Song Ning hid in Zhao Yi's room and muttered.

"Don't you think the aroma is familiar?"

Zhao Yi had just taken a bath, his wet hair was draped, he threw the handkerchief to Song Ning and motioned for her to wipe his hair.

Song Ning naturally took it.

"I don't know today, I'll know sooner or later."

Song Ning nodded: "On the way back tomorrow night, how about we arrest him in the carriage and interrogate him together?" ”

Zhao Yi looked at her, and Song Ning nodded encouragingly.

"Okay, you have the final say." And he said, "Leaving tomorrow night?" ”

"No, the matter of killing Tang Taiwen is already burning his eyebrows, and he can't wait." Song Ning said.

……

The next morning, as soon as the morning dawned, someone from outside the Luoyang County Ya had already come over and occupied the best viewing position, and those who came a little later were already separated by seven or eight rows.

When Song Ning arrived, the road was already crowded, and he had to climb over the wall through the back door of the county office.

Zhao Yi didn't want to be sneaky, and swaggered to the county government with gongs and drums.

Luoyang County Commander Wang Yang Dan learned about Jin Dong's imprisonment yesterday afternoon, and the Henan Provincial Envoy also sent people to investigate, and it is estimated that he was also panicked and wanted to go to the capital to defend himself.

Wang Yangdan has nothing to argue, after all, even if his fold is gone, it is impossible to reach the heavens if he does not clearly step on whose statement and stand in line.

His best choice now is to serve Song Ning obediently and skillfully, showing a very strong introspective attitude.

Let Song Ning be a little lighter when he is holding people accountable. After all, there's a good chance he's the one who's ultimately to blame.

"There is Lord Lao Wang today, have you found all the people you have found?" Song Ning asked.

Wang Yangdan should be: "I was notified before nightfall yesterday, and they came early in the morning." ”

"Then let's go to the court, and I'll listen to you on your side." Song Ning said.

Wang Yangdan should be.

Wang Zhutou beat the drum, and the drum beat made the atmosphere more enthusiastic, and someone whispered: "The case can be overturned, but it is not easy to convict." ”

"Well, I've heard that the murderer is too shrewd, and his ass is wiped clean."

"Yang Zhenghe has always been smart, when he was studying, his husband said that he was smart, and later he did business, and soon took over the family's business, and let his four brothers-in-law obey him."

"But no matter how smart Shang is, he is not Lord Song's opponent, Lord Song must have a way to make him confess."

Everyone looked eagerly into the courtroom.

Song Ning patted the hall in surprise and said: "There are two cases in this hall today, one is the case of Su Qingniang in April five years ago, and the other is the case of Liao Miao in October last year. ”

"Hesitating Su Qingniang's case has been closed, and the murderer Wang Xuezhu, who was convicted that year, has been beheaded in the autumn of the following year, so after the original verdict is overturned in this case, this official will apply for compensation, although it is ...... It's hard to make up, but it's also the compassion of the imperial court, and it's better than nothing. ”

Wang Yao covered his face and cried in the back office. Song Ning is right, people are dead, but if they can prove their innocence, it is also the best consolation.

"This hall will first talk about Su Qingniang's case, and strive to overturn Wang Xuezhu's murder suspicion." Song Ning said for a moment and said loudly, "Take Su Qingniang's sister-in-law, Su Wang." ”

Su Wang was brought up, and she knelt under the hall.

Song Ning said: "Five years ago, the main witness in the case was Su Wang. At that time, she was the first discoverer, and told the yamen that she saw Wang Xuezhu's untidy clothes at that time. This is also the most important part of the Yamen's finalization! ”

"Last month, the official inadvertently turned over this case and had doubts about the time of death recorded on the corpse at that time, so the official went to Luoyang with such questions."

"The first suspicion in this case is the time of the crime. From the time the deceased Su Qingniang went out to the time when she was found dead by the eyewitness Wang, there were only four quarters of an hour, which also had to be cut out of a quarter of an hour on the road, that is, three quarters of an hour after the whole case was from the beginning to the end. ”

"Three quarters of an hour, from the beginning of the case to the end of the case, and it was still a section of the village that happened in the early morning, when there were many villagers around the forest who were beating pigweed, which is also the reason why many people arrived when the witness Su Wangshi shouted for help."

"So, in terms of time, just three quarters of an hour is too rushed."

