Chapter 54: The turmoil in the hall

One word shocked and angered everyone in the room.

Immediately inside and outside the courtroom, it was like a few drops of cold water poured into boiling oil. There was a roar and discussion. Some people pointed at Yu Baichi's back with anger, some gritted their teeth and clenched their fists, and some even said He threw the eggs and vegetables in his vegetable basket at the white-clothed figure in the courtroom with all his strength, and his mouth was full of obscene words greeting Yu Baichi's mother and his eighteen generations of ancestors.

If you want to say who the people of Yuecheng are most afraid of, it must be the city lord Shen Rong. And if you want to talk about who the people of Yuecheng hate the most, it must be one of the dog legs of the city lord's palace, Litigation King Yu Baichi.

Litigators originally wrote petitions for illiterate poor people. Even though litigants would take some cases of wealthy people and help them get away with their crimes, most of them still had some bottom line and would not take matters into their own hands. Going too far.

Yu Baichi, who passed the imperial examination in the fifth year of Tianqi, was only short of the final palace examination to pass the imperial examination and honor his ancestors. But for some unknown reason, he suddenly gave up his place in the palace examination and returned to Yuecheng to work as a small litigator.

At that time, a rape case happened to occur in Yuecheng. The victim was a woman selling cooking cakes, and the perpetrator was a servant in the city lord's palace. There were all witnesses and physical evidence, and the facts were clear. Everyone felt that the woman was the winner. With it under control, the bad guys will surely be punished.

The county magistrate at that time was not Liu Nai, but a young man who was even more upright than Liu Nai. Even though he was constantly threatened by the city lord's palace, he still worked diligently on official duties and tried every means to benefit the people of Yuecheng. Young County Magistrate After Ling learned of the grievance, he asked the woman to write a petition so that he could go to court to accept the case and seek justice for the woman.

It happened that when the illiterate woman was in trouble, Yu Baichi took the initiative to come to the door and expressed his willingness to write a petition for the woman and file a lawsuit for free. The woman was so grateful that she thought she had met a kind person, so she invited Yu Baichi to have a meal at her home. It was a simple meal, and it was this simple meal that ruined the originally iron-clad case.

The next day, the woman and Yu Baichi stood in the court together, and when she was about to complain to the young county magistrate, Yu Baichi suddenly transformed into a litigator for the servants of the city lord's palace, and falsely accused her of being an unclean prostitute. The day before, he had seduced Yu Baichi into the house to have sex.

The young county magistrate didn't believe what Yu Baichi said at all. He slapped him three times and shouted at the government officials to beat him up with sticks. However, Yu Baichi pretended to be a tribute and also found several villagers who lived near the woman. As a witness, the obscene clothes stolen from the woman's home were taken out as physical evidence.

Also, the presence of both witnesses and material evidence confirmed the woman's identity as a prostitute, turning the woman's rape case against the servants of the city lord's palace into a price dispute between the prostitute and her client, ending in a farce.

The woman was incomprehensible, left the government office in shame and anger amid gossip, returned home and made hundreds of cakes, and then hanged herself from a beam.

The young county magistrate wanted to find the woman and say some words of comfort, so he hurried to the woman's home, but he only saw a cold body and a table full of steaming pancakes. A mouthful of pancakes, a drop of blood and tears, the young county magistrate Ling left Yuecheng with hundreds of cooking cakes and the body of the woman, and went from the state capital to Kyoto. He bowed every ten steps and kowtowed every five steps, shouting that the emperor is holy, long live our emperor, and finally died in front of Xuanwu Gate. .

Since then, Yu Baichi's reputation has become so great that even the wealthy gentry in Qingshan City have hired him as a litigator to deal with those little troubles that come his way, which has made him the name of the king of litigants. Business is getting more and more popular, and Yu Baichi's actions

It's getting more and more extreme, and everyone in Moon City hates him to the core, but there's nothing they can do about it.

