Chapter XVIII: Oppression

Besides, since Yu Xuan knew that the second shopkeeper of the single tavern was seriously suspected, he immediately ordered someone to investigate all the information of Zhongyou, the second shopkeeper of the single tavern. Sure enough, it turned out that Zhongyou was the fiancé of Shan Yu's sister Shan Yu, and the marriage was still the matchmaker that Shan Yu personally promised to protect, and not many people knew about it. This means that as long as Shan Yu dies, the biggest beneficiary in the future will be these two shopkeepers Zhongyou. Originally, Yu Xuan didn't notice him, because he didn't seem to have any suspicions, motives, but now it seems that Yu Xuan himself was negligent. However, Yu Xuan was only investigating the two shopkeepers Zhongyou, and did not take any other action. It turned out that Yu Xuan was afraid that the evidence was insufficient, and he was startled, Yu Xuan was thinking that the second shopkeeper Zhongyou must be a capable person, and he must have a trick to lay down the evidence of the second shopkeeper Zhongyou, but now, ......

"The bold offender Zhong dared to murder the head of the family and secretly poisoned this medicine jar......"

Yu Xuan asked the two shopkeepers Zhong You.

"The adults have wronged the little ones, how can the little ones murder their little brothers? Adults should be aware and don't listen to the instigation of villains to lie and deceive! The second shopkeeper Zhong You looked indifferent, spoke in an orderly manner, and blamed Yu Xuan for coming.

"Bold criminal Zhongyou, and dare to quibble, your hiding of the murder weapon has already been discovered, do you want me to send witnesses!" - "Witness Wang Lezi." ”

Wang Lezi went to the hall and recounted what he had seen and heard that night, "...... I wanted to go and see what it was when I left, but there was a large patch of thorns inside and outside the low walls of the tavern, and I couldn't get in. I have to find another way to wait for the opportunity to ......"

"Okay," Yu Xuan suddenly stopped Wang Lezi's confession, "That's enough." Zhongyou, what else do you have to say? ”

That Zhongyou suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed, and Yu Xuan asked him, "What are you laughing at?" Na Zhongyou said, "My lord." Let me ask you, the leper of the king, why do you come to my tavern, and why do you want to wander the streets in the middle of the night. - "I can't answer it!" I'll answer that I didn't bury anything in the middle of the night that day. If it is as he says, then the king leper will wander the streets in the middle of the night, but pass by my single tavern. I'm afraid you want to come to my tavern to steal something, right? It must have been a few days ago that you were in my tavern and I was about to kick you out, so you are resentful and revengeful, so you slander and slander me here. What kind of person is your Wang leper in the neighborhood, and who doesn't know the fathers and villagers in Hua County, in fact, he is a ruffian hooligan, causing trouble everywhere, and doing all kinds of evil. My lord, how can the words of such thieves and gangsters be believed? Your Excellency is discerning! ”

"It's really powerful" Yu Xuan already knew that this second shopkeeper Zhong You would deny it to death, if he didn't have ironclad evidence enough to destroy him, how could he easily bring him to interrogate?

"Dare to criminalize Zhongyou, look at what this is." Yu Xuan took out pieces of rags.

"Little ones don't know."

Yu Xuan clapped the case and shouted, "Okay, since you don't know, then let this government explain to you, this is the ironclad evidence left behind when you buried the criminal evidence that day." If it weren't for the fact that the leper took the corner of your clothes because his fingers were scratched and tied up, I am afraid that you would have escaped from this heavenly law net. I suppose you're wearing the same clothes that buried the evidence of the crime, right? Now just take your clothes and check them to know if it's genuine. ”

Na Zhongyou was a little flustered after hearing this, his face changed slightly, and he was rubbing his clothes to testify. Yu Xuan took out the small piece of rag and compared it with the clothes Zhong You was wearing now, and the complete style, color, and notch were all in line. - It's strange why Zhongyou is still wearing this dress.

I think so; This Zhongyou is the shopkeeper of the tavern, so since he is the shopkeeper's bookkeeper, he naturally has clothes and clothes that match his identity, not to mention that this owner is a large-scale tavern with its own dress and uniform, the maid has a maid, the little two have the little two, Zhongyou has his own clothes, and Zhongyou is a simple small businessman, if he doesn't have such a swagger of silk and satin, I'm afraid that people will be targeted early on, will Yu Xuan almost ignore him? In this way, he didn't have many usual clothes, and he really hid the medicine jar in his tavern, so he naturally wore the uniform of the tavern all day long. You can't always run around, and you have changed your clothes at home and in a tavern so often that people are suspicious. Best, it is most reasonable to delay the time and keep the tavern in the air to hide the stolen goods.

