chapter 120 harmony incomparable piece of paper

The Ming family naturally will not be a do not know where to come out of the steady woman on the chaos, Chen Bochang is also a good argumentative person, grabbed the birthmark years and years, the steady woman is old, the evidence can not be trusted this several fierce attack, anyway, it is not possible to just so admit the account.

Xia Qifei’s life, only these false evidence, always not, not to mention the Suzhou Prefecture, the governor of the Lord and the officials of the Jiangnan Road, itself is toward the side of the Ming family.

Song Shiren was furious, thinking that the people of Jiangnan really are some tricky people, their own hard work to “design” such a stable woman, the other side actually make a liar do not recognize the account, just look at the hall of the Suzhou governor’s look and talk, Song Shiren is also clear that the matter of the Ming family’s family property, their own side of the evidence is indeed a little weaker, persuasive and greatly insufficient.

However, Song Shiren’s bottom line is full, found Suzhou House secretly biased, and not very willing to accept their own defense, can not help but use their own annoying mouth, the Ming family greatly belittled, secretly also stabbed the Suzhou House of two sentences, the words are not full of banter and irony, anyway, he is a celebrity in Kyoto, do not care about the means of the south of the family, relying on the backing of a small Fan Taoshi, naturally bold and ruthless.

Ming Lan Shi, Chen Bochang and the hall of Suzhou governor is not in a hurry, smiling to see this world famous litigant performance, listening to those spit flying in the hall, although the heart hates this guy, but hard to hold back.

“This Mr. Song, to prove that Xia Qufei is the seventh son of the old master Ming that year, do you have other evidence?” Suzhou governor clenched his fist in his sleeve, frowned and said.

“My lord, earlier that steady woman clearly remembered clearly, why can’t it be used as evidence?” Song Shiren’s feet were not ding-dong, expertly standing in the hall.

“Ai, brother Song’s words are inappropriate.” Chen Bochang said with a bow beside him, “That old crone has been inconvenient to move, her cheeks are weak, she is already dying, this old is old and confused person, how can what she said be done correctly? What’s more, when the Ming family set up she did remember clearly, but who knows if there are people who will have the heart of the year to say with her to listen to …… and then let her remember to come to frame?”

Song Shiren’s eyes narrowed slightly and said, “Good one shamelessly framed.”

Chen Bochang slightly angry, thought you even this kind of shameless thing can do, is not I even say can not say?

Song Shiren was also too lazy to pay attention to him again, and asked directly to the hall, “My lord, could it be that you are saying the same thing?”

The people outside the hall have been about to believe that Xia Qifei’s life, after all, the steady woman’s performance is really superb, at this time the onlookers see the Suzhou governor and the Ming family is about to deny, some of the lively will be coaxing.

But most people are still silent, after all, they still favor the Ming family in their hearts, especially behind Xia Qufei seems to be the power from Kyoto, the people of Jiangnan are very jealous of this situation.

Suzhou governor’s face slightly red, know that this dead not to admit the confession of the steady woman is indeed inappropriate, but looked at Ming Lan Shi’s eyes, know that there is only this hard to hold on, cleared his throat and said: “that steady woman is indeed old and confused, this right to collect the letter is always in the hands of the official, if it is a general civil case, such as Mr. Song’s theory is also not improper, but Mr. also mentioned earlier, the criminal case to the three classes, the Ming Family Family property matter, no doubt is a first-class example, if there is no more detailed and reliable evidence, this official really can not conclude the case.”

Song Shiren waited for his words, frowning slightly, pretending to be disappointed, said in a sharp voice: “Sir! This can not be! Things have been a long time, and where to find evidence? I have found witnesses, your honor said no, then what kind of evidence?”

Suzhou governor heart slightly happy, thought you this Song Shiren how arrogant and famous, but in the public hall, but not by us these officials kneaded dough, no matter what you put forward again witnesses, I can always find a way not to believe, at this time listening to Song Shiren fearful of asking, subconsciously said: “evidence of evidence, can be ruled on the case.”

