The first navigator of the Ming Dynasty

Faced with the testimony of a group of witnesses, Zheng Hai was a little blindsided, and he had been walking shit luck himself recently.

You must know that in ancient times, the people who investigated criminal cases were so powerful, he would definitely deal with those two men in black cleanly.

It's a pity that he was careless at the beginning!

The

presiding judge, Ge Xin, knocked on the shocking wood and asked sharply: "Prisoner Zheng Hai, can you plead guilty to their testimony?"

He looked at Lu Xing, Xu Miaojin and the others, and then at Ma He, hesitating and not knowing whether to admit it.

Before he took the initiative to admit to killing the man in black, but the Ming Dynasty did not confess to leniency, he dug a pit and jumped by himself. This time, he learned to be clever and first see if Ma He had any countermeasures.

There was another startling sound, and before Zheng Hai could get any hint from Ma He, Ge Xin had already asked loudly again: "Prisoner Zheng Hai, why don't you reply? Could it be that you want this official to execute you?"

Zheng Hai had no choice but to deal with it alone. He replied, "My lord, they are making false accusations!" "

Oh?" Ge Xin was a little curious, Zheng Hai even confessed to the murder, but did not admit these accusations.

"So many people testify against you at the same time, but you say that they are false accusations, how do you explain it? Do you want this official to invite other witnesses to come with you?"

Zheng Hai brushed his thoughts, he definitely couldn't scratch his beard and eyebrows, he needed to break them all down.

He first pointed to the beggar Wu Huaqing and said, "My lord, fighting is not a person's business, and a slap can't make a sound." It's not that I hit them, it's that they come and beat me.

Under the hint of Lu Xing's eyes, Wu Huaqing, the leader of the Huaqing Gang, stepped forward to refute Zheng Hai: "My lord, he is talking nonsense! More than 20 brothers from our

Huaqing Gang can testify!" "Prisoner Zheng Hai, do you have any witnesses?" Zheng

Hai heard the question of the chief judge Ge Xin, and hurriedly replied: "I have, Xiao Diyun can testify for me!" "I can testify,

my brother Hai is right! It's their Huaqing Gang..."

The beggar Wu Huaqing interrupted Xiao Diyun and said, "My lord, you can't believe what this little beggar says! He and Zheng Hai are in the same group!" "Then can you believe

the words of your Huaqing Gang? You are the leader of the Huaqing Gang, and your Huaqing Gang is also in a gang!" Zheng Hai immediately refuted Wu Huaqing's words.

Ge Xin and the other jury officials nodded their heads and looked at each other, feeling that their words seemed to make sense.

Lu Xing clasped his fists and saluted, with a proud face, and said calmly: "My lord, I just heard about it outside the hall. The little beggar was not under ten years of age, and he could not be a witness, he could not testify. "

Hmm!" The presiding judge Ge Xin nodded, looked at Zheng Hai and said again: "This is reasonable! Zheng Hai, do you have any other witnesses who can testify for you?"

Zheng Hai didn't expect this matter to turn out like this, his Sea Dragon Gang only had him and Xiao Diyun, where were there other witnesses!

Zheng Hai was stunned in place, not knowing how to answer. He looked at Xiao Diyun and Ma He, wanting to ask for help.

However, Xiao Diyun had a sad face, and Ma He was as dazed as Zhang Si from the palace court.

Looking at the others again, Xiao Xu Miaojin and Xiao Lan were indifferent to this matter. Lu Xing and the beggar Wu Huaqing looked happy and were gloating.

Zheng Hai could only shake his head at the chief judge

Ge Xin, and replied helplessly: "No!" "Do you have anything else

to say?" Ge Xin saw that Zheng Hai had nothing to say, and then looked at Wu Huaqing and asked: "Wu Huaqing, do you have any physical evidence that can prove that Zheng Hai beat you?"

"Yes! Xiaomin has evidence! Xiaomin's injuries were beaten by him, and many brothers in our gang have scars left by his beatings..."

The beggar Wu Huaqing said, rolled up his clothes and trouser legs, and showed the scars on his arms and legs to everyone.

I saw many scars exposed under the rolled up tattered clothes, and there were many long strips of bruises on Wu Huaqing's arms and legs.

