Otaku Engineer in Great Tang Dynasty Chapter 1259: Public Trial Conference (Part 2)
Sheng Tang~! "
"Might... Wu...!"
A piece of gavel, a burst of "mighty" sound, I don't know how many ghosts and monsters have been shocked throughout the ages!
In the early morning of the second day, at the hour and three hours, the county government of Lantian County had been surrounded by the people in three layers and three layers. With Dai Xu's gavel, the public trial meeting was photographed. Finally started!
Speaking of today, Shaoqing of Dali Temple personally presides over the trial, making the people feel the importance of the court on this case, and they can't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"Bring Fan Tong and Fan Jianqiang to court!"
Above the court, Dai Xu, as the presiding judge, naturally took the first seat, followed by County Order He, and Li Zexuan, as an "auditor", sat in the first observatory on the side and became an audience member. Dai Zhou slapped the gavel again and shouted loudly.
"Bring Fan Tong and Fan Jianqiang to court!"
Naturally, someone spread his words far and wide. After a while, four yamen escorted the Fan Tong and Fan Jianqiang father and son into the court.
Compared with the vigorous and arrogant expressions of the past few days, the Fan family father and son are no longer in their spirits, especially when they see those sitting in the upper part of the court, wearing deep scarlet official uniforms (representing fourth-rank officials) Fan Tong was even more chilled after wearing 胄!
Because since the presiding judge is a grade four senior, it means that the court has begun to intervene in his case! And where can the things he did in the past stand up to investigation?
"The people in my class, but Fan Tong and Fan Jianqiang?"
Dai Xu's eyes flashed and he shouted in a deep voice.
Dai Zhou, who is in charge of the Dali Temple Penal Prison, has an aura that is not comparable to that of an ordinary local county magistrate. This loud shout made Fan's father and son panic.
"Report to Shangguan, the old man is Fan Tong!"
"...Yes! I...I am Fan Jianqiang!"
Fan Tong is still calm, and Fan Jianqiang was almost frightened by Dai's aura at the beginning, and he was a little stuttered.
"Okay! Fan Tong, this officer asks you, in the four years of Wude, have you been hoarding food with eight grain merchants and driving up food prices?"
Dai Zhou didn't talk nonsense, and went straight to the topic.
Fan Tong's eyes flashed, and he stepped forward and replied: "Thanks to Shangguan, Fan has always been honest in business, and has never done such a hoarding evil thing!"
"Huh! Toast, not eat or drink fine wine, come, pass the testimony-Hu Jinhua will come to the court!"
Dai Zhou sneered and ordered.
"Here!"
He has his own government officials to bring witnesses. Fan Tong, who is in the hall, suddenly changed his expression after hearing the words "Hu Jinhua".
After a while, a veteran brought an old man in a plain suit, and Dai Xu asked, "Hu Jinhua is the man in the hall?"
The old man in plain clothes said: "Go back to Shangguan, this is Hu Jinhua!"
"Hu Jinhua, this official asked you, six years ago, did you cooperate with Fan Tong and other grain merchants to drive up grain prices around the capital?"
Hu Jinhua said with a painful expression: "Returning to Shangguan, it is true! The old master Fan found Hu and others, saying that he was hoarding grain and grass and making huge profits during the drought and the war between the Tang and Turks. At that time, the price of food in the surrounding areas of the capital soared from three cents to ten cents! Not long after, the imperial court became aware that the Holy Spirit ordered the government to stabilize the food prices, and on the other hand, ordered the Lantian county magistrate to thoroughly investigate the drive up the food prices. Merchant!
At that time, Hu and a few others were all arrested, filled their family property, and were tortured with a rod. Only Fan Tong survived. Due to the power of the Sha County Order, after I was released, I immediately concealed my name. Do not dare to engage in business affairs! "
"Fart! You...you are talking nonsense! The old man never knew you!"
Fan Tong immediately got anxious, his eyes were red, and he wanted to take Hu Jinhua alive!
"Huh! Huh! There is also an account book where Master Fan and us purchased grain together. At that time, Master Fan didn't have enough money, so he borrowed a sum of money from Hu. The account book and IOU are all here. Does Hu have any? Nonsense, Shangguan knows at a glance!"
Hu Jinhua sneered, and took out two things from his sleeve, said.
"Hurry up!"
Dai Zhu quickly said.
The Ya Yai took the evidence from Hu Jinhua and handed it over to Dai Xu.
Dai Zhu opened a look, and then furiously said: "Huh! Bold Fan Tong, in the court, dare to deceive the officer! Now that the evidence and material evidence are there, what else do you have to say? Come, first Hold it down, the rod is twenty!"
"Yes!"
The two government officials suddenly rushed towards Fan Tong like a hungry wolf.
Fan Tong's souls are all dead. He has been pampered for so long, how can he withstand twenty rods? It was estimated that half of his life was gone after the fight, so he was busy:
"My lord, Fan pleads guilty! Fan knows his fault! I beg your sir!"
Dai Xu said coldly: "Hold it down and fight!"
For some people, this torture is tantamount to killing a mighty rod. If you don't hit it, he won't be honest!
"Boom!"
"Ouch! My lord, spare your life!"
All of a sudden, the county office was full of clubs and pleadings from Fan Tong, and the people onlookers outside the hall were so happy to watch!
A quarter of an hour later, Fan Tong was taken back to the court like a dead dog. Dai Zhu did not give him a chance to breathe, and said:
"Fan Tong, today the official asked you about the crimes, they are all personal and physical evidence. If you dare to conceal your sophistry, please stop blaming the official for being polite!"
Fan Tong's face was pale. Facing such a cruel court official, his body and mind were under tremendous pressure. At this moment, when Dai Zhu said this, he trembled:
"Fan dare not! Fan dare not!"
Dai Xu nodded and asked again: "The official will ask you again, Wu De five years, you gouliansha county magistrate embezzled other people's land and shops, is it true?"
"True... Fan pleaded guilty!"
"The officer will ask you again..."
"Fan pleads guilty..."
The next trial went smoothly. Fan Tong pleaded guilty to four counts in succession. Dai Zhu was thirsty when he said it. At this time, he pursed his mouth, his eyes condensed, and he said in a deep voice:
"In the six years of Wude, Baixing Village was attacked by horse bandits and encountered several massacres. Is it related to you? Are you afraid of the case of Bai Xiaodie~ IndoMTL.com~ Please help you nearby bandits Quit your mouth?"
Fan Tong, who had previously confessed guilty and confessed very happily, changed his face and hurriedly shook his head and denied: "Big...sir! This case has nothing to do with Fan! Fan is nothing but a merchant, how can he recognize anything Bandit? Great... Your lord Mingjian! Fan was wronged!"
He can confess other crimes, at most it is the dispossession of property and some punishment, but this crime, he is determined not to confess, because if he confessed, his wealth and life will be lost!
Seeing Fan Tong's refusal to plead guilty, the people outside the hall cursed quietly.
Dai Zhou's face was sinking, he darkened his face and said coldly: "My official will give you another chance, do you really confess guilt?"
Fan Tong, sweating profusely, said: "My lord, Fan is wronged..."
"Huh! I really don't cry without seeing the coffin! Come here, the witness Bai Yue and Fan Shicheng!"
