Chapter 485: Bullying the Dead Can't Speak
The news reported by the officers and soldiers who came with Han Tingshi caught Huang Nanming off guard.
The others who had seen Huang Nanming beat and injured the guards with a horse whip before looked at each other and sighed.
Who would have thought that with that whip, a person would be beaten to death?!
When Han Tingshi heard that there was a plainclothes servant, he took the lead in looking at Huang Nanming, and when he saw Huang Nanming's performance, he didn't know that he didn't have to ask Master Xu anymore.
The plainclothes official was not from Shang County, but from Ping County.
"Bring the body up, and you all identify it, and see whose colleague it is."
As soon as Han Tingshi's words fell, two people walked up carrying a wooden board where a corpse was placed.
The corpse was presented directly in front of everyone, and some of them had sharp eyes, and they recognized this person at once.
"Wasn't this guy with us just now? Are you standing on your left, Brother Zhang? ”
"I seem to have an impression when you say this, he came with the officials who said they were going to search, but he didn't wear the clothes of the yamen, I thought it was a student I didn't know."
"Coming with the official who wants to search, isn't that the official of Ping County?"
Everyone's eyes were all focused on Huang Nanming.
Huang Nanming suddenly had a head and two big.
The substitute ghost he prepared really became a dead ghost, what should he do next?
At this time, the two officers and soldiers who were responsible for carrying the corpse had already placed the corpse in front of the officials of Ping County.
"Make haste and see who knows this man, and do not speak, or else your sin will be increased!"
The people who followed Han Tingshi's side were first-class in their observation of words and expressions.
Seeing the eyes of these officials flickering, and listening to the surrounding discussions, although they couldn't guess why this person was injured, they also thought of the origin of this officer.
The Pingxian officials who were tied up naturally recognized at a glance the guards who had sent a message to them.
Especially seeing with my own eyes that the people who were injured by the whip of the county commander were very entangled in their hearts at this time.
Let's not talk about it.
Sin plus one degree.
Go ahead.
In case the county commander is still saved, he will definitely settle the account after the fall.
It's a dilemma.
"Lord Assassin Shi, this corpse is my guard, belonging to the Pingxian County Government, but recently I don't know who I colluded with, and I actually falsely passed on orders in my name, I didn't know about the search last night, I just went to Zhang's mansion and received a request for help from Zhang's father to help search for the thief who kidnapped Zhang Zhida, and I didn't let this back-the-master guard go to search for details."
At the beginning, Huang Nanming was worried that others would ask for details, so he deliberately found an excuse for searching carefully.
It's just right now.
Seeing that Huang Nanming personally exposed the identity of the guard, he also put all the fault on the guard officer.
The old fritters in the county government of Pingxian County are all like human spirits, and they suddenly understand what to do.
They also followed suit.
"Lord Assassin Shi, what our county commander said is true, we did hear Huang Qiu say that we wanted to search carefully, so we came to check, and it was also he who said that a car of perfume would be seized and brought back to be carefully searched, without the order of his leader, how dare we be the master of the car in private?"
"Not only did he say that the perfume was detained, but the goods that were seized in the past were also all by him, saying that it was an order from the county magistrate, and there was a registration and random inspection, and as a result, we sent it to the county government and we didn't know what happened."
"This Huang Qiu, he must have known that he couldn't hide the matter, so he simply hit the tree headlong and died, and committed suicide in fear of sin! It must be so! ”
When a person is alive, everyone may still be afraid that he will refute.
But when a person dies, whether it is black or white, good or evil, he can be criticized by others.
Huang Nanming expressed great satisfaction with this situation.
The county government of Pingxian County is united, and this time, it is very likely to turn the tables against the wind.
Without waiting for Han Tingshi to ask those officials one by one, Huang Nanming first said: "Lord Assassin Shi, it was the lack of strict discipline by the lower officials that made Huang Qiu commit such a great crime that is intolerable by heaven, and now he has committed suicide in fear of the crime, which can be regarded as an explanation to everyone, the lower officials believe that Huang Qiu's personal property must be strictly investigated, but he seems to have been involved in gambling recently, and I don't know how much fine he can recover, alas!" ”
The last heavy sigh was like a hammer smashing into the hearts of those merchants who came to testify, which simply made people surge in anger.
But the Pingxian County Government has formed an iron plate of interests that is difficult to separate from top to bottom, even if there are witnesses and physical evidence, they all put the blame on a dead man.
If compensation is not compensated, and at this time, they will have to offend this group of officials who are about to escape from responsibility, do they still need to stand up?
Before the merchants could speak, suddenly a neighing of horses sounded.
Everyone followed the prestige, but saw Ning Wuxian, who was still lying on the horse bench just now, stood up at some point, and was holding his waist with one hand, holding the horsewhip taken out of the cloth bag on the horse's back with the other, limping towards Huang Nanming, Han Tingshi and others.
"Everyone, please see, this is the horse whip I took out from Lord Huang's night riding cloth bag, this horse whip is stained with blood, obviously it has injured people......
"So what?"
Huang Nanming eagerly interrupted Ning Wuxian's words, and was about to rush up to grab the horsewhip, but was stopped by Han Tingshi with his arm stretched out, smiling and comforting.
"Huang County's order is not in a hurry, even if there is blood stains on this horsewhip, you can't tell whether it is horse blood or human blood, even if it is human blood, is there a way to tell if it is Huang Qiu's or your Huang County's order? According to the "Daxing Decree", false accusations are to be reversed. ”
Lord Thorn is right!
Huang Nanming was in a trance for a while, and after thinking about it carefully, he thought that Han Tingshi knew that the case of the seizure of goods in Pingxian County would end the case with Huang Qiu's death, and he was unwilling to offend him, an official of the Jin Dynasty, so he deliberately defended him.
But when this sounds to Ning Wuxian's ears, it is to remind himself that he is not completely sure and cannot speak indiscriminately.
Once Huang Nanming can't be bitten to death, and Huang Nanming bites back, the charge of beating people to death will have to fall on his head in turn.
"Lord Thorn Shi, Huang County Order, you only know that I am Ning Wuxian's reputation as a poet, but you ignore that my mother is a famous doctor in Jinling, and there are all kinds of strange recipes in the family, which made peace wine, and also has the technique of saltpeter ice making, to verify whether the blood on the horsewhip is consistent with the deceased Huang Qiu, you only need to take a bowl of water and fuse the blood of the two into one."
Ning Wuxian confidently handed the horsewhip to Huang Nanming.
"Huang County Order, in order to prevent you from saying that I am doing tricks and feet in the water, I don't recognize this result, and the horsewhip will return you, this verification method, you can test it yourself, okay?"
A group of people bullying dead people can't speak, what's the ability.
If you have the ability, you can test it with peace of mind.
"By the way, before the test, I have to remind Huang County to order, if the blood on this whip is indeed consistent with the deceased, it means that the deceased died because of your serious injuries, and did not commit suicide in fear of crime, then, you and all the officials in this Ping County are knowingly not reporting and deliberately concealing the murder, this murder case is not the same as the case of seizing goods, especially if you are still in the government, knowing the law and breaking the law, the crime will be added to the first, plus deliberately planting ......"
Ning Wuxian folded his fingers and calculated, revealing a kind smile in the frightened eyes of the officials.
“…… Almost every official can stop the vegetable market and cut off your head three times, unless you make up for it, I think Lord Assassin Shi should give you a chance to reduce your punishment. Isn't it, Lord Thorn? ”
