Jia?" The case file left behind?"
Chen Xiaomu smiled "haha" and continued to ask: "I have read the case file that Mr. Jia handed over before leaving, but there is something unclear in it. I remember that the case file stated that you heard someone say that Yu Chengwen's writing style is good. , I just went to him to write a letter home, but what puzzles me is! An ordinary letter home is just about some big and small things at home. It just needs to be written clearly. It doesn’t necessarily have to be a good writer. Would you like someone to write it? Therefore, I infer that you and Yu Chengwen have known each other since birth, so going to him to write a letter home is nothing more than a pretext for you!"
When Wang Liangdi heard this, she hurriedly defended: "My lord, you don't know something. My brother is still the head of Yuntai County under Dingzhou. He has always been very strict with the writing of documents. The little girl is also afraid that my brother will receive it." I blamed him after the letter, so I went to find Yu Chengwen to write it for me!"
When Chen Xiaomu heard this, he immediately laughed and said: "Wang Liangdi, after hearing what you said, I can't understand it even more. You have an elder brother who is very good at writing and very demanding, but you don't even have a letter from home." You can’t even write it, and you have to spend money to find someone to write it for you. I’m afraid no one will believe you!”
''this……! Wang Liangdi hesitated for a moment and said reluctantly: "My lord, my little girl has been born with a dull mind since she was a child. In addition, she doesn't like to read and practice essays, so now she can't even write a letter home!" "
Chen Xiaomu did not pursue the question further, and then asked her another question: "Wang Liangdi, I saw in the case file left by Mr. Jia that you asked Yu Chengwen to write a letter home and actually gave him two taels of silver, and Yu Chengwen usually When writing letters to people on the street, you can only charge a maximum of twenty or thirty cents each time. The difference is nearly a hundred times. Besides, you can easily find someone much more famous than Yu Chengwen to write letters for you with these twenty taels of silver. Why? But you want to find him?"
Wang Liangdi was stunned when she heard this, and said in a solemn voice: "Because the little girl has been married to the new capital for a short time, she is not familiar with the people nearby. She also heard from the family that Yu Cheng wrote good letters, so she went to his home!"
Wang Liangdi had just finished speaking, and before Chen Xiaomu could ask another question, a middle-aged fat man wearing a brocade hat and a mink fur coat, with a shiny face and a fat face, suddenly squeezed out from the crowd watching the excitement at the door. He walked up to the public case with a shy belly, pointed at Yu Chengwen who was sitting on the chair, and asked loudly: "Master Qingtian, the rapist is here, why don't you arrest him? Why don't you let him sit down?" on the chair!"
Chen Xiaomu's face immediately darkened, and he said angrily: "Who are you? Do you know what the crime of Roaring in Court is?"
The fat man didn't seem to take Chen Xiaomu's warning seriously at all. Instead, he walked up to Yu Chengwen arrogantly and suddenly slapped Yu Chengwen's big mouth!
The courtroom instantly fell silent. Everyone was shocked by the arrogant fat man. Zhuge Cheng, who was mixed in the crowd, saw this situation and his face suddenly turned pale. He couldn't help complaining in his heart, thinking to himself: "Something bad has happened." , How can this rich man be so reckless!"
Chen Xiaomu was stunned for a moment and immediately realized what was happening. He even forgot to take the gavel. He pointed his finger straight at the fat man and shouted angrily: "Get the person who caused trouble in the court!"
When the yamen on duty on both sides of the court heard the sound, they immediately surrounded the fat man and prepared to take him down. However, the fat man was not afraid at all. He looked sideways at the yamen who were surrounding him and laughed wildly: "I wonder which of you dares to come here and touch me. There is not a single hair on his body, I will not spare him today!"
When the officials who were surrounding him heard this, they didn't know how old this person was, but they were frightened by his big words. They all stood there and looked at each other, not knowing what to do for a while.
At this time, Wang Liangdi, who was kneeling in front of the public case, saw this scene and thought that her husband had brought in reinforcements. She immediately stood up from the front of the public case, patted the dust on her knees with her palms, and then boasted to the angry Chen Xiaomu in front of her: " Official, do you know who my master is? If I tell you, I will scare you to death!"
Chen Xiaomu laughed angrily. Holding back the anger in his heart, he lifted his official robe and sat down on the chair again. He looked at Wang Liangdi and smiled and said: "Oh! According to what the young lady said, your master is also an important minister in the court! It's just that! I have also stayed in the court for two days, how come I am so unfamiliar with this gentleman in front of me?"
Wang Liangdi blushed when she heard this. She did not dare to let her husband Wu Guanglu openly pretend to be an official. She hurriedly said: "Although my master is not an official, he is a prince of the current dynasty...!"
"Madam, please don't talk nonsense!" Before Wang Liangdi could finish her words, she was interrupted by Wu Guanglu. He cupped his fists at Chen Xiaomu and said with a smile, "Master Qingtian, Wu was a little impatient just now, so I apologize to you now!"
Chen Xiaomu said with a smile: "Exceptor Wu, if apology is useful, then why do we need the law in Zheng State?" After saying that, he waved his hand to Wei Yuxin behind him: "Quick, Inspector Wei, jail this man who caused trouble in the court. I’ll take it!”
"Yes" Wei Yu responded in his heart, and then he lightly tapped the toes of his feet on the ground and flew up. Before Wu Guanglu could react, someone had already come to him, quickly grabbed his wrist, and then suddenly made a big blow. Turning around, he threw him over his shoulder, and there was a "plop" sound, which made the courtroom floor shake. Wu Guanglu's fat body was thrown to the ground like a sandbag, and then Wei Yuxin didn't wait for him to cry out. When he heard the sound, he knelt down on his back with one knee, twisted his hands behind his body, then took off the shackles just issued today from his waist, and locked Wu Guanglu's hands together with a "click"!