"Secondly, my own official still thinks it is strange, Wang Xuezhu is so familiar with the busy time of the people in the village, why did he commit the crime in the morning? As long as Su Qingniang shouted, she would be heard immediately, but in fact, no one heard any movement before the eyewitness Su Wang shouted. ”

"This is a doubt about the time and place of the crime. Next is the doubt about Wang Xuezhu's motives, it is rumored in the village that Wang Xuezhu likes the beautiful Su Qingniang, which is unknown and uncertain, but one thing can be determined, on the day of the crime, Wang Xuezhu was going to do the most important thing in his life, studying. Mr. Qian promised to teach him to read for free, which was more important to him than marrying a wife and having children, how could he do such a thing when his dream was about to come true? ”

"After learning about these accumulated more questions, this official had to go back to the source, where the witness Su Wang was at that time."

Everyone gasped. Although everyone knew something about the Wang clan in Lizi Village, but the door was closed that day, and not many people knew about it, and even if they did, they didn't necessarily know everything, so when they heard Song Ning say it at first glance, everyone was stunned.

Did Su Wang lie?

Song Ning was shocked and shouted: "Su Wang, you tell the whole picture you saw at that time, and you must not lie, add oil and vinegar to false remarks." ”

"Yes!" Su Wang lowered her head and recounted what she had seen that day, "...... When I arrived, in fact, the grass was overwhelmed, I saw Wang Xuezhu panicking with his trouser belt, and then I saw the young lady who fell in the grass and showed her face, so I rushed over. ”

"At that time, I was preconceived for a while, and secondly, I also decided that Wang Xuezhu was the murderer."

She still didn't want to talk about Su Qingniang being deceived.

"Some things in the Su Wang clan are unavoidable, you can tell the truth." Song Ning said.

Su Wang's should be.

She told Su Qingniang that she was deceived by a man to get her feelings and chastity, and people all over the street scolded her, some people said that Su Qingniang was frivolous and indecent, and some people scolded the deceitful man Pig and dog.

Everyone's emotions were very excited.

"Quiet." After Song Ning reprimanded, he continued, "So, the above can prove that Su Wang's testimony is wrong!" ”

"Since it is a mistake, then combined with the conditions of the crime at the time, Wang Xuezhu's non-existent motive for killing, this official is hereby to overturn Wang Xuezhu's identity as a murderer. After overturning, let's reorganize the case, this case, there are two suspects at the moment, Wang Xuezhu, who was seen by witnesses, and the man who had emotional entanglements with Su Qingniang. ”

"Before Su Qingniang died, she had a chat with her sister, who was young at the time and didn't remember much, but she knew that the other party's name was Wen Gongzi, and he was a talent who was admitted to school, and his family background was very good, and he was unmarried."

"In addition to these, Su Qingniang also said that the first time the two of them met was in the bamboo forest, the other party talked about the piano, the sound of the piano was elegant, like mountains and flowing water, and the man seemed to be a fairy."

"There are these conditions, Wen Gongzi, playing the piano, Xiucai, and a handsome unmarried young man."

As soon as Song Ning finished speaking, someone in the crowd shouted: "Sun Shaowen!" ”

"Yes, Sun Shaowen."

"There is also a Xue Wen, but Xue Wen is not handsome in appearance."

"It's not Sun Shaowen, didn't the adults detain Yang Zhenghe and Yang Zhengben?"

"Yes, yes, Yang Zhenghe's name is Yuwen, and later it was replaced by Yu Zheng." As soon as he said it, everyone suddenly realized, "Yang Zhenghe is a sanctimonious person!" ”

At the door, everyone continued to talk back and forth.

Song Ning deliberately stopped, just to listen to their chat, this case for her, she relied on the power of the masses.

So, the official followed the conditions to find Sun Shaowen and Xue Wen, and after understanding, he ruled out the two, and the clues seemed to be broken. So the official changed direction, thinking that someone was fraudulently using the name of Wen Gongzi, so he suspected Yang Zhengben. ”

"When verifying Yang Zhengben, the official found the wooden house in the bamboo forest, and found some evidence in the wooden house, and Yang Zhengben also took the initiative and confessed smoothly, he confessed that he killed Su Qingniang."

Song Ning patted Tang Mu and said, "Bring Yang Zhengben up." ”

In just two days, Yang Zhengben was emaciated and emaciated, almost out of phase. He has a reputation in his body, and he doesn't need to kneel, but he still kneels.

"Yang Zhengben, until now, do you still want to continue to say that you are a murderer?"

At the door, Xue Wen and several people yelled: "Zhengben, you are sober!" ”

Yang Zhengben was stunned for a moment, looked up at Song Ning, and said in a hoarse voice: "My lord, can I meet my brother?" ”

"Yes!"

