Chapter 57 First Trial
"Bang Bang Bang ......"
The entire Great Prison Temple was silent, only the sound of slapping reproaches was endless.
Some of the officials who are good at torture all the year round have a very good set of canes when they punish prisoners, obviously they seem to be dead, but their strength is not even good for tofu; On the other hand, the seemingly ordinary cane does not even leave any scars on the prisoner's body, but in fact, it can beat a person to death.
It is a pity that Fei Guo and the others are obviously méiyou those who are perennially proficient in torture, although they have deliberately restrained their strength, but they can put a big man who is a jury and an observer in the Chang Yu w. zhuzhudao "" novel chapter update the fastest. And the arm slows down the rice Luojing Zheng Yu plays the 7 m to Φ waterlogged thrush? br/>
But even though Li Xian was only a weak scholar, even though Fei Guo deliberately restrained his strength, he was still beaten to the ground and sweated, screaming loudly, and every time the staff fell on his back, Li Xian's whole body trembled, and when the twenty battles were finished, he was already lying on the ground, unable to move.
Wen Qin is venting his anger......
Silently glancing at Wen Qin, who was looking at Li Xian with resentful eyes, Xie An sighed secretly, raised his hand and said, "Zuoyou, give me a seat!" The official allowed the suspect to sit and talk back! ”
Wen Qin frowned when he heard this, and subconsciously turned his head to look at Xie An, seeing this, Xie An lowered his voice and said, "Lord Wen, whether the matter of Brother Ling was done by His Royal Highness Li Xian, this matter is still to be decided...... After all, he is a royal dragon, and he must not do everything! ”
Wen Qin was silent when he heard this, and after thinking about it for a while, he turned his head back, obviously acquiescing.
Seeing this, Xie An raised his hand and motioned for Fei Guo and the others to bring the chair and help Li Xian to sit down.
"Thank you, Judge! Thank you, Jurors, for your seats! Bowing to Xie An and the others, Li Xian, supported by Fei Guo and others, sat on the chair, looking at his grinning teeth and secretly snorting cold air. Obviously, the power of those twenty kills is really not small.
Some people may think qiguài, is this Wen Qin so bold and reckless?
In fact, this is exactly what is different from other public cases when the Great Prison Temple ascended to the first hall, not to mention that Li Xian is a prince who has been crowned a throne, and he is the son of the dragon who is now a saint. With a prominent status, even the uncles of these princes and the brothers of the current saints, once they are convicted and sent to the Great Prison Temple for trial, whether they are the presiding judge or the jurors, they have the right to apply criminal law according to the law.
As the so-called [the prince violates the law and commits the same crime as the common people], maybe other difāng can't do this, but in the Great Prison Temple, no matter how high your status is, you have to be honestly interrogated. This is also the reason why the crown prince Li Wei was eager to bring the Great Prison Temple into the Ziji forces.
After seeing that the eighth prince Li Xian was seated, Xu Zhi, the secretary of the ministry, turned his head, arched his hand towards Xie An, and said in a deep voice, "Your Excellency, the presiding judge, this official has something to ask about the suspect, please agree......
glanced at Li Xian, and then at Xu Zhi. Xie An nodded silently.
Seeing this, Xu Zhi, one of the judges' official department, slapped the wood on the table in shock. Facing Li Xian, he shouted, "Li Xian, yesterday you got drunk with your servant Ji Hong, first killed more than ten people in Baihualou, and then killed General Wendong's family, are you guilty?!" ”
Li Xian suffered a big change. was in a state of confusion, and was shocked and speechless by Xu Zhi's question.
