Chapter 31 Three Divisions
The case of Wanmu Temple is the only topic of conversation between Longyou people after tea and dinner during this time.
The famous Wanmu Temple was killed overnight, and the suspect in the Tu Temple was the richest man in Longyou, the second son of the He family, the in-law of the imperial master, and even the imperial court sent a special person to come down to interrogate, and for a time public opinion was full of people, saying everything.
People with soft ears are also clouds, saying that He Zhuowu has a human face and a beast's heart;
Some sane people will say that there is something strange;
Those who are familiar with He Zhuowu don't believe it, but they are just in a hurry.
Needless to say, He Jingting and his wife said that the eldest lady of the Zhao family, Duxue, was also weeping day and night, and people were getting haggard.
The He and Zhao families interceded with Cai Wenbin of Zhixian County many times, and they just wanted to see He Zhuowu, but Cai Wenbin just didn't buy it, saying that He Zhuowu was a repeat offender and was not allowed to meet according to the law!
Even the cell boss who sees money on weekdays is not easy to buy this time, which shows how deadly the ban is placed!
However, He Zhuowu is not alone in prison, except for being depressed and thinking about Ji Sisi, who was taken captive.
Because Hao Yitong wanted to stay as a court witness, Fu Enqiu was first imprisoned in Longyou and became He Zhuowu's neighbor.
I don't know if it was specially arranged by Hao Yitong, the women's prison where Fu Mingyue was located was next door to his eldest brother's cell, and the three of them were chatting about kung fu, and after a few days, He Zhuowu and Fu Enqiu got a lot closer.
Fu Mingyue's grudge against He Zhuowu has gradually faded, and she only thinks that this little brother is quite likable except for being a little dead-eyed!
It's just that Fu Enqiu's leg injury has not healed, and the wound began to pus again, He Zhuowu asked the cell boss to ask someone to come for treatment, but the cell boss said that he would ask the boss, and then chase after him without any follow-up.
Later, Hao Yi came to inspect and saw Cai Wenbin, Cai Wenbin agreed on the surface, but he kept dragging it out.
Seeing Fu Enqiu's condition getting worse, He Zhuowu and Fu Mingyue were anxious!
As soon as the two supervisors of the three divisions arrived in Longyou, Duan Shanyue asked Cai Wenbin to take He Zhuowen to see He Zhuowu on the grounds of deep brotherhood, but He Zhuowen sternly refused, and Duan Shanyue was annoyed in his heart!
He Zhuowen only went home to visit his family, asked about the situation, comforted his father, and then went back to live in the official post arranged by Cai Wenbin, and since then he has stayed at home, except for seeing a young and beautiful woman, he has not met with anyone else.
But Duan Shanyue, who was watching day and night, suffered a lot, and he didn't close his eyes for a few days!
I finally survived to the day of the trial!
On this day, half of the people of Longyou County piled up at the gate of the county government, but unfortunately they were not allowed to enter!
And the Longyou County Yagong Hall has already been rearranged.
Under the hanging plaque of the Ming Spiegel, the chair desk of the county magistrate was replaced by three row of cases, and behind the case sat the officials of the three divisions: Zhang Mao, the judge of Dali Temple, Ding Yuan, a member of the Criminal Department, and Wang Lang, the supervisor of the imperial history.
On the left side of the case sat the county magistrate Cai Wenbin, and on the bottom sat Hao Yitong, the head of the divine whip; needless to say, on the right side of the case, there were two supervisors, He Zhuowen and Duan Shanyue.
The county master is still performing his duties and sitting aside.
First, Cai Wenbin introduced the case to the trial and supervision officials, and presented an autopsy report and a physical evidence, and then the three divisions announced the suspect.
He Zhuowu was brought to the court, and when he saw He Zhuowen at a glance, he blurted out and shouted: "Brother!"
