The reborn son cursed his mother, bah, she heard it all

Jiang Ying went to find Zhu Rong mainly to confirm whether he was really willing to be a witness?

Doctor Zhu said firmly, "I'll go!"

Jiang Ying nodded, "I understand. I will prepare the medicine that Doctor Zhu wants in advance. In addition, as long as Doctor Zhu does not go back on his word, no matter whether my second brother can find a plant of Longyan grass for Doctor Zhu, I promise to give Doctor Zhu a plant. Is that okay?"

She has Longyan Grass in her space, and its quality is countless times better than the ones outside.

Just think of it as a reward for honest people.

Hearing this, Doctor Zhu was so happy that he was speechless, and a light flashed in his cloudy eyes.

As Jiang Ying left, he murmured to himself, "I knew it was right to trust her. From the first time I met her, I knew she had a good heart. Good people will be rewarded. My old girl is finally saved!"

……

Now that Doctor Zhu has been confirmed, along with Xiangcao, Xiangzhang and Sun Jian, there will be no problem with the witnesses.

As for the evidence, since Sun Bo was not beaten to death by Jiang Yuanlang, the evidence naturally has nothing to do with the murder weapon and can be ignored.

Jiang Ying had already arranged the real cause of death in the final autopsy in advance to ensure that there would be no mistakes on the day of the trial!

She found Jiang Yuanchen and said, "Second brother, Lord Zheng just sent someone to inform us that the court session will start at 9:00 pm the day after tomorrow. We will accompany Third Brother to the court at that time, but how about you be the chief defense lawyer? I will write a speech tomorrow, and you can follow it or read it yourself and argue your case for Third Brother!"

Jiang Yuanchen was stunned when he heard this, puzzled, "Why is this? Sister, can't you explain it?"

Jiang Ying waved his hand, "I'm tired and don't want to argue. You go ahead. It can be considered as a way to exercise your courage."

Jiang Yuanchen, "..."

What courage does he need to build up? He has always been very courageous.

But since my sister needs it, I will go through fire and water for it without hesitation!

Little did he know that Jiang Ying just thought that he spoke too little on weekdays. Going to court could exercise his courage and eloquence, and it could also relax him. Why not do it?

Jiang Yuanchen not only agreed, but was also very considerate, "Sister, take a good rest if you are tired. I know what to say in class, so you don't need to write it out."

Jiang Ying raised his eyes, and the brother and sister looked at each other silently for a few seconds, smiled at each other, and understood each other.

In a blink of an eye, the day of the trial finally arrived.

In the hall, the prefect Zheng Yao sat in the middle, and behind him stood the legal advisor.

On both sides, whether they were members of the Jiang family or the Sun family, they all stood, and the total number of family members and lawyers present could not exceed three.

The plaintiff from the Sun family is on the right, and the defendant from the Jiang family is on the left.

The people who came to the Sun family were Sun Dingji and a strange middle-aged man in black, holding a black folding fan. They should be the lawyers hired by the Sun family.

On the left, Jiang Ying is neither humble nor arrogant, while Jiang Yuanchen is dressed like a scholar in a moon-white robe, looking straight ahead, with a shrewd look.

"Open the court!" Zheng Yao gave the order, his official manner giving off a cold and inhuman look. "Today, I have been ordered to try the case of Sun Bo's murder. The plaintiff, Sun Bo's father, Sun Dingji, is a third-rank supervisory censor of our dynasty. The defendant, Jiang Yuanlang, is the youngest son of a first-rank duke of our dynasty. Now, the judges from both sides will introduce their identities and read their petitions."

This was also Jiang Ying's first time attending a court session here. It looked a bit like a modern courtroom.

With just a few words, the identity verification process was over. After all, such a murder case caused a huge stir, but no one dared to impersonate and seek death.

During this time, everyone in the hall was quiet and there was no noise at all.

All the whispers and the sounds of jostling and hustling came from the yamen gate, where there were crowds of onlookers in three layers inside and outside.

Zheng Yao slammed the gavel to shock everyone, and looked sharply at the man in black.

"Plaintiff's lawyer, please read the complaint."

The man in black took out the complaint from his sleeve with a professional attitude and said directly without any nonsense: "This case is caused by Sun Bo and Jiang Yuanlang fighting each other in Tianxiang Tower on the 17th day of last month this year. The scene was chaotic that day and many people saw the fight between the two and can testify.

Afterwards, Sun Bo fell into a coma, and Jiang Yuanlang was taken away by his brother. On the eighth day, Sun Bo died at home. His father, Lord Sun Dingji, reasonably suspected that Sun Bo's death was due to Jiang Yuanlang's heavy beating that day, which caused his internal injuries to die. Therefore, Lord Sun sued Jiang Yuanlang for deliberate murder and cruel means. According to the law, he should be executed to comfort the soul of the unjustly killed! Please handle the case impartially so that the deceased Sun Bo can rest in peace in the afterlife. "

After the lawyer finished reading, the court was still very quiet.

This surprised Zheng Yao, because usually this was the beginning of the first round of quarrel between the plaintiff and the defendant. However, the Jiang family members who appeared in court today were eerily calm.

