Chapter 20: Ascension to the court

Two days later, in Dali Temple, Gu Yunheng sat in front of the desk and went up to the hall to ask about the case. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info Su Jinchun stood at the bottom to listen to the case.

Wang Shun, Li Xing and Yang Chengzhang were all brought to the hall, and Gu Yunheng was shocked and said loudly: "Li Xing, are you guilty?" ”

When Li Xing heard this, he hurriedly kowtowed to the ground, and said: "The villain is guilty, Gao Feng was accidentally injured by Yang Chengzhang and died of illness, the villain was confused by Yang Chengzhang's money, not only did he not report it, but also helped bury the corpse, thinking that the villain was just an accomplice, and begged the adult to be lenient." ”

Gu Yunheng frowned, and said with a straight face: "It's nonsense, and you dare to quibble until now, let me ask you, you said that Gao Feng was sick and died, but when he did the autopsy, he found that Gao Feng's skull contained silt, and his bones were blue, which was clearly a symptom of drowning." ”

Su Jinchun said on the side: "That's right, I also specially asked Doctor Qi of the Rejuvenation Hall, and Doctor Qi also said that Gao Feng's illness is just an ordinary phlegm and fire disease, and it is impossible to suddenly get sick and die, and if you think about it carefully, Gao Feng died on your ship." I think you heard that Gao Feng was beaten, and you had evil thoughts, deliberately murdered Gao Feng, and then ran to Yang's mansion to frame Yang Chengzhang, just to make money. ”

Gu Yunheng glanced at Su Jinchun, coughed, and said in a deep voice: "Jinchun, above the court, don't talk nonsense. ”

Li Xing kowtowed again and again: "My lord, even if the villain has a hundred guts, he doesn't dare to do such a life-threatening thing, the conscience of heaven and earth, the villain really didn't murder Gao Feng, then Gao Feng died suddenly of an emergency." Besides, the doctor also has misdiagnoses, and the corpse is buried in the ground, for a long time, and it is normal for some sand in the skull to be blue, perhaps it is the case with Gao Feng's physique, or if the bones have hidden diseases, it cannot be judged that it is the villain's harm. ”

Gu Yunheng said with a straight face: "Yes, Gao Feng was indeed not killed by you. ”

Li Xing wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said in a loud voice: "Lord Mingjian." ”

Gu Yunheng continued to say in a tone that was neither light nor serious: "Look behind you, who is standing?" ”

As soon as these words came out, not only Li Xing, but even Wang Shun and Yang Chengzhang turned their heads to look behind them, it didn't matter, Wang Shun and Yang Chengzhang were so frightened that they almost lost their souls, and the person standing was none other than Gao Feng.

Yang Chengzhang was already incoherent, trembling and said: "You, you are Gao, Gao Feng, aren't you dead, aren't you, won't, cheat the corpse, or, you are a ghost." ”

Wang Shun's scalp tightened, thinking that it was he and Li Xing who buried Gao Feng in the first place, and saw with his own eyes that Gao Feng had indeed been buried in the soil, and there was no possibility of survival, seeing Gao Feng standing in front of him alive again, he was so frightened that he couldn't say a word.

On the contrary, it was Li Xing, who was the most calm, lowered his head, sighed, and knew that the matter had been revealed, and no amount of quibbling was useless.

Gu Yunheng said lightly: "Wang Shun, Yang Chengzhang, you two don't need to panic, the person in front of you is indeed Gao Feng, and the body buried that day is someone else." ”

Wang Shun was still puzzled, and blurted out: "Impossible, I saw Gao Feng buried in the soil, how could it be someone else?" ”

Gu Yunheng asked in a deep voice: "At that time, the moon was dark and the wind was high, you really saw it clearly, and in your first confession in court, it was already stated that the corpse was wrapped in a straw mat, and even the head was covered, how could you determine that the person must be Gao Feng." ”

When Wang Shun heard this, he thought about it, lowered his head, and did not dare to say anything more.

