Soon, the official respectfully held a half-meter-long wooden stick in both hands and presented it. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Qingliu stepped forward and handed it to Yang Wenqing, Yang Wenqing took the wooden stick and turned it over, to be precise, it was a firewood stick, at first glance it looked like it was just a black ordinary firewood stick, but if you look at it closely, Yang Wenqing couldn't help laughing, this firewood stick is not evidence! Even the faint smell of blood on it can still be smelled~
The half-meter-long firewood stick, about the width of an adult's index finger and thumb in a circle, should have been red blood on one end, because of the problem of time, the color has already turned into black-brown blood stains, and there are three or four clearly visible finger prints in the middle.
Yang Wenqing put the firewood stick on the public case, raised his head and looked at Li Ruyu, who had already knelt down again, Li Ruyu lowered her head at this time, she couldn't see the look on her face clearly, but Yang Wenqing felt extremely ridiculous in her heart, how did Li Ruyu know that there was such a thing as fingerprints? Could it be that she is also a wearer? She snorted her dirty thoughts in her heart: If you can cross it, people can't?!
But if it's really a colleague, then it's okay for her to be partial, and she will have a companion to talk to in the future, so she asked, "Li Ruyu, do you listen to what this official said, do you say to the next link-Heavenly King Gaidi Tiger?" She just gave it a try, if it was really a colleague, it should be reasonable to blurt out this golden sentence - "Pagoda Town River Demon".
It's a pity that Li Ruyu still disappointed Yang Wenqing, she looked up at the county lord in a daze, and hesitated for a moment before saying, "My lord, although the people know a few words, they don't know much, and they don't know the right pair... “
Zhou Laicai: ... (Lord Yang, you're handling a case!) Handle the case! )
Master Shen: . . . (Good linkage!) )
Clean:... (Ouch, my son, you're going to wait for the pair!) )
Don't say it's them, those officials and Li Xiang and Luo Wufeng who are kneeling in the hall, and even the people outside the fence are a little blind, aren't they looking at the evidence? How did you look at the firewood stick and it became a pair? Meng!
Yang Wenqing reacted, coughed embarrassedly, she seemed to be a little rude, and immediately said to Li Ruyu with righteous words, "Li Ruyu, since you said that this is evidence, then you can tell me what kind of evidence it is." “
Li Ruyu looked stunned, she hesitated and said, "My lord, this, this is a fingerprint, as for the method of verification, the people's daughter, the people's daughter... Her face was a little pale, apparently she only knew that this was evidence, but she didn't know how to use it.
Li Xiang next to him heard it, and suddenly his heart was happy, he just saw this and immediately remembered the lost memory, and was thinking about not knowing how to talk nonsense about it, at this time, it seems that Li Ruyu is bluffing, although he thinks so, his face is not obvious, he said sincerely, "My lord, Li Ruyu is Xiaomin's niece, although now she has sued Xiaomin in court, but Xiaomin, as an elder, can't be blamed, she is also young and ignorant, this firewood stick thing Xiaomin is willing to bear it... “
"My lord, my lord..." Li Ruyu's face turned pale and looked at the county lord in the high seat of the hall, she couldn't find the words to refute what Li Xiang said, she was a little hateful for a while, why didn't she go up and ask for an understanding...
Yang Wenqing didn't know why, seeing Li Ruyu like this, she was relieved, she was silent, her index finger hooked and tapped on the table of the public case, and a crisp voice spread throughout the public hall, as if with appeasement, even the onlookers who were already in turmoil outside the door railing also quieted down.
Zhou Laicai couldn't figure out what Yang Wenqing meant for a while, he looked straight at Yang Wenqing, and looked at this paragraph, from accepting the trial to collecting evidence and taking people, Zhou Laicai knew that Yang Wenqing was planning to defend Li Ruyu, a people's daughter, but what was the reason for the silence now?
Master Shen can't figure it out! He looked at the folk girl, and then at Yang Wenqing, he was still waiting for the next sentence! Why don't you talk about it!
After a while, Yang Wenqing withdrew his hand and said to Qingliu beside him, "Go, choose ten people from the onlookers, regardless of men and women, just need to do a game on the spot, remember to volunteer." Yang Wenqing's voice was not big or small, but it was able to be heard by the people in the hall and the onlookers.
Although Qingliu was puzzled, he still did what he was asked to do, and he went out with a step, and soon brought back ten people standing in front of the hall, men and women, old and young.
Immediately afterwards, Yang Wenqing beckoned to Zhou Laicai, Zhou Laicai willed, and hurriedly stepped forward, Yang Wenqing whispered a few words to him, Zhou Laicai looked at her in surprise for a moment, and then nodded after a while, and stood in front of ten people with red seals and white paper.
Zhou Laicai turned his head to look at Yang Wenqing, and Yang Wenqing met the two of them and nodded to each other, Zhou Laicai said, "Fellow villagers, the county magistrate's game is very simple, you only need to print ten fingers on the paper with each person's hand, so that the truth of today's case will come out." “
Although the people who were selected didn't know what they meant, they were all very curious when they heard that they could know the truth in this way, and they nodded their heads again and again.
A servant had already moved a small table, and Zhou Laicai put the paper and the red seal on the table separately, and there was a little girl who looked about ten years old to press the seal, she smiled with a sweet dimple, and was not tall, wearing a pink roving skirt, and several delicate braids on her head, which looked very cute.
As she came up, soon, ten men, women, and children all took turns, Zhou Laicai looked at Luo Wufeng, Li Xiang, and Li Ruyu who were kneeling, and he said, "You guys come over together." “
Li Ruyu herself has no problem, she got up as soon as she heard it, and when she passed by, she glanced at the little girl with dimples who was laughing sweetly, nodded silently, pressed the handprint and knelt back, and Luo Wufeng and Li Xiang, the two of them quickly glanced at each other, hesitated for a while and finally went up, and when they saw that it was a blank paper, the two of them were calm in their hearts, and they didn't take it seriously, so they pressed the seal and knelt back.
At this time, everyone was curious in their hearts, since they had finished pressing, the next step was to reveal the truth, so everyone's eyes turned to the county lord in the high hall, and the atmosphere was extremely depressing for a while.
Yang Wen straightened her face, looked at Li Xiang and Luo Wufeng, and said, "Defendants Li Xiang and Luo Wufeng, this official will give you a chance now, if you confess your guilt at this moment, this official will consider your crime again and again, and deal with it lightly, but if you think you are innocent, you can now go and elect ten other villagers, they can prove your innocence, remember, this person is your choice." “
Li Xiang and Luo Wufeng were stunned, and they couldn't figure out what the county magistrate meant for a while, but they currently thought that they were innocent, so they got up and chose in the crowd for a while, and brought in ten more people, but this time they were all young people, and they all looked like ruffians.
