When Wang Fuguang saw Liu Chen arriving, his face turned red with anger and he shouted: "Okay! I didn't expect you to be so courageous and dare to come to the Yamen. I'll beat you to death!"
Before he finished speaking, he rushed forward to fight Liu Chen desperately.
Du Ning quickly slapped the gavel on the wall and shouted coldly: "You must not be arrogant in court!"
At the same time, a burst of literary courage emitted, like a thunder that exploded in Wang Fuguang's ears.
"Lord Zhou Mu, he is the one who killed our young master of the Wang family. Killing to pay for life and debts to pay back money are the rules since ancient times."
"Please punish the prisoner Liu Chenming immediately!"
"Liu Chen, your death is imminent, we must make you pay with your life!"
The other Wang family members looked at Liu Chen with murderous intent in their eyes.
Liu Chen held a short knife and saluted Du Ning and said: "Student Liu Chen pays homage to Du Jun and asks Du Jun to make the decision for the student."
"Joke!"
Wang Fuguang shouted: "You killed my son and still want Du Jun to make the decision for you. Who do you think you are? Who do you think you are?"
Liu Chen responded without hesitation: "Wang Shuo made the first move, can't I fight back?"
"Presumptuous!"
Wang Fuguang said angrily: "Even if Wang Shuo strikes first, you can't kill him!"
"He wanted to kill me first!" Liu Chen shouted with red eyes.
"You're talking nonsense!" Wang Fuguang gritted his teeth.
"Quiet!"
Du Ning shouted coldly, "I will try the case in court. If anyone dares to talk too much, I can only ask you to withdraw from the court and retry the case another day."
Everyone closed their mouths and looked at Du Ning with very strange eyes. If it were in the past, they would definitely have issued a warning with a sign, but Du Ning actually threatened to set a date for the trial. Who would agree to this? p>
Some Legalist scholars changed their minds one after another, and made both parties shut up in unison without using any punishment, achieving the same effect of using punishment as a warning. Doesn't this secretly tell Legalist scholars that punishment and warning are too redundant?
"Bang!"
Du Ning was stunned and said: "Liu Chen, please tell me the cause of the matter first. No matter it is true or false, right or wrong, no one is allowed to interrupt, otherwise I will be imprisoned for obstructing official business."
Others once again showed a strange look. Being detained in jail is a punishment, not a punishment with a torture device. But for a person, as long as he has been in a jail, it is a stain on life, and there will definitely be people pointing fingers behind his back.
Click.
"Students obey orders."
Liu Chen said: "The thing is like this, the student has problems with Wang Shuo on weekdays. Wang Shuo comes from a prominent family, and the student is from a poor family. Wang Shuo often uses his status as a distinguished family to bully the students, and even beats the students, but the students do not dare to offend.
Wang Shuo, the students who usually fight have always tolerated it, but today, the students really couldn't bear it anymore."
Just as Liu Chen was speaking, three officials in the court immediately started writing and recorded every word Liu Chen said in detail.
This is what Du Ning asked the officials to do. When hearing the case, three officials should record their testimony at the same time, which is called a transcript.
"Today, students were discussing the "New Laws of China" promulgated by Du Jun with many classmates. Wang Shuo came up with a burst of cynicism. The students replied with a few reasonable words. Wang Shuo, who became angry and angry, immediately yelled at the students and cursed him. His words were extremely unpleasant." p>
"The students tolerated it again and again, but Wang Shuo still did not let the students go and continued to insult them. Not only did he greet the students' families, but even their ancestors..."
"The student was really angry, so he scolded Wang Shuo. Wang Shuo became even more angry. Not only did he touch the student, but he also threatened to kill me with a knife..."
"Nonsense..."
Just as Wang Fuguang was about to shout loudly, Du Ning made a "bang" sound and was stunned: "Invite Wang Fuguang to jail and retry the case at a later date."
"Master Du Jun, please forgive me. Wang knows his mistake. Please give Wang a chance."
Wang Fuguang apologized hurriedly. The case had already happened, so it was best to settle it today. He wanted to cut Liu Chen into pieces and never wanted Liu Chen to live another day.
"Liu Chen, keep talking." Du Ning said.
"Yes."
Liu Chen continued: "At that time, the student was also very angry, so he yelled, 'If you have the ability, try to chop me down.' Who knew that Wang Shuo without saying a word pulled out the saber from his waist and slashed at the student, and the student wanted to
To live is to risk one's life. I reluctantly grabbed the dagger and killed Wang Shuo. Sir, please see, the blood stains on the student's body are not all Wang Shuo's blood. There are also scars where the student was hit by the dagger. It is not the student who wants to kill Wang Shuo, but me.
If we don’t kill Wang Shuo, the students will be killed by Wang Shuo!”
After saying that, he untied his coat and could see that Liu Chen had many bandages on his body. After killing Wang Shuo, he went to a nearby medical center for treatment.
There is a clear rule in the liberal arts academy that no bladed objects are allowed, but many scholars from aristocratic families carry short knives with them, and over time they turn a blind eye.
"Medical officer, check the injuries." Du Ning ordered.
"Yes."
An official immediately stood up and examined the wounds on Liu Chen's body.
Many people outside are also talking about it.
"You have never seen it with your own eyes! At that time, Wang Shuo slashed at Liu Chen three times. If Liu Chen hadn't reacted quickly, Liu Chen would have died long ago."
"Liu Chen is a good boy. He respects his elders, is filial to his parents, and will never do anything harmful to nature. If Wang Shuo hadn't drawn a knife to kill someone, Liu Chen would not have grabbed the knife and killed Wang Shuo."
"Poor child, his life is miserable!"
Hearing what many people said, Wang Fuguang and others were furious, but they did not dare to say anything more.
Not long after, the medical officer's examination came back with results, and he said to Du Ning: "Sir, Liu Chen has multiple stab wounds on his body. The knife penetrated three-thirds of the flesh, and another knife was stabbed next to the heart. Although this knife
It wasn’t very heavy, but it almost killed Liu Chen.”
Upon hearing this appraisal, the expressions of Wang Fuguang and others became very pale. This is tantamount to Wang Shuo's attempted murder!
Liu Chen and Wang Shuo were both top-notch boys who already had talent and strength in their bodies. In addition, they had used the best wound medicine. If not for this, it would have been impossible for Liu Chen to take the initiative to surrender to the Yamen after bandaging his wounds.
"Is the short knife in your hand the same knife that Wang Shuo carries with him?" Du Ning asked.
"Yes." Liu Chen replied.
"Come here, check the knife and the scabbard on the body."
"Yes."
The officer immediately took action and compared the murder weapon in Liu Chen's hand with the scabbard on Wang Shuo's waist, and they found they matched.
"Sir, this knife and the scabbard are indeed the same."
After the officer finished speaking, he handed the knife and scabbard to Du Ning for inspection.
After Du Ning inspected them, he nodded slightly: "That's right! They are indeed a pair, and there is a 'king' mark on the handle and scabbard."
