big master, big liar

Song Xuan is not a big or small celebrity in Sifang City. On the day of his trial and promotion, many people came to watch.

The most interesting thing was that on the day of his promotion, a seat was specially set aside for Ji Yunxi, aside from the curtain, there were two guards standing in front of him.What they know is that he has a high status, but those who don't know think that there is a charming young lady sitting behind him.

Song Xuan knew that Ji Yunxi was sitting behind him, so he couldn't help but want to laugh. Instead, the crowd who came to watch praised Mr. Song for his fearlessness in times of danger, his ability to talk and laugh freely, and his appearance as a character.

Song Xuan was also a little strange.

He had also been involved in several lawsuits in the past, but they were all trivial matters, which were only tried by the county magistrate, and could not be brought to the capital.

But this time it was an important case of selling salt, and it was caught in the prefectural city, so it was directly tried by the magistrate, and with the prince watching from the sidelines, it was much more solemn in terms of momentum and scale.

Song Xuan heard those yamen servants holding water and fire sticks, and shouted "mighty" twice in unison, and saw the "quiet" and "avoid" signs standing there upright, gave a gavel, and began the trial .

The first salt merchant had already pleaded guilty, but now Song Xuan was on trial. The difference was that the salt merchant claimed that Song Xuan was the buyer, buying private salt for personal gain.Song Xuan claimed that he was doing a serious cloth business and was framed by the salt merchant.

The two knelt down neatly in the hall, and listened to the pleadings read from above.

Song Xuan was distracted, and raised his eyes slightly to look at the magistrate's appearance, but he was indeed an upright and upright Qingtian appearance.

This person already knew Ji Yunxi's true identity, but he didn't make it difficult for him. He was not from anywhere, so he was innocent.

Song Xuan was thinking in his heart, but couldn't help but feel a little worried.

After all, Ji Yunxi's identity has been completely exposed, and he still doesn't know what will be done later.

Song Xuan's worries hadn't dissipated yet, and he heard the magistrate above ask: "Song Xuan, what is said in the pleadings is the truth?"

Song Xuandong listened to it with a hammer and a stick, and knew that what was written on the pleadings was the accusation of the salt merchant, how could he admit it, and immediately shook his head: "It's not true."

As soon as the words fell, the salt merchant at the other end yelled: "Your Excellency, the villain said everything is true! If there is even half a lie, I will be struck by lightning from the sky, and I will die!"

Song Xuan couldn't help teasing: "You are an excellent singer, with a perfect accent, why are you selling private salt? Even singing operas has a better future than this."

The crowd outside burst into laughter.

Instead, the magistrate took several shots of the gavel: "Silence! Silence!"

Then he reprimanded the salt merchant: "I didn't interrogate you, so who allows you to yell?"

Song Xuan smiled and said nothing, he seemed to hear someone laughing behind the curtain.

It seems that he hasn't seen Ji Yunxi for a long time, and he doesn't know what he looks like when he smiles.

The magistrate came to ask Song Xuan again: "What's wrong with what's written in the petition?"

Song Xuan glanced at the salt merchant, saw that his face was red with tension, and said slowly: "First, the villain is in the cloth business, and he also went to buy cloth that day. This boss has already spread around in Sifang City, saying that his A villain will work with the finest fabrics in his hands."

"Can anyone prove what you said?"

Song Xuan said with a smile, "Xiang Rong, Huaxia downstairs, can prove it."

As soon as these words were spoken, the crowd outside couldn't help booing.

It can be seen how popular the scandal between Song Xuan and Xiang Rong is by the people of Sifang City.

Song Xuan couldn't help glancing at the curtain.

Quietly.

He remembered that Ah Xi's reaction to Xiang Rong was great, so he won't be sulking again now, will he?

The businessman protested again: "My lord, I have heard that Miss Xiangrong is Song Xuan's old friend. What she said is not credible."

Song Xuan couldn't help but glanced at him.

He was clearly a merchant who just came to Sifang City, but he knew these things so clearly, it was hard to say that he had no intentions.

"The villain also met a few capable people in Sifang City, which can prove that Song Xuan originally conspired with Fang Qiutang. On the surface, he was in the cloth business, but in fact he made a living by buying and selling private salt."

At this time, the salt merchant spoke sharply again: "The villain boldly asks to summon them together."

This request is normal, and the magistrate has no reason not to agree.

It's just that Song Xuan felt a little strange.

It is not surprising to fabricate witnesses, but he has already obtained Fang Qiutang's letter, and the salt merchants of Ji Ni's faction have been dealt with submissively. No one will be able to fabricate any evidence. Can't the personal confession be overturned?

After a while, Xiang Rong was invited to the hall, together with several young men in green clothes and cloth jackets.

Song Xuan took a closer look, but he didn't have any impression of these people, and he didn't even remember if they were from Sifang City.

He and Xiang Rong exchanged a puzzled look, obviously they were unfamiliar with these people.

The magistrate was the first to inquire about Xiangrong's confession. Xiangrong had heard about it a long time ago, and explained how the salt merchant boasted about his superior fabrics in the building, and how he introduced the salt merchant to Fang Qiutang. Nothing went wrong.

He added: "If your lord doesn't believe it, Boss Fang Qiutang and the girls I spent upstairs and downstairs all know about this."

The magistrate then went to ask the witnesses invited by the salt merchant: "You say that Song Xuan and Fang Qiutang conspired to sell salt, do you have evidence?"

Those few witnesses said: "We will naturally have evidence, it's outside, it's already brought up, please allow us to show Master Qingtian."

When the magistrate heard the words, he saw a box parked outside, so he asked someone to carry it in.

The uneasiness in Song Xuan's heart seemed to grow stronger.

The yamen servant opened the box and found that it was empty except for a big stone, and everyone felt suspicious immediately.

The magistrate was even more puzzled: "Are you playing tricks on me?"

The head witness smiled and said: "Don't dare, it's just that we need to work together to show the evidence to the master before we can see it."

As he spoke, several witnesses gathered around the box.

Everyone stuck their heads out, wondering what tricks they could pull out of the box.

Song Xuan was the first to react, and shouted: "Be careful!"

The next moment, several people actually pulled out the gleaming swords from the box, and rushed directly behind the curtain.

Song Xuan got up in a hurry, but he was the defendant, and there were two yamen servants' water and fire sticks crossed behind him, and he was pressed back abruptly.

Xiangrong was the first to rush over, but she was half a beat behind.

Song Xuan watched helplessly as a steel knife pierced the curtain, and blood spattered on the curtain.

"Ji Yunxi—!"

Song Xuan's eyes were about to burst, and with some strength, he broke free from the restraint and rushed towards the direction of the curtain.

#####I feel very happy to write articles recently.
