Chapter 49: Court Interrogation (Part II)

There are dozens of guys, cooks and miscellaneous workers in the "Spring Banquet", and a hall of people is densely packed.

Lord Xu picked up the startling wood and was about to throw it on Xing Zhutou's head, shouting, "What are you eating for?" What are so many people bringing in for what? Bring it down, bring it down! ”

Xing Zhutou said aggrievedly: "My lord, you said that you brought them all the people up......

Lord Xu said angrily: "How can so many people interrogate them one by one in court? Just leave a few important ones! ”

Hearing this, Xing Zhutou hurriedly ordered his subordinates to bring some young people or miscellaneous chopping vegetables down.

Lord Xu slapped the shocked wood and shouted, "You guys listen well! You must answer honestly, and you can't hide it in the slightest, otherwise the board will serve! Have you ever seen this woman having an affair with a man dressed as a Confucian student? ”

A few of the boys were crying and saying no.

Xu Er said: "Adults, don't listen to these people's nonsense, they are all picked up by this woman from the field, so naturally you have to help her!" The little one swears to God! The small, the small can swear by their net worth, and what he just said is absolutely true! I did see this woman with a man, and that's true! ”

Youwei whispered to Yu Yao and Wen Cang: "They are all abandoned orphans, adopted by Aunt Gongsun. ”

Wen Cang said: "There is a mouthful of food in the restaurant, and Aunt Gongsun can be regarded as a bodhisattva." ”

Yu Yao stared at the front, looked at the people in the court, and said slowly: "But this Xu Er's gambling curse and swearing doesn't look like a lie." ”

Youwei said: "Is there something unspeakable? ”

At this time, Lord Xu then asked, "Then do you know if the woman in front of you has been pestered by Xu Er, the owner of the gold shop?" ”

A young man took two steps forward and cried, "Please be enlightened! This Second Master Xu has always had bad intentions, since he died a few years ago, he saw that our proprietress was a single woman who had lost her relatives and ran such a large restaurant, and she came over to entangle her many times! Although he said that he admired the proprietress and begged for a good relationship, according to his humble opinion, he clearly wanted to occupy the only big restaurant in the city! Our proprietress is a decent person, so naturally she will ignore him. But he still did not give up, he came to the spring banquet every day, and let our hostess accompany him personally, but whenever he saw the proprietress talking a few more words to other guests, he would be angry and argue with others. This is something that not only our spring party guys know, but also the regular guests of the spring party know. ”

Xu Er said angrily: "Then you say, since I am entangled in my heart, why did I suddenly not go these days?" Lord Xu! In the past, the villain fell in love with this woman's appearance and craftsmanship and wanted to marry her to fill the house, but since that day he saw that her husband returned, this matter was stopped! ”

The young man replied: "Obviously, one day you had an argument with a guest who was young, who knew that the guest was the little son of Yuan Ge's hometown, and dozens of servants rushed out and beat you, so that you could rest at home for a few days, and then it stopped." ”

Xu Er said: "What are you doing here, a hairless boy?" ”

Lord Xu slapped the alarm again, and shouted: "What does the noise look like!" Take them all down! ”

Xing Zhutou asked, "My lord, take them all down?" What about this prisoner? ”

Xu Dadao: "Are you blinded by lard?" Why are you getting more and more confused? If this prisoner is brought down, how will Lord Ben continue to try him? Except this woman, everyone else will be brought down! Crying and shouting, what a system! ”

A few people who caught the spring banquet and Xu Er brought them down.

