What a cheating husband

With the presence of the prince in person, the case will naturally be retried.

Liu Weizhi side filed the case, and handed over the testimonies and charges to the prince for review.

Hezhi County is one of the most fearless people to attack, and the case is firmly established. Even if Liu Zhizhou is invited to sit in the town and supervised by the prince, he will not dare to cover the sky with his hands.

After reading it, Xia Jingyu patted Liu Wei's hand and said with a playful smile, "There is no doubt that the evidence in this case is solid, how do you treat it?"

Liu Weizhi withdrew his palm, stood up straight, frowned and said coldly, "Can criminals be punished?"

"The two of us refuse to accept it!" Liang and Liao replied kneeling with their chests outstretched.

Without waiting for Hezhi County's angry reprimand, Liang Zijun cupped his hands and argued, "The law of Daxia clearly stipulates that the trial should follow oral confession, five hearings, and torture. Only after this can it go to trial. And don't doubt who the plaintiff is in this case, and how to get conclusive evidence As for Hezhi County interrogating suspects in private and extorting confessions from witnesses by torture, how can the confessions obtained through torture become evidence in court? Why do the people have no way to witness the interrogation, but only hear the testimonies displayed before the case? I am afraid that there is a deliberate attempt to close the case , deliberately distorting the facts, confusing the public, deliberately causing unjust, false and wrongly decided cases, and intentionally wronging us innocent people!"

"Presumptuous!" He Zhixian yelled sharply, shaking his fingers, and clarified to the prince in fear, "Don't listen to his nonsense, the prince, why should the lower officials make things out of nothing? There was no private torture, and the matter was brought to trial overnight because of an emergency. The master and the county lieutenant Being present, I can't help him to deny it here, this son is the best at sophistry..."

"Is it nonsense? I'll find out after the witnesses are interrogated." Xia Jingyu waved his hand, stopped He Zhixian's long speech, and looked at the comfortable and fearless Liang Zijun with a little appreciation.

This son is quick in thinking, fearless in times of danger, and worthy of great responsibility.

Liu Weizhi also nodded slightly to him, as long as it is indeed an unjust case, there is no room for corrupt officials to make false statements.

More than [-] accomplices and witnesses were pressed into the hall, each of them was torn apart, with traces of torture all over their bodies.

When Liu Weizhi opened his mouth, the trembling crowd immediately burst into tears when they saw that the presiding judge was the current prince.

No matter how any magistrate ordered them not to slander the court, more than [-] escorts still overturned their confessions, crying and complaining that they could not stand the criminal law, so they were forced to sign the testimony.

Liao Fanzhi grieved at the right time, "These are the hired workers that I, Liao Ji, have used for many years. If they are smuggled, how can I, the owner, not know?... I implore the lord to be aware that it was not just me, Liang Zijun, and Li Shoucai when we started the business together. The three of them, because the customs clearance document was quite cumbersome, begged He Biting to coordinate with it, and promised to share some of the profits with him afterwards. But why after the incident, only we were punished for one crime, but the nephew of the county magistrate Testify before the case?"

"Oh? There is such a secret? How do you know the county..." Xia Jingyu drew her tone, and looked at the county magistrate who was sweating slightly as if watching a play.

"My lord doesn't know that it was my ineffective nephew who exposed the case of entrainment. He made his own decision, and he has been confinement in my mansion in private for his convenience. He will be sent back to his hometown to guard the mausoleum after the case is over. Please also ask your lord Seeing that he was young and ignorant, and took the initiative to report, he will be punished lightly, and the lower officials are also responsible for teaching inappropriately, so I implore the prince to come down!" He Zhixian immediately fell to his knees, begging for blame.

Seeing the prince's unhappy expression, He Zhixian's heart sank.He Biting has too many clues about him, even if there is no conclusive evidence in his hands, if the prince supervises the trial now, if he can't resist all the tricks, he will have to drag him to die together.If you can protect it, you still have to protect it. If it is really irreparable, you can only abandon the car to protect the handsome.

