"Zhang Xiaozu, this is the criminal department hall where the three divisions will interrogate. It is not a martial arts arena where you shout and kill. I hope you can understand some rules."
Xu Zheng reminded Zhang Xiaozu with a straight face.
He had heard about Zhang Xiaozu's name and deeds, but he was very dissatisfied with Zhang Xiaozu's behavior.
To be precise, he is dissatisfied with all people in the world.
He felt that it was these martial arts people who shouted and killed at every turn without discipline or restraint, making the world lawless, chaotic, full of blood and killing.
Therefore, in his eyes, quacks are the source of trouble.
"Zhang Xiaozu has met all of you, sirs." Zhang Xiaozu bowed to Xu Zhengping and the others.
He felt that what Xu Zhengping said was right. This was the lobby of the Criminal Department where the three divisions would convene, and it was a place for reasoning and reasoning. Things should indeed be done according to the rules, so he gave up the idea of killing Shan Liangji for the time being.
Xu Zhengping did not worry about whether Zhang Xiaopeng should kneel or not. He patted the gavel and asked: "Zhang Xiaopeng, you are the one who wants to sue the uncle's government for murdering people's lives. Are you still forcing girls into prostitution?"
"Yes." Zhang Xiaozu responded.
"Is there any evidence?"
"Say." Zhang Xiaozu looked at Fang Chengyu and said.
Fang Chengyu immediately stated: "I'll tell you, sir, three years ago Shan Liangji, the martial arts leader of the uncle's house, came to Cao Min, showed Cao Min a roster, and asked Cao Min if there was any girl he liked -"
"Nonsense!" Shan Liangji interrupted Fang Chengyu with an angry shout, denying: "Sir, the grassroots have never had any roster, so it is impossible to show it to him. He is talking nonsense and slandering the grassroots.
.”
Fang Chengyu became anxious when he heard this. He immediately pointed at Shan Liangji and cursed angrily: "Shan Liangji, do you fucking dare to do it but not admit it?"
Snapped!
Xu Zhengping patted the gavel and shouted: "Quiet!"
"mighty--"
The government officials immediately shouted with authority, intimidating the two people who were noisy together.
"Shan Liangji, I have not asked you to speak, so you are not allowed to interfere in the courtroom without interrupting." Xu Zhengping shouted.
"yes."
"Fang Chengyu, go on."
"The grassroots took a photo of a girl named Zhao Yue'e in the roster that Shan Liangji showed to the grassroots——"
With Xu Zhengping's warning, Shan Liangji did not dare to interrupt anymore, and Fang Chengyu stated the matter in a moment.
"Shan Liangji, what do you have to say?" Xu Zhengping looked at Shan Liangji.
"Reporting to your lord, the common people have four points to say.
First, the roster is completely fictitious and was fabricated by Fang Chengyu.
Secondly, Zhao Laosi did borrow money from Guojiu's Mansion, but Guojiu's Mansion never asked him what he borrowed the money for, so the plan to frame him for the restaurant's collapse was also Fang Chengyu's slander.
Third, Zhao Laosi and his wife were indeed killed by the evil slaves of Guojiu's Mansion, but it was not at the instigation of Guojiu's Mansion, but the evil slaves relied on the reputation of Guojiu's Mansion to do evil outside. When Guojiu knew about it, he was furious.
, the evil slave was sentenced to death using family law that day.
Zhang Xiaozu happened to be at the scene at that time, and he also expressed his admiration and praise for Uncle Guo's hatred of evil and selfless behavior.
Fourth, Cao Min did promise that Zhang Xiaozhu would take good care of Zhao Yue'e, but Zhao Yue'e was mentally traumatized after losing her parents, and her mind alternated between madness and sanity.
She ran away when she fell ill and went crazy. The grassroots people have been sending people to look for her, but they have not been found yet.
Let me ask you, if the common people haven't even found Zhao Yue'e, how can they sell her?
Therefore, Fang Chengyu is talking nonsense, framed and slandered by ordinary people."
Shan Liangji avoids the important and takes the easy, pushing four, five, and six.
Fang Chengyu's nose was so angry that he immediately took out Zhao Yue'e's deed of sale from his arms and shouted to Xu Zhengping: "Sir, the common people have Zhao Yue'e's deed of sale, and it has the seal of the uncle's palace on it."
"Send it up." Xu Zhengping said.
The yamen servant immediately stepped forward and took Zhao Yue'e's deed of sale from Fang Chengyu and presented it to Xu Zhengping.
Xu Zhengping held Zhao Yue'e's sale deed in his hand and looked at it carefully for a while, then handed it to Tan Yuanji and Situ Wen. After both of them had read it, he looked at Shan Liangji and asked: "Shan Liangji, what do you think of this sale deed?"
What's your explanation?"
Zhang Xiaozu noticed that Shan Liangji's expression was not panicked at all, and he couldn't help frowning, knowing that Shan Liangji must have already thought of a countermeasure.
He said nothing, wanting to see how Shan Liangji turned white into black.
