Chapter 60: Zhao Li's repentance

Song Ruilong felt like he had eaten honey in his heart, and said, "Thank you, Sister Rong, for your understanding." I think one day, I'll be fine. ”

Song Ruilong hid his emotions and added: "Also, if no one finds that word, this Liu girl's grievances may never get Zhaoxue." ”

Zhang Meixian suddenly realized: "Oh, it turns out that this Liu girl is really thoughtful, but if it weren't for me, a stinky boy who judges the case like a god, then Liu Piaofu's grievances will be buried in this world forever." ”

After Zhang Meixian said this, her eyes suddenly flashed, and she said, "Long'er, I want to ask you, if you say that if this person commits suicide by drinking arsenic, will she drink all the arsenic potion to her neck and her chest?" ”

Song Ruilong didn't know what Zhang Meixian's purpose was in asking this question, and said: "I've heard that some people like to drink in big gulps when they drink, and finally let a lot of wine spill on their necks and flow down their chests, and I have never heard of anyone drinking arsenic flowing down their necks." ”

Zhang Meixian said: "For example, that person originally wanted to drink arsenic to commit suicide, but in the end, when he drank arsenic, because he felt that the taste of arsenic was too unpleasant, he spit out arsenic?" ”

Song Ruilong said: "Since that person chose to commit suicide, it is impossible for him to spit out the arsenic, even if it is unpleasant, he will swallow it." ”

Zhang Meixian said: "This is strange, why is a large amount of arsenic residue found on Liu Piaofu's neck and clothes on his chest?" ”

Song Ruilong was surprised and said, "What? Is there a lot of arsenic residue in the chest of the willow fluttering? ”

"Exactly."

Song Ruilong said excitedly: "It is likely that someone is using the poison of arsenic to fill willow fluttering, and willow fluttering is unwilling to drink, so she vomited out the arsenic." ”

Zhang Meixian said: "What you said is all you are speculating, the arsenic on Liu Piaofu's chest does not prove that Liu Piaofu's arsenic was poured down." ”

Su Xianrong sighed and said, "Yes, because the arsenic on Liu Piaoxu's chest may have been sprinkled on it by herself when she drank it." ”

Song Ruilong handed the one hundred taels of silver to Zhang Meixian and said, "Mother, you can help me pack up this evidence first, and I will go to find other evidence." As for the parcel of the willow fluttering, it should also be placed in a safe place, and if we want to thoroughly investigate the case of the willow fluttering, we must prevent some people and dogs from jumping over the wall in a hurry. ”

"Well, okay then."

Su Xianrong was a little at a loss and said, "Brother Song, what should we do next?" ”

Song Ruilong walked two steps slowly, and suddenly he seemed to think of something, and said, "We still have to go to meet Zhao Li now." ”

Su Xianrong said: "You want to ask Zhao Li if he killed Liu Piaoxu's parents, right?" ”

Song Ruilong nodded and said: "Judging from the current situation we have, it is very likely that the death of this Liu Piaoxu and the death of her parents are closely linked, and we must straighten out these two cases before we can know the truth about this." ”

Su Xianrong nodded and said, "I also think that these two cases can be combined into one case for review." ”

Interrogation room.

The light is dim.

Zhao Li opened his poisonous eyes vigorously, shook the iron chain in his hand and made a wild noise, and glanced at the place where Song Ruilong and Su Xianrong were sitting, as if he wanted to speak, but he didn't say a word.

Su Xianrong said politely: "Zhao Li, sit down." We have already declared your case, and in the case file, Brother Song specially wrote in detail about your meritorious atonement. I believe that the above will also give you a reasonable judgment. ”

Zhao Li sneered and said, "Killing the imperial court official, my hands are covered with blood, do you think the imperial court will exempt me from the death penalty?" ”

Song Ruilong said: "Zhao Li, this is already the last thing that this county can do." A person's destiny is in his own hands, and if you don't do those things that hurt nature, no one can deprive you of your life. ”

Zhao Li slowly sat on the chair with a smile on his face, and said: "Lord Song, to be honest, you are the county magistrate I admire the most, if I didn't break the law, I am willing to give up everything I had before, I would rather be an ordinary person under your governance, do some work on the field every day, or do some serious business." Then marry a wife, have a child, talk to her every day, and talk to your child. ”

Zhao Li suddenly raised his head and looked at the roof, as if he couldn't bear to let his tears flow out.

Su Xianrong was a little moved by Zhao Li's words. What he said is very real, those things are originally very ordinary things, as long as you don't break the law, anyone can do it easily, but Zhao Li can't, he is about to be executed, as long as the official document of the Criminal Department comes down, what awaits him will be a guillotine.

Zhao Liqiang held back his tears, sat up straight again, and said, "It's just a pity that these will never belong to me." I don't deserve to get those anymore. ”

Zhao Li's tears were still uncontrollable, and the tears in his eyes flowed to his chest like a pearl.

After Zhao Li stabilized his emotions, he said to Song Ruilong: "Lord Song, do you know why I admire you?"

Song Ruilong didn't answer, because he knew that even if you didn't answer this question, Zhao Li would tell the answer.

Su Xianrong said: "Then tell me, what do you admire about Lord Song?"

Zhao Li laughed, leaned back on the chair, sat up straight again, and said, "Have you ever seen a prisoner like me, can you still sit on a chair and be tried?" If it is another county order, after arresting me, it doesn't matter whether I have committed a crime or not, first I will be beaten with 30 boards, and my prestige will be killed, and then I will be tried, and if I do not confess, then I will be punished until you confess. ”

Su Xianrong glanced at Song Ruilong, then put his eyes on Zhao Li's body, and said: "We, Lord Song, are heavy on evidence and light on confessions, of course, it is strictly forbidden to extort confessions with heavy punishment, because it is easy to cause unjust, false and wrongful cases to be done in that way."

Zhao Li said: "I found all the evidence of my guilt without extorting a confession from the Song County Order, and I was convinced, and I fell into the hands of the Song County Order, and I had nothing to say."

Song Ruilong said: "Zhao Li, you should understand a truth. This is the county government, and it is the place where the imperial court is the master of the people, not any gang of yours, and it cannot be said that it has fallen into the hands of this county. This county is for the imperial court, the four words above the head are hanging mirrors, this is the place where the people are in charge, so you have today, it is the national law that does not allow you, it is the people of the world who do not allow you, not the county that does not allow you. ”

Song Ruilong's emotions were a little excited.