Song Shiren did not wait for him to continue to say, lips one, the words like a cannon sprayed out: “adults? Who judges the case?”

“Naturally this official ……”

“Since it is an adult judging the case, dare to ask what is the physical evidence?” Song Shiren was aggressive, not giving Suzhou governor more time to react.

Suzhou governor slightly froze, wanting to say something.

Song Shiren hands a bow, eyes straight into the eyes of the other party, forced to ask: “What exactly is the physical evidence?”

Suzhou governor was bluffed by his aura, as if returning to the scene many years ago, when he was in the examination of the law section, subconsciously responded, “Traces, murder weapon, book evidence ……”

“Book evidence? Good!” Song Shiren eyes squinted curved up, praised, said: “adults wise.”

Suzhou governor again froze, blissfully unaware of their own wise where, hesitantly opened his mouth to ask: “Mr. Song ……”

Song Shiren still does not give him the opportunity to complete a sentence, extremely anxious to ask: “adults, if there is a book evidence, can do vouchers?”

“Naturally can ……”

Song Shiren again cut off: “And then there is a book evidence, adults can not deny!”

Suzhou governor furious nodded: “This is where the words, this official is also familiar with the people of the Qing law, there is no reason not to know the power of the book evidence, you this litigator talk too rude, if you can get the book evidence, naturally, than the previous that the steady woman credible.”

As soon as these words came out, Suzhou governor suddenly felt as if he had said something wrong, why had he suddenly become so talkative? He subconsciously looked down the hall, only to see Ming Lan Shi and Chen Bo Chang with a hint of disappointment amidst their astonishment, while the litigator called Song Shiren was grinning maliciously with a smug face.

Song Shiren repeatedly cut off the Suzhou governor’s words, the response he had thought about completely blocked, and then finally suddenly put a mouth, a few provocative, so that this governor to go along with his intention, before the evidence, it is first in front of the people to confirm the importance of the book evidence, so as not to stay in the shameless scene of denial again.

This is actually just a debate above the very shallow psychological means and language skills, like a sausage in front of the dog constantly waving, but always refused to let it quickly eat a bite, until the end, you plug a banana over, the dog will also be happy to eat all, and forget that he originally wanted to eat sausage rather than bananas.

Chen Bochang sighed in his heart when he realized that the governor’s lord had fallen for Song Shiren’s trick. He didn’t have a chance to interrupt earlier because Song Shiren was really talking too fast, and that arrogant and tired tone was indeed extremely easy to make people angry.

He and Ming Lan Shi exchanged glances, shook his head somewhat helplessly, and felt a trace of doubt in his heart, what kind of documentary evidence …… does the other party hold in his hand that can actually prove Xia Qufei s birth?

Suzhou governor knows that he was Song Shiren played a trip, looking at the man’s hateful smile, hate to order people to go to him to beat on a meal, bias at this time and can not fight, only to ask in a deep voice: “Both the book evidence, why not previously presented up?”

Song Shiren said with a respectful salute: “This will be presented.”

The governor laughed coldly: “If your book evidence is not valid, do not blame this official closed the case.”

Song Shiren smiled grimly and said, “Don’t worry, this book evidence is old, but it is a dead thing, it will not be old and confused …… adults just rest assured.”

Suzhou governor was choked not good.

Song Shiren came to Xia Qufei’s ear and said a few words of what, Xia Qufei slightly frowned, seems to have not thought that so soon to take out that thing, it seems to prove their own life, is indeed an extremely difficult thing.

He took out that small box from his bosom, and carefully handed it over to the master, his eyes kept staring at the master’s hand holding the box, as if he was afraid that in this broad daylight, there was someone who would snatch this box away.

Looking at Xia Qufei’s cautious demeanor, Chen Bochang’s brow furrowed as he approached Ming Lan Shi’s ear and asked, “Young master, can you guess what it is?”

Ming Lan Shi’s face was a little puzzled, thinking that Suzhou is not like Kyoto, and there is no such thing as birth paper, so what exactly is that book evidence?

At this time on the hall of Suzhou governor has opened the box, he and the master together with a brief scan, face immediately changed!

