Chapter 293: The King of Shu has finished the trial)
After being scolded by Zhao Youcai, Qiao Qiqi burst into tears and did not dare to speak anymore.
Zhao Youcai continued to ask Butler Zhao: "Steward Zhao, I cannot just listen to your side of the story when deciding the case. I want to ask you, do you have any witnesses?"
Butler Zhao hurriedly said: "For the information of County Magistrate Zhao, yes, the villain has certification! When what happened, several women who worked with Qiao Qiqi can all testify for the villain."
Zhao Youcai asked the three of them: "You three are all witnesses. Now in front of everyone, tell us in detail what happened that day."
After Zhao Youcai finished speaking, the first woman immediately said: "County Magistrate Zhao, the young lady Qiao Qiqi who works with me, her parents are sick, and the family is in urgent need of money. That day, she stole ten strings from the warehouse.
She had the money on her body. But she was discovered by Butler Zhao, who stepped forward to grab her, but Qiao Qiqi resisted and scratched Butler Zhao's eye."
Hearing what this woman said, Qiao Qiqi looked at her in disbelief, trembling all over, and asked tremblingly: "Sixth Aunt, how can you slander me? I didn't steal the Zhao family's money, I didn't! You framed me like this,
Even if I become a ghost, I will never let you go!"
Being looked at by Qiao Qiqi with resentful eyes, the woman did not dare to look directly into Qiao Qiqi's eyes and looked a little panicked.
Snapped!
At this time, Zhao Youcai slammed down the gavel and shouted sternly: "Defendant, I have not asked you now, so you are not allowed to speak! If you do it again next time, don't blame me for slapping you on the basis of disrupting the trial!
"
After being scolded by Zhao Youcai again, Qiao Qiqi did not dare to speak.
But his teeth were biting his lower lip tightly, and a trace of blood flowed down.
What the other two women said was almost the same as what the first woman said.
After listening to the words of the three witnesses, the people watching the excitement suddenly started talking.
"It turns out this little lady really stole people's money!"
"Hey, she's so pitiful. Mother is sick. What will she do if she doesn't steal?"
"What a good girl, she turned out to be a thief, she really ruined her beauty!"
…
At this time, Zhao Youcai was stunned and shouted in a deep voice: "Quiet, quiet!"
Next, Zhao Youcai couldn't help but ask Qiao Qiqi: "People's daughter Qiao Qiqi, now that the witnesses and physical evidence are here, what else can you say?"
Qiao Qiqi cried loudly: "The people's daughter is wronged, the people's daughter is wronged, the people's daughter did not steal the Zhao family's money! It was the housekeeper Zhao who touched the people's daughter and had evil intentions, and the people's daughter resisted with all his strength, so he was scratched
His eyes were blinded! Ask the county magistrate for a clear warning!"
Snapped!
Zhao Youcai slapped the gavel and shouted sternly: "You are so bold and unruly, and you dare to deny it even if you have all the personal and material evidence! You don't need to be severely punished, and I'm sorry you won't confess! Come on, I'll beat the 20th Congress in court."
plate!"
boom!
As soon as I heard that there was going to be a fight, the place immediately became lively.
It turns out that if these ordinary people want to play paddle, they have to take off their clothes and expose their buttocks.
As for men, it's nothing.
But for women, even though the atmosphere was quite open at this time, it was also a great humiliation to do it in public.
In particular, there are hundreds or even thousands of people watching around now. If this is done in public, I am afraid that gossip will inevitably be inevitable in the future.
After hearing this punishment, Qiao Qiqi's face turned pale and she suddenly fell to the ground.
The two government officials strode forward without mercy and wanted to remove Qiao Qiqi's lower clothes.
The people watching around, especially the men, suddenly had their eyes widened, their mouths opened wide, and they were swallowing saliva from time to time.
Staring at the scene with interest!
This was the first time they had seen this kind of scene, and it was so exciting!
"Wait!"
At this moment, Li Min stood up and walked forward.
Seeing Li Min standing up, Zhao Youcai quickly stood up and asked humbly: "Grand Governor, what are your instructions?"
Li Min looked at Zhao Youcai with a half-smile, and then asked: "County Magistrate Zhao, is this how you try the case?"
Seeing Li Min look like this, Zhao Youcai felt a little guilty.
He knew very well what the truth was here.
But now, with the witnesses and physical evidence available, Zhao Youcai is confident that he has solved the case into a solid case, and Qiao Qiqi has no way of overturning the case.
Thinking of this, Zhao Youcai couldn't help but bite the bullet and said: "Grand Governor, in this case, there are witnesses and physical evidence. I don't know if the Grand Governor thinks it is unreasonable. Please give me your permission."
Li Min sneered and said: "You said that the physical evidence is there, but what about the physical evidence? Where is the physical evidence?"
Physical evidence?
The physical evidence is just ten dollars. Is it important if the evidence is not physical evidence?
Zhao Youcai had a look of confusion on his face, but he still said respectfully: "Yes, what the Governor said is absolutely true. The lower official was negligent. The lower official will send someone to get the physical evidence."
"Someone, go to Zhao's house and get the physical evidence!"
Li Min sneered and said: "County Magistrate Zhao, in this case, you said that there are witnesses and physical evidence, and the case is very clear. But I, the Governor, feel that there are many strange things in this case. I want to ask him face to face.
Plaintiff and witness, what do you think?"
Upon hearing Li Min's words, a hint of sarcasm flashed across Zhao Youcai's face, and he quickly said, "Just ask, sir."
But I was thinking that if you asked Qiao Qiqi, you might be able to ask something else.
But if you ask the accuser and the witness, these people have already talked to each other, so what can you ask?
Now that there are witnesses and physical evidence, I want to see what you, the Grand Governor, are capable of!
Li Min nodded and first asked the three witnesses: "Have you seen with your own eyes that Qiao Qiqi is holding her three-year-old sister in one hand and holding ten coins in her arms?"
When the Grand Governor glanced at them, the three women couldn't help but show panic on their faces.
However, after quietly glancing at Magistrate Zhao, the three women gritted their teeth and said, "Grand Governor, the daughter of the people has indeed seen it with her own eyes!"
Li Min asked again: "Listen carefully, you will be jailed for perjury! I will give you another chance. Are you sure that Qiao Qiqi stole ten pieces of money from the Zhao family?"
Finally, the three women gritted their teeth and said: "The Governor, the daughter of the people confirmed that it is indeed the case."
Li Min sneered, nodded and said, "Very good!"
Then, Li Min asked Butler Zhao: "Butler Zhao, let me ask you, where did Qiao Qiqi steal these ten coins?"
Being questioned by Li Min face to face, Butler Zhao was very stressed. Unconsciously, beads of sweat formed on his forehead.
