Chapter 977 - Retracting Confession (Third Update)
"Han Ren, what Liu Er said is the truth." After the medicine shop doctor was tortured, Xie Muen raised his head and glanced coldly at the medicine shop doctor who was lying on the ground and snorted, and then quietly shouted to Han Ren, the pharmacy apprentice who was kneeling among the witnesses.
"This ......" Han Ren couldn't help but look a little at a loss when he heard this, he didn't know what to do, and large beads of sweat flowed down his cheeks.
Liu Er's sudden appearance and the beating of the doctor in the pharmacy made him feel a great shock, and he couldn't decide how to answer Xie Muen's question for a while.
In fact, Han Ren felt that he was simply unlucky, originally he could have been out of school last year and could return to his hometown town to open a small clinic, but who would have thought that he would encounter the case of Butcher Wang, so that he still has to stay in Lin'an County, God knows when he will be able to get out of Butcher Wang's case.
"Han Ren, what do you want when the official asks you?" Seeing that Han Ren was speechless for a while, Xie Muen's face sank, and he slapped the startled wood hard and asked loudly, "Yes, yes, no, what's so difficult?" ”
"Gift...... Lord Yu, Liu ...... What Liu Er said is true, and he should ...... At that time, Xiao ...... When the villain saw the king butcher, he was foaming at the mouth and was already ...... I was speechless. ”
Being frightened by Xie Muen like this, Han Ren suddenly came back to his senses, he must be a shrewd person to be an apprentice in the medicine shop, and when he saw the posture of the court trial, he knew that the situation was not good, so he immediately made a decision and said to Xie Muen in a voice, "No...... But the villain doctor ...... I've only learned a little bit of medicine...... Fur, not ...... I don't know what the condition of the king butcher is...... How, exactly! ”
Han Ren's words can be said to have put his responsibility on the whole way, anyway, he is just an apprentice who has not yet been a teacher, and he can't treat patients, so how sick Butcher Wang is is naturally determined by the doctor of the pharmacy.
Although the doctor of the pharmacy is Han Ren's master, but now that it is a matter of life and death, Han Ren can't lie in front of the court and fold himself in, so he decided to tell what happened at that time, as for what disease the butcher Wang suffered, he had his own pharmacy doctor to diagnose it.
"You sue the official, he is telling the truth?" Hearing this, Xie Muen couldn't help but look at the doctor of the pharmacy who was lying on the ground moaning, and asked in a deep voice.
"Decisive ...... There is no such thing, the king...... The king butcher only occasionally felt the wind and cold, how could he ...... How can you not speak? In ...... Under the diagnosis, he ...... He just needs to lie ...... Bed rest...... Just rest. Hearing this, the doctor of the pharmacy endured the pain in his buttocks, and said intermittently, when things got to this point, he naturally had to grit his teeth and hold on, otherwise he would suffer in vain.
Seeing this, Li Yuntian couldn't help but shake his head secretly, the doctor of the pharmacy didn't die if he didn't know the heart of the Yellow River, couldn't he see the situation in the hall now, and he couldn't even see the eyesight of an apprentice!
"Wang Jiu, this official asks you, how sick Wang Qi was at that time, was he bedridden and unable to speak, or was he just a little unwell and just bed rested!" Xie Muen knew that the doctor of the pharmacy wanted to resist to the end, so he ignored him after sneering, and turned to Wang Jiu, who was kneeling beside him, and asked.
"Big ...... Adults, villains ...... Seventh Brother and ...... It's fine, and it's ...... There is no such thing as being bedridden. Wang Jiu's face changed a few times, and he reached out to wipe the sweat rolling down his forehead and replied, in his opinion, as long as the doctor of the pharmacy insisted that Wang Butcher's condition was not a big problem, then there was no way for others to take this matter.
"Are you sure that the king butcher died of poisoning?" Xie Muen glanced at Wang Jiu, then looked at the servant on the side, and asked in a deep voice.
"Gift...... Your Excellency, when ...... At that time, the weather was hot when the villain was autopsied...... When it's hot, or ...... Maybe it's because of the king...... The body of the king butcher was ...... Impact, small ...... The villain now thinks about it, no ...... It is impossible to determine the exact death of the king butcher...... Death. ”
Hearing Xie Muen call his name, he came back to his senses in a daze, and after his face was cloudy for a while, he bowed to Xie Muen and said.
Rumble!
As soon as this remark came out, there was an uproar inside and outside the hall, the reason why the Liu family was identified as poisoning her husband Wang Butcher was because of the autopsy report made at that time, but now he actually said that he could not determine the true cause of death of Wang Butcher, which made everyone feel unbelievable.
Bai Dezhang's body shook and almost fell to the ground, he never expected that the most critical act would be retracted in court, which was the violent death of the butcher of Wang Set off a new wave.
After hearing the answer, Liu Shi, who was kneeling there with his head bowed, couldn't help but raise his head, and a bright look flashed in his numb eyes, since the death of the Wang Butcher, she heard the good news for the first time, which means that the death of the Wang Butcher is still a mystery to be solved.
