Chapter 262 She is clearly a female bandit with high martial arts skills!

"Who is here? Tell me your name!"

Lord Tongpan was stunned, and the government officials on both sides slammed their killing sticks on the ground, and shouted in a long and solemn voice: "Mighty~wu~!"

Normally during a trial, the prisoner would be so frightened that he would immediately kneel to the ground and beg for mercy with just a slap on the scaffold or a killing blow.

But this time, the gavel was struck and the government officials' killing blows were stopped, but the girl still stood there motionless, as if she was deafened and was not affected at all.

Lord Tongpan frowned and was startled again: "Who are you? Why don't you kneel down when you see me?"

Qiao Ran still stood and replied in a neither humble nor arrogant manner: "Sir, I am a refugee who fled from Qingzhou Prefecture due to drought. I was born in the countryside and I don't know how to kneel down. Why don't you teach me?"

"How dare you, a village girl, dare to talk to me like this? She is so contemptuous of the court and disrespectful of the authority of the official. Come on! Drag this girl down and punish her 20 times, and then drag her up to talk to her!"

The government officials on both sides looked at each other, but no one came forward.

"Why, you don't even listen to my words?"

After all, the magistrate's general magistrate was an official of the sixth rank. He did not expect that he could not control these government officials, and his face turned red with anger.

The government officials looked at each other for a few times, and finally stepped forward helplessly, trying to use the strength of their numbers to surround Qiao Ran and capture her.

But a dramatic scene happened again. Even if she was surrounded by a circle, Qiao Ran could still easily break out of the circle and avoid the hands of these people.

The judge in the hall opened his eyes wide, looking at the group of people who seemed to be playing hawks to tease chickens, and then he understood why his nephew suffered such a big loss.

Where is this little village girl? She is clearly a female bandit with high martial arts skills!

"You, you, you...where are you a bandit from? Or are you a spy sent by some country? What do you want to sneak into our city of Luoyang?"

Master Tong Xuan opened and closed his mouth and immediately accused the little girl in front of him of being a bandit and a spy.

Qiao Ran sneered: "Is this how Lord Tongpan usually handles matters for the magistrate? Without asking the cause of the matter or finding out the truth, you just casually convict people? There must be many people who have been wronged by you over the years, right? What are you doing? How many innocent souls are there that died tragically?"

Qiao Ran's question made Master Tongpan blush with anger.

Naturally, he would not convict people so easily.

It's just that the stinky girl in front of him dared to hurt his nephew and was so arrogant and unrestrained in the hall without giving him any face. Naturally, he wanted to punish her and make her pay for her arrogance.

"Be presumptuous! Don't talk nonsense! You hurt people at will, do not kneel before officials, and disrupt the court. What are you if you are not a bandit and a spy?"

"So this is how Lord Tong Sen usually tries cases? He relies on his own guesses without any real evidence. Doesn't this create countless unjust and wrongful convictions? Isn't it a waste of human life?"

"you you……"

Lord Tongpan was so angry that he pointed at Qiao Ran and wanted to curse, but he didn't know how to refute.

Qiao Ran asked again: "Sir, don't you ask how things developed?"

The judge was furious: "I have my own set of rules for handling cases, why should you teach me?"

Qiao Ran said calmly: "But as far as I know, there is a fixed process for hearing cases in Yamen. First, ask the names and origins of both parties, then ask both parties to understand what happened, and finally, through various personal and material evidence, can we judge who is the one." That’s right and wrong, isn’t it?”

Tong San opened his mouth, unable to refute.

This is indeed the process of the Yamen trial. This information has been recorded by the master on the side for future reference.

As soon as he arrived, he directly showed off his power to Qiao Ran without following the procedure at all.

Looking at his master who was holding a pen and looking at him innocently, Lord Tongpan didn't know what to say for a moment.

After a long while, Lord Tongjian had no choice but to suppress the anger in his heart, holding his breath and following the procedure, and asked: "Who is here? Whose name is it? Where do you live? Report it quickly!"

Qiao Ran raised her eyebrows and looked at the man in green robe with a swollen face.

When the man in green robe saw Qiao Ran looking at him, he subconsciously took a step back.

Thinking that this was in a courtroom, the person sitting there was his own uncle.

He took his feet back again and stared at Qiao Ran provocatively:

"What are you looking at? You're not asking me. Lord Tongpan is my biological uncle, so he knows exactly who I am. Why don't you tell me your name and origin, you stinky girl!"

Qiao Ran looked at the court: "Master Tongjian, this Lu Qing, uh, this young man in green is the plaintiff, and I am the defendant, right? According to the procedure, shouldn't the plaintiff be beaten with a killing stick before starting the trial? Really? When trying a case, the plaintiff should be asked first, and then the defendant should make his defense, right?"

"you……"

Lord Tongpan has lost his temper because of this stinky girl, but what she said is true.

In order to prevent people from going to court over trivial matters, the yamen would first give the plaintiff a beating before asking about the cause of the matter.

However, this plaintiff is his nephew! How could he be willing to let his nephew bear the killing stick?

Lord Tongpan was so angry that he didn't know what to say. Fortunately, the master on the side had a quick thinking and came to his rescue:

"Those are all county yamen's case review procedures. County yamen and government yamen are still different."

He didn't explain clearly what the different methods were. Anyway, he was sure that this country girl would never have seen a government office trying a case.

Qiao Ran didn't pursue it further, and her eyes signaled the process to continue.

Therefore, Lord Tongpan could only be patient and let his nephew explain what happened.

The green-robed young man's cheeks were swollen, and whenever he spoke, the red and swollen muscles were pulled, causing even more pain.

He had no choice but to signal to his servant and let him tell the story, while he would add a few words from time to time.

The boy was honest and told the whole story exactly.

It's just that when he told it, he still avoided the important things and ignored the easy things. He muffled all the obscene and obscene words that his young master said.

She only said that her young master said a few unpleasant words, and the girl got angry and hit him.

Qiao Ran: "..."

God was so angry!

When it was her turn to speak, she said every sentence and word that the young man in green robe said exactly.

In the courtroom, the expressions of the government officials and the master became very delicate.

They all know that Lord Tongpan's nephew usually likes to take advantage of his status to entertain cats and dogs in the city, flirt with flowers and grass, and play non-stop every night.

I also know that this young man likes to tease girls from good families. At first, many people went to court because the girls in their families were humiliated and committed suicide. Sent away.

This is the first woman who was insulted by the young master and went to court, but she said the words that the young master had insulted her in front of the court without any hesitation.

Only then did everyone realize how arrogant this young man was, daring to humiliate a random woman like this.

What he said was extremely vulgar, even more rude and vulgar than what those ordinary people said. No wonder those women were so angry that they hung themselves or threw themselves into a well.

To spread rumors so brazenly and insult a woman's reputation is tantamount to murder.

For a moment, a thought arose in the minds of these government officials: This young man really deserves the punishment and the beating!
