Chapter 158: The Public Court
Jimo Sulang opened his eyes in the cell, staring blankly at the top of the cell above his head, the cell had been damp and dim for a long time, and there was no daylight all year round, and now there was a lot of moss, and the moss was spreading down the high prison of the prison one by one, and the strings were about to hang on the rusty iron fence.
All his memories were restored, as long as there were Jason's memories, as long as there was the presence of the Vicious, all the memories in his brain were all there, as if they were alive, constantly flashing in his mind, and those intermittent fragments were connected into a short and hasty life of a teenager.
The death of his parents, the strange separation, Jason's company, his encounter with Yue'er, and even the crazy woman who inadvertently pointed the way when he came back, everything is so vivid.
Jimo Sulang really complained about himself, how could he forget his parents, countless nights, when he came back from school, his mother prepared a table of his favorite dinner waiting for him, how could he easily forget these things.
The rain stopped, and a colorful rainbow bridge was erected in the sky, with small arches at both ends of the bridge, like a mirage in the desert, but now it was real.
In the afternoon, in front of the yamen, the people and officials of Tongguan Town were all gathered to see the demeanor of the prince of the palace, and I heard that those innocent people who died had something to do with this fairy-like prince, and everyone probed their brains, presumably it was a popular legend in the mouth of the storyteller.
Of course, there are many people who want to see the iron-fisted means of governing the government with this statue of the prince, and what kind of decision will they make in the face of their son now, presumably because there are more lively components.
Ji Mo Yu was sitting on the chair in the lobby at the moment, and his face was still indifferent to him, because of the presence of the prince, the people around him were just gathered around and discussed carefully, and they didn't dare to make too much noise, for fear of making the prince unhappy and affecting them.
"Lord Wang, is it time to start the trial?"
Zhang Huan's sideburns continued in a cold sweat, and he asked respectfully in the direction of the prince, that is, Mo Yu made a gesture, and Zhang Huan's somewhat weak hand slapped the shocking wood in the court.
'Mighty...'
After the prelude to the opening of the hall, Jimo Sulang and a woman with a pale face were brought up, and the woman took the initiative to kneel, but the two officers and soldiers who escorted him didn't dare to let the prince kneel in front of the prince.
"Who is kneeling in the hall?"
"Master Huiguan, the woman is the proprietress of the West Street garment store, Wang."
The woman did not dare to lift her head, and her voice was as small as a mosquito buzzing, and she could not hear it clearly unless she listened carefully.
"Wang, what are you accusing? Let's listen to it. ”
Zhang Huan proceeded according to the normal interrogation procedure, and the people on the side were listening quietly, and no one dared to interrupt, except for the voices of Zhang Huan and Wang, the audience was silent.
"The women of the people sued the prince of the palace, they were inhumane, they helped the abuse, and brutally killed my husband and a few innocent people."
As she spoke, the woman stretched out her hand to Jimo Sulang, who was standing next to her, and her head was raised because she saw the murderer, her eyes full of resentment, and her face flushed.
Jimo Sulang didn't have the slightest expression, he didn't move, like a marionette, so anxious that Zhang Rao looked at the silent prince, and squeezed his eyebrows at the master who was struggling to write on the side.
Seeing that the scene was a little out of control, the woman's emotions were obviously very excited and high, and she had the urge to rush up and strangle Jimo Sulang to death with her own hands.
"Ahem... Be quiet, Wang, please calm down your emotions a little, this official knows that your pain of bereavement cannot be explained, but when this case is not yet clear, you still have to tell this official the original facts of the case. ”
Zhang Rao's startled wood slapped on the table again.
"You saw Shizi kill someone?"
Before Zhang Rao could speak, a cold voice sounded, and everyone looked at the sound, seeing that it was Jimo who had not made a sound, he looked at the woman who was a little emotionally out of control on the field, and asked lightly.
"Yes! Have you seen with your own eyes that the prince killed your husband and those men? Zhang Rao immediately emphasized Jimo's words again.
"Who else could he be? He has a good skin, but he didn't expect to do such a cruel thing, although my husband is a small businessman, but he is also a human life, so easy to kill, it is really a mustard human life! ”
"This king asked, "Have you seen the son of the world kill with your own eyes? What tools did the prince use to kill the man? Sword or what? ”
Before the woman finished accusing Jimo Sulang of the crime, Jimo Yu spoke out again, and everyone on the field looked at the conversation between the two of them, and wanted to imprint this sobriety deeply in their minds.
"That's right! Wang, please answer the official's question head-on, and don't just wronged others. ”
Zhang Rao, with many years of experience as an official, can be regarded as a person who can handle such a tricky case in this court, and he is a sycophant of the prince, but outsiders can't see any flaws.
