The people of Yuhang County are also a happy day today. But as a long-term talking point, that is, the money bank called Huitong Bank, launched the news that there is interest on deposits, which is the first time in the world.

Another thing to talk about, of course, is that Lord Feng of Zhixian arranged for someone to rob the execution ground, and the case is now being tried, whether it is an unjust case or not, the people of Yuhang have already believed most of it. You look at the commentaries since ancient times, in the romance, the wronged people were all saved on the execution ground.

What everyone cares about now is how Lord Feng will find out about the case!

I saw that above the public hall, Lord Feng was sitting upright in the lobby, and the plaque hanging high in the mirror behind him was showing that this was a fair and reasonable place. But as you know, it's the people sitting below who really make the plaque live up to its name.

Dong Chao stood outside the second gate, because Feng Manlou did not pursue it, so he also had freedom. Xue Ba was still wearing shackles and kneeling in the lobby.

Feng Manlou asked Xue Ba as usual, Xue Ba said what he had said, as it was, of course, Feng Manlou did not ask about the content of the Jinkui Covenant, and Xue Ba also knew that this was not something that could be said in public, otherwise the innocent would be guilty, and then he would really die.

Feng Manlou asked the charge secretary next to him to record Xue Ba's confession, this charge secretary himself was originally a scrivener, equivalent to a civil servant in later generations, at most equivalent to the role of the county magistrate's secretary, Wei Zhongshu They don't look down on such a person, and the charge secretary is also changed at any time, Feng Manlou is worried about leaks, and today he deliberately changed a charge to record, but now that the case has entered the public trial, I don't worry about the leakage of this charge division.

Feng Manlou took a confession, and asked Xue Ba to draw a charge, and then let him rest on the side.

Oshiji reminded: "My lord, now the plaintiff, Mrs. Xiao, is not present! ”

Feng Manlou said: "It doesn't matter if you're not there, isn't there a confession drawn by Mrs. Xiao, you can read it out to everyone!" ”

The priest had no choice but to do so, and when the reading was finished, there was a commotion in the hall, and the wind filled the building with a startled voice, and said: "Above the court, no noise!" ”

At this time, Diane said: "My lord, according to the law, the plaintiff, Mrs. Xiao, is going to court!" ”

Feng Manlou said: "What, Master Dai doesn't believe in this official? ”

Diane Lian said he didn't dare! At this time, Wei Xiancheng appeared and said: "My lord, you said that this case is suspicious, and you can't wronged a good person, but you can't take it for granted, and you overturned the case that has been closed!" The plaintiff should be going to court! ”

Feng Manlou secretly regretted that if he had brought Mrs. Xiao to the court at that time, he would not be so passive now, and when he was hesitating, a voice outside said: "No need to ask, what the slave family said, every sentence is true, it is on that confession!" ”

None other than Mrs. Shaw! Now no one dares to embarrass her, Feng Manlou hurriedly asked someone to bring her up, only to hear Mrs. Xiao continue: "Since the last time I wronged this person named Xue Ba, the slave family has been uneasy in their hearts, and they have harmed a life in vain!" Now that the Lord has retried this case, it is also a chance for the slave family to make corrections, and the slave family will bring the truth from the truth! ”

Immediately afterwards, Mrs. Xiao said it again, exactly the same as the confession obtained by Feng Manlou.

Feng Manlou asked, "Who instructed you to wronged Xue Ba and make a false confession?" ”

Mrs. Xiao said: "The person who commanded the slave family is the slave family!" The slave family said that he would teach him a lesson, and if he was not deterred, those Xiao juniors would come to harass Xiao Mansion in the future. So the slave agreed. It's just that it harms people's lives in vain, and the slave family doesn't want to go. I have always been condemned by my conscience, so I took the initiative to learn about this case today! ”

According to the legal procedure, since the plaintiff has changed his confession and is no longer pursued, he can naturally not be pursued, and at this time, Xue Ba can be acquitted. Those onlookers couldn't get enough of it, and this Mrs. Xiao was too easy to change her confession.

At this moment, Xiao Huan hurriedly said: "Lord Wei, please be sure to call the shots for my wife, he must be threatened by Lord Feng when he says this!" The slave family has something to say? ”

The people who were watching the trial outside were stunned, this Xiao Huan was Mrs. Xiao's maid, and now it was actually different from Mrs. Xiao's words, and they suddenly became curious, it seems that the case is not as simple as imagined.

Wei Zhongshu said to Feng Manlou: "My lord, as a county seat, I naturally have the right to intervene in this case, and this case was also tried by a lower official before. I want to ask my lord, is this what Xiao Huan said, whether it is true, and is also one of the witnesses in this case, can you let her say the situation at the time of the case again! ”

Feng Manlou had already expected this result in his heart, this is right, now they should find ways to prevent themselves from solving the case, and they also know that the key to the case is on this Xiao Huan.

Feng Manlou seemed to have already made up his mind and smiled slightly: "Yes!" ”

After speaking, he slapped the shocked wood, suppressed the voice of the scene, and asked, "Who is kneeling in the hall?" ”

Xiao Huan hurriedly replied: "Back to the adult, the villain is the maid of Mrs. Xiao of the Xiao Mansion, named Xiao Huan!" ”

This is the official trial of the case, so the court is also very quiet!