He Zhuowen saw that his younger brother was locked in heavy flail and iron shackles, and his heart was sour, but he didn't show it or answer, but after all, blood between brothers is thicker than water, He Zhuowen looked at him, and He Zhuowu knew that his brother wanted him to speak carefully, so he didn't look at his brother anymore, and came up with a sentence: "Ladies and gentlemen, before the trial, I have something to ask for!"
Wang Lang, the superintendent of the imperial history, slapped the stunned wood and reprimanded: "Boldly congratulate the criminal! As soon as he enters the court, he shouts and screams about the relationship, what kind of system has it become?"
Zhang Mao, the commentator of Dali Temple, hurriedly signaled Wang Lang to calm down, and said to He Zhuowu: "What do you say?"
"The Divine Fist thief Fu Enqiu is also being detained here, his leg whip wound has worsened, and he needs medical treatment urgently, and I hope that you will immediately arrange for a doctor to go for treatment!"
Hao Yitong listened and looked at Cai Wenbin dissatisfied, but Cai Wenbin turned his head and pretended not to see it.
"Well...... ...... with this case" Zhang Mao hesitated.
Wang Lang sneered: "Do you still have the energy to worry about others?
Ding Yuan, a member of the Criminal Department, said: "That Fu criminal has not yet been tried, how can he not be treated? Lord Cai, hurry up and find someone!"
Cai Wenbin had no choice but to do what he said and sent the official to find a doctor.
Zhang Mao was just about to ask Ming Zheng, but Ding Yuan said again: "This is the public court, not the law field, take off all the shackles and shackles! What do you think, Lord Wang?"
Wang Lang looked at it and nodded vigorously: "Well! It's really an eyesore!"
Cai Wenbin couldn't sit still, Huo Di stood up and said: "Two adults! Don't do it! This thief is fiercer than a lion tiger, once he gets out of trouble, no one will be invincible, and the consequences will be unimaginable!"
Zhang Mao frowned: "This ......"
Wang Lang interrupted: "Lord Cai's words are bad! Hao Shen can't arrest him here, it's a big deal to arrest him again! Besides, if he really dares to commit murder in the court, then we don't have to try him again, right, Lord Zhang?"
Zhang Mao squeezed out a few words: "Or...... Then unload it first!"
The official removed He Zhuowu's shackles and shackles, and Cai Wenbin sat back in a huff.
Finally able to get to the point, Zhang Mao asked, "Is it He Zhuowu?"
He Zhuowu said: "Exactly! But now it's called He Qianshan!"
Wang Lang sneered: "Is it too late to change your name now?"
He Qianshan ignored him, and told him about the cultivation in Wanmu Temple.
Duan Shanyue suddenly slapped the table: "Okay! You still belong to the same sect of killing, it's crazy!"
Duan Shanyue's movement on the table can be imagined, which frightened the faces of the three divisions!
He Zhuowen only glanced at him, but still didn't speak.
Zhang Mao calmed down, asked Duan Supervisor to calm down, and continued to ask the case: "I now sue you for killing a total of 26 monks from Wanmu Temple from Abbot Zhixin on the fifth night of the first month of this month, can you plead guilty?"
When He Qianshan heard the master's name, sorrow came from it, and his eyes couldn't help but burst into tears.
Wang Lang came again: "Conscience has been discovered, that trick!"
He Qianshan suppressed his emotions and said: "I am not guilty! The murderer is the old thief who kills the gods and ghosts Li Shangfeng! When I went down the mountain, I asked Li Erlang, who sold cooking cakes in Xicheng, to report to the county government, but for some reason, now he accused me of being the murderer?"
Zhang Mao first asked Hao Yitong, who had the most experience in martial arts, about Li Shangfeng's origin; then asked Cai Wenbin if he could have reported to Li Erlang to the official, and Cai Wenbin said that it was indeed true; and then sent Li Erlang to the hall for questioning, and the statement was consistent with He Qianshan.