Ming Lan Shi and Chen Bochang were shocked.

Suzhou Governor swept Ming Lan Shi with a somewhat complicated look.

Song Shiren smiled, calmly but raised his voice an octave, and said aloud: “This documentary evidence is the suicide note written in the handwriting of Elder Master Ming in that year, which stated that he would leave all of the property of the Ming family to his seventh son, Ming Qingcheng……. This suicide note has always been preserved in the hands of Mr. Xia, which is sufficient to prove that Mr. Xia is the seventh son of the Ming family! Mr. Xia is the seventh son of the Ming family!”

Not waiting for the crowd to wake up from the shock, Song Shiren turned, snatched a patch, looked at the Suzhou governor coldly smiled: “Of course, some fools strong item of the generation, you can also say that Mr. Xia accidentally picked up this suicide note, so come to pretend to be the descendants of the Ming family …… just before the steadfastness, after the evidence of the book, if there are still people really dare to be like this, the Ming family is the seventh son. If there are still people really dare this so naked framed …… hum, this world’s people’s eyes are not blind, and not no long brain, I Daqing dynasty up and down the officials, the people of Jiangnan, who will believe?”

Ming old master’s suicide note!

Above the public hall, the wind suddenly changed, the people outside the court onlookers a clamor, and the hall of Ming Lan Shi and Chen Bo Chang as if struck by lightning, stood dumbfounded, Ming Lan Shi face full of shock muttered: “Impossible, when did grandpa write a suicide note? This must be a fake!”

Song Shiren looked at the Ming family’s young master from the side with a leathery smile and said, “As expected, someone didn’t even read it and started to say it’s fake …… Is it hard to believe that young master Ming is a god?”

Ming Lan Shi was still in shock, hearing Song Shiren’s words, he furiously whisked his sleeve and said, “This suicide note is definitely fake!”

Song Shiren heard him talk like this, heart slightly pleased, know that his most worried about the situation did not happen, his own patch in time, if the other party does not dwell on the truth or falsehood of the suicide note, but as he said earlier, is to bite Xia Qufei picked up this suicide note, now is to pretend to be the early death of the Ming family seven sons to seize the family property, this is the most difficult to deal with- -If the other party will be shameless to the end – they really do not have much of a way.

And now, the young master of the Ming family, after a great shock, only focuses on going on about the truth or falsehood of the suicide note, without accusing Xia Qufei of picking up the suicide note to impersonate the …… So, as long as one can prove that the suicide note is true, then …… the fact that Xia Qufei is the Ming family’s seventh son, can be confirmed.

Song Shiren gently breathed a sigh of relief, today’s hall seems to be nonsense, in fact, every word he said, the planned order is greatly exquisite. Only in this way could he steer this difficult situation in the direction he wished.

The first litigator of the Qing Dynasty, really lives up to his name.

Suzhou governor was full of irony, beckoning for the litigators of both sides to approach the big case, saying, “The documentary evidence is already there, I just don t know whether it is true or false ……”

Song Shiren today is destined not to let this governor adults happy, intercepted: “adults, is it true or false, check will know, why do not know?”

After all, Chen Bochang is a famous litigator in Jiangnan, at this time has long been out of the previous shock, know that Song Shiren today is used to scare the snake, smiled and responded: “Sir, the other side since this is the old master Ming’s suicide note, that of course it is necessary to check, at this time the young master of the Ming family is present, why not let him come to have a look?”

He turned to Song Shiren and said gently, “Mr. Song won’t have a problem with this, right?”

“As long as young master Ming won’t go crazy and swallow the suicide note, what’s the harm in taking a look?” Song Shiren narrowed his eyes and smiled grimly, “Brother Chen’s calming kung fu is truly formidable.”

“Same to each other.” Chen Bochang responded with a smile.

Suzhou governor couldn’t understand what these two big litigants were praising each other, only Song Shiren and Chen Bochang knew clearly that since it was a family property lawsuit, proving Xia Qufei’s identity was just a lead, which party the huge family property actually belonged to was the important drama, and even if Xia Qufei’s suicide note that he had taken out was true, according to the Qing law, the Ming family was almost still undefeatable.