Feng Manlou asked, "Do you know about this case?" Why don't you recruit it truthfully? ”

Xiao Huan agreed, and said it again. Feng Manlou felt very familiar, and Xiao Huan's words were exactly the same, and he suddenly felt strange.

After Xiao Huan finished speaking, Wei Zhongshu was secretly proud in his heart, and smiled at Feng Manlou. When Feng Manlou saw Wei Zhongshu's appearance, he was angry.

"Smack", only to hear Feng Manlou slap the startled wood fiercely, and shouted: "Xiao Huan, do you dare to say it again!" ”

That Xiao Huan was also taken aback, thinking that Feng Manlou was going to order torture, but he asked himself to say it again, so he said what he just said again.

After listening to it this time, Feng Manlou finally knew that it turned out that Xiao Huan's words had been recited, and there must be a draft. Thinking of this, he smiled at Wei Zhongshu, but he didn't expect Wei Zhongshu to look at himself with a smile, although his face was trying his best to hide his panic, but his eyes were full of joy. Suddenly made Feng Manlou puzzled.

"Xiao Huan, what you just said, are you sure you are not mistaken?" Feng Manlou asked.

Xiao Huan nodded hurriedly.

"Am I not mistaken?"

"Lord Hui, is it true that you are not mistaken?"

"Not a word wrong?"

"Yes, not a word wrong!"

Feng Manlou's face changed: "This official asks you again, are you sure you haven't remembered a word?" ”

Xiao Huan hurriedly said: "Back to the adult, the villain really didn't remember a word!" ”

As soon as this sentence was spoken, those who reacted a little faster already understood what was going on, and the maid of feelings was recited like an endorsement.

Feng Manlou slapped the hall in shock, and shouted: "The bold maid dares to frame the master, are you guilty?" ”

Xiao Huan hurriedly said: "The villain doesn't know! ”

Feng Manlou smiled: "I don't know!" Your confession has obviously been recited, and the official asked you several times, and you said that you did not remember a word, and it was clearly a lie to deceive the official! After saying that, he turned to the priest and said, "Go and get the case file!" ”

After a while, the file was presented, but I saw that Xiao Huan's confession in the past was exactly the same as today!

Feng Manlou asked: "Everyone, please see, this Xiao Huan is clearly instructed by someone to give false testimony, the confessions are all exactly the same, a month has passed, and the confessions are exactly the same!" This is clearly false, and it is not as good as the truth, who is the mastermind behind this! ”

Xiao Huan's face was suddenly startled, and there was no blood on his pale face, but he still said in his mouth: "Back to my lord, the villain didn't lie, the truth is true!" ”

Feng Manlou was angry and said: "This official hates torture to extract confessions the most, because when he uses a big punishment, it is inevitable that he will be beaten into a trick!" However, for a brutal person like you, this official doesn't care about using heavy punishment! ”

When Xiao Huan heard this, he hurriedly said: "My lord, what the villain said is true!" The villain is wronged! ”

Feng Manlou said with a smile: "Giving perjury for others in court has already violated the criminal law of the Great Song Dynasty, and now it is too late to repent, and this official will not be held accountable!" But if you dare to conceal the truth, you will be punished! ”

Xiao Huan was about to hesitate, but he heard a burst of coughing outside the second hall, as if he had a signal, and hurriedly said: "Adult, villain tell the truth, don't be punished!" Don't be tortured! ”

Feng Manlou also knows that since such a woman can be bought by money, of course she is a person who is greedy for money and afraid of death, as long as she is tortured to extract a confession, she can take a confession, of course, Feng Manlou also knows that this is no way out. Because of today's situation, it is already difficult for me to ride a tiger, and all this is still the same Diane!

Thinking of Diane, Feng Manlou glanced in Diane's direction, but saw Diane's natural appearance.

This coughing sound not only attracted Xiao Huan's attention, but also Feng Manlou's attention. However, Xiao Huan's testimony quickly drew Feng Manlou's attention back.

It turned out that Xiao Huan was also instructed by Xiao Zhang, in order to frame Xue Ba!

The case is in plain sight! The crowd watching the trial immediately cheered, and Lord Feng successfully turned over another unjust case! I don't know who took the lead in shouting: "Feng Qingtian!" ”

Immediately, the crowd cheered! Feng Manlou's heart was dark for a while, and there seemed to be an invisible hand behind him, controlling everything, but he had to follow this hand, and he felt a burst of fear in his heart!

In the end, Feng Manlou announced the verdict: Mrs. Xiao was exempted from punishment because she took the initiative to admit it, and she will not be investigated! However, it is necessary to bear Xue Ba's medical expenses and compensate for the loss of five dollars! And the maid Xiao Huan, because of her serious behavior, framed others and gave perjury in court, but in view of the fact that she finally admitted that she told the truth, she was given a light sentence and sentenced to half a year in prison, and her crime was offset by a fine!

A homicide case, in the end, only some money was compensated!

Just as everyone was cheering, Feng Manlou returned to the back hall and fell into deep thought, this case is full of weirdness!
