Someone on both sides pushed Guo Zheng down, took off his pants, and saw that there was indeed a red birthmark. Guo Zheng lay on the ground, his eyes were spitting fire, and his face turned dark. He hated it, he hated these shameless bitches for putting his own
When he revealed his actions, he hated Liu Ziguang's design against him even more. If he could escape this disaster, he would definitely not let this insidious guy like Uncle Zhenwu go.
"Quiet!" Liu Ziguang shouted loudly, and there was silence all around. Everyone was waiting for the next move of Mr. Qingtian, who was like a god in solving cases.
"If this kind of evidence is not enough, let us ask Wangcai, a master from our Nanchang factory, to come forward. Wangcai is a very spiritual hound. Distinguishing smells is his specialty. This is a bed sheet like a flower at home. There must be something on it.
I still have the smell of the last prostitute, so I'll ask Wangcai to identify it." Liu Ziguang waved his hand, and the man from Nanchang came over to do the operation.
After Wangcai sniffed the bed sheets, he found Ruhua in the court and barked wildly. Fanzi patted Wangcai's chest as a reward, and then let him continue searching. After Wangcai sniffed around, he ran to Guo Zheng and barked.
Got up.
"Do you understand, my lords? If that's not enough, I have witnesses." Liu Ziguang waved his hand, and another witness was brought over. This man has a deer head and rat eyes, and he is not a good person at first glance.
"This man's name is You Shu, he specializes in pickpocketing in the south of the city. He was captured by the Bingma Division patrol that night. His testimony may be interesting, so you might as well listen to it. You Shu, tell me what you did that night.
?”
You Shuu was a habitual offender, and he knelt on the ground consciously and replied: "Sir, the other day I was doing business with prostitutes on the street, and I got a few pieces of silver and copper coins. There was only one who was wearing a hat.
The guest was relatively wealthy and had ten taels of silver in his arms. The younger one used a lead block to exchange for the silver. The younger one deserves to die. The younger one will never dare to do it again."
"Look, does this lead weight belong to you?" Liu Ziguang asked You Shuhu to take a look at the lead weight left at Ruhua's house.
"It's just the villain's crime tool." You Mouse said.
Liu Ziguang nodded with satisfaction, turned to Guo Zheng and asked: "I heard that Guo Yushi is known for his sharp tongue. What else can you tell now?"
Guo Zheng gritted his teeth and said nothing, only staring at Liu Ziguang with his eyes. Liu Ziguang was not afraid of him. He walked to the front of the hall and said: "If you don't answer, you will admit it. Now I will sort out the case for everyone. Our Guo Yushi
On the day of the incident, he did not receive any secret report. He just wanted to have a good time because his sperm was in his head. As for why Mr. Guo did not choose those beautiful girls on the Qinhuai River, but went to Ruhua, Xiaohong, and Cuilan.
Senior, we will discuss that issue later. Mr. Guo changed his clothes, took a candle from home, and in order to cover up others' eyes, he bought a bamboo hat from the Li family's stall, and then went to the old street in the south of the city at night.
Unexpectedly, he was visited by a habitual thief, You Shu, on the way. The ten taels of silver ingots were stolen and exchanged for lead blocks. Mr. Guo didn't know that there was no silver in his pocket, so he still went to Ruhua's house and had a good time. When he paid the bill, he was stupid.
He was stunned and couldn't get the money out, so Ruhua's brother Zhang Gou came out to question him. Guo Yushi was afraid that the incident would be revealed and would affect his reputation. He took the risk and killed Zhang Gou and then fled. He was caught on the spot by my loyal and dedicated Nancheng Soldiers and Horses Division patrol team.
.This is what happened."
There was silence all around, and then there was a burst of applause. Everyone was shocked by Uncle Zhenwu's impeccable reasoning.
"I have finished what I have said. Now let's ask the three adults to decide the case." Liu Ziguang handed the hot potato to the three judges, and then went back to his seat to drink tea.
Xu Jiujing was surprised. Uncle Zhenwu had very strong reasoning ability and sufficient evidence. If he had not deliberately framed the case, he must be an excellent criminal. No matter what, there is no room for counter-turning on this case. Now, let’s try again.
Reversing the verdict is simply asking for embarrassment.
Feng Qingshan was also surprised. He didn't expect that Nanchang had spent so much money to punish Guo Zheng. It seemed that he was determined to win, but he was still a little unconvinced if he just resigned himself to defeat.
