Chapter 579: Retrial
Speaking of which, Gan Jinming paused.
Wen Yuanting asked, "What happens after that?" ”
This previous statement is exactly the same as the case file, Zhan Baoqing forced Gan Jinming's sister to death, and there was also evidence at the time, which proved that there was something to be done.
The key evidence is not here, but in the back.
According to the case file mentioned above, Gan Jinming will talk about who is the murderer, Wen Yuanting feels that Hua Yuanming and Gu Hongxin may not be innocent, but when he climbed up to Xia Wanqing, there is some insufficient evidence.
However, the British duke has a special status, and has repeatedly exerted pressure, and the emperor also wants to give him an explanation, so Shaoqing Sun Liangcai was eager to make meritorious service and added this crime with only a confession and no substantiation.
Wen Yuanting has studied this case, if Gan Jinming's confession is still like that. Even if Xia Wanqing's evidence is insufficient, Hua Yuanming and Gu Hongxin are afraid that they will not be able to escape responsibility.
Gan Jinming said: "But the situation is very critical, Hua Yuanming and Gu Hongxin are not the opponents of the old servant beside Zhan Baoqing." Seeing that we were all going to die there, Gu Hongxin kidnapped Zhan Baoqing. Zhan Baoqing's subordinates did not dare to follow, so we were able to escape. Hua and Gu sent the villain to a safe place, and Gu Hongxin released Zhan Baoqing. After that, they bandaged my wound and left! ”
Wen Yuanting patted the shocked wood: "Gan Jinming, it's not the same as your testimony in Dali Temple." Didn't you say that you avoided the eyes of Zhang Baoqing's old servants and subordinates. Did Gu Hongxin kill Zhan Baoqing? "Gan Jinming actually retracted his confession? There was no execution, and there was no repeated interrogation, Gan Jinming actually retracted his confession, which surprised Wen Yuanting.
What's going on here? At the beginning, Gan Jinming kept saying that he wanted to repay his kindness, but he pulled Hua Yuanming Gu Hongxin, who was uneven, into the water, he thought that it was not easy to overturn this case, even if he found a lot of doubts in the case file, he was ready for detailed interrogation and repeated interrogation, and even he told Xia Wenjin not to have too much hope, but now, he is a little confused.
Gan Jinming said calmly: "The villain said so before, because the villain doesn't want to die!" ”
Wen Yuanting said in a deep voice: "Who killed Zhan Baoqing?" ”
Gan Jinming raised his eyes like dead fish, his eyes were originally dull and not the slightest bit smart, but after Wen Yuanting asked this sentence, his eyes moved, with outright hatred in them, as well as a sadness, a madness, he gritted his teeth and said: "I killed it!" ”
The man from the British Mansion glared at him fiercely, but Wen Yuanting's warning before made him not open his mouth to scold, but turned to Wen Yuanting: "My lord, my little son died so miserably, this Gan Jinming personally admitted it, which means that he is also the main culprit, and he should also be sentenced to beheading!" Ask the adults to make the decisions for my little son! ”
Wen Yuanting glanced at him, he was trying the case here, this person was always interjecting on the side, was this relying on the power of the British government to put pressure on him? He frowned and said, "If you say more, this official will punish you for the crime of roaring in court!" ”
That person is the son of the British princess Zhan De, usually called the second master, but the status in the British government is not as good as the big housekeeper, the British prince handed over this matter to him, he observed the words and feelings, knew that the British prince wanted to avenge Zhan Baoqing's heart, and wanted to raise his eyebrows, rushed up and down, very hard.
At this moment, he was reprimanded by Wen Yuanting in court, and he secretly hated it in his heart, but a little four-grade Jing Zhaoyin was so unkind to him? Whether it is the Zhuang Wangfu or the British Mansion, it is not something that this small four-rank official can shake. However, he also knew that if it was because of his reasons that affected the review of the case, he could not bear this responsibility, so he had to suppress this anger and stop talking.
Wen Yuanting asked Gan Jinming: "You summoned the situation in detail!" ”
Gan Jinming's eyes showed a crazy bloodlust, but his words were very clear: "I seem to be seriously injured, but in fact, I have thick skin and thick flesh, but I have only suffered some skin trauma. After Hua Yuanming and the others left, I slipped out quietly, because I knew that it was easy to get lost in that alley, and Zhan Baoqing's straw bale walked alone, and it was night, and he couldn't find his way out. Sure enough, I saw the straw bale losing his temper in the alley, scolding to break all three of us into pieces to dissipate my anger. I thought of the tragic situation when my sister was forced to die, and I couldn't hold back anymore and rushed to kill him! ”
"You killed someone?" Wen Yuanting flipped through the case file and said, "Then what does your previous confession, 'This is the person the eldest brother wants to kill'?" ”
Gan Jinming said expressionlessly: "Someone gave me silver and told me to say this, and he promised me that as long as I said this, I would not die, and when I met the world with amnesty in the future, I would be able to come out and continue to live my life!" ”
"In that case, why are you retracting your confession now?"
"Probably a discovery of conscience!" Gan Jinming laughed self-deprecatingly and said, "I don't want to be anyone's pawn, and I don't want to involve innocents!" My revenge has been avenged, my wish has been fulfilled, what am I still alive for? ”
Wen Yuanting's eyes deepened, he didn't quite believe Gan Jinming's words, but it was obvious that if this was the truth, it was obviously more reasonable, and he asked, "Why is the bloody knife at Gu Hongxin's place?" ”
Gan Jinming snorted lightly and said lightly: "It's easy to make a sword stained with blood. But I don't know who did it, I killed with a short sword, which I threw into the well behind the courtyard where I lived! ”
The first thing Wen Yuanting did after receiving the complaint was to send someone to mention the criminal, and then brought Jing Zhaoyin's work to the autopsy. However, the British government protects Zhan Baoqing's body very well, and they can only take a cursory look, but even so, they can still see the wounds on the corpse, which seem to be one, but actually have overlapping wounds.
If he was stabbed with a short sword first, and then in order to form a murder weapon, he used the long sword in Gu Hongxin's hand to stab it along the original wound, which is reasonable.
This illustrates another question, who wants to let Gu Hongxin bear this murder charge, and then drag the three owners of Haotian Village into the water?
Although Gan Jinming retracted his confession and signed and detained, Wen Yuanting would not just believe his side of the story, and interrogate witnesses and criminals one by one.
In the palace, the emperor summoned the emperor Jingchen, and for this lost grandson, the emperor showed his kindness and rewarded a lot of good things. However, the family affection that can be objectified is limited.
When Huangfu Jingchen thanked him, his expression was a little sad, and he said: "Imperial grandfather, is it that the grandson has a hateful face, the grandson has always followed the rules, and even rarely comes out of the mansion, why did the third emperor kill me?" Is my existence blocking the way of the Three Emperors? ”