Zheng Hai even found that some of the scars were very new, they were simply just beaten

! He looked at Wu Huaqing, who was suffering and aggrieved, and secretly scolded: "Why is this world so dark, even beggars play bitter tricks! What kind of evil did I create in my previous life? I've always been a top soldier since I joined the army! This time I'm like a cooking class—an old man with a black cauldron!"

"My lord! You must call the shots for us! Although I am a beggar, a beggar is also a human being! You see that he beat me like this... Our brothers in the beggar gang are more seriously injured than me

!" The beggar Wu Huaqing faked a fall, fell directly to the ground and cried, wiping his tears while stating: "Just because of him and this little beggar! They beat us, and they coerced us into handing over all our money and food..."

Although Wu Huaqing has physical evidence, this cry is somewhat suspected of performance and exaggeration. Ge Xin is a judge of the court, and this little trick can't hide from him.

Wu Huaqing saw that the presiding judge was a little impatient, and originally wanted to stop there, but Lu Xing glared at him.

Wu Huaqing said again: "My lord, it is precisely because of their persecution that my subordinates in the Huaqing Gang have no money or food, so they went to steal this girl's purse... This is all forced by this person!"

"You mean, the prisoner Zheng Hai forced you to steal?" Ge Xin's eyes lit up, this was another clue.

The little beggar walked out from behind Ma He and said loudly: "Nonsense! He said nonsense! Obviously, they stole it by themselves, so why do they rely on my brother Hai for everything! My lord

..."

"

Ying Tianfu Xu family?" Governor Zhao, who was on the jury, muttered in a low voice, and then whispered a few words in Ge Xin's ear.

Xiao Diyun explained again: "My lord, my brother Hai has never

...""Your words don't count...""

Xiaoyun!" Zheng Hai and Ma He called Xiao Diyun in unison.

"

Silence!"

Ge Xin knocked on the wood and pressed down the hall that was shouting into a pot of porridge.

This is the first time that Ge Xin has served as the presiding judge in the Yamen of the Prosecutor's Office, and he usually only assists the Inspector or the Deputy Envoy as a juror.

He has encountered many complicated cases, but he has encountered cases like this, and at the same time the cases of the two nobles of the Yan Wangfu and the Xu family of the Yingtianfu clan.

If this case were to be tried by the procurator or the deputy envoy, Ge Xin believed that they would definitely take into account the status and influence of the royal government and the Xu family, so it would be difficult to enforce the law impartially.

But he will not believe that he will enforce the law impartially.

As a traditional Confucian scholar, he adhered to loyalty and benevolence. Their Ge family has been faithful, benevolent and righteous since he was a child, and his father directly named him "Xin".

People do not stand up without trust, and the government should establish good credibility in adjudicating cases.

He is a principled parent, and he has the professional ethics of a judicial person.

He was not the presiding judge in the past, and he could not make the decision. But today is different, he is the presiding judge.

According to the procurator, Chen Ying has given him full authority to handle this case, and he will enforce the law impartially today, be impartial, and be upright

!" "This official doesn't care who your backer is, there is only one thing here for this official, and that is to act according to law!"

He looked at Xu Miaojin and Zheng Hai, and said, "This official doesn't care whether you are from the Xu family of Yingtianfu, or whether you are a servant of Yanwangfu or the leader of the beggar gang. This official only pays attention to one point and enforces the law impartially!" Lu

Xing didn't expect Ge San's uncle to be so ignorant of human feelings and sophistication, and he didn't know how to be an official.

However, Lu Xing regained his smile in a blink of an eye, and he was still in a good mood.

He secretly said: Isn't this just right? Even the Xu family and the Yan Wangfu are not afraid, so what else can affect Lord Ge! How can he, a beggar, escape this trial?

The judges of the jury were also surprised, but they didn't expect Ge to be like this...

"Your name is Xiaolan, right? You say, did they steal your purse with your young lady?" Ge Xin glanced at Xu Miaojin, and finally locked his gaze on the maid Xiaolan.

The maid Xiaolan told the story of the theft of the treasure money and purse that day.

Then, Xiaolan told what she had seen and heard about the baked cake stall, and told Zheng Hai about how she defeated the guards Ge San and Lu Xing, along with Zheng Hai's abduction of Lu Xing with a knife in Qingshou Temple.

According to the judge, Ge Xin vigorously knocked on the startled wood and shouted: "Prisoner Zheng Hai, there are all the human and physical evidence, what else do you have to say?"
