Chapter 546: The Mirror Hangs High (3)
If he didn't know that there was a vassal king involved, and the "Japanese robbers" who went ashore to loot were real Japanese robbers, Zhao Xianzhong would not admit his guilt so happily, and he would also push the fault on Yan Baowen's head, and he would only bear the fault of "negligence", but since the vassal king was involved, he was also afraid.
With Jinyiwei here, nothing can be hidden, if you don't explain it clearly, wait for Jinyiwei to talk about himself and the vassal king, then it will not be a future life, and it will not be a child or grandgrandchild.
The people in the hall were still shocked by the previous "corrupt punishment", and Zhao Xianzhong had already talked about the dispute between the two families of Shen He. He didn't know the past of the Yan family and the Shen family, so he naturally regarded Yan Baowen's matter against the Shen family as being instructed by the He family, and after the third son of the Shen family was imprisoned, the second master He did have dealings with Yan Baowen, and the apparent reason at that time was to intercede for his nephew Shen Jun, which was also the reason why Shen Jun had the lightest injuries among the three sons of the Shen family.
"He Erwolf's ambition and want to annex the Shen family's property, Fang bribed and instructed the scholar to wash ink and the scoundrel Zheng Liu to frame the third son of the Shen family; Later, He Er pretended to intercede for Shen Jun and bribed Yan Baowen, in order to make the case an iron case, and also used this to accuse the Shen family. The sinner has evidence to prove that the washing of ink, Zheng Liu's appearance and their subsequent death are related to He Er! Zhao Xianzhong has been an official for many years, and he knows that he has reached a critical point at this time, so he only grabbed the last straw, and without waiting for Wang Shouren to open his mouth for interrogation, he confessed the evidence he had: "Zheng Liu was not an ordinary drunk and drowned, but fell into the water after being tied up!" Washing ink is not because of the head of the main family, guilt drank rat poison and committed suicide, there are two corpses as evidence, both of them are He Er's instructions to kill people, and it is He Er's nephew He Mian! ”
In the end, he was cowardly, even if he pushed the boat to frame the Shen family, Zhao Xianzhong also made two preparations, leaving not only Shen Ling's corpse, but also the corpse of Zheng Liu, who "drowned" and "guilty suicide".
The bodies of the two were not in the yamen, but in a foreign house of Zhao Xianzhong. It is not difficult for the dignified prefect to order his subordinates to arrange a foreign house. If he is really confused, he can't do the position of prefect, and some things are willing to be fooled by his subordinates, it is because there are benefits, and he doesn't believe anyone when it is critical.
It was this caution that saved Zhao Xianzhong, and Zhao Xianzhong bowed his head to the ground and was very happy.
In the hall, Master Xuezheng had a solemn face, and he no longer looked at He's mother and son.
He Wuye was young in the end, the blood on his face had faded, and his body trembled involuntarily. Even if he knew that in the Shen family's case, his brother really did not have good intentions and contributed to the trouble, but he didn't expect him to be able to do this. The He family's actions were not "falling into the ground" for the Shen family, but the mastermind behind the Shen family's case. That's two lives, and it's none other than the nephew of the He family.
Mrs. He's face was full of anger, her eyes were staring at Wang Xianzhong, her body was trembling, although she didn't speak, but the meaning was written on her face, looking at that, she couldn't wait to ask Wang Xianzhong why he framed his son.
The people who had listened to Zhao Xianzhong's words and doubted Second Master He before, seeing the old man's reaction like this, couldn't help but hesitate a little. Zhao Xianzhong, in order to reduce the charge of being robbed by Yi Jiang before, was able to frame the Shen family when he knew that it was inappropriate, and now he can naturally push the matter of "killing people and destroying mouths" on the head of the second master He in order to push off the crime of murder.
Wang Shouren ordered someone to bring the suspect to congratulate him.
He Mian did not admit his guilt at first, but Zhao Xianzhong had already prepared, so he was naturally well prepared, and He Mian testified that he was buying rat poison in a neighboring county; He Mian's testimony of the old bustard in the brothel where Zheng Liu was arranged, drunk, and prostitute, as well as the testimony of witnesses who He Mian went in and out of Ximo's house before Ximo's "suicide". There are also final conclusions after examining the ink washing and Zheng Liu's body, which are all evidence.
He Mian looked tough, but he had been detained for more than half a month before, and he heard the news a few times. However, it was all suspected before, and there was no empirical evidence, but now that the evidence is there, he can already be convicted without him nodding and admitting his guilt.
is different from the third son of the Shen family, He Mian is just an orphan of the He family's side branch, running errands and helping by He Er's side when he is a child, and he has no merit in his reputation.
Just when Wang Shouren stopped the stick and was about to ask He Mian about the mastermind behind the scenes, He Mian struggled to kneel on the ground: "The villain confessed, it was the villain who killed Ximo and Zheng Liu, and it was also the villain who arranged for the two to falsely accuse Shen Jun, Shen Qi, and Shen Ling!" ”
Shen Li squinted, and Shen Quan was in the hall, with anger on his face.
Shen Rui couldn't help but peek at He's mother and son, Fifth Master He was shocked, but Old Lady He looked at He Mian with compassion.
An inconspicuous member of the He clan said that he was the mastermind of calculating the first surname of Songjiang, which of such ridiculous testimonies fooled him? It's ridiculous.
Wang Shouren was sarcastic, and just about to ask, there was a sudden change in the hall.
He Mian slammed into the pillar of the hall.
By the time everyone reacted, He Mian had already slid to the ground like noodles, and his head was red and white.
Wang Shouren's face was blue, and he hurriedly called for a check.
