"Miss Chen, they have handed over the deed of sale," Li Chuang said.
The master handed the deed of sale to Chen Jinchu. Chen Jinchu looked at it with a heavy heart and felt sorry for the original owner: Are there such parents in the world? They sold their daughters to others to be used as cattle and horses, and they can kill them at will? Now that I see my daughter,
She's getting better in life and wants to ruin her again?
But she is not Liu Liang'er!
She is Chen Jinchu!
"You just said I have scars on my right arm, are you sure?" Chen Jinchu asked.
When Mrs. Liu Zhang heard this, she became energetic again: "I'm sure! The scar is definitely still there."
Liu Meng originally wanted to say that there was a phoenix flower birthmark on her left shoulder, which was extremely bright red and very cute - but he did not dare to say that blatantly. This was what he saw when he peeped at her taking a shower. If he said
If he comes out, he will expose the fact that he peeped at his sister taking a shower, which can ruin him, but he will also be implicated.
Chen Jinchu looked around the courtroom and said with a smile: "Everyone wants to know, right? Compared with the charges of disloyalty and unfilial piety, my personal innocence is nothing to mention. In order to prove my innocence, I can only show my arms for everyone to see.
Take a look."
She pulled up her sleeves, revealing half of her arm, and showed it to Li Chuang and the many people watching: "There are no scars on my handwriting."
This was all thanks to Shoubao, and of course Ye Fusu used the priceless treasure Nine Flowers Ointment to slap it upwards. Except for the wounds on the palm and left shoulder where the sword penetrated and there were some light scars, the other places were smooth and tender.
"There are no scars here! I admitted the wrong person."
"I think he either admitted his mistake or wanted to blackmail someone."
"Yeah, look at how these country bumpkins could give birth to such outstanding and noble daughters!"
"Bah, it's so shameless. Even if it's their daughter, they've sold it and they still have the nerve to get it back!"
"Where can I find it? If you really want to find it, how can you sue the government?"
"Everyone can see clearly, there is no scar on my left wrist." Chen Jinchu smiled lightly.
Mrs. Liu Zhang hurriedly said: "As long as you take medicine, the scar can be removed. You are so cruel. You can deny me as your stepmother, but how can you deny your father?"
Chen Jinchu said: "You are so brave! I am a Jinshi appointed by the Holy Spirit, ranking first in the second class. I have a great reputation, how can I allow you to make false accusations! Don't say that I am not your daughter, even if I am your daughter
, you have sold me, and I have nothing to do with you."
"Sir, according to the law, a false accusation should last for one year and travel five hundred miles." Chen Jinchu bowed slightly to Li Chuang.
Li Chuang is also afraid of touching this hot potato. He has been an official for many years and is very cunning. He knows that this matter is fishy. If there is no mastermind behind these people, he will not believe it. It is important to close the case as soon as possible while the mastermind has not shown up.
.
The most important thing is that the reason why he has been able to serve as Jing Zhaoyin in Tian'an for so many years is entirely because of Ye Fusu. Otherwise, there are so many powerful people in Beijing and the affairs in Beijing are complicated, and none of the Jing Zhaoyins would have been in office for more than five years.
, but Li Chuang is an exception.
He handled this matter well and took credit from Ye Fusu. At least he could not offend Ye Fusu.
"Being bold and unfaithful to the people, false accusation is a serious crime! If I keep appeasing you, you will definitely do it worse, not knowing etiquette, and not abiding by the law! Miss Chen is a Jinshi appointed by the Holy Spirit, and she will definitely become an official in the future. If you dare to falsely accuse an official of the imperial court,
If you say that no one gave you the instructions, I will never believe it! You can recruit them based on the truth and avoid the physical pain."
Liu Jili hurriedly knelt down and said, "Sir, no one really gave me permission! We really came to the capital to find relatives."
Mrs. Liu Zhang also knelt down and said, "Sir, women don't dare to lie. We came here on our own."
"Did you write the lawsuit yourself?" Li Chuang asked.
Liu Meng grabbed the words at this time and said: "We asked someone to write it."
Li Chuang said: "When was it, where was it, who wrote it? How much did it cost?"
The four of them looked at each other, completely unable to answer.
Liu Meng said: "We are new here and we are not familiar with the capital. We just saw someone setting up a stall that day and spent two copper coins."
Chen Jinchu sneered: "What day is that day?"
Liu Meng scratched his head and said, "That's the day when the results will be announced."
Chen Jinchu said: "Then when did you enter Beijing?"
Liu Zhang said: "I also came to Beijing on the day when I was released."
Chen Jinchu nodded, bowed to Li Chuang and said, "Sir, why don't you check the directions of these people?" - According to Tianyuan's regulations, anyone entering the capital must be registered and checked, and the directions will be checked.
Li Chuang called to one of his subordinates and said, "Go get their road guide records."
Liu Meng immediately panicked, and Liu Jili was also at a loss.
Mrs. Liu Zhang knelt on the ground and said: "Sir, we ordinary people will never dare to talk nonsense in this court. She is indeed our daughter and son. She is living a good life now. In the Imperial Prefect's Mansion,
There is no magic bullet, and it is not difficult to remove scars. Besides, she was young at the time, and it might disappear automatically in two years."
Chen Jinchu had to look at Mrs. Liu Zhang with a high look. She was a country woman who had never read a book or even seen much of the world. However, she could grasp some details in the chaos of the court and hold on to them.
This is her ability to withstand scrutiny. No wonder she, a widow remarried, can still control people like Liu Jili.
Chen Jinchu said: "Whoever makes the claim must provide evidence. They are suing me, so they should provide evidence to prove that I am their daughter."
This was a professional habit from her previous life that couldn't help but come back to her, even the term "whoever claims to give evidence" came up.
Li Chuang clearly favored Chen Jinchu, but on the surface he was serious and said, "That's the truth. Liu Jili, do you have any other evidence?"
Liu Meng was unconvinced: "Sir, you are favoring her! Is it possible that our whole family will admit our mistake? She is my sister Liu Liang'er. Even though her clothes have changed, her appearance has not changed. We are not convinced by your decision of the case. So many people
Looking at it, they can’t believe it either.”
Li Chuang said angrily: "You are bold and unruly! You dare to despise and question your own official, you are cunning and arrogant, and you are lawless. This person is here. It's a big deal, and you must behave in an upright manner!"
Liu Meng became anxious: "Sir, ordinary people don't dare! Please forgive me, sir."
When Mrs. Liu and Zhang saw this, she hurriedly begged for mercy and knocked her head loudly.
Li Chuang said: "Execution."
After only three beatings, I heard a charming yet cold and arrogant voice say: "Li Chuang, you have so much authority! Is this how you decide the case? As long as you don't admit it, you will beat me?"
Chen Jin recognized this voice for the first time. It was Xia Nansheng!
Li Chuang hurried down the hall to greet him, ordered someone to bring a chair over, made a pot of good tea, and respectfully invited Xia Nansheng to take a seat.
Xia Nansheng sat down gracefully, and behind her stood the masked man Feng Jue.
