"Since Chen Xiancheng thinks that Song Wen has no motive to kill, and Song Wen confesses that his wife Song is the real murderer, then so be it......"

Hu Zeyi was very irritable and knocked heavily on the table with his hand, made a banging sound, got up and said, "Let Song Wen and the Song family confront each other in the court!" ”

"Hu County's order is to be promoted?" Chen Ziang asked.

Hu Zeyi snorted, and rushed to the station messenger who came to report the message and ordered: "You go to the capture class to spread the word of this county, and let Song Zhutou bring a few people to bring the Song family back to the county office, and then go to the court with Song Wen!" ”

After giving the order, Hu Zeyi turned his head and shouted at the door of the inner house of the second hall: "Butler, prepare official robes, this county will be promoted to the court to try the case!" ”

"Oh~" In the inner house, the old servant responded from afar.

……

……

Soon, when Hu Zeyi put on his official uniform and hat, Cui and Chen followed him and walked out of the second hall to the lobby together.

After Hu Zeyi sat down on the public case with full authority, there were already standing officials on both sides of the solemn hall holding court canes in their hands, and they were divided into two shifts.

A clerk was already sitting on the side of the corner of the hall, grinding and laying paper, ready to record the interrogation process.

As for Chen Ziang and Cui Geng, as adjutant officials of a county, they don't have to stand, but there are miscellaneous servants who bring chairs and place them on both sides of the court, and sit down to watch the trial of the case.

Syllable!

There was a startling sound.

"Ascension!"

Hu Zeyi shouted: "Come on... Take the suspect Song and his wife to court! ”

"Will... Take..."

“… Oh..."

"The county has an order to bring the prisoners Song and his wife to the court!"

Knock knock!

The officials shouted while holding the court staff in their hands, and the killing rod hit the ground with a neat and muffled sound, which was deafening, and the solemn public court became more and more powerful.

After a while, Song Wen and Mrs. Song were arrested and brought to court.

As soon as he entered the court, Song Wen's face was panicked, and he had mixed feelings in his heart. Thinking about it, just in the morning, he was still in charge of the county government household registration of a county's grain tax, and he was deeply relied on by the county magistrate, and he also participated in the morning Confucian temple worship and the groundbreaking ceremony of the county school hall as a member of the county government.

But now?

But he went to court as a murder suspect.

It's so wronged, it's a great grievance!

Song Wen looked at Dong Weng sitting on top of the public case, tears couldn't stop flowing, and he choked up: "Dong Weng, the student is wronged, wronged, you have to be the master of the student!" ”

wiped his tears and was about to step forward, but was stopped by Cui Geng loudly: "Bold Song Wen, the county lord hasn't asked yet, where are you making noise in the court?" Come on, let's hit the 30 sticks first! ”

Poof!

Song Wen was so frightened that he fell to his knees, and kowtowed to Hu Zeyi again and again: "Dong Weng Kai En, Dong Weng, the surname Cui is to announce his personal vendetta, and take the opportunity to take the student's life!" ”

Hit the 30 kills first? Doesn't that kill him? Song Wen didn't want to die under Cui Erlang's killing stick before he had just carried the wrongs and had not cleared up!

Seeing this, Cui Geng sneered again: "Damn, can you call the surname Cui?" There is no official of the imperial court, and he dares to rush into the court, come to someone, and add twenty sticks to this turtle grandson to kill the mighty stick! ”

"Ahem......"

Seeing that Cui Geng was making trouble for Song Wen, Hu Zeyi didn't want to be involved with Song Wen anymore, and his face was a little difficult to look at, he coughed twice, looked at Cui Geng and said: "County Lieutenant Cui, this official is trying the case in this public court today, and County Lieutenant Cui is still sitting quietly and watching!" ”

Obviously, Hu Zeyi has an opinion on Cui Geng's overstepping in the court.

Chen Ziang saw that before the interrogation of the suspect began, the county order and the county lieutenant were pinched, isn't this a joke in vain?

