Chapter 45 It is difficult to judge a crime without evidence or evidence
Li Chengyun, the chief catcher of Youxian County.
In the hearts of many ruffians in Youxian County, he is even more terrifying than Tietang.
Hearing this name, Yang Hongguang and Yang Zhengye glanced at each other, and their bodies trembled, as if they realized that something was wrong.
Bang, bang.
Li Chengyun was quickly escorted by two blue-clothed arresters, and his body alone had iron chains and shackles of one or two hundred catties, and his muscles and bones were disordered for several days, making his body look a little distorted.
Today, there are not many people watching the case, but there are more than a dozen or twenty, and when I heard what Zhang San said before, they were so angry that they couldn't do it, and there were many people who scolded them.
But when Li Chengyun was escorted up, the voices of the people instantly became much quieter.
"Could this person be the chief catcher of Youxian County?"
"Tie Qingtian is really capable, this kind of person has been arrested."
"The arrest is the arrest, but I want to be convicted..... I'm afraid it's not that easy. ”
"It's not something I'm worried about, just concentrate on watching Mr. Tie arrest the head of the case."
.........
Tie Tang saw him come up and waved his hand: "Give him a seat!" ”
The two sturdy catchers jointly carried an iron chair over and placed it behind Li Chengyun.
After he sat down, Tie Tang asked lightly: "Li Zhutou, you should hear it clearly in the back hall, what do you think?" ”
Li Chengyun raised his eyebrows, his eyes half-open and half-closed: "Tietang..... What's your name? Do you have to sue myself for not being able to? ”
What Yang Zhengye did, Li Chengyun is clear.
It is precisely because he is too clear that he naturally will not say it, otherwise he will not know it, it is dereliction of duty, and the crime is confirmed.
Don't look at him now that he has been tied up by Tie Tang to Yuncheng, but he is only a suspect in name, and it can even be said that he is only here to assist in handling the case.
As long as the crime is not decided, when he returns to Youxian, he will still be the head catcher.
"Li Chengyun, this official will give you another chance, do you really want to shield the murderer?"
"Heh~"
Li Chengyun's face was full of disdain.
"Hairy boy, dare to be an official?"
"Iron catcher, official...... No, you think I'm doing it for my own sake?
Just wait.
It won't be long before you figure it out! ”
Tie Tang's expression gradually condensed, what Li Chengyun said didn't seem like empty words, could it be that he still had something to rely on?
In the past few days, because he was busy with Yuan Hua's affairs, he did not take time to interrogate Li Chengyun.
And the torture hall was arrested a few times, and the effect was also lacking, and Li Chengyun ignored them at all.
After all, the other party is the head arrester of a county, and the crime is not too big, so they naturally dare not use torture indiscriminately.
"Haha~"
Hearing Li Chengyun's ridicule, Yang Zhengye couldn't help laughing, and the whole person fell to the ground, so happy.
Li Chengyun glanced at him, and scolded his eighteenth generation ancestors in his heart, and finally couldn't help it, so he scolded on the spot.
"Idiot!"
"Ugh!" Yang Zhengye's laughter stopped abruptly.
He turned his head and looked at Li Chengyun incredulously, as if he wondered why the other party was acting like this.
"Tie Tang can't handle me, can't he still handle it?
You don't look at whose land it is.
For a person like you, if you are bumped into by me in the Youxian court, you will play a twenty-big board first. ”
Yang Zhengye looked up at Tie Tang tremblingly, only to see that the other party's face was dark, and he was about to move, knowing that he had made a big disaster.
Poof!
The sound of kowtowing came.
But it's not Yang Zhengye, it's Yang Hongguang.
"The adult spared his life, Xiao'er did have a conflict with Liu Xing that day, but that was a previous grudge.
The arson was also committed by children, but it was only to vent anger, not to kill.
As for why Liu Xingfa was burned alive, I really don't know. ”
Yang Hongguang knew that something was wrong, and directly confessed for his son, leaving the sluggish Yang Zhengye stunned in place, and he didn't come back to his senses.
Tie Tang was first provoked by Li Chengyun and was annoyed, and then he was ridiculed by Yang Zhengye, and a nameless fire rose on his head, he was not a person who was angry.
After Yang Hongguang pleaded guilty, he ignored it, and directly glanced at the arrest and officials at the scene, in front of the people watching the case.
He asked coldly: "This guy laughed at the official in public, I want to find a crime to beat him first, you may find a reason?" ”
The group of catchers, trappers, and officials glanced at each other.
Know that the opportunity to make meritorious service has come!
They have come up with suggestions.
"My lord, I have a plan."
"My lord, this roaring court should be hit fifty boards first."
"Fifty boards are less, hit one hundred first."
..........
Bang! Bang! Bang!
"Ahh
"Ahh
Yang Zhengye was like a dead fish, chained to a long bench, and on each side stood a servant holding a water and fire stick.
One by one, mixed with Yang Zhengya's screams, the two of them fought vigorously and sweated profusely.
Less.
