618th Cane Blame
In the blink of an eye, two charges had been raised against my head.
Anything else?
"General Li, please go back to the column." Liu Taishou looked down and read: "The next person is the subordinate ...... of Liu Wuchang, the 38th platoon on the left side of the camp tent of Li Sen under the command of General Ma of the Tiebi Battalion of the Akiyama Army."
"Li Sangou." Master Xu reminded.
"Spread Li Sangou to the court." Liu Taishou nodded.
A man wrapped in a white cloth was carried up.
"You are Li Sangou?" Liu Taishou frowned.
The man in the white cloth snorted twice.
"What does that mean?" Liu Taishou asked.
"Your Excellency." Master Xu said, "This Li Sangou is one of the soldiers who guarded the north exit of the tunnel through the mountain yesterday, when the tunnel mouth exploded and collapsed, and there were many dead and injured soldiers near the exit, Li Sangou was the only one who saw the suspect and survived, but he was too seriously injured to speak." β
"I see, Li Sangou, if you can understand what the official is saying, just nod." Mrs. Liu guarded.
The people in the white cloth continued to support themselves.
"My lord, he can't move his neck." Master Xu said.
"Then do it." Mrs. Liu guarded.
When the man in the white cloth heard this, he straightened his hands with a hula and shook it vigorously a few times.
"Very good." Mrs. Liu said, "The official asked you, did you see the suspect when the tunnel exit exploded?" If you see it, do it, and don't move if you don't see it. β
The man in the white cloth did not move.
"Oh?" Liu Taishou was stunned, "Are you sure you haven't seen it?" β
The man in the white cloth remained still.
I glanced at the white-clothed man, and I wondered.
It's normal that he didn't see itβI was so transfigured that I could see itβbut the question is, if he didn't see anything, why was he sent as a witness?
Of course, this Liu Changjun is confused, and he may really make such a low-level mistake.
But who is behind the whole thing? Can he watch Liu Changjun make a fool and finally let me get away with it?
Or is it ...... Because of the intervention of King Qiujun and Prince Yun, the mastermind behind the scenes was instigated, and they did not dare to interfere in the court trial?
Or is it that the people behind the scenes are not as capable as they think?
Just when I was full of suspicions in my heart, Master Xu spoke again: "Li Sangou, you didn't see the suspect at the time of the explosion, can you put it another way...... Have you ever met a suspect? β
The man in the white cloth waved his hand suddenly.
"When have you seen it?" Liu Taishou asked anxiously.
But he immediately realized that the witness could not answer directly, so he coughed awkwardly and asked, "Did you ever see the suspect before the explosion?" β
The man in the white cloth waved.
"Good." Liu Taishou asked again, "Then what is he doing...... Did the suspect do something that would cause the tunnel mouth to explode? β
The man in the white cloth did not move.
"No?" Liu Taishou scratched the back of his head anxiously.
Master Xu reacted quickly and immediately asked, "Did the suspect ever do some strange things?" β
The man in the white cloth waved.
"He did a strange thing, and he did it at the mouth of the tunnel?" Master Xu asked.
The man in the white cloth continued to wave.
At this point in questioning, Liu Taishou and Master Xu looked at each other and smiled.
"It can be proved that the third crime of the suspect is to deliberately damage public property and disturb public ......order," Liu Taishou said in a deep voice.
"Wait." Master Xu suddenly interrupted.
"Huh?" Liu Taishou's face was a little unkind.
But Master Xu immediately whispered a few words in his ear, so that Liu Taishou couldn't help nodding, and his eyebrows were stretched.
"The suspect in the hall can be known." Liu Taishou said sharply, "Your third crime is to launch a suicide bombing attack on innocent people, causing civil riots, causing turmoil in the hearts of the people, and directly and indirectly causing thousands of dead and injured people, which is really a heinous crime!" The crime is heinous! There is no forgiveness for sin! β
Liu Taishou's words were righteous and strict, and I couldn't help but feel a ...... in my heart
Just relax!
That's right, relaxation.
Although the three major charges are like three mountains, one heavier than the other, pressing on my head, I vaguely feel a shadow in the midst of this series of accusations.
The shadow of the man behind the scenes!
There is no mistake, the mastermind behind the scenes must have participated in this court trial in some way.
Well participated.
Only in this way will I have a chance to peel back the cocoon and find him out!
Aquila Castle destroyed.
Murder the owner of the Ink Dye Hall.
Suicide bombing attacks......
"Just these three charges?" I said indifferently.
"Could it be that you have other cases on your side?" Liu Taishou glared.
"There are no more, only three." I said.
"Oh?" Mrs. Liu's face was full of surprise, "Confess quickly, deal with it leniently, if you conceal it, the crime will be added to the first!" β
"Confess, of course." I took a step forward and said, "In the process of searching for my missing friend, I strayed into the scene of the Aquila Castle crime, although there was no bloodstain of the murder weapon on my body, and I had nothing to do with the deceased, but out of respect for the yamen and the law, I voluntarily chose to be tied up and imprisoned; Unexpectedly, without a court trial and incomplete five evidences, he was escorted to the execution ground to be beheaded...... So my first crime is to misbelieve in a traitor and misdistinguish between black and white! β
"After that, I temporarily saved my life by assisting Qin Cha in investigating the case. Later, in the process of investigating the case, he found a clue that needed the help of General Mo Lao, so he went to the Mo Dye Hall, and met Liu Taishou, General Li and the prince of the county in the hall...... Therefore, my second crime is to meet someone unladylike and be framed! β
"In view of the lesson of the first charge and the sudden disappearance of the Chincha, I had no choice but to flee from this place of right and wrong, and I did not want to escape into the tunnel and be trapped in the tunnel due to the explosions at both ends...... So my third crime is to be hated and harm the innocent! β
"These three crimes are summed up, the first is pedantic blind faith, the second is luck retardation, and the third is provoking wicked people, three crimes in one, if it is written into the script, I am afraid that it will be laughed at for a thousand years!"
The words landed, but there was silence all around.
After a long time, Liu Taishou slapped the case and shouted: "You are quibbling!" β
"What am I quibbling about?" I asked, shrugging my shoulders.
Liu Taishou was speechless for a moment.
Every time this kind of embarrassing scene happens, it is the time for the master to show his face again.
"Suspect, you are not quibbling, but it is better than a quibble, disrupting the court trial with rootless words, vainly trying to mislead the direction of the investigation, and even hiding sarcasm in the words, repeatedly insulting the court officials, what you have done has violated Article 13 of the Criminal Law, Verbal Evidence, Article 5 of the Criminal Law, and the punishment for the two crimes is combined, and you should be punished with 50 rods."
"Yes, be a rod and fifty!" Liu Taishou immediately fell into the well and threw down an arrow; "Come on, give me a hard beating!"
