Shaodian Tong smiled but his heart was as sharp as a knife.
In the first stage, the court focused on interrogating him about his outing with Dong Jin, and the people in the imperial clan could not stop Si Lv Si from investigating his grudge against Dong Jin.
The question is whether what Dong Jin said after the outing was true?
None of Shaodian Tong's "ex-girlfriends" came forward to testify.
Originally, several aristocratic women wanted to go to court to prove that he had that ability, but Si Lusi sent people to investigate and they all backed down. No one could lie in front of these old guards.
"How do you prove that Dong Jin is spreading rumors?" Cui Shuo's question struck a chord with his soul.
What does Shaodian Tong have to prove? He can't just perform in the lobby.
"Young people don't have to do anything when they are alone. How can Dong Jin prove that Shaodian Tong is incompetent? What was she telling her friends about but spreading rumors?" Officials from the clan government immediately came to the rescue.
"Dong Jin told a friend a fact. The description of Shaodian Tong's abilities was speculation. It was purely a joke between friends. It was not decided in public. According to the law, it does not constitute rumours.
Later, it was maliciously spread by some people. It was not Dong Jin’s original intention and it was not under her control. There was no reason for Shaodian Tong to imprison and lynch her.”
Cui Shuo knew that it would be difficult to convict Shaodian Tong of rape, so he divided the case into several parts and listed several charges for Shaodian Tong.
It is a fact that Shaodian Tong has a grudge against Dong Jin. The clerk at Miaoweilou can prove that he shouted to kill Dong Jin. Bing Lulu's neighbors can prove that he led people to break into the house privately. The confessions of him and the guards can prove that he illegally imprisoned him.
.
In this way, Shaodian Tong was charged with five crimes including intentional murder, breaking into private houses, illegal confinement, lynching and rape of women.
However, the only crimes that can really convict him are home invasion and illegal confinement, and there is insufficient evidence for other crimes.
Even if the three-party trial is conducted in secret, the inside story will be leaked out sooner or later, and Shaodian Tong's reputation will be greatly affected. There are things he cannot explain, and he can only swallow the pain.
"Why? Why!" Shaodianshi was furious, "Why is Si Lusi holding on to Tong'er and not letting go? How can I fail the Legal Affairs Department?"
The people next to him were silent, and no one could answer his question.
"Say!" He pointed at his son.
Shaonianji said bravely: "The Attorney General's Office never returns empty-handed when handling a case. The greater the resistance they encounter, the more they will complete the case. This is their consistent style."
"Although Tong'er is usually naughty, he has a good heart and has never meant to harm others. Why should he suffer such a crime? Even if his father and I have done something wrong, he should not have to bear it!" Shaodianshi felt sorry for his grandson.
Son.
The Intelligence Division confirmed that there was an unknown force behind the Shaodian Tong case. Shaodian knew that his grandson was being used to make a fuss. In fact, the real target was him or Shaodianji, who was determined to prevent his grandson from suffering.
"The Senate is so interested, is there something wrong with those elders?" Shaodianji didn't think that he had offended a big force. The top families in the country would only have problems with his father.
"It's not unusual for the Jiang family and the Long family to cause trouble for us because of Ding Kui's relationship, but they probably won't do it too obviously. It's not in their family's interests to go against the imperial court.
It's just that there are people who are causing mischief in secret, and they are happy to add fuel to the flames and get a good reputation for caring and protecting the little nobles." Shaodian didn't want to misjudge the Jiang family and the Long family.
"With them protecting the Dong family, it will be difficult for us to find out the mastermind behind the scenes." Shaodianji failed to complete the task of settling the Dong family, and was often complained by Shaodianshi.
"Hmph! They want to frame Tong'er, and I will never let them succeed! You ask Tong'er to join the military command department tomorrow, and give Yang Feng a secret order to find a way to win the battle and put the credit on Tong'er." Shaodian.
At this time, he used the methods commonly used in the Knights Association.
"You mean to let Tong'er take the blame for his crime, okay, I'll do it immediately." Shaodian continued to understand.
…
Ding Kui and Shaodian Luan got into a caravan and left the capital.
The two followed the caravan for two days before leaving quietly the next night. Ding Kui didn't know where to get two good horses, and they traveled all night and galloped westward.
Phu Quoc County can be called the largest Shaodian clan territory. The premise is that when comparing the county, a large number of Shaodian people live here. The locals basically call them by their first names. No one calls them by their first names and surnames unless they meet in person.
To foreigners from other places.
The county town is famous as a city that never sleeps. The city gates are not closed at night and are only guarded by a small number of guards. People can come and go all day long. However, serious criminal cases rarely occur here. The locals will not take the initiative to commit crimes, and outsiders dare not come here.
Cause trouble, because the Shaodianmian family governs this place.
"What an eye-opener! Even Giant City does not have such an atmosphere. There are still many places for the juniors to learn from the elders." Ding Kui was in Fuguo County at the moment.
He and his wife accompanied Shao Dianmian on the carriage. The carriage drove slowly through the bustling streets. Everywhere they looked, they saw peaceful and joyful scenes. They left Zhenjing in a hurry. It turned out that they wanted to meet Shao Dianmian.
"Haha, the situation in the Prince Consort's territory is different. Juyang City is close to the three southern countries. In addition to leading foreign countries, I heard that there are also trade routes opened by the Ancient Yuan Empire. People from many countries are mixed together, and management is much more difficult than here.
Most of the people here are from the same tribe. The old man has little reputation within the tribe. He can mediate if something goes wrong. Everyone is used to being reasonable. Outsiders will be targeted when they come here. No matter what they do, they will be caught. Over time, they will be able to
This is the current situation.”
Shaodianmian deliberately took the two guests around his own territory, not only to show his closeness, but also to show his strength.
"Get used to being reasonable, good!" Ding Kui raised his thumb, "To convince people with reason and to convince people with virtue, this is the highest state of governing a place!"
Shao Dian Luan sat quietly beside her husband without saying a word. When Shao Dian Mian looked over, he responded with a smile.
"Hahaha!" Shaodian laughed heartily, "I love hearing what my consort says. I don't know why these words come out of your mouth so sincerely."
One is willing to support and the other is willing to receive. There is nothing better than this for both host and guest to enjoy each other.
"Governing a place is a small matter, but pacifying the world is a big thing. The prince-in-law is the one who can achieve big things. Don't stick to small things. The future of the kingdom depends on you." Shao Dianmian led the conversation to the main topic.
He originally wanted to push Shao Dian Luan out, but seeing Shao Dian Luan's attitude, he knew who was in charge.
"This junior is a reckless man, but only under the guidance of a wise king can he achieve great achievements.
The problem of the kingdom is that treacherous and sycophants control the government, causing the wise king to be imprisoned, and strange kings to come to the throne to turn everything upside down. The country is no longer a country, and the people are in dire straits.
You are the great hermit of the country, and you have the important task of supporting the government and rescuing the people from fire and water. When discussing important matters, Kui should look at you as your own." Ding Kui returned a tall hat.
"Contribute to the country, no matter how big or small, old or young, high or low. If you have a heart, you are one of our generation. If you have any ideas, you can just say it."
Shaodianmian pressed the button and closed the doors and windows of the carriage to isolate the outside sound.
