On May 21st, the tenth year of Orthodoxy, the sun shines brightly in the sky.
At this moment, behind the Yingtian Mansion, Hu Jinan received the "summons" from the prosecutor's office and was changing clothes to prepare for court.
He has taken care of everything in the yamen. All the officials involved in this matter will insist that they are investigating the case normally and there is no such thing as threatening money.
"Master, the inspector is urging me again. Look"
Half an hour has passed since the scheduled opening time, but Hu Jinan has not left the house yet.
"Why are you in a hurry? Let them dry out first."
Having said that, you still have to go after all. Otherwise, you will be contemptuous of the inspection department and the prince's order.
After another ten minutes of delay, Hu Jinan took a small sedan and leisurely went to the inspection department.
Because it was a joint trial today, extra people were present, including the chief envoy and the patrol censor. Some local dignitaries and famous gentry were also invited to attend. Of course, the common people were also allowed to attend.
Hu Jinan did not arrive after the deadline, so everyone waited in vain for more than half an hour. There were already people whispering at the scene.
Xue Pan, as a party involved, was talking to the litigant at the moment. He was very worried that the lawsuit would be settled.
Also involved was Feng Yuan, who was brought forward by the prosecutor. At this moment, he was covered in cuts and bruises and looked haggard. It was obvious that he had suffered inhuman torture for half a month.
But at this moment, there was light in his eyes, just because he saw the hope of survival.
Of course, his mood was very complicated at the moment, especially when he saw Xue Pan not far away.
This man almost beat him to death. This man caused him to be unjustly tortured, but he also rescued himself from prison.
What makes Feng Yuan feel strange is that Xue Pan not only rescued him, but also risked the disapproval of the world to sue Hu Jinan to the Ancha Division.
"Come on, come on"
The shouts from outside cheered up the officials sitting in the lobby.
The person sitting on the main seat is He Gujin, the envoy of the Inspection Division. On the left and right are Zheng Xianlin and Zhao Xuyan. Next down are the deputy envoy of the Inspection Division and the chief envoy to participate in politics, as well as Yingtianzhi Jia Yucun.
It can be said that most of the high-ranking officials on the ground in Jinling are here.
Soon, Hu Jinan entered the yamen, first greeted the gentry family at the door, and then walked into the lobby.
Putting his head high and his chest high, he passed by Xue Pan and others. Hu Jinan stood in the lobby with his head high and his chest high, and greeted all the officials.
With a "pop" sound, He Gujin clapped the gavel, signaling the official start of the trial.
"Plaintiff Xue Pan, do you have any evidence to accuse Hu Jinan of coercing good people and extorting money?" He Gujin asked solemnly.
"Sir, what evidence do we need? Look at the scars on Feng Yuan's body. This is not obvious."
After saying this, Xue Pan asked Feng Yuan With a wild wink, the latter supported his injured body and immediately answered, "Sir, the common people were imprisoned in the Yingtian Mansion Prison and tortured many times by Hu Jin'an. Want toBlackmail my family's money."
"Fortunately, the villain would rather die than surrender, so I couldn't let him succeed."
Hearing this, the lobby was very quiet, and the officials, big and small, were all calm, but outside The gentry and the common people all started talking.
Everyone knew what was going on in the government, so most people believed what Xue Pan said was true.
"Hu Jin'an, you have it. "What to say?" He Gujin asked.
"Your Majesty, what these two people have just said is all slander and frame-up of the humble position."
"As we all know, the humble position should be the official responsible for the trial. In this case, it is normal to use punishment on criminals."
Turn around, Hu Jinan looked at Xue Pan and others with disdain and said, "If these two people are allowed to conspire to frame the case, I'm afraid the government will not be able to judge the case."
In this era, it was common to use torture to extract confessions, so it was impossible to determine the right and wrong based on Feng Yuan's injuries.