So Chen Bochang is not alarmed, Song Shiren is not happy, all know that the long road is still in the future.

At this time Ming Lan Shi has come over, full of uneasiness to check the table of the letter of death.

Ming garden, there are still a lot of handwritten letters of the old master Ming, Ming family children day after day, has been familiar with the heart, so Ming Lan Shi a look at those thin handwriting on the suicide note, will know that it is indeed the grandpa’s handwritten, and the paper of the suicide note, it is indeed also the old master Ming’s favorite Qingzhou paper in the year ……

Ming Lan Shi’s face was a bit terrified, and he bowed to Lord Zhi Zhou and retreated.

Chen Bochang came to his ear and whispered, “Is it true or not.”

Ming Lan Shi frowned and said, “I am only afraid …… that it is true ……” But this young master Ming, after all, has already begun to take care of the business for the family over the years, and his heart and mind have been sharpened to be quite resolute, only A moment will feel a trace of oddity, and associated with the father once revealed some of the year’s secret, face odd up, lowered his voice and said: “No …… this is false!”

Chen Bochang said, “Oh? How to judge?”

Ming Lan Shi gritted his teeth and said grimly, “My family that old ancestor’s tactics …… If she was going to do it back then, where else would she have left any suicide note!”

Chen Bochang was stunned, know that the other side is talking about that Ming Lao Taijun, a thought is indeed so, if the Ming Lao Taijun that year to seize the family property, kill people and expel the door, the first priority is certainly to take care of the matter of the suicide note, this suicide note according to reason, it is simply not possible to still be left in this world.

“Then this suicide note ……” he frowned.

Ming Lan Shi said with a slight gloom, “Like that steady woman, I’m only afraid that they are all fakes made by the Supervisory Yuan.”

Things to this point, the Ming family was stunned to find that behind Xia Qufei, that Supervisory Yuan in order to do this thing how long how deep the effort, spent how much energy, that forged a perfect mess of the suicide note, no months, categorically can not be done in such detail, the light of that paper to do the old with the choice of materials, are extremely complex things.

To know this kind of Qingzhou paper as early as ten years ago has been discontinued, who knows the Supervisory Yuan can still find out.

And the Supervisory Yuan with the means is powerful enough, taken this litigation method is more shameless to the extreme, all the way to the end of the fake …… there is justice in this world?

Ming Lan Shi some sad thought, but in the eyes can not help but emerge a person, that young and clean-cut Chinaman Lord, seems to be standing in a certain place full of gentle smile looking at himself, lips slightly open, seems to eat a big meal.

Behind this matter, it was naturally Little Lord Fan who was in charge.

The suicide note is out, of course, to check the authenticity, Suzhou House has sent people to the Ming Garden to take the handwriting of the old master of the year Ming compared to the handwriting, at the same time, in accordance with Song Shiren seemingly fair advice, to the internal treasury transit division to retrieve the year’s tender archived signature, while asking the Supervisory Yuan around the Suzhou branch of the Division of the officials, to come to check the age of this suicide note, as well as the use of paper.

The world knows that the Supervisory Yuan is the best at this kind of work.

Since good at making fake, of course, also good at identifying fake, just originally is the supervision courtyard made out of fake, and let the supervision courtyard to check, such as asking the wolf to solve the case of the sheep’s disappearance.

Suzhou governor in his heart cursed, but did not dare to say in front of the crowd straight to the Supervisory Yuan is not, had to agree to the proposal, but he also moved other ideas, another person to ask the Imperial Inspectorate patrol road, and went to the Jiangnan Governor’s Office to ask the powerful criminal master to judge the authenticity of the suicide note.

Because of the appearance of the suicide note, the trial in Suzhou Province has come to an end for the time being. It always takes time to check the suicide note, so the people on the sidelines rushed to the tea store to buy tea and biscuits to satisfy their hunger and thirst, and then they had to rush to watch the play.

Just wait for those people to come back, only to find that the best position has been those who endure hunger onlookers occupied, can only curse twice, but also can not snatch back.