Zhang Mao frowned and thought for a while, and then asked Li Erlang: "According to what you said, what you reported to the official was not what you saw with your own eyes, but He Zhuowu told you?"
“...... I listened to what the second son said, but the second son didn't know how to ......."
"Okay! Stand down!" Zhang Mao interrupted Li Erlang and said to He Qianshan again, "According to what Hao Zhutou said just now, that Li Shangfeng was trapped in the Forest of Death more than 20 years ago, and he should have long since died!
He Qianshan sneered: "The adults also said that he was trapped in the forest, but how can you conclude that he is no longer alive? Erlang has never seen him, but there should be many people who have seen him in the county that day, if the adults don't believe it, you can spread the little second who welcomed Tianweixuan, and Sister Juan, the boss of the Forgotten Hometown Building, came to ask!"
The first to arrive was Tianweixuan Xiaoer.
This time, Wang Lang asked: "Xiao Er, this official will ask you, on the fifth night of the first month of this month, have you ever seen a person named Li Shangfeng?"
Xiao Er replied: "My lord, where can we open a store and ask the name of the customer?
He Qianshan interjected, "Is that the person I went to ask you the next day?"
"Oh, I've seen it, the one who can eat it!"
Wang Lang nodded, but Zhang Mao asked again: "Are you sure that what you see is the person He Zhuowu said?"
"The appearance and dress are not quite the same as what the second son said, but the second son said that it was him!"
The shopkeeper didn't lie, but saying so was obviously extremely unfavorable to He Qianshan.
After Wang Lang asked about the appearance of the person he saw, he dismissed the shopkeeper.
After Sister Juan came, she was also realistic, and she couldn't prove that the person who did evil in the Forgotten Mansion that day was the person He Qianshan was looking for, let alone that it was Li Shangfeng, and she could only infer from the appearance described that it was very likely to be the same person who was eating Haisai in Tianweixuan, which did not help He Qianshan at all, and the grim situation was just beginning!
Zhang Mao took out a short sword and asked Cai Wenbin, "What is this?"
Cai Wenbin said: "It is the murder weapon that killed the abbot of Zhixin!"
Zhang Mao turned to ask He Qianshan: "Do you recognize this sword?"
Before He Qianshan could speak, Duan Shanyue shouted: "It must be his, exactly the same decoration as He Shilang's sword!"
He Zhuowen didn't even bother to look at him.
He Qianshan said: "Recognize, it's my sword!"
Zhang Mao said: "Even so, don't you confess?"
"No, the sword is mine, but it was taken away by Li Shangfeng to commit murder!"
He Qianshan put himself into the forest, met Li Shangfeng, and then was escaped from the forest by Li Shangfeng, and said it in general, only hiding the real reason why he entered the forest, only saying that it was because of curiosity.
Ding Yuan asked: "The forest of the dead is said to have entered but not exited, can you enter and exit freely?"
"By mistake, luck, okay?" Of course, He Qianshan couldn't tell the truth.
He Qianshan said it simply, and the inquisitors felt unbelievable when they heard it, no matter how they sounded, it looked like a story he made up, unbelievable.
Zhang Mao asked: "Just if you didn't lie, it was Li Shangfeng who committed murder, then he killed the people of the whole temple, but why did he leave you alone?"
He Qianshan said: "He didn't let me live, he just left me a glimmer of life, as for why he did this, to be honest, I don't know, maybe it's because I helped him out of the forest!"
"What do you mean, is this Li Shangfeng Thanksgiving Pictorial?" Zhang Mao turned to Hao Yitong and asked, "Hao Zhutou, with your understanding of Li Shangfeng, is he this kind of person?"
Hao Yitong replied: "I have never met Li Shangfeng, but I heard that he is treacherous and cunning, does not speak of morality, and has a thirst for killing, I am afraid that he will not be able to do something to repay his kindness!"
He Qianshan laughed out loud angrily: "Anyway, how can I say that you don't believe it, let me ask you, why did I kill my master and other fellow disciples?"
