The next morning, Kang County ordered the court to be promoted to try the Zhao murder case in Huangyan Village, which was remanded by the state government for retrial. Xiao Jiading has never seen the ancient ascension hall, of course, except in movies and television, whether this is the case in reality, he doesn't know what to do, so he got up early, and first went to the lobby to see the environment, which is similar to that in film and television. No one has come yet, and no one can ask him if he wants to. So, I decided to go for breakfast first.

There is no breakfast in the restaurant of the Yamen, so you can only eat outside.

Naturally, he went to the snack shop of Miss Loulan's house.

When I came to the door of the snack shop, I saw that there was a long queue, and many people were waiting to buy breakfast. And the person who bought it early happily took it out, and it turned out to be a kebab!

Can this thing be used for breakfast too? Xiao Jiading, a person from modern society, of course, doesn't want to eat such greasy things early in the morning. However, he can understand that the people of the Tang Dynasty must have eaten this kind of cumin mutton for the first time, and it must have been a novelty, so they all came to buy it and even ate it for breakfast. Seeing that the cumin mutton he taught to Loulan girl was so popular, Xiao Jiading was very happy.

Miss Loulan, who was grilling lamb skewers at the door, saw him, quickly put down the lamb skewers, went out, and said happily: "Brother Xiao, you are here!" ”

"Well, I'll eat breakfast, but I don't eat lamb kebabs. I still eat steamed porridge. ”

"Okay, please come in! The lamb skewers you taught me are very popular, and yesterday I was busy until midnight, and many people came to eat them. I came again early this morning and queued up to buy ......"

As soon as he said this, the people in line were already impatiently shouting, "Hey! Hurry up, lamb skewers! We're still waiting. ”

"It's coming!" Loulan agreed, welcomed Xiao Jiading into the house first, and then went to the lamb skewers.

Yu Gui came over in the house, nodded and welcomed Xiao Jiading into the back room to sit down, and personally served the steamed porridge.

Xiao Jiading came to fill his stomach, and after eating, he took out the money bag to pay the bill, but Yu Gui refused to accept it, saying that Xiao Jiading taught their family to make a lot of money, this is to give them a way to make a fortune, how can they ask for his money. Xiao Jiading insisted that if you open the door to do business, you can't be exempted, otherwise you will make any money, if you don't accept it, you won't come next time. So Yu Gui had no choice but to accept it.

When Xiao Jiading left, he saw that Lou Lan was busy at the door, so he just smiled, waved at her, and left.

Back at the yamen, there was already a scribe coming, and the clerk in charge of the torture room in charge of recording this case saw Xiao Jiading coming, and he hurriedly came over to give a salute.

Xiao Jiading asked him about his ascension. And the scribe told him. According to the scribe, he, the executive of the county order, has to participate in the whole process, but in the whole process of ascension, he only acts as an advisor to the county order and helps deal with some legal issues.

After Xiao Jiading figured it out, he went to the signing room to wait for the Kang County order.

After a while, Lieutenant Deng came, saying that all the witnesses, the victim's family, and the defendant were all in place. There were quite a few people who observed. As he was talking, the Kang County Order came. County Lieutenant Deng reported to him. Kang Xian Ling nodded and ordered to ascend to the hall.

Xiao Jiading followed the Kang County Order to the back door of the lobby, bypassed the screen, and entered the lobby, and all the officials shouted in unison, "Mighty!" At the same time, he used the water and fire sticks in his hand to pestle the ground, and there was a sound of knocking, which was very spectacular.

Kang County Ling sat down after a few cases in the warm pavilion, and the sound stopped. Xiao Jiading stood behind the side of the Kang County Order, looking curiously at the situation in the lobby. Many ordinary people stood in the open space outside the lobby and watched the excitement, and no one dared to speak casually.

Kang County ordered: "Summoning the defendant!" ”

Several officials escorted the criminal Zhao Shi, who was wearing heavy shackles, to the lobby and knelt down in front of several cases.

Xiao Jiading took a closer look, and couldn't help but light up, this Zhao turned out to be a little beauty, maybe because of perennial labor, the body is relatively strong, but it is not the kind of cropper who is stout, but very well-proportioned bodybuilding, with large breasts and thin waist, picturesque eyebrows, and a little dark skin, but it reveals a very healthy color. Wearing heavy shackles, it is very pitiful.

Kang County Ling had already been interrogated once, but since the case had been remanded for retrial, he had to interrogate him again, so he said in a deep voice: "Sinner Zhao, are you guilty?" ”

Something unexpected happened, and the Zhao family, who was kneeling on the ground, actually cried and said, "The people are wronged! The child was not killed by the people's women, the people's women were wronged, please ask the lord to be the master. ”

Kang County Ling didn't expect that after the remand for retrial, the criminal would retract his confession, and he was furious at the moment, slapped the shocked wood heavily, and roared: "Good girl! confessed last time, but retracted his confession this time, obviously trying to escape responsibility, teasing the county, and coming! Torture! ”

Soon, the official came up and gave Zhao a finger, that is, a torture instrument composed of several wooden sticks, which was put on the finger joints of the criminal, and the two sides were tightened hard, clamping the finger joints of the criminals, and in serious cases, they could even crush the finger joints!

