Rebirth married the control group as husband

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 gave a cold snort when he saw the calm and composed man, and after waiting for seven days, Zhang Fangyuan never came to beg for mercy. happy.

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 is up, can you have someone to present evidence?"

"Reporting to my lord, the plaintiff Qin Shang has no law, bullied others with the intention of belittling the husband of the grassroots, and 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 on."

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

Qin The family has been rampant for many years, and it is not just a day or two to bully others. The place where the incident happened is a vegetable market and a busy place. There are obviously many witnesses, but the grassroots searched for witnesses, but none of them dared to come forward to testify, which is enough to show how arrogant the plaintiff is in private. " Qin Hongde scolded: "There is no evidence , so don't make up random slanders, the lawsuit

is not won by spouting blood!"

Dangerous."

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

Qin Shang's face 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, and please summon them for trial!" The county magistrate

under the four characters hanging high in the mirror glanced at Qin Hongde in the hall, fell 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?"

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 a needle could be heard falling silently in the hall. , He really wanted to go up and tear down the county magistrate and beat him up.

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 be..." Before he finished speaking, the master suddenly bowed his waist and went to the county

. Ling whispered a few words beside him, and the county magistrate's expression changed slightly.

"Please come in quickly."

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 this person, they couldn't help but looked at each other.

"Why did he come here?"

Xu He asked Zhang Fangyuan beside him in a low voice. Zhang Fangyuan rejected the people from the Zeng family when they came over that day. The two discussed and did not plan to find the Zeng family. , How come the court trial again.

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 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 is the trial of the case, Master Zhao will continue.

" A good piece of decree was thrown down, and the jury came. How could it be said that the case was coming to an end.

The county magistrate bit the bullet: "Defendant Zhang Fangyuan, you said you brought witnesses, and this morning they will be sent to court!"

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

"Witness witness!"

Zhang Fangyuan couldn't find the witness on the day of the incident a few days ago, so he had to reorganize his thinking. He turned his head and thought about the young woman who was bullied by Qin Shang before. trip.

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.

"Mister Shen Xiaolian has met your lord."

"Sir, I was told that Shang Qin had treated you lightly, and your husband was injured when he defended 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? Did you go to court 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 grassroots people, how dare they report to the officials." The woman cried and wiped her tears: "The husband was covered in blood that day, and the woman was helpless. I am so worried about my husband's safety that I really don't have the time and energy to report to the authorities, and I hope your lord will check it out!" "

What evidence do you have?"

The woman hastily handed in the medical consultation form and the medicine. He also said: "The husband of the woman can be a witness, and the injury has not healed yet, and she is still lying in bed at home." "My

lord, if what this woman said is true, I will not sue for the time being, but the Zhang family defendant stood up. Come out, it's hard not to let people guess that Mrs. Shen was bribed by Zhang's family!"

The county magistrate didn't say a word, and then glanced at Tong Zhi, seeing that the wind direction had changed, Tong Zhi didn't feel unhappy, on the contrary, he looked leisurely. While drinking the tea, he breathed a sigh of relief, thinking it was just a formality, so that he would be relaxed 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 when the incident happened. She gave you money and sent servants to take your husband to the hospital. Is Mrs. Shen really involved?" "My lord, Mr. Zhang is kind-hearted

, I did help you." 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 are also together Surprised, how could it become perjury?

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 is wronged! Housewives would never dare!"

"You benefited from the Zhang family in the first place, and you never sued the officials. You just said that Qin Shang was molesting on the basis of one-sided words? There is no witness, who knows it is Didn't Qin Shang do it? Just relying on the medicine list as proof, it is true that Zhang Fangyuan gave you money!" "I

see you as a perjury, and the Zhang family recruited you to make a false accusation!" The county magistrate plausibly said: "The Qin family is a big family in the city. How could they flirt with a married woman like you? I think it's unreasonable!

" Thanks to this woman, her husband won't be bedridden if he is treated by the best doctor early in the morning!"

"Stop trying to quibble!"

Zhang Fangyuan saw that he was just going through the motions when he brought witnesses, but now he has witnesses. It was also his fault, and he felt cold in his heart.

Zeng Tong glanced at Zhang Fangyuan without knowing the trace, even at this juncture, he didn't look at the person begging for mercy. 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 this case, the county magistrate should make a decision early."

Zhang Fangyuan clenched his fists tightly. Zeng's proposal.

The county magistrate had to listen to Tong Zhi'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 the martial arts hall, and prohibit the operation of the Ji'an martial arts hall."

The judgment was drawn out, and when it was about to be thrown down, the closed door that had not publicly accepted the case was suddenly pushed open, and a team of people came in and stood in line. Seeing the man in the scarlet robe who walked in from the middle after the officers and soldiers unfolded, the hand holding Judgment 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?"
