The people on the street were discussing it enthusiastically.

"I heard that the man who died, it's bad! The rotten gambler beat his wife to death! ”

"I know his wife, it's a good person, but it's a pity ......"

"No matter what, you can't fill your life with innocent people!"

"That's it! Look what those in power have to say! ”

Zhang Yuqing looked at the dense crowd of people on the street, her smile was confident and bright, and she was radiant, "If I was only fifty percent sure that He Qi came out of the yamen in a dignified manner, then now I can say that I am ten percent sure." ”

Luo Danyang nodded, "I believe He Qi will be acquitted." ”

After Wang Chunniang's enlightenment in the past few days, Mrs. He has calmed down a lot, and said to everyone: "I thank you all if it is successful, I can't repay you in this life, and I will repay your kindness in the next life as a cow and a horse!" If it doesn't work, I'll bother you to collect my son's body and bury our mother and mother together......"

"Auntie, it will definitely be done!" Wang Chunniang comforted softly.

An official in an official uniform entered the public hall from the back hall with his hands behind his back, lifted his official robe, and sat on a chair.

Fang Mo and He Qi wore wooden shackles, were taken to the lobby by the official messenger and knelt down.

The brothers of Fang Moshi were excited, and looked at the two of them worriedly, and the onlookers also clamored, scrambling to say to others: "People are out!" ”

The official was shocked and asked, "Who is in the hall?" Why did the court shout grievances and interfere with the execution? ”

Fang Mo shouted: "Grass people Fang Mo, shout for my righteous brother He Qi!" He didn't kill Zhang San who died! ”

"How do you know he didn't kill him? There are all human and material evidence, what else is there to quibble? The official asked.

Fang Mo shouted: "Please come up, the grass people have something to ask him!" ”

Fang Mo's senior brother shouted loudly outside the public hall: "Xuan Xuanzuo! Publicity! The people outside the court also shouted, like thunder.

The officials had no choice but to make a statement.

After he came up, Fang Mo glared and asked, "You said that the deceased was stabbed in the heart by a knife in his sleep, didn't you?" ”

He didn't look at Fang Mo and He Qi, and said, "That's how dead!" ”

"I ask you, if a living person is stabbed in the heart without warning, should the blood be splattered everywhere?" Fang Mo asked.

He was silent, and his hands were shaking.

The officials were impatient, patted the shocked wood, and asked, "You have been working for more than ten years, and you don't even know this?" ”

Even he knows.

"Yes, there should be splattered blood." Helpless, he bowed his head and said.

Fang Mo immediately asked, "Then why doesn't there be a word on your autopsy file that mentions blood splattering?" ”

His face was snow-white, and he stammered, "No, no? Xu, Xu I forgot! Even if I don't write, I can't change the fact that the prisoner committed murder! ”

"So, you were at the scene and did see blood splattered? Is there a murder weapon? Fang Mo asked again.

He said impatiently, "Maybe! ”

"Is there any?" Fang Mo asked.

He arched his hand to the presiding judge and said, "My lord, this Diao people are simply unreasonable, the knife has long been wiped clean of bloodstains, and it has been presented to the yamen as evidence for sealing, and now there is no bloodstain at all!" My lord, you should behead this Diao Min and his righteous brother as soon as possible, lest those Diao people do the same and all of them will come to make trouble and rebel! ”

Fang Mo raised his chin and shouted with his neck stalked: "Zuo, I ask you questions, but you can't answer any of them!" I see that the results of your autopsy are fake! You made it up! You must have received black money from someone else! ”

"Nonsense!" He was furious, "You dare to slander me!" ”

Fang Mo glared at him fearlessly, "You just need to answer me, whether there is any blood splattered on the upper part of the knife and the hilt!" ”

"Naturally, there are quite a lot!" He sneered with his hands behind his back.

The deceased was stabbed in the heart in his sleep, and a large amount of blood must have been spurted out, and it is only natural that the blade and handle of the knife are stained with blood.

But the knife had already been wiped clean when it was pulled out, and what if there were blood stains, there was no proof of death.

The presiding judge asked Fang Mo, "What else do you have to say?" ”

At this moment, there was a commotion behind the crowd.

Zhang Yuqing looked back, and it turned out to be Lu Wei, who had a dusty face, and came over with Fang Qin.

The eyes of the two met for a moment, and Zhang Yuqing immediately turned his head.

Fang Mo didn't know that the master had come, knelt in the public court, and said loudly: "The night before my senior brother went to the Dharma field, Lord Yama gave me a dream, saying that my senior brother's life should not be extinguished in the book of life and death, but there are people in the world who are careless and lawless, and they want to send him down!" I asked Lord Yama what was going on, and Lord Yama made a magic weapon and let me see a scene, that Zhang San was lying on the bed, already dead, and someone I didn't recognize was holding my senior brother's knife and plunging it into his chest! ”

"Nonsense! It's just, it's ridiculous! He was anxious and angry, "My lord, you see that he is simply ridiculous!" What kind of Yama lord dreams, he has a heart to play with us! ”

The presiding judge's face was very ugly, he slapped the shocked wood, and scolded sharply: "In broad daylight, Lang Lang Qiankun, Zi is silent and strange!" If you dare to talk nonsense in the public court again, and cause trouble to people's hearts, this official will cut you first! ”

Fang Qin couldn't believe it and muttered, "Is he crazy?" ”

In the solemn public hall hanging high in the mirror, he said that Lord Yan gave him a dream or something, and the presiding judge did not drag him down to play the board because he was afraid of the pressure of tens of thousands of onlookers outside.

