Chapter 79: A Perfect Ending

Not only Zhou Yuting, but Qian Cheng is also extremely nervous now, the reason why Li Yuntian made a move is not only to let Zhao Yan avoid riding a wooden donkey to parade the streets, but more importantly, to ease the enmity between the Li family and the Zhao family, so that the Zhao family will be affected by this turmoil as little as possible. Where to chase novels, go fast, and go fast

As the two major clans in Pengze County, once the Li family and the Zhao family become enemies, then the entire Pengze County will inevitably be turbulent, and the consequences will be immeasurable.

In particular, the Zhao family was the most affected in this case, and the more negative effects it bringed, if they collapsed, it would be a huge blow to Pengze County.

In Li Yuntian's view, as a presiding judge, he must not only try the case clearly, but also control the consequences within an acceptable range and take into account the interests of all parties.

If the Li Qing case caused the Li family and the Zhao family to fight endlessly, affecting the stability of Pengze County, then this case would undoubtedly be a failure.

"Yan'er, believe me, although I wanted to use you to take revenge on the Zhao family at first, I really liked you after coming into contact with you!"

After staring at Li Yun for a while, Zhang Kun was defeated under Li Yuntian's fierce momentum, and looked at Zhao Yan with a panicked expression.

He was in a mess now, his mind was in a mess, and he didn't think about how Li Yuntian could expose his lies, and subconsciously decided that Li Yuntian could do this.

This is the reason why Li Yuntian personally went out, if it was Qian Cheng, I am afraid that it would make Zhang Kun scoff and not achieve this effect at all.

Li Yuntian suddenly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart when he heard this, as long as Zhang Kun was dealt with, then the next thing would be logical and natural.

After listening to Zhang Kun's answer, Zhao Yanru was shocked by electricity, and her body froze there in an instant, looking at Zhang Kun with a shocked expression, she never imagined that what Li Yuntian said was the truth.

At the same time, the people in the square were also stunned by the sudden scene, originally they thought that Zhao Yan and Zhang Kun were hooking up and committing adultery, but now it seems that there is something else hidden inside.

"Yan'er, do you know what that brute did to my mother and sister, I really couldn't bear it anymore to get him drunk and throw him into the river, and he died innocently."

Seeing this, Zhang Kun wanted to explain to Zhao Yan in front of her, but he was firmly pressed there by the two five big and three thick servants beside him, so he had to shout to Zhao Yan while struggling, "You have to believe me, my feelings for you are real, and I didn't lie to you." ”

"Shut up!" Li Yuntian sneered, suddenly opened his mouth to stop Zhang Kun, and said coldly, "Zhao Yan lives in an inner house, has a pure heart, does not understand the world, and was deceived by you, a villain, with rhetoric, and is deeply trapped in the love network and cannot extricate himself, so that he has committed such a big mistake. ”

"If it weren't for your sinister intentions, wanting to rob the Zhao family's property, and carefully designing to deceive Zhao Yan, Zhao Yan would now be the daughter-in-law of the Li family, and the official believes that she would be a good wife and mother. The fastest and most stable update dìng"

Li Yuntian reprimanded Zhang Kun loudly, and said sternly, "Do you know that because of your greed and selfishness, after murdering Li Qing, Zhao Yan, who was bewitched by you, was extremely painful, and has been living in guilt and self-blame. ”

Faced with Li Yuntian's interrogation, Zhang Kun was speechless, because what Li Yuntian said was the truth, Zhao Yan lived in pain after Li Qing's death, and he didn't know how to defend himself.

Zhao Yan raped Zhang Kun speechlessly, suddenly her heart was like a knife, tears were like rain, she found that she was like a nightmare, and now she woke up from the dream, and things are wrong.

"Boss Li, although Zhao Yan participated in the murder of Li Qing, she was actually a victim, she was deceived and bewitched by Zhang Kun, Zhang Kun was ruthless, and he could design such a clever killing game to kill Li Qing, how could Zhao Yan, a big lady who lived in a simple house, be his opponent?"

Afterwards, Li Yuntian looked at Li Qing's father and head of the Li family, Li Ren, who was standing in front of the crowd with a stern expression, and said loudly, "Li Qing has a deep affection for Zhao Yan, if it weren't for Zhang Kun to get in the way, presumably the two of them would have stayed and flown together, and the official felt that Li Qing didn't want to see Zhao Yan being humiliated in public, so it was better to avoid parading the streets, and it could be regarded as the last explanation to Li Qing under Jiuquan." ”

Li Yuntian's words were touching and reasonable, putting Zhao Yan in the position of a weak person who was played with and deceived by Zhang Kun, and people usually sympathize with the weak, so everyone at the scene looked at Li Ren and waited silently for his answer.

It stands to reason that after Li Ren learned the truth about Li Qing's murder, he wanted to cut Zhao Yan and Zhang Kun with a thousand knives to relieve the hatred in his heart, but after Li Yuntian's emotional persuasion, he suddenly felt that Zhao Yan was actually a pitiful person.

"My lord, that's what I mean!" Thinking of Li Qing's infatuation with Zhao Yan, as Li Yuntian said, I am afraid that he does not want to see Zhao Yan riding a wooden donkey naked on the street, so Li Ren sighed and said loudly to Li Yuntian.

"Qian Zhixian, what the official wants to say has been said." A smile appeared on the corner of Li Yuntian's mouth, bowed slightly to Qian Cheng, and walked back to his seat and sat down.

Li Ren not only let Zhao Yan go, but also invisibly played a role in resolving the hatred between the Li family and the Zhao family, and the Zhao family would definitely be grateful to him for a large amount and kept the last trace of Zhao Yan's dignity.

