Chapter 122: Another Village (Part II)

Facing Yang Chen's slightly playful questioning, a trace of hatred flashed in Chen Hong's eyes. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoIn the past few days, he has really been humiliated, and today he has been publicly accused of adultery with his cousin-in-law, but I am afraid that it will be difficult to gain a foothold in the Chen clan in the future. Since all this is thanks to the Yang County Order in front of him, let him do something to fight back!

Just when everyone thought that he was speechless, Chen Hong suddenly raised his head and said, "No, Xiaomin has other evidence to prove that I didn't kill Chen Yang!" I actually suffered from an eye disease, and at night, I couldn't see anything a few feet away unless it was lit by a candle. It was only in our own village that I could walk around at night, and once I was out of the village, I couldn't tell the high or low directions at night, let alone ambush someone. ”

"What?" This remark was indeed beyond Yang Chen's expectations, he couldn't help but lean forward, forced to look at Chen Hong and said, "Is this true?" ”

"It's true, Xiaomin has this eye disease is known to many villagers. If the lord doesn't believe it, you can ask them! Chen Hong responded without hesitation. Seeing Yang Chen's somewhat disdainful appearance, he only felt a burst of pleasure like a triumphant revenge.

But when it comes to happiness in the heart, it is still more intense. When he heard Chen Hong tell the evidence he had set before, and saw Yang Chen's expression of surprise and disbelief, a smug smile appeared on his face. This is the killer weapon he relies on today, and it is also the fundamental reason why he bluntly said to Yang Chen before that Chen Hong could not be the murderer in this case.

What made Xuan Chuang feel even more relieved was that this thing was still true, Chen Hong did have an eye disease, and he usually couldn't see things at night, not that they made it up temporarily. And this alone is enough to exonerate Chen Hong.

The people outside the hall originally thought that Chen Hong was the murderer, but now when they heard this, they immediately made a big uproar and talked about it. Some people think that this is just a nonsense made up by Chen Hong to get rid of his crimes, and some people have doubts about Cai Yingyang, who was previously found innocent, thinking that compared with Chen Hong, who looks thin or Chen Zhang, who is just a woman, the burly Cai Yingyang is more like a murderer.

Seeing this, Yang Chen's brows furrowed. Immediately picked up the shocking wood and slapped it heavily on the big case and shouted: "Quiet, no noise in the public court!" ”

Under his scolding, the people outside the hall finally calmed down, but many people re-showed their suspicious eyes, looking at Yang Chen, a young county magistrate, to see how he could still try the case.

Xuan Chuang stood up at the right time and arched his hand to Yang Chen: "My lord, now the facts are very clear, Chen Hong is not the murderer who killed Chen Yang. is the suspect Cai Yingyang, although he keeps saying that he can escape, but in the eyes of the lower officials, this is just his excuse. How many people don't panic when they commit homicide and become known? He is just a young man who is not too young and weak, and even if he has divine power, he will be caught under the weakness of his heart. Please also have a good understanding! ”

"Please give our Chen family justice!" The people of the Chen clan outside the hall also suddenly knelt on the ground as agreed before, and petitioned the county lord who was high above.

This hand is indeed played beautifully, even those onlookers who are still swaying, and they are more willing to believe that Cai Yingyang is the murderer at this moment. In an instant, everyone's eyes were focused on Yang Chen, just waiting for him to finalize the case.

Zhao Bangfu and Jiang Chong, who were sitting at the bottom of the place, glanced at each other, and they both felt that in such a situation, it was difficult for Yang Chen to turn over. It seems that Xuan Chuang is indeed extremely thoughtful this time, and Yang Chen can't do it if he doesn't admit defeat. And once he loses this time, I am afraid that Yang Chen, the county commander, will be difficult to get ahead in the future.

Yang Chen swept his gaze from Xuan Chuang and Chen Hong, and then moved to the group of Chen clan people kneeling outside the hall, his face was cloudy, and he said after a while: "It seems that you already know that Chen Hong is suffering from an eye disease, and all this is within your expectations." ”

"Why do you say that? If the lower officials had known about this, they would not have let you identify Chen Hong as the murderer. Please take back your previous words! Of course, Xuan Chuang couldn't admit this, so he was very aggrieved.

"Really?" Yang Chen shook his head: "Actually, what does it have to do with it or not?" The official also knows that Chen Hong is not the murderer who killed Chen Yang......"

Seeing Yang Chen admit this in person, Xuan Chuang was in a better mood, and the smile on his face became brighter: "In this case, please convict Cai Yingyang of your lordship!" ”

"Please don't be impatient for a while, the official's words haven't been finished yet!" Yang Chen's gaze turned to the outside of the hall again, and he saw a servant walking to the door and nodding at him. A smug smile similar to Xuan Chuang's face suddenly appeared: "Although this official confirmed that this case was not committed by Chen Hong, it cannot be concluded that Cai Yingyang is the murderer." ”

"Why, could it be that at this time, the adults still want to shield the murderer? Although he has a very close relationship with his younger brother Yang Zhen, after all, the country has national laws, and if the adults want to exonerate him because of this, please forgive the officials for not accepting it! Xuan Chuang immediately made the matter clear.

