Chapter 463: Human Witness
"Idiot, idiot!"
Yu Qian said four or five fools in a row, and said with a smile: "'The sun is lonely, the road is uneven', what do you explain?" What kind of merit is praised by 'Heisei, deaf'? ”
Most of the cultural level of relatives and friends is far less than that of Hu Desheng, who has been reading for a few days, not to mention compared with Yu Qian, who was born in Jinshi, and he is silently confused.
When Hu Desheng heard this, he was immediately speechless, and he couldn't figure it out for a long time, so he had to beg: "Brother-in-law, explain it clearly." ”
"Alas!" Yu Qian shook his head with a smile and explained: "Ri Guming is ridiculing your eyes; The road is uneven is to laugh at your feet, and the broken turtle pulls out the clouds as it means. ”
For a while, Hu Desheng's face was red with shame, and he said angrily: "Yes, I was tricked by the little girl." Annoyed, he angrily tore the fan and the ayako to pieces, gritting his teeth, "If you don't take revenge, it's not a gentleman, this matter is not over." ”
Relatives secretly laughed at him in their hearts, and someone said: "I don't believe that a woman in the boudoir can be so abrupt, probably someone else." ”
Hu Desheng said angrily: "Then I don't care, if it weren't for my brother-in-law's reminder, I would hang the silk painting in the middle hall, and hold the fan all day long, wouldn't it be a big ugly and become a laughing stock in the capital?" ”
Yu Qian said: "Forget it about a female streamer, it's self-defeating to worry about her." ”
Hu Desheng said indignantly: "Even if it is a woman's intentions, it is really hateful, relying on some false names to dare to be so presumptuous, how can I, as a man, be ridiculed by her?" I must let her know my methods before I vent the hatred in my heart. ”
Yu Qian hurriedly said: "Don't make a mistake, you can find a celebrity to use poetry and articles to fall on her face, but you can't bully people for no reason." ”
Hu Desheng is submissive on the surface, but he is furious in his heart, and his disability undoubtedly violates the dignity of being a man, which is even more unbearable than being beaten and scolded in person.
The next day, Shuntianfu ascended to the court, and the knives and silver as evidence were placed on the case, because it was a homicide case. The Criminal Department ordered Wang Ji to come over and listen.
Wang Ji felt a little incredible, as far as he knew, Hu Desheng was not an expert in solving the case, and all parties had no clue about the case, and the deceased had already determined that he was not from the capital, which greatly increased the difficulty of handling the case.
There is no conclusion at all, why can Hu Desheng arrest the murderer as soon as he comes out? It's even easier to spend money on something than just one day, and it's too bizarre.
Therefore, before ascending to the hall, he already had a question in his heart, and when he heard the confessions of Monk Zhiyun and Xu Luo. I felt even more bizarre.
However, he thinks that even if Hu Desheng is a little bold, it is by no means ridiculous, and the prisoner is not without suspicion, especially Xu Luo is a left-handed person as a butcher.
After Yu Qian finished asking, Wang Ji asked Zhiyun: "You said that you have never sought wealth and have never seen the deceased, so where did this silver come from?" ”
Zhiyun smiled bitterly: "That's the silver in the temple, and in addition, Hu Desheng robbed it, which is several times more than this." ”
Wang Ji shook his head. didn't say anything, but asked Xu Ming: "You said that you didn't kill you, where did the knife come from?" ”
Xu Meng shouted: "I am a butcher, and the knife is used to kill pigs every day." Who saw me kill at that time? Is a murderer with a knife? ”
Wang Ji frowned again and again, and said, "Didn't you two say a word?" ”
Xu Miao shouted in a strange voice: "If I say a nonsense, I will be a dog." ”
The officials standing in the hall on both sides couldn't help laughing, and Yu Qian slapped the startled wood. said angrily: "This is a public court, don't talk nonsense." ”
Thinking that Zhiyun is the presiding officer of the Great Mercy and Grace Temple, when has he been treated as a prisoner. Zhengse said: "Bring Hu Desheng here, and the two of us will confront him in court, it is not difficult to find out whether it is true or not." ”
Yu Qian glanced at Wang Ji, who was expressionless, and said, "Take them down and summon witnesses." ”
After a while, two men, an old man and a young man, came in, who were father and son who opened a tofu shop nearby, but they were actually coerced and lured by Hu Desheng.
Last night, the two were summoned to Shuncheonfu and detained in accordance with the rules, in order to prevent collusion. Son Wang Niu was born a stupid child, and his father Wang Lao'er taught him a confession, for example, when the official asked you to see the murder with your own eyes, you don't have to say anything, just promise one word.
If you ask again, have you ever seen who the murderer was? At that time, you said that it was the monk Zhiyun of the Great Ci'en Temple, who called a Xu butcher who sold meat to kill people. These two sentences are very important, and the rest of the words that should be prepared, Wang Lao'er also taught him one by one.
Why can't Wang Niu'er learn stupidly, Wang Lao'er is anxious and angry, Niu'er said with a sad face: "Dad, why do you have to teach me to talk nonsense?" ”
At that time, Wang Lao'er sighed and said, "Silly boy, Dad can't do anything, who wants to do such a bad thing?" If we don't do this, we will offend that Master Hu, and our father and son are only afraid that their lives will not be saved. ”
Wang Lao'er has been honest and cowardly all his life, and he has never done anything wrong, and he can't help but cry. It's a pity that he is ignorant and ignorant, he knows that he is afraid of Hu Desheng, and he doesn't know that Shuntianfu will have a criminal department to supervise and interrogate when handling cases, thinking that just like the county government, a county master can cover the sky with one hand.
