Reborn on the day of marriage! After the marriage exchange, the elder sister went crazy

Hearing this voice, Wangju County was stunned for a moment.

He hurriedly lifted his robe and walked out of the court.

In the open space outside the court stood a middle-aged man with a long and beautiful beard.

The man was accompanied by a grand ceremony, with several officials, as well as officials and soldiers from the Inspection Office, surrounding him.

Three shifts of yamen runners followed closely behind.

The ceremonial procession outside the yamen was grand, quiet and solemn.

The magistrate of Wangju County was horrified and said, "This humble official greets the Grand Secretary."

This Grand Secretary of Wuying Palace was Yin Zhihai, the prefect of Jingzhao Prefecture.

Jingzhao Prefecture had both a prefect and a governor.

The prefect was King Zhao, and the governor was Yin Zhihai.

Behind Yin Zhihai followed He Chang, the academician of Jingzhao Prefecture, the instructor of Jingzhao Prefecture School, and the magistrate of Xu County.

"No need for formalities in Wangju County." Yin Zhihai had a thin figure, long flowing beard, and a very handsome appearance.

He is a famous handsome man.

"I heard that Wangju County will judge the first person in Nanli County today, so we came here to listen."

After Yin Zhihai finished speaking, he lifted his robe with one hand and put the other hand behind his back.

He walked towards the court in an elegant manner.

The prefect attended the trial?

A drop of sweat broke out on Wangju County's forehead.

It's just a small case, why would it alarm the prefect?

Wang Ju County raised his head and glanced at County Magistrate Xu.

Just at this moment, County Magistrate Xu was also looking at him.

When their eyes met, County Magistrate Xu bowed to him and smiled, "Your humble servant is polite."

Wangju County gritted his teeth.

Mr. Zhang was attending the court session. When he saw the prefect leading a group of people in, he was so startled that he quickly stood up.

Yin Zhihai sat directly in Mr. Zhang's seat.

Wang Juxian was so scared that he broke into a sweat. "Please take a seat, Prefect."

Yin Zhihai smiled kindly, "You are the chief judge today, and we are all just spectators. Just judge your own cases."

How dare I sit in Wangju County?

Move a chair and sit in front of the long desk in the court.

As a result, his momentum was completely gone.

In the court, Lu Bozhou was still lying on the ground.

The bailiffs held up boards, not knowing whether they should beat him or not.

Wang Juxian glanced at Yin Zhihai with a guilty conscience and rebuked: "Lu Bozhou, are you going to confess or not?"

"The students are innocent. I don't know where to start." Lu Bozhou said while lying on the ground.

Normally, Wangju County should have thrown tokens and hit people at this time.

But now that the prefect is here, how dare Wangju County draw the token?

He coughed and said, "If you are willing to confess, I can give you a lighter sentence."

After reading Lu Bozhou's article, He Xuezheng, who personally nominated Lu Bozhou as the first in the case, frowned and asked, "Why didn't Wangju County allow him to defend himself?"

If Lu Bozhou, the chief judge of the case, abused the maid, what would be the reputation of him as the master appointed by him?

How could Academician He Chang not be nervous?

Wangju County refuted He Xuezheng: "The case is clear and straightforward. He abused the maid and deserved the punishment. And he also tried to accuse Zhang Juren of our county in vain."

"Since the prefect and the academician are here today, give him some respect."

County Wangju waved his hand, and the bailiffs came up and helped Lu Bozhou put the robe back on.

When Lu Bozhou stood up, Yin Zhihai leaned forward suddenly.

Hearing Wangju County criticizing He Xuezheng again, Yin Zhihai pushed the tea bowl used by Zhang Juren on the coffee table aside.

The tea bowls made a crisp clinking sound. "In our dynasty, there are more than a dozen provincial governments and more than a hundred prefectures and counties. The Tongsheng examination is held twice every three years, and in three years, only more than a hundred people get first place. This year, there are less than fifteen people in the country who have won the second place, and Lu Bozhou is one of them."

"The court has issued an order! Even if the first person in the case is guilty, the academician should issue a notice to strip him of his honors before you can beat him."

