Next day
When Xie Fengyue arrived at the gate of the government office in the Lian family carriage, she already saw a large group of onlookers and the students from yesterday.
The government soldiers opened the way, and she led the sleepy Lian Jun into the Yamen.
It was irritating to say that she rushed from the inn to Lian Mansion early in the morning. After asking, she learned that this man had stayed on the flower boat last night and returned to the house at dawn.
Xie Fengyue could only secretly be glad that this fool was not her brother.
Today Ye Yuanwen is wearing a serious official robe, a crimson robe with a black gauze on his head. When I saw him yesterday, I felt that this man was as cold as ice and looked like he would not let strangers in. Today he does not wear a hat, but wears this The black gauze hat actually added a bit of chilling air.
The slaves were holding killing sticks, and at the same time they struck and shouted mighty~
Ye Yuanwen slapped the gavel on the table and began to ask, "Who is here? What are your grievances?"
The man in Tsing Yi, who looked a little gray, immediately knelt down and said: "Hu Wei, a student of Qingshan Academy, sued Lian Jun, the son of General Dinghai, for raping a civilian girl and then killing her. He even killed the student when he went to rescue her. Cut me, these people who are so indifferent to the king's law are actually from the noble family."
According to the Qian'an court order, the sons of aristocratic families may not bow to officials when they see them; the direct descendants of a wealthy family may not bow to them when they see the king; and the heads of aristocratic families, big or small, may not bow to the emperor when they see them.
Hu Wei glared hard at Lian Jun, who looked confused.
Lian Jun didn't wake up at all, but he was glared at by the person who had always wronged him. He suddenly felt bad.
"I didn't get a good rest last night. Bring me two chairs."
Ye Yuanwen looked at him coldly and replied: "There is no such law."
Lian Jun instantly lost his temper: "If you don't give it, I won't give it to you. Why are you looking at me like that?"
Xie Fengyue couldn't stand it anymore and pulled his sleeve hard.
Lian Jun reluctantly showed restraint, then turned around and stared back at Hu Wei proudly.
The alarm sounded.
Ye Yuanwen's expression became serious: "The policeman arrested yesterday has already confessed. If you confess now, I can give it some thought when making the decision."
Seeing Hu Wei frowning, he still insisted that what he said was not false.
In fact, Hu Wei was also a little scared in his heart. "His parents will definitely not tell. Wan Niang's father is a bastard and has already taken out the money he gave him to gamble. Now no one knows where it is. Her mother is there again." He is a mute, so it shouldn't be a big problem for these two people.
The remaining one is the policeman. He gave him most of his wealth, including all the money that the family paid that day. If he tells this, let alone that he cannot be regarded as a policeman, he will even give him all the money. Not a cent is lost”
Ye Yuanwen saw that this man was so stubborn that he didn't bother to ask, and waved his hand to signal to his subordinates.
After a while, several old people were brought in.
He slapped the table hard and then said loudly, "If you tell the truth clearly, your son's life can still be saved. If I have to force this officer to torture him, if you see this man's thin skin and tender flesh, take it from his mouth." It will probably only take two-quarters of an hour to find out the truth." There was silence in the lobby. Ye Yuanwen didn't say a word to urge his order. After taking a piece of paper, he continued to induce: "This is the testimony of the policeman. He has signed it. If you still don't speak, you will be punished for several crimes." .”
The strong soap officials stared at several people at the same time with dark faces.
At this time, an old man seemed to be unable to bear the depressing situation and cried: "Sir, we are wronged, my daughter Wan Niang is actually related to their family.
But ever since Hu Wei was admitted to Qingshan Academy, he has looked down on Wan Niang. He even wrote a letter of divorce personally. We have nothing to do with his family. Even if we can sit down, we can't even sit down! ”
The mute old woman kneeling aside was also sobbing, as if in agreement.
Ye Yuanwen frowned, "I don't want to hear about your family affairs. Tell me how your daughter got into the Jiang family yard and why your daughter died. If you dare to tell any lies, those dead people on the execution ground will be your fate."< br>
The old couple were shaking like chaff, "My daughter later voluntarily followed Lian Xiaolangjun. Wanniang didn't know that the marriage had been called off.
But later, someone from the Lian family invited us to come over and persuade Wan Niang. My old wife and I, who were illiterate, showed Wan Niang the Hu family's divorce letter, and she stayed in the Lian family yard.
But who would have thought that after Hu Wei came back and heard that Wan Niang had been kidnapped by Lian Xiaolangjun, he and his friends went to West Street to ask for her life. Who would have thought that my daughter would lose her life because of this? I burst into tears after saying this. Get up"
Ye Yuanwen looked at Hu's father and Hu's mother again. The two of them had turned pale and muttered to themselves, "My son originally wanted to rescue her, but... But Wan Niang refused to leave because she was too poor and loved being rich. My son was ready." The one who left was the young master of the Jiang family who got very angry and ordered his son to be beaten
That Wan Niang died because she ran up to block the whip. Sir, this really has nothing to do with my son. My son is a scholar, and the entire Hu family has supported such a scholar. Sir, you must avenge my son! ”
After hearing this, Lian Jun stopped and immediately retorted: "You are talking nonsense, can you still beat Wan Niang to death with just those two whips? She is not a delicate and frail young lady. You two old guys are in this court." To bluff people?”
Xie Fengyue stretched out her hand to pull the excited Lian Jun back to his original position before speaking: "It seems that both of your parents don't know everything. Since Mr. Hu refuses to tell, what about the other two? They are also helping him and Am I in trouble for my family?”
The two kneeling men now understood that the situation was over, and they simply did not defend themselves.
Looking at the older man, he said, "This is Luo Wei, this is my younger brother Luo Wei. We are both students of Qingshan Academy, and we are classmates with Hu Wei.
Although the three of us all received letters of recommendation from the Master, we all received letters of recommendation that everyone received just like ordinary Qingshan students. Recently, Hu Wei invited us to visit Lingnan, and we talked about his former career. The fiancée is now having an extramarital affair with Mr. Lian Xiaolang.
The more he talked, the angrier he became, blaming his fiancée for being too poor, fond of being rich, and admiring vanity. But then he changed the subject and mentioned that Lian Xiaolangjun was the only son of General Dinghai and was deeply loved by the general. If he could get a letter of recommendation from the Lian family, Even the husband's recommendation letter can be sent to the county to find a good job, and you can enjoy yourself from now on.
Seeing that Hu Wei was still silent after hearing this, Ye Yuanwen slapped the wooden door hard again. "Now that the matter has come to this, do you think I am asking you to confess without any reason? It's just to see who of you is willing to give up the merit." Forget it, Wan Niang’s body was examined by others last night, and you still refuse to tell the truth?”
Several people in the hall were sweating profusely, especially Hu Wei. His face was pale now without even a trace of blood.
He turned around and glanced at the kneeling Luo Wei and Luo Wei bitterly and said bitterly, "You two agreed at the beginning that those who do great things will not stick to trivial matters. If you want glory and wealth, you have to take this risk. Now you two People still want to clean up?”
