Chapter 108: Fang Tong's Judgment
Changsheng came back after vomiting, and punched Changkang twice, "Stinky boy, talk nonsense, if I can't eat dinner, I won't let you eat it." ”
After laughing and getting down to business, Changsheng continued: "That rich man is also very suspicious, he claims to be surnamed Yu, and he is also from Wucheng, but no one has seen that area, I have been in Wucheng for several years, and I have never heard of a rich businessman surnamed Yu. Besides, the Zhu family is poor, and it is impossible for the girl's family to run around, so how did the two meet, could it be that the rich son ran to the area of Sheep Intestine Lane, just to get to know the daughter of the Zhu family. ”
Most of the poor families in Beicheng are concentrated in the area of Sheep Intestine Lane, even if they are not in Sheep Intestine Lane, they are also nearby.
Even if you get acquainted, it is impossible to get to the point of taking a concubine right away, and it is love at first sight on that woman, and Changsheng doesn't believe it when she is killed.
"I think about it, that day Zhu Xishui didn't seem to be in love, he was in a trance, and he almost splashed the vegetable soup on the guest's body, Cheng Bo thought he was beaten by his stepmother again, took pity on him, and asked him to go to the backyard to rest for a while, so he should be the one who has the best chance of being poisoned."
After listening to Datong's words, everyone fell silent, although there was no evidence, but this matter was done by Zhu Xishui.
"Keep an eye on the Zhu family, if his stepsister is carried away, follow to see where the carry went. Also, Cheng Bo, let him be so ......"
"Yes."
Wei San recuperated for many days, and the residual poison in his body was completely removed, although he was not completely recovered, it was still no problem to get up and walk around.
Yanyulou is full of women, and there are guests in and out, it is really inconvenient for him to stay there, one night, Changsheng Chang'an pretended to be a guest to secretly pick up Wei San and send it to Fang Nuo, who was secretly protected by Lei Hu.
Cheng Bo and they have been locked up for ten days, and it is time to make a move.
Early in the morning, although it is a cold winter, it can be closed due to recent years. The streets are more lively than before, with people selling things, buying things, and eating breakfast. Noisy and shouting, looking at such a lively and prosperous world, I feel that the sky is not cold for no reason, and life is like a sprout on a tree, sprouting new hope.
Zhao Shixiong rubbed his hands. sighed, pushed open the courtyard door, and walked in the direction of the yamen.
Dressed in the exclusive clothes of the yacha and hanging a big knife at his waist, Zhao Zhutou, who is always imposing on weekdays, is a little wilted today, shrinking his neck through the somewhat crowded crowd.
The common people always have a natural fear of the people in the yamen, so everyone consciously let the way out, and those who are familiar with each other also smiled and said hello, "Zhao catches the head early." ”
Zhao Shixiong nodded, raising his somewhat haggard face. Looking at the sky, it was a cloudy day again, this ghost weather, and I couldn't help cursing fiercely.
"Headcatcher."
Ding Zhu quickly caught up from behind, "Why is the head catcher so early today?" ”
"Early? Who made us work hard? Zhao Shixiong smiled self-deprecatingly, "Who doesn't want to sleep on the hot kang with his daughter-in-law in his arms, but what the hell are you doing, I haven't found anything in the past few days, and now I am forced to ask questions every day, I don't supervise it." Take what to deliver. ”
"Actually, the brothers did their best, but the case was ......"
Ding Zhukuai originally wanted to say that this case was ironclad, and it was really difficult to overturn the case. You think, everyone is dead, someone has to carry it, otherwise how to explain.
But he couldn't say this, he also knew that Zhao Zhutou was a sandwich board, and someone on top wanted to loosen it. Some people want to rule strictly, and they don't give in to each other.
The so-called gods fight, the little ghosts suffer, and in the end, it is not them who are unlucky to run errands.
"Forget it, that's the only way, gather the brothers and listen to the arrangement of the adults."
Liu Cheng got the case file handed over by Zhao Zhutou, his brows furrowed and wrinkled, this matter seems to be really difficult to solve, it has been more than ten days, and there is nothing practical at all.
