Li Shangshu sat at the top, 1 In fact, this case originally did not need a Shangshu to try it in person, but it couldn't stand the special identity of the Kong family, and the affairs of the Du family were well known, and it was almost the focus of the capital, so this time he served as the chief judge.

When the people came up, Li Shangshu frowned and said officially: "Who is standing under the hall?" Register your name. ”

The third lady was silent for a moment before reporting her name.

Li Shangshu pointed to the few people kneeling below, and asked the third lady in a cold voice: "Do you know these people?" ”

The third lady was hoarse and nodded with difficulty: "If you go back to your words, you can recognize it." ”

"Oh?" Li Shangshu touched the beard on his chin and asked in a deep voice: "Since you know it, do you know why they are kneeling here?" ”

Before she came, Mrs. Tai's words kept echoing in her mind, and the third lady felt pain and fear in her heart, she couldn't tell what it was like, she didn't want to admit it, why did she admit it? The Du family and his wife are dead, they are all dead! There is no evidence of death, and the bodies of the Du family and his wife have been found after so long, who knows what their bodies have become now, and whether they can still be used as evidence?

Why would she ruin everything for the sake of a possible possibility?

She gritted her teeth, her body reacted faster than her brain, shook her head affirmatively, and said, "I don't know." ”

Li Shangshu had long expected that the third lady would not admit it so refreshingly, in fact, everyone is like this, subconsciously there is an instinct to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, but whenever there is a slight opportunity, they all feel that this opportunity is their own, and luck will befall them.

Even if the evidence of the crime is conclusive, there are many criminals who cry out for injustice.

What's more, there is no evidence against the third lady on the surface.

He laughed, snorted, and said, "Really? But they are confidants, they are here because they are involved in the murder of the Du family and the couple, how can the third lady say that she doesn't know why they are here? ”

Mrs. Kong's face turned pale, no matter which noble lady entered the yamen for the first time, she was already scared and her legs weakened, but even so, she still held on, tried hard to control her emotions, raised her eyes to look at Li Shangshu and Zhou Shilang who were sitting on it, and said: "I have also heard some rumors inside and outside the capital, but are the adults judging the case based on these rumors?" ”

This is really a back-and-forth.

Zhou Shilang and Li Shangshu were not in a hurry.

With the evidence in hand, of course, there is no need for them to rush to bare faces.

After glancing at Li Shangshu, Zhou Shilang patted the shocked wood, and asked the official to press the two Mrs. Kong's companions, and asked sharply: "Let's say!" Why did you want to flee the capital?! ”

Those two people were already frightened when they were arrested, Zhou Shilang and their methods were frequent, and they had already suffered on the way back, of course they knew that Zhou Shilang was by no means easy to fool, so now when Zhou Shilang was angry, they were so frightened that they didn't know what to do.

Zhou Shilang didn't bother to pay attention to their careful thoughts, raised his hand, and someone went out, and after a while, a few people were dragged in from outside, Zhou Shilang pointed at them and asked, "Do you know those people?" ”

The third lady's companion hurriedly lowered his head after taking a look----- these are really the second little ones of the inn, the vendors selling things at the city gate!

They were terrified, and they didn't know whether to admit it or bite it to death, when they saw Zhou Shilang sneering again, and slapped the shocked wood suddenly: "You don't have to quibble, the day you went out of the city to kill people, you have done it very carefully and carefully, but people, under panic, there will always be flaws, when you kill, have you ever thought about what you left behind?" ”

What fell?

The two of them glanced at each other, both a little flustered.

The third lady clenched her fists even more, and she was already so frightened that she was about to scream.

She has been able to persist until now, in fact, because of a belief, supported by one breath.

God took great care of her in the first half of her life, she got almost everything she wanted, and she could turn the tide when she encountered anything, she had always been a lucky man, is it different now?

She didn't believe it.

But Zhou Shilang turned his head and ordered to the officials below: "Go!" Invite the officials of the Tongzhou prefect yamen to come up. ”

The third lady's heart was like a stone falling, sinking heavily.

When the money bag of one of the two companions fell to the ground, they were suddenly speechless, and even the third lady couldn't control herself and took a step back, her face pale and bloodless.

Li Shangshu has always been there, and it was not until this moment that he asked the third lady: "Third lady, the reason why we didn't call the people of the Du family to come to the lobby is to give you some face, if you admit it yourself, it is naturally better than anything else, and it also keeps your own dignity, but you have to make trouble for this part." Now that there is human and material evidence, how to say? ”

The third lady clutched her chest and felt a little out of breath, and gritted her teeth: "What does this mean?" The corpses we found were all unrecognizable, how could they prove that they were the Du family husband and wife? ”

Li Shangshu burst out laughing: "It turns out that the third lady is still counting on this, it's a pity, among the Du family husband and wife, Lord Du had a knee injury in the early years, so his leg bones are different from ordinary people, and they are defective, which can prove that it is Lord Du, plus the place where they fell into the water is not far from the last person who saw these two companions, if even these are not enough, then how can the third lady prove it?" ”

Mrs. Kong San was speechless.

And at this time, Chu Tingchuan also came, as soon as he came, the entire hall had to go over to salute him, taking advantage of this opportunity, the third lady glanced at him, and saw that he was radiant, and there was some resentment in his heart.

It's all to blame on Chu Tingchuan.

If it weren't for Chu Tingchuan's great joy, she would have to toss in the Criminal Department, and her affairs would not have come out, and now she is still the third lady of the Kong family.

She was resentful in her heart, but Chu Tingchuan didn't pay attention to it.

He crossed the third lady, returned to the head with Master Li, sat in the first seat, pointed his finger on the table, took a warrant and looked at the third lady quietly: "If you don't confess again, the evidence is now in front, and the punishment of the criminal department is reasonable, you can think clearly." ”

The two companions of the third lady couldn't hold it at first, they were already frightened crazy by the corpse that suddenly came in, and as soon as the money bag came out, they knew that this time it was a catastrophe.
