Chapter 36: Lighting a Cigarette and Defending Grievances (New Book for Collection)
The next day, Dali Temple.
Yu Chi Zhenjin sat high on the court, his eyes were sharp, and he said loudly: "Bring the prisoner up!" ”
Soon, Kwong Zhao escorted the lame man with his hands and feet in shackles.
The lame man also had scars on his body, hideous and terrifying, apparently after some torture.
Dali Temple is not a place for good men and women, and torture is what they do best.
In the original movie, in order to investigate the whereabouts of the Dongdao people, they arrested and tortured the innocent blacksmiths who made the masks.
If Di Ren hadn't been able to break the siege, these blacksmiths would probably have been imprisoned.
Although Yu Chi Zhenjin can be called a good official, he will do everything to solve the case.
Yu Chi Zhenjin looked at the lame man below and said coldly: "Chu He, you are guilty!" ”
Chu He is the name of a lame man, of course, as for whether it is his real name, it is unknown.
Chu He showed a blank look and said, "My lord, what is the crime of the grass people? ”
Yu Chi Zhenjin snorted coldly and said, "You and the Wang clan teamed up to kill Li Guangsheng, and destroyed the corpse, and you dare to quibble?!" ”
Chu He coughed and defended: "My lord, Dali Temple also needs to come up with evidence to handle the case, without evidence, force the grass people to admit their guilt, if this matter spreads, my lord is afraid that his reputation will not be guaranteed." ”
Ye Qingzhou's eyebrows on the side were slightly raised, this guy is very artistic in speaking.
not only got rid of the blame, but also threatened Yu Chi Zhenjin in disguise, lest he be lynched.
You must know that Yu Chi Zhenjin, as the secretary of Dali Temple, is in charge of the prison, and he has tried court officials in the past, so he naturally offended many powerful people.
Secretly, but there are a lot of eyeliners staring at him, wanting to pull him into the water!
"This official sees that you don't shed tears if you don't see the coffin!" Yu Chi Zhenjin snorted coldly, waved his hand and said, "Kuang Zhao, bring the things up!" ”
"Yes!" Kwong Zhao arched his hand.
Soon, he brought in a bag from outside and threw it on the ground, making a 'sonorous' metallic sound.
Instantly, daggers, hidden weapons, and unknown metal were scattered all over the ground.
Yu Chi Zhenjin opened his mouth and said: "This is all from your house, you are a poor person, why do you have such a sharp weapon?!" ”
Chu He opened his mouth and said, "My lord, this is a tool used by the grass people for hunting. ”
"Hmph, do you need smoke bombs and dark iron needles for hunting?!" Yu Chi Zhen shouted vigorously.
"My lord, who decreed that these things should not be used for hunting?" Chu He painted a dead pig that was not afraid of boiling water.
"You!"
Yu Chi Zhenjin clenched his fists, his muscles were exposed, and he couldn't wait to pull out his thunder whip and slap this bastard hard.
He knew that if he was given some time, he would be able to find out the evidence of this guy's guilt.
After all, those who can have these sharp weapons are definitely not ordinary people, and they may have a case record in which state or county.
But he didn't have much time, and the evidence was insufficient, so he could only detain him for one day and then release him.
Recently, the efficiency of Dali Temple to solve the case has not been high, and the Empress Wu has complained about it.
If you can't even solve this kind of small case, you will definitely be ruined.
But right now, if this guy keeps refusing to admit it, then this case may really become an unsolved case.
Yu Chi Zhenjin felt like he was stuck in his throat, and it was clear that he had caught the suspect, but there was no way to convict him, this feeling really made him too uncomfortable.
Suddenly, his gaze turned to Ye Qingzhou, who was standing aside, his eyes lit up, and he beckoned gently.
Ye Qingzhou walked forward very interestingly.
