Chapter 1114: Opening the court to try the murder case

Biqu Pavilion ., the fastest update of the latest chapter of struggle in the Tang Dynasty!

Then, Cui Geng briefly introduced the origin of this deed.

When Xiao Wuniang ran away from home to follow Li Xiu, his father Xiao Fang was not at ease, so he took the initiative to find Cui Geng, and on the condition of completely betraying Li Xiu, he begged Cui Geng to let Xiao Wuniang live.

Cui Geng didn't have any hatred for Xiao Wuniang, and nodded in agreement.

However, Xiao Fang was still not at ease, fell to his knees, and begged Cui Geng to accept a deed (see Chapter 566).

This deed was taken out by Cui Geng yesterday, and Xiao Fang was willing to marry his daughter Xiao Wuniang to Cui Geng as a concubine.

His unease here does not mean that Cui Geng's words are not counted, but that he is afraid that with Cui Geng's ability, he will not be able to save Xiao Wuniang at that time.

After all, Li Xiu is engaged in a rebellious business, and after the case of this thing, he will punish the Nine Clans. With the relationship between Xiao Wuniang and Li Xiu, there is no escape from this connection.

Therefore, Xiao Fang asked Cui Geng to take this deed to prove that Xiao Wuniang was his concubine and excuse Xiao Wuniang.

However, man is not as good as heaven. Li Xiu committed suicide by jumping into the lake for no apparent reason, Xiao Wuniang took her son back to Meizhou, and the deed in Cui Geng's hand never came in handy.

This time, Cui Geng was the pacification envoy of Jiannan Province, so he took this deed with him and prepared to return it to Xiao Fang to completely end the matter.

Unexpectedly, this deed came in handy yesterday.

The logic of these words was very smooth, and after Shangguan Wan'er and Xiao Wuniang heard it, their faces were a little sneering.

Shangguan Wan'er's face was slightly red, and she said with a smile: "What's that...... I'm sorry, I'm ...... The concubine is really wrong to blame you. ”

"Where." Cui Geng said with a hippie smile: "The relationship between the two of us is not separated from each other, so how can we apologize?" ”

"What...... What the...... What do we have to do with each other...... Finish? Thinking that the two had already had a skin-to-skin relationship, Shangguan Wan'er really didn't have enough confidence to say this, and her pretty face became more and more red and glamorous.

……

Xiao Wuniang saw that the words of the two were full of ambiguity, but there were some gains and losses.

Originally, she thought that Cui Geng was interested in herself, and even if she rejected him sternly, he would be attentive to his father's lawsuit.

Now, it seems, is not the case at all. It seems that apart from the problem of complexion, Cui Geng has no reason to meddle in this case at all. Not to mention, will the woman next to her prevent the slightest slight, and directly prevent Cui Geng from interfering in this case.

Finally, Xiao Wuniang couldn't help it anymore and interrupted: "Regarding my father's case, I don't know if King Ji has any plans?" ”

"I don't have any ideas yet." Cui Gengdao: "You were at the scene at the time, what suspicious points did you find?" ”

Xiao Wuniang shook her head and said, "There are no doubts. It's just that Sun Sancai looked fine at the time, but he died that night. Why do you say that my father beat him to death? He also asked King Ji to administer justice for his father. ”

Shangguan Wan'er was in a very good mood at this time, and took the initiative to interject: "That's not what I said, my Datang law has a provision: 10 days for beating people with hands and feet, 20 days for beating people with other objects, 30 days for those who hurt people with blades and soup fire, and 50 days for those who break limbs and broken bones. During these periods, if the victim dies, the perpetrator is punished as homicide. The name of this system is "Bao Gu", haven't you heard of Xiao Niangzi? ”

"Anything else?" Xiao Wuniang panicked and said, "That's ...... Didn't the father of the family want to compensate for Sun Sancai's life? What can I do? ”

Cui Geng comforted: "Mrs. Xiao and relax. Then Sun San was at fault first, even if Ling Zun was convicted of intentional homicide, it would not be a death penalty. Besides......"

"How?"

Cui Geng groaned: "I always feel that there are too many coincidences in this case. I'm afraid, there is something else to hide. ”

……

……

Another day later, Xiao Fang's assault and murder case officially began to be heard.

In ancient times, in order to show that officials did not show favoritism, many cases were tried in public, and the military and civilians could not help but watch.

Xiao Fang's case is related to King Cui Geng of Ji, and Quan Huaien simply opened the Yizhou Yamen, not only inviting local elders to watch the trial, but also allowing the people to watch.

On that day, Quan Huai'en took the main seat, Cui Geng sat on his left side, the officials were divided into two compartments, the local elders sat behind the officials, and the hall was full of ordinary people.

Quan Huaien slapped the shocked wood and said, "Ascension!" ”

"Mighty!"

In the shouts of the officials, Xiao Fang was escorted up. His expression was calm, his eyes were flexible, and he didn't look like he had been wronged.

"Grass people Xiao Fang, meet the adults!"

"Bold Xiao Fang, how did you get into an argument with Sun Sancai, and how did you beat him to death, and you didn't invite him quickly."

"Yes, the villain obeys. On the same day, Sun Sancai came to Xiao Lao'er's house......"

Xiao Fang didn't hide it, and introduced the incident, which was basically the same as what Quan Huaien introduced to Cui Geng at the beginning.

After saying that, he drew an offering.

Quan Huaien nodded and said, "Well, you are also honest and didn't lie to this official." Of course, whether Sun Sancai was killed by you or not is not certain, we have to look at the results of the autopsy. ”

Then, he ordered, "Leng Shun, you have already experienced Sun Sancai's corpse before. Today, you will re-examine it again in front of everyone. Remember, be careful and don't make any mistakes! ”

"Yes!"

After Sun Sancai died, the family took the initiative to report to the official, and at this time, there was no burial at that time, but it was wrapped in a roll of mats.

He opened the mat coldly, took off Sun Sancai's clothes, and carefully inspected it.

Finally, Leng Shun reported: "The deceased's body surface did not have any other injuries except for the marks of being beaten, and it should indeed be beaten to death." ”

"In that case, fill the corpse grid."

"Yes."

After all the procedures were completed, Quan Huaien said to Cui Geng: "It seems that it is indeed Xiao Fang who made a mistake for a while and killed Sun Sancai. If King Ji is not at ease, he can send someone else to check it. ”

"It's fine."

Zhou Xingyuan was in Weizhou, and Cui Geng had no post-mortem talents, so he had to examine it himself.

However, he looked at it for a long time, but he didn't see any doorway.

Quan Huaien said: "If King Ji has no opinion, this official will announce the verdict." ”

"Uh......" Cui Geng stiffened his head and said: "The murder case is very important, is the history of Quan Changshi postponed for a few more days?" You are famous in the world for your reputation as a "capable official", but because of this case, you have tarnished your name for a lifetime. ”

Quan Huaien shook his head and said: "The evidence in this case is ironclad, and the only complicated thing is that it involves you, King Ji Chitose." The official did not dare to pronounce the verdict on the spot, so he would tarnish his reputation. Now, the official declares ......"

At this moment, Cui Geng was really anxious.

He thought to himself, although I intuitively felt that this case was wrong, but there was no reason to convince others.

And the most important thing, I just admitted that Xiao Wuniang is my concubine, and Xiao Fang was disposed of by Quan Huaien in the blink of an eye, where can I put my face?

What to do? What to do?

At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded in the crowd

"King Ji doesn't have to worry, I can testify that there is someone else who killed Li Sancai!"