"It's... It's he who has accomplices! Hehe.. He has accomplices, and he is in league with wild beasts, and he kills innocent people, but the adults must be the masters of the people's women! ”
The woman began to cry as she spoke, and the official was very helpless, afraid of something, he knew that the prince liked to be quiet, and he was afraid that except for the little princess and the princess, others would cry like this, and the prince would be annoyed to death!
As he spoke, Zhang Rao glanced in the direction of the prince, and sure enough, the prince's brows were wrinkled in a row, that woman really didn't know how to measure, even if she was the one who killed the prince's son, it shouldn't be so noisy and disturb the court in the court.
"Don't cry, did the prince kill people himself? You were the only eyewitness that night, and you will tell you more about that night. ”
Zhang Rao was also a little troubled by this situation, why did his subordinates snatch this case? If it is given to Nancheng, then the person who is standing under the hall and watching the excitement is himself, and he doesn't have to work hard to face this situation.
Look at Fan Zhuo, who is standing and watching the excitement below, isn't he just a few years less alive than himself? He looks very thoughtful, he is very young, he has some ability, but he is just a little worse than himself, so what? I must try this case clearly, and I can't let this kid compare.
For Zhang Rao and Fan Zhuo staring at each other, the countless fires stirred up in their hearts, the people present did not find it, the woman obviously had some hesitant answers, Zhang Rao knocked on the shocking wood, the woman was so frightened that she stumbled and almost fell to the ground.
"People's women, people's women, I didn't see clearly, who did it." The woman's face was bloody, her mood calmed a little, and she regained the appearance of her weak voice.
"Wang, think back to the scene that night, what was the reason for your husband and wife to travel in the middle of the night? During this period of time, it was rumored that fierce beasts hurt people in the city, but you were not afraid, but went out specifically, and you happened to be attacked, and you happened to see this scene. ”
Zhang Rao also felt that the woman must have concealed something, and it seemed that it would not work without strict interrogation, so he ordered someone to present the punishment for daily interrogation.
"Look! This is not a joke, this is one of the punishments we are used in the courts, and since you have been refusing to tell the truth, you must be asked to tell everything you know in front of everyone. ”
To tell the truth, there is still a set of skills in this bluffing, specially picking out those torture instruments that look hideous, so that the woman can be born when she sees it, the woman is in her early twenties, she is very afraid of these things, and her forehead immediately beads of sweat, and her legs unconsciously retreat.
"So many of you want to torture me? Ha ha.... It's really a bad day! He actually wants to torture me, and the prince is dignified, in order to protect his son, he even ignores the innocent people who died, and now he wants to torture a weak woman who has just died of her husband, hahaha... Neighbors, look at it, look at it, it's not enough to kill people like this, and they will torture me. ”
The woman shouted at the crowd outside the courtroom, as if she was afraid that everyone present would not be able to hear clearly, and her sharp cry broke people's eardrums, making it unbearable to listen to it anymore.
There were even many people who had begun to wipe their tears, whispering behind their backs, and looking at the prince with unkind eyes, as if they had all seen the real situation of that night on the spot.
Some hot-blooded men outside the arena also began to point fingers, cursing quietly in the direction of Jimo and his party, and they almost threw rotten eggs and wilted cucumbers at the court.
"Shut up all of them! What is this still like? Look at you as a woman, ask you why you are at the scene of the crime late at night, you refuse to say anything, and now you are still using the sympathy of the people to deliberately stir up the anger of the people, it is really disrupting the public court, and there is no law! ”
Zhang Rao no longer looked at Jimo's face, and directly tore his voice and began to scold according to his own preferences, just when he was about to let people be tortured, the crowd outside the public hall took the initiative to get out of the way, and someone walked slowly.
Seeing the person coming clearly, Ji Mo Yu stood up, his eyes were full of the figure of that person, he walked to Le Zhengyu's side, and asked softly: "Yu'er, why are you here, do you believe in the ability of a husband?" ”
Looking at Jimoyu's arrogant appearance, Le Zhengyu smiled slightly, secretly shook his palm, and then spoke: "I believe, my husband is the best, but now it's all like this, I'm afraid that you missed tonight's banquet and celebrated Mo'er's birthday tonight, have you forgotten?" ”
Le Zhengyu calmed Jimo for a while, looked at the woman who was still pretentious, and said softly: "My lord, I have a witness here, I don't know if I can let him stand in court and say a few words?" ”
Le Zhengyu's voice was neither high nor low, neither humble nor arrogant, but it was enough for the entire court to hear clearly, and under such a pleasant voice, the noisy crowd was gradually calmed down, and the tidal noise receded.
"Naturally, the witnesses related to this case can naturally come up, please come to the witnesses!"
Where does Zhang Rao dare to disobey, now he has to seize every moment of a good time to pat on the back, if he misses it, there will be no more.
