Chapter 605: Confession
Judge Cui's status didn't seem to be low, and this sound made the bull head and horse face in the Yama Hall stop, and Lord Yama said a little unhappily: "Judge Cui, what do you mean!" ”
"The king, please calm your anger, the minister suddenly found that when a few unjust ghosts came to the Hades Palace to complain these days, it was this fang who complained!" Judge Cui hurriedly explained: "Those unjust ghosts are angry, and they refuse to reincarnate, and they complain outside the hall all day long, which is very annoying. This Li Chun can't escape the condemnation, why not bring those unjust ghosts to confront them to relieve their grievances! ”
"Not bad." After thinking about it, Lord Yama turned his anger into joy and said, "Bring those unjust ghosts!" ”
The bulls and horses on both sides hurriedly answered, but when they saw the wind in the hall and the lights dim, the ghosts cried for a while.
After a while, a bull-headed horse with a headless ghost on his face, the ghost was tall, dressed in a death row uniform, and holding a bloody, dead head in his hand! The head had seven holes and six bloods, and his face was hideous, but Li Chun could still vaguely see that it seemed to be the executed Qi Dazhu!
What's even more terrifying is that the head actually spoke, he stared at Li Chun angrily, and roared: "Thief, return my life!" ”
"Qi Dazhu, you stand aside, if you dare to roar at the Yama Hall again, you will be sent to the blood pool hell!" Judge Cui reprimanded in a deep voice.
The head closed its mouth in fear, and was held by its body and retreated to the side, but a pair of blood-red eyes were still looking at Li Chun resentfully in the dark.
After a while, another old woman with a long tongue was brought up, and as soon as the 'Qi Dazhu' saw her, she cried and called 'Niang', obviously this old woman was Qi Dazhu's 'old lady', and after the Qi Dazhu was executed that day, his mother also hanged herself, so she became a hanged ghost.
When the two of them met and hugged their heads and cried, seeing that Lord Yan showed impatience again, Judge Cui hurriedly signaled Niu Tou Ma Mian to separate the two.
The next person to be brought up was a sturdy middle-aged man who was bleeding from seven orifices, this person Li Chun didn't know, but he also knew by guess that he was a blacksmith Zhang who was poisoned by his nephew.
However, Li Chun did know the fourth unjust ghost brought up, and it turned out to be Yan Qing of the original criminal department who reviewed the case, Yan Qing was not as unruly as other ghosts, and he bowed respectfully to Lord Yama, and stood up in the designated position.
The Netherworld has this benefit, and there is no need to worry about no witnesses, even Zhang Ma's mother, Zhang Gouzi, who was a vain ghost, was brought to the temple from the hell of vain death. When these unjust ghosts stood in front of Li Chun one by one, if he didn't feel that he was dead, Li Chun would definitely be scared to death......
Listening to those dead ghosts keep asking for Li Chun's life, Lord Yama was irritable for a while, and said: "Don't be impatient, then Li Chun is already here, in this Yama Palace, are you still afraid that he will not confess!" Only then did the dead ghosts obediently shut up, and Lord Yama turned to Li Chun and shouted: "Li Chun, you have done evil things in the world, can you be guilty?" ”
Li Chun trembled like chaff, and shouted injustice vigorously, and Judge Cui on the side said again: "Idiot, do you still want to deny it when you go to the underworld?" It is clearly written in this book of life and death that you have accepted bribes, framed the loyal and good, killed people and killed people, deceived the king, and sinned deeply! The sun has been concealed by you, but it is difficult to hide it in my underworld! The so-called good and evil are rewarded, it is not that they are not rewarded, the time has not yet come! Now is the time for you to be punished, unless there is something else hidden, whether you recruit or not, you are in danger! ”
Judge Cui read the words 'unless there is another hidden secret' very seriously, which made Li Chun's heart stir.
"What else are you talking about with him?" King Yama scolded: "The current Yongle Emperor of the Ming Dynasty is the reincarnation of the Zhenwu Emperor who eliminated demons, and he is the most wise, how can he instruct this guy to be evil, it must be his own greed for bribes and deceive the king to gain power!" This kind of traitor has never been stubborn! Now that the bitter master is there, there is no way to forgive him, Hugh wants to waste Lonely's time, left and right, and serve Lonely! ”
"The king, the rules cannot be abolished...... Judge Cui whispered, "The king of the wheel has long wanted to find a trick to sue the king......
"That guy just let the horses come!" King Yama raised his eyebrows, but he still said kindly: "Then let him recruit, if this fang has half a hesitation, he must be cunning, that is, fork him into the oil pot, so that he will never turn reincarnation!" ”
As soon as both sides agreed, there were bull heads and horses on the side to refuel, and to fill the fire, waiting for Li Chun to say his confession, that is, to fork him in!
When Li Chun saw such a situation, he knew that he was in a catastrophe, so he made a plan in his heart, and listened to the meaning of the king of Hades and the judge, if I am the culprit, I will go to eighteen layers of hell, and I will not be able to live forever. If I had been an accomplice, I would have to go to hell, but there would still be hope of being reborn!
Besides, he is already dead, so what's the problem of telling the truth in the underworld? Can it still be transmitted to the yang world?
