Chapter 121: Trial of the case
In fact, the Zhang family and his wife were very skeptical that Murong Jun would really keep his promise, but they were now at a complete disadvantage, and life and death were in Murong Jun's hands, so no matter whether they trusted Murong Jun or not, they had no room for resistance.
After having the line of Cuishan, Murong Jun quickly started to make arrangements, and the group of people who fled with the arms didn't seem to have thought that the destination they were going to had already been leaked by others, and by the time they arrived at Cuishan with the arms, it had already been occupied by officers and soldiers.
Their intrusion was almost like a sheep's mouth, and it took little effort, and the illegal arms were confiscated by the government, and those responsible for escorting the arms were almost all caught.
It all seemed to be going well, but it was a pity that I didn't catch the shadow of the person behind the scenes.
Murong Jun casually glanced at the captured people on the side, and finally his gaze fell on the face of a young man with a look of resentment, "Take him back alone." β
Zhang Su saw his parents again, who he thought were dead or imprisoned.
"My good son, are you alright?" As soon as Zhang's mother saw Zhang Su's injured appearance, tears fell at once, and she pulled her son up and down, her face full of distress.
But Zhang Su was far less excited than his mother, he glanced suspiciously at his parents who were not injured at all, and then looked at the guards outside the door, as if he was in disbelief, his face suddenly became a little hideous, "Regarding the whereabouts of the escort arms, did you leak it?" β
Zhang Su's eyes widened, and his eyes seemed to be on fire.
As soon as Zhang's mother's crying stopped, she involuntarily turned her head to look at Zhang's father on the side.
Although it is not explicitly stated, everything is clear enough.
The expression on Zhang Su's face changed again and again, and in the end, even looking at his biological parents, his eyes were like looking at the enemy, full of resentment, "You know that because of your words, those people who we managed to escape died and were caught, and even the arms we worked so hard to make were all given to Rong Chao as gifts!" β
"That's a couple of years of work! I was sold by you like this! You are the sinners of the Li Dynasty, that is, you have ruined the hard work of so many people in our village for several years, and you have exposed the master's plan in advance! You guys are damned! β
In the last sentence, Zhang Su's tone was extremely heavy, and from him, the Zhang family and his wife really felt the killing intent.
Seeing this, Zhang's mother involuntarily took a few steps back, looking at the young man in front of her with a distorted face, Zhang's mother couldn't even believe that this was her son who was conceived and gave birth in October, and then worked hard to raise her son for almost twenty years.
As for Zhang's father on the side, he was already trembling with Zhang Su's anger, he stepped forward, raised his hand, and slapped the person in front of him fiercely, "Rebel, who are you talking to?!" β
Zhang's father's eyes widened angrily, and the anger on his body was not weaker than that of his own son, "The change of dynasties is inevitable, as the backbone of the village, you should have tried your best to bring a peaceful and peaceful life to the village, but look at you, for that illusory and impossible plan, what has the entire village and the people in the entire village become?!" β
"Do you think that without your mother and mine going around, you can still stand here and talk to me and lose your temper with me!" Zhang's father pointed at his son with a slightly trembling finger, and his chest rose and fell violently because he was too excited.
However, after Zhang Su listened to Zhang's father's words, instead of showing any remorse on his face, on the contrary, the resentment in his eyes became more and more intense, "You traitor! β
After leaving this sentence, Zhang Su walked outside without looking back, but none of the servants and subordinates guarding outside stepped forward to stop himβMurong Jun had already given an order in advance, and the Zhang family could leave at any time without hindrance.
However, after Zhang Su left, a shadow soon followed him in the dark - Zhang Su was the person who had contact with the main envoy in the mouth of the Zhang family and his wife, and he might be able to find out the identity of the main envoy by the way.
Now that the arms have been successfully found, Murong Jun has no time to take care of the follow-up matters, and after pushing it to Zhao Hai, he rushed to the imperial city with the prisoner cart escorting the prisoners back to the imperial city.
In fact, there is no difference between the prison of the Criminal Department and the ordinary prison, except that the place is larger, there are fewer prisoners, and there are more torture instruments placed outside.
Looking at the little girl with a calm face in front of him, Wang Ruicai, the left attendant of the Criminal Department, couldn't help but secretly admire - he can still be so calm in the prison of the Criminal Department, it seems that it is indeed as the intelligence says, the person in front of him, who is only thirteen or fourteen years old, is not simple!
"Suspect Lin Yingxue, the mother of the Hua family reported to the official, saying that you poisoned the third son of the Hua family because you were dissatisfied with the marriage contract, can you plead guilty?" Wang Ruicai held the testimony in his hand that had been prepared early in the morning, and seemed to be ready to ask Lin Yingxue to sign and sign at any time.
However, Lin Yingxue snorted lightly when she heard this, "My lord said that I didn't kill this person, why should I confess?" β
"You ......" Seeing that Lin Yingxue was not cooperative, Wang Ruicai frowned and was about to say something, but at this time, there was a chaotic sound of footsteps behind him.
"The Third Highness has arrived." The guards on the side reported loudly.
When Wang Ruicai heard this, he didn't care about continuing to interrogate Lin Yingxue, he got up from his chair with a bone, hurriedly turned around and saluted: "Your Highness has seen Your Highness." β
There were outsiders there, so Lin Yingxue also got up and greeted Wang Ruicai together.
