Chapter 34: The Turning Point
A quarter of an hour passed quickly, but Jiang Sheng and Fang Yue did not come back, and after waiting for a while, many people noticed that something was wrong.
If you go home, as Ye Zhao said, a round trip, a quarter of an hour is enough, but until now, I haven't seen Jiang Sheng and Fang Yue's figures, that is to say, the woman is not going home, her husband has just died, where will she go if she doesn't go home for the funeral at this time?
Zhou Jing's complexion became difficult to see.
Ye Zhao closed his eyes and recuperated, as if everything could not make him feel excited.
Zhang Yu's face was overjoyed, according to what Ye Zhao said, the later Jiang Sheng and Fang Yue came back, the more likely it was that the case would take a turn for the worse.
After another quarter of an hour, Jiang Sheng and Fang Yue finally returned to the county hall with the woman and another man.
Ye Zhao opened his eyes, and Zhou Jing's face became a little darker.
"Come on, bring Zhang Wu to the hall." Ye Zhao was shocked and said loudly.
"What does this mean, Envoy?" Zhang looked at Ye Zhao, and his face was a little ugly.
Ye Zhao ignored her, looked at the man and said, "Who are you, what is your surname, and where are you?" ”
"Hui Envoy Jun, in Xia Ma'an, a local, lives in Majiazhuang outside the city, and looks after the old mansion for my master." The man bowed.
"Oh? Who is the master of your house? Ye Zhao looked at him with interest.
"My master is Ma Yuanyi." Ma An bowed down and said, "I don't know what happened when the envoy was arrested?" ”
Ma Yuanyi? It's a familiar name.
Ye Zhao shook his head, put these thoughts away, looked at Ma An and said, "It's not a big deal, I just hope you can truthfully explain how you conspired with the Zhang family to kill that butcher." ”
"What are you talking about? Maan didn't understand. Ma An's face turned pale, then he returned to normal and looked at Ye Zhaodao.
"You've got some city." Ye Zhao didn't continue to ask, but looked at the Zhang family and said, "Zhang, can you, so far, are you still unwilling to tell what happened?" ”
Zhang hurriedly shook his head and said, "The people don't know what the envoy means, isn't the murderer of my husband already convicted?" ”
"The conviction just now just made you relax your vigilance, you howled in the court before, and the official has seen that you are not really sad, but afraid and worried, although the official is young, but the people he has seen and experienced things that you can't imagine, and your fake crying has made the official even more suspicious."
"Ye County Order." Zhou Jing on the side suddenly opened his mouth and said indifferently: "This official has to remind you that even if what you say is reasonable, this fake crying and real crying cannot be used as evidence in court." ”
"Of course." Ye Zhao nodded: "The crying just made the lower officials suspicious, so he set up a plan, first pretended to cut off Zhang Wu's crimes, and let her relax her vigilance, this Zhang family is just a woman's family, if you want to say that the official who kills chickens believes it, but if you say that you have the courage to kill, unless you are born to be a vicious person, otherwise...... But the official never believed it. ”
"This butcher obviously bleed too much and died, how did it become a murderer?" Ma An argued.
"The official did not explain the facts of the case, how did you know that the deceased was a Zhang butcher?" Ye Zhao looked at Ma An and smiled.
"The envoy laughed, the case of Zhang Butcher has now caused a sensation in the city, and besides, I and the Zhang family's sister-in-law are friends, after knowing this, I just comforted her, why not?" Ma An's face did not change his color.
"Yes, it's a bit of a change." Ye Zhao looked at Fang Yue and Jiang Sheng and said, "The two of you will tell you what you have seen and heard along the way. ”
"Whoa!" Jiang Sheng took a step forward and said: "Brother Fang and I followed this woman all the way out of the county government according to the instructions of the envoy, but found that this woman did not go home, but walked around the city for a while, went out from the north gate, and after walking about two miles, went to Mazhuang, and then this Ma'an appeared. ”
"So as far as you can see, these two are ordinary friends?" Ye Zhao asked with a smile.
"Not really." Jiang Sheng and Fang Yue shook their heads at the same time and said: "As soon as these two meet, when they see no one around, they hug and hug, and even kiss each other, if it weren't for the two of us coming out quickly, maybe what would have happened, no matter how good a friend is, this should not be like this, right?" ”
"You two are open enough." Ye Zhao looked at Ma An and said with a smile: "Your comforting method is also special enough, and it is even more thorough, and the official admires it very much." ”
Zhang's face was a little unbearable, so he simply sprinkled it: "What makes you decide now is that my husband was killed, how can you take care of my private affairs for no reason?" Who is better with the people's daughter, that's the people's daughter's business, what is the matter of this case? ”
"Okay, then let's go back to the case of the murder of the Zhang butcher, you said that the Zhang butcher resolutely refused to seek medical treatment after returning home?" Ye Zhao asked.
"Not bad." Zhang nodded.
"Is this a big lie? Ants are still stealing life, and people are calling? And what is the purpose of his doing this? Ye Zhao sneered.
"It's to take revenge on that Zhang Wu." Zhang glanced at Zhang Wu hatefully and said: "The Zhang family is powerful, and I can only swallow my anger when I wait for the small people to be beaten, and my husband is stubborn, so I would rather take revenge." ”
First of all, if he really had such an idea, he would fight with Zhang Wu directly, instead of returning home, he had only one purpose when he went home, that is, to ask for help; Moreover, bleeding to death, which is more than ten times more painful than ordinary death, seeing your life disappear little by little with the loss of blood, since you have chosen to die, why not die? ”
Ye Zhao looked at Zhang and smiled: "Another point, you said that you took care of Zhang Butcher without clothes, and he kept bleeding, and immediately after his death, he went to the Prime Minister's Mansion, why are you so clean and tidy, and even painted some makeup?" ”
Looking at the silent Zhang family, Ye Zhao smiled and said: "This official suspected that you had adultery from the beginning, and I am afraid that he would have the intention to kill this troublesome husband a long time ago, but Zhang Wu was unlucky, and just gave you a chance to put this sin on him." ”
"Envoy, the murderer is Zhang Wu, doesn't he admit it himself?" Zhang said unconvinced.
"He only admitted to fighting and hurting people, but he didn't admit to killing, I just sentenced him to be beheaded after the autumn, but it's just to calm your heart." Ye Zhao slapped the shocked wood and said: "Now the evidence is conclusive, Zhang, you still want to quibble, don't you think that the torture equipment of this county government is not a decoration?" ”
Ma An opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but he was pressed lightly behind his back by Guan Hai, who had already been entrusted by Ye Zhao, and his handsome face suddenly distorted, and he couldn't make a sound.
In Zhang's eyes, he was obviously unwilling, and sighed helplessly: "What the envoy said is right, the husband was indeed killed by Ma An." ”
"Slut, idiot!" Ma An finally relieved himself in one breath, and almost turned his back angrily when he heard the words, and scolded angrily.
"Come on, put them in prison for me, although Zhang Wu didn't kill anyone, but hurt people first, betray you to help that Zhang butcher handle the aftermath, all the expenses will be borne by you, can you admit punishment?" Ye Zhao was shocked, and asked people to take Ma An and Zhang down, and then looked at Zhang Wudao.
"Zhang Wu admits punishment!" Zhang Wu knelt on the ground with relief, kowtowed to Ye Zhao and said, "Zhang Wu is grateful for making you aware of everything." ”
