Chapter 658: Confrontation (Part II)
Su Jin looked at Xia Zhu and said, "In this way, Lord Xia originally suspected that I, Su Jin, brought a firearm and someone to run away to do a big case, right?" ”
Xia Zhu rolled his sleeves and said coldly: "The official didn't say that, but since you have a powerful firearm, the official naturally wants to check it, and make it clear to prove your innocence." ”
Su Jin said with a smile: "Let's not mention whether the firearm can kill people, just your reason for judging the case is problematic." ”
Xia Zhu said: "I want to ask Master Su to teach me how to judge the case." ”
Su Jin said unashamedly: "Although the lower official is not from the chief official background, and he is not very proficient in government affairs, he also knows that the motive and evidence must be investigated first to determine the case...... It's too ......."
Xia Zhu said angrily: "What's too much? ”
Su Jin said: "It's too stupid......"
Xia Zhu shouted: "Presumptuous, is the little Qipin Sheren talking to Shangguan like this?" ”
Yan Shu hurriedly handed over his eyes, and reasoned reasonably, but he couldn't distinguish between dignity and inferiority, otherwise he would definitely attract criticism from everyone, but he would be passive.
Su Jin said: "Then may I ask, even if I have the kind of firearm you said can cause casualties, what is my motive?" ”
Xia Zhu said in his heart: Isn't your motive to save the little lady named Rou Niang? But these things in private were tacitly avoided by the two of them, didn't they secretly tie up Rou Niang and force the little lady to death? Since such things are not on the table, it is naturally inconvenient to say them.
"Regardless of the motive first, as long as you have a firearm, this official has the right to investigate you, how can you investigate the big case of more than 20 lives, step by step, and if you want to stabilize the panicked people's minds, you don't need to be rigid about small details."
Today, Xia Zhu called himself under the guise of inquiry, but in fact, it was just to tell him about his private possession of firearms, and he wanted to use this matter to arouse the suspicion of the emperor and his ministers, so as to achieve his goal of revenge; It's just that he miscalculated, and he didn't expect the emperor's reaction to this matter to be so cold, so in the face of Su Jin's rhetorical question, he was a little unprepared.
Even if Su Jin was right, Xia Zhu didn't dare to put the private grievances between the two on the table, not that Xia Zhu didn't want to, the most important thing was that neither of them caught the handle of the other, although they did everything to the death, but the real evidence was not left at all.
"Lord Xia is saying that in order to solve the case, you don't need a motive, right? As long as there is a little clue to arouse suspicion, you can directly investigate, and it doesn't hurt to be wrong, all in order to solve the case, right? ”
"Exactly, the old man doesn't think that asking you a few words about Lord Su will have any impact on your Lord Su's reputation, on the contrary, if Lord Su can reasonably explain and prove his innocence, it may not be a good thing."
"Okay, there is some truth in this, since this is the case, Xia Guan wants to ask Lord Xia to prove his innocence, because...... I suspect that this bloody case was done by you, Lord Xia! ”
Su Jin said this lightly, and immediately thundered everyone present.
Xia Zhu was so angry that he couldn't bear it, this time even Lu Yijian, Du Yanyan, Shu Fubi, and even Zhao Zhen couldn't bear it.
"Master Su, are you crazy? Above the court, in front of the emperor, is it a place where you are talking nonsense, the emperor, the old minister thinks that just this words must be punished. Lu Yijian said majestically.
Zhao Zhen also frowned, and said coldly: "Su Jin, you haven't passed the imperial examination, you don't read much, don't you even know how to speak?" Xia Aiqing's house suffered a catastrophe, it was a time of sadness and grief, how could you say such an unjust thing, how could it be reasonable. ”
The ministers also discussed, pointing at Su Jin and shaking their heads with contempt.
"It's really a shame for us to stand on top of the court with this kind of person!"
"Exactly, without any mercy, the words of beasts are really difficult to hear."
In the midst of the discussion, Zhao Zhen said majestically: "Su Jin! Quickly kowtow to Deputy Envoy Xia and apologize! ”
Su Jin stood still proudly and said slowly: "Your Majesty, why do the ministers apologize to Lord Xia?" ”
Zhao Zhen shook his head and said: "It's just wrong, I don't know what is wrong, I am really disappointed in you." ”
Yan Shu smacked his lips again and again, and stepped forward to urge Su Jin to apologize quickly, but unexpectedly Su Jin stretched out his hand to stop him.
"Your Majesty, my lords, what's wrong with you? I'm completely inferred from Lord Xia's thinking, why are you all accusing me? Su Jin said.
"Joke, why did Lord Xia say that he committed the case?" Du Yan seized the opportunity and angrily reprimanded Su Jin.
