288 Together (15, the gossip)
"Trial in the middle of the night! How fresh! ”
"I've never heard that there is a trial at night, what is Lord Jing Zhaoyin doing?"
"It's called the protection of officials and officials!"
"What do you mean? Why are officials protecting each other again? "Some people think that this wind and horses and cows are not related.
"The one who killed the person was the official of Dali Temple! The officials protect each other, and they don't want to ask us to go to the trial, it must be deliberate. Hmph, the world is as black as a crow, this killed lady is so pitiful. ”
Word spread about it, and soon the victim's family found out. Zhang Zong's father-in-law was an old talent, who set up a museum at home and taught a few students, and when he heard the news of the late-night trial, he asked his youngest son to help him and ran to Jingzhao Mansion to cry.
At this time, it was already afternoon, and everyone was eating in Jingzhao Mansion when they heard crying outside. Jing Zhaoyin frowned, and put down the chopsticks with a snap: "Why is it so noisy outside, and you can't ask anyone to eat." ”
A little attendant hurriedly went out to see what was going on, and ran back and said, "It's Zhang Dian's father-in-law crying at the door." ”
Zhang Dian, who was sitting on the side, couldn't hold his face, and hurriedly said, "I'll take a look." ”
"No, if you go, it will intensify the conflict, so let him cry." Liansheng continued to eat as if nothing had happened.
"I said Liansheng, it's so noisy, can the murderer really be fooled?"
It was less than an hour, and Lord Feng had directly and affectionately called Lian Sheng by name, and he really planned to treat her as his niece.
"Don't worry, if Zhang Dian's father-in-law makes such a fuss, the rumors in the market will definitely be more lively. So that everyone in the neighborhood will know by night. That murderer will not be able to sit still. ”
Liansheng ate with relish: "Lord Feng, your Jing Zhaoyin's food is really good, ah, this lion's head is delicious." ”
"Then eat more, look at you, the wind blows and falls, eat strong, so that you will not be ...... Well, so that you won't be bullied by others. ”
Feng Meng pointed to his arm and raised it vigorously: "What is this?" ”
"Tendon meat." Liansheng shouted.
"That's right! It's all strength! ”
"The tendon meat is delicious." Liansheng muttered. Lord Feng is embarrassed!
Zhang Zong saw that the two of them were talking and laughing there. Listening to the cry of the old father-in-law outside, I felt very uncomfortable, holding the chopsticks tightly, but I didn't know where to put the chopsticks. In the end, I had to put down my chopsticks. Sigh softly and look at your food box in distraction.
Liansheng and Kyung Zhao Yin glanced at each other. I have a little more trust in Zhang Zong. This person was so soft and uncomfortable even when he heard his old father-in-law crying outside, he probably wouldn't have murdered his wife.
The old father-in-law cried at the door for a long time, and his strength was exhausted. The youngest son helped him and scolded a few times, shouting to hand over Zhang Zong. There were a lot of people at the gate to see the excitement, I heard that it was because of the night trial, and I heard the youngest son mention that Zhang Zong was the official of Dali Temple, and they also followed to discuss the issue of protecting officials and officials.
The effect of the trouble is obvious, almost half of the city knows that there is a case of a husband killing his wife today, but the officials of Jingzhao Mansion are protecting each other, and they actually decided to try the case in the middle of the night! There has been no such strange thing since the founding of Dashun! This Jing Zhaoyin is deliberately covering up.
As soon as the time came, the gate of Jingzhao Mansion opened, and the two classes of soap servants stood up, and they couldn't open their upper and lower eyelids, so they could only hold on to their spirits and shout might.
Jing Zhaoyin drank the big red robe all night, full of energy, Liansheng sat next to him, and Zhang Zong stood under the hall.
"Zhang Zong, quickly recruit the truth about how you murdered your lady, so as not to suffer from the flesh and skin."
Jing Zhaoyin began to try the case decently.
"My lord, I was wronged." Zhang Zong told him about going home in the morning again.
At this time, the messenger who had been hiding near the door came over and muttered a few words in Jing Zhaoyin's ear, and Jing Zhaoyin looked at Liansheng: "The person has arrived." ”
"Okay, let's do it."
The officials hiding outside the door acted together, holding down the two people who were probing their brains at the door, and Jing Zhaoyin laughed: "Little ones, bring people up to Lao Tzu." ”
The two men were shoved in.
"Huh? Meng Jiu, Guo Qi, why are you? ”
These two people Zhang Zong knew each other, and they lived on the same street as his family, among which Meng Jiu was in business, and Guo Qi was an idler who often caused trouble, how could the two of them get together.
"Well, these two people are the murderers, first hit a hundred killing sticks, and take care of their prestige, this midnight trial, Lao Tzu is on fire in his heart, give me a hard beating." Kyung Zhao Yin ordered.
"One hundred!"
