Chapter 50 S 4 A Hundred Corpses in the Pit
The breeze is light and the white clouds, the grass is in the sky, and the two carps, one red and one purple, swim leisurely under the turquoise lotus leaves. There was a woman sitting under the porch drooping and watching the frolicking fish, throwing some fish food at will, causing the fish on the surface of the water to compete to float. The spring breeze passed through the treetops, gently brushing up her sideburns, and the tassels falling from the round and golden hairpins in her hair swayed with the wind, looking at the scrambling fish, a sense of pleasure swept from her heart, and at this moment a guard came to report: "Niangniang, leave the north gate of the South Zhizhou Division and ask to see the son." ”
Chen Mingzhu smiled and hooked her lips: "It's coming very quickly, please come in." ”
Si Beimen walked with the attendants, he was dressed in formal court clothes, and he looked meticulous, but Si Ying behind him followed behind his father, his eyes kept glancing around, this general military mansion was really magnificent, but he didn't know how to scavenge it from the people.
In the main hall, Chen Mingzhu is sitting in danger. Si Beimen and Si Ying came to her and knelt down and kowtowed.
"See Concubine Chen at the north gate of the lawsuit, Niangniang Chitose Chitose Chitose."
"Humble Siying, see Concubine Chen, Niangniang Chitose Chitose Chitose."
Chen Mingzhu's expression was very gentle, and he greeted: "Master Si has worked hard to investigate the case, come and taste tea first." ”
The chamberlain immediately served the teacup, and the two got up to take it.
"How?"
"Good tea."
Chen Mingzhu smiled: "This tea is the exclusive tea of this palace, and it was given by the emperor." ”
Si Beimen heard the deep meaning of her painting, and smiled without answering.
Kechen Mingzhu immediately sank his face, and asked seriously: "I don't know how Lord Si's case is investigated, but have you found evidence?" ”
Si Bei still had a smile on his face, but he fell into deep thought, he knew why Concubine Chen summoned him today, if he found evidence, he would definitely be promoted to the court for trial, but he has not moved now, because she is sure that he has neither evidence nor physical evidence now.
Si Ying was about to step forward and say something behind him, but was held down by Si Beimen.
Concubine Chen waited for a while, and couldn't help asking, "What's the matter, didn't you hear Bengong's question?" ”
Si Beimen replied: "This matter...... There is no evidence yet. ”
"No evidence yet?" Concubine Chen frowned, stared at him and said, "In this way, Chief Chen is not guilty?" “
"The lower official is stupid, although there is no evidence, but the lower official does not dare to speak falsely."
Concubine Chen stared at him deadly: "In this way, Master Si is planning to imprison the second-grade official in the mansion on a trumped-up charge." ”
"The lower officials don't dare."
Chen Mingzhu's water sleeves flicked, the tea cup fell to the ground and shattered, this undulation, shook the emerald gold tassel on the exquisite hairpin. The phoenix eyes outlined by her Qingdai were all ruthless: "Sibeimen is not effective in investigating the case, and the people are pedantic, the palace will invite Ming Shengshang to let Hu Bin have full authority to investigate this case." ”
Sibeimen Station straightened and replied, "...... It was the Holy God who investigated this matter with me, and there was no time limit, so why did the mother ask the Holy Lord to take it back. ”
"Bold!" The chamberlain shouted loudly with a sharp voice.
Chen Mingzhu squinted at him with phoenix eyes, twisted his black pupils, and was very ruthless for a while, and his hatred was as deep as the sea.
"Okay, this palace will give you a day, if you can't find evidence, don't blame this palace for not showing you mercy!"
"One day, Niangniang, how can you find evidence within tomorrow." Si Ying couldn't help but question.
"Not tomorrow, before sunset today."
"What?" Si Ying's body shook and said in disbelief: "Niangniang, you ......"
"Mother, do you really want proof?"
Si Beimen suddenly interrupted his words, there was no look in his eyes, but the words in his mouth were indeed sonorous and powerful, which made Chen Mingzhu a little stunned, and he asked again: "Niangniang really wants evidence." ”
Chen Mingzhu came back to his senses: "That's nature. ”
"Then ask the lady to go to a place with the lower officials."
 ̄ ̄ ̄ ̄ ̄ ̄
The spring breeze blows strongly, and there are no trees in the remote suburbs here, making the wind even more unscrupulous.
Si Ying stood behind his father and Concubine Chen, his heart went up and down, and he peeked at the patrol of the criminal department beside him, and saw that he looked like a villain, and his heart was even more uneasy, and he didn't know why his father was looking for any evidence here. As he was thinking to himself, he heard his father calling his name.
"Ying'er, come here."
Si Ying came back to his senses and saw that he had a faint smile on his face, and walked over to his father with a little peace of mind, "Dad, what did you call me?" ”
Si Beimen pointed to the grass under his feet and said, "Look, what a difference is here. ”
Si Ying looked down at his feet, and saw that the grass blades were withered and yellow, he squatted down and picked up the withered grass blades with his hands, and saw that new sprouts were emerging from the bottom. He stood up suddenly, and walked around, within five feet, all of them, and he exclaimed:
"This place has been excavated, and it won't take more than two months."
"So what?" Chen Mingzhu's eyes were full of disdain.
"That means that there is something hidden down here, if the mother doesn't believe it, the lowly position will immediately dig up the land and let the mother see it."
