Faced with Xu Fan's accusation, Lin Xuran snorted coldly and said righteously: "One side is a profit-oriented businessman, and the other side is thirteen honest and honest people from the Ming Dynasty. Which side do you think this official should favor?"

If this kind of thing is placed, Lin Qingran may have to stand opposite to the squire, but when he said this in the capital, few people dared to accuse him of something wrong.

At least the scholars and the people in the hall did not think that Lin Weiran had any problems. Although there were witnesses on both sides, they naturally had to favor Zeng Aniu and other villagers, rather than a merchant.

Xu Fan was speechless when he was refuted. Only then did he realize that this kid was very eloquent and knew how to judge the situation.

"Come on, be punished!"

Lin Xuran had already made up his mind, and immediately ordered.

"No! No!"

When Mr. Xu arrived at this time, he felt the situation was serious. He also thought of what happened just now, so he begged for mercy in panic.

Two yamen came forward and skillfully held his neck, making him crawl on the ground and unable to move. The other two yamen took off their pants, swung the board high, and hit the butt heavily.

The sound seemed to be snapping.

"I'm wronged!"

Mr. Xu's butt was beaten so hard that he was flying, but he still gritted his teeth and cried out injustice.

Lin Xu could hold on as he watched the twenty-fourth boards go down, and knew that this officer would not confess so easily. However, he did not expect Mr. Xu to confess so easily. After all, compared with the beheading, this punishment was also fine.

What's it?

Seeing that the heat was almost the same, he raised his hand to stop the squad from continuing to execute the execution, but asked coldly: "You said you were wronged, and they had no grudges and grudges with you. How could you wronged you? Isn't it ridiculous?"

"They... they must have been wronged by my brother-in-law He Jiu who beat their tribe to death!" Xu Yuanwai was beaten very hard, and followed the thoughts given by Lin Qingran, and his eyes immediately lit up.

"Xu Er... Dafa, what are you talking about?" Xu Fan immediately became furious and looked at Xu Yuanwai in disbelief and scolded angrily.

It turns out they have old grudges!

The scholars and the people in the hall heard this and did not understand why Xu Fan was furious, but things undoubtedly became complicated.

Although the testimony of Zeng Aniu and other villagers is more credible, Zeng Aniu and others have personal grudges with Xu Yuanwai, but it is difficult to guarantee that Zeng Aniu and others are suspected of frame-up.

Lin Weiran's mouth raised slightly, and he looked at Xu Fan calmly and said, "Xu Shaoqing, this He Jiu is your Xu family's slave!"

Mr. Xu seemed to realize something, and closed his eyes regretfully at this moment.

"What do you mean?" A chill surged in Xu Fan's heart and looked at Lin Qianran viciously and responded half threateningly.

Lin Weiran's eyes were fearless, but he smiled and said, "If it weren't for Mr. Xu, the minister of this mansion would have almost forgotten. Zeng Aniu and others went to Beijing to file a lawsuit against you, the servant He Jiu, of the Xu family.

Due to land disputes, their tribe members were beaten to death. Has this happened?"

"There is no such thing. It's all these unruly people who slander my Xu family!" Xu Fan waved his hand and immediately denied loudly.

The scholars and the people in the hall had already made a judgment in their hearts when they saw this scene.

If Xu Fan had denied it before, they might not know who they were biased towards, but now Xu Yuanwai has admitted it. The matter is probably just as Zeng Aniu and others said, the evil slaves of the Xu family really killed people.

For a moment, everyone's key point was not Xu Yuanwai's real identity, but whether the Xu family's slaves really killed someone.

Bang!

Lin Weiran slapped the agglomeration, looked at Xu Yuanwai who was crawling on the ground, and made a loud verdict: "After Zeng Aniu and thirteen villagers identified, Xu Yuanwai was the murderer Xu Dafa in the past, and this case was already evidence.

Confirm, but Liu Yuanwai, a Beijing cargo merchant, provided protection for Xu Yuanwai, so our government adhered to the principle of "not being wronged by a good person or not letting a bad person go", and sent personnel to Huating County today to verify the matter! Xu Yuanwai continued

The prison will be held and the verdict will be announced at a later date!"

If Lin Qingran had to continue to imprison Xu Yuanwai before today, he would definitely face the condemnation of the scholars in the capital.

However, when the case has developed to this point, everyone listened to this decision and nodded in recognition.

Both parties have witnesses in this case, so it is indeed not appropriate to make a final decision. There are undoubtedly many doubts in the matter now. It is indeed necessary to send personnel to Huating County to collect more evidence to obtain the truth.

But the matter was not over, Lin Qingran looked at Zeng Aniu and others and said, "You are suing the Xu family for invading the land, but this minister cannot accept it!"

Zeng Aniu and others were disappointed when they heard this. They stayed in the capital. Although they received assistance, they wanted to seek justice all the time.

Lin Xuran changed his tone and said, "It's just that the Xu family's subordinate He Jiu killed your tribe. Now, Mr. Xu's testimony has already been given. Our minister will send personnel to Huating County together to preside over this justice for you!"

"Thank you Master Qingtian!" Zeng Aniu and others were overjoyed and immediately bowed and knelt to thank him.

When Xu Fan saw this scene next to him, he seemed to realize something. He suddenly looked at Lin Weiran in the hall hatefully and accused viciously: "You designed all this on purpose, right?"

But no wonder he had such suspicion. Mr. Xu's case was simply an introduction, and had successfully led the disaster to He Jiu, the servant of their Xu Mansion, and thus the matter involved their Xu Mansion.

When things came to this point, Lin Weiran had not yet been stigmatized, and the Xu family seemed to be in trouble.

"This minister will not design anyone. I just hope to give justice to the wronged people in the world, even if the matter involves your Xu family slave!" Lin Shiran answered with justice, and then slapped the arrogance and said: "Get out, retreat."

Hall”.

Dongdong...

Twelve tall yamen operators used long sticks of water and fire to pound the blue bricks, making neat sounds, demonstrating the majesty of the Shuntian Prefecture.

The pool of water is completely muddy. It was originally just a matter of Mr. Xu, but now it is spreading to He Jiu, the Xu Mansion. It can even be said that the Xu Mansion is also involved.

Today's court interrogation has attracted widespread attention from the capital, and what happened here will naturally spread throughout the capital, and is known to the scholars and people in the capital.

Everyone's focus is no longer whether Xu Yuanwai is Xu Dafa, whether Lin Qingran, the Shuntian Mansion Chief, who was born in Wen Kui, made a false case, but whether He Jiu, the evil slave of Xu's mansion, beat someone to death, Xu's mansion is here
