Chapter 31 The Fatal Story "Naturally, poisoning is naturally counted." Yang Liwu answered.

At this time, Liu Xianda's face turned a little pale, his hands trembled slightly, and he even forgot to deal with the few guests next to him who toasted him.

"Okay, you go on." When Yang Liwu heard that there was a big case, he said with a radiant face, "This official will order someone to investigate, if it is true, the culprit will definitely be arrested." ”

"Well, that's what I'm going to talk about." Liu Ming raised his voice and said, "When it comes to bad morals. If the Son poisons his father, is it intolerable? ”

"Of course!" Yang Liwu bowed his head and said qualitatively: "It's simply a loss of conscience, and it's hard to write." Mencius said that filial piety is the greatest respect for relatives. If the beast still knows, how can a man ignore it? ”

"That's good. My lord, this poisoning case is about a son who was consumed by his desire for profit and murdered his father. After Liu Ming finished speaking, he glanced at Liu Xianda seemingly casually.

Although it was summer, Liu Xianda felt that he was swept by Liu Ming's gaze, and his body was as cold as frost. His expression was already starting to become unnatural, and he held his hands on the table.

"It's just...... What is the reason for this son to poison his father, and what is the door and household? I would like to hear about it. Yang Liwu asked.

"The son has long coveted the wealth of the family and wants to be in power. Helplessly, his father is strong and strong. After a long time, he had bad intentions. Taking advantage of the period of his father's tuberculosis, he poisoned his hands and slowly eroded his body with medicine, making him sick in bed. Liu Ming said word by word.

These words have surprised many people in the hall. Many people's eyes glanced at Liu Xianda. Because Liu Ming's words are too similar to the situation in Liufu.

And several clan elders sitting on the side also had different faces and shocked expressions.

At this time, an atmosphere of embarrassment and suspicion condensed in the hall.

With a "bang", many of the dishes on the main table fell to the ground. Liu Xianda couldn't sit still anymore, his face turned **: "Liu Ming, did you deliberately come to make trouble today?" ”

An outsider next to him also persuaded, "Little boy Liu, you can eat indiscriminately, and you can't talk nonsense." Your uncle is also a big family in Fei County and enjoys a good reputation. Now in front of your neighbors, you fabricate a story like this, which is not good for your uncle or the Liu family. Come, now hurry up and apologize to your uncle. ”

Liu Ming was unmoved, he raised his head, stared at Yang Liwu, and said, "Lord Yang, I haven't finished telling that story just now." Don't you want to listen to me? ”

"You are presumptuous!" Liu Xianda stood up sharply.

"Come on, lock this rebel nephew in the storeroom for me!" Liu Xianda's eyes breathed fire, "There is no growth and no young, and the mouth is full of feces." If you don't treat this bold and arrogant boy, how can I, Liu Xianda, explain to my ancestors and ancestors? ”

Liu Xianda said a word in Liufu, and immediately two stout family members rushed up and bowed to Liu Mingyi, "Little master, I'm sorry." This one is offended. ”

"Who dare?" Liu Yuanzhi jumped out with a thud and stood in front of several people, with a fierce face.

For a time, the two sides were tense and stalemate.

Yang Liwu sat firmly on the Diaoyutai platform, waved his hand lazily, and said, "After all, don't do it." Today is a big day for the official, who wants to find it uncomfortable, the prison of the county government prison is enough! ”

Yang Liwu put on an official posture, but these family members did not dare to move without permission.

"Okay, Liu Ming, what you mean, the official already understands." Yang Liwu raised his head and said, "You are exposing to this official, your uncle poisoned the old lady, right?" ”

"Exactly." Liu Ming replied.

There was an uproar.

Yang Liwu stroked his beard, looked at the stunned crowd below, his face was gloomy, and he said to himself: "Unexpectedly, this drinking place has become a public court." ”

I used to drink with a good mood, but now it has become a trial. Yang Liwu's mood is not bad. However, this matter involves his own in-laws, and the stakes are very high, and he has to pay attention to it.

His expression gradually became serious: "Do you know that this official is in charge of the arrest and punishment of a county?" ”

"Of course I know."

"It's good to know." Yang Liwu nodded, "Then you must know that if you fabricate facts and frame others against this official, you will have to suffer a lawsuit." ”

"My lord, what I said is true." Liu Ming said bluntly.

