Chapter 350: Testimony

"Who the hell, who fabricated General Xie's handwriting?" The voice of the squire of the criminal department was a little sharp.

"That person is no longer there, that is Yao Lun, who was once a deputy general." Pan Dong said calmly.

As soon as he said this, someone laughed: "Pushing the evidence of the crime to a dead man? Dead people can't open their mouths, so naturally they can say whatever they want. ”

Chu Yuanzhen said: "Dead people can't open their mouths? No, Master Jiang, you are wrong, a dead man can speak. He then had another piece of evidence presented, which was several letters, and he said to the soap in front of him, "Tell you, your lordship, where did these letters come from?" ”

"It was collected from Yao Lun's house, and it is some epistolary codex written by Yao Lun before his death."

Chu Yuanzhen first showed those letters to the prince, and then invited all the officials to come forward to read them carefully, and Zhangzhu also stepped forward to read them, Yao Lun's letters are changeable, and it is hard to believe that they were written by the same person.

"These handwriting are varied, it is difficult to see that it was written by the same person, how can it be proved that Yao Lun fabricated this letter?" It was the crown prince who raised this question.

Chu Yuanzhen got up and said: "Xia Guan is not talented, he studied calligraphy with Yan Hanlin when he was a child, so he also studied calligraphy a little. Next, I will explain to you why from the perspective of calligraphy it is determined that the evidence for this letter is fabricated and copied by Yao Lun. ”

Chu Yuanzhen picked out some of the same handwriting to show everyone, pointing out how to start the pen, how to put the pen, and how to move the pen. Everyone understood by what he said, Chu Yuanzhen said again: "Everyone can see the ...... of General Xie's own handwriting" Speaking of this, he deliberately glanced at the palm beads, and then said: "The general's words are indeed not good-looking, but they all say that words are like people, the general is a person with a furrow in his chest, although the handwriting looks a little sloppy, and even called messy, but the mess is not without rules, you look carefully, every stroke of his is very distinctive." And as an imitator, I have long noticed this and deliberately copied it. The copyist's writing skills are above the general's, so although the words written are similar, they do not know their essence. What I say is that, everyone will know if you look closely......"

Chu Yuanzhen pointed out a few key places to everyone, and everyone finally found some awkward places under Chu Yuanzhen's pointing.

The prince also found out, and he smiled: "If it weren't for being as careful as Jinshi, I'm afraid I wouldn't have found it." ”

Yuan Zhen's answer was also modest.

Judging from the handwriting comparison, the letter used to convict is indeed more like someone deliberately imitated it, Yao Lun did imitate Xie Lianggui's handwriting, and the key evidence is doubtful, so naturally it cannot be used as evidence for conviction.

The previous evidence was overturned, and then it was time to present new evidence, so Chu Yuanzhen asked Man Hai to come forward.

"We invited one of the original parties out through our contacts and asked him to explain what happened at that time."

The appearance of Manhai caused a huge repercussion.

"Golden dog, golden dog, why is there a golden dog here!" The shrill voices came and went, and the scene was a bit chaotic at the time. Later, it was Shi An who came out to control the scene: "Everyone, please be quiet in front of Your Highness." Man Hai was allowed by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to come to Beijing to testify, and there must be no other objections. ”

The prince nodded, and then motioned for the trial to continue.

Zhangzhu looked at Manhai, she had always wanted to see Manhai, but she never thought that she would finally see it on such an occasion. The sea is full of burly, long faces, and beards. Between his eyebrows and eyes, he looked a little similar to Jochi.

Guo Fukang said to Man Hai: "I don't know if you can understand our Da Chu's words." ”

Man Haidao: "No problem, just ask if you have anything to say." Not only did he understand, but he spoke so fluently that it was surprising.

"Is this letter really written to you by General Xie?" Guo Fukang gave the letter to Man Hai. Man Hai only glanced at it and said, "No, I never received this letter. ”

This remark caused an uproar.

"Oh, how do you say that, do you know what kind of situation can you come to everyone in front of you."

Man Hai looked at the crown prince Yuanyan sitting above, and he said calmly: "This is a bureau, a bureau that wants to put Xie Lianggui to death." ”

Everyone pricked up their ears, and Man Hai told everyone what he knew, and at the beginning he mentioned a key person, Xun Jian! At that moment, the prince ordered someone to bring Xun Jian to confront him face to face.

Xun Jian was soon brought. He looked terminally ill and couldn't stand firmly. The prince also asked him to move a chair for him to sit on.

"It was this adult who found me and asked me to cooperate with him and make a game." As soon as Man Hai saw Xun Jian, he immediately said it, and Xun Jian looked like he was about to die, and when he heard such evidence, he immediately came to his senses, and said violently: "This is a lie, a lie." I don't know anything, you lie to me. ”

Man Hai continued: "When the king of the Khan is gone, there is chaos within our Jin people, several of my nephews, and other brothers are very concerned about the throne, and the competition is becoming more and more fierce, I have also made a deal with an official of Dachu in order to sit on the throne, I hope he can help me. The first person I found was Xie Lianggui, asked him for assistance, and promised a lot of benefits, but Xie Lianggui did not agree. Later, someone set his sights on my iron ore mine, which I didn't have a lot of gold, and offered to trade it for it, so that he could help me succeed. Before this matter was officially carried out, Xie Lianggui knew about it, Xie Lianggui should have asked Lord Xun to stop it, but Lord Xun was bent on getting the mine, and then discussed with me, saying that he would make a bureau to get rid of Xie Lianggui, so that I could ascend the throne and Lord Xun could also get the mine. ”

"What nonsense, who are you, I don't know you at all, and who are you instructed to slander me?"

Man Hai told everyone about the bureau, how he arranged it with Xun Jian, how he lured Xie Lianggui into being fooled, and how he made the deal, and Man Hai told everything he knew.

Everyone was shocked when they heard it, but only Xun Jian, the person concerned, has been denying it.

"Lord Xun still refuses to admit my guilt? Even if there are witnesses, you are still not convinced? Yuan Zhen asked.

"You colluded to frame me, I will go to Wutai Mountain to find Your Majesty and ask him to come forward to testify for me."

As soon as these words came out, all the officials were waiting to watch the play, and the prince above spoke: "Oh? Lord Xun is going to Wutai Mountain? ”

Xun Jian came to his senses at this time, now is not the Yuan Jia Dynasty, the King of Jin usurped the position of his nephew, the world has changed, but even at this point Xun Jian is not confused at all, he immediately pushed all the sins to the Yuan Jia Emperor in front, and insisted again: "It was His Majesty who felt that the Xie family was highly meritorious, and His Majesty was not used to the Xie family, so he found an opportunity to dispose of Xie Lianggui and do things for His Majesty, so these are his arrangements, I just do what he wants." ”

Although the main sin was blamed on the previous Yuan Jiadi, he admitted from the side that he was the one who led the Xie case.