As for why he is dressed in the court, it may be providence!

This time, the proprietor's shopkeeper is dead, and there is a life case, I am afraid that the tavern will be busy. No one has time to dispose of these clothes and miscellaneous things. Which subordinate is willing to have nothing to do, most of them are too lazy, even if they are diligent and too busy to take care of them!

Say so. With this cloth, the true face of the villain was exposed.

Yu Xuan was overjoyed when he saw this, and immediately returned to the position to shoot the case and shouted: "Okay! Zhongyou, your evidence is conclusive now, and you can't deny it. Someone! Put him in shackles. Such an ungrateful and murderous villain will not tolerate the crime of murdering the master's brother, and the people and gods will be indignant......"

Yu Xuan was really impatient when he announced the two shopkeepers Zhong You, but a person suddenly rushed out of the crowd who were watching, and this person was none other than Shan Yu's sister, Zhong You's fiancée Shan Yu. “…… Tell me it's not true, you have no reason to hurt my brother, why are you, why are you......" Shan Yu asked with excitement and tears, pushing Zhong You, who was wearing shackles in the hall.

Yu Xuan began to order the punishment of "the offender Zhongyou committed a heinous crime, and he was ordered to be executed at a later date after the autumn, and now he is temporarily taken into custody." ”

"Wait," Na Zhongyou suddenly begged at Yu Xuan, "My lord, I have something to say." Yu Xuan paused, and then nodded to indicate that he gestured to him.

"Actually, the villain didn't want to kill Brother Yu'er, but it's ......" (Note: In this is a term called "brother" means that the younger brother is the age of the younger brother, and the elder brother is the seniority of the posterity. That's what the little brother meant. )

It turned out that Shan Yu had thought that in November this year, he would sell a single tavern and a dry property under his name, and even the secret method of making wine in Shan Yu's own house, saying that it was because of poor management and helplessness. In fact, the single tavern has always been prosperous, but since the last disaster, it has suffered heavy losses, but after Zhongyou's painstaking efforts and running around, they finally found a substitute for the original brewing materials. But just when the tavern was just starting, Shan Yu proposed to sell his ancestral business, no matter how Zhongyou persuaded him, Shan Yu's heart was not shaken at all. In fact, Zhong You knew that Shan Yu had no intention of taking care of the family business, and was delusional about becoming an official, wanting to become a master and be beautiful. But he didn't have much ability, and because of the court system, he never had the opportunity to fulfill that luxury. But when Shan Yu knew that the current emperor had ordered the treasure hunt to seek the world's treasures, and the buyer had an ancient sword in his hand, and today's saints especially love swords, which is well known, Shan Yu wanted to rely on the ancient sword to get through the relationship and get an official and a half-position, just like his long-cherished wish to be an official.

But this time Zhongyou disagreed, he worked hard to lay down this half of the country for his single family, and even the secret method of making wine for the single family was invented by Zhongyou himself, but now he has to lose in vain to this second son! But there is another reason for this, in fact, Zhongyou has been an orphan since he was a child, and he has been raised by Shan Yu's parents, Zhongyou himself has grown up with this single tavern for thirty-two years, and at the same time, he also watched Shan Yu's brothers and sisters grow up, according to Shan Yu's parents have the grace of nurturing Zhongyou, and Shan Yu married his sister to Zhongyou, Zhongyou shouldn't be so ruthless!

This Zhongyou was really not so ruthless at the beginning. It turned out that Zhongyou just secretly bought the foreign insect poison according to the secret materials he found, and Zhongyou also knew the various functions and uses of the insect poison, so he chose one of them. Zhongyou is just mixed with a combination that can make people lose their memories and drowsiness all day long, but the effect of this drug is very unstable, and it may be all amnesia, or it may only be a day or two, and the symptoms of drowsiness are the same. But Zhong You had already thought of a way to deal with it, and it was best for Shan Yu to forget all his memories after waking up, so he could take the opportunity to help him reshape his life image. But if you just forget it for a day or two, Zhongyou can also lie to everyone that Shan Yu is sick, so he speaks incoherently and wants to be unable to support the single family's business. At that time, as long as the elders and elders of the single family are invited to discuss the meeting, no matter who is elected, the single wine industry will be saved. But Zhongyou thought too beautifully, after all, it was a hundred secrets, maybe it was the result of the fusion of drugs! In the end, Shan Yu died, so he had today's disgrace and imprisonment.

