Chuan Qi

Chapter 78: Tit for Tat

Suzhen's heart shuddered, but she just smiled on her face: "This Hongtu restaurant is one of the most famous restaurants in Shangjing, and only the best can be worthy of the identity of Pei Shizi. In fact, the official was also fortunate to visit that night. It's a pity... it's too early for the official to go, otherwise he might become a witness for the son of Fengji."

"This... turns out to be an adult. By the way, I saw an adult when I was young that night..." The shopkeeper suddenly remembered something, and said repeatedly, "Don't dare, don't dare, the grown-up is absurdly praised. The grown-ups are here, the small shop It's really brilliant. Hub"

"That's a coincidence." He Sai seemed to see her nervousness, pressing on every step of the way, and laughed, "Lord Li is not busy retelling the past, but the trial is more important."

Suzhen said "self-right" and glanced in the same direction as Quan Fei.

That night, Lian Yu also invited Quan Fei to go to Hongtu, but it was a pity that Lian Yu had something to return to the palace afterwards and never went to the palace.

Intentionally choose Hongtu as false testimony. San, is this your "return gift" to me?

The corner of Quan Fei's mouth raised slightly.

Suzhen was startled, she didn't dare to look any more, she hurriedly stopped her mind, and said, "Master He meant that these are all witnesses... I want to ask the shopkeeper a question first."

The shopkeeper immediately said, "My lord, please say, the villain must know everything and say nothing."

After two responses, we can see that this little smiley, seemingly loyal shopkeeper is really a cautious and cautious person, and he can't deal with Quan.

Suzhen took a breath and said, "On the same day, my official friend also booked one of the large rooms on the second floor in your account, but I waited for a moment and left temporarily because of something. If you dare to ask the shopkeeper, did you give the room to Brother Fengji?"

The shopkeeper smiled and shook his head, and said: "It's never before. The most important thing in the business of a small shop is honesty. It is possible for the distinguished customers to return, but also pay the silver tael first, and will keep it until the next day before another arrangement."

"Oh? So, according to Pei Shizi's identity, it is impossible to be arranged elsewhere. Should I have dinner in another private room on the second floor that night?"

"exactly."

"My official Rong said again, the private room of Dongshou that my official used that day, that is, the private room of the first son and the others were sitting in the private room except Dongshou?"

"Not bad!"

"Good!" Suzhen walked back to the stage quickly, drew the red lottery from the table, and threw it to the ground.

Everyone on the court was taken aback, not sure who she was going to beat. This red one is a torture!

But I saw this Li Huaisu standing at the table, saying word by word: "Everyone, and the son of Fengji, please listen carefully. In order to prove that the confession you gave is not a false statement, when the case happened, the son was indeed drinking with you at the restaurant. Among them, the official will now ask you questions. In order to avoid parrots and others, each person will be given a pen and paper. Every time the official asks, you need to write your confession on paper. If you have any visits to others Anyone who answers or gives reminders to others, whether he is a citizen of Da Zhou or a citizen of Wei Youguo, will be tortured by all officials."

"Yes."

The purpose of Li's punishment is to find out the inconsistencies and contradictions in the testimonies of the people, and to overthrow the false confessions colluded by many people. As everyone in the hall agreed in unison, the people outside the door applauded again and applauded.

Yan and Wei have a complete face. Quan Feitong was still smiling. The same goes for Pei Fengji.

Suzhen swallowed lightly, and clenched her slightly trembling hands. At this moment, Xiao Zhou, Lengxue and others have allocated pen and paper to the merchants, the shopkeeper, and two small second-hands.

"Excuse me, is there ever a decorative calligraphy and painting on the wall of Xidaya Room? If so, what kind of painting is it?"

After the question was over, there was a sudden silence, and everyone bowed their heads to write.

In Naya, there are indeed calligraphy and paintings, pictures of flowers and birds.

Everyone got it right.

Xiao Zhou glanced at Suzhen.

Suzhen nodded, took a deep breath, and continued to ask questions.

After that, she asked very quickly, like a cannon, asking about the order of seating, dishes, drinks, tea... everyone listed them one by one, and the answer was exactly the same.

Outside the court, the people were amazed.

Suzhen breathed lightly and stretched out her hand to slowly wipe off the thin sweat on her forehead.

She closed her eyes and was about to ask again.

He Sai suddenly stopped, "Master Li, there are only three things, so you have asked all the questions you should ask. Why bother to entangle you?"

"Master Li, we respect Da Zhou, and we just accepted this insulting second trial! It's a pity that I took a step back, but you took a step forward. My sirs, do you have such a strong reason?" King Zhennan also glanced at her at this time. The voice is cold.

The prince was also cooperative on the face just now, and it happened at this time.

Yan Dan wanted to take charge of the overall situation. He nodded to Zhennan Wang and said in a low voice, "Li mention punishment, this is the end of the interrogation of this testimony. It is time to cross-examine Xie Shengmo, or present other new evidence. ."

