Chapter 105 Interrogation
In addition to the parties present, the yamen was also crowded with people who came to watch the excitement, staring at the few people in the center of the hall with curious eyes, and the curious light flashed in their eyes.
Chen Ling'er, who was originally aggressive, was stunned immediately after hearing Gu Lang's words, her beautiful eyes looked straight at Gu Lang, as if she didn't understand what he was talking about, and murmured: "You What are you talking about?"
Gu Lang didn't come here to talk nonsense with her this time. Seeing her like this, he didn't say much. He went straight to the county magistrate, bowed his hands to the county magistrate who was sitting at the head, and said loudly: "Caomin is standing here today. It is to sue Miss Chen Si under the hall for burning down our store, and I hope the county magistrate will see clearly and uphold justice for grassroots people!"
Hearing Gu Lang's words, Chen Ling'er was shocked, and suddenly raised her head to look at him with shock in her eyes.No, it's impossible, she thinks that things are done in secret, and it's impossible for Gu Lang and the others to know.
Chen Ling'er comforted herself like this, but looking at the swearing Gu Lang over there, another secret thought emerged in her heart, that is, Gu Lang and the others knew, they knew what they had done.
"fart!"
Before Gu Lang could say anything else, someone yelled loudly not far away in the hall, and then heard that person say one after another: "My daughter is just a girl, how can I set fire to the shop? I see You clearly have a grudge against my Chen family, that's why you slandered me indiscriminately."
Everyone followed the reputation, and saw that the person who refuted was that old master Chen. At this time, his eyes were wide open, and he looked at Gu Lang with a fierce look in his eyes, as if he had some deep hatred with Gu Lang.
Unexpectedly, when faced with Master Chen's accusation, Gu Lang not only did not lose his composure, but showed a look of optimism, "Oh, if that's the case, then Master Chen might as well tell me, I'm a grassroots person, why don't you Then you can't think about it, you want to fight against your family, master?"
Master Chen only felt that the eyes of the people around him were all focused on him. There was curiosity, scrutiny, and even a bit of mockery in those eyes. He suddenly had a thought that he must never tell the truth. What a glorious thing.
However, when Master Chen met Gu Lang's half-smile gaze, his suppressed anger rose again.Gu Lang is just a poor scholar, or a poor family with no foundation, why should he be afraid of him as a rich man in the city?Thinking about this point clearly, Master Chen didn't go to look at Gu Lang, but turned his head to look at the county magistrate in the hall, and cupped his hands, "County magistrate, I didn't want to say these things, but this Gu Lang is really deceiving people too much, so I have to make things clear.
Our Chen family and the Gu family were old friends, and we also made marriage arrangements for the children in the family back then, but Gu Lang has been away for many years, and he has become unfamiliar with my family since he came back.My daughter was unwilling to marry him, so I agreed to it because I loved her dearly.
But later, I took into account the harmony between our two families, so I married another concubine brother to him.Who knows that he has always held a grudge in his heart, and he is brooding over the fact that I didn't marry my daughter to him, and today's incident just happened.
Although the people who got married didn't agree with Gu Lang at the beginning, we still fulfilled the agreement.Who knows, after such a long time, he not only held a grudge against this matter, but also made up such a far-fetched lie to slander my daughter, which is really shameless.I also hope that the magistrate of the county will see clearly and give my daughter justice! "
Chen Xing was listening to Master Chen's half-truth and half-false, confounding black and white, but citing the whole story to Gu Lang's fault, clenched his fists angrily.No one knew better than him what happened back then. It was precisely because of this that when he heard what Master Chen said, he felt that Master Chen was the most shameless person.
Just when Chen Xing couldn't help but wanted to confront Master Chen, he felt his hand being patted lightly by someone. He turned his head and looked over, only to see Gu Lang staring at him. At that time, he shook his head slowly towards himself, as if to signal himself not to be impulsive.
The moment Chen Xing hesitated, the majestic voice of the magistrate came from above, and he said calmly: "Chen Bingsheng, are you responsible for what you said?"
Chen Bingsheng is Mr. Chen's name. Hearing the words of the magistrate at this time, Mr. Chen had some bad premonitions in his heart for some reason, but he still felt that someone like Gu Lang had no power and power, and he couldn't figure it out. When the storm came, he said firmly: "Caomin, I am willing to take responsibility for what I said."
The magistrate nodded, then turned to look at Gu Lang who was standing there, and asked, "Gu Lang, is what Chen Bingsheng said true?"