Xu Er shouted while being pulled back: "My lord, don't let go of this woman who is vicious and murders her husband!" ”

Xing Zhutou quietly walked up to Lord Xu and asked, "My lord, do you want to ask the prince of Yuan Ge's hometown to ask?" ”

Lord Xu said: "You idiot! What else is there to ask? They dare to say that Yuan Xiaogongzi's name must be true. Besides, the people of the Yuan family are also something you can afford to provoke? That's heavenly! If you bump into the taboo of the old man of the pavilion, if you are not careful, you and the master will die! ”

Xing Zhutou hurriedly said: "What the adults said is that the little ones are confused." ”

In the crowd, Youwei said to Yu Yao: "Who is this Yuan Ge Lao?" Will this Lord Xu be so afraid of him? ”

Yu Yao said: "Xiangzhou Assassin Shi is only a fifth-grade official, but Yuan Ge Lao used to be the imperial master, and he was a first-class and highly respected. His ancestral home is Xiangzhou, and he thinks that he has returned to his hometown not long ago to retire and lives here. ”

Wen Cang said: "Brother Yu is right, looking at this Xu Er's appearance, it doesn't look like he's lying, I don't know what we don't know." ”

Yu Yao and Youwei looked at him and shook their heads helplessly.

Yu Yao posted it to his side and said, "Brother Wen, why is your reaction half a beat slower?" ”

Wen Canghan smiled: "I'm really not as smart as you." ”

While they were talking, Lord Xu said to Xing Zhutou again: "Go and hand over that puppet!" The details are meaninglessly entangled too much, and the evidence of murder and dismemberment is conclusive, so she can't deny it! ”

Xing Zhutou replied: "Yes! ”

Youwei and the others in the crowd were all nervous.

After a while, he was brought to the hall, knelt down and said, "The villain Xiangzhou is a good worker, knock to see the adult." ”

Master Xu said: "You quickly report the results of the inspection." ”

He said: "Back to the adults, the villain followed the patrol adults for many days to track down the whereabouts of the corpse, and has run all over the streets and alleys of Xiangzhou City, inside and outside the city, and now all the human bones except the skull and some of the remaining corpse parts have been found. After comparison, the villain can determine that the deceased was killed by someone and then dismembered with a sharp axe, and then the meat on the corpse was removed with a kitchen knife, and then cut into thin slices and divided into dozens of parts scattered in many places inside and outside Xiangzhou City. ”

At this point, some women and children could not stand it anymore and began to gag.

Na Zuo continued: "The suspected murderer is skilled, and he must be an expert. It must be a deep hatred with the victim to do so. ”

Lord Xu nodded, and said to Xing Zhutou again: "Can the identity of the victim be confirmed?" ”

Xing Zhutou said: "Back to my lord, I found that this person's left toe is one more, so the small one sent someone to investigate in many ways." Because the toes are different from the fingers, there is no need to see people, so it took a lot of work to find out that Gongsun Xiucai, who disappeared many years ago, has six toes on his left side. In recent years, Aunt Gongsun has been making a living in Xiangzhou City, and she has not been able to wait for her filial piety in front of her in-laws, but she only sends people to send money every month. The two old men were too old to move, but the younger one had obtained a copy of their personal signature and pledge, and asked the adults to look at it. ”

Xing Zhutou handed the testimony to Lord Xu, who swept his eyes twice, and then said to Aunt Gongsun with a straight face: "You woman who has lost her conscience, are you guilty?" ”

Aunt Gongsun's head shook like a rattle, and cried: "Ask your Excellency to learn that the woman really didn't murder her husband!" ”

Xing Zhutou said: "Adult, the younger one also found a cousin who grew up with Gongsun Xiucai since he was a child, and he can testify." ”

Xu Dadao: "Bring it up!" ”

Xing Zhutou waved his hand, and the catchers immediately brought up a thin young man.

The young man bowed and said, "Changxing, the grandson of the grass people, knock to see Lord Xu." ”

Xu Dadao: "Who are you in this hall?" ”

Gongsun Changxing said: "If you go back to your lordship, it is my cousin's sister-in-law." ”

Lord Xu asked again: "That grandson Changman is your cousin?" ”

Gongsun Changxing said: "It is the villain's cousin." ”

Xu Dadao: "Then do you know what is special about Gongsun Changman?" ”

Gongsun Changxing said: "He has six toes on his left foot. ”
