Chapter 225 - Grandpa Song steps forward
Immediately, the little loli Bai Jiaoniang hopped and ran straight to her room on the second floor.
As for Xiao Yi and Xia Wei, they couldn't help but laugh as they looked at the little loli's back. In the end, Xiao Yi directly grabbed Xia Wei by the waist and carried her into his embrace before heading upstairs.
With a clang, he closed the door. In the room, the lights that had just lit up were extinguished.
That night, Xiao Yi finally experienced Xia Wei's greatest beauty: Under the bed, she looked like a noble woman, but on the bed … Such a woman was truly the woman a man yearned for even in his dreams.
The night passed.
On the second day, a heavy snow started to fall over the entire river. The first heavy snow since winter began to fall. The entire sea was instantly frozen and covered in silver. It was a vast expanse of whiteness, and when one walked out of the door, they would feel a chill.
Finally, this day arrived at the coldest day of the entire winter.
Xiao Yi drove Xia Wei to the First People's Hospital of Jianghai, then went to take a look at the city's Pen Hall. The business of the shop was even colder than this winter.
Xiao Yi's wish for a rich future was buried in this snowstorm.
It seemed that earning money was not as simple as he had imagined. If his master were to go down the mountain and do a random business, it would cost tens of millions. However, since he left the mountain, it had been difficult for him to earn some money.
After frowning for a bit at the Pen Hall, Xiao Yi sat down on the carved wooden chair. He sunk his Qi into his Dantian, picked up the violet hair, and wrote a line of words on a flat piece of Xuan paper in one breath.
The depression in his heart was suddenly all written on that piece of Xuan paper, the pen tip penetrating the back of the paper, full of strength. As long as anyone took a glance at it, they would feel the frustration between the lines.
On the other hand, after Xiao Yi wrote these words, the depressed feeling in his heart immediately disappeared.
He raised his head and looked at the snow falling onto the ground outside Pen Hall. Only then did he remember that today was a good day, the day when the Song Family fell. Immediately, Xiao Yi cracked a smile, and a shallow dimple appeared on the corner of his mouth.
After warning Li Qi, Hai Tao, and the others once, Xiao Yi walked out of the Pen Hall. He did not use an umbrella, nor did he drive the BMW. They just walked on the streets, the snow falling like goose feathers. When it landed on Xiao Yi's body, it piled up to a thick layer. Xiao Yi shook off the snow on his body, he raised his head and laughed.
The journey from Pen Hall to the First People's Court of Jianghai was one thousand five hundred meters. Xiao Yi then walked over, step by step, in this winter, when heavy snow was flying everywhere.
When he arrived at the First Court of the People of Jianghai, Xiao Yi raised his head and looked at the dignified emblem. There was also the grand building, and the large golden words that solemnly represented justice.
He finally raised his head and smiled softly.
Xiao Yi laughed very brilliantly, to the point where his eyes even narrowed. He laughed to the point that the snowflakes dancing in the air no longer approached him. This was the first time Xiao Yi smiled so happily since he left the mountain.
Because, it was today. In this solemn building, the Song Family would completely disappear from the stage.
Collect evidence and plan to move the Song Family in one fell swoop. This matter had been delayed for so long. Today, things would finally come to an end in this building.
Last night, Secretary Niu communicated with Xiao Yi before. The evidence in his possession was like a mountain, the fall of the Song Family was already a fact. Today, the court is in session and will focus on the case of the Song family.
In this bleak winter, there were still quite a few people in the gallery. The case of the Song Family had involved too many things. Therefore, quite a few people were still paying attention to the direction of the case.
The court sessions continued with the same routine procedures, checking the identity of the parties, reading out the court notes, and the plaintiff reading out the indictment.
Looking at the young lawyer reading the indictment, Xiao Yi laughed. This lawyer was quite eloquent, his tongue like a golden lotus. Little by little, he recounted the evidence of the Song Family. Plus, his exaggeration made it sound like the Song Family was like the First Emperor of Qin. They were countless and evil.
