Chapter 2047 Witnesses
Zhou Taiping said loudly: "Bold Hu Qibo, you still don't plead guilty!"
Hu Qibo hurriedly knelt down: "My lord, I am wronged. I really thought that the Lao family must have been injured by the Xiao family, so the sentence was wrong."
"Think? Can a case be decided by reason? Your basis is that it is impossible for the victim to tell lies?"
Hu Qibo nodded: "It's generally impossible to tell lies. Who knew they were so vicious and actually framed others."
A Xuanwu guard suddenly walked in and said a few words in Ze Yuan's ear.
Zeyuan nodded and asked him to bring the man up.
One person suddenly knelt on the ground, Ze Yuan asked, "Do you know Mr. Hu?"
The man nodded: "I know."
What about the four people lying on the ground next to them?
"I know it too, it's the Lao brothers."
"Then tell me what you saw that day."
"Yes." The man said, "A few days ago, I saw with my own eyes that the Lao brothers stopped Master Hu's sedan chair in an alley that few people passed by. It was stuffed into Master Hu's sedan chair, and the next day, the boss of the Xiao family was arrested and put in prison."
Zhou Taiping asked the man, "Are you also from Dashi Village?"
"Yes."
"Then why didn't you say it before? Could it be that you were afraid of retribution?"
"Yeah." The man said, "I'm just an ordinary person. I can't fight against an official, so I know that Xiao Zhengchun was framed by someone in cooperation with Lord Hu, but he didn't dare to say a word."
"Then why do you dare to say it now?"
The man glanced at Xuanwuwei just now, and said, "He said, if I don't tell the truth, Xiao Zhengchun may die. When the Xiao family was rich before, they also helped our family. I don't want him to die."
After saying that, he lowered his head.
In fact, they gave him a large sum of money and promised him that as long as he said it, not only the Lao brothers would be finished, but even the county magistrate would be finished. It will also protect his safety, so he dared to say it.
That money was too important to him, enough to change the fate of the whole family, he was really moved.
Since the current Lizheng took office, Lizheng's clansmen have been domineering in the village and bullying others. People who are not Lao in the village have long been miserable. If it can make it difficult for the Lao family, he is naturally willing to step on it. one foot.
Zhou Taiping said angrily: "Hu Qibo, what else do you have to say now?"
Hu Qibo defended: "Sir, I'm really innocent. This person must have been brought to frame me by the Xiao family. As a parental official, how could I possibly accept bribes from the people."
Helian Rongjiu opened his mouth and said, "How could it be possible to accept bribes from the common people? You have received a lot over the years. If you did not accept bribes, please explain why in the cases you broke down, the winners were all Rich people, all losers are poor people?"
After he finished speaking, he handed a booklet to Zhou Taiping: "These are all cases that Mr. Hu broke in the past few years, and they were marked with a red brush. They are all the same as today's cases. , as long as the adults send someone to investigate, they can find those who were convicted without any evidence."
Zhou Taiping took it over and opened it. The more he looked, the more angry he became. He suddenly raised his head and looked at Hu Qibo: "You are really good. In the whole booklet, there are very few that are not marked with a red brush. I didn't expect that you actually Such a person!"
