MTL - Rebirth Married The Control Group Fulang-Chapter 120

On the seventh day, the county government opened a joint trial again.

People from both parties arrived early, and the carriage met at the gate of the county government office.

"Morning, Boss Zhang."

"Boss Qin is also early."

Qin Hongde sneered coldly when he saw the calm and composed person, and he had not waited for Zhang Fangyuan to come to beg for mercy after waiting for seven days.

The original intention was to let the Zhang family take the initiative to calm down and curb the edge of the martial arts school, but it was because they were stubborn and refused to give in. However, the reputation of the Zhang family was also damaged after losing the lawsuit, and the result was the same result.

Thinking of this, his complexion improved, and the father and son entered the yamen together with their hands behind their backs.

Xu He narrowed his eyes slightly. The chances of winning this battle are not high, but he must not show timidity before the battle. No matter how sure the victory is on the surface, his heart is like duckweed. However, his husband's generous hands hold him When I touched the back of my hand, the duckweed took root again.

"Let's go."

Xu He nodded.

Today, a lot of people came from outside the review office to watch the excitement, because the acceptance is not open to the public, and the people are not allowed to go in to watch, and can only listen to the result of the acceptance by the county magistrate.

In fact, Zhang Fangyuan submitted an application for public acceptance, but in the end it was reasonable to be rejected by the county magistrate on the grounds that the case was bad and could not attract widespread attention.

According to the example, the gavel sounded, and all the yamen servants beat the boards and shouted mighty. The county magistrate said: "Today, Qin Hongde and Qin Shang sued Zhang Fangyuan and his husband for malicious business competition and intentional assault. The case review, Zhang Fangyuan, seven days The time limit has expired, do you have any evidence to present?"

"Reporting to my lord, the plaintiff, Qin Shang, has no law and is bullying others with the intention of belittling the husband of the grassroots. It is not easy to obtain evidence in this case."

"There are many difficult things in the world, but how can we use a difficult excuse to get rid of crimes? Anyone who beats the drum and complains of grievances will not say a word is difficult." The county magistrate said: "Since the defendant has no evidence, don't slander come."

Zhang Fangyuan said: "My lord, the plaintiff sued Cao Min Fulang for seduction, and then beat him on this ground. All the witnesses and material evidence that can be submitted are his own people, and there is no third party as a witness."

"The Qin family has been running rampant for many years. It's not just a day or two to bully people. The place where the incident happened is a vegetable market, which is a busy place. There are obviously many witnesses, but the grassroots searched for witnesses, but none of them dared to come forward to testify. It is enough to show that the plaintiff is private How outrageous."

Qin Hongde scolded: "There is no evidence to make up nonsense and slander, the lawsuit is not won by spouting people!"

"My lord, please make a quick decision. The defendant has no evidence to intersect, and he slandered others with his words. It is really sinister."

"Qin Zhong has a history of molesting frivolous people from a good family in the street. A month ago, he molested a woman from a good family in Ting Le Lane. The woman refused violently. Her husband defended her, but Qin Shang beat the man to serious injury with his own strength! "

Qin Shang's complexion changed, and Qin Hongde also frowned: "Nonsense! If there is evidence, there is evidence. If you continue to fabricate slander with such pretentious words, I will ask the county magistrate to sentence you to a felony!"

"My lord, the grassroots are not empty words. The witnesses are waiting outside the hall. Please summon them for trial!"

The county magistrate under the four characters hanging high in the mirror glanced at Qin Hongde in the hall, was silent, and said slowly: "This witness has nothing to do with this case, why do we need to summon it, does the defendant have other witnesses to testify?"

The Qin family father and son breathed a sigh of relief.

Xu He's eyebrows twitched when he heard the sound: "My lord, the witness is strong evidence of Qin Shang's previous convictions, since there is evidence, why not pass it on!"

There is evidence but it is not accepted. Isn’t it all the result of having a certificate or not? Xu He gritted his teeth. here.

"Bold and unreasonable, you are questioning this official!"

The county magistrate let out a majestic roar, and needles could be heard falling silently in the hall. Zhang Fangyuan breathed a sigh of relief. The Qin family was justified everywhere. If he followed his violent temper in the past, he really wanted to go up and tear down the county magistrate and beat him up. pause.