Immediately got up and relieved the siege and said: "Lieutenant Cui and sit down first, under these fifty court staffs, can Song Wen still live?" Before the trial began, the suspect was beaten to death, and the rumor really hurt the reputation of our Qingyuan County Ya. Let's wait and see the trial of Hu County's order! ”

Cui Geng finished his addiction, and achieved the goal of scaring Song Wen to kill him, and he didn't want to cause trouble anymore, so he sighed lightly and sat back in his position.

However, he still found Song Wen's wife, this fat woman has always had no different color since she entered the court, neither crying nor making trouble, nor being anxious, just quietly clubbing in place, looking stunned as if she had lost her soul.

"Song Wen, this official is promoted to the court today because of the murder of Mei Ji in Yanggufang in the south of the city, this official asks again, can you plead guilty?" Hu Zeyi's trial has officially begun.

Song Wen shook his head for the first time and shouted like a rattle: "Dong Weng, you know what the student thinks about Mei Ji, not only did he finally get her back from the Putian County Ya, but also raised him in the sheep workshop as an outer room, how could he harm her life for no reason?" ”

Speaking of this, he glanced at his wife Song with some weakness, and found that his wife was still standing like a pine, not moving at all, and her eyes were empty, as if she was like a person who was not breathing.

Seeing that, he gritted his teeth, and said secretly, let it go, whether this mother-in-law is annoyed or not, first clear the suspicion and live her life.

Then he looked up at Hu Zeyi suddenly, and said: "And in order to let Mei Ji be my outer room, the student also went to Tianshun Qian Zhuang a few days ago, and borrowed 300 yuan from Wu Shopkeeper to open a shop for Mei Ji. Not for anything else, just to let this woman be my outer room with peace of mind without seeking fame. The student cherished her so much, how could he be willing to harm her life? To borrow 300 yuan from Tianshun Qianzhuang, Dong Weng can send someone to invite the shopkeeper Wu to verify it in the court! ”

Hu Zeyi nodded secretly, in fact, he knew very well in his heart that Song Wen really had no motive to kill Mei Ji. However, he still glanced at Chen Ziang, who was sitting at the bottom of the hall watching the interrogation.

Chen Ziang got up when he saw the opportunity, and arched his hand: "Hu County Order, although Song Wen and Mei Ji committed such a big rebellion as incest, he is indeed reasonable, and the motive for killing cannot be established. Xia Guan suggested, first, to send someone to Tianshun Qianzhuang to ask the shopkeeper Wu to verify Song Wen's loan of 300 yuan, and second, to have someone call Lin Zhenying to the court, and now he should finish examining the body again in the house. Since the deceased was strangled to death by choking his neck with his hands, then let Lin Zhenying measure the thickness and length of the five fingers of the Song couple at the scene, and then make a comparison with the strangulation marks on the neck of the deceased. ”

When Hu Zeyi heard this, he nodded violently, and even arranged it.

Song Wen saw that Chen Ziang actually stood up for himself at a critical time, he was really moved to tears, and knelt down on Chen Ziang's knees again, shouting: "Chen Xiancheng knows right from wrong, and is willing to be the master for the students, and the students will be able to clear their grievances in the near future." ”

"Humph!"

Chen Ziang's face changed suddenly, and he scolded with disdain: "Song Wen, this official is not in charge of you, you must not be wrong." The official just doesn't want the real culprit to go unpunished! As for a person like you, who has no character and no virtue, you can do things that are contrary to human morality, it is really in vain to read the books of sages, this official disdains to talk to you, get away! ”

Song Wen's warm face was pressed against the cold buttocks, and he was extremely embarrassed for a while.

Cui Geng sat there and secretly had fun, and deliberately said cool words to Hu Zeyi: "Lord County, Chen Xiancheng is right, this kind of villain with no character and no virtue, no matter how many books he reads, is it useful?" The lower official advises you to stay away from him, so as not to tarnish your reputation as a county honor. ”

Obviously, Cui Geng's knife was very successful, and Hu Zeyi, who had always been at odds with him, actually nodded, and it seemed that he had completely given up on Song Wen.

After a few words, Lin Zhenying came to the court with a small wooden box, and then talked to Hu Zeyi, Cui Geng and others, and his second autopsy in the room had been completed.

