Chapter 175: Questioning in court
readx;? Yuan Weidao summoned everyone at the post station to the front of the wooden house, and because it was still raining outside, Yang Jing let these people into the wooden house. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Yang Jing usually uses the crime scene as an interrogation room, because this will bring invisible pressure to the suspect, and if the suspect's psychological quality is not strong, he will show timidity on the spot.
Because the wooden house had been cleaned, almost all the bloodstained furnishings had been removed, and the room seemed empty.
Yang Jing asked people to light butter candles in the four corners of the room to illuminate the whole room, which will also make these people have a feeling of having nothing to hide, if there is a ghost in their hearts, they will come from instinctively afraid of the light.
After the lights were lit, Yang Jing asked Zong Yun and Song Fengya and others to come in first, and called Wang Buliu and Wang Dou and others.
Yang Jing sat in the first place, which allowed Yuan Weidao to bring in all the people from the post station.
The personnel of these post stations are divided into two parts, one part is the family and servants of the post Cheng, Yuan Weidao lost his wife in middle age, and later accepted a village woman to fill the house, but it was not the continuation of the string as a wife, but the identity of the concubine, because Yuan Weidao regarded himself as a literati and looked down on the women of the mountain and wild villages, but there was no jasper in this ghost place, where did everyone come to be beautiful.
Yuan Weidao only has one son Yuan Shuxiang under his knees, as for the two maids, the young and diligent ones are responsible for taking care of the husband and wife, and the older ones are responsible for taking care of Yuan Shuxiang's study.
The rest are according to the regulations of the county government, the strong men who serve in the post are recruited from nearby villages, and they will be replaced in summer and autumn, a total of five people, four in the prime of life are responsible for daily chores, and one woman is responsible for laundry, cooking, sewing and mending.
Whether it is these villagers who are serving in forced labor, or Yuan Weidao's concubine Yahuan's old mother, they are all people in the village on the left, and they have never seen much of the world, and they are so frightened by Yang Jing's "court" that their faces turn pale, and they don't know where to put their hands one or two nervously.
Yang Jing glanced around, and saw that these people were shaking like chaff one by one, and he was a little unbearable, but when he thought that the people at the cleaning site were very likely to be involved, he hardened his heart.
There was no surprise at the scene, so Yang Jing grabbed a stone paperweight, slapped the table case suddenly, the tiger's eyes were angry, the official authority was fully displayed, and he shouted loudly.
"What a brave Diao Min, you don't kneel down when you see this official!"
These villagers don't understand the rules, everything depends on Yuan Weidao's eyes, Yuan Weidao has an official body, there is no need to kneel, they didn't kneel, seeing Yang Jing's anger, he immediately knelt tremblingly!
Song Fengya saw Yang Jing's majestic demeanor, and she also smiled secretly in her heart, but Yang Jing said solemnly and solemnly.
"Who cleaned this room, hurry up and truthfully recruit this official, otherwise this official will have to be tortured one by one!"
As soon as Yang Jing's words came out, these villagers were frightened, they were all wild husbands and village girls, and they often heard the foot merchants talk about things outside, and they were stupid on the spot, and they kept kowtowing and shouting injustice.
The reason why Yang Jing took the lead was to make the culprit show his cowardice, but these people were noisy and shouting, and their performance was almost the same, and in such a scene, Yuan Weidao, who was still standing down, was particularly conspicuous.
Wang Dou is an old catcher, and he is also familiar with the affairs in the court, knowing that Yang Jing is going to ask questions next, he shook the water and fire stick, and shouted: "Quiet!"
These people were like being choked by the neck, and they were suddenly silent, and Yang Jing was shocked at first glance, and the power and effect were really good.
Yang Jing glanced at it, and his gaze stayed on Yuan Weidao's body: "Yuan Yicheng, how did this official order you before?"
Yuan Weidao's body tightened, and he didn't dare to raise his head, his body bowed more and more, bent over like a stomachache, and replied cautiously: "Lord Yang... Your Excellency ordered the lowly to gather all the people of the inn here..."
"Since you know what the official meant, why didn't Yuan Shuxiang come! Could it be that he cleaned up the scene and concealed the murderer, and you want to cover it up for him!"
Yuan Weidao is a scholar who is a man, a self-proclaimed literati, and a post man who leads the imperial court, and when it comes to the size of his official position, it is not much different from Yang Jing's status as a pusher.
But he is just a post man in a poor place, except for ushering in and sending him, he does not have much real power, and Yang Jing, as a pusher, is responsible for the prison of the entire county, and the local government has already controlled half of the two main businesses of money and food and criminal name, so naturally it is not comparable to him, a post man.
In addition, Yang Jing's pomp and circumstance are huge, Yuan Weidao has never heard of a pusher being able to bring so many servants, and one or two are all hidden masters, and one of them heard that he is also the daughter of Song Ci, who is famous all over the world!
In view of Yang Jing's various things, when Yang Jing opened his mouth to command, Yuan Weidao was also startled, and immediately his feet were so weak that he wanted to kneel, and the only remaining scholarly arrogance in his heart supported him to continue standing.
"My lord... It's not that the old man can hide it, it's really the dog who suffers from lung disease, Lang Zhong said that the disease will be contagious, and the old man is also worried that the dog will offend the adult, so he didn't let him come..."
"Yuan Lao is really a post, he thinks about it thoughtfully, but the official is too careful, since this is the case, Yuan Lao will take everyone out, and the official will interrogate them one by one, this is the first to be interrogated..."