Thinking of this, he completely let go of his guard and confessed loudly: "The villain knows that he is guilty, and he doesn't dare to ask the king to spare his life, but please Wang Mingjian, the villain is just a five-grade petty official in the yang world, and everything is just acting according to orders!" There is an order from the peak, if the villain does not do it, he will immediately suffer a disaster! ”
"Bastard, you still dare to slander Emperor Yongle?" The king of Hades was furious and said, "Left and right, fork me into the oil pot!" ”
"The king is slow, the villain is not talking about the Yongle Emperor, but the Jinyi Wei Du Governor Ji Gang!" Li Chun hurriedly said loudly: "Ji Gang is arrogant, ruthless and cunning, and he is the most cruel to his enemies!" Over the years, the evil things that the villain has done are all from his orders, not my intention! ”
"What evil did he let you do?" Judge Cui asked in a deep voice.
"It's too much, what kind of cruelty to loyalty, murder and silence, torture to extract confessions, and blackmail people's property." Li Chun said: "If you talk about it in the same way, you can't finish it in a day and a night, let's just say that since the beginning of this year, he wants me to murder Xie Jin." At that time, the villain heard that Xie Jin was the reincarnation of Wenqu Star in the sky, and such a person could not be killed, not to mention that the emperor just asked, Jin is still there? There was no explicit intention to kill him. But Ji Gang didn't listen to persuasion, he had to kill him, Ji Gang said that this person was a scourge, specifically against himself, if the emperor released him on a whim one day, it would be troublesome, so we must seize the opportunity of the ambiguity of the holy will to kill him! Saying that, Li Chun snorted and cried: "The villain has also done his best to save the bachelor, but his arms can't reach his thighs, so he can only let Ji Gang kill the bachelor!" Ji Gang is like this, he regards the edict as his own private prison, which one he wants to die, which one can't live, the villain is just a jailer, he has carried too many black pots for him, begging the king to know it! ”
"What happened to Qi Dazhu's murder case?" Judge Cui hit the railroad while it was hot: "You quickly recruit from the truth, or you can be lightly dismissed, if there is half a lie, you will never be reborn!" ”
"Yes, yes, sinners must confess and be lenient." Li Chun has completely surrendered, and naturally the bamboo tube pours the beans and says:
"In fact, this case has nothing to do with the North Town Fu Division, but only involves a secret agent of the Division. That day, the spy named Zhang Gouzi hurriedly came to me to ask for help, but the villain didn't care. But he has a pair of family heirloom jasper watermelons, which are the treasures of the former Yuan royal family.
It's a pity that his mother hid it and refused to give it to him. He wanted to dedicate the pair of jasper watermelons to the villain as a qualification, so he wanted to take advantage of his mother's sleep to steal his mother's treasure, who knew that the old lady of Lu Dao slept very lightly, but still found him, and dragged him to let him put down the treasure. Zhang Gouzi was so easy to get his hands on himself that he refused, so he ran away, who knew that his mother was not a vegetarian, and he couldn't get off on him, and shouted to catch the thief, he was impulsive, so he pulled out a knife and gave his mother a few knives, so he was able to get out. ”
Hearing this, Lord Yan looked at the vain ghost Zhang Ma and said, "What he said is familiar?" ”
That Zhang Ma knelt down and cried: "He is right, it was my son who killed me, but I pity me for raising my son with hard work, and I died in the hands of my son in the end!" He cried even more heartbroken.
"Okay, don't be sad, your son's longevity will be over soon, when he is detained in the underworld, he will be severely punished for you!" With a wave of his sleeves, Zhang Ma disappeared into the darkness. Lord Yan said to Li Chun again: "You continue!" ”
After Zhang Gouzi got out, he said that he threw the knife at the lake, hid the pair of jasper watermelons, turned back to his home, and took his mother-in-law back to his mother-in-law's house. Although his mother-in-law didn't see him kill with her own eyes, she knew the cause and effect of the road, and she could always guess what was going on, he wanted to kill his wife too, but his wife was a stunner, he was a little reluctant, and his wife was also very clever, promising not to say anything, Zhang Gouzi dispelled the idea of extinguishing the mouth, let her hide in her mother's house for a while, and he went back to Beijing to find out the news. ”
Li Chun then confessed:
"Who knew that as soon as Zhang Gouzi returned to Beijing, he heard that the murderer had been caught in the county, and it was Qi Dazhu, who bought cold drinks. The unlucky ghost got up in the early morning and went to the lake to pick Hexian, but Hexian didn't pick it, but stepped on Zhang Ma's corpse, which frightened him so much that he threw down his basket and sickle, and ran home to hide. As soon as the morning dawned, the government followed the clues he left behind, and quickly found Qi Dazhu's house, and found bloody clothes and bloody shoes, which turned out to be complete evidence! Then Yang Zhixian regarded Qi Dazhu as a murderer, and Zhang Gouzi became a bitter master, and there was nothing wrong! ”
"Then what did he ask you to confess? Are you tired of living? Judge Cui asked in a deep voice.
"If this case is judged like this, he will naturally not make a noise, but this kind of death penalty case is to be reviewed by the Criminal Department, and as a result, the case fell into the hands of Yan Qing Langzhong of the Criminal Department, this person is a shrewd character, he saw many suspicious points from the file, and then secretly investigated, he ruled out Qi Dazhu's suspicion and locked the real murderer on Zhang Gouzi!"
"But at that time, Zhang Gouzi had already dedicated a jasper watermelon to the villain, and the villain promoted him to the official brocade guard, he took advantage of his position to find out that Yan Qing had found out that he was the real murderer, so he was frightened and hurried to ask me for help." Li Chundao: "In order to survive, he sacrificed another jasper watermelon, and the villain also felt that the Jinyi Wei who he had just promoted was sentenced to murder by the Criminal Department, and he really couldn't hang it on his face, so he was confused for a moment and decided to stand up for him!" ”
