Chapter 113: Retrial
Chapter 113: Retrial
Money talks.
Driven by the money, within an hour, all the villagers left the village. The guards went to investigate, but no one was left behind.
"Master, they're all gone." Chasing clouds and reporting to Yu Zheng.
Yu Zheng bowed: "Leave a team of yacha to guard on the high ground in case someone steals back." ”
"Yes." Chasing Yun ordered to go down, and after doing it, he went with Yu Zheng to inspect the river embankment.
When I returned to the city after everything was done, it was already afternoon.
At this time, the rain stopped for a while, and the streets that had been silent for a day were filled with pedestrians.
Yu Zheng rode across the long street, and walked towards Fu Yin's Mansion with a tired face.
After a tiring night and a day, he was exhausted and just wanted to go back and take a hot bath and get a good night's sleep.
Seeing that the rain had stopped, Jiang Shu, who had been stuffy in the inn for a day, estimated that Yu Zheng had rested enough, so he wanted to ask Zhao Renxian about the specific situation of his arrest.
After all, they are also half involved in this matter, and if they don't understand the other half, they are always worried in their hearts.
The master and servant took the carriage to the Fu Yin Mansion, and after getting off the car, they saw a group of people gathered in front of the Fu Yin Mansion, which was very lively.
"This belly is so big, I'm afraid it must be August and September."
"Why is King Jing so cold-blooded and ruthless, this woman has been kneeling for half an hour with her pregnant body, and she refuses to see her."
"What a noise!" The guards on duty shouted at the onlookers, and finally frowned and looked at the pregnant woman kneeling on the ground: "I said that His Royal Highness King Jing is not here, let you go back." ”
"Official, please, let me meet His Royal Highness King Jing, my husband has really been wronged." The woman wept bitterly and pleaded.
Jiang Shu and Tan Yu squeezed into the crowd, and their faces were full of surprise after seeing the kneeling woman: "Mrs. Wang." ”
The pregnant woman kneeling on the ground was not a bystander, it was Mrs. Wang who met in Lingyin Temple that day.
"Jiang Gongzi." Mrs. Wang also recognized Jiang Shu, her beautiful face was full of tears, and her expression was sad and sad.
"Why are you here? If you have anything to say, get up first, there is still rain on the ground, beware of catching a cold and hurting your body. Jiang Shu asked Mrs. Wang's maidservant to help her up.
Mrs. Wang got up with difficulty, supported her waist and choked up: "My husband offended the son-in-law of Lord Yin a few days ago, and was arrested and sentenced to prison and beheaded after the autumn. ”
"This morning, I heard that Lord Yin has been investigated and punished by King Jing for corruption and bribery, so I came to ask King Jing to release my husband."
Originally, Mrs. Wang thought that her husband would definitely die, and she was ready to collect the body and widow for him. But she didn't want to learn that Zhao Renxian's crime was exposed and imprisoned today, and she saw hope again.
But no matter how much she knelt down and pleaded, the guards refused to let her see King Jing, and the little hope that rose in her heart turned into despair again.
After listening to Mrs. Wang's narration, Jiang Shu asked her, "What crime has your husband been convicted of?" ”
"Kill."
Jiang Shu was shocked when he heard this: "Are you sure that your husband was wronged?" ”
Murder is not a side crime, and someone must be convicted only after he dies.
Mrs. Wang nodded violently and said firmly: "My husband is very timid, he is even afraid of blood on weekdays, he doesn't dare to look at killing chickens, and he never has the courage to kill." ”
So if this person was not killed by Wang Gongzi, who would have killed him?
The answer is self-explanatory.
Carefully speaking, Mrs. Wang also helped Jiang Shu, and for the sake of her pot-bellied and kind-hearted, Jiang Shu decided to help her as well.
Of course, Jiang Shu just wanted to ask Yu Zheng to find out about the matter. If Mrs. Wang's husband was really wronged, then he should be innocent.
If the charges are true, Jiang Shu will not plead for favoritism.
"Don't worry, I know King Jing, I'll take you to meet him." Jiang Shu soothed.
Mrs. Wang's eyes lit up after hearing this, and she said with anticipation: "Really? Thank you Jiang Gongzi. ”
Jiang Shu walked up to the guards and asked him to pass on King Jing, so he asked to see him.
