Chapter 3 20 Judgment of the case

Zhao Qingqing was silent, and begged Yang Qing with tears: "It takes courage to recognize your body, the little girl is very afraid, since my father is outside, can I allow me to say a few words to him first, not to mention that he came to the government to make trouble because of me, and I should make peace." ”

Yang Qing was a little moved, and raised his eyes to ask Shen Zetang for advice, but seeing his expression slightly condensed, he didn't understand what he meant for a while, and instead asked what Shun Yu thought.

Shun Yu secretly wondered how this Yang Qing was so indecisive, not a decisive person to kill, and said: "Zhao Zhuang was originally a Dali temple secretary, after the dismissal, because of his kindness and charity, he likes to make friends with chivalrous warriors, and he is quite famous in the south, and now there is a woman, bluntly saying that his dead daughter borrowed the corpse to resurrect the soul, whether he believes it or not, it is always a strange story that makes all beings in the world discuss, not to mention that this woman is still a lowly person, and she is in the fireworks business. “

If there is no sufficient evidence to prove that she is indeed possessed by Zhao Qingqing, the adult will boldly allow the two of them to meet, which will humiliate the innocent reputation of the owner of Zhao Zhuang, and also aggravate the people's dissatisfaction with the government. Whether this matter is urgent, or bothering Huo Xiaoyu to recognize the body. “

Yang Qing glanced at Shen Zetang and nodded in agreement, hurriedly coughed his throat, and ordered the jailer to lead Huo Xiaoyu to identify the body.

Huo Xiaoyu was helpless, so she had to follow the jailer to uncover the white cloth and look at it carefully, and then look at another body.

After a while, Huo Xiaoyu turned to the front of the hall and knelt down, pointing to one of them: "The little girl has carefully identified it, and there is no doubt that it is it." “

Without waiting for Yang Qing to speak, Shen Zetang put down the teacup and said to Shen Huan: "Bring Zhao Qingqing's personal maid Tan Zi and hand it over to her to identify the body." “

Shen Huan came out quickly, turned around in a moment, and a girl followed behind him timidly, passing by Huo Xiaoyu, and couldn't help but cry: "Are you really my young lady?" “

"There shall be no noise above the courtroom." The jailer stopped with a straight face, and Tan Zi was so frightened that he didn't dare to say more, and lowered his head to listen to the instructions to identify the two corpses.

Yang Qing looked confused, and asked in a low voice, "When did Lord Shen summon the maid of 'Leshanzhuang'?" Xia Guan didn't know at all. ”

Shen Zetang smiled lightly, and Shun Yu was also a little surprised, I don't know what he had in mind.

The jailer came to report recently, Yang Qing was shocked, and said angrily: "One says that he is possessed by Zhao Qingqing, and the other is a personal maid for many years, but the identification is different, how can this be true!" ”

turned to Tan Zi and scolded: "You can't even recognize your own young lady's face!" Dragged down with the rod and punished ten times. “

The sandalwood kowtowed and shouted wronged: "The slave has been with the master since he was a child, and he has been serving the young lady to wash and make up all day long. “

"That's Huo Xiaoyu pretending to be a ghost and bluffing his own official, it's really hateful!" As soon as Yang Qing patted the startled wood, Shun Yu saw wisps of dust leaking down from the cracks in the tiles, and some of them quietly fell on Shen Huan's shoulders, and she moved to the side without a trace, away from him.

Huo Xiaoyu was dumbfounded and aggrieved: "Adult Mingjian, the little girl has a scar on her forehead when she is young, although she has been diagnosed and treated by a famous doctor, it has never faded, how can she admit such an obvious sign." “

looked at the maid again and shouted angrily: "Since Tan Zi has been with your master for a long time, how can you admit your mistake?" The corpse you are referring to has a smooth forehead, which is very different from my appearance..... Are you trying to harm me? It's ........ in vain how much I treat you on weekdays. ”

Tan Zi was staggered, Shen Zetang couldn't stand it, asked Shen Huan to take her away, and ordered the officials to carry the body down together.

