Chapter 190: Clever Trick (Part II)
"What's going on!" Wei Qing asked.
"My brother was bitten to death by a tiger!" The man's eyes were full of tears: "I am a hunter near here, called Niu Er, brother Niu Da, yesterday my brother went into the mountain, only said to hit a few rabbits back, but did not return overnight, this morning my sister-in-law couldn't sit still, let me see, I went into the mountains to look for it, but saw my brother's body, it was obviously a tiger to bite!" ”
Although Wei Qing was also sad for Niu Er in his heart, on the other hand, he breathed a sigh of relief, after all, this case is not difficult.
"Ancestral General, you go and have an autopsy!" Wei Qing commanded.
Zu Ti agreed and was about to get up, but Niu Er still knelt on the ground and said: "General, the corpse is inexperienced, I saw that my brother's corpse was blurred with flesh and blood, and it was really sad to look at it, so I was cremated on the spot!" ”
Wei Qingyi frowned.
This thing is not right, absolutely wrong, how can there be a body cremated before it is seen, not to mention that this is of course his brother's fault, but people have families, and you cremated your brother's body yourself without even notifying your sister-in-law.
His mind was racing, and he comforted him: "Since that's the case, it's okay, you go down, and when you're done here in three or five days, I'll ask General Zuya to send someone to make a record for you, and you can register and make a record!" ”
Niu Erlian thanked him and went down to the court.
Zu Ti knew on the side that what Niu Er said was suspicious, as soon as Niu Er went out, he was about to speak to Wei Qing immediately, but Wei Qing stopped Zu Ti with his fingers, and then beckoned, called Zu Ti to his side, and whispered a few words beside Zu Ti.
Zu Ti nodded again and again, and hurriedly went down the hall.
There was a sound of footsteps outside the door, and the two messengers sent to find Zhang Chao and Zhou Sheng returned, one politely took Zhang Chao, and the other roped Zhou Sheng with iron chains.
As soon as Zhou Sheng entered the door, he shouted: "Wronged, I didn't kill anyone!" ”
Su San heard Zhou Sheng shouting, and shouted on the side: "You didn't kill anyone, why did the general specifically ask someone to lock you up, why didn't he ask Zhang Chao!" ”
The mute neighbor on the side had been kneeling for a while, and seeing that Wei Qing had been ignoring him, he had to raise his voice and ask, "General, can I get up first!" ”
Wei Qingzhi frowned.
He really has to blame himself for this, these three cases actually came together, where can there be no chaos, it seems that he is anxious to eat hot tofu, and this case still has to be decided one by one.
"Shut up!" Wei Qing shouted: "Wait for Ben Shuai to ask one by one!" He waved his hand and motioned for the messenger to pull the mute neighbor up and stand aside, and first cut off Su San's case.
"Zhang Chao, you're coming!" Wei Qing said.
Zhang Chao knew that he was just a witness, so he swaggered forward.
Wei Qing said to Zhang Chao: "The existing folk girl Su San, when it comes to the disappearance of her husband, Ben Shuai wants you to confront him, and you will tell you what happened that day!" ”
Zhang Chao nodded, starting from the time he got up early to prepare the boat, said that he left a section in the middle, and when he returned to the boat, Zhou Sheng had arrived, and the two waited together for a long time and still didn't see Zhao San, so Zhou Sheng asked Zhang Chao to go to Zhao San's house to ask.
"How do you ask!" Wei Qing interrupted Zhang Chao and said, "If you can remember what you said at that time?" And repeat what you said at that time word for word! ”
Zhang Chao smiled: "What can't I remember, it's just a sentence, I asked: Third lady, why didn't Third Brother Zhao come yet!" ”
Wei Qingyi frowned: "This is not right, your statement is different from Su San's statement!" ”
"I'm absolutely not mistaken!" Zhang Chao heard that Wei Qing doubted his statement, and couldn't help but blush, and hurriedly said: "I only said this sentence at the time, how can I remember it wrong!" ”
Wei Qing nodded, and asked Su San again: "What Zhang Chao said is true!" ”
Su San replied: "General, that's what I just said!" What I said is the same as what he said, but the general is misremembered! ”
Wei Qing looked at Su San and said with a smile: "You can speak, I only have three cases now, and I can't talk about every day!" With that, he slowly turned his face to Zhang Chao, the smile on his face disappeared, and his face was serious.
"Smack!" Wei Qingmeng slapped the shocked wood: "Zhang Chao, you kneel down for me, you kill people and oversell goods, you should be beheaded for the crime, you are guilty!" ”
Zhang Chao was shocked and shouted: "I'm not guilty, I didn't kill anyone, I was the one Zhou Sheng killed!" ”
"Phew!" Wei Qing said coldly: "If people don't know, unless you don't know it, you killed Zhao San, the evidence is ironclad, and it is useless to deny!" ”
"General, you, didn't you say that Zhou Sheng killed my husband?" Su San knelt below, seeing such a big change in Wei Qing, he couldn't adapt to it, and thought that the general had a stroke, so he hurriedly reminded him.
Wei Qing snorted: "When did I say that it was Zhou Sheng who killed him!" ”
Su San opened his mouth and stammered.
Wei Qing really didn't say it, he only said that he would use an iron cable to ask Zhou Sheng for him.
