Chapter 246 Plaintiff and Defendant

"Who beats the drum and cries out the grievances?" The county lord was shocked, and the official authority was full.

"Jin Liu, a folk woman, went to the grove west of the town to ride a horse this evening, and found a floating corpse in the small river over there, and I have come to report it to the adults." With low eyebrows and ears, I behave no different from the ordinary housewife nowadays.

"Bold!" The county magistrate was really as I imagined: "The floating corpse is lying there, no one finds it today and no one finds it tomorrow, why was it discovered by you?" Also, if you are a woman and run around on horseback when it is getting dark, you are not afraid of being kidnapped? In my opinion, even if you didn't kill someone, you can't escape the relationship! Don't hurry up and get me the truth! ”

What is the reason why I can't ride a horse if I'm a woman? I like to ride a horse on a big night and get in the way of you? You can judge me as a traitor or a thief, and you think you are Sherlock Holmes yourself.

"Lord Qiyu, the father of the folk girl loves to ride a horse, so the folk girl also likes to run two laps without anything, which is not surprising. The second is that if this body is not found by me, it will be found by anyone, according to the adult's clear judgment, whoever finds it will be suspicious, and if this continues, who else will dare to report the crime? ”

"Okay, you are a sharp tooth, then the official will ask you again, what evidence do you have to prove that you are innocent?"

Oh my God, innocent people don't need to prove it, only you can prove that I am guilty, why should I prove my innocence as a good person? What kind of logic is this?

"My lord, this corpse has been soaked in water for a day, to say the least, from the extent of its swelling, and I was at home last night, and all the maids and servants in the house can testify. The next day, I opened the hall to teach my disciples, and my disciples can also testify, so I can't be in two places at the same time, right? Therefore, please check carefully, and do not let the murderer escape the punishment of national law. ”

Do you understand? This is called alibi evidence, and the person who appears at the scene is called the murderer, so all the murderers in the world can rest easy as long as they kill people and abandon their corpses? Aren't those who are unlucky enough to pass by?

"This official will be." What I said was reasonable and impeccable, and of course the county magistrate could not refute it.

"That's good, then the women will ......"

I was about to leave, who knew that at this time, Hou Qizuo actually ran up to the hall to reply to the county lord: "Master Qiyu, the identity of the deceased has been determined, it is no one else, it is the newlywed wife of the new science and technology jinshi, the blue flag Lang clan." ”

Lang's? Wang Dacaizi's newlywed wife?

I suddenly felt a panic in my heart, why is it that who doesn't want to die, but she is the one who dies?

Although the new branch jinshi is not a big man, but the Lang family is a banner man, no matter how poor he is, there are subordinates to marry, how can he die and not report to the official until now, and no one will find out?

"How do I know?" As soon as Wang Dacai finished speaking, he suddenly thought of something again: "By the way, the grove in the west of the town, she used to secretly give me things there, saying that she was afraid that others would see me and gossip about me, would she be there?" ”

It's me who ignored it, under my coercion, if it was really a powerless scholar, how could he be so reasonable, so that I didn't suspect that he rushed to the place where the body was abandoned? And the time is so just right, the leaves go on the front foot, and I arrive on the back foot, it's outrageous......

"Lord Qiqi, Wang Jinshi asked to see him, saying that his wife left home the day before yesterday and did not return all night, and he was afraid that something would happen, and I hope that my lord will bring the murderer to justice for the sake of her father and your lordship as an official in the same dynasty."

That's just the right time! I always found that I was careless in Jingzhou, and I was actually calculated by a little scholar.

"I don't know if Wang Jinshi knows that his wife can usually have a grudge with others?" Hearing the words "being an official in the same dynasty", the county official came to the spirit - after all, his father was a Beijing official, and he was just a small county official.

"Back to my lord, when the inner man first arrived in your land, he didn't have a grudge with anyone, but-" Wang Dacai looked sad: "It's all my fault, I was so soft-hearted that a girl would be wrong, and I had to marry her as the main room." But our husband and wife are deeply affectionate, how can I take it differently? Unexpectedly, I killed Shu Lan! My hard-working Shulan is already three months pregnant - Shulan, I'm sorry for you! ”

Oh my God, this Wang Dacai has already made it clear that the murderer is Ye Zi!

I really don't know if I should be glad now, I was kind for a while, and asked Dong'er to send the leaves away. Fortunately, Ye Zi didn't have to look at her lover's beastly face in the lobby, and she didn't have to face the torture of a faint official in the lobby now.

