As night approached, it was quiet inside and outside the yamen.

In the cell, Songshan coughed twice, looked at Wang Qingtong who was guarding him and said, "When did the lord say that he will ascend to the court?" ”

"What you just said this afternoon, you will be promoted tomorrow." Wang Qingtong poured him water, "You drink some, the adults said to have more water, and you must be in better spirits after going to the hall tomorrow." ”

Matsuyama laughed, "You have taken the words of the adults as if they were holy decrees, and everyone listens to him like this?" ”

"Hmmm! Because what the adults say is right. However, when we are right, adults listen to us. Wang Qing said.

Matsuyama was curious, raised his eyebrows and said, "Listen to you?" I saw that he was quite prestigious. ”

"You don't know adults, he has principles and a clear bottom line, no matter who says it, as long as it makes sense, he will listen."

Songshan was envious, and said to Wang Qingtong: "Then you old catchers are happy, right?" When you are about to get old, you actually met an adult, whether it is six years or three years, it is lucky for you. ”

"Of course." Wang Qingtong said, "You didn't go out, but now that you have popularized the law, many people come to report the case every day, saying who has broken the law...... There are many fewer petty and fragmented disputes, and everyone can not only report, supervise but also self-discipline. ”

"Your Excellency and Lord Sun have also implemented a new policy, and in your case, maybe after clearing up your grievances, there will be compensation."

Matsuyama smiled and didn't hold out hope: "No matter how powerful the adult is, he is just a pusher." He added, "Isn't there any news of the autumn geese yet?" ”

"Nope." Wang Qingtong sighed, "Jinan Mansion has been turned over several times inside and out, and Shopkeeper Yao seems to have disappeared out of thin air." ”

Matsuyama looked at the roof and said, "No wonder others, I only complain that I was frivolous and made evil at that time." ”

"If she goes, when I clear my grievances, I will go with her."

As he spoke, he took out two phalanges from the pocket of his prison uniform, and the small ones were rounded and smooth, Wang Qingtong was surprised: "This, your son's phalanges that were sent at that time?" ”

"Yes." Matsuyama said, "In the past three years, every time I have to die, I have relied on it to hold on. ”

"Even if there is a glimmer of life, I want to live, and I want to avenge him."

Wang Qingtong sighed: "Sleep, I have to go to the hall tomorrow." ”

"Okay." Songshan closed his eyes, and Yang Chang next door wiped a little warm water for Han Shuo, arsenic is really poisonous, even if it has been three days since he was rescued, he still only breathed a sigh.

Ma Liu said in a low voice: "It is estimated that I will not survive, my lord will be promoted to the court tomorrow, what if I don't have him to testify?" ”

Han Shuo is an accomplice, but there is also a great possibility of confessing and testifying.

If he could speak, then the case wouldn't have to be so hard.

"I'd better make my words clear before I die!"

The two rooms were quiet, the night was getting deeper, I don't know how long it was, there was the sound of three watches outside, and Ma Liu woke up during the fifth watch, went out to buy breakfast, and changed Yang Changgen to wash.

Chen Zheng, Yang Chang changed into a clean fast suit and went to the yatang.

The side entrance of Beiping Road of the Torture Hall is already crowded with people.

First, after many days, the Torture Hall has finally been upgraded.

The second is that the case of this promotion to the court is the case of the Tang Mansion's extermination, and the prisoner in the case is Songshan, who was sentenced to be executed three years ago, but the yamen has been dragging him and does not dare to carry out the execution.

In the eyes of the government, Matsuyama is a heinous thief and murderer, but in the eyes of the people, Matsuyama is a person with a great sense of justice, he robs those rich people who are not benevolent, and distributes the looted property to the poor people, leaving no objects for himself.

Such a person is a chivalrous man in the narrow sense of the word.

How can you not be loved by the people?

"I'm really afraid that he will die in prison." Someone whispered, "When we were sentenced three years ago, we blocked the government office once, so it was a little useful, and I thought that he would be replaced by one day at a time." ”

"I didn't expect to wait for three years to reach Lord Song."

"But even if Lord Song starts, this case is not easy to overturn, and the Yamen was able to decide the case at that time because the evidence was conclusive. Not to mention, there are also witness testimonies. ”

"Speaking of witnesses, I heard that Zhang Biao's son was put on arsenic. You know Zhang Biao's son, right? The murderer in this case is Zhang Biao. ”

Everyone seemed to have heard the great shock, and they exclaimed one after another, and they couldn't believe it.

Someone asked: "Impossible, although Zhang Biao is not authentic, he has been a head hunter for more than ten or twenty years, and he can't do this kind of murder." ”

"Besides, isn't he also dead? After opening the coffin of the seventeenth mouth of the Tang Mansion that day, I didn't go to open Zhang Biao. ”

"Really? So if you want to say this, Zhang Biao won't be killed by the murderer, right? ”

"Ah, it's entirely possible."

Everyone chatted and said that it was unfounded speculation, but it was all within a reasonable range.

Yang Chang came out to beat the drum.

Wu Lin sandwiched the little horse and pinched the time.

