The rise of the poor

Chapter 652 Counterattack
"Look, wouldn't it be enough to let us in earlier? Now we have to trouble the elder in the hall to send someone to invite us in."

When Liu Dadao followed the guards to the hall of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, he still turned his head to stimulate the Jin Yiwei who stopped them just now, then patted his buttocks, swaggeringly followed Liu Mu and the others.

You idiot, what are you dragging, do you think the court is so easy to get in, I'm afraid it's easy for you to get in, but hard to get out!
Jin Yiwei looked at the backs of Liu Dadao and the others with contempt, curled his lips in disdain.

However, Liu Dadao couldn't see Jin Yiwei's expression, so Liu Dadao walked in with a good feeling about himself.

When Liu Dadao and the others walked into the Yamen of the Ministry of Criminal Justice with the guards, Wang Shizhen and Zhang Siwei were still stopped outside, unable to enter without official letters.In desperation, he had to wait outside for news.

When Liu Dadao and the others arrived at the court of the Ministry of Punishment, they were a little nervous when they first saw so many officials in official uniforms, as well as guards and servants all over the courtyard.They are all hunters in the mountains, and they have never seen such a battle before.

"Don't be nervous. If your lord asks anything, just answer it truthfully." Zhu Pingan walked up to Liu Dadao and the others, patted their shoulders lightly, and smiled nonchalantly.

Yes, there is a young master here, why are you so nervous.

Seeing Zhu Ping'an's confident and calm smile, Liu Dadao and the others were also infected by his confidence and indifference, and the tension in his heart quickly dissipated.

"Who is in the hall? Where is the person? What does it have to do with this case?" Wang Xueyi in the courtroom patted the gavel and asked loudly.

"Reporting to Master Qingtian, the younger ones are Liu Mu (Liu Dadao and Liu Dachui). We are hunters in Liujia Village at the foot of Yunmeng Mountain. We are witnesses. All 59 people in our village, old and young, women and children, were 'borrowed' by Zhao Daying. I have lost my head, I will not die with peace in my eyes, please be the master for our Liujia Village."

Liu Mu led Liu Dadao and they knelt down in the hall. When they talked about the tragedy in the village, they couldn't help feeling sad, their eyes were tearing apart, and they stared at Zhao Daying.

After Liu Mu, Liu Dadao and others testified against Zhao Daying, there was another round of discussions in the courtroom. Many officials bowed their heads and discussed in low voices.

Judging cases in ancient times paid attention to listening to lawsuits with five tones and observing words and expressions, which is similar to the way of listening, hearing and asking in Chinese medicine.The five-tone hearing refers to speech listening, color listening, air listening, ear listening, and visual listening. These methods are used to carefully observe the parties, so as to achieve the purpose of identifying evidence and judging the facts of the case.

The officials in the hall and the hall have been observing after Liu Mu, Liu Dadao and others entered the hall, carefully watching every move of Liu Mu, Liu Dadao and others, and listening carefully to their every word.

"It doesn't look like a fake."

"The canthus is about to split, and the crown is full of anger. Generally, this kind of grief and anger cannot be acted out, but it is not necessarily."

Two officials in the auditorium were discussing in a low voice, and another official joined in after a while.

Listen to the chatter around.

Zhao Daying, who was in the center of the storm, was surprisingly calm, showing the demeanor of a general, as if Liu Mu, Liu Dadao and others were not the ones who testified against him.

When the discussion in the courtroom was almost fermented, Zhao Daying spoke up, "My lord, can you allow me to ask these witnesses a few questions?"

"But it's okay to ask."

For Zhao Daying, the presiding judges in the courtroom have always been good at accepting advice.

"Thank you sir."

Zhao Daying thanked the presiding judge with his hands clasped together, then walked up to Liu Mu, Liu Dadao and the others and asked loudly, "I have a few questions, and you should answer them truthfully. Answer what you ask and don't talk nonsense. I'll ask you , You said that I, Zhao Daying, borrowed the heads of 59 people, old and young, women and children in your Liujia Village, so let me ask you, were you there at the time?"

"Uh, not here."

Liu Mu, Liu Dadao and others looked at each other, then shook their heads.When they came down from the battlefield and returned home, the village was already a mess, hell on earth.If they were at home, no matter how hard they tried, this tragedy would not have happened.

"Then you saw with your own eyes that I, Zhao Daying, borrowed their heads?" Zhao Daying asked again.

Liu Mu, Liu Dadao and others still shook their heads. This question is no different from the question just now. How can we see it with our own eyes if we are not there.

"Then you heard with your own ears that I, Zhao Daying, asked the old and young women and children in your village to borrow their heads?" Zhao Daying continued to ask.

Liu Dadao and the others still shook their heads, they really didn't hear it.

Everyone in the courtroom looked at Liu Dadao and others and shook their heads. What kind of witnesses are you? If you are not at the scene, you did not witness it, and you did not hear it, what kind of witnesses are you doing?How can you be regarded as witnesses, this is not a joke.

Play the piano!
In addition, everyone looked at Zhu Ping'an with disappointment, sighs or ridicule.

Now Zhu Ping'an is over.

You are still too young and too impulsive to do things. This painful lesson is enough for you to remember long enough, but you don’t know if you still have a chance.It would be a pity if, like Zhao Jin and Zhou Mian, they were directly sent to jail and lost their official titles and honors, what about the youngest number one scholar in Ming Dynasty, tsk tsk, maybe he would be the shortest-lived number one scholar in Ming Dynasty.
Nice counterattack.

The big picture is set.

The military officers in the auditorium had a celebratory smile on their faces.

Looking at the reactions of all the officials in the hall, Zhao Daying couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth. He looked at Zhu Ping'an, Liu Dadao and others, just like looking at a dying person. This is how the winners look down on the losers. attitude.

"My lord, I don't have anything to ask." Zhao Daying looked away from Zhu Ping'an and bowed to the presiding judge.

"Did you hear Zhao Daying's question just now?" Wang Xueyi asked Liu Dadao and others.

Liu Dadao and the others nodded.

"Snapped"

"How courageous! You are not at the scene, you have not seen it with your own eyes, and you have not heard it with your own ears. You still dare to testify, but you are playing tricks on this court?! Come on, put them in the back prison, and they will be convicted and punished after the case is closed."

Wang Xueyi first slapped the gavel forcefully, winning the first blow, and then reprimanded him sternly.

"Ah? Master Qingtian was wronged."

Liu Dadao and others knelt on the ground in a daze, looking at Wang Xueyi and other presiding judges in the courtroom like lost lambs. Their eyes were dark. It was obvious that their parents, family and folks were killed by Zhao Daying, and they were clearly victims. Just based on Zhao Daying's two questions, they were convicted.

I thought their county was so dark because the sky was high and the emperor was far away.

did not expect

The same is true at the feet of the Son of Heaven.
It turns out that crows are always black no matter where they are.
"As ordered."

Hearing the sound, the officers of the Ministry of Punishment on both sides walked over with their killing sticks. When they were about to reach Liu Dadao and the others, they suddenly heard a dumbfounding voice from the side, which was unusually clear in the silent lobby.

"slow."

This is a young voice.Hearing the sound, the officer of the Ministry of Punishment subconsciously stopped in his tracks and looked up at the speaker.

Zhu Ping'an appeared in front of them, with the corners of his mouth raised, like the sun shining through the dark clouds.
