Volume 1 Chapter 321 The Trial of the Court
Several members of the Li family were stunned when they heard the news, but they didn't expect that there would be such a story in it.
"Are they alright?" Li Tianrui asked anxiously.
That day, he saw the children send the father and daughter of the Yu family home, and the father and daughter were very enthusiastic about them, and invited them into the house to rest for a while.
But a few people were also very polite, knowing that there was no one in their house, they stood at the door for a while and left.
"It's okay, they've been brought back from prison for the time being, but the killers behind them won't rest on their laurels, so we need to find more evidence to clean them off."
The anxious looks on the faces of the Li family did not seem to be fake, and Xiao Wu explained with great relief.
After this time, the family may be the guests of the Xu family, and they will be greatly rewarded for this matter.
"It's windy on the mountain, so let's go to the house and talk about it." This was obviously not the place to speak, so Yuan Zhou and the others went to the Li family's hut at the bottom of the mountain.
It is said that it is a hut, but it is not small, but it is relatively dilapidated, and it seems that it has been built for many years, perhaps it is the transformation of the old house in the village.
Sure enough, Father Li looked at the house and said with a slight reproach, "This house was found for us by Brother Yu, it is an old house in the village, it is very dilapidated, but in the past few years, it has been cleaned up, and the family can live happily."
After that, she took a few people into the hall, and Li's mother went to the kitchen to boil some hot water to entertain the guests, and there were really no good things at home.
After entering the hall and sitting down, Yuan Zhou looked at Li Tianrui for the first time.
The little radish head beside Li Tianrui shrank his neck when he saw him, as if he was afraid of his terrifying face.
Not to mention children, Li Dehou's father and son, plus Li Tianrui, a half-grown child, were also panicked when they saw him like this, and they almost didn't startle them in the mountains just now.
"Tell me everything you've discovered in the past few days, especially that second dog." Yuan Zhou's voice was in great contrast with his appearance, and several people were suddenly not so afraid.
After that, Li Tianrui started to talk about everything that was wrong with Ergou after seeing Xu Yunzhao and the others, and also said that he had followed Ergou and found that he had a lot of money recently.
Yuan Zhou and Xiao Wu knew that this Ergou probably saw the real murder scene and saw the murderer's true face, so he would be immersed in the scene and tell the process of the murder of the father and daughter that they were almost inseparable.
And he was also discovered by the murderer, but the other party did not kill him, but bribed him with money and asked him to testify that Xu Yunzhao was a murderer.
I have to say that Ding Yulong is quite careful, in order to better blame Xu Yunzhao and them, he sent out exactly five people.
corresponds to Xu Yunzhao, Chen Siyuan, Wang Xiaoquan, Xiaodouzi, and Gao Yu.
And the person who is looking for is still a thin adult man, dressed not much different from the five of them, if someone deliberately guides them, the portrait of the suspect is not just a few of them.
Knowing an important clue, Yuan Zhou immediately sent someone to keep an eye on Ergouzi, not only to find out the news, but also to ensure that he would not be killed by the Ding family.
Maybe God is helping Xu Yunzhao a few, Ding Yulong originally planned to send someone to kill Ergou's mouth after Xu Yunzhao and the others were arrested.
But God was on the side of the good people this time, Ding Yulong had an accident, and his subordinates didn't think to do it.
And the He family didn't see Ding Yulong, so they naturally didn't know about Ergouzi, an important and important witness.
By mistake, they directly let Yuanzhou control the two dogs in their hands.
Yuan Zhou also inquired with the Li family about the most fierce families when they testified against Xu Yunzhao as the murderers, and learned that these families did not have a good reputation on weekdays, they were lazy and not wealthy, and they had festivals with the Yu family.
Finally, I asked the most important family in this matter.
It is the closest blood relationship of the Yu family in the village.
It's actually not very close recently, and the two families have already come out of five suits.
The father and daughter are separated from the ancestors of the old Yu family, and the other Yu family is because
It is the family, and the people in the village call them the old Yu family on weekdays.
The head of the old Yu family is called Yu Er, and he has a good relationship with Yu's father, and he has saved a lot of money by going south and north, and the village has also bought dozens of acres of fertile land.
is very righteous, takes care of Yu's father and daughter, and takes Yu's father and daughter to earn a few small money.
Knowing that the Li family fled from the famine and had no land, they rented ten acres of land for them to plant at the beginning, and the two families were their lifesavers.
So when the old Yu family said that they wanted to get justice for the Yu family's father and daughter, they all thought that they usually ran to the yamen to find out the news or something.
Unexpectedly, the next day, all the people in their family were gone, and the houses and fields were quickly sold, and by the time they knew, the door of Lao Yu's house had been locked.
Li Dehou asked Yuanzhou and the two of them a little nervously, "The people of the old Yu family will be fine, right?" In fact, he guessed in his heart that they were all hidden by the murderer.
Yuan Zhou and the others didn't speak, but Li Dehou and the others understood, and they also showed a worried look on their faces.
"You don't have to worry too much, the murderer's purpose has not been achieved, and it will not be detrimental to the people of the old Yu family." Xiao Wu hurriedly comforted them a few words, and they were relieved.
