The prince of the East Palace and Qin Kan have a good relationship, and this matter is known to the world. When Zhu Houzhao first stepped into the lobby of the Criminal Department, He Jian already knew that the prince must be here for Qin Kan, so let's stir up the situation, but He Jian didn't expect His Royal Highness the prince to use such a strange excuse, which simply insulted the IQ of everyone present.

Looking for a cat? It's a shame that he can figure it out!

He Jian, Dai Shan, Liu Yan and others, who represented the three law divisions, suddenly became ugly, Zhu Houzhao seemed to prove that he was really looking for a cat, coughed dryly, Liu Jin and Zhang Yong, who were with him, bent down and looked for them in circles in the public court.

The case must be tried, He Jianqing knew the prince's purpose, so he sighed: "If Your Highness can keep quiet and not interfere in the trial of the courtiers, the ministers can ask Your Highness to sit down and listen, why use the excuse of finding a cat to tease the court?" It is rumored that His Royal Highness ordered that his name was hindered, which was very inappropriate. ”

Zhu Houzhao was overjoyed when he heard this, nodded again and again and smiled: "This palace promises not to intervene, just take a look, Liu Jin, you old slave, why don't you move a stool for me quickly?" ”

Liu Jin hurriedly moved a Taishi chair from the back of the hall and put it next to the presiding judge position in the public hall, Zhu Houzhao sat on it, lifted Erlang's legs and couldn't stop squeezing, his eyes narrowed slightly, and looked at the expressions of everyone in the hall.

He Jian sighed, he didn't bother to advise His Royal Highness the Crown Prince like this, there were more important things to do today.

Syllable!

The surprise of the wood was filmed again, and the surprise of the second moment of the shooting began.

"Prisoner Du Hong. You said that you did not instruct the servants to kill the weavers, why are there so many witnesses and material evidence that you are not telling the truth? ”

Du Hong said angrily: "This is someone framing the old man, Lang Lang Qiankun, not seeing the light of day, the officials in the court protect each other, reversing black and white, what does the old man say?" ”

He Jian also said angrily: "In vain, you were also the parent official of the high court to judge the case. Don't you know the meaning of the words 'there is no basis for speaking'? The court only weighs evidence, and if you say that someone framed you, you need to show evidence. This officer will avenge you. ”

Du Hong sighed gloomily and shut up.

It was an elaborate trap designed to kill him. Where will there be evidence for him to take?

He Jian saw that Du Hong was silent, and sneered: "You can't come up with evidence, but this official has evidence!" First, I will present the physical evidence to you for a look, and teach you to confess your sins and be convinced. Come on, bring out the thirteen standard steel knives that killed people! ”

Du Hong's face was full of indignation, but there was nowhere to vent, the taste of being wronged was like a bitter gall that was forced into his mouth, except for anger, there was only a mouth full of bitterness, which made him difficult to argue.

Xing Zhao who was observing. Zhang Shizhen and Cao Qi'an's eyes flashed with a little joy, everything was as they expected, including Du Hong's sad and indignant expression in the hall, Liu Ge Lao was not wrong. This is an unjust case concocted by him, and it is also an unjust case that makes Du Hong unspeakable.

Qin Kan's expression has always been calm and light, He Jian has already begun to pass on physical evidence to the court, his face still does not see any anxiety, but yawns unhurriedly, and then the corner of his mouth hooks a strange smile that most people can't understand.

The vast majority of people can't understand it. This does not include Zhu Houzhao.

Everyone has known each other for so long, and they are already very familiar with each other, seeing the smile on Qin Kan's face, Zhu Houzhao's eyes lit up, and he turned his head sideways and whispered in Zhang Yong's ear: "Today's ministers will be miserable by Qin Kan's pit......"

Zhang Yong was confused and said, "How does Your Highness know?" ”

"Do you see the smile on his face?"

"See."

"In Qin Kan's own words, his smile belongs to the five elements, and he is full of cheating......

