Chapter 209: Conviction (Part II)
Halfway through, a trip to bite the gold.
Zuo Deng's eyes were all straight.
The county lord of Zhenxian stood up with a bang--from beginning to end, she didn't understand why she was going to fight the Li family! How did the murderer of the Li family become her!? She just wanted to borrow the hand of the Li family to clean up Zhao Tansheng's little cheap hooves, and now how did it evolve into the fact that the Li family was killed by her, and she had a personal affair with that Zhao Xian... All sorts of ridiculous rumors came at her! She couldn't even explain it! She had a mouth but didn't know how to open it!
Even...
Even Yuan Xiu thinks so!
The county lord of Zhenxian remembered Yuan Xiu's words and deeds yesterday, and couldn't help biting his lower lip.
How could he not believe her!
"What confession?"
The crowd was surging, countless pairs of eyes were staring at this temple, and Zuo Dengquan reached out to pick it up.
Li Zipu turned his hand and did not hand it to Zuo Dengquan, but read the confession aloud to himself.
"On the night of the 23rd, someone from the Marquis of Yongning gave me three hundred taels of silver, five taels of gold, ten strings of pearls and some other treasures, I didn't want to take the money, but the man threatened that if I didn't take the money, the silver money that my son lost by gambling Pai Gow must be returned immediately, and if he didn't come out, he would first unload my son's arms and then his legs..." Someone from the Yongning Hou Mansion told me that if I go to Baoshan Temple in the evening to kill my wife and fake it as a suicide, my son will not have to pay back the money he owes... Signed, Zhao Changshou. ”
Zhao Changshou is the name of the Zhao steward.
This so-called suicide note, with yellowed hair and curly handwriting and scribbled handwriting, is the piece of paper that Xu Yizhi forced Steward Zhao to sign yesterday.
The three words of Zhao Changshou were indeed written by Zhao Guanshi.
There was a string of words so long in front of it, scribbled and flustered, and the ink was dry and yellow, and at a glance it was clear that it was written in a panicked situation.
The beautiful handwriting has its own beauty, but the ugly handwriting is the same.
This handwriting is sloppy, and there is mud and brick ash staining, which at first glance is clearly a person's handwriting!
Tan Sheng brushed her sideburns, her eyes were sharp, and she saw the figures of Mrs. Zhao and Zhao Xian flashing through the side door, Tan Sheng lowered his head and pulled the two strands of loose sideburns behind his ears again.
As soon as Li Zipu said this, the hall was in an uproar!
"It's a frame-up!" said Lord Zhenxian's face turned red.
She didn't understand why she had somehow fallen into this situation!
She didn't kill!
Why does everyone say she killed someone!
Someone is going to frame her!
Who is it?!
Is it Mrs. Yongninghou!? Did Mrs. Yongninghou know about her secret relationship with Yuan Xiu? In order to protect her son, she did something to her?
Or is it the lady in the palace? She often chokes on this lady, and it is not impossible for the lady to seek revenge.
The county lord of Zhenxian was in a state of confusion, she didn't prepare anything when she came here today--this person was not killed by her in the first place! The case is based on evidence, what she hasn't done, where is the evidence that is unfavorable to her! She was inexplicably dragged into this troubled water, maybe someone wanted to confuse the public, so they grabbed her indiscriminately... She inquired early in the morning that the chief judge of this case was Zuo Dengquan, the secretary of the Criminal Department, and she asked people to send things over last night, and she also asked people to bring them around... She had the idea that she would show up and leave today... But now look at it, the person who wants to frame her is well prepared, and vows to drag her into this matter completely!
What kind of person, so bad!
Lord Zhenxian's mind was like a mess of paste, "It's a false accusation! This person is dead, you can't believe him just on a piece of paper!"