There was a muffled sound from the gavel, the county magistrate didn't want to procrastinate any more, he just wanted to hastily conclude the case, he thought that the two families should have settled the matter clearly in the past seven days, and withdraw the case without a retrial. I know that I still attended the hall as promised.

The Zhang family has found evidence of Qin's previous convictions. Once the trial is over, many incidents will inevitably be involved. It is better to close the case quickly: "Since there is no other evidence, this case will..."

Before he finished speaking, the master suddenly bowed his waist and whispered a few words beside the county magistrate, the county magistrate's expression changed slightly.

"Please come in."

The people in the hall didn't know why, but after a while, they saw an elderly man enter the hall, Qin Hongde and Qin Shang didn't know him, they couldn't help but looked at each other.

"How did he get here?"

Xu He asked Zhang Fangyuan next to him in a low voice. Zhang Fangyuan rejected the Zeng family when the Zeng family came over that day. The two discussed and did not plan to find the Zeng family. .

Zhang Fangyuan shook his head slightly. He also didn't know what the Zeng family's visit meant.

"How did Master Tongzhi come? Please take your seat quickly."

The county magistrate put on a smile on his face, and bent slightly to invite the visitor to sit down. The first-rank official overwhelms people, the county magistrate is the seventh-rank, and the state official is the sixth-rank.

Although he was unhappy with his fellow confidant who joined suddenly, he still had to put on a respectful attitude, otherwise he would be referred to a book, and this year's performance appraisal would be in vain.

"Master Zhao, there is no need to be too polite. There is a case today, and I just came to take a look at it according to the rules." Zeng Tongzhi sat down safely: "Where does the trial of the case go, Master Zhao will continue."

It's not easy to throw down an order to the county magistrate who is in a hurry to decide the case. The jury has only come, so how can it be said that the case is about to be closed.

The county magistrate bite the bullet: "Defendant Zhang Fangyuan, you just say you have brought witnesses, and this court will pass the witnesses to court!"

Zhang Fangyuan and Xu He looked at each other, but there was a smile in each other's eyes without expression.

"Witnesses!"

A few days ago, Zhang Fangyuan couldn't find any witnesses on the day of the incident, so he had to reorganize his thinking. When he turned his head and thought about it, he thought of the young woman who was bullied by Qin Shang before, and asked about the residence and went there in person.

The young couple's family was already poor. Not only did the husband's serious injury cost a lot of money for treatment, but the man was bedridden and unable to work in the fields, and the family had no income. The already poor life was even more miserable.

After so many days, the man was still lying on the bed, and the woman was so haggard with tears all day long, and she hated Qin Shang even more in her heart. Zhang Fangyuan and Xu He went to the door. The couple remembered the Zhang family's love and resented Qin. Only then did he agree to come to sue and testify.

"Shen Xiaolian, a woman, has met your lord."

"Mrs. Chen, it was told that Shang Qin had treated you lightly, but your husband was injured when he tried to defend him. Is there such a thing?"

"My lord, it is true."

The woman told everything that happened on the day of the incident in detail, and she burst into tears when she talked about the emotional part.

Qin Hongde and Qin Shang had dark faces, and they seemed to be closing the case, but they found an accomplice on the way, and they didn't know if the accomplice was from the Zhang family. If so, the case might fall into their own hands. The man's heart was full of ups and downs, and he lost his previous arrogance, and he didn't even growl to refute what the woman said.

The county magistrate has been thinking about the meaning of his immediate superior, and he didn't listen carefully to the woman's cries. He squinted his eyes to look at the fellow magistrate's face, and asked tentatively: "Since this is unfair, why didn't you go to the county government to sue when the incident happened? Didn't come to court until today?"

"The Qin family is very powerful, and they threatened with their words and deeds that day. The woman and her husband are no more than grass-roots people, how dare they report to the officials." The woman cried and wiped her tears: "That day, the husband was covered in blood, and the women had no masters. They were worried about the safety of their husbands. If you don’t have the extra thought and energy to report to the officials, I hope your lord will check it out!”

