Chapter 250 Case Trial 3
Chapter 250 Case Trial 3
Su Yu straightened his back and said in a loud voice, "Just now, my Lord said that I and Uncle Wang set the fire together and caused the death of Mr. Tao, but the facts are absolutely not like that!
I have never had any grudges against the Tao family. In fact, I have always been a frequent visitor to their home."
At this point, Su Yu thought to herself that she was not just an ordinary customer, but a stable and important client of her family.
Then, Su Yu's gaze turned to Old Man Wang who was kneeling on the right, and he continued, "Besides, this Uncle Wang usually works as a servant in the Tao family. He is mainly responsible for carrying vinegar jars and other miscellaneous tasks. At least he can earn some money to make a living every month. How could he do such a foolish thing? Such behavior is tantamount to destroying his own livelihood with his own hands."
At this time, Old Man Wang nodded hurriedly in agreement: "That's right, sir, how could a commoner do such a thing that would ruin his own job."
The onlookers also started talking, "That's right, that's right. If this old man Wang harms the Tao family, wouldn't that be equivalent to murdering his own boss? How could he be so stupid as to destroy his own livelihood and throw away his own job? This matter is indeed a bit weird."
Another person also said, "Yes, yes, and didn't the storyteller say that it was Liu Ermaizi who coveted Tao's beauty, loved her but couldn't get her, and set the fire out of love and hatred? How come in this county government office, it became that it was Old Man Wang who set the fire out of love and hatred for Madam Tao?"
"Yeah, it's really weird!!".
At this time, everyone present started whispering and talking to each other again, and the scene was a little chaotic for a while.
County Magistrate Yang frowned, his face darkening. He slammed the gavel hard and shouted, "Silence!" The roar shook the entire courtroom slightly.
The originally noisy people outside were frightened and became quiet for a moment, but soon they lowered their voices and began to discuss in low voices what was happening in front of them.
County Magistrate Yang stared fiercely at Su Yu, who was kneeling in the hall. He squinted his eyes, glared at him fiercely, and asked in a cold tone: "Su Yu, this is just a sophistry of yours, right?" His tone was full of doubt and distrust.
Then, County Magistrate Yang shifted his gaze to Liu Ermaizi who was kneeling in front of him, raised his hand slightly, and signaled him to speak.
Seeing this, Liu Ermaizi hurriedly knelt and moved forward a few steps, then raised his head and said in a very loud and angry voice: "Your Excellency, what Su Yu said is a distortion of right and wrong. It is this old man Wang who has evil intentions towards Madam Tao and wants to forcibly molest her.
I, a lowly person, could not sit idly by when I saw injustice, so I stepped forward to stop it. However, I never thought that this cruel old man Wang would be so desperate that he would set fire to all the evidence and even caused the innocent and poor lady Tao to die in the sea of fire. Woo woo woo... "
At the end of his speech, Liu Ermaizi squeezed out a few tears, as if what he said was really the case.
As soon as these words were spoken, the crowd exploded again, with all kinds of exclamations and accusations coming one after another.
Someone shouted loudly: "Oh, if this is true, then this old man Wang is committing a heinous crime and cannot be forgiven by heaven."
Someone else asked anxiously: "Oh my God, I wonder how Madam Tao's daughter is doing now. Could she not have been spared?" For a moment, the entire court was filled with a tense and heavy atmosphere.
When Liu Ermaizi heard that the people outside were on his side again, his tone became tougher. He turned around and pointed at Su Yu who was kneeling behind him and said, "Sir, there is also Su Yu. He is a martial arts master and he helped this old man Wang to beat the three of us badly. Otherwise, we could have saved Madam Tao."
Perhaps he really remembered his life, Liu Ermaizi burst into tears while speaking, and he slapped the ground with his hands, looking crazy.
County Magistrate Yang shouted, "Su Yu, Wang Qiang, do you have anything else to say? Why don't you confess your guilt quickly?"
Su Yu said innocently: "Sir, I am just an ordinary scholar. How could I beat up these three big men so badly? I am afraid they are talking nonsense."
When Su Yu arrived at Xingfu Lane, Old Man Wang was almost unconscious, so he did not see Su Yu perform his Qinggong. Instead, after hearing what Liu Ermaizi said, he was filled with anger. He felt that this group of ruffians were simply picking on Master Su at will.
He cursed loudly: "Mr. Su is a scholar, how could he beat three of them alone? They are just talking nonsense."
Everyone thought it was an exaggeration. They pointed at Liu Ermaizi and the other two and said, "Yeah, Su Yu is just a scholar, how could he beat three of them alone? Besides, that fat guy could probably beat three Su Yus by himself."
"yes".
Seeing that no one believed him, Liu Ermaizi became anxious and said hastily: "Su Yu dropped the three of us from mid-air, and our legs are all injured."
As he said this, he pulled up his trouser legs, wanting to show them to everyone.
But no one believed what he said.
Not only did the common people not believe this, even County Magistrate Zhong, who was among the common people, did not believe it.
County Magistrate Zhong also murmured in a low voice: "This Liu Ermaizi is talking nonsense. How can this man fly?"
His daughter Zhong Qiaoer also said: "Yes, I'm afraid only birds can fly."
Mrs. Meng also said: "Yes, this person speaks without thinking."
It's no wonder they don't believe it. After all, people with superb martial arts skills like Anhuo are rare, and some people may never have seen one in their entire lives.
However, County Magistrate Yang had no intention of allowing this matter to have any more twists and turns at this moment. The only thing on his mind was to put an end to this case as quickly as possible.
After all, General Bai had no good feelings towards Su Yu, and this incident was undoubtedly a great opportunity for County Magistrate Yang to curry favor with the young general and climb up the ladder.
County Magistrate Yang frowned and said to Su Yu in the hall, "Su Yu, Su Yu, everything you said is just one-sided. Look at Liu Ermaizi and the other two. They are covered with scars all over their bodies. And look at you, you don't even have a single scar.
"Under these circumstances, how can I trust your words? Do you have any other strong evidence to prove your innocence? If not, I urge you to confess your guilt as soon as possible. Because of your voluntary confession, I might even consider leniency."
