The people watching outside the yamen were furious, and Yu Wenjing's expression changed again. The words of the young minister of Dali Temple, Mo Jinshan, were a strong argument for taking a step back. Obviously, Ye Xingyuan had the upper hand in whether Ah Qing and Nushan were husband and wife.

Before he knew it, this case reached Ye Xingyuan's rhythm - this was also the most worrying issue of Yuwen Jing. Although Mo Jinshan's words were still irrefutable, the two crimes of "concubine killing husband" and "wife killing husband" were both murderous and unparalleled, but there was still a fundamental difference in the end.

A concubine kills her husband like a slave and a master, which is also a destruction of the ruler, which is much worse than the subversion of his wife killing her husband. The five great scholars wanted to cure Ye Xingyuan on the Aqing case, and the essence was to suppress him in terms of the ruler.

Now, in order to successfully overturn the case, Mo Jinshan made a step back. Although he could still use this matter to suppress Ye Xingyuan, the oppressive feeling that he would never turn over forever has become much lighter. When Yu Wenjing thought of this, he felt that there was a hidden worry in his heart.

However, even if he was in the hall, under Ye Xingyuan's lyrics, he would not be able to come up with any better way to deal with it. Mo Jinshan's rhetoric was the last method of refuting after everyone's research, but he didn't expect that he would be forced out by Ye Xingyuan so soon.

Ye Xingyuan heard Mo Jinshan say this and smiled slightly and bowed, "Since Lord Mo also agrees with Xiaguan's opinion, believing that Nushan and Aqing are not husband and wife, and at best they can only be considered concubines, then Xiaguan has no objection."

He took the initiative to give in, and his mouth and tongue suddenly shrank in front of him, leaving only one foot long. However, it was as solid as it was, and it seemed dense and thick in the air, even with a few traces of gold.

During this round of Tianji's fight, Ye Xingyuan seemed to be at a slight disadvantage. Everyone in the hall, except for the prefect Lu, breathed a sigh of relief, especially Han Lin, who was originally suppressed by Ye Xingyuan, felt his chest was stuffy and almost couldn't breathe.

Now that Mo Jinshan has a help from a word, his clear speech and energy are slowly recovering. Finally, the foundation of his spiritual power has not been irreversibly hurt. He still feels lucky in his heart, and he is still scared, and he dare not underestimate Ye Xingyuan.

Zhang Mosheng, a doctor at the Qing official of Jianmen, the Ministry of Justice, coughed and said smoothly: "Since this matter has been made clear, you don't have to worry too much. As Qiongguan County said, although Aqing is not the wife of Nushan, Nushan is also Aqing's husband.

The crime of killing a husband cannot be avoided. The previous judgment of Qiongguan County, although there is a reason for the saint's kindness and forgiveness, has not yet obtained the true intention, so it should be overturned and severely sentenced. Do you guys agree?"

Mr. Bu was the first to jump out to express his support. He glanced at Ye Xingyuan and said, "Qiongguan County is young and he is the first to take charge of the county affairs. It is inevitable that he will make mistakes and omissions for a while. Now he is sentenced to a heavy sentence, but he is the master of the Three Laws."

Han Lin and Mo Jinshan also nodded, but Ye Xingyuan spoke again, "Wait! Lord Zhang's words are wrong. The lower official just got recognition from several adults, proving that Aqing is not the wife of Nushan, but this is just the first step. The second step, what I want to prove is that Nushan is also not the husband of Aqing!"

Zhang Mosheng was stunned and looked at Ye Xingyuan in disbelief, but saw that he was calm and his face was normal, and he didn't feel like he was challenging the authority of the Three Laws. His breath suddenly surged and forced him to the other people in the court except Prefect Lu.

The Ministry of Justice actually did not want to get into this mess of muddy water. The old Shangshu Zhou and the Minister of Justice Yang both believed that the Ministry of Justice played the role of a scarecrow during the trial of the Three Laws. The hatred of the other parties towards Ye Xingyuan was enough to make this matter a foregone conclusion. There was no need to go into battle barely and conflict with Ye Xingyuan head-on.

Therefore, Zhang Mosheng did not speak in the court, and it was not until the atmosphere was awkward that he came forward to mediate. In fact, although his words supported the mainstream public opinion of the court and decided that Ah Qing was the killer of his husband, he also slightly exonerated Ye Xingyuan.

In his opinion, this was probably the best result. On the one hand, it followed the wishes of the cabinet officials, and on the other hand, it could also sell it to Ye Xingyuan. But unexpectedly, Ye Xingyuan not only did not appreciate it, but even spoke nonsense, which was simply provoking the authority of the Three Laws.

When Zhang Mosheng thought of this, his face was as deep as water: "Qiongguan County, don't mess around. Whether Ah Qing is for his wife or concubine, Nushan is his husband, and there is no doubt that why should he discuss this matter again?"

Ye Xingyuan said calmly: "Mr. Zhang's words are wrong again. Aqing is not a wife. It has been explained just now. As for whether she is a concubine or not, it still needs to be discussed. According to the laws and regulations of this dynasty, poor women can be bid by their parents, and rich women can be concubines. However, people with no rank can only have one concubine at most..."

Mr. Bu snorted coldly and interrupted him, "It has been found out before that although Nushan is a barbarian, he has not married, and he has no other concubines. If you want to find this loophole in Qiongguan County, it is a whimsical idea."

If Nushan had a wife and concubine before he occupied Aqing, Ye Xingyuan might have argued that he would not be able to buy a concubine according to Xuanyuan's law. However, Nushan was a rascal rogue, and his family was limited after all, and there was no other woman except Aqing.