At first glance, both Jiang Ying and Jiang Yuanchen looked calm and without any anger at all.

This made Zheng Yao a little uncomfortable. He touched his nose and said, "Then...does the defendant have anything to say?"

Jiang Yuanchen, "Sir, my second brother did not kill anyone. The specific reasons will be stated later when I present the evidence."

Zheng Yao, "..."

Good job! There is really no unnecessary nonsense.

In this case, he didn't need to deliberately slow down at all. He looked at the Sun family's lawyer and said, "In this case, according to the rules, the plaintiff will present evidence first, and the defendant will refute it. I will make my own judgment on whether the arguments of both parties are valid. Arguing is invalid."

Lawyer: "The plaintiff applies to subpoena witnesses Deng Xuelin and You Shuangshuang."

Master: It is said that Deng Xuelin and You Shuangshuang——

This Deng Xuelin was undoubtedly Deng Er. He was the son of Deng Zhonglu, the Shaoqing of the Imperial Household Department, and the second child, so everyone called him Deng Er.

The position of Shaoqing of Taipu Temple is not low in rank, it is the fourth rank, if you don't mind it being a horse keeper.

Otherwise, Deng Er would not have been able to play with Jiang Yuanlang because his presence was too low and he was always looked down upon.

Only Jiang Yuanlang was stupid enough not to mind. When making friends, he never cared about people's family conditions, but only whether they were to his liking and whether they had any ill will towards him.

Little do we know that some people's malice is hidden too deeply.

When Deng Xuelin and the brothel owner You Shuangshuang were brought up together, a voice appeared in the quiet hall.

Jiang Yuanlang asked hoarsely and painfully, "Deng Er, I believe I have no grudge against you, and we have known each other for a while. I have been pretty good to you, right? Why did you give false testimony for the Sun family?"

This is what Jiang Yuanlang couldn't understand the most. That day, he couldn't find a seat to sit, and it was Deng Er who invited him to share a table.

Then Sun Bo was next door, and when he heard him yelling and cursing, he couldn't help himself and went up to beat him up. Not only did this lead to the consequences today, but he also lost his little nephew.

He is not afraid of death, but if anything happens to his sister's child, even his death cannot make up for it!

In fact, Jiang Yuanlang is not a fool. He has been thinking about these things over and over again in prison these days, and he almost understands that what happened that day might be a trap set by Deng Er for him.

But he didn’t understand, what benefits would this bring to Deng Er?

Deng Er rolled his eyes and didn't answer Jiang Yuanlang at all. He just bowed and calmly narrated, "Sir, on the 17th day of my life, I happened to be having dinner at Tianxianglou. I saw Jiang Yuanlang beating someone. The victim bled a lot and was seriously injured. The possibility of death cannot be ruled out."

"Deng Er, you beast, you wronged me!" Jiang Yuanlang thought he had been able to accept it calmly, but when he heard these words with his own ears, he couldn't help it.

"Prisoners, keep quiet!" Zheng Yao knocked the gavel again.

Jiang Yuanchen gently patted Jiang Yuanlang on the shoulder to calm his excited emotions.

The latter closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, he was finally calmer.

"I didn't kill anyone. I beat Sun Bo because he spoke rudely to my eldest brother and our Jiang family. I just wanted to teach him a lesson."

The lawyer seized the opportunity and continued, "Yes, you wanted to teach him a lesson, but you didn't know how to control yourself and ended up beating him to death!"

"I didn't. He was still breathing. How could he be dead?"

Jiang Yuanchen bowed and said, "Sir, verbal disputes are meaningless. We will remain silent about the words of the Sun family witnesses. Now, please call our witnesses to court."

Zheng Yao, "Yes."

Master: The successors are Xiangcao, Xiangzhang, Sun Jian and Zhurong.

It would be fine for others, Sun Dingji was ready, but Sun Jian was his son! Sun Bo's younger brother!

He was so angry that he gritted his teeth and cursed the bastard inwardly for being so ungrateful. He would definitely teach him a lesson once the matter was settled!

The testimonies of Xiangcao, Xiangzhang, and Sun Jian were no different from what they said in front of the Jiang family's door that day, except that Sun Jian's fear of Sun Dingji was so deep in his bones that he stuttered while testifying.

However, he was not the main witness, so the impact was not significant.

Finally, Sun Dingji gritted his teeth and said, "Sun Jian, you are so brave. In the past, I underestimated your useless son."

Everyone thought that Sun Jian lowered his head and would just listen to the scolding, and he might even cry.

As a result, the eight-year-old Sun Jian suddenly stood up and looked at Sun Dingji unwillingly, "I am a waste? Dad! Lord Sun! I have never been a waste. It was your precious eldest son who tortured me into a waste! Do you think I want to be named Sun? Do you want to be your son? No, if I were given a choice, I would rather be named any other, even if it means being a pariah. On the contrary, the name Sun disgusts me!"

"You... you bastard! You want to piss me off to death and kill my father, right?"

