Chapter 251: The Emperor's Words Are Creepy
Bai Zihua doesn't look very old, and it also gives people a feeling that they are still not adults.
If you say that you have a son who is already working in the Qian Mansion, this matter seems unreasonable in terms of age, especially as a painter to raise a son.
The people in the hall seemed to be well-informed, and their faces already showed meaningful expressions.
Miss Qian seemed to react, facing the teacher who taught her to paint in the past, her beautiful eyes suddenly flashed with hatred.
"The son of a rich man...... I was born to Liu! Bai Zi's questioning of Changning Bo Zhou Yu directly confided the truth.
Yes?
When the officials such as Li Si, the head of the household department, heard this answer, their eyes couldn't help but widen, and they even tried a case of adultery.
It's just that many people have already reacted to this answer.
Qian Fu is a person who stepped into the coffin with half a foot, how can there be so many old people, it must be caused by the young Liu Shi who can't bear the loneliness of the red apricot out of the wall.
But in any case, now there is a most crucial eyewitness in the case.
The painter Bai Zihua had an adulterous affair with the Liu clan, and even today he is still breaking the thread, and Bai Zihua, who secretly went to the Qian Mansion in the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, happened to witness this horrific bloody case.
After understanding what happened, Changning Bo Zhou Yu also reached out and touched his nose and said embarrassedly: "I see! ”
Song Cheng faced Bai Zihua's confession and emphasized very seriously: "Bai Zihua, do you know that you admit that you have to accept the cane punishment if you admit to adultery!" ”
"They killed my son and slaughtered the Qian family, and the students now have nightmares every night. To stand up now is to atone for your sins, and you are not afraid of any punishment! Bai Zihua naturally knew that he was going to suffer from flesh and skin, so he just raised his head and responded calmly.
Li Yu and others still don't have a good impression of this painter, but they have more admiration for the choice of this adulterous man, after all, they did not choose to be silent because of the punishment this time, but stood up like a man.
Zhu Youzhu is like an outsider, leisurely sipping tea.
At this moment, he was looking at Bai Zihua's expression condescendingly, but he knew that Bai Zihua was not lying, and this person had indeed witnessed the bloody case.
It's just that the things involved in this bloody case of the Qian Mansion are far more complicated than everyone present thought, and in the end, I am afraid that a group of people will have to be killed.
Song Cheng put aside the matter of Bai Zihua and the rape for the time being, and continued to seriously ask the case: "Bai Zihua, you can see the appearance of those thieves clearly that day!" ”
"They knocked on the door of the Qian Mansion that day in the name of returning Miss Qian, so they didn't mask their faces, so the students could see the faces of all of them!" Bai Zihua nodded very seriously and explained the reason for the matter.
Yes?
Miss Qian's apricot eyes couldn't help but widen, and then tears swirled in her eyes, the tragedy at home was actually related to herself, and even her family was affected.
"The bandits are so cunning, this Fu Yin once suspected that they had an internal response, but he didn't admit that he had found such an excuse." Song Cheng nodded with understanding, and then stretched out his hand and pointed to the big dog kneeling next to him: "Bai Zihua, I hid in the pyre that day, can I see this person?" ”
The big dog was pointed at by Song Cheng, and he suddenly had an urge to dodge.
Everyone present saw that Song Cheng suddenly pointed to the big dog, and they all looked at Bai Zihua curiously, which will confirm that Du Ming, the Shangshu of the Criminal Department, was indeed involved.
Huichang Marquis Sun Ming and other Qi Xun were not so optimistic at the moment, but they knew that Song Cheng called Bai Zihua to overturn the testimony of beheading the big dog.
"Students have been learning to paint since childhood, and they can recognize people's faces at a glance, and this person's appearance is so unique, students are willing to use their lives as evidence, this person is not among them." Bai Zihua glanced at the big dog, even if he guaranteed his life.
The physiognomy of the big dog is indeed too obvious, not to mention this well-known painter, even ordinary people can distinguish it clearly.
Hey? Lie?
Seeing that this leader of the Northern Gang was lying, Li Si couldn't help but show a contemplative expression on his face.
If what Bai Zihua said is true, then this case has become more complicated, and some people even deliberately blame Du Ming, the secretary of the Criminal Department.
In fact, with their status and power, not to mention for a house outside the city, even for a house in the inner city, they would not commit such a big crime.
If they really want to make money in their capacity, as long as they hold the shelves and put on a good posture to eat the cards, the amount of ice and charcoal gifts sent by the local officials is several times that of the house.
It is precisely because of this that the bloody case of the Qian Mansion has risen to a new height, perhaps someone used this case to frame the dignified Shangshu of the Criminal Department.
Chop the big dog is not there?
Why do you have to admit it?
What the people in the hall are often pursuing is just the simple truth, but now after hearing Bai Zihua's testimony, they can't help but turn their heads and look at the big dog in confusion.
