Early the next morning, a drum sounded in front of the Dali Temple. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Gu Yunheng naturally knew that the stakes were high, so he came to the public table early, sat upright, summoned Jing Zhen in, and said in a deep and powerful voice: "Who is kneeling in the hall, and what is the complaint?" ”

Jing Zhen knelt down on her knees and said sadly: "My lord, the people's daughter Jing Zhen, sued Jiang Bingwen, the servant of the Criminal Department, to lure the people's daughters and kill people. ”

The main bookkeeper of the record looked startled, and the wolf in his hand froze for a moment, and then wrote this sentence.

Gu Yunheng's expression was grim, and he said, "Since you have accused Jiang Bingwen of luring and killing, do you have any evidence?" ”

Jing Zhen hurriedly took out a piece of letter paper from her body, presented it with both hands, and said solemnly: "My lord, please see, this is Jiang Bingwen's handwritten letter, in which he promised that after the people's daughter was in high school, he would marry the people's daughter, but now, Jiang Bingwen has reversed his word, left the people's daughter, and married the daughter of the Yushi Lord. ”

Gu Yunheng glanced at it a few times, put the letter on the desk, and said in a deep voice: "Do you have a marriage contract with Jiang Bingwen?" ”

Jing Zhen shook her head slightly and said in a low voice: "There is no marriage contract." ”

Gu Yunheng said with a straight face: "Since there is no marriage contract, that is to say, the two of you are just giving and receiving each other privately." There is neither the order of the parents nor the words of the matchmaker, even if this letter is written by Jiang Bingwen himself, it will not prove anything. This king asks you, since you said that Jiang Bingwen deceived you, what did he deceive you? ”

Jing Zhen's face was slightly red, as if it was difficult to speak, but she finally spoke: "He, he lied to me that he would treat me sincerely for the rest of his life, and I was pregnant with his flesh and blood, and then my father learned about this and forced me to commit suicide, and the child, the child also had a miscarriage because of the river." ”

Gu Yunheng continued to ask: "The love words between men and women can't be counted after all. This king asks you, was it because you didn't want to do it when Jiang Bingwen forced you to commit to him, so that you became pregnant? And tell me the truth. ”

Jing Zhen blushed with shame, and Nuo Nuo said: "The folk girl didn't dare to lie, at the beginning, it was his request, and the folk girl wanted to refuse, but he was very strong, and the folk girl couldn't beat him, so he had to do such a wrong thing half-pushing." ”

Gu Yunheng said lightly: "In other words, this matter was acquiesced by you, and in the process of acting, you did not have any resistance." It's both wishful thinking, and how can it be deceived. If it is really according to what you said, throughout the ages, how many talented people have never been romantic, how many talented people have said to beautiful women, and promised to be old in the wilderness, if these words are counted, I am afraid that the prison will already be overcrowded. ”

Su Jinchun, who had been standing aside to listen to the trial, couldn't stand it anymore, and said loudly: "According to the prince's intentions, Jiang Bingwen deceived the women of the good family, but after falling in love with Jing Zhen, he was irresponsible and ignored it, causing Jing Zhen to fall into the river and have a miscarriage, don't you need to be held accountable?" ”

Gu Yunheng glanced at Su Jinchun coldly, and said lightly: "Jinchun, it is indeed a fact that Jiang Bingwen is irresponsible, but he can't be convicted for this." Jingzhen had a miscarriage in the river, because she was persecuted by her father, and Jiang Bingwen went to Beijing to take the exam at that time, what did he have to do with him. A boudoir woman, who doesn't know the inspection point, does not abide by women's morals, teaches and receives privately with men before marriage, and has children, who can blame her for falling into this field. ”

When Jing Zhen heard this, her face showed annoyance, and there were tears in her eyes, and she said for a while: "What the adults said is good, if Jiang Bingwen is unkind and not enough to sentence, the people's daughter has to admit it, and the people's daughter is blamed for not knowing people." But there is one thing, Jiang Bingwen personally strangled the people's girl Huan Hui'er, and also instructed someone to go to the inn to murder the people's daughter. Murder is a serious crime that can be punished, right? ”

Su Jinchun hurriedly spoke: "Jing Zhen is right, killing people pays for life, why didn't the prince order that Jiang Bingwen to be arrested." ”

Gu Yunheng glanced at Su Jinchun, and said with some dissatisfaction: "Jinchun, is it you who will try the case, or this king will try the case, this king knows what to do and what not to do, and you don't need to command this king." ”

When Su Jinchun heard this, his face was slightly angry, and he turned his head away without saying a word.

