Chapter 135: Interrogation of the Suspect
Although Cheng Yuanzhen felt that Liang Xingfa was very hateful, he had to ask Liang Xingfa in a sincere tone to find out the real murderer for him, and then avenge his dead son.
Liang Xingfa said to Cheng Yuanzhen: "I know what to do, and I don't need you to point fingers here." ”
The coroner turned Cheng Shui's body over and over again and then said to Liang Xingfa: "There is not a single wound on this person's body, and he was not killed by someone else." but died of anger and blood. ”
Everyone listened to the coroner's words and thought it was incredible. In this way, then this Cheng Yuanzhen was not murdered by others, but he couldn't adjust his breath and died by himself.
Cheng Yuanzhen was immediately furious when he heard this conclusion, and he shouted that there must be a murderer, otherwise how could his son die for no reason. He didn't think it was enough to get angry there, and pointed the finger at the coroner, saying that the coroner was not professional at all, and he made such an epilogue in a daze. He also told the coroner to get out.
The coroner is soft-spoken, but also dignified. He yelled at Cheng Yuanzhen: "Get out." Then he left the crowd and departed on his own.
Cheng Yuanzhen insisted that the murderer was Liang Sheng. Yan Zheng also echoed on the side, saying that the murderer was Liang Sheng. But Liang Sheng immediately insisted that he was not a murderer.
Liang Xingfa asked Liang Sheng to tell the story of the incident. After listening to this, Liang Xingfa said to everyone: "Since Liang Sheng was talking to Xiaoqing before, he alone does not have the time to commit the crime. Besides, that Cheng Shui is a man who is even more burly than Liang Sheng, and Liang Sheng can't kill a person in such a short period of time, no matter what method he uses. ”
Cheng Yuanzhen was very dissatisfied with Liang Xingfa's statement. He asked Liang Xingfa rhetorically: "According to what you say, who is the murderer?" ”
Liang Xingfa said unhurriedly: "The murderer is Cheng Shui himself." This is called self-inflicted iniquity, and not living. ”
Cheng Yuanzhen was very dissatisfied and shouted: "It can't be like this." In short, the murderer must be in this garden. It's not Liang Sheng, it's someone else. After speaking, he set his eyes on Yan Zheng.
Yan Zheng was afraid that Cheng Yuanzhen would find trouble with him, so he hurriedly kicked Liang Sheng forward, and said as he kicked: "You broom star don't hurry up and admit it, you want to kill me." I knew early on that you thought your father was framed by me, so you must have come here to harm me. I'll kill you, you wretch. Liang Sheng was beaten and screamed, and his voice was piercing.
Liang Xingfa asked everyone to pull Yan Zheng away. Then asked Yan Zhengdao: "You are also a person who has been a county magistrate, what punishment should you receive for disturbing the court?" ”
Yan Zheng looked at Liang Sheng very proudly and said, "The thirty boards should be re-beaten." After speaking, he looked at Liang Xingfa with a smile, because he thought that the person who disturbed the court was Liang Sheng who was screaming, and the person Liang Xingfa wanted to beat was Liang Sheng. Liang Sheng, who was in tears, looked at Liang Xingfa, and felt infinitely aggrieved in his heart, he just didn't understand why everyone wanted to beat him, he was also a person who had read the books of sages.
Liang Xingfa said to Yan Zheng: "Is it really a thirty-year board, there will be no less, right?" ”
Yan Zhengzhi said proudly: "It's the thirty boards, there will only be more, not less." ”
Liang Xingfa was deeply satisfied with Yan Zheng's statement, and he immediately asked his men to prepare the wooden planks for the execution. Yan Zheng stared at Liang Sheng proudly again, he expected that with Liang Sheng's body, he would not be able to withstand the thirty boards, as long as he died, then Yan Zheng's home would be safer.
Liang Sheng also looked at the starry sky in despair again, and sighed in his heart that this world is really sad, there are rampant jackals everywhere, and it seems that he is going to be beaten to death. It's just a pity that I've never been married when I'm so old. So he took one last look at Xiaoqing. That Xiaoqing still has some conscience, at least not a gloating expression.