Zhao Fu and other officials of the Zhejiang Provincial Envoy Department and the Prosecutor's Department had shocked expressions on their faces, and they were unable to sit at ease one by one, as the most crucial evidence in the case of the violent death of Wang Butcher had now been overturned, and their previous court trials that found Liu Qing and Liu guilty were particularly ridiculous.
Liu Qing stared at Qi Zuo with wide eyes at this time, he was very surprised that Qi Zuo would suddenly change his words, didn't Qi Zuo know that he was responsible? This made him hard to believe for a while.
Liu Sujuan's face was filled with excitement, her hands were clasped in front of her chest, she found that since Li Yuntian came, the situation in the lobby had suddenly turned over, and gradually became favorable to Liu Qing, so that Liu Qing's clearing of the charge was just around the corner.
Compared with the crowd at the scene, the psychological impact of those witnesses kneeling in the lobby was undoubtedly huge, and the original pretense was the most solid evidence, after all, at the time of the autopsy, only the pretended to know the specific situation, but who would have thought that the hypothetical would suddenly retract the confession, which caught those witnesses off guard.
In fact, this is a helpless move, since Wang has exposed the money he hid in his home, those servants will definitely be able to find it out, and he will not be able to explain the source of the money at that time, it is better to leave a way back for himself now.
"Zhang Wu, this official asks you again, do you clearly remember that Liu Qing bought arsenic from you?" In the puzzled eyes of everyone, Xie Muen looked at Zhang Wu, the shopkeeper of the pharmacy in other counties who was kneeling among the witnesses, and asked expressionlessly.
"Gift...... Adult, little ...... The villain does remember to be ...... It's arsenic bought by Liu Juren, no...... You can't go wrong. Zhang Wuzheng was shocked and suddenly reversed his confession, and suddenly heard Xie Muen ask him and trembled in fright, hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth, and nodded heavily to Xie Muen.
Zhang Wu had to grit his teeth and insist, he collected more than 500 taels of hush money back and forth, and used the silver to buy an industry, once something happened, those industries would fly.
Not only that, Zhang Wu still has a trace of luck in his heart, thinking that even if he retracts his confession, it is not a big deal, anyway, Wang Butcher has already turned into a pile of dry bones, and the real cause of death is impossible to verify, as long as others insist on not letting go, then Xie Muen has no choice
"Humph!" Unexpectedly, unlike treating other witnesses, Xie Muen sneered after hearing this, glared at Zhang Wu and asked, "Zhang Wu, according to this official, you have never entered arsenic before in your pharmacy due to cold business, and judging from the file, the arsenic you entered this time was only sold to Liu Qing, how do you explain this?" ”
"Adult, the villain is precisely because the business is cold, so he wants to open a more financial road, that year deliberately into arsenic, although the customer needs less arsenic but the period is very profitable."
After more than a dozen court trials, Zhang Wu had already answered Xie Muen's questions fluently, so he said in an orderly manner, "If you don't believe it, you can check the account books in the villain's shop." ”
"Okay, you Diao Min, do you think that this official has nothing to do with you?" Xie Muen sneered when he heard this, glared at Zhang Wu and said, "The opportunity has already been given to you, since you are stubborn, then don't blame the official Wang Farushan later!" ”
Facing Xie Muen's sudden reprimand, Zhang Wu was startled, and his face became pale with a brush, and he didn't know why Xie Muen was so strict with him.
The reason why Xie Muen is like this is because Zhang Wu is ignorant of current affairs, and he is stubbornly resisting when he has already retracted his confession, which is already a deliberate frame-up.
"Liu, this official knows that a lot of things have happened before, but those things have passed, today this official opened a court to try the case of your husband's seven violent deaths, just to find out the reason, if you want to seek justice for your husband, and also want to seek justice for yourself, then tell the official what you know, and the official will definitely make decisions for you!"
Xie Muen didn't pay attention to Zhang Wu, who was bloodless, but turned to the Liu family who was kneeling there, and said to her solemnly, "This official reminds you that this is your last chance, once this official makes a verdict, then if you want to overturn the case again, I'm afraid the chances are slim!" ”
"Big ...... Adults, people...... The women of the people are wronged! Seeing Xie Muen looking at her with a stern expression, Liu Shi stayed for a moment, and then burst out into a terrible cry in her throat, kowtowed to Xie Muen, and cried loudly, "The husband of the people's woman, Wang Qi, died of a sudden illness, but they insisted that it was the people's woman and Liu Juren who conspired to poison Wang Qi. ”
Hearing this, there was a commotion inside and outside the hall, and people whispered in surprise, if they had stayed before, they would definitely think that the Liu family was lying, but after the previous court trial, everyone had realized that Butcher Wang might really have died of a sudden illness.
Bai Dezhang saw that Liu had also retracted his confession, and his heart was suddenly hit hard, and his body shook and collapsed to the ground.
Seeing this, the errand officer on the side hurriedly stepped forward to help Bai Dezhang, only to see Bai Dezhang's face pale, sweating profusely, and shaking all over his body, as if he was seriously ill.
"Bai Zhixian, you sue the official, how did you try this case at that time, and you dared to make assertions without even figuring out the source of the autopsy and arsenic!" Xie Muen knew that Bai Dezhang was frightened, so he sneered, looked at Bai Dezhang who was sitting on the ground and said.
