Chapter 45: Qin Shou Panicked (Third Watch)
Above the county government hall, it is rare to have so many people standing.
In addition to the relevant parties, there are also a group of squires led by Zeng Tiancheng and Zheng Juren.
From the bottom of their hearts, Shen Butong and Qin Shou naturally did not want anyone else to participate in the court trial.
After all, they have ghosts in their hearts.
In other words, ordinary people, as soon as they enter the court, they are fish and meat on the chopping board, and those who are officials say that white is white, and black is black.
Therefore, there is a saying in the market: the yamen is open to the south, and there is no reason to come in without money.
But today's situation is different.
First, Nie Hongshu is not only a lifter, but also a Bapin County Cheng, no matter how bold Shen is to extort a confession, he will not dare to torture him.
Second, so many squires came to the scene to listen to the trial, and there were many famous people.
In this way, it is not easy to blatantly reverse black and white.
However, Shen Butong and the two couldn't stop it.
After the trial began, the smuggler Feng Lao Si repeated what he had confessed last time like an endorsement.
"The villain has sold more than 4,000 catties of private salt for Lord Nie before and after, and the profits must be handed over to eighty percent, and the villain will get two percent......"
Shen Butong ordered someone to record the confession and asked Feng Laosi to sign it.
Then he glanced at Nie Hongshu and asked, "I don't know if Lord Nie has anything else to justify?" ”
"Lord Huishen, the lower official is still the same sentence, the lower official doesn't know this person at all, and the so-called handwritten letter must have been forged by someone."
"Nonsense!" Qin Shou couldn't help but drink: "You have read that secret letter yourself, and it has also been verified by the county master, the lord Bo and others, and it is exactly the same as your handwriting, do you still dare to quibble?" ”
Nie Hongshu said unhurriedly: "Lord Qin's words are wrong! To say that the handwriting is indeed eight or nine points similar, to say that it is exactly the same, it is only one side. ”
At this time, Zeng Tiancheng walked out at the right time and arched his hand: "Lord Shen, we came together today to do justice for this case."
I thought that just based on this person's words and a so-called handwritten letter, it was determined that Master Nie was selling illicit salt, which was inevitably a little unconvincing. ”
"Yes, I wonder if Lord Shen can let me check the so-called secret letter?"
Zheng Juren also stepped forward and said.
How can Shen Butong take out the secret letter? After all, he knew in his heart what was going on.
In fact, things have developed so far, and there are already signs of getting out of control.
This was something he didn't expect.
Including Qin Shou, he didn't expect that there would be so many squires who would come to protect Nie Hongshu.
In this way, he and Shen Butong fell into passivity.
Some conspiracies that have not yet been carried out dare not be carried out easily, so as not to be seized by these squires.
Therefore, Shen Butong sank his face on the spot and patted him in shock: "This letter has been checked by Lord Qin and confirmed that it is Nie Hongshu's handwriting.
Moreover, this letter is an important piece of physical evidence, so how can it be easily displayed? ”
This guy is very smart, and he carries Qin Shou to the front at every turn.
In this way, even if something happened to him, he would have an excuse to say that he was deceived by Qin Shou.
"Yes, yes, in case the evidence is damaged, who will be responsible?"
Qin Shou didn't think much about it, and hurriedly echoed.
"In addition...... "Shen Butong rebelled against the first army: "You keep saying that Lord Nie is innocent, then please also come up with evidence to convince the official." ”
This is clearly a run on people.
It's obviously a fictitious thing, what evidence can you get?
Unexpectedly, Nie Hongshu replied: "Lord Shen, don't worry, the evidence is indeed there, but it will take a while." ”
"Huh?"
Hearing this, Shen Butong immediately glanced at Qin Shou, and faintly felt something bad in his heart.
At the beginning, Nie Hongshu was only supported by a group of squires, so he was a little bolder.
Now listening to this tone and indifferent and calm demeanor, is it possible that there is any aftermath?
So, Shen Butong asked tentatively, "I don't know what evidence Lord Nie wants to provide?" Human or physical evidence? ”
Nie Hongshu replied meaningfully: "We'll see it then!" ”
"Bold, Lord Shen asked, you still dare to push back, you clearly have a ghost in your heart!"
As soon as the words fell, Gu Ming's voice came from outside: "Master Nie, the evidence has been sent." ”
Nie Hong was overjoyed: "Great, Lord Shen, Lord Qin, don't you want to see the evidence?" Now, the evidence is here. ”
"This ......"
Shen Butong frowned, and subconsciously glanced at Qin Shou.
Then he was shocked: "Present the evidence!" ”
Soon, I saw Gu Ming and Zeng Dehao walking into the public hall with a pale-faced woman.
Feng Laosi had a ghost in his heart, so he had already turned his head to peek.
As a result, people couldn't help but be shocked: "Lady, you ...... How could you...... What about Jun'er? ”
Without waiting for the woman to answer, Zeng Dehao said coldly first: "Feng Laosi, I advise you to tell the truth honestly, and you will naturally be able to see your son." ”
This is an implicit threat.
It can also be called the way of others, and the body of others.
The implication is that if you don't tell the truth, I'm afraid you won't be able to see your son.
Sure enough, as soon as Feng Laosi heard this, his face was like ashes, and he almost collapsed to the ground.
"Ridiculous!"
As soon as he saw the comer, Qin Shou immediately panicked, and grabbed the startling wood desperately and slapped it hard.
"Gu Xiucai, Lord Shen and this official are trying an important case, you dare to go to the court to make a fuss, come here, give this official ......"
was about to throw the token to take the person, but Nie Hongshu shouted angrily: "Lord Qin, this is an important witness summoned by the lower officials, why don't you ask?" ”
"That's it!"
Shen Butong knew that the matter had been exposed, and he didn't dare to blatantly protect it in front of so many people, so he could only stop by shouting.
Then he asked hypocritically, "Who is this woman?" ”
Zeng Dehao replied: "My lord, she is the wife of Feng Laosi. Before, someone kidnapped Feng Laosi's wife and children and forced him to testify against Lord Nie for selling illicit salt. ”
"Adult, the little one is guilty, the little one is guilty......"
Feng Laosi's spirit had completely collapsed, and he began to cry bitterly without waiting for questioning.
At this point, Qin Shou was not stupid, he simply made a mistake, grabbed the token on the spot and threw it: "Okay, you are a fourth man, you dare to frame the court officials, come to someone, and weigh 30 boards." ”
"Might~Martial!"
The officials on both sides cheered cooperatively.
Then there were two officials who walked towards the fourth Feng with murderous spirit.
They have already understood the meaning of the county commander, as soon as these thirty boards are beaten, I am afraid that Feng Lao Si will become a dead corpse.
Regarding Qin Shou's move, Shen Butong didn't even stop it.
Anyway, he didn't throw the token, and Qin Shou was responsible for it if something happened......
"My lord, by all means, this is not yet ...... trial"
Of course, Zeng Tiancheng and the others knew what was going on, and hurriedly stepped forward to dissuade them.
As a result, Qin Shou didn't listen at all, and couldn't wait to drink the order: "Hit this official, hit hard!" ”
"Yes!"
At this order, the two officials comprehended it even more, and viciously pressed Feng Laosi to the ground, and raised the big board high to start fighting......