The diners who drank together at the liquor store that day all found it, although there was no sign of poisoning, but the brine was obviously poisonous, which can also be said to be their luck that they did not eat anything poisoned.
As for the rest, nothing can be found, including the poisoner, if outsiders are excluded, then all the spearheads will be pointed at the elixir, and then the elixir can be opened or not, but I am afraid that Uncle Cheng will not be able to escape.
He tried his best to suppress the case for so many days without trial, but what he wanted was not such a result.
Suddenly, I heard a commotion outside, I don't know what the noise was, and I was about to call a small official to take a look, when I saw the yacha guarding the door running in in a panic, "My lord, it's not good, the bitter master has come to make trouble." ”
"Which bitter master?"
Liu Cheng's eyebrows jumped, and he secretly complained in his heart, he was really afraid of something.
"It's the one who was poisoned." Yacha looked at Zhao Zhutou carefully, and sure enough, he saw that Zhao Zhutou's face instantly darkened, but he still had to bite the bullet and continue, "The one who was poisoned by drinking in the wine shop in Beicheng." ”
"Let's go, let's see."
Liu Cheng got up and walked out, and Zhao Zhutou had to follow.
"Lord Qingtian, my son died too unjustly, please ask the lord to be the master of my son, please lord I'm begging."
At the entrance of the yamen, an old woman with white hair was kneeling at the door, her head banging "bang", her thin figure, old appearance, coupled with miserable crying, suddenly made the onlookers sympathize and discussed.
"You know, I heard that her son just ate wine from a wine shop, and when he went back, he was poisoned and died." Someone shook his head, "It's really black-hearted, such a restaurant should parade through the streets, scrape with thousands of knives, and see if he dares to harm people in the future." ”
"I know, I also know the name of that wine shop, it's called Qiong Jelly, I heard that the wine is good."
"No matter how good it is, who would dare to eat it."
Everyone shook their heads and cursed, and saw that there were more and more onlookers, blocking a street.
"Get out of the way, get out of the way, get out of the way for me, dare to block the way of the judge, don't want to live?"
"Alu, don't be rude."
"Yes, sir."
The crowd parted on both sides, and a luxurious shuangji carriage slowly stopped in front of everyone.
The long attendant on the wheel jumped down, lifted the heavy curtain, and saw a short, kind-looking old man in an official robe, pacing down from the carriage.
"Mr. Liu is also here, I don't know what happened?"
The old man looked at Liu Cheng with a smile.
This old fox, isn't this asking knowingly?
Liu Cheng scolded hatefully in his heart. He knew that Fang Fengxian deliberately called him Mr. Liu, which was really a mockery that he had no official position, just a staff member.
"It's Fang Tongju, please let the Lord Tongju be the master."
Someone reminded the bitter master, and the gray-haired old woman finally came to her senses, and turned to Fang Feng to kowtow first, "My lord, please be the master of the people's women, please be the master of the people's women." ”
"Please be the master of the people." I don't know who took the lead and knelt down first, and all the people around him knelt down, shouting in unison, "Please be the master of the people." ”
Fang Fengxian touched the long beard under his chin, his eyes narrowed into a slit, he was very useful for such support in his heart, but there was an embarrassed expression on his face, "Everyone, please take it, the matter of the trial must be decided by Lord Liu, but if there are grievances, the official will definitely convey them on his behalf, and if you think Lord Liu, she will definitely deal with it impartially." ”
Seeing that the onlookers all got up, Liu Cheng took a step forward and said with a smile: "My lord is reasonable, please go back, this case is being heard, and I will definitely give you a satisfactory explanation." ”
When the onlookers heard this, they were a little hesitant, and some of them were anxious and turned to leave.
But after hearing Fang Fengxian, he continued: "As a general judge, this official also has the right to assist in litigation, since the villagers have requested so, then this official will openly try this case today." ”
"My lord, this is not appropriate."
"What's wrong, Lord Liu is not in the government now, does Mr. Liu want to try the case on behalf of his father?" (To be continued.) )
