In the clanging sound of chains mopping the floor, Cai Yingyang, Chen Hong and Chen Yang's wife were escorted to the court by several officials. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info as they passed through the crowd outside the lobby, everyone looked at them with suspicion and fear. In the small county town of Zhuji, there has not been such a homicide for many years, so in the eyes of the people, these suspects are very terrible.

It's just that when their eyes turned to the last wife Chen, some men showed different eyes, they really couldn't believe that such a bewitching woman could have anything to do with the murder, and it was her husband who was killed.

After confirming the identities of the three people, Yang Chen swept his gaze over the faces of the three people who were already kneeling in the hall one by one, and said solemnly: "This official will give you another chance." As long as he is willing to confess his crime now, the official can regard him as remorseful, and will ask the court for his life and spare his capital crime. You've figured it out. ”

Xuan Chuang, who was sitting at the bottom of the house, sneered in his heart when he heard this, and a look of disdain flashed on his face: "You can't make people confess just by relying on this, do you Yang Chen really think that the trial is so simple?" ”

The three suspects in the hall really didn't react when they heard this, but they just said that they were wronged, and all this fell in the eyes of the people outside the door, making their confidence in Yang Chen drop suddenly.

But Yang Chen didn't feel discouraged by this, he just nodded: "Okay, since you all said that you were wronged, then the official will ask them one by one today." Cai Yingyang, the Chen clan asserted that you were the murderer of Chen Yang that day, not only because you wanted to leave the village that day, but also because your father Cai Kewen was injured by the deceased. As the Son of Man, it is natural that you will kill someone in a moment of anger, do you have anything to argue with? ”

"Master, I've been wronged. I do hate that Chen Yang for hurting my father, but I never thought of killing and retaliating. On the day of the incident, I have been in the Cai ancestral hall behind closed doors and repented, but I have never even gone out. Cai Yingyang once again said his previous statement. After being imprisoned in the county jail for a few days, he was still full of energy, and his voice was still loud, which showed that he was in excellent health.

In stark contrast, it is Chen Hong and the two. Even if they entered the cell two days later than Cai Yingyang, but after three or four days, they already looked very haggard, and they were all weak when they reported their identities just now, and they were even more atrophied when they knelt there at the moment.

When Yang Chen saw his appearance, his heart became more determined, so he continued: "You said that you were in the ancestral hall at the time of the crime, but as far as this official knows, no one can testify for you at that time. You can go out at night and return to the ancestral hall after the killing. This is hard to prove your innocence. ”

"This ......" Cai Yingyang thought for a moment before saying: "If I am really a murderer, I will not be questioned by adults here today!" ”

"Well, what do you mean by that?" Yang Chen narrowed his eyes and asked. This is also the doubt in the hearts of people inside and outside the hall, how could Cai Yingyang say such contradictory words.

"If I were really a murderer, I would have flown away a long time ago, and I would not have been caught by the Chen family at all."

"Ha, weren't you just trying to leave the village before being recognized as a murderer before being sent to the county office?" Yang Chen chuckled.

"That's because I knew that I was innocent and thought that the government would definitely be able to restore my innocence, so I obeyed my father's wishes and was arrested. Otherwise, they would not have been able to stop me. And when I left, I didn't abscond in fear of crime, but wanted to come to the county to find a friend. As he spoke, Cai Yingyang turned his gaze to Yang Zhen, who was standing on the side of the lobby.

Yang Zhen didn't pay much attention to it, and still looked like he was just a hall ornament.

"Presumptuous!" At this time, Xuan Chuang couldn't help but scold: "Above the lobby, how can you be so quibble!" I think you're running out of words and can't find a more appropriate way to put it up, so you made up such a reason. ”

"Xuandian History, don't be impatient." Yang Chen glanced at his subordinates and stopped him from talking. Then he looked at Cai Yingyang: "What do you mean by this?" Do you want to say that you were willing to be taken down by the government this time? ”

"Exactly! I'm not afraid of shadows, since I didn't kill anyone, of course I'm not afraid of seeing officials, so they brought me to the county office. Cai Ying raised his neck, looking confident.

Yang Chen smiled again: "This is just your side of the story, how can you prove that you were brought by them voluntarily?" ”

"It's easy to do." Cai Yingyang swayed his body that was tied up by ropes and said, "Even the constraints of the government can't help me, let alone them!" As he spoke, his eyes suddenly widened, his mouth suddenly snorted, and his arms stretched outward. I only heard a crisp snap, and the hemp rope that was bound to him and was as thick as an arm's arm actually broke in response.

In just a moment, the rope that restricted Cai Yingyang's upper body movement was no more!

Suddenly, more than 100 people in and out of the hall showed surprise, and many people who saw this situation even screamed in surprise. It was an extremely strong hemp rope, and it took a lot of effort to cut it with a knife, but it was easily broken by him, and this person's strength was too great.

