Chapter 17: Confrontation in court
Bai Qingshan sat firmly on the square stool, and his heart was suddenly put into his stomach.
The prefect was so courteous, it seemed that the case had to be retried just because of the complaint filed by the slave of the kite, instead of reversing the case that he was afraid of.
"Bai Qingshan." Master Lu said in a gentle tone, "You can recognize the prisoners in the hall." ”
"Lord Huilu." Bai Qingshan arched his hand, his eyes fell on Ye Sanniang and said, "The grass people recognize her." ”
"What's her name?" Master Lu then asked, "What does it have to do with you?" ”
"Lord Huilu." Bai Qingshan said with tears in his eyes, "She is Ye Sanniang, the wife of my third son." He took out a handkerchief from his sleeve and wiped the corners of his eyes and said, "Since marrying into my Bai family, I have been married to my family, Qin Se and Ming, and have children. Filial piety to Aunt Weng, get along with her concubine, and the family is happy. ”
The tips of Ye Sanniang's ears moved slightly, what Master Bai said was not false at all, this is a true portrayal of her married life after marrying into the Bai family.
Ye Sanniang's life in her husband's family is so smooth, and her small life is twice nourishing.
"My son was angry and was admitted to Xiucai, but when he took the township exam, he was infected with wind and cold, lingered on the sickbed for several months, and left. Pity my white-haired man for sending black-haired man! Bai Qingshan said, and cried bitterly.
Ye Sanniang rolled her eyes elegantly in her heart, this white master is really a master.
Moved by Bai Qingshan's sincerity, Ye Sanniang suddenly burst into tears.
She didn't want to cry at all, maybe the residual emotions in her body.
Ye Sanniang and Master Bai were crying together, and their cries were louder than the other.
Bai Qingshan raised his arm to hide his face and wept, he couldn't help cursing in his heart, he originally intended to arouse more sympathy from Lord Lu.
didn't let this slut follow the crying pear blossom with the rain, and the delicate and weak aroused the man's compassion.
"Slap ......" The shocked wood slapped heavily on the public case, and Lord Lu said in a deep voice, "This government will not be held accountable for the loss of your son and husband for a while, and the court hopes that you will be restrained." ”
"Lord Xie Lu, the grass people are so sad." Bai Qingshan gradually stopped crying and sobbed.
Ye Sanniang stretched out her hand and kept wiping the tears that fell more and more, this is really not that she wants to cry!
Bai Qingshan, who calmed down his emotions, said with hatred, "However, all this has changed with my family leaving, and the family is unfortunate!" Ye Sanniang did this kind of insulting thing to the lintel. During the period of widowhood, you hooked up with your uncle, you were unfaithful to my family, unfilial to your parents, and unjust to your brothers, how do you face your children and let them bear all the malice for you, and you don't have a trace of benevolence for your children. He said heartbrokenly, "Ye Sanniang, who is disloyal, unfilial, and unkind, beg your lord to ......" got up and knelt down on the square stool, and looked at Lord Lu with tears in his eyes and kowtowed, "Heavy sentence!" ”
Wonderful, I have to say that Bai Qingshan is really eloquent, if he is not a person who has experienced it himself, in his opinion, Ye Sanniang is not a bad woman who does not abide by women's morals, has a vicious mind, and is heinous.
"Have you ever witnessed Ye Sanniang committing murder." Lord Lu looked at him with a sinking face and asked.
Hearing this, Bai Qingshan frowned lightly and looked at Lord Lu, this is the problem? How will he get back?
"Bai Qingshan's mansion asked, why didn't he answer?" Lord Lu said in a deep voice.
"No, the grass people didn't witness her murder." Bai Qingshan's eyes turned slightly and said honestly, and then asked rhetorically, "But how can I explain that my son died in Ye Sanniang's room?" How can she explain the flesh and blood she had at that time? The result of the post-mortem examination was that my son was bitten on the neck, causing massive bleeding and blood loss. As he spoke, the tears fell again.
"When you ask about this house, you just need to answer, and you don't need to say much." Lord Lu's dark and uncertain eyes looked at Bai Qingshan eagerly and said.
"The grass people are guilty." Bai Qingshan got up and bowed his hand and apologized.
"Benfu Nian will not be held accountable for your first offense." Lord Lu looked at him with dark eyes and said, "Sit down!" ”
Bai Qingshan arched his hand, lifted his clothes and sat on the square bench.
"In the testimony, after the deceased Bai Haoran was bitten on the neck, he covered the bleeding area with his hand to slow down the speed of blood flow." Lord Lu looked at him with deep eyes and said, "From a common sense point of view, Bai Haoran did not die immediately. On the day of the crime, Bai Qingshan, didn't you hear any movement at the scene of the crime? ”
"Back to the prefect, the grass people's courtyard is far away from Ye Sanniang's courtyard, and I haven't heard any movement." Bai Qingshan arched his hand and said, "The grass people feel good, and when they wake up to dawn, they really don't hear any sound." ”
Feeling good? Ye Sanniang's crow-like eyelashes trembled slightly, covering the doubts in her eyes.
Generally, when you are old, you are shallow, especially if you have such a big thing in your heart, it is strange that you can fall asleep!
Lie!
"Then Ye Sanniang's yard is also full of servants, and you haven't heard any movement from the scene of the crime at such a close distance?" Lord Lu asked again, "The scene of this crime is a mess, with round tables and drum stools, staggering. ”
The hatred in Bai Qingshan's heart! If only he had waited outside the wall at that time, so that his son would be treated as soon as possible, and he would not have died of excessive blood loss.
Bai Qingshan lowered his eyes and said in a deep voice, "I don't know." ”
"Lord Qiqi, Lord Lu, can the women ask a question?" Ye Sanniang raised her head slightly, looked at the prefect with deep eyes like glass beads, and said.
"Yes!" Lord Lu looked at her with dark eyes and said with big eyes when he heard this.
"Master Bai, may I ask, where are the maids and women who are on duty at night outside this courtyard?" Ye Sanniang tilted her head slightly, and her sharp gaze looked directly at Bai Qingshan Dao.
Bai Qingshan's cloudy eyes flashed a trace of panic when he heard this, he lowered his head, clenched his fists and coughed lightly, "You had a private meeting with my son that day, and sent the maid and mother-in-law away." ”
"Oh......" Ye Sanniang said in a long voice, her eyes as black as the deep sea stared at Bai Qingshan without blinking, kneeling and blessed her body, her dry lips opened lightly, "Thank you father-in-law for strengthening the night watch after the death of the child and his father, and protecting the safety of our mothers." He sat down on his knees and patted his thigh and said sarcastically, "This has always been a widow's door. ”
"Hmm......" Lord Lu looked at Bai Qingshan thoughtfully with a serious face, "Why is there such a contradiction." ”
"Contradiction?" Bai Qingshan looked at Lord Lu suspiciously, and then looked at Ye Sanniang and said, "How do these grass people know!" Pretending to be surprised, he said, "I took those servants away for the sake of cheating!" He said viciously, "These old slaves have done such a betrayal of the Lord and morality, and the grass people must sell them." ”
Sure enough, she was cunning enough, and Ye Sanniang didn't expect to rely on this to turn over the case.
Not to mention that the testimony of these slaves is too obvious to be admissible.