The people of Yuecheng finally waited for Liu Nai, the new county magistrate, hoping to suppress Yu Baichi's arrogance. However, within two days, news came out that Liu Nai was not accustomed to the climate and was seriously ill. Soon after, someone else

Claiming that Liu Nai did not know the local dialect, he wrote a self-government order and issued it, and then never showed up again. Only a few people heard some rumors and knew that Liu Nai's new official appointment had long been replaced by two gifts from the city lord.

He was extinguished and completely defeated by the lawsuit king Yu Baichi, so he could only avoid his sharp edge.

Liu Nai stared at the arrogant and proud Yu Baichi in the courtroom. The scene of hearing the old farmer's case came to mind again. He held the gavel tightly, his chest rose and fell violently, and the anger in his eyes seemed to burst out.

Yu Baichi shook the folding fan a few times, tilted the corner of his mouth, and said sarcastically, "Mr. Liu, after several years of not seeing each other, you don't recognize Yu anymore? You actually asked who made such nonsense, and insisted on telling me your name again.

, it’s really superfluous…”

Just when Liu Nai was about to rebuke, Shen Xiaojia took a step forward, spat on the ground, put one hand on his hips and pointed at Yu Baichi's nose with the other, saying, "What kind of green onion are you? Why should I remember you?"

But what you said just now is quite right, and it is indeed superfluous... You are the stinky fish who has the most! No one summoned you, so you came out to pretend and interject randomly, which is shameless! In court, when you see

I don’t kneel down because it’s rude! You, a shameless and rude bastard like you, should be beaten to death with sticks!”

Jiang Captou, who was standing aside, understood immediately, coughed heavily, hit the ground a few times with his cudgel, and said two words expressionlessly, "Mighty!"

"Who dares!" Yu Baichi puffed up his chest and looked around, "There is nothing unspeakable in the world. If you can do it, then I can say it! As for not kneeling... Yu is a tribute to Tianqi in the fifth year.

, once served as an assistant teacher at the Imperial College of the seventh rank, and his official position is higher than that of Liu Nai, he should kneel down to me!"

Liu Nai still patted the gavel in his hand and said coldly, "Don't mention that you once served as an assistant teacher in Taixue. Even if you are still a seventh-rank official, you still have to guard me, Liu Nai, in this hall.

The rules!”

"Oh!" Shen Rong, who was sitting on the left side of the courtroom, raised his eyebrows slightly and said in a strange tone, "Master Liu has such great authority! If you say so, wouldn't it mean that I have to kneel down and listen to your questions?

?”

Liu Nai was suddenly startled, forced out an ugly smile, and whispered, "Your Majesty the City Lord..."

"Hey! You little grandson didn't react until now!" Shen Xiaojia came to Shen Rong in two or two steps, lowered his head and looked down, and said with saliva, "I have long disliked you, a pig-headed Rong. As a criminal, not only

Instead of kneeling down to answer honestly, you still dare to sit next to the old man, pointing and pointing as if it has nothing to do with you... Do you really think that there is no law in this world? Or is it yours?

There is no king's law in my heart! I don't have the unparalleled emperor of Daqing in my eyes!"

Shen Rong did not dare to answer the second half of Shen Xiaojia's words, wiped the saliva on his face with his hand, and laughed angrily, "You dare to insult me? You..."

"What are you!" Shen Xiaojia bared his lower teeth and said, "The over and over again is just those bad tricks, murder and arson, greetings to your mother, greetings to your whole family, etc., the villain dramas that I have watched in my hometown. More than the salt you have ever eaten! Do you have any innovative spirit? When others are bad people, you are also a bad person, and you are so obviously bad and have such low taste, you are simply the scum, scum and parasite among the bad people!"

Shen Rong's eyes widened, and he pointed at Shen Xiaojia with trembling fingers, gasping for air, but could not say a word.