Zhao Xuan didn't see it that way. Guo Zheng was a member of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. It was not the turn of outsiders to impose sanctions. He stood up angrily and asked: "The frame-up, this is a naked frame-up. May I ask Uncle Zhenwu, who
It can prove the identities of these witnesses. The patrol team of the Nancheng Army and Horses Division has never patrolled the old streets. Why did they go there on that day, and why did they meet those generals by such a coincidence? "
"Master Zhao, please pay attention to your words. If you are familiar with it, I can sue you for defamation. I don't have the ability to investigate cases and I still have the nerve to doubt others. There are many things that happen to happen. The patrol route of the Nancheng Soldiers and Horses Division needs to be changed.
Do you all report to the procuratorate? Do you, Mr. Zhao, need permission from you, Mr. Zhao, to go drinking wherever the military generals go?" Liu Ziguang retorted unsympathetically to Zhao Xuan.
"You two adults, please don't hurt your friendship. I think the prostitute's words are not trustworthy. The testimony of Brother Li and Boss Su can't explain anything. It's better to consider this case in the long term and try it slowly." Feng Qingshan hurriedly said.
Come out and make mud.
After saying this, Liu Ziguang became even more angry. All the witnesses I called were just blind people lighting their lamps - it was a waste of time. He then asked Feng Qingshan: "Mr. Feng, what kind of witness testimony is considered valid?"
Feng Qingshan pondered for a while and said: "Prostitutes themselves are of low status. People who sell their bodies for money will even lie because of the money. And the two witnesses called by your Excellency are both businessmen. Businessmen are profit-oriented. Aren't they?
It was bribed by others. If you can find a few famous scholars to testify, it would still have some credibility."
This was simply a mess. Liu Ziguang was furious and shouted loudly: "What's wrong with the prostitutes? What's wrong with the merchants? Do you know how much money is spent in the fireworks tax and commercial tax in Guangjing City every year? How much money are there in the salaries of you bureaucrats?"
Thirty taels of every ten taels of silver are the taxes paid by these laughing girls along the Qinhuai River! Prostitutes are also human beings, so are they all voluntary when they become prostitutes? Who is not forced to live by his family and is sold into a brothel? Prostitutes are also like you and me.
The same people of the Ming Dynasty make money by working, and every piece of money they earn is earned with blood and tears. How can they be humble? Not to mention the businessmen, the young brother from the Li family just now has an innocent spirit.
We have all seen it. They are not even willing to take advantage of three cents, so how can we bribe them? According to my opinion, both prostitutes and businessmen are more decent than some sanctimonious scholars. At least they will not be shameless.
Lying in public!"
Shocked! Everyone was shocked. People were shocked by Zhenwu Bo's shocking speech. After a while, long-lasting applause came from outside. Most of the people watching outside were prostitutes and vendors. Liu Ziguang could not speak.
Those who bring it are all vernacular that the people in the market can understand. No high-ranking official of the imperial court has ever spoken or supported them, prostitutes and traffickers. Liu Ziguang's impassioned speech made them burst into tears. Many girls burst into tears.
I couldn't help but cry, and the handkerchief in my hand was soaked through.
Zhao Xuan really couldn't bear it anymore. The Admiral of Nanchang was too domineering. He stalked the Metropolitan Procuratorate and made such rebellious remarks. Could it be that he wanted to go against the world's scholars? Although Guo Zheng's case cannot be reversed,
But this case is not serious. Prostitution and wounding are not capital crimes, not to mention that it was set up by someone.
Zhao Xuan decided to fight Uncle Zhenwu for the sake of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. He stood up and sneered: "What a righteous Uncle Zhenwu, he designed such a good show just to frame our Metropolitan Procuratorate."
Official, huh, isn't it because Guo Yushi read your book the day before yesterday? When it comes to prostitution, my uncle is also the number one. He actually took a bitch to wander in the street, used official tools for personal use, and used the imperial guards to protect him.
And for killing an innocent old woman for that bitch, don’t you know that you are my official? Uncle Zhenwu, listen to me!”
Liu Ziguang secretly thought that there is no way to hell. You walked in and dared to say that the eldest princess is a bitch. Isn't this because you don't want to live a long life? He didn't say anything at the moment, just jumped over and gave her a big slap in the mouth!
A cloud of blood mist flew up, and several of Zhao Xuan's teeth were knocked out. His whole body was thrown up, hit the wall, and then fell down. He was already unconscious. There were officials from the Duchayuan who hurried up.
The former guard was forced to retreat by Nanchang Fanzi with a knife pointed at his nose, and then he brought Zhao Xuan over again, splashed him with cold water to wake him up, and then beat him.
Xu Jiujing and Feng Qingshan hurried over to persuade him, and then Liu Ziguang asked his men to stop beating him, and solemnly said: "Zhao Xuan, the left deputy censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, insulted the emperor's relatives and slandered the court ministers in front of the court. The minister of the inner bodyguard will punish him according to the law."
