Because Long Chuxia was now in a very embarrassed state, with her hair messy and covering half of her face, Master Shangshu couldn't recognize her for a while. He only saw injuries on her feet and wondered if she had been tortured in prison earlier.
The fourth child's head was bandaged, and there were specks of blood seeping out, and he couldn't help but darken his face immediately.
Although Mr. Chen knew that both of them were injured, he did not expect that the injuries were so serious. He panicked and feared that the plan would be ruined, so he quickly slapped the wooden door and said: "Yuan Xiaocui has injuries on his feet. You can save yourself from kneeling down. Come here.
She brings a chair!”
Xie Laosi was also injured. He only did not have to kneel, but he had to stand and await trial.
Mr. Chen asked Mr. Xie, "As for your arrest of Sun Xiushan, you must state all the facts in front of the court. You are not allowed to conceal anything or lie in the slightest!"
Xie Laosi said: "Sir, it's like this. Yuan Xiaocui has known Cao Min for a long time. She is indeed a brothel girl, but she and Cao Min have mutual affection, so Cao Min works hard to make money and redeems her life. Who would have expected that Sun Xiushan knew that Cao Min was Xiao Cui?
He wanted to redeem his life, but still forcefully took Xiao Cui back to be his concubine. After learning about it, the grassroots rushed to Sun's house and found that he was forcing Xiao Cui to worship him. Xiao Cui refused to give in, so he tied her up with a rope and beat her severely.
Cao Min got angry, so he rushed in, beat him up, and took Xiao Cui away. But Cao Min can guarantee that when Cao Min left, he was still conscious, and he stood up and led people to chase after Cao Min. He later fell into a coma, but
It has absolutely nothing to do with grassroots people!”
Mr. Chen said in a solemn voice, "You said that after you beat him, he stood up and led his men to chase you, right? But as far as I know, you knocked him to the ground that night, and he never got up again.
Did you lie when you vomited blood and fell unconscious that night?"
Xie Laosi hurriedly waved his hands and said hurriedly: "No, sir, the common man did not lie. He really got up and chased the common man, and many servants in the Sun Mansion can testify."
"Pass on Sun Xiushan!" Mr. Chen said with a slap in the face.
After a while, I saw a frail young man being carried up. He was sitting in a carriage with a pale face. When he saw Xie Laosi, he suddenly said excitedly: "That's him. He rushed in and beat him for no reason."
He gave me a meal and walked away."
Xie Laosi said angrily: "Are you talking nonsense? I rushed in and beat you for no reason? If you hadn't robbed Xiaocui, I wouldn't even bother to beat you, the second generation ancestor!"
Mr. Chen said angrily: "Thank you, Fourth Man, I didn't ask you, and you are not allowed to interrupt. I will tolerate you this time. If you do it next time, I will slap you thirty times!"
Xie Laosi had no choice but to shut up and stare at Mr. Sun fiercely.
Master Shangshu looked at the scene in front of him thoughtfully. Judging from the appearance, Mr. Sun is also a weak scholar, while Xie Laosi is a member of the market, with a bit of a bully attitude. Just looking at appearance is just a kind of prejudice. It depends on
The truth of the whole matter still needs to be judged from various confessions and evidence.
Mr. Chen said to Sun Xiushan: "Sun Xiushan, please tell me the cause and effect, why Yuan Xiaocui is in your house, and why Xie Laosi broke into Sun's house and beat you up."
Sun Xiushan glanced at Xie Laosi sadly, covered his chest and said weakly: "Sir, this matter starts more than a month ago. More than a month ago, I saw Yuan Xiaocui being robbed in Guanyin Mountain, so I
I ordered my servants to rescue her, but who knew that Yuan Xiaocui actually fell in love with me at first sight, came to my house several times to greet me, and said that she wanted to marry me. I already had a wife and concubines, and I didn’t want to marry again, so I ordered my servants to send her away.
