Fortunately, Song Che had the foresight to make a deed in advance, and its content was roughly "life and death", but after all, it was about a human life, and I am afraid that this deed would not be of much benefit to He Qiu.

"Since it has happened, there is nothing to escape, we injured Liu Wei an hour ago, but we definitely didn't kill him-"

"Of course you don't admit it, you didn't kill people-"

"Shut up!"

Song Che cut off the slander of the leper, "What is the matter with this murder case, I went to court and asked for a job, and the truth will be revealed, I don't need you to fan the flames here, and besides, if it weren't for your greed for money and stretching out your face to beg for a beating, how would this matter have happened?" ”

The leper was speechless.

Song Che looked at Xu Xiao again: "This incident originated from me, and Yue'er and I will go back to the yamen with you to be judged." ”

Xu Xiao sighed lightly and made a gesture of please.

"Husband......

"Uncle......"

Worry was written on the faces of the guys.

So what else can be done? The sky fell, and the pillars resisted.

"Song Che, I really didn't kill him." Lin Yue said guiltily.

Song Che stared at the leper and said coldly: "Don't worry, justice is in the hearts of the people, in this world, no one can plant my Song Che's stolen goods!" ”

……

Above the court, He Qiu was meticulous, don't look at him being so familiar with Song Che, when he saw Song Che being brought to the court, the corners of his mouth were even a little proud, as if to say: It can be regarded as an opportunity to judge this guy.

Under the public court, there was a corpse parked, Liu Wei, who was slapped by Lin Yue an hour ago. Kneeling beside the corpse were four other lepers who had been beaten and bruised and swollen.

Outside the court, Shen Wenjun led all the shop guys in Yunshuifang, including the villagers in Suzhou City who like to watch the bustle.

"Smack!"

"Mighty!"

"The deceased Liu Wei, a native of Suzhou, was beaten by the female steward Lin Yue at the door of the store in Yunshuifang at the beginning of the eighth afternoon of the first month of March, and was later carried back to the City God Temple by Wang Da, Zhang Xiao, Li Hei, and Zhu Bai to heal his wounds, and he couldn't wake up, only to find out that Liu Wei was dead, so he went to the Yamen to report to the official......"

The master of the chief bookkeeper read out the plaintiff's pleadings aloud, and asked Song Che again: "Defendant Lin Yue, can you plead guilty?" ”

"I-"

"Don't open your mouth, lest you talk nonsense."

Song Che stopped Lin Yue and asked the master bookkeeper first: "Master Huang, are you the first day to be the master bookkeeper?" We are not guilty, so how can we confess our sins? ”

"This ......" Master Huang knew that he couldn't afford to provoke this surnamed Song, so he presented the paper to He Qiu and sat back honestly.

He Qiu didn't look at the paper, but only asked Song Che: "You said that you are not guilty, but there is a basis?" ”

Song Che paced the court and said loudly:

"The cause of the incident is that Liu Wei took this gang of lepers to Yunshuifang to pick quarrels and provoke trouble, according to the "Daliang Law", trespassing on private houses, picking quarrels and provoking troubles, the owner of the house can defend himself and fight back, Yunshuifang is a shop, there are often people with unclean hands and feet, and the forest steward will expel him, and it is not illegal."

"My lord, he is quibbling, we are not picking quarrels and provoking trouble, their house is open to do business, we ...... Shall we go in and buy cloth? Wang retorted.

Song Che sneered: "The cheapest satin in Yunshuifang, 600 wen a horse, you found 600 wen on the spot - don't say that you are alone, the four of you, if you can make up enough 600 wen, I will admit this crime on the spot!" ”

Four lepers, you look at me, I look at you, where can there be six hundred texts, I'm afraid it will be difficult to find six satins. Or that Wang Da spoke:

"What? Can't you shop without money? I'll look for it first, and when I get rich, can't I come back and buy it? ”

"Okay, even if you're here to buy cloth."

Song Che took out a stack of deeds from his sleeve, asked Xu Xiao to present them to He Qiu, and said: "My lord, look, this is the deed they signed before, a slap of ten taels of silver, with additional regulations on it, no compensation for death and injury, white and black, signed and drawn. ”

"My lord! This is how they are rich and trick us poor, right...... They are rich, and ten taels of silver are not farts for them, but for us star-fighting people, it is enough for a year's food and clothing, the four of us have no father and mother since childhood, and there is no serious way to live, so I was coaxed by him to sign this 'life and death certificate', my lord, you have to make decisions for us! ”

The four lepers, papapapa, kowtowed in unison, crying and playing the emotional card.

Where would He Qiu eat this set, he was shocked, and said:

"The four of you, idle in Suzhou City, eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling, do you think the official doesn't know? If you dare to pretend to be pitiful and fool your own officials, you will be beaten first! ”

The four lepers hurriedly stopped their voices.

He Qiu put down the deed and said to Song Che again: "If a deed can buy life and death, then human life is too worthless, and this deed has no legal benefits." ”

Song Che pointed to Liu Wei's corpse and said:

"Liu Wei is nine feet tall and strong, and it was okay to be slapped twenty times during the Spring Festival before, but now he was beaten to death by a slap, which is simply impossible."

"My lord, he is clearly quibbling, the female steward of his family seems to be weak, but in fact she is as strong as an ox, she is not strong, you can see the injury on our face."

The four lepers presented their bruised and swollen cheeks to He Qiu.

Song Che sneered: "Lord He, look at these four people, compared to Liu Wei, they are jackals and tigers and leopards, they are smaller than tigers and leopards, they are all just injured, how could Liu Wei be killed?" ”

"That's because you have a grudge against Liu Wei!"

Wang Da said: "After Brother Liu lost everything, he often went to his sister-in-law to ask for money, and he went back and forth, lost all the family property, and then there was hatred. My lord, this is clearly a murder! ”

"Ridiculous!"

Song Che scolded loudly: "A penniless leper, worthy of my murder? If I want to murder him, why should I do it in public? A slap of ten taels of silver is just a lesson. ”

"That'...... Then you are manslaughter! In short, Brother Liu was killed by you! Murder pays for life, it is justified! ”

"Yes, murder pays for life! Kill for your life! ”

A group of lepers followed.

He Qiu knocked on the hall wood, exhaled quietly, and asked Song Che again: "Manslaughter, do you admit it?" ”

"Of course I don't admit it, but not only that, but I'm going to accuse them of murder!"

Song Che pointed to the four lepers and said quickly: "You said that when Liu Wei was carried to the City God Temple, he was found to be breathless, and then he was expected to die, and it was an hour since he was beaten, and within this hour, anything can happen, including your intentional murder and planting blame!" ”

"You fart! Brother Liu was obviously killed before he could do so! ”

"Do you have direct evidence?"

"We ...... We ......"

"You don't have any! But I have! ”

Song Che walked to Liu Wei's body and asked He Qiu:

"Lord He, the way people die is different, and the state of the corpse after death is also different, I implore that an autopsy be performed!"
