Although this thin member knew the serious consequences of perjury and did not dare to continue to perjury, the fat member still bit Xu Dafa to death, which undoubtedly made the interrogation fall into a passive situation.

Lin Haoran asked Hu Niu to bring the new witness directly to the court, and the lesson of the previous car was in front of him, so he was naturally a little more vigilant, so he asked Xu Yuanwai: "Xu Yuanwai, do you recognize this woman?" ”

Xu Yuanwai glanced at him, but replied contemptuously: "Lord Fucheng, I have already made it clear that I may not have been to the capital, and I have never met this ugly monster in my life!" ”

Listening to this answer, the tiger girl turned her head and looked at the woman behind her seriously. It's just that the woman didn't say anything, and stood in the public hall in a proper manner, but she didn't say a word.

When Lin Haoran saw this scene, he didn't dare to have much hope for this witness, and his heart was slightly shaken.

Although his memory is very good, after four years, he was not impressed by Xu Yuanwai at the beginning. At that moment, Xu Yuanwai was kneeling in the lobby, and he really didn't dare to be 100% sure that this was Xu Dafa, not Xu Erfa, Xu Dafa's younger brother.

As the saying goes, no book is written without coincidence, and this incident may really be a coincidence. Xu Dafa fled from the capital back to Songjiang Mansion and died violently, and the two brothers looked very similar, which caused Hu Niu and Xiaobai to recognize the wrong person.

Although he really wanted to bring the murderer to justice, so as to give Xu Fu a little color.

It's just that he is not the kind of person who does not distinguish between right and wrong, if this Xu Yuanwai is really an innocent person and is really admitted wrong, he will naturally not insist on sending the other party to the guillotine.

As soon as I thought about this, and there was no evidence in my hand, I couldn't help but retreat in my heart.

"Oops! Do you dare to say that you haven't been to the capital? It was you I saw at that time, and if my brother hadn't let me testify, I wouldn't have had to find a witness now! The tiger girl widened her eyes and accused angrily.

is different from Lin Haoran, who is self-doubting, but Hu Niu trusts herself separately, and believes that this Xu Yuanwai is Xu Dafa back then.

"Hu Niu has seen Xu Yuanwai?"

"That's right! Didn't you say that Lin Wenkui was from Gaozhou, Guangdong? ”

"I'm afraid you don't know, Hu Niu went to the capital four years ago!"

……

When the people in the hall heard Hu Niu's words, many people were slightly stunned. It's just that there is no shortage of well-informed people, and when they tell the ins and outs of the matter, many people are amazed.

Such a little girl dared to go to the capital to find her brother, and even exposed a murder case.

Xu Yuan looked at Hu Niu's accusations outside, but said calmly: "Although you are the sister of Lord Fucheng, you can't be so untrustworthy!" When I met you, please show evidence, and not blame me for what my brother did! ”

Empirical?

The officials in the hall looked at Hu Niu again, as if they really hoped that Hu Niu could come up with evidence.

The tiger girl looked confident, pointed at him and said seriously: "Your eyes, your nose, your face, just a little longer beard, you are clearly the big villain who murdered the little white lady, how can I remember wrong!" ”

Ay......

Everyone sighed lightly in disappointment, although the tone and demeanor of the tiger girl were very convincing, but based on this alone, it seemed that it really could not be regarded as evidence.

Xu Yuanwai looked very calm, but asked calmly: "How old were you back then?" ”

"I was six years old!" The tiger girl raised her chin and looked proud.

"Not to mention that it's been so long, can you still remember clearly, you were only six years old at the time, and I'm afraid you can't count the testimony!" Xu Yuanwai looked at the tiger girl contemptuously, and said with a rather familiar look at the law.

The Ming Dynasty inherited the Tang Law, and people over the age of 80, under the age of 10, and people with disabilities cannot testify. In addition, officials are also restricted from testifying, and if the official who testifies is higher than the presiding judge, it is equivalent to directly putting pressure on the presiding judge, thus causing unfair trial.

Hu Niu was still young at the time, and her testimony was indeed not convincing, but it was difficult to convict Xu Yuanwai because of this.

Xu Fan looked at all this with satisfaction, but he sneered: "Lord Fucheng, it's not that this Shaoqing wants to interfere in the court!" The new witness you summoned was silent, but your sister made a lot of nonsense in the public court, and people who don't know are afraid that this is your Lin family's private court! ”

"If it's really my Lin family's private hall, Lord Xu won't have a chair to sit on!" Lin Haoran's originally wavering heart suddenly became firm, and he naturally firmly supported his sister, and then deliberately diverted his gaze and said to the ugly-faced woman: "Who is in the hall?" ”

"People's girl Zhang!" The woman knelt down in response, but her vocal cords seemed to be broken.

Xu Yuanwai glanced at Zhang indifferently, but Zhang knelt in front of him, so that he could only see sideways. It's just that it's hard to judge from a thin figure.

Lin Haoran knew very well in his heart that the two businessmen who had found him turned against the water, which made him fall into a passive situation. Even if this woman is found to testify against Xu Yuanwai, but both sides insist on their own words, it is difficult to make the matter fair.

If he had found the right person to testify against Xu Yuanwai at the beginning, he would have been tortured and forced Xu Yuanwai to confess. But with the testimony of this fat businessman first, Xu Yuanwai pleaded not guilty, and it will be him Lin Haoran who is in trouble.

Lin Haoran has never been a gambler, and it is impossible for him to gamble on his future because of a small person. Unless there is sufficient evidence, if it is based on this woman's words alone, I am afraid that Ming Jin will still have to withdraw the army.

Lin Haoran just used this woman to divert everyone's attention, and he didn't have any hope in his heart, and asked routinely: "Do you really recognize this Xu Yuanwai?" ”

"Recognize!" Zhang Paper hesitated for a moment, and replied hoarsely.

Lin Haoran was not surprised by this answer, and asked as usual: "What evidence do you have?" ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes fell on this woman, eager for her to show substantial evidence to convict Xu Yuanwai.

It's just that many people don't have hope, including Lin Haoran.

It is not an easy task to prove who a person is in this day and age. In the past, when Lin Haoran served as the prefect of Leizhou, Liu San pretended to be the magistrate Tang Buyuan for a year, but no one found out.

At present, the capital is thousands of miles away from Songjiang, and with the people here in the capital, how easy is it to prove that Xu Yuanwai is Xu Dafa?

Zhang didn't show evidence, but suddenly raised his head and put forward a condition: "Please give the slave family twenty taels!" ”
