Chapter 251: Investigate to the end
And when she stood up straight, the panicked fear had not been eliminated. This made Wang Gouzi more and more afraid, and then remembered that the official who caught him before had said, what kind of female servant is the judge of the Yin Division, doesn't that mean that she can pass through ghosts and gods?
When he thought of this, Wang Gouzi regretted it even more, how could he be so good that he had to come to Liu's Mansion to find a bargain?
Before he could react, he felt a chill on his shoulder, and immediately saw the cold saber pressed against him against the flesh.
Suddenly, he shuddered, didn't dare to quibble anymore, and shrank down with a cry, "Big brother spare your life, big brother spare your life, I didn't mean to ask for that woman's life." At that time, she shouted, and I wanted to hold her down in a hurry, but I didn't know that she was so spicy, and she actually came up and bit me. ”
As soon as I was in pain, I subconsciously pushed her and let her hit the rockery. I swear, I really didn't kill her. "Now, where does he dare to tell a liar, lest if he says it later, the knife will cut his neck.
In fact, the reason why Wei Guang suddenly became difficult was not because he wanted to deceive him. It's just because he saw that his prince turned black because Xu Chu's fingers groped the shoulders of this king dog, so he thought of this way to save it.
The prince has always been lenient to Xu Chu, but not necessarily for himself. A few days ago, Wei Yan also said that a man who is jealous is the most unreasonable. Especially for people like the prince, who have not been enlightened in love for twenty years, they have to be careful when they first open their minds.
Xu Chu inspected the male corpse, regardless of whether it was naked or checked the lower body, then they couldn't stop it. But for the living, there are some tricks.
However, in this way, it is unintentional to insert willows into the shade.
Xu Chu saw that the case was clear, so he saluted Xiao Qinglang and Xu Qinhe: "Lord Wang, my lord, now the human and physical evidence and the confession of the suspect are all complete, and I ask the prince to make a decision with my lord." ”
Xiao Qinglang saw that she looked businesslike, and felt a little funny in his heart. How could he not have noticed that Xiao Chu was so cautious before? It doesn't count as scaring Zhang Fu'er with kidneys and corpses, and now it's time to settle accounts after the autumn.
However, Xiao Qinglang was not disgusted by her careful thoughts, but felt that he liked it more and more. He likes her like this, he will not be pretentious, and he will not pretend to be tolerant and show excessive kindness.
Xiao Qinglang gestured to Xu Qinhe, and then, Xu Qinhe asked in a condensed voice: "Wang Gouzi, you pushed Miss Qiu's family, and she died of kidney damage due to hitting a rockery, can you plead guilty to this?" ”
Wang Gouzi's brain was buzzing, and he knelt forward in horror and moved his body, and said with a handful of snot and tears: "Little confession, confession ......"
He really regrets it, so good to come to the muddy waters. As for the person who died, what difference did it make whether he was a maidservant or a young lady? Left and right, he can't get better.
On the side, there was a new document from the yamen to record the case, and then took a confession and asked Wang Gouzi to draw a detainment.
"Wang Gouzi's murder charge is undoubted, and he was thought to be an accidental homicide, so he was sentenced to be beheaded after the autumn."
When the words fell, Wang Gouzi completely fainted, and he didn't even wake up after being dragged away by the official. And on the bluestone floor where he was just kneeling, there was a burst of water stains, so there was no need to say much about what filth.
"Liu Wenshu, you will sort out the file later and send it to the Criminal Department for review."
However, before everyone could breathe a sigh of relief, they saw Xu Chu salute again and speak, "My lord, since the case of Miss Qiu's murder is over. Can the adults end another lawsuit? ”
Xu Qinhe looked up suspiciously and asked, "What did Miss Xu say......?" ”
"Naturally, I was slandered and murdered by evil magic. The crime of framing the Great Zhou Law was reprimanded by the government and announced to the neighbors. In severe cases, the cane will be punished as an example. I don't know if Miss Zhang framed me for murder in front of adults, and insisted that I would be a witch, and then falsely accused me, can adults make decisions for me? ”
Zhang Fu'er, who was still glad that she had escaped, looked at Xu Chu with tears on her face, as if she was very surprised.
And the ladies who had just identified Xu Chu with Zhang Fu'er on the side were also silent at this time, for fear of being angry with Xu Chu.
This woman is terrible, and it is not something they can provoke at all. If you don't agree with each other, you will dissect the corpse, and dare to take out all the organs in the corpse.
As long as she thought of her indifferent expression and the appearance of holding the kidney to check, the faces of the ladies who had finally recovered faded back and turned pale again. What's more, there was a new round of retching.
In fact, what else can I vomit? At all, I only felt that my mouth was full of bitterness, and I vomited out all the yellow bile.