Seeing this, Xu Zhi sneered, pointed at Li Xian and said. "The evidence is conclusive, and I want to quibble! Come on, torture! ”
Ruan Shaozhou secretly screamed in his heart, and subconsciously raised his hand and said, "Wait!" ”
Xu Zhi frowned slightly when he heard this, turned his head to look at Ruan Shaozhou, and said unhappily, "What advice does Lord Ruan have?" ”
To tell the truth, fools are all zhidào This time the crown prince Li Wei is going to kill the eighth prince Li Xian, with Ruan Shaozhou's city government, how can he not see it? After thinking about it for a while, Ruan Shaozhou looked back at Xie An and said, "Lord Presiding Judge, this official thinks that Lord Xu Zhi's move is suspected of being beaten into a trick......
Xie An and Ruan Shaozhou are shimeguānxi?
That's the guānxi of the student and the teacher, seeing the teacher speak, how could Xie An refute his face?
Looking at Xu Zhi, Xie An smiled and said, "I wonder if Lord Xu doesn't understand the matter of judging the case, or if he does it on purpose?" How can there be such a question? ”
Seeing that Xie An's words were faintly a little sarcastic, and he stood up for Ruan Shaozhou in a dignified manner, Xu Zhi hated it in his heart, but he also took him in the slightest, bijing Xie An was the chief judge, thinking of this, he took a deep breath, looked back at Li Xian and asked, "Okay, Li Xian, this official came to ask you, where were you around the clock last night?" ”
"It's ...... moment" Li Xian thought for a moment, and was about to stand up to reply, Ruan Shaozhou hurriedly said, "Your Excellency the presiding judge has allowed you to sit down and reply...... You can just sit and answer Lord Xu's questions! ”
"......" Xu Zhi glared at Ruan Shaozhou with hatred when he heard this, but he also went to reason with the latter because of this matter, once Bijing theorized, Xie An, who was the chief judge, would definitely stand on his teacher's side, and he would think about it, so why should he Xu Zhi be bored?
Gratefully arching his hand towards Xie An and Ruan Shaozhou, Li Xian calmed down and frowned and recalled, "Around the clock, the rainstorm gradually stopped, so Xiao Wang and Mr. Ji said goodbye to the eldest grandson and returned to their residence......
"What's going on with Baihualou? Baihua upstairs to the old bustard, down to the wine lady, all testify that the two of you are drunk and murdered in their building! Xu Zhi patted the shocked wood and asked, "Li Xian, still don't recruit from the truth?!" ”
"Baihualou?" Li Xian was stunned, thought about it carefully, as if he remembered Shime, his face was slightly red, and he said in a hurry, "This ...... Xiao Wang...... Xiao Wang has been there......" As he spoke, he glanced at the eldest grandson Xiangyu in the auditorium with some humility, his face flushed and he was uneasy.
Looking at his posture, Xie An snickered and asked, "I don't know if it's your idea or Ji Hong's idea?" ”
Li Xian's face was full of shame when he heard this, he lowered his head and said silently, "Yes...... It was Xiao Wang who proposed ......"
Hey! This Eight Sages King with perfect manners and style will even go to the kiln and eat flowers and wine?
Xie Anxin secretly laughed, and suddenly, he felt a gaze, peeked at it, and found that in the auditorium, the eldest grandson Xiangyu was looking at him with an angry face.
Glancing back at the eldest grandson Xiangyu in a daze, Xie An coughed and gathered his mind.
In his opinion, it must be that Li Xian lost the gambling contract yesterday and lost to the eldest grandson Xiangyu, a woman who has been in love for many years, and he was depressed. After being lost, I planned to find a few beautiful women to accompany me to eat and drink, to relieve the depression in my heart, after all, a gentleman is also a human being, how can I méiyou seven emotions and six desires, this is also human nature.
Here's the problem......
According to the wine lady of Baihualou. At that time, Ji Hong was drunk and killed people with a sword, do you know about this? ”
"Season ...... Mr. Ji kills? Li Xian was stunned, looked at Xie An who was asking in surprise, and said in disbelief, "This is not kěnéng......"
Seeing this, Xie An asked in a deep voice, "Don't say those useless things, you just need to answer the things mentioned by this official." To know, or not to know! ”
Li Xian thought about it, shook his head and said, "Lord Hui, Xiao Wang doesn't know!" ”
Really!
