Chapter Forty-Six: See the Disciples Again
Unheard of the irony in Wei Wuxing's words, Xu Cheng said, "Lord Wei really wants to go his own way? ”
"The evidence is conclusive, isn't Lord Xu messing around?" Wei Wuxing didn't give an inch. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
"The officer has always believed that it is not appropriate to convict on the basis of a single piece of evidence."
"If dozens of people testify that he was at the scene, and some people have witnessed his murder, and the testimony has been verified several times and is not suspicious, and the cause of death is now unknown, is it ridiculous to sentence him not guilty just because he had the courage to refuse to admit his guilt?" can sit on the position of Shangshu, and his eloquence is natural.
"And what about motivation?" Xu Cheng took a step back and said.
Wei Wuxing thought for a while, "The widow Fang is pitiful......"
Without waiting for him to finish speaking, Xu Cheng said: "It's just that the Fang clan's appearance is not outstanding." ”
The posture is average, and of course it is unreasonable to see the color.
"Judging beauty and ugliness, I think everyone has a set of standards, and they are not the same." Wei Wuxing said.
"From beginning to end, this official has never heard anyone ask him if the Fang clan is good-looking." Xu Cheng continued.
"Just because he doesn't like to tell the truth, besides, isn't Lord Xu a witness?" Wei Wuxing, who had no patience to continue theorizing with Xu Cheng, said categorically, because his intuition told him that Xu Cheng didn't just want to say these words.
Xu Cheng, who obviously didn't have the intention of overstepping his bounds, said indifferently: "Then please ask your lord to decide the case." ”
Wei Wuxing was a little surprised by Xu Cheng's attitude, and said that if he didn't entangle, he wouldn't entangle, but this did not affect his decision, and he upheld the original verdict and waited for the Holy Emperor's approval, and asked to close the case.
For such a result, Xu Cheng behaved calmly. The calm Zuo Wei even lost a little of the joy of victory. Only Hu Zhou on the side looked at Xu Cheng's crossed hands, and his index finger was tapping regularly, as if he was calculating something.
At the moment when the messenger was about to put Hu Zhou in prison, Lin Bao came. Hu Zhou saw that Xu Cheng put his hands into his sleeves, and his expression did not change in the slightest from beginning to end.
As for why Lin Bao pinched the time so accurately, Hu Zhou knew that he did it on purpose.
Lin Bao, who has dealt with deception since he was a child, naturally knows how to maximize his favor, so it is not surprising that he stepped on such a node.
To say that Wei Wuxing didn't know Lin Bao, of course it was impossible, because this Lin Bao could walk into the lobby of the Criminal Department in a grand manner under the gaze of everyone.
"Slave Lin Bao, I have seen Lord Shangshu and Lord Chengmu." Lin Bao, who greeted the two, looked arrogant.
"Father-in-law Lin doesn't have to be formal, and I don't know if my father-in-law is coming, what is the so-called matter?" came to the court, it must be Hu Zhou's case, Wei Wuxing asked knowingly.
Lin Bao is Zhu Qian's chamberlain, and on such occasions, Lin Bao's representative is naturally the master Zhu Qian. From the sudden change of attitude of the Spiegel Division to Xu Cheng's knowing that it was not feasible, it was enough to surprise Wei Wuxing. Because a victim like Hu Zhou can be grabbed at once. So he couldn't understand the attitude of these people.
If the matter was just an accident at first, but the case was handed over to the Criminal Department, and Spiegel avoided suspicion, someone would naturally add fuel to the fire. As for who it was, it seemed that the criminal department Shangshu who was being used surprisingly didn't ask. Wei Wuxing didn't believe that these absolutely smart people in the clouds would not be able to see it. So now that it's time for Zhu Qian, is it the third prince or the eldest prince next, and is it child's play to be Lanzi's law?
To tell the truth, Lao Wei, who has been engaged in judicial work all his life, has a little hair in his heart, this is not a cadre for the village chief!
However, as soon as Lin Bao spoke, Wei Wuxing died down.
