As soon as the two sides came on the court, they made their attitudes clear.
The key lies in the crime of treason.
The procuratorate intended to charge everyone with treason, but the other party obviously refused to accept it, including Wu Tian.
This not only sparked heated discussions among the onlookers, but even Qi Ji was surprised. "I didn't expect their appetite to be so big that they even wanted to help Wu Tian clear the charge of treason."
Zhang Fei just smiled and said, "It's not illegal to talk about it. Besides, who is stupid enough to admit to treason? Even if there is irrefutable evidence, no one will admit it, because it may lead to the execution of the whole family!"
Qi Ji nodded, "That's true."
But this also aroused the expectations of everyone present, wondering how the crime of treason should be determined.
In fact, there is no specific answer.
It depends on how the government determines it. The key lies in people.
This is also the most anticipated point of this lawsuit.
...
...
After waiting for a while, Wu Tian saw that both sides had few opinions, so he said, "The prosecution cannot ask any more questions."
Zhang Fei said: "Qi Ji."
First of all, if the suspect doesn't even know where this place is, how can we dare to go out again and take hundreds of people with us?"
Xu Wu said, "Save his lover? What happened to his lover?"
Xu Wu subconsciously covered the back of his right hand.
"call...!"
After that, I stood up and asked Zhang Fei, "Zhang Fei! What's the name of the Lian sister he mentioned?"
Liu Lian turned around and asked Xu Wuning.
Liu Lian turned around and asked the older man, "Why didn't he tell you about this?"
"man?"
I immediately cheered up, hoping that I could escape the death penalty.
Liu Lian covered her forehead in frustration.
That person was the salt merchant Li Leidao had just mentioned who was also robbed. My experience was exactly the same as Li Leidao's, and among the property that was robbed from me, there was not a single jeweled belt.
Zhang Fei hurriedly said: "Only a few of them are sworn brothers, the rest are... all in your hands."
Wang Gong asked, "He grew up in Chunhua Tower because he is so arrogant?"
Liu Lian asked again: "Since the opponent is so weak, is he afraid that he will lose his life?"
Da Nian shook his head and said, "Sister Lian is so mean that she seems to have no relatives. It's just that you don't see Sister Lian secretly meeting with a woman every day."
This was my first time seeing the public security, procuratorial and judicial departments. In the past, criminals like me had to kneel down, and it was impossible to remove the wooden shackles.
Wang Gong ignored me and called down another witness named Chen Yuanhai.
Wang Gong laughed and said, "Don't cover it, the young judge has seen it."
But that night, you drank a lot, and you were also bewitched by Qi Ji, who even wanted to marry you as his concubine. You also told Qi Ji about your itinerary.
It was when Wu Tian spoke that Wang Gong said, "Take back that word."
Xu Wuning said: "You will be a salt merchant in Binzhou in the future, but now you are farming outside the village."
Wang Gong said: "So that night he and his sworn brothers took several hundred men and ran to the secret military camp of the Imperial City Division to rescue his old man."
Xu Wu immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and a glimmer of hope suddenly ignited in his desperate expression.
Da Nian shook his head and said, "You are an orphan. You were picked up by Sister Chunhua and raised by her."
"How do you deal with this?"
Two court guards came down immediately and helped Xu Wu remove the wooden shackle from under him.
The same thing was also found during the house search by the tax police.
There were two court police officers accompanying him.
We know all about this.
After saying this, I presented the sable fur coat to Xu Wu.
In that question, I actually added another charge to Zhang Fei, that I kidnapped someone else's son, but at the same time, it also let the judge know a piece of information, that Zhang Fei had risked his life for my lover several times.
Wang Gong said to Zhang Fei: "The facts prove that he did not get to know Qi Ji four years later, but had known him for a long time, and had been looking for prey through Xu Wu. The interests between him and Qi Ji far outweighed the feelings, and he saved Qi Ji at the cost of his life, just because Qi Ji had evidence of his crime.
Wen Yanbo nodded slightly.
Zhao Pin frowned and questioned, "Is that explanation acceptable?"
Xu Wu also took advantage of the situation and said, "Thank you, young judge."
Xu Wu said: "Of course, who doesn't have hundreds of brothers?"
"Grand Judge!"
It’s a pity that she is a woman known for her meticulousness!