Yu Chi Zhenjin leaned over and said in a low voice: "Didn't you say before that as long as you catch the person behind the Wang family, you can solve the case within a day, now what good way do you have?" ”
Ye Qingzhou opened his mouth and said: "My lord, this Chu He is obviously an old oilman, and it is not easy to pry his mouth open, but we can change our thinking and start with the people around him." ”
Yu Chi Zhenjin's eyes flashed, and he said, "You mean, Wang?" ”
"Exactly."
Yu Chi Zhenjin sighed lightly: "The Wang family and this guy are obviously colluded, we don't have any evidence, I'm afraid it will be difficult for her to confess." ”
Ye Qingzhou smiled and said, "My lord, my subordinates have their own ways to let Li Guangsheng personally come out to identify the crimes of the two. ”
Yu Chizhen raised his eyebrows and said, "You mean, let the dead speak?" ”
Ye Qingzhou had mentioned this matter before, but Yu Chi Zhenjin naturally didn't believe it.
At this time, when Ye Qingzhou mentioned it again, a little doubt arose in his heart?
Could it be that his subordinates really have the ability to make the dead manifest?
Of course, this idea was only fleeting, and he vetoed it.
He has been solving cases for more than ten years, only believing in evidence and truth, and never believing in ghosts and gods.
But there is no other way now, so you might as well let your subordinates give it a try.
After all, judging from his previous performance, his subordinate is still quite reliable.
"Yes, sir, but there are a few things to prepare." Ye Qingzhou said.
"What's that?"
"Three barrels of red-hot charcoal, a pound of sesame seeds, and three incense burners filled with sandalwood are enough." Ye Qingzhou said.
"It's easy."
"My lord, let's take this Chu River down first, maybe it will come in handy later."
Soon, the Chu River was taken down, waiting to fall.
The other Dali Temple riders quickly collected the things Ye Qingzhou needed according to Yu Chi Zhenjin's instructions.
Taking advantage of this time, Ye Qingzhou asked Kuang Zhaodao: "My lord, you have checked the Wang family's household registration at the county department in the past few days, what have you found?" ”
Kuang Zhao said: "There are no useful clues, only that she immigrated here from Liangzhou, her parents died at an early age, and her brother raised her, but when she was fifteen years old, his brother was nowhere to be found, and then there was a drought and flood in Liangzhou, and she fell into trouble and married Li Guangsheng." ”
Ye Qingzhou nodded, Datang's identity and household registration are not as strict as they are now, and because it is a paper archive, there are often mistakes and omissions.
Therefore, it is more difficult to find a person's identity through household registration.
However, I finally got some useful news.
After an hour, everything was ready.
Ye Qingzhou spoke: "Let's go to the Wang family's residence now, and soon the truth will be revealed!" ”
A group of Ti rode Hao Hao Tang Tang to Lijia Village, the residence of the Wang family.
At this time, Wang was still drying clothes in the yard, and when he saw so many people coming, he panicked and his clothes fell to the ground.
Ye Qingzhou walked out of the crowd and said, "Mrs. Wang, I didn't expect to meet again so soon." ”
Wang Caijuan hurriedly stepped forward, knelt on the ground, and said, "The people's woman Wang, I have seen all the adults. ”
"It's nothing to do this time, I just want you to take us to your husband's crematorial place." Ye Qingzhou said lightly.
At this moment, a child ran from the house to his mother, took her hand and said, "A-Niang, why are so many people here?" ”
"Zhuo Yu, you take good care of the house, A-Niang will go out for a while and come back soon." Wang gently touched the child's head.
"Well, the child is waiting for A-Niang to come back." The child spoke obediently.
Following the Wang family, everyone soon came to a clearing in the north of Lijia Village.
Wang said respectfully: "My lord, my husband was cremated here. ”
Ye Qingzhou nodded lightly, looked at Wang and said, "You said that your husband was bitten to death by a fierce beast?" ”
"Yes, yes, sir." Wang's eyes dodged.
Ye Qingzhou smiled and said, "It just so happens that I have a skill called lighting a cigarette and distinguishing grievances, and I can communicate with the souls of the dead, why don't I let your husband come back from the underworld and confront you face to face?" ”
When Wang heard this, his body trembled obviously.