"Okay, then you said that your uncle poisoned the old lady......" Yang Liwu looked at Liu Ming, "Is there any evidence?" ”

"There is a ......" Liu Ming took out a paper bag from his arms and slowly spread it out to everyone, "This is the medicine residue that the old lady drank on her fair day." ”

Yang Liwu looked at it, and saw that in the butter paper bag, there was a puddle of light brown medicine residue, and he waved his hand and said,

"Bring it in."

Liu Ming carefully placed the medicine residue in front of Yang Liwu's table.

Liu Xianda's back was cold, and he was a little flustered, so he hurriedly patted Yang Liwu's shoulder and said affectionately: "Don't listen to this little devil's nonsense." Brother Yang, this matter is a misunderstanding, let's talk about it privately......"

"Adult ——!" Liu Ming dragged out his voice and said righteously: "Master Dianshi, now the big poisoning case is in front of you." Unfortunately, my old lady, who was originally in good health, has been taking toxic drugs for a long time and is unable to take care of himself. Such cruel things, I believe that the Dian Shi will not tolerate adultery. ”

He raised his head and said loudly: "Master Dianshi, although he is young, he has also read Song Law. It is mentioned in the Song Criminal Statute that the fourth of the five punishments and ten evils is the murder of grandparents, aunts, and brothers. Such evil deeds damage the famous religion and destroy the crown, and it must not be overlooked. ”

Yang Liwu's heart moved, thinking that this young man's words were sharp, logical, and his wording was rigorous, but it reflected the maturity that he did not want to call his age.

He took Liu Xianda's hand away from his shoulder with some indifference, and said, "This official is responsible for the security of a county prison, and now someone is complaining to this official, how can this official ignore it?" ”

Liu Xianda withdrew his hand curtly and stood aside with a stiff face.

Yang Liwu waved his hand and instructed the chief outside: "Let him come to test the poison quickly." ”

Not long after, a long-robed man ran in in a panic, fell to his knees, and said, "Worship Lord Shishi." ”

Yang Liwu pointed to the residue of the oiled paper package on the table and handed it to the servant.

The servant skillfully took out a silver needle from the box he was carrying, carefully inserted the silver needle into the end of the medicine residue, twisted it carefully, and reported, "My lord, the silver needle is black and indeed poisonous. ”

The faces of those guests were different, and several clan elders who were close to Liu Xianda almost fainted.

At such a time when the crowd was full, the unknown side of Liu Xianda was exposed to everyone, so as to destroy everything he had.

Is it cruel? Liu Ming asked himself.

The answer is no.

For such a greedy and dehumanized person, it is not an exaggeration to send him to hell even if he uses the worst methods.

Yang Liwu turned to look at Liu Xianda, pointed to the paper bag on the table, and said expressionlessly: "Brother Liu, this is ...... How to explain it? ”

"It's definitely a rumor and slander!" Liu Xianda's face turned pale, and he retorted: "I, Liu, as an example of my neighbors, how can I do such a thing that is unconscionable? The old lady is not forgiving and weak, so I am visiting famous doctors all over the world, looking for good medicine and supplements. How could I harm my own father? ”

"This herbal residue is definitely not something that feeds the old lady every day." Liu Xianda blew his beard and said angrily, "Liu Ming, why are you scheming and relying on me? ”

Most of the guests in this hall are relatives and friends of Liu Xianda. Now, listening to him say this, it gives birth to the concept of identity. Many people looked at Liu Ming with a resentful look.

"I really don't shed tears when I don't see the coffin......" Liu Ming shook his head and said, admiring his uncle's acting skills. The other party is worthy of old experience and training, and it is extremely calm, if there is no key evidence, it is difficult to subdue the other party. His eyes swept over Liu Xianda, with hatred, with sarcasm, with pity.

It's time......

Liu Ming turned around and arched his hand: "My lord, I have a witness!" ”

"Human witness?" Yang Liwu stood up suddenly.

"That's right, let Liu account room come in!" Liu Ming said loudly.

Liu Shufang walked in slowly, but in the past few days, after all the things, his beard and hair were as white as Wu Zixu. He knelt on the ground, "The sinners knock before the Lord of the Classics." ”

Liu Ming glanced at Liu Xianda, only to see that the latter's pupils shrank, revealing an extremely frightened expression, his expression fell into a state of collapse, and he unconsciously took a few steps back.