Li Zipu slapped the suicide note on the table, his eyes gloomy, "Naturally, the verdict of a case cannot be judged by just a piece of paper! Therefore, Xia Guan visited Steward Zhao's house last night and dragged out a full three hundred taels of silver, five taels of gold, and several well-made pieces of jewelry from the kang in Steward Zhao's house! After inquiring at the gambling house, he learned that the gambling debts owed by Steward Zhao's son had also been paid off, and the person who went to the gambling house to repay the debts was masked and dressed up, spoke in a Beijing accent, and had the intention of defending Steward Zhao's son in his words!"
Zhenxian County wanted to refute it, but was preempted by Li Zipu.
"The silver in Steward Zhao's house is the official silver circulating in the market, and the jewelry is also mediocre, but you are a hundred secrets, and the bottom of the silver to repay the debt to the gambling house is engraved with the words 'made inside'!"
Made in-house!
It's from the palace!
The lord of Zhenxian is a royal person, in order to show the emperor's favor, the silver of her fiefdom is marked with an 'in-house' sample!
This silver is not usually available!
If you use the "in-house" pattern to circulate the silver taels, you will be imprisoned and lose your head!
No one in the market dared to move the idea of "in-house" sample silver!
What's more, it can't be moved!
The silver in the market is secretly poked and poked, and the purity is not high.
The silver flowing from the palace is of high purity and bright color, and the difference between the two can be seen at a glance.
Li Zipu raised his hand, and a servant bowed over with a tray in his hand, and the red cloth covered on the tray was lifted, and there were five ingots piled up inside, which were shining with silver light, so bright that Zhenxian raised his hand to block the light!
Li Zhipu carried the silver to Zuo Dengquan's eyes.
Zuo Deng didn't know how to feel.
There is only one point in my heart - this Zhenxian county lord is really careless in his life and work, and he left such a big loophole for people to catch...
The county lord of Zhenxian took a big step and said in a loud voice, "Framed!
"Dare to ask the county lord, you live in the inner house and haven't gone out for a long time, who in this Mandingjing would risk being beheaded and privately flow out the money just to frame you a young widowed county lord?"
The spectators felt that what the adult said was very reasonable.
Zhenxian just doesn't know who is going to frame her!
No one is motivated!
There is no need for motivated people!
There is no power for the necessary people!
Who exactly!
Lord Zhenxian now only feels like her eyes are dazzled, her children are deaf, and she doesn't know anything!
"All crimes require a motive for committing crimes..."Lord Zhenxian forced himself to calm down, suddenly remembered, and raised his voice solemnly, "I have no motive to kill Mrs. Zhao! What did I, a widowed woman, do to kill the wife of a court official? I was framed! I didn't have any motive for committing a crime..."
"No, you have. ”
Outside the hall, a figure crossed the threshold with his head held high, his tone clear.
Zuo Dengquan felt as if he had seen this little girl who suddenly broke into the interrogation hall, this little girl was very beautiful, her skin was white, her eyebrows were picturesque, her face was not happy, and she had a bit of a noble and cold arrogance that rejected people thousands of miles away.
"Who are you!" Zuo Dengquan said softly.
"The little girl is the niece of Zhao Xianqin, the direct servant of the Criminal Department, who temporarily lives in her uncle's house, and the relationship between the niece and aunt of the deceased Li is the family. ”
"What's the matter with trespassing on the temple!?"
"The little girl is here to seek justice for her aunt Li!" Tan Sheng raised his head, tears in his eyes, "The county lord just said that she had no motive to commit the crime, and the little girl knew that she did!
"What is it?" Zuo Dengquan frowned and asked.
"Bang".
Tan Sheng clasped his knees and knelt on the ground, crying like crying.
"The little girl once saw the county lord and her uncle in the courtyard... In the courtyard..."Tan Sheng turned his face away, with a righteous determination to kill his relatives on his face, "Do things in the courtyard!"
"On the same day, Aunt Li also broke through this matter!"
Old Madam Zhao's eyes widened, and the Buddha bead in her hand fell straight to the ground.
Zhao Tansheng... Zhao Tansheng... What is she talking about!!!!???!!!?? [.]