"This official and Li Zhixian have the same opinion, although Zhao Yan's crime is unforgivable, but the circumstances are excusable, this official sentenced her to behead, come to someone, and put her in prison to wait for the trial of the Criminal Department!"

Qian Cheng's hanging heart finally let go, Li Qing's case can be drawn to a successful end, he glanced around at the people in the square, and issued the verdict of Zhao Yan and Zhang Kun in a deep voice, "Zhang Kun is the culprit, the crime is extremely heinous, Ling Chi was executed, dragged down to parade through the streets before being put into prison, to set an example, and wait for the criminal department to execute after the trial." ”

Subsequently, as soon as Qian Cheng waved his hand, the grief-stricken Zhao Yan was sent to prison by several officials, and Zhang Kun was dragged down to parade through the streets.

"Brother Li, thank you this time." Qian Cheng stepped down from behind the table and arched his hand to Liu Yuntian with a smile, his mood was extremely comfortable, today's trial was hearty, it was really pleasant.

"The younger brother is only doing a little bit." Li Yuntian smiled and bowed back to Qian Cheng when he heard this, and said disapprovingly.

"The two adults have washed away the injustice of the dog, and the Li family is grateful!" Li Ren led the Li family to come over, knelt down at Liu Yuntian and Qian Cheng, and said excitedly.

Since Li Qing committed suicide by throwing himself into the river without knowing it, the Li family has endured countless rumors and speculations, which have made Li Ren unbearable.

Since the case was not concluded, Li Qing's body could not be buried, who would have thought that the unrecognizable corpse fished out of the river would be fake?

Fortunately, this time the case was finally clarified, otherwise when the Li family's ancestral grave was buried in someone else, Li Renke would be ashamed of his ancestors.

"Boss Li, please get up, it's just our business." Qian Cheng smiled and helped Li Ren up, looking quite proud, he believed that few people in the world could see through this case, and this case would definitely become an example for the Ming Criminal Department.

Just when Li Ren, Li Yuntian, and Qian Cheng were greeting there, with the sound of crackling firecrackers, a group of people came over carrying a plaque covered with red cloth on it.

"My lord, this is a little bit of Xiaomin's heart, please accept it." Under the gaze of everyone, Li Ren uncovered the red cloth on the plaque and said to Qian Cheng with a smile.

The plaque was written in gold on a black background, with four gilt characters written on it, and the people around immediately applauded when they saw this.

"Boss Li has a heart, but the official is disrespectful." Qian Cheng laughed, waved his hand, and asked his subordinates to put away the plaque.

Zhou Yuting watched this qiē coldly, and a mocking smile appeared at the corner of her mouth, if it was her, she would definitely be embarrassed to accept this plaque.

"Thank you two adults for your extrajudicial kindness, the Zhao family will definitely remember it." When leaving the square, the brothers Zhao Fu and Zhao Rui, who had been guarding the side, hurriedly led the people of the Zhao family forward and knelt down for Li Yuntian and Qian Cheng, thanking the two for not letting Zhao Yan bear the humiliation of parading the streets, and saving face for the Zhao family.

"Ling Mei is also a hard-working person, she will be escorted to the government prison in a few days, let your father and mother go to see her before that!" Li Yuntian sighed slightly, explained to Zhao Fu, got up and left.

Zhao Fu's face couldn't help but darken when he heard this, although Li Yuntian didn't say it explicitly, he knew that Li Yuntian was asking someone from the Li family to go and say goodbye to Zhao Yanjue.

In ancient times, the prison was a nightmare for women, and female prisoners were not only humiliated and abused by the jailers inside, but also raped by the officials in the yamen, which was worse than death.

Especially those female death row inmates, they are not treated as adults, and they can be tortured as much as they want.

Therefore, the Ming Criminal Law has a special provision, as long as a female offender does not commit a capital crime or adultery, then the government is not allowed to take her prisoner in prison, usually handed over to her husband or relatives for discipline.

For Zhao Yan, a beauty who made Li Qing fall in love at first sight, and she was also a delicate lady, the jailers and officials would not let her go.

Zhao Yan is undoubtedly guilty of a capital crime, and after the approval of the Criminal Department, she will definitely have to wait until next autumn to be executed, and in this nearly a year, God knows what kind of torture she will suffer.

If it is good to say in Pengze County, the Zhao family may be able to take care of her, but if she goes to the government office, then the Zhao family will not be able to reach her.

Therefore, in order to avoid Zhao Yan being humiliated and keep her innocence, the only thing she can do is to commit suicide before being transferred to the government prison, which is also a way out of the way.

Just as Qian Cheng expected, after Li Qing's case was reported to the Criminal Department through the Jiangxi Political Division, the Criminal Department recorded it as an example, and his tortuous case and subtle investigation and meticulous reasoning were greatly appreciated by those officials of the Criminal Department.

Who would have thought that a seemingly bizarre case of suicide by throwing himself into the river turned out to be a cleverly arranged serial murder case, and what is particularly rare is the final verdict, which is both legal and reasonable, making the whole case perfect for trial.

As for the trial officials of the case, there is a clear record in the case file: the presiding judge is Qian Cheng, the magistrate of Pengze County, Jiujiang Prefecture, Jiangxi, and the jury judge is Li Yuntian, the magistrate of Hukou County, Jiujiang Prefecture, Jiangxi.

Qian Cheng is self-aware, he knows his own catties, and he doesn't dare to be greedy for all his achievements, so he pulls Li Yuntian to share the burden.

It is a good thing that this case can be appreciated by his boss, but if his boss asks him to try some doubtful cases in the future, then he will be unlucky, and if Li Yuntian is used as a juror, Li Yuntian will be able to go to the top to try the case at that time, and he can escape the "catastrophe".