Xie An nodded secretly in his heart when he heard this, as early as when he listened to the testimony of those wine girls in Baihualou, Xie An guessed whether Jin Ling'er, who was pretending to be Ji Hong, deliberately drugged Li Xian's wine. Lost Li Xian, and then killed people with a sword. Now confirmed by Li Xian, Xie Anxin has mingbái a little bit.
The Baihualou incident was not aimed at Li Xian, but in order to frame Ji Hong, Jin Ling'er wanted to let this confidant around Li Xian bear the murder lawsuit together, so that he could do so. No one will pay attention to what Ji Hong said, and of course, no one will believe what Ji Hong said, someone is pretending to be him. It will only be regarded as Ji Hong's sophistry.
In other words, the reason why Jin Ling'er chose two locations to commit murder was to target Li Xian and Ji Hong, who were each burdened with murders, and it was difficult to save each other.
Thinking of this, Xie An said in a deep voice, "In that case, let's ignore the Baihualou case for now...... This official asks you, General Wen Dongwen, the deputy governor of the Jingshi Rangers, do you know him? ”
Li Xian nodded and said frankly, "I've known each other for five or six years, and even made friends!" ”
As soon as the words fell, Xu Zhi, the secretary of the ministry, sneered and said, "Since you are close friends, why do you want to kill the Wendong family?" ”
"I ...... Xiao Wang méiyou...... Xiao Wang ......" Li Xian shook his head again and again with a distracted expression.
Seeing this, Xu Zhi sneered and reprimanded in a deep voice, "The evidence is conclusive, and you still want to quibble?!" Come on, torture! As he spoke, he was about to slap the startling wood in his hand, but suddenly there was a pop behind his back.
Someone took a step ahead of him and took a picture of the shocking wood.
Turning his head following the voice, Xu Zhi realized that it was Xie An who was the one who patted the shocking wood.
Looking at Xu Zhi with cold eyes, Xie An smiled slightly, raised the startling wood in his hand, and said with a pleasant face
said, "Or is this piece of shocking wood a big one, and the sound is also loud, why don't you sit here?" ”
Xu Zhi's face froze when he heard this, and Xie An thought he was talking too much, so he stopped talking.
Seeing this, Xie An continued to ask Li Xiandao, "Li Xian, why did you go to General Wendong's mansion after Baihualou last night?" Was it your idea, or Ji Hong's idea? ”
Li Xian shook his head and said, "It's not Xiao Wang, it's not Mr. Ji...... Just walking, I came to the front of General Wen's mansion...... Seeing this, Xiao Wang also thought about finding Wen Dong to have a few drinks......"
"Ridiculous!" Wen Qin sneered when he heard this, and said sarcastically, "Baihualou is on Zuo'an Street, and my brother's mansion is in Changshui Hutong, Zuo'an North Street, one south and one north, you two can walk casually, you can walk?" ”
Li Xian was speechless when he heard this.
Indeed, although Zuo'an Street and Zuo'an North Street are only one word apart, they are quite far apart, one is on the south side of Chaoyang Street, and the other is on the north side of Chaoyang Street.
Xie An thought about it for a while, and after he guessed that it should be Jin Ling'er who used medicine to charm Li Xian, he pretended to make a big fuss in Baihualou under the pretense of Ji Hong's identity, and then helped Li Xian into the prepared carriage and went to General Wendong's mansion, not far from the Wendong family's house, and helped Li Xian out of the carriage and woke up Li Xian.
Li Xian didn't doubt him, so he said the sentence [walked casually and walked in front of Wendong Mansion], but in fact, this was designed by someone a long time ago.
But Li Xian didn't know the danger, and saw his friend Wen Dong's mansion, and was depressed and depressed, so he knocked on the door of his friend's mansion, and because of this, he stepped into the trap designed for him by others.