However, I asked Dong'er to send Ye Zi away, and inadvertently made her bear the charge of absconding in fear of crime, so that she couldn't tell it clearly.

"My lord, Ye Zi is my student. I didn't see if she killed anyone, but apart from her future with Wang Jinshi, she didn't seem to have any reason to commit such a heinous crime. Just for this-"

glanced at Wang Dacai contemptuously: "Negative man!" ”

There was a commotion outside the hall because of my evaluation, and everyone pointed at Wang Dacaizi - I smiled proudly, it seems that everyone is still more sympathetic to Ye Zi.

"Y-you're so daring!"

"How bold am I? Am I not right? I faced Wang Dacaizi's trembling fingers and continued to step forward: "You keep saying that you hurt your wife, which means that you know Miss Yezi's true feelings for you, and you are so sure that she will hate from love, which means that you have long been aware of her feelings for you, but you only use a sentence to make a mistake, what is this not a negative heart?" ”

"You keep saying that you have a deep relationship with Lang Shulan, but you didn't come to report the case until she had her body so long ago. As soon as you arrive in the court, you don't look at your hard-working wife first, and instead of mourning and reflecting, you first want to confirm the guilt of your ex-lover. Isn't it strange that everyone was here to comment? ”

"yes, yes!" The crowd of onlookers outside nodded, and even the officials next to them also nodded.

"You-" Wang Dacai realized what kind of character he had provoked.

I am not an ancient woman, I will not bow to power, and I will not let my disciples be framed at will like this!

"My lord, how can a woman in the public court be allowed to make nonsense!" When reasoning is useless, people often resort to might.

"Presumptuous!" Before the county lord could speak, I immediately took the lead and said: "I didn't mess around with the county lord to make free judgments, although you are a new science and technology scholar newly recorded by the imperial court, but in the end you are also a master who has no real shortcomings!" What a sacred manor is above the public court, how can you be allowed to point fingers here? I hope that the adults will make a clear decision! ”

Originally, if I hadn't said this sentence first, the county lord would have sacrificed me, a "powerless and powerless" woman, to curry favor with this Jinshi who may have an infinitely bright future. But I interjected a few words first, and then he wanted to deal with me according to Wang Jinshi's request, that is, to admit in front of the people of the county that he was afraid of a little Jinshi who had no real shortcomings. Of course, it is impossible for our great dignified county lord to let himself lose face in front of the people - my trick is called a preemptive strike.

"Well, what Jin Liu's words are not unreasonable, you can't judge that the person was killed by Miss Ye just because they have a personal grudge between them. In this way, I will send more people to look for the traces of Miss Ye first, and when I find it, I will interrogate it carefully. Right and wrong, the official has his own judgment. ”

Hmph, your own judgment?

Since ancient times, officials have protected each other, how can there be arbitration?

The county magistrate would say this, but I was just able to resist my face just now, and I had to do it. But once the leaf fell into his hands, the public opinion was nothing more than him writing a document to force the leaf to draw a bet.

"Thank you, sir! The woman has taken her leave! ”

I slowly walked out of the court with my head down, but when I walked to Wang Dacaizi's side, I glared at him fiercely with X-rays.

Damn Wang slut, it's okay if you frame your old lover and want to solve the trouble forever, after all, people don't kill for themselves, and I can understand that you want to climb up. I don't know why you killed your pregnant wife, and I don't bother to care—but you dare to take advantage of me and deliberately lure me to Yezi, which you can't forgive!

The most hateful thing is that you haven't mentioned to the county magistrate that you asked me to go there to find someone yesterday, so Ye Zi will go there to hide, probably because of your deliberate inducement-you are scheming enough!

Fortunately, I was impatient and didn't mention that I had seen you yesterday, otherwise if you denied it, I would have become a suspect immediately!

You bastard, you want to change me from a plaintiff to a defendant, and I won't let you be complacent-

I want you to immediately turn from a victim to a murderer, from a proud son of heaven who was envied by everyone yesterday to a prisoner who is spurned by everyone!

"Dong'er, have you helped me hide the leaves?" As soon as I got out of the yamen, I saw Dong'er poking his brain outside the door.

"Miss, don't worry, she's safe now."

"Very good, you ride a fast horse now to call the master back, this time it may not be possible without him."

The sorrow of being an ancient woman is that no matter how smart and noble you are, you can't do without men in every way - even if it is a formality, you must have a man come forward.

And I, even if I am now the seventeenth prince of Fujin and have such a wide range of contacts, but I only involve a county official and a jinshi, and I can only let my husband come forward......