Secondly, the suspects don’t even know that it was the Commissioner of Taxation who arrested my lover, and it is possible that the Commissioner of Taxation locked someone up outside someone else’s home.
Dani nodded, "Yes."
Even though Wang Gong asked those questions in an understated manner, if you interpret them as bad, that alone would be enough to convict Zhang Fei of treason.
Zhao Xu, who was standing in the corridor, snorted heavily. "So he is extremely powerful?" He had seen the world.
Wang Gong asked, “Really?”
Da Nian nodded and said, "When you were ten years old, you helped to welcome guests and serve wine."
Sir, his praise was not excessive. Wang Gong explained with a smile: "First of all, this is also a training ground for the imperial army.
Wang Gong said to Xu Wu, "That was found by the tax police in Xu Wu's stronghold. And according to the testimony of Zhang Fei's close associates, Zhang Fei wore that mink coat every winter. Even if it was not worn out, he would throw it away. Few people can prove that."
Li Guozhong: "It is possible. If the other party did not refute it, they would directly call the witness. It must have nothing to do with Qi Ji."
Wang Gong said: "Actually there is none."
Zhao Pin was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "Why am I asking that?"

What kind of evidence would make him take such a risk and lead hundreds of people to break into the military camp?"
Li Lei said: "You lost two thousand strings of copper coins and silk, and you also lost a very valuable mink fur coat."
Wang Gong took the box, opened it, and took out a mink fur coat from the outside, "But that one."
Besides, for a criminal like that, giving me the chance to go to court is already a great favor.
Liu Lian suddenly stood up and said, "The wooden shackle and iron chain will affect your client's testimony. For the sake of fairness, I beg the young judge to remove your client's restraints."
Zhao Pin and Li Lei looked at Xu Wu with great curiosity, wondering how Liu Lian would respond.
Wang Gong asked again: "Did they all go there unarmed?"
Zhang Fei nodded, "Yes."
Wang Gong asked, "Does that brother refer to a biological brother?"
Li Lei said: "It must be you."
Wang Gong sat on it.
Zhang Feidao was scratching his head in frustration, and said with emotion: "That bandit is really nostalgic! He was able to keep the stolen goods for so long. The local government is really capable!"
Zhang Fei suddenly said, "You spent a lot of money to buy that mink fur coat."
Zhang Fei looked at Li Lei again, his brows furrowed.
Zhang Fei thought Wang Gong was not crazy. You are a bandit, do you dare to ask the tax department? He shook his head and said, "No."
Wu Tian said: "Praise is useless. The witness is answering the question."
"You approve."
Wang Gong asked, "Does the minister have a surname?"
Is it a human?
Xu Wuning's eyes flashed with anger, "Originally it should have been so, but because of a man, your family was almost destroyed, and now your family is only a seventh-class household."
Wang Gong asked: "Why does he say that?"
Xu Wu asked again: "So he doesn't have hundreds of them?"
"You approve."
Wu Tian nodded, "The approval is effective."
Wang Gong tilted his head and took a look. "Exhibit No. 18."
"Who is Hu Wanggui?"
"Because... you're also a little vague."
Wang Gong asked, "Is it Sister Chunhua, the madam of Chunhua Tower?"
Wang Gong immediately turned over the right corner of his clothes and showed it to Xu Wuning.
Zhang Fei asked, "Did you go there with your brother?"
The other party, Liu Lian, also looked bewildered and confused.
Li Guozhong nodded and said, "We have already come to the court, so don't worry too much. The better we perform, the safer we will be."
With his big earring pen, can he teach the young judge how to do things?
Li Lei looked at it for a long time and said, "You are too vague, but your mink coat is very unrecognizable. There is no embroidery of your Hu family brand on the right corner of the coat."
Brother! When did our procuratorate investigate so deeply?
"yes."
Liu Lian said excitedly: "You mean Qi Ji was also involved, and no one has ever sued the authorities for this."
But now, even though the wooden shackles have been removed, he still cannot sit and await trial. That’s the treatment...
Wang Gong asked: "Li Leidao, what does he do?"
Zhang Fei answered.
Liu Lian sat on it.
Zhang Fei secretly glanced at Li Lei, with confusion in his eyes.
Wang Gong asked, "Does he know that Qi Ji has no relatives around him?"
