Chapter 97 confrontation (1)(1/2)
Zhao Ning, the eldest son of the first general clan, dared to come to Jingzhao Mansion with great fanfare and sue the young master of the Liu family, who was a scholar, for taking human life. He also escorted a direct son of the Liu family into custody. To say this, it is very simple.
Pang Sheng would never believe it.
If Zhao Ning doesn't have some deep-seated plot, given the relationship between Duwei Mansion and Jingzhao Mansion, the other party will not come to Jingzhao Mansion to find trouble. And the goals that Zhao Ning needs to achieve, no matter how big or small, are all Pang Sheng needs.
object of destruction.
Whether considering personal grievances, the overall situation of the confrontation between Duwei Mansion and Jingzhao Mansion, or even the civil and military struggle, Pang Sheng did not make it easy for Zhao Ning to get his wish.
"Liu Xincheng, the son of the Liu family, insulted the maid of the clan. In the process of violence, he beat the maid's son to death on the spot, and then severely injured the maid. He also asked his servants to transport the mother and son away on a cart and prepare to dump their bodies in the wilderness.
.The maid who participated in this matter, the servant who dumped the body, and the body of the child who was beaten to death are all here."
Zhao Ning pointed to Liu Xincheng outside the hall, "Liu Xincheng's brother Liu Xincheng once tried to intercept us on the street. Many people saw it at the time, and some are following him now. This case is very clear, and I hope you will investigate and handle it in accordance with the law.
Put the criminals in jail and punish them!"
Although servants are servants, they are not slaves or animals after all. According to the law, they are not the property of the master. The master cannot kill them at will. Otherwise, although the master will not kill people to pay for their lives, the punishment of exile is unavoidable.
As soon as this statement came out, the people watching outside the hall immediately started talking. Some of the excited people had already begun to accuse Liu of being cruel and inhumane.
Pang Sheng slapped the crowd and signaled the people outside to be quiet. He had no intention of questioning the witnesses to find out the facts of the case. He simply asked Zhao Ning: "How could Mr. Zhao know so clearly about what happened in Liu's Mansion?"
?Take a step back, assuming that things are really as Mr. Zhao said, why did you arrive near the Liu family's house in time and happen to meet the other party dumping the body? "
Speaking of this, he chuckled, and the look he looked at Zhao Ning became contemptuous, as if he was looking at a stupid young man who didn't know how powerful he was, "Mr. Zhao, I don't need to investigate this case, I already know that there are many doubts.
.Who in the world doesn’t know that the Liu family is a scholarly family and a family of etiquette. It is really ridiculous to want the Liu family to be charged with disregarding human life just based on your words! Is there any shameful deed behind these doubts?
I’m afraid that’s what I need to find out first!”
After saying this, Pang Sheng had a serious look on his face, as if he really wanted to check on Zhao Ning, and his eyes were filled with a playful look that seemed to be a smile but not a smile.
When the onlookers who had just been quiet for a while heard this, they began to whisper to each other again, but this time the focus of their discussion shifted to Zhao Ning.
"Yes, how did Mr. Zhao know about this?"
"Things are not simple! Mr. Zhao definitely has some unknown secrets!"
"I thought Mr. Zhao was going to stand up for the poor, but it turns out he also had his own conspiracy!"
"These aristocratic families are really all the same, none of them are good..."
Most people were guided by Pang Sheng and diverted their attention. Only a small number of knowledgeable people became extremely angry at this time.
"The dead body is right in front of you, and the victim is still kneeling in the hall. Jing Zhaoyin doesn't ask about the murder case, but relies on his own imagination to question Mr. Zhao. He really doesn't know what to say!"
"There is a plaque hanging high above the mirror in the court hall. He does not make the decision for the sufferer, but deliberately leads the people's emotions to the wrong road. His intention is to be punished!"
"These onlookers are really stupid. They are easily led astray and have no opinions at all. They are like pigs!"
Although the discussion among the people was chaotic, Zhao Ning was already a practitioner in the late stage of Qi Control Realm. He had sharp ears and eyes, and he could hear the general opinions of the two schools in the blink of an eye. However, the voices of knowledgeable people were very rare, and there were not many of them.