Liang Xingfa's men had already prepared the planks, but instead of beating Liang Sheng, they directly knocked Yan Zheng to the ground, and then grabbed his hands and feet. Yan Zheng hurriedly shouted: "What are you doing to get me, are you mistaken?" ”
Liang Xingfa said to Yan Zheng: "There is no mistake, it is you who beat you, because you are also the one who disturbs the court." ”
Yan Zheng was still very unconvinced and said: "Are you mistaken, this is my home, how can it become a public court." You can't occupy my house for yourself. ”
Liang Xingfa said to Yan Zheng: "This is not to occupy your house, but to go to court wherever I go." Who called me the current magistrate? ”
Cheng Yuanzhen was completely indifferent to Yan Zheng's beating, because he was still immersed in the grief of losing his son, and it had nothing to do with him as to who was beaten.
And Liang Sheng's demeanor at this time was very bright. He finally felt that there was still morality in the world, and it was not right and wrong, so there was a glimmer of light in his heart, and he believed that Liang Xingfa was an upright official and would give him back a clean slate.
Yan Zheng was beaten to the ground crying, he used to think it was very enjoyable to play the board when he was the magistrate, but now it's his turn, and he can finally taste it. It's just that he has always been pampered, and his butt is not very strong, so he opened the flower after only a few hits, and it hurt so much that his tears and snot flowed.
Xiaoqing saw her dear father being beaten, and she cried sadly. She knelt in front of Liang Xingfa and begged Liang Xingfa to spare her father.
This is usual, Liang Xingfa can consider meeting Xiaoqing's request, after all, a good-looking girl will never refuse very ruthlessly when she asks you. But he can't do that now. Parents in a place can't be untrustworthy, otherwise the majesty will be gone, and who will listen to you in the future.
Yan Zheng also kept begging Liang Xingfa for mercy. Liang Xingfa said to Yan Zheng: "You said this board before. I wanted to play less, but you don't agree, you want to add more, so I have to fight until it's full. If you keep hurting, just bear with it. ”
The thirty boards are finally finished. Everyone's ears were also cleansed, because Yan Zheng no longer shouted miserably. He had passed out. Xiaoqing hurriedly organized the family members to rescue Yan Zheng.
Liang Xingfa said to Cheng Yuanzhen: "Liang Sheng and Cheng Shui are rivals in love, although they have the motive to kill your son, there is no evidence of murder, and no one has seen him kill with their own eyes." So Liang Sheng can only be regarded as a suspect. Now I will take the bodies of him and your son to the Yamen to continue the trial. I'll let you know when the results are available. ”
But Cheng Yuanzhen refused to cooperate with Liang Xingfa's work, and his son's body refused to be taken away by Liang Xingfa, and he wanted to keep it himself. Liang Xingfa felt that he had already done an autopsy anyway, so he would go with him.
Liang Xingfa and others escorted Liang Sheng back to the yamen. On the way, Liang Sheng vigorously asked Liang Xingfa to make the decision for him and return him to his innocence.
Liang Xingfa said to Liang Sheng: "Obviously. You didn't kill people, and there was no trace of a fight at the scene. You also don't have the time and conditions to poison it. Besides, the water was not poisoned. When we go back, you'll wait for me to take care of it. As long as my closing argument is finished, you can regain your freedom. ”
Liang Sheng had a bright smile on his face. He said to himself: "I believe that the people of this world are pure and pure. It's also my fate to meet a good official like you. ”
However, the unexpected happened. A group of masked black-clothed men suddenly caught up from behind, grabbed Liang Sheng and ran. Liang Xingfa and the others had already run away when they noticed something was happening. Liang Xingfa and the others naturally struggled to catch up, because they were also responsible if the suspect was lost. Just as they were about to catch up, the gang suddenly threw a hidden weapon at them, causing them to fall to the ground. By the time they got up again, the men in black had disappeared into the night. (To be continued.) )