Yu Baichi closed the folding fan with a click, came to Shen Rong's side, stared at Shen Xiaojia with cold eyes, and said coldly, "Please be careful when you speak, your remarks just now constituted the crime of slander that insulted others without reason. According to Daqing Law Article 257, you should be slapped three hundred times!"

"You really can't stop eating shit, you always like to interrupt!" Shen Xiaojia turned to look at Yu Baichi, rolled his eyes and said, "When adults are talking to each other, what qualifications do you, a villain, have to add insult to injury! Believe it or not, I and you I just want to make you kneel down in the lobby right away if you just say a few gossips?"

Yu Baichi snorted contemptuously, pursed his lips, and coldly uttered two words, "Idiot!"

"You're the idiot! Your name is idiot. This is the first time I've seen someone act so aboveboard. It's really eye-opening... Since you don't believe it, I'll let you see your plastic friendship. How unreliable!" Shen Xiaojia sneered, leaned down, and whispered in Shen Rong's ear, "Lord City Lord, does the fairy stick I gave you earlier look good? In order to take special care of you, I specially added another one to it. Order something else, you can try your luck now to see if I'm lying to you..."

Shen Rong was startled, and immediately secretly performed some kind of breathing technique. Sure enough, he found that it was much more congested than usual, and several acupuncture points even ached faintly. His eyes widened with anger, and he was about to burst into thunder.

Shen Xiaojia gently patted Shen Rong's shoulder and said softly, "Okay, okay, I don't want to die. This is just a life-saving charm I prepared for myself in advance. As long as you don't mess around, after the case is heard, I will give you the antidote... Someone must kneel down in the lobby today, it’s up to you!"

Shen Rong clenched his fists tightly, his face turning green and red. He stared at Shen Xiaojia's face with vicious eyes for a few seconds, then slowly released his fists, closed his eyes and said in a deep voice, "Kneel down!"

Yu Baichi thought that Shen Rong was asking Shen Xiaojia to kneel down. With a sarcastic smile on his face, he tilted his head and said, "Did you hear that, the Lord of the City asked you to kneel down! I would like to remind you, kneel down quickly! Otherwise... from now on you will be I can’t even kneel down even if I want to!”

Shen Xiaojia sneered, glanced at Yu Baichi with a strange expression, hugged his arms and returned to the mute girl, shook his head and sighed, "What an idiot, I have to stay away, it will be bad if you are infected..." "

Shen Rong slapped Yu Baichi's face with his backhand and said sternly, "I asked you to kneel down! Do you really don't understand, or are you pretending not to understand? Don't you want me to ask someone to kneel down for you?" "

Yu Baichi was dumbfounded. He covered his red and swollen cheeks and looked at Shen Rong blankly. He was about to say something more, but saw that Shen Rong's face was getting more and more ugly. He immediately fell to his knees on the ground with a plop, his head hanging down, his eyes full of defeat. and resentment.

Shen Xiaojia glanced sideways at Yu Baichi and said calmly, "Remember how you feel now. When you bullied others in the past, others were even more ashamed and angry than you are now...Don't do to others what you don't want others to do to you. You don't even understand this principle.

Have all the books you read for so many years ended up in the dog’s belly?”

Suddenly, there was a roar of cheers inside and outside the courtroom, and some old, weak, women and children standing in a corner were even so happy that they secretly wiped away tears.

Liu Nai also let out a long breath of pent-up energy, feeling much smoother physically and mentally. Suddenly, he felt that the more he looked at Shen Xiaojia, the more pleasing to his eyes he was. He stroked his beard, blinked at Shen Xiaojia, patted the gavel gently, and cleared the air.

The voice said, "Someone just interrupted, let's continue now..."

At this moment, the mute girl who had been kneeling on the ground suddenly jumped up, took out the polished black iron scissors from her sleeves, stabbed Shen Xiaojia's vest with tears streaming down her face, and shouted two hateful words in a tearful voice.