"Fart! He exposed? I think he was the one who got in the way, intending to swallow up our family property before deliberately planting it!" Liao Fanzhi got up and wanted to rush forward to fight Hezhi County desperately, but was immediately suppressed by the quick-sighted yamen servant, and pressed him to the ground.

"How do you say that?" Liu Weizhi shouted hastily.

Before Liu Weizhi interrogated the reason, there were people outside the yamen beating drums to cry out their grievances.When he comes to the court, no magistrate can get rid of the crime of corruption and perverting the law no matter how cleverly he speaks.

The person who beat the drum and complained of grievances was a foreigner holding 30 taels of gold notes. When he went to the court, he angrily reprimanded Hezhi County for being greedy for the people's money, for being unwilling to exchange the silver notes for a long time, and imprisoning him in the inn and not going out.If he hadn't learned of the prince's visit today, he wouldn't know how long he would be detained by this corrupt official.

Liao Fanzhi sued He Biting just a moment ago for embezzling people's property, but now Hezhi County is suing for embezzling people's money.The uncle and nephew colluded internally and externally, and it was hard for people not to suspect their impure motives.

Hezhi County really couldn't argue with anyone, so he had to shirk because Liao Ji's bank had a shortage of silver treasury, and it was not his fault that the amount was not right.Instead, Liao Ji was interrogated for deceit and depletion of the bank's inventory. Otherwise, why is there no stub of the 30 taels of gold in the account book?

Liao Fanzhi sneered and demanded that the accountant of Liao Ji Bank be interrogated.Waiting for someone to find him, check Liao Ji's account books of more than a dozen boxes over the years on the spot.

The head accountant only scanned the year and month, then hurriedly checked the next book.Banzhuxiang Kungfu was surprised, "Why didn't you see the accounts in early August of 17? These 30 taels of gold notes are recorded by the villain himself. How can you not remember such a large amount of money?"

If He Zhixian still can't guess what the intention of this move is at this time, he will be the magistrate for many years in vain, and shouted angrily, "Bold! How dare you frame the court official? Come... the prince is clearly aware of the details, but you must decide for the subordinate..."

Xia Jingyu just waved his hand, and the guards at the door with big arms and round waists stepped forward to arrest the corrupt official, twisting him to cover his mouth and nose, to stop him from making any noise.

"Is there any witness?" Liu Weizhi asked seriously.

"Yes, the owner of the storeroom was also checked and accepted at the time." The owner of the accountant was unknown, so he had to answer the questions of Master Zhizhou truthfully.

After the interrogation of the warehouse owner, Xia Jingyu took the signed statement and said with a smile, "You corrupt official, do you have anything to say? This king has never wronged good people. If you have any excuses, just tell me now."

"The lower official was wronged... Even the lower official would not be able to do stupid things like greed and confiscation of private property even if he had ten guts. Moreover, when the Liao Ji was sealed, many government servants were present. They had planned for a long time to get rid of the crime." The low-level tricks, the prince is too farsighted to listen to the nonsense of the villain... The low officials have always been conscientious in managing the affairs of the county, not seeking merit, but seeking no fault..." He Zhixian cried with tears.

Xia Jingyu listened to dramas and poured nonsense into her ears, and said with sympathy, "Yes, most of the village can be saved in a disaster year. There is no credit but hard work. You should get up and answer..."

Liu Weizhi's face became darker the more he heard it, and the whole wall fell with the wind. He coughed secretly and reminded, "Right and wrong are clear, merits and demerits cannot be offset, the prince should try the case first."

"Oh~ look at how confused I am, I will listen to your complaints later, the business is more important!" Xia Jingyu patted his forehead, seeming to be false.

