Chapter 055: Court Trial (I)
Wu County Ling also felt that this master's brain was not very good, and he hadn't heard any news that anyone had come to the county office to inquire about the case in the past two days. This person even has a talent and fame, I really can't figure it out, how can such a stupid person get famous?
Hearing that Nie Shuyao had something to say, he hurriedly said, "Speak!" What are the arguments of both of you, although you have come, all of you here are people of high moral standing in your county. The judge wants to hear this case in public, so that those involved in the case can freely defend themselves, and I believe that with your intelligence, you will be able to sort out the clues from these few words. Afterwards, I also ask you to discuss with the good students of this official, and be sure not to let go of the person who broke the law and not to wronged a good person, and to let the people of Qu County know that living in our Qu County is guaranteed. ”
After these words came out, even Nie Shuyao admired him, not to mention these old-fashioned ancients? Could this be the precursor to the jury? Don felt that Wu County Ling must have been a big official before, and his wisdom was extraordinary.
The hearts of those elders who have a little insight or the gentlemen and students in the academy suddenly come to life, they are all educated, and many of them have fame. It's a pity that they can't go any further, but their hearts as officials are resurrected with blood at this time.
Although this kind of behavior is not much different from the master defending people in court, it is not ordinary to discuss the case with the county master. The county magistrate is an official, and he has a lot of face when he says it.
As a result, these people were looking forward to this trial. They all spoke out to praise the initiative of Wu County.
Nie Shuyao was stared straight at by nearly forty pairs of eyes, Rao is she has a strong heart, and there is a lot of pressure at this time, and she is not a master, and she doesn't know much about Da Ming Law.
Almost instantly, she came up with the direction of her defense. Since there is a jury-like deposit, let's not talk to them about the Ming Law, let's just put the facts and reason, not to mention that she still has witnesses.
"Yes, sir." Nie Shuyao replied easily.
She walked up to the master and made a junior salute, "May I ask the gentleman's surname?" ”
"Under the surname Gao Mingyuan. You are? Gao Yuan thought that she was also a teacher, and he also hugged his fists and saluted.
Nie Shuyao raised her eyebrows, this person didn't see that she was a daughter, so it would be better. replied: "Under the surname Nie, that Chunliu girl is suing the slave maid she just bought, so regardless of whether this murder was done by her or not, I want to tell you about it." The so-called 'black and white are not clear', and I also want to know if my slave is so cruel. ”
Nie Tianxi and Hutou, who were mixed in the crowd, looked at her with extremely admiring eyes, especially Nie Tianxi, he wanted to write down his sister's words and deeds today, and learn from each other's strengths and weaknesses so that his sister could live a real life as a big lady, and he must not show up helplessly like today.
But Song Yunfei and Jiang Yi ignored Nie Shuyao's gender at this time, she dared to compete with men for a piece of the sky, and the eyes of the two were also staring at her firmly.
Nie Shuyao, who entered the state, quickly left those eyes behind, and she had only one thought, that is, to avenge Yuqin, let the deceased rest in peace, and return justice to the world.
Gao Yuan sneered and said, "I see, I don't know how Nie Gongzi wants to distinguish it." ”
Nie Shuyao knew that there would be a set of methods for being a master, which was also the rule of every line, but she was not a master, and said with a smile: "Let's talk about the case, the adults just said that this case needs to be tried by the big guys, so let's start here." ”
"Humph! Then ask Nie Gongzi to come first. Gao Yuan sneered, a layman like this can win without playing tricks.
"In this way, Nie is welcome." After Nie Shuyao finished speaking, he ordered Wu County: "My lord, I don't know if I can ask a few questions?" ”
"Accurate!" As soon as Wu County's order was given, the voice of the messenger sounded.
"Spread the grievances to the court!"
He was an old man with a hunched back and looked very experienced.
Nie Shuyao asked, "Nie has a few questions he wants to ask about the victim's body, but I don't know ....... ”
He glanced at Wu County's order, and after seeing him nod, he hurriedly said, "Son, please speak." ”
Nie Shuyao asked unceremoniously, "May I ask what the two victims died under?" Where are the fatal injuries? Also, please tell us about the height of the victim. ”
He replied truthfully: "The victim died under a pig-killing knife." The man, who was more than six feet tall, was fatally wounded on the left side of his neck, and was violently cut to death. The woman was stabbed in the center and died, and both were killed with a single knife! ”
He was succinct but telling.
Nie Shuyao bowed his hand to Wu Xianling again: "My lord, I don't know if I can bring that knife up and let the elders take a look." ”
"Accurate!"
Wu County's order was approved again, which made Gao Yuan feel as if something was wrong, and began to use his brain.
After a while, the self-owned catcher came up with the knife on a wooden tray and walked around the observer.
Nie Shuyao said: "You can take this knife and see how heavy it is." ”
After saying this, there was really a person who looked like a scholar and shook it, but he didn't expect it to be so heavy, and the knife suddenly fell onto the tray again.
"Dang!" The earth struck the hearts of the people. At that moment, many people frowned.
These people Nie Shuyao boiled down to smart people because they thought differently.
"I'm sure you've guessed what I'm going to say next." She patted the of these people watching the trial first, and said with a smile: "Elders, please take a look at my slave again, how can a thin body less than five feet tall hold such a fierce knife?" How could they rush up and slash a tall man who was more than six feet tall to death? Could it be that the deceased was kneeling for her to cut? ”
After speaking, before Gao Yuan could answer, she asked Xiang Yanzuo again: "I don't know what the deceased's face and expression were when he died?" ”
"The woman is in tears, and she doesn't blink her eyes when she dies; The man was horrified, his eyes wide. ”
Just one sentence is enough to paint a terrible picture.
