Chapter 22

Sun Zhaohai slapped and said sternly: "I'm not guilty?"

The sound is extremely loud and it surrounds the beams in the court.

As an official, he was called official power and momentum. He asked sternly, which was shocking and disturbing people's minds. He was similar to the Buddhist lion roar. Sun Zhaohai tried cases all year round and was naturally proficient in this way. This loud shout scared everyone present.

Lan Zhili said, "My Lord said that Caoren killed people, is there any evidence?"

Sun Zhaohai said: "Okay, I will give you evidence! Transmit physical evidence!"

A yamen runner dragged a plate and a blue long gown with blood stained on it. Sun Zhaohai said: "When you were arrested at the City God Temple that night, how can you explain the bloody clothes on your body?"

Outside the hall, Fan Xiaodao said suspiciously: "Blood Clothes? Why haven't you heard of it before?"

Zhao Xing tried Lan Zhili on the night of the incident, but there was no such thing as Bloody Clothes at that time. He handled cases all year round and naturally knew the tricks. Someone deliberately framed and forged evidence.

Lan Zhili said: "This bloody clothes are not owned. Miss Sun died of poisoning. How could she say bloody clothes?"

Sun Zhaohai shouted: "You have been locked in jail these days, how can you find out that she died of poisoning? Still, I said that it was not what you did?"

Lan Zhili was a little panicked and said, "This case is so popular in Beijing. I heard someone else tell me about it in prison."

"Dare you still quibbling?"

Sun Zhaohai did not continue to get too entangled in the bloody matter and said, "The successor witness Li Baniang!"

In the crowd, Li Baniang, who was as beautiful as a bucket, was dressed up in a shiny way and came to the court to show her salute, "I, Li Baniang, I'll bow to you. I haven't visited Baihua Building for a long time, and the girls in the building are all thinking of you!"

"Ahem..."

Everyone laughed loudly.

Sun Zhaohai said sternly, "Don't talk nonsense! Li Baniang, I ask you, can you know this person in the hall?"

Li Baniang looked at Lan Zhili and said, "This person's surname is Lan and is a regular visitor to our Baihualou. It's really a headache to pester my daughter Mengwu in the past six months."

"Have he ever been to Baihua Building on the fourth day of this month?"

Li Baniang said, "I've been there! In the past six months, he lost all his money and wanted to take my daughter away. My daughter disagreed. The two of them even had a big fight. The Lan, who was surnamed Lan, was angry and threatened to kill Mengwu. She thought it was anger, but she thought it would be a prophecy. This thing that was worse than the beast did such a conscience. She asked the master to make the decision for my daughter!"

Lan Zhili said angrily: "I have always been polite to Miss Sun. I have never even said a harsh word. How can I quarrel? You thief, you are clearly accusing me!"

Li Baniang said: "How could I slander? More than a hundred girls and dozens of friends in Baihua Building can testify!"

"If you want to add a crime, you will be in trouble!"

Li Baniang stepped forward and grabbed Lan Zhili's collar and said, "I want to kill you with my own hands and avenge my daughter!"

Lan Zhili was so relaxed that he said, "Did you ever hear her just say she wants to kill me? If I die in the future, whether it is sentenced to death, or birth, old age, sickness and death, the murderer will be Li Baniang."

Everyone laughed again.

"I'm just talking. It's your sin that you deserve to die. What does it have to do with me?"

Lan Zhili said: "Not to mention that I have never said that I have killed Miss Sun with my own hands. Even if I say that, it doesn't mean that the murderer is me."

Everyone felt that Lan Zhili was wrong when they saw this argument. However, the roaring roar in the court made an inappropriate interrogation, which made Lord Sun a little ugly.

Sun Zhaohai said: "Shut up. This is above the court, not the vegetable market. How can you two behave like this?"

Fan Xiaodao also felt strange. When he saw Lan Zhili yesterday, he was just a weak young man and spoke a little bit scholarly. Why did he suddenly become so eloquent in the court? Could it be that there was a master behind him?

Lan Zhili continued: "These are just indirect evidence. Sir, if I kill Miss Sun, I dare to ask when and where is it, and where is the weapon?"

The Shaoqing of Dali Temple came to Sun Zhaohai and whispered a few words. Sun Zhaohai said, "On the night he was captured, you personally told me that you killed Sun Mengwu and had a confession as a basis. Today, he turned the confession in the court. This is a disrespect to the court and despised the court. If you come, you will be punished forty again first!"

Lan Zhili shouted: "I am wronged. This confession was a warning for the captain who tried the case that night, and he was forced to confess, and he was scolded."

People are the slaughter and I am the slaughter.

In front of the stick, any clever argument is futile.

Four quick-squad yamen runners left the line and pressed Lan Zhili to the ground. They beat Lan Zhili with sticks and made her skin burst into tears and wailed.

Seeing this, Fan Xiaodao whispered to Zhao Xingdao, "This case is too sarcastic."

Zhao Xingdao: "This is indeed the law of the Ming Dynasty."

In Sun Mengwu's case, if the motive for murder is mentioned, love killing is indeed a good reason, but the key to this case is that these bloody clothes and personal evidence are indirect evidence, and there is no direct evidence to show that Sun Mengwu died at the hands of Lan Zhili.

Zhao Xing tightened the letter in his hand. After the silver fraud, he also doubted the authenticity of the contents of the letter.

Seeing that the case was about to be finalized, Zhao Xing decided to fight for the last time.

He stood up and shouted: "Mr. Sun, my subordinates have new clues to report!"

When Sun Zhaohai saw Zhao Xing, he felt a big headache.