Liu Weizhi gritted his teeth secretly, which official didn't abide by his duty to govern the affairs within his jurisdiction?How do you know that the county should be rewarded for its merits?Then don't local officials like them have to reward them for their merits? "Come here, go and find He Biting to ask questions"

Liang Zijun lowered his eyes and lowered his brows, trying to figure out what the lord's intention was. After thinking about it for a long time, he didn't dare to make a conclusion, so he had to make the water even more muddy. Liang, together with the thieves, framed Liang’s Yurou Township, and Liang’s two brothers are still in prison awaiting trial.”

Xia Jingyu narrowed her eyes slightly, she was like a shit stick, one incident after another, another inside story was revealed before the case could be scrutinized, if it wasn't for trying to cover up something, why would it be so intertwined? Free time for human interrogation?

If the four things are all true crimes, who would be concerned that one of them may have hidden secrets?This Liang Zijun had grasped people's hearts, deliberately confused them, and what he wanted to cover up could not be the crime he committed.

Xia Jingyu guessed secretly, and Liang Zijun also racked his brains to figure out the next strategy, but Liu Weizhi dismantled the cases one by one in a serious manner, and brought them to trial in detail.

He Biting was still at a loss when he was forced to go to court. He was taking a nap at home, and when the noon passed, he went to the prison to make trouble. How could he break into a group of yamen servants in a short time, and he would go to court without saying anything ?Even his uncle was pressed on the defendant's stone, how could he dare to rely on his power?Immediately cringed and knelt down in the hall, telling the truth like a three-year-old milk baby.

Fortunately, he still knows how to measure, he didn't shake his uncle out, and took all the blame on himself according to the agreement, hoping that his uncle would turn around and rescue him after he got away with it.

It wasn't until the trial of the smuggling case that He Biting cried out that he was wronged, and scolded the two of them for harboring evil intentions in court, and dragged him into the gang early in the morning as a scapegoat.

Liang Zijun snorted coldly, why bother to argue with only a three-inch tongue, there is no need to talk about suffering, how can he beat Liang Zijun with his little intelligence?After three detours and two detours, he was taken into the pit, and his words were not only confused, but his eyes were also evasive.

Liu Weizhi Guanzhi yelled "seeing is believing, there is no need to confront again"

When the evidence is presented to the court, why bother to go forward and reveal it to the public in a hurry.Breaking open the smelly shell, pointing to the hidden pearl inside, he proudly yelled, "How can you deny it this time? Hahaha..."

"With so many boxes, could it be that there are stolen goods?" Liang Zijun asked pretending not to know.

"Hmph~ Of course there is more than one box, but this box alone is enough to convict you two!" He Zhixian rebuked at the right time.

"Why didn't I know this? But your uncle and nephew can tell which box is the stolen goods at a glance?" Liao Fanzhi asked pretendingly puzzled.

"I think it's better to take them all apart and look at them. They are all suspects. No one's words are enough to prove it." Liang Zijun waved his sleeves and said with a scholarly look.

Xia Jingyu tilted her head and leaned over, muttering, "I bet this is the only box with stolen goods."

Liu Weizhi was noncommittal, but how did he know that the county reported only twelve boxes, so how dare he make false reports on such a big case?He turned his head slightly and hummed without thinking, "I don't believe it!"

"Hey hey...then let's make this bet! How about drinking with me all night if you lose?" Xia Jingyu set the bet with great confidence.

"How do you know you will definitely win?" Liu Weizhi curled his lips, dismissing his request.

"How about just relying on Liang Zijun?" Xia Jingyu raised his eyebrows, pointing the wood a little bit.

"..." Liu Weizhi is not an idiot either, he knows Guan Qiao just by mentioning a few points.If he is not fully sure, why Liang Zijun's face is calm, not impatient?Don't even bother to use the most favorable excuse to get rid of the crime, but blatantly confront Hezhi County?Presumably, he must have the ability to prove his innocence to be so convincing.

Sure enough, after looking through more than a dozen boxes, Uncle He Biting and his nephew were all hairy, shouting that it was impossible...Damn it...

