Chapter 33: Contradictions Arise

Soon, a cadre of people about this murder case were sent to the county government by the prime minister, and the news that Zhou Jing personally came to supervise the trial also spread, this case itself is a dispute between Suiyang celebrities and ordinary people, and naturally it has also attracted the attention of a large number of people.

Although Ye Zhao and the Suiyang gentry did not have a bad relationship, because of Li Yong's case, the people felt that Ye Zhao was a good official who was not afraid of the powerful, and this case was already ironclad evidence in the eyes of everyone, whether it was the prime minister or the county government, there would be no other results, and the only possible accident was the off-site forces of Zhang Yu.

"Ye County Order, this case is very important, and the people of Suiyang are quite concerned, and the people are terrible!" Zhou Jing still looked close and looked at Ye Zhao with concern.

It's just that Ye Zhao could detect a bit of sarcasm in Zhou Jing's tone.

"Rest assured, Zhao will handle this case impartially." Ye Zhao nodded and said.

"That's very good." Zhou Jing smiled with satisfaction, glanced at Zhang Yu, but did not step forward to greet him, sat directly beside Ye Zhao, closed his eyes and said no more.

"Take the suspect and the plaintiff to court." Everyone sat down, Ye Zhao slapped the table and said loudly.

The county guards brought Zhang Wu, the son of Zhang Wu, and a crying woman to the court.

"Qiu County, and tell the official in detail about the matter." Ye Zhao looked at Qiu Chi on the side and motioned for him to retell the case.

"Whoa!" Qiu Chi bowed, unfolded a roll of bamboo paper, and read the case aloud.

Zhang Wu is the son of Zhang Wu, heroic temperament, good friends with heroes, yesterday early morning with the family to the market, ready to buy some ground meat back to feast guests, but with the butcher Zhang Sansheng quarrel, the two sides do not let each other, and finally the quarrel turned into a fight, between the fight, Zhang Wu missed a knife in the butcher's leg, bleeding more than once, after returning home, that evening because of excessive bleeding and died.

"Zhang Wu, what the county Cheng said, is there any truth?" Ye Zhao looked at Zhang Wu, who was kneeling on the ground, and said in a deep voice.

"Nope." Zhang Wu shook his head and said bitterly.

"That is, you admit to killing someone?" Ye Zhao asked again.

"I just cut him, and I didn't think I'd die." Zhang Wu said astringently.

"It stands to reason that since you are injured, you should go to see a doctor, Zhang, why don't you go?" Ye Zhao looked at the crying woman and asked with a frown.

"Back to the envoy, my husband is rebellious by nature, after being injured, the woman wanted to take him to the doctor for treatment, but the husband was unwilling to live or die, the woman had to untie his clothes and take care of his side, and in the evening, the husband finally did not carry it and died." Zhang cried.

Ye Zhao looked at the Zhang family carefully and said with a smile: "You woman has a bit of a look, and it is also a bit of a blessing that the butcher can marry you." ”

Ye Zhao's topic turned a little stiffly, Zhang didn't know how to answer, and looked at Ye Zhao for a while and didn't know what to say.

"Cough~" Zhou Jing on the side coughed lightly and said: "Ye Xianling, at this moment, it is in the public court, don't say something unrelated to this case." ”

"Yes." Ye Zhao nodded, looked at Zhang Wu and said, "Zhang Wu, although you hurt people with a sharp weapon, although it was an unintentional mistake, but it did kill someone, what do you want to justify?" ”

"Under ...... Speechless. Zhang Wu closed his eyes and said in pain.

"Okay, kill to pay for your life, repay your debts, and the official will sentence you to be beheaded after the autumn, and after the official writes the official document and submits it to the court, he will be executed immediately! Someone came, and put Zhang Wu in prison first. Ye Zhao was shocked and said loudly.

......Although Zhang Yu had been mentally prepared, when Ye Zhao was sentenced, he still stood up in shock, and then sat down down, as if he was ten years old in a moment.

"Envoy, is there anything else hidden in this case?" Shen Bai on the side frowned and looked at Ye Zhao.

"The evidence is ironclad, even Zhang Wu himself has admitted it, and the official can't do anything." Ye Zhao shook his head, turned his head to look at Zhou Jing on the side, and said, "I don't know what Fujun thinks?" ”

"Hmm." Zhou Jing nodded and said, "Ye County's order really decided the case like a god!" ”

Ye Zhao turned his head to look at the Zhang clan and said, "Poor woman, you can go home and arrange your husband's funeral." ”

"Thank you." The woman hurriedly thanked Ye Zhao, glanced at Zhang Yu and the others with some fear, and left in a panic.

"In that case, it's time for the government to leave." Seeing that the case was closed, Zhou Jing got up and smiled.

"Slow down." Ye Zhao saw that the woman had gone away, and the onlookers had dispersed, he stretched out his hand to stop Zhou Jing, turned his head to look at Jiang Sheng and Fang Yue, and said: "Jiang County Lieutenant, Fang Yue, you two follow the woman, don't be discovered by her, if she doesn't go home after leaving the county government, but meets with others, you will immediately arrest this woman and the person who met with her, if she goes home, you don't have to continue to follow, just return to the county government to report." ”

"Whoa!" Jiang Sheng and Fang Yue agreed, turned around and left.

"Ye County Order, what does this mean?" Zhou Jing looked at Ye Zhao suspiciously, and Zhang Yu and the others on the side also looked at him.

"It's hard to say now, but there are still some doubts in this case that have not been clarified." Ye Zhao shook his head: "We have to wait for Jiang Sheng and Fang Yue to come back and report before the case can be decided." ”

A wave of hope was reborn in Zhang Yu's eyes, but Zhou Jing's face became unpleasant, and he looked at Ye Zhao and said, "Ye County ordered this, didn't he accept any benefits, so he was unwilling to close the case?" In the opinion of this official, the evidence in this case is ironclad, and there is no need to continue to waste time. ”

"I won't delay the prince for too long." Ye Zhao smiled and said: "It's a matter of human life, even if there is only one thing wrong, Zhao doesn't dare to be rash." ”

"What the envoy said is right, it's a matter of human life, Fujun!" Zhang Yu stood up, bowed to Zhou Jing and said: "If the old man has offended anything in the past, I will apologize to the prince here, and I only ask the prince not to cut off my Zhang family's incense!" ”

"Bastard!" Zhou Jing's face changed greatly, and he shouted: "How can this official be abolished for personal reasons!?" ”

"Gong Zhang is also eager to save his son, and he is out of order, so don't take it to heart." Ye Zhao said with a smile: "It will only take a quarter of an hour to go back and forth from here to that butcher's house, and it will not delay the prince too much." ”

"Humph!" Zhou Jing glared at Ye Zhao with an unkind face, and snorted coldly: "Okay, let me see how Ye Xianling's extraordinary method of judging the case overturns this ironclad case!" ”
