Dong Weimin's stern shout spread throughout the hall, and immediately there was a cry of surprise outside the hall, and the onlookers suddenly became interested.
One is the county's top criminal, and the other is a pretty widow. It would be interesting if these two really had an affair.
There was a flash of panic in Su Mingyue's eyes. Song Chi saw her cough dryly, then she lowered her head and continued to cry convulsively. She didn't dare to speak at all. Now she realized that she had thought too simply.
Don’t let the family property end up being lost and the reputation of the Song case being the top candidate ruined.
Song Chi was not panicked. He had thought about what kind of situation would arise before going to class. Dong Weimin was indeed a cunning old man.
Not only did he want Su Mingyue to fail in her fight for the family property, he also wanted to take the opportunity to destroy himself.
He had an affair with a widow and committed adultery, and instigated the embezzlement of other people's property. If he was convicted of this crime, he wouldn't be killed, but his reputation would certainly be ruined.
This is the strength of an eight-year veteran county magistrate. He can quickly seize your loopholes and weaknesses and counterattack.
Song Chi did not say anything. As the saying goes, if you want to accuse someone of a crime, you can always find a pretext. Now he is just a commoner, and there is no point in arguing. It is difficult to prove his innocence in such matters.
He wanted County Magistrate Feng to speak for him. Originally, the County Magistrate was trying the case, but the County Chancellor stole the limelight. This was the first time that the trial was held in public in front of the people, and Feng Yuan was stepped on like this, which only showed his incompetence.
If this was true, Song Chi no longer wanted to follow him. What future would there be in following an incompetent person?
"Bitch, answer this officer!"
Dong Weimin continued to ask questions. This was also a case-handling technique to use coercive questioning to break down the criminal's psychological defenses. He didn't ask Song Chi, but Su Mingyue.
Su Mingyue was terrified. It was true that she had some courage, but how could she remain calm in such a situation? However, she still remembered Song Chi's instructions, that is, she should talk less in class and just cover her head and cry.
“Bang!”
At this moment, Feng Yuan picked up the gavel and banged it, saying loudly: "Dong Weimin, I am presiding over the case, so you can speak. Otherwise, I will give you this seat."
He shouted angrily without even pretending to be polite. This was very direct and the best way.
The magistrate was a seventh-rank county magistrate and the undisputed leader. There was nothing wrong with him shouting at him, and Dong Weimin had just mentioned that there could be no delay and that the matter had to be stopped immediately.
Feng Yuan knew that his term of office was limited, so he had to be more courageous if he wanted to achieve political achievements.
The worst that could happen would be failure. He had already made preparations for the worst, so he had no scruples. Otherwise, he would be letting down the opportunity Song Chi had created for him.
Dong Weimin was a little confused for a moment after hearing such a harsh shout. He had been in the position of county magistrate for eight years, and every county magistrate had been polite to him, even Bai Yong who had already left office was no exception.
He was always the one who scolded others, but no one had ever scolded him. However, in front of so many people, Feng Yuan scolded them mercilessly in a superior manner, which was really hard for him to accept.
The hall was completely silent, and even the onlookers kept silent.
There seems to be a big conflict between the eldest master and the second master.
There was a fierce look in Wang Bao's eyes. He couldn't stand Dong Weimin being scolded like that.
"The lawsuit for the family property dispute has been concluded, and it was personally approved by you, County Magistrate Dong. Today is the public trial of Su Mingyue suing Sun Cheng for breaking into a private residence, taking human life, and attempting to rape. The two crimes are completely unrelated."
Feng Yuan didn't even give Dong Weimin a chance to speak. "County Magistrate Dong doesn't even understand the facts of the case, yet he randomly interrogates, scolds, and accuses the victim. How can he convince the public with this?"
Dong Weimin's face was gloomy and he took several deep breaths before he calmed down. A higher-ranking official can crush people to death. Although he had the final say in the county government and could restrain the county magistrate, the county magistrate was still the county magistrate and could scold him at will.
The Prime Minister promised that as long as Feng Yuan could be forced to leave office in a short period of time, he would be able to succeed him as county magistrate.
Dong Weimin was even more eager for the position of county magistrate. Although he was filled with endless anger, he still held it in and said, "Your Excellency the County Magistrate is right."
The reason why this matter is so passive is that Song Chi is secretly doing harm. This guy is really hateful.
Thoughts flashed through his mind as Dong Weimin continued, "Even if they are different lawsuits, they must be related. I have already reneged on the charge. The dispute over the family property is truly a family matter for the Sun family and should be left to the Sun family to discuss and decide. Later, Sun Cheng adopted his son, Sun Jiye, into Su Mingyue's care. The family is now harmonious, and the matter has been satisfactorily resolved."
"But within a few days, Su Mingyue went back on her word and even slandered Sun Cheng. This shows how bad this bitch's character is."
Dong Weimin personally came out to defend the Sun family. It seems that the second master will also play the role of "lawyer."
"Your Excellency the Magistrate, I am Attorney Su Niang. Can I bring Madam Su to answer your questions?" Song Chi took a step forward. It was his turn to speak.
"Of course."
Song Chi cleared his throat. "Mrs. Sun had previously filed a petition with the county government. According to County Magistrate Dong's ruling, she was about to accept the order from her clan members, but then the head of the Sun family, Sun Cheng, showed up with his evil servants."
"I don't need to go into detail about what happened that day. Many people can attest to this. Sun Cheng led his men to rob and break into a private residence, allowing his servants to smash and destroy the property. He even threatened to kill Madam Su. This constitutes the two gravest crimes of our dynasty: robbery and murder."
Having said that, Song Chi gave Su Mingyue another look, and she began to wipe her tears and cry again.
"It's obvious that it was you, a bitch, who wanted to take over the Sun family first, so Sun Cheng came to our house." Dong Weimin went to the Sun family last night to ask about it and knew the details.
"County Magistrate Dong, is this case to be tried by you or me? Do you want me to give this position to you?" Feng Yuan slammed the gavel again.
Dong Weimin was extremely embarrassed. With the master sitting in the main hall, he had no turn to speak and could only listen. However, he didn't expect Feng Yuan to not give him any face at all.
"A county magistrate is willing to be a lawyer, how shameful!"
Feng Yuan's words made Dong Weimin's face turn black. These words were really hurtful.
"Someone, bring Sun Cheng and his son up!" After he shouted, he stood up and prepared to bring them in himself.
Seeing this scene, Song Chi couldn't help laughing. County Magistrate Feng was determined to embarrass Dong Weimin to the extreme.
Dong Weimin quickly gave Wang Bao a look. He had to be cautious about the situation. It would not be good for him to get the reputation of forcing the county magistrate to work as a yamen runner.
"My Lord, I will go."
Wang Bao has been with Dong Weimin for a long time and he understood with just one look.
"This county magistrate cannot afford to trouble Captain Wang."
Feng Yuan didn't give them any chance at all. He quickly left and went to the side hall, but in a moment he brought the Sun father and son into the lobby.
Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. The people outside the hall were all staring at Dong Weimin. This county magistrate was so domineering that he forced the county magistrate into this state.
Dong Weimin had a gloomy face. Song Chi and County Magistrate Feng cooperated well with each other. He had suffered several losses in a row. At least the initiative was in their hands now. It would depend on whether Sun Cheng would be taken down by Song Chi.
"Bitch, you bitch, how dare you sue me!"
When Sun Cheng saw Su Mingyue in class, he immediately cursed her.