Zhao Ning didn't care about the discussion in front of him. If he dared to stand here today, he would have the confidence to control the emotions of the people. He looked at Pang Sheng and said calmly: "The things that Pang Sheng pays attention to are really strange to Zhao. Could it be that Zhao Ning
Can't someone happen to encounter a murder case? Can't they have a righteous heart and help the suffering people to seek justice for them?
"In the eyes of Da Da Man, is there no justice, no kindness, no courtesy and shame in this world?! All the people in this world do everything for their own selfishness and are all dark and dirty calculations?! Isn't this the case for Da Da Da Man?
I have never done any good deeds, never advocated justice for the people, and never upheld justice for the suffering people?! If not, why would Da Da Da treat a gentleman with the heart of a villain!"
A barrage of questions, each one more powerful than the next, and each question pointed directly to the heart, made the crowd of onlookers stop talking, and made Pang Sheng's face turn blue.
"Zhao Ning! Don't be so eloquent! This is my lobby. What I say has my own intention. I don't need you to teach me how to investigate the case! Let me ask you, what do you mean?
How did you learn about what happened in Liu's mansion?! If you can't answer this question, I will have to doubt your intentions! You are not qualified to stand in my lobby anymore, let alone
Get involved in this case!"
Pang Sheng slapped the alarm hard, his face was majestic, his voice was stern, every move and every word was full of Jing Zhaoyin's official authority that could not be provoked.
The meaning of his words was obvious. If Zhao Ning couldn't answer his question, he would have to leave the lobby of Jingzhao Mansion. It was up to him how he wanted to investigate and handle this case! If Zhao Ning wanted to answer his question
Question - In Pang Sheng's view, Zhao Ning simply cannot have a perfect answer.
Zhao Ning was as careful as his hair, how could he not understand Pang Sheng's intentions, and sneered, "It seems that Pang Pang's information is not very well-informed, so Zhao will tell you why. Some time ago, the Duwei Mansion investigated Pang Sheng's Feixue Building in Pingkangfang.
The case uncovered the underground gangs and rescued many persecuted women and children, including Yu Niang and her son."
After saying that, he turned to face the people outside the hall, pointed at Yu Niang and said sadly: "This is a kind woman, but also a hard-working woman. She was sold to a gambling shop by her ruthless husband who was addicted to gambling to pay off her debts. At that time, she
There is still a fetus in her belly! When I led the Duwei Mansion to attack the gambling house, she had already had a miscarriage due to the suffering. Although I saved her in time, I could not save the fetus in her belly!
"But she also had an eight-year-old child who was also sold as a slave by her husband at the time. I tried my best to find him and rescued him in time! God was merciful, and mother and son were reunited, returned home, and lived a good life.
"In order to thank the officials of the Duwei Mansion who rescued her, this woman with a poor family sold her last piece of worthless jewelry, made cakes for us, and borrowed a neighbor's food box to send it over.
"When I saw her misery and kindness, I and Wei Du wanted to help her and let her eight-year-old child be a book boy for us, so that she would not worry about food and clothing. However, when our people went
I went to her home and found out that she had been sold by her husband again, to the Liu family!"
Speaking of this, Zhao Ning's eyes were painful, he took a deep breath, then looked directly at the crowd, and was about to continue. When Pang Sheng heard this, he already felt something bad, and he was about to take the gavel again, and hit
Cut off Zhao Ning's words and tell him to stop talking.
"At this time, what do you think I and Wei Dutou should do?!"
Zhao Ning's voice suddenly became louder, and before Pang Sheng took the photo, "Shouldn't someone like Yu Niang have a good life and a bright future? Should she be a servant? I
I believe that you, like me, think that I should help people to the end! That’s it, Wei Dutou and I hurried to the Liu family’s house!"
Having said this, Zhao Ning turned around and stared at Pang Sheng, pointed at the Liu servant outside the hall, and said word by word with red eyes: "Pang Pang! What did Zhao do wrong? Is Zhao's every move reasonable?
Zhao's only mistake was that he arrived late. He didn't expect the Liu clan to be so heartless and crazy!