Yuanzhou and they didn't sit in Li's house for long, and they had other things to do when they returned to the county, so they got up and said goodbye to a few people.
"You are important witnesses in this case, pack your things tonight, and tomorrow I will have someone come to pick you up, go with us in danger, you go to Kyoto first, and someone will receive you."
Remember, don't reveal your whereabouts to anyone, not even those closest to you."
The Li family knew the seriousness of the matter and nodded hurriedly.
After leaving two people near Li's house to protect their safety, Yuan Zhou and the rest of the people returned to the county, and Ao Chong had already sorted out all the information.
The three of them stayed up all night and analyzed it, and finally sorted out their thoughts and flaws.
When it was almost dawn, the people of Xihua Village were still asleep, and two carriages drove into the village and stopped at the door of the Li family at the end of the village.
Two quarters of an hour later, the Li family and their belongings left with the carriage, and the direction of their journey was Kyoto, and no one knew it.
Yuan Zhou and the others guessed that except for Yu Er, the rest of the old Yu family might be hidden in Chunshan County.
So early in the morning, they divided into two routes, and Xiao Wu took people to find the people of the old Yu family.
Yuan Zhou went to the house of the dart bureau on the same day to inquire about the news.
Maybe the Ding family was prepared, but things didn't go very smoothly, and it took a lot of time for the two of them.
At this time in Kyoto, the court meeting began, and today is destined to be an unpeaceful day.
As soon as Xu Wen arrived at the gate of the palace, he saw Ou Hong, and the other party greeted him with a smile, as if yesterday's incident had not happened. new
Xu Wencai didn't bother to bird him, and directly ignored him and entered the palace gate, leaving Ou Hong alone and embarrassingly retracting his smiling face.
After a while, the time for the upper dynasty came.
Qi Ren, dressed in a bright yellow robe, walked majestically on the highest throne, looking down at the courtiers who knelt down to him below.
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live." The civil and military officials shouted out the slogan loudly I don't know how many times.
"All the ministers are flat." With a wave of Qi Ren's big hand, the people below all stood up.
Some people didn't dare to look directly at Qi Ren's face with respect, but He Chong and Qi Kun's eyes never left his face.
A grandfather, a grandson, and the thoughts of both generations are to sit on the supreme throne.
Qi Ren was used to such a gaze, his face was impassive, and he already sneered in his heart.
He Chong is just that, after all, he has the blood of his He family all over his body, but how can he say that his son also has half of his blood, why didn't he learn the good of the Qi family at all.
Thinking about Qi Ren in his heart, he looked at Qi Kun, he hadn't paid attention to his appearance for a long time, at first glance, he didn't look like him at all, it was too ugly.
Qi Ren glanced at Qi Kun with disgust, and then turned his eyes to Qi Yu, still happy
Yisheng's baby is good-looking.
If it is known that the lord of a country is thinking about inconsequential things at a serious court meeting, I am afraid that the common people will laugh off their big teeth.
Everyone had different thoughts, and it wasn't until the great eunuch beside Qi Ren shouted as usual, "There is something to start and nothing to retreat," and everyone retracted their thoughts.
The court meeting officially began.
Xu Wen took the initiative and told the matter at the court meeting, and a trace of murderous intent flashed in He Chong's eyes when he looked at him.
"Enlighten the saint, the minister also learned about the incident from a few children, and the minister has doubts that are unclear, so he asks the saint to allow the minister to confront Lord Ou.
If all the suspicious points can be told by Lord Ou, and find human and physical evidence to prove that the murderer is indeed them, then the minister will personally send the children back to prison.
If not, please ask the Holy Lord to investigate, hand the case over to the Criminal Department for trial, catch the murderer behind the scenes, and return the innocence of several children."
Xu Wen knelt on the ground and said it to Qi Ren, but the fierce light in his eyes went straight to Ou Hong, and he and his son, neither of them wanted to escape.
The light was so bad that Ou Hong didn't dare to look directly at him.
"Enlighten the saint, the minister has something to say." Before Qi Ren could say for sure, He Chong stood up.
"What did the Prime Minister say?" Qi Ren was impatient in his heart, but he didn't react on his face.
Old fellow, sooner or later I'll destroy you.
"The minister thinks that this is just an ordinary case that can be tried privately, is it a little inappropriate to take up the time of the court meeting?"
What He Chong meant in his words was that it was not sensible for Xu Wen's housework to be argued on such an important occasion.
There are rules at the court meeting, the emperor is the largest, and he can be tried in private, whether it is the criminal department or transferred to Dali Temple, the space for operation is not small.
Even if most of the people in these two places were Qi Ren's people now, he would be able to find a better solution from them.
"What the prime minister said is very true, but I think this matter is not a trivial matter, there are people at the feet of the Son of Heaven who accept bribes and torture them to extract confessions without trial, and the other party is still a few twelve or thirteen-year-old children.
If this case could not be explained to the people of Kyoto, wouldn't all the people of Daqi be in danger, for fear that one day they would be caught in the street and beaten in prison.
This matter can't be made small, and the people must see that the court attaches great importance to this matter.
As soon as Qi Ren said this, He Chong didn't dare to say it again, for fear of being labeled with something else.