Murong Jun raised his hand casually, signaling the two of them to excuse himself, and then sat down without waiting for Wang Rui to greet him.
Seeing that Wang Ruicai looked like he wanted to speak and stopped, Murong Jun hooked the corners of his lips and said lightly: "The father of this case has ordered me to cooperate in the trial, and the documents have been sent to the Criminal Department, and Lord Wang will know when he goes out in a while." β
After listening to Murong Jun's words, Wang Ruicai's heart suddenly 'chuckled' - he had already received the order from above, no matter what, he wanted Lin Yingxue to confess his guilt, but he didn't expect that a third prince would be inserted halfway, and it would be difficult to handle this time.
Wang Ruicai wiped the cold sweat that didn't exist on his forehead, and smiled kindly: "Since that's the case, I don't know if His Royal Highness has any advice?" β
Looking at the smiling appearance of the person next to him, Murong Jun hooked the corners of his lips and did not take it to heart. He picked up the testimony on the table and looked at it, and asked casually: "I just came here to cooperate in the investigation of the case, and it mainly depends on Lord Wang, I don't know where Lord Wang has just interrogated, just continue at this time." β
Seeing Murong Jun's breezy appearance, Wang Ruicai couldn't see what the idea of this Royal Highness the Third Prince was up. Therefore, at this time, he had no choice but to say truthfully: "The lower official is interrogating the suspect's criminal process." The mother of the Hua family, the Li family, and many subordinates of the Hua family all pointed out that the third young master of the Hua family was poisoned after seeing the suspect, which shows that this person in front of him is the real murderer! β
Wang Ruicai was a suspect one by one, and finally directly identified Lin Yingxue as the murderer, that excited look, if people who don't know still think that the Lord Wang in front of him was at the scene of the crime at that time.
However, after Murong Jun listened to Wang Ruicai's words, his face showed the same sneer as Lin Yingxue, "Lord Wang's words are not logical. Murong Jun pointed to the testimony on the paper with his finger as he said, "First, if it is really as Lord Wang said, then those subordinates did not see the fifth lady poisoning Hua Yuyan with their own eyes. Second, this testimony only says that the deceased was poisoned, so may I ask Mr. Wang, what kind of poison was in the deceased, and where did the poison come from? β
Murong Jun's words were sharp, and after some questioning, a little cold sweat really broke out on Wang Ruicai's forehead.
"Back to the Third Highness. Although these witnesses did not see the suspect do it with their own eyes at the time, according to the witnesses, there were only two people in the courtyard at that time, the suspect and the deceased, and in the end, the deceased died, but the suspect survived, and it was obvious who the murderer was. β
"As for the poison just mentioned by the three palaces, the poison in the deceased was highly poisonous and he died on the spot after taking it. This was verified by the alcohol that the two drank at the time, and later the government also found a small amount of Heding Red in the room where the suspect had stayed...... All this is enough to prove that the person in front of him is the murderer! β
After Wang Ruicai finished speaking, a slight smugness flashed on his face, and he seemed to say: How about it, I have explained everything, what else do you have to say?
Murong Jun took the smugness on Wang Ruicai's face into his eyes, and he put down the testimony in his hand, still with a calm face.
"Lord Wang is wrong, since the witness did not see the process of Miss Five's action with his own eyes, it cannot be determined that the murderer must be Miss Five. Second, Hedinghong's poison is extremely rare, and the fact that the poison is found in the room where Miss Five once lived cannot prove anything, and Lord Wang needs to find out where the poison came from and confirm that the poison is indeed owned by Miss Fifth before the case can be convicted. β
It would be fine if Murong Jun relied on his identity to forcibly exonerate Lin Yingxue, but now every word Murong Jun said was logical and interlocking, and Wang Rui opened his mouth, but he couldn't even say a word of rebuttal.
Murong Jun saw that what he said was almost there, so he turned his gaze to Lin Yingxue, who had been watching the play on the sidelines, "Fifth Miss rest assured, the clear person will clear himself, if Fifth Miss is really framed, Lord Wang and I will definitely find out about this matter and return Fifth Miss to a clean house." β
Murong Jun said solemnly, his appearance was really righteous and awe-inspiring, and he didn't see a trace of wanting to bend the law for personal gain.
Lin Yingxue tried hard to hold back her smile, and also learned from Murong Jun's appearance, and replied with a straight look: "The little girl believes in the Third Highness and Lord Wang, so this matter will be a lot of trouble. β
After Murong Jun was released from the prison, Ming Ying, his personal guard who had been following him, quickly walked over, "Your Highness, what you asked your subordinates to check, your subordinates have already checked it." β
As she spoke, Mingying took out a small stack of papers from her arms. After Murong Jun took it, he flipped through it casually and threw it back to him, "Where does Mrs. Hua live now?" β
Mrs. Hua is an important witness, if the court is held to hear the case in the future, the Hua family will definitely come forward, so now the Hua family must be in the imperial city, but it is relatively hidden.
"Back to Your Highness, my subordinates have found out, and now I am in a house on the outskirts of the city." Ming Yingfu put away his things again and replied with a blank face.
