Chapter 84: The grievances are not grievances
In the lobby of the prefect yamen, the hero sat behind the table at the top, Lu Jiancheng was on the left, and Yingning County was sitting behind as the secretary. Gao Wu and his men stood on both sides, standing with their swords, full of murderous intent.
Zhao Dalang, Xiao Jianye and Liu Xiaomei were all brought in.
Zhao Dalang and Liu Xiaomei immediately knelt on the ground, only Xiao Jianye still stood there arrogantly.
"Who is the one who is in the hall?" the hero patted the gavel and asked.
Xiao Jianye looked around and realized that he was asking himself, and said, "Xiao Jianye."
"Can you have official status and fame?"
"No."
Bang!
The hero remakes the arbor again: "Then you go to court and see me, why don't you kneel down?"
Xiao Jianye raised his lips coldly, and he reluctantly bowed his hand, saying, "It's so that the master can find out that I'm not from Shuangzhou, but from the royal family of Liang. Even if I meet the officials of my country, I have no reason to bow."
The hero smiled: "You said you are from the Liang Kingdom royal family, not from Shuangzhou?"
"Sir, you heard it right!" Xiao Jianye's chin was a little higher.
"Okay!" The hero slapped the arson again, "Left and right, take down this traitor who splits my territory in Shuangzhou, and first get the forty boards, and then interrogate it!"
"Abide by the order!"
Gao Wu led his men forward, and the scabbard was swung, hitting Xiao Jianye's knee.
Xiao Jianye fell to the ground with a scream of pain, then his feet tightened and he was dragged out.
"Sir! You can't hit me! Your Highness...hero...hero..."
The place where the board was beaten was outside the lobby. The board was raised high and fell heavily, with a crisp sound, and Xiao Jianye howled like a pig.
"Your Highness, the case has not yet been tried, and it is not yet concluded which one is right or wrong. So I started to use punishment. Is it a bit inappropriate?" Lu Jiancheng tactfully reminded the hero.
"Oh?" the hero asked back: "Does even Uncle Lu think that Liang State does not belong to my Shuangzhou?"
Lu Jiancheng was stunned and shook his head and smiled bitterly: "It's more than just a fight with Xiao Jianye? It's damn! Your Highness has reason and evidence, but the minister is confused."
"It's okay. Liang State has long been rebellious and deliberately split the bloodlines with Shuangzhou. This is well-known. Over time, people have developed a fixed mindset. If they are not surprised, they will regard the wrong ones as right.
It's normal, Uncle Lu doesn't need to worry about it."
"The fixed mindset? These four words are really wonderful, your highness!"
The hero smiled and his eyes turned back to the hall. Zhao Dalang kept looking at Liu Xiaomei in a daze, but Liu Xiaomei never looked up.
After a while, after finishing the forty-four-plate, Xiao Jianye was dragged back like a dead dog and threw it on the ground.
I saw his hair messy, his face full of sweat, tears, a mixture of nose and saliva, and his buttocks were covered in blood and messy.
It is definitely impossible to die, but within two or three months, you can't get out of bed and walk.
"Xiao Jianye, do you know your guilt?" the hero asked in a deep voice.
Xiao Jianye was already confused and lay there motionless, muttering, "You...you dare to hit me, I...I...I will kill..."
"Xiao Jianye!"
Lu Jiancheng shouted loudly, which shocked Xiao Jianye and shivered.
Lu Jiancheng's eyes were blasting fire, his beard and hair were wide open, as if he was extremely indignant. "The Liang State is a vassal of my Shuangzhou. Not to mention that it is just a royal family, even if the King of Liang came in person, he would treat him with courtesy when he saw my Shuangzhou angels!
What kind of thing do you dare to disrespect Your Highness?"
Xiao Jianye seemed to wake up suddenly, raised his head and said respectfully: "Sir, the villain is confused for a moment and said something he shouldn't say. Please forgive me for the sake of the villain's inability to get up."
The hero looked at Lu Jiancheng deeply, "Uncle Lu is worthy of being a general who has been leading troops abroad for many years. His aura just now, my nephew can't learn anything!"
