Chapter 62: Bending into a Trick
As soon as he said this, Shi Tongdeng, who was sitting under Yue Su, became annoyed and scolded loudly: "What is the way the adults say they voted, you voted it." How did you drop the poison on Zhang Xiang and kill him, and you didn't invite it quickly! ”
"I ......" Wei Hanming thought for a moment and said, "I took the opportunity to grab ...... on him"
After receiving such an answer, Shi Tong nodded with satisfaction, then looked at Yue Su, and said with a smile: "My lord, when dealing with such annihilators, you can't ask questions calmly, otherwise where will he be willing to tell the truth." ”
Before this was to be changed, when he was questioning, someone interjected, and Yue Su was already furious. But today is also strange, he didn't blame Shi Tong, but he didn't ignore it, and still said calmly: "Wei Hanming, the headquarters will ask you again, what does the colorless poison you said look like?" Where did you get it? ”
"Poison is unintentionally taken by sinners from the wild...... Appearance...... The appearance is ......" Wei Hanming thought for a long time, and finally said: "The appearance is similar to the leaves......"
"Bastard!" This time, Yue Suke got angry, picked up the shocking wood on the public case and knocked it hard, and shouted angrily: "Since it is called colorless poison, if it is similar to the appearance of leaves, how can it be called colorless?" Also, at the time of the autopsy, the main hospital was at the scene, where did you see any leaves? If you continue to talk nonsense, don't blame the headquarters for being unkind to you! ”
"Yes, yes......" Shi Tong hurriedly shouted beside him: "Didn't you hear it, if you dare to make it up again, don't blame Lord for executing you!" ”
Wei Hanming seemed to be very afraid of the word torture now, his body couldn't help shaking, he reluctantly looked up at Shi Tong, and asked weakly, "My lord...... So what do you think it looks like...... It's what it looks like......"
"What!" Shi Tong shouted loudly: "Boldly Diao Min, in front of this mansion, you dare to speak like this, come on, call me!" ”
"Yes!" The servants on the side were all from the government, and as soon as they heard the orders of the lord, they immediately stepped forward and prepared to do it.
Wei Hanming was so frightened that he shuddered again, and hurriedly said, "My lord...... Moda ...... Moda ...... Let the sinner think again......"
After thinking for a long time, Wei Hanming said: "This colorless poison is a colorless and tasteless dew..."
"Hahahaha......" Hearing this, Yue Su laughed and said coldly: "Dew? Since it is dew, it must be on the leaves, the headquarters is very curious about this colorless poison, you lead the way now, lead the headquarters to see, what leaves can give birth to such poison! Also, if the poison is water, then naturally it needs to be contained in a vessel, so where is the vessel in which the poison is installed? When you were poisoned, did you sprinkle water on Zhang Xiang's clothes, or on his face, and if so, how did he poison him, and if it was on his face, would he not have reacted at that time? ”
"I ...... I ......" Yue Su's series of questions, Wei Hanming was speechless, even if he knew that he would die, and he was numb, he was a little angry, he pulled up his throat and shouted in a hoarse voice: "My lord...... Since you have already condemned me to death, why should you be aggressive, what you say the poison looks like, what it looks like, where you say it came from, where it comes from, you draw up a confession, and the sinner is drawn up. ”
"You ......" Wei Hanming's words made Shi Tong jump up from the chair angrily and shouted loudly: "Boldly Diao Min, I think you are the opposite, and you dare to speak like this!" Come on, call me, call me ......"
As soon as his words fell, he heard a startled sound, and Yue Su said loudly: "Shi Tong! Sit back for me! When the ministry is interrogated, how can you be allowed to come and talk too much! ”
Shi Tong was frightened by Yue Su's voice and hurriedly sat back on the chair, and said carefully: "My lord...... Such a bad people...... Don't hit ...... You can't tell the truth if you don't fight......"
The officers on both sides were just about to step forward, but when they heard Yue Su's words, they all froze in place, not knowing whether to do it or not.
Yue Su glanced at Shi Tong coldly and said, "Master Shi, didn't you tell the Ministry of Justice that this case has been concluded, but why did the prisoner give such a confession, and he couldn't tell what the poison he used looked like. How did you interrogate before, can you tell the ministry? ”
"Xiaguan...... The lower officials were tried according to the procedure......" Shi Tong responded carefully.
"What kind of program? What do you say? Yue Su's voice became extremely indifferent.
"This ...... Xia Guan first investigated and collected evidence, and found that the perpetrator had a motive for murder, and before Zhang Xiang died, the two of them were in the ring, which can be said to be extremely suspicious. So he was arrested and interrogated, and finally the criminal confessed the truth and confessed that he had poisoned Zhang Xiang with colorless poison. ”
"The criminal confessed to murder, and he should be punished heavily." Yue Su said.
"If such people don't have to be punished, how can they be willing to tell the truth." When Shi Tong said this, he also admitted that he was sentenced.
In those years, torture to extract confessions was a common thing, and Shi Tong did not shy away from it, don't talk about him, Yue Su also used heavy punishment when there was some evidence. The only difference is whether there is a certain amount of evidence, and the judgment of the trial officer.
Even if the wrong case is really tried and the person is wronged, it is not a big deal, at most it is a retrial, overturned, and found not guilty, and if it is released, the official who decided the wrong case will not have any responsibility, as long as you are not suspected of taking bribes. For this, it is similar to modern times, the public security bureau arrests people for the first trial, the procuratorate files a complaint after verification, the court pronounces the verdict, the public procuratorate and the law handle a case, and sometimes there are unjust, false and wrongful cases, and there is no punishment at most, at most two dollars are compensated, not to mention that year.