Yu Xuan laughed after hearing this, and then casually threw aside the piece of ironclad evidence in his hand, and the official on the side seemed to quickly pick it up and handed it to Yu Xuan, Yu Xuan just looked at it, and gently pushed away the hand of the official. Zhong You in the hall looked puzzled and asked, "Why did the adults discard such important physical evidence at will?" ”

Yu Xuan smiled again, and took the rag in the officer's hand to the side of the stove for lighting and hung it, everyone was amazed, and stared at Yu Xuan's hanging cloth hand. As soon as Yu Xuan let go of one hand, the ironclad rag fell into the pile of burning red stove lamps. Everyone shouted whether Yu Xuan was crazy or not, how could he burn the important evidence?

Yu Xuan instead had a relaxed attitude, and said slowly: "I don't have any ironclad evidence at all, this is just a scene for me to bluff you into confessing......"

It turned out that Yu Xuan had been struggling to identify Zhongyou without evidence, and finally inadvertently came up with a strange trick to deceive the confession. Yu Xuan first took care of the daily care, took care of Zhongyou's daily life, and asked her to secretly scratch a corner of rags and Yu Xuan on the style clothes designated by Yu Xuan, Yu Xuan specially asked someone to deliberately stain the clothes that Zhongyou was wearing that day, so that he had to go home to change out of a new set of clothes, and the front of the cabinet was the clothes that Yu Xuan designated Yahuan Hong'er to do her hands and feet, and then ......

In fact, these so-called strange tricks of cheating confessions can be easily exposed, and it can be said that there are many loopholes. But it worked. One is that Zhongyou is a thief, and the other is that he has two official words. Yu Xuan just didn't succeed, and was exposed by Zhongyou and saw through it. Yu Xuan will also think that it is true, and it is clear that he wants to wronged him. -- This kind of trick is very damaging, very extreme. It's kind of similar to the modus operandi of a faint official.

According to what the head of the yamen said, close it for a few days and have a few beatings. As for the latter, Yu Xuan disagreed.

This punishment is only an auxiliary tool, and if it becomes the main method of handling cases, it will be the culprit of unjust cases.

Originally, I wanted to give Zhongyou a way to deal with these sour and rotten Confucians, and the business white clothes were the most effective. Finding a way to get him in prison is conducive to interrogation, making him flustered, and slowly using it to deal with him psychologically, and then watching his attitude and behavior. I also hope to use this extremely risky way to find Shan Yu, and recruit the villagers, fathers and elders, so that he will confuse his mind and emotions and psychologically persecute him. It is an alternative way of interrogation. On the outside, all the fathers and elders thought that Zhongyou was the real murderer, and the fathers were easy to believe when they didn't know the inside story for a while, so they put pressure on Zhongyou externally. People want faces, trees and bark, especially literati who are knowledgeable and courteous. If such a shameful person is praised by everyone all the time, there must be his suffering, and he can't stand the oppression and pours out to liberate himself, defend himself, and be forgiven. If it is a fame and a hypocrite, then such a villain is afraid of being punished severely, and in order to seek liberation, he will definitely try his best to open up for himself, and then he can induce the inside story. Now in court, Yu Xuan tried to induce the truth when Zhongyou was emotionally unclear and mistakenly believed that he had been exposed.

(Such acts are not to be encouraged, to the detriment of human dignity, human rights, physical and mental health.) )

That's right. But Zhongyou is really innocent? Yu Xuan wronged a good person. If you listen to it, it will be dark! - That's right. Yu Xuan would naturally release Zhongyou after detaining him for a while. When he pleaded guilty to punishment, this negligence in handling the case was also a common thing in the Xuanyuan Dynasty at that time, and it was the first trial of the new official, and there were some negligence, Yu Xuan apologized and made up for the loss, so he could naturally be forgiven by Zhongyou and the people of Huaxian County.

"Today's criminal Zhongyou plotted to kill the head of the family, although he did not intend to kill the deceased Shan Yu, but his crime cannot be shirked...... Now, according to the decree of Xuanyuan of this dynasty, the government has committed a felony against the lord, and sentenced the offender to ......"

"Slow"

"Wait, the prisoner Zhongyou is not the real murderer of Shan Yu......
