Chapter 63: The Autumn Queen Asks for Cut
Nangong Mo didn't dare to look at Shu Yu, there was a feeling of guilt in his heart, and there was a pain in his heart, Nangong Mo glanced at Zhao Chongwen hatefully, clenched his fists with both hands, and looked very angry, eager to kill Zhao Chongwen.
Shu Yu was scolded by the cane, his face was sweating profusely, his face gradually turned pale, and blood gradually oozed from his buttocks, but he still stood stubbornly and did not kneel.
Zhao Chongwen had already returned to the court and sat down, while Nangong Mo sat on the lower left side of the case, wanting to see how Zhao Chongwen decided the case.
Zhao Chongwen slapped the shocked wood again, and when he saw that Shu Yu was still standing, he said:
"The prisoners in the hall, don't you hurry up and kneel, do you want this government to carry out the punishment of cane again?"
Shu Yu looked at Zhao Chongwen hatefully, but he stubbornly refused to kneel. Nangong was silent about Zhao Chongwen's attitude, and opened his mouth to say for Shu Yu:
"Lord Zhao, I have already said that Miss Shu Yu is from a foreign country, so she can not bow down, Lord Zhao should hurry up and solve the case!"
Zhao Chongwen heard that Nangong Mo still insisted on saying this, and he didn't want to offend Nangong Mo too much, seeing that Nangong Mo was already a little angry, he hurriedly got off the donkey down the slope and said:
"In that case, then allow the trial to be heard without kneeling!"
After saying that, he raised the shocking wood again, slapped the case table heavily, and said:
"You are guilty of a crime."
Shu Yu laughed at Zhao Chongwen's words, this has not yet entered the process of the trial, and he has to make himself confess! It's too anxious.
Shu Yu sneered:
"Dare to ask Lord Zhao, what crime have I committed."
Zhao Chongwen glanced at the official who had caught Shu Yu coming back and asked him to come out and tell him about Shu Yu's crimes.
The official got Zhao Chongwen's eyes, came out and hugged Zhao Chongwen, and replied:
"My lord, my subordinates received a report from the people, saying that Wan Zilou had a murder case, and the subordinates immediately rushed over, and after going over, they found that Wan Zilou really had a murder, and the murderer was detained before he escaped."
Zhao Chongwen stroked his beard and said:
"Tell me more about the crime! How to determine that the woman in front of you is the murderer. ”
"Yes, my lord, first, when the murderer was committed, there was only this woman and the deceased in the room, and there was no one else, until she was discovered by the woman in the green building, and no one else watched. Second, this woman had an entanglement with the deceased before, and when the murder occurred, the woman and the deceased were still arguing in the room! even threatened to kill the person, but it happened to be heard by other Qinglou women passing by. ”
When Zhao Chongwen heard this, he stroked his beard and asked calmly:
"Oh! Where are the witnesses? ”
The official clenched his fists again and replied:
"My lord, Li Pingping, the woman in the Qinglou, is already waiting outside the hall."
Zhao Chongwen was shocked when he heard this, and shouted:
"Heirloom card."
Outside the hall, a servant heard the order and shouted:
"Heirloom Li Pingping."
After a while, Li Pingping twisted the lotus flower and walked to the court, and as soon as she went to the court, she immediately knelt down and said:
"The folk girl Li Pingping pays a visit to Lord Zhuyun."
Zhao Chongwen said lightly:
"Li Pingping, tell me everything you know is related to this case."
Li Pingping knelt on the ground and gave Wanfu and said:
"Yes, my lord, before the crime, the maiden passed by the murder room and heard someone arguing in the room, only to hear Miss Shu Yu shouting for the life of the deceased, but I didn't expect Miss Shu Yu to be really so vicious, really poisoning the deceased."
Zhao Chongwen secretly smiled sinisterly, but pretended to be straight and said:
"The witness can be withdrawn."
Then he patted the wood again and said:
"This case has been clear, the murderer because of his entanglement with the deceased, he had evil intentions, poisoned the deceased, and the human and material evidence is there, according to the law of my Song Kingdom, the murderer should pay for his life, this official pronounced the verdict, Shu Yu, the woman in the hall, committed the crime of malicious homicide, and was imprisoned and imprisoned.
As soon as Zhao Chongwen finished announcing the verdict, two voices in the hall stopped him at the same time:
"Wait!"
Nangong Mo stood up and shouted at the same time as Shu Yu under the hall, the two heard each other shouting the same thing, and couldn't help but glance at each other, Nangong Mo motioned to Shu Yu to let him speak first, Shu Yu nodded to Nangong Mo.
Nangong Mo turned to Zhao Chongwen and said:
"Is Lord Zhao's decision so hasty? Just based on the words of a woman in a Qinglou, it is not in accordance with the laws of my Song Kingdom to condemn a person to death. ”
Zhao Chongwen glanced at Nangong Mo and asked lightly:
"Then how does Young Master Nangong think that the case is not hasty enough?"
Nangong Mo snorted coldly, turned his face to the hall, and said loudly:
"Lord Zhao should at least carry the body to the court, and after the autopsy, determine the cause of death and the time of death. Since Lord Zhao went to court, he has never asked the parties about what happened, and before the parties have pleaded guilty, they have to make a hasty verdict, isn't this extremely ridiculous! ”
Zhao Chongwen sneered after hearing this, and asked Nangong Mo:
"There have been witnesses, this case has been cleared, isn't it that Young Master Nangong wants to exonerate the criminal!"
When Nangong Mo heard Zhao Chongwen's mediocre words, he was extremely resentful, and said indifferently:
"Lord Zhao, Nangong Mo doesn't want an innocent person to be wronged by a faint official!"
When Zhao Chongwen heard Nangong Mo scolding himself, he didn't laugh angrily, and said to Nangong Mo:
"Then this mansion would like to hear how Young Master Nangong cleared the name of this sinner girl."
Nangong Mo turned to Zhao Chongwen and asked:
"Lord Zhao, Nangong Mo asked for an autopsy, to investigate the scene, and to inquire about the circumstances of the parties and investigate the case in detail."
Zhao Chongwen didn't even glance at Nangong Mo, stroked his beard and said:
"Young Master Nangong, I'm afraid you have forgotten, this is Yuegang City, not the capital, what right do you have to investigate this case, this mansion let you sit on this court today, it is to give your Nangong family face, I really think that you can point fingers here and prevent the mansion from deciding the case."
Nangong Mo stood up, and just as he wanted to say something more, a majestic voice came from outside the public hall.
"He's not qualified, so is this son qualified!"
When Nangong Mo Shuyu and Zhao Chongwen heard this familiar voice, they all looked out of the public hall, and saw that the person who came was Song Jing, followed by the two uncles and nephews of the body monkey and Hou Mingli.
Zhao Chongwen saw Song Jing enter the hall, and hurriedly went down to the hall to greet him, Song Jing strode into the court, and when he passed by Shu Yu, he gave her a reassuring look.
After Zhao Chongwen got out of the hall, he quickly knelt down in front of Song Jing and bowed:
"The lower officials visited the prince, but they didn't know that the prince had arrived, and they missed the welcome, so they asked the prince to forgive their sins."
Song Jing had the aura of a superior person, glanced at Zhao Chongwen condescendingly, and said majestically and lightly:
"Get up!"
Song Jing walked up to the court by himself, sat down on the court, Zhao Chongwen bowed behind him, and the monkey and Hou Mingli stood on both sides of Shu Yu, and after Song Jing sat down, Zhao Chongwen stepped forward and saluted again and said:
"Shizi, you first let the lower official tell you about it, and then it's not too late to blame the lower official."