After a while, the pit was five feet deep, and a dead man's arm was dug out, Si Ying was shocked, and waved his arm to continue digging, the pit was already deep to his chest, and he was digging hard with a round shovel with a handle, digging hard, in the huge pit, horizontal, and lying vertically full of tired dead corpses, hundreds of people, all of them were men, and some had begun to rot, Chen Mingzhu and Hu Bin, who were urged by the breath of scarlet, bent over and vomited wildly.
Hu Bin vomited out even more bitterness, and habitually took out a handkerchief from his arms to wipe his hands, but found that he forgot to take it, and shouted: "It's very unlucky, I was called to see this corpse, come here, go back to the house and bring my handkerchief." ”
Si Beimen glanced at him, and glanced at the messenger behind him, the messenger would wave to the people not far away, and after a while, dozens of flat-headed people ran out, they looked at the corpses in the pit, and rushed in desperately, all looking up to the sky and crying.
"Boss, why can't you come back!"
"Daddy, you can't leave me"
"Xianggong, Xianggong......"
"Son, son, don't leave your mother."
Si Beimen looked at Chen Mingzhu not far away, and said in a deep voice: "Niangniang, you can see it clearly, this is the evidence you said." ”
Chen Mingzhu's eyes were full of surprise, but he argued strongly: "But a hundred and ten corpses, what can it mean?" ”
Si Beimen snorted coldly, and said to the people who recognized the corpse: "Who are they, and how did they die, tell Concubine Chen, she is the sister of Chen Zongbing, and she will make decisions for you." ”
Almost all of the people who recognized the corpse were women, they held the man's mutilated body, stared at Chen Mingzhu with their eyes, and said viciously: "They are all our men, father, and son, were conscripted by Chenlong to be laborers, two years, no news in the past two years, we went to ask for a few times, but Chenlong said that we were unreasonable, and threatened us, if we dare to go out and talk nonsense, we will kill them, but now they are all dead in this pit, not he Chenlong killed, who else?" ”
Chen Mingzhu's body collapsed on Hu Bin's body as soon as she became weak, Si Beimen glanced at her coldly, and asked these people, "Are you willing to go to the court to be witnesses?" ”
They nodded again and again, crying, "We are willing, and we ask the adults to make decisions for us." ”
Jizhou Yamen, the mighty sound of * shook the ground a little, and Chenlong, who was kneeling, trembled slightly, and raised his eyes to look at Sibeimen, who was sitting on the top of the public hall, and coldly hooked his lips.
"Your Majesty, what else do you have to say?"
Chen Long sneered: "Master Si, what can you prove with just a few dead people??" What does the nonsense of the women mean? I would like to ask your lordship, I have taken laborers, but what has been built, do you have proof that these people are used by me, and you have evidence that I sent men to kill them!"
Si Beimen's indifferent gaze swept over his face, unwavering, but his voice was intimidating: "Hundreds of corpses and bones are withered, you are carrying more than just a life. There are also countless morals, consciences, and sighs that toss and turn in the silent night! Aren't you asking for proof? He waved his hand to Si Yingyi and said, "Give it to him." ”
Si Ying nodded, walked to him and threw a piece of paper in his arms beside him, Chen Long looked at the yellowed paper, sighed in his heart, and slowly reached out to pick up the paper, his name under the paper was like two giant snakes biting his heart.
"This is the silver ticket of your Parkway Bank, the name below is signed by your own hand, it is the reward you hired the killer, it is this killer who killed hundreds of innocent people for you, what else do you have to say now?"
Chenlong sat on his knees with a slump of his body.
Hu Bin, who was jurry on the side, suddenly interjected with a roll of his eyes: "Master Si can't just listen to one-sided words in handling cases, you said that Lord Chen grabbed labor and built the palace, but this Jizhou has been searched all over the place, what about the palace, where is the palace, is it possible that Lord Chengchen grabbed them to go to heaven to build a palace?" ”
Si Beimen scolded coldly: "It can't be built in the sky, so what about the underground?" ”
Hu Bin was stunned, then took out a handkerchief from his arms to cover his nose and sneered: "My lord is so good at joking, building a palace underground, that's digging a grave, right?" ”
Si Beimen looked at him and didn't speak, Hu Bin's body stiffened, as if he understood something, turned his head to look at Chenlong on the ground, and saw him looking straight at himself with his eyes breathing fire, and suddenly felt a dry mouth in his heart.
"I, I ......"
Suddenly, Hu Bin opened his mouth wide, his eyes widened, as if they were about to bulge, and a burning sensation came from his heart, and his hands kept waving, as if he was being choked by the throat.
Si Beimen was shocked when he looked at him, and hurriedly shouted: "Quick, go find the doctor." ”
Chenlong on the ground changed his face suddenly, jumped up in horror, but was pressed to the ground by the messenger, he struggled desperately, and even his voice trembled in horror: "She came for revenge, she must be for revenge!" ”
When the words fell, Hu Bin rushed towards Chenlong like crazy, and after taking a step, he was surrounded by the flames that suddenly burst out of his body, and he was turned into ashes in a moment.
 ̄ ̄ ̄ ̄ ̄ ̄
Si Beimen took off his official uniform, stood under the window, and sighed the corners of his lips, and Si Ying stopped talking behind him.
"Just ask."
Si Ying looked at his father's back and couldn't help asking, "Dad, how did you know where the body was buried, and how did you get the killer's silver ticket." ”
Si Beimen turned to look at him, his eyes were also turbulent, and he slowly took out a piece of letter paper from his arms, and said, "Last night, someone stuffed this letter and the silver ticket into my door. ”
