Several big men followed the cell boss and hurried to the direction of the death row inmate, and when they arrived at the door of the death row cell, they saw a terrifying side. There was a man lying on the ground www.biquge.info pen & fun >

Seeing that the cell boss brought people in, Zhao He scolded: "Old man Xing, don't be troublesome, this is the second uncle's order!" ”

Without waiting for the cell boss to react, the big men had already stepped forward and subdued Zhao He and his followers, and rescued the people who were being held, but they also had more air in and less air out.

These people were ordered by Gonggong Zhang to come over and keep an eye on the prison to prevent Yan Juren from "jumping off the wall in a hurry". Unexpectedly, Yan Juren was really bold, and he still killed the sons of the Shen family when the Qin mission had arrived. In addition to holding the weak one in his hand, the condition of the one on the ground is even more miserable, his left arm is drooping, his tendons and veins have been broken for a long time, and he has been useless, and there are dots of white spots surging at the wound, nothing else, it is a fly maggot. Now that he is in a coma with a high fever, it is no wonder that Zhao He and his followers ignored this person first.

If everyone had been one step late, the lives of these two people would have been lost.

Since the cell boss had made a decision and had no way out, he endured his fear and said to those people: "On the ground is the second master Qi of the fifth room of the Shen family, and the other is the second master of the Shen family's sect room. ”

As he was talking, another team of Jinyi guards followed the prefect's yamen prison in, and they were shocked to see Shen Jun and Shen Qi's tragic situation. I really didn't expect that before the case was officially tried, the Songjiang prefect dared to let go of the torture like this.

"Lord Qincha wants to try the case, where is the other person in the Shen family?" Yijin Yiwei asked Si Prison Dao.

Si Prison smiled bitterly: "Another person, another person...... In the prefect's yamen ice vault......"

This prison is a nine-grade junior official, and like the cell leader, he has been a little cautious in the affairs of the Shen family. That is, after Shen Ling "committed suicide in fear of crime", he persuaded Zhao Xianzhong not to burn Shen Ling's body, but to keep it as evidence of "suicide", in case he was bitten by the Shen family. This is the reason on the surface, the real reason is that he is afraid of being implicated by the prefect, and he also wants to leave a line, and he does not want to really offend the Shen family. It's just that before Shen Li returned to his hometown, the Shen family had become a plate of scattered sand, and Shen Hai, the patriarch of the Shen family, was not able to take care of things, and the prison didn't dare to spread the word if he wanted to, so he delayed it to this day. I don't want to be sent down, so I don't want to investigate the matter of the "Japanese Invaders" causing trouble in the local area, but first investigate the case of the Shen family's sons who have been sent down.

The two of them in front of them both looked like they had gone to half a life, and now it was the height of summer, and when the brocade guards heard the "ice cellar", they understood the reason. Two people were separated and went to the ice cellar with the prison, and the others supported Shen Jun and Shen Qi, and even took Zhao He, who had been subdued, his followers, and the cell head to the lobby.

In the lobby of the prefect's mansion, because it was a Qin mission to try the case, Wang Shouren sat in the right seat. The first seat on the lower left is the plaintiff Shen Li, followed by Yang Baihu, who is observing; On the right are Zhao Xianzhong and several high-ranking auxiliary officials of the prefect's yamen. As for Shen Rui, but Xiucai, he is naturally not qualified to sit down, and he can stand behind Shen Li to listen, but Wang Shouren turns a blind eye and releases water.

When Jinyiwei came to the hall and helped Shen Jun and Shen Qi brothers up, Shen Li's expression became more and more cold, but Shen Rui breathed a sigh of relief. Before, because of the ice cellar incident, Shen Rui was worried that Shen Qi had an accident, but now that Master Hongda is looking, he really can't hear such news. But immediately, Shen Rui reacted and was missing someone.