Shi Tong's case was obviously not bribery or favoritism, but in the end, it was a mistake to make a mistake. Yue Su is familiar with the laws of the Ming Dynasty and knows that Shi Tong cannot be treated as such, so he will not pursue it, but only said: "This case is full of doubts and insufficient evidence, although Wei Hanming was motivated by jealousy and hatred as the motive for killing, but the poison that poisoned Zhang Xiang and how the perpetrator poisoned it have not yet been ascertained, and this ministry has decided to retry the case." The culprit was taken away today and taken to Xingyuan awaiting trial. ”
After speaking, Yue Su stood up, regardless of whether Shi Tong was or not, and walked directly to the door. Shi Tong got up and sent him off, and asked the messenger to lift Wei Hanming and send him to the governor's line.
Qi Shijiao followed Yue Su to Luoyang, and now he was waiting, and when he saw Yue Su bringing people back, he thanked him repeatedly, and went to comfort Wei Hanming, explaining that if there was a grievance, Lord Yue would make the decision for him.
Wei Hanming now also understands that it was Governor Yue who wanted to overturn the case for himself, and then he shouted wronged. Yue Su asked him to take him to the front hall for questioning, and learned from Wei Hanming's mouth that the reason why he confessed was purely because he had no choice but to be beaten. The confessions of colorless poison and inadvertently found poison in the wild are also made up under the stick. Wei Hanming also showed the injuries on his body to Yue Su, and it was indeed bloodstained, and his legs were also kneeling through the chain of fire, relying on the timely confession, otherwise they would all be crippled.
Yue Su asked the medical officer to treat his injuries and allowed his family to come to take care of him, a move that made Qi Shijiao and Wei Hanming thank him repeatedly.
This kind of case, compared with the headless case, is actually similar, unless it is a famous hall that can find out the poison, how to poison it, can the murderer be speculated. Otherwise, no matter how you look at it, Wei Hanming is the most suspicious.
However, Yue Su still sent someone to visit Dongming Academy to inquire if Zhang Xiang had a holiday with anyone there. This kind of thing, its implementation Tong has already sent someone to investigate, and there is no gain at all, and the results obtained by the people on Yue Su's side are the same, there is no enemy.
According to the people of Dongming Academy, Zhang Xiang is easy-going, never grudges with others, don't look at him as the son of the earl's family, but he has no shelf, and often helps those classmates from poor families.
Similarly, Yue Su also sent people to Longmen Academy to inquire about Wei Hanming's situation. According to people familiar with the matter, Wei Hanming lost his father since he was a child, and in order not to be looked down upon, he studied hard, got up earlier than anyone else, and slept later than anyone else. His hard work was rewarded, he was the second place in the county during the college examination, and later entered the Longmen Academy, which is the first in the academy, it can be said that the future is limitless, and there is no problem if he wants to raise people in high school during the township examination. However, this person has a shortcoming, that is, arrogance, few of the classmates in the academy can enter his eyes, so he doesn't have many friends. Some people also said that Wei Hanming was very unconvinced because he took the second place in the hospital examination, and he got drunk on the day of the release of the list, and he also talked nonsense after drinking, saying that Zhang Xiang was the first in the exam because of his family connections.
In this way, it seems that only Wei Hanming has the motive to poison Zhang Xiang. Shi Tong was tortured and interrogated because of this, and it seems that he can also tell a little truth. But Yue Su has visited Wei Hanming twice in the past few days, and during the conversation, he felt that Wei Hanming's surname was not arrogant, but that his sense of self-protection was too strong. A child without a father is always looked down upon, which is why he has such a surname. Similarly, Wei Hanming's competitiveness is also very strong, and he lost to Zhang Xiang in the hospital exam, and he was really unconvinced, thinking that Zhang Xiang's family had a backstage, so he always wanted to prove that he was better than Zhang Xiang. If it is said that poisoning people, Yue Su can see that Wei Hanming is not that kind of person.
After understanding the two parties, Yue Su felt more and more that this case was a little strange, who would kill Zhang Xiang with such a vicious poison, what was the purpose, and how much enmity would there be between the two?
Time passed day by day, this day, Ruan Aoyue came to Luoyang with Xiao Hei, and she came with Li Qiongying, Du Shi Niang, and Mu Tianjiao.
Last time I came to Luoyang, the big guy didn't have a good meal, but now that I'm back, I have to try Luoyang cuisine. The family went to the street and heard that there was a very famous flavor restaurant, the store was not big, and the taste was cheap, which just echoed Yue Su's surname.
After arriving, it was really a small restaurant, full of people. Yue Su and the others still waited until someone finished eating and got off the table, and then it was their turn. I ordered more than a dozen flavored delicacies, and the big guy tasted it carefully, and it was indeed delicious.
While eating, I suddenly heard someone at a table next to me say, "Brother Sun, have you heard about the incident at the Longmen meeting?" ”
"Damn, why haven't I heard about it, it's better not to mention it, and when I mention it, I can't get angry. That Zhang Xiang obviously won, but he died halfway, and he fought again the next day. This is good, Wei Hanming, who has already been defeated, even let him take the stage and defeat the students of Dongming Academy one by one, winning this year's Longmen Club. I took 300 taels to win the bet on Dongming Academy, I thought it was a sure win, who thought it would end like this, so I don't dare to go home now, for fear that my mother-in-law will find me to play with my life. ”