It wasn't until he searched all the goods that He Zhixian sat down on the ground, muttering to himself, "Impossible...I checked it myself..."

Liang Zijun cast a sideways glance at his daughter-in-law with admiration, bowed his head and avoided them, and then straightened his clothes and waited for the prince to make a decision.

"The little county magistrate actually corrupted the law, framed Zhongliang, and tried to design unjust, false and wrong cases to deceive the Holy One. What kind of official is such a person who deceives the emperor and ignores the law? Now the king will take off the official hat on his behalf, and will be imprisoned in the next year. The prison is under trial, and I respectfully invite the Holy Majesty to rule!" Xia Jingyu slapped the gavel and pronounced the verdict.

Corrupt officials are punished differently than ordinary people. In addition to being interrogated by the Ministry of Punishment, they must be branded with the seal of the Holy Emperor to be convicted.

He Zhixian was stripped of his official uniform, which was very pleasing to the hearts of the people, and the people in the city rushed to tell each other, calling the prince a thousand years ago!

In the first half of the new year's Eve, the county government interrogated wave after wave of witnesses, and in the afternoon, the army ransacked and searched He Biting's uncle and nephew's private property.

All the stolen goods from taking bribes were confiscated, and some past events in the county were also brought to light, such as smuggling of official salt, succession of the concubine, Liu Yuanwai's fifth aunt who died innocently, and so on. .

After Liang Zijun finally moved out that Hezhi County's scientific examination questions were leaked to take the opportunity to make money, the people in the county, from peddlers to scholars and students, were all indignant, and they scolded such stupid officials for insulting sages. place.

One by one, if Liang Zijun hadn't spread it out to the people of the county in the open, even the big merchants who had a close relationship with Hezhi County would only know one thing and not the other.

The caring people have already retreated silently, went home to manage relationships, and destroyed all correspondence.More people were terrified that Mr. Liang's revenge had escalated after being angry!Even Hezhi County was dragged down, as far as their previous grievances are concerned, there is really no need for the third master to teach them a lesson...

The means are also like each person's ability. Once they exceed the reach of ordinary people, the envy and hatred will be replaced by admiration and fear. It is Liang Zijun's over-the-top scheming that arouses fear in the hearts of all the sons and daughters.

Xia Jingyu snorted secretly, what a ruthless and scheming person.Shaking his hands away from the whispering subordinates, Xia Jingyu first brought the corrupt officials to justice, and the defendants were released in court, and a formal announcement will be made later in the year to prove their innocence.

Liang Zijun's heart sank, he confronted the lord several times in secret, but they were all as helpless as hitting cotton. If he hadn't caught a glimpse of the clue, why did he wait until later to issue the official document?

Liang Zijun's eyes sank slightly, he and Liao Fanzhi looked at each other, and they both secretly said, "This matter cannot be delayed!"

"Your Majesty! Why is it that the corrupt officials have been sacked, and it takes years for innocent people like us to recover our reputation?" Liang Zijun asked, clasping his hands.

"It's getting late, and it's already past the time for the yamen to rest. There are still many doubts in this case to be tried. Since the clearer is cleared, why worry about the difference between the year before and the year after?" Xia Jingyu narrowed her eyes slightly. , waved his hand in a little sleepiness, walked down the high hall, and when he passed Liang Zijun's side, he said lightly, "How do you want this king to send you?"

Liang Zijun's complexion turned pale, and he knelt down with a plop, and couldn't restrain himself from shaking his head slightly. Only the two of them heard the words, so when Liang Zijun knelt down, everyone thought they were going to send off the prince, and there was a black cloud immediately. With her hair in a bun, she shouted "Respectfully send off the prince~" with her head on the ground

Xia Jingyu grinned past a group of people, raised Chen Qing's big head and shouted, "I'm trapped to death, even if I work hard for your family, you should be responsible for the place where I stay! And... to this king Prepare the New Year's Eve dinner, I want to have a drink with Wei Zhi."
