Hu Dashan was so anxious that his hands trembled as he looked at Li Laowu, who was lying so profusely.
Gu Qingqing couldn't believe that this was Uncle Li who he greeted every day with great enthusiasm!
Liu Qian'er looked pale and at a loss.
Gu Zhengchen raised his hand and stopped Hu Dashan who wanted to speak, and only looked at Li Laowu quietly.
Li Laowu glanced at Gu Zhengchen and continued: "At that time, he rushed out of the crowd with his guards and beat people without explanation. His guards also brought knives, and he also beat Fei Qiang with a stick..."
Zhang Yulin lowered his head and looked at Fei Ju out of the corner of his eye.
It’s not that Zhang Yulin doesn’t know the whole story, but in this world, the truth is sometimes not the most important thing. What’s more important is the complacency and self-preservation under power!
This is the energy of the Hou Mansion. After just one night, the truth was tampered with!
And it was not just Li Laowu who had his confession changed, but also Zhang San, Wang Wu, Zhao Jiu, etc.
When the witnesses came to court one by one and the confessions were laid out one by one, Zhang Yulin was even a little dazed, really thinking that what was said in the testimony was the truth!
Zhang Yulin ordered someone to post it, collected the call sheet, and looked at Gu Zhengchen: "The government office has found several witnesses, and they all said that the sugar shop bullied people too much, and you also beat Fei Qiang and his bodyguards. The confessions of these people are consistent with The words in the petition you submitted are completely different, what else can you say?"
Gu Zhengchen looked at Li Laowu and others, and knew from the expressions of Hu Dashan, Gu Qingqing and others that these were businessmen around the sugar shop, but they no longer had the friendship they had in the past, and only had cold interests. .
Perhaps, they had no choice but to do so.
Faced with the coercion of the Hou Mansion, what can these businessmen do except bow their heads?
Gu Zhengchen looked at Zhang Yulin and shook his head slightly: "So, it's me, the villain, who complained first?"
Zhang Yulin said with a cold face: "The witnesses' testimonies are all here, and everyone can see them. Is it possible that they are all lying?"
Gu Zhengchen grinned: "I'm not lying. I think Zhang Fuyin knows it very well, and Li Laowu and the others know it even better!"
Zhao Hai scolded from the side: "These witnesses have all seen it with their own eyes and heard it with their own ears. It was the sugar store that made the mistake first, you deceived others later, Fei Qiang is just the victim, and the evidence is solid, you still dare to quibble here. Fu Yin, in my opinion, this person is familiar with the laws and regulations and is eloquent. He will definitely not plead guilty easily. He should be punished to let him know the majesty of the Fu Yamen!"
Zhang Yulin stretched out his hand towards the gavel and stared at Gu Zhengchen: "Do you have anything else to say?"
Gu Zhengchen narrowed his eyes and looked at Zhang Yulin and asked calmly: "Zhang Fuyin wants to use the confessions of these people to convict me. Isn't this inappropriate?"
Zhao Hai shouted: "Why not? Everyone agrees. It is clear that you are the one who did the evil!"
Zhang Yulin glared at Zhao Hai and looked at Gu Zhengchen without speaking.
Gu Zhengchen raised his hand, pointed to several confessions on the table, smiled and said: "If they tell the truth, there will be no flaws in this confession. But they are perjuring themselves, and the person who asked them to perjury is still Pretending to be smart, I expressed it from each of them’s perspective, haha, but these sets of testimonies just show that they are lying!”
Zhang Yulin was puzzled.
Gu Zhengchen looked at Li Laowu: "Shopkeeper Li said that Fei Qiang fell on the guardrail. I dare to ask Shopkeeper Li, how did Fei Qiang fall when you saw him?"
Li Laowu was a little flustered and said uneasily: "Yes, lying down, yes, lying down."
Gu Zhengchen looked at Zhang San: "But in Zhang San's confession, Fei Qiang fell with his back against the guardrail. And Shopkeeper Wang, he said that the guardrail hit Fei Qiang's foot, and he did not say that he fell. Zhao When the owner testified, he said that the guardrail collapsed and crushed Fei Qiang. I dare to ask Zhang Fuyin, since the four people saw it together, the same person, the same time, and the same place, why are there four different statements? "
"Is it possible that this young master Fei Qiangfei first lay on the guardrail, then lay on the guardrail, then smashed his foot, and was pressed down by the guardrail again? Haha, such a weird scene, how could Gu If you can't do that, why not let Fei Qiang perform a show to see what happened at that time, and then the person who lied and gave perjury will be sentenced according to the law and order of 'testifying without romance'?"
Li Laowu, Zhang San, Wang Wu, and Zhao Jiu suddenly panicked. If they were sentenced by the government for "perjury", then the crime would be severe enough, ranging from flogging to caning!
The four of them were uneasy when Gu Zhengchen spoke again: "Someone among these four must have perjured themselves. Not only did they know that they perjured themselves, but they also stood up to testify and blatantly defied the court's laws. They should be punished with the same crime as the criminals!"
"Judging from Fei Qiang's three crimes, it's not much, that is, it's a matter of dozens of slaps and dozens of dollars of compensation. Shopkeeper Li has a lot of money, Dong Zhao's family is also well-off, shopkeeper Wang and Zhang are not poor, but that's it. Body and bones... Of course, if he confesses truthfully and repentes, the government can also forgive his previous crimes and not pursue them!"
After Gu Zhengchen finished speaking, he patted Zhang San on the shoulder.
Zhang Yulin looked at Gu Zhengchen, who seemed to be strolling around, and secretly gritted his teeth. Those who didn't know better thought you were the prefect!
Zhang San trembled and said quickly: "I, I made a mistake. Fei Qiang was lying on the ground..."
Gu Zhengchen said sternly: "You must think clearly. If the injury test is negative, you will be completely finished. Think about your family, how they will live without you!"
Zhang San looked at Zhang Yulin with a sad face. He really couldn't bear the pressure and confessed directly: "Master Fu Yin, the common people are guilty. Someone gave me five guan of money last night and asked me to use his words to frame Hu from the sugar store. Boss..."
Fei Qiang's face was dark.
Fei Ju stood up and said sternly: "Whoever dares to frame the Pingliang Hou Mansion must consider the consequences!"
Zhang San wanted to die.
For the benefit of five guans of money, he actually betrayed his conscience, and now he is riding a tiger with difficulty!
Li Laowu, Zhao Jiu and others were also uneasy. Gu Zhengchen was a powerful character. He was not just pinched to death by someone. He was a thoughtful person and could remain absolutely calm and sober despite unfavorable testimony. Find the flaw!
Zhang San is a soft persimmon, with no position and no brains. He confesses as soon as he is frightened, but if he carries it on his own, what good will he gain?
To stand up and testify, but to make false accusations is indeed to be guilty of the same crime as the sinner.
The Hou Mansion has a lot of energy. Even if Fei Qiang is sentenced to a cane sentence, it will not be a big deal if it runs smoothly, whether it is redemption or bribery of the government officials.
But what about your own home?
With such a small family and such an age, if someone refuses to let him redeem his sentence and slaps dozens of people one by one, wouldn't it mean that he will die?
Gu Zhengchen looked at Fei Ju and said coldly: "When they framed me before, Mr. Hou didn't stand up and say a word. Now that the situation is not good for the Hou family, he jumped out. This can't help but make people suspicious. To Zhang San Did you give me the five dollars for perjury?"
Fei Ju walked toward Gu Zhengchen step by step with a murderous look on his face, holding his sword in his hand: "Have you ever thought about the consequences of being so disrespectful to the Marquis of the Court?"