Hu Zeyi asked him to measure the thickness and length of Song Wen and the five fingers of Song's hands on the spot, and compare them with the strangulation marks on the deceased's neck to see if they matched.

This is not a technical job, and soon Uncle Ying made a comparison and came up with the result - whether it was Song Wen or Song, it did not match the strangulation marks on the neck of the deceased.

The suspicion of murder by the Song couple can basically be ruled out.

Cui Geng was very disappointed, damn, let this old boy escape a hurdle again.

Hu Zeyi waved his hand at Lin Zhenying, signaling that he could step back, and then said: "Since Song Wen has no motive to kill, and the strangulation marks on his neck do not match the five fingers of his hands, then this case has nothing to do with him!" Of course, Song, you can also go back. As for the time of committing the crime, there is no need to corroborate, there is no point! ”

"Lord County, he didn't have time to commit the crime, and the women can testify that he did spend the night at home last night and didn't go out."

It was none other than the fat woman Song who had been standing in the public hall like a living dead.

Hey?

Although her words were irrelevant to whether Song Wen was suspicious or not, they still surprised Hu Zeyi, Cui Geng and others, and they all had a look on their faces.

Because Song Wen is notoriously afraid of guilt, this is not a secret in the county government. But today, she knew that Song Wen was raising an outer room outside, and he was incest and other rebellious things, and the most unforgivable thing was that Song Wen actually framed and framed his wife in order to protect herself, and almost implicated the Song family.

At this time, the Song family neither scolded Song Wen, nor fought with Song Wen, but was willing to prove for him that he didn't go out at home last night.

This is not Song's style.

Hu Zeyi even secretly speculated, isn't this fat woman crazy and stupid?

Cui Geng had long heard of the Song family's Hedong lion roar tigress, but now the Song family's current performance had to make him curious, and he couldn't help but get up and ask: "Mrs. Song, he is carrying you behind your back and is an outer, and he is an incestuous righteous daughter regardless of his reputation, and he also framed you as a murderer at the moment of crisis." Cui is very curious, why do you testify for this kind of person? Change me, hehe, a thousand knives have cut his heart! ”

Song Wen was secretly glad that he had just washed away his grievances, and now he saw that the fat woman was instigated by Cui Geng, and he couldn't help but feel scared in his heart, but he knew the fat woman's usual methods, and immediately jumped to his feet and shouted: "The surname is Cui, don't sow discord, I was also confused by Mei Ji, so I made something sorry for my wife." Hmph, my family affairs are not yet your turn to be reconciled by outsiders. Madame, ma'am—"

Song Wen called Song lightly twice, and there was an ugly dry smile on his thin face, and he didn't say anything: "After you go home, if you want to beat or scold, the prince will listen to you." Don't be instigated! ”

Who knew that when Song saw him approaching, he moved his fat body very hard, kept a few steps away from Song Wen, and didn't look at him, he still had a look of no different color, his eyes were empty and stunned, and he was silent for about three or five breaths, she suddenly raised her head and smiled miserably, very penetrating, and said in a dumb voice: "Lieutenant Cui, do you know what it's like to cry dry and your heart is dead?" The woman testified for him today, which is nothing more than to repay him for a 30-year husband and wife relationship. ”

Cui Geng heard the true meaning of these words, and inexplicably paid sincere respect to the fat woman of the Song family, and sighed from the bottom of his heart: "You are more sad than dead, Song Wen is sorry for you, he is even less worthy of you, Mrs. ”

Chen Ziang looked at the Song family sympathetically, looked at Cui Geng who was sitting opposite, and sighed in a low voice: "At this time, you can still be the master of this kind of villain who has lost his conscience and annihilated his conscience, which shows the depth of this woman's affection!" ”

Poof!

Song fell to his knees suddenly, his fat and huge body knelt down, and there was a lot of movement.

I saw Song kneeling on the ground with difficulty, trying his best to look up at Hu Zeyi above the court, and shouted with a hoarse voice but a resolute face: "Today, the people's women also have a matter, and I hope that the county commander will be the master for me!" ”