It's just that compared with Bai Zihua's confession, the credibility of the testimony of the leader of the Northern Gang is greatly reduced.
After Song Cheng heard Bai Zihua's confession, he turned his head to look at the big dog: "Big dog, do you still insist that you led the Northern Gang to launder money on the night of the 30th night of the Chinese New Year's Eve?" ”
"Little ...... The villain was instructed by Du Ming, the secretary of the Criminal Department, to go to the bloody Qian house that night, and he had already made it clear just now! The big dog didn't dare to face Song Cheng squarely, but he insisted on what he had just said.
Song Cheng raised the two notes Yang had just received, and asked seriously: "You said that Du Ming, the secretary of the Criminal Department, asked you to kill people by handing the note, but you and Du Ming, the secretary of the Criminal Department, are old acquaintances?" ”
"The grass people are engaged in murder and trading, and the Shangshu of the Criminal Department can only be regarded as my big customer, and I have no friendship before!" The big dog naturally doesn't climb the friendship indiscriminately, and responds very naturally.
The people in the hall listened to the big dog's answer, it really looked like a transaction to do things with money.
Song Cheng saw that the big dog didn't climb indiscriminately, so he asked seriously: "In this way, the reason why you are doing things for Du Shangshu is actually for the sake of money?" ”
"Yes, but not all, after all, being able to climb to the Shangshu of the Criminal Department is of great benefit to the grass people!" The big dog kept a heart, and did not directly say the words to death.
Song Cheng knew that the middle-aged fat man in front of him was very cunning, so he raised the note in his hand again: "There is something unknown about this Mansion Yin, how do you recognize this is Du Shangshu's handwriting?" ”
"Lord Fu Yin, you don't deceive the grass people, this is Du Shangshu's handwriting!" The big dog bites this thing very hard, and it seems to be confident and authentic.
"What if this Fu Yin says that this is not Du Shangshu's handwriting?"
"Song Fu Yin, this is Du Shangshu's handwriting!"
"If this Fu Yin says that this is not, how can you prove it?"
"Song Fu Yin, this is Du Shangshu's handwriting!"
"Ben Fu Yin wants you to prove it now, how do you prove it?"
Song Cheng circled with the big dog, and then explained the meaning, and now he is forcing the big dog to prove that the note in his hand is the handwriting of Du Ming, the secretary of the criminal department.
Hey?
Originally, some of the people in the hall believed in the rhetoric of beheading the big dog, but now after going around in a big circle, they couldn't help but cast suspicious glances.
If he hadn't answered earlier, it really wouldn't have been possible to prove that the note in his hand was from Du Ming, the secretary of the Criminal Department, so there was indeed a problem with this Northern Gang leader.
Song Cheng saw that the big dog suddenly fell silent, so he said his reasoning: "Since you are doing things with money this time, and Du Shangshu has nothing to do with you earlier, how can you recognize the handwriting of the dignified Shangshu of the Criminal Department?" Besides, even if the secretary of the criminal department wants to buy a murderer, it is impossible to leave a handwritten letter in person, which is clearly to give people a handle. Based on the above inference, this Fu Yin has reason to suspect that you are framing Du Shangshu! ”
Hey?
When officials such as Li Yu heard this conclusion, they also looked at the big dog with hostility.
Although the battle in the court continued, everyone just knocked it down, and now they are actually going to deduct Du Ming's head to buy the murder and destroy the door, and the people behind this scene have already stepped on the bottom line of the court.
In fact, this case is no longer a matter of the Qian Mansion, nor is it Du Ming's business alone, but their entire civil and official group wants to find out the black sheep.
"This is Du Shangshu's handwriting!" The big dog is poor in words, and suddenly goes back to the sentence just now.
This......
The hall and the hall were speechless for a while, except for this sentence, there was really no other fresh word.
It's just that everyone already knows one thing in their hearts, the so-called evidence of the big dog is actually not too convincing, after all, the big dog probably hasn't seen Du Ming's handwriting beforehand.
Song Cheng didn't chase after him, so he put down the note in his hand: "This Fu Yin now suspects that someone has forged Du Shangshu's handwriting, and this matter will be verified separately!" After a pause, he threw out another question: "The Qian family has a total of sixteen, I don't know how many taels of silver you received this time?" ”
"Five...... No, six thousand taels! The big dog suddenly reported a number, and then hurriedly changed his words.
Song Cheng saw his hesitation in his eyes, and asked seriously: "Is it really five thousand taels?" ”
"Yes, it's six thousand taels!" The big dog no longer hesitated, and it seemed categorical.
Song Cheng raised another piece of paper, and said playfully: "This mansion Yin is looking for someone to measure the Qian Mansion!" Although Qianfu occupies a large area, it is located in the north of the city to the west, and the north is directly facing the northern desert after all, so the value is not as good as the southern suburbs. If the imperial court built the outer city of Beijing, even if it was completed, its estimate would only be between 5,000 and 7,000 taels! ”
Yes?
