Chapter 173: Peak Loop and Turn
This burden was not tightly wrapped, revealing a jade pendant and several pieces of jewelry, all of which were quite exquisite and worth a lot of money at first glance.
Now in front of the pair of men and women in prison clothes, the eight achievements are stolen!
Liang Bo listened to Wang Ruiyue's inquiry, his face couldn't help but tighten, and he scolded: "You crazy woman, haven't you seen anything good?" These are all stolen by two thieves from the mansion of Wu An's pacification envoy, what does it matter to you? ”
"Stolen from the Mansion of the Martial Envoy?" This time, Wang Ruiyue finally glanced at Liang Bo, and said, "Captain Liang, are you sure?" ”
Liang Bo swept slightly, and said nonchalantly: "Of course it's confirmed." ”
"Good!"
Wang Ruiyue said, glanced at Cui Geng beside him, and Chen Ziang, who was sitting on the yastage, and said: "Cui Yushi, Chen County Order, the concubine has something to ask this pair of prisoners, I don't know if it's okay?" ”
After all, she is just a woman, and she has no lord and no order, so naturally she can't overstep her responsibilities and ask prisoners privately in court. She must ask for the consent of Cui Geng and Chen Ziang, which is the most basic respect.
As for Liang Bo, who was supervising the trial, he was completely ignored by her.
Liang Bo was so angry that he gritted his teeth!
Cui Geng and Chen Ziang smiled at each other, nodded noncommittally, and agreed to her request.
Wang Ruiyue thanked him, looked at the pair of male and female prisoners, and asked, "What Liang Bo said is true?" You stole this burden from the Mansion of the Wu Pacification Envoy? ”
Although the pair of men and women didn't know what Wang Ruiyue did, they knew that she was not an ordinary person when they saw the official and did not kneel and was calm as usual.
They didn't deny it, and nodded and admitted.
Wang Ruiyue said to Cui Geng at this time: "Cui Yushi, please also send a document to let Liang Bo and the pair of prisoners draw a confession." ”
"Paintings? Shall I draw an egg for offering? When Liang Bo heard that he wanted to confess to the prisoner, he was immediately humiliated, and said angrily: "This is the case of Wu An's family, and the matter of Guan surnamed Cui?" Who is he qualified to intervene in this case? ”
"Hmph, this official is the political envoy of Lingnan Province, and he has the responsibility of supervising hundreds of local officials, even you Liang Bo are under the supervision of this imperial history, do you think I am qualified?"
Cui Geng glanced at Liang Bo and sneered: "Liang Bo, if you open your mouth and close your mouth and call this imperial history by name, believe it or not, I will let people tear your dog's mouth first?" ”
Cui Geng really has this power, after all, he is the political envoy of Lingnan Province, and his position is humble and powerful, Liang Bo is a little cowardly.
Afterwards, Chen Ziang and Cui Geng glanced at each other again, and they both felt that Wang Ruiyue's performance was not simple, and nodded slightly to each other.
At this time, Feng Changqing stepped forward very discerningly, took the transcript made by the little official just now, and presented it in front of Cui Geng.
Cui Dayushi brushed a little bit, the pen walked the dragon and snake, copied it three times, and stamped the big seal of the Lingnan Provincial Political Envoy.
Two for the man and woman, and one for Liang Bo.
This is official business, although the pair of prisoners honestly pressed their handprints, Liang Bo did not dare to provoke the authority of the imperial court to give a political envoy, and honestly signed his name.
After Wang Ruiyue saw that the three confessions had been drawn, she breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Chen County Order, the concubine wants to change the copy of the paper that was presented to you just now." ”
"Change to what?" Chen Ziang asked.
I saw Wang Ruiyue's expression gradually solemn, kneeling on the ground, and shouting: "The concubine's body should be changed to...... Sued Lingnan Dao to appease Wu Sanzhong and murder her concubine Zhang Zirui! ”
Chen Ziang hesitated: "Although Wu An's envoy is quite suspicious, this is mostly your speculation. If you want to directly accuse Wu Anfu of murdering the venerable husband, the evidence may not be enough, right? ”
Wang Ruiyue pointed to the three confessions and said, "It turned out that the evidence was indeed insufficient, but now there is physical evidence." ”
"What? Is this confession physical evidence? Chen Ziang instantly understood the reason why she was going to let Liang Bo draw a charge just now, and asked in surprise: "Wang, are you saying that the burden on this ground is ......?"
"To be precise, it should be the jade pendant in the package."