The two of them were so frightened that they fell to their knees: "Master, you can't beat this hundred sticks, and the small one will die." ”
"Are you papery? Is it so ugly that you don't have to be beaten? If you don't die, you won't die, anyway, killing someone is also a death, save the autumn queen to ask for a behead, drag it down, fight! ”
These two people were really frightened, and sure enough, this Jing Zhaoyin loved Hu, no wonder he could try the case in the middle of the night.
Lian Sheng pretended to dissuade on the side: "My lord, there is always a master and accomplice in this murder, and you can't treat everyone equally, and beat them to death with a stick." ”
Hearing this, Guo Qi hurriedly shouted: "Master, it's not the person I killed, it's his hand, the little one didn't kill anyone, he just let him go, if you want to beat him, it has nothing to do with the little one." ”
"Guo Qi, you thief, if you hadn't been on the line, how would I have killed someone!"
That Meng Jiu was so angry that he grabbed Guo Qi's collar and was about to fight.
"Be honest, make trouble again, the two of you fight together!"
Jing Zhaoyin asked someone to tear them apart, pointed at Guo Qi and asked, "Say, how did he kill people, how did you look at the wind." ”
Guo Qizheng was tearing off his collar and told truthfully: "Meng Jiu killed people because of adultery. ”
"Adultery!" Hearing this, Zhang Zong's eyes darkened, and he shook and was about to fall.
"This Meng Jiu has an adulterous affair with the eldest lady of the Zheng family!"
"Huh?" When Zhang Zong heard this, the whole person was stunned: It's not with my wife, so why did you murder my mother.
"Who is this lady of the Zheng family?"
Liansheng asked.
"My lord, it's the landlord of the lower official. There are not many officials, and they can't afford to buy a house, so they have been renting the Zheng family's house. Zhang Zong explained embarrassedly.
Oh, I see, it turns out that there are house slaves all the time, in the end it is the capital, and it is not easy to buy a house.
"Because of adultery with the eldest lady of the Zheng family, I was bumped into by the lady of the Zhang family the day before yesterday, and Meng Jiu discussed with the villain to kill the lady of the Zhang family."
"Wait, why did he consult you about such a murderous matter?"
Liansheng quickly discovered the problem.
"This ......" Guo Qi is stuck.
"Hmph, my lord, I'll tell everything, this Zheng Niangzi is actually Guo Qi's concubine, they fancy my shop to make money, this Guo Qi deliberately approached me and introduced the woman to me, and then I was fascinated for a while...... They were banded together to do the fairy jump, I was fooled and should have avoided them, but I ...... I'm obsessed with sex......"
Meng Jiu beat his chest and paused: "I'm sorry for the lady and my son at home." ”
It turned out that at first, it was the Zheng family lady and Guo Qi who set up a bureau together, and engaged in immortal jumping to cheat Meng Jiu's money, this Zheng Niangzi has a ** temperament, good kung fu in bed, Meng Jiu was fooled and knew the taste, and went to find her a few times, but was inadvertently broken by Zhang Niangzi, he thought that everyone lived on the same street, and he was worried about leaking the news, so he killed the Zhang family lady.
"The two of you, one is obsessed with beauty, and he actually kills people for the sake of so-called fame and face, and the other is for a few money, and set up immortals to jump and harm people! Damn it. ”
Liansheng has been a little angry recently, pointing at the two kneeling people and scolding.
"Uh, Gu raises the sentence, raises the sentence, this Guo Qi's crime is not to death, and the crime is not to death."
Jing Zhaoyin hurriedly explained.
"Hmph, such a cheap man, it's a waste of food to live, and he can bury it in the ground as fertilizer when he dies."
Liansheng's whole person was full of malice.
Jing Zhaoyin felt the shock wave of Liansheng's anger, and asked the two of them to sign the transcript and draw a pledge, and the public trial would continue during the day tomorrow.
"Gu Tixing helped me clear my suspicion and caught the murderer of my mother, and the lower officials are grateful." Zhang Zong knelt down and kowtowed to Liansheng.
"Well, no. Don't do that. ”
Liansheng hurriedly helped him up.
"Gu Tixing, your method is really powerful. It turned out that this murderer really came to secretly watch the trial. Kyung Zhao Yin gave a thumbs up.
"Human nature is all similar, no matter how gossiping about the personnel is none of their business, who will come to see the trial in the middle of the night, and the one who can sneakily watch must be the murderer, or the murderer sent by him." Liansheng smiled.
At this time, there was a sudden sound of clattering horses' hooves, and someone shouted: "Emergency Military Situation 1 Emergency Military Information!"
It turned out that there was an urgent military intelligence report to the emperor.
It's already the middle of the night, what kind of emergency military situation will there be?
Lian Sheng's heart moved, thinking of Yu Shizhao who was encircling and suppressing the rebels of King Qin, and then there was another pain, as if someone had pinched his heart, and he felt a sullen pain. (To be continued......)
