Chapter Thirty-Nine: Fingerprints (Plus Update!) )
"Good!" Yang Wenqing clapped her hands, and the person also stood up, she glanced at the people present with a faint glance, and walked out with her hands behind her back, her steps were not fast or slow, in the solemn public hall, she was as leisurely as taking a walk in the morning, and said while walking:
"I think you're confused now, what is the truth?"
"Actually, it's simple! This truth is already in your eyes, first of all, what we want to prove is, why does this official say that playing a game can prove the truth, and what does this truth prove? “
"Although the official is not well-read, but read a lot of books, in a book of anecdotes, there is a detailed explanation of the role of fingerprints, this fingerprint, is really an interesting thing, it is better to be happy alone than to be happy, this official will tell the big guy today - in this world, everyone is unique since birth, whether poor, rich or rich, it is the same. The pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info and the heavens not only give us life, but also give us a handprint that can identify our identity, and this handprint is a fingerprint. “
"There are four kinds of so-called fingerprints, which are divided into bucket pattern, positive pattern, reverse pattern and arc pattern. Maybe you don't understand this, the official said in another way, in the proverb, the big guy is used to call the lines on the fingers as buckets or kei, buckets are circles, and dustpans are stripes. Isn't there something to say, the so-called one bucket is poor, two buckets are rich, three buckets and four buckets sell tofu, five buckets and six buckets open pawnshops, seven buckets and eight buckets make officials, and nine buckets and ten buckets enjoy Qingfu. Of course, this is just a joke, there is no way to drop a pie in the sky, hard work can have food, hard work can be blessed. “
"You can now look at each of your fingers, the fingerprints on them are similar, but everyone's fingerprints are different, you can compare them with the people around you to understand the mystery."
Yang Wenqing smiled and sat back on the chair behind the public desk, next to Qingliu and the servants were pointing at each other.
"Yes, yes, Lord Tanhualang, my lines are really different!" Someone outside the fence raised their hands and shouted happily.
"Cut, mine isn't it or it's different!" There were those who objected to that humanity.
"Yes, yes, it turns out that I am also unique, no! I have to go home and tell my mother. A crying voice rang out.
"Don't squeeze!"
"Ouch, this one of mine has eight buckets! Then I'm not going to be an official! A sharp female voice.
"Bah, don't be ashamed! Hurry home and go to sleep, what kind of official are you a woman! I'm still nine buckets, it's not the same as selling tofu! Someone said unpleasantly.
。。。
The crowd outside the fence shouted, and the court was also very unpeaceful, the officials and the officials were comparing with each other, and the twenty people who were brought to the court were also compared, for a time it was like a busy city, Li Xiang and Luo Wufeng, who were kneeling, were close, and the two were inevitably compared, but even so, they couldn't figure out what this had to do with fingerprints, as for Li Ruyu, her face was already full of tears at this time, she looked at the county magistrate in the high hall excitedly, and her heart was full of gratitude.
Master Shen still doesn't know much about it, and compared it with Master Zhou, Master Zhou already smiled, and said a few words to him, and after a few words, Master Shen was already looking at Yang Wenqing's direction with bright eyes, and he didn't know whether it was Yang Wenqing who was looking at it, or the firewood stick on the public case.
After a moment, Yang Wenqing was shocked, and she said, "Okay, be quiet!" Now back to the topic. Master, let the villagers selected by the defendant check the fingerprints just recorded, and ask them to help find the fingerprints of other villagers and send them to them. ”
"Yes, sir." Zhou Laicai replied, and distributed the fingerprint prints that had just been printed, and after a while, the ten young people who were selected found the owner of the fingerprint print, and those villagers were surprised when they compared their own handprints, and there was nothing wrong with it! Not to mention them, even the ten young people who returned the paper were also surprised~
Suddenly, Yang Wenqing's face was full of anger, she slapped the startled wood fiercely, pointed at Li Xiang and reprimanded, "Li Xiang! Now that the official is accusing you of beating someone and escaping, and framing your eldest brother Li Chunqiao for injustice, the evidence is conclusive, are you convinced? ”
Li Xiang was stunned for a moment, and then shouted that he was wronged, "My lord, the small people are wronged!" The little people are wronged! You can't convict the people with a stick of firewood! You're the old man! Parents official! The little people are wronged! My lord... ”
"Humph!" Yang Wenqing sneered, not caring about the subtext in his words, she said coldly, "The firewood stick can't convict you, but the fingerprints on it can!" Since you are not convinced, let the big guy give you a look, the eyes of the masses are bright! See if the fingerprint on it is yours! ”
"Master Zhou, take the paper that Li Xiang printed just now and the firewood stick of this evidence and go down to the villagers to help compare! By the way, show him too, let him be convinced! “
Then, Master Zhou took the firewood stick and paper to the fence and compared them to the crowd, and soon the voices sounded one after another, all of which meant the same - the fingerprints were the same!
Li Xiang listened to a cold sweat, and in a blink of an eye, Master Zhou was standing beside him, and there were a few people he had selected just now, and Master Zhou didn't have to make a move, he directly showed them the handprints on the firewood sticks and the paper on them, those young people were also a good thing, and immediately pressed Li Xiang's hand to come out to compare, this comparison, they can see it clearly, isn't it! The handprint on this firewood stick is indeed Li Xiang's, it seems that he did beat someone!
Luo Wufeng on the side could also see it clearly, looking at the bright black and brown fingerprint prints, he only felt that his blood was surging, and his head was in chaos.
Li Xiang naturally also saw the bright and heavy black-brown fingerprints on the firewood stick, his mouth opened, he couldn't speak, and suddenly the whole person softened like a deflated ball, he wanted to refute that this was fake, but the blood stains on it were black-brown, where could it be like this for a while, not to mention that the fingerprints that came out were really his, which was verified by so many people in public, he beat people and escaped, and the fact that he was imprisoned by his eldest brother is already conclusive, and now what he says is just a joke, In a state of exhaustion, he fainted as soon as his eyes were closed.
"Lord County, this person has fainted." One of the young men said, but he kept kicking him.
Yang Wenqing looked funny, but her face was serious, she said, "Please make it convenient for the villagers who came to the court just now, this official will sort out the facts of the case first, and I will thank myself for a while." She spoke in a crisp voice, with a sense of majesty, and extremely gentle, and the villagers did not disagree, and as soon as they heard it, they immediately retreated out of the fence.
"My lord, this evidence... Master Zhou held the bloody firewood stick and Li Xiang's fingerprint paper, and looked at his public case again, he understood very clearly, he should go back to sort out these things.
Yang Wenqing waved his hand to let him go back, here, without waiting for her to command, his own servants brought water up and splashed Li Xiang awake, Li Xiang woke up quietly, and when he saw a group of officials looking at him coldly, his memory turned back, and he got up and lay on the ground with a stirring and kowtowed to confess.
Yang Wenqing sighed in his heart, he knew today, why bother?
It's not a big mistake to beat someone, but you not only beat people and escaped, but also affected your brother, unfilial to your parents, knowing your mistakes and not changing them, and also killing Laipi, this is not right!
The country has national laws, the family has family rules, meritorious service is rewarded, and fault is punished, how can you just kowtow and admit your mistake?
The penalty is still the punishment!
