The most unlucky crossing in history

Chapter 10 Trial 2

Zhong Qiyun was taken to a resting place behind the courtroom awaiting trial.Two officers and soldiers with expressionless faces on the left and right guarded him. The two officers and soldiers were very restrained, and they never chatted without the presence of superiors.

Zhong Qiyun had some doubts about whether Xie Wenyuan was from a military background, and why the punishment department was like a barracks.

Although the place where he is is behind the court, there is still some distance. He can faintly hear voices coming from the hall, but he can't make out what it is. It's just that occasionally the voice is more passionate, and occasionally it becomes noisy, so I can't figure it out. state.

Zhong Qiyun couldn't do it, so he stopped listening carefully, and simply closed his eyes to rest his mind, thinking about his lines later.

Today is the public trial of the Minister of Dali Temple, which is presided over by the Minister of Dali Temple himself. Under the plaque of "law enforcement is equal" on the highest part of the lobby, Xie Wenyuan is dressed in dark purple court clothes, with his hair tied up high, and his expression is indifferent.

Standing in the hall was Yu Wenguang, Sima Junjun of the Shu Prefecture Prefecture, who announced Zhou Youling's crimes and the history of the crime today.

This eloquent person was very eloquent, and when he told the case, he was eloquent and eloquent, describing how Zhou Youling had evil intentions, how he committed crimes, and how he caused the death of the second daughter of the Wu family.

"... When we searched for the second daughter of the Wu family, both of them were thrown in the wild in Qinghe Mountain, with no clothes covering their bodies, and they had already died. What's more..." Sima Jianjun of the Shu Prefecture Prefecture seemed to be unable to bear it, and paused. , and then continued: "There are wild dogs in the mountains standing by and gnawing on them, and the whole picture is gone!"

As soon as these words came out, the whole hall sighed, and the people outside the hall shouted angrily, "Zhou Youling pays for his life."

Outside the hall, Linghu Qing heard that Zhou Youling was being tried by his friend today, so he came to the Yamen of Dali Temple in casual clothes to join in the fun.

The entourage around him heard it from the beginning to the end, and they also beat their chests and stamped their feet, and were very annoyed: "Zhou Youling really deserves to die! Such a good girl died so tragically..."

Linghu Qing nodded and said, "That's true, but the ups and downs of Sima's joining the army are really better than the storyteller in Qingshui Pavilion we went to the day before yesterday."

The emotions of the people guarding here are all mobilized, and they really have the ability to tell stories. However, this is a court after all. Regarding Xie Wenyuan's temperament, Linghu's feelings are more or less understood. This person never likes such smooth talk. Inciting rhetoric, let alone in the solemn courtroom... Linghu Qing faintly understands why Xie Wenyuan asked this person to speak the case.

Linghu understands the feelings, but the principal, judge and head book of the Dali Temple who participated in the trial this time just doubted their Dali Temple secretary.

The style this time seemed to be different from the past, but he didn't dare to say more, and let Sima join the army to add fuel and vinegar to continue talking.

Until Sima joined the army and cried out: "The death of the second daughter of the Wu family is so tragic, we can't bear to look directly at it."

Xie Wenyuan seemed to be listening attentively, and his expression became more solemn. He who usually doesn't speak much in court trials suddenly sighed: "It's only two or eight years old."

As soon as these few short words were uttered, it seemed as if a boulder was quietly dropped from a deep pool, and it reached the hearts of all the people at once, and the crowd was furious.

"Zhou Youling committed such a serious case, the facts are clear, the evidence is conclusive, and he has confessed to the crime, signed and pledged. The first volume of the Criminal Law 160 five articles: "Anyone who kills intentionally and kills will be punished as a major crime", the fourth volume of the Criminal Law The second item of Article [-] reads: 'The person who rapes a woman and causes her death shall be sentenced to beheading!'”

When Yu Wenguang said this, he stepped quickly into the hall, cupped his hands to Xie Wenyuan who was sitting in front of him, and said, "Master Xie, Zhou Youling is ruthless and inhumane. What he committed is against the heavens and justice, and everyone has to punish him! Our Shu The state government has sentenced Zhou Youling to beheaded on June 21, [-], Chonghong, and the execution is scheduled for the third day of September, please approve it!"

After saying this, the people outside the auditorium all cheered together.

"The crime is heinous, murder pays for life!"

Seeing this, Master Bo got up and shouted twice for silence, and the voices in the hall gradually stopped.

Xie Wenyuan waited for the hall to be quiet before opening his mouth and said: "The second daughter of the Wu family died unjustly. Those who did such evil things are not tolerated by the laws and by the laws of heaven. I will not tolerate such sinners when I am young. This matter has nothing to do with it." Human life, this temple will bring the real culprit to the law to comfort the spirits of the two daughters of the Wu family."