Jiang Ying couldn't stand it any longer and said, "Master Sun, what you said is so unreasonable. Does that mean that Sun Bo was justified in abusing and killing his brother, and Sun Jian was guilty of resisting?"

Sun Dingji's eyebrows turned red and his eyes turned green. "How dare you! You are a woman, how can you have the right to speak in court!"

With a thud, Zheng Yao reminded Sun Dingji, "Sir Sun, please think twice before you speak. The 'woman' you are talking about is the future Princess Mo."

In one word, Sun Dingji was so upset that he couldn't even breathe.

Even though he sneered in his heart, what about Princess Mo? Prince Mo looked half dead and half alive, and no one knew when he would die.

But he still didn't dare to say these words openly to provoke the royal family.

Apart from anything else, if the emperor hears it, he will be in trouble.

Seeing that he had shut up, Zheng Yao didn't bother to care anymore and asked Zhu Rong.

Doctor Zhu stepped forward. Despite his old age, he spoke with great clarity and logic, and explained the situation of the day in great detail.

"The above is my testimony. I have been a doctor all my life, so I am sure of the patient's condition."

Sun Dingji, "Really? What Doctor Zhu meant by this is that if Hua Tuo were still alive, there would be no disease that he couldn't cure? Then why did the poison spots on Doctor Zhu's daughter's face last for more than ten years, almost tormenting her to death, but Doctor Zhu was still helpless? It shows that Doctor Zhu's medical skills are not that good, and misdiagnosis is possible!"

Originally, Sun Dingji wanted to capture Doctor Zhu's family and force him to surrender, but he was too late.

Zhu's entire family was taken away and the house was empty.

So much so that he could only refute based on the little things he had heard.

Jiang Yuanchen was too lazy to argue with him and said calmly, "Sir Sun, Prefect Zheng has said it all. We just need to present evidence. He will make his own judgment on right and wrong. You should calm down and stop arguing about everything. Save your breath."

"You——" Sun Dingji was furious. He felt so embarrassed and embarrassed to be ridiculed by a junior.

Seeing that it was almost done, Zheng Yao calmly proceeded to the next step.

Identification of murder weapon.

But as Jiang Ying said, since Sun Bo did not die from external injuries, the wine cup was not a murder weapon. It was made clear in just a few words.

The most important thing is the autopsy report.

Obviously, the other party's lawyer also knew this, so he focused most on the autopsy conclusion.

He asked sarcastically, "If the deceased was not beaten to death by Jiang Yuanlang, and the internal injuries were not caused by the fight that day, then the deceased did not even leave the house in just eight days, and was always under the care of maids, servants and palace doctors to recover from his injuries. How could he have a ruptured spleen and lost too much blood?"

Jiang Yuanchen: "Master Zheng, please release the dog."

"What?" Zheng Yao calmed himself down, thinking he had heard it wrong.

The master whispered in his ear, "Sir, it's the two dogs as evidence. Madam Jiang said that as long as these two dogs are on the scene, the question of the cause of Sun Bo's death will be solved."

"Is it really so magical?"

The lawyer wanted to laugh, thinking that his master had obviously known about it a long time ago, and now he was acting so stupid!

The two of them talked as if no one was around, and then, without giving Sun Dingji and the lawyer the chance to say no, the two black dogs were led into the court by the bailiffs.

This yamen runner is no simple person either. With a muscular body, one can tell at a glance that he is good at martial arts.

Jiang Yuanchen looked at him, his handsome face full of confusion. "Excuse me, can you beat these two dogs without damaging the spleen of one and rupturing the spleen of the other?"

"Do...what?" The bailiff was a little scared.

"I want to verify something. It seems you can do it. Thank you for your help." Jiang Yuanchen bowed.

In fact, it was he and his sister who asked Lord Zheng for this runner. They wanted the best fighter just for this moment in the court.

However, in order to make it more realistic, the bailiffs themselves did not know about it.

Lord Zheng waved his hand, "Just do as Second Young Master Jiang says."

Sun Dingji felt something was wrong and tried to stop it, but Zheng Yao gave him a stern look and said, "I have doubts, but I am allowed to verify them. Are you trying to teach me how to judge a case?"

"I dare not." Sun Dingji felt aggrieved, but there was nothing he could do.

After all, this is Zheng Yao’s home court, not his.

So the bailiff ordered someone to tie up the dog, and then beat it in front of everyone.

Not long after he beat the dogs, one of them was still barking and was in very good spirits. But the other dog suddenly let out a scream, which slowly turned into a whimper, and then its neck drooped.

The bailiff came forward and reported, "Sir, the dog that was alive was injured externally. The dog that died was injured internally, with a ruptured spleen."

"Okay, you did a good job, go down for now."

At this moment, Zheng Yao seemed to understand Jiang Ying's purpose better. He looked at Jiang Yuanchen and said, "Defendant, please state your defense now."

Jiang Yuanchen was not panicked, and was still confident. "Sir, it's not possible yet. My sister Jiang Ying requests to have a laparotomy on the dead dog in court. Only in this way can we prove that Sun Bo's death has nothing to do with my second brother Jiang Yuanlang!"
