The capital city in the twelfth lunar month is freezing cold.
Even if the sun comes out today, it won’t bring much warmth.
Especially when the wind blows on you, it's not much better than a knife.
Shan Shen finally knew why Duke Fuguo didn't come to hear the trial.
Although there is a shed to block the wind, it is better than nothing, but it is not as warm as indoors.
Chen Gui's words last night made the yamen study look greasy and crooked. If Duke Fu could sit under the princess's nose for just a while...
Shan Shen has a shed, and it's okay to watch the crowds of people crowding around.
The one in the middle is really so cold that I want to shiver.
Su Ke's face turned purple due to the cold wind, but he insisted on standing upright, his jaw tightened.
The witness who was talking next to him didn't know whether it was because of the cold or stage fright. He stuttered and trembled while speaking.
This witness is Bowie.
He knew that he would have to reply to Mr. Fu Yin, but he didn't know that it would be at Caishikou, in front of a large audience.
For a moment, I was confused and didn’t know where to start.
When the master saw this, he reminded him and said, "Let's start with how you met Mr. Su."
Su Ke frowned tightly: "I don't know this person at all!"
Bowie clenched his fists.
He is a gangster on the street, working in gambling houses, and he knows how to listen to what others say.
Su Ke's tone was full of contempt, rejection, and disgust, treating him like an ant.
He, Bao Wei, is indeed an ant compared with the distinguished young master, but the Duke of Fu is much more powerful than Su Ke. When he was questioned last night, he had no intention of looking down on him.
Even Duke Fuguo sincerely reasoned with him!
Thinking of this, the fire in Bao Wei's heart rose: "The third young master does not recognize the villain, but the villain has an old friendship with the boy Shi Jie next to you. What else did you have with your outhouse and the boy?
When the widow was messing around, he and the younger one would throw punches and shake dice in the gambling house."
Su Ke's face turned dark.
There was laughter everywhere, which embarrassed Su Ke but also gave Bowie courage.
He clearly explained the ins and outs of how the boy gave him money to do things, how he rented a car, and how he changed cars.
Su Ke said angrily: "It's full of nonsense! Master Shan, can the words of a gambler be used as testimony?"
When Bowie heard this, he raised his hand and pointed his finger in the sky: "If you tell the truth, a villain can swear to God!"
Shan Shen touched his beard.
Suspects, no matter what their origin or background, as long as they have not been crucified, will have this reaction.
He has seen a lot, so he is naturally not in a hurry.
"Then Mr. Su, let your little boy talk about it?" Shan Shen said.
Shi Jie stood in the middle and glanced at Bowie with lowered eyes.
When we were having a drink, we were both in good company, and the money collected by the cashier hit our chests. When we got to the Yamen, we sold them all again without any trouble.
As expected, it is the mouth of a gambler, no word can be believed!
Shi Jie took a breath and said: "I know this Bowie and asked him to rent a car for me. I want to use the car and don't want to go through the house, but this matter has nothing to do with our young master, and the young master doesn't know about it at all."<
/p>
This rhetoric was taught by Xu Guogong.
He and Bowie knew each other, and so many people in the gambling house knew about it, so they couldn't let him go.
Shan Shen asked: "What do you use your car for?"
Shi Jie followed the prepared words: "It's the New Year, so I'll send some New Year's goods to my hometown outside the city."
After Shan Shen listened, his eyes shifted from Su Ke to Duke Xu, then back again, and slowly shook his head.
It’s not easy being a father!
Xu Guogong must have tried his best to make up for it, but the son didn't know how many holes there were, so how could he tell his father everything?
As a result, the patches made by Xu Guogong were patched here and missed there.
Shan Shen did not ask Su Ke to speak again, only calling for witnesses.
The guards at the city gate, the guys at the carriage dealer, the old lady on the mountain road, the young monk in the temple, the owner of the tea stall at the foot of the mountain, all one after another.
These confessions are put together to piece together the cause and effect.
Xu Guogong held on to the armrest of the chair tightly to prevent him from jumping up in a hurry.
He looked at Su Ke in astonishment, his chest heaving and his breathing was not smooth.
Has the handlebar type been questioned by the guard at the city gate?
Were passers-by urging you to move your car on the mountain road?
Didn’t you clean up the water when changing the car?
Why didn’t he tell him any of these details?!
Su Ke's head was also buzzing.
He always felt that he had done a perfect job. Although he failed and did not cause the Lin family's carriage to fall, at least he did not leave any traces. Even if the Yamen suspected him, there would be no gain.
But he actually left so many clues?
Why is everything wrong!
Shi Jie knelt on the ground and kowtowed.
The Duke of Guo made it clear that if something unexpected happened during the court trial, he would have to take over everything.
"It's my fault," he shouted. "I wanted to get water to make tea, but I didn't expect that the bucket overturned halfway and the water leaked on the ground. I really didn't design the Chengyi Mansion intentionally. I didn't expect that the road would freeze."
It will affect the carriage. The little one is guilty, the little one did not clean the ground in time, the little one..."
Beside him, Lin Xun’s face was gloomy.
His family was being plotted in this way, and he felt angry in his heart.
If Uncle Niu hadn't been so good, he might have pointed it out yesterday...
Duke Xu's house was shameless and shameless. Lin Xun knew that they would not admit it honestly, but this excuse made him really irritated.
Lin Yunyan turned around and whispered a few words to Lin Xun.
Lin Xun nodded.
Then, he raised his voice and shouted to Duke Xu.
"How can you use such unpleasant spring water to make tea? Your house's taste in tea cannot be complimented even if you want to." Lin Xun was disgusted. "Since Xu Guogong wants to make up a story, why not make up something more reasonable?
."
Xu Guogong didn't answer.
The bite to death was an accident, and Shi Jie acted alone. Grasp these two points, and you must not be led astray by Chengyi Bofu.
Xu Guogong did not take the bait, but there were many fish in the water.
The strips are plump.
Liao Zi squeezed into the crowd and screamed: "If you don't make tea, maybe you can use it to take a bath. Oh, don't let the fire burn your butt last time, this time you are prepared? I say Mr. Su, instead of being afraid of the fire
, you are rich and powerful, find a few people who can afford it!"
As soon as the words fell.
The whole room burst into laughter.
Shan Shen looked at the excitement below and couldn't laugh or cry.
Although cases are tried in public, there are still some rules in the capital, and the local yamen are even more lively.
The place is not big, and most of the time we are doing trivial things, which attracts more and more people from the countryside to watch.
Shan Shen had heard many comments from friends outside the country in the past. At that time, he lamented that the people in the capital were still afraid of the yamen and were unwilling to come and watch.
Now that I think about it, it’s still because it’s not lively enough.
As long as the excitement is good enough, it can still be crowded.
After all, only those who commit crimes have to be scolded, and they can enjoy the fun without being arrested.
The gavel clapped three times, but it didn't stop the laughter and discussion.
Su Ke was teetering on the edge of laughter, thinking of the smoke and fire that day, how he couldn't tell the difference between men's and women's clothes in a hurry, how disheveled he was seen in the street, and how he shouted in a childish voice...
