Chapter 10: Chicken Blood
The mansion is two lifelike stone lions, the left and right are equipped with more than one person high animal skin drum, the three words of Dali Temple hang high on the door, majestic and dignified.
"Hey, why are there so many people in front of this Dali Temple?"
Qi Xian'e was also puzzled, there would be no onlookers in Dali Temple for no reason.
"Let's take a look."
Ansu pulled Qi Xian'e and left, not for anything else, just because the Dali Temple was shining, she didn't need to look carefully, she knew that at least one of the male and female protagonists was here.
Ansu didn't care about her identity, and pulled Qi Xian'e into the crowd, but Qi Xian'e was a serious Miss Qi Fu, how could she let herself squeeze around in the crowd?
"If you really want to see the excitement, find a government official to report and ask the prefect to prepare two seats for us."
Qi Xian'e grabbed Ansu, Chunliu also caught up, and when she heard what her young lady meant, she consciously went to find the servant.
Soon the two were invited into the lobby, and Dali Temple arranged a screen for them, and the two sat behind the screen, seeing that the hall was clear, but others couldn't see them.
"Ascension!" The officials shouted, and Dali Temple Cheng and Ge Yanmin walked into the hall side by side in official uniforms, followed by the master and the two officials.
Dali Temple tried the case, Dali Temple Cheng should sit in the lobby, the master set up a special table on the left side to sort out the file, and Ge Yanmin as an observer set up a chair on the right side of the lobby, but his chair was higher than Dali Temple.
Dali Temple was shocked and began to try the case, and the audience was silent.
The four characters hanging high above the lobby are the most eye-catching, and there are no other decorations, creating a solemn and silent atmosphere.
The master opened the file unhurriedly and read in a deep voice:
"Today, Li Xiaoer was found tragically dead at home, with three knives in his body, died of blood loss, and the murder weapon was a pig-killing knife, which was found in Li Xiaoer's heart."
Dali Sicheng nodded: "Take the suspect." ”
Soon brought in three defendants, a woman over half a hundred years old, a crying little lady, and a big man with a fierce face, all three of whom knelt down and bowed.
Dali Temple Cheng asked in a majestic voice, "Who is in the hall, report the name." ”
The strong man spoke first, his voice thick and high.
"Zhao Zhongtian, the grass man, is the butcher of Li Xiaoer's door, but he heard the movement and went to check, and he was involved in the case for no reason, and he hoped that the adult would investigate it and return the villain's innocence."
"The folk girl Li Chen's family, is Mrs. Li Xiaoer, the death of her husband really has nothing to do with me, I sleep heavily on weekdays, I really don't hear the sound, otherwise I ......"
Li Chen only said a few words, and he cried speechlessly.
"The folk woman Zhang Wang's is Li Xiaoer's neighbor, but our two families live far away, and there is no contact on weekdays, but it is Zhao Zhongtian's mother-in-law, who said that she bumped into me coming out of their house. The women of the people are wronged! I see! She just wanted to excuse Zhao Zhongtian, because they had a pig-killing knife at home. ”
Zhang Wang's momentum was violent, and he was not afraid at all, so he almost pointed at Zhao Zhongtian's nose and scolded.
"You crazy woman, the pig-killing knife is my family's knife, they all say that you were covered in blood when you were arrested, I see, you did it."
Zhao Zhongtian was extremely murderous, and he was not afraid of her, so he reasoned in court.
"Smack-"
Dali Temple Cheng once again slapped the shocking wood, "Bring a witness." ”
The so-called human witness is to identify Zhao Liu, the woman of Zhang Wang's family.
"My lord, I did see Zhang Wang's hands full of blood appear near the door of Li Xiaoer's house."
"Phew, full of nonsense! When was I near Xiao Er's house? My blood is the blood of the chicken that I got up early to kill! ”
It is said that three women are in one play, and Zhang Wang's and Zhao Liu's are not far behind.
"My lord, Zhao Liu is Zhao Zhongtian's mother-in-law, and she can't be counted as a witness."
Zhang Wang's words made Dali Temple embarrassed, this public said that the public was reasonable, and the mother-in-law said that the mother-in-law was reasonable, and it was a mess for a while.
"Dingwang Shizi, you see?"
He set his eyes on Ge Yanmin for help.
Ge Yanmin said: "Present Zhang Wang's bloody clothes." ”
The official took a dark bloody coat and handed it to Ge Yanmin.
Ge Yanmin picked up the bloody clothes and sniffed them lightly, then put them down, and said, "It is indeed chicken blood." ”
Zhao Liu was not convinced, "How can the prince conclude that it is chicken blood?" ”
"Bring up the bloody clothes of the dead."
Ge Yanmin ignored Zhao Liu.
The official stepped forward with the bloody clothes, and the onlookers avoided them one after another, because the bloody clothes were too smelly.
The salty smell instantly filled the entire lobby, and Qi Xian'e directly showed discomfort.
Ansu hurriedly handed her a glass of water.
"The taste and color of these two bloody clothes are not the same, they are not the same kind of blood at all, and judging from the large amount of blood stains at the scene, even if Li Xiaoer's blood runs dry, he will not stain so much blood on Zhang Wang's clothes."
Ge Yanmin looked at the two bloody clothes, took the towel handed by the servant and cleaned his hands.
"But I saw ......"
"Above the court, Hugh is talking nonsense!"
Zhao Liu still wanted to argue, but Fu Yin Gao shouted and interrupted her.
"With a murder weapon."
Ge Yanmin said unhurriedly.
The official had already prepared and directly presented the blood-stained pig-killing knife.
Ge Yanmin didn't touch the murder weapon, but just looked at it twice.
"This is a brand-new knife, usually people don't need to kill pigs, go to the shop that sells knives, who bought a pig-killing knife recently." The son is strategizing and generous.
The admiring look in Qi Xian'e's eyes was undisguised in front of An Su.
Zhao Zhongtian in the hall saw the pig-killing knife, and his face turned pale with fright.
"Big ...... My lord, don't check it, this knife was bought by grass people. Zhao Zhongtian kowtowed with remorse.
"Zhao Zhongtian, are you guilty?" The Dali Temple in the hall took the opportunity to photograph the shocking wood and intimidate Zhao Zhongtian.
"Adult—Adult!" Zhao Zhongtian hurriedly kowtowed twice, "I went to buy this knife, but I sold it to Zhang Wang's family." ”
Zhang Wang angrily pointed at Zhao Zhongtian's nose again, "What nonsense are you talking about?" I can see that the two of you have colluded and want to blame me! ”
"We have no grievances with you, why should we blame you!" Zhao Liu did not lose either.
"Bang-" Dali Temple Cheng slapped the shocking wood again. "In the court, you must not make noise without asking."
Ge Yanmin stood up and studied the knife carefully, "Zhao Zhongtian, you said that you sold this knife to Zhang Wang's family?" ”
"Exactly, a few days ago, Zhang Wang's went to buy meat, and when he saw that my knife was good, he asked me to buy one, and I also asked her what she wanted to do with the pig killing knife." Zhao Zhongtian prostrate on the ground, "She only said cutting vegetables, I saw that she really wanted it, so I promised to buy one for her, this knife was given to her the day before yesterday." ”
Zhao Zhongtian's rhetoric was pale and weak, and he also knew that his words were not credible, so he kowtowed vigorously to Ge Yanmin.
"Big joke! How could I find a butcher to buy a knife! Zhang Wang scolded again, she had been scolded for a long time, and she didn't care that she was in court now.
"Smack-"
Dali Temple had to slap the shocking wood again to maintain order in the hall.
