Chapter Ninety-Three: Reversal of the Case
Shen Ping, the attendant of the Zuo Scattered Cavalry, objected to the empress on the grounds that Chen Die's motive for killing was insufficient, the testimony was not credible, and the witnesses were suspicious. And Zhou Guanzhao also agreed to this request, and ordered the Criminal Department and Dali Temple to jointly preside over the retrial of the case and conduct the three divisions.
On the day of the three divisions, Chen Tongsheng changed into the official robe of the Dali Temple, and sat behind Zou Shiyun, the young secretary of the Dali Temple, with his head down.
The clothes Zou Shiyun brought her didn't fit, her shoulders were wide, but her hands were short, so Chen Tongsheng had to sit upright, hide what didn't look right as much as possible, and then try to stay still.
Luo Qian, the secretary of the Criminal Department, ordered Shen Ping to be summoned after stating the case.
Chen Tongsheng peeked at it, Shen Ping wore a round-necked red robe and walked in across the threshold, in terms of appearance, he was indeed exactly the same as what Chen Tongsheng saw on the night in prison, thin lips and thin eyes, red lips and white teeth, long eyebrows flying into the sideburns.
Song Zhilan said that he was a jade-faced little waiter, but he was really ugly, where is this jade-faced, this is simply handsome and almost demonic.
In Kyoto, there has always been a rumor in the left scattered cavalry to serve the people, and now it seems that there is some truth in this saying, after all, the person who looks so outstanding, can not be said to be one in a million, in short, in terms of posture, I am afraid that there is no minister in the court who can match it.
Chen Tongsheng looked at this face, subconsciously compared it, and thought, will Zhou Guanzhao be in a good mood after seeing Song Chuanbai's face, or will he be in a good mood after seeing Shen Ping's face? Immediately selfishly ranked Song Chuanbai above Shen Ping, anyway, she would be more happy when she saw Song Chuanbai's face, even objectively speaking, Shen Ping's appearance was too aggressive, like a knife that was extremely thin and sharp, but extremely fragile, and her face was the same as Chen Tongsheng, and she didn't like it herself.
Luo Qian asked: "Shen Ping, you were instructed to falsely accuse you by someone before, do you have any evidence?" ”
"Yes," Shen Ping replied, "The witness Biling is waiting outside the lobby, please summon the waiter, and you will know when you ask." ”
Chen Tongsheng had expected it and looked at the door. The woman Biling, whom she had asked everywhere about her whereabouts, had only heard and thought about it many times in her mind, stumbled up to the hall, she was whiter than ordinary people, so she looked extraordinarily delicate, but no matter how she was dressed and dressed, she could not hide her growing age. Biling is definitely not old, but she is already no longer as tender as the twenty-eight girl who can pinch out the water. As she grew older, she also had her courage, and she did not see the six gods in the public court of the three judges, so she quickly stabilized her mind and knelt down in a proper manner.
"Is it Biling down there?"
Biling's face looked a little strange, but she still raised her head and said, "It's the people's girl." ”
"Who are you in this case, and what do you have to say?"
Bi Ling replied: "The folk girl was originally a singer in a house, but then the master fell into the middle of the road, thinking that I had a skill, so he sold me to the music workshop, because of his age, he could only do miscellaneous work for others. Later, a guest came from other provinces, and when he saw that the folk girl looked like his deceased wife, he suddenly missed and loved me, so he bought me from the director of the music fang, and eliminated the slavery of the folk girl......"
Ge Gaozhan, the Qing of Dali Temple, coughed and said: "Above the court, just talk about the key points, and omit these trivial matters of life if they are not necessary." ”
Bi Ling's gaze turned to Ge Gaozhan, stayed on his face for a few seconds, and didn't know if he had listened or not, and continued: "The official died of illness not long after marrying the people's daughter, and only left a small residence in Kyoto, where the people's daughter has always lived. Until five days ago, the folk girl went to Hongguang Temple to pray, but was defiled by the traitor. ”
At this time, I only heard Shen Ping say: "Thanks to Miss Lin's help at this time, just yesterday, the thief who defiled Biling has been caught, and after interrogation, Chen Die was also one of his targets." ”
Luo Qian and Ge Gaozhan glanced at each other, and Zou Shiyun suddenly said: "In other words, Lord Shen Ping Shen didn't believe the words of the murdered woman, but instead believed in a shameless thief who specializes in bullying women?" With a few words of his empty mouth and white teeth, Chen Die's testimony was overturned? ”
Shen Ping showed a smile on his face, "That's really the case", and said: "Whether this is credible or not, Shaoqing will know if Chen Die and the thief came up and asked." ”
Chen Die was taken to the place of interrogation again, and with her was brought up, there was also an inconspicuous man, the man was wearing shackles, and the sweat was big on his head, and the person had already knelt down before he arrived.
The man's name is Hong Wu, a native of Fengchi, who does not learn all day long, and harms the township.
"Hong Wu," Luo Qian asked, "Do you know that there are two women in front of you?" ”
Hong Wu raised his head to look at this, turned to look at that one again, and said in a low voice, "Yes." ”
"Do you know everything?"
"We all know."
Chen Die's eyes widened, although she didn't know why she was suddenly brought to the court, she already felt that something was wrong, she looked at Hong Wu with disgust and vigilance, and moved to the side slightly.