Gu Yunheng looked at Jing Zhen who was kneeling under the hall again, and said in a deep voice: "Jing Zhen, since you said that Jiang Bingwen killed your maid ring and sent someone to kill you, do you have real evidence?" ”

Jing Zhen thought about it, and had to say truthfully: "When the folk girl came to the capital, she lived in the Laifu Inn, and later Yahuan went out to help the folk girl inquire about Jiang Bingwen's whereabouts, and she never returned. At night, a man in black broke into the guest room where the girl lived, trying to strangle the girl to death, probably thinking that the girl was already a mortal person, so he told the girl that Yahuan had been killed, and Jiang Bingwen sent him to kill the girl. Fortunately, the people's daughter had a big life and escaped, otherwise she would have died unjustly. ”

Gu Yunheng frowned, and Fang said, "You said it for a long time, and it was only one side. This king asks you again, at the time of the incident, there were people in the inn who saw the man in black entering and leaving your room, did you see what the characteristics of the man in black was, and besides, since you survived, did anyone in the inn know that you were murdered? ”

Jing Zhen shook her head slightly, and said in a low voice: "Minnu, after Minnu came back to life, she was so scared that she didn't dare to stay in the inn anymore, let alone mention this matter to anyone, for fear of being harmed again." So he disguised himself as a beggar, and left from the back door of the inn before dawn, as for whether anyone in the inn knew, the folk girl really didn't know. ”

Gu Yunheng said lightly: "In other words, there is no evidence to prove that you were killed in the inn, and the man in black sneaked into your room, and he didn't leave any favorable physical evidence, right?" ”

Jing Zhen thought about it again and again, so she had to nod and say, "That's true." ”

Gu Yunheng was shocked, and said in a deep voice: "The evidence in this case is insufficient, so the case cannot be decided for the time being, and I will withdraw from the court." ”

While speaking, Gu Yunheng had already stood up. When Su Jinchun heard this, his face was already pale with anger, and he couldn't help but say loudly: "Lord, are you Dali Siqing, not only do you not make decisions for the people, but you deliberately shield Jiang Bingwen." What evidence is insufficient, it's just nonsense, if the evidence is ironclad in front of you, what else do you want to do. From your ascension to the present, you haven't even summoned Jiang Bingwen, just say that Jiang Bingwen is not guilty, you are a faint official. ”

As soon as these words came out, the whole hall was shocked, and Sizheng Jiangxing hurriedly walked up to Su Jinchun and said in a low voice: "Miss Su, how can you talk to the prince like this, do you know what you just said?" ”

Su Jinchun said without fear: "Didn't Jiang Sizheng hear clearly, then I'll say it again, Lord Wang, it's a faint official." ”

Gu Yunheng's face darkened, and he said sharply: "Su Jinchun, don't think that you can be so presumptuous in the court because you saved this king." ”

Su Jinchun met Gu Yunheng's sharp eyes and said coldly: "Is it me who is presumptuous, or is the prince presumptuous." In the case of murder, which involved court officials, the prince did not say that he would send someone to investigate and collect evidence, but said that the evidence was insufficient and the case could not be decided, and then he withdrew from the court. If this case is not resolved like this, I am afraid that the people of the whole world will think that the Dali Temple is dignified, and there is no law at all. I am afraid that in the future, there will be local corrupt officials and corrupt officials who will expropriate and extort tyranny, and the people will be miserable, and they will not come to complain, because they know that the prince of Dali Temple is a faint official, and it is a white accusation if he sues. ”

Gu Yunheng's lips trembled a few times, and finally he breathed a long sigh of relief, gritted his teeth and said: "Okay, Su Jinchun, you have the ability, you said that this king is a faint official, okay, this king gives you power, this king asks you to investigate and collect evidence, as long as you can have enough evidence to prove that Jiang Bingwen did kill someone, and Jiang Bingwen also personally admitted that he killed someone, this king will definitely investigate and deal with it according to law, and will not tolerate it." ”

Su Jinchun said loudly: "I'll check, I'll check, lord, I hope you will be the talker." ”
