Xu Zizhen's kick was filled with anger and was full of force. Wang Manlu, a businessman, was out of breath even when he took a few steps. How could he withstand this? He was immediately thrown several meters away. He fainted, but his face was covered in blood.
Got to tremble.
Xu Zizhen's face was filled with chills, and he gritted his teeth and said, "He died of heartache? Then do you know the four words cyanosis of the lips? I tell you, this means that if there is a heart problem, the lips are usually purple, you...
Mom, please open your eyes and see, what color are your nephew's lips?"
His kick shocked everyone in the court. Magistrate Wen was stunned and couldn't help but smile to himself. This kid was too audacious and dared to roar in the court. However, he was also quite curious about Xu Zizhen's judgment at the moment, so he had to hold back.
Vibrant voice.
While everyone was shocked by Xu Zizhen, they all turned their attention to the child's mouth. Sure enough, they saw only a pale color. Thinking that it must have been pink in life, it was definitely not purple. A trace of fear clearly flashed in Wang Manlu's eyes.
, but his wife yelled again: "You are talking nonsense! Which medical book says this? You are not a fraud, but you are wronging us here, I...I don't live anymore!" He pulled up his hair and started to act.
Xu Zizhen was furious: "Howl your fucking voice again? Don't force me to hit women!"
Wang Manlu's wife was used to acting bad. First of all, people didn't want to argue with her. Secondly, her identity as the proprietress of the second employer also made many people silent. They had never seen someone worse than her like Xu Zizhen, and they were immediately frightened.
I was so shocked that I really didn't dare to say anything again.
Two beautiful figures were hiding behind the courtroom, looking out through the gap in the side door. It was Wen Xian, the daughter of the prefect Wen, and her maid. As long as Wen Xian could remember, she liked to hide behind the court and peek at her father's interrogation.
Now I went to the capital to study, and I rarely came back. I heard someone crying about injustice in the hall, and my curiosity aroused me and I took the maid to take a peek again.
In her impression, Xu Zizhen was a heinous scoundrel. He was frivolous, scoundrel, shameless and all other derogatory words could be associated with him. Seeing that Wen Chengyan actually asked him to decide the case, she couldn't help but complain in a low voice: "Father doesn't know either."
What are you thinking about, letting this scoundrel come to court for trial?"
The maid seemed a little excited and whispered: "Miss, I think this slut has some spirit, and what he said seems to make sense."
Wen Xian rolled her eyes: "I think you are in love!"
While the two were talking, they came to the scene where Xu Zizhen angrily scolded the shrew. Wen Xian couldn't help but frown and said: "This scumbag is so vulgar, he really disgraces the face of a man from the Song Dynasty."
The maid covered her mouth and snickered. Wen Xian glared at her angrily: "Why are you laughing?"
"Miss, I actually think that although his words are vulgar, he is a good-natured person. He dares to speak out and act without restraint, but he is much better than those hypocrites."
Wen Xian pointed her finger at her forehead and said angrily: "I think you are really tempted by this girl. If not, how could you help this person with everything?"
The two of them were muttering at the back of the hall, but Xu Zizhen came to the child. The anger on his face gradually subsided and turned into a look of kindness. He looked at the child's face and said softly: "Brother, don't be afraid.
With big brother here, no one can bully you."
Although these words were light, the courtroom was quiet and everyone heard it clearly. Especially the look on his face made many people a little confused. Wen Xian was also startled. In her impression,
It seems that this bastard has never spoken so nicely before, so why is he talking like this to a child he has never met before...and a child who has already lost his breath?
Xu Zizhen thought of his younger brother in his heart, so his affection naturally showed when he spoke, but soon his eyes regained clarity. He took a deep breath to calm down, gently opened the child's eyelids, looked at it, and then gently
He pressed lightly on his chest and abdomen.
"Huh..." He stood up and said to Magistrate Wen, "Sir, I would like to borrow the kitchen."
Although Magistrate Wen was puzzled, he still agreed and asked Jin Yuxi to follow him to help. However, Xu Zizhen came back after a while. What surprised Magistrate Wen was that he actually moved the stove out, with the red fire still burning in the furnace.
of flame.
"Zizhen, what are you..." Magistrate Wen was so surprised that he finally couldn't help but ask.
Xu Zizhen and Jin Yuxi worked together to place the stove in the center of the court hall, put the iron pot on the stove and put it in the steamer. They moved the chief clerk's table to the side and borrowed it temporarily. Not long after, Jin Yuxi took out a basket from the back, containing something unknown.
thing.
"Sir, Uncle Gui." Xu Zizhen bowed his hands to Magistrate Wen and Uncle Gui, "I have a fate with this child, so I will definitely clear up his grievances and give him justice in front of everyone."
