Ye Chengwei unhurriedly took the case and looked at it carefully, and asked slowly: "Is there a provision in my court law that women can't go to court?" ”

"This"

Everyone looked at each other, all dumbfounded.

Lu Xiuyuan pondered for a moment, and said thoughtfully: "There is no such law and regulation, and there is still a precedent in Beijing to follow, Ji Yunchu, the first of the four talented women of the Great Cause Dynasty, has entered the Dali Temple many times, and also appealed for the wronged during the trial of the three halls, and turned the tide in one fell swoop to clear the suspicion of the wronged, so it is famous all over the world, and even His Majesty has praised this woman's courage and talent." ”

"Since Jingzhong can still tolerate everything, why can't my Jiangling City be under the rule of the Son of Heaven?"

Ye Chengwei faced everyone and said in a deep voice: "The lawsuit is not reasonable, if Miss Hua can clear the responsibility for the wronged, seek justice for the victims, solve everyone's doubts, and share the worries of the county, why should the county be restrained and lose the general situation?" ”

When the words fell, he looked at Hua Rujin and said righteously: "Miss Hua doesn't have to mind today, you can rest assured that you can speak out." ”

"Thank you, Lord Zhixian."

His courage made Hua Rujin even more confident, staring at Brother Zhang Xiu with burning eyes, and said with a cold smile:

"Zhang Gongzi really thinks that I am a woman who is not worthy of debating with you, or is he afraid that I will expose your conspiracy?"

Zhang Xiu looked disdainful and pouted arrogantly: "What conspiracy do I have, Miss Hua, don't talk about it." ”

After the words fell, he turned to Ye Chengwei and said quite angrily: "I implore my lord to return my uncle's body to my hometown for burial, this Han family has no remorse and sincerity, and they can't take out the silver, so the grass people don't want it, so please let the murderer immediately surrender to the law and seek justice for my uncle." ”

Then, he secretly glanced at the little boy on the side, and the little boy cried bitterly: "Father, you died so miserably, woo woo woo." ”

"Zhang Gongzi is really good, if you let this little boy cry, he will cry, if you want him to call someone, he will call whoever he calls Father, right?"

Hua Rujin stared at the two brothers coldly, and she couldn't tell that she was acting.

Zhang Xiu was immediately furious: "What does Miss Hua mean by this, the younger brother is inevitably sad when he loses his loved ones, what is his fault?" ”

"It's normal for people to cry for their loved ones, and I'm afraid that the true feelings of the two will come too late."

Hua Rujin twisted her eyebrows and sighed: "I heard that the two of them came to the county government yesterday to beat the drum and voice their grievances, why didn't they think about identifying the corpse yesterday, but it was only today that the Han family came to temporarily change their minds and wanted to return the corpse of their uncle?" ”

Zhang Xiu argued: "I naturally want to raise some entanglements to return to my hometown first, so that I can better settle my uncle's funeral." ”

"Uncle Ling has been missing for three years, and even the government doesn't dare to judge this case, you came from a foreign country just hearsay, how can you directly identify that the body belongs to Uncle Ling?"

Hua Rujin looked at him like a blade: "Unless you already knew that Uncle Ling died three years ago." ”

"Nonsense."

Zhang Xiu showed a look of grievance and looked at Ye Chengwei: "My lord, the grass people only thought that my uncle really went out on a long trip as Han Chun said, and suddenly heard the bad news, how could he worry so much." ”

"It's even more outrageous."

Hua Rujin sneered and shook his head: "Since Zhang Gongzi and Brother Ling think that Uncle Ling is out traveling, it is common sense to confirm the corpse first when they hear the bad news, and you said that you didn't care so much, how could the first thing you do is to find someone to extort money?" ”

"yes, that's a bit counterintuitive."

Cousin Ruya also echoed loudly outside: "A few years ago, an old servant beside me was killed in a fight, and I was still sad for a while, and only after burying him first did I seek justice for his family and ask for some compensation, not to mention that this Zhang family brother is still Zhang Yuan's nephew, how can he be so filial to the elderly." ”

Hearing this, there was an uproar outside the hall:

"Yes, it is said that the deceased is respected, how can anyone not let people be buried first but directly manage people to ask for silver, let alone a nephew and a son, even others are not so ruthless."

