"Because before, someone threatened us in the prison!"

"What?"

The words of these two confessions were like a thunderbolt from the sky, and the many officials present were scorched from the inside out, and some small cases are understandable, and they dare to do something like this big case that resounded in the capital, isn't this looking for death?

At this moment, someone had already cast sympathetic glances at Yin Ding Shichang of Shuntian Mansion who was sitting in the corner, and Ding Shichang was in turmoil at the moment, sweating like rain, trembling and not knowing how to explain.

Even if there is a problem with the confession handed in before, the prisoner in the case is now threatened in the prison under his jurisdiction, and he is still unaware of it, and the prisoner also retracts his confession in court, if it annoys the elder Ge......

Ding Shichang didn't dare to think about it anymore, he didn't care about the beads of sweat rolling down his forehead, and hurriedly knelt down and said: "It's because his subordinates didn't do a good job, and I ask the elder to blame!" ”

And those high-ranking pavilion elders didn't mean to hold him accountable, but just said lightly: "Get up." ”

Ding Shichang returned to his seat in a panic, and secretly resolved that when he went back, he would definitely clean up those guys!

"You go on, who threatened you in prison, can you see your face clearly?" Yan Shifan heard that there was such an inside story in the case, and he couldn't help but be interested.

"My lord, no one came, I waited for the note found in the meal, and the note is still on me."

"Oh, bring it up."

"My lord, for the sake of safety, I hid the note in the crotch of my pants, and now my hands and feet are handcuffed, I really can't do anything!" After the prisoner struggled twice, his face turned grim.

"Bold!" Soon, some officials of the Criminal Department reprimanded him.

"I'm really not lying, the note is hidden in my crotch!" When the prisoner was reprimanded by him, he was about to cry out urgently, and his words were full of grievances.

"Well, go find someone to take it out for him." Xu Jie sighed and spoke.

"Yes!"

Soon, the note hidden in the crotch of his pants was taken out and handed to the elders, who had seen the contents before setting it aside.

"You two guys are interesting, since the note told you to hide the case and promise to keep your family rich, why would you take such a big risk to tell the truth?" Gao Gong glanced at Zhu Qilu, who was kneeling on the ground, and mocked.

"My lord, although I haven't read any books, I am lucky enough to recognize a few words! In a family like ours, it would be as easy as crushing a bed bug if those dignitaries wanted to crush us. ”

"After the news of this case is over, the rest of our family members will be wiped out immediately, and as for the wealth they promised, I think it should be the wealth in the underworld. We killed someone, and we knew we were going to die! But in order to protect the rest of the family, I had to make this decision as a last resort, and I asked the adults to forgive me. ”

"Yes, yes, the two of you are quite smart, but it's a pity that you don't use this intelligence to the right path!" Xu Jie stroked his beard with some emotion.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the person who went to the scene to dig up the corpse has returned!"

Since these two people confessed that there were other corpses hidden, Yin Ding Shichang of Shuntian Mansion immediately sent people to dig up the corpses under the big willow tree by the moat, and now there must be a result.

"I'm afraid I can give an explanation to the elders now." In the corner, Ding Shichang breathed a sigh of relief, and his breathing became bolder.

"Let them in!"

"Yes!"

Soon, the men who had been sent out to dig up the corpses rushed back, covered in mud, and panted in response, "Huh... Ladies and gentlemen, we did not find the body in the place where the suspect confessed, but the soil at the scene showed signs of turning, and there were some blood stains remaining, and it seems that the body has been moved elsewhere. ”

"What? Impossible! It was buried over there at the time, how could it be......"

When the two killers heard the news brought by the officials, their faces suddenly lost blood, and they kept muttering as if they had lost their minds.

"Haha, these two people are framed, there are no other corpses called at all! It's all a lie made up by the two of them who want to reduce their sentences. Zhu Qilu on the side heard the news, and his face showed a hint of pride.

As long as the body can't be found, those officials will have no way to convict Zhu Qilu! To adjudicate cases, pay attention to the completeness of human and material evidence.

Now that the body can't be found, there is a lack of key physical evidence, if the ordinary government encounters this kind of thing, it will directly torture to extract a confession, let you admit it yourself, and Zhu Qilu is a clan, a royal family and a nobleman! Torture doesn't happen to him.

At present, the case is at an impasse, everyone, you look at me, I look at you, and I can't come up with a way for a while.

Just as everyone was thinking about what to do, the guards outside the door rushed in to report, with obvious panic on their faces.

"Gift...... Ladies and gentlemen! ”

"What are you afraid of, keep talking." Yan Shifan frowned and urged.

"His Royal Highness King Han Fan Zhao of Pingliang Mansion is kneeling down with his family in a few steps, approaching here step by step, I dare not stop ......"

"What?" Yan Song, who had been there all along, heard the guard's report, and his eyes were full of shock.

Rao was also shocked by the behavior of His Royal Highness King Han Fan Zhao of Pingliang Mansion at this time. He didn't expect that a high-ranking and hereditary vassal king would do such a shameless thing, and the purpose was just to intercede for the concubine who had committed a crime.

At this time, Yan Song no longer knew what words to use to describe His Royal Highness King Zhao, the key is that you kneel alone, you still kneel with your family! Where do you think this is? This is the Forbidden City, and you have lost all the royal face by doing this, and even Your Majesty will have to come forward when the time comes.

When the thoughts were flying, the cry of sorrow had come closer and closer: "Wronged! My son has been wronged! ”

"Let's pause for a moment, I'll wait to greet His Royal Highness King Zhao." Yan Song glanced at each other and said with a wry smile.

The officials who watched the excitement outside the lobby of the criminal department before were like hiding from the plague god, hiding from King Zhao and his family, and some of them were clever, and when they saw that the situation was not good, they were ready to take advantage of the lack of attention of their colleagues and sneak away, but they were discovered by their sharp-eyed colleagues, and they only ended up with a blank eye.

"Everyone, you have to be the master of my son, he is wronged!"

"His Royal Highness King Zhao, this case is being tried by the elders, and we can't help much." A warm-hearted official explained.

"Wronged!" Another cry rang out.

Seeing this, everyone hurriedly dispersed like a swarm, and no longer watched the lively idle time, and left the criminal department as quickly as possible, for fear that their parents would have two legs less.

"Who's making a noise outside the lobby of the Criminal Department?"

Yan Song walked out of the hall with the cabinet ministers and officials of the Criminal Department, looked at King Zhao and his family members who were kneeling on the ground, and frowned.

"Elder Yan Ge, my son is wronged! Please let him go. Zhu Zaibi, the king of Zhao who was kneeling on the ground, raised his head and said in a deep voice.

"His Royal Highness King Zhao, why are you doing this? Trespassing on the Forbidden City, interfering with the normal handling of cases, and shielding criminals are all first-class crimes! And you are a vassal king, representing the face of the royal family, and you should not ......"

Yan Song was helpless, so he had to persuade hard.

"I have two sons in Pingliang Mansion, one is not in good health, and the other is going to be killed by you! I'm a lot old, can you bear to let my family be extinct? ”