Xie Wenyuan said this, and said loudly: "Bring the criminal Zhou Youling to the court for trial!"

The little official who was listening to the order said loudly: "Bring Zhou Youling into the hall!"

When Zhong Qiyun was brought into the court, there was an instant flood of curses pouring down like mountains and seas, hitting his eardrums, beating his heart, and making his ears buzz.

Zhong Qiyun was a little dazed, he had only been in the back room for an hour, right?What happened in this short period of time?How do you feel that the people's hatred of "him" has doubled again?

It was almost as if he was going to be executed on the spot.

What did Xie Wenyuan do to make the common people hate Zhou Youling so much?

Zhong Qiyun didn't know, his ears hurt a little, he looked up into the hall, and saw Xie Wenyuan who was sitting on the top seat, dressed in court clothes, looking very majestic.

Zhong Qiyun sighed inwardly.

What a good-looking person, wearing this kind of popular clothes also looks suave and suave, with a brilliant temperament.

But without waiting for him to think too much, Xie Wenyuan, the person holding the writing brush in the lower left hand, frowned and said, "Why don't you kneel down? Are you contemptuous of the court?"

Zhong Qiyun was startled, kneeling?To whom to kneel?Xie Wenyuan?impossible!

Zhong Qiyun looked around, pretending not to hear.

Yu Wenguang of the Shu State hurriedly said: "My lords, I don't know. When this man was imprisoned in the dungeon of the Shu State Mansion, even the prisoners couldn't see him because of his crimes. One day he beat him at night. I don't know. It's somewhere, it has become stupid and can't speak."

Yu Wenguang took a step forward and explained: "Among the case files and documents delivered the day before yesterday, there is a doctor's testimony of Dr. Jiang from the Antang Hall of Shuzhou Prefecture."

"I heard about this when I was in Shuzhou." Xie Wenyuan also responded: "I have been detained for half a month in Beijing, and I have seen that he has never spoken."

"Master Xie, this prisoner Zhou Youling is stupid and doesn't listen to others. It is understandable that he didn't kneel just now, but whether he is stupid or stupid, he must abide by the court rules and kneel when he enters this hall."

Xie Wenyuan only looked at Zhong Qiyun in the hall, noncommittal, there seemed to be a slight smile in his eyes.

Seeing this, Zhong Qiyun didn't understand what Master Xie meant?They put it here and wait for him to kneel down and apologize, no wonder he is not angry these days when he is so mean, he had already expected such an incident!

Ouch, misstep misstep.

Zhong Qiyun shook his head, forget it, it's time to go to the countryside and do as the Romans do.

Besides, modern people are able to bend and stretch, kneeling on their knees to their parents, ancestors and wives.

Zhong Qiyun didn't have much gold under his knees, even though he had only kneeled down to his parents, it would be no big deal to kneel down to Mr. Xie again.

Now that we have reached this point, Zhong Qiyun no longer hides it, and brushes back his messy hair, revealing his entire face.

Where can I still see a stupid look?

Zhong Qiyun looked at Sima Jianjun of Shuzhou on the front right, and said, "This lord is not right. I don't know if Zhou Youling is really crazy or not, and I have no way of knowing, but at least I have a clear understanding of my mental state. very."

Then Zhong Qiyun turned his head in surprise when he saw Sima joining the army in Shuzhou.

Zhong Qiyun said again: "I'm not a fool, but I can also talk."

"you you you......"

When Yu Wenguang realized something, his eyes widened and his face gradually became frightened, and the two were fighting, and he almost couldn't stand up!

On the contrary, the smile on Zhong Qiyun's face became deeper and deeper.

"Oh, my lord, are you afraid? Your legs are shaking like chaff, as if you saw a ghost coming to claim your life."

Seeing this, Xie Wenyuan followed him and pretended to be surprised: "You are not dumb? Then why did you pretend to be dumb on the way to Beijing?!"

"I dare not, villain, because I am not Zhou Youling, the son of the Jinchuan Zhou family!" Zhong Qiyun sighed.

"Master Xie," Zhong Qiyun raised his head to look at Xie Wenyuan in a loud voice, then knelt down neither humble nor overbearing, and bowed his hands in salute, "The villain Chen Chong, a native of Jinchuan County, has a big grievance to sue, and I hope Mr. Xie will do it for you." The villain complains!"

As soon as these words came out, the audience was in an uproar!

Xie Wenyuan looked at Zhong Qiyun, who was kneeling neatly in front of him, and slightly hooked his lips.

Then he said: "What do you mean? What is Chen Chong, what is not Zhou Youling, could it be that you have arrested the wrong person?"

"My lord, the villain's concealment all the way is definitely not intentional, it's just a matter of life and death! Please check clearly, my lord." After finishing speaking, he kowtowed to Xie Wenyuan very seriously.

"..."

This man is really resilient.
