Chapter 39: The Sorcerer
There was another uproar below. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
"My lord! I didn't commit perjury, I didn't, you have to believe me! Jinxiu hurriedly defended.
"All I can say is that you're really not fit to lie. In just a few sentences, there are many loopholes! “
"I ...... I didn't! Jinxiu said.
"First, you said that the shoes in your hand were worn by Peony that day, and on the day of the Kao Conference, if I remember correctly, it was raining, and the shoes in your hand were very clean and not stained with a little mud, does that make sense?"
"Perhaps...... Maybe I got the wrong shoes in a hurry! ”
"Second, on the day of the Kao Conference, your father-in-law sent Hou Jin to ambush at the lotus intersection and waited until late and still didn't see Guo Shaoyao, which means that Guo Shaoyao didn't pass through the lotus intersection at all, how could you tie Guo Shaoyao at the lotus intersection? I don't think you have a good memory, right? At the first public trial, you heard people talk about it even if you weren't there, why did you still make such a low-level mistake? ”
"My lord, I think it's you who have a bad memory, and the result of the first public trial of my father-in-law was that Hou Jin fabricated the facts and framed my father-in-law in order to avenge his personal vendetta. Er Mazi and Hou Jin's brother Hou Yuan also proved that Hou Jin didn't go to any lotus road at that time, and Hou Jin gambled in the gambling house until dawn that night! ”
"Sure enough, it's sharp teeth, and I reacted so quickly, but I won back another game!" Ru Yan thought to herself.
"Third, you lack the motive to kidnap Guo Shaoyao. If the reason why you kidnapped Guo Shaoyao was because you were jealous that Guo Shaoyao got more favor than you, but according to the villagers of Kao Village, Ning Tao and Peony did not have a good relationship, and the two often quarreled. On the contrary, Ning Tao and you respect each other like guests and respect you very much! Not to mention the rest of the Ning family, it's all towards you! “
Jinxiu looked ahead, her eyes became a little sad, "Haven't adults heard the phrase 'beating is kissing, scolding is love'?" If men and women can still quarrel and scold, it must be affectionate and bonding. On the contrary, if a man and a woman are polite and respectful, it means that they are still separated by a distance as a thousand mountains. Sometimes, politeness is also a way to refuse! ”
Liu Jinxiu's words are not unreasonable, Ru Yan didn't know how to respond for a while.
"Seeing that you are also a weak and weak boudoir woman, how can you kidnap Peony with your own strength?" Ru Yan asked.
"My lord, it's hatred, and hatred is a terrible force. This power can turn a weak woman who is powerless into a chilling murderer! ”
Ru Yan couldn't help but tremble, why did she know that Jinxiu's testimony couldn't stand scrutiny at all, what she said was not the truth, but there was such a real emotion conveyed from her? Could it really be that this woman acted too well?
Ru Yan suddenly had an idea and changed her strategy.
"Cherry, do you know what the consequences of aiding in perjury?" Ru Yan asked Cherry loudly.
"I ...... I...... No! "Cherry was scared.
"Bold!" , Ru Yan slapped the shocking wood heavily, because the force was too great, the shocking wood shook her own hands numb, "Come on, watch the cherry up!" ”
Where has Cherry seen this kind of posture, she was immediately frightened and her legs became weak, and she knelt there and said for mercy, "My lord, I was wrong, I was wrong, Miss, Miss She didn't kidnap Mrs. Peony at all, she just wanted to exonerate the lord and uncle, so she took all the blame on herself, please let the adult let Miss go, let Miss go!" ”
"Cherry!" Jinxiu shouted sharply.
"Miss, I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" Cherry kowtowed to Jinxiu again and again to admit his mistake.
"What should I do now, do I want to lock them up again?" Hazy Moon asked in a whisper.
"In this way, the pothos girl will have to cook for two more people!" Yu Heng joked quietly.
Then, he whispered in Ru Yan's ear: "I didn't wait for the fish this time, but I waited for a small shrimp, what's the matter, can I collect the net?" ”
Ru Yan sighed, "Alas, that fish is really deep, there is no way, I can only close the net first today!" “
Ru Yan was shocked again, "Splendid, cherry, I read that you are all women, and out of filial piety, love, loyalty, and only for the sake of the first offense, this official will not hold you accountable for the time being, and now this official will punish you to go back and face the wall for a month, and you can't miss a day." “
"Thank you, thank you, your lord!" Cherry cried with joy, kowtowed again and again to thank her, and quickly helped up the splendid embroidery beside her, "Miss, get up, we can go home, let's go home!" “
Jinxiu stood up slightly trembling with the support of the cherry, and after standing up, she shook off the support of the cherry and said to Ru Yan: "If the woman doesn't go back, the woman is guilty, please detain the woman!" “
"Bold!" , Ru Yan slapped down again, "You girl, the official said that you are not guilty, you are not guilty, if you don't leave, the official will send someone to drag you away!" Come on, drag the splendid away! That's the end of today's trial! “
"This public trial is over, let's disperse!"
"Yes, let's go!"