Take it off and slap it in the mouth."
Zhao Xuan had been beaten all over his face and his mind was buzzing, but he could still hear the words insulting the emperor clearly. He was a little confused and opened his toothless mouth and shouted weakly: "Master Xu,
Lord Feng, please save me..."
Xu Jiujing and Feng Qingshan were also confused. How could this become an insult to the emperor? Seeing that they were confused, Liu Ziguang thought that he would let you guys understand, so he lowered his voice and said: "The former Japanese minister was ordered by the concubine Yi.
The princess of the guard traveled incognito, but this guy said that... Humph, you don't need to persuade her, it's useless. This is an imperial case, and I arrested her because of my status as the minister in charge of the guard. Let's take Zhao Xuan's
The veil is removed, the robe is stripped off, and sent to the prison to wait for processing."
Xu Jiujing understood a little. There are so many things here. The handling of Guo Zheng's case seemed to be tacitly approved by the emperor. But then again, in the end, this was not a big case. At most, it could remove Guo Zheng from his official title.
That's all, it's better to settle the case quickly and find a way to rescue Zhao Xuan.
"Zhenwu Bo is really the reincarnation of Di Gong. He handles cases superbly and the old man admires him. The evidence of Guo Zheng's case of prostitution and wounding is conclusive. According to the law, he should be exempted from his honor, official position, fine of silver, and rod. What does Zhenwu Bo think?" Xu Jiujing's
The handling suggestions are quite fair.
"Yes, Mr. Xu's sentence is really fair, but I still want to sue Guo Zheng for murder!"
There was another uproar, and the audience's interest was piqued again. The show is far from over, and there is still such strong news waiting for everyone.
Xu Jiujing looked troubled: "Uncle, the emperor's order is just to let the official and others try the case of Guo Zheng's injury. As for the murder of a man, it should be dealt with in a separate case. The official does not dare to take over the case. I hope the uncle will understand."
"It's okay. As the admiral of Nanchang, I also have trial responsibilities. Mr. Xu, I will lend you the use of the court today. I will personally come to interrogate Guo Zheng's murder case."
Xu Jiujing was speechless, so he had to step aside and let Uncle Zhenwu do whatever he wanted. A group of Nanchang fans came in aggressively and replaced the Dali Temple yamen who were standing on duty. They shouted together: "Sheng~~~ Hall". Then Liu Ziguang held the jade belt in his hand.
He climbed up to the throne majestically and said with alarm: "Bring the accuser to the suffering master."
The person who brought him to the court was the father of Guo Zheng's former concubine, an old man from a small family. He knelt down far away from Guo Zheng timidly and did not dare to look up.
"Who is kneeling in the hall? What grievance is there?" Liu Ziguang asked, showing the official genealogy.
"Xiaomin is from Lishui County, his name is Qin Wanshun. His daughter Qin Li married the Guo Yushi family in the capital a year ago, but she died only six months after marrying..." Speaking of this, Qin Wanshun couldn't help sobbing.
He stood up, as if missing his daughter, "Xiaomin lived until he was forty years old before raising such a daughter. I wanted her to marry into a rich family and enjoy happiness, so that she could take care of her parents' family, but I didn't expect that it would harm my daughter..."
Liu Ziguang waited patiently for Old Qin to finish crying, and then asked gently: "Old Qin, is your daughter sick? Why did she die suddenly six months after her marriage?"
"My little girl is very healthy and has never been sick. It was the mother and son of Guo Zheng who killed me that killed my daughter. Mr. Qingtian wants to avenge the people." Old Qin cried bitterly.
"Do you have any evidence?"
"Yes, the little girl once told her mother when she returned to her parents' home that the Guo family are not good people. The concubine hanged herself before, and the aunt married a third wife. Putting aside these strange things, my husband is also cold all day long.
He didn't talk to her, and he hadn't had sex with her since he walked in. I asked my aunt privately, and it turned out to be the same. My husband stayed in the government office all day and never went home. When he came home, he slept in the old lady's room. He often made weird noises in the middle of the night.
My daughter is a straight-tempered woman who can't hold anything back. After telling her mother, within three days of returning home, her husband's family sent a letter saying that she was gone and had been buried. It's pitiful for us, an old couple, that we couldn't even see our child for the last time.
I didn’t see it.”
"Has such a suspicious sudden death ever been reported to the official?"
"My husband's family is a royal censor. Which government office dares to accept this complaint? Lishui County won't accept it, Yingtian Mansion won't accept it, and the Ministry of Punishment will not let anyone in. They say that when people complain to officials, they must first be punished. Old man, I originally planned to give up.