Ye Xingyuan said sarcastically: "Mr. Bu can find out this clearly. However, the official did not question the qualifications of Nushan to buy a concubine, but did he pay Aqing's parents the fee for buying a concubine?"

Han Lin revived his squad and said, "Aqing's parents owed 20 taels of silver in Nushan and voluntarily used their daughter to pay off the debt. Although they did not understand the laws and regulations, they wrote not to buy a concubine's document but to marry the marriage.

But according to the "Report on Certificates of the Northwest Provinces" and the approval of the late emperor twenty years ago, the common people were ignorant and calculated by buying concubines. I am afraid that you are not clear about this section in Qiongguan County, right?"

The late emperor adhered to the legacy of Emperor Renzong and treated his people well. At that time, Liu Anyou, the chief minister, was good at punishing his name. He knew that the education of the northwest provinces was insufficient, and the people were mostly foolish, and loopholes were often found in the documents.

Therefore, I wrote a special letter to explain several common cases of errors in the documentary, which made it difficult to clear the case. The late emperor sighed and deeply agreed, so he approved it according to the intention of Liu Shoufu. This is also one of the basis for frequent citations in the northwest provinces and also the method of adaptation of Xuanyuan Rules of this dynasty.

Ye Xingyuan glanced at Han Lin casually and said with a smile: "Although the officials are not good enough, they dare not neglect their knowledge. I have naturally read "The Certificate of Documents in Northwest Provinces" roughly. There is no doubt about the marriage book being used as a document to buy a concubine. But I have not known about the twenty taels of silver in Nushan to Aqing's parents, right?"

As soon as this said, Mo Jinshan, Han Lin, Zhang Mosheng and Bu Qianshi were shocked and stared at each other. How could they care about such minor matters? Could it be that Wu Shan had seized other people's daughter and even had to stingyly ask for the twenty taels of silver?

Ye Xingyuan didn't wait for them to react and immediately summoned Aqing's parents to testify. Aqing's father cried and told: "You are here, and the people dare not deceive him. The angry beasts were worse than those who were cheap and real contracts, and took my daughter's body. They didn't give up and came to harass her every day, asking the young man to pay him twenty taels of silver.

Although Caomin was not angry, he was fierce and domineering and did not dare to resist. Over the past two years, he had plundered all his savings and barely paid off his debts. Every money was confirmed by relatives, friends and neighbors, and there was no false statement."

When the people in the hall heard this, they were all indignant. Someone shouted angrily: "This Angry Mountain really deserves to be killed! I deceived a innocent yellow-flowered daughter and bullied her family. The barbarian is indeed inhumane!"

Someone also said unfairly: "No wonder I always heard that Nushan bullied Aqing's family after marriage. I thought it was a housework dispute, but I didn't expect to be entangled in these twenty taels. It's really shameless!"

Another person said passionately: "If I had known this, we would not have to go up and kill the barbarian without Ah Qing's actions. This is our human race. Can you still make people shit and urinate on your head?"

With the help of the people, Ye Xingyuan's mouth and tongue were clear and bright, and his illusion turned into a petal shape, covering the court. All three officials and Bu Qianshi were shrouded in it, and they were in panic all day long.

Yu Wenjing stood outside the door and stared at Ye Xingyuan tightly, knowing that the situation was hopeless. He really didn't expect that Ye Xingyuan could find this flaw as meticulous as he was, and these great scholars were above all else, who would pay attention to these twenty taels of silver?

But this was the key blow to Ye Xingyuan's turnaround. With just these twenty taels of silver, Ye Xingyuan successfully incited the emotions of the people and gained a title of righteousness. After that, even if the Three Laws were the Lotus, they could finally sentence Aqing to death, but the people's hearts were already on Ye Xingyuan and Aqing's side.

At least in this northwest, the blow to Ye Xingyuan's reputation was far less effective than expected.

In fact, the people are weak and can be bullied. As long as they are bound by regular etiquette and law, most people will not resist even if they are hurt. This is also an important factor in which the rulers can continuously exploit the common people but maintain their rule. But this key is the "degree" of harm.

When the "degree" of damage exceeds the limit that the people can bear, it will cause a fierce rebound. Only after the bureaucrats package it through dazzling means can they unscrupulously seize everything from them. However, once these warm masks are torn apart, the ugly truth will be revealed.

Nushan only paid twenty taels of silver to affect Aqing's life and death. Aqing could not get rid of him. Even Aqing was forced to hurt him slightly due to helplessness and anger, and was executed by Lingchi.

Such unfair things were taken for granted by the rule of law. But "not giving twenty taels of silver" was like a sharp bayonet, which hurt the hearts of these people and aroused a lot of righteous indignation.

This was originally a method of controlling the people, and Yuwen Jing himself was proficient in it, but this time he neglected it. It was also because of his negligence that Ye Xingyuan had completely mastered the initiative.

He sighed in disguise and listened dullly to Mo Jinshan's dying struggle, "The saint has a message, and if you run, you will be a concubine! Since the engagement is not established, buying a concubine is not established, but it is actually a couple between Aqing and Nushan for two years. This is the biggest evidence. She is still Nushan's concubine!"

Hearing this, Yu Wenjing was ashamed, and the roars of the people in his ears were even greater. This is indeed a key statement to determine the case, but it is almost a shameful person and an insult to the human race.

In this way, the civil servants who were targeting Ye Xingyuan completely stood against justice. Even if Ye Xingyuan lost this case, he would not lose the people's hearts and reputation.