That question really confused Xu Wu. He was stunned for a moment, "Sworn brother... sworn brother."
Da Nian nodded and said, "At that time, Sister Lian often gave you some money, but the condition was not to help you find some local merchants. Because at that time you were specifically welcoming guests at the door, helping them find seats, and looking for prostitutes."
Liu Lian sat on it.
“He continued.”
Xu Wu glanced at Zhang Fei, and quickly let go of his left hand, only to see that there was indeed no scar on the back of my right hand.
Zhang Fei said: "You know, but you and Lianmei fell in love at first sight, you may abandon you, and you have no choice, because the official is a private salt dealer, and my godfather is not the county lieutenant of Qiancheng County in Qizhou, with overwhelming power, you can only use that method."
Da Nian said: "Then you are Xiao Ranran, maybe the merchants here are very poor."
Li Guozhong: "So he is the lover who saved him the first time."
Wang Gong said: "I heard that salt merchants are very poor. He must not have much farmland at home now, right?"
Zhang Fei nodded, "You probably met Lian Mei four years later......!"
"???"
Xu Wu said: "What exactly happened? Can he tell me more about it?"
Wang Gong asked, "Does he know the person who robbed him?"
Da Nian nodded and said, "I know you, I know you. You are a prostitute in Chunhualou. Among all the prostitutes, you have the worst relationship with Sister Lian."
"Ha ha!"
"yes."
Xu Wuning said: "I remember that four years later, you went to Qizhou to sell salt. You made some money during that time. You were young and energetic at that time, so you went to the local Chunhua Tower to drink. Outside, you met a drunkard named Qi Ji.
"Has he asked the tax commissioner about this?"
Liu Lian stood up and said, "The other party's words are trying to lead me to believe that Qi Ji has evidence of your client's treason, but that is totally unfounded. According to the confession just now, Qi Ji may only have evidence of Zhang Fei's robbery."
The older man said, "You are also vague. The witness should be related to Qi Ji."
Xu Wu asked again: "Did he go there alone that night, or with several people?"
"Are you okay for now?"
who?
The seven of you went to Chunhua Tower again, looking for Qi Ji, and learned that you had not left Chunhua Tower yet. Then you went to the government office to file a complaint, but the government ignored you and ended up letting it go. "
Li Lei and Zhao Pin looked at each other.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
Wang Gong asked, "Does he know why Qi Ji asked him to find some local merchants for you?"
Wang Gong stood up and asked, "Xu Wu, what is he doing on the evening of the 71st of next month?"
There was a burst of laughter in the yard, but it was small because the few people there were all very relaxed.
I asked Zhang Fei the same question again, except that I removed the Imperial City Division and replaced it with a special military camp.
Li Lei nodded and said, "It's yours. That's not your mink fur coat."
Liu Lian immediately stood up and said, "The other party is deliberately trying to lure your client to answer. Your client knows that this is the secret military camp of the Imperial City Bureau, and according to your investigation, there are very few people in the entire Qizhou who know that this is the secret military camp of the Imperial City Bureau."
"You've finished your questions."
Xu Wuning: "He knew that what he did was illegal, and it could even be a capital crime."
Zhang Fei thought carefully about what he had been told recently, and then said, "This night...this night you go and save your lover."
An inspector immediately handed Xu Wu a very valuable box.
People in our line of work have to transport money everywhere, and they must keep their whereabouts secret.
Da Nian shook his head and said, "You only saw a profile at the time, but you remember that this woman had no tattoos on her face, and there was no scar on the back of her right hand."
Xu Wu suddenly opened his eyes and looked at Xu Wu Ning again.
Zhang Fei nodded and said, "Before this night, you hid Lianmei in a nunnery, but this official found her and sent people to capture her. Before you knew this, you secretly kidnapped the official's son and exchanged Lianmei for her."
Li Lei said: "You think it doesn't make sense. In some disaster-stricken areas, the people rushed into the checkpoints set up by the imperial guards in order to survive, but that can also be considered a crime of treason."
Wu Tian frowned slightly, then looked at Wang Gong. Seeing that Wang Gong didn't say anything, he thought for a while, nodded and said, "Although what the defense said is unreasonable, given that the suspect is very safe and has no murder record, the presiding judge can only remove the wooden shackle from under him."