Thinking of this, Xie An asked again, "Li Xian, when did you arrive at General Wen Dongwen's mansion yesterday?" Can zhidào specific time? ”
"This ......" Li Xian thought for a moment, and said unconfidently, "At that time, Xiao Wang seemed to hear someone knocking on the watch, as if it was the second watch......
Xie An frowned and reminded, "[Like]...... It can't be used as conclusive testimony! ”
Li Xian pondered for a moment when he heard this. Nodding his head and saying, "It's the second watch!" ”
"When the two of you were drinking, who else was there besides you and General Wen Dong?"
"And Mr. Ji and his sister-in-law...... Oh, it's General Wendong's wife's room, waiting for the wine bureau ......"
"How long is a drink?"
"Hmm...... Not short. It should be more than half an hour......"
"And after that?"
Li Xian thought for a while and recalled, "After that, Mr. Ji said that he was not very drunk, and persuaded Xiao Wang to go back to his residence to rest, so Xiao Wang said goodbye to General Wendong and his wife......
"Nonsense!" Wen Qin was furious when he heard this, and scolded, "Since you have already resigned at that time. Why did you go back to my brother's house? ”
"This ......" Li Xian opened his mouth, speechless.
Seeing this, Xie An thought for a while, and suddenly pointed at Li Xian and said, "Li Xian, can you take off your coat and ask the official to take a look?" ”
Not to mention that Li Xian was dumbfounded, even everyone in the hall was confused.
"In front of the public. To tell His Highness to withdraw his outer clothes, what kind of system is this? What the hell is that kid doing shime? "In the auditorium. Eldest Sun Jing's eyes showed a little displeasure.
As soon as the words fell, Sun Xiangyu, the eldest next to him, sneered and whispered, "Since An has done this, there is a reason!" With my father's wisdom, most of them are unexpected, so my father should close his mouth and wait and see! ”
"Fooling around......" Changsun Jing was told by his daughter that he had the slightest temper. Even if he was angry in his heart, he wouldn't have a seizure in this big prison temple, so he just glared at Ziji's daughter fiercely.
At this time, Fei Guo and the others were already under Xie An's instructions. took off Li Xian's coat, and everyone in the hall was shocked to find that the inner clothes under Li Xian's coat were stained.
"Huh?" It seems that he didn't expect Ziji's underwear to be so dirty, and Li Xian was stunned.
"I see, that's ......" In the auditorium, the eldest grandson Xiangyu narrowed his eyes, nodded suddenly in understanding, and then glanced at Xie An with approving eyes, but unfortunately, right now Xie An was looking at Li Xian's underwear intently, and méiyou noticed.
Seeing that his daughter fǎngfo was mingbái shime, the eldest grandson Jing wondered in his heart and asked in a low voice, "How...... What's going on? Does it have a deep meaning of shime? ”
Glancing at Ziji's father proudly, the eldest grandson Xiangyu looked disdainful and said jokingly, "What? Father, do you still want to mingbái? ”
The eldest grandson Jing's face was flushed, and he wanted to have a seizure, but he didn't know that it was not difāng, so he had to look at Liang Qiu Wu as if asking for help.
And Liang Qiu Wu obviously didn't think about the deep meaning of Mingbái Xie An's asking Li Xian to take off his coat, and asked curiously, "Xiangyu, do you see Shime?" ”
After all, Liang Qiu Wu is a sister in the future, and the eldest grandson Xiangyu will naturally not lose face, the jade finger pointed to the stained underwear on Li Xian's body, and said in a low voice, "As a crybaby, how can you go out in such filthy clothes?" The only explanation is that someone stripped him of his clothes and hid him in a corner...... Then, the man changed into a crybaby's clothes, returned to General Wendong's mansion again, killed General Wendong's family, and then returned the bloody clothes to the crybaby, threw him at the scene of the murder, and left! ”
Hearing this, the eldest grandson Jing suddenly realized, and looked at Xie An, who was sitting on the top of the public court, as if he was stunned.