Su Jin said: "Lord Xia really didn't say it explicitly, but Lord Xia said that there is no need for motives, as long as there are clues to follow, you can properly suspect it, and Xia Guan deduced this conclusion according to Lord Xia's thinking, so what's wrong?" ”
Lu Yijian got up slowly and said: "Su Jin, you are a talent, but you don't know self-love, the old man has been in the court for thirty years, and he has not seen such a lazy person as you, today you are not punished, and the old man will not give up." ”
Su Jin smiled: "It's really a big joke, I follow Lord Xia's way of thinking, and make possible inferences in order to solve the case, why am I angry?" ”
Zhao Zhen was enraged by Su Jin's indifferent attitude, suppressed his anger and said coldly: "Su Jin, if you don't explain it clearly today, don't blame me for your crimes; Although you are talented, there are as many talented people as there are in my Great Song Dynasty, and you are not one of them. ”
Su Jin arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, let Weichen explain the reason, if what Weichen said is unreasonable, let the emperor punish the crime." ”
Zhao Zhen shouted: "Say! ”
Su Jin trembled in his heart, it seems that he has played big, and Zhao Zhen is really hairy.
Su Jin turned to Xia Zhu, who was looking at him angrily, arched his hand and said, "Lord Xia, the bloody case of your mansion is a household name, and hearsay may not be accurate, so I will ask you for a few points to verify." ”
Xia Zhu snorted and did not answer.
"I heard that there was a nursing home in the Yuzhang Building that night, but there were more than one people, and all of them died, yes or no?"
Xia Zhu said coldly: "There are twenty-eight nurses and three servants, all of whom have died!"
Su Jin nodded and said: "It seems that the rumors are true, then please ask again, it is said that Miss Ling Aixia was also in the Yuzhang Tower that night, but she escaped by luck, but I don't know if it is true or not?" ”
Xia Zhu said: "God bless, the little girl really escaped magically. ”
Su Jin nodded and said: "This word magic is used well, all the martial arts guards were killed, and Miss Xia, who was powerless, was able to get out 'magically', I have to say that this matter is too strange." ”
When Su Jin mentioned this, everyone thought it was weird, how could a weak woman become a fish that slipped through the net?
"I don't know what Ling Ai's explanation for this." Su Jin asked.
Xia Zhu said helplessly: "The little girl said that he heard the sound of fighting in the front yard, so he escaped from the back door under the desperate cover of four backyard guards. ”
Su Jin nodded and said: "Ling Ai is really alert, but why did Ling Ai escape alone, and there was no one in the servant women's nursing home to follow and protect, does Ling Ai have an explanation?" ”
Xia Zhu said: "The little girl said that it was extremely chaotic that night, and she was also frightened and dazed, so I don't know why no one followed her to escape; Master Su, this matter is only clear to the parties concerned, you ask the old man, but the old man doesn't know what the servants of the nursing home think; The little girl was frightened, and it is understandable that she can't remember the events of that night, and the old man really can't explain the real situation to you. ”
Su Jin nodded and said, "Okay, since this matter is inconclusive, let's not mention it for the time being; Here's another question, how many people entered your house that night? When an eyewitness sees something. ”
Xia Zhu said: "After inquiry, the Criminal Division of Kaifeng Mansion has inquired and investigated, but there are witnesses, but what they say is miraculous, and it is not enough to prove it. ”
Su Jin said with a smile: "The words of the witnesses are not enough evidence, so what else is there to use as evidence?" Say, what do you see? ”
Xia Zhu puffed out his eyes and thought for a while, and said, "It is said that there are five or six masked men who entered the Yuzhang Building to commit murder, and it is also said that they are all high-rise people, who can fly the eaves and walk over the walls. The walls and rooms are all seen in a panic, with an element of exaggeration. ”
Su Jin said with a smile: "Kung Fu can be exaggerated, the number of people should not be exaggerated, the number of five or six people should not be wrong, will it be less than this?" ”
Xia Zhu said: "Several people say that it is five or six people, and it will not be wrong." ”
Su Jin nodded and said: "Then the problem comes, five or six people against the twenty-eight nursing homes, but twenty-eight people are killed, which is too strange; Even if all your nursing homes are three-legged cats, but there will be no problems with the brain, so that love knows to escape, but these nursing homes are willing to die, is this what everyone says would rather die than give in? If this is the case, then they will be given a monument. ”
Xia Zhu said: "The old man said that no one knows the real situation, and he can only find out clearly." ”
Su Jinyou looked around, looked at the officials and said, "What do you think about this?" In my opinion, first, the escape of love is suspicious; Second, it is obviously unreasonable for all 28 people in the family to be killed but none of them escaped; Thirdly, three unthreatening servants were also killed, apparently to cover up the truth; To sum up the above three, I suspect that the strongman that night must have something to do with Lord Xia, or at least something to do with Miss Xia, if there is no internal action, how can he kill it cleanly, and why do you need to kill the three servants? How could Miss Xia escape? ”
Everyone gasped for a while, Su Jin's analysis was indeed reasonable, and all kinds of contradictions could not be reasonably explained without such an explanation, and everyone couldn't help but look at Xia Zhu with doubts, expecting Xia Zhu to give a reasonable explanation.
Yan Shu let out a sigh of relief, and secretly raised his big finger at Su Jin to show his approval, and was finally pulled back by this kid, otherwise it would be really difficult to clean up, it seems that Su Jin came prepared.
Su Jin smiled and said in his heart: Of course you are called tall and big-fingered, can I not say what I did with my own hands?
