Chapter V: The Public Court
"Wei ~~ Wu ~~!"
Under the plaque hanging high by the mirror, there is a tightly seamed blue brick floor, and the soapy clothes on both sides are motionless like nails, and the wind and fire stick in his hand suddenly shows the momentum of Xuanwei on the ground.
When Liang Zheng walked into the county hall, he saw such a scene.
To be honest, he has seen this kind of scene a lot on TV, but until now he is immersed in the scene, the solemnity and majesty are almost overwhelming.
He couldn't help but glance at the corpse wrapped in a broken mat in front of the hall, revealing only a pair of muddy and rotten feet, and the person kneeling next to the corpse who was in a long figure and crying heartbreakingly, unkempt and ragged, saw himself, and a pair of cloudy eyes were bloodshot.
"You, you wicked young man! Give back my father's life~! He shouted loudly, and rushed up desperately to bite it, but was fortunately stopped by the officials.
Liang Zheng frowned.
There is no doubt that this person himself does not know, and everyone has no grievances, why did he insist that he had killed his father by medicine?
Is this another "welfare" given to him by his "previous life"?
It's a pity that Su Qinghe went south to Guangzhou to do business, otherwise if he was there, he might be able to ask why, but now......
Just thinking about it, there was a loud "pop" in the hall, but it turned out that Wu Dalie had already sat under the big plaque hanging in the mirror, staring at Liang Zheng with a pair of eyes that hated iron and steel.
"Uncle Shi...... Oh no, Takeshi-sama. Liang Zheng hurriedly stepped forward to salute, hesitated, and was about to kneel, but heard Wu Dalie say:
"You are a student, you have a meritorious reputation, and now that the case is not clear, you can see the official without kneeling."
As he spoke, he motioned for Liang Zheng to stand aside, and at the same time refocused his gaze on the victim in front of the hall, and picked up the startling wood and "snapped" again:
"Who is kneeling in the hall? If there is any grievance, don't come quickly. ”
"Back to my lord." The victim cried a handful of snot and tears, "Liu Erwa, a grass farmer, was originally a farmer in Liujia Village, and my sister, and my father, our father and daughter depended on each other. On that day, we heard that a porridge factory had opened in Liangfu outside the city, and we could eat for free, and our father and daughter happily went to line up to receive porridge, who knows...... Who knows......"
"Who knows?" Wu Dalie asked.
"Who knows that Liang Gongzi, for some reason, he fell in love with my sister, and dragged people away." Liu Erwa said again, "My father and I begged bitterly, so he gave up." But who would have thought ...... He was going to poison us so that he could snatch my sister away! ”
When Liang Zheng heard what he said as if it was true, he was immediately shocked and angry, and rushed out with an arrow step: "My lord, this person is untrustworthy, although I was in the porridge shop yesterday, I have never seen this person!" ”
As soon as he stepped forward, Liu Erwa also took a step forward and cried: "Why not, then I will pull you and beg hard, and I will take a slap in the face of you." ”
As he spoke, he pulled up his clothes, and sure enough, there was a purple mark kicked out of a shoe print on his skinny body.
This time I couldn't help but make Liang Zheng so angry that he almost kicked it without holding back, thinking that this was a public court, so he forcibly endured it, and said: "My lord, I was not present at the time, everyone in the porridge shop was watching, and the adults will know about this matter as soon as they ask." ”
"This official handles the case, naturally there is a charter, if you don't ask, you will step aside first, and you are not allowed to intervene!" Wu Dalie glared at Liang Zheng fiercely, and called a catcher to go to the outskirts of the city to inquire.
It's just that I thought that Liang Zheng was bullying men and women in plain life, and he molested blind girls on the street a few days ago, which stunned her, and now when I hear about this thing, I already believe it in my heart, but it is also half cold.
After a while, he thought: "Brother Yuanzhi entrusted his son to me, but unfortunately he was too busy and lacked discipline for him, so that he developed his lawless temperament, and now he actually kills people for women, this is ...... How can this be for me? After a while, he thought: "I sent Liu Zhutou to let you escape quickly, but you still have to run to the court with a dead face, I don't know that people's lives are at stake, uncle, can't I protect you?" ”
There is no place to think about it. had to slap Liu Erwa at the shocked wood: "The Liang Gongzi you said, but this one in the hall?" ”
"Exactly."
“………… Okay, you go on. ”
"At that time, we didn't know what he was thinking, and when we saw that he left without saying anything, we didn't mention it. This morning, my father's old cold leg was offended, so I went to the porridge shop to get the porridge, but the boy who made the porridge refused, saying that I could take two portions by myself, and we quarreled a few words, and he came to the room to bring me two bowls of porridge. After I went back, I fed my father porridge first, but after my father drank half a bowl, he suddenly had abdominal pain and cold sweat! Scared, my sister and I were cold in our hands and feet, and we were about to go to Langzhong for free treatment behind my father's back, but my father suddenly yelled three times, foaming at the mouth, and went! ”
When Liu Erwa said this, she seemed to be sad, turned around and lay on the corpse and cried bitterly.
