Chapter 283 Interrogate her for slandering others?
Chapter 283: Put her on trial and slander people?
Early the next morning, Lin Yuan and Mu Qingyu came to the Criminal Department Prison to interrogate Li Zhaodi.
When the two of them entered the door, they saw Xiao Jingze already sitting in the hall.
Dressed in black, he is almost hidden in the darkness, making it impossible for anyone to spot him unless he looks closely.
Both of them were stunned, but they thought about that day in the imperial study room.
Xiao Jingze has already told the emperor that he will come to observe.
It was hard to say anything, so he bowed and had Li Zhaodi brought from the prison.
Not long after, Li Zhaodi came.
Maybe she didn't sleep well last night, and her whole body was as wilted as a cabbage beaten by frost.
Lin Yuan, the presiding judge, looked at her and shouted sternly.
"Is this the guilty woman Li Zhaodi? Someone has pointed out that you are related to the Decheng Huazi shooting case seventeen years ago.
You ordered Paihuazi to kidnap the Marquis's wife, hoping to exchange for the child in the Marquis's belly.
As a result, an innocent life was lost."
Speaking of this, Lin Yuan thought of Xiao Yaoyao who died tragically.
I couldn't help but clenched my teeth.
"There is also the case of Decheng filming Hanako to abduct children, collect and mutilate them some time ago, which is also related to you.
The witness is here, can you plead guilty?
I don't think you, a village woman, have such great abilities.
Is there anyone else behind you?"
Li Zhaodi was so frightened by Lin Yuan that she was trembling all over, but she still had the courage to raise her head.
"I, I plead guilty.
The person who instigated me is your daughter Lin Zhaozhao.
Yes, it was all her who instigated me!"
Lin Yuan was stunned for a moment, then became furious.
"That's nonsense. My family Zhao Zhao was born seventeen years ago. How could I instruct you to abduct her mother?
Regarding the Decheng case some time ago, how could she instruct you when she was staying in the Hou Mansion?
Could it be that you knew death was imminent and that's why you kept trying.
Someone, give me..."
"Master Hou!"
Xiao Jingze slowly turned the jade ring on his finger and interrupted Lin Yuan's words.
"Since a few testimonies from others can prove her guilt.
Why did her testimony become random talk?"
Lin Yuan gritted his teeth, feeling a little dissatisfied.
"The testimony of the three of them is at least credible.
But Li Zhaodi’s words are full of loopholes, what else is it if it’s not nonsense?”
When Li Zhaodi heard this, she couldn't help but smile bitterly.
"They say I abducted the Marquis's wife. I didn't even know what the Marquis's wife looked like at that time. Why did I abduct her?
I was pregnant myself at that time, so what should I do with her child?
If Lin Zhaozhao hadn't returned to the Hou Mansion, I wouldn't have known that the daughter I had raised for sixteen years belonged to another family.
Even though I am a bit stupid, I still know.
If you do bad things, don't let others see your face.
How could I abduct Madam Hou and let her see my appearance clearly?
Are you afraid that if you don’t, your brain will be kicked by a donkey?”
The words are crude but not crude. If you look closely at the testimony of those three people, you will naturally find loopholes.
But the problem now is that Li Zhaodi was the instigator of what happened back then when three people were killed.
They could find no other witnesses, and Li Zhaodi could not find any other evidence to prove his innocence.
Because it was related to Xiao Yaoyao, Lin Yuan admitted that he had lost his mind a little.
But he still refused to let Li Zhaodi go like this.
"Ignoring what happened seventeen years ago, do you know about the Huazi case that happened in Decheng not long ago?
They all pointed out that you were involved."
Although Li Zhaodi was scared, she still tried to defend herself.
"I was still in Wucheng at that time, how could I have the ability to command them to do bad things in Decheng?
Besides, I'm a village woman, so it's okay if you let me farm the fields and feed the pigs.
I can't do these things that cost my conscience and my brain.