…………

……………,

The hall was silent, everyone was waiting for the officials of the criminal department to present physical evidence, and after waiting for about a pillar of incense, there was still no one at the entrance of the hall.

He Jian was a little impatient, and slapped the shocked wood: "Someone is coming, this official said that the physical evidence is transmitted, what about the physical evidence?" Why haven't you come yet? ”

A young official in a green robe hurriedly walked into the lobby and stood in the middle of the hall sweating profusely, his face pale. He was followed by several officials, holding more than ten steel knives in their hands and walking to the front of the hall, and there were still traces of blood on the steel knives.

He Jian's face softened slightly, pointed at Du Hong, and said, "Show the physical evidence to the criminals, Du Hong, these more than ten knives are the ironclad evidence that you ordered the servants to kill the weavers at that time, do you recognize it?" ”

More than ten knives were scattered in front of Du Hong with a bang.

Du Hong snorted coldly: "If you want to add sin, why bother?" The old man has never given such an unconscionable order, and he will never admit his guilt! ”

Qin Kan squatted down unhurriedly, picked up a steel knife and looked at it carefully, and then glanced at the green-robed little official intentionally or unintentionally, the little official trembled when he saw this, and his face became more and more pale and desperate.

"Good knives! It's really a good knife, use this knife to kill a person, whether it's wiping the neck or penetrating the heart, the knife is killed, who is fighting ......" Qin Kan looked at the steel knife, sighed in admiration, and then said: "If the adults in the hall can answer a question from the grass people, the grass people can persuade their father-in-law, that is, Du Hong, to be willing to confess their guilt and subdue the law, how about it?" ”

Du Hong glanced at Qin Kan in surprise, lowered his voice and said angrily: "Qin Kan, are you dizzy?" ”

He Jian said: "If there is any problem, this official knows everything. ”

Qin Kan looked at the knife in his hand and said lightly: "It's been more than two months since the murder of the weaver, right?" ”

"Not bad."

"Are these more than ten Dao knives real physical evidence?"

"Not bad."

Qin Kan smiled weirdly: "Then, please tell the grass people that more than two months have passed, why is the blood on the knife still so fresh?" Could it be that this knife is the mother's, and it has just been broken? ”

Saying that, Qin Kan's two fingers lightly wiped on the blade, and there was already a little red and fresh blood stains on his fingers.

Poof-cough-cough-cough......

There was a sudden coughing sound in the public court, Zuo Du Yu Shi Daishan coughed the most, covering his chest and his face was purple, the old man is in his seventies, he should be handled lightly, and he can't stand the slightest stimulation, let alone such a strong stimulation.

Zhu Houzhao also coughed loudly. While coughing and laughing, Liu Jin and Zhang Yong behind him hurriedly gently stroked his back.

Du Hong picked up a knife from the ground and looked at it carefully for a long time, and he laughed, and his laughter was full of ridicule. Xing Zhao and the others were also coughing, but their faces were extremely ugly, and they suddenly had an ominous premonition.

The only one who reacted abnormally was the green-robed little official just now, when the hall was full of anger and surprise. The little official trembled like chaff, and his face was as gray and desperate as a dead man.

He Jian personally went down to the hall to inspect it, and then became furious. Shocked Tang Mu slapped heavily: "Where is the person in charge of the physical evidence?" ”

Facing the cold gaze of the officials in the hall, the little official trembled, and finally couldn't bear the pressure. Kowtowed heavily and said: "My lord spares his life, Xia Guan was ordered to guard the physical evidence room last night, and he was bored for a long night, so he brought a jar of old wine and side dishes to pass the time, and invited several officials who were on duty in the physical evidence room at the same time, who knew that I just drank two sips of wine and fainted for some reason, and I didn't wake up until the morning...... It was found that all the physical evidence related to Du Hong's case was missing. Xia Guan had no choice but to ...... I had to borrow thirteen knives and sprinkle them with chicken blood temporarily...... The lord spared his life, and the lower official was convicted! ”

He Jian's face turned blue with anger, and he gritted his teeth and said angrily: "Why didn't you report it early?" ”

"Xiaguan...... The subordinate officials are negligent in their duties, and they are afraid of being criminalized. I also thought that the prisoners in the hall would not take the initiative to check the physical evidence, and they were lucky......"...,

The faces of the officials in the hall were so cold that they seemed to be able to scrape off a layer of frost.