Song Ning asked Yang Zhenghe to be brought up. Although Yang Zhenghe's complexion was not good, it was by no means bad, he came in slowly, hugged his fists and saluted Zhao Yi and Song Ning.

Song Ning didn't kneel on him.

"Brother!" Yang Zhengben stood up and shouted his brother again in a suppressed voice.

He doesn't know what to say, and he can't ask if you're a murderer, because he knows!

He shouted Yang Zhenghe for only one purpose, he wanted to get his brother's response, and he was reluctant to encourage or stop him.

is a deep brotherhood, and he is willing to bear the sin and die.

"You shouldn't do anything stupid." Yang Zhenghe said ambiguously, "This is not the place you should come to. ”

"Brother?" Yang Zhengben is not stupid, and he understands the meaning of Yang Zhenghe's words.

Yang Zhenghe said sharply: "Don't call me again, just say whatever you want!" ”

Yang Zhengben shook, his eyes were full of disappointment.

"Original!" At the door, Zhang Dingyun shouted, "Don't do meaningless things!" ”

Lord Song has said so, if you still insist on confessing your guilt, isn't this tantamount to looking for a lottery? With so many people's hearings, even if Lord Song wanted to spare you once in the end, he couldn't do it.

Song Ning has no talents, there are many talented people, and it is impossible for her to pity a person who takes other people's lives and prospects to fulfill her brotherhood.

"Okay, the official doesn't ask, just kneel honestly. I don't look down on people like you. Song Ning waved his hand to make Yang Zhengben kneel to the side, "Don't get in the way." ”

Yang Zhengben knelt on one side with his head down.

"It doesn't matter if Yang Zhengben admits that he is the murderer or not, and it is impossible for the official to listen to him alone, so the official followed the clues and found his brother Yang Zhenghe."

Song Ning continued: "Yang Zhenghe, do you know Su Qingniang? ”

Yang Zhenghe held his head high and said: "Back to the words of adults, I know." ”

He recalled for a long time last night, Song Ning went to search his home, and it was very likely that he would find something given to him by Su Qingniang.

Instead of letting Song Ning refute him, it was better for him to say it himself.

"How did you meet?" Song Ning looked at Yang Zhenghe, not surprised his answer, this person's psychological quality is so strong that ten Yang Zhengben can't compare.

Yang Zhenghe replied: "I'm a romantic person, I like to mess with flowers and grass outside, the man you discussed earlier, the man who made Su Qingniang pregnant and abandoned her was me." ”

"Not only do I know her, but I also know many women who have at least sixteen or seventeen women, so much so that not all of them have an affair, but it is true that they show mercy everywhere."

Song Ning looked at him with a sneer, this person was too shrewd, he took the initiative to say what she had worked hard to check yesterday, and robbed her of her words, and some of the things she was going to say next became meaningless.

"It seems that after a night of thinking, you have figured it out." Song Ning said, "I'm going to make it out today." Now that you've spoken, you might as well move on! ”

Look, if you rob me, I'll just let you say enough.

Yang Zhengben looked at his brother in disbelief.

The door once again resounded with angry scolding.

"Among these women, there are Su Qingniang and Liao Miao's from last year's case, I have known him for a long time, and after she got married, we still maintained a relationship." Yang Zhenghe said.

"I also often go to the private room of the inn, and the house in the bamboo forest is also the place where I take the woman to tryst."

"In order to be with me, they would give me all kinds of purses, and they would tie hair and so on. You must have found it, right? ”

"I am also very good to my wife at home, she has been in poor health in recent years, she can't have children, although I like children, I don't dislike her, and I don't plan to stop marrying again, I just play with those women. But I also gave them money in the process, and to put it bluntly, they just took what they needed. ”

"Most of them understand it, and they have also received a good dowry from me, and they have found a wishful husband."

"My lord, if these women come to accuse me of adultery, then I will confess to the crime." Yang Zhenghe said, "I admit that I was wrong, but if you want to impose a trumped-up sin on me and let me bear it, I will not agree!" ”

"My lord is famous for the name of Qingtian, and you came to Luoyang just because you saw a case with a little suspicion, so you didn't hesitate to travel hundreds of miles to re-investigate. You've shown us what the blue sky looks like, I'...... You should call yourself a student, and the student is very calm, because I believe that under the justice of adults, those who are clean will clear themselves, and there will be no unjust cases. ”

"Hardship, please speak!"

Song Ning looked at him with his arms crossed and sighed.
