Zhao Jin leaned on the back of the chair, with his fingertips on the armrests. The gold-threaded edges and the large sleeves embroidered with complicated cloud patterns were hanging down. His eyelids were slightly raised, "Let the trial begin."
"Yes." Chu Xiao bowed slightly to Zhao Jin, then held the Jingmu Tang in his right hand.
"Crack!"
"Cui Nong, Yao Qiran!"
Two government guards escorted Yao Qiran, one on the left and the other on the right. Cui Nong walked on the far left, and the five of them came to the court side by side.
Yao Qiran's eyes were pleading, and he looked at Yao Chengyu who was sitting below Mr. Cen.
However, Yao Chengyu avoided his gaze, and his cold eyes fell on the ground in front of him.
Both Yao Chengyu and Mr. Cen who came here knew that it would be difficult for the Yao family to stand up this time.
Yao Chengyu avoided Yao Qiran's gaze, fearing that he would not be able to hold back his anger and directly scold this unscrupulous man!
If Yao Qiran hadn't handled the matter cleanly and left Cui Nong as a troublemaker, why would the Yao family have been used by Zhao Jin for surgery?
However, Yao Chengyu simply ignored it. Even if Yao Qiran was found guilty, the loss of a direct grandson of the Yao family would not cause the Yao family to fall into decline.
What really put the Yao family to death was the rest of the incriminating evidence of the Yao family that Chu Xiao had in their hands.
Or maybe Yao Chengyu deliberately ignored this issue and put all the blame on Yao Qiran and others, so that he could avoid the blame for the decline of the Yao family when he was the head of the family.
Yao Qiran's eyes dimmed, and when he turned his head and glanced past Cui Nong and then Zhao Jin, he became filled with hatred and anger.
Zhao Jin naturally felt the hot gaze coming from Yao Qiran. He looked back indifferently and quickly looked away. It seemed that Yao Qiran was not worthy of his too much attention.
Cui Nong came to the middle of the court hall and knelt down with a "plop", "Common people see you, sir."
Yao Qiran on the right was unwilling to kneel down. In his opinion, Chu Xiao was just a poor servant from a poor family. If it hadn't been for this incident, when he passed the imperial examination, one day Chu Xiao would have saluted him.
of.
"Bold! Yao Qiran, why don't you salute me when you see me?" Chu Xiao scolded sternly.
Yao Qiran stiffened his neck, said nothing, and refused to salute.
I don’t know who I am angry with.
Yao Chengyu, who was sitting next to him, was almost mad at Yao Qiran's actions.
idiot!
Yao Qiran was unwilling to kneel down, but the government guards standing on both sides of him kicked Yao Qiran in the knees regardless of his thoughts at this moment.
His legs hurt, and Yao Qiran, who was kicked in the knee socket, lost his legs in pain and knelt on the ground vigorously.
There was a "bang" sound, which made everyone present feel pain.
Even more severe pain came from his knees as he was kneeling on the ground, and Yao Qiran almost couldn't kneel properly.
Zhao Jin slowly picked up the tea cup at hand and took a sip of tea.
"Cui Nong, a few days ago you sued Yao Qiran for killing your parents, kidnapping your sister, and killing your sister in order to seize your family's land two years ago. Is this true?"
Chu Xiao didn't care about Yao Chiran's harsh words anymore. There would be witnesses and physical evidence later, and it was useless for Yao Chiran to be harsh.
Cui Nong put his hands on the ground and leaned over, "Replying to your lord, this is indeed the case."
"Yao Chiran took a land sales contract and forced the parents of the grassroots to press their fingerprints, but he didn't give us any money, and even beat the parents of the grassroots to death!"
Cui Nong raised his head, his eyes were red, and he was crying blood.
"After Cao Min's sister was kidnapped, Cao Min tried to save her several times but could not. Finally, he received the news of his sister's death."
"Please, sir, make the decision for the common people!"
The people who heard Cui Nong's words outside were indignant.
"This is too much. Not only did they seize other people's land, they also beat people to death."
"Yes! This Cui Nong doesn't look too big. His sister is younger than him, and she was even younger two years ago. This is too cruel."
"Hey! What a sin!"
"The Yao family has done so many wrongs, and now it can be said that evil is rewarded."
The voices of common people whispering were scattered into the lobby, and Yao Chengyu's face turned dark and gloomy.
"Yao Qiran, what do you have to say?"
Yao Qiran couldn't care less at this time and cried loudly: "Sir! It's unfair! This land purchase and sale contract can only be done with the presence of both parties."
"How can Cao Min hold a contract and force them to press their fingerprints? As for his sister, it was his sister who found Cao Min after his parents died."
"The grassroots felt sorry for her being alone and helpless, so they took her in. However, her sister was overly worried and became seriously ill, so she left."
"What kind of crime are the common people guilty of?"
Cui Nong suddenly turned his head to look at Yao Qiran, his eyes were about to burst, "Yao Qiran! Don't talk nonsense! It was clearly you who kidnapped her at that time! Everyone in Cui's village knows this!"
"Ha, then you let the people from Cuijia Village come forward to testify?!" Yao Qiran sneered and said confidently.
Yao Qiran didn't know that Zhao Jin had already convinced the people of Cuijia Village.
Although there are account books as physical evidence, if there is no witness, with the ability of the Yao family, it will not be a problem to save him.
"Sir! Please let the people from Cuijia Village testify!" Cui Nong turned his head and bowed to Chu Xiao, not agreeing with Yao Qiran's words at all.
Only then did Yao Qiran realize that something was wrong, and a bad feeling arose in his heart.
really.
Chu Xiao patted Jingmu Hall and said in a deep voice: "It is said that the people from Cuijia Village will go to court!"
An old man walked into the court. He had gray hair and was obviously older, but his legs and feet were still nimble.
Behind the old man were a man and a woman. The man was tall and strong, but his behavior was a bit timid and nervous. The woman next to him was leaning against the man.
"Caomin, meet your lord."
The three of them knelt on Cui Nong's left rear and said in unison.
"Well, who is kneeling in the hall?"
"Caomin Cui Tie."
"Cui Jinxin, a grassroots man."
"Mr. Li, a civilian woman."
"Okay." Chu Xiao looked solemn and asked in a deep voice, "I would like to ask you, has Yao Qiran ever seized Cui Nong's family's land?"
"Report to your lord."
Cui Tie bowed tremblingly to Chu Xiao, "It is true that Yao Qiran came several times to force Cui Nong's family to give up the land, but they did not agree."
"One time, Yao Qiran came with many people, and then they started arguing fiercely. Only after Yao Qiran left with his people did we dare to go and have a look."
"But..." Cui Tie couldn't help but shook his head, "But there is no one alive in the house."
The people outside were in an uproar.
When Cui Nong identified Yao Qiran, they were already extremely dissatisfied with Yao Qiran.
For ordinary people, land is everything.
Farmers rely on the land for their livelihood. Without land, wouldn't it mean that half of their lives are lost?
