Chapter 359: The Truth of the Case
Hu Shangxuan and Jiang Jingxue were there to testify this time, and they only needed to carefully explain the situation that day, and the boatman was naturally also present.
The three of them were the first discoverers, and in this court, there were a lot of witnesses, there were several maids in Zhang's house, as well as the stall owner of the wonton stall that Miss Zhang had eaten during the private meeting with the fake scholar, and the owner of the fat powder shop where the fake scholar went to buy rouge for Miss Zhang, and many inconspicuous characters, but they were all related to this case.
Jiang Jingxue and Hu Shangxuan actually didn't have much to say, and they asked the two of them soon after they went to the court, and then they had nothing to do with them, and above this court, the two of them were also very inconspicuous.
Jiang Chengye knelt in front of him a little, he couldn't look back, but Jiang Jingxue saw him at the beginning, after spending so many days in prison, he was already a lot haggard, his hair was messy, and he was really sad to think about the coming days.
Today's case is officially heard, the relevant evidence and material evidence have been completed, and the principal of the Zhang family is also present.
In such a small place, it is rare to encounter such a case, not to mention that it also alarmed the government office, so this case was tried extremely carefully.
The fake scholar should have suffered a lot of punishments, he was hard-mouthed before, but now he should have been recruited, and it took half a day for the case to be sorted out.
Although he asked Jiang Chengye and others to write a lot of letters to stimulate Miss Zhang, Miss Zhang had no worries about food and clothing, and her father and brother loved her, so she couldn't do anything suicidal easily.
The fake scholar has a wife himself, and his life is not too poor, but he is actually a door-to-door son-in-law, and he has to rely on his wife's mother's family to live, and this matter must not be poked out.
In order to protect himself, he could only kill Miss Zhang, because Miss Zhang had repeatedly proposed to let him divorce his wife and remarry, and the matter was turned out, not only could his father-in-law's family not spare him, but even the Zhang family would not let him go easily.
Therefore, the letter did not let Miss Zhang commit suicide, so he found an opportunity to ask Miss Zhang to go to the lake, and then pushed her into the water and drowned, in order not to be discovered, he also tied several stones to Miss Zhang's feet.
After a few days, the stone was loosened, and the body surfaced, which happened to meet Hu Shangxuan and his wife, who were playing on the lake, and the case could be regarded as a re-discovery, otherwise the Zhang family would still be looking for people all over the world.
After the case was clarified, the onlookers outside were already angry, and they spat at the fake scholar one after another, and Jiang Chengye and others were also scolded a lot, they deserved it.
Hu Shangxuan protected his daughter-in-law, for fear that she would be affected, this was the first time Jiang Jingxue had personally experienced a court trial, it was really insightful, and it was indeed a little scary.
The case is clear, everyone is indignant about Miss Zhang's death, it's really not worth it for such a scumbag, and some people say that the Zhang family is not, why can't such a big girl still look at it? She is not deeply involved in the world, her parents and relatives should be more caring, and she should never only ensure that she has no worries about food and clothing.
The facts of the case are clear, the next step is to convict, the fake scholar does not need to say, he must be beheaded, and after being convicted, he will be escorted to the capital, and he will be beheaded after the autumn.
After convicting him, the fake scholar collapsed his shoulders, which can be regarded as a sigh of relief, and he has not been able to sleep well these days, but now that he has the result, at least he does not have to be afraid.
And Jiang Chengye and a few of them ghostwriters, they are all trembling at this time, Jiang Chengye is better than the other two, it can be seen that he is trying to endure it, but his shoulders are still shaking slightly.
The fake scholar is already a capital crime, and a few of them help him deceive people, what kind of crime will it be?
There is no way to quibble about such a thing, the handwriting is easy to read, and there is no way to say that they don't know that the prisoner is deceiving people, after all, they wrote down every word by themselves, and the fake scholars have no literary talent, but the letters are brilliantly written, and they are all their own masterpieces.
Therefore, no one will know about this matter if it comes out, and as long as it does, there is no way to quibble.
Miss Zhang did not commit suicide because of the letter, so they did not directly harm people's lives, but helping fake scholars to deceive is an ironclad fact, and this crime is not light.
The other two people were just white, so they were sentenced to three years of hard labor, and in these three years, they had to be arranged by the yamen to do hard labor, where to go hard, don't look at the days are not long, both of them are in their forties, and they don't know if they can finish it alive.
And Jiang Chengye is a little different, he already has the fame of Xiucai, the law of this dynasty, those who have merit and fame can be exempted from punishment to a certain extent, and his sin must be pondered.
Today, there are officials from the government office, and the county magistrate and the government government have discussed, and in the end, Jiang Chengye was convicted of taking away his reputation for showing off his talents, and he does not have to serve a prison sentence, but he can only conduct scientific examinations again after ten years.
This is not as good as three years of hard labor for Jiang Chengye, he has been studying for so many years, and he hopes that he can become famous and get ahead, but now the chickens and eggs are beaten, and there is nothing.
If he wants to gain fame in the scientific examination again, he needs to wait for ten years, ten years, how many decades can a person have in his life?
Such a verdict is equivalent to declaring that all his years of hard work have been in vain, the books have been read in vain, and the family's money has been spent in vain.
Jiang Chengye expressed his dissatisfaction on the spot, Zhang Zhixian said, "This official has already given a light sentence for the sake of you Xiucai, if you are not satisfied, you can go up to avenge your grievances, but will this result be better, you should know in your heart, this is human life, do you think it is a playhouse?" ”
Jiang Chengye's crime must be decided, and he has no choice but to regret it if he refuses to accept it.
Next, there are several maids of the Zhang family, who were convicted if they didn't report it, but it was much lighter.
The Zhang family is still satisfied with the outcome of the trial, there are no more people, and the living people can only do their best to seek justice for her, and now they can be regarded as having an explanation for Miss Zhang.
After the trial of the case was over and they retreated, Hu Shangxuan and Jiang Jingxue pressed their handprints before they went out of the yamen.
Jiang Jingxue sighed and said in a low voice, "I really didn't expect this case to be like this, Miss Zhang's tragic death, these people are indeed the murderers who contributed to the trouble, Shang Xuan, I'm so afraid." ”
Hu Shangxuan said, "Don't be afraid, with me, no one can harm you." ”
Jiang Jingxue shook her head, "I'm afraid that in the future, we will give birth to a daughter, what if she is deceived?" We can't always be by her side to protect her, what if we meet the bad guys? ”
Hu Shangxuan stretched out his hand to hold her shoulder, and said very seriously, "Then let's teach her to distinguish bad guys from a young age, teach her to trust her father, and I can also teach her self-defense kung fu, are you still worried?" ”
Jiang Jingxue smiled slightly, "A little bit." ”sxbiquge/read/4/4858/ )