The guards looked Jiang Shu up and down a few times, and said unmoved: "His Royal Highness King Jing is not in the mansion, even if the saint comes and can't see him." ”
"Okay, then we'll wait here, His Royal Highness King Jing will always come back." Jiang Shu was not discouraged or arguing, and waited quietly in front of the door.
The crowd of onlookers did not disperse, first, to see how King Jing dealt with this matter, and secondly, to see the true face of King Jing's Lushan.
After waiting for about a quarter of an hour, the sound of horses' hooves sounded in the street, from far and near.
Jiang Shu followed the prestige, and when he saw the person in charge, he was overjoyed and greeted him: "Lord Wang." ”
Yu Zheng was slightly stunned, and after stopping the horse, he turned over and dismounted neatly.
"How long have you been here?" Yu Zheng's voice was low and hoarse, and his face was tired.
Jiang Shu said softly: "Soon, where have you been?" ”
Yu Zheng's clothes and trousers were still wet, and he must have gone out in the rain before.
Some things are inconvenient to say in front of people, so Yu Zheng said briefly: "I went out of the city, what happened?" ”
There were many people gathered in front of the house, and there was a pregnant woman with a sad face, something must have happened.
Seeing that Jiang Shu really knew Yu Zheng, Mrs. Wang's heart was relieved, and she knelt down in front of Yu Zheng and stated the facts.
After hearing this, Yu Zheng raised his eyebrows and instructed Chasing Yundao: "Let Zhufeng bring the two criminals to the court and find all the evidence in the case file." ”
"Yes." Chasing clouds and taking orders.
Yu Zheng said to Jiang Shu again: "You take Mrs. Wang to sit in the court, and I will change my clothes and come." ”
Jiang Shu nodded in response, and asked the maid to help Mrs. Wang to the court.
The Lin'an Mansion is in the north of the Yin Mansion, and it is only half a cup of tea to walk over.
Hearing that the case was going to be retried, the onlookers flocked to the government office and stood outside the yamen waiting.
Jiang Shu accompanied Mrs. Wang and waited for half an hour, and Yu Zheng came. After waiting for a while, Chafeng came with Wang Gongzi and Zhao Gongzi.
"Get on your knees." The yacha pushed the two to the ground.
"Husband." Mrs. Wang ran over emotionally, hugged the unkempt prince, and wiped the dirt off the prince's face with a silk handkerchief.
"Ma'am." Wang Gongzi raised his head, and his handsome face was full of fear and panic.
Jiang Shu and Tan Yu saw Wang Gongzi's face and stood on the spot.
Isn't this prince of Wang Jia Zhuang who cooperates with them!
How could such a coincidence occur!
When he first cooperated with the Wang family, Jiang Shu felt that Wang Gongzi was unreliable, but he never expected him to be so outrageous.
Before they left Lin'an Mansion, he tossed himself into a prisoner.
If it weren't for Yu Zheng's investigation of Zhao Renxian, Wang Gongzi would definitely die.
With a long sigh and shaking his head, Jiang Shu felt sorry for Mrs. Wang.
She is such a good person, why did she marry such a gentleman as Wang Gongzi?
Yu Zheng didn't know the origin of Jiang Shu and Wang Gongzi, so he lowered his head and looked at the case file seriously.
chased the wind and slapped the wood, asked Mrs. Wang to return to the side and sit down, and the case opened.
Wang Gongzi carefully recounted the incident.
On the night of the crime, Wang Gongzi went to the drunken Red Mansion to drink, and fought with Zhao Gongzi for fighting for a girl.
They were on the third floor at the railing, and during the scuffle, Zhao Gongzi kicked Wang Gongzi, and when Wang Gongzi retreated, he accidentally knocked the girl downstairs and died on the spot.
Seeing this, Zhao Gongzi asked the attendants to arrest Wang Gongzi. On the second day, Zhao Renxian held a trial and sentenced Wang Gongzi to be beheaded after Qiu for homicide.
After listening to Wang Gongzi's confession, Jiang Shu was silent.
Some are innocent, but not entirely innocent.