Luo Qian asked again: "Chen Die, do you know Hong Wu?" ”
Chen Die replied coldly: "I don't know." ”
"Hong Wu, you said you knew this woman, but she didn't know you, what's going on? How did you meet her? ”
Hong Wudao: "She doesn't want to admit it!" Outside Hongguang Temple that day, before I had time to leave, she woke up, crying and asking me to pay for my life. So I told her, if you want to blame, blame the son who asked you here! If you make trouble with him, maybe you can get a concubine, if you go to sue me, not only will you not get any benefits, but you will also lose your reputation. If you provoke Lao Tzu, you will kill your family. After he finished speaking, he immediately added: "I scared her if I killed her, I didn't have the courage to kill at all, I just wanted her to shut up." ”
"Nonsense!" Chen Die glared angrily: "I haven't seen you at all!" I don't know you at all! ”
Ge Gaozhan asked, "Hong Wu?" ”
Hong Wu panicked and said, "I didn't lie, my lord, what the grass people just said is true!" It's she who doesn't admit it! The grass people have proof! ”
"Later, I heard that she really relied on the son of the Zhang family, and it didn't involve me, so I thought about asking her for wine money...... Hong Wuyi pointed at Chen Die and said: "I stopped her when there were few people, she took the silver bracelet on her wrist and gave it to me in order to send me quickly, and also viciously taught me not to go again, otherwise without her hands, someone will think of me as an eyesore and get rid of me." ”
Luo Qian frowned when he heard the last sentence, and Ge Gaozhan said, "What about the bracelet?" ”
"Bracelet, bracelet," Hong Wu hesitated, "I took the bracelet as ......"
"The bracelet is with me." Shen Ping took out an object from his arms: "And the testimony of the pawnshop owner, the pawnshop owner can testify that this bracelet is indeed owned by Hong Wu." The boss said that Hong Wu was a lazy man with industrious limbs, who often pawned his wealth when he couldn't eat, and redeemed it when he had money. Of course, if you don't believe me, you can summon the pawnshop owner to ask for it yourself. ”
"What's more," Shen Ping continued: "This bracelet was specially made by the Chen family for their children in the shop, and it is engraved with the eight characters of their birthday, as well as the private engraving of the silver shop, so it can't be wrong." ”
The bracelet was passed up, Ge Gaozhan and Luo Qian both glanced at it, and Luo Qian asked, "Chen Die, are you born on May 19?" ”
Chen Die pursed her lips tightly and didn't say a word, her eyes were resentful.
"Chen Die, Lord Shangshu is asking you." Zou Shiyun said: "Yes or no, just answer." ”
“...... Be. ”
Shen Ping smiled coldly.
Luo Qian then asked, "Then this bracelet is yours?" ”
“......”
"Chen Die, you will be punished for delaying time, you don't have to ask for hardship."
“...... No. After a moment of silence, Chen Die finally said, "It's not mine." ”
Hong Wu immediately turned around and said, "This bracelet is clearly from you to me!" You've all been caught here, what's so hard to admit! ”
At this moment, Luo Qian asked slowly: "So, according to Hong Wu's testimony, what did you say before, someone would get rid of him if Hong Wu was in the way?" “
Chen Die stiffened his neck and said, "I said, I don't know him." ”
"Don't lie."
"I didn't lie," Chen Die said with a firm expression, "I don't know him." ”
"You ......" Hong Wu almost stretched out his hand and pointed at her: "You woman is really thick-skinned, and she is telling lies." Adults believe me, my Hong Wu is true! ”
The mutual bargaining between these two people alone actually proves nothing.
If Chen Die's words are not credible, the words of a prodigal like Hong Wu are even more unbelievable.
Shen Ping saw that Hong Wu's words were almost finished, and continued: "In addition, there is another matter. When I was instigated by the quality control to instigate Chen Die's murder, the most powerful evidence was that I gave away the private residential land that the Chen family had originally purchased in several places in Jiangnan, and Chen Die even really took the land deed, but in fact, what adults don't know is that my father sold those private residential fields to others a few years ago. ”
Shen Ping bent his lips and smiled, and the corners of his eyes were like a scimitar, which was very gaudy: "I'm not afraid of adult jokes when I say it, I felt stupid and dull earlier, and I was not worthy of serving Your Majesty with all adults, so I often wanted to leave the officialdom, buy some properties in Jiangnan, and enjoy this life comfortably." But my father thought that this was an idea that only people who had no ambition and spent their lives in vain, and in a fit of anger, he not only scolded me for my life, but also hid from me to sell all the property I had purchased before, so as to cut off my mind. ”
Shen Ping glanced at Chen Die extremely coldly and meanly, and said: "What Chen Die handed over is an invalid piece of waste paper, and after the transaction between my father and the buyer, he will also send out the old deed, as for why it is still found out by someone with a heart at this moment and used to frame me, then ask the person who took out this deed!" ”
Chen Die's face suddenly turned pale when she heard this, and she suddenly looked up at Zou Shiyun.
...... Shen Ping really didn't give the Chen family a contract, and at the beginning, after Chen Tongsheng put forward his intention, Zou Shiyun came up with a specific plan to frame Shen Ping!
