Chapter 358: Verdict Meng Qingquan
Wang Heng interrupted her and said, "You have already planned it. You know that Xin'er is running away from home, and Wu Fan is always staring at the Wang family outside, so he can keep up with Xin'er when she leaves. If you want to bear the crime alone and exonerate Meng Qingquan, that's a dream! If you don't tell you, this official can sentence your daughter to beheading. If you are obsessed, don't blame the official for being ruthless!"
Wu suddenly went crazy and screamed: "You dare! I did this alone! It was also my idea to assassinate Liang Xinming, and I sent someone to persuade my master." You dare to sentence my daughter!"
She ignored Cai'er's testimony and took the blame.
Wang Heng shouted: "Do you see if this official dare!"
Wu was stunned, first looked at Dali Siqing and Zuodu Yushi, and saw that they did not oppose Wang Heng's opinion, desperate; she looked at Wang Heng again, and the resoluteness in Wang Heng's eyes was like an iron plate, blocking her gaze back, and she was even more desperate; finally, she looked at Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Wang, and suddenly collapsed!
She knelt down and turned to them, and cried when she met her head, "I beg the old lady and my sister to have mercy! Crying and touching it, knocking it very hard, only two times the forehead saw blood.
Old Lady Wang kept silent with a cold face.
Wu turned around again, met in the court and said, "My lord, that incense was made by my sister-in-law, and Wu Fan was also asked by me to wait outside." The sinner woman knows that she is guilty of a great sin, and she is willing to give her grandmother her life. But my clear spring has done nothing, so please forgive her......!
Wang Heng shouted: "Draw a charge for her!"
The clerk brought over the recorded confession.
Wu shivered: "I paint, I paint!"
After the painting, she looked at Wang Heng hopefully.
Wang Heng said in a deep voice: "Take it down!"
Two officials came up and dragged people.
Wu shouted, "My lord, what should I do with my daughter? You can't sentence my daughter! Qingquan is innocent." She really didn't do anything......" was dragged out of the hall, still screaming, and the voice came faintly.
Wang Heng asked his grandmother and mother to retire temporarily.
Then he said, "Take Meng Qingquan!"
Meng Qingquan was brought to the hall again.
Wang Heng said majestically: "Meng Qingquan, the fact that your mother has confessed to murdering the official's wife, do you still want to deny it?"
Meng Qingquan stared at him for a long time before he said, "Since this is the case, the lord will judge according to the truth." The little woman also wanted to hear what the little woman had committed. ”
Wang Heng teased: "This official knows that you are a femme fatale. The officer will not tell you what your mother has confessed. The official will not force you to confess. The official only asks you: Did you really do nothing to murder Lin Xin'er? Do you dare to swear: If you lie, your parents will be sent to the eighteenth layer of hell!"
After speaking, his eyes shot a compelling light.
Meng Qingquan felt that the blood all over his body had coagulated.
He knew her, and she knew him!
He didn't know her completely, and she didn't know him completely!
It's a battle of wits and heart!
Sun Yu, the prince of Dali Temple, stared at the confrontation with full attention.
Wang Heng did not deceive or force, and directly attacked Meng Qingquan head-on: It is not an exaggeration to be a child to apologize for his parents; if she commits a crime but lets her parents suffer it on her behalf, not only will she have no place in the world, but her own soul will also fall into a catastrophe from which she will never recover. The Wu family has already confessed, no matter how Meng Qingquan answers, it will be an end.
Gongsun Yu believes that if he faces this question, he will definitely admit his guilt, because the consequences of not admitting are more terrible than the consequences of admitting guilt, and a woman can't stand it.
However, Meng Qingquan's answer shocked him.
Meng Qingquan said: "The little woman did not murder Lin Xin'er. The voice was firm.
Wang Heng asked, "Do you dare to swear that if you lie, your parents will be sent to the eighteenth layer of hell?"
Meng Qingquan said coldly: "How can a person who is a child easily swear by his parents? The little woman could only swear that she had never murdered Lin Xin'er. ”
Wang Heng sneered: "You don't have to avoid the important and light. If you lie, your parents will be sent to the eighteenth layer of hell!"
Meng Qingquan: "The little girl will not swear by her parents!"
Wang Heng asked, "Then did you lie?"
Meng Qingquan: "......"
Wang Heng said: "You are lying! You participated in the murder of the official's wife!"
Meng Qingquan hurriedly said: "No!"
Wang Heng said: "That means you didn't lie?"
Meng Qingquan: "......"
Wang Heng drank heavily: "Did you lie?"
Meng Qingquan blurted out: "No!"
The voice trembled a little.
Wang Heng said: "Let her draw a charge!"
The clerk took the recorded confession and asked Meng Qingquan to draw it.
Meng Qingquan carefully read the confession, and there was no sentence on it, "Parents went to the eighteenth layer of hell", and Fang was willing to draw a confession. After finishing the painting, he looked at Wang Heng deeply, as if he wanted to carve him into his heart. She knew she was stealing the bell.
Sure enough, Wang Heng trembled with her confession, and said meaningfully: "Whether it is written down or not, your mother has confessed." She has been sent to the eighteenth layer of hell! You have lied to your parents' lives in vain!" Because in Cai'er's testimony, it was she who instigated her parents to assassinate Liang Xinming, and it was she who panicked when she saw Liang Xinming.
There is only one thought left in Gongsun Yu's heart: this girl's heart is really like a snake and scorpion!
She was the polar opposite of Wu's performance just now. She does not admit the crime, but makes people realize her heart: this is a woman who will stop at nothing for the sake of the end. People who don't even care about their parents, what is it to murder Lin Xin'er and assassinate Liang Xinming!
Meng Qingquan felt that he had become an ice sculpture.
She had a little doubt in her mind, as if she was also frozen, unable to expand it to analyze and speculate, and only looked at Wang Heng blankly, waiting for his verdict.
Wang Heng said majestically: "The verdict is pronounced now." ”
Next, he pronounced the verdict on the spot: Meng Yuanxiang, Wu, and Meng Qingquan were sentenced to be executed, and the Emperor Ming immediately executed after approval; immediately confiscated Meng Yuanxiang's property in the capital, and simultaneously confiscated the Meng family's property in Huizhou by the Huizhou local government, and the Meng family's property in Mingzhou was seized by the Mingzhou local government. Pei Gang and others were also sentenced according to their crimes.
Zeng Qingnian and Gongsun Yu were shocked.
Gongsun Yu hurriedly said: "Don't be an adult!"
Zeng Qingnian also said: "Meng Qingquan has a major suspicion, but there is no direct evidence, and she cannot be sentenced to death." My lord, I will be impeached by the imperial history in this way. ”
Gongsun Yu persuaded: "Your Excellency should continue to interrogate." ”
Having achieved such great results, why don't we continue to interrogate? Is it not good to break through Meng Qingquan's mental defenses in one fell swoop and try everything clearly? Such a verdict will be criticized by people.
Before Wang Heng could speak, Meng Yuanxiang and his wife below had already made a fuss, and the two frantically shouted "disobedience", accusing Wang Heng of communiquating personal vendetta and disregarding human life.
The officials rushed up and suppressed them.
Wang Heng "snapped" and said awe-inspiringly: "This official has always had conclusive evidence in judging the case. Today's verdict against Meng Qingquan is by no means an arbitrary verdict!"
Wu screamed, "Where's the evidence?"