"After studying hard for more than ten years, I finally got the first place in the case. Did I do that just to be stripped of my clothes and beaten in court?"

"Where is the face of scholars? Where is the face of the education commissioner? Where is the face of Jingzhao Prefecture? Where is the face of the imperial examination?"

At this point, Yin Zhihai smiled contemptuously: "I forgot that Wangju County has never been to the examination hall, so you don't know what this robe represents."

When a scholar slaps someone in the face, it makes a loud slapping sound.

Wang Juxian was so angry that his face turned red, but he didn't dare to say a word.

Even when Yin Zhihai was speaking, he had to stand up and cross his arms.

An expression of respect and acceptance of instruction.

Yin Zhihai asked again: "Who is Mr. Zhang?"

Facing the Grand Secretary in person, Mr. Zhang did not dare to be negligent.

Step forward: "I am a student."

"Did you give the Ningxin in the case to Lu Bozhou?" Yin Zhihai asked.

"It was given to me by my students." Mr. Zhang lowered his head.

"Where is the bond?" Yin Zhihai, who had solved countless cases, asked the most direct question.

Since you have given the person to Lu Bozhou, you must also give him a body contract.

What about the indenture?

When the indenture was mentioned, cold sweat broke out on Mr. Zhang's forehead.

"This...student...this was given by the housekeeper of my family. I was not aware of it."

There is a deal in this case! Yin Zhihai smiled.

"Please continue asking questions in Wangju County. I have finished my questions."

When Yin Zhihai asked about the indenture, Wang Juxian was frightened.

Cold sweat dripped down his forehead.

The indenture is the most important.

If Lu Bozhou does not have Ningxin's body contract, then he is not Ningxin's master.

Ningxin's life or death has nothing to do with Lu Bozhou.

"Wangju County, start the trial." Seeing that Wangju County didn't speak, Yin Zhihai urged him.

Then he cast his gaze on Lu Bozhou's face, looked at him for a few seconds, and then lowered his eyelids.

Wang Juxian coughed and said, "Plaintiff, please state your case again..."

"Master, my daughter was killed by him. Please help me!" Ningxin's parents knelt in the hall, crying.

After the plaintiff stated his case, the defendant spoke.

Lu Bozhou bowed and said, "I have a witness who can prove that I have never abused Ning Xin."

Not a moment.

Witness Niu Da comes on stage.

Niu Da entered the courtroom and knelt down with a plop: "Greetings, Master."

Yin Zhihai glanced at Wangju County and said, "Wangju County, let's ask questions."

Wang Juxian was sweating profusely and kept wiping his sweat: "Witness Niu Da, tell us what you know."

Niu Daba told the whole story of how he chased Ningxin all the way and saw with his own eyes that Ningxin was taken away by Zhang Juren's steward at the south gate of the capital.

"I didn't dare to make a sound, and followed Mr. Zhang's carriage all the way back to Wangju County. ... Later I heard that Ningxin was imprisoned in Mr. Zhang's water dungeon!"

thump!

Mr. Zhang's body swayed and he fell to his knees.

After a moment, he realized: "This is a false accusation! I have never imprisoned Ning Xin."

Yin Zhihai didn't bother to pay attention to him and shouted coldly, "Where is the inspection department?"

The officer from the Inspection Department brought by Yin Zhihai stepped forward and said, "I am your humble servant."

"Choose ten personal soldiers to search Mr. Zhang's backyard. If anyone tries to stop us, please show us my token! If anyone dares to stop us despite my token, we will kill them without mercy!"

Yin Zhihai threw out his token.

The officer of the Inspection Department held up the token high and said, "I obey your orders."

"I am here to serve as Grand Secretary of Wuying Palace, Co-director of Imperial Edicts, and Acting Governor of Jingzhao Prefecture to handle the case at Mr. Zhang's house!"

"Here is the token! Do not stop it!"

The officials from the Inspection Office shouted all the way as they walked out of the yamen.

Yin Zhihai turned his head and glanced at Wang Juxian, who was sweating profusely, with a cold expression.