"Sir, can you show Zhao Yue'e's deed of sale to the common people?" Shan Liangji asked.
These were all things he had expected, so he responded with confidence.
Xu Zhengping nodded and asked the yamen servant to show Zhao Yue'e's deed of sale to Shan Liangji.
Shan Liangji held Zhao Yue'e's deed of sale and pretended to look at it carefully for a while, then suddenly made an unexpected discovery and exclaimed loudly: "Sir, this deed of sale is fake."
"Shan Liangji, your acting is a bit exaggerated." Zhang Xiaozu looked at Shan Liangji's pretentious and exaggerated movements and couldn't help being amused by him.
He knew that this was Shan Liangji's confidence in not panicking, and Zhao Yue'e's prostitution contract must be fake.
"——" A black line appeared on Shan Liangji's forehead.
"How did you know it was fake?" Xu Zhengping asked.
Shan Liangji took out a bill from his arms and said: "Sir, here is a bill stamped with the seal of the uncle's house. Your Excellency, please compare the seal on this bill with the seal on this deed of sale and you will know."
."
Xu Zhengping followed what Shan Liangji said, and after careful comparison, he found that there was a slight difference between the two seals.
Then he handed the bill and the deed of sale to Tan Yuanji and Situ Wen, and said what he discovered: "At the end of this stroke, one is lifting up, and the other is pressing down, which is obviously different."
After reading it, Tan Yuanji said: "Even if this deed of sale is fake, it does not prove that the uncle's house is innocent. Maybe the deed of sale was forged by the uncle's house itself."
"It still needs to be investigated carefully," Situ Wen said.
"The Qing Dynasty will be Qing Dynasty by itself. The grassroots people sincerely ask you to investigate carefully and return the uncle's house to a clean reputation." Shan Liangji said loudly.
Zhang Xiaozu snorted coldly, knowing that Shan Liangji had already made a foolproof plan, and I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to find anything if he checked carefully.
Xu Zhengping looked at Zhang Xiaozu and asked: "Zhang Xiaozu, do you have any other evidence besides this?"
"There are still six domestic slaves from the uncle's house, and they are all willing to testify against the numerous crimes committed by the uncle's house." Zhang Xiaozhu said.
"Can these six servants wait outside the hall?" Xu Zhengping asked.
"Outside the hall."
"Bring it up."
The six slaves of Guojiu's Mansion were immediately taken to the lobby. After bowing in the hall, Xu Zhengping asked: "Are you six going to testify against the crimes of Guojiu's Mansion?"
"Master Qingtian, we were tortured by Zhang Xiaopeng. We had to succumb to his power and slander the uncle's house. Please tell me, Master Qingtian!"
"It was Zhang Xiaozu who forced us."
When the six people saw Shan Liangji, they immediately felt confident and retracted their confessions in court, denying what they had said in Dali Temple.
Shan Liangji grinned.
Zhang Xiaopou was also happy and said with a smile: "I have given you a way to survive, but you have to find a way to die. It seems that your names have been hooked by the king of hell who wants your life."
"Master, listen, he started threatening us again."
"We would rather die than surrender!"
"Please, Mr. Qingtian, make the decision for us!"
Xu Zhengping patted the gavel tree, suppressed the noisy voice, looked at Zhang Xiaozu and asked: "Zhang Xiaozu, they said that you tortured them and forced them to slander the uncle's house. Is this true?"
"Just think of it, it doesn't matter anymore." Zhang Xiaozu said.
Xu Zhengping couldn't help but frown when he heard this. He felt the change in Zhang Xiaopou's aura and guessed that he would most likely use Jianghu methods to deal with this matter again.
"Zhang Xiaozu, using violence to fight violence is not a good way to solve the problem. Having laws to follow and acting in accordance with the laws are what the people need and the foundation of the empire." Xu Zhengping advised.
Zhang Xiaozu nodded and said nothing.
He admitted that what Xu Zhengping said was right, but for those who stood outside the law and did evil, there was no other way but to fight violence with violence.
Shan Liangji raised his lips proudly, feeling that he had won this round.
Xu Zhengping asked the yamen to take the six domestic slaves from the uncle's house down, and then asked Zhang Xiaopou: "Do you have any other evidence?"
"There are, but I have to wait until the trial of the Xiangyang Village Massacre Case is over before I say anything else," Zhang Xiaozu replied.
"Why?" Xu Zhengping asked with a frown.
"Because - this evidence is also related to the Xiangyang Village case." Zhang Xiaozhu said.
He didn't have any evidence, but he just wanted to use force to solve the problem if the Xiangyang Village case failed to come to a conclusion.
Although violent, it is very useful.
"Then you should leave the court for now. I will let you go to court after the trial of the Xiangyang Village case is completed." Xu Zhengping said.
"No, I want to hear the trial in court." Zhang Xiaozu shook his head.
"you--"
"Master Xu, it's okay to let him listen." Tan Yuanji interrupted Xu Zhengping who was about to get angry.