Thirty boards are finished.
"Good!"
"Fight hard."
"Like such a village bully, he should be sharpened well."
The people who watched the case outside the red line applauded one after another.
As Li Chengyun said.
Don't look at what kind of place it is.
Tie Tang didn't even hide it, he was going to beat him if he was looking for a name, and he had to bear it well, and even Yang Hongguang didn't plead.
Because it's useless to know!
Syllable!
The startling wood fell, and Tietang's voice sounded.
"Yang Zhengye, do you admit guilt?"
Yang Zhengye had snot on his face and tears on his face, his buttocks had already bloomed, and he lay on the bench and replied in a daze.
"All things are just as my father has said."
Tie Tang thought for a while, looked at Meng Ying'er, and asked softly, "What do you think of what he said?" ”
Meng Yinger hugged Xiaodouding and didn't believe what Yang Hongguang said.
"My lord, they just want to reduce the crime, although my beloved has been injured, it is impossible to let the fire engulf him without knowing it.
And when the woman was leaving, she watched Yang Zhengye beat up my beloved, and she must have set fire to her body after she was killed, trying to cover up the traces. ”
"Have you ever seen Liu Xingfa beaten to death by him?"
"This ..... No. ”
Meng Yinger didn't lie, she told the truth, she believed in Tie Tang very much.
Yang Zhengye trembled and said: "Big.... My lord, since she's... If you don't see it, how can you say.... Did I kill Liu Xingfa first?
All.... It's all just her speculation. ”
"My lord, above the court, it is about evidence, and now there is no empirical evidence to prove that Liu Xingfa was beaten to death by my child." Yang Hongguang also began to exert force.
Meng Ying'er burst into tears: "My lord, no, it must have been Yang Zhengye who killed my beloved first."
With the martial arts cultivation of my beloved, how can he be burned to death by a fire?
Even if he was wounded, he could easily get out of the fire, which was not a prison. ”
Tie Tang has his own plans in his heart.
Liu Xingfa is a person who has completed the Bone Forging Realm, even if he is injured in bed, he wants to burn him to death in a fire......
That's a blasphemy against martial arts!
The father and son of the Yang family still didn't tell the truth, they just admitted to the arson, trying to create a situation where Liu Xingfa died unexpectedly.
However, apart from the testimony of Zhang San and four other ruffians, there is no other evidence that can confirm that Liu Xingfa died before the fire.
It has been more than two months since the incident.
The scene of the crime was already in tatters, and Liu Xingfa's body had already been buried, which could be used as evidence in court......
There are only a few testimonies written in cursive writing that day.
Seeing that Tie Tang was silent, Yang Hongguang added a fire.
"My lord, Zhang Sansi and my child are accomplices, and in order to clear their name, they threw their names at Xiao'er.
There is no evidence for this..... Adults should examine it carefully, so as not to wrongfully accuse the innocent. ”
The testimony of Zhang Sansi can indeed only be regarded as corroborating evidence, and cannot be used as conclusive evidence, because the four of them are also suspects.
Apparently.
Yang Hongguang has already calculated this.
As long as Li Chengyun doesn't open his mouth, it is naturally impossible to convict Yang Zhengye of these scoundrels alone.
There was an eerie silence above the courtroom.
Li Chengyun sat on the iron chair, closed his eyes and recuperated, obviously not intending to meddle in this matter.
The father and son of the Yang family looked at each other frequently, and there was no lack of smugness in their eyes.
When Yang Hongguang heard Tietang's name, he had already made a plan in his heart.
Aren't you famous, known as the blue sky?
If the case is tried in court, evidence must be presented, and if there is no evidence, how can we convict?
If it were replaced by other officials like Li Chengyun, I am afraid that Yang Hongguang would have pleaded guilty to the law long ago.
Because he knows that these officials won't tell you the evidence.
Just plant a few stolen goods and get a few 'ironclad evidence', and you can be cured to death.
On the contrary, it is a clean official like Tietang-
It's easier to handle!
"Brother Tang, this old man is so arrogant, let's beat him a few big boards first, and see if he can recruit him." Biqi on the side was so angry that he couldn't do it.
Duan Jingrui also got up and said: "Chief arrester, since the case is still to be discussed, it is better to postpone the trial." ”
He obviously also saw that there was no empirical evidence now, and wanted to relieve Tietang.
Looking at the triumphant father and son of the Yang family, Tie Tang laughed.
Really.
What the magistrate said is not without a little truth.
If you want to be a good official, you must first be a corrupt official!
If I don't have the name of the blue sky...... I took these two down casually today.
But.
Corrupt officials have their own methods, and clean officials naturally have the means to clean up officials.
Tie Tang got up from his seat, walked in front of the father and son of the Yang family, and stood with his hands in his hands.
The wind blew, the dark blue official robe hunted, and the red-headed and black-bottomed official boots appeared in front of Yang Zhengye's eyes.
"Yang Zhengye, you still don't admit your guilt? Do you think that the official has no evidence? ”
