Chapter 408: Prison Disaster (12)
The prefect is honest and honest, and has solved countless cases in his life, and he is most unjust in the case. As soon as the person arrived at the county office, before he could even take a sip of tea, he proposed to open a court to try the case.
The county lord immediately summoned the horse people and held a trial, not daring to delay.
The suspect Ru Yi, the defendant Wu Xiang, and the plaintiff Qian Li stood in the lobby again.
Ru Yi leaned on the chain in his hand, raised his eyes and looked at the lobby, the county lord was sitting on the side, and in the middle sat a middle-aged man with a solemn expression, dark skin, and exuding uprightness. Then she turned her head to look at the people watching behind her, among the many people, she saw Chu Mutian in the crowd at a glance, only to see a reassuring look from him, she immediately thought that this trial was only promoted by him!
Suddenly, my mood was much better.
The prefect slammed the shocking wood, and the officials were mighty, and the court opened for trial.
Although the prefect has been in contact with this case for a short time, less than a stick of incense, with his years of experience in handling cases, combined with the clues and evidence of this case, he has made the case clear at once.
The deceased Qian Abao ate the dish of tofu and spinach in Fuzhen Building on September 13, but returned home unwell and unfortunately died of poisoning, according to the information provided by Chu Mutian, the chef who cooked this dish at that time was named Fusheng. And this Fusheng couldn't stand the control of his mother-in-law at home, so he made that tofu and spinach soup for his mother-in-law, and then added poison to the soup.
Unfortunately, the shopkeeper of Fuzhen Building didn't know that the dish was poisonous, so he served it to the deceased, that is, Qian Abao's table, and such an oolong tragedy happened, and Fusheng immediately ran away after learning that there was a murder.
If it weren't for Chu Mutian's secret investigation, maybe Fusheng would have been at large forever, but no matter where Fusheng was hiding, Chu Mutian's secret post could be found.
The truth of the case has been revealed here.
The prefect sentenced him on the spot, and Fusheng was sentenced to death for manslaughter, which was to be executed five days later.
Wu Xiang was not strictly guarded, Fuzhen Building was seized, and he also had to compensate Qian Li's two hundred taels of silver.
Ruyi was wronged and acquitted.
After retreating from the hall, the onlookers gradually dispersed, leaving Chu Mutian alone standing at the door and watching Ru Yi being unchained by the officials from a distance, and then walked over to this side. He didn't move, waiting for her to come to his side.
Ru Yi stopped a few steps away from him and raised her eyes to look at him.
Chu Mutian's thin lips opened lightly, and said, "Ruyi, are you okay?" You go to my house to wash up first, and then change your clothes! If you go back like this, you probably will worry your family. ”
Ru Yi looked down at the dirty clothes on her body, smelled a sour smell on her body, and couldn't help frowning, indeed if she went back like this, the family would definitely be worried, it was better to wash up and go back, so she didn't think much about it, so she replied directly: "Okay." ”
Not long after, the two returned to Chu Mansion.
Lin Shu'er has been in a particularly good mood these days, because the person she hates has been locked up in prison and can't get out, but this good mood has not been maintained for a few days before it is broken today. She saw Chu Mutian return to the Chu Mansion with Ruyi, her face darkened suddenly, her eyes widened, and her face was incredulous.
