Chapter 96: Is there any evidence?
I didn't go to the private room during the Dragon Boat Festival, I was downstairs with Shu Liangyi, and I could see the location of the store at a glance, waiting for the dishes to come up one after another.
Looking at the door frequently during the Dragon Boat Festival, Shu Liangyi picked up the dishes that had already come up, and said with a smile: "Don't look at it, it's impossible to come back so early for the banquet." After eating, I may sit down and drink tea, and I guess I won't be able to come back until dark. ”
"Eat your food, where is all this nonsense." Dragon Boat Festival looked at the door again without giving up, and a person dressed as a domestic servant entered the store, not the person he wanted to see, and he tasted the food helplessly.
Shu Liangyi also saw the servant who had just come in and said, "It's the servant of the Lu family, I know him." ”
The servant said something to Shen Niang, and Shen Niang hurriedly put down the account book and went to the backyard in a panic. The Dragon Boat Festival quickly stopped her and asked, "Is there something wrong with Chongyang?" ”
Shen Niang hurriedly said: "The sun was caught by the people of the Yamen!" Someone accused her of murder! ”
Shen Niang impatiently crossed the Dragon Boat Festival and ran to the kitchen, and she could still be heard shouting from afar: "Red leaves, red leaves!" ”
Shu Liangyi hadn't moved much during this meal, and when he saw the Dragon Boat Festival running out in a hurry, he looked at the dishes on the table, hurriedly threw the chopsticks, took out the silver and put it on the table, and followed the Dragon Boat Festival. said that he had a good treat, but he still paid for it!
Outside the yamen, some people gathered, the hall had not yet risen, and some people arrived one after another to enter the yamen.
By the time the relevant personnel of the case arrived, the hall was already full of people.
That's right, it's the station! Che, Gong, Li, Hong and others who resigned and returned to their hometowns did not kneel, but their sons did kneel. Originally, Chongyang wanted to kneel, but for some reason the master asked her not to kneel. In this way, Chongyang is on an equal footing with these nobles, and he will not lose face or lose face.
Until the official master arrived, he was shocked and asked, "Who are the people in the hall, and who are you going to sue?" ”
Che Shuyuan and others have sued one after another, one count of homicide, multiple counts of murder, and many other crimes. They were all submitted to the court, and the complaints were all filed in Chongyang!
When Chongyang was in Xiaozhuang Building, he did not do anything less to them, and this is how the crime of murder came.
The official man started with the most serious homicide. After a glance, he threw away the paper, "Nonsense! The case of the Gong family has long been concluded! ”
Master Gong stepped forward, "My lord! My son's death is unjust! The case is still full of suspicions, how can it be closed like that! My son is blinded under the Nine Springs, my lord. ”
The official man pinched his brows. was shocked again, and said angrily: "Do you have a difference with this official's verdict? ”
"Yes! Someone said that there was a woman present in the place where my son died, and that woman was her! Those arrests are all witnesses for me, and the letter in Chongshan's handwriting is also written and put by her, it is all evidence, she is the murderer of my son! ”
The official shook his head, "The case is closed, all kinds of evidence point to the evil ghost, and your so-called evidence is not enough to prove that the murderer is her." Did you see her kill? Or has anyone seen it? Speaking of the letter, did anyone see that she had put it away? Evidence! It's all about evidence! ”
Master Gong was silent for a while, because he only had these pieces of evidence that were not evidence.
The official shook his head helplessly and picked up the second piece of paper, "The next one is, attempted murder." ”
Master Li saluted, and his two wounded sons knelt beside him.
The official asked the two young masters of the Li family, "One of you was trampled on in the downtown area, and the other fell off a cliff, have you seen this person pushing you in the hall?" Or is it a troublemaker? ”
The two young masters of the Li family both glanced at Chongyang, and then shook their heads.
The official man sighed, glanced at the other papers, and said, "You better go back and prepare again." Drumming and shouting injustices pay attention to evidence, one of you has no witnesses, and the other has no physical evidence, and it is very difficult for this official to arrest people in a hurry. ”
Che Shuyuan was excited at the time and didn't think too much about it. His only thought was to arrest Chongyang. He met the patrol officer on the street, hurriedly confessed a few words, and asked the official to follow him to arrest someone.
The people were caught, and the pleadings were prepared in a hurry, and the evidence, their evidence was probably only those who believed. But no one has ever seen the letter from anyone.
Chongyang spoke up at this time: "You all say that the sinner is me, but what motive do I have? I can't remember anything when I was young, just when I was the Chongyang you said, just as I was the daughter of the high-ranking official who overturned the case in the rumor. ”
"But may I ask you, do I have any grudges or grudges with you, and do I need to hurt you so much? With all the crimes you have listed, how much this must hate you to torment you like this. I also want to ask why you are so hated, and have you done anything to be sorry for others. It seems to me that these things, except for a letter, are more like accidents, and you are so sure that this is murder, are you a thief or something? ”
Chongyang's words pushed Che Shuyuan and others directly to the forefront.
Many people outside the yamen listened, and immediately began to discuss.
Che Shuyuan and the others were silent, it was better not to say anything at this time. They were forced to lose their coolness, there were pranks by Chongyang from time to time, and then there was an outbreak of plague, and their family members were infected with the plague, and they tortured their conscience again and again, asking if this was retribution.
Knowing the existence of Chongyang, Chongyang's location can just endanger them, the plague is, the accident in Xiaozhuang Building is also possible, and the things on the street are even more suspicious, if they don't act, do they still have to wait to be killed by her? So, they lost their cool and had the ridiculous face to court now.
However, sooner or later, they will have to meet in court, and they will have a warm-up first, and they don't mind.
Facing the noise outside, Che Shuyuan and the others were very indifferent.
The official asked, "What else do you want to say?" ”
Che Shuyuan and others: "It's gone today, tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, sooner or later we will come with evidence!" ”
The official master was happy, and he patted the hall and said, "Retreat!" ”
The hall dispersed, Che Shuyuan and others pointed against everyone's fingers, and got into the carriage under the opening of the road by the domestic servants.
Shu Liangyi, who was outside the hall, pointed to a person who left in a hurry, and said to the Dragon Boat Festival: "That's Madame's subordinates." ”
Dragon Boat Festival smiled: "My stepmother is quite well-informed. ”
Shu Liangyi said: "Madame sent someone to pay attention to the situation of other families, and she knew it if there was a little trouble, not to mention such a major event as other families going to court together." Presumably, at this time, Mrs. already knows the location of Miss Chongyang. ”
Thinking of the sixteen horses of Yannan in Wanghailou, Duanwu said with a smile: "It is useless to invite the people in the dark pavilion, what is the use of inviting miscellaneous fish, let her waste money." ”
Chongyang didn't leave immediately, and saw Mo Jian coming out of the back hall with a person.
Mo Jian said: "This is my cousin, he was your patient not long ago. ”
Chongyang looked at the man, unable to remember who he was.
The man smiled and said, "At that time, I was tied with gauze all over my body, thanks to the Chongyang girl who took care of me." Otherwise, during the last period of time, I didn't know how to get over, and I was hovering on the edge of life and death several times, what it was like...... Alas, don't mention it, in short, thank you girl for saving your life! ”
The master walked over and said to Chongyang, "Thank you girl for saving your life, he is my son." ”
Now Chongyang understands that she doesn't have to kneel, there is this relationship, and her contribution to the management of the epidemic plays a role. (To be continued.) )
