Chapter 244: Huairen's first verdict

The old woman who complained in the hall was still crying dizzily, and when she heard the "mighty" voice of the ascending hall, she was confused by this sudden change. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

Waiting for a young woman next to her to whisper a few words in her ear, she sobbed and said: "Back to the adult, the folk woman Zhang Lushi, who sued Ke Xiaochuan, who sold wontons in the west of the city, sneaked into my son Zhang Gong's house early this morning and killed him inhumanely. ”

Lawyer Zhang? Zhang Gong'an? This name is also absolutely amazing, Yang Huairen said in his heart, if he didn't know very well that he was now in the Great Song Dynasty, maybe he really thought that he was back in the modern era.

The young woman in her thirties next to the old woman, although she looked plainly dressed, did not apply powder, and met people with no face, but Yang Huairen always felt that her speech and demeanor did not look like a folk girl from an ordinary family.

The woman helped, adding: "The woman Zhang Yao is the daughter-in-law of the Zhang family, and this morning I went to the official room of the people's family to deliver breakfast, and when I opened the door, I saw Ke Xiaochuan standing next to the corpse of my official......

"Wait!"

In addition to the fact that this pharmacist's name inherited his family's usual fashionable features, Yang Huairen seemed to hear something wrong, "You said you saw Ke Xiaochuan standing next to the corpse of your family's official?" ”

Zhang Yao nodded.

"Then how did you know that your official was dead?"

Zhang Yao was stunned for a moment, then calmed down, and hurriedly defended: "At that time, the folk woman didn't know, but she saw the official lying on the ground, surrounded by a pool of blood, and she was so frightened that she just shouted loudly. ”

"Oh...... Well, then you go on. ”

Yang Huairen felt that this was a bit suspicious, but it didn't mean anything big, an ordinary woman may still be in the horror of her husband being killed, and it is understandable that her words are a little confused and not rigorous.

Zhang Yao continued: "My family official was killed by this fight, and the servants in the family naturally wanted to take him down, and when this guy was tied, he was escorted to the Yamen to report to the official." ”

"Wait, since you are Zhang Gong'an's daughter-in-law, why don't you sleep in the same room with him?"

Zhang Yao's face suddenly had some unspeakable color, and she replied in a low voice: "My family official likes to drink alone until late at night, so he doesn't go back to the back house every day to sleep, but lives in the study behind the middle hall in the front yard. ”

Yang Huairen looked at the old woman and several young women beside her, and asked again: "So who are these women who accompany Zhang Lu's family in the hall?" ”

"These people are all concubines of officials, including the main room of the people's daughters, a total of six people."

I'll go, this Zhang Gong'an is very blessed, married six daughters-in-law, and even slept in the study by himself...... Yang Huairen felt that this was very suspicious, this Zhang Gong'an was not Zhang's father-in-law, guarding his six daughters-in-law and sleeping in the study by himself, could there be any hidden disease?

"Study, study, study......"

Yang Huairen muttered the word study, and felt that there was something wrong here, and the mustachioed master behind him came over with a smile and said: "Lord Envoy, this Zhang Gong'an is actually a butcher who sells pork for a living in our Chengxi City of Qizhou. ”

"Oh, I see."

Although he said this, Yang Huairen still felt that there was a problem here, and then asked Zhang Yao: "You tell me clearly the exact time from the time you found out that Zhang Gong'an was killed to the time when you escorted the suspect to the police officer." ”

"Hmm...... When the women went to the official's room in the morning to deliver breakfast, it was probably just after midnight, and the escort to the official was probably just after noon. ”

Yang Huairen calculated according to the ancient hours, Zhang Yao found that when Ke Xiaochuan was in Zhang Gong'an's room, it was about nine o'clock in the morning, and it was more than eleven o'clock when he was escorted to Qizhou Yamen, which was two hours, that is, a time difference of a whole hour.

"Your family lives outside the city?"

"My family lives in the city, and there is a mansion in the West Market."

The Yamen of Qizhou City in the West City is not far away, and if you walk, it will take twenty minutes at most, so what are they doing in more than an hour?

Yang Huairen looked up again and looked at Ke Xiaochuan's blue nose and swollen face, and he understood. Ke Xiaochuan was lynched by the Zhang family, and he could have escaped with his kung fu, but he didn't do it, which shows that he was innocent.

"Zhang Yao's family, this official asks you again, have you ever seen Ke Xiaochuan kill your family official?"

"This ......"

Zhang Yao secretly looked up at his mother-in-law, then gritted his teeth and nodded.

"Bold!"

Yang Huairen grabbed the shocked wood and slapped it heavily on several cases, and asked sharply: "Do you know what the crime of deceiving the official is in the court?" Come on, ...... this gossip woman."

Yang Huairen's face changed suddenly, in fact, he didn't really want to do anything to Zhang Yao's family, he just wanted to scare and scare her, so that she could tell the truth, he never thought that Zhang Lu's family had changed to a big official to try the case, but he wanted to torture her daughter-in-law, crying and hugging her daughter-in-law and shouting:

"There is no heavenly reason, my son died tragically, and the adults not only did not condemn people, but they embarrassed our women everywhere, what is the reason? If you want to beat the old woman, don't beat the old woman's daughter-in-law, the old woman will go down and walk this Huangquan Road with my son.

When they arrived at the Yama Palace, the king of Yama asked how the old woman died, and the old woman pushed it on the adult! ”

Zhang Lu's said that, and the six daughters-in-law, including Zhang Yao's, all gathered around her, hugged each other and cried.

The people outside the hall also clamored, most of them were dissatisfied with Yang Huairen, the eldest man, and others first asked the suspect in the trial, why did he catch the daughter-in-law of the deceased and ask endlessly?

Xie Lao'er, the eldest man, is usually confused enough, but the one sitting in the hall seems to be too young, and even Xie Lao'er, the confused Zhizhou, is not as good.

"Silence!"

Yang Huairen said righteously: "This old mother, don't worry, your son's case, this official will definitely give you an explanation, but this official will never allow anyone to wrongfully give an innocent person's life in vain!" ”

He then turned to ask Zhang Yao, "You just said that you saw the gangsters committing murder, which means that your family official was still alive at that time?"

Since you called the servants and maids to catch the villain, why didn't you call someone to invite Lang Zhong to heal your family officials first? Did you deliberately watch him die? ”

"This ......"

Zhang Yaoshi was speechless when asked, and Yang Huairen continued: "When I asked you earlier, you said that you opened the door of your official's study this morning and saw Ke Xiaochuan standing next to the body of your official.

Or did you have some intention to deliberately deceive the official? What the hell is the truth, you are truthful! ”
