Chapter 208: Human Witnesses
Chen Zhenshan shook his head, his face full of tears.
These people in the hall subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.
There is no evidence that this is a false accusation, and again, it is the same, everyone's eyes turned from Chen Zhenshan's body to Liu Renli.
The people watching outside were all whispering, saying everything, and the people on Zhou Heng's side were all talking, and there was a lively look, this is good, there is no shortage of people who eat melons in any year.
Chen Zhenshan bowed down again.
"Ask the adult to open the coffin for the nephew and conduct an autopsy, if the autopsy is carried out, the cause of death will be known, and the truth will be revealed."
Liu Renli glanced at Zhang Huaiyuan on his side, and at this moment he could only be commensurate with a master.
"Master Zhang, have you ever found the person you were looking for?"
These officials in the hall pricked up their ears again, and for a while they really didn't know what Liu Renli's intention was when he fell to the ground.
Zhang Huaiyuan hurriedly saluted, "Back to the adult's words, the certification has been found, it is Chen Laosi, a villager from their Chenjiazhuang Village." ”
As soon as he heard that Chu Huan was no longer dry, he subconsciously glanced at Zhang Dashanren, and asked with a puzzled expression:
"Lord Zhizhou, how can this person from the same village testify?"
Liu Renli didn't move, but his eyes fell on Chu Huanpin's body for a moment.
"Chu County's order is a little calm, and you will know when you hear it."
Such a sentence blocked Chu Huanpin, and he didn't know how to argue for a while, after all, this was a case in Wuqing County, and today he was sharpened by Liu Renli as a sharp weapon for Liwei, and he was unconvinced.
At this time, Chen Laosi had already been brought up, and after kneeling down, he raised his eyes to look at Liu Renli who was sitting in the hall, and saw familiar faces dressed in official robes, and he was still sitting among these officials and masters, and he understood everything in an instant.
Thinking of that bag of jerky and a pot of good wine, my heart was gone.
Such a big official can come down to find out the truth of the case, and he doesn't know each other to send food to his father, that's meat!
I have eaten it several times in my life, even if I lose my head today, I have to tell the truth.
Chen Laosi knelt straight with his head held high, looking at Liu Renli in the hall.
"Who are you?"
"Chen Laosi of Chenjiazhuang Village, Wuqing County, there is no tuba that has been called that since childhood."
Liu Renli pointed to Chen Zhenshan, who was kneeling next to him, and asked:
"Do you know this person?"
Chen Laosi nodded, "Yes, he is Chen Zhenshan, they are all natural acquaintances of a village, but they are not very familiar with us, they are not close to us, and because of the use of well water, our two families have also fought." ”
Liu Renli looked at Chen Laosi, the expression on his face was as kind as possible, and then asked:
"What do you know that you are here to testify?"
Chen Laosi nodded, sighed and glanced at Zhang Dashanren.
"Approaching the end of the year, there was really no food at home last month, although the rent was free, I can't eat next year's grain, I went to work in the canal to fill my own stomach, and there was no surplus grain at home, so I went to Wuqing County on October 20.
Following the smell of meat, I touched a house yard, and as soon as I loaded some rice grain, I heard a sound on the back wall, so I quickly hid in a house in the backyard. Who would have thought that a person would come in with the sound of the door, and I saw by the candlelight in the person's hand that this person was actually Zhang Dashan, and I was stunned at that time, and the Zhang Dashan man hugged the woman when he entered the house......"
Hearing this, Zhang Dashan was already stunned, raised his hand and pointed at the flesh on Chen Laosi's face, trembling with anger.
"You bastard, why do you slander the old man so much?"
Chu Huanpin walked to the center of the lobby, hurriedly clenched his fists, frowned, and hurriedly said:
"My lord, this is not testimony, it is simply slander, and this person will be severely punished."
Liu Renli glanced at the two of them and said indifferently:
"Please stand aside first, the official is asking the case, if what this person says is false, the official will punish him."
Choking to death in one sentence, I will ask the case, the official level crushed you to death, it doesn't matter what you say, if you are wrong, you will talk about it later, in the face of Liu Renli's attitude, the two of them have no charter, and they are standing aside, but Zhang Dashanren's forehead has begun to sweat.
Liu Renli looked at Chen Laosi and raised his chin.
"Chen Laosi, you go on, have you seen anything, be concise."
Chen Laosi kowtowed and said yes, thought for a while, and then said:
"Originally, I didn't know who that woman was, but Zhang Dashan called him Cuilan for a lifetime, and I realized that no wonder I looked familiar, this was not Chen Xinrong's daughter-in-law Yang.