Qin Kan shook his head silently and sighed, feeling a little guilty in his heart, of course the matter came from his arrangement, if he wanted to get away with it, the physical evidence could not be kept. As early as the day when the human and physical evidence entered the Beijing Division, Ding Shun began to think about it, stealing the physical evidence was Ding Shun's doing, and forging the physical evidence was the improvised play of this little official.

It seems that the official of the little official may not be able to do it, and he will ruin people's future and hurt his morality, so after this incident, he should say hello to Mu Bin and arrange this innocent little official to be a small official in Jinyiwei, and talk about compensation.

He Jian was really furious, and he was shocked: "Strip off the official clothes and hats, and take them to prison!" ”

The little official was taken to prison in a panic, and the court fell into silence again, except for His Royal Highness the Prince, who had a low smile, still laughing vigorously.

The physical evidence was dropped, and it was naturally invalid, and the three presiding judges in the hall were like being slapped several loud times in the face, and their faces were red and their ears were red, and they pursed their lips and said nothing.

Xing Zhao and the other three observer officials had gloomy expressions, their faces were unconsciously distorted, and their eyes were full of surprise when they looked at Du Hong and Qin Kan, and they tried to suppress the faint uneasiness in their hearts. The theft of physical evidence is obviously inseparable from Qin Kan, how did he do it?

When everyone in the hall had their own thoughts, Qin Kan broke the silence with a smile.

"Ladies and gentlemen, can we continue to try the case?"

He Jian came back to his senses, coughed and said, "The person who committed Du Hong, is there any physical evidence...... The official has ruled that the physical evidence is invalid, and now the witness is summoned to court, and before the witness goes to court, the official asks you again, do you plead guilty? ”

Although Du Hong didn't know what Qin Kan had done behind his back these days, it was obvious that the case was slowly turning in the direction of good, and he glanced at Qin Kan in surprise, Du Hong straightened his chest and said loudly: "The old man will never admit his guilt!" ”

"Witness to court!"

…………

…………

Not long after, thirteen witnesses wearing official uniforms appeared outside the public court, and Xing Zhao and the three of them, who had been hanging their hearts, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Thankfully, the witnesses weren't stolen, and there were quite a few of them.

Last night there was news in Shaoxing, the wife and daughter of the slain weaver had been secretly picked up, and one by one was silenced, and now the only one who knows and is related to this case is only the political envoy Cui Yong and the dozen or so witnesses in front of him, although there is no physical evidence, but the words of these dozen witnesses are enough to convict Du Hong.

He Jian slowly glanced at more than ten witnesses, and said coldly: "You and the others are all servants of the Shaoxing Prefect's Yamen, eating imperial grain, receiving the grace of heaven, this official asks you a few questions, you must not have a lie, otherwise the king's law is ruthless, and the sword and axe are added, understand?" ”

All the witnesses nodded in response, "Understood." ”

"This official asks you, on the fifteenth day of the twelfth month of the seventeenth year of Hongzhi, Du Hongke, the prefect of Shaoxing, has Ling Er and others drawn a knife to suppress the troublemakers and kill innocents?"

Thump!

More than ten witnesses in the hall suddenly knelt down towards He Jian, kowtowed a few times, and cried in a soft Jiangnan accent: "My lord spares my life, we are persecuted by others, and we have to perjury, and someone threatens us with the lives of our family members, and orders us to bite the prefect Du, otherwise we will be punished with the lives ......of our whole family."

Poof-cough-cough-cough......

There was another violent coughing sound in the courtroom. (Your support is my biggest motivation.) )