When he looked closer, He Mian twitched twice and swallowed.
Everyone in the hall was dumbfounded, and no one expected such a result. He Mian not only confessed to the crime of "killing people and killing people", but also confessed to the crime of falsely accusing the Shen family by the two masters. Is this the truth? Or is it for the sake of loyalty and protection for the second master He?
"Take Nagamori!" Wang Shouren gritted his teeth and said.
He Er Ye has a meritorious reputation, and he was only detained before, not tortured. Now that he has been brought to the hall, his face is a little haggard, and his beard has grown a lot, but he is not in a hurry, and he still has a little calmness.
Before giving a salute to the officials in the hall, Second Master He saw He Mian's corpse, his face was full of grief, he took two steps forward, with a little disbelief, and said suspiciously: "Brother Mian'er? ”
Everyone in the hall was looking at Second Master He, but they couldn't see that his expression was fake.
The second master of He Mian had already seen the blood stains on He Mian's body, and knew that he had been beaten with a stick, and looked at everyone in the hall with grief and indignation on his face.
The key person He Mian is dead, and the death of Ximo and Zheng Liu can't push down the second master He, so Wang Shouren asked about the second master He bribing Yan Baowen.
Originally, everyone thought that Second Master He would deny it, after all, now the biggest crime has fallen on his head, and then the motive for bribing Yan Baowen is to worry about his nephew Shen Jun, so that the suspicion can be completely cleared. Even if the Shen family had any doubts, in the absence of evidence, they would not force Qin Cha to torture a person in front of the Xuezheng people.
I don't want Second Master He to listen to Wang Shouren's inquiry, with a little shame on his face, and said after a while: "The student is ashamed, seeing that Zhao Futai has the intention of exonerating the Shen family, he became greedy, and used the excuse of interceding for his nephew Shen Jun to inquire about the progress of the Shen family's lawsuit, and wanted to take the opportunity to get one or two benefits." Shame on students! ”
confessed, confessed in court!
Many people in the hall were in an uproar, but they didn't expect that the second master He, who had always been kind, was really not wronged. Everyone in Shen Jiatang's upper and lower halls looked at Second Master He's eyes, but they all had a chill.
Nominally, Second Master He pleaded guilty, but what did he actually confess? admits that he has a "bad heart" towards the Shen family, but if he has a "bad heart" and no bad deeds, how can he convict the second master?
Second Master He is not admitting his guilt, but exonerating himself.
"Negligent." Shen Rui looked at He Mian's corpse and said softly.
Because He Mian is an orphan, he has no parents, no wife and children, and there is nothing to be coerced by the He family, so the Shen family did not take precautions before, and no one thought that he would take the blame on behalf of the second master He. Sometimes, however, it is not necessary to put the lives of relatives in danger, and kindness can also force people to make choices.
He Mian was raised by the He family's sect, and he could be regarded as a confidant by the second master of He, so he was naturally already raised. Such a simple and tyrannical martial artist is the most foolish, and a few good words can make him die, not to mention the real nurturing grace.
Shen Quan gritted his teeth, brought a little bit of fire, and said, "In the end, it is the He family!" ”
In order to prevent the He family from colluding in confessions, the Yamen has not allowed the He family to explore the second master He and He Mian. But the He family is the head snake in Songjiang in the end, and it is not difficult to buy one or two people to pass the word in.
Before Wang Shouren could speak, Master Xuezheng was already frowning and said, "Since you are greedy, did you instruct He Mian to instigate the washing of ink and Zheng Liu's false accusations against the Shen family?" Did he instruct He Mian to kill people and kill people? ”
Second Master He raised his head suddenly, with a look of surprise: "Instructed He Mian to instigate the washing of ink and Zheng Liu's false accusation of the Shen family?" Instructed He Mian to kill people and kill people? My lord, what the hell is going on? Shen Jiatong's case, wasn't Zhao Futai instigated others to do it in order to get rid of the crime? What's the matter with students? How is it related to He Mian? ”
Seeing the tragic situation of the three sons of the Shen family, Lord Xuezheng had a preconceived idea, and he had already regarded the second master of He as a vicious and cunning person. Now that Second Master He is so innocent, in his eyes, he is a deep city and a show.
There are nerds who don't know the world, and there are also people like Xuezheng who are well-read and well-versed in criminal names. He Mian pleaded guilty, Second Master He seems to be innocent and can call him innocent, but people are not dead wood, and they are afraid of death. It seems that Second Master He is innocent, but He Mian takes the initiative to ask for death to prove his innocence.
Master Xuezheng sneered: "He Mian has already confessed, Ximo and Zheng Liu were killed by him in order to kill him, and he also admitted the crime of instructing the two to frame the Shen family!" ”
Second Master He turned white, looked back at He Mian's corpse, and his face was full of disbelief: "Impossible!" Ximo and Zheng Liu were not arranged by Zhao Futai to Yan Baowen, how could they be He Mian? ”
Zhao Xianzhong, who was watching the reaction of Master He Er, was a little lucky, thinking about whether there was a chance to escape life, but he didn't expect to go back to his head, almost vomited a mouthful of old blood, and hurriedly shouted: "He Er, you spew blood!" Obviously, you secretly coveted the Shen family's property, and you couldn't win it after several attempts, so you took advantage of the robbery in Songjiang to frame the Shen family, what does it matter to me? Don't think that as soon as He Mian dies, you will escape, it's not so easy! You arranged for He Mian to go to the neighboring county, and the money He Mian spent on going to the brothel was given by you, who doesn't know that He Mian is your henchman and lackey, do you want to say that you are innocent and don't know He Mian's actions, and everyone else is a fool? ”