Seeing this, the eldest grandson Xiangyu was unforgiving, sneered and ridiculed, "Is it nonsense?" Father? ”
The eldest grandson Jing was speechless, his old face was a little unbearable, he glared at Ziji's daughter fiercely, sulking alone, secretly annoyed, he couldn't help but admire Xie An for having such a keen intuition for judging cases.
"So, it's Ji Hong who killed people?" Liang Qiuwu asked in a low voice.
The eldest grandson Xiangyu shook his head and corrected, "It's not Ji Hong, it's the thief who pretended to be Ji Hong......"
"Oh, yes, yes," Liang Qiu Wu also knew that Ziji was wrong, nodded again and again, and said with a little joy, "In this way, His Royal Highness Li Xian's charges can be washed away, right?" ”
Hearing this, the eldest grandson Xiangyu shook his head, frowned and shook his head, and said, "This cannot be regarded as conclusive evidence......
Sure enough, just as the eldest grandson Xiangyu and Liang Qiuwu were discussing in private, the inquisitors in the court also argued about it.
"Lord Xie, just a shirt full of dirt is trying to prove that the suspect was framed, but I'm afraid it's a bit inappropriate, right?" One of the jurors, Chu Xi, the young master of the crown prince and the first assistant university scholar of the palace, shook his head and said.
As soon as the words fell, Xun Zheng, the Weiwei Siqing who was standing on Xie An's side, shook his head and said, "The scholar misunderstood, Lord Xie didn't just say that the suspect was innocent, Lord Xie just said that this matter is full of suspicions!" ”
But hearing a sneer, Xu Zhi, the secretary of the ministry, said jokingly, "Perhaps, the suspect likes to wear such filthy clothes to go out!" ”
As soon as the words fell, Ruan Shaozhou, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, sneered and said, "Master Xu thinks that everyone else is like Lord Xu?" ”
"You!" Xu Zhi glared at Ruan Shaozhou angrily, lowered his voice and said, "Ruan Shaozhou, you said shime?" ”
"The official said shime?" Ruan Shaozhou chuckled lightly and said lightly, "Even ordinary people, the clothes on their bodies are neat and clean, not to mention His Royal Highness Li Xian, who is a dragon son, like Lord Xu's grandiose words, it can't help but make people guess that Lord Xu's inner clothes are probably like this, otherwise, how could he say this?" ”
I have to say that Xie An's cheap teacher Ruan Shaozhou was born as a regular champion in the imperial examination, and his sharp words were not under Xie An, and Xu Zhi was speechless in a few words.
Xie An was obviously in the mood to pay attention to the verbal dispute between Xu Zhi and Ruan Shaozhou, and asked Wen Qindao, "What does Master Wen think?" ”
Hearing Xie An's inference that was roughly the same as that of the eldest grandson Xiangyu, Wen Qin's hatred for Li Xian receded a little, but the suspicion in his heart did not decrease at all.
After thinking about it carefully, Wen Qin shook his head and said, "As Master Xie said, this matter is indeed strange...... But it is difficult to rule out the suspicion that Li Xian killed my brother! Li Xian has always been shrewd and wise, how can Master Xie conclude that this is not a suspicious move by the suspect? ”
Xie An smiled slightly and said, "Lord Wen is reasonable, but Master Wen also said that this matter is indeed suspicious, so it is better to leave the court for the time being and try that Ji Hong first, how about it?" ”
Wen Qin was stunned when he heard this, and he realized that Xie An was asking him for someone in a corner.
Seeing Li Xian's dirty clothes for a long time, Wen Qin nodded slowly and said in a deep voice, "Okay! The government immediately asked someone to transfer Ji Hong to the Great Prison Temple, but when Xie Shaoqing interrogated Li Xian and Ji Hong, the government needed to be present to observe! ”
"This is natural!" Smiling slightly, Xie An slapped his hand and shouted in a deep voice, "Rest for two hours and then interrogate!" Retire! (To be continued.) )