When Liang Zheng heard this, he couldn't help but step forward again and said, "My lord! I didn't go out early in the morning today, and Liu Zhutou still found me at home just now. ”
"You're a thief and run home!" Liu Erwa also jumped up immediately.
"You...... My little servant can testify to this. ”
"Your little boy testifying? Your house slaves are naturally turning to you. ”
……
Seeing that the two were about to quarrel again, Wu Dalie hurriedly ordered the servants to pull the two sides apart, scratched his ears and cheeks and thought for a long time, and asked Liu Erwa:
"You said that your father had abdominal pain after drinking porridge, but is there any evidence?"
"Yes." Liu Erwa wiped a handful of tears and handed out a broken crockpot, "This is the share I received myself, and the half bowl of porridge that my father drank is still in my sister's hand." ”
Wu Dalie saw that they even had physical evidence, and this time he believed a little more, glared at Liang Zheng angrily and hatefully, and beckoned a catcher to get the physical evidence. While summoning the workman, he used a silver needle to probe the crockpot, and it was really black.
"It's arsenic!"
He couldn't help but gasp.
Not long after, the arrester who had gone to verify before brought back a few victims and replied to Wu Dalie: "My lord, I have already inquired on the outskirts of the city, and these people all claim that they did see Liang Gongzi making porridge in the porridge shop yesterday, and they quarreled with this Liu Erwa's family. ”
As soon as the words fell, the victims also shouted after you:
"Not bad. At first, we thought that this Liang Gongzi was kind enough to send porridge, but when he saw Liu Erjia's sister, he couldn't pull and pull. ”
"The girl tried her best to hide, but he just wouldn't let go."
"Liu Erwa went up to pull him, and he kicked him."
……
For a while, the word of the crowd was clear-sighted.
However, when Liang Zheng heard this, he suddenly calmed down.
Since these people have even prepared their witnesses, it seems that they have been planning for a long time...... Then don't think about it, the "sister" who doesn't know where to start will definitely appear with a bowl of arsenic.
This is definitely a frame-up, but why did he do it? This Liu Erwa has never seen it herself, so there is no reason to frame herself so deliberately.
But now is no longer the time to pursue the motives......
From Wu Dalie's increasingly cold eyes looking at him, he could see that the other party had already believed eighty percent.
But it's no wonder......
At this point, even he himself has to wonder if the yesterday in his memory is real.
In other words, it is now a lifeless dead end.
So what to do?
Liang Zheng's mind was racing, and he began to secretly think of a way to crack it.
※※※
After another moment, the catcher who had gone to collect physical evidence returned with a thin girl holding half a bowl of leftover porridge.
Wu Dalie looked at the girl coldly, although she was generally unkempt, but if she looked closely, she was quite touching. Then I took the three-person household post and looked at it, and it was really a father and daughter brother and sister.
In the Ming Dynasty, the household registration management was extremely strict, and Zhu Yuanzhang took "arguing the noble and the lowly, and correcting the name" as the purpose, stipulating that all people in the world must be naturalized; Households are determined by nationality, and are divided into military, civilian, craftsman, and stove, each with its own affiliation, and must not be confused. And everyone has their own fixed place, in addition to the meritorious scholars can "travel the world", ordinary people are not allowed to run around, "Da Ming Law" clearly stipulates that "farmers do not go out of a mile, in and out of the twilight, the way of work and rest know each other." That is to say, you can't run around in your township, and you must have a "road guide" when you go out, otherwise you will be a homeless person and will be arrested.
Therefore, this household post is equivalent to the current "ID card".
"You...... Another examination of the body. Wu Dalie, who had been stunned for a long time, waved weakly.
Up to now, it can be said that the evidence is conclusive, the human and material evidence is like a mountain in the subway case, the autopsy is just a routine, and he can almost predict the outcome.
Sure enough, he lifted the straw mat and first examined the stiff limbs and blackened body surface of the corpse, and saw that there were no external injuries.
This time everyone can see clearly, it is really indisputable, coupled with the actions of Ping Su Liang Zheng, Wu Dalie has already believed in ten times ten, and he does not wait for a return, and knocks on the shocked wood fiercely:
"Liang Zheng, the matter has come to this, you ...... What else to say? ”
This knock on the table was more like a knock on his heart.
This evil obstacle is really in vain for Brother Yuanzhi's teachings, in vain for his own efforts, he bullied men and women, and now he is openly poisoning people in broad daylight!
This...... This......
How can you hide it and keep it?
But that's exactly what happened!
"Hahahaha~~!"
A burst of unbridled laughter exploded from above the courtroom.
"You scum, you don't know how to wipe your mouth when you steal food, and you don't know how to finish it when you fake." Liang Zheng was proud, and he didn't even bother to modify the mistake of "scum", "Come on, come on, I'll teach you how to wronged a person." ”
