Chapter 14: Trial at the Opening of the Court (2)
At this point, there were only twenty-one people left in the hall.
"This officer went to the scene of the crime early this morning to check, and found that the inn was indeed not only on fire, but also had fifty-one charred corpses inside. After a post-mortem examination, it was found that 18 of these bodies had been burned alive unconscious in a coma. The other 33 were killed early. This proves that there was a fight in the inn. Yang Xianling calmly said his discovery.
Yang County Ling continued: "As the shopkeeper Wang said, a total of forty people stayed that night, plus six people, a total of forty-six people. Of course, there were twenty-eight people who escaped. In this way, there should have been only eighteen corpses, but now there are fifty-one corpses, so why did the extra thirty-three come from? ”
In addition to the tragedy of the whole door and the destruction of the door, Yang County Ling was the first time that there were so many corpses at the scene of the crime, and the morgue of the county government could not be placed.
"Do you have anything to say?" Yang County Ling swept the people in the hall and asked.
"What Yang County Ling said is true, there was indeed a fight in the inn." Xie Xiaoyao stood up and said, "The inn was calculated by the bandits last night, and most of them were fainted by the smoke, leaving only me and a dozen other people who were lucky enough to not get a deep hit, barely staying awake, and could only protect themselves." However, these three people did not see the slightest smoke, especially this girl and her maids and attendants, and went on a killing spree. It's not enough to kill the bandits, they want to take the opportunity to take our lives! If it weren't for the sudden fire in the inn, I'm afraid that a dozen or so people would have been burned to char like corpses in the inn by now. ”
Xie Xiaoyao pointed to the thirteen or thirteen people opposite, looking still apprehensive.
When the others heard Xie Xiaoyao's words, they nodded in agreement.
Yang Xianling frowned and turned to Thirteen: "Do you have anything to say?" ”
"What Master Xie said is indeed true." Thirteen took a step forward and said to Yang County Order.
However, as soon as Thirteen's words came out, the lively crowd outside the hall seemed to explode.
"I didn't see that I was so ruthless at such a young age."
"Sure enough, I don't know my face but I don't know my heart, and I look at a strange and good-looking little girl, and my heart is so vicious."
……
Although Yang Xianling was also surprised by Thirteen's direct admission, he saw that Thirteen always had an indifferent attitude, so he wanted to hear what she had to say next.
"Quiet!" Yang Xian Ling slapped the shocked wood again, and said to Thirteen, "Go on." ”
"Nine of the bandits in the inn have been killed by me, but I think I was right to kill them. These thieves burn, kill, and plunder, and do all kinds of evil, and I kill them to eliminate harm for the people. Thirteen said.
Yang Xianling nodded in agreement when he heard this, "What about them?" ”
"Master Xie only said that I wanted to take their lives, but he never said that they were with bandits and wanted to kill the three of us first. Let me ask Lord Yang and all the villagers present, if someone wants to kill you, will you protect yourself, or will you be like a lamb to be slaughtered for others to slaughter at will? ”
Then the people were silent.
Thirteen said: "If the owner of Xie Zhuang and the others don't remember my kindness in saving them from the hands of the bandits, I can no longer care about the bandits if they want to take my life." But now, instead of describing the facts, and bullying me as a weak woman with everyone, is it a bit too deceitful? ”
When the people who watched the bustle heard this, they looked at Thirteen, only to see him frowning slightly, his eyes full of tears, but still biting his lip to prevent it from overflowing. Look, aggrieved and stubborn.
"I see, a group of big men bullying a little doll, it's really shameless!" One of the aunts spat at the foam.
"I'll just say, how can a little girl be so vicious." And humane.
"That's not what you just said." One of the men next to the man scoffed.
"I didn't just listen to that one word just now, who would have thought that this group of big men would be shameless?" The man immediately retorted.
……
Yang Xian Ling waited until the onlookers were almost finished, then he coughed lowly, cleared his throat and said to the shopkeeper Wang in the hall: "Shopkeeper Wang, as the innkeeper, do you have anything to say about this?" ”
The onlookers all recognized the king's shopkeeper, and when they heard the words of Yang County's order, they listened to it one after another.
The shopkeeper Wang took a step forward, knelt on the ground, and kowtowed to Yang County: "The grass people just want to find the arsonist. ”
Everyone present felt very normal when they heard this, and it was understandable that the shopkeeper Wang only wanted to catch the arsonist. After all, the burned inn is his entire net worth, isn't this burning equivalent to asking him for this old bone?
"Do you still need to look for it? That's not it! Xie Yingying pointed at Thirteen and said, "She must be afraid that she has killed so many people and wants to destroy the corpses!" Even, I think this bandit came strangely, I'm afraid she didn't invite it. Otherwise, why would everyone be unconscious, but the three of them were still in good spirits. I think she must be afraid that the matter will be revealed in the end, so she will simply destroy it! ”
"Why should my girl destroy the body and be afraid that the matter will be revealed? We sit upright and are not afraid of being investigated! Besides, the people who killed were bandits, and they really deserved to die. Why didn't Uncle Jiu and I, and my girl get unconscious, to put it bluntly, your skills are not as good as others, what else is there to shout? Don't forget, there are eight of us who have been unconscious! Peaches choked back, she had already seen that the "crazy woman" was not pleasing to the eye.
"It's better to say than to sing! Don't forget that the enchantress wants to kill my daddy and them. She must have been afraid that when the others woke up and found out at this time, they simply burned all the fires, and there was no proof of death. As for the eight people who are unconscious together, I can only say that the demon girl is smart here, and the vicious is here! It's really like a femme fatale, disgusting. Xie Yingying said not to be outdone.
In fact, at that time, Xie Yingying was in a coma and didn't know the ins and outs of the matter, so between Thirteen and Xie Xiaoyao, she naturally chose to believe in her father.
"Haha, that's ridiculous! Go and ask your dear father, my girl said she was going to take their lives! Peaches sneered, "Don't be a good person, just be a mad dog that bites people indiscriminately, and no matter what dirty water you do, you will spare no effort to splash it on my girl." ”
When Yang Xianling heard this, he looked at Thirteen and asked, "What do you mean by your maid?" ”
From the bottom of his heart, Yang Xianling felt that he believed in Thirteen more. It is because he has been an official for many years, and he has handled countless large and small cases, and he has also known countless people.
What's more, he already knew the causes and consequences of the inn fire, and the trial was just a routine.
Moreover, people with weak hearts will always have subtle flaws that they don't know yet.
"Back to Lord Yang's words, I really didn't say that I wanted their lives." Thirteen paused and continued, "I just let them and others abolish their martial arts and break their tendons, and they will have nothing to do with the three of us from now on." ”