"I was wronged!" Zhou Sheng heard that things had taken a turn for the better on the side, and hurriedly opened his mouth.
"Shut up!" Wei Qing broke off drinking, and then looked at Zhang Chao: "Zhang Chao, let me ask you, why did you call 'Third Lady' instead of 'Zhao Sange' when you came to Zhao San's house, if you thought Zhao San was at home, would you call his wife to answer the door?" ”
There was a coax, and the audience in the hall exclaimed in unison.
Sure enough, Su San is Zhao San's wife, if Zhang Chao is in a hurry to call Zhao San out, why call Su San, this is obviously knowing that Zhao San is not at home.
Zhang Chao's face was pale, and he understood why Wei Qing repeatedly asked him to repeat the words of the day word for word, and deliberately said that what he described was different from what Su San said, and the purpose was to make him unable to change his words, so as not to excuse himself from being negligent and misremembering.
"Zhang Chao!" Wei Qing stood on the spot when he saw the rising tide, and shouted fiercely: "Are you a real move, or do you want me to punish you!" ”
With a thud, Zhang Chao knelt down.
"General, the little one is also forced to be helpless! The small family is so poor that they can't open the pot, so they have to take risks, please be gracious to the general! He kowtowed as he spoke, tears and sweat streaming down his face.
"Zhang Chao, it turned out to be you!" Su San heard that this was the case, he couldn't help it anymore, stood up and rushed straight at Zhang Chao, and was about to fight with Xi Chao, and the messenger on the side hurriedly stepped forward and pulled away.
"Put Zhang Chao in prison, take Su San down first, and let her rest!" Wei Qing ordered.
The officers pulled the two down.
The eyes of the onlookers looked at Zhou Sheng, and everyone admired and doubted Wei Qing in their hearts, admiring him naturally because he judged the case like a god, and the doubt was: Since he had long known that Zhang Chao was the real murderer, why did he let the messenger lock Zhou Sheng.
Wei Qing beckoned to Zhou Sheng.
Zhou Sheng also approached with a puzzled face, and the chains around his neck collided slightly, making a tinkling sound.
"Zhou Sheng, there are two reasons why this official locked you today!" Wei Qing said: "First, in order to appease Zhang Chao's heart, half a month has passed, and Zhao San's body has long been drifting away, if he doesn't admit it, the official can't convict him, so the official deliberately made him mistakenly think that the official judged the wrong case and decided that you are the murderer!" ”
Zhou Chang let out a sigh of relief and raised his hand: "In that case, please take this chain away with your grace!" ”
"Wait!" Wei Qing's tone became stern: "I said, there are two reasons, the second reason, this official wants to ask you a crime of punishing your heart, since you are friends with Zhao San, you were also present when Zhao San disappeared, why did you let it go after that, ignore it, and let Su San a weak woman be lonely for half a month, this is a fluke The Han army has recovered Huainan, if Huainan is not recovered, what will Su San's life be like after that, Zhao San is looking at you in the spirit of heaven, you can feel ashamed, the lock of the official you come, This second reason is the most important reason! ”
Zhou Sheng listened to Wei Qing's words, his face changed from red to blue, from green to white, and the sweat drops of beans poured out, and his head hung down: "The adult is right, the villain was confused for a while, he didn't think of this, it's really damn, the adult shouldn't remove the villain's chain, on the contrary, the villain thinks that the villain should be locked on a wooden stake and shown to the public for three days!" ”
Wei Qing's face finally showed a smile: "This is not necessary, what I just said is the theory of punishing the heart, but the law only punishes inappropriate words and deeds, not the heart, you still have a chance to correct your mistakes now, Su San is now lonely, if you have a heart, help him more!" With that, he motioned to the messenger to go to Zhou Sheng's chain.
Zhou Sheng knelt down, kowtowed deeply to Wei Qing, then stood up and hurriedly went down to the hall.
Wei Qing knew that Zhou Sheng was going to comfort Su San, and he was very happy in his heart.
He was about to turn his head to try the dumb case again, but he heard the noise in front of the door, only to see Zu Ti and the messenger walking back with Niu Er chained.
Zu Ti stood in front of the hall and presented a short spear with blood to Wei Qing: "General Zunwei ordered that the last general went to Niu Er's house to search and found this!" ”
Wei Qing looked at Niu Er and sneered: "Niu Er, you can confess!" ”
Niu Er's face was unconvinced, he snorted, and replied: "The adult said that it was three or five days before he came, and the little front foot just left, and you sent someone to search the small house on the back foot, thinking that the little one killed my brother, but unfortunately the adult has no evidence!" ”
"Here's the proof!" Zu Ti raised a short spear at Niu Eryi: "Do you think that if we hide this spear under the bed, we won't be able to turn it over?" ”
Niu Er smiled: "What kind of evidence is this, I am an Orion, not only there is blood on my short spear, but there is blood on my knife and my bow and arrow, not only I am like this here, but every Orion is like this, how can this be used as evidence of my murder!" ”
Zu Ti was stunned, he didn't expect that he had caught this murderer, and he was still quibbling, but what Niu Er said was reasonable. Although Zu Li knew that he must have killed his brother, if his words could not be overturned, he really could not be convicted.
Niu Er's eyes looked at Wei Qing, his eyes were full of pride, and even a little provocative.