"No, there's still no progress!"
The crowd below was talking and was about to disperse and go home.
"Wait a minute! Liu Jinxiu can't be put! It was a man's voice that shouted.
The crowds that were about to leave turned back.
"Looks like the fish are going into the net!" Yu Heng whispered to Ru Yan.
Unexpectedly, suddenly, all the villagers below knelt down in unison.
This move really frightened Ru Yan and the others.
"Could it be that the current emperor has come up?" Hazy Moon was surprised.
I saw that there were four people sitting on a chair, and on top sat a man in black, majestic. The face was covered by a black veil, and it was not clear to see.
"Welcome to the Wizard God!" The crowd below worshipped.
If you look closely, there is a guide in front of the chair, and the guide is indeed the man who blocked the entrance of the cave when Ru Yan and them went to visit the wizard yesterday, and Liu Yuanqing called the messenger.
As far as the eye could see, it was black, the messenger who led the way was dressed in black, the sedan chair bearer was still black, the sorcerer was also black, and even the banner hanging on the chair and the bell of the ornament were all black. Those who don't know it think it's a funeral custom somewhere.
When the sedan chair was carried to the interrogation table, Jinxiu and Cherry also quickly knelt down.
The sleeves of the people on the sedan chair waved down, and the four sedan chair drivers put the chair down. The person in the sedan chair walked down, but still did not speak, but just opened his hands to the crowd and made a motion.
"Thank you, Wizard God!" The villagers below got up one after another. Compared with the previous noisy discussion so much that Ru Yan frequently patted the shocking wood, now he is consciously silent.
"Who's in the audience? Get your name in! Ru Yan asked.
The man ignored her. And the messenger was even more openly sneering, looking at her with contempt.
"Who's in the audience? Get your name in! Ru Yan asked again.
"Bunji-sama, huh?" The messenger still looked disdainful, "I didn't expect you to have poor ears at such a young age!" ”
"You!" Hazy Moon was so angry that she wanted to rush down, but was stopped by Yu Heng.
"Who's in the audience, report your name!" Ru Yan asked for the third time, accompanied by a loud startle.
"Where did ...... come from", likewise, the messenger who wanted to start a conflict was stopped by the black-veiled and masked man.
To everyone's surprise, the man slowly removed the black veil from his head. A tough, handsome, healthy face was revealed. Wheat-like complexion, eyebrows like swords, eyes like torches. Ru Yan didn't expect that the wizard was actually a young man in his twenties.
"Wizard Alang is well!" The heads of the villagers at the bottom were lowered.
"My lord, in the lower Kao Village wizard Yi Lang!" The man shouted at Ru Yan on the stage, his voice loud and deep.
Ru Yan always felt that Yi Lang's appearance was too inconsistent with his identity. Yilang gives people the feeling that he is an ordinary handsome young man in the village, he may be good at singing and dancing, and when he opens his mouth and smiles, he will show a mouthful of hearty white teeth; He might still be able to speak. The sweet words coaxed the girls' hearts to bloom.
However, all this is just speculation, and his actual identity is that of a wizard. He did not smile, his face was gloomy, and his body was wrapped in darkness, looking dull and mysterious.
"Oh, it turned out to be the wizard god, the purpose of Wizard Aaron here?" Ru Yan asked.
"Identify the murderer!" Yilang replied.
"Identifying the murderer? Who is the murderer? Ru Yan asked.
"Liu Jinxiu!" Yi Lang squeezed these three words out between his teeth.
"No, it's not our young lady!" Cherry discerned.
"Shut up, do you have a part in talking?" The messenger rebuked.
Cherry hung her head and didn't dare to say anything more.
"Oh? Did the wizard say that the person who kidnapped Guo Shaoyao was indeed Liu Jinxiu? Ru Yan asked.
"It's not kidnapping, it's killing!" Yilang replied.
At this time, the audience was in a sensation, including Ru Yan on the stage, Yu Heng and Hazy Yue were all very stunned.
"You mean to say that Guo Shaoyao has been killed?" Ru Yan asked.
"Of course!"
"How does the wizard know?"
"My hexagram is revealed!" Yilang replied.
"So, the wizard thinks that Liu Jinxiu is the murderer and the wizard's hexagram, right?"
"That's right!"
Ru Yan couldn't cry or laugh, the thinking of the people in this village was really strange, she still thought that he had any major evidence in his hands, and it actually relied on hexagrams to show that human life was a matter of heaven, but the basis was only hexagrams, which was too child's play!
"Wizard, can this official submit the case when the time comes, the evidence is written according to the hexagram of the wizard!" Ru Yan said.
"That's your business, I'm telling the truth anyway, believe it or not! Don't you like to do a mass vote the most, my lord? Why not put a vote on it today? ”
After Yi Lang finished speaking, he turned around and shouted loudly to the villagers below: "The villagers of Kao Village, believe me, agree that Guo Shaoyao was killed by Liu Jinxiu, please raise your hands!" ”
As a result, hands in the audience sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, and without exception, everyone raised it! “