As she spoke, Wang Ruiyue took out a jade pendant from her sleeve pocket, raised her hands high, and said, "Chen County Order, please see, the jade pendant on the concubine's body and the jade pendant in the burden on the ground are one, and the texture can match completely." I have a month on this jade pendant, and a sub-character on that jade pendant. ”
Chen Ziang already understood in seconds, and hurriedly asked people to pick up the jade pendant in the baggage and present it, and said, "The jade pendant in the thief is Zhang Zirui's...... Relic? ”
As soon as she heard the word relic, Wang Ruiyue's eyes were a little red, and she said softly and weakly: "Exactly." Now that the human and material evidence are there, please ask Chen County to be the master of the slave family! ”
Liang Bo was already crying without tears at this time, what does it mean that there are all human and material evidence? The physical evidence is the jade pendant, doesn't the human evidence refer to him Liang Bo and the pair of criminals?
This damn mother-in-law, she actually let herself be detained with the pair of thieves on the spot, the reason was to confirm that this Zhang Zirui's relics came from the pacification envoy yamen.
It's over, it's over, it's all over it, it's deceived by this!
It's dead, Wu Sanzhong will never spare me!
He hurriedly explained: "What nonsense! The confession just now doesn't count, and the official didn't see it clearly. Belch...... There was no jade pendant in that baggage! ”
"Fuck you, do you want to be ashamed?"
Cui Geng sneered: "There is a royal history here, there is a Chen County Order, there are many officials, and there are even two prisoners, I heard with your own ears that this jade pendant is from the pacification envoy Yamen." And as you have seen with your own eyes, you have drawn a charge on this confession and confessed it! At this time, you still want to deny it? ”
"Fart, it's all fart!"
Liang Bo was also really anxious, and shouted madly: "In the entire Lingnan Dao, who doesn't know that you have a grudge against Wu An? Chen County's orders and officials were all coerced by you! This man and a woman... Not... That's right! ”
Liang Bo simply said: "They also have a grudge against the Wu Anfu Envoy, so they want to frame the Wu Anfu Envoy." You can ask Chen County Order, is this pair of prisoners at odds with Wu An's envoy? Let's see if Captain Pontus has wronged them! ”
Damn, this lie is made up of flowers~
Immediately, Cui Geng asked Chen Ziang and said, "Chen County Order, is he telling the truth?" I was listening in the hall just now, as if they had stolen something from Wu An's envoys? ”
"Well, yes, they did steal this burden from Wu An's family."
Chen Ziang nodded, smiled bitterly, and said, "But what Liang Duwei said is also true, the two of them do have a feud with Wu Anping!" The female prisoner under this hall is surnamed Ouyang, with a single name and a Yan character, and the male prisoner's surname is Zhuang, and his name is Zhongshun! Here's the thing......"
It turned out that the woman named Ouyang Yan in the hall was Wu Sanzhong's concubine who had not been accepted for a long time. What about the man named Zhuang Zhongshun? is Wu Sanzhong's groom.
Because Wu Sanzhong has many wives and concubines in his family, and he is a little older, men, the older he gets, the more powerless he is.
Therefore, this Ouyang little lady can't bear the loneliness of the spring boudoir, and the red apricot is out of the wall.
Not only that, but she also wants to stay with Zhuang Zhongshun for a long time.
So, she secretly took some of Wu Sanzhong's precious belongings, burdens, and eloped with Zhuang Zhongshun.
Wu Sanzhong was naturally furious when he found out, but he didn't want to arrest the dog man and woman to make a big fuss, after all, the name of the green-haired turtle was not good, and the concubine stole ~ Fishy and eloped with the poor groom, once it was rumored that he was powerless, would he still have the shame to stay in Guangzhou City?
Therefore, he did not send anyone to track them down, and announced to the outside world that Ouyang Yan died of a violent illness, so he should have suffered a dumb loss.
However, what is good is that Chen Ziang's servants are too powerful, and they found that the man and woman were suspicious, and secretly stalked about it, and actually solved this case!
Of course, Chen Ziang didn't understand what was going on, so he sent an official document to Wu Sanzhong, saying Who is the one who died violently in your family? I have arrested a pair of men and women with suspicious appearances, this woman claims to be your concubine, you send someone to check it, otherwise the lower officials will not dare to judge indiscriminately.
As soon as Wu Sanzhong looked at this official document, a mouthful of old blood did not spurt out, and he hurriedly instructed Liang Bo to grasp this matter, and be sure to put this case to rest unknowingly, and never pass it on to outsiders.
It's all men, Chen Ziang also understood after knowing the ins and outs, which is why the county government is trying the case behind closed doors today.
As a result, Cui Geng ran in by mistake, forming a case within a case!