Unexpectedly, she didn't give up and went to my father, saying that she and I had already made an appointment between Qin and Jin, but due to the family tradition, she could not marry into my Sun family. When my father came back, he blamed me, saying that I had always been in trouble and had given up.
At that time, I found out that Yuan Xiaocui turned out to be a brothel girl. I had never been to those places, so how could I know the methods of a brothel girl? I saw her sincere and pitiful feelings, and she waited for me outside my house for half a month.
This friendship touched me, and I agreed to marry her as my concubine. She also said that she didn’t mind being a concubine, as long as she could stay by my side, not to mention being a concubine, it didn’t matter even if she was a girl. So, my father gave me some money.
I went to redeem her body, which was the first time I set foot in a brothel. Unexpectedly, she hid me from the old madam and asked another man to redeem her body. She cried pitifully at the time, saying that she did not want to marry a butcher no matter what.
I had seen Mr. Xie, who was ugly in appearance and vulgar in temperament. I was afraid that Xiaocui would suffer if he followed him, so I refused to let Xiaocui go with him. I took her back to my house and ordered the madam to return the money.
Unexpectedly, on the night that Xiaocui and I got married, Xie Laosi came to my house. Because many of the servants in the house were drunk, he sneaked in unprepared. He entered the new house and treated me like
After a severe beating, Yuan Xiaocui was dragged away and all the valuable gold and silver jewelry in the new house were taken away. Later, the servants accounted for the gold and silver jewelry that disappeared that day, and the total value of the gold and silver jewelry was three thousand taels."
Mr. Chen said: "Is there any witness to what you said?"
Sun Xiushan said righteously: "Sir, the madam and servants have testified, and my neighbor can also prove that Yuan Xiaocui is indeed waiting in front of my house every day."
"The witness, Madam, comes to court!" Mr. Chen patted the gavel and said loudly
All the witnesses' confessions point to Xie Laosi. In short, the whole thing shows that Sun Xiushan is a poor man who was innocently deceived and beaten, while Xie Laosi is a market bully who beats and robs people.
Long Chuxia was listening to the story leisurely, watching how Sun Xiushan fabricated and told the truth. If she hadn't gone to see Yuan Xiaocui, she might have thought that what Sun Xiushan said was true. The witness had obviously been bribed, and although Sun Xiushan said
It was full of tears, but every sentence was full of loopholes. In the palace of a dignified minister, a brothel girl could wait for a few days to win the affection of Mr. Sun, and then be married into the house. Do you think it was filmed in "The Gate of the Grand Mansion"?
"Yuan Xiaocui!" Just when Long Chuxia felt funny, Mr. Chen gave a surprise, which shocked Long Chuxia. She looked at Mr. Chen and deliberately ignored him.
"Yuan Xiaocui, I want to ask you..." Before Mr. Chen could finish speaking, Sun Xiushan said loudly: "Sir, she is not Yuan Xiaocui, she is fake!"
The old bustard also said: "Sir, she is not Xiaocui!"
Everyone in the hall was shocked, Master Chen said angrily: "Captain Li, what on earth is going on?"
The Zhengqi agent came out quickly, with a calm face, and said: "When this person was arrested, Xie Laosi also said that she was not Yuan Xiaocui, but she herself has never denied it. Since she was captured, she has been suffering from injuries and illnesses. I asked for a confession.
She was also very cooperative, so the lower-ranking officials never doubted her identity."
"My lady, who are you?" Mr. Chen slapped the crowd and asked angrily.
Lord Shangshu looked over curiously, who could even pretend to be a prisoner? At this sight, he was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly took a closer look. Although Long Chuxia now had messy hair and was wearing a shabby prison uniform, he
Still recognized it at a glance
Isn't this the girl Long who made the emperor anxious and angry? He was startled in court, but thinking that there must be a reason for Miss Long's behavior, he called the people behind him and whispered something in his ear.