I hid behind the screen in the Westinghouse, not daring to move, so frightened that I dropped the rice bags, thinking that I would come out again when the people were gone, but then I heard a whining sound behind me.
I was so frightened that I hid in the gap next to the bed, and the woman ran over with a stick and struck her on the bed a few times, and the whining sound weakened.
Then the great benevolent man came in. He said, "Your man is always half-dead and suffers like this, so it is better to give him a ride." ”
Chen Laosi paused for a moment, and then continued very quickly:
The woman asked, "What's the matter?" Then, the great benevolent man asked the woman to prepare a small pot and a charcoal basin, he took off the big pot, took out a piece of iron lump, threw it in the pot and sat on the charcoal basin, saying that it was tin, and if it was burned and poured down, the person would be gone, and there would be no injury on the surface, so it was good to bury it quickly.
Then the two of them turned into tin water, and Zhang Dashan pressed the man on the bed, broke the man's mouth, and the woman poured a pot of tin water, and after a while, the man did not move. I panicked and scraped the clothes that Zhang Dashan threw on the couch, and by the candlelight, I saw that the jade pendant was Zhang Dashan, and when I saw the two of them go out to call someone, I was so frightened that I quickly escaped from the back window. ”
As he spoke, Chen Laosi held the object in his hand above his head and held it high.
Zhang Huaiyuan hurriedly stepped forward and took the thing in Chen Laosi's hand, and the people around him looked at the thing, Chu Huanpin also raised his eyes, and was speechless when he saw it.
He has seen this thing, the sachet pendant of mutton fat jade, this is an old object, it is said to be handed down by Zhang Dashan's family, and for a while, Chu Huan's back was cold sweat.
Last month, he invited him to eat and drink, and he talked about this case, and at that time he thought it was a trivial matter and didn't care about it at all, so should he plant it on it today?
Zhang Dashan was not calm at the moment, looking at the jade pendant, his face was a little pale, but just Sumeru calmed down.
Straightened up his clothes and looked at Liu Renli with a smile.
"Lord Zhizhou Mingjian, the jade pendant under it has long been lost, and it is also filed in the Yamen, after all, it is a treasure handed down by the ancestors, not to mention worth ten thousand gold, this is a thought of the ancestors, if you don't believe it, you can ask the county order."
Liu Renli didn't ask, just looked at Chu Huanpin.
Chu Huan was stunned for a moment, and after thinking about a variety of possibilities in just two breaths, he finally hugged his fists and said to Liu Renli:
"Back to my lord, Zhang Hui'an did report to pass the customs, but as the New Year approached, there were many things in the yamen, and it was not treated as an important matter."
After a pause, Chu Huan squinted his eyes and glanced at Chen Laosi, now he really wants to break this person into pieces.
If a good citizen doesn't do it, he has to come out to complain, what has become of such a ceremony to take office?
"Lord Zhizhou, this Chen Laosi is just a thief, how can this person's words be used as evidence in court, in the eyes of the lower officials, this person just heard Chen Zhenshan's false accusations, and had evil intentions, stealing jade pendants and framing him, so many birds in one fell swoop, it is really a wolf's ambition."
For a while, these officials in the hall whispered, and some even tilted their heads to look in the direction of Zhang Dashanren.
Zhou Heng has already understood in the back, this Chu Huanpin is worthy of being a reader, this ability to reverse black and white is really amazing, and casually, he will talk about turning the situation around.
But looking at Liu Renli's appearance, does he still have a backhand?
Liu Renli let out an 'oh' sound, and his fingers tapped lightly on the desk.
"It's difficult to do this, Chen Laosi said that he saw the process of the case, and you think that Chen Laosi is just a thief, what he said cannot be proven, Master Zhang exposed Chen Laosi's arms to verify whether he is a thief."
Zhang Huaiyuan hurriedly stepped forward and rolled up Chen Laosi's sleeves, and there were no tattoos or scars on his two smooth arms.
He immediately raised his arms and looked at the people present, naturally not missing the people in the courtyard.
Zhang Huaiyuan clenched his fists towards Liu Renli and said:
"My lord, Chen Laosi doesn't have a tattoo on his arm, so he is not a thief."
Liu Renli nodded, "I took the rice grain and threw it away, right?" ”
"Yes."
Chu Huanpin was about to say that the jade pendant was a stolen object, but he paused instantly, if he said that the jade pendant was dirty, the previous statement would not be valid, and Zhang Dashan would become a murderer in an instant.
Liu Renli seemed to know his thoughts, held up the jade pendant and said:
"As for this jade pendant, it is counted as evidence at this moment, if you want to prove that what you say is true, there is only one way, and that is...... Open coffin for autopsy. ”
