XLVIII. Interrogation
"Lord Qiyu, under Shen Qinglong." Shen Qinglong bowed his waist and did not kneel.
"Folk girl Mu Qing." Mu Qing, who was beside Shen Qinglong, knelt down with a "plop".
The two Shen Mansion family members also knelt down and gave their names.
"Shen Qinglong, why don't you kneel?" Yu Huawen asked.
Of course, Yu Huawen knew that Shen Qinglong had a letter of recommendation from the imperial court, so he didn't have to kneel, but the process of passing through the hall still had to be done, just a formality.
Shen Qinglong understood and arched his hand: "My lord, Shen has a letter of recommendation from the imperial court, and he can be exempted from kneeling in the hall according to the law." β
"Hmm." Yu Huawen nodded and asked, "Shen Qinglong, this official asked you, what are your grievances when you beat the drum today?" β
"Lord Hui, I'm going to sue this person next!" Shen Qinglong pointed at Yuan Baohu, his face was Lingran.
"Oh?" Yu Huawen raised his eyebrows.
"This person is a messenger from the capital, and he went to the cold house yesterday afternoon. And he, seeing that Shen's concubine Mu Qing had a bit of a look, actually broke into Mu Qing's room in the inner courtyard late at night, wanting to do something wrong! Shen Qinglong looked aggrieved, still angry.
"Fortunately, Mu Qing swore to die, and shouted for help, which alarmed the family and the nursing home, so that this person did not succeed."
"My lord! You have to be the master of the people's daughter-" Mu Qing knelt on the ground and covered his face with his sleeves and whimpered, looking like he couldn't cry and was heartbroken.
The onlookers listened to the two people's statements, and for a while they were indignant, and the bold ones simply shouted loudly:
"Damn it!"
"It's a well-dressed beast!"
"This man deserves a thousand cuts!"
"It's a shame that he's still an official, it's really a human-faced beast!"
β¦β¦
"Shen Qinglong, you scoundrel! A mouth full of nonsense and a bloody mouth! I've never seen this woman at all! Yuan Baohu raised his eyebrows and roared like thunder, constantly struggling with the rope on his body.
Yu Huawen slapped the startled wood hard, and shouted with a majestic face: "Silence! There was a sudden silence.
"If there are onlookers who make a commotion and roar in court, this county will severely punish them!" Yu Huawen glanced around, raised his voice and reprimanded.
His gaze stopped on Yuan Baohu, and said in a deep voice: "Before the truth is revealed, Lord Yuan is still an official of the imperial court, according to the law of our court, you cannot use torture instruments, come to someone, and loosen the ties of Lord Yuan!" β
When the official untied the rope on Yuan Baohu's body, Yu Huawen looked at Shen Qinglong with his eyes like a sword and said: "Shen Qinglong, yesterday Lord Yuan went to the mansion with this county, and I haven't seen him leave during this period, I don't know where he saw Mu Qing?" β
"My lord, yesterday you adults visited, and Lord Yuan walked last. Just as he was about to enter the living room, Mu Qing passed by the side room. By this time, the other adults had already entered the house and sat down, so they had never seen her. Shen Qinglong arched his hand, and it made sense.
"Oh? How can there be such a coincidence? Shen Qinglong, do you know the crime of false accusation? Yu Huawen's voice was a little cold.
Shen Qinglong's face turned pale, and he said solemnly: "My lord! Shen has always been safe and guarded by himself, and everyone knows it from far and near. Now it is obvious that Lord Yuan broke into the house at night as a traitor, and was caught by Shen on the spot, and the evidence is ironclad, but Lord Yu doesn't ask about this, but blindly suspects Shen, I don't know what the adult means? β
Shen Qinglong has a sharp tongue, and the corners of his mouth are windy.
Yu Huawen frowned slightly, and said in a deep voice: "When it is time to ask, the county will ask him." Then he picked up Tangmu and slapped it suddenly, which scared Mu Qing and the two family members into a spirit.
"Mu Qing! Did you meet this person in the house yesterday afternoon? β
Mu Qing stopped sobbing and replied, "Yes." β
"Where have you seen it?!"
"In the porch of the living room in the front yard. At that time, the concubine was about to return to the backyard bedroom, and when she looked up, she found the thief..... This Lord Yuan is staring at me! Who knew he would do such a nasty thing. Woo woo...... "Speaking of sadness, Mu Qing cried again.
Lin He and Qin Hanyu glanced at each other and shook their heads slightly.
Yesterday, Yuan Baohu followed Lin He into the living room, and before Lin He entered, he also took a special look at the corridor, except for the two family members, there was no one else at all. Could it be that this Mu Qing can fly? As soon as I entered, I flew over and was seen by Yuan Baohu? But now Shen Qinglong can be said to have obtained all the stolen goods, and there is evidence. As long as he bites and says yes, Yuan Baohu is covered with mouth, and it is difficult to tell. In court, if you want to overturn the witness, you must come up with the corresponding evidence, otherwise it can only be empty and unfounded. Still, it's not a bad thing to make this guy with eyes on the top of his head suffer a little. Thinking of this, Lin He was secretly happy, and almost didn't laugh out loud, so frightened that he hurriedly collected his face.