It was still a few officials in the hall who reacted the fastest, and after being slightly stunned, they hurriedly stepped forward and pressed on Cai Yingyang's shoulder, and several of them even raised the water and fire sticks in their hands to prevent him from suddenly attacking.

It was Yang Chen, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. After glancing at the brother who had not moved, he waved his hand and said, "You all stand down!" But he said it to the officials.

"A bold criminal, you dare to break free from the shackles above the court, do you want to escape?" At this time, Xuan Chuang suddenly came back to his senses, and immediately shouted fiercely.

Yang Chen waved his hand: "The history of Xuandian is heavy." Cai Yingyang made this move to explain his ability, why are you so nervous? ”

It was as if Xuan Chuang was frightened, and his courage was far less than that of Yang Chen's county order. This made Xuan Chuang's heart even more unhappy, but in front of everyone, it was not easy to contradict the official, so he had to stop making a noise with a gloomy face.

But in the eyes of the people outside, there are really people who have this kind of thought. When Cai Yingyang suddenly broke the rope, the Yang county commander was very calm, which made them look at the new county commander a few more times.

After this turmoil subsided, Yang Chen looked at Cai Yingyang again: "You really didn't lie, it seems that it is indeed a bit too much to insist on identifying you as a murderer." Step aside......"

"Thank you, sir!" Cai Yingyang kowtowed, stood up honestly, and dragged the chains on his feet to the side.

Xuan Chuang's face became even more gloomy: "I didn't expect Yang Chen to have this trick, this must have been discussed with Cai Yingyang." However, this time it can indeed make people doubt the statement that he is the murderer, and it seems that Yang Chen and the others have not put much thought into it in the past two days. But don't get complacent too early, it's not so easy to judge this case! ”

At this time, Yang Chen had already turned his attention to the other two suspects: "Chen Hong, Chen Zhang's family, three days ago, the county officials arrested you because they found out that there was an adultery between the two of you, and they might be involved in the murder of Chen Yang, do you have anything to say about this?" ”

"Ah...... It turned out to be a pair of adulterers and adulteresses, phew! ”

"How could I list the deceased's brother and wife as suspects, it is such a dirty thing, I dare to say that they are murderers nine times out of ten!" ……

Suddenly, some people outside the hall whispered. For people in this era, adultery between men and women is sometimes more shameful than murder and arson, and when this kind of thing is still linked to homicide, the people will naturally go to adultery and murder of their husbands.

Hearing these discussions, Chen Bo and other Chen clan members who were among the people felt red-faced, thinking that there was such a pair of adulterers and adulteresses in their family, and they were afraid that they would be laughed at in the future. At this moment, Chen Bo even regretted agreeing to cooperate with Xuan Chuang to make things bigger, didn't this completely publicize the ugly things of the Chen family?

But when things come to this point, it's too late to regret it, so you can only follow the established strategy, as long as you can prove that your son didn't kill anyone, some reputation damage, let it go.

Xuan Chuang also frowned slightly, he really didn't take this detail into account. Before, he only thought about how to take advantage of the situation to defeat Yang Chen, and as for the filthy things on Chen Hong, he didn't look at it at all. But now it seems that the impact of this incident is not small. But fortunately, he had already prepared, and he was not afraid that Yang Chen would only use this moral issue to convict Chen Hong.

Although he only felt ashamed and angry in the contempt and scolding of everyone, in order to protect himself, Chen Hong still kowtowed again and again and said, "My lord...... My lord, I have been wronged. Although Xiao Min was fascinated for a while and did such a thing that was inferior to pigs and dogs, even if he gave Xiao Min a hundred guts, he couldn't do such a murderous thing! Ask for an adult's understanding! ”

As for Chen's wife, at this moment, her face was like a red cloth, and she hung her head so much that she was about to bury herself in her towering chest, but she didn't dare to say a word. Because the status of women in this era is already low, and a woman who betrays her husband and steals men has no status at all. knew that she was even more wrong, so she could only pin her hopes on her lover.

"Really? I think it will be in your best interest to do so. As far as the people sent by the county government inquired about, in fact, Chen Yang had already noticed that his wife was unfaithful a few days ago. And you, it is precisely because he is afraid that he will find out that he is Chen Zhang's lover, or he has discovered this secret, so he killed him, right? Yang Chen sneered and said what the people outside the hall thought in their hearts.

"My lord, my lord has wronged me. It's really impossible for the villain to kill Chen Yang because of this! Chen Hong argued fiercely: "The villain has evidence that can prove this." ”

"Oh, but what proof is it? Don't say anything about the fact that you were with Chen Zhang's that night, so if you don't have time to commit the crime, this can't be believed. Yang Chen blocked his way one step earlier.