She came out to save her life, but the old lady refused to give up. She said that even if she died here, her daughter's grievances might not be redressed. We could only wait, wait until Master Qingtian showed up, but we still didn't believe it. The world was bright and clear.
Sun and Moon, is there really no good official like Bao Qingtian in the Ming Dynasty who can make decisions for the people? Now the wait is finally here."
Qin Wanshun's tragic experience triggered sympathetic tears and sighs from the audience. It is really difficult for people to sue officials these days. Everyone focused their attention on the superior Zhenwu Bo...
The violent death of Guo Zheng's concubine is one of the targets of the investigation in Nanchang, which happened to be the case for Qin Wanshun. In fact, the investigation of the case started a few days ago, and now it is just a pretense and a formality.
"For such a suspicious human life case, the various yamen actually refused to accept it. Is it really that the officials are protecting each other? I don't believe this evil. The Nanchang took over the case, and it was rumored that the Nanchang widow was Song Qing." Liu Ziguang casually took out one.
The lot was thrown out, and the style of Mr. Qingtian sitting in court to interrogate the case in the play was fully imitated.
Nanchang has its own specialized autopsy, which was dug from the Nanfang Yamen. The little old man is called Song Qing. It is said that he is a descendant of Song Ci, the executioner of the Song Dynasty. He is the best at autopsy and is quite famous. When he heard that Song Qing came out, the people
They immediately started whispering.
"Song Wuzuo, can you examine the corpse of someone who was murdered?" Liu Ziguang asked.
"Sir, everyone who is murdered must leave traces. The "Resolution of Wrongs" written by our ancestors has a detailed description of the condition of the corpses that died of murder. Coupled with many years of experience in humble positions, I believe it should be possible to detect it.
"
"Very good. Someone, come and bring up the body of Guo Zheng's concubine Qin Li."
There was an uproar again. Today's drama was so worth watching. I could actually witness the exciting part of the autopsy in the hall. Guo Zheng still knelt on the spot without saying a word. He just looked at Uncle Zhenwu's performance coldly, no matter what.
How to try the case? Anyway, I don’t know how to make a bond. Anyway, no one can kill him in front of the court. As long as there is a chance to repeat it, my colleagues in the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the sect Qiange Department will not let it go.
No matter.
The exhumation of Qin Li's body was approved by Old Man Qin. Although they believed in burial, their daughter died unjustly. In order to avenge her injustice, they had to open the coffin and conduct an autopsy. The old couple reluctantly agreed despite the pain.
Needless to say, the corpse had been examined long ago, and now it was still a repeated performance. Song Wuzuo pretended to take out silver needles, knives, tweezers, gauze and other items to examine them carefully.
There was silence inside and outside the courtroom. Several pairs of eyes were watching Song Qing's hands. He was standing next to the coffin and working on it, with an assistant wiping his sweat next to him.
Time passed by, and suddenly Song Qing shouted: "Found it." He raised a hand high, holding a long iron nail in his gloved hand, "This is the murder weapon."
"There is a long nail driven into Guo Qin's right temple. The head of the nail is hidden in her hair. It is difficult to find it from the outside. There are no external injuries anywhere else on the body, and there are no signs of poisoning. I believe it was this nail that killed her.
Life." Song Wuzuo said loudly.
"My miserable daughter..." Qin Wanshun rushed over, held the edge of the coffin and cried bitterly. The people watching also suddenly realized.
"What a cruel mother and son, they kill people every now and then. Needless to say, the concubine who hanged herself before was also killed by their mother and her son."
"Don't talk about concubines, the main wife has already divorced two. Why is this Guo family's daughter-in-law so miserable?"
"Guo Zheng, what else do you have to say?" Liu Ziguang asked majestically.
Guo Zheng snorted and refused to answer. His opponent had already calculated to this point, and now he could only deal with the changes by remaining unchanged.
"Don't think that you can escape punishment if you don't speak. I don't engage in the unskilled practice of serving sentences with severe punishments. Our Nanjing Office's policy of handling cases is to emphasize evidence and ignore confessions. If you don't say a word, this
The crime of murder has also been confirmed. Come on, please take the murderer Guo Zheng into custody!" Liu Ziguang threw out another stick and said: "Bring the accomplice Guo Zheng's mother to my custody as well."
The trial of the case came to an end. Liu Ziguang nodded to his entourage, who immediately shouted loudly: "Retreat to the hall."
"Master Qingtian, Xiaomin and his family thank you for your great kindness." Qin Wanshun was sad and happy at the same time. Sad because his daughter died in such a tragic way, but happy that the injustice was finally over. He knelt on the ground and kept praying.
He kowtowed to thank Liu Ziguang. The people outside were infected and knelt down, shouting for the Lord.
