Many government officials, including the governor and Xu Sima, had only one sentence in their minds: Why is this trick happening again?!
Even Magistrate Su and Su Qian on the side looked surprised...
Xu Qing cupped his hands again and said: "According to the law, if the compensation is not paid within the time limit, the compensation should be double. I ask the governor to make the decision for me."
Xu Sima's face suddenly turned livid. He waved his sleeves and looked at Xu Qing with an angry face: "You! My son was beaten like this by you, how dare you bite back?!"
Xu Qing spread his hands and said: "Master Xu, everything must be done with evidence. Last night I was still discussing cooking techniques with my wife. My wife can testify for me. I have a sufficient alibi."
Xu Sima said with a gloomy face: "Your wife is naturally facing you, how can she also face outsiders?! This can also be used as evidence?! Where is your conscience?!"
Xu Qing looked at Xu Sima and said, "Well, I still have witnesses. Mr. Xu, where are your witnesses and evidence? Who saw me beating your son?"
Xu Sima was choked by Xu Qing's words and could not speak. He just pointed a finger at Xu Qing: "You! You!"
Xu Qing looked at Xu Sima and said, "Moreover, how do I know that you are not using this trick to save thirty thousand taels of silver, and then passing the blame to me just to save these thirty thousand taels of silver?"
Xu Sima couldn't help but widen his eyes when he heard Xu Qing's words, and pointed at Xu Qing with trembling fingers: "You! You! How dare you spit on others?! How could I do such a dirty thing?
What?! You! Ridiculous! Absolutely ridiculous!”
Xu Qing said: "It doesn't cost a thousand taels to heal your master's hand and leg, right? If I commit a crime and take revenge on the Xu family, I can save thirty thousand taels! This business is done by me.
Do the same."
Speaking of this, Xu Qing paused and continued: "Furthermore, my son's leg has been broken early and late, but it happened to be broken just when the deadline came. Mr. Xu can't produce either evidence or evidence. It's very difficult."
Please don’t think so."
Xu Qing was talking here, and Xu Shen, who was lying on the stretcher, couldn't help but widen his eyes: "Dad, you! You!"
Obviously, this stupid son was also convinced by Xu Qing's remarks. After all, he really didn't see the face of the perpetrator this time in the alley next to Piaoxiang Courtyard... Moreover, Xu Qing
What Qing said does make sense...
If you think about it from his perspective, he would not be willing to pay out 30,000 taels if he could spend one thousand taels!
Xu Sima turned his head and said in a deep voice: "Shut up!"
He really didn't expect that his stupid son was really led astray by Xu Qing's few words, and he forgot who was the best to him in the family?!
Seeing the debate turning into a quarrel, the governor couldn't help but patted the wall and said in a deep voice: "Quiet! Mr. Xu, regarding your accusation of Xu Qing hurting your beloved son, have you ever done anything?
Direct evidence that Xu Qing committed the crime?"
Xu Sima immediately bent down and cupped his hands and said: "Not yet, but sir, there is a serious suspicion on Xu Qing! If he is caught and tortured, and he does not change his words after being tortured, then the officials will believe Xu Qing's words.
A few points."
Su Qian, who was standing next to Xu Qing, changed her face when she heard this. She immediately stepped forward to block Xu Qing behind her and said in a firm voice: "No!"
County Magistrate Su walked up to Su Qian and cupped his hands and said: "Xu Qing was summoned for no reason. It is extremely unjust. How can he use punishment without any evidence?! Lord Governor, this is against the rules!"
The governor coughed and said: "Master Xu, you have neither physical evidence nor witnesses. I cannot torture Xu Qing. If no evidence can be produced, I will have no choice but to sentence Master Xu to double compensation of Xu Qing's money."
"
Even if Xu Qing really did this, we can’t do it!
If I beat Xu Qing today, maybe the prince will come over and tuck his hat tomorrow! Even if the prince doesn't come, the shopkeepers in his shop are all princesses... Those who watch the show are all princes, tsk tsk...
...Think about it...such a master, not to mention the small city of Yongzhou, even in the capital city, he would walk sideways!
Xu Sima also didn't expect that the governor would be so biased towards Xu Qing in the court. Didn't Xu Qing offend the governor the last time he was in Yong'an County Yamen?!
Why is he still looking towards Xu Qing like this?!
Xu Sima really couldn't figure it out.
The governor looked at Xu Sima who could not speak a word and said again: "Master Xu, I ask you again, do you have direct or indirect evidence to prove that Xu Qing did this?"
Xu Sima's body was trembling a little, but he could only shake his head and said: "Xiaoguan... no..."
The governor was stunned: "Since Mr. Xu does not have sufficient evidence to prove that Xu Qing did it, I will order the Xu family to double compensation for the Xu family's losses, totaling 60,000 taels, and withdraw from court!"
…
There was a stove burning above the court hall, but Xu Sima couldn't help but the air-conditioning blew up.
At this moment, Xu Sima really wanted to know whether Xu Qing did this? If Xu Qing did it this time, then Xu Qing must also have done what happened last time in the palace.
Wasn't Xu Qing's invitation torn up by Shen'er? How could he enter the palace to attend the birthday banquet when it was torn up?
Unless...there is someone else behind Xu Qing who is supporting him...if he can get into the palace, is he someone from the palace?
But Xu Qing was just a small detective before, so how did he recognize the nobles in the palace?
Xu Sima couldn't figure it out... Originally he thought it was just a simple matter to deal with a small policeman. At this moment, Xu Sima felt more and more that this matter was getting more difficult.
Xu Sima walked out of the court in a daze. When he saw Xu Qing walking out from the side, Xu Sima suddenly turned his head and looked at Xu Qing: "What you did was right or wrong?!"
Xu Qing shook his head and said: "Mr. Xu, don't rant if you don't have evidence. I have never admitted it."
Xu Sima's eyes widened and he gritted his teeth and said: "It's not you?! How could it not be you! Don't you just want thirty thousand taels?! I'll give it to you! I'll give it to you!"
Xu Qing shook his head and said: "Master Xu was joking. The verdict just now is clear. The thirty thousand taels yesterday are already sixty thousand taels today."
Xu Sima clenched his fists and said: "Sixty thousand taels. The wealth I have accumulated in half my life is only 60,000 taels! Don't go too far!"
Xu Qing smiled slightly and said: "Master Xu, please listen to the next sentence. These silvers are all external possessions. In the future, Master Xu can be greedy... ahem... and make more money. My son only has one life! Which one is lighter?"
It’s serious, Mr. Xu, please weigh it again? I’m not in a hurry, really, I’m not in a hurry at all.”
