Loulan has always been a country where law reigns supreme. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Article 42 of the Loulan Law stipulates that if a person kills a person, regardless of whether the person killed is a man, a woman, a child, or a baby, the murderer shall pay for his life with his life.

Therefore, if you take 10,000 steps back and say, if Gu Wanyan's criminal charges are established......

Gu Mo was annoyed and spun around in the room alone with a pair of hands behind his back, trying to clear his mind and find a breakthrough in this matter. Now Gu Fu's face is embarrassed in the entire Dongcheng, and the old lady can't come forward in any position in this matter at all, and the civil strife in this family has gone to the court, so how can the old man not be embarrassed.

On the surface, the two elders of the Gu Mansion could only put on a posture of resignation and let this matter develop, but the lady still secretly conveyed the master's meaning to Gu Mo - now I don't care if Gu Wanyan is the murderer of Liu Fengxian or not, and now I can only let Gu Mo come forward and find a way to clear her name.

According to Gu Mo's understanding, on the morning of Liu Fengxian's accident, there were only Liu Fengxian and her maid Yuxia in the backyard, and in the study, there were only Gu Wanyan and Su Qiu.

It seemed that there were only these four people in the whole matter, and it would be very difficult to find another person to provide Gu Wanyan with an alibi-Gu Mo had also thought about finding someone to give false testimony, but he had just given up after thinking about it.

Anyway, now that Liu Fengxian is just relying on one side, and Gu Wanyan and Su Qiu are resolutely denying it, it is difficult for the people in the government to determine Gu Wanyan's guilt. Gu Mo thought about stabilizing the situation first, and in the end, if he couldn't do it, he went to Lou Lanzhen for help.

The next day, the trial was held.

Above the court, the county magistrate sat in front of the public hall, and swept his visiting gaze to Gu Wanyan, Su Qiu, Liu Fengxian and Yuxia who were kneeling on the ground one by one.

There are four people in the jury room: Gu Mo, Gu Yan, Gu Zhang, and Gu Ran. And outside the public hall, there were many people who were curious about this matter for several days, and they were ready to take a look at the lively people with gossip thoughts.

The county magistrate looked at a book in his hand, read it for a long time, and had a bottom in his heart, raised his head to look at Gu Wanyan, and asked in a long voice: "Suspect Gu Wanyan, the prosecutor accused you of deliberately pushing down the pregnant Liu Fengxian on the seventh morning of the first month of March in the first year of Jikang, causing her to miscarry, can you admit it?" Gu Wanyan straightened even if she knelt on her waist. She had no fear on her face, and calmly retorted: "The folk girl doesn't admit it, and the folk girl didn't meet Liu Fengxian that morning. ”

The person who recorded the confession next to the county commander took the note. The county magistrate no longer spoke to Gu Wanyan, and turned his eyes to ask Liu Fengxian: "Prosecutor Liu Fengxian, what evidence do you have for accusing Gu Wanyan of deliberately injuring you and the son in your womb?"

Liu Fengxian looked extremely weak in the eyes of others, and her voice was also weak - she deliberately sympathized with her. Her thin face has no color at all, and it is white and white, so Liu Fengxian looks so pitiful even if she doesn't say anything. Her eyes immediately filled with tears, and at the same time, she deliberately trembled and said, "My lord, that morning, the maid was walking in the backyard of her house with the maid. Just as the maid left the backyard and went back to the room to get something, someone suddenly pushed me hard from behind while I was about to sit down. I fell to the ground without a sense of precaution. After I was pushed down, the maid of the folk girl came back, and the maid and the maid both saw the back of Gu Wanyan leaving in a hurry......! My baby...... That's it...... Woowoowoo......"

Gu Wanyan couldn't help but sneer in her heart, it was really nonsense.

The person who recorded the confession also recorded Liu Fengxian's words one by one.

The county magistrate asked the maid Yuxia: "Liu Fengxian said that you saw the back of Gu Wanyan leaving the scene with her, is this true?"

Yuxia looked nervous and cramped, and she stammered and replied, "Go back...... Back to adults...... It's true......! The folk girl saw with her own eyes that the eldest lady was pushed down...... The second wife left in a hurry...... Back ......"

The county magistrate saw that Yuxia was so nervous, and was suspicious: "You said that you saw your eldest wife being pushed down - but Liu Fengxian said that you went back to the backyard after she was pushed down, what the hell is going on?"

"Ah......" Yuxia didn't know that the county order would notice the details and hold on, and suddenly became more nervous and didn't know what to say.

Liu Fengxian squinted and glared at Yuxia fiercely.

