Chapter 087: New Evidence
"Don't worry, no, let's go, someone should be here in a while." After speaking, he pulled Jian Ning and jumped out of the high wall.
But later, Xiahou Yan still asked Fengyang to send someone to keep an eye on the carriage. And let Feng Yang investigate the matter thoroughly and be sure to find evidence.
Xiahou Yan came all day and night, watching Jian Ning rush around for this matter, she felt a little distressed, so she thought it would be better to help her.
In the evening, news came from Dong Wu, he found the shop where he bought the dagger according to the merchant logo on the dagger, and the store proved that in the past two days, there was only one person who had come to buy that kind of dagger, and that was the maid beside Yuan Xiang.
Hearing the news, Jian Ning was immediately excited, which showed that Zijin was wronged.
Looking at the smile on Jian Ning's face, Xiahou Yan also smiled happily. Feng Yang had already come to report it just now, and he had already found a way to reveal what he had found to Dong Wu, and he would definitely be able to rescue Ruan Zijin soon.
Two days later, above the court.
"My lord, the folk girl has new evidence to submit." Jian Ning was neither humble nor arrogant, and said loudly, "After verification by the people's daughter, the dagger that was used as physical evidence this time did not belong to Ah Lu, but was purchased by the maid next to Yuan Xiang, the third concubine of Yin Jian, the owner of Baiwei Building. Moreover, the folk girl found a trace of blood in the carriage in the backyard of Yin's house. Based on these evidences, the people dare to summon the relevant personnel to the scene! ”
The county magistrate was gloomy again, originally he wanted to solve the crime quickly, and even found the so-called witness, and wanted them to testify against the maid in court. Which Cheng thought, before the words could be spoken, he was preempted by Jian Ning.
"Biography!" Now I can only pass those people up first, otherwise it will cause unnecessary trouble, anyway, if I finish talking about it earlier, I can be convicted.
It didn't take long for the owner of the shop that sold daggers and the maid next to Yuanxiang to be brought to the court.
The legs of the two trembled slightly. When he saw the county official, he knelt down anxiously. Jian Ning couldn't help but be a little unhappy when she saw it, because Yuan Xiang was not brought.
"Grass people, thank you for all the adults"
"The folk girl Abi sees the adult"
The two of them saluted and kowtowed to the county magistrate in unison.
The county official was shocked and asked majestically: "Xie Quan, this official asks you." This dagger was sold in your store? ”
As he spoke, a yacha stepped forward with a tray, and it was the dagger that was placed on the tray.
Xie Quan looked up at the things in the tray tremblingly, and then quickly lowered his head and replied weakly: "Yes, yes"
"Has anyone in that class ever come to your shop to buy this dagger?" The county magistrate continued to ask.
Xie Quan raised his eyes slightly, looked around, and finally pointed at Ah Bi and said, "This girl came to buy this dagger five days ago. ”
"Has anyone else bought it?" The county magistrate glanced at Ah Lu meaningfully and asked at Xie Quan.
"No, no, this dagger has only recently been sold, because it's very sharp. Naturally, the price is much higher, and no one has bought it except for the girl. Xie Quan replied truthfully, in fact, the reason why he said so honestly, with obvious fear in his voice, was entirely because he was frightened by Feng Yang the day before. Where do you dare to tell half a lie now?
"Have you really figured it out?" The county magistrate's brows furrowed, and the words he asked were also tinged with faint anger.
"My lord, you are so suspicious, is there some ulterior secret!" Jian Ning unceremoniously pierced the county official's face, and no longer let him seize any opportunity to try to make Xie Quan change his confession.
"Abi, this official asks you. Have you ever bought that dagger? The county magistrate saw that there was no way out of Xie Quan's place, so he asked Xiang Abi instead.
"Back to my lord, the slave and maid have never bought this kind of thing at all, my lord Hugh wants to listen to this person's nonsense, my lord must return the slave and maid's innocence!" As he spoke, he kept knocking his mouth. There was still a gleam in his eyes, as if he was going to cry immediately.
Jian Ning has to admire this woman on the side, she is really good acting skills, if this is put in modern times, she is a good material to be an actor.
"Xie Quan. Now that Abi denies that he has bought anything from you, do you still have anything to talk about? The county magistrate breathed a sigh of relief, as long as he was biased towards Ah Bi now, things must have taken a turn for the better.
"My lord, the grass people are not lying, but everything sold in the grass people's shop is recorded, the adults can take a look, and the guys in the shop can also testify, this girl did come to buy a dagger at that time, because it was a girl's family who came to buy these things, the guy should have an impression." Xie Quan didn't follow it at this time, and said anxiously.
You must know that if the county magistrate believes that girl's words, then he will become a liar, and he will be punished!
Later, the account book and the fellow were summoned to court, confirming that Abi had indeed bought the dagger.
The county official's face was almost black at this moment, how could there be such a stupid person, who left so much evidence behind his work, and dared to shout that he was wronged here, and now he can't even step down.
"My lord, the villain has already gone to Yin's house to confirm that there are indeed blood stains in that carriage." At this moment, a messenger from outside came in to report.
This time, the county official's face became even more ugly.
"My lord, based on the above evidence, it is enough to show that Ah Lu was wronged!" Seeing that it was almost over, Jian Ning took a step forward and said firmly.
"Oh! This official may not see it! Although the county official's face was not good, he didn't want to just follow Jian Ning's intentions, so he greeted Wang Zhutou and said, "Wang Zhutou, report on your investigation in the past two days." ”
"Yes." The king came out in response. He saluted the county official, glanced at Jian Ning with disdain, and said, "My subordinates have been investigating continuously for two days, and finally found two witnesses, who had inadvertently seen someone murder with their own eyes!" ”
When Jian Ning heard this, she was startled, but she quickly calmed down. Zijin didn't kill anyone at all, so their so-called human witness is fake, as long as it is fake, there will definitely be flaws.
After a while, two men walked up, and Jian Ning looked like they were thieves, and they must not be good people.
"The grass people have seen adults." The two knelt down in unison and saluted.
"Tell me what you saw in T-Lane on the night of the Huā Lantern Festival?" The county magistrate said with a smile on his lips.
"My lord, I happened to pass by that day and saw a woman stabbing a man with a dagger."
"Yes, yes, I saw it too, I was startled at the time, and I left in a hurry."
The two said back and forth.
"Then you see, that woman is a prisoner in the hall now?" This time, the county magistrate directly pointed at Ruan Zijin and asked the two people.
"Yes, yes, that's her." The two of them nodded quickly as if frightened.