After hearing this, Wang Ruiyue couldn't help crying bitterly and said, "How can there be such a coincidence in the world? I'm afraid that I will not disperse the soul of my hard-working husband and arrange this jade pendant to avenge him! ”
In these years, most people believe in the theory of ghosts and gods, and when they hear this, everyone changes color.
Cui Geng glanced around, and Lang said: "Now it seems that Zhang Beijia's case is settled." Wu An's envoy is an official of the imperial court, and this official has no right to do anything with him? Let's find the Hou deposed envoy and uphold justice. ”
Chen Ziang understood Cui Geng's intentions, scolded and slipped his head, nodded with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "Or Cui Yushi has thought it through, it should be so!" ”
So, he ordered Feng Changqing to look at Liang Bo to prevent this guy from reporting the news.
Then, Chen Ziang and Cui Geng jointly wrote an official document and sent it to Hou Sizhi.
With such a big case, Hou Sizhi didn't dare to slack off, and when he first arrived in Guangzhou City, what happened to him, the Lingnan Dao deposed envoy sent by the imperial court, he also had to brush up on his sense of existence, didn't he?
Therefore, in the name of deposing the envoy, he sent people to invite Wu Sanzhong, and on the other hand, he rushed to the South China Sea Yamen with his own people.
About an hour later, everyone arrived.
Nanhai County Ya, in the second hall.
Hou Sizhi was in danger and sat in the center.
Cui Geng and Wu Sanzhong sat on both sides of him, these two people were a Lingnan Provincial Governor and a Lingnan Provincial Pacification Envoy, although the rank was low and the other was high, but they sat on both sides, so naturally Cui Geng took advantage.
Wu Sanzhong secretly glanced at Cui Geng, his eyes were fierce and ruthless, he wanted to put the other party to death, if it wasn't for this damn Cui Erlang to intervene today, how could this tattered thing in his family that couldn't be on the table be exposed?
Hou Sizhi saw it in his eyes, and he was also depressed in his heart, why are you two suffering? Lao Tzu came down this time to avoid the evil spirit of the Chang'an Imperial Court, and he still wanted his wife to endure in Lingnan Dao for two years, why was it so difficult?
There is no way, now that the case has developed to this stage, it is useless to want to operate in the dark, so I have to face and solve it openly.
As the most powerful figure in the hall, Hou Sizhi had to preside over the case and took the lead in speaking: "Zhongkou, Zhang Zirui's jade pendant was found in the mansion of the Wu Anfu envoy. On this issue, I don't know what explanation does the military envoy have? ”
"Hmph, explain what?"
Wu Sanzhong was ashamed in his heart, and said confidently: "This official admits that this jade pendant is mine." But...... I didn't get it from Zhang Zirui, but someone else sent it into my house to honor a certain family. ”
"Who honors?"
"It is the shopkeeper of Guangzhou City Xinyuan Quality Warehouse. To tell the truth, this Xinyuan quality library, this appeasement envoy is the owner behind the scenes. The shopkeeper got such a good thing, and he dedicated it to the official. Hmph, who knows if Zhang Zirui pawned this thing himself, or if someone stole him? But in any case, the case of Zhang Zirui's disappearance has nothing to do with Ben's appeasement! ”
The so-called quality warehouse is a pawnshop, in the Tang Dynasty, there was no pawnshop name, but there was this industry. In the Song Dynasty, it was renamed the Changsheng Library. It was not until the Ming Dynasty that it was officially named a pawnshop.
Although Hou Sizhi doesn't know how to learn, and he doesn't even know how to read, he can fool Wu Zetian into a cripple, and his mind is actually quite smart.
After thinking about it for a while, he understood that Wu Sanzhong's words were not completely unreasonable, and it was likely that he had suffered an unjustified disaster.
An order was immediately issued for the officials to detain Jindeli, the treasurer of the Xinyuan Quality Library.
About half an hour later, Kindley arrived, and he was very impressed by this jade pendant, saying that it was a monk from Youfang.
Cui Geng is anxious now, because if this continues, Wu Sanzhong's suspicion will be completely cleared.
He asked aloud, "Where is the monk from Youfang now?" What is the legal name? ”
Jindeli replied: "This monk's name is Mingfei, as for where he is now, the villain doesn't know." Cui Yushi, think about it, since he is a monk in Youfang, of course he has no fixed place. ”
"You ......"
Cui Geng suddenly became furious, and then tried his best to calm down, and said secretly, could it be that the news was leaked during the previous trial, so that Wu Sanzhong could confess with this pawnshop shopkeeper before he came? If you take it off like this, it really makes Wu Sanzhong pick himself clean, which is very bad!
