Chapter 684: Court Trial
Mr. Zhuang looked on with a smile. When he saw Magistrate Tang getting up, he slightly cupped his hands at him and said to Bai Shan, "Why don't you quickly thank Mr. Tang for your kindness?"
Bai Shan and Man Bao saluted quickly, and the confused Bai Erlang stood up and followed suit.
County Magistrate Tang smiled slightly, took the confession and said: "This case cannot be tried in public, but if it is tried behind closed doors, you two are also witnesses. Maybe you can take a look. Then I will invite you to watch my trial.
ah."
Hearing the pride in his tone, the two of them nodded repeatedly, they also wanted to see it.
Ji Hao's health is gradually improving, and the Ying family can finally visit Ji Hao's house. They are trying very hard to get Ying Wenhai out of prison.
However, the Ying family members stayed outside the prison for two days and two nights and found no one in the prison calling for a doctor, and all the things they sent in, no matter how much, were confiscated.
After stuffing the money with me and asking, the prison chief confirmed again and again that the food was delivered in, but that Young Master Ying disliked it because it was too greasy and refused to eat it, so he rewarded them.
If Ying Wenhai was not ill, they had no reason to take him home. Ying Wei had no choice but to go to Yizhou Prince's Mansion with a low face.
The princess sent an old nanny to the prison, but she couldn't even get into the prison to take a look at Ying Wenhai.
They, they really can't do anything against Magistrate Tang.
The governor of the Ming Dynasty was still patrolling the countryside, admonishing farmers and mulberry farmers. I heard that even though he was sunburned, he insisted on standing on the front line with the people, trying to appease the remaining refugees and provide them with a good home.
Work.
Qi Biejia fell ill and was said to have been unable to work for several days.
In the entire Huayang County, the magistrate of Tang County is the largest. Unless the King of Yizhou comes forward in person, no one can really enter the prison.
But the King of Yizhou has been pretending not to know about this. He neither stopped the princess from running for the Ying family nor came forward to intercede for the Ying family. It was impossible for him to come forward.
County Magistrate Tang also went to Ji Hao's house to see Ji Hao. After seeing that he could answer questions soberly, he asked him a few questions before leaving.
Ji Xiang silently invited him to the front hall and asked: "Master Tang, if our Ji family does not pursue this matter..."
County magistrate Tang smiled and said: "The Ji family doesn't care. Naturally our county government will not force you to report the case. However, this matter is very important. It has also affected many students in the government school. They should also be given an explanation."
He said: "I have decided to try the case the day after tomorrow. If the Ji family wants to withdraw the lawsuit, they can just take the money and come to the county government office to dismiss the case."
Magistrate Tang didn't care what they discussed in private. He was going to settle the case anyway. Moreover, Magistrate Tang raised the corner of his mouth slightly. He didn't think that the Ji family and the Ying family could reach the final settlement in just one day.
reconciliation.
After the trial, it will be up to the Ying family whether they use money to redeem the person or use the power of the Yizhou Palace to redeem the person.
Magistrate Tang stood up to say goodbye, bowed to Mrs. Ji who was walking behind Ji Xiang, and then left.
Ji Xiang turned around and found his mother walking towards him with a frosty expression on his face.
After all, the Ji family did not come to the county government office to resolve the case, so County Magistrate Tang chose a sunny morning (what a coincidence) to invite teachers from the Ji family, Ying family, Fu Xue and Dacheng College and some students.
Entered the county government.
The gate of the county government office was closed, and everyone sat down on two sides, with the younger ones standing. Magistrate Tang sat on a chair, slapped the hall and said, "Go and bring Ying Wenhai up."
Ying Wenhai has been in jail for seven or eight days. He has lost a lot of weight, but he seems to be in good spirits and does not seem to have been abused.
The people on the Ying family breathed a sigh of relief, but the people on the Ji family were not very happy when they saw Ying Wenhai, and their expressions were ugly.
This case happened in broad daylight, in full view of the public, and Ying Wenhai did not deny it, so it was particularly easy to try, and there was no technical content at all in the early stage.
What is really technical is that after Ying Wenhai and a group of witnesses gave Qixiashan's confession, the defense of the two families was actually the defense of the Ying family.
The Ying family's meaning is very clear. It was Ying Wenhai's fault for hurting the horse and causing Ji Hao to fall off the horse, but his original intention was not to harm Ji Hao, and his ex-lover Ji Hao obviously made more mistakes. After all, he was the one who provoked the person to scold him in the first place.
It is normal for people to react aggressively when excited.
Mrs. Ji sat aside with a sullen face. Ji Xiang stepped forward to argue. The Ji family was not unreasonable. For example, why did they quarrel on Qixia Mountain?
It's not because of what happened at Chunfeng Tower a month ago.
At that time, Ji Xiang only had half a month's leave, not counting the time spent going back and forth, so he didn't have that much time to deal with the matter. In addition, he had already exchanged opinions with the Ying family on how to deal with it, and each family's children were taken home by each family.
Teacher, Chunfeng Tower had lost half of the family, so it was hard for him to go back on his word midway.
So he didn't go to the Ying family again about the injury on Ji Hao's chest.
He brought it up now, and the reason was very good, "My son is only sixteen years old after all. Ying Wenhai hurt him so badly, and they have always had conflicts. It's normal for them to quarrel, but if they quarrel again, he won't do it."
It’s time to take action.”
"Don't say it's unintentional. What kid hasn't been taught when he first learned to ride a horse that a disorderly horse will kill someone. If he gave my son's horse such a whip behind his back, how could the horse not become disordered?"
The Ji family nodded repeatedly.
Ying Wei was stunned for a moment and asked: "What does Chunfeng Tower mean? There was a fight in Chunfeng Tower, and my son was also injured..."
"Humph, your son was injured, but they were all flesh wounds. I found out later that my son's chest was scratched with a silver hairpin. The wound was not shallow, and some dirt was smeared on it, which made the wound scratchy.
It can't be healed." Ji Xiang said: "With such scheming, what if he applied some poison at that time?"
Ying Wei immediately said: "Mr. Ji, please don't slander me. You and I went to the Chunfeng Building to pick up the children. We all looked at them. Except for some injuries on their faces, they did not suffer any other injuries. You said
The injury on Ji Hao's chest was caused by my son, but I dare not admit it."
Magistrate Tang, who had been quiet all this time, coughed slightly and interjected: "Sir Ying, I know about this matter. Unfortunately, I was the one who told the Ji family that Ji Hao was injured, and Ying Wenhai also admitted that Ji Hao had injuries on his chest.
There are injuries.”
He looked at Ying Wenhai, who had been kneeling in the hall and said nothing, and asked with a smile: "Ying Wenhai, is what I said correct?"
Ying Wenhai lowered his head and said, "Yes."
Ying Wei never expected this to happen. He was caught off guard and almost fell down in anger.
County Magistrate Tang said: "Although Ying Wenhai has admitted the matter, I still have some doubts that have never been answered. It just so happens that Mr. Ying and Mrs. Ying are here today, which just solves my doubts."