Gu Lang glanced at Master Chen, saw that he was staring at him closely, stood up without any fear, and said loudly: "The student is willing to use his identity as a candidate as a guarantee. What Master Chen said is definitely not the truth. I return to The family knew that I had no relationship with Miss Chen, so they came to withdraw their marriage in person, and only hoped that the Chen family could return the dowry gift that my family gave in the past. However, the Chen family refused and married Chen Xing to me. I have no objection to this , and I don't have the slightest thought of Miss Chen."
As soon as Gu Lang's words came out, there was a burst of commotion in the crowd. After all, what is Juren's status?But Juren is hard to find. The only two Juren lords in their county are now over 40 years old, and they are quite respected locally.
Gu Lang is only in his early twenties now, if he can continue his studies, his future will definitely be limitless.However, a person with such an identity is now using his own identity to gamble, and everyone in the hall couldn't help believing what he said, and looked at Master Chen with extraordinarily complicated eyes.
However, Mr. Chen had no time to care about the gazes of the people around him. He just stared at Gu Lang in front of him, and said in disbelief, "You, you are actually a juren? Since you have such a reputation, why didn't you reveal it when you came to my Chen family? A star and a half?"
When Master Chen asked such a question, he was also very angry in his heart, and he didn't know what he was angry about.
Gu Lang curled his lips lightly, and said flatly: "It's just a bad name, what's the difference between saying it or not? Or did Master Chen change his mind when he knew I was a Juren?"
Master Chen's complexion turned livid at Gu Lang's words, how could there be no difference?If they knew Gu Lang's identity back then, how could their family treat him like that, and how could their family lose a son-in-law for nothing!
However, Gu Lang ignored the ugly Mr. Chen, nor did he look at the common people who came to join in the fun, but turned his head to look at the magistrate above, and continued:
"I don't have any so-called unreasonable thoughts about Ms. Chen. Now that I'm standing here, I just want to get justice for my innocent shop that was burned."
Chen Ling'er, who had become a little dull because she heard that Gu Lang was a juror, now heard his words and stared at his standing figure silently. Eighteen layers of hell.
"Since I dare to sue Ms. Chen, it is naturally because I have solid evidence. I hope the county magistrate will let my witness go to court and ask her to prove that what I said is true."
The county magistrate nodded, and then waved to the servants who were waiting beside him, asking them to bring up the witnesses that Gu Lang spoke of.
Soon a slender figure staggered in with the support of the official.
Her appearance made Chen Ling'er, who was a little bit unpredictable, immediately showed a look of panic on her face. The arrogance just now was gone, and now she was replaced by a look of panic.
When the man came to the hall, he first saluted the county magistrate above him, and then knelt there.
Gu Lang took a step forward, and under the suspicious eyes of everyone, he loudly announced the person's background, "Her name is Cui'er, and she was originally the maid beside Miss Chen's family, and she was the one who went with Chen Ling'er back then." We set fire to the restaurant.
Later, in order to destroy the body and traces, Miss Chen beat the servant girl half to death, and asked the woman in the mansion to sell her.If we hadn't discovered it in time and rescued her, she might be dead by now. "
The people around took a breath, and looked at Chen Linger with a little more fear. They never thought that this seemingly weak Miss Chen family would have such a heart of snakes and scorpions. horrible.
Hearing the buzzing discussions around, the magistrate slapped the gavel, then looked at the maid who was kneeling there, and said loudly: "Is what Gu Lang said true? Hurry up and tell the truth! If you dare to lie, This official will punish you severely!"
His words made Tweety tremble.
Cui'er raised her head, glanced at Chen Ling'er from the corner of her eye, and saw that she was looking at her with resentment, which made her tremble in fright.She didn't dare to look any further, so she quickly turned her head to look at the magistrate above, and said honestly:
"Yes, the lady asked me to burn the shop with her, saying it was to get revenge on the two bosses of the Chen family hawker. That night, I stood outside the door, and the lady went in to set the fire. After setting the fire, we left .”
"You're lying, it's not like that, you're lying, I'm not!" Chen Ling'er rushed towards her, her eyes seemed to want to eat her alive, "I should have killed you when I drove you out , I won’t let you harm me now!”
Cui'er looked at the crazy Chen Ling'er, and silently moved away from her, as if to prove that she was not lying, she looked at the county magistrate above, and hurriedly said: "I didn't, what I said is true, That night we also threw things for the fire into the river not far from the small restaurant."
As soon as Tweety's eager words fell, there was another commotion at the gate of the yamen, and then two officials came in with a long wet colander in one hand and a small cloth bag in the other.
"Master County, we really found this thing at the place she said!"
Chen Ling'er looked at the cloth bag, and suddenly stopped all movements, her body became limp all of a sudden, and even her expression was much weaker than before.
The county magistrate took a look at the wet cloth bag, put his gaze on Chen Linger below, and said in a deep voice, "Chen Linger, do you know this thing?"