Only then did Gu Yunheng continue: "Gao Feng, what happened to you, you can tell me." ”

Gao Feng knelt down when he heard this, and said slowly: "Lord Qiyu, since the little one was beaten that day, he originally had a grudge against Master Yang, but I didn't expect Master Yang to have a sincere attitude. Later, when he returned to his hometown, he got on the boat of Li Xing, the ferryman, and chatted on the way, so he casually told Li Xing about it. When Li Xing heard about this, he said that when I returned to my hometown, I still took a bamboo basket and a jade pendant, and it was convenient for me to come with silver money, and I had to find a pawnshop to exchange it when I went ashore, wouldn't it be troublesome. He asked me to use a bamboo basket to pay for the boat fare, and I also had to exchange some silver money for this jade pendant. ”

Wang Shun and Yang Chengzhang also understood at this time, and turned their resentful eyes on Li Xing.

I only heard Gao Feng continue: "I was also confused for a while, and I didn't even see what Li Xing was thinking, otherwise it would be impossible to give him these objects." I also only took some silver money for the jade pendant, in order to take the jade pendant to the pawnshop in exchange for more silver money, from which to make some small profits, but the price he gave was also reasonable, so I agreed to this matter, Li Xing also asked me, this time will come to the capital again, I only said that in the future, Ansheng will make a living in his hometown, maybe he will not come again, Li Xing also said, although the capital is at the foot of the Son of Heaven, but there is nothing good, how inconvenient it is to leave his hometown, or in his own hometown. ”

Gu Yunheng looked at Li Xing and said lightly: "Li Xing, so far, don't you plan to tell the truth?" ”

Seeing that Li Xing just lowered his head and said nothing, Su Jinchun couldn't help but walk to Li Xing's side, kicked it, and said coldly: "Don't recruit yet, if you don't say it, I'll say it for you." When Wang Shun came to report the case, I felt strange, Gao Feng was a big living person, dead for more than a year, no one knew, I carefully visited Gao Feng's residence after coming to Beijing, and the neighbors said that there were no relatives to find Gao Feng. Imagine, a person who has been out for more than a year and has not heard from him, how can his family not ask someone to inquire. ”

Su Jinchun walked a few more steps around Li Xing and continued: "Besides, Gao Feng and you don't know each other, and they are about to die of a sudden illness when they see it, not to mention letting you find the old story, but explaining to you what happened after you so clearly, this is even more unbelievable." There is another one, if you are really upset about Gao Feng and really want to avenge him, why don't you come to beat the drum and voice your grievances during the day, but sneak to the Yang Mansion at night to say this, what is the intention? It is clearly to take the opportunity to extort a sum of money. It's just a point, I haven't found out yet, since Gao Feng was not killed, then who is the dead man you buried, I advise you to do it truthfully. ”

Listening to Su Jinchun's words, Wang Shun and Yang Chengzhang were a little unbearable, daring to love them for a year of worrying about their lives, it turned out to be for an irrelevant dead person, Wang Shun couldn't help but scold: "Pig's heart and wolf liver, I didn't expect you to deliberately design to frame me and my master, although you didn't kill Gao Feng, but you killed others, trying to make money and killing your life, you simply lost your conscience." ”

Gu Yunheng slapped the shocked wood and shouted: "Above the public court, what kind of system is the noisy shouting, after a while, this king will give you an explanation." ”

I saw Li Xing kowtow and said loudly: "Adult, the small one admits it, and the small interests are smoked in his heart, and he deliberately designs a frame to seek money." However, the big man, the little one really didn't kill anyone, the corpse was a floating corpse on the river. Gao Feng had also seen it at that time. ”

Gao Feng saw Li Xing pointing at him, so he had to say truthfully: "That's right, when I crossed the river, it was close to evening, and there was indeed a corpse floating on the water, I was frightened at the time, and asked Li Xing what to do." Li Xing said that it is common for someone to accidentally fall into the river and drown, so I don't have to worry about it, and when I go ashore, he will go to report to the official. I was bent on returning to my hometown at that time, and I didn't think much about it, so I mistakenly believed what Li Xing said, and I didn't take it to heart, but I didn't expect that this floating corpse actually gave Li Xing a chance. ”

Gu Yunheng frowned, and then asked, "Li Xing, you recruited it truthfully, do you know the person who fell into the river?" ”