The trial hall regained its quietness, Yang Qing didn't expect this to happen, but he didn't know what to do at this time, and then he saw Shen Zetang looking at Huo Xiaoyu to himself, and it was inconvenient to disturb, so he endured waiting for a while, but it was still difficult to press it, and as soon as Lord Shen spoke, he was stopped by Shen Zetang raising his hand.

He looked at Huo Xiaoyu with deep eyes: "The body you identified is indeed Zhao Qingqing." ”

"Lord Xie is clear." Huo Xiaoyu breathed a sigh of relief, his eyebrows and eyes gradually stretched, but he continued: "Tan Zi is not Tan Zi." ”

Shen Zetang's tone was very calm, his voice was more calm, and he spoke word by word very clearly, Huo Xiaoyu's pupils were constricted, and his face was as white as a piece of paper.

Shun Yu was empowered, and Yang Qing was still a little stunned: "Is Lord Shen's intention ......?" “

Shen Zetang said slowly: "Zhao Qingqing said that Tan Zi is always with him, how can he recognize the wrong master?" Because she is not sandalwood, it is not surprising to admit mistakes; And you, how could you mistake the girl? Because you are not Zhao Qingqing, you are Huo Xiaoyu. He paused: "You are not Huo Xiaoyu from Qingchun Courtyard, Huo Xiaoyu was dead when you got on the boat." ”

Everyone changed color when they heard this, Yang Qing was even more incredulous, and asked with doubts: "Lord Shen, she is not Zhao Qingqing, nor Huo Xiaoyu, so who is she?" “

"Yes! Who the hell is she? Shen Zetang looked at Huo Xiaoyu and watched her gradually cold expression with interest: "She is the killer of the 'Eagle Heavenly Alliance', and it is also hard to follow this official all the way to Zhenjiang this time. What is your purpose in taking my life? Who is the leader of the 'Eagle Sky Alliance'? “

Huo Xiaoyu trembled all over, giggled, Zhao Qingqing's beautiful aura dissipated, and she should show a charming and charming prodigal appearance, she said: "Lord Shen lifts me up, I am an Oiran lady who wants to retire after redeeming herself, how can such slender hands and feet kill ..... 'Eagle Heavenly Alliance'?" Are there many men in the League? Suddenly, she looked very innocent again, and her eyes shone like stars.

Shen Zetang glanced at her: "The official already knows who you are, the 'Changing Lady' Jiang Yueliu hates bondage the most in her life, and she is willing to serve the 'Eagle Sky Alliance', do you really want to tell the official who the leader of the alliance is?" ”

Jiang Yueliu still smiled: "Lord Shen is really in a high position, and what he said is incomprehensible." ”

"Don't you understand?" Shen Zetang pursed the corners of his mouth and ignored her, and turned to Yang Qing and said, "Give her a torture instrument until she is recruited." ”

Yang Qing hurriedly scolded the jailer with a cane twenty times, and Shen Zetang frowned and stopped: "The cane moss is bare, she is delicate, I am afraid that she will not be able to resist without admitting, so I poured salt water with thorny rattans, and only whipped her back, although it hurts, it can make her more sober." ”

Yang Qing was dumbfounded when he heard this, cold sweat was dripping on his forehead, Lord Shen, who was the most gentle and elegant in the court, actually had such a ruthless and brutal side.

This trick is cruel but the most effective.

After about seven or eight strokes of whipping, Jiang Yueliu's back was already blurred with flesh and blood, and the pain made her worse than death, but she couldn't die, and seeing that the jailer was about to wave the whip again, she thought that her scream could break through the roof, but it fell into her ears like a cat's whine, far less poignant than the whip.

Shen Zetang ate tea calmly, the jailer suddenly stopped whipping, and hurriedly came over to report, Jiang Yueliu was willing to open his mouth to confess.