Yuxia was glared at like this, and hurriedly said: "Minnu, Minnu is wrong!" Minnu didn't see the eldest lady being pushed down, and when Minnu took something back to the backyard, she saw the eldest lady fall to the ground, and then ...... Then I saw the back of the second wife running away......"

The person who recorded the confession frowned visibly, expressing dissatisfaction with Yuxia's two different statements.

The county commander nodded slightly, indicating that he had a plan in his heart.

Gu Mo, who was jurry on the side, silently watched everything in his eyes, and was greatly relieved. In fact, based on the words of Liu Fengxian and the maid alone, this case will definitely not be closed. Therefore, after this trial, this case can definitely only be put on hold first, and no conclusion can be drawn immediately.

The county magistrate finally looked at Su Qiu, and asked while looking down at the book in his hand: "Minnu Su Qiu, in the previous case, it was said that you can prove that Gu Wanyan did not go to the backyard on the morning of the seventh day of the third month, right?"

At this time, the people gathered outside the court had already begun to chatter and whisper, some people said that Gu Wanyan must be the murderer, and some people discussed that Gu Wanyan was obviously framed......

Su Qiu's expression was a little weird and unnatural. She tilted her head slightly to look at Gu Wanyan, only to see that Gu Wanyan was still calm in the face of the slander of the two people.

Seeing that Su Qiu didn't answer for a long time, the county commander picked up the clapper on the table and patted it hard, frowned and said, "Answer quickly!"

Su Qiu was stunned for a moment, lowered her head and slowly spoke: "Minnu...... The folk girl can't prove it. ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone present was stunned!

Gu Wanyan couldn't help but turn her head sharply to look at Su Qiu when she heard this, she didn't make a sound, but her mouth opened slightly as if she was asking, "Why."

Gu Mo's eyebrows were furrowed, his face was dazed, and he couldn't wait to rush over to question Su Qiu in person.

Gu Yan and Gu Zhang couldn't believe it, you look at me, I look at you.

Even Gu Ran felt strange, how could Su Qiu's statements before and after be different?

Liu Fengxian - there was an imperceptible smug look on her face.

The onlookers were curious, shocked, and louder. The county magistrate raised his eyes to look at the onlookers with dissatisfaction, and made a heavy slap again, shouting: "Above the court, it is forbidden to make noise." ”

The chatter immediately became quieter.

The county order returned his gaze to Su Qiu: "You go on." ”

Su Qiu's head was slightly lowered, her gaze was fixed on the ground, she didn't dare to look at Gu Wanyan, she didn't dare to look at Liu Fengxian.

"The Minnu only stayed in the study with the second wife that morning, and after the hour, the Minnu was no longer with the second wife. ”

The county magistrate then asked, "Then where are you?"

Su Qiu said: "The second wife was busy at the time, so she asked the folk girl to go out. The folk girl then went to the Huanyi room and saw that there was only one maid washing clothes in the Huanyi room, and then she helped her wash her clothes until noon. ”

Gu Wanyan couldn't help it, and called her name in a low voice with extreme doubt: "Su Qiu——?"

The county magistrate glanced at Gu Wanyan and continued, "But can anyone prove that what you said is true?"

Su Qiu nodded: "Yes, the winter snow in the Gu Mansion Huanyi Room." ”

The county magistrate said to the official next to him: "Go to Xuangu Mansion and come to the winter snow." ”

The official received the order and immediately left the court to go to the Gu Mansion to find someone.

The entire court fell into an eerie silence.

The county magistrate patiently waited for the official to bring back the witnesses, and did not forget to take a sip of tea during the process.

Gu Wanyan's whole head was blank, she saw that Su Qiu Su Qiu didn't respond to her, she had to kneel in place in a daze. Now that the only person who could prove her innocence had begun to make up endless lies, she was no longer composed, and now she began to panic a little.

What's the problem, and why does she feel like she's in a huge trap?

Gu Mo's gaze was fixed on Su Qiu, his fists clenched, and his knuckles turned white. Gu Yan on the side patted him worriedly and whispered, "Second brother, take a look again!"

After a while, the maid Dongxue from the Gu Mansion Huanyi Room was brought.

After Dongxue was brought in, she knelt beside Gu Wanyan. Gu Wanyan glanced at this little girl sideways, and probably had some impression of her in her heart - she had heard Su Qiu say about this winter snow, she seemed to have entered the Gu Mansion with Su Qiu, but what was the relationship between the two, Gu Wanyan had no way of knowing.

The county magistrate took another sip of tea and said slowly, "You are Dongxue?"