"Zhao never expected that when he saw Yu Niang again, her eight-year-old child, the woman's only and all life hope and sustenance, who was betrayed time and time again by her gambler husband, had become a corpse! She herself almost
My daughter is dead! If I hadn’t met them on the street and helped them, she would have been a corpse now! Panda, at this time, do you want to ask Zhao why he knew the situation and why he helped them?!"
Pang Sheng was startled, he didn't expect things to turn out like this.
Just when his mind was racing and he was thinking quickly about how to reverse the situation, a shrill and tragic cry suddenly sounded in the hall. The sound was so loud that it pierced the ears and heart. It shocked Pang Sheng so much that his hands shook and he stared hard.
When I went to see him, I saw Yu Niang lying on her son's body, crying so hard that she was about to faint.
She was just a commoner who had never seen any big scenes. She lived a hard-working life, even if she felt a lot of grievance and pain in her heart. When she arrived at the lobby of Jingzhao Mansion, she faced the mighty government officials standing on both sides.
Zhaoyin was still afraid from the bottom of his heart.
Because of this, she kept her head down, trembling slightly, and dared not speak. It wasn't until Zhao Ning said that her child would never survive that she couldn't control herself.
Yuniang's unbearable cries ignited the sympathy of the onlookers and aroused their hatred for the powerful. At this time, Zhao Ning turned around again, stared at the people outside the hall and asked: "What do you mean?
, Should Jing Zhaoyin find out what happened to Yu Niang and her son in the Liu family? Should Yu Niang’s dead eight-year-old child be given an explanation, and should she give them justice?!"
As Zhao Ning asked questions again and again, the crowd outside the hall suddenly exploded.
"Find out the facts of the case and give them justice to their mother and son!"
"Severely punish Liu's villain!"
"Sir, as a parent official, do you want to sit back and ignore Yu Niang's injustice?!"
"The Liu family must pay the price!"
"You must do what Young Master Zhao says, otherwise we will not agree!"
"If you don't make decisions for the people when you are an official, why not come back and sell sweet potatoes!"
Each sound is louder than the last.
Those who had questioned Zhao Ning under the guidance of Pang Sheng before were the ones who shouted the loudest now. Many of them blushed and had thick necks. They yelled with saliva flying around and pushed the government servants in front of them.
, there is an impressive posture of beating Liu Xincheng.
At this moment, they were like heroes upholding justice, fighting evil to the death, completely forgetting that they just said that Zhao Ning was not a good person.
And those knowledgeable people who had previously demanded to know the facts of the case are shouting loudly now, but they are restrained in their behavior, remain rational, and have not made excessive remarks or actions.
The angry attitude of the crowd made Pang Sheng's face turn into a pot. He felt that the matter was a bit difficult, but more importantly, he was angry. He was angry at a group of "tough people" who dared to yell in front of the court and command him, a fourth-grade master.
What should the members do?
The disobedient behavior in front of him greatly increased his evil spirit. He couldn't wait to maintain his official power and authority. He picked up the gavel and slammed it on the desk, scolding those forgetful people to be silent.
They are just a group of unscrupulous people, thinking that by gathering a few people and shouting a few words together, they can scare me and influence my words and deeds? What a joke! I am Pang Sheng, Jingzhao Yin. I hold the power and make orders and prohibitions. I am the one who keeps my words.
, not you bunch of mud-legged people!
Before the word solemnity could be uttered, the bookkeeper who was making the records of the ascension to the hall had already stood up and left his seat. He bowed his hands and saluted him in the hall: "Your Excellency, human lives are at stake and the public sentiment is boiling. Please handle the case impartially and protect Yu Niang, mother and son.
Justice!"
Pang Sheng was startled, then his face turned pale: "Master Zhou, do you know what you are doing?!" A seventh-grade official dared to point fingers at him in public. He really didn't know what to say. If he went against the grain, didn't he know the consequences?
?!
"I know. I am asking you to redress the grievances of the people!" Zhou Junchen leaned down and bowed, but his tone became more firm.
Pang Sheng was furious.
"Your Majesty, please find out the facts of the case and seek justice for the deceased!" Outside the hall, Tang Xing also bowed and saluted.
Pang Sheng took a deep breath.