Ming family members have long sent a food box, Ming Lan Shi food tasteless into the meal, I do not know Chen Bochang in his ear said a few words what, Ming Lan Shi’s spirit only a little better.

On this side, Hua Yuan also did not avoid anything at all, and sent a food box to Xia Qufei. There were very few people over here, only Song Shiren and Xia Qufei were eating, Song Shiren glanced over at the Ming family’s side, and said softly to Xia Qufei, “Once the suicide note is out, Master Xia’s life will be made clear.”

The excitement in Xia Qifei’s eyes appeared and disappeared, and he said gratefully, “Hard work, sir.”

“But ……” Song Shiren said with a straight face, “Identifying Master Xia as a descendant of the Ming family does not mean that you will be able to get back what belongs to you.”

Xia Qufei understood what he meant by that.

Song Shiren sighed, “The Qing Laws are strict and issued according to the scriptures. Among the Qing law sparingly righteous family marriage, the provisions for the inheritance of family property are too dead, the other party is the eldest son of the eldest house, there is an absolute advantage, even if you have that seal of the will of the old master Ming in your hands, it is impossible to make the officials award the Ming family property to you, not to mention that these Jiangnan Road officials …… look at the appearance of listening to the words of the Ming family. ”

Xia Qufei nodded slightly, full of perseverance look said:” Today if you can be right for Xia, has been an unexpected pleasure, as for the family property, everything according to what Mr., adults have also once said, this matter is urgent, as long as the will is confirmed, this lawsuit is not to fight.”

Song Shiren smiled and shook his head and said, “Fighting is must continue to fight, even if you know that in the end you can’t win, you have to continue to fight, you have to fight the Ming family’s anxiety and inability to cope with the situation, dragging the Ming family to make a fool out of themselves, this ability, under me is there.”

This litigator spoke in a relaxed and dashing manner, but in fact, secretly, he also had a bellyful of complaints against Fan Xian.

He was summoned to Jiangnan by that little Lord Fan from a long distance, who knew that the …… lawsuit he was going to fight was one that he was bound to lose! And Fan Xian also ordered him to delay the process of this lawsuit as long as possible …… Song Shiren only lost to Fan Xian once in this life in the courtroom, and now he is going to lose for the second time because of Fan Xian’s reasons, so that he thinks about it is full of grief, but there is no way ah …… who let He had voted for Little Lord Fan, and who made Little Lord Fan’s hand generous.

By the afternoon, by the Supervisory Yuan officials, Suzhou Province officials, officials of the General Inspection Bureau, Jiangnan Governor’s Office criminal masters composed of a joint inspection team, the yellowed paper studied for a long time.

First is to compare the handwriting as well as the signature, Ming old master withered font is extremely difficult to imitate, and personal writing habits, such as all the walk of the bottom end of the front will be dragged down …… these are in this suicide note has been very fully demonstrated.

And the paper is really long discontinued Qingzhou paper, the Ministry of Justice master from the degree of yellowing and moisture degree to judge, the suicide note writing time and summer Qufei claimed years extremely similar.

The tone of the suicide note with the words, and the old master Ming when he was alive is also completely harmonious.

The most crucial thing is that the seal, in the Ming garden with the old master Ming seal comparison, is not the slightest difference!

But this is not the slightest difference, but let the Jiangnan Governor’s Office experienced old official felt a trace of difference, a suicide note stored for more than ten years, the color of the seal is indeed old and faint, but the subtle slip actually and now the seal is not the slightest difference …… This is also too bizarre.

However, the old official also understands that this matter is very complicated, and this point is not even considered doubtful, so did not pay too much attention. As for the Suzhou House and the officials of the Metropolitan Police Department are bent on confirming that this suicide note is false, and finally even used the special product of the inner library of the magnifying glass …… but still can not find a trace of loopholes.

The officials after some deliberation, reached a consensus, and Suzhou governor had no choice but to declare in the public hall above the helpless: the suicide note is true, then Xia Qufei naturally really is the Ming family that should have died long ago the seventh son – Ming Qingcheng.
