Xiao Yu'er casually ordered a case and said, "Let's bet on the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law case." ”

The dealer took a look, and this was not a strange case. However, this case is also the most difficult, if Lord Bao's final trial is the same as the original verdict, then he will lose. If it's different, this will be a big game, not only offending people, but it is estimated that even the people in the criminal department will be offended. It is conceivable that the intentions of the god catcher are good.

The dealer advised: "This is a case from two years ago, and it has been eight or nine years old. If it weren't for the fact that this woman was pregnant with Rokka, she would have been executed by the Autumn Queen a long time ago. He thinks about Xiao Yu'er, and he is worthy of the consulting fee of a few taels of silver.

"No, I do. I'm headstrong. Xiao Yu'er stopped the dealer's persuasion. It seems that ordinary local tyrants don't care about these silver taels at all.

"Not only do I want to bet on Lord Bao to win, but I also want to bet that he can solve the case tomorrow."

"Good boy, you're crazy." Of course, this is the dealer's psychology and said, how high the odds are, immediately calculated with the abacus crackling, and said: "35 times~~~"

"Why not?" The little fish looked at the dealer and said.

The dealer smiled: "Yes, of course you can, anyway, it's your money, I don't know how much you want to press objectively?" ”

"1,000 taels."

"Rich, capricious." The dealer was worried, but he still gave Xiao Yuer a ticket, writing that the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law case will be solved tomorrow, the odds are 1:35, 1000 taels of silver, etc., and finally both parties pay according to their fingerprints, in duplicate.

Bao Heizi watched Xiao Yu'er come back with flying eyebrows, and said, "How is it?" ”

Xiao Yu'er showed the contract to Master Bao, who took it and glanced at it and said, "You are really rich, 1,000 taels of silver." Borrow money from both of you, and the one who picks the door will die. ”

"It's not my money anyway."

"Whose money is that?"

"Uncle Guo's money. If they win, let's go and ask for it, and if they lose, they have the ability to go with Uncle Guo. ”

Wang Dynasty looked at the two people, one big and one small, and secretly thought: black. Really/black.

Then Master Bao and Xiao Yu'er returned to the yamen and began to study the case. Learn from the dossier:

Defendant: Qiu Ju

Plaintiffs: Folks (this is a big concept)

Experience: Qiu Ju's husband's surname is Liu, named Liu An, who died unexpectedly while going out. Only she and her mother-in-law were left at home. The mother-in-law is widowed and has an itchy body. Silence after a stroke. Later, he lost sight in both eyes, was paralyzed in bed, and could not take care of himself. One day, my mother-in-law hanged herself.

There is no useful value on this dossier, which makes people look at the eggs, to be honest, a person who can't take care of himself. The possibility of wanting to commit suicide is very small, only he kills. And among the other killings, this Qiu Ju is the most suspicious. Is it really to uphold the original verdict and wait for the autumn queen to ask for beheading?

"My lord, this case is not easy to handle, isn't it?" After Wang Dynasty learned about the dossier, he reported to Lord Bao.

Xiao Yu'er cheered them up and said:

"With adults here, there is no case that cannot be solved."

Wang Chao said very realistically: "But we can only win if we overturn the original verdict." But how do you look at this case, we have a big loss. ”

Xiao Yu'er looked at Master Bao and said:

"Your Excellency. It's up to you, in the future, you will eat and drink spicy food, and you will completely look at one vote. ”

Mr. Bao was also clueless, but he thought of the 35 times odds on that ticket. His eyes were bloodshot:

"For the sake of money, fight?! Tomorrow's trial"

……

The next day, the Yamen of Kaifeng Mansion opened a court for arraignment, and Lord Bao in the hall ordered: "This official will try the case of He Qiuju's murder of her mother-in-law." Next, a group of prisoners and witnesses will be summoned to the lobby. ”

Lord Fu Yin ordered, and the following immediately got busy, while going to the prison to extract prisoners. On the one hand, he found out the files of the day and summoned the witnesses of the time; The torture room went to look for the evidence at that time, but because of the chaotic management, the ropes and other items of that day had long disappeared, so he had to return empty-handed.

After being busy for a while, all the people and certificates were all here, and they were all villagers on the outskirts of the city, in the same village as Qiu Ju. When they saw Qiu Ju's mother-in-law dying strangely, they were angry and sued the government.

Seeing that everyone had arrived, Master Bao slapped the shocked wood on the table, and then asked, "Who is the plaintiff in this case, stand up and speak." ”

I saw an old man trembling out of the witnesses, and knelt on the ground with difficulty: "My lord, the old man is an elder in the village, his name is Liu Neng, and he is entrusted by the villagers to serve as the plaintiff. ”

Seeing that he was old, Master Bao said, "Uncle Liu got up and spoke. Tell me about the day? ”

The old man propped up his cane on the ground, but he still couldn't struggle. Master Bao nodded, and the errand officer next to him stepped forward to help the old man. Old man Liu Neng took a breath, and then said, "Master Xie, that Qiu Ju's husband's surname is Liu, and his name is Liu An. The old lady was widowed when she was young, and she pulled the child up, and her body was tired. At first, he suffered a stroke and was silent. Later, I was so sad that I almost lost my sight, which was really pitiful. ”

Speaking of this, the old man sighed a few times and continued: "Fortunately, my son Liu An is more competitive and has done some small business, but he can barely survive...... Later, he married Qiu Ju from a neighboring village, probably more than three months after marriage. Liu An went out to do business, but he disappeared without a trace, and later a traveling companion from the same village came back and said that Liu An had met a gangster on the road and had been killed. ”

When Master Bao heard this, he interjected: "Since they got married, how has Qiu Ju treated her mother-in-law?" You are all in the same village, so you should have some understanding, right? ”

The old man glanced at the other witnesses, and then said, "This is not bad, before this happened." The people in the village also praised Qiu Ju's filial piety, cooked for her mother-in-law on time, and often groomed her mother-in-law. Unexpectedly, she turned out to be doing it on the surface for others to see. In fact, the heart is like a snake and scorpion. ”

The other witnesses also nodded their heads together, apparently agreeing with the old man's statement. Master Bao waved his hand and motioned for him to continue.

The old man then continued: "When I got up that morning, I heard He Qiuju crying in the courtyard, so we rushed over to take a look. When she entered the house, her mother-in-law was hanging herself from the bed. Your Excellency, how can she, a paralyzed person, commit suicide? It must have been He Qiuju who saw her husband die and didn't want to support the elderly, so she murdered her and remarried as soon as possible. ”

When Master Bao heard this, he raised a file in his hand and asked loudly: "What was the specific situation that day, this test certificate only wrote that the old man was hanged." Nothing else! ”

Master Bao's heart is really indescribably angry, because he filled in very briefly, many valuable clues were lost in vain, which is really irresponsible.

The old man thought about it for a while, walked back to the pile of witnesses, and then discussed it with everyone, and finally elected a relatively young man to talk back. It seems that he is old, and he can't remember the events of a few years ago.

"See Lord Qingtian." The young man kowtowed to Master Bao.

Master Bao asked, "Do you know what happened that day?" ”

The young man nodded and said, "Back to my lord, the scene of that day was very shocking, and it was the first time for the villain to see someone hanged, so he remembered it very clearly." ”

Master Bao said majestically: "Then you will tell me the details of the day." (To be continued......)