The evidence was laid out one by one, without a single flaw. The lawyers on the Song Family's side did not have the courage to judge the situation for the Song Family. After all, there were Secretary Niu, Chief Zhang Jianye and a bunch of police officers present. In such matters, he felt weak in his heart. In addition, the evidence that was placed in front of him was reasonable and conclusive.
The Song Family's lawyer knew his identity. It's just a formality.
Song Chongming and Song Shaolun's face were gloomy, seeing the situation, they fell. This father and son pair, however, had calm expressions. Only Song Shaolun occasionally raised his head, and looked at Xiao Yi who was seated in the spectator's stand, and his face slightly darkened. His eyes flashed with resentment.
There were no ripples in this case. It was as if the matter was about to end like this. The old man of the Song Family, Song Xu, was still sitting at the dock with his head hanging low. It was as if he was standing outside the world.
Huang Ming stood beside the old man Song Xu, forever acting like the most loyal bodyguard. A strong sense of hesitation would occasionally surge out from that old face. It seemed to be an uncertain decision in his heart.
Outside the First People's Court of Jianghai, the snow was getting heavier and heavier. Pieces of snowflakes swirled and danced in the air.
The atmosphere in the court was solemn. The case of the Song Family was about to be decided. The spectators were all booing. He cursed the Song Clan for being corrupt and devoid of conscience. Selling poison powder, opening up Orchard, and lending at high interest. There was also Song Chongming, who revealed the news of the political bidding war and accepted bribes that amounted to tens of millions.
Nothing could stop these people from harboring hatred towards the Song Family. All of them cursed, wishing they could take out a few rotten eggs and smash them on the Song Family.
The solemn judge was suffused with a sacred radiance. The hammer landed with a clang, and all the noise in the court quickly disappeared.
The judgement was about to be pronounced, and the case was about to be concluded. Xiao Yi let out a long sigh, and the hands around him finally shrank back into his sleeves. A trace of ridicule was revealed on that young face.
However, everyone was waiting for the judge's verdict. The Song Family's old man, Song Xu, stood up lazily. His gaunt face seemed to be unable to endure the winter's cold, and a trace of paleness appeared on it.
"Cough, cough." A heavy cough sounded in the courtroom.
Everyone turned to look at the lordmaster. His heart tightened, he knew that the Song Family's old man finally couldn't take it anymore.
As the saying goes, a biting dog does not bark. Song Xu had been sitting by the side for a long time. He did not say a word about what had happened in the court. He was like an aged old man, about to fall asleep in this winter.
However, this old man of the Song Family, Song Xu, finally stood up at the most crucial moment. Everyone had a bit of an omen, this matter was probably going to be troublesome.
"Your Honor, I think there are too many doubtful points in this case for the time being." Song Xu raised his head to look at the judge seated in the middle. His expression was calm, as if he was narrating something that had nothing to do with him.
It was not permissible for someone to suddenly step forward and disrupt the order of the court. But the judge knew the difference in this case. This old man of the Song Family was not an ordinary person. He then asked patiently, "How is it that there are so many suspicious points that we can't finish the case?"
"Because." Song Xu raised his head and looked at the expectant judge before he slowly said, "I, the commander of the city's artillery, think that there are too many suspicious points regarding this matter. Thus, there were many points of doubt in this case. The people of the Song Family, I will not allow this small place to be judged as an injustice. I have to report this to the authorities and have them set up a task force to investigate this matter. Furthermore, when the time comes, I want to hold a court at the First People's Court of Beijing. "
His voice was not loud. However, it was loud enough to cause everyone to be stunned. They all stared blankly at the Song Family's old man, Song Xu.
This was the pressure of a naked fruit, a threat of a naked fruit. He finally relied on his seniority to show off his greatest reliance. He wanted to use his identity to delay this case.
It was no wonder that Song Xu was sitting calmly in the courtroom. He had already planned things out in his mind. No matter how heated the debate was in this court.
Because that had nothing to do with him.
The final conclusion, the final verdict, had long since been in his hands.
