Chapter 31: The more you help, the more you help
This sudden situation not only caught Zhao Junsheng off guard, but also made the people outside the lobby suddenly discuss, just now Zhao Junsheng clearly said that Yao Desheng's two entourages knew the inside story, but after these two people went to the court, they insisted that there was no such thing at all, there must be a problem here, and the fool could see it.
Wan Dugui was also stunned for a while, Liang Peng clearly told him that the two entourages did admit that Yao Desheng had planned this matter, and the two of them were the executors, but now they suddenly changed their words.
Wan Dugui's face became serious, he looked at Zhao Junsheng and asked, "Lawyer, these two people said that Yao Desheng did not design to frame Mulan at all, what else do you have to say now?" β
A cold sweat broke out on Zhao Junsheng's forehead, his brain was running at high speed, and he said in a hurry: "General, the two of them are the executors of Yao Desheng's framing of Mulan, of course they will not admit it easily, otherwise the two of them will have to eat a lawsuit, they are not comparable to Tian Lang, Tian Lang's identity has been confirmed, and it is useless to quibble, but these two are different!" β
In ancient times, it was not comparable to the era of civilized law enforcement in later generations, and in the era of civilized law enforcement, torture could not be extorted, and as long as there was suspicion in this era, the government could use punishment at any time during interrogation!
Wan Du thought about it, and shouted in shock: "Come on, be punished!" Thirty boards per person! β
"Yes, General!"
Several officials came out with water and fire sticks, pressed Yao Si and Yao Ping on the ground and started beating, beating one stick after another until they were strong, without releasing any water, and they were beaten until they cried and cried for their mother.
After the thirty boards were played, the two of them were already beaten with open skin and flesh, their flesh and blood were blurred, and they had no strength at all in pain.
Wan Du Gui asked, "Can you two admit that Yao Desheng designed to frame Mulan?" And the two of you are the executors? β
Yao Si said weakly: "General, we really didn't lie, there is no such thing!" β
Wan Dugui looked at Yao Ping again, and found that Yao Ping's eyes flickered, and his face was afraid, he immediately shouted: "Yao Ping, you have to think clearly before you say it, if you don't tell the truth again, the next step is just to hit the board, the tiger chair and the stick are on the same page, and it is possible to be killed on the spot!" β
Yao Ping was really scared and trembled, and hurriedly said: "Don't fight, I said, I said, it was indeed my lord who designed to frame Mulan, it was my lord who invited Tian Lang to a banquet, pretending to inadvertently reveal the news that Mulan was going to sell horses, and asked the villain to invite Tian Lang's entourage Tian Qi to eat wine, and after the villain got Tian Qi drunk, he learned from him that Tian Lang and Hua Mulan agreed to trade in the Xie family's pine forest, and then Yao Ping sent the whistleblower letter written by the lord in advance to the Taishou Mansion, and that's how it happened! β
How do you know that Yao Sisi scolded: "Yao Ping, you are talking nonsense, why do you want to frame the master, the master is dead, why do you want to frame him like this?" General, there is no such thing at all, this is all deliberately made up by Yao Ping in order to avoid severe punishment, please check it out! β
This situation brought the trial of the case to an impasse, Yao Ping and Yao Si had already been beaten with 30 boards just now, and if they continued to fight, they were afraid that they would be killed, and they could not be punished again.
After weighing it, Wan Dugui shouted: "In view of the fact that the case has taken a major turn and the government needs to re-investigate and collect evidence, General Ben has decided to retry in three days, escort each prisoner back to the prison, strictly guard them, and retire!" β
Several prisoners were taken back to the prison one by one, and the onlookers also dispersed in the discussion.
Wandu beckoned to Liang Peng, Zhao Ting, and Zhao Junsheng, and the three of them stepped forward.
"Liang Peng, didn't you say that this case is a nail in the coffin, an iron case? Now that the case has taken such a big turn, how do you explain it to General Ben? Wan Dugui looked at Liang Peng and asked.
Liang Peng hurriedly glanced at Zhao Junsheng and motioned for him to hurry up and speak to relieve him.
Zhao Junsheng had no choice but to step forward and arch his hand: "General, Xiaosheng was eating in the wine shop that day, and I did hear Yao Si and Yao Ping saying that Yao Desheng designed to frame Mulan, and Xiaosheng dared to guarantee this matter with the head of the item, and there will never be a fake!" β
Wan Dugui said coldly: "Then why did Yao Si retract his confession?" also accused Yao Ping of being beaten into a trick? β
Zhao Junsheng thought for a while and said: "Yesterday, when Xiao Sheng and Zhao Bairen took Yao Si and Yao Ping to the prison, they also swore to Xiao Sheng that they would tell the truth when they passed the hall, but today they suddenly retorted, Xiao Sheng thought that something must have happened in the middle!" By the way, General Zhao Bairen, did anyone go to the prison last night to see Yao Si and Yao Ping? β
"ThisΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β· I'm not in prison all the time, I have to ask the cell boss! Zhao Ting said embarrassedly, if someone really saw Yao Si and Yao Ping, making the two of them turn against each other, his responsibility can be big or small.