What are you looking for? Money? I will never be able to spend all the money my Jinxiu earns in my lifetime.
Why do you have to do these things? Master Hou, is your brain kicked by a donkey?
You can’t understand such a simple thing?”
Lin Yuan slammed the table, interrupting Li Zhaodi's words.
"If you are innocent, why do they only identify you?"
Li Zhaodi was frightened and mustered up the courage to reply.
"Then if Lin Zhaozhao is innocent, why did I identify her and not others?"
"you……"
Lin Yuan didn't expect that Li Zhaodi could be so difficult to deal with.
I was about to say something else when I saw Zhang Jun, the Minister of Punishment, rushing over.
He bowed to Xiao Jingze and said carefully.
"Report to the Marquis, someone in the prison took money and secretly put Miss Lin into the prison last night.
The jailer has confessed, saying that Miss Lin met Li Zhaodi last night."
Lin Yuan was startled, not knowing what to say.
Seeing this, Mu Qingyu put down the file in his hand.
He looked at Lin Yuan gently and suggested.
"Master Hou, since Miss Lin went to Tianlao last night.
Li Zhaodi once again insisted that she was the one who ordered it.
If not, please invite Miss Lin here and ask her carefully?
If it has nothing to do with it, I might as well clear Miss Lin's name."
Lin Yuan came to his senses and could only nod.
"Go and bring Lin Zhaozhao over.
I want to ask carefully whether she is involved in this matter."
Soon, Lin Zhaozhao was brought.
Zhou Yixiu was worried and followed him.
As soon as the two entered the lobby, they were ordered to kneel down by Lin Yuan.
"Lin Zhaozhao, let me ask you.
Did you go to the prison last night? Why?
Li Zhaodi pointed out that you were also involved, please give me a good explanation."
Lin Zhaozhao turned to look at Li Zhaodi. Seeing that Li Zhaodi's expression was as usual, she immediately understood.
She was deceived by Li Zhaodi. She thought that Li Zhaodi would listen to her and identify Su Jinxiu.
But she didn't expect that Li Zhaodi would actually put the shit basin on her head.
In front of so many people, Lin Zhaozhao couldn't do anything to Li Zhaodi.
I could only feel aggrieved, cover my face and cry loudly.
"Father, Zhao Zhao came last night.
Zhao Zhao heard that she had committed a capital crime and would die soon.
I can't bear to think about the love between mother and daughter in the past sixteen years.
He came to see her off for the last time, but she insisted on letting Zhao Zhao rescue her.
Zhao Zhao didn't want to, so she threatened him.
Zhao Zhao was afraid and left first because he was afraid that his father would not be happy.
That's why I didn't tell you about this, but I didn't want her to get angry and slander Zhaozhao randomly.
Father, Zhao Zhao is really unjust!"
Seeing Lin Zhaozhao crying so sadly, Zhou Yixiu hugged her quickly.
Looking at Lin Yuan, his eyes turned red.
"Master Hou, I don't ask you to believe me.
But Zhaozhao is your biological daughter, and you have been careful these days when you returned to the Marquis Mansion.
She never dared to do anything out of line. Last night she said she would come to see Li Zhaodi.
I knew it, and I didn't stop her because of her kindness.
What a shame that Li Zhaodi actually took advantage of my family's kindness to do this.
Lord Marquis, she really deserves to die."
Xiao Jingze curled his lips coldly as he listened to the words of the two mothers and daughters.
"I see that you are better at judging cases than the Marquis and Master Mu.
Even before the charges were decided, one knew that she would not survive, so he came to give her a ride.
She will be executed if she opens her mouth. Tsk, why don't I tell the emperor.
Can you two take the position of Minister of Justice?"
Lin Zhaozhao and Zhou Yixiu did not dare to confront Xiao Jingze head-on, so they could only look at Lin Yuan pitifully and beg for mercy.
"Father, I am truly innocent."
"Master Hou, Zhao Zhao is a kind and good child. You can't let anyone taint her innocence."