Zhao Xianzhong was already a little unable to sit still, and his subordinates were also surprised when they saw Shen Jun and Shen Qi's tragic situation, obviously the first time they saw the two after the torture. The key is that these two people themselves are famous, but at the moment, Shen Qi's right arm is obviously useless, and Shen Jun looks slightly better than Shen Qi, barely standing against the brocade guard, but his left leg is also a little wrong. Those who are physically disabled cannot be officials, and the two people in front of them have not yet been convicted, they have become disabled, and their future has been ruined.

can be a subordinate official in the prefect's yamen, even if he is not a jinshi, he is mostly a person, although it is not enough to say that his lips are dead and his teeth are cold, but he also shocks the hot hands of his boss.

Wang Shouren was not in a hurry to ask about the case, Shen Li said: "Lord Zhao, there are three detainees in the Shen family, dare to ask where the other one is?" ”

Zhao Xianzhong was like sitting on pins and needles, and at this moment he finally had the confidence to say: "The suspect Shen Ling has committed suicide in fear of guilt after pleading guilty, and there is a corpse as evidence!" ”

As if cooperating with Zhao Xianzhong's words, the prison took two brocade guards and carried Shen Ling's body up. Although two months have passed, the corpse remains intact because it has been stored in the ice storage, there are still traces of torture on the face and hands, and the strangulation marks on the neck of the corpse are obvious.

Zhao Xianzhong seemed to pull back a game, raised his chin and said: "When I want to collude with the bandits, Shen Ling doesn't know that it will harm the people in the city and the Shen clan, so she will choose to hang herself when she feels guilty!" ”

Shen Rui stood behind Shen Li and looked at Shen Ling's corpse, his eyes about to erupt with fire. If it is said that any of the three Shen family members who were detained will not be able to endure the torture and commit suicide, it may be Shen Jun and Shen Qi, but it will never be Shen Ling.

Shen Ling is the eldest son of the concubine, her identity is embarrassing, she has been begging for a living under her mother since she was a child, and she began to enter the shop as an apprentice when she was a teenager. Not to mention that there are still delicate wives and weak children who were driven out by the Shen family's third room outside, how can they rest assured that they will pass away? If it weren't for the murder, there would have been another reason for this suicide.

Thinking of this, Shen Rui lowered his head and whispered to Shen Li: "Sixth brother, the clothes on the second brother Ling are wrong. ”

Just looking at the injuries on Shen Ling's face and hands, she suffered a lot during the torture, but the clothes on her body were not new and clean, and there was no blood.

Shen Li sneered at Zhao Xianzhong: "There is no formal trial yet, Lord Zhao is convicted too early, or is he bullying the deceased and can't speak?" Speaking of this, he got up and said to Wang Shouren: "Please ask Lord Qincha for permission to conduct an autopsy in the hall to find out the real cause of death of the deceased!" ”

Wang Shouren was sentenced to death in Anhui a few years ago, and he was used to seeing torture, but he was still shocked by what happened to the sons of the Shen family. The Ming Dynasty emphasized literature over military force, no matter what Zhao Xianzhong had, acting like this had already violated the taboo of officialdom and scholars.

Wang Shouren didn't even save face for Zhao Xianzhong, and directly ordered: "Grant what the plaintiff asks, conduct an autopsy in court, and thoroughly investigate the cause of death of the deceased!" ”

The prefect's yamen had a work to do, but Wang Shouren did not abandon it, and ordered him to do an autopsy in the court. As soon as Shen Ling was about to take off Shen Ling's clothes, Shen Jun, who was originally a little confused, came to his senses a little, and immediately rushed over to stop him, not allowing him to continue to do it.

"Shen Jun, why did you obstruct the autopsy?" Wang Shouren frowned.

