Chapter 164: Very cooperative, very satisfied
Zhang Changshen was satisfied, very satisfied.
He knew that these wealthy ladies couldn't stand the slightest hardship, so if they were scared casually, they would have to confess honestly, especially if they had the privilege to pressure them to retract their confessions, they should not confess too easily.
"Okay, you tell the truth about what happened back then, and there must be no omissions. If you let me know that what you say is not in accordance with the facts, the sin will be increased by one degree. He said.
The scribe next to him suddenly cheered up and prepared to record.
Did Wei Shiken confess honestly? Naturally, I won't.
With tears in her eyes and a miserable look, she said, "I don't know about this at all. Adults also know that I was giving birth at the time, and I was still having two lives, and I was already delirious because of the pain, and I fainted from exhaustion after giving birth. By the time I woke up, my nurse had already changed the baby. She didn't tell me at the time, and it wasn't until she packed up and was sent back to the second room with the children that she told me that I had twins. She was worried that the old lady was going to drown one, so she secretly exchanged the eldest lady's daughter with one of my sons while no one was paying attention. ”
When Wen Po next to her heard this, she immediately said angrily: "I'm talking nonsense." You've been awake since you were born. When you knew that you had given birth to twins, you transferred me away, and discussed with your nurse for a long time, and then called me over and asked me to help you change the child. You also gave me two thousand taels of silver to pay for hush money. ”
"You're talking nonsense!" Wei Shi was sobered up now.
Thinking that Dali Temple seemed to be such a witness, she immediately changed her words, pointed to Wen Po and said to Zhang Changshen, "She must have been instructed by someone to slander me." ”
That's when she felt like she had suffered a big loss. If she hadn't been too flustered when she saw Wen Po just now, she should have admitted nothing just now.
Wei is a short-tempered person, and it is difficult to control his reason when his temper comes together. At this time, she regretted that her intestines were blue, and she was immediately furious, pointing at Wen Po and scolding.
As soon as Wen Po remembered that it was the person in front of her who acted inconsiderately and showed clues, so that she was found and her children and grandchildren were controlled, and she fell to such a point, and then she would go to prison, she was not to be outdone, and scolded Wei.
Zhang Changshen didn't stop it, picked up the tea bowl and drank it slowly, letting the two of them scold each other.
It is irrational for a woman to scold the street. scolding and scolding, he can scold everything, and he will not have to go through the trouble of interrogation.
When she used to be a stable woman, she walked the streets and alleys and delivered babies everywhere, not only by technology, but also by a flexible brain and a very good mouth.
Otherwise, if she encounters a dead mother, a baby boy, or a grandson who gives birth to a baby girl, or even a family that wishes and does not want to pay for the delivery, she may not be able to walk out of that family alive.
Since she was forced to turn herself in and then sent to the capital, she knew very clearly: as long as she could successfully pull Wei into the water, expose all her crimes, and even charge her with even bigger crimes, the more satisfied the people behind her would be, and the fate of their whole family would be much better.
Therefore, she was very skillful in scolding, and deliberately quarreled with Wei about the details at that time, leading Wei to talk deeper and deeper, and in the end, the death of Wei's nurse and the knowing grandmother were successfully planted on Wei's head.
The right temple and the scribe who made the record, as well as the officials, were stunned when they looked at the two women.
Dali Temple is not an ordinary yamen. In some county offices, it is very common for shrews to scold the streets, but Dali Temple is a place to handle big, important, and difficult cases, and cases of this level will not be handed over to Dali Temple.
It was the first time everyone saw a shrew arguing in the courtroom, which was really eye-opening.
Thinking about it again, one of the women was still Wei Qiu, the daughter of Taichang Siqing, who married into a noble family and became a noblewoman, and that feeling was even more indescribable.
This is especially true of the officials.
Emma, it's been a long experience. They think that only the vulgar mother-in-law of their own family will wield a big shovel for stir-frying, stick their waists and spit on people, but is it the same for the ladies and ladies of the aristocratic families? It seems that my mother-in-law is really wrong.
Zhang Changshen was stunned when he saw the scribe half-open his mouth and watching people quarrel, so he quickly coughed lightly and motioned him to hurry up and record. The scribe came to his senses and immediately wrote hard.
Although he has never seen it in the form of quarrels, he has been a scribe for many years, which is absolutely difficult for him.
Isn't it just the confession of two people? In the past, it was arraignment to say one by one, and after speaking, the drawing was drawn. Now it's two people saying it together, taking turns. The form is a little new, but it's still the same.
He took two pieces of paper, one was Wei's confession and the other was Wenpo's confession, and summarized the information revealed during their quarrel and recorded them one by one. One moment to write here, another to write there, very busy.
Seeing this, Zhang Changshen nodded with satisfaction.
When Wei was tired of arguing, his brain came to his senses, and when he found out that this was a public court and that he had talked too much just now, a stack of confessions was thrown in front of her by Zhang Changlin: "Okay, sign and draw." ”
"W-What?" Wei was dumbfounded.
"What?" Zhang Changshen glanced at her, "The scribe has written down what you just said." You're literate, right? You have to be literate, and look at what is written on it, but what you just said. But don't worry, what you say has been heard by a whole house of people, they are witnesses, and you can't rely on them. We can't frame you. Hurry up and sign it. ”
Wei Shi "chuckled" in his heart, and secretly screamed that it was not good. Thinking back to what I said just now, I was scared out of cold sweat.
She quarreled with Wen Po, and she really shook off everything she had done.
Zhang Changshen is good at handling cases and has a perfect grasp of people's psychology.
Seeing the change in the expression on Wei's face, he said at the right time: "Sign and draw, even if my lawsuit is over, I can take the time to help you talk to the Wei Mansion in a while." If you are involved in a crime, you need to inform your family. ”
As soon as Wei heard that he would be able to see his family immediately, he did not hesitate, and immediately signed and pressed his handprint.
What if she signs and draws? When her father came, she could completely retract her confession, saying that these people forced her to sign it. When the time comes, there will be a father to negotiate with these people.
Zhang Changshen got the confession, and his attitude towards the Wei family was much more pleasant, and he instructed the servant's mother-in-law: "Send her to the women's prison and give her a private room." Buy whatever you need. Her father is Lord Wei of Taichang Temple, so be polite to her. Annoyed her, be careful, you can't eat, go around. ”
"Yes." The mother-in-law responded, escorted Wei and Wenpo to the women's prison.
Seeing that the Wei family was escorted away, Zhang Changshen was shocked: "Take the Wei family's attendant Li Pozi." ”