Under everyone's surprised gazes, Xu Zizhen rolled up his sleeves and took out everything in the basket. Everyone was stunned - peppers, plums, green onions, are they going to be cooked in the hall?
Xu Zizhen chopped a few things into fine pieces, took out a salt shaker from the basket, sprinkled some salt in it, mixed it well, then flattened it gently with a knife into a cake shape, and then carefully placed them one by one in the basket.
middle.
It didn't take long for the water to boil, and the heat in the cage steamed out. Magistrate Wen just watched him do all this quietly, seeming to have complete trust in what he was doing, but everyone in the hall started talking privately, including the back of the hall.
Master and servant Wen Xian was hiding. No one knew what he was doing, but it seemed that it had nothing to do with the autopsy trial.
After Xu Zizhen finished doing this, he came to the door and removed the child's clothes one by one. Then he covered the white cloth again, leaving only the pale little face exposed. Then he stood by the stove with his hands behind his hands, quietly
Standing on the ground.
There was silence in the hall. No one had ever seen a case being tried like this. Passers-by who came after hearing the news gradually crowded the outside of the hall. Everyone wanted to see what kind of medicine Xu Zizhen was selling in this gourd.
Time passed slowly, until half an hour later, Xu Zizhen suddenly opened his eyes, sealed the oven door, opened the lid of the cage, and then carefully took out the steaming cakes one by one and gently placed them on the
After all the cakes were spread on the child, Xu Zizhen stood aside with his hands folded.
Wen Xian couldn't hold back her anger. Looking at Xu Zizhen's showy appearance, she felt that this man was extremely annoying. She gritted her teeth and said, "What on earth is he doing? He's just pretending to be a ghost."
The maid's bright eyes widened and she looked at Xu Zizhen curiously.
After a while, Xu Zizhen slowly opened his eyes, took away the cakes one by one, took a deep breath, and gently opened the white cloth.
"Wow!"
There was an uproar in the hall, because the child's body was no longer pure white, but had many black scars scattered all over it.
Wang Manfu and his wife wailed at the same time and threw themselves on the child, caressing the body and crying. The scene in front of them was so heartbreaking that they were completely confused.
Xu Zizhen raised his eyelids and looked at Wang Manlu and his wife, and said solemnly: "What else do you want to say?"
From the moment the scars appeared on the child's body, Wang Manlu's face became ashen. Xu Zizhen's sharp eyes were like a sharp arrow, piercing into his heart. He couldn't help but tremble all over and suddenly fell down.
On the ground, he cried like a pig being slaughtered: "Sir, please spare my life, please spare my life. My mother-in-law encouraged me to do this. I...I deserve to die, I deserve to die!"
Magistrate Wen was stunned and pointed at the scars on the child's body and said, "Zizhen, this is..."
Xu Zizhen turned around and said calmly: "Sir, these injuries would not be visible at all if not for special methods. This couple is extremely vicious. They must have used leather straps or something like a leather strap to tie up the child."
Tie him up, put a quilt or book on him, and beat him repeatedly with a heavy object."
As he spoke, he knelt back to the child and opened his eyelids: "Sir, please look at this child's pupils, which are dilated and bloodshot. He was obviously extremely frightened, which eventually led to his death." The more he spoke, the angrier he became, and he stood still.
He stood up, clenched his fists, and glared at Wang Manlu and his wife, "You guys deserve to die for doing such a cruel thing to a child!"
Wang Manlu was shaking like chaff and kept kowtowing to beg for mercy. His wife fell to the ground in despair, her eyes blank. Xu Zizhen seemed to be watching them secretly, and what he said was exactly the same.
When Magistrate Wen saw the reaction of his wife and his wife, he knew that Xu Zizhen's analysis was completely accurate, and he was immediately shocked: "Take down these two vicious people, beat them to the forty boards, and kill them immediately!"
The truth finally came to light, and the poor child was really waiting for justice as Xu Zizhen said. There was an uproar in the hall and everyone exclaimed. No one thought that this young man who dared to roar in the court had such ability.
A seemingly normal case was suddenly discovered with clues.
A series of looks of surprise, admiration or respect were directed at Xu Zizhen, but he was not happy at all. A young life was just lost, and he could never come back alive to play at the knees of his parents.
Thinking of this, he suddenly thought of Rong Xi for no reason, and thought to himself: Is it really okay if it has nothing to do with me? Does it really have nothing to do with me when the Jin Kingdom destroyed half of the Song Dynasty? War, war, isn't it the common people who are unlucky?
How many more orphans will there be in the world?
Seeing Wang Manfu and his wife holding their child and crying heartily, Xu Zizhen thought of his brother who was far away in another world, and felt confused for the first time with his free and easy temperament.
This bullshit war!