Suzhen shook her head, arched her hands, and said, "My Lord, I just gave evidence. Although the witnesses can answer everywhere, it is unreasonable because the testimony they gave is too rigorous and there is no omission. Dozens of them. The name of the dish, the seating position of each person... People's memory is biased, and it is impossible for everyone to remember it so clearly. We can do a test on the spot..."

Yan Dan frowned fiercely, already seeing anger.

He Sai's face even darkened, and he interrupted with a sneer, "Master Li, according to your statement, if you can't answer, it's the witness who lied; if the answer is consistent, it means that the confession is correct in advance. The left and the right are not right, and Li imposes punishment. You can judge whatever you say, and what else to try!"

The harmonies outside the grid are getting smaller at this time, although some insights believe that what Li Huaisu said is not necessarily unreasonable, but all the confession is correct after all is strong evidence.

At this time, Wei Guo's attendant also took advantage of the situation and shouted, "I will release the son immediately!"

Standing in the hall, Suzhen clearly saw the sneer smile in the eyes of the officials except Huo Changan at the exit of the inner hall. Li Zhaoting had half retreated in the inner hall, his face hidden in the darkness. The expressions of Leng Xue and others changed slightly.

At this time, Yan Tan said sternly: "Li mentions punishment, if there is no new certificate, he must... close the case!"

Wei Chenghui unfolded his sleeves, stood up, and slowly said: "Li Tixing, Pei Shizi is indeed witnessed here. After your personal trial, there is no denial; Xie Sheng could not produce any evidence to prove that he was not there at the time. . This case should be closed."

Different from Yan Dan, the light in Wei Chenghui's eyes is not bad, but it teaches her to hide.

Quan Feitong was still sitting in the chair, but after that he didn't say a word, but the whole situation seemed to be in his hands.

Suzhen condensed to the ground and said in her heart: She... lost? !

No, she still has no questions!

Pei Fengji squinted at Mo Chou, lips lightly raised, then squinted at her and smiled sarcastically. With a low hiss, Mo Chou wanted to rush towards him, but Xie Sheng, who was in the shackles of the bracelet, staggered over and half-wrapped her.

Suzhen looked at the crowd suddenly, but saw Lian Yu's gaze toward Quan.

Suzhen's heart sighed, and she understood in an instant, she walked to Yan, Wei, and King Zhennan, and said: "For the sake of showing the fairness of the big week, and to show the greatness of the big Wei, please let Huai Su last One question."

Yan Yan's face was condensed. Suzhen knew that this old man still had room for business, but Wei Chenghui, who had always stood in the middle of the way, disagreed, and Zhennan Wang didn't need to say.

The prince finally showed his posture at this time. He smiled and said: "Master Li, if the dog is guilty, the emperor Wei and my king will not protect themselves, and are guilty of the common people; if the dog is not guilty, the king will never Take a step back!"

Suzhen smiled and did not care, walked up to Quan Feiyong again, bent over, and said the same thing.

Lengxue and the others turned their heads away, not seeing her humbly but still smiling.

The people outside the hall are all quiet.

Quan Feitong chuckled lightly, feeling bored suddenly and ignored it. But I saw this Li Huaisu come up again and silently said to him: "You have nothing more than that."

Quan Fei's eyes darkened, and he said silently, "Exciting generals is useless to me."

Suzhen smiled and walked away.

Quan Feitong suddenly said, "Master, two adults, the retrial is to let the world know about Wei Zhifeng and Zhou Zhigong, so let Li mention Xing and ask one last question. Of course," he said, looking at Suzhen and sneered slightly. , Said: "One is the limit."

The three looked at each other. Finally, King Zhennan saw that the power was not the same, and said, "Well, it depends on the power."

Suzhen's heart was shaken, and again she silently said differently to Quan: "Brother Mu, thank you."

Quan Feitong ignored it, and sat down slowly. He is bored, why not look at the excitement? The result is always the same. Li Huaisu's blindly vitality, taught him to have an impulse, want to crush it all, let it cry out to Chu.

With all eyes in sight, Suzhen suddenly turned around and returned to the stage, repeatedly writing down the questions on several sheets of white paper.

Xiao Zhou was clever, and when he saw it, he took paper and pen from the side and copied it after her.

Suzhen finished writing and whispered a few words to him.

He was startled, nodded, and collected the paper with the cold-blooded four, and then whispered something to them.

Both inside and outside the hall were surprised at this time, and saw the five young people walking beside Pei Fengji and the other witnesses. After they handed the paper to the people, they asked them to write their names on the paper. They did not go away afterwards, and separated a group of witnesses in twos and threes.

After everyone finished writing, Suzhen took the overview and closed her eyes deeply. As he opened his eyes, Shen Sheng said: "Put everyone's answers on the floor in the middle of the court, so that the adults and the folks outside the court hearing will have a look."

Quan Fei's eyes moved slightly.

He Sai looked at Suzhen, but sneered secretly. No matter what question Li Huaisu asked or how to separate these people, it is impossible for the witness to fail to answer.