"Lord Shangshu, it is inconvenient for the princess to appear because of her identity, so I will bring you a message. A few days ago, Hu Zhou was caught by the princess and told the story for a few hours. Now that I think about it, it was the time of the crime. The princess went out of the palace privately to worry that the saint would blame her, so she asked Hu Zhou to keep it secret, who knew that this dog slave was brainless, and he was about to be beheaded, and he refused to say it, so the princess sent the slave to explain one or two to Lord Shangshu. Lin Bao said in one breath.
There is only one princess in the whole Lanz.
Princess Linglong, Zhu Lingyue.
Queen Zhou gave birth to a total of two daughters, the eldest princess died early, and Zhu Lingyue, who was longer and more similar to the queen, said that it was not an exaggeration to collect thousands of favors.
The princess has always been quirky, but Nima asked Hu Zhou to tell the story? Come, Hu Zhou, you can also tell the official about it! The princess is sixteen this year, listen to the story? Wei Wuxing was really speechless.
But Wei Shangshu still didn't dare to have a trace of doubt on the surface, and kept nodding his head, with an unprecedentedly pious attitude.
It was Princess Linglong who testified, so the matter was really over.
In the event of such force majeure, it should not be too difficult for Zuo Wei to explain to him.
Wei Wuxing was a little bitter, but he didn't drag the mud and water, and released Hu Zhou without charge in the court.
******
When he came out again, the light was not as dazzling as before, but the pedestrians were still weaving. Dressed in prison clothes, Wei Wuxing didn't mention it, and Hu Zhou didn't change it.
So some people looked at this side with some surprise.
"Hu Gongzi, someone is forcing the life of the old slave's son, and the court can't help it." Qin Yong said sincerely.
Hu Zhou helped him out of the air, "You were telling the truth." Hu Zhouben didn't have a good impression of him, so he couldn't talk about alienation and indifference at this time. But to say that there is no mustard, Hu Zhou asked himself if he couldn't do it.
Unlike treating Qin Yong, Hu Zhou stepped forward and sincerely thanked Xu Cheng: "Hu Zhou thanked Lord Chengmu. ”
"You don't even know who you have suffered for, so why thank me." Xu Cheng said gently.
Hu Zhou, who saw Xu Cheng leave, was called over by Lin Bao.
Different from the estrangement that he deliberately maintained in front of Lin Bao and Xu Cheng, turning around and walking towards Lin Bao, Hu Zhou immediately smiled, "I am really grateful to my father-in-law for arriving in time this time, otherwise Hu Zhou's little life will be gone." ”
It's not the first time I've felt helpless about his self-familiarity, Lin Bao's immunity has improved a lot, "Do things well for the master, and don't talk about useless." Oh, this is what the princess asked us to hand over to you. "Facing Hu Zhou, Lin Bao naturally wouldn't call himself a slave.
The bag handed over to Hu Zhou has a faint fragrance, and it looks like a woman's thing.
Even if he borrowed Hu Zhou's courage again, he didn't dare to put the bag under his nose and smell it, took out the note in it, and hurriedly returned the bag to Lin Bao.
Although the bag does not need to be returned, Lin Bao is very satisfied with Hu Zhou's cautious and correct attitude.
There are only a few words on the paper, and it has already outlined the image of a woman who jumps out of the coquettishness.
Lecher! Don't think about how to repay the princess for saving her life!
Holding the note, Hu Zhou couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Please also ask my father-in-law to thank the master for me first, and also thank the princess for me." If there was no Zhu Qian, how could Zhu Lingyue speak for Hu Zhou, so Hu Zhou knew very well who his savior was.
Lin Bao smiled at Hu Zhoushang's satisfaction, "Our family will convey it for you, let's go, you can do it yourself." ”
******
At Li Zhi's insistence, Hu Zhou stepped over the brazier before entering Xiaguang Taobao, and dusted his body indiscriminately with willow branches dipped in water, saying that he could get rid of bad luck.
The atmosphere of Xiaguang Taobao is very good, and Hu Zhou can't say anything different for a while.
