The five hundred and fortieth chapters fall into the disadvantage
Chu Xiao and Cui Nong were both stunned.
"What did you say?"
The military official repeated it again, Chu Xiao's face was extremely ugly, "What evidence do they have in their hands?"
"It's said to be a contract."
As soon as the military official said these words, Cui Nong's face suddenly lost all color.
Chu Xiao saw this and frowned tightly, "Go back to the government office first, Cui Nong, you go with us, tell me what this contract is about on the way."
"Okay." Cui Nong's eyes were a little dazed, and he responded quickly.
Chu Xiao and his people rushed back to the government office in a hurry.
On the way, Chu Xiao roughly understood what was going on from Cui Nong's explanation.
At the beginning, Yao Chiran might have been afraid of another turmoil, so he deliberately left a backup plan and got a contract stating that the Cui family would sell the land to him, and that both parties would be fully compensated for the money and goods.
However, Yao Chiran did not give the Cui family a penny at all. He went directly to the Cui family with the contract and forced them to press their fingerprints.
Chu Xiaohei had a sullen face, he finally understood why Fu Yin would stand wholeheartedly on the side of the Yao family.
If it was just because he was worried about offending the Yao family, he would never do it to this extent.
After all, if Fu Yin helps the Yao family too much, he is undoubtedly going against His Highness the Crown Prince. He is afraid of offending the Yao family, and it is impossible not to be afraid of offending His Highness the Crown Prince.
But the other party would rather offend the prince than help the Yao family.
Now it seems that it is not because he is afraid of offending the Yao family, but because once the matter comes to light, he will be in trouble!
After returning to the government office, Chu Xiao walked into the government office with a dark face.
At this time, in the government office, Fu Yin was sitting at the top of the lobby, with Yao Chiran and a middle-aged man sitting below.
When they saw Chu Xiao, they stood up one after another.
"I've met Mr. Chu."
Fu Yin is of the same rank as Chu Xiao and does not need to salute. Yao Qiran now has no fame and is just a commoner. Next to him is an elder of Yao's family who is an official in the court.
The other party worked in the Ministry of Punishment, but he was only a fifth-rank official and was Chu Xiao's subordinate.
Both of them could only salute Chu Xiao honestly.
However, since they were from the Yao family, others would usually give them some respect and would not really ask them to finish the ceremony.
However, Chu Xiao walked directly in front of the two of them, stood at the top of the lobby, and forced the two of them to finish the salute.
Yao Qiran's face was not very good-looking, and when he looked at Chu Xiao, there was a vague dissatisfaction in his eyes.
"I heard that you sued Cui Nong for slandering Yao Qiran?"
"Sir," the middle-aged man stood up and said with cupped hands: "At that time, Chu Ran and the Cui family were clearly in conflict with each other about money and goods, but now the Cui family actually accuses us of occupying people's fields."
"If Qi Ran hadn't found this contract, I'm afraid I would have had to bear this unfounded charge!"
The middle-aged man's voice became louder and louder, filled with indignation.
Cui Nong was so angry that his lips trembled, "You're talking nonsense! This contract is clearly the fingerprint you forced my father to press, and you didn't even give us half a penny!"
"Are you Cui Nong?"
Yao Qiran moved his gaze from Chu Xiao to Cui Nong, narrowing his eyes slightly, revealing a bit of malice.
If he hadn't been this person, he wouldn't have had to be entangled in such a thing so close to the exam.
I should have laughed when I narrowly escaped death. If I didn't find a place to hide, I would have to come out and cause trouble.
"Cui Nong, you said that I didn't give you the money and forced you to press your fingerprints." Yao Qiran sneered, "Where's the evidence?"
"Anyone from Cuijia Village can..." Cui Nong's voice gradually faded away.
He only has witnesses from Cuijia Village, but now they are unwilling to testify, and he has no evidence in hand.
Yao Qiran smiled knowingly, "It seems there is no evidence."
The next moment, Yao Qiran's face darkened, "But I have evidence!"
He raised his hand and pointed at the contract on the table in front of Chu Xiao and Fu Yin, "This is the contract I made with your Cui family. It is clearly written in black and white."
"Cui Nong, this contract requires both parties to come to the government office to process it, and they also have to press their fingerprints at the government office. It is impossible to take the contract away before both parties press their fingerprints."
Yao Qiran pretended to be angry, "How can I force you to press your fingerprints? I will order someone to escort you to press your fingerprints in the government office?"
Cui Nong naturally knew that the contract could only be made in the government office, but Yao Qiran did come to Cuijia Village with the contract at that time and forced his father to press it.
However, the people in Cuijia Village refused to testify. No matter what Cui Nong said, it was just one-sided words.
"Sir!" Cui Nong gritted his teeth and knelt down, "everything the grassroots said is true!"
The governor looked unkind and asked in a deep voice: "Cui Nong, the government is responsible for this matter. Do you mean to say that I and Yao Qiran forced you to seize people's fields together?"
The hands on the ground suddenly tightened, and Cui Nong's breathing became rapid. This is the fact!
Before he was confused by the anger and the sudden unusual situation, he directly kowtowed to Chu Xiao and said, "Please forgive me!"
Cui Nong is now speechless and can only place his hope on Chu Xiao.
"Master Chu, the contract in the hands of the common people is the best evidence." Yao Qiran bowed his hands on the ground.
"Cui Nong is just making one-sided remarks, but the contract in the hands of the grassroots people is enough to prove that the grassroots people have never occupied private land."
Chu Xiao looked down at the contract and picked it up.
A thin piece of paper carries three lives on it.
Seeing that he was silent, Yao Qiran was even more dissatisfied.
"Master Chu, when Cui Nong had no evidence, Master Chu thought that it was the common people who committed such evil things."
"Now that Cao Min has evidence to prove his innocence, Cui Nong has slandered Cao Min for no reason, and we don't know why."
"But your Excellency still doesn't believe in the common people." Yao Qiran's voice was a little sinister, "Isn't it possible that Mr. Chu simply hates officials from aristocratic families?"
Yao Qiran's words can be described as extremely vicious.
Once this sentence is spread, Chu Xiao will probably find it difficult to move forward in the future given that eighty-nine percent of the officials in the court are from aristocratic families.
"Presumptuous!" Chu Xiao raised his eyes and looked at Yao Qiran coldly.
But the middle-aged man stopped Chu Xiao from continuing to scold Yao Qiran, "Master Chu, Master Shangshu has always said that law enforcement must be impartial, and the case must be decided based on evidence."
"Now, Qi Ran has evidence in his hands, but Cui Nong has no evidence in his hands."
Chu Xiao couldn't help but tighten his fingers on the contract, and the contract was squeezed into wrinkles in his hands.
The middle-aged man brought up the Minister of Punishment to warn him.
The Minister of Punishment came from a wealthy family. Although Cui Nong's case did not directly indicate that he was on the side of the wealthy family, it was obvious that the other party would not stand by and watch the Yao family be punished.
When Chu Xiao came to the government office, he was beaten once by the Minister of Punishment, but he blocked the way.
