Chapter 257: The Mirror Hangs High (Part II)

"Come on, hang up!" In the hall of the Kaifeng Mansion to try the case, Li Sanjian instructed Zeng Gongming, Shan Kui and others.

Li Sanjian ordered people to hang up a green official robe, and at this time, the green official robe was hung high in the mansion with its sleeves outstretched.

There is nothing special about the green official robe from the eighth grade, and its special feature is that the placket of the official robe is missing a corner, and there are obvious tooth marks on it.

"Prisoner Xu!" Li Sanjian then asked Xu Shiqing coldly: "This official dress was obtained from your home, how do you explain this?" ”

"This... This... Is it a lowly official garment? Why is Li Tuiguan so sure that this is a lowly official garment? Xu Shiqing was quibbling freely at this time.

This green official robe from the eighth grade is indeed Xu Shiqing's, it was destroyed when Xu Shiqing and others killed Bi Lin, Xu Shiqing wanted to destroy the official clothes, but the official clothes were given by the imperial court, if they were destroyed in public without authorization, then they would be disrespectful to the imperial court and disrespectful to the saints, and they would be severely punished, so Xu Shiqing had no choice but to take them back to his home, waiting for an opportunity to destroy them.

What Xu Shiqing and others didn't expect was that Xu Shiqing returned home due to excessive fatigue, so he took off his official clothes to rest first, while his family cleaned and hung the official clothes in the courtyard.

"Whether it is your official clothes or not, it can be confirmed in the court, but this official still has a way to confirm that you are the murderer of Bi Lin." When Li Sanjian heard this, he ordered: "Come and bring people into the court." ”

The official robes given by the imperial court are all recorded, and it is not difficult to find out this matter, and Xu Shiqing is not allowed to quibble, but Li Sanjian still has witnesses, so Li Sanjian instructed Zeng Gongming and others.

"Take someone to commit it! Mighty... At this time, the officials in the hall knocked on the ground with the water and fire sticks in their hands and shouted in a low voice.

Li Sanjian's reasoned reasoning has aroused everyone's respect for him, and they have to admire him, and they have to clean up their contempt for his age, and they have to sigh that Li Sanjian is worthy of being the best in the world.

Thoughtful and meticulous, where does he look like a young man in his early twenties?

At the same time, Li Sanjian's righteousness is majestic between heaven and earth, which makes people have to have a sense of awe.

Later, several people who followed Xu Shiqing to Caizhou were escorted into the hall of the government and knelt in the hall with shackles and shackles.

"Remove the torture instruments." Li Sanjian then slowly said to these people: "You followed Xu Shiqing back to Beijing from Caizhou, what happened along the way?" To be honest, this official Nianer and others are followers, and they can be sent lightly. ”

"The old man who pushes the official!" At this moment, they were not allowed to lie or keep silent, so a left hall official named Qian Wu spoke: "Xu Dangguan took the little ones to escort Bi Lin back to the capital from Zhenyang County, and when he was twenty miles away from the city of Zhenyang County, Xu Dangguan ordered the small ones to get rid of Bi Lin, but the little ones were afraid to do so, so Xu Dangguan did... He personally suffocated him. ”

"What's the matter with the damaged official clothes?" Li Sanjian asked again.

"Yes ... It was Bi Lin who struggled desperately before he died, opened his mouth and bit the bottom of Xu Dangguan's official clothes, and the little ones pressed Bi Lin's body, and Xu Dangguan suffocated Bi Lin with his official clothes... Qian Wu replied.

"Xu Dangguan, do you dare to say that you are not a murderer?" Li Sanjian was extremely sad and angry when he heard this, and asked Xu Shiqing angrily.

Bi Lin is an ordinary person, even if he is an outsider, even if he used to be a person with a family business, but he is also an ordinary person, he was wronged, and then he was killed and killed, you can imagine how desperate he was at that time, how angry, sad, and desperate he was before he died,

It is called that the heavens should not be, and the earth is not spiritual!

Bi Lin is alone, and only his teeth can fight against these evil officials of the government, and only his teeth can leave ironclad evidence of the crimes of these evil officials.

When Li Sanjian thought of this, his heart was extremely sad and angry, and he was so sad and angry that he wanted to beat these evil officials to death and kill these bastards with a cane.

At this time, Li Sanjian also felt deep remorse for failing to arrive in Caizhou in time, and felt sorry for Bi Lin, who died unjustly.

"Smack!" Lu Changheng was also "angry" at this time, and shouted after slapping him with a shocking slap: "Xu Shiqing, the evidence is ironclad, why didn't you quickly explain why you killed Bi Lin?" Who instructed you to do this? Don't confess? Come, great punishment is waiting! ”

"Yes ... Judge Lin ordered him to do this... Xu Shiqing finally couldn't stand it anymore, and said tremblingly on the ground.

"Judge Lin?" Lu Changheng turned his head and glared at Lin Mindao.

"House... Prefecture... Fuzun... Xiaguan... The lower official is... Lin Min opened his mouth and stammered, and his words were incomplete.

"Take it down, strip off the official clothes, and kneel under the hall." Li Sanjian shouted angrily.

Shan Kui, Xu Biao and others were already angry, and after Li Sanjian gave the order, he rushed up and stripped off Lin Min's official hat and clothes, and punched him a few times, and then pressed Lin Min, who had a blue nose and swollen face, to kneel on the ground in the lobby.