Dongxue is not very old, but thirteen or fourteen years old. Her voice was still immature, and she replied softly: "The folk girl is Dongxue." ”

The county magistrate asked, "Where are you on the morning of the seventh day of the third month?"

Dongxue said: "On the morning of the seventh day of the first month of March, the women of the people washed their clothes in the Huanyi room all morning. ”

The county magistrate asked, "Are you alone?"

Dongxue said: "No, at first I was washing alone, and after the hour, Su Qiu came to help me wash the clothes until noon." ”

Gu Wanyan's heart fell with her eyes, so many people are lying all over the place, what is going on? Even Su Qiu, who is closest to her on weekdays, ......

The prefectural commander nodded, as if everything had been understood.

Liu Fengxian raised her head inadvertently, as if to show her victory: "My lord—you must be the master for me!"

Gu Mo was already angry on the side, his face was gloomy, and his cold appearance was overwhelming. At this moment, he still firmly believed that Gu Wanyan was framed.

But—

The most important thing in Loulanguo's trial is the confession, and now all the witnesses' confessions directly express the same meaning - Gu Wanyan is the murderer of Liu Fengxian's miscarriage.

The county order spoke again: "Gu Wanyan, now do you admit that you are guilty?"

Gu Wanyan was stunned for a moment, her expression was stubborn and firm, and her tone revealed an unyielding tone: "The folk girl doesn't admit it." What is the sin of the people's daughter?"

There was a hint of surprise on the face of the prefectural order.

Now that it's all come to this, why is this woman still so hard to be like this?

Jurors are not allowed to make statements during the course of the trial. Even if Gu Mo wanted to help her argue, there was no basis for it, and he had no right.

Now all the evidence available shows that Gu Wanyan is a guilty person, but she still denies it to death-

So what's next? Extort confessions, of course.

The county commander was silent for a moment, then turned to look at Gu Wanyan, waved his hand to the official beside him, and whispered, "Torture." ”

Gu Wanyan heard the word torture, but she still stubbornly raised her head.

I saw several officials walking up to the court, and each of them held a different torture instrument in his hand—a club, a splint, and a tiger chair......

Su Qiu's gaze looked over, and his face turned obviously white.

Gu Mo really couldn't stand it. He stood up, strode behind Gu Wanyan, and respectfully bowed his hand: "My lord, a heavy punishment will cause grievances." The only evidence available now is the confessions of a few people, and it is not yet time to be tortured. ”

Gu Wanyan pursed her lips, and her heart twitched, now that she believes in herself, I'm afraid that only Gu Mo is the only one......

The county commander knows Gu Mo, but his friendship is shallow, and he is polite to him on weekdays. But now that he has been challenged to authority, can he still swallow his anger?

The county order also did not point out that the jurors were not allowed to participate in the trial, and they were not allowed to speak or anything, and he didn't even pay attention to it, but just waved his hand again and spit out two words lightly: "Cane punishment." ”

Gu Wanyan didn't expect that she was going to be punished, and when she heard the "cane punishment", she couldn't help but tremble in her heart - it turned out that she was not as strong as she imagined. When she reacted and looked up at the county magistrate, two officials had already put her on a bench and forced her to lie on her stomach in an embarrassing position.

didn't even have time to think, Gu Wanyan only felt that suddenly a heavy wooden staff fell on his back one after another.

It seemed that the entire public hall fell silent all of a sudden, and only the sound of the wooden staff hitting Gu Wanyan's body was so clear.

The officials did not pity the jade. The pain was heartwarming, Gu Wanyan still endured the pain and bit her lip, resolutely not letting the tears that came out of the pain fall.

Gu Mo stood there, suddenly feeling very powerless, and suddenly had the urge to be beaten instead of her. He couldn't see the gloomy smile on Liu Fengxian's face, otherwise he might have upset the court.

Gu Mo clenched his hands into fists, closed his eyes with a painful expression, and hit her body one by one, but it also made his heart hesitate.

In the end, it was a girl's house, Gu Wanyan was already a little stunned, and she felt that her eyes were black......

The prefectural order made a stop gesture at this time.

The official who performed the cane punishment stopped moving, and Gu Wanyan couldn't help grinning in pain and making a "hiss" sound.

"Gu Wanyan, do you admit it?" the voice of the county order sounded again.

Gu Wanyan endured the huge pain on her back and slowly straightened up. Her face was pale, but the resoluteness and firmness in her eyes never faded. Gu Wanyan still didn't change her words, and said slowly in a weak voice: "I don't admit it." ”