"What evidence do you have?"

The woman hastily handed in the medical form and the medicine, and said: "The husband of the civilian woman can be a witness, and the injury has not healed yet, and he is still in bed at home."

"My lord, if what this woman said is true, and she didn't sue for a while, but the defendant from the Zhang family stepped forward, it's hard not to let people guess that Mrs. Shen was bribed by the Zhang family!"

The county magistrate didn't say a word, and glanced at Tong Zhi's eyes. Seeing that the wind direction had changed, Tong Zhi didn't look unhappy. Instead, he was drinking tea leisurely. He breathed a sigh of relief. It's a cutscene, so it's easy and unrestrained.

He thought that this fellow confidant had only come to Siyang not long ago, and he must have inquired about the status of the Qin family in Siyang.

Afterwards, let the Qin family go and take care of it carefully.

The county magistrate felt much more at ease.

"It is recorded here that Mrs. Shen benefited from the defendant on the day of the incident, gave you money, and sent servants to take your husband to the hospital. Is Mrs. Shen really involved?"

"Reporting to my lord, Boss Zhang is kind-hearted, and he did help him."

There was a sound of the gavel: "Bold and cunning woman, you and the Zhang family are private, and you dare to testify in court today. Do you know what punishment will be imposed for perjury!"

Zhang Fangyuan and Xu He were also shocked, how could they become perjured witnesses.

Together with knowing how to openly take sides, Zhang Fangyuan couldn't help but glanced at his grandfather.

The eyes of the two met, Zeng Tongzhi put down the teacup, smiled slightly, calm and relaxed. Zhang Fangyuan saw his expression as if he didn't hear anything outside the window, and he suddenly figured it out.

"Your Excellency, you are wronged! Housewives absolutely dare not!"

"You benefited from the Zhang family first, and you never sued the officials. You just said that Qin Shang was molesting with one-sided words? There is no evidence, so who knows if Qin Shang did it? Just relying on the medicine list as evidence, Zhang Fang It is true that Yuan gave you money!"

"This official sees you as a beneficiary of perjury, and the Zhang family enlisted you to make a false accusation!" The county magistrate plausibly said, "The Qin family is a big family in the city. How could they fall in love with a married woman like you? Unnecessary things!"

"My lord has clearly found out that the grassroots have only helped this woman when she was in distress. If it is beneficial to this woman, he should have been treated by the best doctor, and her husband will not be bedridden!"

"Stop making excuses!"

Zhang Fangyuan saw that he was just going through the motions with witnesses, but now that he had witnesses, it was his fault, and he felt cold in his heart.

Zeng Tong glanced at Zhang Fangyuan indistinctly, even at this juncture, there was no sign of begging for mercy, he swept his sleeves lightly, and reprimanded Zhang Fangyuan in his heart for not knowing how to bend and stretch, and blindly acting on his own will, even today He turned things around, and he will not be a useful talent in the future.

Unruly and uncontrollable, even if his youngest son is valuable, it is not a good choice to recruit.

That's all, instead of letting Zhang Fangyuan get angry with him repeatedly, it's better to meet a few promising scholars from poor families, and they will be as respectful as Zhang Ruijin.

"At this point in the case, the county magistrate should make a decision earlier."

Zhang Fangyuan clenched his fists tightly, the Zeng family didn't pay any attention to help, and even came to step on it, which is very good, fortunately, he didn't follow the Zeng family's suggestion.

The county magistrate had to listen to Tongzhi's speech, with a smile in his eyes: "The defendant Zhang Fangyuan has no strong evidence to refute the plaintiff, and the defendant is sentenced to compensate the Qin family's medical treatment and others for a loss of 300 taels. , it is not appropriate to open a martial arts hall, and the management of Ji'an martial arts hall is prohibited."

The decree was drawn out, and just as it was about to be thrown down, the closed door that had not accepted the case was suddenly pushed open, and a group of people and horses came in and stood in line. The hand holding the order trembled slightly.

Zeng Tongzhi, who was sitting on the opposite leg, was startled at first, and then stood up from his seat in a daze.

"Tong, how did the general judge come?"
