Chapter 54: Debate in Court

“...... No...... My lord, the woman ......was wronged, "Liu Hong never admitted that Zhang San killed him by himself, and the blood from the bite of the ruddy lip flap flowed, even if he was killed, he would not admit it!

"It's so hard-mouthed, come to someone, and be punished!" Zhao Fuyin didn't expect this woman to be so tough, she didn't say a word when she was beaten like this, she was simply stubborn, and ordered the official to take out a set of torture instruments worn with ropes, and she was going to execute Zhang's family! (It is a finger pinch, a kind of criminal law imposed on female prisoners in ancient times, which is very cruel)

Zhang Shi looked at the terrifying torture instrument in front of him, which even had scarlet blood stains on it, understood what it was, and struggled violently: "My lord, I beg you to spare me, I am really not the murderer of my father-in-law, please investigate!" ”

It's just that no matter how Zhang struggled, the officials on both sides still pressed her left and right, put her slender ten fingers in, and pulled both sides, Zhang's "Ah! The ground screamed, the voice was terrible, and the fingers suddenly flowed blood, ten fingers connected to the heart, and the pain penetrated into the bones.

Right here, two people suddenly broke in from outside the door, one black and one white, opened the bow left and right, and one kicked the official who was pressing the Zhang family over, and one of them said angrily: "Who let you torture indiscriminately!" The murderer is not her at all! ”

The person who was angry and screaming was none other than Wei Yan, who had been checking the corpse in the morgue before, he examined Zhang San's wounds inside and out, and discussed with him, and after repeated deliberations, he finally figured out the general situation of the murderer; When he came out and wanted to report to Zhao Fu Yin, he saw that he had long since disappeared, and asked the guards about the arrest to find out that Zhao Fu Yin Shengtang had gone, and the murderer had been caught and was being tried, so he didn't bother Wei Gongzi to be sad.

Wei Yan and Long Tian glanced at each other, and said in their hearts: The murderer was caught so quickly, who killed Zhang San?

The two of them put aside the embarrassed arrest and came to the outside of the court to see the situation, but they didn't expect to hear a woman's terrible cry, Wei Yan suddenly crooked the corners of his mouth, and didn't care if he would offend Zhao Fuyin, he flew up and made a big fuss in the court, scaring Zhao Fuyin and the officials!

Zhao Fuyin saw that it was Wei Yan, and at the same time he was angry and didn't dare to offend him, although he was the son of the general of Zhenbei, but above the public court, he was the Fu Yin, and he had the power to try the case, and Wei Yan actually disrespected him in front of the public, and he didn't take him seriously! Thinking of this, his tone also deteriorated: "It turned out to be Gongzi Wei, you are not staying behind, why did you come to the court, and you kicked over the officials, this is not appropriate!" ”

Wei Yan knew what he meant, but he was not afraid of him, and said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "It's my fault to make a big fuss in the court, but I have important clues to tell the adults, as a witness, I can stay in the court and discuss the case with the adults!" ”

"This ......" Zhao Fuyin hesitated, always feeling that Wei Yan would ruin his good deeds if he appeared so suddenly.

"This clue of mine is very important, it is better for adults to listen to it, so as not to misjudge, and it will be too late to regret it!" Wei Yan reminded.

"This, okay, Wei Gongzi please!" Zhao Fuyin couldn't say anything about him, and he was afraid that there was really something hidden in the case, so he blamed the good people, so he could only eat Coptis chinensis dumbly, and he couldn't say anything about his suffering, so he instructed the officials on both sides to say: "Come on, move a chair for Wei Gongzi!" ”

"No, you don't! This is an unreasonable law, I'm just an ordinary person, just stand up and reply to the words of adults! Wei Yan didn't want to tell the truth, so he stood with his hands down and said respectfully.

"Okay, since Wei Gongzi is unwilling, and the official is not reluctant, the official will continue to try the case." Zhao Fu Yin Pi smiled and said with a smile.

"Your Excellency, please!" Wei stretched out his right hand and made a gesture of please, knowing that his behavior had upset Zhao Fuyin, but in order not to wronged the innocent people, he could only do so.

"Please!" Zhao Fuyin sat down high in the public court, slapped the shocked wood, and continued to try the case: "Come on, get some water, wake up the fainted prisoner Zhang, and continue to torture!" ”

"Slow!" As soon as Zhao Fuyin's words fell, Wei Yan spoke out to stop him, and his very faceless behavior caused Zhao Fuyin to frown again, and his face became more and more

Come darker and darker.

"May I ask what else Wei Gongzi has to say?" Zhao Fuyin took a deep breath, pulled his stiff face, and looked at the officials who were staring directly at him and the people watching the excitement outside, feeling that he had never been so aggrieved for a moment.

"May I ask my lord, whether Zhang San was killed by the Zhang family, but there is any physical evidence?" Wei Yan glanced at Zhang, who had fallen to the ground and had passed out, and asked his own question.

"It's still uncertain, Zhang is only being tried as a suspect in court, and the witness is her neighbor Fan...... What's your name? Zhao Fuyin suppressed his temperament and replied, halfway through speaking, he couldn't remember the name of the person standing in the hall, and stretched out his fat finger and pointed at Fan Rubaidao.

"The villain Fan Rubai is Zhang San's neighbor, and he came to the mansion to accuse the Zhang family of murdering her husband!" Fan Rubai pushed forward with both hands, hugged his palms, bent his body down, and said deeply.

"Oh, Fan Rubai is Zhang's neighbor, he reported it, he is the witness! And the physical evidence is a knife inserted in Zhang San's chest, although it cannot prove the source, but the official will find out. Zhao Fuyin patiently answered Wei Yan's questions, he has always handled the case impartially, even if it is very common for the punishment to be carried out in the court, there is nothing irregular, even if he picks a thorn, he can't find a reason.

Of course, Wei Yan understood this truth, so he didn't say anything more about the use of punishment, he just felt that it was bitter for the Zhang family, obviously he didn't kill anyone, but he still had to suffer this severe beating, and now he only wanted to use the evidence in his hand to save Zhang's life!

"You said that you exposed Zhang's father-in-law who killed her, do you have evidence, did you see it with your own eyes?" Wei Yan turned his head to look directly at Fan Rubai's eyes, and saw that his eyes were clear, neither humble nor arrogant, as if there was nothing in his dark eyes, and it seemed that there were thousands of clues; Wei Yan intuitively felt that this person was not simple, this person was thoughtful, quick-witted, from his dress, it can be seen that he is a person who has read poetry and books, wearing a navy blue robe, his posture is straight, his hands are subconsciously behind his back, his head is high, he looks like an old pedant who taught them to read when he was a child, he shakes his head with a book all day long, and there are words in his mouth, what "Zhihu is also, woo hoo lament......" they have a headache.

"This, I didn't see her kill with my own eyes, but my house and her house are only separated by a fence, when I happened to be outside singing to the moon and chanting poems, I saw Zhang San stumbling back after drinking, and he seemed to be injured; Zhang said a few words to him, the two pushed and shoved, Zhang San was impatient, entered the house, and after a while, the sound of Zhang's crying was heard, and we rushed in to know that Zhang San had been killed! So I concluded that Zhang San must have been killed by Zhang, and she yelled to lure people over just to clear the suspicion! Fan Rubai recalled the scene of that day and swore a solemn oath.
