Chapter 53: There is no excuse for the sin that you want to add
In the Wuping County prison, Ye Xu was leaning against the wall, sitting cross-legged, closing his eyes and contemplating.
At this moment, a rush of footsteps appeared outside the prison corridor.
After a while, Zhang Ergui hurriedly walked in, holding a few pages of rice paper that had not yet dried and came to Ye Xu.
"Brother Xu, the autopsy report made in the afternoon has come out." Zhang Ergui handed the rice paper in his hand to Ye Xu.
Ye Xu took the autopsy report and looked at it carefully.
"The bones are blackened, and you die of poisoning?" Ye Xu's pupils shrank, and he muttered to himself: "This is impossible, this person really died of poisoning?" This week, the eldest son of the family is too vicious, and he wasted a life in vain in order to put me to death..."
"Ye Gongzi, when the time comes, I have to go first." Zhang Ergui hesitated for a moment and said.
Ye Xu didn't say anything, his head was spinning rapidly.
"Wait...."Ye Xu stopped Zhang Ergui, who was about to leave.
"Take me somewhere." Ye Xu said.
"What?" Zhang Ergui was stunned for a moment, thinking that this is a county prison, do you want to take you somewhere? Where do you think this is? If I take you there, where will my majesty of a total head catcher go?
"Let's go, go to the morgue." Ye Xu directly ignored Zhang Ergui's existence and walked out with a swagger.
Seeing that Ye Xu actually "escaped" in front of him, Zhang Ergui cried and said helplessly: "Ye Gongzi, you respect me so much." ”
Zhou's house.
Zhou Qi was lying in a rocking chair listening to the sound of the caiqin with interest.
Suddenly, the housekeeper Zhou Gui walked in.
"Young Master, the matter is done, the county government has already defined the corpse as poisoned and died." Zhou Gui said sharply.
Zhou Gui has been injured in Ye Xu's leg since that day, and his lower body has been injured, and his speech has become sharp.
"Hmm." Zhou Qi nodded with satisfaction and said: "Now that the human and material evidence is there, tomorrow it will be Uncle Jing who will preside over the case, even if that Ye Xu has the ability to reach the sky, he will not be able to overturn the case!" ”
"Big boy, can you let the old slave kill this little rabbit cub himself!" Zhou Gui looked like he wanted to stop Ye Xu and kill him quickly.
"Well, you're going to do it." Zhou Qi nodded and said.
"Master Xie!" Zhou Gui slowly retreated.
Inside the prefectural prefectural office.
The prefectural magistrate was looking at the post-mortem report on the desk and fell into deep thought.
"Father."
At this time, Sun Bin pushed the door in.
"Bin'er, you're here." The county magistrate glanced at Sun Bin briefly.
"Father, is there a turning point in Ye Gongzi's matter?" Sun Bin asked.
The county magistrate put down the autopsy report in his hand, stood up, and said, "It's difficult, as far as the evidence at hand is concerned, it is very unfavorable to Ye Xu." ”
"It's really not okay, how about my father not open the net, spare him tomorrow, and sentence him to the crime of confiscation?" Sun Bin said: "After all, Ye Xu once saved the child, and the child didn't want to see Ye Xu...".
The county magistrate shook his head: "I also thought so in the afternoon, originally Ye Xu and I were both nine grades, I had no right to judge him, originally tomorrow as long as Ye Xu didn't tell his identity, I could still judge him by pretending not to know, but I just received a notice..."
"Zhou Laifu actually called his wife's brother, Bapin Inspector Yushi, Liu Jing, and Liu Yushi to come and try this case in person."
"In this way, the presiding judge of this case is not me..."
"We're very passive."
In the Great Xuan Dynasty, the hierarchy was very strict, and officials of the same rank could not be directly tried and convicted.
The official level crushes people to death, take the eighth grade and the ninth grade, although there is only one grade difference, but the actual power is very different.
Inside the Ye Xu Garden.
"Okay, Xiaoxuan, don't just keep walking around, it's so dizzy that my head is dizzy." Wu Yong said to Ye Xuan, who was walking back and forth.
"And you, Ju'er, you've been crying all day, can you think of a way? Ye Xu will be promoted to court tomorrow! ”
"What can be done? Otherwise, tomorrow we will rush directly into the court and rob Brother Xu, anyway, with Chu Ge here, no one can beat us. Wu Zhuang said.
Chu Ge leaned on the threshold and remained silent, as if this was a tacit acquiescence to Wu Zhuang's behavior.
"I went to the yamen today to listen to Zhang Ergui say that Ye Xu's case is a bit difficult to handle now." Wu Yong frowned and said, "It seems that the results of the autopsy have come out, which is very unfavorable to us." ”
"Anyone?" At this time, there was a knock on the door.
"Who?" Chu Ge walked outside the door and opened the door, only to see Zhang Ergui sitting on the ground panting: "Why do you take a long time to open the door, go and pour me a glass of water, I'm dying of thirst." ”
"Zhang Ergui, you still have the face to come here, my brother treats you well on weekdays! You actually caught my brother in it yourself! Ye Xuan directly knocked Zhang Ergui on the head.
"It hurts, it hurts!" Zhang Ergui dodged and said, "It was Ye Xu who asked me to come over and explain to you to do some things, if you don't do it, it's too late!" ”
….
The next day at noon.
Liu Jingduan, the eight-rank superintendent of the imperial history, was in the middle of the public hall, and the nine-rank county commander had to sit on the side table on the left, while Master Yao on the side stood next to him.
Hundreds of people outside the county government watched the trial in a crowded manner.
"Hey. What a good person the shopkeeper Ye is, he actually has such a thing...."
"In case something happens to Shopkeeper Ye, I don't know if I can eat French fries in the future..."
"What nonsense, Shopkeeper Ye will definitely be fine..."
Bang Bang Bang!
Liu Jing slapped three times in a row and shouted: "Quiet, quiet, come, bring the prisoner Ye Xu up!" ”
The voice fell, and Ye Xu was taken to court by Zhang Ergui.
In order to let Zhang Ergui have an explanation for Liu Jing, Ye Xu also deliberately brought shackles himself.
This shackle weighed more than forty pounds, and Ye Xu brought the shackles and his limbs were restrained. Obviously struggling to walk.
"Who's in the hall?" Liu Jing looked at Ye Xu with a condescending attitude.
"Ye Xu."
"Why don't you kneel when you see this official? Come on, give me a fifty board first! Liu Jing patted the shocked wood and shouted.
"Ye Xu is the ninth doctor of this dynasty, according to the law of this dynasty, the doctor and I are both court officials, Ye Xu only needs to bow to the doctor, but Ye Xu's hands are now bound by shackles, so he can't do it." Ye Xu said lightly.
"Doctor Jiupin?" Liu Jing touched his beard, indeed he was a little shocked that Ye Xu was still a nine-rank doctor.
"Now Zhou Qi of the Zhou family accuses you of poisoning and killing, are you serious, Lord Ben has sufficient evidence at hand, I advise you to confess your guilt obediently, so as not to suffer from flesh and skin!" Liu Jing snorted coldly.
Ye Xu smiled at Liu Jing Leng Ling on the stage, and spit out word by word: "If you want to add crimes, there is no excuse." ”