He served as the prefect of Shuntian for four years and knew that the case was complicated and the background of the people involved was complicated. If the Ministry of Justice had not been forcibly entrusted, Sun Zhaohai would not want to hear the case. For this reason, he specially brought people from Dali Temple and the Ministry of Justice. If something went wrong in the future, he would finally give up.

Shuntian Prefecture, a fifth-rank official in Beijing, is nothing in a place like a dog, where there are so many powerful officials in the capital. He is suffering from some splinters all day long. He doesn't want to be too much or too much, he just wants to close the case quickly.

Zhao Xing is the six-door captain, and has many contacts with Shuntian Prefecture. Sun Zhaohai naturally recognized him. Seeing Zhao Xing come out, Sun Zhaohai had to ask: "Captain Zhao, I heard that you have been suspended from work at home. This case has nothing to do with you, so why bother to get involved?"

"As a constable, he ate the salary of the court, maintained the majesty of the Ming Dynasty's laws, and investigated the case by killing murderers. The Sun Mengwu case has been tracing the case in recent days, and several doubts were found. The petition was listed in the hall. Please give a clarification!"

Some words are justified and stern.

The onlookers watched the fun in the hall without bothering them. When they heard the case was ups and downs, they all said, "Let him say it!"

Du Jinliang, the young minister of Dali Temple, said: "Zhao Xing, the evidence in this case is conclusive. Dali Temple and the Ministry of Justice have given opinions. Could it be that you want to make trouble?"

Zhao Xingdao: "It is not that the subordinates have a problem, but that the subordinates have evidence that the murderer may have someone else in this case."

The three judges looked at each other and had to say, "Speak."

"According to the results of the coroner's autopsy, Sun Mengwu died of a strange poison after being stunned. She was infected with this poison, and her blood was clotting all over her body. The body remained in her life for several months, no different from a living person. Because of this, although Sun Mengwu's head was cut off, there was no blood on her clothes. The conditions for refining this poison were extremely harsh. Lan Zhili lived in an inn in Beijing, and his subordinates had checked his place and there was no abnormality."

Seeing this, Li Baniang said, "Even if she died of poisoning, it doesn't prove that the poison was not given by him."

Zhao Xing said again: "Yesterday, we searched in Sun Mengwu's room and found that the things in her room were put on again. In a corner, we found a teacup crumb. There was a drug called orchid zhi on the debris. When we asked the coroner to perform an autopsy, we found that Sun Mengwu also had this drug in her body. So it can be concluded that Sun Mengwu was already killed when she left Baihua Tower, and the Huangfu was not the scene of the crime."

Sun Zhaohai said: "But the file says that on the way to Huang Mansion, many people saw her in the carriage."

Zhao Xingdao: "This is exactly the strange thing about the poison. I have asked people from Baihualou and Huangfu. When Sun Mengwu left Baihualou and entered Huangfu, he had never seen anyone except his personal maid Xiaoqing. Sun Mengwu, who was seen by the people in the carriage, was most likely to have been killed."

Li Baniang said, "It's nonsense!"

She knelt down and said, "Sir, after my daughter died, this Constable Zhao and a man surnamed Fan came to our Baihua Building several times and repeatedly, and used the excuse of blackmail on the grounds of investigating the case. We reported it to Six Gate, so we were suspended from work and investigated. They should not listen to their words."

Sun Zhaohai glared and said, "Listen or not, do you want me to teach me?"

Li Baniang shivered in fear.

Sun Zhaohai asked again, "Do you say that Sun Mengwu's body was completely free of blood after her death, and she died of poisoning. Have you ever found the source of the poison?"

Zhao Xingdao: "This poison is the poison used in the case of the Ten Thousand Poison King twenty years ago. It can only be made in an ice cellar. For several days, my subordinates have been investigating this matter. There was no clue at all, but today, my subordinates received a letter with evidence in the letter showing that there was this poison in Li Baniang's Baihua Building."

Li Baniang said: "You mean I can kill people?"

"I just said there was poison in your building, and I didn't say that you killed it."

"What we are doing in Baihualou is doing in a flesh-and-skinned business, so how can we hide such things that are harmful to nature? Sir, Captain Zhao is clearly a false accusation."

Zhao Xingdao: "What if I can find it?"

Li Baniang was not willing to be outdone and said, "If I can find it, I will eat it all in one bite!"

Zhao Xing smiled and handed the letter in his hand to the clerk. The clerk submitted it to Sun Zhaohai and the other two judges for circulating. When the three saw the letter, they retreated to the side hall and discussed it. After a while, the three returned to the lobby.

Sun Zhaohai asked, "Li Baniang, is there a dark room in your room?"

Li Baniang said: "Yes."

"What's inside?"

"It's some of the girls' body sale contracts, and some gold, silver and jewelry."

"Nothing else?"

"No."

Sun Zhaohai ordered: "Constable Li, send someone to Baihua Building and search Li Baniang's room according to the contents of the letter."

...

Partial hall.

The case outside is under trial, and the Chu River and Han chess are invincible.

The chess players were two old men. One was wearing a Taoist robe and a five-beam crown on his head. He looked kind and had a fairy-like appearance. The other was an eunuch wearing a crimson robe. Two other boys served Xiangming. A woman sat next to him and said with a smile: "Master Taoist, if you continue like this, you will not take three steps. You will abandon your son and admit defeat."

The Taoist priest took a look at the chess game and the situation was already behind. If he passively took action, he would probably be powerless to turn the situation around in this game.

He raised his hand, Che Qipingsi said, "General!"

The woman said, "What a irrational step!"

Before the eunuch could speak, she took the lead in vaulting, "I've eaten. I have no regrets!"

The Taoist priest laughed, and took the opportunity to vault, occupied the cannon position, and untied his own siege. The woman said angrily: "So you are using fraud!"

The eunuch said: "What a car to save the car and keep the handsome guy."
