Lan Ting's design to open the gap with the food for the dinner on the crime day is precisely to let the observers know who is lying - as long as it can be confirmed that Wu Dagui did not go to Wu Ergui's house next door that night, how could Jiang inform Jiao Manshi to come to the house to cheat when her husband was at home? It is even more impossible for Wu Dagui to break the adulterous relationship and be killed by the adulterer.

Zhao Zhouzun saw that the situation was good at the moment, and he inevitably increased his confidence in Lan Ting's design, even though he still had some mixed tastes, and some did not want to admit that the eldest son who had not yet reached the crown was even more discerning than himself who had been an official for many years......

He didn't believe the so-called facts until the trial, and Hu Duan dared to pervert the law and misjudge the murder case for a little bribe, and sent the innocent Jiang to the guillotine.

But now, all the progress seems to be as Lan Ting expected in advance, and Zhao Zhouzun has to believe it.

He looked at Wu Lao Niang's gaze and finally became a little more severe: "Wu Yu, there is a big difference between Sun and your confession, this official is sympathetic to your old age and unwilling to torture you, but if you insist on your earlier confession and do not change, this official will order the torture of another witness, that is, Wu Yunkang!" ”

When Mrs. Wu heard this, although she was still hesitating whether she should tell the truth, she didn't want to watch her grandson who had survived the catastrophe be punished again, so she quickly knelt on the ground and begged: "Master Zhouzun, don't ask again, the old woman has no eldest son, and I'd rather no longer pursue the guilt of the Jiang family, just let the old woman admit the unjust death of the noble." ”

"What a reason!" When Tang Wei heard this, he was so angry that he blew his beard and glared: "This official has reviewed the case file, and he insisted that it was you who colluded with the Jiang family to kill his husband, and now because of the confrontation with his own grandson, he confessed that it was you who made a false confession, and now you are at a loss of words, and you still have the face to beg Zhao Zhou Zun Mo to inquire again, and let go of the investigation of the real culprit who killed the deceased, what do you think of the law of the monarchy?" ”

"Concubine Wu, this official ordered you to testify truthfully for the last time, on the night of the crime, were you having dinner at home, and was the deceased Wu Dagui at home or Wu Ergui's house?"

"The old woman doesn't remember, the old woman doesn't remember anything." Mrs. Wu sprinkled in front of the court again, and sat on the ground with her legs stretched out and looked like dementia.

Zhao Zhouzun closed his eyes, took a deep breath to suppress his anger: "In this way, pass Wu Ergui and Zhang's family to the court, and let all the suspects and witnesses confront each other on the spot!" ”

Zhang's hands were already bloody and blurred, and she was thrown to the ground by the servants, she couldn't help but look at Jiang's mother and son angrily, her eyes were full of resentment, and when she saw her husband Wu Ergui, she immediately cried: "How much slander and insult did you suffer from marrying your Wu family?" Now that you have been severely punished because of the infighting in your family, if you are still a seven-foot man, don't let it go......"

"Presumptuous!" Zhao Zhouzun was really angry this time, and he was almost thrown down the hall directly by him, and knocked three times: "Zhang, this official warns you, if you open your mouth without the permission of this official to prevent the trial, you will be punished again in court!" ”

He looked at Wu Ergui again, and suddenly felt that the excellent impression he had at first sight was now greatly reduced, how could he feel that this stocky and burly man was a little gloomy between his eyebrows? Zhao Zhouzun actually ran away again at the critical moment, and while Yin Jiyu was busy recording the case and didn't care about reminding him, Lan Ting had to cough lightly twice.

Lord Zhou Zun came back to his senses at this time, remembering that he didn't need to dwell on the details of the night of the crime at this time as planned, and asked another sentence that seemed to be off-topic: "Wu Ergui, is your wife Zhang originally from a prostitution family?" ”

This question was too sudden, making Wu Ergui unprepared, and thinking that since Zhou Zun asked like this, he must have found out the foundation of the Zhang family, and if he told a lie again, it would be harmful and useless, so he admitted: "The Hun family is indeed from a prostitute family, but she has never entered the teaching workshop, and she has redeemed herself from her nanny, she is a good family, and it is not illegal for the grass people to marry the Zhang family, right?" ”

"Since Zhang is a prostitute, he must have been threatened by his nanny to take the decoction of the heir, but your mother Wu Yu made her kneel in your brother's courtyard because Zhang had not been pregnant for many years, and your grandfather planted it under the jujube tree to pray for blessings, and because of the inability to get pregnant in the early years, it was Zhang's heart disease, so she accumulated resentment, and persuaded you to simply cut down the jujube tree so that Wu Yu repeatedly excused her to kneel and pray, it is precisely for this reason that there is a conflict between you and the deceased Wu Dagui's siblings, yes or no?"

Wu Ergui secretly thought: The dispute with his eldest brother over the jujube tree is not secret, it has long been recorded, even if he tells the truth, it should not have much impact......

How did he know that before he could answer, Wu Lao Niang was already like crazy, and rushed to Zhang's and beat and scolded: "You are a poisonous woman, such a slut, no wonder I don't look at you like a serious person, it turns out that you are indeed a prostitute!" You yourself have been drugged and can't give birth to children, so you want to hurt my Wu family and cut off children and grandchildren! ”

She's completely come to her senses!

The youngest son has a life in his hand, and the handle is still in Zhang's hand, and seeing that the youngest son is so infatuated with Zhang, he must not divorce Zhang's and marry another, but it is impossible for Zhang's to have a child, if he shields Ergui again, maybe he will be bewitched by Zhang's bewitchment to poison Kang Ge'er again, Kang Ge'er is the only seedling of the Wu family, and it is the last hope for inheritance, and he must not watch Kang Ge'er be buried in the hands of a poisonous woman!