Just when Xue Pan wanted the lawyer to defend himself, he saw Hu Jinan. He took out a document from his sleeve and said, "Your Majesty, the Inspector, I will also file a complaint today. Xue Pan and Feng Yuan conspired together to slander the imperial officials. This is a complaint against me."
Seeing Hu Jinan slap him down. , this made Feng Yuan so angry that he vomited blood.
As He Gujin received the complaint, Qian Ruiming and Liu Deyan who were sitting below smiled at each other and looked at Hu Jinan. He cast an affirmative look.
The complaint actually had nothing to read. He Gujin remained silent as he was thinking about what to do next.
Zhu Jinghong meant a lot. It is clear that the purpose is to catch Hu Jinan as a model to shock the entire Jinling officialdom.
The trial is nothing more than physical evidence. Feng Yuan's injuries are "material evidence", but after Hu Jinan's explanation, there is no proof at this time. Value.
Now, the only person who can commit the crime is the witness.
Fortunately, He Gujin has a plan.
, pass on the witness”
Hu Jinan did not panic at all after hearing the witness.
All the officials involved in the matter were greeted. When these people arrive, they will only prove that Xue Feng Er If the person is found guilty, the case may be closed by then.
However, it took half an hour for the so-called witness to be brought to the lobby.
Hu Jinan was brought to the lobby. Surprisingly, those who were brought were not officials from the government office, but several criminals.
Liu Deyan, the official of the Chasi Bureau, looked at He Gujin and asked, "Sir, how can you be brought to court if you don't have a passing certificate?" Some people are here."
Glancing at Liu Deyan, He Gujin asked coldly, "Should I interrogate or you?"
Liu Deyan had no choice but to give up, secretly sighing that he was too anxious.
"Hu Jin'an, do you know these people?"
After looking at these prisoners up and down, Hu Jin'an leaned forward and said, "Reporting to the Lord, they look familiar, but I can't remember them at the moment."
Because he couldn't remember, Hu Jinan was a little nervous at the moment, fearing that these people were really a killer.
"Master Hu is really a killer.It’s noble people who forget things. These are the prisoners of your Yingtian Mansion. How could you not remember them?” He Gujin asked in a deep voice.
After his reminder, Hu Jinan understood and asked He said, "The witnesses your Excellency refers to are these people."
Hu Jinan was a little panicked at this moment. He only focused on taking care of the officials, but forgot about these people in the prison.
"They have been in prison. It is clear what happened in there."
Before Hu Jinan could speak, He Gujin took another picture of the prison, and then asked, "You Listen carefully, you must answer truthfully when asked by this officer, otherwise you will be severely punished."
The interrogation by more than a dozen officials in the front is really shocking. The prisoners present are extremely frightened, how dare they Don't reply seriously.
"Is there any inside story about Feng Yuan being tortured?"
"Reply" He Gujin emphasized his tone.
A group of prisoners looked at each other, but no one dared to speak, just because Hu Jinan was looking at them coldly.
Do they know who Hu Jinan is? Officer, they dared to identify him.
"Hurry up and say it!" He Gujin was a little angry.
In fact, he had miscalculated. He didn't expect these people to be so cowardly. p>
It can only be said that he has been an official for a long time and has become out of touch with the people at the bottom. The two worlds are completely different.
"Reply" He Gujin is becoming more and more strict.
However, it was of no use. It only scared the prisoners into begging for mercy and shouting that they knew nothing.
Hu Jinan smiled. At this moment, he was no longer worried. He had many years of criminal experience. I know that this case can no longer be tried.
Then it will be time for him to fight back.
"Master He, it seems that the case no longer needs to be tried, Mr. Hu." "Innocent" Liu Deyan spoke again.
Qian Ruiming on the side immediately answered, "I think it was Feng Yuan who tricked the Xue family's elder brother into filing a complaint. This person is the culprit."
They It has been discussed in advance that Xue Pan will be removed from the case, and all the charges will be placed on Feng Yuan. This is good for you, good for me, and good for everyone.