This operation was like flowing clouds and flowing water. Wei Yuxin completed it neatly and neatly in a very short period of time, without any trace of sloppiness! I'm afraid even an old policeman who has worked in the government office for more than ten years would not have the skills like her!
After Wei Yuxin grabbed the clothes on Wu Guanglu's back and lifted him up from the ground, Wu Guanglu realized in hindsight: "Ouch, ouch" and wailed loudly.
When Wang Liangdi was shocked, she suddenly caught a glimpse of Wu Guanglu's niece looking eager to try in the crowd. She suddenly felt confident in her heart. In order to express herself in front of the Wu family, she immediately put her hands on her hips, stepped forward and cursed at Wei Yuxin: " You ugly woman, do you know who my master is? You dare to deal with him so harshly, do you not want to live anymore?"
Wei Yuxin held the shackles that locked Wu Guanglu's hands in her hands and turned a deaf ear to Wang Liangdi's abuse in front of her. She didn't even bother to look at her. She only listened to Chen Xiaomu and arrested whoever Chen Xiaomu asked her to arrest.
Chen Xiaomu picked up the gavel and slapped it on the case, and said to Yuan Youfu and Xie Jincai: "I now order you two to take down this prisoner who is roaring in the court!"
"Ah, this...!" Yuan Youfu and Xie Jincai were startled when they heard the sound, and couldn't help but secretly moan in their hearts. On the way back with Wang Liangdi, Li Jiange, after giving each of them two hundred taels of silver notes, warned the two of them that the identity of the Wu family was not simple. The Taiwei, a first-rank official in the imperial court, was his close relative, so he came to the court. We must try our best to protect this woman. Even when it is absolutely necessary, we must do it gently and lightly. We must not let her suffer physical pain! "
At that moment, Yuan Youfu and Xie Jincai looked at each other, looking a little at a loss for a moment. Chen Xiaomu saw the two of them cowering, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth. He continued to threaten the two of them: "You two must listen clearly. If you disobey the superior in court, Those who are ordered to do so will be given twenty sticks first, then expelled from the court, and will never be hired again!"
When Yuan Youfu and Xie Jincai heard this, they were shocked. They had no choice but to walk to Wang Liangdi and twist her arms one by one. Unexpectedly, Wang Liangdi's fierce energy was suddenly aroused, and the two With a vigorous flick of his arms, he easily broke free from the control of the two men and rushed to Chen Xiaomu's case. He pointed his finger at him and cursed angrily: "Foolish official, I am the one who suffers. You have received so many benefits from the Yu family, but you are here in the courtroom." So confusing right and wrong?"
Chen Xiaomu sat motionless behind the public case, looking at Wang Liangdi with an indifferent expression and said with a smile: "Oh, according to what Madam said, I am the corrupt official that everyone reviled?"
Wang Liangdi put her hands on her hips and said angrily: "If you are not greedy, why are you so unfair in the court? I and my husband will go to the Taiwei to sue you!"
"Haha." Chen Xiaomu laughed and said, "Madam, do you want to remind me that the current prince is your Wu family's backstage?"
Wang Liangdi rolled her eyelids, rolled her eyes at Chen Xiaomu, and said proudly: "Master, even a woman like me knows that those who understand the current affairs are heroes. Why do you need to embarrass my Wu family for a military household?"
Chen Xiaomu smiled and said: "Madam, if I don't understand current affairs, what will happen to you?"
"You...!" Wang Liangdi was speechless for a moment, her pretty face flushed with anger, her almond-shaped eyes staring at Chen Xiaomu but speechless.
Chen Xiaomu ignored her, raised his eyes and said to Yuan and Xie who were standing behind Wang Liangdi: "What's going on? Do you two want to eat sticks?"
Hearing this, Yuan and Xie had no choice but to come up and grab Wang Liangdi's arms again. Wang Liangdi became stubborn and swung her arms upwards, once again breaking away from the control of Yuan Youfu and Xie Jincai. He angrily yelled at Chen Xiaomu: "Foolish official, if you don't catch the ready-made rapist in court, why do you want to catch me, the victim who has suffered so much?"
"That's right! Why did you let the rapist in front of you go without arresting me, but you insisted on arresting my mother-in-law and uncle?" Before Chen Xiaomu could answer, a young girl suddenly rushed out of the crowd watching the excitement and rushed to the public case table with an angry look. He asked Chen Xiaomu.
Chen Xiaomu was stunned by the sudden appearance of the girl in front of him, and then smiled bitterly and said: "Hey, little girl, this is a government court. Do you know that you will be slapped with a slap in the face if you trespass in the court?"
Then he thought for a while, waved his hand and said, "Quickly exit while I'm out of breath!"
"Humph, if I don't quit, what can you do to me?" The girl crossed her arms over her chest and raised her head in a arrogant posture.
Chen Xiaomu threatened her and said, "Little girl, if you don't listen to my good advice, I will really ask the Yamen to spank you with a paddle!"
Wang Liangdi sneered and said: "My lord, to tell you the truth, this woman is the wife of Lord Zhuge, the commander-in-chief of the Zheng Kingdom. You should think twice before you act!"
When Chen Xiaomu heard about it, he quickly stood up from the official hat chair behind the public case, raised his hands to the girl and said, "Oh, it turns out it's the Taiwei's wife who has arrived. I'm disrespectful!" Then he pretended to be concerned and said, "Madam, it's the Taiwei. Did the Lord send you here specially?"
"This...!" The girl was stunned, not knowing how to answer.
Su Xingran in the crowd glanced at Zhuge Cheng when he heard the sound, and asked him in a low voice: "Master Zhuge, the government office is reviewing the case, why did you send your wife here to do it?"