"Your Excellency!" Shen Qinglong spoke again, "This person is a poor person in the court, knows the law and violates the law, and is stubborn. Ignoring the face of the court, ignoring the discipline of the people, practicing the law and morality, and corrupting the morality of ordinary people! Such a rampant traitor should be severely punished, so that the people can be given justice, Qiantang and Taiping, and Dajin a bright and prosperous people! β
This Shen Qinglong is worthy of being a scholar, his tongue is lifted, his mouth is like a hanging river, and he vividly speaks of Yuan Baohu as a villain who is angry with the gods, which attracts everyone's applause.
If it weren't for the fact that he knew this Shen Qinglong, Lin He and the others would almost believe him.
Yu Huawen was shocked, and said with a majestic face: "Shen Qinglong, before the case is clear, it is not your turn to close the case!" β
Shen Qinglong was reprimanded by Yu Huawen, but he was not angry, but just arched his hand and said, "Yes, my lord, Shen has trespassed." β
Yu Huawen turned his head again and said to Yuan Baohu: "Yuan Baohu, can you agree with Shen Qinglong's accusation?" β
At this time, Yuan Baohu may have been confused by Shen Qinglong, and when he saw Yu Huawen asking, he actually "I...... I couldn't speak for a long time .......
The pig teammates who are not angry, the opportunities have been given, and they don't even have a set of rhetoric, he obviously admits it.
Lin He looked at Yuan Baohu speechlessly.
Qin Hanyu twitched the corners of his mouth, tilted his head, and didn't want to look at him anymore.
"It's not a real recruit yet!" Yu Huawen looked directly at Yuan Baohu, and Tang Mu patted it, his eyes were like electricity.
"He'sβHe's a bloody spurt!" After a few voices, Yuan Baohu finally confessed loudly.
"Then tell me, why did you break into the Shen Mansion at night? Hurry up and get to the truth! β
"This ..... For adults, the people who practice martial arts often practice at night. Last night, I was practicing when I suddenly noticed a dark shadow on the roof, suspected of being a thief. It is the duty of the official family to catch thieves and thieves, so I didn't think much about it, and immediately flew up to the room and chased after him. I didn't expect to chase a compound and disappear, so I entered the Shen Mansion at night. "I am in a hurry, I can't imagine that Yuan Baohu's kung fu of lying is not as bad as Shen Qinglong.
"Pure!" This time it was Shen Qinglong's turn to protest.
Yu Huawen was shocked and stopped Shen Qinglong from interjecting.
"Then why did you enter Mu Qing's room, and what did you want?"
"I jumped off the roof and searched, and found a house with light, thinking that thieves were hiding in it, so I went inside to investigate."
The onlookers' eyes widened and there was a burst of whispering.
"Well, that's what happened!"
"It's pretty good, I don't know who this Lord Yu should believe."
"Oh? Can you spot thieves? Seeing that Yuan Baohu was finally able to justify himself, Yu Huawen breathed a sigh of relief and asked.
"Nope!" Yuan Baohu breathed a sigh of relief and said affirmatively.
"As soon as I entered the house, I smelled a faint fragrance, and then I fainted, and I didn't know anything!" This sentence was close to the truth, and he hid the part of lifting the quilt on the bed so as not to be caught.
Shen Qinglong glanced at him with a sneer and said, "Could it be that Lord Yuan still has to wear a mask on his face when he goes out to catch thieves?" β
"I'm willing, can you handle it!" Yuan Baohu's eyes widened, as if he was going to hold on to this reason.
"Okay." Shen Qinglong sneered and arched his hand towards Yu Huawen, "My lord, Shen has another witness, Shen Er, can you summon it?" β
"Quasi, bring the witness Shen Er to the court!"
The official walked to the door of the hall and said loudly: "Spread Shen Er to the hall!" β
A young man of medium stature and sturdy figure came out of the crowd and bowed his hand to the servant: "It's here!" Here it comes! β
The official took Shen Er into the lobby, and Shen Qinglong said, "My lord, this is the witness Shen Er." β
Yuan Baohu's eyes widened when he saw someone coming.
Shen Er knelt on the ground, kowtowed to Yu Huawen and said, "The villain Shen Mansion Ding Shen Er, kowtow to the county commander." β
Shen Er stood up and replied. Yu Huawen bowed, "What evidence do you have?" β
"Shen Er, tell Lord Yu what you experienced last night." Shen Qinglong said.
Shen Er got up from the ground and said, "My lord, last night, around midnight, the villain went out to relieve himself, and suddenly jumped from the eaves of a black-clothed man with a black scarf and a masked face. β
"As soon as they met, he strangled me by the neck and asked me where Miss Muqing lived."
"At that time, the villain was almost strangled to death by him, so I had to tell him in order to save his life."
"Then he knocked me unconscious with one slap."
Shen Er turned around, pulled his collar, and said, "Adults can take a look, the villain's neck is still bruised!" β
Everyone stretched out their heads and saw a bluish and purple mark.
"If you don't believe it, you will know by comparison." Shen Qinglong suggested lightly.
"Come on, compare the palm prints." Although Yu Huawen knew that this mark must have been left by Yuan Baohu, this process still had to be followed, so he ordered.
A servant walked out and compared Yuan Baohu's palm with it, and it really matched.
"My lord, the shape of the scar matches the root of Lord Yuan's right palm!" The official reported.