Zhang Xiu was immediately flustered, and pleaded again and again: "Lord Zhixian, the grass people only want to return their uncle's corpse, and ask the adults to make decisions for the grass people and the younger brother." ”

"Please also ask Zhang Gongzi to face everyone's doubts, how can you be sure that this corpse is your uncle's?"

Hua Rujin looked at the public hall slowly, heard the drumming sound that gradually sounded outside the hall, and continued to ask: "How can a corpse without a head be identified as that Zhang Yuan?" I think this is also an important reason why the magistrate does not dare to close the case, right? ”

Ye Chengwei nodded thoughtfully: "Yes, it is indeed difficult to conclude that this person is Zhang Yuan's corpse just by a headless corpse. ”

"But if that corpse isn't Zhang Yuan's, who would it be?"

County Cheng Tang Haoran also frowned.

Suddenly hearing the loud drums outside, he raised his head in surprise and hurriedly asked, "Who is beating the drums outside?" ”

The official of the outer hall replied loudly: "Lord Qiyu, it is a beggar who led a famous young girl to the county government to find her father. ”

Hearing this, there was an uproar inside and outside the public hall again: "Today's county government is strange, one looks at his old father in the morgue and does not recognize each other, but the other makes a special trip to the county government to find his father. ”

Ye Chengwei's face was cloudy for a while, and then he returned to normal, continued to stare at Hua Rujin, and said with a cold smile: "Miss Hua is really a good plan. ”

"Each other, each other."

Hua Rujin also replied with a warm smile, listened to the noise around her, and immediately raised her voice: "Then may I ask you, under what circumstances would the perpetrator want to cut off the head of the deceased?" ”

From the perspective of criminal psychology, the murderer must have done so for an unusual purpose.

Lu Xiuyuan thought for a while: "I'm afraid I want to hide people's eyes and ears and confuse the public." ”

"Not bad."

Hua Rujin replied happily, deeply pleased with the sudden enlightenment of this master of the classics:

"Destroying people's corpses and cutting people's heads is either to cover people's eyes and ears, or to destroy the corpses or have a deep hatred with them, obviously, the latter two are not, the relationship between the Han family and Zhang Yuan is not bad, but if it is to destroy the corpses, they will not only cut off the heads and leave the rest of the corpses, so there is only one possibility left to cover people's eyes and ears,

Since Han Chun admitted to killing someone, he naturally would not have this motive, he would not tell the government that he had killed someone, but he would stupidly deliberately sell the guanzi and let the government guess whether the person he killed was Zhang Yuan. ”

After a pause, she looked around and listened to the people who were listening to it before she continued: "And those who can have this motive must be hoping that everyone thinks that this deceased person is Zhang Yuan, so who will use this golden cicada shelling method to deceive everyone, and get the most benefits from it?" ”

Ye Chengwei closed his eyes: "In this way, I think only Zhang Yuan himself." ”

"Not bad."

Hua Rujin's gaze slowly fell to Zhang Xiu, who was panicking: "Just now I said that you already knew that your uncle died three years ago, that really wronged you, if you killed your uncle, you could directly frame Han Chun, why bother cutting people's heads, so there is only one possibility left, you already know that the body of the county government is not your uncle's." ”

"Miss Hua, you don't have to be clever with your tongue, just as fast as your tongue."

Zhang Xiu reprimanded angrily: "My uncle disappeared into Maoyuan Village out of thin air, you don't avenge my uncle, but you slander my uncle in order to earn that black-hearted silver, who else can the corpse not be my uncle?" ”

"yes."

Han Dong also showed a puzzled expression: "Miss Hua, when we went to Zhang Yuan's house that day, it was indeed him lying on the bed, and the clothes were also worn by Zhang Yuan the day before yesterday, but his head was cut off. ”

"That's what he's so clever at hiding people's eyes."

Hua Rujin glared at Zhang Xiu angrily, thinking of the miserable scene of seeing Cheng Nini's mother and daughter in the tunnel, the anger in her heart was like a volcanic eruption, out of control.