Mrs. Wu can't care about Wu Ergui's life or death anymore, and now her grandson is the one she should shelter, and Zhang is the thorn in her eye!

"Master Zhouzun, the old woman confessed, the eldest son of the old woman Dagui was not harmed by the Jiang family, it was this Zhang family, this Zhang family and Shi Qiye already had a relationship, maybe there are still many men who are not clear, it is this Zhang family who hooked up with the adulterer and killed my Dagui!"

"In this way, this official has already concluded that the suspect Zhang made a false confession in court, and according to the law, he can be interrogated after 30 years of flogging today!" Zhao Zhouzun did not have the slightest pity for Zhang's feelings, and reached for the sign without hesitation.

Zhang was slapped by her mother-in-law in the face, and at this time, she heard that she was still going to be punished, and seeing that Wu Ergui was completely indifferent, where was she willing to suffer for this man again? It is even more impossible to fulfill Wu Lao Niang's wishful thinking of "having both fish and bear's paws".

The people in the audience saw her stalk her neck, and shouted bitterly: "Master Zhouzun, patrol the lord, the concubine is just a weak female stream, how can she have the power to kill the uncle?" Besides, the concubine and the uncle have no grudges, how can they collude with others to commit serious crimes? The concubine did make a false confession, on the night of the crime, it was the concubine and her husband Wu Ergui who were drinking at home, Wu Ergui listened to the concubine's complaints, and was furious for a while, took the firewood knife and went to the uncle's yard through the corner gate, and when he was cutting down the tree, he was stopped by the uncle and killed someone by mistake! When Mrs. Wu saw that her eldest son was dead, she insisted on shielding her younger son from punishment, so she put the blame on the Jiang family and framed her for murdering her husband! ”

Even under Wu Ergui's angry gaze, the Zhang family, who had already been released, was not afraid, and she did not kill anyone, and did not commit a serious crime to pay for her life, maybe this truthful confession would be forgiven and released on the spot, even if there is no food and shelter provided by the Wu family in the future, it is a big deal to enter the prostitution door again, and she will not starve to death.

"The concubine body is indeed acquainted with Shi Zhizhou's nephew Shi Qiye before, or when she was in Fujian, she came to Fenyang and bumped into it again, knowing that Shi Qiye's clan uncle was transferred to Fenzhou Zhizhou at that time, in order to get Wu Ergui off the hook, it was the concubine who made a plan to let him use the money left by his brother to bribe Shi Qiye, and then the concubine and Shi Qiye's former relationship, sure enough, Shi Qiye promised to help him, and then Hu Tong sentenced us to teach us a set of statements, which was also a case judged by Hu Tong, and it was confirmed that the Jiang family colluded with Jiao Manshi to kill her husband, Not to mention that the Jiang family doesn't know Jiao Manshi, even the concubine, they don't know where Jiao Manshi is sacred, and he has carried this big name in vain! ”

Zhang's confession caused an uproar in the audience, and Hu Duan and Liu Bayi were even more purple-skinned, they stood up one after another, and the spearhead was unanimously aimed at Zhang's, some reprimanded Zhang's blood and mouth, and some reprimanded Zhang's must have been instigated by others, Hu Duan also questioned the seat: "When this official tried the Dongxu murder case, it was because of Jiang's confession, and Jiang's fingerprint and confession were also left in the file. ”

Tang Wei also took the case, pointed at Hu Duan and asked: "So until this time, does Hu Tong still insist that the real culprit is Jiang?" Still don't admit that you made a mistake in judging the case? Jiang is not the real murderer, but you cut her to death, which is suspected of perverting the law, and now it is even more roaring in court, can't it prove that you are very guilty! ”

Hu Duan sneered: "Zhao Zhouzun, although you are the governor of a state, you don't have the authority to interrogate the same court officials, right?" ”

"As a patrol of the imperial history, the lower official patrols the place on behalf of the Son of Heaven, and has the right to supervise hundreds of officials, and now he suspects that you are bending the law, don't you have the right to interrogate?" Tang Wei also refused to give an inch.

At present, there are many squires and old students who are watching the trial, and of course he must stand up and stand on the side of justice, so as to win the praise of righteousness.

"Then Hu dared to ask Tang Xun, did he ever receive the emperor's direct interrogation of the state official?"

"You!" Tang Wei couldn't help but be aggrieved, although he was patrolling the imperial history, he really had to hold the edict of the Son of Heaven before he could directly interrogate local dignitaries.

"Hu Tong's sentence." At this time, Zhao Zhouzun spoke leisurely: "This official said that he would interrogate you on the spot?" The official did not even say whether he was committal to Zhang's testimony, and you were anxious to terminate today's public trial. ”

Seeing that Hu Duan was speechless, Zhao Zhouzun was more and more high-spirited: "This official is now interrogating the Dongxu murder case, as for whether Hu Tong's judgment has been arbitrary, this official will go to the court after the case is concluded, and ask the emperor and the ministers to decide, I believe that Tang Xun will also exercise his powers in accordance with the law." However, this official must warn Hu Tongju that if you obstruct this official's judgment in the trial, then even if this official orders you to be expelled from the court in public, I believe that the rank will agree that it is reasonable and legal. ”

He glanced at Hu Duan's purple face again, but he couldn't refute it, he was only angry and panting, and lightly struck the shocked wood: "Bring someone to witness Guo Guang to the court!" ”
