123. Kaneda Su

The mighty red gate, the two stone lions are lifelike.

Dengwen drum hangs outside the door, has not been used for a long time, and falls on a layer of dust.

Hearing that the trial was held, there was a lively scene to see, and the people of Fei County overcame their fear of the government and came to join in the excitement. They rushed up, crowded to the gate of the county government, and made a lot of noise

In front of the hall, two vermilion lacquer pillars are inlaid with a pair of wood, and under the scorching sun in the afternoon, the mirror hangs four simple characters vividly.

After the office, the priest glanced at the lobby, and there was a crowd of people outside the county office. At a cursory glance, there are hundreds of people, and there are many people crowded outside the gate to hear a sound.

Oshiji trotted back to the back seat and said respectfully to Mu Su, "Lord Mu, the people have arrived. ”

Mu Su took the tea handed by his subordinates, rinsed his mouth in his mouth, spit it aside to wipe the water stains from the corners of his mouth, and said, "Got it." ”

A subordinate with a pen, ink, paper and inkstone passed by and was shouted to stop by Mu Su. He picked up the brush and dipped it in ink, and wiped a tiny crescent moon between his forehead.

Smack-

The brush was thrown back to the tray, and Mu Su waved him away.

"My lord, this is ......," Oshiji stared at Mu Su and hesitated.

Mu Su didn't answer, lifted his official robe, and walked into the lobby.

With Mu Su appearing, there was a sound of heads and ears outside the hall.

Oshiji walked in behind Mu Su and sat down at a small table in the corner. The bookstore said goodbye early and returned to his hometown to flee from this place of wrong. Nowadays, the task of recording cases can only be done by the detainees.

"Master Wu—"

Mu Su sat down and looked at Wu Abshi.

The priest understood, got up and briefly recounted the case.

He didn't understand Mu Su's intention to open the trial. The opening of the court trial is to interrogate and sentence the murderer after he is caught, and to show it to the people. Now the murderer has no eyebrows at all, how will this case be tried.

But since Muzhi County did this, he must have a reason.

Soon, the first witness was pronounced in the lobby: the husband Wang Wu.

Mu Su knocked on the shocked wood and said coldly: "What you heard and saw that night, what you did, tell it together. ”

The crisp sound of the startling wood made Wang Wu, who was kneeling on the ground, tremble, and he hurriedly repeated what he had said before.

"You didn't hear the screams or see any suspicious figures when you passed by Sun's Mansion, did you?"

"Yes, sir."

Mu Su bowed: "Pass it on to the court!" ”

After a while, a middle-aged man in a gray robe with an expressionless face came to the lobby and knelt down to salute: "I've seen Lord Zhixian." ”

"Tell me what you found."

He nodded, straightened his upper body and said, "Lord Hui, the thirteen members of the Sun family were all killed in a short period of time. The wounds were short and forward, and they were wounded by weapons such as daggers, all of which were fatal. The villain dared to ask the adults for permission to present the body in the lobby. ”

"That's right."

After a short time, the four catchers carried a stretcher covered with a white cloth into the lobby and put them on the left and right of the servants.

The crowd was silent, tiptoeing inside.

"Your Excellency, please take a look." As he spoke, he lifted the white cloth. Two dead faces were displayed in front of everyone.

It was a slightly chubby middle-aged man with a wound on his chest, and his face was frozen into the last expression before he died.

The other was slightly younger, somewhat similar to the middle-aged man. The throat is slashed, and the expression is the same, but richer.

He said: "The head of the Sun family is surprised, and his eldest son is panicked. ”

Mu Su groaned: "In other words, the murderer took advantage of their unpreparedness to make a move, and then quickly killed another person. ”

"Exactly." The work was re-covered with a white cloth. According to the villain's analysis, the murderer stabbed the head of the family and his eldest son to death in the reception hall, and then killed the second son and his wife when they were panicking. At this time, the eldest daughter-in-law, the youngest daughter and others reacted and fled. The deranged murderer rushed up and killed them and their servants. Destroy the Sun family! ”

[In this way, the murderer is either a familiar person of the Sun family, or a guest of the Sun family. Transparent Bridge Analysis.

Mu Su nodded: "In this way, the murderer is either a familiar person of the Sun family or a guest of the Sun family. ”

【……】

[So handsome! 】

"Exactly."

Mu Su asked: "In other words, the murderer is not only a martial artist, but also a familiar person of the Sun family?" ”

He replied, "Master Hui, that's right." ”

Mu Su turned his head and asked: "Head catcher, who are the people in this Fei County who meet the above conditions?" ”

"Lord Hui, there are eight people in total, and except for those who can prove that they were not present that day, only three people remain."

Mu Su leaned back on the back of the jujube chair and said, "Pass them to the court." ”

The headcatcher clenched his fist and left.

The trial was temporarily suspended, and the people outside the yamen turned their heads and ears. Except for the Sun family, the owner of the case, the topic they talked about was this very young Xinzhi County.

When he takes office, he tries murder cases, which is much better than the corrupt officials who did nothing and only knew a lot of money in the previous years.

After a stick of incense, the head catcher came back from outside the ya, followed by three people.

When the three men came to the bottom of the hall, two of them knelt down and bowed their heads, and the other bowed down and bowed their hands.

"The villain Sun Haiying has seen an adult."

"The villain Song Nan has seen the adult."

"Late-born ram gram, I have seen the magistrate."

Mu Su's eyes fell on Ram Ke: "You have merit and fame?" ”

Ram Ke replied respectfully: "It's really ashamed, I have been weak for three years in my late life, and I am still a famous talent, and I have no fame." ”

Mu Su nodded: "Where were you that night." ”

"Lord Huizhi County, the younger generation is studying hard in the room."

Mu Su asked the other two again, all of them were in his room.

Suddenly, the words changed, and he said coldly: "Sun Haiying, you recruited from the truth, why do you want to destroy the Sun family!" ”

Sun Haiying raised her head in a daze: "What do you say, my lord......?" ”

Mu Su slapped the shocked wood: "Don't you say it, drag it out and cut it!" ”

Oshi's heart trembled, isn't this adult going to catch a scapegoat?

I saw two officials rushing forward to escort Sun Haiying, who struggled violently: "My lord! I didn't! I don't! ”

Everything happened with lightning and flint, and everyone couldn't react, causing an uproar.

Mu Su glanced at the progress of the task, and there were more ordinary judgments.

This means that the verdict is only completed, and there is no distinction between right and wrong.

Sun Haiying is not a murderer.

"Don't worry, just test you." Mu Su suddenly waved his hand, asked the official to let go of him, said a word of temptation lightly, and looked at the second person.

"Song Nan, where were you that night."

"The villain is ......"

Song Nan was terrified, but he didn't expect that just halfway through the words, Mu Su shouted: "This person is the murderer, drag him to the prison, and behead him at noon tomorrow." ”

Two officials reappeared.

Song Nan kowtowed again and again and shouted, "I didn't ...... I was wronged! I've been wronged, my lord! ”

"Okay, I got it." Mu Su nodded perfunctorily as if playing, and turned to the last person.

In just a dozen breaths, the people have long been stunned, and the pen that recorded the process can't fall.

Seeing Mu Su's view, Ram Ke stubbornly surrendered his hand: "Zhixian Da-"

"Drag it down and slash!"

Two officials jumped out, one left and one right, subduing the ram gram.

At this moment, the progress of the task suddenly changed. Ordinary judgments become good judgments.

The corners of Mu Su's mouth curled.
