fart?

Mr. Lu's eyebrows twitched a few times.

If possible, he really wanted to give Zhang Fei a slap in the face.

I believe this is also the sentiment of many people in the hospital.

But that doesn't mean that everyone supports Lin Fei and opposes Zhang Fei. In fact, there are still some people who support Zhang Fei.

These people are the royal relatives.

Although they were all silent, they firmly supported Zhang Fei in their hearts, because some civil cases involving the common people gave these royal relatives a headache. Not only did they face the pressure from the Queen Mother, they also had to deal with the imperial court in the DPRK. history.

If the civil case can be settled civilly, it will certainly be beneficial to them, and it will provide them with a new means.

Isn’t it just money?

If money can solve a problem, can it be considered a problem?

Many relatives of the emperor quietly came to the gate of Kaifeng Mansion to watch.

Of course Cao Ping was included among them, but he was hiding alone at the side door of the lobby, which was the door through which Mr. Lu entered and exited.

After all, he is a family member of the suspect and has a special status. It is reasonable and reasonable to give him a special seat. What if he is thrown a rotten egg?

Cao Ping certainly hopes that Zhang Fei can win this lawsuit. For him, this is the most perfect solution. If he wins in full view of the public, no one will dare to gossip in the future.

Otherwise, even if Cao Dongdong is found not guilty, he will be scolded badly.

After a while, Lin Fei and Cao Dongdong were brought to the court.

Zhang Fei glanced at Cao Dongdong and almost laughed out loud. His nose was bruised and his face was swollen, and he thought to himself, his father is really fierce.

You don't need to think about it to know that his father must have beaten him. The Kaifeng Mansion did not dare to use torture on him, although torture is legal.

At this time, Cao Dongdong was not as arrogant as before. When he came to the hall, he looked at Zhang Fei full of grievance.

Zhang Fei nodded slightly, as if to say, calm down. Brother is here, don't be afraid. But I thought in my heart, I deserve it, let your kid cover me with a sack, beat me well, beat me happily.

On the other hand, Lin Fei looked angry, as if he wanted to kill someone.

Huang Gui first bowed his hands to Lu Gongzhu and Zhang Fei.

Zhang Fei also made a gesture of invitation.

Everyone outside the hospital is looking forward to it.

This is the first public trial and both sides have defenders. In the past, in those commercial dispute cases, both sides would also invite tea talkers, but it was only limited to the exchange of pleadings. The officials would also inquire one by one, and then finally give a verdict, and they would not be allowed to debate at the same time.

Sima Guang, Xu Zun, and Wang Anshi also looked forward to it, but their perspective was different from most people. He was observing this public trial system to see if it was worth recommending to the court and then promoting it nationwide.

Huang Gui first asked Lin Fei to tell what happened.

Lin Fei excitedly recounted what happened that day, causing several angry sounds from the audience at the door, which really increased Lu Gongzhu's workload.

Taking pictures of gavel trees in this winter is also very uncomfortable. If you accidentally slap them on your thumb, it will really hurt!

In fact, he rarely tried cases in winter.

Tang Jie and others in the courtyard couldn't help but nodded in relief when they saw that the scholars at the door were all facing Lin Fei.

Huang Gui has been on the battlefield for a long time. Although it is his first time playing, he has also mastered some tricks. He specializes in asking details that are not conducive to Cao Dongdong, which seems to be intended to arouse public outrage.

After asking Lin Fei, Huang Gui started to ask Cao Dongdong again.

The two men's confessions were similar in the first half. They returned to Lin's house for a drink after hunting, but when they talked about the dinner, they had differences.

"You said that Mrs. Lin once seduced you with her flirtatious eyes when she was helping you pour wine?"

"Yes."

Cao Dongdong nodded.

Huang Gui asked: "Is it Mrs. Lin who is shy and you got the wrong idea?"

When he heard this question, Zhang Fei couldn't help but nodded in approval, thinking to himself, it seems that he is well prepared!

Lu Gongzhu saw it in his eyes, but thought in his heart, what is wrong with this question?

Cao Dongdong said angrily: "What are you talking about? I can't tell the difference between flirtatiousness and shyness? I am not you."

Huang Gui said: "How do you say this?"

Cao Dongdong argued rationally: "Although I'm not older than you, I understand women better than you. I have more concubines than your maids. Do you believe it?"

As soon as these words came out, many people in the hospital shook their heads!

But more people remained silent.

Because keeping prostitutes was a custom in the Northern Song Dynasty.

But it would be bad to say it.

Although Cao Ping was hiding alone by the door, he still couldn't resist his son's boldness and covered his face, shy of seeing people.

"I believe it! I believe it!"

Huang Gui nodded repeatedly and said: "So I don't know what a wink is. Can you show it to everyone?"

"sure!"

Cao Dongdong seemed to have a desire to perform, and he winked at Huang Gui.

"Ouch!"

He seemed to have forgotten the injury at the corner of his eye, and groaned in pain for a moment.

This provoked the mighty and unyielding yamen on both sides to try their best to hold back their laughter.

Huang Gui and Zhang Fei burst out laughing.

Huang Gui just laughed. Zhang Fei, did you laugh too?

Cao Dongdong immediately glared at Zhang Fei, "Zhang San, aren't you mine? Why are you still laughing at me?"

Zhang Fei chuckled: "But I am also a human being!"

Lu Gongzhu patted the gavel tree lightly, "Zhang San, you have to abide by the rules you set yourself."

"Feel sorry!"

Zhang Fei quickly bowed his hands and said seriously: "This is Xiaomin's fault, Xiaomin will never do it again."