As soon as he sat down, the people in front and behind him dispersed instantly.

Wu Lin looked left and right, and said with satisfaction: "It doesn't matter if you are new or old, you have to abide by the rules." ”

"When adults ascend to the church, follow me when it's time to cheer."

"When you shouldn't make a sound, even if you have a fart, you have to clamp it tightly."

"If it disturbs the order of the public court and affects the adult's trial of the case, the adult is kind and broad-minded and doesn't care about you, but I won't!" She spat imposingly, "I walked ten miles in the middle of the night, and I had to sit at the door of your house and call your family to get up." ”

There was silence behind her.

No one wants to be called out of bed by her.

Wu Lin straightened his clothes, sat down firmly on the maza, and waited for Song Ning to come to the court.

The drums stopped, and Song Ning, who was dressed in an official uniform, came out of the back office and sat down after going to the public case.

In this case, because it was overturned, Shan Kai and Sun Weili both came.

After all, an old case that was sentenced to beheading has now been overturned, but it is not as simple as Song Ning simply raising the court to present evidence, counting up, I don't know how many officials are implicated.

"Bring the people involved!" Song Ning knocked on the wood.

Immediately, the relevant personnel were brought up one by one.

Songshan, who was unsteady and wanted to sit still, Han Shuo, who was poisoned and sleepy, Zhou He, who was also poisoned and sleepy, Zhang Biao's son Zhang Zhichao, Han Shuo's son Han Lianjiang, the owner of the house that rented a house to Yao Shan, the kidnapped Wuxian, the cousin of the victim Tang Jiao's brother, Tang Yun, a strange man, as well as two Yanling knives and a village map of Xu Luoyang that was traced and borrowed, and a Zidushan wrench.

The people of the court are sitting, lying, kneeling, some are awake and some are not awake.

Shan Kai rubbed his eyebrows, he also admired Song Ning very much, such a case, he asked himself if he was to investigate, he was probably impatient.

Those who can speak can't speak, but those who can't talk are saved.

Song Ning's ability is indeed worthy of the people's respect for her.

"Wuxian!" Song Ning said to Wu Xian, "You say it first." ”

Wu Xian replied: "That's the case, on the night of the fourteenth, I went to Jiang Ji to find Yao's shopkeeper for dinner......" He told Yao Shan about kidnapping him before and after, "Your Excellency found me in the abandoned mansion of the Tang Mansion. ”

Everyone heard about Yao's shopkeeper tying up Wuxian, but it was the first time they heard such a detailed experience, and they couldn't help but be curious about Yao's shopkeeper's identity.

"Yao Shan's layout, the only purpose is to make us pay attention to the case of Songshan destroying the seventeenth family of the Tang Mansion three years ago." Song Ning said loudly, "She took so much pain, the official naturally had to ask, fortunately, Songshan did not die, and the doctor said that after treatment, he would be sober." ”

"While waiting for Matsuyama to wake up, another thing happened. Yao Shan, who was originally missing, is really missing. Song Ning told the details of what he found in that small room that night.

After she finished speaking, she showed Yao Shan's portrait to the owner: "The woman who rented the room with you, isn't she?" ”

"Yes, that's her." The owner replied, "She was wearing a purple burse dress, and she didn't look like an ordinary woman." ”

Song Ning bowed: "After arriving here, the case has changed from Yao Shan's kidnapping of Wuxian and the layout to guide us to re-investigate the Tang Mansion extermination case, and the real relevant criminals and even murderers appeared and arrested Yao Shan who tried to overturn the case. ”

There was a breath outside, and someone said, "Then the case is even more complicated." ”

"It's really more complicated." "But before Yao Shan disappeared, she left us two important messages. ”

"First, Yao Shan gave him a Yanling knife six days before she kidnapped Wuxian."

Song Yuanshi presented the knife to Shan Kai and Sun Weili, and showed it to the onlookers.

"This is the Yanling knife that Yao Shan gave to Wuxian, and she told Wuxian that this is the weapon that Songshan has been wearing."

Someone outside whispered: "Songshan's Yanling Knife is famous, as long as anyone who has seen him knows it." ”

There is no doubt about this, not only the murderer knows, but many people know it.

Matsuyama should also be: "Yes, the weapons worn by the grass people are indeed Yanling knives." ”

"But," Song Ning paused, and Song Yuanshi took out another Yanling knife with a very tacit understanding, "There is also a Yanling knife here, and the two knives are almost different from the appearance." ”

Song and Yuan Shi showed it to everyone.

This is the murder weapon determined by the Yamen when the case was decided, and the knife wounds suffered by the deceased were very consistent in the examination at that time. Therefore, there is no doubt that this second Yanling knife must be a murder weapon. ”

"Actually, everyone only knows that Songshan's weapon is a Yanling knife, but they don't know that his knife has a history." Song Ning said and looked at the only strange man kneeling at the scene, and said, "Saber King, explain the origin of the Yanling Knife." ”

As soon as she introduced her, everyone exclaimed, even Shan Kai had heard of the Saber King, who in the army didn't want one of his knives?
