Chapter 68: What is Divided
"This ..... Song Tixing, just now the lower official said the wrong thing in a hurry, Lord Song, you shouldn't blame the lower official, right?"
"Saying the wrong thing? Zhang Zhixian, you and other Zhixian always have so many reasons, as long as Song finds a loophole, you always find words to excuse yourself, do you think Song will believe you?"
"At the same time, Song still has something to say, Xu Yuan, Song asks you, are you familiar with Liu Wu, the murderer in this case?"
Xu Yuandao: "I've never been familiar with it, and we don't know this person, adults, and the little ones also feel that this case is wronged, and I hope that adults will find out."
Zhang Ji said: "Bold, what did you do half a year ago?" Only now to cry out for injustice? Isn't it vexatious? Xu Yuan, this official gives you the opportunity to reorganize the language, you better repeat it, otherwise, this official will not spare you!"
Xu Yuandao: "Lord Song, my wife died unjustly, I hope you can find out the real murderer, otherwise... Even if she dies in the future, she will die without a blink and go down to see her without a face. ”
was despised, Zhang Ji felt that his face was hot, he was also a county magistrate, and he dared to be so faceless, it was really bold.
Song Ci said: "Since the family of the deceased has already shouted injustice, then Zhang Zhixian, we might as well come and take a look at it again, let's just say that this corpse was found on the mountain, Zhang Zhixian said that it was thrown away after death, so Song wanted to ask, why didn't the murderer throw the body down the mountain, but on the mountain?"
Zhang Ji said: "It's not simple? The reason for this is that there are many people under the mountain, and it is easy to be discovered, isn't this reason enough?"
"Really? According to Zhang Zhixian's words, the murderer may not be alone, because ah, Song has been to the top of this mountain, and it is very difficult to walk on this mountain road, not to mention that he is carrying a corpse on his back, even if he goes up empty-handed, it is also extremely difficult, Song asks you, who will be so powerful?
“.... This.... It is possible that the deceased was beaten to death at the top of the mountain, so doesn't that make sense?"
Song Ci said: "In this case, let's take a look at it again, you said that the deceased was killed on the mountain, it means that she must have taken the initiative to go to the mountain, and you took Liu Wu as the murderer, so it must be him who brought the deceased to the mountain?"
"No Cui, there will be no one else besides him, Lord Song, you just admit it, anyway, Liu Wuyi is dead, and it is boring to continue to pursue it, and it is thankless, Lord Song thinks it is right?"
Song Ci shouted angrily: "It's just nonsense, Xu Yuan's conversation just now must have been heard by Zhang Zhixian, here Song wants to ask, why is the deceased willing to go to the top of the mountain with a stranger?" Could it be that she doesn't feel in danger?"
Zhang Ji collapsed to the ground again, muttering to himself, not knowing what to say.
Song Ci said: "Not only that, but Song also found out why the deceased in this case went out frequently before the accident? Go out early in the morning and return in the middle of the night? Isn't there something hidden in that?"
"This and this..... Maybe this concubine of the Xu family has someone outside, do you think this is possible?"
"Someone out there? It's another bunch of nonsense, according to Zhang Zhixian's words, could it be that someone is referring to Liu Wu? People have a loving wife, and at the same time, Song said a shocking word, Xiaoxiang, don't care. ”
"I'm afraid that as the concubine of the Xu family, she can't look down on this poor guy Liu Wu, but Zhang Zhixian, Song still heard a statement, I don't know if you want to hear it?"
"If you have something to say, you can say it, and if you have a fart, you can let it go."
Zhang Ji has broken the jar, and he already knows that the time that belongs to him is probably running out now.
Song Ci said: "It is said that Zhang Zhixian has already determined that the deceased is the concubine of Xu Yuan of the Xu family without asking, so after finding the body, he immediately sent it over, Zhang Zhixian, Song wants to know, how do you identify the deceased?"
"This and this..... In fact, the official also learned from the mouth of the official, otherwise, the official would not know. ”
Song Ci said: "Since this is the case, then trouble Zhang Zhixian to call out this officer, and Song will ask him in person."
The people who originally belonged to Zhang Ji stopped talking at the moment, they are not stupid, they have long known that this magistrate will suffer soon, where do they dare to say more at this moment? They didn't say a word.
Zhang Ji looked at it and wanted to point out someone casually, but Song Ci shouted so loudly that he fell to the ground in fright.
"Bold Zhang Ji, the death of the concubine of the Xu family is clearly killed by you, what else do you have to say at this moment?"
"Ahh Raising the sentence, you said that this official has sentenced an unjust case, why should you say that this official did it at this moment? Murder requires evidence. ”
Song Ci said: "This is not simple, Zhang Ji, Zhang Ji, have you noticed the hemp rope at the entrance of your yamen?" To tell the truth, Song also found this kind of rope at the scene of the crime, and looked at the traces of the breakage, which was clearly cut with a knife, you say, is this a coincidence?
"Haha Song Ci, just with a rope, you want to convict the official, you can't help but underestimate the official, in this case, the official also needs a substantial evidence, if you can't come out, then I'm sorry, I won't admit this case."
Song Ci chuckled, and immediately said to the officials in the yamen: "How many of you, if someone is willing to expose this case, Song promises not to hold him responsible?"
As soon as the words fell, the head catcher immediately jumped out, "Lord Song, the little one testifies that this person was killed by this Zhang Ji because they have an improper relationship."
Then, more people came out to testify against Zhang Ji, and at this moment, his face showed endless remorse and anger.
Eating things inside and outside, seeing the wind making the rudder, and the wind blowing wherever it goes, he is simply blind.
Xu Yuan immediately rushed over, grabbed Zhang Ji is violent beating, Song Ci did not stop him, human life is at stake, and a beating can be regarded as a gift to him.
"Zhang Ji, now Song asks you, what else do you have to say? The evidence of the crime is conclusive, is it possible that you still want to deny it?"
He was silent, and after a long time, he raised his head, "Song Ci, the king is victorious and the king is defeated, it's useless to say anything now, and now, the official admits it, how do you love it."
Song Ci said: "This is what you said,"
Grabbing the brush and ink from the table, Song Ci wrote a sentence on a blank piece of paper, "Zhang Ji, not only did you indiscriminately collect high taxes and make the people miserable, but also deliberately killed people. ”
He was dejected, completely unaware that he had fallen into this fate, and now he regretted it very much, but it was too late.
Song Ci said: "Come on, take off his official uniform, take off his official hat, and then put him in prison, confiscate all the family property, and after counting, distribute it equally to the people."
"Yes!" Wen Cheng Wenwu stepped forward and took Zhang Ji to the cell, and Song Ci came from above
came down and came to the bottom and said: "Xu Yuan, the truth of the matter has been revealed, and Song is also shocked by such a scene, and now, what awaits this Zhang Ji is severe punishment."
Xu Yuan said: "Thank you, thank you, if it weren't for your adult, I'm afraid the concubine's unjust death would never be clear, thank you very much."
"This... This is also the duty of the Official, and there is no need for you to be grateful. ”
