Chapter 15: False Accusations
In the fifteenth chapter of the public court, Lord Liu sat in front, while Zhang Yushi sat on one side, and next to him was the nun Miaoyin.
"My lord, the nunnery is a pure place, and if something like this happens, please punish the murderer severely." Miaoyin's eyes wept, her hands were folded, and outsiders saw it, she really thought that Chu Xi was a big villain, but everyone looked at Chu Xi, who was slender, had a slightly yellow complexion, and was only thirteen or fourteen years old.
Lord Liu patted the wood in shock: "Silence! After that, he looked at Miaoyin: "You said that she killed Miaoxian, but what evidence is there?" ”
Miao Yin raised her eyes and looked at him: "The certified physical evidence is there." After that, he called a little nun to come up again, saying that she saw Chu Ji kill the killer with her own eyes: "I heard them arguing, but it was Miss Chu who mistakenly thought that Master Miaoxian had hurt her personal maid too much, so she held a grudge, and when she went out alone with Mrs. Shi that night, she killed the killer." ”
The little nun spoke eloquently, and the onlookers outside began to point fingers at Chu Xi, and Lord Liu also seemed to look at Chu Xi with satisfaction: "Chu Xi, what else do you have to say?" ”
Chu Xi glanced at Zhang Yushi, who was silent, this old fox was still watching the show.
Chu Xi was not annoyed, and raised her eyes to look at him: "My lord, can you allow me to ask this little master two questions?" ”
Lord Liu was dissatisfied and wanted to stop it, but Zhang Yushi opened his mouth: "Ask." ”
Chu Xi turned her eyes to look at the little nun with a straight back: "One, how did you judge that I mistakenly thought that Miao Xian had harmed my maid ring red leaves?" ”
"I, this ......" the little nun was speechless, glanced at Miaoyin, and after being glared at by her, she hurriedly said: "We all know that the girl who rolled down the hill and fell to her death, you said that Miaoxian was too killed, isn't this just a misunderstanding......"
"Not to mention whether you 'all think' can be used as evidence of the truth, just because you casually slander me with uncertain things, it can be seen that there is something strange in your words." Chu Ji said that, seeing that she was about to refute again, she said, "Second, since you saw me kill Master Miaoxian with your own eyes, why didn't you come out to stop it?" ”
When the little nun heard this question, she seemed to have been prepared, and immediately said: "I was frightened, my legs were weak in place, I was afraid that you would kill me." ”
The villagers outside sighed again, for those who didn't know about the nunnery, they were naturally good people, and what they said was naturally credible.
Chu Xi was still not angry or annoyed, and looked at her calmly: "Yes, is it possible that you are frightened, and it is dark, you are looking at the wrong person at all?" ”
The little nun didn't understand what Chu Xi meant, so she immediately said, "Impossible, it was you that night, I can see it clearly." ”
"Clear?" Chu Ji said.
The little nun nodded, and Chu Xi asked again: "Then what clothes did I wear that day, what kind of bun did I comb, what kind of murder weapon did I use, and where and when did I move my hands?" Seeing that her expression was slightly flustered, Chu Xi stepped forward lightly: "Since you said that you can see it clearly, then these most basic things should be seen and remembered." ”
The little nuns had nothing to refute, but they hadn't prepared these before, thinking that there would be no problem with Lord Liu's presence.
"Your two questions are finished, Chu Xi, you just say that you didn't kill anyone......
"What is Lord Liu anxious about?" Zhang Yushi looked at Lord Liu, who was a little anxious, and his forehead was sweating finely: "Lord Liu seems to like sweating very much recently, this is a cold day, don't be sick." ”
Lord Liu was busy wiping his forehead with his sleeve, and said with a flattering smile: "I'm not sick, I'm not sick, thank you for your concern." ”
"What are you hesitating about, not replying to her words?" Zhang Yushi said to the little nun, and did not forget to advise: "False accusations are also sentenced!" ”
The little nun's hand holding the Buddha beads trembled slightly, and said: "At that time, it was not long after it got dark, it should be around the end of the day, you used a dagger at that time, it was a dagger...... The little nun looked at Chu Xi's figure, she should only be able to pick up the dagger: "Then you combed your hair in the same bun as today, and wore the same clothes as today." ”
"Are you sure?"
"Sure." The little nun gritted her teeth and nodded, this Chu Xi only has a few old clothes a year, and she wears the same one, anyway, no one can testify.
Chu Xi turned around with a faint smile and arched his hand towards Zhang Yushi: "Please be aware of the time of death and the deadly murder weapon, so that you can do an autopsy and testimony, as for the clothes." Chu Xi raised her eyes to look at Lord Liu, who was sweating wildly on her forehead, and smiled even more: "Your Excellency can go to the Yongan clothing shop in the town to check, this dress is the old cotton clothes I bought yesterday." ”
Before Chu Xi's words fell, the little nun's legs weakened and she almost collapsed on the ground.