If it is stated directly now, Hu Desheng's crime can be regarded as a big deal, it doesn't matter if the wrong person is arrested, the problem is that he provided false evidence, and it is difficult to protect his life, where can he take revenge on their father and son?
Often honest people are nervous, their heads are like paste, they go to the lobby and their IQ is short-circuited, and they grit their teeth and go down the wrong road. Dafan has many unjust and false lawsuits that have been confirmed in this way, and the more honest people are used, the more terrible it is. I have lost my heart and felt guilty all my life, and I helped an evil person, and it did not benefit at all.
As soon as the father and son came up, they knelt on the ground, bluffing their faces and trembling bodies.
Wang Ji didn't care either, the people were not afraid when they went to court, they didn't suspect anything.
Hu Desheng was secretly proud, the two adults saw that the father and son were honest and honest people, old men who kept to themselves, and simple children, definitely not treacherous villains, and they didn't need to open their mouths to take the lead, which was the secret of the six doors.
Yu Qian secretly said that the witnesses cited by his brother-in-law really had no shortcomings, and he couldn't help but feel two more points of confidence. At the moment, I asked Wang Lao'er's name, age, occupation, etc., and the stammering ones were all clear.
asked Wang Niu'er again, poor a child who has never seen the world, where has he seen such a formation? I was already dizzy, I forgot everything, and I couldn't speak.
Yu Qian said with a pleasant face: "Don't be afraid, just say anything directly, this official will never embarrass you." ”
Wang Niu'er was still staring straight and stammering, unable to say a word, Yu Qian was very happy when he saw him like this, thinking that such a strong child would not tell lies.
So Yu Qian patiently asked: "You passed by the flower archway on Lion Street that day, but did you see the murder with your own eyes?" ”
This question is finally a coincidence, exactly the same as what Wang Lao Er'er taught, Niu Er was so blessed that his heart barely popped out of a word, but his father spent countless efforts, and there was no vain.
Hu Desheng breathed a sigh of relief, his whole body was soaked, and he was almost scared to death just now. Whether the secret path succeeds or fails depends on your luck, and you can leave it to fate.
Seeing Wang Niu's stupid appearance, he couldn't wait to say it for him, and when the word 'yes' came out of Niu'er's mouth, it seemed to be heavy and brisk, no less than picking up ten thousand taels of gold.
Seeing this, Wang Ji asked, "Do you know monks and butchers?" ”
Wang Lao'er didn't teach this sentence, Niu Er rolled his eyes and couldn't answer, Wang Lao'er had no choice but to bite the bullet and said: "Xiao'er has known them for a long time." ”
Wang Ji said: "This official thinks that since you are willing to stand up as witnesses, of course you know each other. However, in order to see is believing, he brought ten people, five of whom were monks, and five of whom were not monks, and asked Niu'er to personally identify who was the murderer. In this way, there is no room for quibbling whether it is true or false. ”
Before he finished speaking, Wang Lao'er opened his mouth in shock, Niu Er was confused and at a loss, Hu Desheng sighed in his heart, even if they all lived near here, but Niu Er could recognize who a stupid boy could recognize, and he couldn't help but secretly complain.
Now it seems that he is about to try to see the dagger, just say that although Wang Lao'er has no knowledge, he also knows the stakes at this moment, and knows that if he can't recognize it, or if he recognizes the wrong person, not only can he not live with Master Hu, but his father and son may not be guilty of any crime, this is not a joke.
Thinking of this, Wang Lao'er said boldly: "Niu'er knows it, I'm afraid that he is too timid to speak in the hall, so what can I do?" ”
Wang Ji said: "It doesn't matter, just be able to come out with your own fingers." ”
Wang Lao'er thought about prevaricating again, but unfortunately he had nothing to say, so he was so anxious that he broke out in a cold sweat, kneeling there with his head down, as if he had announced the death penalty.
Hu Desheng was at this critical juncture, he couldn't watch the lawsuit about to be lost, and it was too late to regret it, so he immediately took the risk and said: "My lord forgives my sins, and I have a humble position." ”
Wang Ji said: "If you have anything to say, you might as well sue the future." ”
Hu Desheng arched his hand and said: "My lord's method is really fair. But there is one thing, the cow has lost its normalcy because of its majesty, and this cannot be hidden from the two adults. His father, fearing that he would not be able to speak, and that he would not be able to identify anyone he feared, took the liberty of asking for mercy. ”
Wang Ji nodded and said, "This is not unreasonable. ”
Hu Desheng said: "Niu Er's behavior is at a loss, it is nothing more than the word fear. But if his father leads it with his hands, he can naturally strengthen his courage, and his mind will not be panicked, and he may be able to speak. This is a hypothetical speculation of humility, and whether it is appropriate or not is to be judged by the two adults. ”
Wang Ji groaned for a moment and said, "It's feasible, but when they are identified, their father and son can't talk to each other, so as not to cause trouble." ”
Hu Desheng thought he had a plan, he thought that Wang Lao'er had been selling tofu for so many years, and it was impossible not to know Zhiyun and Xu Ming. And the father and son must have some tacit understanding, secretly handing over a look to make a code or something.
How do you know that Wang Lao'er's mood at the moment is like tormenting on the oil pot, dare to love He may have seen Zhiyun or Xu Ming, but he may have only seen it, who will buy a piece of tofu and declare his name? (To be continued......)