When the people in the hall heard this valuation, they couldn't help but look at each other.
Even if you get the money house, it is only worth a few thousand taels, and Du Ming, the secretary of the Criminal Department, actually spent 6,000 taels to buy a murderous house, which is simply the most stupid act in the world.
"No, the villain remembered wrongly, it's six hundred taels!" The big dog also realized that he had revealed a flaw, so he hurriedly changed his words.
Song Cheng looked at the quibbling big dog with a serious face, and said expressionlessly: "Six hundred taels, that's the gambling debt you owe." On the night of the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, you returned from outside the city with a small number of helpers, and the robbery was originally quite smooth, but this year His Majesty specially let the Thirteen Beijing Battalion bandits. You happened to encounter S.H.I.E.L.D., and you were almost wiped out, and you didn't go out that day when you returned to the city, so how could you go outside the city and kill people? ”
In the city that night?
The people in the hall finally reacted, daring to love that the leader of the Northern Gang did not have a word of truth, and he stayed in the city obediently on the night of the destruction of the Qian Mansion.
On the contrary, the emperor, who has always been criticized by many scholars, actually sent the Thirteen Beijing Battalion bandits behind his back, this is the good emperor who really has their people in his heart.
"Traitor! Who is a traitor? When he learned that he had been shaken out of the S.H.I.E.L.D. camp, he immediately realized that someone in his team had confessed, so he inquired angrily.
Song Cheng didn't pay attention to it, but asked very seriously: "Kill the big dog, you still recruit it, right?" Why did you frame Du Shangshu, and who instructed you? ”
At this point in the case, only by following this clue to find out the real mastermind behind the scenes can the truth be revealed to the world, and the real villains can be brought to justice.
"I ...... I do not know! The big dog thought that his handle was still in the hands of others, and even shook his head.
Song Cheng saw that the big dog refused to say, so he even dropped the order to sign: "The big punishment waits!" ”
Four tall yacha stepped forward, two yacha knocked the big dog to the ground, and after the neck was forked with a long stick, one yacha pulled off the pants of the big dog and smashed it on the snow-white buttocks.
Syllable! Syllable! Syllable!
In just a few strokes, the buttocks of the big dog had been beaten to a bloody blur, but the big dog gritted his teeth and was not ready to confess at all.
10, 20, 30......
The rod kept ringing in the hall, and the big dog was sweating profusely, but he still gritted his teeth tightly.
When the people in the hall saw this situation, they knew that it was difficult to get the leader of the Northern Gang to speak, and this was likely to be another headless case.
When Song Cheng saw this situation, he also secretly felt troubled, and beating people to death by torture was definitely not his style of trial.
"Song Fu Yin, hand over the people to the miscellaneous family!" Zheng Guozhong stepped forward and said with a slight smile.
Song Cheng naturally disagreed with the handover of people to Dongchang in his heart, but when he saw Zheng Guozhong handing him over, he followed Zheng Guozhong's gaze and saw Zhu Youji, and knew that this was the emperor's meaning.
The big dog was taken away by Dongchang and will be tortured ten times more cruelly.
Song Cheng was actually a little disappointed, after all, it was very likely that he would find out the real mastermind behind the scenes, but he still picked up the second clue and asked: "Bai Zihua, have you depicted the people you see one by one?" ”
"Lord Fu Yin, this is a painting drawn by the students, please take a look!" Bai Zihua took out the painting that had been prepared long ago from his arms, which was Shangchengdao.
After Song Cheng saw the image painted by Bai Zihua, he forwarded it to Zhu Youji.
The reason why Zhu Youzhu agreed to continue to be tried by the Shuntian Mansion and came to hear it himself was precisely because Song Cheng had the key witness of Bai Zihua.
Although it had already been speculated that someone was afraid that someone would take the opportunity to frame Du Ming, the secretary of the Criminal Department, when the facts were really in front of him, he couldn't help but feel a wave of anger in his heart.
It's just that now things are evolving in the direction he wants after all, as long as he follows the clues, he will definitely be able to kill the people behind the scenes.
"Your Majesty, please take a look!" Liu Jin forwarded the portraits.
Zhu Youzhu took a stack of portraits presented and found that this painter should not be underestimated, this figure was painted vividly, but he took out one of the portraits for a long time.
"Your Majesty, what's wrong?" Seeing this, Liu Jin couldn't help but ask suspiciously.
Li Yu and other officials have always paid attention to Hongzhi, the son of heaven, and now when they see Hongzhi's behavior, they have cast curious eyes.
Zhu Youzhu took a deep breath, then showed one of the portraits and asked, "The person with this portrait, do you think Aiqing seems to be in the hall?" ”
As soon as these words came out, the audience was shocked.
