Chapter 405 Wind Direction
This man suddenly appeared, and the yamen runners were about to kick him out, but when these words came out, the yamen runners who were about to take action stopped and looked at Lu Yun for advice.
Lu Yun was obviously startled by the person who suddenly rushed in.
He slammed the gavel, "You daring and unruly people, you can't act wildly in the court. Come on, drag him down, what are you waiting for!"
The bailiff paused and rushed forward again.
The man immediately shouted at the top of his voice, "Sir , please help me. Ji Changming has killed someone. I am innocent. Ji Changming is the murderer. I have been wronged."
He shouted at the top of his voice. The words had already caused a lot of discussion among the people watching the trial outside. Now that Lu Yun was going to take the man down, along with the man's cries of injustice, the discussion outside became even louder.
Su Qingqing said nothing and just looked at Lu Yun as if she was watching a show.
Lu Yun's mind was completely focused on the fact that Ji Changming had poisoned someone. At this moment, he was startled and realized what the man had just shouted. He immediately broke out in a cold sweat and subconsciously looked at Su Qingqing timidly.
Su Qingqing didn't move at all, with a half-smile on her face.
Lu Yun wiped the sweat from his forehead, raised his hand and waved, driving the bailiff away again, and said to him, "Do you want to sue Ji Changming?"
The man was released by the yamen runners and regained his freedom. He knelt down not far from Su Qingqing's feet and said to Lu Yun, "I want to sue Ji Changming for killing my brother, forcibly occupying my sister, and for occupying my family's land. Please help me, sir."
Lu Yun glanced at Su Qingqing quickly.
He was almost certain in an instant that this person was arranged by Su Qingqing, otherwise it wouldn't be such a coincidence.
That……
Was Su Qingqing also able to arrange Ji Changming's poisoning? If so, Su Qingqing must have arranged it carefully. How could he find a breakthrough to clear Ji Changming's grievances?
Lu Yun's mind was racing with countermeasures, and his gaze was vague as he met Ji Changming's father's.
Ji Changming's father turned to the man and said, "You want to sue my son for forcibly seizing a woman and occupying your family's fertile land. Do you have any evidence?"
The man said, "Of course there is evidence. Without evidence, how dare I, a commoner, sue the young master of the Ji family? I drank so much after eating a few dishes."
Ji Changming's father asked, "What evidence do you have?"
The man said to Lu Yun, "Every year, the prefect redistributes the land and the records are kept. You can check which land my family has been allocated, and then actually inspect my family's land to see if it is consistent with the land allocated by the government.
As for my sister's matter, my sister is now in Ji's house. Doesn't this count as evidence?
Besides, my elder brother was beaten to death by Ji Changming's men. I have no evidence for this. I can only say that I saw it with my own eyes. As for the evidence, I'm afraid I'll have to trouble the prefect to check it out. After all, it's your duty to judge for the people. I have grievances to appeal, but I'm just an ordinary citizen and I don't know how to investigate cases and find evidence."
As he spoke, he pulled out a silver bag from his pocket and poured out all the money.
Pour out seven or eight silver ingots.
"This is the hush money Ji Changming gave me when my eldest brother was beaten to death. I didn't touch it at all. Of course, I guess this money can't be used as evidence. After all, money can't talk."
After saying this, he threw the silver bag to the ground and knelt there without saying anything else.
Ji Changming's father looked at the silver bag and the silver on the ground, his eyelids twitching.
This silver cannot be used as evidence, but the silver bag containing the silver can be used as evidence.
This silver bag belongs to Ji Changming, and it can be found out by just checking. As for what this person said, his sister is in Ji's family. Ji Changming did bring a little girl home last month and raised her as a concubine in the mansion.
Could it be that little girl?
For a moment, Ji Changming's father was a little panicked. Ji Changming's mother glanced at his father and said to Lu Yun, "It's impossible that Changming did this. Changming is usually not in tune, but at most he goes to the brothel to have fun. He would never do such a thing as robbing a woman. You said your sister is in my house, so tell me, who is your sister?"
The man was not afraid at all. "My sister's name is Liu Ya. Do you dare to say that there is no such person in your house?"
After saying that, he turned to Lu Yun and said, "Your Excellency is wise. If there is no such person, I am afraid that my sister will also meet with an accident. Please help me."
Ji Changming's mother asked, "Willow buds?"
As she said that, she snorted coldly and turned to face Lu Yun.
"My Lord, I want to sue this man for falsely accusing my father Chang Ming. Liu Ya was a maid that my family bought from a matchmaker for five taels of silver. We can go to the matchmaker to verify this. The indenture and the documents of the transaction should still be in the matchmaker's shop.
I don't know who instigated him to confuse right and wrong to accuse our head of the family Ming at this time, but I can guarantee that our head of the family Ming definitely did not forcefully abduct a woman."
After she finished speaking, she even glanced at Su Qingqing, and it was hard to tell whether it was intentional or unintentional.
Su Qingqing was unmoved and just sat there without raising her eyelids.
Ji Changming's mother then said, "As for the rumor that our eldest son Changming had his brother beaten to death, when did it happen? Why didn't they report it to the police then? Why did they wait until now?
Sir, my father Chang Ming would never beat anyone to death, let alone poison anyone. They are the ones who want to harm my son. Please make the decision for me.
Our Ji family has always lived in peace in Yulin, how come so many things are suddenly thrown at us?"
She spoke these words with full force and authority, and as soon as she finished speaking, the direction of discussion outside immediately changed.
Everyone knows that the Ji family is in Yulin, and they are great philanthropists.
It not only supports students, but also helps the pharmacy, bringing countless benefits to the people of Yulin every year.
Although the young master of the Ji family was a bit dissolute, he had never caused any big trouble. At best, he was just a womanizer and had no ambition to make progress.
But this is their own business and ordinary people have no right to interfere.
Now this...
Could it be that someone really framed the Ji family on purpose?
Why?
Although the common people don't understand politics, it doesn't mean they are stupid. They have all heard that the Queen Mother brought people to Yulin to collect grain.
Could it be that the Queen deliberately caused this incident in order to control the Ji family?
Otherwise, why would something happen to the Ji family right after the Queen arrived in Yulin?
Seeing the wind change, Mo Duo was about to speak, but the man next to him said, "Of course you have a contract to sell your body. Everyone knows that the pawnshop is a big business of your Ji family! It's your own business. Is it difficult to make a contract to sell your body and complete the transaction procedures?"