Wandu Gui shouted: "Don't go yet!" β
"Yes, yes, my subordinates will go!"
"General, Xiaosheng will go too!" Zhao Junsheng said to Wandu Gui.
Wan Dugui waved his hand: "Go, go and come back quickly!" β
"Yes!"
Zhao Junsheng and Zhao Ting hurried to the prison, and Zhao Ting immediately called the old man to drink and asked: "Cell leader, who went into the prison last night and saw Yao Si and Yao Ping?" β
The cell leader's eyes flickered a few times, and he shook his head and said, "No one has ever been in the prison, why do the hundred people ask like this?" β
The cell boss hid from Zhao Ting, but not from Zhao Junsheng, he asked: "Cell boss, you have to think clearly before answering, this case is related to dozens of lives, if you commit perjury, or deliberately hide it for someone, once it is found out, this is not just a loss of official dismissal, but a loss of head!" β
After Zhao Junsheng finished speaking, he secretly pulled Zhao Ting's clothes, Zhao Ting noticed it, and immediately understood what he meant, and immediately pulled out his waist knife to cooperate with the intimidation cell leader: "You'd better tell me the truth, otherwise Lao Tzu's knife won't be polite to you!" β
As soon as Xueliang's steel knife was pulled out, the cell leader immediately confessed, and fell to his knees with a plop: "Don't don't, don't kill me, someone did come to see those two last night, rightΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β· It is Chang Wei, the son of the county order! β
"Chang Wei?" Zhao Ting was puzzled when he heard this, and turned his head to look at Zhao Junsheng.
Zhao Junsheng clenched his fists, gritted his teeth and said with a cold face: "I didn't expect him to be making trouble!" Big brother, let's go and report this news to the general! β
Zhao Ting nodded and warned the cell leader: "You have heard me clearly, from now on, no one is allowed to enter the prison to visit without my order, if I find out that you are sloppy with me, I will make you blood splash on the spot!" β
"Yes, yes, don't dare, the villain doesn't dare anymore!" The cell boss was scared.
Zhao Ting and Zhao Junsheng left the prison and soon returned to the Taishou Mansion to see Wan Dugui and explain the situation, Wan Dugui listened and said: "So Yao Si and Yao Ping were threatened before they turned back, why did Chang Wei do this?" β
Zhao Junsheng had to stand up and say: "General, Chang Wei has some holidays with Mulan and Xiaosheng, he must have heard the news, so he wants to use this matter to put Mulan to death, the facts of this case are already very clear, Hua Mulan and the burghers of Huajiabao are innocent, and please ask the general to be merciful and order to release Mulan and the burghers of Huajiabao!" β
Wan Dugui looked at Zhao Junsheng and said coldly: "It would be nice if things were so simple, the cell boss can only prove that Chang Wei has seen Yao Ping and Yao Si, who knows what they said between them?" Unless Yao Ping and Yao Si personally identified it as constant coercion, but Yao Si obviously wouldn't say that Yao Ping was tortured and changed his mouth, and Yao Si thought that it was caused by torture to extract a confession. β
At this time, the main Bo said: "The general's concerns are not unreasonable, in the opinion of his subordinates, if this case wants to continue, it is necessary to find new evidence or witnesses, otherwise it will be impossible to overturn the case for Mulan!" β
At this time, Wan Yutong hurriedly walked into the lobby and said, "Grandpa, since Mulan Gongzi was framed, why should Daddy hesitate, what concerns does Daddy have about not letting people go?" My daughter asked Grandpa to open up the net and let go of Mulan Gongzi and the people of Huajiabao! β
Wan Dugui saw Wan Yutong's anxious look, he didn't understand that his daughter's concern for Hua Mulan was a little excessive, and suddenly his whole face changed, and he shouted: "Bastard, this case is related to the implementation of court decrees and laws, how can you act hastily?" You are a girl who doesn't want to stay in the backyard to study, so why do you come here to join in the fun? Give me back! β
"No, my daughter won't go back, unless Grandpa orders to release Mulan Gongzi and the people from Huajiabao!" Wan Yutong knelt on it and cried stubbornly.
Wan Du Gui was so angry that his face turned green, and he said angrily: "Bold! You said you put it away? I just didn't let go, Hua Mulan ignored the ban of the imperial court and sold horses to merchants in the Southern Dynasty without permission, and she should be killed according to the law! At noon tomorrow, Hua Mulan, Tian Lang and Hua Jiabao will be pulled to the entrance of the vegetable market and beheaded! Liang Peng, you go to supervise and behead! β
Zhao Junsheng was so anxious that he jumped to his feet, and shouted in his heart Wan Yutong, Wan Yutong, what kind of trouble did you come out to make at the critical moment, you are helping more and more!