Yang Jing suddenly changed his words, and even his attitude eased, and everyone relaxed a lot, but Yang Jing said that he would leave one person down for questioning, and these people became nervous one by one.
Unconsciously, their emotions had changed with Yang Jing's joy and anger, and Yang Jing completely controlled the initiative, but they didn't know it.
Yang Jing saw that these people bowed their heads one by one and were silent, so he pointed to the woman who was washing and cooking: "Just this eldest sister will come first, and the others will go out with Lord Yuan first to wait." ”
After the woman was pointed out by Yang Jing, she also suddenly raised her head and glanced at Yuan Weidao, Yuan Weidao nodded slightly to appease, and then took the others out.
This small action naturally can't hide from the eyes of Yang Jing and others, and Yang Jing's choice of this woman as the first person to be tried is not without purpose.
Everyone has a herd mentality, and there is the idea of not being responsible for the public, and if a group of people stay together, their hearts will be a lot more stable, but facing Yang Jing alone will make their psychological defense line weaker, and women's resistance to pressure in this regard is even worse.
Even so, Yang Jing was still worried that this woman would fall into a collapse, and then it would be self-defeating and she would not be able to ask anything.
Yang Jing walked in front of the woman, put on an amiable smile, and said to the woman: "Sister, relax, let's just talk about family life, and we won't delay you for too long." ”
If you say "don't be nervous", the other party will notice the word nervous and will be more nervous, so "relax" is more effective than "don't be nervous", which also reflects Yang Jing's skills in interrogation.
The woman was in her early thirties, working all year round, with a dark face, but her face was quite neat, her hands and feet were thick, her breasts were bulging, and she was full of healthy beauty.
Seeing that Yang Jing was so casual, the woman raised her head slightly, and she didn't dare to look at Yang Jing, only seeing Yang Jing's clean chin, but for some reason her heart gradually relaxed.
"What's your name?"
"We savages, we don't have a serious name, the people's surname is Sun, everyone calls me Erniang..."
"Sun Erniang?" Yang Jing heard this name, and couldn't help but think of the person who bought human meat buns in the Water Margin, known as the first bewitching character in Liangshan, this Sun Erniang was the character who almost killed Wu Song, but unfortunately the woman in front of him had nothing to do with the bewitching at all, thinking of this, Yang Jing couldn't help but laugh secretly.
"Erniang, this official asks you, are you responsible for the work of cleaning the post station and taking care of the room?"
When Sun Erniang heard the word sprinkling, she was anxious again, and hurriedly raised her head and explained: "It is the women who are in charge, but this wooden house is not cleaned by the women!
Sun Erniang said while covering her chest tightly, this is a manifestation of self-protection, it can be seen that Sun Erniang has no sense of security, but she is afraid that the men in the post station will do a lot of things to her on weekdays.
"Erniang, don't worry, the official is just asking about the situation, as long as you don't do it, the official will naturally not do anything to you. ”
Sun Erniang looked up this time, but she saw Yang Jing's face clearly, but when she saw that Yang Jing's lips were red and her teeth were white, and her smile was like that of the younger brother next door, she also felt close in her heart, so she calmed down.
"Erniang thanked my lord..."
Yang Jing saw that she was relaxed, so she waved her hand, but her eyes were focused on her chest, of course, Yang Jing didn't want to look at her bulging breasts, but found that Sun Erniang's hands were shaking badly.
"Erniang, you don't have to be afraid, this official is not a tiger, this official is a Baling pusher, he should eliminate violence and peace, and protect the innocent, since it is not the room you cleaned, does Erniang know who has been to this house?"
As soon as Yang Jing asked, Sun Erniang became nervous again, and kept shaking her head and said, "My lord, Erniang really doesn't know anything, so let Erniang go!"
Sun Erniang was also in a hurry, grabbing Yang Jing's sleeve, and the tears rolled down big and big.
Seeing this, Yang Jing couldn't help but think, and looked down to see that Sun Erniang was holding Yang Jing, but half of her arm was exposed, and there were several bruises on the arm, and then from the neckline, there were also red peony-like marks on the neck and the hemisphere-like snow-white chest!
Yang Jing became more and more determined in his thoughts, and gently patted the back of Sun Erniang's hand and said: "Erniang, I know that you have been wronged here, as long as you tell me who has been to this house, this official swears to heaven that he will avenge you and let those who bully you get retribution!"
If you want a village woman to believe Yang Jing's words, it is difficult to do it with just a few words, but Yang Jing saw Sun Erniang's psychology, these people may not have much culture, but they are very superstitious about the gods and ghosts of heaven and earth, and this kind of behavior of swearing to the sky is very sacred and solemn for them!
Yang Jing's speculation is not very difficult, in this remote and bitter place, Sun Erniang is also quite attractive, and her status is low, there are only four women in the whole station, one is Yuan Weidao's concubine, which is untouchable, one is a personal little girl, serving Mrs. all day long, and the other is an old mother who accompanies the young master to study, those men who are in the prime of life will naturally regard Sun Erniang, a mature woman, as a fat sheep to be slaughtered.
Sun Erniang heard Yang Jing say this, her tears were like the tide that broke the embankment, she couldn't stop it, and when she heard Yang Jing swear to the sky, she finally knelt on the ground, kowtowed to Yang Jing and said, "Master save me!
Yang Jing felt uncomfortable when she saw this, but Sun Erniang obviously knew the inside story, so she couldn't help but get excited when she thought about it.