Xu Wu asked again: "Why did the tax commissioner arrest his lover?"
Liu Lian stood up again and said, "Your client didn't know that this was a military camp."
Li Lei said, "In fact, you didn't realize it at first. It was two years ago when you met a bad friend who was also a salt dealer. He learned that I was also robbed on the way back to Binzhou from Qizhou. At the same time, I also went to Chunhua Tower and met the prostitute Qi Ji there. Only then did you realize that Qi Ji might be in cahoots with this group of robbers.
As he was speaking, a middle-aged man in his early seventies came down from the courtroom and sat in the witness chair.
Wang Gong then said to Xu Wu, "Little Judge, you call the first witness, Li Leidao."
"With weapons?"
Liu Lian is good at everything.
"Then Sister Lian is not his lover?"
I glared at him fiercely. He has the worst relationship with Sister Lian, and he actually betrayed you?
Following Wang Gong, another person came who was about seventy-seven or seventy-seven years old and whose name was Da Nun.
There was an uproar immediately.
The first one to come up was of course the number one criminal Wu Tian, worthy of being the legendary playboy. As soon as he came up, he immediately became the focus of the whole audience. He was about 40 years old, wearing prison clothes, a wooden yoke around his neck, and iron chains on his feet.
"You approve."
Wang Gong asked: "Does he still recognize this woman now?"
Wang Gong smiled and said, "Your focus is on me leading the troops to break into the military camp, and our focus is naturally on saving people."
The old man said in a guilty tone, "How could I ask so many detailed questions? Who would have thought that we could find out what happened four years later? I guess Zhang Fei himself has forgotten it."
Under the spotlight, Xu Wu stood up and asked, "Zhang Fei, can he tell me about his relationship with his lover?"
It can be seen that our goal is very clear. It is not to avoid the crime of treason, but to accept nothing else.
Next, it’s time to question the confession.
Xu Wuning shook his head, and I looked at the older man next to me.
Li Leidao shook his head and said, "We all had our faces covered at the time."
Xu Wu was firm for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Yes, yes."
"Uh... not swords or anything like that."
This is the first time such a situation has occurred in the imperial court.
According to the evidence provided by Qizhou, Zhang Fei did retreat from the military camp at that time in order to save my lover.
Xu Wu glanced at Xu Wu first, then nodded, "Yes."
"Um!"
Many officials also showed joy on their faces.
"Yes."
Zhao Pin immediately realized something, and then he looked at Liu Lian again, thinking, it seems that the methods of those Erbi are better than yours!
The old man asked, "Did you tell him that Zhang Fei made his fortune by robbing people on the road?"
Wang Gong asked: "So you don't have hundreds of sworn brothers?"
Zhao Pin and Xu Wu also looked at Wang Gong in amazement.
Zhang Fei nodded and said, "At that time, Lian Mei was a prostitute in a brothel, not a drinking companion. I remember one day you went to Chunhua Tower to drink, and happened to meet an official who wanted to favor you and wanted to pull you out of the house. You felt sorry for Lian Mei, so you helped her, beat up the official, and then ran away with Lian Mei."
Then Wang Gong asked Li Lei, "Did he lose any property?"
Xu Wu said: "What kind of relationship is this brother he mentioned?"
Wang Gong said: "That doesn't mean he met Qi Ji by chance four years later."
I asked myself if I had been detailed enough, and thought of using an incident four years later to exonerate Liu Lian. I was still complacent at the time, thinking that I must have thought more carefully than Wang Gong. How could I have imagined that Wang Gong would directly investigate four years later.
Wang Gong asked, "Is he acquainted with a singing girl named Xu Wu?"
Wang Gong asked again: "So he thinks that Qi Ji revealed his whereabouts."
As a result, on your way back, you encountered a group of robbers who robbed you of all your money and property."
"What weapon?"
Zhao Pin looked at Wang Gong again and said, "It seems like you have no preparation for this matter."
That can't be considered a first.
Zhang Fei shook his head, "I'm afraid."
Zhang Fei said: "You were caught by the tax commissioner."
Lu Gong stroked his beard and said, "Perhaps you should really change your view of those Erbi. In the public security, procuratorial and judicial systems, if we continue to be like this, we will only know how to be sneaky and cunning, and even less use wisdom."
Li Lei looked back at Li Guozhong.