As soon as the punishment was on, the Zhao family couldn't resist it, and said in a scream: "The woman confesses her guilt......"

Kang Xian Ling waved his hand to stop and said, "You tell me in detail about the killing!" ”

Zhao told the story, which was roughly the same as his previous confession.

After the Zhao clan finished talking about what had happened, Kang County Ling nodded, didn't ask more, and said, "Take the sinner woman down and pass on the mother of the deceased, Tong!" ”

Soon, the victim's mother, Tong, was taken to the lobby and knelt on the ground.

Kang County ordered: "Tell me about your son's murder and what you know!" ”

Tong's answer surprised Xiao Jiading again, she just said that her son was missing and found the body, and she didn't want to talk about breaking Zhao's fornication with someone like last time. Kang Xian Ling also felt strange, so he asked: "Do you know Lu Dao, why did the Zhao family want to kill your child?" ”

"The women don't know."

"Didn't you say before that you broke the Zhao family's affair with someone, and it is estimated that she has a grudge?"

Tong lowered his head, hesitated, and said, "It was very dark at the time, and I couldn't see clearly, I guessed last time......"

"Guess?" Kang Xian Ling frowned and said, "How did you guess?" ”

"I saw a black shadow shaking, and I didn't know if it was a person, and when I saw her in the past, I guessed that she was having an affair with someone, but in fact, I didn't see clearly whether the black shadow was a person at that time."

Kang County Ling slapped the wood heavily and said, "Why did you say that it was a man last time?" Just didn't see who it was? ”

"The woman thought about it carefully, and felt that it didn't look like a person, like the shadow of a tree."

"Tree shadows?"

"Well, there's a couple of trees next to there."

Kang County Ling asked again and again, and the Tong insisted that he was wrong, and he said it casually without thinking clearly last time, but now he feels that it shouldn't be like this, so he told the truth.

Kang Xianling's face was ugly, because the Tong clan broke the Zhao clan's fornication, although it was not determined in the end, but at least it had a great impact on him to form an inner confirmation. But now, Tong actually said that he couldn't be sure that it was a figure, maybe the shadow of a big tree, which confused him. The affirmation of one's own heart caused a lot of fluctuations.

Xiao Jiading also felt very strange, because he carefully read the Tong's testimony transcript, which made it very clear that Tong saw a man making peace with Zhao in the field, and she also screamed, and the man ran naked. She didn't see who it was. Judging from this testimony, there is no doubt that it was a man. However, now she said that she did not see clearly whether it was human or not. Probably the shadow of a tree!

Kang Xian Ling picked up the shocking wood, and Xiao Jiading knew that he wanted to pass the order to bring the witness Tong down, but there was an important detail that he hadn't asked yet, so he coughed lightly. This is the code of Zhiyi, which means that Zhiyi has something to remind the county order. So, Kang Xian Ling turned his head to look at him.

Xiao Jiading took a step forward and whispered in his ear: "Why is the Zhao family alone in the wilderness and not wearing a skirt?" ”

Kang County's eyes lit up, right! Immediately turned his head and asked Tong: "Last time you said that after you saw that man running away, you went over and saw Zhao Shi'er naked and getting ready to wear pants, is this the case?" ”

Tong said: "No, when I passed, she was lifting her pants and tying her trouser belt, probably squatting there and just now." ”

?

I used to say that I was looking for pants with my bare bottoms, but now I say that I am wearing pants and tying my trouser belt! It's not the same thing at all!

Kang Xian Ling glared at Tong in astonishment, and then looked back at Xiao Jiading. Xiao Jiading was also stunned, thinking that Tong Shi'er actually denied all the things she had seen Zhao fornicating with people before, and said that she had lifted her pants after seeing Zhao pooping there. If so, the important evidence of the motive for the murder will be wiped out! His heart was completely shaken by his conviction!

Kang Xian Ling was stunned for a long time before ordering Tong to be taken down. It is rumored that Li Laosan, the villager who saw Zhao squatting down by the stinky ditch where the human head was found, called out.

After Li Laosan knelt down, Kang County ordered: "You tell me again what happened when you saw the Zhao family by the ditch where the head was hidden!" ”

That Li Laosan wiped a handful of cold sweat from his forehead and said, "The little one ......, the little one didn't see that person clearly that person was the Zhao family." ”

Kang Xianling's eyes immediately widened, and he was shocked, and said, "Bold!" Didn't you keep saying last time that the person you saw was Zhao? You also called her, but she didn't answer and left in a hurry? So don't you say that again? ”

Li Laosan hurriedly kowtowed and said, "Last time, I said that, just because the clothes that person was wearing were a bit like Zhao's, but in fact, I didn't see her face clearly." I'm guessing. I've thought about it for a few days, I guessed wrong, otherwise, how could I tell her to ignore me? The villain relied on conjecture last time to say nonsense, it was the villain's fault, please forgive the lord. ”
