Chuan Qi

Chapter 77: Tit for Tat

Cold-blooded kisses holding sticks.

Boom, boom, boom... a string of fierce and mellow, arrogantly striking people's hearts.

A government officer brought out Xie Sheng, the murder suspect who had been transferred to the punishment yamen. Xiao Zhou also asked the plaintiff Mo Chou to be brought to the court.

Xie Sheng's parents also came, standing in the front row of the crowd at this time, tears crisscrossing and crying.

On the other hand, Mo Chou was surprisingly quiet, dressed in plain clothes, and did not use pink and white clothes. She didn't look at the bloodied and dirty Xie Sheng, but fixedly looked at the plaque "Hanging in the mirror" in the middle of the court.

Xie Sheng didn't look at his parents, and from time to time he quietly looked at Moshou, his eyes watered. At this moment, he no longer saw how timidly, more haggard, vicissitudes of life.

Suzhen suddenly thought: Maybe there was love between him and Mo Chou. However, Mo Chou's love has no price, but Xie Sheng's love has value. He seems to have given up a lot for Mo Chou, but it just hasn't reached his bottom line. Most love in the world is like this. There is a bottom line in people's hearts, until there is nothing to give up, it ends.

At this time, the hearing formally began, and He Sai came out to state the case.

Just as Suzhen heard in the Imperial Study Room that day, it was no different from the court record submitted by He Sai.

It is a pity that the scene of the crime, that is, the house of the maid, long before Suzhen accepted the case, and the day after He Sai closed the case, an inexplicable fire broke out. The environment on the scene was destroyed, and there was no trace of the incident.

Suzhen listened and asked slowly: "Dare to ask Master He, if Xie Sheng really killed someone, according to common sense, you should run away with Mo Chou overnight when you get home, or you should pretend that nothing happened. Sorrowful but beating the drums to complain, but why?

"Exactly!" Someone among the people called out at once.

"Master Li's words are not correct." He Sai glanced at the top of the court and smiled, "Xie Sheng killed someone viciously for a while, so how can he not panic afterwards? Therefore, he hurried away before clearing the scene. However, he thought about it afterwards. All the money and belongings at the scene were present, and the grandmother lost the gold bracelet. Once the body was found, wouldn’t it be immediately suspected on him? Need to know that many people saw him and the grandmother quarrel that night. I heard that Mrs. Li was also there at the time. People inevitably did not doubt him. When the incident happened, they were panicked and did not expect to take away some treasures from the scene to confuse the public, which made people suspect that ordinary thieves had committed murder and robbing of money.

"It's hard to think about it afterwards. Then he discussed with Mo Chou, why not start to be the best and find a scapegoat? Then Mo Chou went to beat the drums and complained of injustice, and took Wei Shizi to court and falsely accused him of murder. To escape from oneself!"

"Guguan, you are spitting blood!" Mo was trembling with anger, pointed at He Sai, and snapped.

"Little bitch! You're a false accusation prostitute, how can you interrupt here? Master Li, if you don't blame her for being a board, how can you convince the crowd? Isn't this **** to scorn your court commander and the court at will?" Zhennan The princess's red lips opened and she sneered.

The attendants beside her also responded loudly.

Suzhen chuckled and said, "The princess empresses her anger. Since it is a retrial, it is not yet known whether the false accusation is not known before the verdict, and Mo Chou is still innocent. She thinks that what Mr. He said is wrong, and it is common sense to object. Everyone, did you say that Mo Chou despised the court?"

"No!" The people outside the door stood up and shouted cheerfully.

Princess Zhennan's face changed.

Then I heard Li Huaisu said in a rather embarrassing way: "On the contrary, the empress is not the person involved in the case. At this time, she is making a sound of disturbing...the sense of court, this..."

At this time, Quan Fei glanced at Suzhen and slowly said: "The prince and the princess are relieved. This case is about evidence and truth. The truth and the two adults are entrusted by the emperor, and they must be fair to the innocent. Who Anyone who commits a crime will be punished severely and never...partially."

His ending sound was slow and soft. But this man is still the name of the world, and he said that in the court, no one was not deterred, and only felt panic.

The phrase "entrusted by the emperor" cannot but teach the many scholars and scholars present to have different ideas.

This evildoer! Suzhen smiled, but her heart sank. This Zhennan King is afraid that it will be extremely difficult, plus Quan Feitong... Silent Tiger is the most powerful.

She glanced at Li Zhaoting quietly, but saw that he was also looking at her lightly, with a smile on his lips. She was startled and looked in the direction of the crowd, only to see that Lian Yu's eyes were deep and she couldn't see why she came.

As soon as she pressed her heart to be irritable, Chao Quan Fei Tong and Zhen Nan Wang shook their heads, and then glanced at Mo Chou, implicitly warning her to calm down.

She motioned for the interrogation to continue, and said to He Raceway: "Master He said it well! It's just that the officer has a problem and wants to ask the adults for advice."