There are six or seven hundred officials in the Kaifeng Mansion, among which of course there are Lin Min's henchmen, but when they come to Shankui and Xu Biao, they are two black men, and they came prepared; Second, it is his own fault, and at the same time, this case is still a life lawsuit, and if he doesn't get it, he will be involved, so Lin Min's henchmen all look at each other and dare not stop it.

Lu Changheng, Sun Deqin and other government officials also looked at each other, and they were all speechless in shock.

No matter what, Lin Min is also a six-grade official of the imperial court, officials commit crimes, have their own imperial court system, impeachment, petition, dismissal, questioning, and have their own set of procedures, where is it like Li Sanjian, who is directly pressed to the ground?

However, at this time, Li Sanjian seemed to be so angry that he lost his mind, so the officials were not easy to persuade each other.

After this incident, if it is investigated, Li Sanjian also has a statement, that is, he is angry about the injustice of the world, and he hates officials for bending the law.

"Let go of me, let go of me!" Lin Min struggled desperately: "Even if this official is guilty, he has his own court law, you can't wait to be so rude, this official is also famous." ”

Lin Min was born as a fellow jinshi, and a court official with a meritorious reputation, even if he broke the law, he could atone for his crimes with an official position in many cases, and he could be exempted from punishment by punishing copper.

"Do you still know the laws of the imperial court?" Li Sanjian angrily asked: "You know the law and break the law, what crime should you be guilty of?" As the one who is in charge of punishment, but you regard the king's law as nothing, and human life as a mustard, do you know the saying that human life is greater than heaven? ”

"Judge Lin, why are you doing this?" Sun Deqin, the official of the left hall of the Kaifeng Mansion, asked.

"It was the old man who begged Judge Lin to do so." Zhou Fanggeng suddenly said at this time.

"Why did you do such a hurtful thing?" Sun Deqin asked with a sinking face when he heard this.

"The old man has a grudge against Bi Lin." Zhou Fanggeng replied.

"Hatred? Ha ha! Li Sanjian smiled when he heard this: "It's just to seek his family's wealth, to make peace with Bi Linhun's family, to seek his family's wealth, and to frame and kill people, this is called revenge?" What hatred do you have? ”

The real reason why Zhou Fanggeng killed Bi Lin was that Bi Lin wanted to find out the real cause of his brother's death, and his brother was also killed by Zhou Fanggeng and others, but Li Sanjian didn't want to mention it at this time, the reason was that once he asked about it, there were many people involved, including Lu Changheng, the prefect of Kaifeng Prefecture.

At this time, Li Sanjian only wanted to bring Zhou Fanggeng, Lin Min, Xu Shiqing and others to justice, and others didn't want to mention it too much, and Li Sanjian didn't dare to mention it, and he didn't have the ability to mention it.

"Li Tuiguan, the old man has admitted to provoking others to kill Bi Lin, what else do you want? Forcibly put a hat on the old man's head, what do you want? Zhou Fanggeng said coldly.

Zhou Fanggeng admitted to the murder in public, which made Li Sanjian feel a little strange in his heart, he seemed to have a fearless appearance?

"Zou with the prisoner." Although Li Sanjian wondered in his heart, he was still ready to interrogate Bi Lin's widow Zou.

"Wu Catcher!" Li Sanjian then shouted Wu Miaoshan.

"The little ones are here!" Wu Miaoshan bowed and answered.

"Tell me about the situation of the prisoner's wife, Bi Zou." Li Sanjian once handed Wu Miaoshan one thing, that is, to investigate the details of the Zou family.

"Yes!" Wu Miaoshan nodded and said: "After investigation, the Zou family, five out of thirty, the Longde Mansion people's family, Yuanfeng came to the capital in the eighth year and married Bi Lin. ”

Wu Miaoshan paused for a moment and said: "The Zou family is surnamed Zhou, not Zhou, but the cousin of Zhou Fanggeng, the Confucian official of the government, who hooked up with Zhou Fanggeng when he was in Longde Mansion, and had a bad reputation when he was in Longde Mansion, and then came to the capital, changed his name to Zou and married Bi Lin. ”

When everyone heard this, they were in an uproar and whispered about it.

It turned out that the two were cousins who hooked up and committed adultery, so is this case a murder due to rape?

Zhou Fanggeng's face suddenly turned red when he heard this, he opened his mouth to say something, but he didn't say anything, Zhou Shi was even more paralyzed on the ground, his lips trembled, and he muttered to himself, but he couldn't hear what she was saying.

"Bi Zhou's!" Li Sanjian glanced at the two of them and said coldly: "Can you tell me how your husband, Bi Lin's brother Bi Chong, died?" ”

"Old... Master... Master, he died of a sudden illness, didn't the government have already made a conclusion at this time? Zhou steadied and gritted his teeth and said.

"Shut up!" Li Sanjian shouted: "At this time, you still dare to talk nonsense? ”

"Miss Gongsun, prepare for an autopsy in the court." Li Sanjian then said to Gongsun Rouniang.

Post-mortem in person? Everyone was puzzled when they heard this, they had been dead for a long time, and they had been buried for a long time, what kind of corpse was Li Sanjian still going to examine?

"A few of you will conduct an autopsy with Miss Gongsun." Li Sanjian then instructed several officials from the Kaifeng Prefecture to make a move.

Gongsun Rou Niang and the government officials nodded in agreement.

At the same time, Yan Si also invited Bi Chong's bones in and placed them outside the lobby, and at the same time put up a pergola.

The bones of the deceased cannot be violently exposed to broad daylight, otherwise it will be disrespectful to the deceased.
