"Well, Wang San, is there any circumstantial evidence for what you said?"
Although the reputation of women in this era is not as important as that of later generations, it is not a rag that can be trampled on at will. It is understandable to be embarrassed and angry when being humiliated. Gongsun Ming will not understand this either. Force.
"So that the general will know that Zhu Dagui, Liu Sanzhu, and Zhao Xiaogao from the same village as the villain can testify for the villain."
Seeing that Gongsun Ming did not question his mother-in-law again, Wang San was obviously relieved and quickly gave the names of three witnesses.
"Come on, bring Zhu Dagui, Liu Sanzhu, and Zhao Xiaogao!"
It was too weird for Wang San to be so relaxed, and there was obviously something fishy about it. However, when the case was unclear, Gongsun Ming couldn't find it in detail, so he followed the procedure of the case and picked up the gavel. Shoot, he shouted in a cold voice.
"The villain Zhu Dagui (Liu Sanzhu) comes to see the general."
Gongsun Ming gave such an order, and there was a loud roar. The guards quickly brought the two young men to the copywriter.
"Where is Zhao Xiaogao?"
Seeing that he only brought two pieces of circumstantial evidence, Gongsun Ming immediately frowned slightly and shouted in displeasure.
"Reporting to the general, Zhao Xiaogao was tied up by your order earlier."
Hearing Gongsun Ming's question, Zhu Dagui and Liu Sanzhu showed uneasy expressions on their faces almost at the same time. After quickly looking at each other, the thin Zhu Dagui gave the answer.
"Oh? Then there is no need to pass it on, Liu Sanzhu. I, the general, want to ask you, have you ever witnessed with your own eyes all the things Wang San said, huh?"
Gongsun Ming had previously suspected that there was something fishy about this case. Now when he heard that the man in yellow shirt who had been taken down earlier was one of the so-called circumstantial evidence, he felt a little more certain about his earlier guess, but He didn't say anything, and he had no intention of calling Zhao Xiaogao to the court in a hurry. He instead left the question to Liu Sanzhu, who was obviously awkward with words.
"me……"
Liu Sanzhu was originally just a person who made up the numbers. He originally thought that Zhu Dagui would handle the matter of testifying, so he could just go along with it. However, he never expected that Gongsun Ming would actually ask him to answer the question first. He was dumbfounded and refused. I hesitated for a while, but couldn't figure out why.
"General Mingjian, Liu Sanzhu has a clumsy mouth and keeps talking. Seeing your majesty, he can't even open his mouth. I can testify that this matter..."
As soon as he saw that Liu Sanzhu was stuck, Zhu Dagui was obviously anxious, and he interrupted him regardless, trying to take over the conversation.
"Shut up, did I, the general, ask you this? If you dare to speak randomly again, please be careful! Liu Sanzhu, I tell you, have you witnessed the whole story of this case with your own eyes, eh?"
Before Zhu Dagui could finish his words, Gongsun Ming picked up the gavel, slapped it hard, and scolded him unceremoniously. Zhu Dagui was so frightened that he hurriedly fell to the ground.
"No, never, villain, villain, I heard what Zhu Dagui said, villain, villain..."
Liu Sanzhu was a tall man and looked like a thug. He was very vicious when faced with kind people, but in front of Gongsun Ming who was full of murderous intent, he was just a little bug. He was only beaten by Gongsun Ming. Such a fright made him scared out of his wits on the spot.
"Zhu Dagui, you dare to lie in front of this general. You are so brave. Come on, drag him down and beat him fifty times!"
Upon hearing what Liu Sanzhu said, Zhu Dagui immediately panicked and opened his mouth to defend himself. However, before he could speak, Gongsun Mingji picked up the gavel tree and slapped it hard, with a thunderous sound. Then he gave an order.
"Sir, wait a minute. I have something to say. Liu Sanzhu has indeed never witnessed this with his own eyes. The villain and Zhao Xiaogao passed by Wang's Tavern in the evening. The wine bug was causing trouble. They wanted to have a few drinks, but they unexpectedly bumped into three military masters. He walked out of the tavern cursing, and the sound of Mrs. Wang San's howling could be heard inside. The villain and Zhao Xiaogao were frightened, and rushed into the shop. They saw Mr. Wang San lying on the ground, unconscious. When she woke up, Mrs. Wang San was crying in ragged clothes in the inner hall. The little people were anxious and were about to ask what happened. Liu Sanzhu happened to come to the tavern. The three of us first rescued Mr. Wang San and let him I went to ask Madam Wang Sanniang and I just learned the details. This is the fact. The villain is telling the truth and he would never dare to deceive the general."
Fifty big boards are so easy to take, let alone fifty big boards. If those soldiers were to attack him, with Zhu Dagui's small body, thirty big boards would kill him. Zhu Dagui could be killed right now. I was so anxious that I hurriedly told the so-called testimony in one breath.
"Come on, bring the defendant up!"
Zhu Dagui's words were extremely smooth, and they sounded very reasonable, but in fact, he had exposed a flaw without knowing it. However, Gongsun Ming was not in a hurry to expose his lies, and he did not question Liu Sanzhu again. He picked up the gavel and clapped it again, and then shouted loudly again. More than a dozen personal guards immediately agreed, and then they escorted the three sergeants to the desk.
"Yan Wu, the commander of the first division of the third division of Dingqu, Dingqu, the heavy logistics camp, comes to see the lord."
As soon as they saw Gongsun Ming's face, the three sergeants immediately knelt on the ground, and a middle-aged sergeant in the lead announced his home.
"Why did Mr. Yan come to Shanglan? Have you ever been to Wang's Tavern? What happened in the meantime, huh?"
Although it was clear that the Western sergeant must have been wronged, Gongsun Ming still had to ask the questions that should be asked according to the trial procedure.
"Returning to my lord, I was ordered to come here to prepare summer grain. I did go to Wang's Tavern on the way. Because the dishes they served were not to my taste, I didn't use any more and ordered a few dishes. The food hadn't been served yet, and the wine hadn't been opened. The subordinate said he didn't want it, but the store refused to let him. He insisted on paying the price according to the price. The subordinate was not angry and started arguing with the store. There was indeed a mutual exchange of opinions. Regarding the matter of shoving, of course, I would never dare to violate military rules and disciplines, let alone do anything indecent. I am unjustly accused of this, so please, my lord, make the decision for us."
Yan Wuji was in his early twenties and had been in the army for a long time. Because he had been seriously injured, he was now unable to go into battle and could only work in the logistics camp. He had always been cautious, but he never thought that he would be on official business this time. He actually got into such trouble that he was so alarmed that Gongsun Ming rushed over in person. He felt extremely bitter in his heart. As he spoke, he shed tears sadly.
"Well, Magistrate Cheng, when did Yan Shichang and others arrive at the county government office? Do they smell of alcohol on their bodies?"
Gongsun Ming did not comment on Yan Wu's statement. Instead, he looked sideways at Cheng Gao, who was sitting beside him, and asked a question in a calm tone.