Lu Jiancheng hurriedly bowed and said, "Your Highness is a mischievous praise! On the battlefield, people call out horses and neighing, and if they don't shout at the top of their voices, it will be difficult to hear what the other party says when they face to face.
The other abilities of the empress are a little bit lacking, and his voice is still a little louder, which makes His Highness laugh."
"So that's it, my nephew was taught."
Nodded, the hero asked Xiao Jianye again: "So, can you admit that you are a citizen of Shuangzhou, which applies to my Shuangzhou law?"
Xiao Jianye's eyes rolled around, "I admit it a little."
"Okay, I ask you: Now Zhao Dalang sues you for killing his parents and forcibly robbing his wife Liu. Do you admit your guilt?"
"The villain doesn't recognize it! Zhao Dalang is talking nonsense and slandering people!"
The pain on his butt turned into numbness, and Xiao Jianye became much more powerful when speaking, "Just because he was good at gambling, he lost all the money he gave his mother to get medicine, and wanted to make a fortune, so he borrowed money from the villain.
A total of 100 taels of silver were borrowed, and the mortgage was his wife Liu.
Later, he had no money to pay off his debts, so the villain took Liu away according to the loan note, which was reasonable and legal.
As for his parents, I heard that his mother was seriously ill and he lost all the money, so he would naturally die of illness. His father was angry that he was fond of gambling and beat him several times to teach him a lesson. The villain didn't know how he died in the end."
"You nonsense! When did I enter the gambling house? You obviously beat my father to death on the spot when you led someone to steal my wife! Xiao Jianye, you must die well, I will fight with you!"
Zhao Dalang's eyes were about to split and he shouted that he wanted to pounce on him, but was stopped by the tiger guard.
"Silent!" The hero patted the agglomeration, "Zhao Dalang, there is no noise in the court!
The right and wrong are discussed, and I will understand it. Please be careful and do not be impatient. If you commit it again, you will definitely punish you and will not forgive me!"
Zhao Dalang gritted his teeth and knelt again.
"Xiao Jianye, is there any evidence for what you said?" the hero asked again.
"Yes!" Xiao Jianye said, "The loan note that Zhao Dalang had sealed was on the villain. Moreover, when he borrowed money, many people in the gambling house saw it, and the adults came over and asked him to know."
Gao Wu walked over, took out a piece of paper from his arms, and presented it to the case.
The hero picked it up and saw that it was a copy of Zhang's loan note. It clearly stated that Zhao Dalang borrowed a total of 100 taels of silver. The two parties agreed to return it within three days, otherwise it would be paid with Zhao Dalang's wife Liu Xiaomei.
Below are Xiao Jianye’s signature and Zhao Dalang’s handprints.
His face turned gloomy and he signaled that General Gao Wu gave the loan note to Zhao Dalang to show it.
"Zhao Dalang, is the handprint on it yours?"
Zhao Dalang seemed to have seen a ghost and screamed: "No! I have never borrowed money from Xiao Jianye! This is not... I don't... Sir, this is fake. Cao Min loves my wife deeply. Even if he dies, he will not be able to pay her debt!"
The hero noticed that Liu Xiaomei's body shook for a moment and asked, "Liu Xiaomei, you are the person involved. Tell me, which one of them is the truth?"
Liu Xiaomei bit her lips, her body trembled violently, and her tears were like beads with broken threads, and she couldn't even say a word.
"Don't be afraid, I am an angel who is the imperial envoy, representing His Majesty the Baji Palace. In this Shuangzhou territory, no one dares to hurt you without my permission.
Tell me, don't worry, what is the truth?" the hero said warmly again.
Liu Xiaomei's lips bite so white that blood soon flowed out.
She seemed to want to see Zhao Dalang, but she turned her head halfway, stopped, leaned down, touched the ground with her head, and choked, "Yes... Xiao Jianye was telling the truth..."
As soon as these words were spoken, Zhao Dalang seemed to have lost his soul in an instant, his expression was full of confusion and disbelief. On the other hand, Xiao Jianye's mouth was raised and the cold light flashed in his eyes.
Lu Jiancheng had no expression on his face, Ying Ning shook his head and sighed.
The hero was silent, his face turned pale, and it was extremely difficult to see.