He Sai, Jing Zhaoyin, is not only a disciple of Quandi, but also a simple character? Teach Mo sorrow to scold him, and he didn't see any irritation. He smiled and said, "Master Li, please say."

Suzhen got up and walked to the audience beside Mo Chou, raising her right hand to the crowd. A gold bracelet slid from Mo Chou's white wrist to her arm.

Su Zhen said in a loud voice: "On the night of the incident, Xie Sheng had a dispute between the family inherited gold bracelet and the wife in front of Guixiang Building. The wife was killed, and the family was alone in losing the bracelet. Huai Su dared to ask the adults, and Xie Sheng arrived. What the mother-in-law did was to use Mo Chou as a cover for her crimes. Why did Mo Chou still wear this terrible gold bracelet? Isn't it strange?"

After hearing this rebuttal question, He Sai was not at all messy, smiled slightly, and said: "Master Li, doesn't this correspond to the insidiousness and cunning of the two? The thief shouted to catch the thief, and openly showed this bracelet to make people think it was something. Really as she and Xie Sheng said. It's a pity that this person is doing it, and the sky is watching. After careful investigation by the official, a witness was found."

Suzhen had seen it, heard He Sai's words, and even read the court record, so she naturally knew that it was a watchman.

When the incident happened, the bridegroom passed by the gate of the wife's house and said that he had seen Xie Sheng escape from the courtyard and was completely bloody. However, he was afraid of getting into trouble at the time, thinking that more is worse than less, so he left in a hurry instead of asking.

The watchman came up and said the same.

Suzhen didn't cross-examine him much, only that the place in the case was the biggest disadvantage to Xie Sheng.

What is your way? It turned out that the time described by the watchman was exactly the time Xie Sheng was frightened by Pei Fengji's Qianqian sword, abandoned Mo Chou in panic, and escaped from the Nunnery Courtyard. The watchman saw him behave suspiciously, but did he know whether he was murdered or injured?

By coincidence, Xie Sheng's sword wound on his chest is another piece of unfavorable evidence.

At this time, it was only seven or eight days from the incident. Although the injury showed signs of healing, it was not in good condition.

So the problem came out again.

Xie Sheng and Mo Chou said they were injured by Pei Fengji, but He Sai said that one of the three of Nai Niang returned fire.

The woman is weak, and a few of them have not practiced martial arts, so it is appropriate to fight back in a hurry and cause minor injuries.

Someone may ask: Why is there a sword in a mother's home? Isn't it a bit unreasonable?

If it is an ordinary villager, it is indeed. But it's not surprising that this flower house makes a living with fan dance, sword dance, and various dance gestures. There is a sword in my wife's house, which makes perfect sense.

At the instruction of He Sai and others, Pei Fengji had long left the sword that stabbed Xie Sheng that day at his wife's house. Everything is logical and the evidence is solid.

The trickiest thing was that Bai He came to Mo Chou that night, and Xie Sheng accompanied Mo Chou. In order to prevent the villagers from gossiping, Xie Sheng chose the small road to walk. No one saw Bai He come. Now, no one can prove that it is Bai He. He Lai finds Xie Sheng out instead of Xie Sheng taking the initiative to steal.

Suzhen briefly asked the watchman a few words to see if there were any new clues, and when she found out, she gave up quickly, and did not call anyone to check Xie Sheng's heartache.

He Sai knew what she was thinking, and sneered across her eyes: a few of us have already studied thoroughly, how can you, Li Huaisu, a stinky kid find the slightest flaw?

He plausibly stated that this was caused by the grievances and others fighting back before their deaths, but Suzhen also eloquently refuted that this was injured by the intimidation of an opportunity. For the time being, it was both reasonable and no one could win.

The people outside the fence shouted hello as the two of them spoke, and at this time they gradually fell into silence, and they were very nervous.

At this moment, Wei Chenghui and Yan Dan looked at each other. Wei Chenghui stood up and said: "The two adults submit new certificates. It is not good to let go of this unnecessary dispute and hurt each other's colleagues."

He Sai bowed his head and ordered a new witness.

When the people saw this, they all watched attentively.

Suzhen is also tight. She did not know the details, thoroughly studied every word in He Sai's court record, and then carefully observed the places mentioned, understanding that this new evidence was one of the keys.

Soon, the new witness was called up.

Those were the shopkeeper of the Hongtu restaurant and two juniors, as well as several attendants from Pei Fengji and some businessmen at the fair that day.

The number of witnesses this time is amazing.

He Sai stared at Suzhen, his eyes flickered, and said, "Master Li, everything just said before can actually be ignored. Even if he is said to be murdering, he must be at the scene. According to the husband It is said that when he saw that Xie Sheng hurriedly come out of the courtyard of the maternal grandmother, it was the first time, that is to say, the time when the crime happened that night was the second time. So he led his subordinates to the restaurant to eat and drink. Everyone here can testify. How can he kill people? Does this world know **** someone?"