Lu Wei kept his face calm and did not speak.

"You have dreamed that someone stabbed the dead with a knife, that person must be your senior brother!" He shouted again.

Fang Mo sneered, "That person is thin and short, he definitely isn't my senior brother!" ”

"Enough! It's ridiculous! The presiding judge shouted.

Fang Mo immediately said, "My lord, what I said is the truth! I have proof that I'm telling the truth! ”

"What evidence do you have?" The presiding judge asked.

Fang Mo shouted, "Lord Yama gave me a divine water, as long as you spray it on the knife, the disappeared blood stains can be revealed!" Please let me give it a try! If it is found that there are only blood stains on the part of the deceased's body that has not been submerged in the knife, it means that the knife was stabbed after the deceased's death, and it is not my senior brother who killed him with a knife at all! ”

Someone outside shouted, "God has also appeared!" It was a big thunderstorm that day! ”

"The blood on the court has become a single injustice!"

"And the trees are all scorched!"

"I heard that there are a lot of birds hitting the ground, that's to avenge the criminals!"

"God is angry!"

The presiding judge was silent for a moment.

Zhang Yuqing's fan covered half of her face and the corners of her lips.

Why was atheistic thought valuable in ancient times? It's because it's rare, it's too rare. Everyone believed that there were gods who were three feet above their heads, and even if they passed by a shabby earth temple, they had to go in and worship them, so as not to let the gods misunderstand that they were disrespectful to him.

The officials of the yamen are also ordinary people, and they are the same, preferring to believe in what they have rather than what they don't.

Fang Mo's brothers led their acquaintances to shout everywhere: "Let him test!" Let him test! ”

"He really killed him, it's not too late to cut off his head!"

The presiding judge was flustered by the shouts outside, frowned and said: "According to your statement, if the knife is full of bloodstains, it means that the deceased was indeed stabbed to the heart by the knife and died, and if it is found that there are no blood stains on the upper part of the knife and the hilt, it means that the deceased did not die under the knife?" ”

"Yes! If there is no bloodstain in the test, then the so-called witness testimony, as well as the autopsy results of this fake work......" Fang Mo's eyes erupted and looked at the fake work, and shouted loudly: "It's all fake!" They have perjured and wronged my brother! ”

The presiding judge looked hesitant and asked, "What if nothing can be tested?" ”

"Young man, you are still young, why bother to kill yourself by pretending to be a ghost?" Kou Leguo, the clerk in charge of recording next to him, kindly persuaded, "You see that you have made such a big fuss about this, making it difficult for adults." In this way, you should beg your lord to ......."

Fang Mo gritted his teeth and said, "Except for begging the adults to let us test the knife, I don't have anything else to ask for!" If you can't find anything, the adults will cut me and my brother on the spot! It can be regarded as an explanation to so many people! ”

"Good!" The presiding judge slapped the wood in surprise and asked the officer to bring the steel knife for physical evidence.

He was in a hurry, "My lord, this Diao people are talking nonsense, what else is the Lord of Yama, he is clearly a madman!" My lord, you can't be led by the nose by him! ”

"He's empty-hearted!" Zhang Yuqing pointed at the right time and shouted.

The people who had been watching the development of the situation suddenly woke up and shouted "he must be a thief" and something like that.

Lu Wei suddenly looked at Zhang Yuqing not far away, his eyes sharp.

He was anxious and angry, wanting to see who was saying bad things about him, but the black crows outside the public hall were all people, and Zhang Yuqing was protected by several tall men, and he couldn't tell who was talking at all.

The steel knife was quickly presented, four fingers wide and more than a foot long, and the delicate steel knife emitted a faint cold light on the tray. It is hard to imagine that such a beautiful knife was plunged into the chest of the deceased not long ago and became a murder weapon.

"How are you going to test the knife?" The presiding judge asked.

Fang Mo turned around and shouted to the senior brothers who were waiting outside.

A man entered the lobby with an urn filled with water.

Fang Mo shouted, "This is the divine water that Lord Yama left for me!" Bloodstains on the knife can be examined! ”

His face turned pale, and beads of sweat the size of beans slipped down against his forehead and sideburns.

The presiding judge motioned, "Let him try!" ”

When the man passed by with the urn in his hand, he scolded: "Lord Yama and God can't stand it anymore!" All here to help us! You wait to die! He took another sip.

He took a step back with his legs shaking, anxious to see how the man tested the bloodstains, but he didn't have the heart to scold the man.

One of the two servants held the two ends of the steel knife, and the man held the urn and poured down on the steel knife.

Everyone held their breath, and the lobby and the crowd of people outside were silent, staring nervously at the scene in front of them.

Even the presiding judge subconsciously stood up from his seat, leaned forward, and looked nervously.