Shen Jun looked at the hall, he didn't recognize Wang Shouren for a while, but he saw Shen Li sitting next to him, and his eyes, which had lost his vitality, suddenly became a little more angry, but when he looked down at Shen Ling, he was more sad and angry: "My lord, the student died unjustly, and I ask the adult to leave him some dignity, don't look at it in the court." ”

"Since the family of the deceased is unwilling to conduct an autopsy, Lord Qincha will fulfill him." Without waiting for Wang Shouren to speak, Zhao Xianzhong persuaded in a low voice.

"Who's to say no?" Shen Jun looked at Zhao Xianzhong, his eyes red: "If you don't conduct an autopsy, how can you uncover your evil deeds of insulting the Rites and Sect and mutilating Shilin?" ”

Zhao Xianzhong was annoyed and ashamed, got up and scolded: "Presumptuous! The little suspect dared to roar in court and pull down to beat forty boards! ”

There are also officials in the hall, but all the brocade guards are in front, and no one dares to take a step.

Zhao Xianzhong blushed and turned his head to look at Wang Shouren.

Wang Shouren didn't look at him, and instructed him: "Go into the inner hall to check." ”

Several brocade guards carried Shen Ling's body and took him into the inner hall.

Zhao Xianzhong's face was pale, and his eyes were already worried. All the subordinate officials of the prefect noticed that something was wrong, and they couldn't wait to get up immediately and go to the left to line up, and the farther away from Zhao Xianzhong, the better.

In the side hall of the prefect, Zhang Yong did not go to the main hall with Wang Shouren to hear the trial, but just in case, let Jinyiwei take over the defense of the prefect's yamen.

After listening to the reply of Jinyiwei, who had gone to the prison before, Zhang Yong laughed angrily. He really didn't expect Yan Juren to really have such courage and such means, falsely spread Zhao Xianzhong's orders, and fooled Zhao Xianzhong's own nephew to do it. If the Shen family is really killed, even if Zhao Xianzhong shouts injustice, who will believe it?

"Keep an eye on that kid, the cunning rabbit three holes, follow the vine and touch the melon, and see where else there is a nail in this city. If the boy is in the city, he will be caught if he goes out of the city! Zhang Yong instructed, and several brocade guards were ordered to do as they were told.

Zhang Yong looked at the blood-red sunset in the distance, and felt a little uneasy in his heart. The person who went to Suzhou to ask for help should have already arrived in Suzhou, and now he just hopes that tonight will be safe and sound, and tomorrow Gao Nianen will bring people over as soon as possible.

Behind the main hall of the prefect's yamen, all the clothes on Shen Ling's body were taken off, and there were many traces of torture on her chest.

No wonder Shen Jun stopped the autopsy in court, and wanted to accuse Zhao Xianzhong of mutilating Shilin, the dead Shen Ling, who was also wearing a Confucian shirt, and also had the identity of a prisoner.

Men have reached this point, and few can survive.

When he put on Shen Ling's clothes and returned to the lobby to reply, he replied honestly: "The deceased has whip marks everywhere on his chest, three ulcers on his back, and the roots of his lower body are cut off from the roots, leaving a ring-shaped wound ......."

Although when Shen Jun stopped the autopsy in the hall before, everyone in the hall thought that there was something inappropriate about Shen Ling's body, but they didn't expect it to be so inappropriate.

"Zhao Xianzhong, you!" Shen Licurao is Zai Sven, and he can't help but be angry at this moment.

The subordinate officials of the prefect's yamen originally wanted to cling to Zhao Xianzhong because of Li Gelao, but they also lost their minds at this moment. Is this prefect crazy? If the sons of the Shen family were ordinary people, the Shen family's eunuch family, he brutalized the children of the Shen family like this, and left the corpse as evidence, so stupidity would be the end of the prefect.

Zhao Xianzhong saw that everyone's eyes were strange, and hurriedly shouted injustice: "The official is wronged, it is really not the official who ordered it, it is really a mistake, I only asked someone to ask for a confession, and I did not order torture, it was the small official in the torture room who had a personal grudge with the Shen family, so he took the opportunity to do it......"