You can't shout against it, this will definitely benefit him, and he must defend this rule.

Huang Gui said very generously: "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter!"

His smile was a bonus.

But as outsiders, Sima Guang and Wang Anshi laughed when they saw Zhang Fei's intention, and they were also wondering in their hearts what special skills he was hiding.

Huang Gui continued to ask Cao Dongdong: "According to the confession of the maid of the Lin family, after you were drunk, Mrs. Lin originally asked the maid to help you to rest, but you insisted on letting Mrs. Lin help you. Is it true?"

Cao Dongdong nodded and said: "She hinted at me like that. I'm not a person who doesn't know the style, so I took the initiative, but she didn't resist much."

Huang Gui asked immediately: "In other words, Mrs. Lin still resisted."

Cao Dongdong said: "Just a little tweaking."

As he spoke, he twisted his butt.

This caused another burst of laughter outside the door.

Of course, they are all ridicules, without exception!

Tang Jie snorted: "This is really embarrassing!"

Wang Anshi said: "I think telling the truth is not a shameful thing, at least it is much better than those false words."

Tang Jie said angrily: "I just don't understand what the Cao family thinks. It's not that I shouldn't confess truthfully."

Sima Guang said: "Don't make any hasty judgment first."

Tang Jie looked at Sima Guang in surprise.

Mr. Lu was also shaking his head, not even bothering to take pictures. This was endless.

Cao Ping looked worried and thought, this three is not a traitor sent by the other party!

He had already learned from Tao Zi that Cao Dongdong had been in contact with Zhang Fei. Logically speaking, Zhang Fei should tell Cao Dongdong how to answer, but from the current point of view, this was not the case at all.

Only Sima Guang could understand it, because he had experienced this trick before. Zhang Fei's client and witnesses all told the truth without any breakthrough, which made him really angry.

On the other side, Huang Gui became more and more confident as he asked, "Could it be that Mrs. Lin was very resistant, but in front of the Yanei, her resistance turned into a slight twist. After all, Mrs. Lin's strength is far inferior to the Yanei."

Zhang Fei nodded approvingly again, thinking that he would have to recruit this person to our bookstore in the future.

Cao Dongdong said disdainfully: "It's impossible. I don't know that yet."

Huang Gui did not bother and continued to ask: "What happens next?"

Cao Dongdong said: "After that, she helped me into the room, and we fell on the bed...!"

Huang Gui interrupted Cao Dongdong, "Falled on the bed, but according to Mrs. Lin's confession, it was you who threw her on the bed."

Cao Dongdong thought for a while and said, "That's right."

Huang Guidao: "And she resisted fiercely."

"No!"

Cao Dongdong said: "She did not resist fiercely."

Huang Guidao: "Did Mrs. Lin say 'no'?"

"puff!"

Zhang Fei couldn't hold it back and laughed out loud, then quickly lowered his head and shrugged his shoulders.

Cao Dongdong didn't notice it this time. He nodded and said seriously: "That's true."

There was a burst of yelling and cursing at the door.

How shameless!

People say you don’t want it, but you still want it.

If not rape, what is it?

"quiet!"

Lu Gongzhu quickly patted the gavel a few times, his thumbs hurting from the shock.

"And after that?"

"Then Coach Lin broke in and wanted to sue me."

"Why didn't you sue again?"

"Didn't I just say that I was held back by Marquis Wu Yu? But then they threatened me and asked me to promote them. Otherwise, they would sue me."

"Is Lin Fei just agreeing like this?"

"He didn't agree before. Later, Marquis Wu Yu said that I came from a prominent family and if I went to sue the officials, I would probably get angry and implicate him. That's why Coach Lin agreed."

"Yeah?"

Huang Guixiao asked: "Why is this not mentioned in the confession?"

Cao Dongdong said angrily: "How did I know this? Just ask them! I was very scared at the time, but I just wrote what they said."

Huang Gui asked again: "Then the Yamen sent Xu Zhiqian, the daughter of Xu Zunxu, a temple minister, to threaten Coach Lin, forcing Coach Lin to have no choice but to come to complain."

Cao Dongdong said with an innocent look on his face: "I don't. I can't control Mrs. Xu. I'm usually very scared. This is all Zhang San's fault."

Zhang Fei immediately looked at Mr. Lu.

Mr. Lu nodded and said, "Tell me."

I was also wondering in my heart, how could this kid know the rules so well today.

Zhang Fei immediately said: "I asked Madam Xu to go, but it was not a threat. I will explain later."

Next, Huang Gui summoned the Marquis of Yu named Wu to the court.

Let him tell the story of Cao Dongdong signing a confession.

Wu Yuhou said something similar to Cao Dongdong, but his answer was more reasonable.

In fact, there is also a doubt in this confession.

At that time, both the people and the people had taken the stolen goods, so you could either sue the officials or settle the matter.

Asking Cao Dongdong to sign a confession was indeed a motive for blackmail.

However, the existence of Wu Yuhou made this confession very reasonable.

Lin Fei asked to sue the officials, but Wu Yuhou did not dare to sue. Lin Fei just thought about his brotherhood with Wu Yuhou, so he let Cao Dongdong go. This confession was to ensure that Cao Dongdong would not retaliate against them, not For extortion.

This is exactly the mentality of a humble citizen.

Ever since Marquis Wu Yu came to the court, Zhang Fei's expression became solemn and he thought to himself, this guy's answer was accurate. Maybe he was the one who came up with this plan. I have to avoid this person later to avoid any complications.