Yuqin's tears began to flow again, and she kowtowed: "My lord, the people have wronged her." The folk girl didn't kill anyone, she just heard the screams of her mother and went over to take a look, but she never thought that such a thing had happened. ”
"My lord, the students have something to say." Gao Yuan came back to his senses and said.
Nie Shuyao also said: "My lord, Xiaomin still has something to say. ”
Wu Xian Ling smiled slightly and said, "Come one by one, since Nie Gongzi hasn't finished speaking, let's continue." ”
"Master Xie." After Nie Shuyao saluted him respectfully, he looked at Yuqin: "Let's say what happened again." ”
"Speak!" Wu Xian Ling said very cooperatively.
Yuqin burst into tears and told her how she was sold to others as a child daughter-in-law, how she was called by that family as an animal, how she escaped back, and why she held a pig-killing knife in her hand.
After finishing speaking, the tiger head also ran from the crowd and cried: "It's all my fault, but I don't know why I have that knife in my hand." Please let my sister go, she didn't kill anyone, my mother was killed by bad people. ”
Their plight has been sympathetic to everyone, and many are already whispering about the case.
But in this good atmosphere, Chunliu jumped out, and she shouted at Gao Yuan, "How do you do it?" ”
Gao Yuan was enraged by her reprimand, a little untouchable daughter dared to reprimand him for being a person of merit and fame, it was simply humiliating to him, if he hadn't seen Xiao Taohong's face, he wouldn't have come here.
After Chunliu finished scolding, he ordered Wu County: "My lord, Chunliu saw this slut holding a knife, why didn't he kill my father." This slut is disgusted with the in-laws that my father found for her, so she is ruthless and kills, and she doesn't even let go of her own mother, she is really not human. ”
As soon as she finished speaking, the officials standing around shouted "mighty" again.
Chunliu's heart and liver jumped up with a "bang" and knelt down busily.
Wu Xian Ling was shocked and said, "Where is your evidence?" Did you see it with your own eyes? Yuqin, this official asked you when Chunliu appeared in front of you at that time. ”
Yuqin had received Nie Shuyao's guidance on this question, and replied calmly: "When the little girl ran into the hall, she saw her mother and Chunliu's father lying in a pool of blood, and she screamed in fright for a while, and only after coming back to her senses did she see that the tiger head had a knife in her hand and snatched it away. As soon as I got the knife, Harunliu appeared and yelled that I had killed someone. ”
Wu Xian Ling continued: "So, Chunliu stayed in the house earlier than your sister and brother?" ”
"Yes, sir."
"Chunliu, do you know who did it?" Wu Xian Ling said sharply.
Chunliu was startled, and she didn't know how to ask herself. Hurriedly replied: "I, I was asleep at the time, and I didn't see anything." Really didn't see anything. ”
Nie Shuyao said at this time: "Since you haven't seen anything, how can you say that Yuqin killed someone?" In my opinion, you may have killed this person, waiting for her to blame her the moment Yuqin entered the house. ”
"I didn't, you wronged a good person!" Chunliu pointed at her and shouted again, and at the same time kowtowed to Wu Xianling: "My lord, I really don't have it." ”
"Smack!" Shocked to shoot again, Wu Xianling asked again: "Pay attention to evidence in everything, Nie Gongzi can't talk nonsense." ”
"Yes, sir!" Nie Shuyao immediately saluted him, in short, he had to leave a good impression on everyone present.
As for the tall and far-reaching master, he was already completely there at this time. He didn't know about this case, and he knew that if he said too much, he would lose, so he felt that he was a pillar.
"But my lord, Xiaomin can also prove from another point that my slaves and maids did not kill anyone. Because the timing is wrong! Nie Shuyao said again.
Then she looked around and said, "Please send Xiao Zheng to the butcher to the court." ”
After Wu County's order was agreed, Xiao Zheng Butcher quickly knelt on top of the court.
"Xiao Zheng butcher, I heard that you lost a pig-killing knife a few days ago, but the knife used in this murder." Nie Shuyao asked.
Only then did Xiao Zheng Butcher recognize her, and after being stunned for a moment, he replied truthfully: "Xiao Min has already seen that knife, and it is this knife." ”
Nie Shuyao asked again: "Then may I ask when you lost the knife?" ”
"Half a month ago."
"Did Yuqin go to your butcher's stall half a month ago?"
Xiao Zheng butcher said: "Don't say half a month ago, even in the past six months, their mothers have never gone to my place to buy meat." Their spring willows often go. ”
Hearing this, Nie Shuyao turned around and said, "My lord, I don't need to say where Yuqin was half a month ago." She wasn't in Ewha Town, she was suffering in a small mountain village, and besides, Yuqin had come back that night seven days earlier. The murder happened six days ago in the morning, and she simply didn't have time to steal the pig-killing knife. ”
In this way, Yuqin's suspicion is cleared. Even if Chunliu is reluctant, it is a matter of no mistake, this is the truth!
But at this moment, Gao Yuan, who was regarded as a pillar, suddenly said: "My lord, the student understands. This murderer is Xiao Zheng Butcher, he must have seen his intentions! ”R1152