Yang Liwu frowned and said, "Who are you and what kind of evidence do you give?" ”

"The sinner is Mr. No. 1 Accountant of Liufu, who has been on an errand in Liufu for many years."

"Oh? What proof do you have? ”

"Sinners ......" Liu Shufang knelt on the ground, glanced at Liu Xianda, and said, "Prove that Liu Xianda, the big treasurer of Liufu, used a variety of poisons to mix into Mrs. Liu's medicine. ”

"Oh, how do you know, and how do you prove it?"

Liu Shufang took a deep breath, gritted his teeth and said, "My lord, all poisons...... It's all handled by me. ”

There was another wave of amazement in the crowd.

With a "pounce", Liu Xianda spurted out a mouthful of blood, and the person fell backwards, and several subordinates hurriedly supported him.

Liu Wu on the side was also stunned, and he couldn't even cry.

Yang Liwu took a breath of cold air, stood up, and asked: "Liu Shufang, do you know that although you are not the mastermind of participating in the poisoning, it is enough to add a heavy sentence to the body, thirty canes and two thousand miles of exile. ”

Liu Shufang gritted his teeth: "Master Dianshi, the criminals know. The sinners have already figured it out, and all this is the culprit of the sinners and they deserve to be punished. ”

Yang Liwu glared at Liu Xianda, who was already in a state of collapse and slumped in his seat. Yang Liwu has experienced many years of interrogation in prison, and he is very good at observing words and feelings. He saw that Liu Xianda's face was like ashes, and he knew in his heart that this thing was true.

"Liu Accounting, this official asked you, why did this Liu Xianda use poison to corrupt the old lady, but did not let him die, do you know the reason?" Yang Liwu asked.

"The sinners don't know." Liu Xianda trembled and responded, "Then Liu Xianda just mentioned that he wants to be the master of Liu Mansion." However, why not increase the amount of death, I am afraid that in case of death after death, the test will be carried out and the hands and feet will be exposed. ”

When Yang Liwu heard this, he twisted his beard in his hand, pondered for a moment, and said: "Liu Shufang, a gentleman loves money, and he takes it in a good way. You used to be a scholar, how could you do such a hurtful thing for the sake of greedy profits? ”

"Adults, small ones are indeed blinded by interests." Liu Shufang cried with remorse in a low voice, "On the other hand, the small ones also have hardships, and I hope the adults will see them." ”

"You poisoned the Lord, and you still have trouble?" Yang Liwu asked rhetorically.

"The small one took the Wushi Powder configured by Liu Xianda, and every few days, the symptoms were complicated, and I couldn't survive, I couldn't die." Liu Shufang sobbed, "The little one has no choice but to cooperate with the other party and do this hurtful thing." Thanks to Liu Xiaogongzi for finding the antidote, this saved my life. ”

Liu Shufang knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Liu Ming: "Little boy, he is really my reincarnation benefactor." ”

Liu Ming hurriedly helped Liu Accountant up, and said softly: "If you can stand up and give evidence, you have also helped me and our Liufu." ”

He turned around and looked at Yang Liwu, guessing in his heart what the other party would do next. He has presented all the human and physical evidence, even if the other party intends to shield Liu Xianda, it is difficult for Shu to go to the sky.

As Liu Ming expected, there were all the human and material evidence, and Yang Dianshi's tone instantly became cold: "Sinner Liu Xianda, what else can you say?" ”

The two of them, who were still hooking shoulders together just now, were as warm as brothers, and now they are like fire and water.

Under the eyes of everyone, Liu Xianda, the future treasurer of the mansion, only felt the blood and qi surging, the sky was spinning, his eyes rolled, and he suddenly fainted to the ground.

"Xianda, what did you do such a foolish thing......" Liu Wu's hair was scattered, hugging the fainting Liu Xianda and crying, "You are like this...... How will we live in the future? ”

Liu Wu's family cried and shouted, and there was chaos in the house.

"Your Excellency......" a servant asked in Yang Liwu's ear, "how should this be handled?" ”

Yang Liwu looked at Liu Xianda, who had fainted next to him, raised his eyebrows and said, "Naturally, I will bring it back to the county office, and wait for the county magistrate to ascend to the court for retrial!" ”