Xu Qinhe was stunned for a moment, and saw that Xu Chu's expression didn't look like a joke, so he asked, "......What does Miss Xu mean?" ”
treats the benefactor of Jinzhou City, no matter how kind his attitude is, he will not feel troublesome, let alone feel worthless. After all, if there was no Xu Chu, it would not be possible to solve the White Bone Case and the Copper Mine Case, and naturally it would not attract the prince to Jinzhou City, let alone let the prince notice the difference behind these cases.
"Naturally, I beg the adults to call the shots, and return the innocence of the people and girls according to the laws of the Great Zhou." Xu Chu said naturally, and he didn't seem to have a trace of resentment.
Xu Qinhe is also good at observing words and feelings, otherwise it would be impossible for those people to survive in the years they were imprisoned. Therefore, after he saw that Xu Chu really wanted to investigate, he pondered for a moment, looked directly at Zhang Fu'er, and scolded coldly: "Zhang Fu, are you guilty?" ”
In fact, according to the normal situation, there is usually a life lawsuit, and after the person who has been falsely accused cleared his grievances, he will be full of happiness and hate to leave the place of right and wrong as soon as possible. Not to mention pursuing those who falsely accuse him, I am afraid that when I see the yamen and the officials, I will hide far away.
is really rare like Xu Chu.
In fact, in the laws of the imperial court, the crime of false accusation is indeed quite important. After all, whether it is between the market or the official family, there are often all kinds of accidents. If everyone takes the opportunity to frame and even get people into lawsuits, then no matter how the reputation of the falsely accused person is damaged, it will greatly hinder the efficiency of the government.
Therefore, even if it is reasonable and tolerable for false accusations, strictly speaking, they should be punished.
Zhang Fu'er's expression moved slightly, she had experienced the fact that she almost became a murderer, and her uncle and aunt, who had always loved her, had never appeared, and her friends, who were known as sisters to her every day, stood by and watched her isolated and helpless situation. All of these made her sense of superiority for more than ten years disappear, and she even began to doubt herself.
She resented Xu Chu as the culprit, and regretted that she had provoked this evil star and let herself be defeated so far.
Thinking of this, her eyes were slightly red, and a touch of sadness flashed in her eyes.
In the end, her face changed several times, but she still lowered her head and whispered, "I confess...... I wanted to harm Miss Chu, and I wanted Wang Gouzi to ruin her innocence. Later, after the accident of the Qiu family's sister, I deliberately guided others to make everyone suspicious of her, and then all of them were identified with her......"
Now she can't afford to quibble anymore. Although at the beginning, it was the uncle and the housekeeper who set up the bureau. But she may not be unclear, and even has some faint expectations, wanting to trample under her feet the faceless woman who gave her face on the day of the Lantern Festival, and take the opportunity to let the handsome man know that power is more important than love.
However, she didn't expect that in the eyes of the man, she was probably a clown who jumped off the beam. And the uncle who he relied on as the Tongzhi Lord was also disposed of by that person with a light sentence.
She is not a fool, her uncle and others have never appeared until now, and even the housekeeper has not heard from her. Coupled with Lord Xu's sentence of the prince, what can't she guess?
I'm afraid that this so-called Hongmen banquet is an opportunity for people to plan and pull their uncles and others off the horse.
Putting aside the murder of the prince of the dynasty, in fact, she did not fail to discover that her uncle seemed to have some secrets that could not be known. And that secret is related to the life of the family, and it is not even allowed by legal reason.
In the past, the reason why she didn't think deeply was because she was deceiving herself, worried that once she was punctured, she would lose her high status and identity. After all, knowing her niece and being raised as a young lady in the house is indeed a blessing that others can't get......
But now, her hopes and dreams can no longer continue. In that case, what is the point of concealment?
left and right, her reputation was also ruined, at least it was difficult to find a good family in Jinzhou City. Whether it is a child of an official family or a powerful family, it is impossible to allow such a woman who despises the innocence of others to be a wife.
Even if she is charming, even if she has an uncle and aunt to support her, who will really accept her? What's more, my uncle and aunt are afraid that they will already be unable to protect themselves.
She looked at the ladies and ladies who had been talking to her kindly an hour ago, complimenting her and praising her, and now they were looking at her like a lost dog. The eyes were full of disgust and indignation, and he did not hide it......
"Then the official will issue a list to announce the matter of the neighbors later, and send him to prison for three months as an example, can you accept the sentence?"
"The verdict of the sin lady." Zhang Fu'er kowtowed deeply and spoke weakly.
When the official sent Zhang Fu'er down, she also glanced at Xu Chu with complicated eyes, but she didn't know whether to thank or resent.
If it weren't for her, I would never have fallen to this point. But if it weren't for her, I was afraid that I would probably be called the scapegoat of Wang Gouzi.
In an instant, she seemed to have returned to the past, back to the time when she was blinded by the prosperity of Jinzhou City. At that time, her mother was still alive, and she and her father and mother were not rich but happy.
But later, her mother was gone, and she was confused by the flattery and stuttering of others when she lived temporarily in Jinzhou City. So much so that her father came several times, but she didn't want to go back with her......