He didn't expect Yang Chen to be so unwilling to compromise, and as soon as his mind turned, he thought of this argument to further hit the other party. And this really caused an uproar among the people outside the hall, and they remembered a saying that circulated a few days ago, the county ordered Yang Chen to bend the law for personal gain, that is, he refused to convict the criminal. Among them, the Chen clan is naturally the most noisy.

Seeing this, Zhao and Jiang couldn't help but shake their heads and sigh, they really couldn't imagine that this Yang County Commander was so unwise. It's all at this time, why is he still unwilling to admit defeat. If he admits defeat just now, although he will only be a puppet in the future, he can still be his county commander safely, but now that he is making such a fuss, there will be no room for things to turn around. Not only is his reputation ruined this time, but his future is also over.

There were more than 100 people in the hall, and only Yang Zhen was still indifferent, not worried about his brother at all. He looked at Xuan Chuang's smug smile, and saw that the others in the yamen didn't understand this, so he just slowly exhaled a breath: "The time should be almost up!" ”

Yang Chen's expression was extremely similar to that of Brother Nai, and he was also the same indifferent, even if everyone thought that he had made too much of a mistake this time. I saw him pick up the startled wood again and slap it on the ground, and reprimanded in his mouth: "Silence, if anyone dares to make noise for no reason, this official will condemn him to the crime of roaring in the court!" ”

After all, the official authority is not something that the people dare to touch easily, and when they saw Yang Chen exerting their authority again, everyone finally stopped, but the gaze that looked at the young county commander was not so friendly. Some even believe that this is the last time he will exert his power.

After regaining control of the situation, Yang Chen looked at Xuan Chuang: "Xuandian History, why are you so eager every time and refuse to listen to the official's words?" Do you have anything to do with the real murderer in this case, and you are so anxious to blame Cai Yingyang for the crime? ”

"You ......" Xuan Chuang heard this, and his face changed. But at this moment, he had won the victory, so he didn't fight with Yang Chen, the loser in his eyes, and quickly suppressed his anger and said: "According to the adult's words, it was neither Chen Hong nor Cai Yingyang who killed Chen Yang?" Could it be that the adults can find another murderer? ”

Xuan Chuang is confident that it is difficult to find the murderer in this case in a short period of time. Even he, an old man in prison, did not come up with the true identity of the murderer after carefully reviewing the file, let alone Yang Chen, the new magistrate. So he didn't think that Yang Chen could still put forward another murderer at this time and convince everyone of the possibility.

But he obviously underestimated the abilities of the two brothers, Yang Chen and Yang Zhen. Just after he finished his question, Yang Chen nodded and said, "Yes, this official has found out that there is another murderer in this case!" ”

"Oh, and who is he? Where are the people? Xuan Chuang asked, in his mind, this may just be Yang Chen's strategy to delay the army, just to propose that there is another murderer to continue to drag the case on. But he believes that in today's situation, Yang Chen will not be able to drag it out any longer.

Yang Chen didn't mean to delay, only to see him pat the stunned wood again: "Where is Wei Yong?" ”

"Huh?" It was only at this time that Xuan Chuang suddenly discovered that Wei Yong, the head of the county government team, was not in the hall. How did the county lord suddenly call him, which made him feel a little uneasy in his heart.

Since the last time Wei Yong proposed to him not to interfere in Yang Chen's investigation, Xuan Chuang has become suspicious of this subordinate. Later, Wei Yong and Yang Zhen went to Chenjiaao together and brought back Chen Hong, which confirmed the fact that he had taken refuge in Yang Chen. Thinking that Xuan Yue had said that Wei Yong had gone out of the city several times in the past two days, it made Xuan Chuang even more suspicious: Could it be that Wei Yong was ordered to find someone to convict?

The answer was soon revealed.

Just after Yang Chen shouted, Wei Yong and Shou Laosi walked in from outside the hall with a man. I saw that they pressed the man to the ground, and he also knelt down and saluted: "The lowly Wei Yong (Shoubin) is fortunate not to be dishonored, and the real murderer of Chen Yang's murder has now been arrested!" ”

"Ah......" Not only Xuan Chuang, but almost everyone present opened their mouths in shock, and some people couldn't help but scream. Then everyone's eyes fell on the dejected young man who had been brought in, guessing the identity of this person.

Only a group of Chen clan members recognized that the person in front of them, who was taken by the government and pointed out as the murderer, was the idle Si Cong who set up a private casino.

"How is he?" Chen Bo and the others all looked puzzled, they didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in Yang Chen's gourd, how could they designate this person who seemed to have nothing to do with Chen Yang's death?

"My lord, this case is a big case of human life, and it is not just a matter of finding someone to point out that he is the murderer." Although Xuan Chuang was apprehensive, his words were still full of provocation.

Yang Chen seemed very calm at the moment, and when he heard this, he only smiled back: "Then please Xuandian History, and all the fathers and elders will listen to the official judge him!" ”
